Chapter 303
On the other hand, the Under-17s also had a tough game against Iran. kan121 The Chinese team only broke through to the Iranian team penalty area a few times in the whole game. But the shot is either powerless or angleless. Neither could get on the scoresheet. However, captain Zhou Haiyang did lead the members of the back line to stubbornly block the Iranian team's attacks again and again. In a 120-minute game. In the cheers of the fans at the scene, Leng dragged the game into a penalty shootout. And in the end, they relied on penalties to send the Iranian team home. Zhou Haiyang once again led the U17 to the semi-finals.
So, it's really important where the captain is located. The captain of the U15 is Zhang Feng, who is mainly scorer. So the offense is sharp. Although the offense often comes from Zhang Feng's solo performances. But like the Under-15s, when the captain is usually an attacking player, the team tends to focus on attack. While the captain is a defensive player, the team is more defensive. When the captain is a midfielder, the team is more technical.
Zheng Youshan's personal ability is there, but the entire U19 has his own skills. Stronger in all positions. And it's also a technology-based South Korean team. Naturally, you have to eat deflated. It's just that he is also a well-known young player in China. He is also the captain of the respective teams of the national youth U echelon. Zheng Youshan will inevitably not be compared to Zhang Feng and Zhou Haiyang.
And there are only two concepts of strength and weakness among Chinese people. One is winning or losing. One is how many goals are scored. If the game is lost. But individually scored a lot of goals. The fans not only didn't blame him, they comforted him. is like Zhang Feng, it's not that he can't do it. Instead, he was dragged down by his weak teammates. But Zhou Haiyang is a technical midfielder. It's not a scoring type. He also wants to rely on his ability to score in the face of a weak forward line. It's a pity that he doesn't have the ability of Zhang Feng. He rushed in and it turned out to be better than passing the ball to the striker.
Therefore, when he loses the game, he must not have scored. The game was lost again and no goals scored. When domestic fans are angry, they will naturally throw anything at him. Even when I was interviewed at the end of the game. Even the reporters were a little unkind to him. Zheng Youshan was the last of the three echelons to compete. As soon as the game ended, the first question he asked when stopped by a media reporter was: "In the knockout round held today." Zhang Feng and Zhou Haiyang both led their respective teams to victory, reaching the semi-finals of the Asian Youth Championship and securing the World Youth Championships. And you did lead the team to lose the game. What do you think about this, please. ”
As soon as I heard this question, I knew that the reporter was also holding his breath. Apparently she was also particularly unhappy with the performance of the Under-19 national youth team in today's game. It's just that there is no need to interview those garbage players. Naturally, he sprinkled his anger on Zheng Youshan's head.
If the national football player has to scold the reporter. But Zheng Youshan's attitude is indeed very good. He also fully embodies the duties of a captain. With tears in his eyes, he replied, "It's me who didn't do well enough." I'm sorry for the fans' expectations. I'm going to train as hard as I can. Strive to lead the team to better results in future competitions. ”
As soon as he answered like this, it was not easy for the reporter to continue to ask such questions. In the end, he could only comfort: "The best time for the national youth team in the Asian youth field was to enter the quarterfinals." You've done a great job, too. Don't be too upset. ”
It is to comfort Zheng Youshan. It's kind of a word for him. The best time for the national youth team in the previous Asian Youth Championship was to reach the quarterfinals. Zhang Feng appeared to lead the national youth team to the semifinals, and the champions, runners-up and third places were all won. He even won the championship and runner-up in the World Youth Championships. Subsequently, Zhou Haiyang also led the team to progress. Reached the semi-finals of the Asian Youth Championship. Although there was no performance in the World Junior Championships. But it can also be regarded as creating the history of two national football teams reaching the World Youth Championship. It also won the right to participate in the Youth Olympic Games.
This time, it was again two teams that rushed to the final four. Therefore, fans also have higher expectations for the national football team. Hopefully, there will be a grand event where three teams can enter the World Junior Championships together. Even on the part of the Football Association. Because this represents the rise of Chinese football. It's just a pity that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. The U19s failed to defeat their old rivals, South Korea. That's why the media and fans are angry.
If it is placed before Zhang Feng participates in the Asian Youth Championships. The national football team failed to reach the semi-finals, so it failed to reach. Fans will be disappointed, but they will also feel normal. Because I haven't been in it before. This time it's just a repetition of history.
That night, Zhang Fengzhi didn't watch much news. But Qianqian has been watching. She's going to take the idol route. Therefore, I attach great importance to the evaluation of myself by the media and domestic fans. If you see a good review, you will be happy. When I saw the bad reviews, I would still mumble to Zhang Feng about something unfavorable to the fans. Zhang Feng didn't say anything different from what she thought. At least will be with her.
Today is also the time for Zhang Feng to return to the hotel after training. Qianqian was applying a mask while reading the comments. Then he said to Zhang Feng: "It is also to enter the semi-finals." You've got four goals in the game. You see the results. Some of the reports about you only mention it. Some didn't even mention it. You see, it's all about singing praises to Zhou Haiyang. There are also those who help Zheng Youshan speak. ”
Zheng Youshan failed to lead the team to the semifinals. Although it disappointed the media people. But his performance in answering the media was clearly recognized by the media. After all, anywhere in the world. Tears can always quench all anger.
Later, Qianqian said: "Don't say that I didn't mention you." But the part that mentions you is the part where you help Zheng Youshan speak. ”
When Zhang Feng was training, a media reporter came to interview Zhang Feng and asked him what he thought about the performance of the national youth team in the U17 and U19. Zhang Feng replied: "First of all, I want to bless the U17, they have defeated the powerful Iran through their own efforts. It was a victory to remember. It was also a historic victory (the U17s had never won against Iran). Their performance did not disappoint the fans who followed them at home. As for Zheng Youshan's predecessors. I watched his game too. The performance is very good. It's a pity that today the goddess of fate gave all her divine power to U15 and U17, which made them never get the favor of the goddess. He didn't win, but I don't think the defeat can overshadow his performance. Moreover, it was very difficult for the national youth team to win against South Korea before. Up to now, the Asian Youth Championships have been held for dozens of sessions. China has only beaten South Korea three times. ”
In these three victories over the South Korean team, Zhang Feng himself contributed twice, while Zhou Haiyang contributed once. Zhang Feng will help Zheng Youshan speak, in addition to showing that the national youth team cares for each other. It is indeed because I think Zheng Youshan is very good.
I remember after the Youth Olympic Games. The two met for the first time in the training base. Zhang Feng saw that Zheng Youshan did not speak. He didn't have any opinions about Zheng Youshan. Rather, he felt that he had robbed him of his place at the Youth Olympic Games and overshadowed his performance. So I think Zheng Youshan may have any opinions about himself. It's hard to say hello to the other person yourself. Zheng Youshan may have some bad thoughts in his heart. So Zhang Feng planned to pretend not to see him. Unexpectedly, Zheng Youshan did take the initiative to say hello to Zhang Feng.
Then I chatted with Zhang Feng for a while. looked at Zheng Youshan's smile without any pretense. Zhang Feng himself felt very uncomfortable. The two have met a few times since then. Zheng Youshan will chat with Zhang Feng for a while. Even when we meet in the cafeteria, we eat together. Zhang Feng has not yet paid the bill. Although Zhang Feng does not need to ......
Zhang Feng became the captain of the team because of his strength. He's far better than anyone else in the team. As long as he joins any team. Without the manager's command, his teammates will automatically think that he is the captain. Because his abilities are indisputable. If you really want someone else to be the captain, Zhang Feng didn't say it himself. The other players won't be happy either. Even the person who became the captain himself would voluntarily refuse. And Zheng Youshan, he can become the captain, in addition to his personal ability, there is also his leadership temperament.
This is why Zhang Feng has won so many awards. There have been so many breakthroughs for China. But during the Youth Olympic Games, it was indeed Zheng Youshan who was still the captain, and Zhang Feng was not only not the captain but could only be his substitute. The manager may have a problem with his own ability. But he wasn't blind. It is impossible not to know the domestic evaluation of Zhang Feng. Even abroad, the nickname given to him by the media as captain of China speaks for itself. But he still let Zheng Youshan be the captain of the team. Apparently because he felt that Zheng Youshan had the ability to subdue the other members of the team. And the young Zhang Feng, although his strength is strong enough, may not be able to do this.
As for Zhou Haiyang, he can also be regarded as the average of the two. Very capable and has a certain temperament. At the same time, he also has an overwhelming and unbreakable character (Zhang Feng also has this kind of character. It's just that there are very few times when it can be reflected. Because the vast majority of the games were won in a way that seemed easy). But there was a time when Zhang Feng and Zheng Youshan were there. He had to stand aside. However, recently, Zhang Feng's status in the hearts of young fans has indeed begun to be a little worse than Zhou Haiyang. Of course, he is still the idol of all the players. But Zhou Haiyang is indeed their expectation. At the time of the twenty-three. Zhang Feng's performance overshadowed everyone. At that time, he was also a well-deserved protagonist in the hearts of all young players. But then, the protagonist gradually became Zhou Haiyang. It's not because Zhang Feng's performance is not good enough.
On the contrary, it is because Zhang Feng's performance is so good. So good that all the little players who adored him felt that they couldn't compare to him at all. Zhou Haiyang is different. His path can be replicated. Moreover, he also belongs to the civilian kind in the hearts of young players. To put it mildly, it is the degree to which I feel that I can do it if I work hard.
There are a number of young players who have started to replicate his path as well. Hopefully the same result as he did. To put it bluntly, Zhang Feng is like Brother Li or Feng Timo in the hearts of fans. Like is like, but if you want to marry them as a daughter-in-law, everyone knows that they don't have a chance. And Zhou Haiyang is like a colleague or friend who is a little beautiful around him. I feel that I can catch up with it as long as I work hard.
"It shows that they don't think there's anything surprising about my victory over Lebanon. Moreover, compared to Iran, although it is also a Central Asian team. But Lebanon is really not very strong. Now is the time for Iran to be in the limelight. In the previous World Cup, although their performance was average. But in the qualifiers, they didn't lose a single game in Asia. Joining the UK against China, you think that the other side won the football and deserved a lot of publicity at home. Or is winning table tennis worth the hype? ”
Qianqian pouted. "That's definitely winning table tennis. Which country can defeat China in the team competition of table tennis? The next day it was impossible for the sports newspapers to see anything else. As for football, it's only when you lose that it's going to be a big deal. ”
Zhang Feng nodded and replied, "Of course." If I had lost to Lebanon, the newspapers would have been all about me. ”
Qianqian actually knows it. It's like women's football. The only team reported in the women's team was the Under-15s because they lost today. Failed to qualify for the World Junior Championships. However, he and Zhang Feng were not mentioned much by the media. She was still very disappointed. Because she is different from Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng is mainly football-oriented. And she is mainly in the entertainment industry. She needs to memorize media reports.
Toss your phone aside. Qianqian rolled into Zhang Feng's arms. As the relationship between the two went further. Now she also loves the feeling of being held. It will give her a sense of security. Moreover, as long as Zhang Feng is there, she knows that she will not lose news in the entertainment industry. And, after two games. The focus of the media will definitely be on Zhang Feng. Because he has the potential to win the championship. The U17 boys don't have that opportunity. They played with Iran for one hundred and twenty minutes. Although this time there are two days to be used for retouching. But it was clearly not possible to regain much energy for the players. And their next opponent is Japan. Easily defeated Oman to reach the semi-finals of Japan. Japan is known as the best team in the world. They can't run normally, let alone when they don't have enough physical strength. In addition, several 16-year-olds have been added to the Japanese team. The reason why they joined was because they helped Japan win the Asian Youth Championship last year. And they beat the opponent in the final against the Chinese team with Zhang Feng. It's not your average Chinese team...... And, unfortunately, they have already won two consecutive victories against the Chinese team with Zhang Feng. There were also a few of them when they defeated China in the semi-finals three years ago. So, even though they weren't even seventeen. However, it is considered to be stronger than the average 17-year-old player in Japan. And they're doing really well.
At some point in every country, there will be several players who are significantly stronger than the previous ones. Known as the golden generation. It's just that the golden generation in most countries is of different ages. It's just that they participated in a certain tournament for their respective national teams together in the same year and won honors. Japan is a strange country. They often feature several players in the same year. No one can figure out why this is happening. And this group of players is another group of players whose strength is suddenly much stronger than the previous ones. And China is even stranger. Since the golf game, there has only been such a powerful player as Zhang Feng.
In addition to the reports about the Chinese team, the media will also report on some of the main opponents of the Chinese team. For example, the opponent of the next game of the U15. Don't look at the reports on the U15. But there are a lot of reports about the opponent for the next match. As many analysts have analyzed. South Korea lost in the semifinals against Saudi Arabia.
The South Korean team is still slightly stronger than Saudi Arabia. In the first half, it was also the South Korean team that scored the first goal to take the lead. However, in order to compete for a place in the World Junior Championships. The Saudi U15 national youth team also broke out in full force. The whole game was running like crazy. The Korean team is also very good at running. It's just that the weather here is not suitable for them. Although it is by the sea. But it's still hot and dry. The young players of the South Korean team are constantly hydrating. But more than 50 minutes into the game, it was still obvious that he couldn't run.
And was moved back by Saudi Arabia towards the end of the game. Overtime. The young players of the South Korean team couldn't run at all on the field. And they were also beaten twice by the Saudi pair in extra time. In the end, they were eliminated by a score of 3 to 1.
Zhang Feng once led the Chinese team against the Saudi team. It was at the Asian Youth Championships in Japan three years ago. It was also the first Asian Youth Championship in which Zhang Feng participated. In that game. Zhang Feng made a pass. Lead the Chinese team to victory over the opponent.
Therefore, domestic comments are also unanimously optimistic about the Chinese team winning. In fact, it's not just the domestic media. Even the Saudi media actually think that in the end, it will be the Chinese team that wins. Because Zhang Feng's attack is insoluble for Asian countries. If you want to win, you can only knock through the defense of the Chinese team through attack. It takes more goals than Zhang Feng to score. And it's not an easy thing to do.
For the next two days, nothing major happened on the Kuwaiti side. Zhang Feng and Qianqian recorded a seven-day tour of Kuwait between training. Zhang Feng occasionally studies the tactics of the Saudi team and the relevant situation of each player. During this period, he also met with Prince Jaber again. And again head to Prince Jaber's mansion for a meal. By the way, I also received a bottle of wine as a gift.
Nothing is going on on Kuwait's side. There has been a major event in China that has an impact on both Zhang Feng and Qianqian. With the arrival of April. The professional leagues at all levels in the country also start a new season. With the start of a new season. The winter transfer will also come to an end. If the club wants to trade players, they will have to wait for the summer transfer in June.
With the continuous efforts of Zhao Qiling and Sister Chen. Finally, a team in the first division negotiated the details of the deal with the two at the last minute. Zhang Feng got the news with Qianqian on the last night of March. In fact, one of the four A-C teams is in contact with Zhang Feng. Because his performance is still very convincing. The reason why it has not been possible to negotiate. First, it is related to Qianqian. The second is related to Shanghai seafood. Zhang Feng signed a contract with Shanghai Haiwu for liquidated damages. In other words, Zhang Feng can directly take the money and leave. But he got along very well with the Shanghai seafood management and team members. Naturally, I am not willing to just compensate for liquidated damages and leave.
So, the table asks for a player trade transfer. That is, another club needs to pay for Zhang Feng. What's the problem? It was after they bought Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng is still acting on the player contract he signed with Shanghai Haiwu before. There is only one year left on the contract, and the next day is the player option not to mention. And the liquidated damages are still only one million. In other words, Zhang Feng can decide whether to renew the contract for the second year. If Zhang Feng chooses not to renew the contract. The club is equivalent to buying Zhang Feng for only one year.
At the same time, Zhang Feng wants to leave halfway. Then it is enough for him to pay only one million. And how much does it cost him to ask the other club to buy him? It's five million. If you just bought Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng turned around and left. The club will lose four million directly. So the contract looks like a fraudulent contract.
But Zhang Feng is the captain of China after all. His credibility is somewhat secured. No one believed that Zhang Feng would do something fraudulent. So this is a trivial matter. It's just a bargaining chip that the other party uses to lower the price. What is really difficult to negotiate is actually Zhang Qianqian's problem. There are four A-C teams that have come into contact with Zhang Feng. It's not that these four teams are interested in Zhang Feng. Rather, the men's and women's clubs of these four teams are in the First League. can sign Zhang Feng and Zhang Qianqian at the same time. Otherwise, even if the club is sincere. Sister Chen and Zhao Qiling also passed them directly.
The league level is too low, and Sister Chen will not agree to Qianqian's going. And the league level is too high. It is impossible for the other party to arrange Qianqian in order to achieve results in the men's football team. Just these four clubs are just right. If it's just one more goalkeeper. They were all willing. In particular, Zhang Qianqian is also a well-known big star in China. Being able to recruit Zhang Qianqian can also allow them to get more attention. What is the Corporate Investment Club for? Of course, it's just for advertising. With such a good Kanban girl, any company and club are willing to ask for it. But if you want to. But it didn't look like she was on the stage. All four clubs started out in unison.
The benefits are the same as those of all the main players. and paid Zhang Qianqian 300,000 yuan every month. This salary is also quite high for AC. But! Zhang Qianqian was unable to get the opportunity to participate in the competition. That is, she has a higher salary and money than the main player. You don't have to play yet. However, this is indeed not what Zhang Qianqian and Sister Chen wanted.
They need to be able to play in the league. This is also the main reason why the two sides have not been able to reach an agreement. Zhang Qianqian hopes to be able to participate in at least half of the club's competitions in a year. For this, she can reduce her salary to two million. Even as long as the welfare of rotating players. After all, Zhang Qianqian herself is not short of money. But all four clubs disagreed. They would rather give a little more money. They also don't want to put the club in danger of relegation. As a result, Zhang Feng and Zhang Qianqian have been deadlocked here with the club.
Finally, on the last day of the transfer deadline. Sanya Vision negotiated with Sister Chen on the contract issue related to Zhang Qianqian. Originally, Sanya Vision finally decided to give up Zhang Feng and Qianqian. However, Zhang Feng did come up with an idea. Finally persuaded Sanya Vision.
Zhang Feng's idea was to adopt a losing rotation system. The two goalkeepers take turns playing. Whoever concedes five goals in a match. Whoever goes to the bench will be played. and started by another goalkeeper. Even so, the other three teams were reluctant to accept this condition. They all hoped that Zhang Qianqian would be able to relent. Even willing to pay a little extra at the extra cost. and guaranteed that she would have the opportunity to participate in variety shows on local TV stations.
Sanya Vision agrees. It's because their goalkeeper is very old, and it's time to retire and develop new talents for the team by the way. So, they are willing to accept the rotation system. It's not Zhang Qianqian and the goal rotation who is going to retire. It's a rotation of newcomers that she really plans to cultivate with Sanya Vision. They know very well that Zhang Feng is also good. Qianqian is good. It's impossible to play for too long in Sanya Vision. And the goalkeeper position must be really long. Usually a goalkeeper is in the absence of accidents. Basically, you will only serve in one team for the rest of your life. Because the team usually won't let people go. Developing a goalkeeper is not an easy task. This is also the fundamental reason why Qianqian asked for the number of games and the other three clubs did not agree. They don't use their own team's results to develop goalkeepers who are destined to go to other teams in the future.
Qianqian's problem solving. The problem on Zhang Feng's side was better solved. Sanya Vision spent 5 million to buy Zhang Feng's contract, and then directly invalidated the contract. And signed a new contract with Zhang Feng. The content of the contract is unchanged from the previous contract with Shanghai Haiwu. It is still a one-year must-fulfillment, a one-year transfer and a two-year player option. It's just that Zhang Feng's monthly salary reaches 400,000. Compare B with a fourfold increase in Shanghai Haiwu. At the same time, various rewards are also increased several times. So, all players want to get into the higher leagues. It's because the higher the league level, the more money you can make.
Zhang Feng and Qianqian were still competing in Kuwait at this time. Therefore, the contract is signed by the broker. Zhang Feng and Qianqian will go back to sign a contract. Sanya Vision also reported the names of Zhang Feng and Zhang Qianqian to the Football Association on the last day of the transaction.
Solve the club's problems. Both also put their full energy into the Circle. On April 1, the semi-finals will be in full swing. The Chinese team faced Saudi Arabia. Because the consumption was too great in the previous game against the Korean team. So Saudi Arabia has a massive rotation of players. But even so, the physical strength of these players is not as abundant as the Chinese team. The Chinese team has been using the method of player rotation in the game. Moreover, none of the teams encountered were strong. There were no tough battles. As a result, player fatigue is relatively low.
The fatigue of the Saudi players is not high for the rest of the Chinese team. Actually, it's not much different. For Zhang Feng only, the difference is relatively large. Because fatigue can deform the body's movements. The ability will also become less than the total victory period.
Zhang Feng's physical strength is also not bad. So in the face of Saudi Arabia, he also ran. The strength that is already stronger than the other party. is amplified more at this point. The ninth minute of the opening period. Zhang Feng broke through the layers of the Saudi Arabian team to open the scoring for the Chinese team.
The Saudi team then launched an offensive against the Chinese team. Zhang Feng let the players defend with peace of mind. Don't run blindly with the Saudi players. After all, the Chinese team is currently one goal ahead. So don't worry too much about defense. Not only is it easy to make mistakes. It is also easy to consume physical strength. Seventeenth minute. Zhang Feng received a pass from his teammates and went to the Saudi team again. The Saudi defender, who was in an anti-offside position, did not even have a chance to catch up with the foul. Wait until you can foul Zhang Feng from the position. Zhang Feng has already finished shooting.
Later in the first half, Zhang Feng launched several more attacks. But nothing came of it. The Saudi team broke through the Chinese team's goal at the end of the first half. Draw the score to two-to-one. However, it was also the only goal of the whole game for the Saudi team. The game came to the second half. Zhang Feng used a free kick to rewrite the score to 3-1 at the beginning. Fifty-fifth minute of the second half. Zhang Feng shook off the members of the opponent's defense line and formed a single knife with the goalkeeper. A shot that didn't drag the mud and water finally fixed the score at 4-1. The Chinese team also advanced to the finals with Zhang Feng's senior happiness.
The other semi-final will be played against Iran and Japan. As Zhang Feng thought, Australia wasted too much energy in the first round against West Asian teams. As a result, they were unable to defeat Japan in the second round of the knockout round. was run to death by the Japanese team. Even after the game. Three other Australian players were rushed to hospital for treatment. Fortunately, the Chinese team won the first place in the group stage. Otherwise, Australia's situation would have to happen to the Chinese team.
However, this is the end of the Japanese team. They are very capable of running. But the climate in West Asia is not something that can be sustained by perseverance alone. Otherwise, Australia would not have had three players to the point of being sent to hospital.
The match between Australia and Japan won though. But also the consumption is huge, in the match with Iran. The rotation of players is fine. Several players who couldn't be rotated couldn't play at all. Both offensively and defensively are terrible. In the end, they were sent by Iran with a score of 3-0 to compete for the third and fourth places. Zhang Feng estimated that Japan should only be able to achieve a fourth result this time......
