Chapter 823: The Feast Continues
"The ball went to !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Marcelo scored a penalty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Real Madrid is the champion! They won their 12th European Championship! The moment Marcelo kicked the ball into the net, Huang Jianxiang roared in a heart-rending manner.
Liu Hao also won his fourth Champions League trophy! This is the fourth year in a row that he has won the Champions League! β
Mansour created an unprecedented cosmic squad that eventually lost to Real Madrid, and their dream of a quadruple this season was shattered, they did not win the first Champions League trophy in the team's history, and the peerless combination of Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Suarez did not succeed! It is still Liu Hao and his friends who dominate football. β
Manchester City's space battleship did not get the result they wanted, Real Madrid with Liu Hao is still the winner of the Champions League, and football is still in the era of white clothes.
In the face of this sudden defeat, the English media kept bombarding Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola at the post-match press conference, basically aiming at the last penalty he arranged.
The winner is king, and the loser is the loser. "Why didn't you think about getting ready for the sixth and seventh penalty takers!"
Everyone is not stupid, Zidane began to shout at Marcelo and Carvajal in the center circle when the fifth player, that is, Kroos, went to take a penalty, on the contrary, Guardiola did not make any moves at all, this very subtle difference is the watershed of the Champions League final, the balance of victory and defeat.
Victory always belongs to those who are prepared, and it is clear that Pep Guardiola's preparation is not as good as Zidane's, so the title slips away.
What can Guardiola say, the facts are already in front of us, and this is an ironclad fact. Zidane just did better than him.
But. Who would have thought that after five rounds of penalty kicks, they would continue to play! I was thinking that after five rounds, Manchester City would already be the European champions!
You are scolding me, who am I scolding? If it weren't for Lao Tzu's successful tactics, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have reached the penalty shootout.
'We've done our best, we can't just see failure, we gave a lot in the chase for the title, it was a success throughout the game and our players were doing well. It was a miracle that he didn't get a shot on goal, didn't let him kick a free kick or a corner, you know, no team had ever done it before, the first three teams all ended up losing, even in the penalty shoot-out, the players performed perfectly, no one made a single mistake. But there is always a time when the game is over......"
"In the end, I still can't hide your mediocre ending!" The English media does not agree, no matter how good your process is, the final result is tragic, and this tragedy is man-made. It doesn't make sense at all. "If you had prepared a few more penalty takers, it wouldn't have been that way!"
That night, the city was in a commotion, and Pep Guardiola and his team broke the hearts of Manchester City fans. They took a bus back to Manchester City overnight, and what was waiting for them was cold and cold, and no fans came to pick them up. Because they were so disappointed.
On the contrary, Real Madrid rushed back to Madrid overnight, and nearly 300,000 fans in the Harvest Goddess Square were waiting for them, and this night was destined to be sleepless.
And Real Madrid don't need to say anything before the press conference, because the victory says it all!
The 2017-2018 season ended in such a way......
But the feast of football doesn't end there, it's just the beginning! The Battle of the Century is nothing more than an appetizer before the World Cup, even though it tastes a little weird.
The 2018 World Cup is finally coming off......
"Belgium."
"Columbia."
"CΓ΄te d'Ivoire."
"China ......"
In order to maintain enough suspense, the draw ceremony for the Russian World Cup was not announced until the end of May, which made most countries cry for their fathers and mothers, and it stands to reason that the World Cup draw ceremony will generally be carried out half a year in advance, so that each national team can find similar opponents to warm up and prepare, but this time is different!
However, for the Chinese team, it doesn't really make a difference what opponent is drawn.
Then, the Chinese team entered Group H, which includes Belgium, ranked No. 1 in the world, Colombia in South America, and Ivory Coast, a strong opponent in Africa......
The three opponents of the Chinese team have very different styles, Belgium is a pure technical style of play, and the demon of the year has now grown into a big-name star, a veritable world powerhouse, otherwise it would not be a seeded player in Group H now.
Colombia, this is a typical South American team, with a combination of skill and strength, and for many years even Brazil drank Argentina to resist them.
As for the Ivorian team? This physical African champion team is something that no national team dares to underestimate.
It is difficult for the Chinese team to grab a spot among these three teams......
However, for the Chinese team, what does it matter if it is difficult?
"You can't always be in a group with other Asian teams...... Liu Hao quipped after returning from the Champions League final, "The ideal group is China, Australia, South Korea, Iran...... Of course it's not going to happen, I think we were lucky in the draw, you look at Italy...... It's just miserable, can you imagine that they are in the group of death every time in the World Cup? Italians have big hearts. β
Italy are in Group E against Argentina, Sweden and South Africa. Italy has not had a smooth time in the group stage of the World Cup! Of course, that doesn't stop them from making it out of the group stage.
"In fact, our ideal opponent would be to meet some teams with relatively rough skills......"
"Relatively rough, is there a team that is rougher than the Chinese team?"
"The Chinese team is actually quite technical...... At least the technical and tactical literacy is high. Liu Hao's answer was very confident. This Chinese team was brought by Mourinho, and the technical and tactical literacy is naturally not bad, otherwise he would not dare to answer like this.
Liu Hao's subconscious is actually to say that Belgium is not easy to deal with, but Colombia and Ivory Coast are still very suitable opponents......
Hosts Russia, seeded in Group A, naturally got their best draw, joining South Korea, Chile and Wales.
In Group B, Argentina have been drawn from a group with rivals England, while the other two teams are Nigeria and Iran.
The Germans are in Group E, while Cristiano Ronaldo is in Portugal's Group G...... (To be continued.) )
