Chapter 231 The first champion(1/2)

Just when Fiorentina was training in Switzerland, the Chinese team played their last World Cup qualifier in South Korea. Since the Chinese team had already advanced early, Qiu Suhui had no overseas player, and it was all up to domestic players to play with the Korean team. The World Cup is a very intensive game. In addition to the strength of the main players, the ability of the substitute players is also very important. This game is the best opportunity to test the thickness of the bench.

As a result, the Chinese second team composed of domestic players carefully selected by Qiu Suhui also tied the South Korean team 1:1 in Seoul, the capital of South Korea. If the South Korean team had not lost two losses to Australia before, they might not have been able to go to South Africa.

The Chinese national team qualifying with an unbeaten record in the qualifiers has become the focus of attention. Many professional football media regard the Chinese team as a force that cannot be ignored in the World Cup. Finally, some people have admitted the strength of the Chinese team, which is Qiu Suhui's first goal after coaching the Chinese team.

During the training camp, Fiorentina also played an international friendly match. It defeated the Premier League powerhouse Manchester United 1:0, shook hands with Schalke 2:2 and made peace with him, lost to Chelsea 2:4, and defeated a local amateur team in Switzerland 10:0.

In addition to the last game that allows players to accumulate confidence, the opponents in the first three games are not weak, and none of them are Serie A teams. Sabato has clearly set his sights on Europe. One of the most important tasks of Fiorentina this season is the European Champions League.

Since it is a champion, Fiorentina does not have to play in the Italian Cup before the league starts. Their debut in the Italian Cup will be in December, after four rounds of the Italian Cup. Before the start of the season, the most important game is the Italian Super Cup.

The League Champions vs. the Cup Champions.

The league champion of last season was Fiorentina, while the cup champion was Inter Milan, so this game was considered a strong dialogue.

But in fact, this game is far from exciting. Because of the long vacation, many players have not yet entered the game state, and the game is very dull. Both sides make fewer mistakes. Even if they play four friendly matches, the intensity of the friendly match cannot be compared with the official matches, because this is the first champion of the season, so both sides attach great importance to it.

Li Yongle is still responsible for taking care of Zhang Jun. Since Zhang Jun became famous, Li Yongle has become an expert in Inter Milan's specialized control of him. However, this time, Li Yongle found that he could not keep up with Zhang Jun's rhythm. Zhang Jun's running position in the frontcourt became more and more erratic, and he had almost achieved the right level of doing whatever he wanted. No matter where he appeared, Kru's passes could always be delivered in time, and then he would make the decision to shoot or pass the ball in the shortest time.

As Zhang Jun's time to hold the ball has decreased, Li Yongle's difficulty in marking is increasing, because players who do not take the ball will always be flexible and freer than players who take the ball.

He wouldn't know that this was the result of the practice of Zhang Jun and Kruga in summer, which greatly improved their tacit understanding. In the past, the two needed to communicate through their eyes, but now they can initially achieve the need to use their eyes, movements and words, but through their hearts. Kru knows how Zhang Jun will run and where it will appear. He knows when it will be transmitted to, and Zhang Jun will definitely appear there.

Such a casual cooperation made Li Yongle and Inter Milan a little at a loss in defense. Because when you focus all your attention on the transmission and cutting between Kru and Zhang Jun, they will not do this, but will pass it to other people.

Therefore, when Mascherano passed the football to Cru and Zhang Jun immediately ran to the left, Li Yongle hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to stick to the middle or follow Zhang Jun to the side. When he finally made up his attention to chasing Zhang Jun, Cru immediately passed the ball with his heel and knocked the football into the penalty area from the middle. There should be no player from Fiorentina at that position, but for some reason, Zhang Jun, who was supposed to be on the side, suddenly appeared there, then received the football, passed the last Inter Milan defensive player, and then faced Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar, and shot. The football flew past Cesar and entered the net!

The clean and neat goal made Fiorentina fans cheer.

Li Yongle looked at Zhang Jun’s back with surprise: When did he appear there?!

Running like ghosts, sprinting like lightning.

Zhang Jun's growth has completely exceeded Li Yongle's expectations.

In terms of defense, Xiang Tao trained with Zhang Jun and Cru, and did not get anything. He was able to compete with the current Serie A top scorer every day, and his defensive kung fu growth was not a little bit. Adriano could clearly feel pressure when facing Xiang Tao. He could only be glad that Xiang Tao is the left back and he didn't have to meet the opponent often.

Xiang Tao is very strong, and he loses to Adriano in this regard. In addition, he is not weak at the speed. In addition, he is very good at positioning, runs actively, and bounces well. He has almost all the qualities that excellent defenders must possess. The only thing he lacks is fame. His fame is not big enough, unlike Nesta, Cannavaro, Rio Ferdinand, Ramos and others who have a very high reputation.

But if a forward is contemptuous of Xiang Tao because he is not very famous, the last one is the forward. At the least, the ball is cut off, and at worst, the ball will be directly off the court...

Martins held that his speed was not inferior to anyone in the world, so he planned to force a breakthrough on Xiang Tao's side, but Xiang Tao had no intention of competing with him at all. He directly flew from the side and drove Martins out of the sideline. The referee blew the whistle to indicate that Fiorentina was fouled, but did not play Xiang Tao. Because although it was fierce to find a move, it did not hurt anyone.

Martins was a little dissatisfied and wanted to argue with the referee, but was pulled by Li Yongle. "It's useless. Xiang's small movements and the timing of his footing are very terrible. He can make you feel very painful, but he is not punished by the rules..." Although he admired Xiang Tao's ability very much when playing for the national team, as a club's opponent, Li Yongle hated this behavior of taking advantage of the rules and loopholes.

Even Zhang Jun suffered a lot of losses in Xiang Tao's small movements, let alone Martins. The only one who can escape from Xiang Tao's small movements is probably Cru-Li, who is better at using small movements than him.

Fiorentina led 1:0, forcing Inter Milan to attack with all their might.

Inter Milan has been much better in recent years than before. Since Mancini established Li Yongle's core position, Inter Milan's performance in a certain stage of each season is better than in the same period in history. However, since they won a league championship, they have unfortunately encountered Fiorentina, which has risen rapidly like Shenzhen in the early days of reform and opening up. At the same time, there is also AC Milan who coached by Basten, which takes offensive as his mission and has a lot of money to squander. In addition, Juventus, who has always been scheming, Mancini has claimed that Inter Milan will be the final champion every year in the past two years, but AC Milan will be AC ​​Milan in the first year and Fiorentina in the second year.

After Morati withdrew, Facheti was no longer as comfortable as before in spending money, and Inter Milan's team was basically fixed. Mancini knew that if he wanted to take the lead in Florence, which continuously strengthened his own strength, the Super Cup at the beginning of the season was the best opportunity, and he would slash Florence's agility.

There are only two people who can give Mancini such confidence now: Adriano, the second scorer in Serie A for two consecutive times and Li Yongle, the best midfielder in Serie A. Whether it is AC Milan's Pirlo, Juventus' Emerson, or Roma's De Rossi and Fiorentina's Mascherano, they are not as good as Li Yongle of Inter Milan.

He is a truly talented player with excellent offense and defense. Whether it is defense, organizational offense, or shooting in person, Li Yongle is a good player. It is precisely because of his scheduling that Inter Milan has no worries about the qualification for the Champions League every year that they can look forward to continuing to win the league championship trophy.

Unexpectedly, one Florence and one Zhang Jun emerged halfway. Even Europe has felt terrible in its rise in the past two years, let alone him?

What Mancini didn't expect was that although Li Yongle was from Inter Milan, he was more excited than anyone else to have an excellent opponent like Zhang Jun. Other Inter Milan players sighed because of the rise of Fiorentina, but he felt excited and impulsive.

After seeing that Zhang Jun is even better than last season, Li Yongle was surprised at the beginning, and soon found the excitement.

The stronger the opponent is, the more meaningful your existence will be.

This is Li Yongle's philosophy of life.

Therefore, under Inter Milan's unremitting bombardment, Fiorentina's defense still showed a crack. Li Yongle seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and cooperated with Adriano with a two-for-one match, and then broke in and scored in person.

Inter Milan successfully tied the score 1:1 at the end of the first half.

The game between the two sides gradually improved in the second half, and the exciting scenes gradually increased. This was all due to two goals in the last stage of the first half. Without these two goals, the second half would never have been in the state so quickly at the beginning.

Mancini kept standing on the sidelines in the second half and shouting. He valued the victory of this game very seriously. Although the team's current performance is better than the same period in history, he can't win the championship and cannot explain it to the board of directors.

This is the first champion of the 2009/10 season, and Inter Milan is bound to win!

However, Sabato is also the same idea as Mancini. For this hooligan, although Fiorentina's goal this season is to win the league and the Champions League, it is also a very good thing to add another trophy to his team's honor room.

What's more, this is a great opportunity to promote Florence's strength and fame. Sabato wants everyone to know that there is a team like "Fiorentina". They are invincible and defeated. They are like locusts, sweeping away all the championship trophys in front of them.

So Sabato also jumped around the sidelines, shouting loudly to remind his team to maintain formation and pay attention to offense.

The two sides fought back and forth for every inch of space on the court, and this deadlock was known to be broken by Fiorentina in the second half of the second half.

The goal was not Zhang Jun, but it was inseparable from Zhang Jun's ghostly running position. Zhang Jun had been using his running position to disrupt Inter Milan's defense, so every time Zhang Jun sprinted, Inter Milan focused all his attention on him. Unexpectedly, Cru did not pass the football to Zhang Jun this time, but rubbed his feet outside and passed it to Morientes, who replaced Pazini in the second half.

This was a pick-through, and the football passed high above the Inter Milan defenders and then flew to the back point.

Morientes relies on his strong body and excellent aerial heading skills to become a first-class striker. Crew knew Morientes' habits well, so he did not pass the ground ball, but passed a difficult aerial ball, and he wanted Morientes to show his best side.

Ren Yudi, who watched the game on the rostrum, knew Morientes' specialties. When he played the Champion Football Manager, he knew that in terms of technical data, Morientes' headers and bounces were all twenty, and there was no downward trend for a long time. This is very scary. The Champion Football Manager has always been known for its authenticity and credibility. Ren Yudi believes in Morientes, just as Crew believes in Morientes.

Morientes did not disappoint the trust of these people. He inserted into the back row, then jumped high, and rushed to the top in the air with a powerful head!

Because of the sudden pass of Cru's pass, Morientes did not have any Inter Milan player around him, and he could head the ball with all his attention!

Morientes's ball was quite tricky, and it was indeed the center forward who was good at heading. Although Cesar tried his best to save it, he still couldn't save the header that went straight to the back post of the goal!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Morientes!!! He scored his first goal since joining Fiorentina! This is so beautiful! Fiorentina took the lead again!"

After scoring the goal, Morientes seemed quite excited. He was so excited that he even took off his clothes and threw them out, thinking naked and roaring in the stands.

From Real Madrid to Monaco, then to Liverpool, now Fiorentina, he should have been a great Real Madrid No. 9, but it was because of his gentle and elegant personality that he was not favored by Florentino that he had been displaced all the way in his career, but rarely did he achieve anything that made him proud. Even the Spanish national team is an optional person. At the end of his career, the Spanish national team has completely closed the door to him.

He wanted to prove himself, but no one gave him this opportunity.

After coming to Fiorentina, Sabato's training plan was almost always formulated by considering that the majority of young players in the team were involved. Morientes was a little uncomfortable when he started, and some training programs were too intense, which made him unable to bear it. After all, he was thirty-three years old, and he was not as old as before.

But the obsession in his heart that he wanted to prove himself still made him grit his teeth and survive. He did not relax his demands because he was older. He was as good-for-hard as the younger generations ten years younger than him, and he did not do anything worse than anyone else.

Sabato saw all these things, otherwise how could he let Morientes play in this game?

Zhang Jun saw it all, so when Morientes scored, he excitedly held the other party in his arms and shouted to him: "Haha! Momo, I know you can do it! You can do it! You can do it!!"

Momo - Zhang Jun insisted on calling Morientes this, not "Fernando", because as a Real Madrid fan, he would feel friendly only when he shouted like this. When he heard Zhang Jun's call at this moment, Morientes felt like he was back to Real Madrid. At that time, he and Raul fought side by side, celebrating victory and championship together. They were wearing white clothes, Raul was like a handsome young man, and he would always be the best friend of this young man in white... But now he is separated from one side, and when he meets him again, he is only the enemy and opponent.

Morientes felt his face wet and he cried.

※※※

In this game, Fiorentina finally defeated again with two goals from Zhang Jun and Morientes - uh, why say it again? He defeated Inter Milan again and won their first championship trophy in the new season: the Italian Super Cup.

For Ren Yudi, this is a good sign. No matter what he won the Super Cup, he couldn't win the league championship. He was very pragmatic. Now that there is a champion in front of him, there is no reason for the fat he got to slip away.

Since then, there has been an Italian Super Cup in the 2009/10 season in the honor room of Fiorentina. When the team took a photo with the trophy in the stadium, the scene of them winning the league championship trophy seemed to be yesterday.

Ren Yudi stood on the rostrum, applauding and smiling with all the guests. He seemed to be a very qualified club chairman. This champion is also the cornerstone for him to consolidate his rule.

If you want to sit in this position for a longer time, you must keep winning the championship. Although football is happy, Ren Yudi, as the chairman of a club, knows that professional football only recognizes the championship trophy.

※※※

The joy of winning the Italian Super Cup was soon thrown behind. Florence continued to prepare for the new season, with eight days left before the start of the season. Sabato must seize these eight days to improve the tactics in his mind.

Zhang Jun and Sophie have not been warm for a few days.

At dinner that day, Sophie told Zhang Jun about her thoughts that she had been thinking about in Luoyang for more than a month.

"Zhang Jun, I decided to quit my current job as a journalist."

Zhang Jun was a little surprised. He remembered that Sophie had mentioned this to him before, but asked him to persuade him to go back. "Why, the job is not going well?"

Sophie shook her head: "Everyone is very good to me, and Brother Li takes good care of me. But I think it is not my ideal to be a simple sports photographer."

Zhang Jun put down his chopsticks, then looked at Sophie opposite him and signaled her to continue talking.

"Since I learned photography with my uncle, my uncle has always been my goal. I hope to be able to walk around the world with my feet and record my journey with my camera like my uncle. I think this is my ideal. When I went back, I talked to Teacher Liang for a few words and realized what I want to do now. I am twenty-seven years old this year, and so is Zhang Jun. You have won so many championship trophys and Golden Boot Awards, but I still achieved nothing. So I think this is my last chance, maybe I should go out and have a look."

After Sophie finished speaking, she remained silent and waited for Zhang Jun's answer.

Zhang Jun looked at the face opposite. Sophie didn't say it. He didn't realize that they were already twenty-seven. Time flies so fast! Thinking about the time he first arrived at Warren Dam, it seemed to be yesterday. Thinking about the first time with Sophie, it seemed to be the day before yesterday, everything was not so far away, but why has it been more than ten years in a flash?

Zhang Jun shook his head, Sophie thought Zhang Jun would not agree.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jun smiled and said, "If this is your ideal, then you can go. I have no objection. Although I love you, I can't hold you back."

Although it was an old couple, Sophie was still very moved. "I'm leaving, you have to take good care of yourself..."

Zhang Jun smiled again: "Don't worry, I can still take care of myself. Don't forget that I teach you cooking skills, haha! I'm in Florence, it's no big deal. Don't worry about me, but you, be careful outside by yourself. If you have no money, call me and I'll send you a transfer. If you miss me, call me, write me a letter, send photos together, and let me see where you have been. Although I know that the place you are going will not be close, you can come back and stay for a few days if you have time..."

Sophie wiped her eyes with her hands: "Hate, when did it become so wordy..." Her voice was trembling slightly.

※※※

Since this matter has been decided, then do it. Sophie quickly went to Li Yan's place and asked Li Yan to help her resignation procedures. Although the domestic headquarters was reluctant to leave, leaving Sophie means that the recent news sources around Zhang Jun were missing, Sophie was determined to go and could not keep it. Then she packed her luggage and purchased some necessary items. Enjoy the last warmth.

Sophie joked that Zhang Jun was like a separation from life and death, and she was not coming back. But Zhang Jun quickly blocked Sophie's mouth with his lips, and he could not say such things randomly.

Sophie's plan was to start with Western Europe. She decided to go to the place where Zhang Jun started his career - Warrendham, the Netherlands. Then go south and go to France. The remaining distance is only decided on the journey.

On the way to send Sophie to Milan, Zhang Jun drove and Sophie sat in the passenger seat.
