Chapter 246: The first person in the Champions League

******

When Iroh faced the interview with the Chinese reporter, he seemed very natural, "Our World Cup? Scold... Very aptly described! Maybe it's really like you said, maybe we really won't be able to participate in the World Cup, but we will cherish our 'World Cup', and I'm sure our watch won't disappoint the fans in China, of course, ......" Then he thought of a question, "It doesn't seem like I was the first to appear, right?" ”

It was only at this time that these domestic reporters suddenly realized that according to the schedule given by UEFA, the first to appear were Chen Tao of Ajax in Group B, and Gao Lin of Werder Bremen in Group C.

Then the question arises... Will these two be able to stand out in the first game of the Champions League?

At this point, they only have confidence in Aillo, after all, people who can win the top scorer in La Liga, the top scorer and the best player in the World Youth Championship are not people who can look at it from the eyes of ordinary people.

Immediately, these reporters went to Amsterdam to interview Chen Tao, who was preparing for the war.

Chen Tao was a little surprised and a little shy when facing domestic reporters, because the Eredivisie has started six rounds of matches and has not seen such a large lineup of Chinese media.

Yes, of course... Except for the World Junior Championships.

"Just like Ai Ge said, do your best to do your best, I won't disappoint the domestic fans..."The reporters were also very satisfied after hearing Chen Tao's extraordinary answer.

It seems that there is a drama in the Champions League in the new season!

Later, the reporters took the train to Bremen, and after saying hello to the Werder Bremen club, they interviewed Gao Lin in the air.

It is worth mentioning that when Gao Lin greeted Chinese reporters, he also talked and laughed with Klose, the team's top scorer, and seemed to have a very good relationship.

Indeed, the current Klose can be said to be half of Gao Lin's master, and he was able to score a goal in the last round of the game, and Klose's header ferrying contributed a lot, and he usually gave Gao Lin a lot of guidance.

When facing Chinese reporters, Gao Lin, like Chen Tao, was a little surprised and shy, "Oh? Our World Cup? But... I may not be as lucky as Taozi and Ai Ge, but I will train hard and try to get a chance to play..."

While the mainstream sports media in China paid full attention to the UEFA Champions League in midweek, the players of the Chinese national youth team at the U17 World Youth Championship in Peru also began their journey to the 1/8 finals.

However, they did not reach the quarter-finals like the Under-20 national youth team, losing 5-1 to European champions Turkey in the quarter-finals.

The next day, the news appeared on the sub-columns of the two major football newspapers, "Sports Daily" and "Football Newspaper", "U17 national youth soldiers defeated Peru World Youth Championship..."

Originally, the U17 national youth team was able to reach the top 16 has fulfilled the expectations of domestic fans, and they all know that there are no players as demonic as Ailo in this national youth team, and they can't expect to win the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands like the U20 national youth team, which is already very good.

To everyone's surprise, at this year's U17 World Youth Championships in Peru, the Chinese national youth team still made a discovery, and it was a big discovery - that is, Wang Xiaolei, the youngest goalkeeper in the national youth team.

In the first game, facing the Costa Rica team, he made a high save and low block, and defused the opponent's threatening shots several times, especially after the team sent off a person, he played even better and tried to protect the goal.

In the second crucial group stage win over hosts Peru, he made 11 key saves, seven of which were must-scores, and two of those seven must-have goals were one-on-one.

If there is no victory in this game, this national youth team can only be out of the tournament with three consecutive draws.

Moreover, his excellent table xiàn... The best goalkeeper for this edition of the World Youth Championship in Peru has been booked in advance.

On the day when the Chinese national youth team was out, the Chinese XX Football Association received a request from the European club to invite Wang Xiaolei to go to Europe for a trial, but in the case of extreme efficiency, this matter was dragged to 2006.

Of course, that's an afterthought... Leave it at ease.

"Iroh said that in his first Champions League, he will definitely do his best to help the team win the game and ...... Like Chen Tao of Ajax who made his debut first, and Gao Lin of Werder Bremen, they are full of confidence in their future, of course... Zhao Xuri of Lyon and Hao Junmin of Schalke 04, who appeared later, all expressed their longing for the future... Perhaps, we can really expect more from these teams... Especially Valencia, who are at the top of La Liga this season......"

From the front page of Football Newspaper "Champions League, our World Cup" summary.

At the same time, Valencia Sport, the best-selling newspaper in Valencia, also made an important assessment: "Although the first game is against the most powerful Inter Milan, the whole team is full of confidence in this game, David Villa and Ai are in extraordinary form, and I believe that the central defender partnership of Córdoba and Materazzi will certainly not be able to stop their progress......"

“…… And the results of Inter Milan in the new season do not seem to be ideal, in the first four rounds of Serie A, they won one win, drew two and lost two, scored four goals but conceded seven goals, which also shows that Inter Milan did not inherit the Italian tradition - concrete defense, so ...... We have every reason to get our first win of the new Champions League season, the first three points, at the Mestalla..."

Of course, at this time... Naturally, Juan Carlos of Le Monde Sports is indispensable.

“…… If Valencia were to be complacent about beating mighty Barcelona away from home thanks to the Chinese boy's three goals, then a defeat awaits them in the Champions League, and they will end up in the same group as last season, finishing third in this season's UEFA Cup, perhaps...... They have a good chance of winning the UEFA Cup three times in a row......"

“…… Or believe me, as long as you give up this Chinese kid, your future must be bright, as long as you no longer rely on one person, Valencia will be an incomparably strong whole that can trample any team under your feet... Champions League, naturally, it will be captured......"

Since Juan Carlos watched that issue of "Daily Sports" for the Champions League, he was very excited, since he couldn't let that Chinese kid be crushed by the pressure, then he had to change another way, using the method of attacking from the side to make Flores dissatisfied with Iro.

But if Flores is to be dissatisfied with Ailo, then the only way to do it is to look at Valencia as a whole.

That's why Juan Carlos came up with the idea of reporting such a nonsensical article in his column.

However, there is something commendable about this report, even the person in question, Flores, praised Juan Carlos, and actually knew that Valencia was a whole, and finally ...... Flores' words made Juan Carlos so angry that his mouth was crooked.

"Only those who have a problem with their brains will give up Ai, who is in great form, he will be our number one attack, and I believe he will surprise us at the Mestalla Stadium......"

This time, Juan Carlos really stole a handful of rice.

On the first match day of the Champions League in midweek, Channel CCAV-5 also took care of the Chinese fans and put the match between Ajax and Rennes, Switzerland, into the live broadcast ranks.

Although many people expressed doubts about this live broadcast, no one objected!

Because in this game, Chen Tao will start in the Ajax team, and this is the news sent after the starting list is determined, so the fans only look forward to it and do not question it.

And at the same time... Chen Tao also became the first person in the history of Chinese football in the Champions League before Iroh in the presence of all Chinese fans!

For such a meaningful day, of course, no one will stand up and sing the opposite, this pure fragmentation is just looking for scolding!

If time hadn't allowed, Iroh would have been ready to fly to Amsterdam to witness such a meaningful game.

Thinking of this, Iroh couldn't help but sob, he wasn't an emotional person, never had been!

But at this time, he has to be proud of the results of his hard work for more than a year, and no one knows the results of himself and the players of the golden generation of the national youth in his previous life better than him.

What an ironic result since Hao Junmin left Schalke 04 in 2011, no Chinese have appeared in Europe's top leagues?

Is this the so-called sports powerhouse?

No! Only when the three major balls completely break out of Asia and go to the world...... That's a real sports powerhouse!

In the mixed area of the Amsterdam Stadium, dozens of high-spirited Chinese journalists stood talking and laughing, and the theme song of the UEFA Champions League "champions-league" was already playing on the stadium

The song is a religious ode to the UEFA Champions League in the style of master Gondel, with simple lyrics that are repeated in UEFA's three official languages – French, German and English – "They are the champions" and "They are the best team".

Soon, the game began...

Chen Tao, who wore the No. 10 white jersey, looked particularly eye-catching on the Amsterdam Stadium.

Originally, Ajax introduced Chen Tao just to make up for the vacancy of captain Van der Vaart's departure, but what I didn't expect was that Chen Tao would integrate into the team so quickly, and the league started six rounds, and handed over the number of goals scored one goal and three assists, which is a full score for a young player who has just joined the team!

The game ended with Ajax beating Swiss team Thun 4-0.

Among them, Chen Tao directly assisted one goal and instigated two goals, which became one of the highlights of the game.

Chen Tao's successful appearance in the UEFA Champions League has also become the first Chinese player in the UEFA Champions League!
