Winning the La Liga title for the first time this season excited everyone in Chinatown and shocked the entire Spanish media.

Thirteen wins and two losses. Although this report card still cannot catch up with the two previous Barcelona teams coached by Vilanova and Martino, it is the first time this season that Chinatown has reached the top of La Liga. Zidane’s It's truly astonishing that the team is able to perform in such an outstanding state.

A few months ago, when the team sold Godin and Verratti, everyone was worried about the performance of Chinatown, thinking that Verratti's departure would cause the team to fall apart. However, unexpectedly, Chinatown's performance Gotta be even better than last season.

After playing in the Copa del Rey, Chinatown immediately went to Morocco, Africa, to participate in the Club World Cup.

As the champions of the Champions League, Chinatown started playing in the semi-finals, facing the Blue Cross Club of the Mexican Super League.

Although it was a long journey and a new arrival, Chinatown still showed the team's superb passing and control ability. Its overall technical and tactical level was more than one step higher than its opponents, and it even unilaterally crushed the Blue Cross.

Goals from De Vrij, Firmino, Hazard and Griezmann helped Chinatown easily win the Blue Cross 4-0 and advance to the Club World Cup finals.

The 69% ball possession rate also allowed everyone to see the super strength of Chinatown.

Four crowns!

Chinatown once again shocked the world of football!

The Champions League, European Super Cup, Spanish Super Cup and Club World Cup. Although the four championships in Chinatown are all cup championships, they still amazed the media and fans around the world!

Countless media reporters have praised Chinatown's outstanding performance in 2014, believing that Chinatown will usher in an unparalleled dynasty era. Zidane's team has also shown an increasingly obvious momentum to compete for the championship.

But there are also many people who question Chinatown's performance, such as the defeat against Atletico Madrid and its performance in the league.

“The performance in the first half was outstanding, which has always been a characteristic of Chinatown. However, once it entered the second half, Chinatown always did not perform stably enough, especially when many fronts were struggling. The young team’s The shortcomings are exposed.”

"As we all know, league competition relies on stability, but this is exactly Chinatown's weakness, especially in the second half."

"When Pochettino was coaching, Chinatown once won the championship in the second half of the season, but lost points continuously in the second half, and finally only finished fourth in the league. In Zidane's first season as coach, Chinatown lost in the second half of the season. The performance is still not as stable as the first half, which is a problem that Chinatown must overcome next.”

Obviously, many media believe that the four-time champion is just a nice word. Except for one Champions League, the other three cup champions are useless, especially the Club World Cup. The opponents are not as strong as Chinatown, so winning the championship is reasonable.

Chinatown did not refute the doubts from the outside world, but head coach Zidane said in an interview with the media that the team does still have many shortcomings and cannot become careless because of the four crowns.

However, Marca gave Chinatown's four crowns a very high rating. Deputy editor-in-chief Matayana said in a column that the four crowns have made Chinatown a hundred times more valuable, especially the Club World Cup.

“The prize money for winning the Club World Cup is four million euros, the prize money for winning the European Super Cup is three million euros, and the prize money for winning the Copa del Rey is one million euros. It is precisely these three humble trophies that have brought great excitement to Chinatown. Eight million euros in prize money.”

"Chinatown is known for its moderate annual salary and high game bonuses in terms of player treatment, but even if the player bonuses are deducted, the club still makes a huge profit, not to mention the brand that winning the championship brings to Chinatown. Value enhancement.”

"As far as I know, many sponsors have almost crossed the threshold of Chinatown, hoping to invite Chinatown to play a commercial game during the winter break. The appearance fee is as high as two million euros, which is the highest in European football, exceeding Real Madrid and Barcelona fully demonstrate the appeal of Chinatown in the commercial field."

"According to Chinatown's plan, the team will go to Qatar in the Middle East for training during the winter break. A sponsorship contract will be signed here. Together with the income from commercial competitions, it is expected to bring the team up to 7 million euros in revenue. .”

"A lot of people are questioning Chinatown's four-time champion, but I think the reasons for questioning are very funny."

"There is no doubt that 2014 will be an overall bumper year for Chinatown."

"After the opening of the new stadium, the club's revenue has increased dramatically. The four-time crown has also given the team fame and fortune. The average age of the team's lineup is still the youngest in La Liga. Such a team is undoubtedly thriving and will only get better in the future."

But in the sixteenth round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid defeated Athletic Bilbao 4-1 away from home.

Due to Chinatown's participation in the Club World Cup, the sixteenth round was postponed. Therefore, Atletico Madrid successfully caught up with Chinatown in the standings, and with their mutual performance advantage, beat Chinatown and returned to the top of La Liga, winning the half-way champion.

But everyone knows that Chinatown has one fewer game than Atletico Madrid. It faces Sevilla at home, and it is very likely to win. If it is not affected by the Club World Cup, Chinatown will probably win the half-time championship. What's in the bag.

While Chinatown was making a lot of money in Europe, in China, the national football team also ushered in the last three warm-up games before the Asian Cup.

Perrin led his team to beat Kyrgyzstan 4-0 and 2-0 respectively, and drew 0-0 with Palestine.

After French coach Perrin took office, he played a total of twelve warm-up matches, with six wins, five draws and one loss. Since they were all home games and all warm-up matches, the opponents were of varying strengths, so the warm-up match results were quite satisfactory.

As the Asian Cup approaches, everyone is worried about Perrin's team.

They performed well in the warm-up matches, but performed in a mess in the key competition. This is not unprecedented for the national football team.

The poor record in the past has made all fans dare not place too high hopes on the national football team, for fear that too high expectations will lead to greater disappointment.

But no matter how much everyone looks down on the national football team, even if they scold the national football team on Weibo and the Internet, they are mostly just bluffing. Deep down in everyone's heart, they still hope that their curses will have an effect. Let the national football team work hard and strive to achieve a satisfactory result in the Asian Cup so that everyone can see the results they hope for.

As long as the national football team can rise, even if it is severely slapped in the face, it is a happy thing.

Gao Han also deliberately returned to China after Christmas and published a long post on Weibo again, expressing his expectations for the national football team, hoping that the national football team could put down their psychological baggage and make persistent efforts.

"Come on! You can do it!" Gao Han encouraged him in his long post.
