"This is the fourth goal scored by Zhang Jun in three league games since March! He was selected for the Chinese national team and is in surprisingly good shape, and Fiorentina has now risen to fourth! A direct upgrade doesn't seem far away! β
Zhang Jun, who scored the goal, excitedly showed the number behind him to the fans at the scene. And the fans shouted his name loudly.
Mondonico watched the scene from the dugout and said to his assistant coach Bottoretto: "As a striker, Zhang Jun knows exactly what to do to earn trust. Goals, goals, goals. I'm already thinking about asking the club to negotiate with Milan and buy Zhang Jun directly. β
Bottoretto pointed to the stands: "Milan has someone there to record every game, and Zhang is in such good condition, I'm afraid they won't let him go." β
"They have already booked that kid Bodinov, and they still want Zhang Jun, what are they doing hoarding so many forwards?" Mondonico felt that his assistant had a point, and he bowed his head and cursed softly.
"Actually, I'm worried about Zhang Jun's fitness. He's at a peak both physically and in shape right now, but he's going to play two warm-up games for the national team and then the league. In the remaining month and a half, we have to play eight league rounds, and I am worried about whether Zhang can maintain his strength. "What Bottoretto says is the most practical. Since the World Cup will open on June 9, the 42 rounds of the second division must be completed before May 15 in order to make way for the World Cup, so many weekly double matches are arranged, and the density of the games is very large, which will be a severe test for many players.
Especially for those players who are still going to the World Cup, they have exhausted their energy in the league, what about the World Cup?
Mondonico looked at Zhang Jun, who was running as hard as he could on the field: "The World Cup or something, it's not something we think about. As long as he can do well at the club. β
In the final game, Zhang Jun, Rigano and Lucarelli each scored one goal and defeated Bari 3:1, only two points away from third-place Treviso and five points away from second-place Torino.
With eight rounds to go, many Fiorentina fans are already looking forward to the moment when the team will return to the first division.
And for Zhang Jun, what is more important than Fiorentina's promotion at the moment is the national team's game. The opponents of the two warm-up matches have been decided, the first, they will take on the Spanish national team at the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain; The second game was played north to Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, at the Amsterdam Arena, the home of Ajax, against the Dutch national team led by Basten.
It can be said that this training is the strongest opponent and the highest gold content encountered by the Chinese team in the warm-up match in recent years. This is naturally done by relying on Qiu Suhui's contacts in Europe for many years.
Because the World Cup is imminent, all teams want to test the formation and staffing of the team, so they will do their best to play the main team. This is exactly what Qiu Suhui can't ask for. Because the new Chinese team has been formed for more than half a year, it is just a little bit of a sense in China and a few nearby teams, and he has never done it at all, he wants to know how strong this Chinese team is, and he has to play against the top teams in Europe, he is not afraid of losing, but he is afraid that he will not be able to expose the problem. So he also recalled all the players who played in Europe to form the strongest squad in China at present.

Westphalen Stadium, Borussia Dortmund, Germany.
"Ayrton broke through the Dortmund backline!"
Schalke 04's Brazilian striker, "ball lightning" Ayrton used his speed to break through the Dortmund backline, and there was only one goalkeeper in front of him, a single knife!
The goalkeeper attacked quickly, and Ayrton wanted to hit the goalkeeper by surprise, and forced his feet to shoot before he could adjust himself!
The goalkeeper reacted surprisingly quickly and made the right judgment the moment Ayrton got to his feet, falling to the ground and diving to the left. When the ball arrived, he slapped it, and the ball changed direction and rolled out of the goal against the goalpost!
Elton stamped his feet in chagrin while the Westphalian Stadium erupted in jubilation, with 80,000 fans chanting one man's name: "Ann! Quiet! Quiet!! β
"It was another brilliant save from Ann, who kept Borussia Dortmund in stoppage time! Now Dortmund lead Schalke 04 1:0 at their home stadium! β
Qiu Suhui once told Anke that as long as he maintains a stable state, the No. 1 national goal of the Chinese team will definitely be his. Anke has since continued to prove in the game that Qiu Suhui's trust is not only because he plays abroad, but because he does have that quality.
Passionate, arrogant, bold, and resolute, all of them are the qualities that a perfect goalkeeper should have in Qiu Suhui's heart.
"Hey, Captain! Don't let the other party break through like this again! Foul if necessary and tackle that kid! The back line stays in formation and focuses! Anke jumped up from the ground and yelled at his teammates. No one blamed him for being rude to his seniors like this, because they were all used to being called around like this by Anke. As a goalkeeper, Dortmund's players will be surprised when he stops calling.
"Ahn is very concerned about the performance of the backline, because the goalkeeper alone cannot stop Schalke 04's onslaught in any way. He has not conceded a goal for 300 minutes so far, which is a miracle for Dortmund's poor backline! β
"Listen to the cheers at the Westphalian Stadium and see how the fans have behaved towards him. It's no wonder that when rumours of a move to Bayern Munich were reported, so many Dortmund fans staged a sit-in in front of the club's gates. β
"Well, I'm thinking that if the Chinese team has the opportunity to play in Westphalia in the World Cup, as long as the opponent is not the German team, maybe this will become the home stadium of the Chinese team."
Schalke 04's corner kick was picked up by Anke straight in the air and the referee blew the final whistle when he kicked the ball out again. Borussia Dortmund's narrow home win over Schalke 04 gave them another solid step towards next season's participation in the UEFA Cup.

Anderlecht, Belgium.
It was an ordinary league match, but it was a special match, and it was dubbed the "Chinese Derby" by the local media in Anderlecht. Because the home team Anderlecht has two Chinese players in the starting line-up: left wing-back Xiang Tao and midfielder Wang Yu, and the main striker of the Antwerp team as their opponent is their former teammate in the Olympic Games - Wu Shangshan.
He was bought out by Manchester United and loaned to Antwerp, Belgium, where he experienced his ups and downs with the club for two and a half years. At the end of the season when he first arrived with the team, the team was relegated to the second division, and just when many people were worried about his future, he relied on his own efforts to bring Antwerp to the first division with his teammates, and the team is currently in the middle of the first division, but he is in the top four scorers.
Manchester United have bought a lot of strikers in recent years, Allan; Smith, Saha, and Rooney are all top players in the Premier League, but Ferguson is still not satisfied. When I bought Wu Shangshan, I took a fancy to his excellent physical fitness and planned to let him take over; Nistrooy's class. It has already been reported that Manchester United will recall him to the squad after the World Cup and officially become a member of the first team.
He was also very active in this "China Derby", threatening Anderlecht's door on several occasions. However, after being shoveled out of the boundary by Xiang Tao with the ball at the beginning, he never tried to break through Xiang Tao again. On the contrary, Wang Yu in the midfield was very difficult to prevent him because of his slow turn.
Goh's efforts paid off in the 27th minute of the second half when he picked up a clever pass from a team-mate, forced his way through Anderlecht's defence with his pace, and then fired low to score his 15th goal of the season.
The goal gave visitors Antwerp the lead, but Anderlecht equalised at the start of the second half. It wasn't the team's biggest scorer Mbo who scored the goal; Rather than a Chinese full-back.
Xiang Tao took the ball near the midfield, he did not pass the ball, but went straight forward, Wang Yu tacitly came up to block for him, allowing him to pass the midfield calmly. Instead of complaining about him being a defender with the ball forward, Anderlecht's fans cheered him on loudly. Because they know that Xiang Tao, as a full-back, actually has a strong sense of attack, and you will often see him running alone on the left flank, and then crossing the bottom or cutting inside to shoot. It was really cool to see him outperform defensive opponents with his speed and physique. Some fans even called him "China's Robert; Carlos".
This time was no exception, relying on Wang Yu's help, after passing the first person, he slammed the ball forward, and then jumped up to avoid the Antwerp player who was flying in the second tackle. His speed is indeed fast, which is why even Wu Shangshan did not dare to break through him easily.
When Xiang Tao caught up with the ball, the third defender was not far from him, and he was in a position to intercept, and it seemed that he could only hit headlong and throw himself into the net. But I didn't expect Xiang Tao to suddenly shoot from a distance!
Thirty meters away! And the angle was very off, and he actually shot the goal!
And this ball is shot very accurately, judging from the arc, it will definitely fall within the goal frame!
The goalkeeper who was standing in front of him hurriedly retreated, jumped up, and raised his right hand high in the air, trying to lift the sudden arrival of the football out. But the ball was a little quicker than his hand and got into the goal against the crossbar.
Ball...... The ball went in? The ball went in!?
The ball is in!!
"Incredible goal! It was an absolutely incredible goal!! This season, Xiang has performed for us many times in a row, but this time it is absolutely shocking! Listen to Vanden; Cheers to Stoke Stadium! β
Tens of thousands of people shouted a person's name in unison, which sounded really cool, and Xiang Tao felt this way now. But he didn't forget to make a grimace at Wu Shangshan on the opposite side, he used to be a teammate of the National Olympic Games, and now it is really not easy to reunite in Belgium, which is thousands of miles away from China.
Wu Shangshan looked at Xiang Tao's excitement and shook his head. It was difficult for him to break through this person's defense in the National Olympic Games, and now he is not as beautiful as he is even scoring goals. Oh my God, is he a defender or a striker?

Crewe faced the stands and made a "shut up" gesture. There were several banners insulting him and his family, and the fans were not Southampton fans away, but Chelsea fans.
Crewe has endured the men's boos and insults for 70 minutes, and has not stopped since he started. If it weren't for the billboards and the police, he would have rushed in and fought with the fans.
So when he scored Chelsea's second goal with a powerful volley from outside the box, the celebration was not a cheer or a hug with a team-mate, but instead he rushed to the stands, stood in front of the billboard money, pressed his index finger to his lips and demonstrated to the angry faces that were close at hand.
Which national team does Lao Tzu join, and what nationality do you choose to do your! *οΌ
Lowering his index finger, he stomped the Carlsberg beer billboard in front of him, making a muffled sound.
The boos did not stop, but intensified.

Yang Pan sat on the sofa in Li Yongle's apartment, watching the kid pack up his things. He ran in and out several times, still pinching his chin in front of Yang Pan and pacing back and forth: "Hmm, what else is missing......
Yang Pan yawned: "We just went to play two warm-up games, and the training time was only a week. It's not a trip, why do you bring so many game discs? Qiu Zhi said, it's okay to play games, but except for the Pro Evolution Soccer series on PS2, others are not allowed to play. Do you want to commit a crime against the wind? β
Li Yongle blushed, so he had to pour out all the game discs and video discs in his backpack. Yang Pan stretched out his hand and grabbed him, and then flipped through the discs, "Bring more discs, there are still a lot of good things...... Like this one. He raised his hand, and Li Yongle saw that it was Oliver; directed by Oliverstone, Al; Alpacino, Cameron; Cameron Diaz, Dennis; "AnygivenSunday" starring Dennisquaid. A sports-themed movie that tells the story of the NFL and is very bloody.
"Oh, I've seen it, it's hot-blooded." Li Yongle pulled one out of the plate, "But I prefer this." "That's Sharon; Stone (Sharonstone) and Michael; BasicInstinct starring Michael Douglas.
"Damn, you silver thief!" Yang Pan scolded, "But you'd better not let Xiang Tao see it." β
"Why? Isn't he not interested in this kind of film? β
"It's because he's not interested that he scolds you for not being classy. He is a person who doesn't even watch tertiary movies, and only watches A movies. If you don't want to be despised by his impure man, don't let him see it. β
Hearing Yang Pan say this, Li Yongle also smiled. He remembered the time when everyone was in the National Olympic team together, when they made someone's jokes together, and cried and sweated together for victory and defeat, what a beautiful past!
Yang Pan yawned again, and threw the plate of "Fighting Again" into Li Yongle's backpack: "Aren't you ready yet?" Zhang Jun is almost in Milan! β
Li Yongle looked at the pile of game discs and video discsβthe ones he had planned to bring to Wang Yuβand shook his head: "There's nothing left to clean up." When he comes, let's go. β
β»β»β»
On the plane to Madrid, Spain, Zhang Jun and Li Yongle slept soundly during the afternoon nap, but Yang Pan was not tired.
He knew that Qiu Zhi had a large blood exchange this time, which greatly weakened the power of the veteran players, so how would they feel in the face of the newcomers who poured in all of a sudden? Do they feel out of position and excluded?
As a faction of the National Olympic Committee that has always been influenced by Qiu Zhi's thoughts, they have always looked at those "old guys" unpleasantly.
The open and secret rivalry between the two factions will definitely affect the unity within the national team, and then affect the team's results.
It's okay to say it yourself, and if you can bear it, you can bear it. But a person like Xiang Tao who just entered the National Olympic team and dared to fight with Li Suisheng, what did he not dare to do? I'm afraid that as long as one of the veteran players speaks aggressively, he will go berserk. Ah, there's also a nervous Anke, and the other is the gangster-born "bad boy" Crewe...... None of them are easy to mess with, Xiang Tao and Anke can use their former captains of the National Olympic team to suppress them, but Kru Ke is a person who doesn't even know Qiu Zhi.
Qiu Zhi, how are you going to integrate this team? Yang Pan rubbed his temples and had a headache.
β»β»β»
Qiu Suhui looked at the cup of coffee in front of him, which was already cold, and realized that he had been sitting like this for more than half an hour.
Hu Li just pushed the door and entered, and saw Qiu Suhui, who had just woken up. "Still having a headache about the unity within the team?" He asked, looking at the coffee that was no longer steaming.
Qiu Suhui nodded: "Or what else can I do for it?" The most troublesome people are coming to report. β
Hu Li knew who the people he was talking about were. In the past two days, the team's training camp in Spain has already shown some bad signs. Because Qiu Suhui was promoted from the head coach of the National Olympic team, although he has been an assistant coach of the national team, after all, it has not been a long time, and there is always a sense of isolation from those old players, which makes them feel that Qiu Suhui will only favor the people of the National Olympic Team and cannot make them believe it.
But fortunately, these young players recruited from China have performed quite restrained because of the environment they get along. In the past two days, he Hu Li has also been worried and has spent it without danger.
However, the group of people who will come back soon is different, due to reasons abroad, one by one surnamed Ge Zhang Yang, their existence is bound to intensify the contradictions between the two factions in this team.
plus a Kru who is not familiar with both sides, can't even speak Chinese well, and doesn't have much affection for China; Lee, that's a time bomb.
Tsk, it looks like this training camp is very lively. Hu Li secretly shook his head in his heart, no wonder Xiao Qiu had such a headache.
"Xiao Qiu, I remember you said that there will be no factional disputes in your national team, but now there are two clear factions......"
"I know, I know. In fact, I also expected this situation, Lao Hu, don't you think that it is better for the two factions to be clearly separated than several factions to be entangled and not to distinguish between the enemy and me? Qiu Suhui leaned back on the sofa and said to Hu Li: "My headache now is how to unite the two factions, even if it is only for a short time during the World Cup. β
"Hold a meeting with them every day and talk about the ...... of the three represents"
"Kill me, old Hu ......" Qiu Suhui's posture on the sofa has changed from sitting to lying. No matter what, there is a good saying: there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. I think there will be a way to do it. β
Hu Li looked at his watch: "It's almost time to arrive, do you want to go down and wait for them?" β
Qiu Suhui also looked at his watch: "It's almost to the TorrejΓ³n Airport in Madrid, right?" Well, if you go down a little longer, it's okay to go down now. Let me squint for a while, you think it's almost time, just call me, old Hu. He lay down on the couch and stretched comfortably.
β»β»β»
Yang Pan was surprised that the three of them would see Anke, who was obviously waiting for them, at the exit of Torrejon Airport.
"Shouldn't you and Shao Jiaying arrive earlier than us?" Handing a box to Anke, Yang Pan asked.
"It's a coincidence, I just said this to Wang Hui half an hour ago." Anke led the way in front, "The first to arrive were the five who played in England and Belgium, and Shao Jiaying and I arrived ten minutes later than them. Then everyone met in the lobby and decided to stay and wait for you, and then go to the hotel together. β
"It's really thoughtful, then let's go, I guess Qiu Zhi can't wait." Zhang Jun interjected on the side.
Yang Pan grinned, he couldn't wait? I'm afraid he won't have a headache too late!

In the match between the Chinese team and Spain, Real Madrid FC was very active, not only providing the Chinese team with a hotel, but also giving the Chinese team the best training ground in the Real Madrid Sports City to arrange training.
This sports city is not the new 1.1 million square meter sports city in the northern suburbs of Madrid, but the old sports city of 100,000 square meters in the center of Madrid. The new sports city is still in its rudimentary form - the foundations are being laid everywhere and cannot be used to host the team for training.
as Real Madrid president Florentino; For his part, Perez is eager to further develop the Asian market. Then the training ground of their own team can become the training base of the Chinese team, and the Chinese media will inevitably mention the name of Real Madrid in various reports, and will also introduce the facilities of the Real Madrid Sports City in detail, even the toilet will not be spared. This is undoubtedly a free promotion, which further strengthens the status and reputation of Real Madrid club in the hearts of Chinese fans.
The three taxis stopped in turn at Melia, where they were staying; At the entrance of the hotel in Phoenix, Zhang Jun and his foreign players got out of the car, then took out their luggage and walked towards the hotel gate.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Liu Peng and Zhao Pengyu waiting for him in the lobby.
Zhang Jun went up directly and gave Liu Peng a hug: "How long have we not seen each other, cowshed?" He called Liu Peng's nickname like he did in junior high school.
Liu Peng also hugged Zhang Jun hard: "I haven't seen each other since that time in Maojiawan, Chengdu." β
Zhang Jun let go of Liu Peng: "It's been two and a half years, and a lot of things have happened in between, but I feel like it's still the same as yesterday." How are you doing at home? β
Liu Peng smiled: "That's it, the Central Plains is not a super team, and I can only play in the first division." β
"Didn't any other team buy you?" Zhang Jun was a little surprised.
Liu Peng shook his head, obviously unwilling to continue the topic. It's not that he doesn't want to go, it's not that there are no other teams interested in him, it's that the Central Plains Club can't negotiate with the other party on the price and is unwilling to let go.
Zhang Jun also stopped asking questions with interest.
On the other side, Zhao Pengyu had already called the original Guoao brothers upstairs to come down, and the meeting was a lively one. A group of boys hugged and hugged in the lobby of someone's hotel, screaming and making trouble, among which Xiang Tao was the most active, hugging people when they saw them.
"Oops! Xiaoyu, has your baby lost weight? It can't be the club abusing you, right? β
"Sima lamb, don't frown and smile, that's really ugly!"
"Li Jie, this kid will also be in the national team? The world is in chaos! β
Everyone smiled happily, the teammates of the former National Olympic Games can now reunite with the national team, which is really not easy. You must know that in this national team squad dominated by young players, there are many former national Olympic players who have not been selected for one reason or another.
Crewe stood alone, looking at the faces that were completely unfamiliar, listening to some unintelligible Mandarin and dialects that he didn't understand at all, his face was expressionless.
Zhang Jun stood beside him at some point and asked him in English, "Maybe you are not used to it now, right?" But it will get better slowly. Everyone is very nice, you don't have to worry about anything at all. Hehe! β
Crewe turned his head to look at Zhang Jun, it was the second time they met at the airport, he recognized Zhang Jun and Yang Pan at a glance, Zhang Jun didn't recognize him at first, and pointed to himself and asked Yang Pan who this was, but when he took off his cap, he saw a head of blonde hair and remembered.
This is really an interesting person, although he is six years older than himself, why does he feel that he sometimes does not appear to be mature as himself?
Now, for example, he's enthusiastic. But I didn't think about whether I could get along with the other team members at all. So what was he thinking? In fact, he was just in a daze, thinking nothing.
"Hmm." After all, Zhang Jun was now the most familiar person in this strange team, and Crewe didn't want to embarrass Zhang Jun, so he nodded.
After the quarrel with Xiang Tao and Wang Yu was over, the others found that there was a blonde boy standing next to Zhang Jun. Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on Krewe, Zhang Jun knew that it was time to officially introduce Kru to everyone.
"This is Crewe; Lee, everyone should know, right? β
Everyone sighed: it turned out that he was the Crewe who frequently appeared in various news some time ago; Ah, Lee! It's quite handsome, but that expression is cold and cool to reject people.
Crewe saw that Zhang Jun had already introduced himself, and when he met them for the first time, it would be a bit too much if he didn't even say hello, so he raised his head and said to everyone in Chinese: "Hello everyone! But there was still no expression on his face.
Zhang Jun was a little surprised: "Don't you know how to speak Chinese?" β
"You believe in the lie, it's just an excuse to reject you." Crewe smiled slightly, feeling proud of successfully deceiving Zhang Jun.
Yang Pan was stunned, on the way from the airport to the hotel, he saw Crewe laughing twice, and it was related to Zhang Jun. The first time was at the airport when Zhang Jun didn't recognize Crewe, and the second time was this time. It's just because Zhang Jun once called him, the relationship between the two is not so close, right?
Is it because Zhang Jun has something that others don't have?
Just when Yang Pan was struggling with this problem, the veteran players of the two national teams came to him.
"Wang Hui, Jiaying, Li Yi, you have just arrived? Let's go up and see everyone, you've been waiting for a long time. It was Kong Liang, the defender of the national team, who spoke. When he said this, he didn't pay attention to the other team members around Wang Hui and the three of them at all, and it can be said that he treated them as air.
The laughter disappeared suddenly, and it turned out that there were still people who were laughing and laughing, and they didn't look at the two of them.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Kru was very surprised by this change in everyone, he didn't understand why, and wanted to ask Zhang Jun beside him, but he saw Zhang Jun frowning and looking helpless.
It seems that this national team is not united! Crewe suddenly understood, though he still didn't know why there was no unity.
It's interesting, it's a really interesting situation. This time, Crewe smiled inwardly.
Wang Hui didn't want this meeting to continue to be embarrassing, so he and the other two pulled up the suitcase, greeted Yang Pan and the others, and left with Kong Liang.
And as soon as they entered the elevator, the team members who were still silent again made a fuss, this time they put their interest on another "newcomer" Anke.
Zhang Jun thought that there were some problems that he still had to explain to Crewe, after all, how abnormal the atmosphere was just now, even newcomers who didn't understand anything could see it.
"Uh, I'm sorry I let you see these things on the first day."
"You don't have a good relationship with each other?"
Zhang Jun nodded.
"Why?"
"That's a long story. To put it simply, the national team is now roughly divided into two factions, one is dominated by the veteran players of those national teams, just like the two people you just watched. On the other hand, there are mainly former Olympic players who are now in the national team, and we are all of them. Zhang Jun pointed to the crowd who was joking with "self-cooked" Anke.
Crewe nodded, understood. "It's a battle between the old and new factions."
"You can say the same thing."
"So which faction do I belong to?" Crewe asked. After learning about the current situation of the Chinese team, he did not want to be isolated. The cold expression on his face is just a kind of self-preservation, instinct in the face of strangers. When you get acquainted, you will find that he is actually an interesting person.
"You're on our side, of course." Zhang Jun will not let Crewe go to the opposite side, and the other party will not accept him.
"Well, I know what to do."

In an unnoticed corner.
"Xiao Qiu, why are we staying here secretly? Aren't we coaches? Hu Li looked at Qiu Suhui in front of him in confusion and asked.
Qiu Suhui returned his hand and dragged Hu Li with some excitement: "The enemy is in the light, and we are in the dark." We can hear everything they say clearly, know ourselves and know the enemy, and we will not be defeated in a hundred battles! β
"But we're training, not fighting......"
"Nope! We must fight this as if it were a war! Qiu Suhui turned his head and gave Hu Li a serious expression.
Hu Li wiped his sweat, the Chinese team is a group of troublesome people from the head coach to the players, what awaits us in the World Cup?
;
