Midfielder Ruler
Chapter 17 The Confederations Cup and the summer transfer market
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the South Korean fans couldn't believe it. They even drew 1:1 with Australia at home.
In this way, Australia ranks first in Group A with a goal difference advantage, China ranks second, and South Korea ends the World Cup qualifiers with two consecutive draws and retreats to third in the group. They will compete with the third team in Group B. Teams compete for 5 play-off places representing Asia.
Although the Chinese team was beaten twice by Qatar at the end of the second half, they finally won the opponent without any risk and won a valuable three-pointer.
You must know how worried the Chinese fans in Wuhan Sports Center and in front of the TV watched in the three minutes of stoppage time. They should have won the game without any pressure, but they were almost turned black by the head coach Camacho for n minutes.
Therefore, the moment the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Tang Zheng and the Chinese fans on the sideline excitedly raised their arms high and flocked to the stadium to celebrate the 'hard-won' victory of the game.
The head coach Camacho also breathed a sigh of relief. The three minutes of stoppage time really made him tremble with fear, because the news from the Korean stadium is still 1:1. If the game draws and the Korean stadium also draws, then South Korea And Australia will join hands to qualify.
The last three minutes were quite embarrassing, but the result was perfect.
The close-up shots of the on-site director were shown to the players after the game, and then ghostly to the Chinese coach Camacho who came to the sidelines.
New Wolves sports commentator Huang Jianxiang was extremely clear-headed after the excitement. He said: "It is certainly gratifying for the Chinese team to directly qualify for the World Cup in Brazil with the second place in the group, but for the head coach Camacho, it is worth pondering, and even constantly. Reflection! Lions must try their best to fight rabbits, let alone a World Cup qualifier? And we have not despised the strength of others..."
Of course, Huang Jianxiang's words have hidden meaning.
As for the meaning of understanding, it is a matter of opinion.
The Wuhan Sports Center has completely become a sea of joy for Chinese fans,
Fans without tickets shouted loudly in the outer square of the sports center, venting wildly that the national team entered the World Cup again after a lapse of twelve years.
In countless bars, homes, college dormitories and other places, there are endless cheers from Chinese fans.
Many non-fans don't understand, isn't it just winning and entering the World Cup?
Is it so exciting?
But only the real Chinese fans know the bitterness of the past twelve years. Their cheers are not because the national team has advanced, but more like a kind of emotional vent.
What to vent?
Or rather, prove it to the world.
China can enter the world's top football stage.
At this time, Tang Zheng forgot the unhappiness of being replaced at the end of the game, and devoted himself to the carnival of the audience.
From the corner of his eyes, two lines of hot tears could not help but flow down his cheeks to his neck.
The dreams of those years are being realized one by one.
In the stands, Tang's father, Tang's mother, Zhao Lina, Fabino Rodrigo, Chen Jia, Liu Nian and others were all proud of Tang Zheng.
All Chinese are proud of this day. On June 18, 2013, the Chinese men's football team broke into the World Cup for the second time.
Central 5 commentator He Wei said loudly at the end of the commentary: "Dear fans in front of the TV, you can already plan your itinerary in advance, apply for visas and book air tickets, of course... the most important thing is the game ticket! I hope that next year In the summer, we saw our red whirlwind passing over the land of Brazil! Come on! My beloved Chinese team!"
The close-up shots of the on-site director saw endless carnival and crazy celebrations every time. Many fans even had nothing to do with the people around them, but at the moment of promotion, they seemed to be the best and most intimate. friend.
Tang Zheng, who pulled up his jersey to cover his face, felt the shouts coming towards his face, he knew that all these years of efforts were not in vain.
This feeling is really good.
※※※
While the Chinese fans are carnival, the psychological shadow of Korean fans is very large.
Two consecutive victories at the beginning, another big victory, who would have thought that the World Cup qualifiers would end in two consecutive draws?
Typical anticlimactic.
The qualifying places in Group B have also been settled. Japan ranked first in the group with an absolute advantage, Iran ranked second, and Jordan defeated Oman in a crucial game to get third. They will compete with South Korea for 5 qualifying places.
The number of play-offs is very unacceptable to Korean fans. Since the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, they have directly entered the main match for seven consecutive World Cups, so they are somewhat dissatisfied that they need to participate in the play-offs for the eighth time.
In addition, according to the pre-match play-off matches given by FIFA officials, the 5 places in the Asian region will compete with the 5 places in the Americas in the final play-off.
In other words, South Korea has finally passed the hurdle of Jordan, and they still need to face the test of fifth place in the Americas.
Judging from the current South American points situation, it is likely to be Uruguay.
Of course, what happened to the South Korean team has nothing to do with Chinese fans.
Today's Chinese fans have only one task, which is to vent their hearts and minds.
The next morning, the Central 1 Morning News focused on China's 3-2 home defeat to Qatar, following the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup and entering the World Cup again. The whole country was jubilant.
Almost all the media in the country are reporting that the Chinese team has advanced to the World Cup, let alone entertainment newspapers, and even military newspapers are talking about the Chinese team entering the World Cup in Brazil again after twelve years.
And the person most talked about by the media is Tang Zheng.
At that time, the Chinese team was almost eliminated in the Asian Top 20. It was precisely because of Tang Zheng's return that he led the team to advance to the Asian Top 10.
In the eight games, Tang Zheng made outstanding contributions. The Chinese team's excellent performance of 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss with 15 points was inseparable from Tang Zheng's excellent performance.
There are even professional football media reports that if Camacho lets Tang Zheng play the entire game in the last World Cup qualifier, the Chinese team may even win the first place in the group.
According to the rules of the same points in the World Cup qualifiers, the first thing to look at is the goal difference, then the number of goals scored and the number of goals conceded, and finally the relationship between victory and defeat. It is equivalent to saying that the Chinese team did not concede a goal in the last ten minutes. The goal difference advantage ranks first in the group.
In order to attract fans' attention, some media also highlighted the tense relationship between Tang Zheng and Camacho.
The text is interlocking, giving people a very convincing feeling.
Coupled with some things that happened in the last two World Cups, many fans choose to believe that after all, there will be no holes.
It is gratifying for the Chinese team to successfully qualify for the World Cup, but some media began to deliberately target Camacho, questioning his use of Tang Zheng in the last two games.
Naturally, Camacho would not admit that he was unhappy with Tang Zheng, but only said that it was necessary for tactics.
The other party, Tang Zheng, returned home immediately to enjoy the rare family happiness with his family.
According to his plan, he will take his family to the resort of Hawaii this summer.
However, his girlfriend Zhao Lina is going to participate in a new women's football training camp to prepare for the East Asian Cup in South Korea next month.
So Tang Zheng could only take his parents on vacation first, and after the East Asian Cup of the women's national team was over, he would take Zhao Lina on a solo trip.
Originally, Tang Zheng was also obliged to participate in the East Asian Cup, but the Real Madrid officials came forward to persuade the Chinese Football Association, saying that Tang Zheng was too tired in the past season, and he just led the Chinese team to the World Cup, and his body was extremely tired.
The East Asian Cup is not a particularly influential event, so there is no need to overkill.
The 2013-2014 La Liga season will start in mid-August, and the East Asian Cup will be held at the end of July. Coupled with the preparations, it will definitely affect Tang Zheng's competitive state in the new season. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, the top management of the Football Association gave up recruiting Tang Zheng to participate in the East Asian Cup next month. .
Hao Junmin, Wu Sanshi and Zhang Linpeng didn't have Tang Zheng's top treatment. They had to return to the national team after a short break to prepare for the East Asian Cup, also known as the East Asian Final Four.
※※※
During Tang Zheng's vacation, the Confederations Cup officially kicked off in Brazil.
The Japanese team representing Asia in the Confederations Cup failed to achieve a breakthrough. They lost 0:3 to Brazil in three group matches, 3:4 to Italy, 1:2 to Mexico, and were eliminated.
The teams that eventually advanced to the semi-finals were hosts Brazil, Uruguay, Spain and Italy.
Tang Zheng did not watch the live broadcast of the two semi-finals, because he temporarily decided to take Father Tang and Mother Tang to Brazil to watch the Confederations Cup final. The semi-finals between Brazil and Uruguay were on the plane, and the semi-finals between Spain and Italy were adjusted due to time difference. .
The Confederations Cup final is held at the San Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The final battle is between the host Brazil and the 2010 South Africa World Cup winner Spain.
I thought it was a well-matched final, but what I didn't expect was that the host Brazil team broke the deadlock two minutes into the game.
The Hulk and Oscar made a cross from the right. Fred, who outflanked and followed up in the center, fell to the ground and scored a goal. Casillas was beyond his reach.
Next, Spain, which was behind, woke up like a dream and began to control the game.
But the Brazilian team coached by Scolari was not afraid of Spain's controlling style of play, but instead gave up the initiative.
Facing the long-prevented Brazil team, Spain's advancement was not smooth, and the offense has not been effective for a long time.
Of course, the home team Brazil did not score.
Until the end of the first half, the Brazilian genius Neymar's left foot volley helped the Brazilian team expand the score to two goals.
In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Spain, which was two goals behind, stepped up their offense, but the loopholes left by their offense were too big.
In the third minute of the second half, Fred used the cover of the new No. 10 Neymar to score twice with a low shot in the penalty area.
Three goals behind for Spain has no choice, they must press out to attack.
Four minutes later, Navas, who came on as Mata's substitute, earned Spain a penalty.
But what is surprising is that it is not Torres who is currently hot in front of the penalty spot, but Ramos, the deputy of Real Madrid.
Tang Zheng, who was sitting in the auditorium, turned his head and said to Papa Tang, "Do you think Ramos will score a penalty kick?"
Papa Tang thought for a while, nodded and said, "I trust your new teammate."
"Oh?" Tang Zheng glanced at his father meaningfully, and said with a smile, "I can't guess."
"Why?" Papa Tang asked curiously.
"Mentality."
"Mentality?"
As soon as Papa Tang finished speaking, deafening cheers erupted from the Maracanã Stadium.
It turned out that Ramos' penalty kick missed the goal post.
The game continued, the two sides had offense and defense, but they still failed to create an excellent opportunity. On the contrary, in the 68th minute of the game, Pique brought down Neymar from the side and rear in the process of switching from offense to defense, and he received a direct red card end.
Spain fell behind by three goals and lost one player, and the next outcome was already doomed.
3:0
Brazil finally defeated the defending champion Spain and won the championship.
Brazilian genius Neymar won the Golden Globe Award, and Spanish striker Torres won the Golden Boot with the advantage of less playing time.
At the same time, the European football transfer market is also in full swing.
Among them, the most dazzling club is Monaco, which was invested by the Russian rich man Rybo Norev. They first spent 70 million euros to buy James Rodriguez and Portuguese international Moutinho from Porto, and then It cost 60 million euros to buy Tiger Falcao from Atletico Madrid.
Tang Zheng's new club, Real Madrid, sent Kaka back to AC Milan for free after selling Ozil, fully expressing their expectations for Tang Zheng in the new season.
Of course, Real Madrid aren't just making ends meet.
Tang Zheng has comprehensive abilities, but he is not an iron man after all. He needs a suitable substitute. In addition, Harvey Alonso is getting old and needs a suitable successor.
Real Sociedad midfielder Ilyaramendi transferred to Real Madrid for 32 million euros, and in the past 2012-2013 season, the European golden boy Isco also transferred to Real Madrid for 30 million euros.
And Tang Zheng's most concerned head coaching issue was also resolved. Mourinho and Real Madrid broke up amicably. Carlo Ancelotti, who was once brilliant in AC Milan, became the future head coach of Real Madrid. He signed a three-year reverse contract.
Real Madrid's training session for the new season is scheduled for July 25th, at the same time as the new head coach Carlo Ancelotti called himself.
According to the club's pre-match training plan, the first is to return to the training base for restorative training, and then the whole team will take a flight to Los Angeles at the end of the month to participate in the first International Champions Cup.
When Tang Zheng and Tang's father and mother took the flight back to China, Real Madrid's deadly rival Barcelona also had strong support. Brazilian genius Neymar, who had just won the Confederations Cup Golden Globe Award, joined Barcelona with a worth of 57 million euros.
Tang Zheng's old club also gained a lot. Borussia Dortmund, who received a transfer fund of up to 100 million euros, bought Mkhitaryan from Shakhtar Donetsk for 27.5 million euros, and then spent another 13 million euros to buy Mkhitaryan from Shakhtar Donetsk. Saint-Etienne bought Aubameyang.
Selling Tang Zheng and buying Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang did not make Dortmund fans happy, after all, Tang Zheng's value is much higher than the two of them.
What is pleasing to the fans is that Dortmund's executives, who received a large sum of money, successfully renewed the contracts of core players such as Lewandowski, Gotze, and Royce, and stabilized the original lineup while buying new players. The foundation of good grades.
