Chapter 207: Liang Xin's abnormality
After four rounds of the Champions League group stage, the qualification situation for all groups has become clear. The seeded teams that were widely favored by everyone before basically occupied a favorable position to qualify, Monaco two draws and two losses at the bottom of the group is an exception, which also reflects the lack of overall competitiveness of the French league from one side, except for Paris Saint-Germain can maintain the competitiveness in the Champions League, the other teams are basically difficult to get rid of the fate of the next year after the outbreak of one year.
There are no accidents, which means that there may be multiple groups of Champions League finals at the peak of the first round of this year's knockout round, for many fans, I am afraid there will be difficulty in choosing, and the trade-off is an art, but more often it is a headache.
Atletico Madrid qualified strongly in Group C, and the Chinese media have invested significantly more in their Champions League coverage than in previous years, and they have become accustomed to treating Atletico as their home team. Atletico Madrid has gone further, and Wen Zhihao has more opportunities to appear in the Champions League.
After several rounds of comparative analysis, the Chinese media selected two universally recognized ideal opponents for the knockout round: Basel, who was second in Group A, and Tottenham Hotspur, who were first in Group H.
Basel is a logical choice, and if they progress to the round of 16, they will undoubtedly be the best team to deal with. The reason for choosing Tottenham Hotspur has more to do with the unique feelings of the Chinese media. South Korean star Son Heung-min plays for Tottenham. The South Korean media has always regarded Son Heung-min as Asia's No. 1 star, just as Park Ji-sung was touted in the first place. The difference is that in the era of Park Ji-sung, China really has no star who can compete with him, and he himself has won the Champions League, although the Chinese media is very unhappy with the South Koreans, but they can only grit their teeth and swallow this breath, but now it is different, Wen Zhihao can compete with Sun Xingmin, how can the Chinese media not be excited, the Champions League is the best touchstone. Wen Zhihao has performed well, and we can also have awesome capital for Koreans.
Asia's No. 1 Player? Well, thank you, Wen Zhihao does have this kind of strength, but we don't like you to brag all over the world, low-key, low-key character!
……
In the 11th round of La Liga, the last round of the league before the international break, Wen Zhihao started the game and provided an assist, and Thomas scored the only goal of the game for Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid defeated Deportivo 1-0 away, the second time this season to achieve three consecutive league wins, after eleven rounds of eight wins and three draws with 27 points ranked third in La Liga, Barcelona and Valencia ranked the top two with 34 points and 29 points respectively, and Atletico Madrid did not lose a game, Barcelona won all the rest of the games except for a draw with Atletico Madrid, even the peak of Guardiola's coaching is difficult to reach such heights, it can be seen that Barcelona's horror this season, shameful and courageous super giants are often the nightmare of opponents.
In addition, Atletico Madrid is in hot pursuit with 24 points. Atletico Madrid are still facing a situation where they have strong opponents in front of them and chasing them behind, and Simeone communicated with the internationals who had national team matches alone the day before the team disbanded during the international break, reminding them to pay attention to protect themselves and not to get injured, so as not to affect the long season ahead.
After the away match against Deportivo La Coruna, Wen Zhihao returned home non-stop, and the national team will face Serbia and Colombia in Guangzhou and Chongqing successively, as an important warm-up for the final stage of the World Cup in Russia after the round of 12.
I have to say that the Football Association is quite powerful this time, Serbia and Colombia are both the top 20 teams in the world, and the quality of the national team's friendly matches is very different from the past, which has also reduced a lot of pain for fans, and finally there is no need to popularize geographical knowledge while watching the game......
After Wen Zhihao arrived at the training base to report, he came directly to the training ground, and he didn't have to think that he knew that he was always the last to arrive at the team when he rushed back from abroad to participate in the training camp. But this time it was really different, Liang Xin, who rushed back from Eindhoven, was later than him, Wen Zhihao arrived at the base on the afternoon of the 6th Beijing time, and Liang Xin arrived in the evening.
As soon as they met, Wen Zhihao directly hammered Liang Xin's chest, and complained very unfairly: "You kid, hey, there is always this shit luck, you pretended to be sick in the last training camp, and you have eaten a ready-made team in the World Cup, I really don't understand why Old Man Pi still wants someone like you to escape." ”
"I really don't have much to contribute, you can tell Old Man Pi, let me go, anyway, Old Man Pi likes you." Liang Xin really took Wen Zhihao's joke to heart, and turned his head directly to leave.
Wen Zhihao grabbed him, and he was a little angry in his heart, shouting, "Come back!" I haven't seen you for a few months, but your temper is good, I can't hear me joking...... What's wrong with you, is there something wrong? ”
Liang Xin originally wanted to push Wen Zhihao away, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he paused, hesitated for a few seconds, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, you don't have to worry about it." Then he walked away directly, no matter what Wen Zhihao called him behind him, he didn't say a word.
Wen Zhihao concluded that there must be something wrong with him, Liang Xin is not a person who can't afford to make a joke, but what the hell is going on, it has been like this since the beginning of the meeting, which shows that such emotions are not for a while, Wen Zhihao decided to ask Liang Xin tomorrow no matter what, as his national team partner and brother, it is one thing to be able to solve it, but Wen Zhihao will definitely not stand idly by.
The next day's training, simple recovery training and set-piece special training in the morning, and the whole team's group training and tactical joint training in the afternoon, Liang Xin continued to perform abnormally, even the most basic short pass footwork was inaccurate, Wen Zhihao reminded very dissatisfied: "What are you doing?" I won't let you drive a big foot, how can I take the arc so high? ”
Liang Xin sighed, signaling that it was his own problem, but then soon passed a small force to the earth, Wen Zhihao was not fully prepared, and almost fell to his foot when he stepped over to catch the ball.
Lippi frowned and watched as he whispered to Madaloni. Maddaloni asked, "Liang's state is abnormal, these mistakes are simply amateurish, do you need me to talk to him?" This doesn't look like a status issue. ”
Lippi didn't speak, Wen Zhihao got up directly and pulled Liang Xin aside after a fall, and asked very seriously: "Old Liang, Liang Xin!" What's the matter with you? ”
Liang Xin shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm distracted, I'm sorry, come again." ”
Wen Zhihao grabbed him: "It's okay, fart!" Which sub-god goes for no reason? You are simply not a half-minded person. Yesterday I thought you were abnormal, and you still treated me as a brother? Say, what's going on, as long as it's not a stabbing thing, I can make an idea with you, if you don't say that no one can help, suffocate you! ”
