However, Li Chengfeng's business in China is not going well, and it is not easy for him and Wen Shuting, two novices, to grab food in the closed circle of domestic football. This is not just a business problem, the cake of Chinese football is so big, there are a lot of people staring at it, no one welcomes these two outsiders who have no foundation, Wen Shuting has complained several times, and they have all been appeased by Li Chengfeng. Not to mention Wen Shuting, even Li Chengfeng himself sometimes doubts his choice, should he start other businesses first?

Of course, that's all for later, and now, he needs to put more energy into the CM world to earn points to stay alive. It's August 1, 2006 in the CM world, he only has 71 days left, the hardships of last season's Premier League have reduced his gains too much, and if he still can't get more points this season, he may have to speed up his progress in the CM world to survive, if there is no other way.

Sheffield Wednesday's first official match of the new season is a Champions League qualifier against Croatia's Dinamo Zagreb, Modric's old club, and I have to say that sometimes fate is really inexplicable.

The first leg was played at Dinamo Zagreb's home stadium, and they wanted to win against the Sheffield Wednesday side, so they took the initiative at home, and Sheffield Wednesday were happy to fight back. With fast horses like Ribery and Lennon up front, as well as goal machines like Toney, and the betrayal of 'traitor' Modric, Sheffield Wednesday beat Dinamo Zagreb 3:0 cleanly, ending the suspense of promotion early. Luka Toney, who made his first appearance for Sheffield Wednesday, scored two goals and performed very well, and last season's European Golden Boot worked well.

In the second leg, Sheffield Wednesday still won with a score of 2:1 and successfully entered the main stage of the Champions League, where they were in a group with Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and Sporting Lisbon. All three teams are giants in their respective leagues, and Sheffield Wednesday's placement in this group of death is a difficult one, and there is little hope left. But Li Chengfeng still wants to struggle, at least not at the bottom, so that Li Chengfeng still has the Europa League to play, so as not to lose too many points.

After passing the Champions League qualifying rounds, Sheffield Wednesday also got off to a fantastic start to the league with a 4-0 win at home to Blackburn Rovers in their first game, with Toney scoring twice to give Sheffield Wednesday a spark off to a successful start to the league. Blake is not a weak team, they finished 6th in the Premier League last season and qualified for the Europa League, and Sheffield Wednesday can get such a victory is indeed commendable, and it also shows the success of Lee Seungfeng's recruitment this season, Sheffield Wednesday has become stronger.

In the second round, Sheffield Wednesday played 0:0 away with Manchester City, which made Li Chengfeng a little regretful, Sheffield Wednesday dominated the whole game, but he just failed to score a goal, and could only regretfully shake hands with Manchester City. However, three days later, the UEFA Super Cup match surprised everyone, and Sheffield Wednesday unexpectedly beat last season's Champions Cup winners Barcelona 3-0.

Li Chengfeng definitely did not expect such a result, and various predictions before the game were also one-sided optimistic that Barcelona could beat Sheffield Wednesday to win the Super Cup, but Sheffield Wednesday beat Barcelona to the point of no temper in this game.

The match was played at Monaco's Louis II Stadium on 26 August, and for this match, Sheffield Wednesday's league game away to Middlesbrough was postponed to 29 August.

Barcelona actually took this game seriously, and they fielded the main squad from last season, except that at left-back, Brazilian Silviglio started in place of Netherlands international Van Bronckhorst, while Sheffield Wednesday also fielded their strongest squad.

Lee Seungfeng knew that Sheffield Wednesday had little hope of winning this trophy, but he would not admit defeat at the beginning, and he formulated a strategy to start the attack, and Barcelona was obviously unprepared for this, they also thought that Sheffield Wednesday would only defend passively, and they made frequent mistakes at the beginning and could not enter the state.

Sheffield Wednesday launched an attack early on, with Luka Modric passing the ball to Toney, who fired straight at goal from an offside position, and Barcelona goalkeeper Valdés was careful to save the ball. In the 4th minute, Guarin took a set-piece, Kompany forced Marcos' header to the goal, which was obtained by Valdés, and in the 6th minute, Toney had another wonderful shot, but unfortunately it was saved by Valdés again.

As the game entered the seventh minute, Sheffield Wednesday finally found the back of the net for Barcelona, Toure broke the ball and fought back quickly to distribute the ball to Toney, Toney's first shot was saved by Valdés, but Toure followed up with a follow-up shot. Sheffield Wednesday took a 1-0 lead, and Lee's pre-match strategy to get off to a winning start paid off.

Sheffield Wednesday then went from strength to strength, and Barcelona's players looked out of shape until the 14th minute, when Ronaldinho had a chance to perform, sending a through ball down the right flank, but Francis was once again the first to break the ball.

In the 20th minute of the game, Barcelona had the first chance of the game, Ronaldo pushed the ball directly into the far corner of the goal, returned to the penalty area to help defend the header Toney and goalkeeper Abondancheri collided, but the ball was finally cleared by Antonini to defuse the danger.

In the 28th minute, Lescott crossed from the left and Tony missed the ball from 12 yards in front of goal. Compared to Sheffield Wednesday's momentum, last season's Champions League winners looked unorganized, and Samuel Eto'o and Ronaldo seemed to be helpless in the face of Sheffield Wednesday's ferocious defence, and instead were taken advantage of by their opponents to take advantage of the next goal. In the 45th minute, Valdés did not hit the corner kick away, Ribery headed the ferry, Tony leaned back 8 meters in front of the goal and headed it into the empty goal, 2-0, Sheffield Wednesday extended the lead, but Tony didn't seem to stand firm when he fell, and his feet twisted, but fortunately, the first half of the game was coming to an end, and Li Chengfeng had plenty of time to make adjustments.

Toney's injury is not serious and he will be fine with a few days of rest, but he will not be able to play again in this game. At the beginning of the second half, Lee Seung-peak sent Bent to replace the injured Toney, as Sheffield Wednesday's top scorer last season, although the tactical role is not the same as Tony's, but the ability to score goals alone is not much different, and the speed is extremely fast, the goal sense is sensitive, and the counterattack is also very threatening.

In the 47th minute, Ribery broke through and was brought down by Silvinho, who received a yellow card, and two minutes later, Bent also requested a yellow card for a foul on Puyol. Barcelona couldn't change the passive situation on the field for a long time, they began to be impetuous, and the anger gradually grew, and Sheffield Wednesday under Li Chengfeng never knew what fear was, and responded without showing weakness, the gunpowder smell of the game began to strengthen, Ribery clashed with Silvinho who defended him several times, and in the 53rd minute, Francis also received a yellow card for bringing down Ronaldo.

Barcelona couldn't get on the offensive for a long time, and Rijkaard began to make adjustments. In the 56th minute, Andres Iniesta and Gudjohnsen came on in place of Xavi and Motta. Gudjohnsen had a chance shortly after coming on but he couldn't stop the ball and it was disallowed by Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Abondan Sheri. After that, Barcelona gave up defending and attacked with all their might, and in the face of such Barcelona, Sheffield Wednesday had to rely on fouls to stop the opponent's attack, and in the 58th minute, Ribery also received a yellow card.

In the 61st minute, Gudjohnsen found a good chance to open the scoring, but Abondan Sheri made a brilliant save. In the 65th minute, Toure almost scored a brace when Lennon broke through and crossed, Toure's shot bounced off Puyol's face, leaving the Barcelona captain lying on the pitch for a while. Two minutes later, Barcelona were still in color, and Iniesta's shot grazed the crossbar.

Barcelona almost opened the scoring in the 70th minute, but Abondan Sheri saved Sheffield Wednesday again with an incredible save to keep away youngster Lionel Messi's shot. At this time, Messi is still just a newcomer, but his talent has been undoubtedly revealed, which makes Li Chengfeng salivate, I don't know if he has the opportunity to coach such an emperor superstar? Li Chengfeng began to reverie.

In the 71st minute, Barcelona made another substitution to strengthen the attack, Giuli replaced Silvinho, Sheffield Wednesday also made a change, Biglia replaced Ribery with a yellow card, and strengthened the defense. In the 77th minute, goalkeeper Abondan Seri received a yellow card for deliberately delaying time.

In the face of Sheffield Wednesday's all-out defence and various tricks, the unbalanced Barcelona were unable to change the scoreline, and in the 78th minute, Samuel Eto'o tried to shoot from distance, but it went over the crossbar.

Seeing that time was running out, Lee Seung-peak replaced Lennon with Spector again, intending to carry out the defense to the end.

Barca were getting more and more impatient, but instead gave Sheffield Wednesday the chance to fight back. In the 90th minute, Bent was brought down in the box by Puyol, and Guarin beat Valdés on penalties to win the first Super Cup in the club's history with a 3-0 win over Barcelona on Sheffield Wednesday.

Sheffield Wednesday, who won the Super Cup, returned to the league smoothly, winning three in a row, and accumulating 13 points from four wins and one draw in the first five rounds, leaving Sheffield Wednesday one point ahead of Chelsea and Manchester United who have lost one game each. If it weren't for the opposition goalkeeper explosion in the second round away to Manchester City, Sheffield Wednesday could have won five in a row.

But that's the way football is, there are always all sorts of surprises, otherwise Sheffield Wednesday wouldn't have won the Double last season, and this season would not have beaten last season's Champions League winners Barcelona by three goals in the UEFA Super Cup.

Sheffield Wednesday's lead in the Premier League also ended here, because of the Champions League group stage, Sheffield Wednesday had reservations and drew two consecutive league games, but in exchange for a 2-1 home win over Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League. At present, the Champions League is second with three points from the two rounds of group stage, while Italian champion Inter Milan is at the bottom of the table after two consecutive defeats.
