Chapter 369: The Chinese team challenges Barcelona!
Reich Chancellery, Germany held a grand celebration.
The Führer still appeared on the podium in high spirits, accompanied by his low, but subdued and bumpy voice, and in the audience were the German athletes who had made a "great contribution" to him:
Victory belongs to Berlin, victory, belongs to Germany.
By 1940, the Olympics will be held in Tokyo, and by that day we're going to send thousands of German spectators and sports fans to you with our airships, as you saw at the opening ceremony, and then —
Naturally, the athletes in the audience were thrilled and proud to be Germans.
With the warmest applause and the cheers of "Long live Hitler", they paid their highest respect to the leaders on the stage.
The triumphant Führer, undoubtedly at the pinnacle of his life's passion, smiled, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and continued:
"Then, from 1944 onwards, the Olympics will be held in Berlin forever."
At that time, Berlin was the capital of the planet.
The athletes were stunned at first, and then a rush of blood poured out of their hearts, and the Reich Chancellery resounded with the excited shouts of the crowd and the slogan "Long live......
……
Lu Zhuhu failed to see this scene that was more in line with the "Führer" in his mind.
After returning to the team, everyone seemed to have agreed, no one mentioned his penalty that day, although Lu Zhuhu was still grateful, but the person who made the mistake always had the urge to break with others, and wanted to express apologies or something. But about the final that day, or the experience of being attacked before the game, everyone never mentioned it again, this page turned directly, and all the good things were left in the first fifteen days of the Olympic Games!
Compared to other sports, the football team still has unfinished tasks, that is, there are teams to play in Europe, and teams to invite the Chinese team to play, plus......
Earn the travel expenses of the delegation back to their home country.
The first target is Barcelona, which was delayed before the Olympics.
After a week of recuperation, the players with minor injuries have largely recovered and are ready to play. As for Li Huitang, who was strained, and Dai Linjing, who suffered a back injury in the final, he had to wait two more days.
The Chinese team traveled to Spain via France.
All the players were a little sad when they left Berlin, and the capital of the Third Reich gave them many memories, but they didn't know if there would be a chance to revisit the old places in the future.
Except for the vice-captain Xu Yahui, who plans to stay in Germany to learn electrical knowledge in the future.
Previously, when fighting against the Paris Red Star, there was also a club in France that invited the Chinese team to play, and Le Havre Athletic, which ranked 16th in the French second division last season, is not a very strong team in the future or now.
Li Huitang did not travel with the team because of diarrhea the night before, and he flew to Sweden to deal with the affairs of his company, and then joined the Chinese team in Barcelona.
On August 23, the Chinese team played against Le Havre Athletic in Le Havre, and the main frame was the lineup of the final - only Li Huitang and Dai Linjing were missing, plus two students, and the other players continued to sit in the stands to observe.
To be honest, the remnants of the final are indeed not a balanced lineup, not to mention the lack of arrows and weak attacks, the Chinese team that lost its backbone played like a plate of scattered sand, and the home team also beat China a 6-0 mercilessly.
Lu Zhuhu originally planned to come on as a substitute in the second half to play for about 30 minutes, but he didn't appear when he saw that the general trend was gone. Zhou Xianyan was in charge of goalkeeping and did not have the magical performance against Italy in the final - although four goals were scored in that game, Zhou Xianyan frankly did his best.
The match against Le Havre Athletic was also the worst time and space for the Chinese team's technical and tactical level, and unlike the two teams that lost to Austria, this time it was not a difference in strength.
Moreover, the current Chinese team is the Olympic final team, and the local audience was surprised by the result, but the Chinese team had the experience of drawing with the Paris Red Star before, and it was not inferior to the team in the French second division, so they explained that the Chinese team was waterproof.
Flowers and applause were used to send off the disgraced Chinese team.
On the 25th, the Chinese team arrived in Barcelona, and the atmosphere in Spain at this time was completely different from the last time Lu Zhuhu came-
The civil war has broken out.
On July 17, several generals led by Mora issued a manifesto calling for the restoration of order in the country against the rebel North African rebels, and the Spanish Civil War officially began. The forces led by General Fernández fought with the Federation of Catalonia for Barcelona, shooting everywhere, and from morning to night, people ran back and forth in the city with pistols and rifles, and finally the republicans took the city.
After the occupation, they arrested and shot more people.
In this extremely difficult situation, FC Barcelona did not shut down, and the management of the club decided to put the transfer of players on hold while maintaining the normal activities of the club as much as possible.
The Chinese team was a little worried about the situation in Spain, but after the Olympics, the Chinese team was invited by Paulino Alcantara again and promised to guarantee the personal safety of the Chinese team players and the "appearance fee" -
Everyone is so face-giving, why are they embarrassed to delay and not come?
But when they came to Barcelona, the players were still amazed by the sincerity of the Barcelona club!
The club came up, and even the chairman brought the coaches and players, and many people came to welcome the arrival of the Chinese team!
And, of course, that includes their Asian hometown, Alcantara.
"We meet again, young man."
"It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Alcantara." Lu Zhuhu greeted the smiling Barcelona Shooter King.
Alcantara looked around and saw Zhou Xianyan in the crowd, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"It's about to be ...... I haven't seen you in ten years, have you? Alcantara calculated: "The lad who doesn't let people score." ”
"Nine years!" Zhou Xianyan laughed with him, and then said: "As you can see, I am also 'passing away' now!" ”
"Time flies, it's fast."
For a big club like Barcelona, everyone was sincerely afraid, and Alcantara sighed: "Thank you Brother Lu for saving the life of Mr. President!" ”
Barcelona's president, Sonor, came over to shake Lu Zhuhu's hand and thanked him in person. The 38-year-old has only been in office for a year as president of Barcelona and is a promising leader.
Everyone was very strange and didn't know how Lu Zhuhu "saved people's lives".
It turned out that in August and August, Sonol traveled to Madrid via Valencia - the itinerary had nothing to do with Barcelona or football, but to meet with the consensus republicans, and to visit the volunteers of the Catalan column who participated in the defense of Madrid.
Historically, on August 5, Sonore and his entourage arrived in Madrid, the military lent him a car, and assigned a driver, to go to the Guadalama mountains, which have become a battlefield, where the war is stalemate, a mountain captured by the republicans today, a stronghold, may be recovered by the nationalists tomorrow, so it is difficult to figure out which side a certain place belongs to at a certain time, and the same is true for Sonor's driver, so the car with the Catalan flag entered the mountains and unfortunately drove into the area controlled by the national army. The Falangists captured Sonoel and his party, and without trial, Sonore and his companions were shot dead on the spot. It was a huge blow to FC Barcelona, who did not have a decent result for a long time.
Lu Zhuhu didn't know exactly what happened, he just heard that a Barcelona president was killed on the way to Madrid during the civil war. When he came to Barcelona in early July, he kindly reminded Alcantara. Sonoel didn't pay much attention to it at first, but in the end, he had an extra heart, and instead of using a military driver, he hired a local civilian as a guide, and did not fly a flag that revealed his identity, and finally survived -
He also learned afterwards that there was an area controlled by the national army, and if it were not for the Chinese to remind him first, it would indeed be more than auspicious, so how could he not be grateful after he returned safely?
In the past, there were rumors that "Franco secretly arrested and ordered the shooting of Barcelona President Sonor, thereby supporting Real Madrid", provoking the contradictions of Real Madrid, Lu Zhuhu now sees that he naturally knows that this is not the case, and before Franco ruled Spain, Sonore has been killed, at this time the civil war has just begun, and Franco is just a general who has not yet sat on the top spot.
Franco was able to catch up and rule Spain for decades, mainly thanks to the support of the Führer, who requested all German aid to be provided to Franco.
Of course, Real Madrid received the most support during Franco's reign, thus creating infinite brilliance, and it is also true that Barcelona has more than one position. In a sense, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern...... These super-giants are really inseparable from the Führer, who is everywhere......
There are several players in the Chinese team who participated in the game with the Philippines, such as Chen Zhen and Alcantara still have an impression, but they didn't see Li Huitang, and after asking, they knew that they were in Sweden now and would come to meet before the game.
"I'm the head of the club again now, and Barcelona still need me in an eventful situation-" Alcantara smiled at Lu Zhuhu: "If the future is stable, I still hope that any of you will choose to come to Barcelona." ”
Lu Zhuhu responded with a smile: "I hope so." ”
The city was not peaceful, so the players did not visit the city, watched the stadium and training base of Barcelona together, and listened to the history of the club -
Naturally, the glorious years of Alcantara are indispensable.
The players of the Chinese team did not expect that the Filipino who had met before would have such an influence in the big European club, and they were all full of emotion.
……
On the 26th, Li Huitang came from Sweden to meet the team, and all the members were assembled, and on the 27th, the Chinese team played Barcelona at the main stadium of Barcelona, and the starting lineup was:
Goalkeeper: Zhou Xianyan
Defenders: Mak Shaohan, Tan Jiangbai
Midfielders: Leung Wing-chiu, Wong Mei Shun, Chen Zhenhe
Forwards: Lu Zhuhu, Zhang Xianyuan, Sun Jinshun, Feng Jingxiang, Zheng Jiliang
Li Huitang and Chen Zhenhe have been able to return from injury, which is the biggest good news, and Li Huitang did not start for the sake of insurance. Zhou Xianyan was also asked by Alcantara to be the goalkeeper, but he did not start himself - after all, he is 40 years old.
Barcelona had more than 8,000 members at the time, and the match was attended by more than 5,000 spectators, as rumours were made of rumours that the club's legend might be back in action.
The game is in full swing in Golden Cairo!
Just 1 minute into the game, Lu Zhuhu sent a low flat ball to the penalty area on the right side, Zhang Xianyuan failed to play a good shovel shot in front of the goal, and the ball was firmly held by the Barcelona goalkeeper.
5 minutes later, it was Lu Zhuhu who sent a long pass to the penalty area on the right side, and Feng Jingxiang at the front point shook his head to attack the goal and almost scored the ball, but the ball was slightly out of the goal and out of the bottom line.
In the 12th minute, the midfielder made the ball, and the left inner striker made a slight adjustment after winning the ball in front of the big penalty area, and a long-range shot popped up on the crossbar of the goal!
Barcelona missed a great chance to score!
The morale of the audience was boosted and the shouts were like thunder, but soon Lu Zhuhu cut off the ball in the front court, dribbled to the front of the big penalty area, and then a long-range shot was bravely defused by the Barcelona goalkeeper!
After the opening, no one from the two teams tried to directly attack with a big open and closed, and the audience was very enjoyable, and then it became the time for the goalkeepers of the two teams to perform separately.
Zhou Xianyan's bad performance in the last game was just an occasional abnormality, but this time he regained his form and showed his evolution after so many years in front of Bole back then!
In the 23rd minute, Barcelona sent a long pass to the penalty area, and Baptistao's header in front of the goal rushed to the top of the goal, but Zhou Xianyan struggled to hold it, and finally the ball went high above the crossbar and out of the bottom line.
Barcelona's subsequent corner kick was quite threatening, it was a close point to attack the goal, but Zhou Xianyan saw through it and won it first.
The Chinese team then also had a good opportunity, Barcelona made a mistake in the return pass, Chen Zhenhe successfully grabbed the ball, and after continuously dribbling the ball from the midfield, he sent an inverted triangle cross after hitting the bottom line, and Lu Zhuhu followed up and easily pushed the goal! However, the ball was blown off by the referee because the ball had crossed the bottom line before Chen Zhenhe's pass, and he had not been able to learn Ye Beihua's skills.
Both teams had a lot of shots on goal, but the presence of the goalkeeper made it difficult to score, until the 39th minute near the end of the half, Barcelona sent a precise long pass to the penalty area from the right side, and the center forward in front of the goal headed the goal! 1-0!
Barcelona at home scored first!
However, the Chinese team was not to be outdone and did not let the opponent lead for too long. Zhang Xianyuan was knocked down by a Barcelona player when he dribbled on the side, and the Chinese team got the opportunity to take a set-piece, so he recruited Lao Tan from the back line, Lu Zhuhu drove a set-piece to the penalty area, and Lao Tan jumped high in the crowd to score with a header!
1-1!
The Chinese team quickly equalized the score on the field!
Moreover, Lao Tan used almost the same posture as the opposing center forward to score......
At half-time, the Chinese team temporarily drew 1-1 with Barcelona away.
The theme of the second half is still the confrontation between the shooter and the goalkeeper, Lu Zhuhu has always been unable to let go, this time in the front line is also a long drought and rain, there is a ball to shoot, but has not been able to knock on the opponent's door. Barcelona's group of scorers over there is not much better, in front of Zhou Xianyan, who is hanging, he will definitely not be able to enter if he is far away, and he will be snatched away before he can get up the ball when he rushes in......
In the 60th minute, the Barcelona director on the sidelines, Paulino Alcantara, suddenly stood up to warm up, changed into a Barcelona jersey again, and stretched his muscles on the sidelines!
Barcelona fans are going crazy, after many years, they can see their football king charging again! And I thought I would play for twenty minutes at most, but I didn't expect it to be so early!
Not to be outdone, Li Huitang also began to warm up, and the focus battle was about to start!
Lu Zhuhu on the field was a little excited:
YY's Guan Gong battle against Qin Qiong for so long has finally come true!
