Golden Greenery

Text Chapter 477 A Lively Summer

It was already early September when Zhuo Yang returned to Manchester. After worrying so much about the young boys, the dust has settled in the top 12 Asian preliminaries, and the summer window of football in 2017 has also been completely closed.

He personally came forward to help Lao Mu and Ran Ran reunite, so that this bitch Lao Mu could finally have someone to control him for the rest of his life.

The summer of 2017 is a day worth remembering. Teenagers finally got out of singles this year. There are three less diamond-level bachelors in the world, but there are three more men who are wandering in love and happiness.

Love is fate, a boat that looks back, and a practice. Football is a dream, a sail that rides the wind and waves, and a man's war without makeup.

In the last round of the top 12, the Chinese team defeated Qatar 3:1 at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha, and finally ranked first in Group A with 10 points and qualified.

Zhuo Yang only went to Doha with the team, but did not play in the game. Guardiola loved him so much that he wanted to call Sforza his grandfather. Zha Ge sent six naturalized players to continue the run-in, with Jiang Guangtai in the defense, Li Ke, Kadasi and Goulart in the midfield, and the trident of Exxon and You Deshui, paired with Wu Lei.

Exxon broke the deadlock in the first half, and Wu Lei and Zhang Xizhe, who came on the bench, added icing on the cake in the second half. However, veteran Zheng Zhi was sent off for a foul in the 80th minute. Qatar forward Hassan Afef, who plays for UEFA Europa League, took the opportunity to score a point in the 88th minute.

Lao Zheng is still getting older. Whether he is placed in the midfield or on the back line, he has some difficulty in the second half. He has now become the national team's foul king. But Zhuoyang wouldn't let him quit, so he had no choice but to persevere and play a red card to relax from time to time.

Iran drew with Syria 2:2 in the last round. With 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss in 10 games, Iran entered next year's World Cup in Russia together with 1 team.

It’s not easy. From being in danger of qualifying for the top 40 in the qualifiers, to having 3 draws and 1 loss in the first four rounds of the top 12, to finally winning six games in a row, the Chinese team is not called a counterattack, but a resurrection with full blood.

In another focus game of Group A, South Korea drew with Uzbekistan 0:0 in Tashkent, thus ranking third in Group A with 13 points from 10 games, 3 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses, beating Uzbekistan with 11 points, and won the tie. Australia, third in Group B, qualified for the play-offs.

Uzi 11, Syria 11, and Qatar stay for the next four years.

Group B is also very lively. Thailand is a loser. It has not won a game in the top 12, but the UAE and Iraq have disrupted the situation well, while Saudi Arabia, which has regained its youth this year, has ruined what was originally thought to be a duo of Japan and Australia. Good thing.

Before the last two rounds, Australia and Saudi Arabia were tied at 1, which was the day the Chinese team defeated Uzbekistan in Chengdu. The Japanese defeated Australia 2:0 in Saitama and accumulated 20 points to advance to the qualifying round.

The unsatisfactory Saudi Arabia was defeated 3:2 by the United Arab Emirates, the West Asian brother who still had slight hope, and failed to seize the opportunity to increase the points.

In the final round, Australia faced the weakest Thailand at home, while Saudi Arabia faced Japan, which had already qualified. Australia won, but they were distracted. It's hard to say whether the Japanese gave Saudi Arabia any slack. Anyway, they played with their main lineup and lost 0:1, but it's also hard to say they let their guard down. They played steadily throughout the game and only lost one goal.

As a result, Saudi Arabia and Australia finished second with a goal difference of 1 or 2.

Saudi Arabia, once the leader in West Asia, can re-enter the mainstream of Asia after many years of silence, mainly due to their new coach, the Dutchman Van Marwijk. It is the old master who coached Dortmund and led the Netherlands to the South Africa final in 2010.

This time coaching Saudi Arabia showed off Lao Fan’s skills, but it also made him very tired. After successfully qualifying for the World Cup in Russia, Saudi Arabia offered a generous contract extension, and Master Fan shook his hands like leaves in the wind.

After quitting, Malvik plans to retire from the world.

The Saudis had no choice but to give up and hire Argentinian Edgardo Bauza, who had just been dismissed from the UAE coaching position.

In April this year, Bauza was fired from the Argentina national team due to poor performance, and was fired again in September after failing to lead the UAE out of Asia. Two months later, he was fired by Saudi Arabia due to poor results in friendly matches. Classes are dismissed three times a year, which is too miserable.

Asia has 4.5 World Cup quotas, and the third-placed teams in the two groups in the top 12 each have 0.25 quotas. If you want to turn this 0.25 into 1, you must first win the Asian play-offs, turn yourself into 0.5, and then win the Intercontinental League. Plus, it’s a grueling and tragically brutal journey.

What's more tragic than playing in the play-offs is playing in the play-offs twice in a row, and that's what the Koreans do. The sadness of the Koreans is second only to Argentina, which has finished third in three years.

Four years ago, South Korea was forced by the Chinese team and Iran to play in the play-offs. It first won by luck against Jordan, and then relied on cheating to win against Ecuador. It really took off a layer of skin before it reached Brazil.

Four years later, South Korea was forced to play in the playoffs by the Chinese team and Iran. They were so depressed that they were not even in the mood to eat kimchi.

All qualifiers around the world will end within the year, and now all continents have entered the final stage. There are currently 11 teams that have clearly qualified, including China, Iran, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Nigeria, Mexico, Germany, England, Belgium, and the host Russia. For the other 21 pits, everyone still needs to continue to beat their brains out.

This summer's transfer window has also closed with the arrival of September. Neymar, with 222 million, has become the well-deserved bid king, and it is the historical bid king, 2.22, he is really two.

But the runner-up is not Mbappe, who has 180 million, because in order to avoid UEFA's Financial Fair Play Act, Paris and Monaco played a rent-to-own arrangement. In this way, 180 million has become a matter of next year. Mbappe Pei basically booked the top spot for the 2018 summer window.

The top bidder in the Premier League was Lukaku, bought by Manchester United, and the bidder in La Liga was Dembele, with Barcelona spending 105 million. The Italian Serie A champion unexpectedly fell to AC Milan, which had already attracted some attention. The Rossoneri spent 42 million to acquire Bonucci, which was quite generous.

As always, the Bundesliga did not follow the trend, and as always, Bayern took the lead. It bought 23-year-old French Corentin Tolisso from Lyon for 41.5 million, setting a Bundesliga purchase record.

Evergrande sold Paulinho to Barcelona for 40 million, which also set a record in the Chinese Super League. In previous years, 40 million would have ranked among the top ten or even top five in the world, but in the hot summer of 2017, Paulinho, Ederson, Bakayoko and others could only be tied for fourteenth place.

Manchester City ultimately failed to buy a top centre-back, nor in the second level. As Plan C, 2 Mangala and 20-year-old Tosin Adarabioyo were not loaned out and both stayed. Otherwise, relying solely on Kompany, Stones, and Otamendi to conquer the world would be too cheap for them.

Manchester City spent more than 200 million pounds in the summer, which is also historic, but it did not attract much limelight this year. After all, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona Jr. stole the show.

Back in Manchester, Guardiola saw Zhuoyang who was full of blood and full of energy. He immediately knelt down again and kowtowed to Sforza three times towards the far east.

Three days later, in the fourth round of the Premier League, Manchester City faced Liverpool at home.
