After the focus match between Chelsea and Manchester United, two international match days will be ushered in, that is, the 2010 South Africa World Cup play-offs. 25 places from all continents have been born, and only the twelve teams that have the last chance to advance to the finals are left to compete for six places to advance to the finals.
Eight teams from Europe compete for four promotion places, among which the matches are: Ireland VS France, Portugal VS Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece VS Ukraine, Slovenia VS Russia, Asia and Oceania compete for one promotion place: Japan VS New Zealand, North America and South America compete for one promotion place: Uruguay VS Costa Rica.
Chelsea is a European giant. The main players and substitute players in the team are basically the main players or substitute players of their respective national teams, so they report directly to the national team after the game. The same is true for Ai Luo. The Chinese XX Football Association finalized this national team match day two months ago and arranged a warm-up match for the Chinese team. time.
But before that, the British media still conducted detailed reports and analysis on the just-concluded England National Derby.
The Times, which has always been supportive of Chelsea and Aiello, said: "The fundamental reason why Chelsea can beat Manchester United at home is that Ai's personal performance drives the offense of the entire team. Compared with Cristiano Ronaldo who scored two goals alone, his performance is more eye-catching. In addition, Chelsea's technical and tactical play is obviously more team-oriented, while Manchester United's tactics are more inclined to reflect Cristiano Ronaldo's personal ability... You must know that football is a team sport. No matter how good a person is, he cannot beat a team. Chelsea is very good Shows the importance of the team!"
"The fundamental difference between Ai and Cristiano Ronaldo is that Ai's personal performance is based on teamwork, while Cristiano Ronaldo expresses himself at the expense of the team. The fundamental reason also affects the final result of the game..."
Of course, in addition to the "Times" that praised Chelsea and Aiello, other newspapers such as "French Football", "Turin Sports", "Echo" and other newspapers also made headlines.
At this time, Ai Luo has already taken a flight to Cardiff to reunite with the national team. After a week of preparations, he will play an international friendly match with the Welsh national team at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. The players recruited for this international friendly match are basically players who play in Europe, and only a few outstanding players come from China.
Therefore, when the Chinese XX Football Association announced the recruited players on the official website, many Japanese and Korean media felt very jealous. The combined number of players in Europe from the two countries did not have as many main players as the Chinese team playing in the five major European leagues. It is really a comparison between countries.
Not all the players recruited by Wales this time came from participating in the World Cup European qualifiers. Most of them chose newcomers, such as Tottenham's Gareth Bale, Arsenal's Ramsey, and the British Championship team Swansea's Joe Allen.
As time goes by, almost every country's media will pay attention to the national team's game, and so will the media from China.
Chinese fans thousands of miles away also pay attention to this internationally certified A-level friendly match, because this game is the time to review the overall strength of the Chinese team. Although Wales is not a strong European team, it can be regarded as a second-tier team in Europe, but the ranking is slightly lower. In other words, if the Chinese team can beat Wales in Cardiff, then the overall strength of the Chinese team has reached the second-tier European team, and they have more confidence in the World Cup finals seven months later.
※※※
On the day of the game, the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff was packed, and most of the Chinese studying or working in Europe came to the scene to cheer for their national team.
The Chinese team has the strongest lineup. The striker trident is Ai Luo, Gao Lin and Hao Junmin. There is a change in the midfield. Chen Tao, Wu Xi and Zhao Xuri, and the four defenders are Sun Xiang, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linpeng and Zheng Zhi.
Before the end of the first half, Aiello's superior personal skills were fully reflected. After breaking through two defenders in the middle, he shot an unreasonable long-range shot past the goal guarded by Welsh goalkeeper Hennessy.
In the first 10 minutes of the game, Aiello and Gareth Bale each scored a free kick.
In the end, the Chinese team defeated the old and new Welsh national team 3:1 away.
The players who finished the national team game also disbanded and returned to their respective clubs to continue their club matches...
Two days later, the six teams decided in the World Cup qualifying play-offs also had results: France, Portugal, Greece, Slovenia, Uruguay and Japan.
It is worth mentioning that there was controversy in the second round of the match between France and Ireland. The two sides had to enter overtime when the total score was 180:1 in 1 minutes. As a result, Henry assisted Gallas to score with a handball in the 103rd minute, but the referee turned a blind eye. Ireland regretted saying goodbye to the World Cup.
But it has nothing to do with Ai Luo. The Chinese team has already entered the World Cup finals, and the previous warm-up match has also won, so his attention has returned to the league and the Champions League group stage.
With the end of the international match day, the players returned to their clubs to report one after another. Modric and Ivanovic, who had just participated in the national team game, both suffered from strains and needed to rest for two weeks.
I don't know if it was affected by Modric's injury. Chelsea won one and two draws in the remaining three games in November. Except for the victory against Wolves at home, they failed to win the away games against Porto and Arsenal in the league. Chelsea stopped the winning streak.
Manchester United, who won the game, took the opportunity to bring each other's points closer to three points.
Likewise, Cristiano Ronaldo has 24 league goals, just one behind Aiello.
Chelsea has never lost a game from August to December, except for the Community Shield loss to Manchester United, and there are only three draws. Therefore, Mourinho is still full of confidence in Chelsea's impact on the major championships for three consecutive championships.
However, when the team entered December, the first quarter-final of the League Cup against Blackburn in the away game was actually defeated by the home team with a two-goal lead. This result made Mourinho very annoyed.
Defense has always been Chelsea's strength, and the opponent is still a team in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. Mourinho has no reason to forgive the continuous poor performance of the defense, because the performance of the entire defense in the last 10 minutes can only be described as a pile of shit!
So the one-day holiday before the away game against Manchester City was gone...
※※※
Often at the beginning of December, the nominations for major European awards are also in the final stage. Aiello, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are all shortlisted for the final list.
It is worth mentioning that this year's European Golden Boy Award once again has two young Chinese players shortlisted - Wu Xi and Zhang Linpeng, but the most popular winners are not them, but the demon star Pato who has become AC Milan's main striker.
In the past year, everyone knew that Aiello was the best player on the planet. He played consistently throughout the 2008-2009 season and defended all the championships he won in the 2007-2008 season. Among them, he led Chelsea to successfully defend the Champions League and became the first team to defend the Champions League since the restructuring of the Champions League.Therefore, there are no surprises in the European Golden Globe Awards and the World Footballer's Gold Award.
Coupled with the leading advantages in various personal statistics, it can be said that if Aiello does not win the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer, he will be the biggest shady on the planet!
Therefore, neither "French Football" nor FIFA will deny objective facts, and Aiello's election is only a matter of time.
December is destined to be the harvest season for Chinese football.
But at this moment, Manchester City midfielder De Jong, who is about to become Aiello's opponent, expressed his dissatisfaction in an interview with Manchester local media: "Chelsea's next league opponent is our great Manchester City, not the European Ballon d'Or and the World Player of the Year award ceremony. Why does the whole world revolve around him?"
The London media was dissatisfied at the time, and sarcastically said: "Ai Ke is recognized as No.1 in world football, do you deserve to say that about him?"
"Huh!" De Jong snorted coldly, and there was already a devil in his heart ready to move: "I will let him know how good I am in the league the day after tomorrow! I will make it difficult for him to move!!"
"I'm sorry, I have forgotten how many people you are who said this, but I can tell you that those who said these words before have been slapped in the face, and you will be one of them."
"Wait and see!"
……
"Niger de Jong, the Dutch midfielder, expressed his dissatisfaction with Ai becoming the darling of the media in December in an interview with reporters yesterday. He asked the media to correct their posture. The upcoming Premier League is the top priority. He also had conflicts with some media during the interview. He threatened to face Chelsea at home in the league, making it difficult for Ai to move..."
Ai Luo frowned watching the news.
It's not that he doesn't have confidence in the game, but that De Jong, who is dubbed "North Germany Jongnan Pepe" by Chinese fans, often doesn't use his brain in games and can do whatever he wants. In his "previous life", he kicked Xavi Alonso in the chest in the South Africa World Cup final, and a rib was broken during the post-match inspection.
Facing De Jong really needs to be careful and careful!
