Chapter 160 The Chinese Derby(1/2)
Shen Lang's incident did not make the domestic news. During this period, the domestic media almost gave their limited coverage to Wu Jie and Chen Haonan in reporting on sports.
The reason is of course that these two people are competing for their reputation!
Wu Jie originally wanted to continue playing for a British team, but the draw for the Champions League semi-finals was very interesting.
Bayern drew Bulgaria's CSKA Sofia. This is a team similar to the Bayi team. It relies on absorbing the essence and blood of national teams to compete in the European continent. It is basically the majority of the Bulgarian national team. It is not well-known but its strength is not to be underestimated.
watch for.
Real Madrid drew Aston Villa, last season's English League One champion and another dark horse team similar to Nottingham Forest.
I have to say that British football did have something to offer in the late 1970s and early 1980s. There were always dark horses emerging that shocked Europe!
Wu Jie couldn't help but smile bitterly. Of course he hoped Real Madrid could win, but then the Champions League final would become a Chinese derby.
The Chinese media have spent their limited resources on these two teams during this period, just looking forward to seeing the Chinese Derby in Europe.
This sense of national pride and achievement, no matter where it is placed in the next forty years, will almost always make people across the country overjoyed.
On April 12, Bayern was tied 2:2 by CSKA Sofia in an away game.
This result exceeded media expectations, but was actually within reasonable limits.
Before the Bosman Act was enacted, the top giants in small European countries could often rely on internal blood to form a national team to compete in the Champions League. The original Real Madrid overturned this team.
Most of these little-known Bulgarian players are unpretentious and capable, with excellent tactical execution and fighting will. Bayern almost overturned in the away game.
But even so, an away draw is still acceptable, and two away goals are also very valuable.
But Bayern's reputation is too great now, and the away draw can only be considered barely qualified. The news from Real Madrid really made Chinese fans happy.
The first leg of the contest between Real Madrid and Aston Villa was held at the Bernabeu. Although the British were at a disadvantage, Real Madrid always had a little luck in scoring.
The two teams tied 1:1 in the first half. This result was not good for Real Madrid.
In the second half, Real Madrid coach Boskov replaced Chen Haonan again, and the situation on the field quickly changed.
Real Madrid's midfield problems were exposed as early as last year. Except for the German Uli Stilik, Del Bosque is more suitable as a coach, and Los Santos is a bit like a bastard.
This is why whenever Real Madrid replaces Chen Haonan, Real Madrid's midfielder not only immediately becomes tougher, but the offensive fluidity is also greatly enhanced. Del Bosque, a low-end version of Cesc Fabregas, can also display his intelligence.
Chen Haonan tried both positions as a defensive midfielder and an attacking midfielder in Real Madrid. In the end, according to his own wishes, Real Madrid agreed that he should stand slightly deeper and use his excellent overall view and long-distance passing dispatch to serve as the team's commander and metronome.
German Uli used his excellent breakthroughs and short passes in the frontcourt to attack the city.
The combination of these two people is reasonable, coupled with Del Bosque who always has the magic touch, Real Madrid completely suppressed Aston Villa in the midfield. After that, it was a matter of sooner or later to score.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Aston Villa 3:1 at home with goals from Santillana and Cunningham.
This makes their upcoming away trip much easier. Most European media have already sentenced Aston Villa to death in advance, and are looking forward to another collision between the two giants Real Madrid and Bayern.
Chen Haonan once again became the hero of the team's victory. Although he did not score a goal or assist in this game, his organization and dispatch in the backcourt fully utilized the threat of the two wingers. At the same time, he had high mobility and wide range of attack on the defensive end.
The defense also made Real Madrid's midfield much tougher.
Now not only the Spanish media believe that Chen Haonan should be allowed to start completely, but even the Real Madrid team believes that although Chen Haonan is young, he can definitely become the team's backcourt commander. Everyone trusts this low-key little guy.
Although the black star Cunningham was not interested in Chen Haonan at first because he was still thinking about the grudge against Wu Jie who tackled him last season.
But after getting along with him for half a season, he has now become Chen Haonan's number one supporter and completely regards Chen Haonan as a brother.
Of course, Chen Haonan would not be cold-hearted. He indeed regarded An Ning'an as one of his best superficial brothers.
Because not only did he win the favor of Cunningham, Uli Stillik also praised this little guy who made his butt feel extremely safe.
Even Juanito, who has some discrimination against Chinese Americans, feels that Chen Haonan is an important puzzle piece to make up for Real Madrid's shortcomings. At least this Chinese who trains diligently, plays actively and seriously, and is disciplined and self-disciplined in his private life off the court is far better than fooling around off the court and training frequently.
An Ning'an, who is late and extremely undisciplined in her private life, is much more pleasing to the eye.
This is also the view of the Madrid media and fans. Chen Haonan really cannot find any shortcomings in his private life. His strict and self-disciplined private life is simply an example for any professional player.
Therefore, in the past six months, the media and fans in Madrid, including the Spanish media, have been very fond of this Chinese, and his reputation is much better than Cunningham.
In addition, although Chen Haonan's style of play is not the kind of player whose statistics are very good, everyone who plays with him can feel his role, including fans and the media, who can also feel the difference between him being on the court and not.
Of course, Boskov has no prejudice against Chen Haonan. The reason why he did not let Chen Haonan start is exactly the opposite. It was entirely for the purpose of protection.
A 16-year-old future star, no matter how mature and mature he is, cannot physically develop as well as an adult player.
Although La Liga's defense is not as brutal and brutal as that of English League One and Serie A, it is not without all kinds of dangerous tackles and fouls.
If Chen Haonan is seriously injured in the game, at this age, it is very likely that there will be an ending that everyone will regret.
Therefore, he has always controlled Chen Haonan's playing time. Facing those teams whose defense is rough and brutal, he also tries not to let Chen Haonan take risks.
But this kind of protection seems to be unable to keep up with Chen Haonan's growth rate. Chen Haonan has grown to 164cm in mid-April.
This height is actually no shorter than Maradona, and may even be slightly higher, because the debate over whether the old horse is 163cm or 165cm has never been clear.
At this time, Chen Haonan not only reached the level of a football champion in height, but his attributes were also much higher than half a year ago.
Chen Haonan: Height 164cm↑, weight 61kg↑, athletic talent (????)
"Comprehensive ability":85↑
"Attack":81↑
"Defense":83↑

Originally, Chen Haonan also had the special ability of "Drawing the Sword", but Wu Jie felt that it was a bit silly to let the backcourt commander show off the sword to others, so he directly sold this special talent, and then added money to exchange it for a three-star [
A hundred steps can penetrate a Yang], which is obviously a special ability that increases long-range shooting.
His positioning for Chen Haonan is basically clear, top backcourt scheduling + metronome, top defense, and first-class breakthrough and long-range shooting capabilities.
At the end of April, Wu Jie helped Bayern defeat Hamburg in the league and finally returned to second place in the league, only 1 point away from Hamburg at the top.
His personal number of goals has also increased to 26 goals, 3 goals ahead of second-placed Hrubesch.
But Hamburg is very cunning and only sent half of its main lineup to deal with Bayern in this game.
Because three days later, the two teams will meet again in the German Cup semi-finals.
This season, Hamburg was sent home early in the European competition, but precisely because they do not need to be distracted by the European competition, they can focus on the league and the German Cup, which makes their record in the league very stable.
Wu Jie also feels that it is very difficult now. Although they have been trying to catch up, they lost too much at the beginning of the season and have only just surpassed Cologne until now.
Now there is another difficulty. After they finish playing Hamburg in the league on April 28, they will face Hamburg again in the German Cup semi-finals on May 1, and then they will go to the Champions League to play CSKA Sofia on May 4.
We will return to the league game against Stuttgart on the 6th.
This is why Hamburg dared to deliberately lose a game in the league. They were forcing Bayern to make a multiple-choice question.
In the German Cup semi-finals on May 1, if Bayern does not give up, it is likely to lose to the physically fit Hamburg.
This loss is very likely to usher in a chain reaction, because the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals will be played two days later. Bayern only got a 2:2 draw away from home, and there is no guarantee that it will not overturn at home, especially when playing against
In the case of a head-to-head fight with burgers.
Wu Jie was speechless when he looked at the schedule. This loss might be the third consecutive defeat, because two days after the Champions League, there will be another league game, and Stuttgart is not a weak team!
Even if he can use diamond-level cards to restore his physical strength, he can't buy cards of this level for the entire team. Cards below the diamond-level schedule are no longer useful.
As for using cards to assassinate your opponents, this has long been proven to be unfeasible.
Cards sold by the system cannot be used by active players and coaches, including referees during games.
The best he can do is to engage in refereeing after the game, otherwise there is no need to play the game and he can just put cards on the Hamburg players.
Bayern's coaching staff finally made the decision for him. Since Hamburg chose to play with a semi-main force in the previous game, Bayern also chose to play with a semi-main force.
Wu Jie was originally taken out of the starting lineup, but Bayern's management still made the decision to limit the "league" and "UEFA Champions League" guarantees. It is indeed too difficult for the "Triple Crown" to defend its title.
But in the end, at Wu Jie's own request, the team let him play half the game.
Wu Jie did everything he should do in the first half. He scored 1 goal to help Bayern lead 1:0 in the first half.
But in the second half, Bayern became unable to play football again after losing him.
With the final score of 2:1, Bayern still failed to hold on to the victory left by Wu Jie. Hamburg finally defeated Bayern in an event.
Wu Jie felt a little regretful that the Triple Crown was gone this season, but it couldn't be said to be a heavy blow.
There has never been a Triple Crown winner in European football, and this year is indeed not a good time to defend the title.
There is no World Cup or Olympic Games next year, so Wu Jie does not have to return to China to play in those small games. At that time, he can play a full season for Bayern, and then he will have the opportunity to win the Triple Crown again.
