Chapter 298: The much-anticipated Champions League final
Kong Zhendong nodded and said: "I have already submitted an application to the club, and I will not renew my contract with the club next season, and after this Champions League final, I will leave Europe and return to China." ”
Madelynch said: "Next Saturday in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, should be the final against Belgium, right?" ”
Kong Zhendong nodded and said: "Yes, when the finals are over, no matter whether the Wolverine team wins the championship or not, I will not return to Sweden with the plane, but will return to China directly, so in the next few days, it will probably be the last time we get along, and if you want to eat your food, it will be only these few days." ”
When the Victorian sisters heard that Kong Zhendong would return to China after only a week's stay, they suddenly felt lost in their hearts, and in the second half of this grand banquet, they also felt like chewing wax.
After winning the Copa del Rey, Coach Bengersen gave everyone a three-day holiday, and after three days, everyone trained for two more days before going to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, for the final Champions League final.
During the three-day holiday, the Victorian sisters' mood calmed down. My sister Victoria has applied to the diplomatic department again and will go to the Chinese embassy again for an internship this summer.
Sister Madeleine does not have such a job opportunity, but her travel itinerary is more casual, so the two and Kong Zhendong are only briefly separated.
In the past three days, Victoria and Madeleine took Kong Zhendong to visit all the places of interest and historical sites that Kong Zhendong in Sweden did not have time to visit, and the two sisters also took turns to show their dark cuisine.
Of course, Kong Zhendong also dedicated the cooking skills that he had practiced as a bachelor for many years.
On June 5, Kong Zhendong returned to the Wolverine training base for intensive training.
This week, both the Swedish table tennis media and the rest of Europe's table tennis journals are aiming for the Champions League final.
Because by this time, the professional leagues in various European countries have come to an end, and the champions of cup competitions such as the Copa del Rey have been decided in various countries.
The biggest suspense in the last industry of the year is the ownership of the table tennis European Champions Cup.
For the sake of excitement and suspense, the table tennis Champions League finals did not have a two-legged knockout match of home and away like other early knockout matches.
Every year in the Champions League final, the match is played in a third country other than the country to which the two finalists belong.
A game is won or lost.
Belgium's Brussels, who have been regarded as the top seeds to win the Champions League this year.
They are also Swedish killers.
Persson's Gothenburg Tibetan Mastiffs and Waldner's Skiers were eliminated by Brussels Belgium in the knockout round.
It has always been felt that the only one who can compete with the Belgian Brussels team is the French team's superhuman tyrant Geiting.
In today's Europe, since the World Table Tennis Championships Gaiting vs. Seifer and the championship began, most table tennis experts believe that this represents an unreasonable and ferocious faction, and has entered the peak era of comprehensive domination of the world table tennis world.
Therefore, everyone speculates that Belgium and France will be the final opponents of the European Champions League.
This rhetoric was even stronger when France reached the last four of the Champions League at the same time as Belgium.
It's a pity that these table tennis experts guessed the beginning, but they can never guess the end of the story.
Kong Zhendong led the Swedish Wolverine team to counterattack all the way, and actually won the European table tennis tyrant Gaiting from the qualifying round, group stage, all the way to the final.
Gaiting and Seifer have always been positioned in Europe, which is probably similar to the ancient Chinese Jishengyu He Shengliang!
Now that Zhuge Liang was blown up by Kong Zhendong, can Zhou Yu still sit still?
Although in Kong Zhendong's opinion, Sever's absolute strength is only different from Gaiting at most, and it is not significantly higher.
However, the Belgian Brussels team is much better than the Eiffel Tower team in Gaitin.
The strength is strong in the second singles.
The Eiffel Tower's second singles player was France's Elois. Because he often combines doubles with Gaiting, he is also a guy with a world doubles title on his head.
However, compared to Primorac, the second singles player of the Belgian team, Elois is simply a difference between a primary school teacher and a university professor, a few notches behind.
Primorac, compared to Seifer, can't even be called the second singles.
It was only because of the war in Eastern Europe that he joined the Brussels, Belgium team, and the original team had already established Seifer as the team's first singles and tactical core, and Primorac was a peaceful and indisputable character, so outsiders called Primorac the second player.
With Primorac's outstanding record in the international arena, it is definitely comparable to the existence of Waldner, Geiting, Seifer, and Persson, and is one level higher than the ordinary table tennis kings who galloped in the world table tennis arena for a period of time and were named the domestic champions.
On the plane to Amsterdam, Kong Zhendong was still trying to recall the picture of his previous life against Primorac.
Those games were after 1995, when Primorac was at the end of his prime.
Although Primorac was later inducted into the Table Tennis Hall of Fame for his tenacious participation in many Olympic events along with Persson, he became a European flag figure.
But in the 21st century, Primorac is already a mascot.
Primorac's real peak state is still in the past few years of 90~95.
And now in 93, Kong Zhendong just hit the pinnacle of the peak, Primorac.
At last year's Olympics, Primorac's hometown of Yugoslavia was torn apart by war and division, and he had no intention of fighting, but he failed to break through in singles.
The doubles results are even more because the identity of the partner for many years is another nationality, and the sharp opposition has made the partners of more than ten years can only fly separately, and the Olympic doubles event is finally lost.
This year's World Table Tennis Championships in Gothenburg can be regarded as a return battle to prove Primorac's peak strength.
Although Primorac only won the singles semi-finals.
Although he didn't even make it to the final, he was in the semi-finals with Waldner, Sever, and Geiting.
With them at the top of the world, with dozens of peerless masters at the peak of strength and the most fierce competition in the past twenty years and the next thirty years, Primorac should be proud enough.
Kong Zhendong believes that according to the law of the battle, he should be the first to meet the opponent's No. 2 main force Primorac in the first three games, but in the face of such a comprehensive technique, no dead ends in the serve, known as the first ball control fierce man of the table tennis machine, Kong Zhendong can't find a way to crack it for a while.
At eight o'clock in the evening of June 6, the flight landed at Amsterdam Airport in the Netherlands.
Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands, a famous tourist city in Europe, because it is also one of the most beautiful port cities, so the June monsoon makes the air fill the air with a damp throbbing.
Unbeknownst to Kong, on the same flight they arrived in Amsterdam, Victoria and Madeleine also arrived in business class.
