Chapter 424: Bloodwashing Galatasaray(1/2)
The 2015 Asian Cup was the 16th Asian Cup football match. The top three in the last Asian Cup, Japan, Australia and South Korea automatically advanced to the finals.
In addition to these three teams, among the remaining 42 AFC member associations, 22 countries or regions with lower rankings participate in the AFC Challenger Cup, and the champion can directly advance to the Australian Asian Cup finals.
In addition to the teams that directly advance and those who participated in the Challenger Cup, the remaining 20 members of the AFC are divided into five groups to determine the remaining 11 final round tickets through the qualifiers.
The top two of the five groups in the qualifiers directly advanced, and the third with the best scored won the last ticket. (The Chinese team in the original history got the promotion quota through the third with the best scored)
The Chinese team and Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Indonesia are in Group C in this Asian Cup qualifiers, and the qualifiers officially start on February 6.
On February 6, 2013, Iraq defeated Indonesia 1-0 at home in a neutral position.
On February 7, it was the turn of the Chinese team and the Saudi team to play.
At the Prince Fahd Stadium in Daman, Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia launched an offensive style at home, hoping to defeat the Chinese team and win the first victory of the qualifiers.
Saudi Arabia, which was pushing against the attack, scored two goals from the Chinese team.
However, the Chinese team has Zhang Huasong. He is away, and the opponent takes the initiative to attack, and his overall tactics are also defensive counterattacks.
So, at Prince Fahd Stadium, the Chinese team scored 4 goals through efficient defensive counterattacks.
After striking a hat-trick against Jordan in the last top ten match, Zhang Huasong once again scored a hat-trick and assisted the remaining ball.
The Chinese team defeated Saudi Arabia 4-2 away, defeating Iraq by goal difference, and temporarily ranked first in the Group C standings.
Zhang Huasong, who scored a hat trick in two consecutive national team games, naturally became an idol admired by fans across the country. Zhang Huasong's popularity in China is still rising.
After the away game with Saudi Arabia, Zhang Huasong could not return to China to celebrate the Spring Festival with his national teammates, because on the first day of the first lunar month, Atletico Madrid still had a away league game.
Zhang Huasong didn't want to put himself above the team, and he didn't even play the game in order to celebrate the Spring Festival, which had a bad impact on other players.
Therefore, after the Asian Cup qualifiers with Saudi Arabia, Zhang Huasong flew back to Madrid and did not return home to celebrate the New Year with the national team.
On February 9, on New Year's Eve in China, Atletico Madrid did not train normally.
Zhang Huasong invited all staff and players of Atletico Madrid Club as the boss and the player. The coach had a dinner at a Chinese restaurant in Madrid Chinatown, and invited the local Chinese community art performance team to bring everyone a distinctive Chinese singing and dancing performance.
Shu Yufei was not in China, but accompanied Zhang Huasong to spend this New Year's Eve with the team in Spain.
The Chinese-style singing and dancing performances, delicious Chinese food, as well as the dragon and lion dance performances on the streets, all made the entire Atletico Madrid team very excited.
However, because the game was going to be played the next day, the players did not drink alcohol and just ate the New Year’s Eve dinner with Chinese characteristics together.
After spending a night with Chinese characteristics, on February 10, on the Chinese Spring Festival, Atletico Madrid played against Vallecano away, which was the 23rd round of La Liga.
This game, including Zhang Huasong, may have been affected by yesterday's New Year's Eve party, and was a little out of shape during the game.
In the end, although Zhang Huasong scored a free kick, Atletico Madrid was tied 2-2 by Vallecano on the away game.
Since the second round of the league, Atletico Madrid has finally stopped its streak of winning streak in the league and was tied by Vallecano, a small team in the Madrid region.
After the game, Vallecano's players, coaches and fans were as excited as the New Year.
Today's La Liga, if it is not considered the Copa del Rey, they can tie Atletico Madrid, which has Zhang Huasong and the main players in the league. They are the first team.
Therefore, it is totally worth their celebration for a draw.
In particular, everyone is a team from the Madrid region. Although Atletico Madrid does not regard them as their derby opponents, they regard Atletico Madrid as their derby opponents.
This draw brought Barcelona, which beat Getafe 6-1 at home in the same round, narrowing the score gap of 2 points, only 5 points away from Atletico Madrid.
However, Atletico Madrid's entire team didn't care.
They all knew that this draw was not a reflection of their real strength, but it was just that the whole team participated in the Chinese New Year activities organized by President Zhang the day before, which affected their status.
Even if they were forced to get a draw, they were still 5 points ahead of Barcelona. With their condition this season, they will not give Barcelona more chances to catch up with points in the future.
However, other media and fans don't think so.
The happiest thing is naturally the Barcelona media and fans. They believe that the successive victory some time ago made Atletico Madrid feel proud and underestimated.
When they were about to participate in the league the next day, the entire team had to go to Chinatown to participate in the so-called Chinese New Year dinner and watch the art performance until the early morning to go back to rest.
Obviously, this kind of emotion is a manifestation of lack of foundation and pride and underestimation of the enemy.
As long as you have this emotion, Atletico Madrid will not be far from collapse.
As for other media and fans, they also believe that Atletico Madrid's approach is a sign of pride and underestimation. Perhaps, the draw with Vallecano is really the turning point in Barcelona competing for the championship this season.
What happened next made Atletico Madrid, especially Zhang Huasong, proudly underestimate the enemy, arguing that Atletico Madrid and Zhang Huasong are rampant.
Because, after the draw with Vallecano, Zhang Huasong flew back to China. Then, on February 14, Zhang Huasong and Shu Yufei jointly launched their new album "Fade" and held a signing meeting.
"Fade" is an electric pure music and is released as the title song of the album of the same name.
Then, the album also has "faded" written with lyrics with fade, which was released as an English song sung by Shu Yufei.
This album has 12 songs in total, and the other 10 songs are all Chinese songs.
Zhang Huasong's album basically maintains this configuration. 10 Chinese songs consolidate fans in Zhang Huasong's native language, and pure music and English songs enter the international market and strive for Grammy Awards.
After the album "fade" was released, the pure music "fade" was indeed popular all over the world like the last time "vitory".
As a pure electronic music that is popular all over the world in parallel time and space, this song "fade" was launched by Zhang Huasong, who is more famous on Blue Star, and is more popular among fans and fans around the world.
As for Zhang Huasong's lyrics based on this pure music, "Faded" sung by Shu Yufei also attracted countless fans with his ethereal voice.
Zhang Huasong's new album "Fade" was naturally a great success, but the media and fans in the football world believed that this was Zhang Huasong's proud and careless attitude towards the next league game.
Most people believe that launching new albums and holding signings will definitely involve Zhang Huasong's huge energy and physical strength.
Moreover, even if Zhang Huasong is an iron man, he will be greatly affected by the jet lag.
Even if Zhang Huasong's new album "Fade" is successful or popular, it will definitely have a real impact on him in the football field.
Therefore, on February 17, Atletico Madrid away against Valladolid in the 24th round of La Liga, attracted much attention.
One is because Zhang Huasong's new album "Fade" just released was a hit and the attention was high. The other is that the media and fans want to see the performance of Atletico Madrid and Zhang Huasong, whether they are really proud and underestimating the opponent.
Especially the media and fans in Barcelona opened their eyes wide, hoping to see evidence of Zhang Huasong and Atletico Madrid's sluggish performance as soon as possible.
However, Zhang Huasong and Atletico Madrid disappointed everyone.
In this away game where the team's fans cheered for themselves, Atletico Madrid scored a total of 5 goals, and did not allow Valladolid to score a goal.
Zhang Huasong scored twice in this game, and it seemed that he was not affected by the last league draw and the signing of Spain. China held a new album, which disappointed the Barcelona media and fans who hoped to see Atletico Madrid collapse.
Atletico Madrid defeated Valladolid 5-0 away and continued to lead the La Liga standings. Although Barcelona won the goal in this round, they failed to narrow the gap in points.
After playing away game against Valladolid, Atletico Madrid took a plane to Istanbul, Turkey to prepare to participate in the away game against Galatasaray in the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals.
This is when Galatasaray returns to the Champions League after missing the Champions League for many years and is able to qualify in the group.
In the 1/8 final, facing Atletico Madrid, which has world-class superstar Zhang Huasong, Galatasaray, from players, coaches, fans and media, knows that the possibility of defeating Atletico Madrid away is slim.
Therefore, their hope of defeating Atletico Madrid and advancing to the quarterfinals was placed on the first round home game. They hoped to take advantage of the Devil's home advantage and gain a greater lead in the first round.
If you can kill suspense in the first round, that's the best.
Before the game began, the Ali Samiyan Stadium, which had been filled with fans, became a stage for Turkish carnival.
When Atletico Madrid players came out to warm up, they put out a huge "Welcome to Hell" banner in the stands, and they were typed in Spanish and English, obviously specially for Atletico Madrid players and fans.
The visiting Atletico Madrid fans, with less than 100 people, were isolated and protected by local police in a small stand area, like a side boat in the sea, and there is a danger of being wiped out at any time.
Zhang Huasong looked at the huge banner while warming up and smiled at his teammates next to him: "What do you think they would react if we beat them away?"
Aguero smiled and said, "I guess he will be furious, right?"
Falcao said: "That is definitely the most unacceptable result for them! Before the game, there was a suspense that the Turkish media said they would use their home advantage to end two rounds at home. The implication was that they wanted to beat us at home. If they lost, it would definitely be the biggest blow to these fans."
Costa said hideously: "No, just winning them is not the biggest blow to them! We must beat them so that they can realize that their so-called hell and the so-called devil's home court have no effect on us, and that is the biggest blow to these fanatical fans."
Zhang Huasong nodded and said, "Costa is right. Let us do our best to conquer this so-called home court of hell together, so that all these Turkish fans can shut up!"
The others nodded, and Atletico Madrid's frontcourt attackers reached a complete agreement on this matter.
At 9:00 p.m. local time on February 20, after the Champions League theme song, with the referee's whistle, the 2012/2013 Champions League 1/8 finals of Galatasaray's home game against Atletico Madrid officially began.
At the beginning of the game, Galatasaray used his home advantage to launch a storm-like attack on Atletico Madrid.
Although everyone knows that Atletico Madrid is playing a defensive counterattack, and Zhang Huasong has the highest counterattack speed in the world. However, if you want to end the suspense of advancing in the first round, Galatasaray cannot play a defensive counterattack like Atletico Madrid.
They have no choice but to attack and strive to score more goals.
No matter what the situation is, their choice to get the ball is offensive.
However, under the guidance of Simeone, the former iron-blooded midfielder, the entire Atletico Madrid team is at the forefront of the defense in Europe.
On the spiritual level, it is also the forefront of Europe and will not be lower than the German team that claims to be the highest spiritual will. No matter how terrifying the Turkish fans in the stands make boo and scold, it has little impact on Atletico Madrid players on the court.
Therefore, Galatasaray's offense not only failed to score, but was intercepted by Atletico Madrid and took the opportunity to counterattack.
In the 4th minute, Zhang Huasong used his speed to cut off the opponent's pass and instigated a successful and efficient counterattack. After three-foot pass, the ball fell to Costa's feet. Costa shook the angle and shot with a kick. The ball entered the net. The goalkeeper of Galatasaray was beyond the reach and could only watch the ball entered the net.
Just 4 minutes into the opening game, Atletico Madrid led 1-0 away.
Sure enough, when Atletico Madrid led, the Turkish fans in the stands booed and scolded loudly, venting their anger and dissatisfaction with Atletico Madrid.
However, fans are not players, and their booing and scolding cannot affect the firm Atletico Madrid players.
In the 9th minute, Zhang Huasong used continuous fried croquettes and oxtails to slew over three players in Marseille and sent the ball into the blind spot of the goal.
Zhang Huasong scored his first goal, Atletico Madrid led 2-0 away, and the Turks in the stands became even more angry.
To be continued...
