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

Chapter 217 World Cup Grouping!
In April, Barcelona's first game was at home waiting for the disintegrating Real Madrid to come to the door.

At this time, Real Madrid was at the end of its rope. They failed in the Champions League early and were kicked out 6:1 by Zaragoza in the Copa del Rey. Although they returned to the Bernabeu in the second game and returned a 4:1, But what people remember is only the massacre that caused the Galaxy Battleship to completely crash!

Real Madrid itself has also been greatly affected. At this time, the minds of these stars are really not on the club, at least don't expect them to work hard for Real Madrid.

But at the end of the league, many teams are desperately striving for points for their own goals. At this time, if you are not as determined as others at the critical moment, then you may be overthrown if you are stronger.

Real Madrid has suffered more draws in the league during this period and has dropped to third place in the league.

Now the good news is that they are only 1 point behind second-placed Valencia; but the bad news is that they are only 1 point ahead of fourth-placed Sevilla and 3 points ahead of fifth-placed Osasuna.

This is the situation in the La Liga standings this season. Barcelona is currently far ahead with 75 points, without even a close threat, and has basically locked in the championship in advance; the second tier is the teams from second to fifth place. Their highest score is 63 points, and their lowest score is 58 points; the third group is from sixth to tenth, and the points of these five teams are also very close.

At this time, Real Madrid obviously encountered the embarrassment of Barcelona two years ago. If they did not do well, they might lose their qualification for the Champions League next season. However, Zaragoza, who had risen to ninth place, had the opportunity to impact the final league. Cup qualification.

In this El Clasico, which had a somewhat declining ratings, Real Madrid was kicked to fourth place by Barcelona.

To be honest, Real Madrid's loss at Camp Nou was not an accident.

However, Chelsea's confidence was somewhat lacking, especially after Ronaldinho's condition began to decline in the middle of the season, which made Abdu secretly angry, and for the first time he felt that he had been cheated.

Mourinho is also unhappy. He does not use Ronaldinho now, and the team does lack some creativity on the offensive end. The Brazilian's creativity and imagination are still online.

Zhang Desheng also felt that he had entered a state that was difficult to describe. It was a state that he could feel strongly no matter what opponent he faced, even if he faced a big headwind, and he was confident that the final winner would be himself.

This is the embarrassing thing about Ronaldinho at Chelsea at this time - although he has begun to decline, his foundation is still there and he still has 89 combat power. But this combat power is not enough when facing top teams, at least it is seriously not in line with his worth.

However, Mourinho really doesn't like him.

This was too humiliating for Real Madrid. However, relying on extremely utilitarian defensive counterattack tactics, Barcelona still completed their murderous attack with 2:1 with a goal each from Zhang Desheng and Messi, and completed it again. A double play of the season!

But Barcelona was a bit heart-wrenching in this game. They only fielded a semi-main lineup in the game, on the grounds that they wanted to preserve their strength for the Champions League quarter-finals three days later.

At this time, they met their archenemy Barcelona in the Champions League. This was another game that they had to grind to have a chance of winning.

But now this record of scoring goals in every game has been broken by Chelsea led by Mourinho.

Even if Zhang Desheng becomes the world champion, what does that mean?

The result of the first battle between the two sides was indeed the same. Mourinho simply put Ronaldinho on the bench, and then relied on the bus defense that had been optimized for a whole year. This time when facing Barcelona led by Zhang Desheng at home, he was really beaten. He kept a 0:0!

Therefore, Catalan fans couldn't help but recall the memories of the past two years - before Mr. Zhang came, they were once reduced to the point where they were not even qualified to participate in the UEFA Cup. On the other hand, Real Madrid once again won the Champions League. They are also far ahead in the league, and their global influence is even more crushing; but when Mr. Zhang came, they not only crushed their rivals in the same city derby, but also finally won the Champions League again after 13 years. This season they even had Great chance to win an unprecedented six crowns!

This season, Chelsea and Manchester City are inextricably locked in the Premier League. The two sides have alternated the lead in the standings throughout the season, and the gap has never exceeded 3 points.

When Xiao Luo thought about it, his thoughts became clear and he no longer had any worries in his heart.

Such an open-minded attitude naturally makes Ronaldinho's smile become brighter day by day, and nothing can even bother him anymore.

But he couldn't accept the fact that he had bought a high-priced piece of trash that lacked the will to fight and was ruined every day!
Therefore, he will not blame Mourinho for putting Ronaldinho on the bench at all, because he wants to kick this waste away more than Mourinho does!

This means that if Real Madrid makes any mistakes in the last seven rounds, they will really fall out of the top four and lose their qualification for the Champions League next season.

This naturally made Barcelona and Mr. Zhang very uncomfortable. Ronaldinho, who had not been able to get a chance to play in the entire game, had the embarrassment written all over his face.

Therefore, in the hearts of Catalan fans, Mr. Zhang is not just a king, he is simply a god!

In the end, he may not be as happy as himself, and he may not be as cool as himself.

This really made Zhang Desheng feel uncomfortable. Mourinho didn't even know that he had inadvertently accomplished an achievement: This was the first time Barcelona failed to score a goal this season.

This extremely difficult draw not only helped Barcelona advance 4:3 in two rounds, but also helped the team maintain its unbeaten season in the league and cup.

The contrast between before and after was so strong that even some anti-Rabbit Catalan fans had to admit at this time: the difference between hell and heaven is the difference between before Mr. Zhang came and after he came.

So even if they met Chelsea, the tough opponent in the last final, in the semi-finals, Barcelona was still confident from top to bottom.

Therefore, no one thinks that this kind of praise is too much, because Mr. Zhang has been in Barcelona for the past two years, whether it is personal achievements or team performance, there is no fault at all, and people can only worship him.

But Ronaldinho in this state is really a bit tasteless and a pity to abandon for Chelsea who are desperate for life.

This is mainly because Abramovich's love leads to hatred. This oligarch can allow a person who was bought at a sky-high price to be seriously injured after not playing a game for a day.

What did Ronaldinho say at this time... He seemed to have looked away and felt relieved... His whole state changed from when he first arrived at Chelsea, where he only wanted Zhang Desheng to look good, and was eager to prove himself... slowly he became more bearish. After all this, I no longer focus too much on the desire to win and lose that makes me uncomfortable, but instead find ways to keep myself happy and cheerful every day.

This was the headline that the Catalan media published for him four days later!
Because, in the second game of the Champions League quarter-finals that started yesterday, Zhang Desheng once again used a pass and a shot to help Barcelona draw with the desperate AC Milan 2:2 at home.

This is what Abu is thinking in his heart now. He even wanted to say this in front of the media several times, but luckily he held it back!

But once Ronaldinho is used, especially when facing teams such as Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool, the team will have loopholes on the defensive end. In addition, Ronaldinho's offensive ability has also declined significantly this season compared to last season. His breakthrough is really not as sharp as Deco's.

Although he doesn't care about competing with Zhang Desheng, it doesn't mean that he can accept being left on the bench in such an important game. How will he meet people in the future?

When Zhang Desheng was replaced in the second half, the Catalan fans at the scene even collectively shouted the title "King"!

The reason why they are so excited is naturally that Barcelona has kept a clean sheet against Real Madrid 4:0 in the last two seasons of El Clasico!
What makes them most proud is that this victory directly dropped Real Madrid to fourth place and had exactly the same points as Osasuna.

But you are a professional player!
Chelsea spent so much money to buy you, not to make you optimistic and cheerful every day, but to make you face that monster one day and help Chelsea reach the top of Europe!

So what about the five-time and six-time champions? They are still just insignificant pages of history that have been turned over page by page. It doesn’t take a hundred years, even twenty or thirty years later, who will remember everything in this contest?
Human beings themselves are just a speck of dust in the universe, so what can football mean in all aspects of human beings.

That's right, Barcelona this season has not lost yet, and it maintains a record of scoring in every game.

"Top2? Without Zhang, you can't even get into the Top20!"

Good thing you have an epiphany!
However, Ronaldinho's realization made his competitive state increasingly unable to keep up with the pace of the competition. His own combat effectiveness also accelerated in the second half of the season, and he was even at a disadvantage against Deco.

This is actually the common state of dynasty teams. At this time, in Barcelona, ​​as long as the big guys see Mr. Zhang standing on the court and leading the team, it doesn't matter who the opponent is. Their thinking is extremely clear throughout the game, and they are in extremely hot and confident form. My heart is always online...

This...if you are a Buddhist, then this kind of mentality is not bad.

Barcelona was very depressed in London, and then... Li Xiaobo and Sporting Gijon were in bad luck!

This is indeed a bit of an unreasonable disaster, but who made Barcelona and Sporting Gijon meet in the Copa del Rey final three days later.

Barcelona naturally vented all its anger on Sporting Gijon.

So Li Xiaobo followed the team and was beaten by Barcelona. In the end, a 5:1 massacre made Sporting Gijon regret coming here.

Barcelona also relied on this big victory to wipe away the depression of the previous game being broken in London.

This is because they, who won the King's Cup, had already booked the five-time champion.

Although they are still short of the most important Champions League championship, these five championships are worthy of a grand celebration banquet.

Mr. Zhang’s Victory Square, especially the statue in the square that is about to be completed, now does not have to worry about insufficient specifications for the ribbon-cutting.

After this, Barcelona had a rest period of more than ten days, because La Liga and the Champions League began to make concessions for the summer World Cup starting on April 4. During this period, there were no games in La Liga or the Champions League. All players in the Barcelona team who could play in the World Cup were recalled by their respective national teams during this period.

Whether they take advantage of this period to rest or go back to play friendly matches, European football is beginning to gather strength for the final sprint in May.

The Macau team has indeed called back all the players in Europe except the Premier League. During this period, only the Premier League team has to play games in a miserable way.

But a closer look shows that all of their players who played for Manchester City have been loaned to other leagues.

Therefore, the Macau team's European players, except for a few who were unlucky enough to be injured, all returned to Asia during this period.

Then, they will seize the time to play two friendly matches with the Russian national team and the Algerian national team that were contacted a month ago.

The Macau Football Association spent a lot of money to select these two opponents for training last month. This is naturally because the World Cup groupings were released last month.

Although the Macau team is the first team in Asia to qualify, it was even the 04 Asian Cup champion.

But in the World Cup, they are naturally still in the fourth tier, which is consistent with their latest international ranking of 88th.

At this time, the other 31 participating teams still felt a little indescribable pain when they saw the international ranking of the Macau team - hell, I have never seen a World Cup main competition team with such a low ranking!
The Macau team should have set a historical record for the lowest ranking in the World Cup. There is indeed no team with such a low ranking in the entire history of the World Cup.

But the most painful thing is the team that is in the same group as the Macau team. The three unlucky ones in Group H are: Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine.

In fact, the response from Spanish fans was pretty good, after all, they are the strongest team in this group.

But Tunisia and Ukraine are a bit depressed. Who puts Mr. Zhang's name there? Unless they are a first-level team, they are absolutely sure that they will not overturn. They are really not sure that they can beat the Macau team.

This is naturally a good draw for the Macau team.

Although Spain is a first-tier team, their competition results in the past two years can be regarded as one or two of the worst among teams in this tier. They even almost failed in the qualifiers not long ago.

Tunisia, a second-tier team, is currently the number one team in Africa. Their performance in recent years has been very dazzling. They have reached the main draw of three consecutive World Cups and won the runner-up in three consecutive African Cups. , runner-up, champion.

Looking at it this way, it is indeed very popular, and it can even compete with Spain, which has a relatively poor recent record in the first tier.

But others don't know it, but Mr. Zhang knows that the peak period of Tunisian football has passed.

It should be said that Tunisian football officially ended their 10 years of glory starting from this year's World Cup, and then entered a decade-long trough.

The reason is that Tunisia's golden generation is already old, but the new generation is not relevant.

Many of Tunisia's golden generation in 04 and 05 were veterans around 30 years old, and they were the last craziness at the end of their careers.

By 06, the performance of their outstanding players in the European League had declined significantly.

Those who have actually studied a lot of information about spinach should be able to see something fishy.

Tunisia is destined to encounter Waterloo in this World Cup, and it will take ten years for Tunisia to stand up after this slippage.

Therefore, the team that Mr. Zhang has the best chance of defeating is actually Tunisia, which looks very strong to the outside world and has been assigned to the second-tier team.

As for the third-tier Ukraine, Zhang Gongzi feels that it is much more difficult to play than Tunisia, because the foundation of Ukrainian football is not comparable to that of Tunisia, which has a population of less than 10 million.

Ukraine is one of the largest countries in the world in terms of territory and population. They may not be better than Tunisia in terms of quantity and quality of star players.

However, there are definitely many more players in Ukraine capable of playing in the five major leagues than in Tunisia, which means that they have fewer shortcomings and a higher lower limit.

The Macau team is now afraid of European and South American teams that may not have many top stars, but the team's overall strength is balanced and has no shortcomings.

The two friendly match opponents they found were naturally to adapt to the football styles of Africa and Eastern Europe first.

The Macau team has not played high-quality games in Asia for several years, and it has not seen these teams outside Asia a few times.

Football in Russia and Ukraine is like breaking bones, so playing against Russia is of great significance. You can treat them as Ukraine and conduct an advance rehearsal for the group stage.

As for Algeria, they are right next to Tunisia. Although there is some gap in strength, they are very close in style. They can also be used to get a feel for Tunisia's details in advance.

The Chinese media are very cautious in their predictions for these two games. They generally think that even if they can draw, they will perform well, but they will not really win, right?

Although these two teams did not qualify for the World Cup this time, the European division was too hellish, including Algeria, which was only eliminated in the play-off stage of the African qualifiers.

Let’s put it this way, Russia’s ranking is about the same as Türkiye, and Algeria’s ranking is about the same as Costa Rica.

At this time, think about the Chinese team in the World Cup four years ago. That was...

But in the end, what shocked the Chinese media was - did the Macau team win all?

"Fuck, you took the money and still haven't done anything!"

The Macau team did win both friendly matches, but Mr. Zhang was very unhappy when he returned to Spain. One was that when the two teams collected the money, they clearly promised that the main players would come, but in the end, the European players from both countries only Halfway there.

Secondly, the two teams obviously did not work hard in the game, which even made the Macau team feel that they were not here for tourism, right?
They guessed right, they really just came here for tourism, how could they put effort into such a competition.

The most disgusting thing is that Thiago was injured by a tackle during the game. Although the -10 injury was not serious, it also made Mr. Zhang want to curse.

This is actually due to the lack of experience of the Macau team. For this kind of friendly match before the World Cup, unless you have connections and can be sure that the invited team will cooperate seriously, it is definitely better to contact teams from other groups.

For example, the Polish team and the Ghana team are in the same group as the Japanese team and will definitely be willing to play a friendly match with the Macau team.

This kind of team might be free of charge, just pay for travel and accommodation expenses, and people will come.

The Macau team knows that these two victories actually mean nothing.

But it shocked Ukraine and Tunisia who got the news!
The British media is even more aggressive in setting the pace. After all, the Macau team and Spain belong to the same group, and Zhang Desheng and Shevchenko are also group opponents. There is obviously a lot to write about here.

But what the British did not expect was that Catalan fans were not so sensitive to this, because they valued the Catalan United team that did not qualify for the World Cup, and even some extreme Catalonia teams. Asian fans believe that some Barcelona players should boycott Spanish team call-ups.

Therefore, some Spanish fans did make a fuss about Zhang Desheng's Macau team after the grouping was announced.

However, half of the Catalan fans are not very impressed, while the other half believe that the Macau team cannot pose a threat to Spain.

They even think that if Spain can qualify first in the group, then the best result will be if the Macau team can qualify second in the group.

As for Shevchenko, he has no right to speak out in this team, so naturally he will not be led out of the media.

In the end, the British media's overly naked operation, coupled with the Spanish media's overly embellished response, actually aroused greater hostility in Catalonia.

They would not have thought that the biggest desire in the hearts of fans in Catalonia at this time was that their Catalan United team could obtain independent qualifications for the World Cup like the Macau team, and then Mr. Zhang could be naturalized. Go to Catalonia United.

At that time, Catalonia United would definitely be as invincible in the World Cup as Barcelona was in the club field.

But what these people don't know is that the protagonist in their YY drama, Mr. Zhang, is already thinking about some excuse to run away...
