Prominence in Football Community

On July 13, 2014, the World Cup final was held at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Simoni's home country, Argentina, reached the World Cup final under the leadership of Messi. Their opponent was the German national team.

This is the third time the two teams have met in the World Cup finals. The two teams won each of the first two times:

In the classic 1986 Mexico World Cup, Argentina led by Maradona defeated Germany 3:2 and won the Hercules Gold Cup.

The second and last encounter was the World Cup in Italy four years later. As a result, Argentina with Maradona lost 0:1 to Germany in the final, and the hope of defending the champion was shattered.

Although Simone sat in front of the TV watching the live broadcast of the game, he was obviously absent-minded.

Halfway through July, the World Cup is about to end. The players who only participated in the World Cup group games have returned to the team, and the players who have participated in the knockout games have also returned. The Atletico Madrid training is more lively every day than before, the people are getting more and more tidy, and the plan for the new season is also It must be determined.

But until now, the most important piece of puzzle in Simone's mind has not been implemented.

This made him a little bit unconcerned about whether Argentina can beat Germany to become a world champion, and whether Messi can successfully win the championship with this World Cup.

Although it was the final, the two sides played very cautiously, and the scene was not exciting, plus Simone had something in mind and often ran away.

In the 30th minute, Argentina had a goal, but Higuain shot offside. Simone only reacted after the ball was blown away. His national team just scored...

"Dad, would you concentrate on watching the ball?" Son Giovanni Simone gave a white glance to the father next to him. "This is a great opportunity for us to impact the World Cup!"

Simone made a sorry gesture to his son.

In this way, both sides had some opportunities, but they didn't catch it, and the game time passed by one minute and one second.

Until the end of the ninety minutes, the score is 0:0.

After the start of overtime, Simone could finally put his attention to the game. After all, Gao Zheng's things were not in a hurry for this moment, but the World Cup champion is likely to be in thirty minutes. Determined.

As an Argentinian, he still hopes that his country can win the World Cup.

In the ninety-seventh minute of the game, Argentina defender Rojo sent a diagonal pass on the left and played for Inter Milan striker Icardi against Neuer. He chose a kick but the football Missed the goal!

"Oh!" Simone patted the thigh with regret.

"Icardi missed an excellent opportunity! He had the opportunity to tilt the balance of victory towards Argentina! The shooter who performed well in Inter Milan last season but failed to score the goal this time! He himself is very sorry... …"

The TV broadcast gave Icardi a close-up shot, with his hands on his head and watching the football miss the direction of the goal. It was incredible.

"Speaking of Icardi’s performance at Inter Milan last season, he performed very well, but his performance at this World Cup was quite average... He has not yet scored a goal in the finals. If the last few rounds of the league are counted, His goal shortage is a bit long..." commented by Spanish television commentators.

In the direct dialogue between Sampdoria and Inter Milan in the 33rd round of Serie A last season, Icardi scored a goal. But that was the last goal he scored. Until the end of the league, he didn't score for the entire five rounds of the league. The number of league goals was finally fixed at 21 goals.

With the excellent performance in the first thirty-three rounds of the league, he was selected for the current Argentina national team. He once played in the group stage once, but did not score a goal. At other times, he is also a substitute on the team.

In this final, he replaced Higuain in the 77th minute.

He almost became the hero of Argentina.

"I have to say, Icardi and Gao really have a gap." Giovanni said suddenly.

Let Simone stare at him.

"If Gao was just at his chance just now, there is a good chance that the ball has entered the goal." The eldest son said indignantly.

"But Gao is not Argentine." Simone reminded his son.

"Yeah. Unfortunately, he is not an Argentine. His national team is too bad. I think he may not appear in the World Cup until his retirement... I mean as a player, not as an advertisement. Card..." Giovanni said. "I think if Icardi scored that goal just now, he might be able to beat Gao, because Gao can never participate in the World Cup..."

At this moment, Simone's cell phone rang, and he glanced down at it, which was called by his sister.

"Dad..." Giovanni complained helplessly, and nobody wanted to be disturbed at the critical moment of watching the ball.

"Sorry." Simone picked up his cell phone and walked out of the living room, only to get in the yard outside the house.

"Dear brother, get ready to renew the contract with Atletico Madrid!" Natalia's cheerful voice rang from the phone.

Simone froze for a moment before he realized the meaning behind this sentence. He exclaimed: "They signed Gao?"

"Yes, that's right! Cerezo just called me to inform this news, the clubs of both parties have reached an agreement, and now the medical checkup is close!"

"Does he agree to join Atletico Madrid?" Simoni asked eagerly, because he noticed that Natalia said that the two clubs reached an agreement. World football is not lacking in the kind of mutual agreement between teams, but for various reasons the players themselves do not agree to lead to a precedent for the transfer.

"His agent has already negotiated with the Atletico Madrid Club, and I said, I only signed the player's physical examination!"

"But how can the club come up with 90 million..."

"In fact there is not 90 million, my brother. The final transaction amount is 75 million euros, Sampdoria agreed to this number in exchange for our guarantee that the money will be paid in two years."

"But 75 million is not a small number, where did the club come with so much money?"

"Ha, I have to talk about the credit of the Chinese!"

"High? What does this have to do with Gao?"

"No, it’s not Gao, it’s Gao’s compatriots, a big super rich consortium in China, they took the initiative to contact Atletico Madrid and are willing to provide some funds for this transfer of Atletico Madrid in exchange for further cooperation between the two sides. opportunity……"

"This..." Simone was surprised. He didn't expect that the funding problem was finally solved in this way. But it is reasonable to think about it carefully. As a Chinese player so successful in Europe, Gao Zheng's influence in China must also be very huge, it is estimated to be the same as Messi's position in Argentine football. It is no surprise that Chinese companies are willing to spend money to get this player to land in La Liga and join the future partner team Atletico Madrid. Although this company has paid a huge amount of money, it has obtained the opportunity to cooperate with Atletico Madrid, while also gaining a good reputation in China. Whatever it is, it is a good and profitable business.

Simone doesn't care how the club solves the funding problem. Whether it is sponsored by Chinese companies or other methods, he only fancy the result. As long as Gao Zheng bought it, that's a good thing.

After he put down his phone, he no longer suppressed his emotions, but shouted excitedly.

Then he returned to the living room with a big smile, but found his son's mood was wrong, so he asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"The German team scored a goal! Goetze! Just now, we were behind..."

Giovanni said sadly.

Simone turned his attention to the TV set and found that the game was in progress, but the real-time score in the upper right corner had indeed become 1:0, leading Germany.

Now the game is 115 minutes, and there is not much time left for Argentina and Messi...
