Chapter 264: The Christmas Tree
After Yang Shaotian scored, the first half was nearing the end, and Chu Yang gave Thayer an assist in the last one, which also helped the World Star United team overtake the score.
The scene of the two joining forces to kill all sides makes fans can't help but fantasize about what would happen if they were really on the same team, but unfortunately fantasy can only be fantasy, the pit dug by Castro has made Chu Yang destined to miss Barcelona and Barcelona when they meet on the field.
At the end of the first half, the players on both sides did not enter the locker room, but directly blew on the sidelines, and the two football kings also ran over, and the scene was not lively.
At the beginning of the second half, the players on the field were almost replaced, Chu Yang and Thayer were replaced by Suarez and Fontaine respectively, and they became spectators on the sidelines.
The atmosphere on the court was harmonious, there were few fouls, the game went smoothly, and a variety of technical moves that are rarely seen in ordinary times appeared frequently, and the fans seemed to be enjoying a large-scale streetball performance.
Towards the end of the game, the score was 7:5, and the World Stars United took the lead, but not many people paid attention to the number of goals, because everyone knew that the time of parting was coming.
The players on the pitch stopped running, while the fans on the sidelines begged the referee not to blow the whistle for the end of the game.
Fontaine lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes, walked around the arena, waved to the audience, and finally knelt on the lawn of the Bernawood and kissed him affectionately.
Countless fans burst into tears.
CCTV's commentator He Shi began his best poetic commentary again.
"The game is over, the score is not important, the important thing is that the fans have seen the charm of football, it has made us love, hate, laugh, cry, hurt, rejoice, sad, lost, gained, excited, happy, successful, failed, and most importantly, no matter what way it goes, where it ends up, thank it, it has been with us through it."
"It's an unprecedented retirement ceremony and a football feast destined to go down in the history of sport, it has no trophies, no honors, but it is the best football we want to see."
"Thanks for the football and goodbye, Fontaine."

As we enter July 19, Valencia also has a few charity games to play, but charity is only in name, and pre-season training is the main purpose.
The tournament is planned and organized by the Nirvana Charity Foundation, and the members are four teams from the four major leagues of Serie A, La Liga, English Premier League and Bundesliga, and they will play a single round robin over ten days.
The match will be held in Shanghai, and Valencia will face Inter Milan, Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund on the 22nd, 26th and 29th respectively.
The plane landed at Pudong Airport in Shanghai on the 19th, a one-day trip to China on the 20th, a simple training on the 21st, and the competition officially began on the 22nd.
At least half of the more than 30,000 people in the stadium wore his No. 9 jersey for Valencia or the national team, and his huge portrait was held high above everyone's heads, constantly driving in the stands.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Chu Yang has returned to China to participate in the competition after staying abroad, and with his understanding of this country, he can fully imagine the fanaticism of the fans.
But it's one thing to think, it's another to see and hear.
The whole audience was calling their names, this is a rare experience that Chu Yang has had in Mestalla, it is false to say that he is not shocked or moved, but in this game, he not only has to charge on the field, but also be responsible for the on-the-spot command of the team, which is not only a novel experience for him, but also a severe test, so there is not much time to be moved and emotional.
Their opponents, Inter Milan, were not expecting such a situation either.
They have a lot of fans in China, and they have been enthusiastically pursued by fans in China several times in the past, but now these fans seem to have betrayed them, obviously wearing an Inter Milan jersey, but shouting Chu Yang's name in their mouths.
This undoubtedly makes some of them uncomfortable, but now La Liga has surpassed Serie A, and Chu Yang has grown into a business card of La Liga, no matter how uncomfortable they are, they have to endure it.
"The players of both sides have been in, the game is about to start, Inter Milan sent their two strikers Adriano and Vieri, the midfield is led by the wizard Veron, and the back line is led by Inter captain Zanetti, but he is not playing the right wingback that he is good at, but the left wingback, I don't know if he can have the same wonderful performance."
"Valencia sent Chu Yang and Forlan as two forwards, and strangely enough, they brought on the three midfielders of Moya, Samps, Sneijder and Dennis at the same time. Joe is a right midfielder, and he doesn't know how he will stand on the pitch. ”
Valencia's 442 and 451 last season must have been the focus of research for each team, and the departure of Mascherano and Shen Dui has made these two formations a little flawed, Chu Yang wants to take advantage of these games to test a few new ideas.
The first thing to try was the Christmas tree formation of AC Milan in memory.
Fran is a single striker, he himself and Moya are two forwards, and Dennis is a striker. Joe, Sampus and Alonso are three midfielders who can attack and defend, while the back four are Zorgo, Saiente, Nemanja Vidic and Arnos.
Among them, Chu Yang's position can be moved forward at any time, changing from 4321 to 4312.
However, the difference between a single forward and a double striker or a double forward and a single striker is not very big, because Chu Yang often retreats to get the ball, and Valencia has played a similar style in the past, and it is not difficult to adapt, and there is nothing innovative about it.
The essence of this formation is in the back three.
The core is Sneijder and Alonso, and Chu Yang's positioning of them is equivalent to the transformed Pirlo or Barcelona's Xavi, which is equivalent to putting the team's dispatch center behind, and they will organize and sort out the team's midfield to complete the offensive and defensive conversion.
Sampus, on the other hand, has the hardness and skill, both offensive and defensive, can not only be the team's first barrier, but also a midfield grinder, can also escort Alonso or Sneijder, and can participate in the attack from the back when the situation enters a stalemate.
One of the more difficult ones in the lineup is Joe. Cole.
He has been playing as a full-back or winger since his debut, and has never played in the middle, although his possession, passing, vision and coordination awareness are among the best, and in theory it is completely in line with the setting of a technical midfielder, but from full-back to midfield, this span is a bit too much, in addition to the biggest defensive problems, habits and personal style are also things that are difficult to change.
The Christmas tree formation has been tested in actual combat and history in his previous life, and its practicality is undoubted. Joe is probably the weakest link in this.
It would undoubtedly be the right choice to take him down and replace him with Alonso, but Dennis. Joe is not only one of Valencia's highest-paid players, but also a champion last season, and a favorite of thousands of fans, and his removal from the starting line-up is undoubtedly a ticking time bomb in the team.
And from a personal point of view, Chu Yang can't be so ruthless.
After all, Dennis. Joe's joining Valencia was actually a bit of a bureaucracy, Chu Yang was one of the main reasons why he was able to make up his mind, if he was put on the bench now, a hat that crossed the river and demolished the bridge would definitely not be able to escape.
