Chapter 35 Dream Season, Giants Attention

If the reversal directed by Wen Zhihao in the first game of the Chinese Super League is just an appetizer, then Wen Zhihao's performance next is a gluttonous feast that fans will remember for a long time.

At the end of the league halfway, Wen Zhihao's name topped the scorer list and assist list, with 15 goals and 8 assists, and 23 goals! It accounted for 70% of the team's 33 goals. Especially against several strong teams Luneng, SIPG, Guoan and R&F, the opponent in the same city, he brutally scored 7 goals and 5 assists, helping Evergrande almost push the opponent all the way and win the half championship without any suspense.

Half a season of crazy performances made Wen Zhihao naturally become the new favorite of Tianhe Sports Center, and the No. 15 jersey left by the core Conca of the previous generation has been perfectly inherited in Wen Zhihao, especially in the home game against SIPG, Conca returned to Tianhe's old master, but was overshadowed by Wen Zhihao's world wave, and the fans gave Wen Zhihao a title that symbolizes the highest glory of this stadium:

King of the Celestial Bodies!

In the domestic arena, the new generation of "king of celestial bodies" shocked the crowd with the momentum of devastation, and it was even more unstoppable in the AFC Champions League, with 6 goals in 6 games in the group stage, and almost all of them were rapid blitzes that made Japan, South Korea and Australia feel powerless, and the Japanese media described Wen Zhihao's way of breaking the goal as "death express".

The AFC even paid attention to Wen Zhihao with a huge title on its official website: Chinese Demon Knife, Shocking Asia!

The domestic media frantically reprinted the evaluation of the AFC, and Wen Zhihao had a resounding business card in front of the public: Chinese Demon Knife!

Just when Wen Zhihao's double line was red, Evergrande made a decision to detonate Chinese football: Cannavaro stepped down, and World Cup champion coach Scolari took over Evergrande's coaching whip!

The media and fans alike were puzzled by the decision. Since Cannavaro led the team, the Chinese Super League is still firmly at the top of the table, and the AFC Champions League has successfully advanced to the quarterfinals with a home victory over South Korean team Seongnam FC. Is it necessary to choose to change the coach at such a time?

Such worries are one thing, and more media are beginning to worry about Wen Zhihao's position in the team. Under Cannavaro, Wen Zhihao was established as the offensive core of Evergrande, but once a son of heaven and a courtier, will the always conservative "Big Phil" continue to let the young Wen Zhihao play such an important role?

The media's fears were soon fulfilled. In the two league games after Scolari took office, although Wen Zhihao entered the squad, he did not get a minute to play, and Evergrande was also drawn by Shuntian and Shen **, and won two rounds for the first time in the season.

Some media questioned Scolari's employment as to why he stubbornly trusted the Brazilian international Paulinho, who was still unaccustomed to the soil, and abandoned Wen Zhihao, who had a brilliant performance in the first half. Scolari said Wen Zhihao has a lot of potential, but the use of experienced players in the focus game can better ensure the team's consistent performance.

Fans don't accept that. 15 goals and 8 assists in the half of the league, counting the first round of the AFC Champions League, 7 goals and 6 assists in 8 games, the efficiency of one goal per game is not called stable? Is it good to have thighs?

After being forced to draw at home by the relegation team Henan Jianye, these grievances finally broke out, and Evergrande fans appeared in the stands "Scolari is out of class!" We need Wen Zhihao! slogan. Some radical fans chose to boycott or block the players' tunnel in protest.

However, Wen Zhihao's mentality is stable, he criticized Scolari's conservatism in last year's World Cup, and the previous Inter Milan tempering made him mature. On the contrary, he is happy to get some space to rest and adjust, and relieve the fatigue of the first half of the consecutive battles.

Perhaps under the pressure of public opinion, Scolari gave Wen Zhihao a chance when he was behind Japan's Kashiwa Sun God by one goal at home in the second leg of the AFC Champions League quarterfinals, and replaced Gao Lin with Wen Zhihao in the 40th minute. Wen Zhihao quickly proved his strength, and in the 54th minute, Wen Zhihao paid tribute to the "heartthrob" Beckham with a kick of the "full moon scimitar", completely extinguishing the momentum of the opponent's counterattack. In the end, Evergrande successfully entered the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League with a total score of 4:2 with a decisive advantage of 3:1 in the first leg.

After the game, Scolari took the initiative to review his underestimation of Wen Zhihao's ability, and bluntly said that a player with Wen Zhihao's ability should be given a more important role.

In the subsequent league, the outside world saw the changes in Evergrande. Scolari decisively changed Evergrande's offensive line to a frontcourt foursome, Goulart and Wen Zhihao formed a frontcourt duo, Brazilian international Paulinho participated in the attack as a back plug in the receiving point, and Brazilian striker Elkeson, nicknamed "Little Bear", was the team's forward fulcrum.

Wen Zhihao, who was fully trusted, regained his killer nature after a short adjustment, and in the second half of the league, 13 league games bombarded 14 goals and 6 assists, and at the end of the season, he broke the single-season goal record of 28 goals set by Elkeson with a terrifying 29 goals and 14 assists, and at the same time helped the team win the fifth consecutive championship of the Chinese Super League, there is no suspense to become a local golden boot after Li Jinyu, and at the same time crowned the Chinese Super League assist king.

However, the surprises brought by Wen Zhihao are not over. Relying on Wen Zhihao's efficient performance, Evergrande reached the AFC Champions League final again after a year, and Wen Zhihao, who contributed 2 goals again in the semi-finals, led the AFC Champions League scorer list with 10 goals, 3 goals ahead of the second place, Portuguese star Almeida who played for Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal. With Almeida's team already out, the AFC Champions League Golden Boot is already a certainty.

Chinese fans, who are too lacking in comfort, have more expectations in their hearts while being excited. Will Wen Zhihao break the record of 13 goals in the AFC Champions League in a single season set by Evergrande's meritorious goalscorer Muric?

……

When Wen Zhihao attacked the city for Evergrande all the way, Europe, which has never let go of geniuses, refocused its attention on this former Milan demon boy. The German website Transfermarkt has already valued Wen Zhihao at 6 million euros. Before the AFC Champions League final, Evergrande received offers from Manchester United, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid. Manchester United expressed the greatest interest, with bids of €7.5 million, while Chelsea and Atletico Madrid made offers of €6.4 million and €6.7 million respectively. It is worth mentioning that Inter, who once gave up Wen Zhihao, changed their minds, not only offered a fixed price of 7.2 million euros, but also directly promised Wen Zhihao the position of the main player in the first team, hoping to welcome back the demon star of the academy.

In addition, Russian Premier League giants CSKA Moscow, Turkish Super League champion Galatasaray, and European giants Ajax have all expressed their desire to bring in Wen Zhihao.

Everything indicates that once the 2015 winter transfer window opens, Wen Zhihao will immediately become a favorite among the giants.

However, whether it is the Evergrande Club or Wen Zhihao himself, they have no intention of dealing with these rumors for the time being. Because there is still the most important battle of the season waiting for them.

AFC Champions League Final! Win the pinnacle battle in Asia!
