After time travel, I can only beat up the national football team

Chapter 188 The only one with 50+ in the five major leagues!

In the UEFA Champions League semi-finals of the 04-05 season, the two groups of contests decided the winner almost at the same time.

AC Milan gained a huge advantage 3:1 in the away game in the first round, but when they returned to their home court, they were defeated by Liverpool, who are currently only fifth in the Premier League!

This is indeed beyond everyone's expectations. Liverpool's performance in the Premier League has gone from bad to worse in the past two seasons, including last season's performance in the Champions League.

So this season, everyone thinks that Liverpool is likely to go home in the group stage.

But I didn't expect that this veteran Premier League giant, which had been stumbling since the beginning of the group stage and lost the first game in every round, could actually turn defeat into victory every time on the road.

However, the suspense of the other set of focus showdowns is not that great, and the level of excitement is far less than the one that serves as a foil.

After Barcelona returned to the home court, they basically attacked Chelsea and easily pushed them to a desperate situation 1:0 in the first half.

But it is different from Liverpool, who can always fight against the odds and achieve a comeback.

Chelsea, the upstart, was obviously unable to continue, and they actually pulled away to the end in the second half.

In the end, the two sides remained in a stalemate and maintained the 1:0 score until the end.

But did Chelsea really lose by this goal?

Zhang Desheng felt that something was wrong with this game anyway, because in the second half Chelsea, who was lagging behind, was far from being able to break the boat on the offensive end. It was even more based on defense. When attacking, there were basically only three or four people who went up and rushed in, which was impossible to break. Defend.

Mourinho's face was always ugly. In the end, he chose "If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth"!

In this game, what matters to him is not winning or losing, but staying on the main stage is the most important thing.

To be honest, Chelsea's hardware configuration this season is still far behind. They do not have the innate elements to win the championship!

Without Mourinho's extremely utilitarian tactical system, this group has either not yet grown up, or its reputation is greater than its strength, or its defense is greater than its offense. It would be considered good if a different head coach could advance to the knockout round.

He really needs to continue to strengthen the lineup in the summer and also have another season to break in.

But even if he is given an extra 100 million to buy people in the summer, and another season is given to him to adjust, Mourinho is not absolutely sure that he can reach the end of the Champions League.

European football has now entered a new version. To put it bluntly, Porto last season was in the iteration period between the old version and the new version.

But starting from this season, the new version has become stable, and in the new version, teams that do not have enough strength will find it much more difficult to win the Champions League than in the previous two years.

He also knows very well that under the current circumstances, as long as Chelsea dares to attack in the second half, the final score will not be less than 5:0!

If such a result is true, then his efforts in the past few years may be lost in one wave. At the very least, he will be labeled as "not suitable for top leagues/top teams", and at the same time, "the triple crown depends entirely on Zhang." This will also bring the coffin to a conclusion.

At that time, his personal prestige will be greatly reduced, even if he can stay at Chelsea for one more year with the qualifications of winning the Triple Crown.

But at that time, the team's confidence in him will be greatly reduced, and there may be a situation where "the team is difficult to lead", and it will be even more impossible to compete for the Champions League and league championships.

So for Mourinho, today is really a small loss and a win.

They lost 0:1 in the away game, which is really not an unacceptable result for Chelsea, who has a poor background. After all, they are still considered a remnant.

Then think about it again, they made it to the semi-finals of the Champions League in the first season after reorganization, and they also have a great chance of stabilizing second place in the domestic league, especially since they have not yet been eliminated from the FA Cup.

Huh? Why does it sound good?

It is true that Mourinho has not watched so many Chinese classics in vain. This is really a step back and the sky will be brighter.

Anyway, this game was just a 0:1 loss to Barcelona, ​​but everyone from the boss to the coach to the players and even the British media could help them find some reasons to save their respect.

But at this time, Barcelona, ​​as the victor, did not care about celebrating. They immediately set their sights on Liverpool.

"Liverpool has been in trouble in both the league and European competitions in recent seasons, but they have exceeded everyone's expectations and reached the Champions League final. Do you think they will beat your team in one fell swoop?"

This was the provocation of the disappointed and gratified British media at the post-match press conference, but in fact it was these British media who were least optimistic about Liverpool along the way.

"Dignity and recognition are all gained on the battlefield. We will not underestimate any opponent, but we are also confident that we can defeat any opponent!"

Mr. Zhang really attaches great importance to Liverpool, even more than Chelsea, because as a time traveler, he knows very well what miracles Liverpool have accomplished this season.

Of course, AC Milan, who was nailed to the pillar of shame, has now advanced to the semi-finals and been overturned.

But this is not a bad thing for AC Milan, because they have escaped a dark history that cannot be redeemed.

This kind of round of winning first and then losing in the knockout round has happened too many times in the history of the Champions League. AC Milan was even killed in this way last season, so this kind of failure is far from being nailed to the pillar of shame.

But if a 3-0 lead in the first half of the final was overturned, the level of shame would be completely incomparable.

Let's put it this way, AC Milan in the original dimension actually avenged their shame after only one year.

But people simply don't remember the aftermath of their revenge. Instead, as time goes by, the imprint of that humiliating reversal becomes more and more deeply rooted in people's hearts.

This is also the reason why Mourinho chose to take a step back. This kind of small defeat, even if it is not too outrageous, will be quickly forgotten. But the kind of humiliating defeat/legendary victory that impresses people will become more and more prominent as time goes by.

Therefore, Mr. Zhang in this plane must be cautious and cautious!

He doesn't want to suffer such an unwashable shame on behalf of AC Milan. It will be a huge stain on his future as the world champion. It is absolutely unacceptable!

Thinking about this, Mr. Zhang is also very nervous, especially at this time, Liverpool has no possibility of being promoted to fourth place in the league. Their Champions League qualification for next season can no longer be obtained from the league unless they can defend the title. The champion automatically qualifies for next season's Champions League.

Therefore, Liverpool, which has no retreat and can only win but not lose, does have the prerequisites for a last-ditch battle.

However, this final will not start until 21 days later, and the venue of the game is "Istanbul" that many fans are not familiar with at this time.

In the original plane, this city did not know that they would be so well-known around the world in the future, and part of the reason was this "Istanbul Night".

If Mr. Zhang kills this magical battle, then this city will become an indirect victim.

But what does that have to do with him?

Wouldn't it be a pity to miss one of these classic battles in European football?

He is a Chinese and doesn't care, just like he doesn't care at all that his arrival has caused Porto to lose a UEFA Cup championship!

Barcelona soon felt fortunate that none of the players in their team needed to go back to play for the national team, because both Brazil and Spain had advanced to the third stage of World Cup qualifying.

The same is true for Zhang Gongzi's Macau team. This means that all Barcelona starters do not need to be distracted and everyone can concentrate on preparing for the final battle of this season.

As for the league, it's natural to play casually. The first task is to help Mr. Zhang brush up his statistics.

On May 5, Barcelona returned to the league to face Valencia.

Zhang Desheng only played in the second half of this game. In order to save energy for the main force, Rijkaard had already begun to rotate players on a large scale.

But for Mr. Zhang, one half was enough for him to create a new milestone.

In the 84th minute of the second half, just when the physical fitness of Valencia's players began to decline, their first priority of "preventing Mr. Zhang from scoring" finally relaxed a little.

Mr. Zhang caught Ayala and Fabio's lack of tacit understanding of each other's defense, and used his agility and acceleration of 92 to forcefully complete a series of feints between the two, and even knocked them down one after another. Then he dribbled the ball into the penalty area seemingly stumblingly, and directly shot a volley from the outside of the instep at a tricky angle through the gate guarded by Palop.

Goal 50!

Zhang Desheng used a minor scene to create an unprecedented legendary record in the five major leagues!

The 100,000 fans who poured into the Camp Nou today witnessed a new history at the scene. At this time, even the jerseys they wore were official commemorative jerseys specially customized for this unprecedented record.

And the scene itself of these 50 Barcelona fans wearing "No. jersey" shouting this number is actually a famous scene worth remembering.

Barcelona's management is even planning to retire the number immediately after Zhang Desheng officially sets this magical record, and put the "No. 50 jersey" into the team's museum.

This specification seems too high, but considering the rarity and historical significance of this record, as well as Zhang Gongzi's high status in football in the future, this incident can also greatly enhance the team's heritage and commercial value. The method is not too exaggerated.

Mr. Zhang himself was very excited at this moment, but his next celebration was even more exciting. He first quickly took off his No. 9 jersey...

At this time, the referee smiled and took out a yellow card not far away, preparing to wait for him to finish celebrating before going up to congratulate him.

But the next second, the whistle he was holding on his lips almost fell off.

Because, after Zhang Desheng took off one jersey, he was still wearing one?

The most outrageous thing is that it is a "No. 150" jersey worth 50 euros! ?

He knew so well because he secretly went to the store to buy one before the game, and complained to the fans about Barcelona's price tag.

"Matryoshka doll? Do you need to play a card? Or do you need to directly play a red card?"

The referee was dumbfounded. If Zhang Desheng only used his first jersey to celebrate, then he would really have a bug!

But fortunately, Mr. Zhang took off the second piece immediately after taking off one piece.

Then, he raised the "No. 50" jersey with both hands high, stood in the center circle and made the classic move of exposing the jersey to the surroundings one by one!

The atmosphere at Camp Nou also reached a climax during this process. It is estimated that there have not been many times since the stadium was built that there has been such a roaring and tsunami-like momentum. The Valencia players even had the illusion that they were going to be blown away by the heat wave. !

"Mader, how can our Chinese players be supported like gods in European football and top clubs?"

"It's so awesome. This scene reminds me of the people's carnival scene when Germany and Austria merged!"

"It's too embarrassing for us! Can an athlete be supported like a king abroad?"

"The national football team goes to eat shit! Give us Zhang Desheng!"

"..."

This scene at Camp Nou was just shocking in the eyes of overseas fans, and the most emotion they felt was just admiration.

But seeing such a shocking scene in the eyes of domestic fans, it is really a surge of national self-confidence. Especially the old fans who have been injured by Chinese football for 20 years, it is difficult not to have tears in their eyes when they see this scene!

Therefore, the Macau team's national support jumped directly to 44%, and it is estimated that 91% of the support here is brought by Mr. Zhang alone.
