Chapter 940: The long night is long, and we go our separate ways (ha
(I remembered wrongly before, I didn’t participate in 03, and I was the third one in 04)
When the young national youth players saw the national team leader emerging, many guys jumped out.
In fact, many people don’t have mobile phones, only some of them are, such as Chen Tao, who has already played in the professional league, and Dong Fangzhuo, who is legendary about to go to Manchester United.
"team leader!"
"Don't worry, we will definitely bring the Toulon Cup back!" Chen Tao, as the captain of this national youth team, expressed his determination on behalf of everyone.
"Chen Tao, the ball needs to be kicked out with your feet. If you win, let's talk about it. I'm optimistic about you in the first game against Colombia."
"Dong Fangzhuo, it's time for you to perform. Before going to Manchester United, show some awesome performances."
"Feng Xiaoting, remember you want to be the best central defender in the world! This is your stage."
"I'll watch you live broadcast games on TV."
The Toulon Cup is perhaps the most famous youth event in the world that is not officially organized by FIFA.
Its qualifications are older than the World Youth Championship. FIFA did not organize the first Youth World Cup until 1977, and the first Toulon Cup was held in 1967. At that time, the club was invited to participate, and the second in 1974 was the national team. It was not until the third in 1975 that it was changed to the national youth team, just like today.
From 1974 to the present, the Toulon Cup has been held every summer and has never stopped, so it has become an incubator for young players from all over the world. It has witnessed the growth of Zidane, Alan Shearer, and Beckham. Seeing the 18-year-old Ronaldo taking the last bus to participate in the competition, but eventually became the thigh of the Portuguese U20. He also witnessed the Chinese player Chen Tao shining with Toulon, but later injured Zhongyong...
This Chinese team is in Group A, and their opponents are not weak at all.
Group A is China, Argentina, England, Türkiye, Portugal...
Zheng Zhi remembers that the final champion was Portugal, and there was Ronaldo in the Portuguese team...
However, the best player in the competition was not Ronaldo, but Argentine Mascherano. God knows how the organizing committee selected it. Although Ronaldo won the championship, he was not the best player. Of course, Ronaldo was only 18 years old at this time, two years younger than ordinary people.
However, the average age of the Chinese team is not very high, and it can be said that it is the youngest in the entire competition.
The head coach who led the team also became Clauchen, not the domestic coach. Everything has changed, so Zheng Zhi has great expectations for this team.
The Chinese team took the first bye...
In this way, the Chinese national youth team can watch Argentina VS Türkiye and Portugal VS England with peace of mind.
Although it was the early morning game, Zheng Zhi still waited in front of the TV and watched the live broadcast.
Damn, I don’t know if I don’t look at it, I’m shocked when I see it.
Portugal swept England 8:0, it was like a college student hitting an elementary school student, and England had no backhand power at all.
However, the match between Argentina and Türkiye was relatively normal, with a score of 3:2.
After the game, the young national youth players went on a QQ group chat again.
"This is how England is?"
"Damn it, I actually lost 0:8!"
Feng Xiaoting is very excited.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhi suddenly jumped out, "That's an illusion."
"It's not that England is too delicious, but that Portugal is very strong. To be precise, it's not that Portugal is strong, it's just that little Ronaldo."
"Don't be misled by the score!"
"Ah, Brother Zhi, why are you still here? Don't you rest so late?"
Feng Xiaoting was startled and quickly greeted Zheng Zhi.
"I'm ready to go to bed, but I'm bored, so I followed the game. Oh, there's nothing to do now. Apart from sleeping and eating, aren't I just watching football games?"
It’s really helpless. Zheng Zhi has become an ordinary fan now, staying up late to watch the football game!
But what can I do? If I can’t exercise, I can only gain weight while lying down and waiting for my body to walk, so that I can recover slowly...
"Okay, Brother Zhi, we can only comfort you mentally."
"Back to the point, don't be careless in the first game against England. If you want to qualify, you must get second in the group. If you want to qualify, it will be too difficult."
When he thought that Ronaldo had developed early, it was basically impossible to win Portugal, so he could only fight Argentina to the second place in the group.
"That little Ronaldo is really scary. Dong Fangzhuo always tells me how powerful he is. When I watch the game today, I feel even more terrifying than in the league."
"Well, just know, think about how to defend him. If anyone of you can defend him, you may have the chance to become world-class."
Zheng Zhi encouraged.
Keep him in check? Well, that's unlikely... Maybe Feng Xiaoting still has some chance?
The Chinese media is just funny.
Because England lost 0:8, the media predicted that the Chinese team could win the England team at least 2:0, followed by the second game against Turkey, and the Chinese team should also win. The third game against Argentina is a tough battle, and Argentina is the biggest threat to the Chinese team.
As for Portugal? Not considered yet...
Zheng Zhi browsed the news on the Internet and found two news that had just been released, both of which were big news!
——Big big! Robben joined Real Madrid! The two sides signed a contract for five years, with the transfer fee of 26 million pounds.
——Big Big news! Ronaldo joins Manchester United! Both sides have signed a contract for five years, with a transfer fee of 30 million pounds!
It appears almost at the same time.
So, the transfer of these two guys has been settled, one goes to Real Madrid and the other goes to Manchester United. He is not worried about Ronaldo, but about Robben. It is not easy to play football in Real Madrid.
After Ronaldo was trained by Ferguson, he was probably going to ascend again...
"This Manchester United team is terrible, right?"
"Royce on the left, Ribery on the right, and Rooney in the middle? Damn! Giggs is still strong, will the Manchester United dynasty be reopened? Will Arsenal be tragic? Can Chelsea rise rapidly?"
"Why did it turn out like this?" Zheng Zhi suddenly burst into laughter.
The situation in football is really completely different from before, and it is even more exciting than I imagined.
But that's fine, maybe it may not be possible that there will be no Merro fighting for the world again in the future?
And the Kaka who hasn't won the Golden Globes yet?
Unexpectedly, at this moment, my phone rang. I saw that it was called by Xiao Xiao Luo. It was already three o'clock in the morning. It was probably because Xiao Xiao Luo didn't know the difference between European time and Asian time.
Of course I was very excited to tell him that he would join Manchester United?
Robben was more meticulous, and he then just sent a text message to Zheng Zhi. This is the difference...
Zheng Zhi all sent them blessings.
Chapter completed!
