Football: God-level striker, all teammates lie down

This year's Club World Cup is held in Asia, in the country of Sakurako.

Osaka and Yokohama are the two host cities.

Brothers Sulei should be very familiar with Osaka and Yokohama.

Osaka Sakura, Gamba Osaka, Yokohama F. Marinos are all very famous J-League teams.

They must have cheated a lot of money, right?

The participating teams of the Club World Cup are the champions of the six continents, plus the champions of the top leagues of the host countries.

A total of seven teams.

A total of two teams in Asia have qualified for the competition, the last Asian Champions League champion, Jeonbuk Hyundai, and last year's J-League champion Kashima Antlers.

After a few years, Kashima Antlers has fallen from a J-League powerhouse to a mid-level team.

The other teams are Mamelodi in South Africa, Americas of Central and North America, Auckland City in Australia, and the South American Libertadores Cup champion, Atlético Nacional Medellin.

Brazil and Argentina performed terribly in the last Copa Libertadores, and the South American Libertadores trophy was rarely taken away by a Colombian team.

Because of their strength, the European champions and the South American Libertadores Cup champions only need to start from the semi-finals.

This is indeed reasonable. In the previous 12 Club World Cups, all the championships were divided by the Copa Libertadores champions and the Champions League champions.

The other four continental champions have never won the Club World Cup.

On December 14, the entire Manchester City team arrived in Yokohama.

After a day of rest, they will face their semi-final opponent, Mexico America.

After the entire Manchester City team got off the plane, a large number of fans came here to meet them.

They almost surrounded the airport.

There are a large number of security personnel to maintain order.

Compared with Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Manchester City's influence is actually much worse.

It can't even be compared with Manchester United and Arsenal's global influence.

Because of the foundation!

However, after Manchester City's success in Europe last season, its influence has increased.

In addition, Zhao Yi's influence in Asia, especially in East Asia, is indeed unmatched by other players.

Therefore, a large number of fans held Zhao Yi's jerseys and photos.

Zhao Yi also saw a lot of red flags.

"Zhao Yi!!"

"I love you! I love you so much!!"

"Look here, here! Here! Ah!!! Ah!!!"

Zhao Yi heard the familiar hometown dialect.

Some of these yellow-skinned and black-haired fans came from China to Yingguo from afar, and some were Chinese who lived, worked or studied in Yingguo.

There are still many Chinese people gathered here.

In every big city in Yingguo, there is a Chinese street. You don't even need to understand Ying language to live, work and study here smoothly.

Many people joked that this is a colony of China here.

Zhao Yi looked at these enthusiastic fans, watching them waving their hands vigorously and shouting his name.

It touched him a lot.

There are also many children holding footballs and jerseys, staring at Zhao Yi with expectation.

As if waiting eagerly.

Zhao Yi exchanged a few words with Guardiola.

He needs some time.

According to the original plan, all Manchester City people need to rush to the hotel to have a good rest immediately.

They have other arrangements for the fan meeting.

"I believe that many of them have asked for leave to squeeze out time to come here, and it is difficult for them to have the opportunity to attend the meeting later."

Guardiola was a little helpless. The team's schedule cannot be changed casually.

But who makes this Asia, this is his favorite apprentice?

"Give you twenty minutes."

Zhao Yi walked towards the fans and took the pen they handed over.

He heard people call him dad, husband, and brother.

Today, it was the first time I heard someone call him uncle here.

A little boy of five or six years old, his father held him, and he held the football.

The babyish voice made Zhao Yi feel that the world was full of vitality and hope.

Zhao Yi solemnly signed his name on his little football and took a photo with the father and son.

Zhao Yi had a lot to say to the kid, and wanted to tell him that he should work hard towards his dream.

But in the end, he couldn't say it.

He couldn't say a word.

Because he had a principle, never tell lies.

Even words of encouragement couldn't be lies.

For a child, the road of football is full of hope.

But when he grows up, he will find that those hopes may be unrealistic fantasies.

The grown-up child will suddenly find that Zhao Yi had deceived him.

Fans kept flocking to Zhao Yi, stretching their arms and holding jerseys.

Whether they took these jerseys to collect or sell, Zhao Yi didn't care.

He kept signing his name on the jerseys and footballs..

Twenty minutes is definitely not enough.

It was not until after forty minutes that the team staff stopped Zhao Yi.

No more, I have to go.

Other Manchester City players also helped to sign a lot of names.

Looking at the eager eyes of a large group of fans.

Zhao Yi also knew that it was impossible to sign all of them.

He waved at these enthusiastic fans.

This kind of thing also happened in England and Manchester.

Fans surrounded Zhao Yi's apartment after the championship celebration.

Zhao Yi signed a lot and interacted with English fans for almost two hours.

At that time, he talked a lot and kept interacting and bickering with some fans who were chatting with him.

Today, he has been silent.

Many fans asked him why he didn't return to the national team while he was signing.

These fans shouted that they loved him and would always support him.

The questions he asked made him unable to answer.

He had already made the decision not to return to the national football team.

Every time Zhao Yi saw the doubts and expectations of these fans, he felt uncomfortable.

The Chinese national football team is not something that he alone can change.

But if he doesn't try to change it, can he really live up to the expectations of so many fans?

Sitting on the bus to the hotel, Zhao Yi leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes, and was bored.

"I heard many fans waving red flags and asking you questions. What are they asking?" Guardiola asked Aguero, who had recovered from his injury, to change his seat and sit next to Zhao Yi.

"Ask me when I will join the national team and serve the country."

Guardiola nodded and understood.

He noticed the change in Zhao Yi's expression when he saw the red flag.

"If you don't join the national team, there must be unsolvable problems, but I heard that Chinese and British football have many similarities.

For example, both countries have multiple football associations that can participate in the Asian Cup and the World Cup."
