The top scorer of this tournament still has only five goals, shared by Antoine Griezmann and Belgian striker Mertens, who is out in the quarter-finals.

Belgium beat all sides in the group stage, with two wins and one draw, Mertens scored his first hat-trick in this World Cup, and scored twice to get the top scorer after only four games, and there is no one. Belgium was also once exclaimed as the biggest surprise of this Cup, but unfortunately the quarterfinals met the Italian team, and were worn to death by the old spicy 1-0 doctrine.

Mertens, Napoli striker, he can be said to be a late bloomer, the 31-year-old has been with Napoli for 5 seasons, although he has performed well in the past season, but he is only a member of the forward rotation substitute, since last season's main center Higuain transferred to Juventus, coupled with the serious injury of new signing Milik, the Belgian winger finally got a steady playing time, so that he was out of control, he was 29 years old that year.

The top scorers in the World Cup have remained at 6 and 5 since 1978, except for Ronaldo, who scored 8 more in 2002, and there are no more Fontaine 13, Kochis's 11, and Muller's 10 such ancient beast statistics, which also illustrates the defensive intensity and more rigorous tactics of modern games.

The French team is undoubtedly the biggest winner of this World Cup, in addition to the championship and top scorer, the Golden Glove award was won by Lloris; The Rookie of the Year is Dembele, who stole the limelight from Mbappe, mainly due to his high number of appearances; Fair Play Award, Portugal, despite their defensive focus, are still the cleanest defensively and least carded team in this Cup; The most ornamental team, Brazil, youth storm, fast dazzle, skill, this is their label for this cup; The best coach, Portugal coach Santos, has led such a team to this point, and he has really contributed to it.

All-star squad (442), Lloris, Guerrero, Pepe, Koscielny, Fabinho, Pogba, Carvalho, Messi (front), Griezmann (front), Ronaldo, Mertens, France, Portugal, Brazil are undoubtedly big players.

This competition, as promised by the Russian side of the organizing committee, is an extremely safe event, without the threat of any terrorist activities, of course, there are still skirmishes between fans from all over the world, there are also troublemakers with alcohol outside the bar, there are injuries and bloodshed, but this is a part of football history, this is an adrenaline rush sport, a contest between countries, and even a small number of British fans want to seek revenge from the Russians under the huge loss of going out of the group stage, but it was extinguished in an instant.

Li Haolong also happened to meet a team of 100 Chinese fans during his time in Russia, and was recognized by them, looking at these lovely fans, Li Haolong felt quite emotional, an event that has nothing to do with China, fans can be like this, if China appears again in the World Cup, what kind of grand occasion should it be.

After the World Cup, Li Haolong's summer window work officially began, and various reports will be piled up on his desk in Birmingham tomorrow.

The Dutch team was out of the group, and Van Dijk was immediately picked up by the Li family's private jet that he had just purchased this summer, and on board was Walfaert, who had been on holiday in Sochi for two weeks, and the plane flew directly to Birmingham, where he needed to receive treatment as soon as possible to minimize the delay of the season.

Unlike Chelsea owner Abramovich, who spent nearly $1 billion to build the world's most luxurious private jet, the Li family bought an Airbus A319 business jet and a Gulfstream G550, yes, two, this is Li Yunliang's proposal, which of the current super-rich in China does not have a private jet, and even entertainment stars like Zhao Benshan have their own private jets, Li Yunliang is only now very low-key.

Originally, it was planned to buy two Gulfstream G550, one was parked in China and one stayed in Birmingham, Gulfstream G550 This is the standard configuration of the big bowl, such as Ma Yun, Li Ka-shing and Wang Jianlin are all this model. However, this model can only take up to 19 people, so Li Haolong chose the Airbus A319 business jet developed on the basis of the A319 prototype, which is cheaper, but can carry 25 people, enough for the number of people in an away game.

This is not a bag, but the need for business now, owning a private jet is the standard configuration of successful clubs, there will be more and more European away games in the future, and more international players will participate in the Africa Cup of Nations, Copa America, so that the players are tired of the journey and trivial matters are not in good condition for the players, with private jets, the soldiers are expensive, and they can fly away after applying for a route, which will save too much time for the club's tight schedule, so that the players can catch up with the game as soon as possible, and it is also out of love for the players.

After the plane arrived in Birmingham, Li Haolong had not yet enjoyed it, all of which were to transport club employees to recuperate and take players to the national team to report, and his World Cup trip with Varnika including going to China was all on his own airline plane, and he did not have this habit for the time being.

The end of the World Cup has come to July, only more than 40 days before the start of the new season, Li Haolong gave the players who participated in the World Cup a two-week vacation, and the players who did not have a national team game also began to assemble in Birmingham.

The day after the game, Li Haolong, Varniga, Lamb, Petrov and the scouting directors who had gone to Russia boarded the A319 business jet and returned to Birmingham together.

This is the first time Li Haolong has taken his own plane, on the top of the clouds, looking at the flowing clouds floating outside the window, his heart is inexplicably quiet.

The space in the plane is very spacious, luxurious interior, equipped with comfortable sofas, complete small bar, everyone can also drink a little wine happily, celebrate home, looking at the comfortable demeanor of the employees, Li Haolong can't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

This is the posture of a wealthy family!
