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

Chapter 221 World Cup, here we come!

Barcelona's unprecedented "Six Crowns" achievement, and the subsequent victory parade comparable to the founding of an independent country, including the Catalan government and fans raising funds to cut the ribbon on the "Victory Square" and "Victory Statue" built by Mr. Zhang...

If these hotspots were replaced by the previous three summers, they would definitely be the focus of global attention and popularity.

But at this time, apart from the carnival and celebration in Catalonia, the eyes of the outside world were greatly affected. Even Zhang Desheng himself seemed to be high-profile, but in fact he didn't care that much in his heart.

This is because the World Cup, held every four years, is about to kick off in Germany.

Although Zhang Desheng attended the ribbon-cutting of his statue in a high-profile manner, he also participated in an unprecedented celebration ceremony and a city-wide parade!

But Zhang Gongzi, who had already discussed with Boss Zhao about signing the team for next season, had his mind on the World Cup.

The status of this event in his mind far exceeds that of club events, and is naturally much higher than Porto, Manchester City, Zhuhai, Luneng, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona...

If you ask him at this time: he can only choose between being a six-time champion with absolute core status and qualifying in the World Cup group stage with absolute core status.

Then there is no need to hesitate, Mr. Zhang will immediately choose to qualify for the World Cup group stage.

This achievement is unique among the top five leagues, including Ligue 1.

As soon as everyone saw Mr. Zhang arriving, they all quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked at their backbone with excited faces.

As soon as Li Xiaobo saw Zhang Desheng, he immediately stood up and shouted.

Finally, on June 6st, we officially arrived in Munich and started preparing for the group stage two weeks later.

Such a guy before the World Cup, many people secretly cursed in their hearts, it would be better to fly and fall directly from the sky.

If we were to list all the awards and honors he received in the 05-06 season, it is estimated that many fans would not be able to help but worship him (the content is in the words of the writer).

The players of the Macau team, including the coach, team manager and team staff, were dining in the restaurant of their own hotel.

If calculated separately at this time, his goals for the club and the national team in all A-level games in the entire calendar year of 2005 turned out to be an astonishing 94 goals!
This data is also so exaggerated that it can be called a miracle. It not only breaks the record of 85 goals scored in a single natural year by German superstar Gerd Muller, but also makes it impossible for future generations to surpass it. Today.

Without this backbone, they would not even have the extravagant hope of qualifying for the group stage. If they could score just one goal, they would have accomplished the task.

Generally speaking, the World Cup team must arrive at the venue of the event at least one week in advance, because it takes a week to completely reverse the jet lag and adapt to the competition venue.

Everyone originally had some self-doubt about the completion of this task.

"Boss, you are really good at picking the time, it's just in time for dinner!"

"I think the goal can be a little bigger, we have to work hard to qualify!"

Of course, most people are not as extreme as him.

"Hehe, the goal is definitely guaranteed now. I even think we have a chance to win!"

If we look at the club's performance alone, Zhang Desheng's performance this season is unprecedented and unprecedented.

This ominous task was now completely handed over to them from the hands of the first team.

Tu Guangtai also rushed up, patting the horse on the way.

This is the club record that Zhang Desheng handed over throughout the season. He scored 90 goals in a single season for the club. In fact, even if Pele's peak season in the Brazilian League is included, he is still far ahead.

Their opponent in the first group match will be the African powerhouse Tunisia (revised earlier), the second match will be against Ukraine, and the third match will be Spain, the strongest team in the group.

Before Zhang Gongzi, there had never been a "double 20+" player in the five major leagues, but he has already held this record.

The Macau team has an advantage in preparation time before the game because the first round of Group H they are in only starts on the 14th and 15th.

But when they saw their backbone and the current number one leader in Tianzi arrived.

Shen Yi usually doesn't flatter anyone, but when he saw Young Master Zhang, he felt excited for no reason!
"This biggest star is still a member of our Macau team."

"Boss, six-time champion! The first of its kind in the world!"

I won’t mention the words here. Just listing his statistics in the 05-06 season and the personal honors he won is enough to scare all football celebrities except Pele.

That's right, the Macau team's goal in participating in the World Cup this time is to "score a goal, score a point, and win a game."

During this period, although various media outlets focused their coverage on the World Cup, they naturally could not let go of Mr. Zhang’s summary of the entire season.

Zhang Desheng's plane arrived in Munich in the evening, and by then the Macau team, which had arrived a day earlier, had already begun enjoying their third meal since arriving in Germany.

"Huh, you really bring your own ingredients and cook your own food. Do you even bring your own water? And you bring the Wahaha brand that I endorse?"

But most teams will arrive a few days in advance to prevent any mistakes.

"Haha, the biggest star in this World Cup has arrived!"

In fact, even Bailey felt a little nervous in his heart, because if Zhang De Sheng continued to play in such an inhumane manner, how long could his career trajectory overlap with Zhang De Sheng's?
In the 2005-2006 season, all Zhang Desheng’s club data——

Moreover, this is the second time that he has achieved "double 20+" in a single season, which means that the number of goals and assists in a single season both exceed 20+.

"..."

However, these are not the most exaggerated. He scored 16 goals and 8 assists in the Asian qualifiers of the World Cup in Germany.

Therefore, the Macau team, which is the last to play its first game in the group stage, has two weeks to prepare before the first game.

This achievement of "six crowns" created by leading the team as an absolute core should be as important in the minds of many people as leading the team to the semi-finals in the World Cup.

European Super Cup: 2 goals and 1 assist
Spanish Super Cup: 3 goals and 0 assists
Club World Cup: 1 goal, 1 assist
La Liga: 33 games, 55 goals, 15 assists
Copa del Rey: 5 games, 7 goals and 5 assists
Champions League: 13 games, 22 goals and 7 assists
In total, he scored 46 goals and provided 90 assists in 29 games.

As for Group A, which was the first to play, the opening game started on the 10th.

He was actually showing off the dozen or so chefs accompanying him, many of whom were temporarily transferred from his family's hotel. He was trying to show off in front of Mr. Zhang.

Everyone's faces unconsciously showed smiles from the bottom of their hearts, and there were even uncontrollable emotions of pride and pride. In short, the whole person's mental outlook from the inside to the outside had a qualitative change.

"Haha, I've long heard that our logistics team is comparable to an imperial chef. Let's not talk about anything else. I'm going to taste it first. Everyone, sit down!"

Zhang Desheng felt that this was a bit exaggerated towards Boss Zhao, and of course the big bosses on both sides of the Taiwan Strait who were rushing to contribute money and effort.

Let’s put it this way, during the entire World Cup, the Macau team’s expenses, ostentation, logistics specifications, and even the simple entourage basically reached the point where they were even richer than those in the Middle East.

This can only be said that the Macau team is so impressive, especially the rich people in Hong Kong and Macao, who feel so proud.

Therefore, even if we do not count the wealthy people from the mainland, the money and efforts provided by the wealthy people in these two places are enough to reach a staggering level.

Zhao Yuting even teamed up with many wealthy people two years in advance to buy the hotel where they were currently staying. They also booked the hotel where they would stay for three days in advance for each of the other two group matches.

In fact, this gesture alone is enough to make most teams jealous, because the cost of booking an entire hotel for three days during the World Cup is definitely an exaggerated figure.

But for the wealthy people in Hong Kong and Macao, it doesn’t hurt at all to spend this money!
In addition, in order to prevent the Macau team from happening like the Brazil team in 98, all ingredients, including drinks, were purchased and transported from China during the entire World Cup.

These merchants are also absolutely cooperative. They basically provide special specifications and conduct layer-by-layer testing to prevent even the slightest problem.

For example, the milk they drink and the beef, muscle, fish, vegetarian vegetables, fruits, etc. they eat at this time have actually been specially raised and grown two or three years ago. They are absolutely of truly organic specifications. Clenbuterol There is absolutely no such thing.

Then, from drivers, security guards, translators, to chefs, physical therapists, masseurs, and even waiters and cleaning staff, we all use our own people.

For those positions where visas cannot be obtained, they try to use overseas Chinese as much as possible, and they must ensure that every aspect of the work when serving the Macau team cannot escape the scope of monitoring.

This is to fully ensure that there is no possibility of insiders being bribed and poisoned. In short, it is to minimize the possibility of any accidents.

In addition, the rewards provided by the Macau team in the World Cup are also enough to make most participating teams envious.

Zhao Yuting teamed up with a group of wealthy people in Macau, especially those who relied on the spinach industry, to order a commemorative solid gold football weighing ten kilograms for each player just after qualifying.

If the Macau team can score a goal in the World Cup, each player will be awarded one million Hong Kong dollars; if it can win a victory, each player will be awarded an additional two million Hong Kong dollars; if it can advance from the group stage, each player will be awarded an additional two million Hong Kong dollars. The additional reward will be up to HK$5 million.

After that, there was no reward for advancing to the top eight, so he probably didn't dare to hope to go that far.

But if you think about it, you know that even qualifying for the group has cost so much money.

If the Macau team really reaches the quarterfinals, then these rich people will definitely not lose money to them.

When the Chinese media reported on this award, the people in the first team were so sore that their teeth almost fell out.

But this is only a unilateral reward from Macau. Under the contact of Boss Huo, Hong Kong's rich people, although the rewards given are not as generous as those from Macau, they are not far behind.

The most outrageous thing is that many mainland wealthy people, under the liaison and leadership of Li Xiaobo and his father, the Shanxi coal boss, also offered rewards to the Macau team that were not inferior to those of Hong Kong people.

The rewards given by these three parties are superimposed. It is conservatively estimated that if they can qualify in the group, almost everyone will receive a reward of more than 1500 million Hong Kong dollars.

Currently, most teams in the Chinese Super League only have one or two players with an annual pre-tax salary of one million.

Zhuhai is the team with the highest salary in the Chinese Super League. Only three people in the team have an annual salary of more than one million. Some of the teams do not have players with an annual salary of one million at all.

So as long as they win a game, everyone can get a reward of at least HKD 5 million, and if they can qualify, they will get a reward of at least HKD 15 million.

Many national players of the first team will not make so much money in their entire careers, not counting the profits from match-fixing and gambling. Now even Mr. Zhang feels that the reward is a bit excessive. How can you make them not envious and jealous?
But the question is, even if they were given the same reward back then, would these people be able to get it?
"Brothers, they all performed well last season!"

After Zhang Desheng said hello to his teammates, he naturally sat at the old F4 table.

"Lao Tu is so lucky. He actually made it to the knockout rounds of the Champions League and started as a starter. Apart from you, I became the second Chinese player to start in the knockout rounds of the Champions League."

Li Xiaobo was very envious of Tu Guangtai. His team Sporting Gijon suffered a series of injuries in the final stage and was actually relegated in the end.

Although Tu Guangtai is only a blue-collar midfielder at Benfica and is used as a poor version of Makelele, he has indeed experienced many big scenes this season. He even started and played in all two games of the Champions League knockout round.

"Hehe, even though Lao Li's team got relegated, he might go to Madrid for a better job next season!"

Tu Guangtai actually thinks that Li Xiaobo is doing better. The Madrid media has already revealed that Torres and Liverpool have basically reached an agreement, but not many people know that Atletico Madrid has also contacted Li Xiaobo many times in advance. In fact, the two sides have similar talks.

So basically as soon as Torres left, Li Xiaobo stepped in.

Although Atletico Madrid is not the top team in La Liga, it is still a strong team that can often play in European competitions. Li Xiaobo has indeed been rising step by step in recent years.

"Well, it seems like I'm not doing well. Liu is the team's top scorer in Cannes, and I don't know if I can continue to be a regular starter next season."

Shen Yi looked at Thiago who had recovered from his injury. After all, he was indeed the worst offender.

Thiago smiled shyly when he heard this. Although he had always been with F4 in the national team, he even became a member of F4 after Mr. Zhang made his official debut.

But as a mixed-race person, he can still only play a role like Zhao Yun next to the three brothers. He is basically a listener and occasionally chimes in.

"Xiaotu, what are your plans for next season?"

Zhang Desheng said and looked at Tu Guangri next to Tu Guangtai. This kid reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League with Porto, but he was not the team's starter.

In the entire Champions League, including the group stage, he only made three substitute appearances, and played just over 3 minutes in total.

"I originally planned to apply to Manchester City and go on loan to another team next season, but Porto talked to me once before leaving. They wanted to buy half of my ownership rights. At the same time, the head coach also told me that my position next season would be I will be the starting central defender, and I will play as a defensive midfielder when Essien takes a rest.”

Tu Guangri's words made Zhang Desheng nod. It was obvious that Alves's performance as a central defender was not satisfactory, and Tu Guangri could indeed play both the midfielder and central defender positions. He and Pepe partnered The effect is definitely not bad.

"Zhu Biao, you don't have to be envious. Boss Zhao has already arranged it for you. If you go to Sevilla next season, they will also qualify for the Champions League!"

Zhang Desheng deliberately brought the best of the two newcomers to the table. Zhu Biao played 23 times in Barcelona this season, starting 11 times, and even came on as a substitute for 30 minutes in the Champions League semifinals.

This season, although he didn't play much time, he won an unprecedented six crowns in Barcelona, ​​which can indeed last a lifetime.

The main thing is that he has really seen all the big scenes together, and he has all the experience of the top wealthy families.

Therefore, if he is downgraded to a top team like Sevilla, as long as he can continue to make rapid progress, he will definitely become the team's favorite, and he will not be able to leave an absolute main position.

When Zhu Biao heard this, he naturally seized the opportunity to express his gratitude to the big boss for his support.

At this time, he is indeed much more confident than players of the same age, and even more confident than F4. This is his biggest gain in Barcelona this season.

"Don't tell me, although it is still a nutritious meal, nutrition is the priority, but after being made by the chef's skills, at least it is not unpalatable, and it is even a little delicious!"

Zhang Desheng glanced at the food in front of him at this time. The nutritious meals prepared by these top domestic chefs in accordance with the team's requirements were much more delicious than the usual ones.

# # # # # #
The next day, the Macau team spent half a day allowing domestic and foreign media with approval to go to their training site to film and interview their first adaptive training.

Naturally, Zhang Desheng and a group of boys in Europe accepted interviews from domestic and overseas media. By the way, the whole team showed up in front of the camera and pretended to be awesome!
This kind of adaptive training, to put it mildly, is actually conveying their self-confidence to the outside world, especially domestic fans, through the lens.

Liao Qimin naturally evaluated Zhang Desheng's physical condition after he joined the team, and the result was that Mr. Zhang, who had just played in the Champions League final, was not in particularly good physical condition at this time and needed to rest.

Before this, the physical assessment of most players in Europe was the same. They were even more tired than Zhang Desheng and needed more rest.

Therefore, in the first week after the Macau team arrives in Germany, the training intensity will be relatively low. At the same time, the players will be given more physical therapy and massage, and they will even receive Chinese physical therapy such as acupuncture and even treatment.

In this regard, relying on the connections of the wealthy people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places, especially the full cooperation of the top medical schools in China, it is possible to temporarily form a complete set of top Chinese medicine teams with sufficient numbers and mainly sufficient qualifications for the Macau team.

Naturally, Zhang Desheng will not hesitate to use luck to speed up recovery for everyone. Although conventional medical methods are enough, he would be an idiot if he doesn't use them if he has a problem!
So a week later, the European troops that the Macau team relied on were back to full strength, and they were all very active, as if they had been recuperating for a whole summer.

But it's different for those teams that didn't fail. There were even unexpected attrition before the game in Group H.

Harvey, who was still Mr. Zhang’s teammate in the club at this time, was actually injured three days ago, on June 6, during training.

In the end, after two days of inspection and one day of concealment, the news was still exposed somehow.

This forced the Spanish team to make an official announcement - Xavi was diagnosed with a cruciate ligament injury in his right knee and was initially diagnosed to miss the next 4 to 6 months.

Well, this is really a loss of a general without a fight. What a bad luck!
At this time, Xavi is definitely Spain's first choice for the midfield position. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the core of Spain's midfield. As a result, he went straight to the street without playing a game!
Of course, Harvey, who was originally on the team, missed this World Cup due to injury.

The chain reaction brought about by Mr. Zhang only delayed the matter, but did not completely stop it, mainly because he had no intention of stopping it.

In any case, this is definitely good news for the Macau team. This is the core midfielder of the Spanish team!

"Haha, Spain's midfield strength is greatly damaged now!"

"That's right, now we have one less difficult defensive target!"

"..."

Naturally, the Macau players gloated about their misfortune and felt that there was one less big problem when facing Spain.

But Mr. Zhang doesn't think that missing Xavi will have much impact on Spain's strength.

This may actually make Spain play better, because the person who replaces Xavi will definitely prove himself with all his strength.

As for a team with a rich background like Spain, if they randomly select a substitute, they will most likely be top-notch players from Series 8 or even the early stages of Series 9.

"He...well, I know he has a bad knee. I called him a few days ago and wanted him to try acupuncture recovery from traditional Chinese medicine...I would say, he was just too tired in Barcelona and didn't have time for physical therapy. He just needs this shot!”

As Harvey's teammate, Zhang Desheng was naturally asked about this in an interview, but I just don't know what he meant by these words?
But what is very interesting is that it seems that Xavi is not the only one who needs this shot in Spain?
Xavi's reimbursement was news that made the other three teams in Group H rejoice. Less than a day after it came out, news that made the other three teams even more happy came out from the Spanish team - Raul, the one who was The core, considered the soul of this team, was diagnosed with an aggravated knee injury and is expected to miss all group matches.

"Holy shit, what's wrong with the Spanish team? Is it cursed?"

"Key players are injured one after another. Isn't this too tragic?"

"When these two Spanish superstars are injured, we really have a chance!?"

"..."

After the players of the Macau team heard the news, they really didn't know whether they lamented their own good luck or the Spaniards' bad luck.

This will make even the Spanish fans feel like they have offended God, because in the eyes of most Spanish fans, these two people are also the core of the frontcourt and the core of the midfield.

And the core of a team's frontcourt and midfield are all gone. No matter how strong the foundation is, it will be greatly affected, right?

But Zhang Desheng knew: It really doesn’t have much impact!

In other words, Xavi's injury will have some impact, but Raul's injury... well, it has no impact at all.

Also, he didn't seem to be injured at all, at least the injury didn't get worse!

Raul unfortunately suffered a serious knee injury in the middle of last season, and he quickly failed to find his best physical condition before the start of the World Cup. At this time, his combat power was still 86 (-4). He was actually at this time. One of the worst Spanish strikers.

Zhang Desheng saw on the system yesterday that Harvey's status was 66 (-25). This is indeed a sign of serious injury.

But Raul is still in a state of 86 (-4), which means that his injury has not worsened at all. It is probably due to some conflict with the coaching staff or causing trouble in the locker room.

Some facts can be captured from the recent news. A few days ago, the Spanish national team put on a show in front of the media. When they had a group dinner together, Raul said in a joking way when handing the tableware to his teammates: "I Still the best player in the world, but now serving you at the table.”

These words made the head coach Aragones' face change significantly at that time, and he turned a little bit livid after a while, and this change was caught on camera by reporters who were afraid of chaos in the world.

Obviously, Raul said these words through the camera, semi-publicly expressing his dissatisfaction with not being reused.

But the problem is that there is no need to look at his current status systematically. It can be seen with the naked eye that his injury is not completely healed, at least he has not found his condition yet.

So a few days later, news came out that Raul's injury had worsened. It was obvious that Aragones had completely abandoned Raul.

And this may actually be good news for the Macau team, because Raul is not a worry-free leader. He might cause more trouble in the team and even mess up the entire locker room.

If this is the case, then it will be a major benefit to the Macau team.

So one day later, while watching the opening match between Germany and Costa Rica, Mr. Zhang decided that in the next interview, he should focus on praising Raul.

Of course, what Zhang Gongzi and the Macau team should pay more attention to at this time is not the Spanish team, but the Tunisian team that will play against each other in five days.

This is the opponent they will face in the first group stage, although he understands that this World Cup is a watershed for Tunisia's golden generation.

But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Macau team may become a turning point for Tunisia from prosperity to decline.

He didn't want future generations to record that the beginning of Tunisia's dark decade officially began with the bloodbath against the Macau team!
If this is such a history, it would be too silly!
