767 Re-sign the superstar
On the night when the Chinese team reversed the United States three-to-two, the Federation Cup final also decided the champion.
With Fabiano's double score, Brazil defeated Spain 2-0 in the final and successfully won the Confederation Cup championship. Spain won the runner-up, and China defeated the United States and won the third place.
This is the first time that China has won the top three rankings in the international competition of the adult national team, creating the best results in the history of the Chinese adult national team, and also greatly encouraged domestic fans and the whole country was jubilant.
Brazilian superstar Kaka, who just officially announced that he would join Real Madrid, won the best player of this Federation Cup. He performed very well along the way, and he deserved the Golden Globe Award.
The Silver Ball Award was given to Brazil's Fabiano, who scored five goals in this Federation Cup, ranking second in the scorer list, and he also won the Silver Boot Award for this event.
However, the Bronze Boot Award was not awarded to the runner-up Spanish player as usual, but directly gave it to the third third-place Chinese superstar Yang Yang. Yang Yang also won the Golden Boot Award for the event with six goals in this Federation Cup.
Public opinion has basically recognized the official selection, especially in the third and fourth place finals, Yang Yang led the Chinese team to a big reversal in the second half, defeating the United States by four to two. Yang Yang scored a hat trick and gave an assist alone, and his performance was amazing. He was definitely the best player in this Federation Cup.
According to the statement summarized by the legend Beckenbauer in the column, if the Chinese team excludes Yang Yang, their overall strength will probably rank low among the eight teams in the Federation Cup. However, with Yang Yang, the overall strength of this team has been greatly improved and miraculously rushed to the third place.
Beckenbauer regretted that he believed that if Yang Yang was not born in China, but was placed in any football powerhouse, he would be the legendary star with the most hope of hitting the position of the King of Football.
On the day after the game, when the Chinese team was preparing to return home, when a German media conveyed Beckenbauer's regret to Yang Yang, Yang Yang expressed his gratitude to the senior for his affirmation, but at the same time he firmly stated that he was proud of being a Chinese.
"We Chinese have a saying that children do not dislike their mothers as ugly, and mothers do not dislike their sons as poor. This means that I will not regret being born as a Chinese because of poor Chinese football. On the contrary, I will work harder because I was born in China where football is behind."
Yang Yang's words were passed back to China, which once again aroused the praise of domestic fans.
...
When the Chinese team traveled a long distance and returned to Beijing from Johannesburg, nearly a thousand fans who picked up the plane gathered at Capital International Airport.
They were all satisfied with the performance of the Chinese team in the Federation Cup, especially the number one star Yang Yang, who gave high praise and praise. Many fans shouted slogans to welcome Yang Yang on the spot.
The pick-up site was even a little chaotic for a while. The fans at the scene were so fanatic, especially those who were pursuing Yang Yang.
In the end, the airport security could only urge Yang Yang and the national team to leave the scene quickly.
However, the scene of fanatical pursuit by fans at the scene still made domestic public opinion boil.
The third place in the world is just a Federation Cup, but it is still a world event. Being able to win such an honor is enough to make the country proud and proud.
You know, although this is not the best result of Asian teams in the Federation Cup, whether it is the fourth place that Saudi Arabia won or the runner-up that year, it is held on their local area.
That time, Japan won the runner-up in the 2001 Local Federation Cup, and it didn't have much value.
But this time, the Chinese team is in Africa, thousands of miles away, and won the third place in the Federation Cup in South Africa. Whether it is a zero-to-one loss to Spain or a zero-to-one loss to Brazil, the Chinese team is indeed losing in strength, but they have not lost their spirits. At the same time, they have shown good levels, which can be regarded as a glory even if they lose.
What is most amazing is the third and fourth finals of the US team that reversed the second major, which can be said to be one of the classic major reversals in the history of the Federation Cup. Even FIFA gave a very high evaluation and awarded the fair competition award to the Chinese national team after the game, which shows the value of this game.
It can be said that the Chinese team won the third place in the Federation Cup this time, which accounted for a little bit of the luck of the group stage draw, but their own strength should not be underestimated, and the performance of the international players left a deep impression on people.
Many teams from the four major leagues have begun to pay attention to Chinese players, especially Gao Lin, Feng Xiaoting, Chen Tao and Zhang Linpeng who performed well, and the prospects are very exciting.
This is also the reason why domestic fans are so popular.

While Yang Yang was fighting in the South African Federation Cup, the summer transfer market in Europe is also in full swing.
Regarding whether he will leave Liverpool, the media will come out to hype every two or three days, but all parties remain silent. Only a few scandals are rumored from time to time in the transfer market, or senior executives of Real Madrid and Barcelona take turns to say a few words, but the specific transfer progress seems to have stopped.
On the contrary, another transfer is advancing at an unexpected speed.
That is Inter Milan's number one center Ibrahimovic.
The Swedish center is also the darling of this summer's transfer market. First after the Champions League final, Catalan media revealed that Guardiola was full of interest in Ibrahimovic and hoped to get this world's top center.
But after Florentino came to power, the new helmsman of the Galaxy Battleship quickly included Ibrahimovic on his list of superstar recruitment, especially after the official announcement of the introduction of Kaka, he made it clear that he would strive to win Ibrahimovic to join the Bernabeu.
Inter Milan and Real Madrid have always had a very good relationship, and Morati and Florentino are also in close relationship. This time, facing Real Madrid's poaching, Morati's first reaction was to refuse, and repeatedly said that Ibrahimovic was not a seller and it was impossible to sell the Swedish center to Real Madrid.
But on the other hand, Italian media revealed that Morati can no longer invest more money in Inter Milan. Ibrahimovic has a very high salary and is also the most valuable star in the team. Inter Milan does not rule out selling Ibrahimovic in exchange for a considerable transfer income and investing in the summer transfer market.
At the same time, Ibrahimovic said in an interview with the media that if he can join a team like Real Madrid, it would be an undeniable temptation for him, and he was eager to fight side by side with his old friends here.
The Swedish center's statement was once understood by the media as showing kindness to Real Madrid, and at the same time hinting that his best friend Yang Yang is likely to transfer to Real Madrid, but soon the media revealed that the old friend Ibrahimovic mentioned was not Yang Yang, but his former friend when he was in Ajax, Belgian central defender Thomas Fermuren.
After Real Madrid finalized Kaka in early June, they continued to introduce Fermuren from Ajax.
However, Ibrahimovic's agent Raiola also said in an interview with the media that his players will not swear to be loyal to Inter Milan forever. At the same time, media reports that Raiola has personally expressed his intention to leave to the senior management of Inter Milan.
For more than half a month, the transfer situation has been twists and turns. By the end of June, Morati had publicly stated in an interview with the media, "Of course I am willing to stay Ibrahimovic, but as the club chairman, I also have to consider economic factors."
This was understood by the media as an hinting that it would open a channel for Ibrahimovic's transfer.
Subsequently, Spanish media revealed that Inter Milan's general manager Blanca went to Madrid to negotiate, and the content was about Ibrahimovic's transfer, and revealed that Inter Milan's asking price reached 68 million euros, surpassing Kaka.
But soon, Inter Milan and Real Madrid teams denied the rumors one after another.
However, Milan Sports Daily analyzed that it is a very cost-effective transaction for Inter Milan to sell Ibrahimovic at this time. It can not only recover large amounts of funds, but also get rid of the heavy economic burden. Otherwise, Ibrahimovic's annual salary alone will be a heavy burden.
"Morati has made up her mind!" said Milan Sports News confidently.
As expected, less than two days after the Federation Cup final, Real Madrid and Inter Milan officially announced that Swedish center Ibrahimovic successfully transferred to Real Madrid at a sky-high price of 70 million euros.
Ass also made the news as soon as possible, and Real Madrid defeated Barcelona to win the title of the world's chief center, celebrating Ibrahimovic's joining Real Madrid.
On the second day after the official announcement of the introduction of Ibrahimovic, Real Madrid held a huge fan meeting at the Bernabeu Stadium. Kaka, who had just won the best player of the Federation Cup in South Africa, made his debut at the Bernabeu Stadium with 50,000 Real Madrid fans cheering on the scene.
Spanish TV and media around the world have reported on this momentum and paid great attention. Everyone is excited about Kaka's joining, and Kaka also expressed on the spot that he is proud of being able to join Real Madrid.
Florentino also promised on the spot that signing Kaka and Ibrahimovic was just the beginning. The team will do its best to try to introduce more superstars in the future, hoping to create a brand new and combat-filled Real Madrid in the new season, which will wash away the decline of the past few years.
In addition to Kaka, Ibrahimovic and Fermall, Real Madrid also finalized several other deals in June.
This includes buying back local youth training midfielder Granero from Getafe, buying back local youth training defender Aveloa from Liverpool, and introducing midfielder Xavi Alonso from Liverpool.
These three transactions also cost Real Madrid a total of 43 million euros transfer fees. Coupled with the sky-high transfers between Kaka and Ibrahimovic, Real Madrid can be said to be burning money this summer.
