368 Desperate national football
UEFA's official website recently selected the best 18-man squad for this season's Champions League, and Real Madrid, who eventually managed to lift the trophy, had eight people selected.
In recent years, more and more young people have risen to the occasion, and the outstanding performance is exciting. The famous Squawka website has selected the 11 best Under-23 players in the Champions League this season, and it is no surprise that Zhang Zhetian is the goalkeeper on this list.
Despite only playing four games, they single-handedly eliminated the mighty Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, remained unbeaten in two legs against the Galacticos, and only halted the Champions League journey with a narrow disadvantage of fewer away goals.
Zhang Zhetian saved four penalties in four games, each worth a thousand dollars, although he conceded two goals, but contributed a goal, and in the four games he played, he was the best on the spot.
Especially away to Real Madrid, he saved three penalties from Cristiano Ronaldo at the Bernabeu Stadium in a row, and received a standing ovation from the Real Madrid fans in the stadium, becoming the first Asian player to conquer the Bernabeu.
As Arsenal faced all strong opponents in the knockout rounds, Zhang Zhetian averaged a staggering 11.3 saves per game, which is the first in the Champions League.
On June 6, the Chinese Football Association announced the list of training camps to convene the U20 Tokyo Olympic Games qualifiers.
On this day, Arsenal officially announced that Schalke 04 left wing-back Sejad Kolasinac will join the team after his contract expires this summer, and the two sides signed a five-year contract.
Interestingly, Zhang Zhetian sent a new tweet on the "manager": "It's great to see the team complete the first signing so quickly, Kolasinac is a very strong player, I know him very well, I watched him play when I was in Germany, I think he can help the team's defense and attack, he will be one of the strongest left-backs Arsenal has ever had." It's a pity that we can't play alongside him next season. ”
On the one hand, this tweet shows Zhang Zhetian's affirmation and appreciation of the strength of the new signing, but the last sentence also made gun fans completely dead.
Despite this, the Gunners' world-beating goal in the 36th round of the Premier League, the Gunners' home win over Manchester United, was voted Arsenal's best goal of the season by the Gunners fans.
In the fan poll, Chelsea received a staggering 100 per cent of the vote for his long-range shot, Oliver Giroud's scorpion tail 46 per cent, Mesut Ozil's goal against Ludogorets with 33 per cent of the fans, and Laurent Koscielny fourth with 5 per cent of the vote for the Saints.
On June 8, the Chinese men's national football team took a charter flight to Johor Bahru, Malaysia this morning to prepare for the top 12 matches of the World Preliminary Tournament with the Syrian team.
Zhang Zhetian bombarded the Sports Bureau and the Football Association, and announced his permanent withdrawal from the national team and transfer after being punished and banned, and the turmoil caused by the transfer was very big in China, but under the high pressure of the Football Association, the Chinese team was silent, and even Zhang Yuning did not dare to call Zhang Zhetian.
Coach Marcelo Lippi and the Italian compatriots in the coaching staff have repeatedly negotiated with each other, and have also contacted Zhang Zhetian many times during the period, but unfortunately to no avail, under the premise of greeting the Football Association, in the face of the media, they can only keep silent about the incident of Zhang Zhetian.
Although he was greeted by the above, and did not mention Zhetian in newspapers and on the Internet, most of the media are not optimistic about the Chinese team's game, although the People's Daily claims that football is a team sport, and the Chinese team is still very strong without anyone, but the fans know very well that the Chinese team is finished.
Because of the match between Iran and Uzbekistan, the Iranian team defeated the opponent 2-0, 8 games, 5 wins and 3 draws, accumulating 18 points, locking the qualification two rounds in advance, becoming the first Asian team to enter the 2018 Russia World Cup, and the result of this game will undoubtedly have a certain impact on the Chinese team's qualifying situation.
Uzbekistan's loss to Iran is undoubtedly good news for the Chinese team, which is currently 5 points behind Uzbekistan and 6 points behind South Korea, which also has one game less.
If the Chinese team beats Syria, then the difference between the national football team and Uzbekistan will be narrowed to 2 points, and the South Korean team will be narrowed to 3 points.
Once South Korea beats Qatar and scores a point in their last two games, China will not be able to overtake South Korea and finish second in the group, but will only strive for third in the group.
If the Chinese team draws with Syria and wins the last two rounds against Uzbekistan and Qatar, Uzbekistan loses in the last two rounds, and Syria does not play well in the last two rounds, the Chinese team still has the theoretical possibility of squeezing out Uzbekistan and Syria.
If the Chinese team can win at home against Uzbekistan in the 9th round, they will surpass the opponent by 1 point (on the premise of the Chinese team's victory over Syria)! In the final round, the Chinese team will come to Qatar with a one-point advantage, and Uzbekistan will play South Korea at home.
If China wins away against Qatar and South Korea does not lose to Uzbekistan, China will finish third in the group.
In fact, no matter how you calculate it, the Chinese team must take Syria, even if it is a draw.
If Zhang Zhetian is still in the team, Chinese fans can definitely arrogantly believe that they don't need to play to know the game against Syria, and the three points have fallen into the bag.
But the Chinese team, but also the media did not dare to speculate on the outcome of the game, and even the fans were in mourning, you know, the Chinese team lost to the opponent at home, let alone away?
Although Lippi appeared confident to the outside and expressed confidence in winning against his opponents, the reporters who followed the Chinese team to Malaysia to prepare for the game clearly noticed the nervousness and discouragement of the international players outside the training ground.
Although Zhang Zhetian quit the national team and became a German-Chinese, he still tweeted on the "Zhangmen" website to cheer for the Chinese team, claiming that as long as the Chinese team shows its strength, it will not be a big problem to kill Syria.
"Boss, do you still pay attention to the national team's games?"
"Lao Tzu is still Chinese!"
"Boss, do you think you would have won without you?"
"I don't know."
"No, I don't know?"
"Lao Tzu is not a fairy, he knows a fart!"
“……”
At half past nine o'clock in the evening of June 13, the top 12 matches in the Asian region of the World Preliminary Championships continued, and the match between the Chinese team and Syria started at the Hanjabal Stadium in Malacca.
After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, although the Chinese team did not lose, the score of 2-2 was desperate.
