Before a storm, it is usually calm.

Barcelona, which is favored by the whole world, and Liverpool, which is painted in black, are quiet during this waiting period, and everyone is concentrating on preparing for the earth-shattering battle!

On May 14, Barcelona hosted Levante.

Rijkaard fielded most of the starters in this game, but everyone's mind was long off the league, and even Catalan fans were more concerned about the shirt retirement ceremony before the game.

Zhang Gongzi was very worried about this, because he didn't officially wear the No. 50 jersey, and Barcelona forcibly retired the jersey for him.

But at first, he felt that it was not bad for him, and it was even beneficial for him to increase his influence.

However, if he was as smart as he didn't expect that after this number was retired, from the team owner to the club's senior management, everyone immediately advised him not to score any more goals, otherwise wouldn't this hanging number be embarrassing?

"I'm Cao, who are waiting for me here?"

Zhang Desheng really didn't expect that he would fall into the pit like this, but the outrageous thing is that he can't refuse yet.

"Made, is this because I am afraid that I will create a more terrifying record, so I deliberately used the retired number to surround Wei to save Zhao, and prevent me from continuing to break the record?"

Zhang Gongzi had a very dark idea, he felt that this was the case, this was really grassy!

But the wood is already in the boat, and it is useless for him to regret it.

So after the pre-game jersey number retirement ceremony, although Zhang Desheng still started, his position has become a midfielder, and Xiao Luo was put in the position of nine and a half instead.

This made Xiao Luo very happy, but the corners of the Brazilian elf's mouth only curled up for half the time, as Barcelona and Levante in the relegation zone played back and forth, Xiao Luo did not complete the goal until the end of the first half, and Barcelona was also 0:1 behind in the first half.

But this embarrassing result can't complain anything to Zhang Gongzi, because Zhang Desheng, who played in the midfield today, is constantly delivering shells to the striker, and people are very dedicated to this cameo position.

Xiao Luo complained at most that Zhang Gongzi didn't show the strength to break through, but this was also the head coach's order, and he told everyone before the game that no injury should be the first premise before the Champions League final.

This makes everyone play very restrained, including Xiao Luo himself, who doesn't fight so hard, so no one is to blame for not scoring goals.

Zhang Desheng was replaced with Xiao Luo in the second half, and in the end, Barcelona actually overturned in the away face of the La Liga underdog Levante.

At this time, Xiao Luo's previous smile naturally shifted to Zhang Gongzi's face, because this mistake became: Zhang Gongzi doesn't score, you can't even score a goal when you play Levante, it's really all up to Zhang Gongzi to score alone!

But after the game, no one laughed at Barcelona's crotch pull, because Liverpool only lost to Crystal Palace in the relegation zone yesterday, and they couldn't hold on to the sixth place, isn't this more crotch-pulling than them?

"It's miserable!"

After Zhang Desheng glanced at the Premier League rankings the next day, he also felt that if Liverpool could not win the Champions League this season, it would be too miserable!

After the defeat to Crystal Palace, they were now on the same level as Bolton, sitting in sixth place on goal difference.

If there is any surprise in the future, Liverpool will not even be able to play in the UEFA Cup next season if they lose to Barcelona, as they have already been eliminated in the FA Cup.

But this is not good news for Barcelona, the worse Liverpool are in the league, the more desperate they are in the Champions League final!

Zhang Gongzi shook his head when he thought of this, the next round of La Liga is on the 22nd, and he doesn't know if he will play.

But three days later, he will have to watch two crucial international matches.

On 17 May, it was the first international break of the month.

The last group game of the Chinese team and the Macau team was all scheduled on this day.

Of course, the result of the match between Macau and Iraq is no longer important.

Therefore, the European players of the Macau team did not go back this time, and the Macau team sent a full substitute lineup to play in this game.

However, the final battle between the Chinese team and the Hong Kong team on the other side is the focus of many Asian countries.

However, the focus is not on whether the Chinese team can win, but on how many goals they have to score.

The Macau team's game was played first in the afternoon, and Zhang Gongzi naturally took a look at his team first.

Today's Macau team fielded a starting lineup at home that was too young, even a little humiliating-

Front: Wang Xinxin (74, 1981, 180cm), Gao Lin (69, 1986, 185cm).

Midfielders: Wang Zhen (71, 1986, 180cm), Lin Guanghu (70, 1983, 185cm), Huang Haoran (69, 1986, 171cm), Luka (69, 1986, 176cm).

Back: Yang Feng (74, 1985, 181 cm), Feng Xiaoting (70, 1985, 187 cm), Wang Qiang (71, 1985, 184 cm), Zhu Biao (74, 1986, 183 cm).

Goalkeeper: Kong Xiaochuan (78, 1984, 189cm)

Even Zhang Gongzi felt that he looked down on people too much, but head coach Liao Qimin was really not arrogant and underestimated, because this lineup represents the future.

This is a set of future-oriented youth teams that the Macau team has spent all their efforts on in recent years, and most of them will be brought to next year's World Cup and will be developed as the core framework of the 2010 World Cup.

To put it bluntly, the first batch of Macau players, led by F4, will serve as the main framework for the 06 World Cup; And many of these Macao players will become the main framework of the 10-year World Cup!

As for the powerful factions they poached from the Super League, although their combat power is slightly higher than these newcomers, it is far worse than their potential.

Therefore, since there is not much difference in strength, from Liao Qimin to Boss Zhao, of course, they all think that it is better to give more opportunities to young people to see big scenes, because they are the future of the Macau team.

As for qualifications and connections, this kind of thing does not exist in the current Macau team, because even Zhang Gongzi, who has become a senior, is only how old!

Of course, after ten or eight years later, when F4 and these stars of hope have become old oilers, will they also start to talk about human sophistication at that time? Got started talking about qualifications and connections?

Well, of course, it can't be avoided, even if it's not worldly even abroad?

But how to solve it in the future is not something to worry about now, they have to trust the wisdom of future generations.

The Macau team's tender lineup is naturally better than the potential to beat Iraq in seconds, but the combat power is inevitably worse.

The main problem is age, and the combat effectiveness of these overly young players is very serious, such as confrontation, physical fitness, tactics and experience.

But in terms of technique, running and jumping, spirituality, and daring to fight, they are the dominant side.

This is a great test of the head coach's ability, but unfortunately Liao Qimin is a bit rigid and has not been able to adapt to individual conditions and make arrangements according to changes.

Fortunately, the Iraqi side knew that they would not be able to advance no matter what, so they also sent a semi-main lineup.

So in the first half, you came and went on both sides, so lively!

Although the young players of the Macau team have some personal heroism and try whimsy when cooperating, after all, the talent is there, and they played a half-main Iraq at home, even if they wasted a lot of opportunities and made a lot of experience mistakes, they still played 2:2 in the first half.

Liao Qimin's midfield adjustment, especially the substitution in the second half, was very targeted, and finally relied on the talent of crushing and the home advantage, the Macau team still narrowly defeated the semi-main Iraq 4:3, and actually used such a set of national Olympic team lineup to complete the group stage victory and promotion.

But overall, Liao Qimin's performance today can only score 70 points, which is still a lot worse than the world's famous coach.

Zhang Gongzi didn't blame Liao Qimin for being a little rigid, and at the same time he would continue to support Liao Qimin, because although he was not top enough, he at least had the potential to grow into a second-rate top coach, at least stronger than Alihan, and higher than Gao Hongbo's ceiling.

That's enough, they spend a lot of money, although they can also bring in coaches of Lippi or Milou's level.

But the consensus between him and Boss Zhao is: I would rather give it to the people of the country than to give it to friends!

Therefore, as long as Liao Qimin keeps improving and keeps up with the development of international football, then the Macau team will always give him opportunities.

If it really comes to the point where it is impossible not to change in the future, it is also a priority to cultivate excellent domestic coaches, and inviting foreign coaches to coach is definitely the last option.

Winning or losing on the Macau team's side will not affect the result of the promotion, and today Zhang Gongzi and the majority of Chinese fans are mainly focused on the Chinese team.

Although everyone knows that as long as the Chinese team is not decent, there is basically only the possibility of theoretical failure. In other words: today's Chinese team only has the possibility of suicide, and the possibility of his killing has been ruled out.

But I don't know why, the big guy knows that there is little chance of overturning, but he is beating the drum in his heart?

No way, who let this be the Chinese team!

Chinese football is that unless there is no possibility of overturning, even if there is only a 1% probability of hitting the street, the foot bucket has to find ways to give you an unprecedented program effect!

Before the last game of Group C, everyone took a look at the points and goal difference - the Kuwait team has 12 points, scoring 9 goals and conceding 1 goal, and the goal difference is 8 in the first place, and the Chinese team is also in 12 points, scoring 7 goals and conceding 1 goal, and the goal difference is 6 in second.

So obviously, as long as the Chinese team gets a goal difference of two more than Kuwait on the Hong Kong team, it will qualify.

But the protagonist of this incident is not the Chinese team, but the starring Hong Kong team.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, when the Chinese team playing away from home today, it was naturally cheered by the fans at the scene, although the fan circles in Hong Kong and the mainland were wearing Zhang Gongzi's jersey, and they didn't know that they thought it was a match between Barcelona and Macau.

But that wasn't the point, as the game was about to start, Hong Kong immediately excused themselves to the water on the lawn in front of the opposition's goal, hoping to deal with it before starting the game – that's the point.

The Saudi referee didn't know what it meant, so he rejected the request and warned the Hong Kong team not to play tricks!

But the Hong Kong team didn't care about the threat of the Saudi referee, and a group of people still inked for a long time, and finally ate two yellow cards before pretending to return.

After such a delay, the Hong Kong team started the game three minutes later than scheduled, and it stands to reason that it should be three minutes later than Kuwait on the other side.

However, the Kuwaitis over there played harder, and they directly slowed down the time of the game by 5 minutes at home, and then the Philippine referee actually adjusted the table according to the time on the spot, so it was five minutes later than the scheduled time before the game started.

Therefore, when the Chinese team thought that it had the advantage, it was still 2 minutes faster than the opponent.

When the Chinese team got the news, they could only signal the players to score as many goals as possible.

The Hong Kong team naturally cooperated with the whole force, don't look at their main force, but they played better than the youth team on the Malaysian side.

As a result, the Chinese team and the Kuwait team all played a 3:0 in the first half under this completely unwanted Bilian style of play!

In addition to waterproofing in the first half, the Hong Kong players delayed the game in various ways, one moment was injured and asked for a stretcher to enter, the other time they pretended to scold each other face-to-face with the Chinese players, and then they tried their best to delay time when the ball was dead!

But they all underestimated the shamelessness of West Asian football, and the Saudi referee here only gave 3 minutes of first-half stoppage time in this situation.

However, on the Kuwaiti side, the Philippine referee gave a full six minutes of first-half stoppage time.

"It's disgusting!"

Zhang Gongzi actually thinks that this kind of play is disgusting, even if the Kuwaiti side is even more shameless, but how good can the Chinese team be?

The media and fans of the Chinese team also felt that it was too unseemly to play like this, but there was no other way to qualify.

Who made the Chinese team not as competitive as the Macau team, even if it was a draw in the last game, it would not be like this today!

But now that they've done it, they can't stop it.

When playing in the second half, the Hong Kong team continued to cooperate with the performance, first deliberately delaying the game for 5 minutes, and then asking for the net to be repaired under the pretext that the net was broken, and it dragged on for a full 10 minutes.

"Awesome!"

When Zhang Gongzi saw the Hong Kong team that cooperated so well, he felt less disgusted with that side for a while.

Today, the Hong Kong team did their best, they fought the referee's warning many times, and even ate several yellow cards, plus a red card, not only helped the Chinese team fill in all the time that Kuwait was behind in the first half, and even helped the Chinese team start the second half three minutes later than the other side.

Knowing that the time advantage was gone, Kuwait scored a thrilling goal at the start of the second half, turning the score to 6-0 in less than 30 minutes.

The Chinese team is not far behind, basically Kuwait will score one, and they will score one.

"Damn, you have to go ahead!"

Zhang Gongzi was embarrassed, and couldn't help but scold the foot bucket, since you are completely shameless, then you will carry it out to the end!

Now that people score one, you score another, don't you know that people have two more goal difference than you!

If you go on like this, isn't that when you want to build a memorial arch?

In the end, the face was lost, and it was not fished out yet, so it was a great shame?

The foot bucket is estimated to have figured it out, since he has already done the first year of junior high school, he will be even more ridiculed if he does not do fifteen.

So from the 75th minute of the second half, the Chinese team and the Hong Kong team simply played it clearly, and the two sides turned the score into 9:0 in 15 minutes.

At the same time, the Kuwaiti side also changed the score to 8:0.

At this time, the national football team should give the Hong Kong team another one, because they helped the Chinese team delay time in the second half, and at this time they helped the national football team win enough stoppage time.

So when the two sides entered injury time, even if the Saudi referee wanted to engage the Chinese team, he still had to give 4 minutes of stoppage time.

Even though there was more stoppage time on the Kuwaiti side, they still ended the game two minutes later than the Kuwaiti side.

In the end, Kuwait defeated Malaysia 9-1, and actually conceded a goal in stoppage time.

At this time, the Chinese team had two minutes of stoppage time to improvise, and the score on their side was 10:0.

"Brother, is that enough?"

At this time, the players of the Hong Kong team actually asked this sentence directly on the field?

The Chinese players said I don't know, they can only look at their own bench.

If the team leader makes a gesture to keep attacking, they continue to score.

But something unexpected happened, at this time the foot bucket staff and team leader on the bench thought that the goal had been accomplished, and then in order to save dignity, they signaled the players on the field to stop attacking.

These Chinese players on the field did not know the score on the other side, and they thought that they had completed their task and naturally would not attack again.

Today, I poured 10 goals from the Hong Kong team, and I really don't know how to return it.

But when the game was over, a scene that could be called explosive in the entire history of football appeared-

At this time, the Chinese team, which thought it had qualified, and the Kuwait team, which thought it had been eliminated, began to celebrate frantically and began to grieve with loss.

This scene is indeed outrageous, although the Kuwaitis are dying at the last moment, playing a little trick!

But they don't think that the Chinese will be fooled, after all, who doesn't know that the Chinese's mathematics is the first in the world, this is really not even a primary school student can be fooled, right?

The foot bucket side is also very happy, they feel that they are two goal difference behind the opponent, so now Kuwait is 9:1, they are 10:0, isn't that equivalent to chasing back two goal difference?

And in the case of the same goal difference, then according to the rules, it has to be ranked better than Asia.

In this regard, they are two rankings higher than Kuwait, so the final qualification is naturally the Chinese team.

But the problem is that the foot bucket people have forgotten that the rules of this qualifier are that the total number of goals should be counted first, not the Asian rankings, if the goal difference is the same.

Of course, even pseudo-fans know about this, so the foot bucket won't know about it, right?

Therefore, the Kuwaiti people's 9:1 is a gamble that the Chinese do not even understand the basic rules, and even the IQ of the person who is gambling on the barrel is much lower than the average of the Chinese.

But in the end, even they didn't think about it: actually won the bet?

In the end, after all the matches in Group C, the Kuwait team scored 18 goals and conceded 2 goals with a goal difference of 16, and the Chinese team scored 17 goals and conceded 1 goal with a goal difference of 16.

“？？？？？？？”

Zhang Desheng turned off the satellite TV with a "snap" under the commentary in the live broadcast room and the guests' somewhat uneasy mood, and even the computer was quickly turned off.

He...... I really can't bear to see, or even hear the fans who are celebrating the promotion, are about to be hit by five thunders!

"Sleep! Sleep directly! ”

Zhang Gongzi can be regarded as an ostrich, on the one hand, he is really embarrassed and embarrassed for the foot bucket, but the most important thing is that he is really unwilling to experience this rebellious scene!

This TM can be wrong!

The foot bucket has lost more than you can imagine!

Even to put it mildly, this TM has lost all the face of the country.

Even if this kind of black history kills the hegemony for decades, the whole world can still bring up this matter to make fun of China, which is really a stain that will be laughed at for a lifetime!

"Ding!"

"Get a new mission: restore dignity!"

"Task requirements: pick up the lost face and lining of Chinese football one by one!"

"Mission Progress: -1000%"

"Mission Reward: It's hard to say!"

After Zhang Gongzi got up the next day, he found that he had received a task from a pit dad - that's right, he was the pit dad!

"Made, what's the matter with me!?"

Zhang Gongzi was very unhappy with this task, but not because the reward was too vague, nor because he found it difficult, his unhappiness was completely directed at the foot bucket.

He is naturally a hundred unwilling to wipe the butts of these grandsons for himself!

But he can't help but take on this task, who made his ultimate goal to seek a usurpation of the throne.

Since he wants to inherit the great unification, he must be like the great men of the republic who have worked hard for the rejuvenation of the nation, and after all, they are not at all making up for the lessons of the grandchildren who were hundreds of years earlier.

Zhang Desheng figured this out, and no matter how unhappy he was, he could only work hard to complete the task.

After he took this task, he deliberately waited for two days before he started to watch the domestic news, but naturally the sky fell over there!

This description refers to the "foot bucket", or football circle!

Because of this unbelievable mistake, the people of the whole country are so angry that they vomit blood, but they also can't figure it out - how can this be a problem? How can this be miscalculated? There's no way there's anything wrong with that!

"When I heard the news, I couldn't figure it out, and it was hard for me to understand, for such an important game, did the foot bucket and the domestic football media people not learn math well? Or did they not even understand the rules for qualifying for the World Preliminary Round? Anyway, I don't understand, I can't understand what I'm thinking these days! Wait, they're not really going to take Kuwaiti money, are they? ”

Zhang Gongzi naturally also took the opportunity to fall into the ground, and he said such things in an interview with domestic media before the game against Villarreal.

He wasn't worried that the foot bucket would hate him for this, because the number of people who had fired at the foot bucket in the past few days was too many to count, and there were all those who said anything unpleasant.

Let's put it this way, now as long as there are some well-known public figures in all walks of life in China, many of them have publicly scolded their mothers.

And this "full bucket of Kuwaiti money" statement is one of the conspiracy theories.

Therefore, the way he expresses this kind of interrogative sentence is even a bit of a bucket of respect, and the intensity of criticism is too light.

Now many bigwigs in the domestic sports industry, and even in the football circle, simply propose to disband the foot bucket.

Lao Nie proposed to decouple the foot bucket from the body department for reorganization, and it is best to join the football associations of Hong Kong and Macao to apply to FIFA for a merger and reorganization, at which time the sports department can still appoint books, but the rest of the colons at all levels will be reappointed in a ratio of 5-3-2 (mainland, Hong Kong, Macau), and then vote together to elect a bamboo mat.

This proposal has now received support from many people, and even Hong Kong and Macao have voices of support, especially in Hong Kong.

I just want to really bring it to the table for a formal discussion, and I definitely can't do it in a short time.

But in full swing when!

This is not a trivial matter in China, and it can be seen that this outrageous operation of the foot bucket is already a bit interesting.

Zhang Desheng also looked at it, and found that since that night, the degree of bombardment has far exceeded the scale of the original plane.

This is very easy to understand, because there is no second team of the Macau team in the original plane, and everyone can only suffer a great humiliation with the foot bucket, at most out of sight!

But this plane is different, and some of them have chosen, or simply shouted: The Macau team is the Chinese team!

So it's only been a few days, and most of the fans have jumped to the side of the Macau team and started to criticize the foot bucket!

At the same time, the national support of the Macau team naturally soared under the backdrop of the first team, and it directly rose to 74% in just three days!

This ratio shows that most of the domestic fans are completely disappointed in the national football team, they are completely on the side of the Macau team, and regard it as the only hope for Chinese football.

What flatters Zhang Gongzi the most is that this support is still increasing rapidly, and it is estimated that it will soon form a trend of the east wind overpowering the west wind.

But in this La Liga match, he still can't score a few more goals with the joy in his heart.

At this time, Zhang Gongzi, who had been locked up, only played in the first half, and finally handed over an assist.

However, this 1 assist allowed him to achieve a more magical set of "50+20" combination data, and even the number of assists unknowingly became the first person in history - 20 assists in a single season is not only the highest record in a single season in La Liga, but also the all-time assist record in a single season in the five major leagues.

This also makes the majority of Chinese fans even more puzzled: why can our Chinese football have two very different talents at the same time?
