Chapter 65: The End of the Season

The game restarted, and the morale of the Evergrande team reached its peak, and in the cheers of the Yokohama International Multi-Stadium, nine tenacious Evergrande members rushed towards every Barcelona player who took the ball.

Evergrande players at this moment they went crazy, they frantically pounced for a steal, except for the goalkeeper, all the Evergrande players on the field launched a fierce steal on the ball carrier of Barcelona, at this time they no longer care about their position on the field.

You deserve to lose, but a draw will win all the praise of world football!

One more goal, that's Evergrande's only goal now!

In the last 10 minutes, Evergrande dedicated the most exciting ten minutes of this Club World Cup, they contributed 2 corners and 3 shots on goal, and formed an offensive momentum with Barcelona.

For two or three minutes, Evergrande even suppressed Barcelona on the field!

But in the final moments of the game, amid the cheers from the sky, Barcelona still kept this hard-won and completely unexpected narrow victory in their hands.

After all, Evergrande's strength is still a little worse, and the disadvantage of playing one less person also makes them breathe their last breath.

"Whew! That's the end of it! Dai Zhiwei let out a long sigh, without much regret, just a trace of unwillingness.

At this moment, he suddenly heard an English sentence coming from behind him, "Hey, can you change your jersey?" ”

Dai Zhiwei's English was not bad, and he hurriedly turned his head and saw that it was Suarez who was talking to him.

Before, he didn't expect Suarez to take the initiative to exchange jerseys with him after the game.

"You're conquering the Barcelona players, right?" Dai Zhiwei thought to himself.

"Of course!" Dai Zhiwei hurriedly took off his jersey and handed it to Suarez, and also took the Barcelona No. 9 jersey in the opponent's hand.

"You've done a great job and caused us a lot of trouble!" Suarez gave a thumbs up, "I'm sure I'll see you on the European stage soon!" ”

"Thank you, I'll do my best!" Dai Zhiwei showed the habitual modesty of the Chinese people, but the next sentence was not, "Next time, I won't lose to you again!" ”

Suarez raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Really? I'm looking forward to it! ”

Although Evergrande still lost to the mighty Barcelona in the end, the loss was expected, but it was unexpected to be able to force Barcelona to the last minute.

The score of 2:3 made Evergrande unanimously appreciated by the outside world, and Dai Zhiwei was described by the media as an Asian star comparable to Barcelona's strikers!

In addition to the various praises given by major sports media, the official also gave affirmation.

The official AFC published an article praising Guangzhou Evergrande as the pride of Asia, "Good job, Guangzhou Evergrande!" You are the pride of Asia. ”

As the first media in China, the National Daily also wrote on its official Weibo: "Dai Zhiwei, the new Asian footballer, shines in the Barcelona penalty area, and this year's Club World Cup Evergrande has improved significantly. Cheers for Chinese football! ”

In the subsequent competition for the third and fourth place finals of the Club World Cup, Evergrande faced the host country's representative Sanfrecce Hiroshima. Just three minutes into the game, Paulinho scored a lightning goal, and then Dai Zhiwei added the icing on the cake to extend the lead.

As soon as the second half began, Sanfrecce Hiroshima's substitute striker Douglas equalized with two headers.

However, the ensuing time became Dai Zhiwei's performance time, and after the defeat to Barcelona, he vented his frustration on the host team, scoring two more goals with an overhead kick. While completing his own hat-trick, he also fixed the final score of the game at 4:2!

Evergrande finally lost 4:2 to Sanfrecce Hiroshima and won the third place in the 2015 Club World Cup, realizing another surpass by the Chinese team.

The end of this game means the end of this season for Dai Zhiwei and the whole Evergrande team. Dai Zhiwei's debut season ended in such a near-perfect way!

As for where Dai Zhiwei will go next season, everything is unknown at present.

……

Regarding the transfer, Dai Zhiwei naturally has this idea, and the goal is very clear, that is, the four major leagues in Europe - the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga.

In addition to the reason that it is his dream to play in the four major European leagues, Dai Zhiwei knows that only by playing in the four major European leagues at a higher level can he better improve himself.

He is very aware of his current level, although the Chinese football media praise him as rare in the sky, not on the ground, but in the "football player system" striker ranking, he is not even ranked in the top 40 strikers in world football today.

Winning this season's Super League Golden Boot and Champions League Golden Boot doesn't mean anything, Wu Lei also won the Super League Golden Boot in later generations, and even occupied the first place in the Chinese Super League total goal list for a long time, but what honor is that?

How can you stop and be satisfied?

Dai Zhiwei is only 21 years old now, and it is the best period for a player to grow rapidly, in addition to the skills and skills experience that the "football player system" can give him, he also wants to make great progress through the experience of playing in the real world, and finally achieve unprecedented success among Chinese football players.

And these experiences are not something that Evergrande can give him.

Just like Feng Xiaoting, who is the absolute core of Evergrande and the national team, he was much better than most young central defenders of the same age in the world at the beginning of the period: in 2003, at the age of 18, he became a member of the Chinese national team, and he was also the first three-dimensional player in the national football team, the national Olympic team and the national youth. In 2005, he went to the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands as the captain, reached the round of 16 with the team, and was named "Top Ten Rising Stars of the World Youth Championship" with Messi with his outstanding performance.

But Feng Xiaoting, who has been playing in the Chinese Super League and South Korea's K League, ended up being obscure, not to mention standing shoulder to shoulder with Messi, even in Asia, he is no longer a top central defender.

However, what would have happened if Feng Xiaoting had gone to play in a European club after the World Youth Championships that year?

The experience of playing in the Europa League is very helpful for young players in many aspects such as technique, experience, psychology and so on.

Although there are many talented players who have become famous at a young age and have been hit downhill after joining the football clubs of the top European leagues, such as Dong Fangzhuo and Zhang Yuning, who have not been able to play for a long time, but if they do not experience the baptism of the top European leagues, talented players will only become excellent players, and there will always be an irreparable gap from superstars.

Moreover, under the major impact of experiencing rebirth, Dai Zhiwei does not believe that there is anything else in football that can defeat him. Moreover, there is also a trump card, that is, the "football player system".

Dai Zhiwei had never considered joining Europe's top leagues before, but because his level might not be able to adapt to it, and sitting on the bench for a long time would undoubtedly dampen his enthusiasm and love for football.

However, the current Dai Zhiwei has a total rating of 86.5 points, and the attack has reached an excellent level, and after scoring two goals against Barcelona, he realized that even if he can't sit in the main position of Europe's giants, it should not be difficult to get a starting team in the middle of Europe's four major leagues.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Dai Zhiwei acquiesced to the rumors that he was eager to join a top European league club, and asked his agent Jin Chang to start frequent contact with the staff of the four major European league clubs to make all preparations for his joining.

The reason why Dai Zhiwei has the confidence to let Jinchang not shy away from Evergrande to contact the clubs of the four major European leagues is that in addition to the strength he has shown, the biggest confidence comes from his contract.

At present, Dai Zhiwei's contract with Evergrande is only 3 years, and the liquidated damages are only 80 million yuan, which is less than 11.3 million euros in euros.

This means that as long as any club escapes 80 million yuan, there is no need to negotiate with Evergrande at all, and Dai Zhiwei can be taken away in the form of liquidated damages.

At this price, the 21-year-old Asian Footballer of the Year, who has scored two goals in a single game against Barcelona, and is also a new Chinese Super League and AFC Champions League Golden Boot player, is an extremely good deal for most of Europe's big four league clubs.

However, the winter transfer is only a knock on for most clubs, and there are not many teams that can spend 1,130 euros to bring in strikers.

Therefore, which team's jersey will be worn in the new season, even Dai Zhiwei himself is currently taking one step at a time, and there is no clear goal yet.

At this time, Dai Zhiwei did not reach the kind of status that as soon as he announced that he wanted to transfer, countless clubs in Europe's top leagues flocked to him.

The time is approaching day by day before the winter transfer window of Europe's top major leagues opens.
