The Macau team was also a disguised opening attack, but it did so through an aggressive defense.

After 30 minutes, Iraq is actually starting to get used to this rhythm, after all, Macau is still far from the level of European teams.

The current Macau team does have a large number of players in Europe, but except for Shen Yi and Thiago, the rest are not players from the four major leagues.

Not only are they not at the level of a true European powerhouse, but they are not even at the level of a second-tier European team.

The Macau team at this meeting is also in the case of Zhang Gongzi, and can barely fight with the third-tier teams in Europe, such as Ireland, Finland, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, but if they really match, most of them will have a high probability of losing.

But if you meet second-tier European teams such as Poland, Wales, and Sweden, then Zhang Gongzi's presence will be able to make everyone lose more decently.

Therefore, as long as Iraq adapts to the high-imitation European style of play of the Macau team, it can actually fight back.

However, Macau did not give the Iraqis that chance, and they had already completed their best tactical goal with a two-goal lead in the first 30 minutes.

As a result, the morale and form of the Iraqis will drop to the bottom, and it will be difficult to turn back the game.

The most important thing is the Macau team, which can now safely retreat to play defensive counterattacks, which makes Iraq have to force the attack.

But with their state and morale, they naturally hit a heavy city wall directly!

At this time, we have to mention this unfortunate home field of Iraq.

Today, the Prince Abdullah Stadium, which can accommodate more than 30,000 spectators, has about the same number of fans from Macao and Iraq as there are 15,000 local fans.

What made the Iraqi players most depressed was that most of the 15,000 neutral fans at the scene were supporters of the Macau team.

In other words, they are all fans of Zhang Gongzi.

This makes today's real home team actually the Macau team!

That's a piece of!

Under these circumstances, Iraq simply does not have the preconditions for turning defeat into victory.

In the final period of the first half, their attack not only failed to create enough threat for the Macau team, but was always used by the Macau team to seize the loopholes behind them to launch counterattacks.

In the end, after wasting a few chances, Thiago still finished with his explosive power of 90!

The score of 3:0 in the first half also announced that Iraq could not turn the tables, after all, there is still a Zhang Gongzi who can play at any time under the field, this is a freshly baked "World Footballer" + "Mr. Golden Ball", which can scare these Asian teams to death!

But this score also made the fans at the scene very depressed, because it meant that Zhang Desheng would probably not play.

They guessed wrong, Zhang Desheng can indeed not play.

But for the sake of the fans who support him on the scene, especially those Chinese fans who come from afar, he must be on the court.

Therefore, after Zhang Desheng came off the bench in the second half, more than 20,000 fans who were originally disappointed at the scene suddenly smiled.

However, Zhang Desheng didn't play too seriously, although he took the ball a lot of times, but it was a meaningless show of footwork, and he passed the ball out after two shows.

This is also to prevent the opponent's dog from jumping off the wall after hurting people, and the second half of the Macau team is basically based on delaying the ball, and rarely attacks for the purpose of scoring goals.

Playing like this will actually make the game boring, but fortunately, Zhang Gongzi's footwork is really good, which does not make everyone feel that today's precious ticket and round-trip ticket are too worthless.

Of course, as long as the Macau team can win, then everything is just a sideline!

The final score was 3:1, and the Macau team was not allowed to seek a goal difference in this game, but only needed to eat Iraq away from home.

They have now achieved their goal almost perfectly, with an overall goal difference of five more than Iraq's.

This means that as long as they don't overturn Uzbekistan and Singapore, Iraq will have to win by five goals at their home stadium to fight the line.

Of course, this is based on the premise that they do not win more goals than Iraq against the other two teams.

The next task for Macau is to score as many goals as possible against Uzbekistan and Singapore.

If we can increase the goal difference against Iraq by one or two, and then we don't have to kick it, the Iraqis themselves will be completely desperate.

But just as desperate as the Iraqis are Kuwait!

China's first team match was set on the same day as Macau's team, and they beat Malaysia 4-0 in Guangzhou a little later!

In this way, the same team that has won all three games is not as brilliant as Macau in goal difference.

But the two of them are 1:0, the other is 4:0, and they haven't conceded a single goal in three games, which is better than the Macau team.

At this time, Kuwait, who were in the same group as the first team, had a slightly more goal difference, but they lost 0:1 to China in the first game, which was fatal.

Therefore, Kuwait already feels that the probability of qualifying is not high.

This also makes Chinese fans really happy like a holiday, and it just so happens that these days are really within the Spring Festival holiday, which is really joyful!

But Zhang Gongzi couldn't feel the atmosphere of the Spring Festival in China anymore, he got on the plane back to Spain the next day, and the first game he played against Real Zaragoza, who also played for Shen Yi, who had just landed not long ago.

Needless to say, Barcelona defeated Zaragoza 4:1 directly at home, and Zhang Gongzi scored a brace to stage the return of the king, not saving face for his teammates in the Macau team at all.

Shen Yi can't take care of these at this time, he and Zaragoza's current task is to relegate and strive to stay in La Liga next season.

As for beating Barcelona, of course, it was never in their calculations.

A week later, Barcelona beat Real Mallorca 3-0 away, and Zhang was once again voted Man of the Match with two assists!

After that, it's a big tournament that has been prepared since the winter break - Champions League, Manchester United!

In the round of 16 of the Champions League, the first place in the group is the order of away and then home, so Barcelona will go to Manchester to face Manchester United in the first leg.

The day after they played Mallorca, they left for Manchester early.

That's because Zhao Yuting provided them with a training venue and even hosted a banquet on the day of their arrival to entertain the first-team members of both teams, which was attended by players from both teams.

Zhang Gongzi also met several old teammates at the banquet, such as Deco, Carvalho, and Demichelis, but McCarthy was no longer able to play and was loaned back to Porto.

Barcelona did have some thoughts when they met Deco, who was naturally at the heart of the midfield at Manchester City this season.

His steady and excellent play in midfield made Eto'o, Berbatov and Luka Toney in front of him all charge to their heart's content.

At this time, Manchester City is more competitive in the overall Premier League, and this season has always occupied the top position, playing so far only one league loss, but also in the League Cup, FA Cup, League Cup are all in the same position, and now they are attacking the great cause of the Quadruple.

This has also made the nominal core of the team Deco quite strong this season, at this time his assists have broken through double digits and scored six goals.

If he really leads Manchester City to win the quadruple crown, even if it is just a triple crown, then this year's "World Footballer" and "Golden Ball Award", Deco will have a ticket to accompany Zhang Gongzi.

But if Zhang Desheng fails to win the most important Champions League, Deco will win all the four crowns, even if it is just a League Cup version of the quadruple crown, it can actually really threaten Zhang Gongzi.

So Barcelona's idea of exchanging Deco alone is really not looking down on Xiao Luo.

At this stage, if the two of them are exchanged for each other, it is really impossible to say who earns and who loses!

But the problem is that Deco doesn't want to assist Zhang Gongzi anymore, and if he is killed now, he will not agree to be Zhang Desheng's junior brother again.

He relied on his status as a treble champion in Manchester City, although the talented teammates around him may not be convinced of him, but in terms of seniority and immediate combat power, everyone just has to revolve around him.

Therefore, at this time, Deco is the real core of Manchester City, and he is basically the same as Zidane of Real Madrid here, which is so cool!

He even has the confidence to lead the team to kill Barcelona head-on, but unfortunately Manchester City last season was fifth in the Premier League and can't play in the Champions League this season!

But next season, he really wants to take Manchester City, which is stronger than this year, to the Champions League to find Zhang Desheng to touch!

At the banquet, Zhang Desheng actually felt Deco's overflowing self-confidence, as well as the reunion of old friends on the surface, but the desire to win in his heart was irrepressible!

He can also guess what this old teammate is thinking, and he must be holding back his strength to beat him and prove himself!

But to be honest, he's really not sure he's going to be able to take down this Manchester City team!

If Chelsea is the most expensive person to buy, then Manchester City is whoever has the ability to play and who has the talent to buy whomever they want.

The most damn thing is the accuracy of Boss Zhao, a buyer, who is just like a traverser who opens up!

Just take a look at Manchester City's starting and main rotation lineup this season -

Up front: Samuel Eto'o, Berbatov, Lukatoni

Midfielders: Malouda, Mascherano, Deco, Yaya Toure, Alonso, Rosicky, Wright

Backfield: Sun Jihai, Carvalho, Demichelis, Dunn, McConn

Goalkeeper: Cesar

This is Manchester City's main + rotation lineup, and basically none of them are rookies.

Zhang Desheng is naturally not sure of winning against this outrageous lineup.

City don't have a real top star at left-back, and the competition for the rest of the positions is too fierce.

Dunn, the captain of the Irish national team, was unable to sit in the main force, and Mascherano, Toure and Rosicky had to switch back and forth in various positions to play enough games.

The most rookie Wright was in the full-back position, and he was stunned by Sun Jihai, who changed to left-back, and right-back McCone to squeeze into the midfield, but this made him play in the England national team.

Such a terrifyingly strong team still firmly holds the top spot in the Premier League, even if they go hand in hand on multiple fronts.

Who makes them really not afraid of the devil's schedule of the Premier League, many times the combat effectiveness of their second team may not even be weaker than the first team.

So two days later, when Zhang Gongzi saw the Manchester United players on the field again, he naturally didn't feel any pressure, and the gap between the two teams was too big at this time.

February 23rd, "Old Trafford", weather: cloudy + cold!

Today's "Theatre of Dreams" is as cold as Manchester, but even less virtuous than England!

This is because part of the roof of the stadium is leaking, and there is virtue in the water, which is so fitting for the country and the team at this time.

Well, combined with the chill and biting chill, it makes the atmosphere of this stadium more like a graveyard!

Manchester United have been miserable this season, they have been pressed under their rivals Manchester City in the league, not only have they long been away from the competition for the top three, but they have also been competing with Liverpool for the position of Champions League vice-captain.

But at the start of this game, they were overtaken by Liverpool by one point in the Premier League and had fallen to an embarrassing position in fifth place.

Therefore, we can see that whether it is the fans at home or the elderly Manchester United generals, their spirit is not strong enough!

At this time, some Manchester United fans, as well as close media, even felt that Manchester United would not go far in the Champions League anyway, and simply went out of the group with dignity.

That way they can focus on the league and try to keep their Champions League qualification for next season.

The idea is also easy to understand, as the two protagonists of Manchester are in opposite situations.

Manchester United's team, just like the "Old Trafford Stadium" that is still old after the expansion, even if they bring in young talents such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, it is still difficult to hide the continuous leakage of a group of heroes in the twilight stage.

This kind of thing is also quite sad, after all, they were also young, and they were also high-spirited and prosperous back then...... and then when you are old, the sword is not old...... But now, many people are only old-fashioned, and even rely on the old to sell the old......

"I'm not going to get this far, am I?"

Zhang Desheng suddenly had a thought, but immediately shook his head.

He will never allow himself to be thrown off the stage like a dog, and he will retreat bravely in the world when he is still beautiful, saving him a lifetime of fame and ending up with the original plane Ronaldo who was ridiculed by the whole world.

Of course, today he wants to play the role of a senior who will be on the stage and still refuse to leave, kicking off the stage!

Is it cruel?

That's right!

This time, he is not ready to let the other party stay decent anymore!

He's going to die with this team full of honor!

Manchester United's starting XI today -

Front: Wayne Rooney (83), Cristiano Ronaldo (84)

Midfielders: Ryan Giggs (87), Keane (84), Scholes (87), Quinton (82)

Back: Heinze (85), Rio Ferdinand (89), Brown (85), Neville (84)

Goalkeeper: Carroll (81)

How to say this, Manchester United's lineup is not to mention playing with Barcelona, it is estimated that if the first and second teams of China are merged, then the new Chinese football is estimated to be able to defeat under the leadership of Zhang Gongzi!

Of course, the main reason why Manchester United is so weak in the squad is that center forward Ruud van Nistelrooy and goalkeeper Howard are all injured.

This made Carroll, a strange goalkeeper, embarrassed, and Ronaldo was forced to move up the front line.

Barcelona have actually suffered injuries, but their main injuries are the defenders in the midfield, and after the first few painful periods, Oleg, who is a descendant, has finally adapted to the rhythm of the starting line-up and is getting better and better.

Rijkaard also listened to Zhang Gongzi's suggestion to let Xiao Luo go to the back position at a tactical meeting that Zhang Gongzi attended half a month ago.

Then, he really moved Ronaldo to the back in the league against Zaragoza.

Zhang Gongzi, this can be ...... It's so TM broken!

But don't say that such an arrangement is unreasonable!

Ronaldo's defensive ability is already underrated, and his physical fitness before full indulgence is also very good, and the explosiveness of 94 + 90 speed is actually a little worse than Eto'o's, including the physical confrontation is also first-class.

Looking at it this way, Xiao Luo is actually a free man in the midfield.

As long as he wants to, he can be competent in any position in the midfield and frontcourt, after all, the hard power and talent are all there, except for "reaction" and "calmness", it is really not bad for Zhang Gongzi.

But Zhang Desheng, who was going to do this, suddenly became serious about the thought that had just arisen-

"New China Football?"

After Zhang Desheng didn't know why such an idea suddenly popped up just now, he really felt that this was also a path that he could choose in the future!

There is indeed a possibility that this idea can be implemented, and can China's first and second teams really not be merged?

This can indeed be merged, but he must lead the Macau team to present the results first, and then force the body to reorganize the foot bucket.

It is better to merge the "Macau Football Association" and the "Football Bucket", and then all people and things will be implemented according to a new set of rules and structures, so as to sweep away the real cancer!

If there is no such premise, then there is no point in merging the first team and the second team, and in the end, it is better to change the soup and not the medicine!

Zhang Desheng quickly shook his head when he thought of this, let's think about this matter in the future.

Today's task is the Champions League one-eighth knockout round, and it is to kick Manchester United to the point of disintegration!

Barcelona starter -

Frontcourt: Zhang Desheng (91, 1985, 183cm), Oliveira (88, 1980, 183cm), Giuli (89, 1976, 164cm)

Midfielders: Xavi (90, 1980, 170 cm), Ronaldo (90, 1980, 182 cm), Andres Iniesta (86, 1984, 171 cm)

Back: Van Bronckhorst (86, 1975, 177 cm), Oleg (86, 1980, 187 cm), Puyol (88, 1978, 178 cm), Belletti (88, 1976, 179 cm).

Goalkeeper: Valdés (87, 1982, 183cm)

Barcelona's lineup is indeed more than a cut above Manchester United, especially the iron triangle on the left side of the middle is 90+ per capita, this combination is really who touches who's big!

But the scary thing is that not only Zhang Desheng, Xiao Luo, and Xavi can form an iron triangle, in fact, Oliveira + Giuli + Iniesta, these three form a small triumvirate, which is also enough for most teams to drink a pot.

Iniesta here seems to be the most strained in terms of combat power, but if it is really simply compared to the ability to break through and pass with the ball, then Xavi may not be stronger than Iniesta at this time.

Especially in terms of continuous passing ability in a small area, Iniesta is the second person in the Barcelona team after Zhang Desheng and Giuli.

Ronaldo is not good at continuous breakthroughs in a small area, and Messi's body and technique are not yet mature.

"See you again, waste!"

Zhang Desheng still felt that the contrast of combat power was not big enough, so when the players of the two teams greeted each other before the game, he directly said a trash word to Ferdinand, who had a grudge against him.

Then I saw Ferdinand's combat power on the system directly -1!
