During the call with Mendes, Zhang Yang heard a news that surprised him.

His good friend Frank Ribery may leave Marseille.

This news surprised Zhang Yang because it was very credible to hear from Mendes that Ribery might leave. The name of "super agent" is not a big deal. In the transfer market, their news is very well-informed.

Why do you say that? Because the transfers of their players are not single, but are related to the possible transfers of many players. For example, why are many French media hyping up the news of Zhang Yang joining AC Milan? The biggest incentive is that AC Milan's leading scorer Shepchenko transferred to Chelsea, and AC Milan has a free of a main striker. This main shooter can be either Girardino officially ascends or a newly introduced player.

Moreover, Ribery is Zhang Yang's friend in Marseille and an important part of the Marseille front trident. Once Ribery decides to transfer and leave Marseille, this will undoubtedly affect Zhang Yang's future decision. This is not a matter of public or private relationships, but a work, but because if Ribery leaves, Marseille's offense in the new season will definitely be affected. In addition, if Ribery's newly introduced players are not as strong and fame as Ribery after the transfer, it means that Marseille's ambition is insufficient, and Zhang Yang must carefully consider whether he should continue to stay in Marseille.

Therefore, things in the transfer market are not isolated, and it is normal for Mendes to pay attention to Ribery's affairs.

※※※※※※※※※※

Zhang Yang was just surprised, but he didn't feel anything unexpected.

Ribery performed well in the just-passed 2005/2006 season, scoring 12 goals and assisting 15 goals in the season. This is already a very good report card for this midfielder.

In addition, although many wealthy families pay attention to Zhang Yang, there are different questions about whether Zhang Yang, a young man who has only played professional games for one season, can continue his good goal status in the new season. This is Ribery's fourth professional season, Ribery's second season in Marseille. In the 2004/2005 season, Ribery was the best player in the Marseille team. Therefore, Ribery has proved his continuity of his state and proved his strength.

It is understandable that the "Scar Man" is favored by other giants outside France. Such a midfielder, a 23-year-old French international, has great strength and a bright future.

Therefore, before the World Cup, rumors about Ribery's transfer began. Now, the rumor is that the teams close to Ribery are Manchester United and Lyon, and Lyon is a benchmark ahead of Manchester United, because Ribery does not seem to have plans to leave France.

As for Ribery's value, it is now estimated at 8 million euros, which is not a high price. However, as long as Ribery can perform well in the World Cup, once he transfers, his value will definitely be more than 8 million.

However, at this time, Marseille Club Chairman Diouf spoke out. Before the opening of the World Cup, Marseille Club Chairman Diouf talked about the team's preparations and ambitions for next season in an interview, saying that Zhang Yang, Nasri and Ribery are the guarantee for the team to realize their ambitions.

Just as Zhang Yang was 'vacation' and training at home, the 2006 German World Cup kicked off, and he watched the group stage in front of the TV.

The opening match was played between the hosts Germany and Costa Rica. The opening match was very difficult to play. The opening matches of previous major competitions ended with small scores, and many even tied.

Zhang Yang is still looking forward to this game for the German team. In the eyes of this young man, the German team head coach Klinsmann, who boldly uses new players, insists on offensive football, pursues midfield ground control and transition. This is a typical reformer for German football. Such a German team will definitely not be conservative in their game.

Sure enough, the final score of this game was four to two, and the German team won a big victory. In the game, the German team's midfield and frontcourt was refreshing. The young people dared to penetrate the ground and could not see the rushing from the midfield at all. This was the most valuable improvement of the German team compared with previous years. The performance of the midfield and frontcourt players shone brightly.

The 2006fifa World Cup Organizing Committee also called out, claiming that the German team had a good start for this World Cup.

※※※※※※※※※※

In group matches, Zhang Yang does not watch every game, but chooses to watch them. As a player, watching football is not only from the perspective of fans, but also with a learning attitude. Those players who perform well, what are their strengths and what are their characteristics? In addition, for young people like Zhang Yang, the outstanding performance of those big-name defensive players in the game will also bring them a lot of ideas. Let them think.

After the group stage, the biggest feeling that Zhang Yang gave was that the biggest upset in this World Cup was that there was no upset. After the group stage, all the strong teams qualified smoothly, and almost all seed teams won quite easily.

Compared with the "Korea and Japan World Cup" four years ago, South Korea reached the semi-finals and Japan reached the semi-finals of 16, the performance of the Asian team in this World Cup can only be described as "tragic". All the Asian top four were sacrificed, and only Australia, a player who just announced his immigration to Asia, is still struggling to support it. Compared with the infinite scenery of the Asian team in the World Cup held in South Korea and Japan four years ago, this World Cup was ravaged by other continents and the great powers, which can be called a great shame for Asian football!

Maybe everything has been arranged silently. On June 22, 2002, South Korea relied on two "misjudgments" by the referee at Daqiu Stadium to kill Spain's two originally effective goals, reaching the semi-finals of the World Cup. Four years later, on June 23, 2006, South Korea was wiped out by Switzerland 2:0 at the Hannover Stadium in Germany. The Koreans were extremely angry at Switzerland's second goal. They thought it was an offside goal, and they also tasted the "black whistle".

The African team, which has always been very sharp, has become the green leaves of the World Cup this time. The five African teams (Côte d'Ivoire, Angola, Ghana, Togo and Tunisia) have only 1 win and 1 loss to qualify. "Crow Mouth" Pele's prediction is still as accurate as in the past! Pele once predicted that African teams would reach the finals in this World Cup. Therefore, the failure of the African Legion, the largest (five African teams) in history, is understandable.

However, if we have to find a team that is most frustrated, it must be Serbia. The Serbia, which only conceded one goal in 10 European qualifiers, was highly expected before the game, but their performance in the World Cup group stage was unsatisfactory. They lost 10 goals in three games, and they were even scored 6:0 in the match against Argentina. They were eliminated early after only two rounds of the group stage. This is the first time that the Serbia team participated in the World Championship with the "collective title" of "Serbia". Before the World Cup, Serbia and Montenegro had a tendency to split into two countries again. It is said that Montenegro had a total of "Serbia".

The country is ready to declare its separation from Serbia and Montenegro national community to become a country. The country is separated and football is also separated. The Serbian Football Association will participate in various activities of FIFA operation as the successor of the Serbian Football Association, and the Montenegro Football Association will reapply to join UEFA. However, under such circumstances, the Serbian Football Association decided to still compete in the German World Cup football match in the name of the Serbian national team. Fans also have high hopes for the special teams in this special period of "Serbian" but to their disappointment, the last Serbian national team put a shameful end to the history of Serbian football.

Of course, the wives of each team are undoubtedly the most beautiful scenery on the court. At some point, they are even more eye-catching than their other half of the football on the court. Among all the wives, the wives of England are undoubtedly the craziest. In order to support their husbands or boyfriends, they even fought with German fans in the bar.

Because of his teammates and friend Ribery, Zhang Yang is still very concerned about the performance of the French team and Ribery.

In a sense, Ribery and Zhang Yang are the same type of people. Both are from amateur players and are not professionals. They have been discriminated against and coldly treated. This is also an important reason why the two have a mutual appreciation.

On June 12, Ribery's name appeared on the French team's first game against Switzerland. For Zhang Yang, he was not surprised at all.

In fact, Chinese fans know that Zhang Yang has several good friends in the Marseille team and is also blessed by him. Ribery and Nasri have a group of fans in China. In addition, Yasioi and Luis are also known to many Chinese fans. Among these people, only Ribery has the opportunity to participate in the World Cup, so fans who are not good at Zhang Yang are also cheering for Ribery.

This is Ribery's first competition experience.

"Scar Man" played all three games in the group stage, and none of them missed, and the time to play was gradually increasing.

In the group stage, Ribery showed weaknesses of lack of self-confidence and lack of ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal. In just over 100 minutes of the World Cup participation, Ribery didn't shoot many times, and he didn't shoot directly to the goal. He also received some doubts from the media.

Especially in the match against Togo team, two goals were wasted, which made some media criticize Ribery because Ribery was selected for the national team after squeezing Jiuli out of him. Therefore, some media and fans who support Jiuli were disliked by Ribery.

Some Chinese fans began to worry, fearing that the pressure on Ribe would be affected.

Zhang Yang, who is far away in China, is not worried about Ribery at all. He can get out of the amateur league and have tasted the dilemma of not being able to afford rent. He persisted until now. Nothing can stop Ribery and can affect Ribery, just like nothing can stop Zhang Yang from moving forward, because Zhang Yang has also experienced these hardships. They will cherish the opportunities they have obtained. No matter how much suffering they suffer, they are not afraid and insist on moving forward.
