Super Marshal

February 24, Turin, Italy, Juventus Stadium.

I flew from Australia in the hot summer back to BJ in the ice and snow, and then to the freezing Europe. The high cold wrapped me up like a snowman, wearing a thick woolen coat, a fluffy scarf, and a hat, sitting down. In the stands of visiting fans who follow the team, it is really not easy to be recognized.

The game entered a fast pace from the beginning, and Chinatown has been in very good shape recently.

In just three minutes, Chinatown took the lead in breaking through Juventus' goal.

It was a cooperation from the left side of the frontcourt. Alex Sandro advanced to attack the frontcourt and stopped the ball to Hazard.

The Belgian took the ball and shook it continuously. After attracting double-teams from two defensive players, he suddenly passed the ball to Isco who came in from behind. The Spaniard dribbled the ball and forced a breakthrough before crossing to the goal.

Pogba, who was also inserted in the back row, was tall and long-legged. He took the first step and sent the ball into the goal guarded by Buffon.

This goal completely broke the deadlock on the field.

After that, Chinatown firmly controlled the ball, and Juventus used a more aggressive style of play to stop Chinatown. In the first half alone, Juventus committed 16 fouls, creating a record in the Champions League this season. The number of fouls committed in the first half of the league was the highest, but it also effectively contained Chinatown's offense.

However, in the second half, after Juventus' physical fitness declined slightly, Chinatown began to get consecutive opportunities to kick the ball. However, Juventus' goalkeeper Buffon performed very bravely and repeatedly resolved Chinatown's inevitable goals.

In the fifty-fifth minute, Chinatown got another chance.

After Hazard got the ball on the left side, he took it horizontally to the middle, and cooperated with Isco and Firmino's continuous passes. Hazard got the ball on the right side of the arc in the penalty area, broke into the penalty area, and directly kicked the ball towards the goal. .

Buffon's attention was always on Hazard, and he reacted quickly and flew to block the ball. However, after the ball rebounded back to the penalty area, Firmino picked it up in front of the goal and calmly pushed the ball forward, making it two to zero.

After scoring two goals in a row, Chinatown's offense relaxed a bit, and Juventus launched a counterattack.

But in the 68th minute, Chinatown launched a counterattack. Alex Sandro dribbled the ball from the left to the left side of the penalty area and passed in. Griezmann headed seven meters in front of the goal with no one guarding him. The ball hit, further expanding the score.

The entire Juventus Stadium was filled with the cheers of Chinatown fans.

Three to zero, Chinatown showed a superior strength than Juventus.

When the old woman faced Chinatown, she was almost helpless to fight back and was defeated like a mountain.

“Serie A is in decline!”

Gao Han put his hands in the warm pockets of his wool coat, but shook his head and sighed with regret in his heart.

The decline of Serie A should have started with the Calciopoli. After that, Inter Milan became the dominant player. However, in recent years, with the recession of Italy’s economic environment, the signs of the overall decline of Serie A have become more and more obvious.

Over the years, Inter Milan has been like a giant in Italy, especially after the completion of the new stadium. The financial resources of the entire club and the competitiveness of the team are comprehensively ahead of other competitors, including Juventus.

But even Inter Milan is no longer as competitive as it was in the European League in previous years, at most the Champions League quarter-finals.

"Yes, Juventus' lineup may be able to shake Inter Milan in Serie A, but in the Champions League, it is difficult to be competitive enough. There were rumors that they would poach Marchisio from Inter Milan, but the Blues The Black Legion refuses to let him go, and Benitez’s team still has a clear lead in Serie A this season," Cantarero said.

Gao Han laid a solid foundation for Inter Milan that year, not only the first team lineup, but also the youth training camp.

Over the years, the Nerazzurri gained a new stadium by selling off the lineup left by Gao Han. Players such as Bonucci, Hamsik and Marchisio left by Gao Han are still there today. He is still the backbone of this team. This season, Miranda and Pellet were hired from Chinatown, and the overall strength has been steadily improved.

Judging from the current situation, Inter Milan is still the flag of Serie A.

This is somewhat different from the prediction of high cold weather that year.

In fact, Gao Han is very optimistic about Juventus, especially the management of the Bianconeri. He believes that this management team is even better than Inter Milan, but he did not expect one thing, that is, the value of European football players. soared.

The two big tycoon teams, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, have spent hundreds of millions in one go. In the past two years, Real Madrid and Barcelona have also spent over 100 million or even hundreds of millions of euros. In addition, Manchester United Premier League teams led by , Chelsea and Arsenal are relying on the profits brought by the soaring broadcast fees.

It can be said that the entire European football transfer market is now in a state of extreme talent shortage.

Not to mention those first-tier stars, even the quasi-first-tier players, and even some talented young players, are all worth a hundred times as much.

When Paris Saint-Germain signed Neymar at a sky-high price, everyone thought Gao Han was crazy. Only a tycoon like Paris Saint-Germain would do such a crazy move. But what was the result?

Real Madrid spent 150 million euros on Neymar, and Paris Saint-Germain made a lot of money.

This even sounded a wake-up call for Chinatown, because Hazard's liquidated damages are only 200 million euros, which is obviously very dangerous.

The skyrocketing value of players has put a team like Juventus, which does not have strong youth training capabilities, in a very passive situation. Coupled with the overall downturn in Serie A, it will be difficult for the Bianconeri to compete in European football. Grab high-level players.

Three to zero, this can be said to be the strength gap between Chinatown and Juventus.

It can even be said that this is the gap between Serie A and La Liga.

As Gao Han, who once coached a Serie A team and directed the Calciopoli scandal, he did have a lot of feelings when he saw Chinatown beat Juventus 3-0 in an away game.

Returning to Spain from Italy with a score of three to zero, Chinatown's winning streak came to an abrupt end.

In the twenty-fifth round of La Liga, Chinatown was forced to equalize the score with Villarreal despite a drastic rotation and one goal ahead.

Marcelino's team can be called a strong sniper this season. They previously attacked Atletico Madrid and now drew with Chinatown in an away game, leaving a very deep impression on people.

Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid have all won successively, and the points gap between the top four has further narrowed, especially in Chinatown, where the lead is only a mere two points.

But if the brutal draw against Villarreal at home was just a small hurdle for the team, then in the 26th round, the unexpected 0-1 away defeat to Athletic Bilbao could be called the team’s winter break. The first crisis ushered in later.

Valverde's team's performance this season is not ideal, but their style is very tenacious, especially at home.

While Chinatown unexpectedly lost to Athletic Bilbao, Atletico Madrid was held to a 1-1 home draw by Valencia, but Barcelona defeated Rayo Vallecano 6-1 at home and reversed Chinatown to reach the top. .

After losing points in two consecutive rounds, the outside media once again made a fuss, and the talk of Chinatown's imminent collapse was once again noisy.

In the 27th round of La Liga, Chinatown finally withstood the pressure and defeated Levante 2-0 at home.

However, teams such as Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid also won successively, and Chinatown continued to rank second in La Liga.

However, both Zidane and Luis Enrique pinned all their hopes on the 28th round at the Camp Nou.

Midweek, the second leg of the Champions League knockout round of 16.

Chinatown was at home. Zidane played in a rotating semi-substitute lineup against Juventus. In the end, they won 2-1 at home and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals with a total score of 5-1.

The team Chinatown drew in the quarter-finals was Paris Saint-Germain of Ligue 1.

Back in La Liga, it’s the 28th round, and Chinatown is a guest at Camp Nou.

There is only one point between the two teams, and the winner of this battle will undoubtedly have more initiative on the road to winning the championship.

Both teams also tried their best to play, with Zidane and Luis Enrique both playing with their strongest lineups.

In the game between the two teams with the strongest offensive ability in La Liga, the most tested thing is undoubtedly the defense. Although Zidane is playing away from home, this game did not use the conservative double midfielder style again, but Be more aggressive.

After all, the two sides faced off for the first time, and Chinatown had the advantage.

But unexpectedly, a mistake by the defense resulted in a goal lost in the 19th minute. Messi used his personal ability to open the scoring for Barcelona.

Strictly speaking, we cannot blame the players for this conceding goal. We can only say that Messi's personal ability is too strong.

Chinatown equalized the score in the 31st minute. Morata assisted Hazard to bring the game back to the same starting line.

But in the second half, the side changed sides and the game was fought again. Alves assisted Suarez to score in the 56th minute, completely sealing the victory.

After that, Chinatown made a crazy counterattack, but was never able to score.

One to two, Chinatown lost to Camp Nou.

This battle not only caused Chinatown to lose a strong match and lost three points, but also caused the team's league ranking to drop rapidly to fourth place. Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid took advantage of Chinatown's defeat to counterattack. success.

The points gap between Chinatown and Barcelona quickly expanded to four points.

After the 28th round, the national team match day in March once again came.

Due to the crisis in Chinatown, Gao Han had to stay in Madrid in person to discuss the team's next game plan with Cantarero and Zidane and make early preparations. He really couldn't spare the time to return home to watch the game.

The national team training in March is the last two warm-up matches before the World Cup qualifiers. The opponents Haiti and Tunisia are both very strong, especially Tunisia, which is ranked 25th in the world, much higher than the national football team, and the training value is very high.

But facing these two outstanding opponents, the national football team still performed at a very good level. They drew with Haiti and Tunisia with scores of 2 to 2 and 1 to 1 respectively. Especially in the last game against Tunisia, the national football team played at a very good level. It took the 94th minute to equalize the score, which can be said to be a tenacious fight to the end.

This further makes everyone in the country feel happy, and the fans are even more excited.

It has been a long time since they have seen the national football team with such an outstanding spirit. Starting from the Asian Cup, this national football team has really gained people's confidence and saw the hope of China's return to the World Cup.

Tunisia head coach Likens spoke highly of national football coach Perrin and believed that he is a very good head coach. As long as there is enough time, the Chinese team will become more mature.

After these two games, Perrin's domestic reputation has reached a new level, the coaching environment has become more relaxed, and the national football team has regained confidence and is gearing up to launch an impact on the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

But the news Gao Han received made him feel a little worried amid his optimism.
