64. There will be no more violent birds in the Chinese Super League!
"Diego Costa's header! It went wide." When the game entered the stoppage time, no matter how calm and calm the person was, he couldn't help it anymore. Guangzhou Evergrande didn't care about the movement in the frontcourt.
Cooperating with others, he began to attack with a lot of lobs into the penalty area. Lou Yicheng also began to worry about Evergrande, "If Costa uses it like this, it will be a waste of resources."
Liu Yue also raised his own doubts: "Costa's state in this game was very average. Except for Evergrande's first goal, he sent an assist, and the number of subsequent shots was very few. Of course, Costa is indeed tired.
.Since this season, Costa has not missed a single match in the league, AFC Champions League, and FA Cup. In addition, the center position is definitely the one with the most confrontations in every game, so you can imagine his fatigue."
Although he was talking about Diego Costa, Liu Yue pointed at Guangzhou Evergrande's head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari. After all, he has been criticized for using a lineup until death and not replacing the main players without injury.
place.
At this time, Guangzhou Evergrande had used up all three substitution places. Zhang Sheng was a thief and held a substitution place in his hand. As soon as Costa headed the ball wide, taking advantage of the dead ball, the Longteng team
The third substitution was used to kill time - Chavez was replaced by Tang Jin.
"Four minutes of stoppage time, now three minutes have passed. If Evergrande wants to attack, it can only use high balls." Lou Yicheng shook his head a little regretfully for Evergrande, "Huang Bowen made a long pass to Costa, and Qi
Ming pushed the ball out of the sideline. Evergrande's frontcourt throw-in, let's see how they handle it."
As he spoke, Shu Jun stood on the sidelines without hesitation, holding the ball with both hands high, ready to release the ball quickly, but he was stopped by Scolari on the sidelines.
"Huh? Is Li Xuepeng going to take a penalty kick? Then he should be preparing to throw the ball with a powerful hand." Lou Yicheng introduced Li Xuepeng's characteristics, "His grenade-style powerful throw-in ball is still very distinctive. Evergrande's
I want to win this last bit."
"Players from both sides have entered the penalty area. There are too many people, it's chaos." Liu Yue saw a dozen people huddled together in the Longteng team's penalty area and laughed.
In order to throw the ball farther, Li Xuepeng extended a long approach distance. At the same time, the ball boy at Tianhe Stadium gave him a towel to wipe the slippery football clean.
"Li Xuepeng threw the ball out, and Evergrande grabbed the first point, Goulart's shot. Oops, the goal post, the back shot! The ball went in, it was Paulinho, it was Paulinho." Lou Yicheng
He yelled crazily, "This is a perfect tie. Paulinho completed a hat trick in this game. He is the definition of a defensive midfielder. It's terrible."
"The whole Tianhe Stadium is boiling." Liu Yue had to raise his voice, "I have to yell when I commentate now."
"Me too." Lou Yicheng took over the topic.
On the field at this time, Paulinho did not celebrate wantonly for completing the hat trick. After scoring the goal, he rushed into the Longteng team's net, then picked up the ball and held it in his hands, while quickly
He ran to the club, kissed the team logo on his chest, and called on his Evergrande teammates to hurry up and kick off again.
"I can only say that Paulinho's professional attitude is one of the best I have ever seen among foreign players who come to play in China." Seeing Paulinho's actions on the field, Lou Yicheng sighed, "My farewell game,
He scored three goals, which is a perfect answer, but he is not satisfied. Maybe he is still thinking about scoring the fourth goal to win the team."
"This goal can be said to be a reward for Paulinho's tireless running throughout the game. At the same time, the Longteng team's defense also had problems." Liu Yue quickly analyzed the replay footage just now, "I watched Evergrande.
It was Lin Feng who grabbed the first point. He rarely appeared here, and no one was watching him. Then the second point was Goulart's shot. The Longteng team's block was not timely, especially Pauli's.
Here at Neo, Goulart's shot attracted everyone's attention. Liming performed well throughout the game, but this time he missed Paulinho. The latter scored. It can only be said that Barcelona can
It’s not without reason that you fall in love with him.”
"One more thing. Why was it Tang Jin who came to guard Goulart's shot? This is rather strange. It seems that Huang Dawei is not in the goalkeeper position. The Longteng team's defense really lacks someone to direct it." He has been paying attention to the court.
Lou Yicheng of the internal and external situation added, "Coach Zhang Sheng on the sidelines seems to be very dissatisfied with the defense this time."
Although Paulinho still wanted to overtake the score, the game time no longer allowed it. After another long ball from Guangzhou Evergrande was too powerful and flew out of the baseline, Jiang Mingzhi waited for a long time before kicking off.
Got a yellow card.
After Jiang Mingzhi kicked the ball out with a big kick, Shapron blew the whistle to end the game.
"An absolutely wonderful game, a dialogue between two top teams in the Chinese Super League, ended in a 3:3 draw. They contributed six goals to us, all of which were wonderful." Lou Yicheng concluded, "At the same time,
This should also be Paulinho's swan song in the Chinese Super League. His hat-trick performance in this game was perfect. Perhaps not helping Guangzhou Evergrande win the Dragons at home is his biggest regret. Finally, let us wish him well in Barcelona
Smooth sailing.”
"This blessing is definitely not a cliche." Liu Yue added, "As a signature player from the Chinese Super League, the better his performance, the more he can vindicate the name of the Chinese Super League. Let us bless him."
In the post-match interview, Paulinho said with emotional red eyes: "I am very sorry that I could not help the team win. At the same time, I am very grateful for the two and a half years at Evergrande. I am really, really happy here.
, I would like to thank my fans, teammates and club staff. I hope to return to Guangzhou one day. Thank you to everyone."
Sure enough, Paulinho did not sign up for the mid-week league match of the following week's double match, nor did he participate in the pre-game preparation training.
On August 12, as the Chinese Super League was in full swing over the weekend, many media began to report that Barcelona had decided to introduce Paulinho, and the price offered was the 40 million euros liquidated damages in Paulinho's contract.
At this time, Barcelona, one of the team's top players, Neymar, has been transferred to Paris Saint-Germain, and the other party paid a liquidated damages of 222 million euros. This is also the highest transfer fee in football history. Previously, the highest transfer fee was
The amount was during the European summer transfer window last year, when Manchester United acquired Paul Pogba from Juventus for a transfer fee of 104 million euros.
It can be said that Neymar's transfer shocked the whole of Europe. The premium was so large that it was suspected of breaking the rules of the market. If Ronin were here, he would definitely say: "This does not comply with the rules of the market."
Everyone is envious of Barcelona for getting a lot of money, but Barcelona is extremely embarrassed because it is a bit late to find good players in the market now. Most of the good players who have transfer intentions have already been negotiated and they can pursue them on their own.
Players that other clubs don’t want to let go of, and no one wants their core players to leave without preparation.
After Neymar left, Barcelona had 220 million in cash but could not buy anyone. Dembele, who wanted to buy Dortmund but did not want to spend more, encouraged Dembele to threaten Dortmund and even go on strike. The final result was obvious.
Dortmund strongly demanded that Dembele publicly apologize to the team.
The same goes for Liverpool's Coutinho. The Red Army has repeatedly emphasized not to sell Coutinho, but Barcelona used the same trick. Coutinho submitted a transfer against the team's wishes, which made it impossible for Liverpool officials to step down.
Tinho was also relegated to the sidelines and was not included in Liverpool's Champions League play-off squad.
The magic of love goes round and round, Barcelona went around and around in the transfer market, and looking back, they found that it was only possible to buy Paulinho, so it was not surprising that they raised the previous offer to 40 million euros.
Barcelona doesn't care about anything, and first buys a spare rotation player and puts them away. Guangzhou Evergrande is really in trouble.
Because not only when the Chinese Super League transfer window is closed, Evergrande can no longer introduce foreign players and can only use the existing lineup to achieve the previously proposed "four crowns" goal, but also with the mid-week league game against Jianye
Another midfielder, Huang Bowen, was confirmed to be out for the season after suffering a serious injury, which made Scolari's formation even more stretched.
What's even more serious than these is that registration for foreign players in the AFC Champions League has ended.
If in the league, the rule of the Chinese Super League in the 2017 season is that a maximum of five foreign players can be registered, then in addition to Paulinho, there are also Diego Costa, Gorat and Alan in the team, plus an Asian foreign player Jin Yingquan, which can satisfy the requirement.
The requirement for foreign players to play a maximum of three games in the league, and the AFC Champions League registration policy of 31: three African and Asian plus one Asian and foreign, greatly reduced Evergrande’s competitiveness in the AFC Champions League.
During the AFC Champions League registration in the middle of the league, according to the request of the club owner - Boss Xu believed that Paulinho could be persuaded not to transfer to Barcelona through salary increases and other means - Paulinho signed up, and the other two non-Asian and foreign players
It’s Diego Costa and Goulart, and it’s Kim Young-kwon in Asia.
Now that Paulinho has left, Guangzhou Evergrande will have to rely on these three foreign players in the AFC Champions League. It is foreseeable that the team's midfield control will decline, and the offensive speed and explosive power will disappear.
Therefore, both the outside media and Evergrande fans have unanimously called for: "The club must make every effort to keep Paulinho!"
"Otherwise, in the game against the Dragons, without Paulinho, the score would be 0:3. With Paulinho gone, Evergrande would be hopeless." Some radical fans even raised Paulinho's rating to equal that of the entire team.
The height of the team.
Some fans who still hold out hope believe that Neymar, Paulinho's fellow Brazilian national team member and the legendary bridgeman who recommended him to move to Barcelona, has left the team, and both Paulinho and Barcelona will terminate the transfer.
What they didn't know was that the real introducer of Paulinho's transfer to Barcelona was not Neymar, but Barcelona's king, Messi.
According to Paulinho's later interview, he made it very clear that before Barcelona formally contacted him, there had been some informal contacts, and the contact person was Messi: "When we played a friendly match with Argentina in June, I was
and Willian taking a free kick. Suddenly, I saw Messi behind me, and he slowly approached me and said to me: 'Are you going to Barcelona?'. I answered him: 'If you want to take me, then take me.
I'll go, I'll go.' After the game, Messi and I exchanged jerseys. Then Barcelona called me."
Then Paulinho found Scolari and told him: "If it weren't for Barcelona, I would not leave China. Either I leave now, or I will never leave."
Judging from Messi's subsequent performance, Paulinho did not lie.
When Paulinho came to Barcelona and successfully broke the doubts of Barcelona fans, Messi responded to Paulinho's success like this: "When he first came to Barcelona and was questioned by the fans, I saw that Barcelona fans were skeptical about Paulini.
I feel very sorry for Paulinho's attitude, because it was me who suggested that Barcelona invite Paulinho to the team. I didn't expect Barcelona fans to treat him like this. Now it's better. He has successfully proved his strength here. I
I can finally feel at ease.”
Of course, people who don’t know that Paulinho will get a stable chance to play in Barcelona don’t think so. They swear that if Paulinho transfers, it will be a triple loss:
For Evergrande, it can be said to be a blow to the bottom of the pot.
For Barcelona, the 29-year-old midfielder has insufficient foot skills. It is unrealistic to replace the retired Xavi and the aging Iniesta. It is very likely that the 40 million is just to buy some comfort.
For Paulinho, once he is unable to play in Barcelona for a long time, it is very likely that he will fail in next year's World Cup in Russia. In Barcelona, he neither has the absolute strength of the main force nor the unlimited trust of Scolari.
Fans of other teams are just crazy.
“The Chinese Super League can also export players!”
"Who said that big-name foreign players will degenerate when they come to the Chinese Super League?"
"As strong as Barcelona, don't you have to pay all the liquidated damages? [Erha][Erha][Erha]"
On August 13, Paulinho said goodbye to his Evergrande teammates and flew to Spain for a physical examination. If there are no accidents in the physical examination, Paulinho will officially join Barcelona.
At this time, the details of his contract were also exposed: In order to successfully join Barcelona, Paulinho also accepted a certain salary cut. His annual salary in Barcelona was 5 million euros (approximately 39 million yuan) after tax.
This is nearly 2 million euros lower than his annual salary in Guangzhou.
The next night, Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao Football Club officially announced: Current Brazilian international Paulinho has officially transferred from Guangzhou Evergrande to La Liga giants Barcelona. Paulinho has signed a contract with Barcelona and officially landed in La Liga from the Chinese Super League! This means
As a result, the transfer turmoil that caused a lot of excitement has settled.
From a competitive perspective, Paulinho, who transferred from Tottenham to Guangzhou Evergrande midway through the 2015 season, played 63 times for Evergrande and scored 17 goals. In the 2016 season, he helped Evergrande win the AFC Champions League.
In terms of income, it only cost 14 million euros to introduce him, and this transaction also made Evergrande a huge profit.
No matter what, there are no more violent birds in the Chinese Super League!
