Chapter 245: Champions League, Our World Cup

******

For Chinese fans, this day can be described as an unfair day, starting with Arlo's hat-trick at the Camp Nou - to raise the prestige of China.

After this game, the passion of the Chinese fans has not faded, and the young men of the national youth team in Peru for the U17 World Youth Championship also brought the same good news to the domestic fans, Ta En in the final round of the group stage, with a score of 1:1 to draw the two-time U17 World Youth Championship Ghana team and advance to the round of 16.

The next day, not only did the country report on Elo's heroic performance of another hat-trick at Camp Nou, but also reported on the young men who were fighting for their country in Peru, and they were also serving their country in their own way.

Although the U17 national youth team is not as dazzling as the U20, it is also worth everyone's attention, and in the case of the continued downturn of the senior national team, the U20 national youth and U17 will support the face of Chinese football.

Moreover, years later...... These new forces of the national youth team will also become an important supplement to the senior national team in the future.

It is also worth mentioning that in the sixth round of the Bundesliga, Gao Lin substituted Krasnic in the 30th minute of the second half, and then in the sixth minute of the substitute, he received a header from striker Ba Klose and scored from nine yards in front of the goal, helping the team narrowly beat Bayer Leverkusen.

It was also Gao Lin's first goal since joining Werder Bremen, and the first goal for three Chinese players in the Bundesliga.

I believe that this issue of the football newspaper will sell very well!

It's going to be another big deal.

******

The next day, the mainstream newspapers of major European media outlets used Iello as the background as the headline of the day, and what caught people's eyes was the eye-catching headline, "Barsac Star!" ”

The text said: "The fourth round of La Liga will start four rounds of competition at the same time, the most notable of which is Valencia's 3:2 away win over the defending champion Barcelona, in which Valencia superstar China Ai scored three goals alone, after scoring a hat-trick at Camp Nou last season, he scored three goals at Camp Nou again, becoming the first player in Barcelona's history to score a hat-trick in two consecutive games, and he will remain in Barcelona's ......history forever."

From the La Liga column of the newspaper As.

Enrique Wien wrote in his column: "Ai has been in the same form as last season, scoring four goals in the three games leading up to this round, tied with David Villa for the top spot in the competition, but after this game he leads the La Liga scorers list with seven goals... By this time, Samuel Eto'o had only scored three and Diego Forlan had only two, both of whom were left far behind, with only his team-mate David Villa close behind in second ......"

"Ai's excellent performance at Camp Nou has also given him a very charming nickname by fellow journalists - Barsac Star, indeed... In both of his games at Camp Nou, Barcelona were in the lead, almost single-handedly beating Barcelona, isn't this what is the Barsac star? I believe... If he continues to play steadily, he will become the banner of our Valencia......"

“…… Four days later, in the first round of the Champions League, I am sure Ai will continue to be in good form and lead Valencia to the same level as they did in La Li......ga."

Although it will be a long time for Airo to become the flag of Valencia, many Valencia loyal fans have already accepted the title in advance, maybe... Isn't that day far off?

*******

"First of all... Of course, thanks to David, who gave me two selfless assists, and secondly...... I would like to thank Juan Carlos of Le Monde Sport for his long-term support of me......"

Iroh on TV continued: "If it weren't for him putting pressure on me when I was not motivated...... There's no way I'm going to score another hat-trick at Camp Nou, for me...... He's the source of my struggle... Because every time I score a goal I always feel like he's been slapped in the face by me......"

"Bring it!" Juan Carlos angrily snatched the remote control of the TV from his wife's hand, then quickly changed the channel, and snorted heavily.

"Damn the Chinese!!"

Juan Carlos is very angry now, and he can't imagine that the previous report not only did not make him crushed by the pressure, but turned into motivation, scoring a hat-trick at Camp Nou again, and more importantly, the Chinese would mock himself at the press conference after the game, which is simply unforgivable!

"Wait for Lao Tzu, I don't believe I can't wait for you to be in a state of nothing..."At this time, a news was reported on TV, and Juan Carlos's attention was drawn to it...

"In four days' time, the new UEFA Champions League season will begin, and the 32 teams will face a two-front battle in their home league and the UEFA Champions League, with defending champions Barcelona, Real Madrid, Valencia and Villarreal playing for La Liga, and these four teams will support the ...... of La Liga"

……

……

"Valencia finished third in La Liga last season, but they have already topped the league in the first four rounds of this season, and the last round was an away win over the mighty Barcelona, maybe ...... There is a certain fantasy to be held in the new season of the Champions League......"

“…… The problem is that Valencia's bench depth does not seem to be very good this season, and the fast horses on the side are Vicente and China Ai, but now Vicente is still recovering, and the first four rounds of games are all Chinese Ai supporting Valencia's attack, and he is only a 19-year-old young player who has no experience in the Champions League before, and more importantly, the Champions League is different from La Liga, and the level is higher!! And he's under so much pressure... Will it continue to turn pressure into motivation, or will it ......"

"Daily Sports" Champions League Spotting.

When Juan Carlos saw this, his eyes rolled and he had a plan.

"Hey, hey... Aren't you crazy, boy? The new UEFA Champions League season will be the beginning of your depravity......"

Immediately after that, he said to his wife, "I'll go to the study to write...", and then got up and walked to the study, his heart had already thought of how to smear Iroh, and even made up his mind...... We will not stop if we do not kick this Chinese into the abyss!

******

After the entire Valencia squad returned to the training base, Flores did not give the players a day off like last season's coach Claudio Ranieri, but began training after returning to the base.

Four days later, the home game against the Nerazzurri Inter Milan will be a tough one!

Although Inter Milan at this time is not as starry as Ronaldo's time, it is also a traditional powerhouse in Serie A, and it is not so easy to lose when facing opponents like Juventus and AC Milan.

After all, this is Flores' first Champions League game, and it would be false to say that he is not nervous, and men tend to care very much about their first time, especially when it has such a heavy meaning.

In Mestalla, he will never allow the team to draw or lose, plus the last round away beat Barcelona, the confidence is even more bursting, but when facing the team training, he is still very cautious and meticulous.

From this aspect, it is not difficult to see the importance that Flores is focusing on this match.

During the intense preparation for the game, Flores still received good news, the veteran team doctor Hernandez finally told him that Vicente is recovering well and will be able to appear in the Champions League in midweek, but as the team doctor, he still kindly reminded Flores, trying to let him get used to the rhythm of the field first.

Of course, Flores knew about this, so he just waved his hand to show that he understood.

******

With the European leagues coming to an end, all eyes are on the UEFA Champions League in midweek, with a number of other national journalists close to the training base in Valencia.

Especially Italian journalists, second only to Chinese journalists and Spanish local journalists, it seems that this group stage of the first round of the Champions League is very important for the Italian side.

Of course, this is also because of the gradual decline in the competitiveness of Serie A, in order to revert Serie A to the 'mini-World Cup' of the year, Serie A teams must have convincing strength in the Champions League, and the first round of the Champions League group stage will be the time for Serie A teams to prove themselves.

Iroh is one of the most popular players in Spain lately, and not one of them.

And in Europe, it also occupies the headlines of the newspaper for a day.

Two days ago, a hat-trick at the Camp Nou made countless senior experts fall through the glasses, and there is really someone in this world who has scored a hat-trick in two consecutive games at the Camp Nou, and countless fans were stunned after Iello completed this great feat.

That's too fierce, isn't it?

Therefore, Valencia's Champions League in the new season is equally eye-catching.

******

Similarly, for Chinese football, the new season of the UEFA Champions League is also an exciting day, Valencia, Werder Bremen, Schalke 04, Ajax, Lyon, these teams all have a Chinese player, and the most important thing is that these players have been registered by their respective clubs to participate in this season's UEFA Champions League.

Now, it seems that Chinese football will enter another peak.

As Shepchenko once said: "My country is not a football powerhouse, so maybe I won't have the opportunity to play in the World Cup in my career... Therefore, the final of the Champions Cup is my World Cup ......"

Therefore, this issue of Chinese football newspapers seems to have reached some kind of agreement, and they have all made "Our World Cup" the headline of this issue.

The 2006 World Cup in Germany did not have a shadow of the Chinese team, but this year there were six young people from China who were participating in their own World Cup in a different way.

This is also another kind of spiritual condolence.

Although there is no shadow of China in the World Cup in Germany in one year, what about the World Cup in South Africa five years later? I believe that by this time... It's time for the leadership of the Football Association to change, and when the time comes...... Maybe the incompetent Football Association will be replaced by a leader who does the work?

This...... Who can tell?

Anyway...... Just think about the best place.

PS: There is a poll in the comment office, and I hope that those who are free can participate in it.
