Golden Greenery

When the World Cup group draw came out, my grandfather Mertesacker handed Zhuo Yang a small note.

Grandpa said: "You should still have some impression of Nelson Valdez. He is still the same as before, with good speed and skills. His passing makes people want to hit him, and he is not enough of a threat to the goal. However, you * *Of course you don’t need to take him seriously, but it’s okay for him to let your teammates drink. Barrios, you really have to be careful, this kid is quite strong.”

Today, Paraguay's starting two forwards, Barrios and Nelson Valdez, both play for Dortmund, and are now strong players under Uncle Zha. When Zhuoyang was still at Madiburg, Neba was at Werder Bremen. He was the substitute for Klose and Klasnic. In the summer when Zhuo Yang went to AC Milan, Neba joined Dortmund freely and has been there ever since.

Barrios joined Dortmund from South America for 4.2 million last summer. He is different from Neba, who is a relic of the previous dynasty. Barrios is a signing approved by Klopp. How can Uncle Zha ignore him?

In his first season in the Bundesliga, Barrios scored 19 goals and was the top scorer among Dortmund last season, ranking third in the Bundesliga. 2008 was Zhuoyang's breakout year in Serie A. That year, he scored 63 goals in all club competitions throughout the year. In 2008, he ranked among the top scorers in the world's top leagues by the International Association of Football History and Statistics (iffhs). On top. The second-ranked player on this list is Barrios, who plays for Colo-Colo in Chile. He scored 49 goals.

The value of the Paraguay team is naturally not as high as that of the Chinese team. After all, Zhuoyang alone is worth 100 million. Even if more than half of their players play in the five major leagues and Brazil and Argentina, the total value cannot exceed 110 million, right!

Paraguay's head coach, Argentinian Martino, is not worth as much as Rijkaard. Among the top 32 players in South Africa, only Capello is more expensive than Jay. Martino's coaching resume is far inferior to that of Jieshuai, although he has also been in charge of Barcelona.

Not Barcelona, ​​but Ecuador, where there is also a team called Barcelona. But today Zhuo Yang never imagined that one day in the future, this broad-faced middle-aged man on the sidelines would actually palm Barcelona.

Messi secretly told Zhuoyang: Among the Argentine coaches today, the most talented one is definitely not Maradona, but Gerardo Martino.

As for the tongue behind Messi's back, Zhuo Yang thought that the first half of what he said was very reasonable, but the second half... Zhuo Yang felt that Messi was still young and had never seen anything.

Faced with the predicament of falling behind 0:1 at the beginning, Martino did not panic at all. He only pondered for a minute before instructing the players on the field to temporarily shrink their formation to avoid being stabbed again by the Chinese team and avoid this force first. Let’s talk later.

It turns out that

Martino's decision was a wise one.

The ice-breaking move of scoring the first goal of the World Cup turned all the Chinese team players into howling little tigers. In the next twenty minutes, Zhuoyang led his teammates to launch wave after wave of attacks on Paraguay's goal. The fierce offensive made the Chinese fans in front of the TV and in the stands excited.

In the 5th minute, Zhuo Yang Dengping crossed the water, drifted horizontally in front of the penalty area and then moved the ball with one move. He created a gap in the crowd and then volleyed. The fast football tested Bilal, and he still had lingering fears after hitting the crossbar with his fists clenched.

In the 7th minute, Shao Jiayi passed the ball, Li Jinyu ducked from the penalty area and rushed to the top. The football missed the corner of the post and flew out of the baseline.

In the 11th minute, Sun Hai advanced with an assist and passed Yang by just a hair. In the 15th minute, Zhuo Yang's shot from the corner of the penalty area fell on the crossbar, making a heart-stopping impact.

In the 18th minute, Li Jinyu and Deng Shuxiang shot consecutively in the penalty area but were blocked by the Paraguayan defender. Zhuoyang made another shovel shot, but Bilal fell to the ground and blocked the ball with his body.

In the 22nd minute, Zhuoyang's free kick from 30 meters away stirred up the most thrilling heartbeat in this heart-stirring storm. With the help of Bilal's fingertips, the football hit the post and bounced back into his arms.

In this series of vigorous saturation attacks, the Chinese team was like a strong team in the world, while Paraguay was crumbling under the strong wind. But the Chinese team went crazy but to no avail, while Paraguay was about to fall but did not.

In these twenty minutes, coach Martino's careful choices enabled the team to survive the crisis. The Paraguayan players' rich experience in international competitions allowed them to withstand the enthusiastic Chinese and win the South American World Cup from the strong opponents for four consecutive years. The Uruguayans are unfazed by their football background in qualifying for the qualifiers.

Three drums and no more! Even with a bug like Zhuo Yang, the Chinese team is still a young team with almost no World Cup experience. Even if the average age is several years older than Paraguay, the Chinese team is still a naive World Cup rookie.

The boiling blood gradually cooled down, but the eagerness to succeed in the battle did not calm down. Including Zhuo Yang, the Chinese team showed contradictory behavior at this time. They were eager to continue the siege, but they did not have the capital to linger on in terms of strength.

In such a hesitant moment, the cunning Paraguayans seized the opportunity.

In the 25th minute, Sun Hai made an assist along the wing and overlapped with Sun Xiang, who was also crossing on this side. The two of them and other offensive players were not in a reasonable position to respond. Hai tried to use his personal ability to break through the bottom line, but this is not Asia, and he is not the Sun Hai eight years ago.

Aureliano Torres and full-back Morel worked together to block Sun Hai's wishful thinking. Even when Morel reached out to prevent Paraguay from counterattacking, he failed to do so. When Morel passed the ball around Sun Xiang in the next second and kicked the football forward like a bayonet, everyone realized that something was wrong.

The Chinese team's three central defenders were all near the Paraguayan penalty area, leaving only the mature and steady Li Tie in the backcourt. Paraguay's two forwards, Barrios and Nelson Valdez, were trying to hit the goal, making Li Tie look so clumsy that he couldn't take care of himself. .

Grandpa reminded me that Neba is average in everything, but his speed and ability to pass people are top-notch.

Neba didn't need to pass Li, because with his speed, even a top player could only kneel down again and again. And Neba is still a good person. He didn't take any credit when faced with Wang Dalei's attack. He pushed to Barrios on the other side, allowing him to easily score an empty goal.

Before Zhuoyang could catch up to the center circle, the football had already rolled smoothly across the goal line. Just like the big fish's goal in the opening game, Zhuo Yang couldn't believe that he just lost the ball like this. He didn't stop, but continued to sprint towards the back, as if thinking that running back would still prevent it from rolling into the net.

When he ran to the line of his own restricted area, Zhuo Yang stopped and woke up from the assumptions he had made for himself.

In his eight-year career, he has scored countless goals and his team has conceded countless goals, but this conceding goal can make him so unbelievable. Zhuoyang said: This is the World Cup.

He no longer paid attention to the peaceful football in the net. Zhuo Yang stepped forward and pulled up Wang Dalei, who was lying on the ground in anger.
