Golden Greenery

There are no underdogs in Europe, but there are some.

The seven major European countries: Andorra, San Marino, Malta, Faroe Islands, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein...

Iceland used to be the same, but now it has become so fierce that it is replaced by Latvia, which is rapidly becoming fatter. As for Gibraltar, which comes and goes, they are not even fish bellies, at most they are fish food.

Winning a game for the Seven Big Fish Belly is a celebration of the New Year, and even scoring a goal is a birthday. If there is smoke coming out of the ancestral graves and rushing into some competition, maybe the National Day will be changed.

In fact, Liechtenstein is relatively the least "fat" among the "seven fatties" because they still have some impressive records.

The country is too small to start its own professional league. There is only one professional team in Liechtenstein - Vaduz FC, which has participated in the league in neighboring Switzerland from the beginning.

After more than 40 years of hard work, Vaduz FC broke into the third level of Switzerland. After another thirty years of hard work, it finally reached the second level of Switzerland. Last season, Vaduz ranked fourth in the Swiss Liga, and their ranking was not bad.

Although Vaduz is registered to participate in the Swiss League, it is still theoretically registered with the Liechtenstein Football Association, and Liechtenstein is only allocated one UEFA Cup qualifying place. In other words, even if Vaduz wins the Swiss Super League championship, they will not be able to participate in the Champions League.

The only possibility of playing in the Champions League is to win the UEFA Cup. Of course, talking about this to Vaduz now is like talking about steam engines to Li Bai like a sheep.

The players of the Liechtenstein national team mainly come from Vaduz, but the most powerful players in the history of the national team did not come from here.

Mario Flick was born in Liechtenstein's amateur team Balzerz and was chosen by Club 1. 2nd in Serie C Arezzo.

In the next nine years, Flick played four seasons in Serie A and four seasons in Serie B. He scored a total of 21 goals in Serie A. He was a forward.

It was this experience that made Flick the most glorious player in the history of the Liechtenstein national team, and a well-deserved thigh of Liechtenstein football during that period.

2. Flick, the substitute forward who plays for Siena, has also played against AC Milan and Zhuo Yang many times. He still has strength. He is Liechtenstein's 'Super Mario'.

The 41-year-old Flick retired in Vaduz the summer before last, and now he is the head coach of this solitary team.

Flick is the only player to score in double figures for the national team.

The national football teams have not been established for a long time, 1, but their first international victory came not too late. During the Asian tour in the year of its establishment, Liechtenstein defeated Indonesia 3:2. Half a year later, they defeated Malaysia 1:0.

This is no big deal. In 2004, Portugal, which had just finished second in Europe, had a difficult 2:2 away draw with Liechtenstein in the World Cup preliminaries. Portugal's only goal was an own goal by Liechtenstein. This is Liechtenstein's first point in an international competition. How can Ronaldo be embarrassed...

In the next two years, Liechtenstein competed in various qualifiers such as Iceland, Luxembourg, and Latvia. Who the hell is a loser to you? Your whole family is a loser.

At the end of last year, in the Liechtern friendly match, they defeated the Asian powerhouse Qatar 2:1 with all the main players, adding another achievement to the honor list.

Liechtenstein is currently ranked 181st in the world by FIFA. It is really fat, but occasionally it is not that fat.

A very important reason for ranking so low is that there are few games. Except for a small taste in the regular qualifiers, niche teams not only have no bonus points for major competitions,

There aren’t many opportunities for friendly matches either. In a football match, both sides must see eye-to-eye before the game can be played.

Generally speaking, good things like warm-up before the World Cup do not happen in Liechtenstein, but this time Count Maxell, chairman of the Liechtenstein Football Association, found Zhuoyang's relationship. They are not outsiders. Maxel, who is 55 years old, has to call Zhuo Yang "third uncle".

The Kou Kou family has a close blood relationship with the Liechtenstein royal family. The successor of the then Crown Prince Hubert, Kou Kou's great-grandmother, Duchess Margaret, was the youngest daughter of the Grand Duke of Liechtenstein at that time.

Because the Kou Kou family is not prosperous, they get married and have children relatively late, so they are generally older. As a member of the Liechtenstein royal family, Maxel would have to call Kou Kou his third aunt if he got serious about it.

If you are a relative, it would be disrespectful to refuse. Anyway, the Chinese team does need a sacrificial chicken, so Zhuo Yang took the initiative and arranged the game at the 'hottest' venue, which is also the Kazan Arena, the venue for the World Cup. .

In this case, Kou Kou also came, and as a special commissioner of the Football Association, she got into the room of Chinese captain Zhuo Yang. It was obvious that the two had very important bilateral football issues to discuss, and they had to talk in depth all night long. talk.

The Chinese team does not engage in the humanistic care of some European teams. During the World Cup, family members are not allowed to accompany the team and are not allowed to appear in the team's hotel.

The team manages the military strictly and will clarify the 'Top Ten Prohibitions' before each expedition. Discipline is not a child's play and no one can try to break the law.

Of course, Zhuo Yang cannot be regarded as violating discipline, because he is the discipline itself. He was just having important exchanges with important officials in Liechtenstein. It was just a coincidence that the Liechtenstein official was his wife.

For ten years, Kou Kou has three hatreds for football. One hates AC Milan for staying in centralized accommodation before the game, the other hates Mu’s Real Madrid abstinence before the game, and the third hate is that the national team is not allowed to join the army.

In Russia in 2018, she hates nothing.

Don't think that the non-domineering president Christine Josephine Zhuo is not a little girl anymore, she did it on purpose this time. It also means that her husband is obedient to her, the team is disciplined, and her wife's words are the law.

Of course, Zhuoyang's privilege is also one of the team's disciplines, and it is the highest level of discipline.

Zhuo Yang has always wanted to have Kou Kou playing in the World Cup with him, and he wanted to do so when he was in South Africa eight years ago. But as a captain, you must lead by example. It's okay to have to be tough, but it still doesn't save face.

Zhuoyang knew that having Kou Kou around him would not affect his game state, but people are different, and the same cannot be said for others. It's really like some sports teams that set up a few open days for family members, and those women have to turn the team into a live broadcast. These days, whose wife doesn’t want to be an Internet celebrity?

The wives and girlfriends of the international players are nothing more than movie stars, young models and stewardesses. The circle is so big. When the time comes, they will scheming with each other and they don't care what the occasion is. Can you believe that they can fight over who is standing in the C position when taking a group photo?

So Zhuo Yang never opened his mouth and took the lead himself. But this time, he opened his mouth without even thinking, because I didn't want to wrong myself anymore, and I didn't want to wrong Kou Kou because of football.

Because I can, but you still can’t.

In the sunny stands of the Kazan Athletic Stadium, Kou Kou, wearing the Chinese red No. 18 jersey, sat together with his eldest nephew, Count Maxell. She doesn't care if it's appropriate to wear it this way, because she won't wrong herself anymore.
