The Chinese national youth team did not create miracles in France, and they were not able to stand out from the group stage in Group A.

The first game against England was 1:1, proving that it was not that England was too weak, but that Portugal was too strong.

In the second game, the score was 2:1 and he won the first victory.

In the third game, Argentina killed them 3:2.

In the last game, although Portugal came on as a substitute, it still won the Chinese National Youth Team 2:0.

After four games, the National Youth Team ranked third from the bottom with one win, one draw and two losses.

For the young players in the national youth, this result is naturally disappointing. They thought they could shine in the Toulon Cup, but they did not expect that the reality was so cruel.

Especially for guys like Chen Tao, Feng Xiaoting and Dong Fangzhuo who are full of futures, they must be very willing.

"You are still young,"

“The 2004 Toulon Cup can continue,”

"There is still a chance in the 2005 World Youth Championship."

"You have two years left,"

"In 2006, I hope to see you in the national team!"

Zheng Zhi once again encouraged them after they were eliminated. The performance of the Toulon Cup does not matter, but what is important is that they can continue to grow in failure.

The best player in this game was taken away by Ronaldo. It was no longer Mascherano, which also made Zheng Zhi feel a little relieved. At least he "his own people" won the Best Toulon Cup championship.

The national team competition is coming soon.

After the Toulon Cup, the Federation Cup, which was also held in France, also began in full swing.

The teams participating in this Federation Cup are the 2000 European Cup champion, the host France team, the 2000 Asian Cup champion China team, the 2001 American Cup champion Colombia team, the 2002 African Cup champion Cameroon team, the 2002 World Cup champion Brazil team, the 4th place in the World Cup South Korea team, the 2002 Oceania National Cup champion New Zealand team, and the 2002 Central and North America and the Caribbean Gold Cup champion.

The Chinese team ranked all the main players to play, but Zheng Zhi was missing...

The lineup is still quite strong.

The Chinese team was assigned to Group A.

Group A: France, China, Colombia, New Zealand

Group B: Brazil, South Korea, Cameroon, United States

The grouping is still relatively uniform, but this time it was the first time in five years that there was a lack of Zheng Zhi, and everyone was unsure.

However, the Chinese team still performed very well in the first game.

Winning New Zealand 3:0, Yang Chen, Xie Hui and Fan Zhiyi scored the goal.

However, the Chinese team lost 1:2 to the powerful French team in the second game.

In the third game, the Chinese team lost 0:1 to Colombia.

In the end, he missed the team qualifying.

The French team eventually won the Confederation Cup, and Brazil did not even make the final in the 2002 World Cup champion.

The Chinese national team's performance is also very average.

That's all the stories of this summer...

Subsequently, the 2003-04 season kicked off. Zheng Zhi did not go to London, England, but continued to stay in China for recuperation.

In the first round of the Premier League, Zheng Zhi's new owner Chelsea challenged Liverpool at Anfield.

Zheng Zhi watched the game in front of the TV.

Although Chelsea recruits players this season and the lineup is quite luxurious, Liverpool is still more favored.

Chinese player Fan Zhiyi is still in the Liverpool team, so there are quite a lot of fans who support Liverpool or Chelsea.

Irving scored a first goal in the ninth minute by penalty kick, but then Chelsea launched a fierce attack, with Peron and Hasselbaink scoring two goals in a row, and Chelsea won the first round 2:1.

Zheng Zhi immediately sent Mourinho to congratulations.

Maybe Mourinho can create miracles in his first year?

The next day, the English media also praised Chelsea, believing that they will be one of the most powerful contenders in the league this year.

In the second round, Chelsea once again won Newcastle with a score of 2:1, winning two consecutive games!

The third round of Chelsea matches were postponed.

But Chelsea drew Blackburn 2:2 at home in the fourth round.

In the fifth round, Chelsea continued to beat Tottenham Hotspur 4:2 at home!

In the first five rounds, there were four wins and one draw, Chelsea showed strong championship strength.

In the sixth round, Chelsea defeated Wolves 5:0 away, and it was unstoppable!

It seems that Chelsea is going to win the championship.

Zheng Zhi knew very well that Ranieri was led by the team this season, but Ranieri did not lead the team to win the final championship, but now it is Mourinho.

Can Mourinho lead the team to make a successful counterattack?

With the seventh round approaching, Chelsea's form fell back, but it still defeated the visiting Aston Villa 1:0. They were still strongly ranked first, and no one could shake their position.

Then, 2:1 defeated Middlesbrough.

Until the ninth round, Chelsea challenged Arsenal away.

finally,

They lost.

Losed the game 1:2.

And it was a Chinese who made Chelsea lose the game.

His name is Ou Chuliang.

If Ou Chuliang hadn't played bravely on the goal line, Chelsea might have been able to win the game, but the legendary goalkeeper Ou Chuliang of the Chinese team helped Arsenal win.

Chelsea scored 18 shots in the whole game and 10 shots to the goal. Ou Chuliang only allowed Chelsea to score one goal, among which Ou Chuliang also rejected Hasselbaink's penalty.

There is no way.

Zheng Zhi finally remembered that this season is the unbeaten season for Arsenal to win the championship! They are invincible in the Premier League.

It’s not that Chelsea is not strong enough, but that Arsenal is too powerful.

In this game, another player, Sun Jihai, also performed very well. He stared at Joe Cole and Duff with almost no mistake.

Although he lost the league, Chelsea made great progress in the Champions League and easily advanced to the second stage of the group stage as the first in the group.

Mourinho told everyone with practical actions that as long as the team is coached, he is the most powerful contender for the championship everywhere.

Back in the league, they defeated Manchester City and Everton 1:0, and then slaughtered Newcastle 5:0. They returned to the top position. Although Arsenal still had an unbeaten record, their points were not as high as Chelsea.

The whole world believes that Chelsea will win the Premier League championship, and perhaps only Zheng Zhi and Wenger believe it is Arsenal.

And at this time...

Zheng Zhi was also completely forgotten. He didn't show up in a few months, and no one could remember him.

His weight has also changed from 145 kilograms to 188 kilograms.

He became a big fat man. There was no way. He lie in the hospital bed for several months, eating and sleeping, and people would become fat.
