Chapter 214: Am I Doing This?
The Club World Cup was said to be a gathering of champions from six continents, but in the end, it came full circle and returned to the old Toyota Cup summit in Europe and South America.
However, unlike the previous Toyota Cup period, when all South American players were brave and confident, today's Sao Paulo players look a little dignified when they play.
This is naturally because Barcelona has begun to come out of the circle in terms of influence in the past two seasons, especially Zhang Gongzi's unprecedented phenomenal performance, and it is difficult for any team to maintain confidence.
The Sao Paulo squad is nowhere near as star-studded as Barcelona, but they still have a certain presence in South America, with goal-scoring goalkeeper Saini and Brazilian internationals such as Cicinho and Grafit.
But São Paulo, who have always been passionate, showed conservative and utilitarian in the game today, they were on the defensive from the start!
Chinese fans even feel that Sao Paulo is not as passionate as the Zhuhai team, although everyone is a turtle defensive tactic, but after the initial collapse, the Zhuhai team is at least very brave in individual ability, and is very resolute and sharp when counterattacking!
This can only be said that Sao Paulo's players are not confident enough in front of Barcelona, and on the other hand, the attraction of $6 million is too great for them, even if they play conservatively, they must be premised on victory.
However, the retrenchment defense is not an area that the Sao Paulo players are good at, and even the defensive counterattack is not their good style of play, this defense is full of holes, and even the Barcelona players can feel uncomfortable playing on the opposite side!
If it weren't for the fact that the Barcelona players didn't have a very good foot today, and the first five shots on goal were all past the goal, the Brazilians would have been very miserable!
But with so many stars in their prime, Barcelona's goal was a matter of course.
In the 33rd minute of the first half, Iniesta, who continued to start today, broke through on the right side and crossed, Zhang Desheng stopped the ball with his back chest outside the penalty area, first cleverly knocked the ball back, and completed the turn in a chic manner, and then picked it up without waiting for the football to land.
Shevchenko quickly got rid of it laterally on the weak side, completed an anti-offside run and a high-quality stop in a few seconds, and pushed directly with his right foot 10 meters in front of the goal, and the ball rolled into the bottom left corner of the goal before Seni's block!
"See, that's why I didn't pass the ball to this guy in the last game!"
Zhang Desheng muttered secretly in his heart, he didn't pass the ball to Shevchenko a few times in the whole game in the last game in Zhuhai, just because this Ukrainian can not only pass and rush, but also shoot at a first-class level.
Such a super striker who still has the ability to compete for the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or not only has the ability to strike fatally to the Zhuhai team, but also has enough lethality even against Sao Paulo!
So it's no wonder that Sao Paulo players are not confident, Barcelona has such a luxurious squad this season, and half of Europe's big teams lose confidence just by seeing these names!
After the Brazilians conceded the goal, they were naturally forced to play against Barcelona.
The two sides began to fight in midfield, but Barcelona, who were already in full form, clearly dominated the field, and they had a clear advantage in terms of possession and number of attacks.
Sao Paulo couldn't take advantage of what they were best at passing, and naturally struggled in attack, not even creating too many chances on goal.
Brazilian striker Grafite's presence was extremely low in the first half, as Sao Paulo's midfield simply couldn't compete with Barcelona, who fielded a two-man midfield today.
He had just two chances on goal in the first half, only to have a single shot on target with his team-mate Edmilsson in the national team.
São Paulo has three members of the Brazilian national team, but they are all on the fringes of the Brazilian national team, and can only be called up in the second division, and there is no substitute qualification for major tournaments such as the Intercontinental Cup and the World Cup.
However, the Brazilian national team members in the Barcelona team are not only more numerous, but they are also absolute substitutes, if not the absolute main force, at least one notch higher in the ranks.
Not to mention anything else, Adriano, who performed well in the Confederations Cup this summer, scored five goals and won both the best player and top scorer awards.
But it is such a new ace in the Brazilian national team, who is sitting on the bench at Barcelona at the moment, how can you make Sao Paulo not feel timid?
At the end of the first half, Zhang Gongzi took advantage of a free kick opportunity created by Iniesta and directly used a high-quality elevator ball from 30 meters away, which broke the mentality of Brazil's third goalkeeper Seni on the spot!
The most interesting thing is that after Zhang Gongzi scored a goal, he took off his jersey very rarely, revealing the already very attractive muscle lines.
This is equivalent to throwing the third mushroom egg on a small day, which blew up the entire stadium on the spot, and by the way, it also attracted a Japanese female fan to rush into the stadium while taking off, but unfortunately he was caught by the security guard when he was ten feet away from Zhang Gongzi.
This has to sigh that the Chinese who can cause such a sensation in Japan, it is estimated that the entire entertainment industry and sports circle combined, he is the only one who is still alive.
The luxury team led by Jackie Chan was an unprecedented Hong Kong star team, but in fact, it couldn't cause Zhang Gongzi to be a sensation in Japan!
This may be the influence of the "World Footballer of the Year + European Ballon d'Or", not to mention the fatal temptation of worship for Japanese fans, even for Sao Paulo players, it is difficult to get rid of the upper oppression.
Barcelona led 2-0 in the first half, and the third title of the season was put in the pocket in advance, even if the second-half penalty began to favor Sao Paulo, and even blew away Zhang Gongzi's goal that was not offside.
However, Sao Paulo simply couldn't get past Barcelona and it wasn't until the 71st minute of the second half that they pulled a goal back from a controversial penalty.
After that, the penalty was immediately back on track, and FIFA at this time obviously wanted to support Barcelona, how could it be difficult for them all the time.
And São Paulo, who lost the preferential treatment of the penalty, was naturally immediately beaten back to its original form.
But just when Sao Paulo was once again suppressed by Barcelona, Júnior created a free-kick opportunity that contributed to the most exciting scene of the game!
Spectators outside South America were surprised to see Sao Paulo's goalkeeper Seni running up, and the scene was too strange for them to watch the goalkeeper who was about to take the free-kick.
But for fans in South America, a wonderful goalkeeper like Seni is not an exception, he can only be regarded as the best of the wonders!
As a goalkeeper, this thing actually served as the team's first free kick and penalty taker, which is grotesque enough in itself.
The most painful thing is that his free kick hit rate is still very high, and the number of goals scored is quite amazing.
Last season, he scored seven goals from free-kicks and scored three penalties, the third-highest number of goals in the team.
Brazilian fans are naturally very proud when they see this, and their psychological state at this time is: such an alternative, but such a powerful goalkeeper, you have never seen it, right?
This one...... I haven't seen it before!
Saini was also in good spirits when he took the penalty and was desperate to use it to get back on the field for the first half of the game when he was scored by Zhang Desheng.
In addition, he knew very well that if he could score this goal, the second spring at the end of his career would come.
However, he didn't seem to have thought about what would happen if he messed up?
At this time, I saw Saini, who wanted to show a big face in front of the global audience, and this time the free kick was deliberately punished with a high enough arc in order to prevent the wall from blocking it and exposing his buttocks.
But the problem is that the arc is a bit too high, and despite the beauty of the whole arc, especially his unique "one-step run", which is actually awesome, the ball smashed on the frame and bounced back into the box.
At this time, the nearest Belletti was also considered a master of the arts, he rushed to the front of the football and did not clear the ball at the first time, but turned and drove it forward with his big foot, and then saw the football fly high and fall in the direction of the goal of São Paulo.
Belletti obviously wanted to kick the ball directly into the opposite goal, but as a defender, he certainly didn't have as much calf strength as the goalkeeper.
Therefore, the landing point of the football after flying high is actually more than ten meters away from the penalty area.
But it doesn't matter, because Zhang Gongzi, who was the fastest in the game, had already rushed towards the football landing point at this time.
And Zhang Desheng's acceleration ability at this moment can only be described as "taking off"!
Sao Paulo's two defenders, Lugano and Edkalos, were actually in a position to delay when they took the free throws in order to prevent Seni from missing a free kick.
When they turned and accelerated to run back, they were all five or six positions ahead of Zhang Desheng.
But I didn't expect that this seemingly rich space was shortened by more than half of the first ten meters by Zhang Gongzi with amazing explosive power.
And after everyone raised the speed, Zhang Desheng only used more than ten meters, and then used the same amazing absolute speed to smooth out the remaining disadvantages.
After that, it's his solo performance......
"Quick, too fast!"
"How do I feel that he is faster than Liu Xiang?"
"Damn, is this flying on the grass?"
“……”
In this era, there are also many speed players in China, who are called "fast horses" by the media.
But the goods have to be thrown away, and now Zhang Desheng is also known as the "fast horse" in European football.
At this time, in the state of drawing the sword, Zhang Gongzi, whose "acceleration" and "explosiveness" have all reached the state of double 95, only Kaka can compete with him in speed in the entire Brazilian team.
These Sao Paulo players, especially these two central defenders who are not known for their speed, naturally can't even eat his exhaust!
But what scares Brazilian fans the most is that they don't have a goalkeeper anymore!
That's stupid!
The miraculous goalkeeper Saini, who they were still proud of just now, had just finished taking a free kick and was desperately sprinting back more than ten meters away.
I have to say that Saini in this state ran faster than the two central defenders.
But no matter how fast it is, the most relieving thing at this time should be the goalkeepers who have been broken by him with a free kick, because for a goalkeeper, there is nothing more depressing than being broken by the opposing goalkeeper.
However, Saini has rarely been sanctioned for taking free kicks, at least compared to the free kicks he scored, the very few times he was hit by the wall and the opponent was completely negligible.
But when Zhang Gongzi successfully got the football, and then shot at the empty goal with an easy cushion, I wonder if Seni will be so active in taking free kicks in the future?
"It's fast, it's cool!"
In the past year, Zhang Desheng has felt too real about his progress in speed!
He now has a very clear perception of the three dividing lines of 85, 90, and 95, and the gap is far greater than the numbers show.
Let's put it this way, from 94 to 95, don't look at the difference just a little.
But this is enough for him to barely keep up with Messi this season in the first three steps; And when sprinting with the ball, his absolute speed is faster than Shevchenko's air run this season, and even faster than Xiao Luo Kong's running speed this season.
Therefore, if he wants to really show off his speed, then he can completely replicate the explosive human ball score of the peak Bell!
Of course, the speed of the double 95 is estimated to be only comparable to the peak Bell in terms of explosiveness within 10 meters, but it is still slightly inferior to the peak Bell in terms of speed after 15 meters, and most of the visuals are not so explosive!
But he is still improving, and the speed of double 95 at this time is not the limit of his future!
Moreover, the most terrifying thing about him is that his explosive power and absolute speed are very close.
At the peak, Mbappe's explosive power should be at the level of 99, but the absolute speed is also 95 to the top; Bell has a maximum explosive power of 95, but can have a 99 at the peak of absolute speed.
But he will have the opportunity to achieve the speed attribute of double 99 in the future, and the visual expression when he is in full swing at that time, I am afraid that he can really achieve the level of no one before and no one in the football world!
"Toot!"
After the score was stretched to 3:1, São Paulo completely lost the fighting spirit of the reversal.
In the end, when the final of the Club World Cup officially came to an end, the score was fixed at 3:1.
Under the leadership of Zhang Gongzi, Barcelona successfully won the most important championship trophy of the season.
It was Barcelona's third title of the season, and their legendary "six crowns" were halfway there.
"Ding!"
"Get a new mission - Six Crowns!"
"Mission: Lead the team to six crowns this season!"
"Task Reward: A one-time reward of 20,000 points of luck, and at the same time choose 6 targets at random to double the effect of their luck blessings!"
"Ding!"
"Get a new quest - Meet the Legend!"
"Mission requirements: Please lead the team to qualify from the group at the World Cup!"
"Mission reward: A one-time reward of 10,000 points of luck, and at the same time get a chance to compete with the Chinese Dream Team in the virtual space, and after completing the game, you can get any talent of one of the players of the Chinese Dream Team!"
When Zhang Desheng saw the first task, he was already prepared in his heart.
But this second task, he was directly dumbfounded?
"The Chinese Dream Team?"
"What's that?"
"Return any talent of any opponent to TM!"
"Is it a talent for eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling? Wouldn't that thing be a trick for me if I learned it? ”
Zhang Gongzi disdains this, there is no one in the Chinese team who can be looked at by him at all, especially the bullshit "dream team" called, the "sleepwalking team" is almost the same!
Then, he very disdainfully clicked on the note written in small print on the line below the task: "The Chinese Dream Team, born with the help of another surface host with the help of the three-level system, you will play against the team's data replica in the 1994 World Cup!"
"Data replicators?"
Zhang Desheng was even more suspicious in his heart, and then clicked on the lineup that made him stunned in the next second, especially the starter he didn't know any of them......
