Long live the King of Balls

Chapter 007 The Great Killer of the Football Association

On July 19, the day after Macleley signed the contract with Manchester City, Zhang Yang met the French veteran at the Manchester City training base.

He and Makelele are also 'old acquaintances'. In the second season of Marseille, Marseille met Chelsea in the eighth quarter-final of the Champions League in the 2006/2007 season. Although Marseille was eventually eliminated by Chelsea, Zhang Yang's hat trick in the game shocked Europe.

Zhang Yang's ability in the two rounds shocked the whole of Europe, and also made Mourinho, who once didn't pay much attention to Zhang Yang, look at him differently. Chelsea's midfield barrier, Makelele, is naturally impressed by Zhang Yang. Similarly, Zhang Yang is also impressed by Makelele. The defensive ability of the French veteran still brings a lot of trouble to Zhang Yang. Otherwise, Zhang Yang may score more goals. In that case, it is hard to say who will die in that game.

In a sense, the considerable salary provided by Manchester City is the biggest reason for attracting Maclelei to join. However, it is undeniable that Manchester City spent s.5 million pounds to introduce Zhang Yang. This kind of courage to "do great things" is also one of the reasons why Maclelei chose Manchester City.

"Hi, Claude, welcome."

"Haha, Zhang, I didn't expect that we could become teammates." Macclere also seems to be in a good mood.

Zhang Yang and Macleley said hello, and the two chatted happily.

Macleley is indeed a little emotional. The man in front of him, two or three years ago, was just a newcomer in the football world. Now he is one of the best scorers in football, and he is also the most valuable player in the football world. His value is even twice that of Zidane.

Of course, as he said, he didn't expect that he would become a teammate with Zhang Yang one day, and he would become a teammate in Manchester City.

Zhang Yang's French is quite good, and there are no communication problems between him and Macrelei. Of course, MacLei's English is also quite good, but for Zhang Yang, his English is not as fluent as his French.

Mark, the head coach of Manchester City on the sidelines. Hughes was also very happy to see that Zhang Yang and Macleley talked happily. In his tactical blueprint, Zhang Yang is the absolute offensive core of the team. Then Maclelele, the French veteran, will be the core of the team in the second half. Even if these two people will determine Manchester City's performance in the new season, it is not an exaggeration.

On July 20, Manchester City played its first warm-up match after training for the new season. The opponent is the Championship team Birmingham.

Birmingham was the penultimate in the Premier League last season and was relegated to the Championship.

The opponent is not strong, and it is just a warm-up match. The importance of this game is not worth mentioning. However, the Manchester Municipal Stadium, which can accommodate more than 40,000 teams, came nearly 40,000 fans to watch the game.

They all come to see Zhang Yang play football. If Zhang Yang plays, this will be the first time for Zhang Yang to play in a Manchester City jersey.

In the final game, Manchester City beat Birmingham 1-0 at home. Elano's corner kick was scored by Compani. The Belgian central defender who had just joined the team had a good start.

Zhang Yang came on as a substitute in the 83rd minute of the game.

Although it was only a substitute, and the game could be said to be 'garbage time', there were huge cheers from the whole court.

In the stands of the Manchester City Stadium, there were banners expressing their love for publicity, and all the fans stood up and applauded.

In the live broadcast, he also shouted Zhang Yang's name three times in a row. With each of his shouts, 40,000 fans shouted together!

Zhang Yang can't help but be moved. This stadium is not as big as Milan's San Siro Stadium, or even as Marseille's Verrodom Stadium. However, here, Zhang Yang feels the love of all the fans for him. This is only his first game for the team, and he is also a substitute, but everyone is so impressive. It's time to shout out their love!

Zhang Yang ran into the court and waved to the stands. Between the waves, the whole court made an explosive sound.

"In the eight minutes of the substitute, Zhang Yang touched the ball seven times, passed the ball three times, completed four passes, and had two shots. In addition, a very threatening shot after three consecutive shots was bravely saved by Birmingham's goalkeeper. Manchester City fans must hate the Birmingham goalkeeper, because he blocked Zhang Yang's first goal in Manchester City! After the game, Zhang Yang came to the sidelines to thank the fans for their support. The whole stadium was cheering, and the scene even made people think that they had won a very great victory... The whole Manchester City was crazy about Zhang Yang, although he really didn't have anything to bring to the team. We can fully imagine that if the new season After the beginning, Zhang Yang can have an excellent performance. How happy and excited these fans will be in this team and this stadium." - "Zhang Yang's debut, 'Zhang Yang' continues to heat up."

After the game, The Times used a page to introduce Zhang Yang's debut in Manchester City. You know, Zhang Yang was just a substitute for eight minutes, and the media paid so much attention to it. Now it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole English football world is paying attention to publicity.

"Zhang Yang just played for Manchester City for eight minutes as a substitute, but this is enough to make Manchester City fans talk about it for eight days, or even longer." - ESPN

After Manchester City played this warm-up with Birmingham, their second warm-up match was three days later against a local regional league team in Manchester.

The game was not open to the fans. Manchester City beat the opponent 1-0. Zhang Yang started the game. He scored a hat-trick in the first half of the game and was replaced at halftime.

Although the opponent's strength is too low, the media and fans still report on the game. The Daily Mirror even used the title of "the first Manchester City hat show" on the front page. I don't know what an important game it is.

However, what disappointed Manchester City fans was that there was no video of the game in this game, and they did not have the opportunity to see Zhang Yang scoring a goal in the Manchester City jersey.

In an interview with the media, Zhang Yang was indifferent to the media's hype, because he also knew that such a warm-up match did not mean anything, and the opponent's strength was too weak.

"This is not a formal game. There is nothing to say, so I don't think this is my first goal for Manchester City." Zhang Yang said so.

Of course, fans don't think so. Although it is not a formal game, this is the first goal scored by Zhang Yang in Manchester City's No. 10 jersey. The first time he scored a hat-trick is also a memorable moment.

After two warm-up games, Manchester City left England and their destination was China.

On July 29, Manchester City will play a warm-up match with the Chinese men's Olympic football team in Beijing. Well, it's the Chinese Olympic team.

Speaking of which, this game was decided a long time ago. At that time, the boss of Manchester City was the former Prime Minister of Thailand, Mr.

Now, although Manchester City has changed its boss, the game has not been cancelled. At that time, it signed a commercial contract. Moreover, Manchester City is renewing the contract with the team's Chinese veteran Sun Jihai. In addition, the most important thing is that the team introduced the most popular football star in China, which is even more for promotion. The music department is very interested in the Asian market, especially in China.

Manchester City is well prepared for this game and attaches great importance to it. The whole team, except for the injury number, has set off for China.

However, for the opponent of Manchester City, to be precise, for the Chinese Football Association, this long-determined game can be said to be a great embarrassment!

If it hadn't been for the fact that the two sides had signed the contract long ago, it would have been more troublesome to break the contract. In addition, the tickets for this game had been sold long ago, and the advertisements had been sold long ago. They really wanted to unilaterally propose to terminate the game.

The reason? Nothing else! Zhang Yang'er!

The Chinese Football Association did not expect that Zhang Yang would join Manchester City. Now it will play against the Chinese Olympic team as an opponent. Thinking of the turbulent calls in China to enter the national team and the Olympic team, as well as various criticisms and abuses against the Chinese Football Association, the Football Association can now be said to be an abnormal headache.

In addition, for the Chinese Olympic team, the warm-up match with Manchester City will be the last warm-up match between the Chinese Olympic team before the Olympic group match with New Zealand. After this match, they will usher in the first match of the Olympic men's football group match with New Zealand on August 7. .

The Chinese Olympic team, the New Zealand Olympic team, the Belgian Olympic team and the Brazilian Olympic team are in the same group. In this group, New Zealand is an absolute fish brisket in the eyes of the Chinese Football Association. They have long counted this three points. Of course, in New Zealand's eyes, the Chinese Olympic team is not a super fish brisket.

When the head coach of the New Zealand Olympic team talked about the Chinese Olympic team, he talked about how difficult it would be to play in this game. When asked why it was not easy to play, the head coach of the New Zealand Olympic team said most that China is the host, and the game with the host is the most difficult to play. After talking for a long time, China is the home court, which is what they are most worried about. As for anything else, New Zealand really doesn't care too much. I really don't know why the Chinese Football Association thinks that New Zealand is a fish team that can be held by the Chinese Olympic team.

After the national football team was eliminated from the 2010 South Africa World Cup Asian group stage, the national Olympic team has become the only face project of the Football Association. Naturally, they don't want to see any harm to this tightly protected giant panda.

The Football Association definitely wants to cancel the warm-up match with Manchester City, but on the one hand, it is the reason why they can't break the contract, and it is difficult for them to find a new warm-up match in such a hurry. It can be imagined how embarrassing the game with Manchester City will make the Chinese Football Association.

A player who has long been blacklisted by the Chinese Football Association and even the General Administration of Sports, and will never want to play for the country, a player who is an angry horse by the Chinese Football Association, and a player who dares to shoot at the Football Association in public. Such a terrible relationship with the Chinese Football Association is terrible, and the Football Association can't wait to get rid of it. The fast players have to play against the Chinese Olympic team in a business friendly match... Think about it and you will know what a big hype and saliva this will cause.

In fact, the Chinese Football Association's insistence on excluding Zhang Yang from national teams at all levels has long aroused extreme dissatisfaction among the media and fans.

Well, pay attention, it's extremely dissatisfied, not extremely incomprehensible.

Because it is hardly a secret about the contradiction between the Football Association and Zhang Yang, especially after Zhang Yang publicly expressed that the Football Association wanted him to apologize before giving him the opportunity to enter the national team to mock the Football Association, there was no possibility of easing the relationship between the two sides. Therefore, the media and fans also know that the Football Association can't let Zhang Yang enter the national Olympic team or the national team, but it is because they know this that they are even more angry!

Such an excellent player, with a wealth of £7, and a superstar with the highest value in football, why do you exclude him from the national team?! Why?! How dare you?!

Unsurprisingly, when the warm-up match between Manchester City and the Chinese Olympic team is approaching, all kinds of doubts and criticisms about the Chinese Football Association have also begun to become more and more lively.

"The criticisms made by the leaders of the Football Association and expelled him from any national team forever. To summarize the meaning to be expressed is nothing more than two words, organization and discipline. In fact, in a sport, especially collective sports, it is definitely inappropriate to put organizational discipline first. The criterion for judging whether football is good or not is whether football is good or not, then ideas, imagination, spirituality, etc., rather than whether the player has personality, can't have long hair, can't be tattooed, can't be strangely dressed. Different clothes, of course, by the way, even if our football players are all together, the ball still stinks.

In China's court, what we lack most is personalized players. Of course, the premise of personalized players is to play well enough, otherwise those personalities will become annoying things. However, it is estimated that there will be no such player under the leadership of our Football Association, because the current football system is like China's education system, which pays too much attention to all-round development and collective consciousness. Don't mention Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang is not an accident, because Zhang Yang is not cultivated under China's existing football system at all. He went abroad to find his football dream! If we had stayed in China, there would have been no superstar Zhang Yang now. Maybe there would be a small shopkeeper called Zhang Yang or something else.

In fact, like a team like the Chinese national team, I don't think it's time to pass the ball. Every time the player raises his feet, my mother knows what number is passed, not to mention our opponent... Well, I can imagine that when Zhang Yang comes to the national team, no one will pass the ball to him. Why? Who dares to make love to him?!

Zhang Yang is the first player in Chinese football to dare to stand up and play the face of the Football Association. This may be the reason why the Football Association can't tolerate publicity. However, in my opinion, being slapped in the face by one's own people is much more humiliating than losing." - Han Han, a well-known literary man in his He said indignantly in the blog.

This also represents a new round of criticism of the Chinese Football Association by the whole public opinion. Among them, there are some words that make the Football Association grit their teeth.

"If you don't enter the Chinese national team for a day, Chinese football will be dark!"

"Don't tell me that Zhang Yang has lost your face, so you don't give Zhang Yang a chance! By the way, do you still have face?! For the sake of a personal so-called fig leaf, shut out such a talented player! Do you really think other people are fools and can't see them? Without publicity, the prospect of the Chinese Olympic team in the Beijing Olympic Games will be bleak. Don't you believe it? Let's wait and see!"

"The registration of the national Olympic team has not been sent yet, so there is still time. This is the last redemption opportunity of the Football Association, that is, to recruit Zhang Yang into the national Olympic team. With Zhang Yang, it may not achieve the football association's daydream of entering the top four. However, at least, we can see the goal, at least, we can I'm looking forward to it, because it's a person who can bring us hope and a little warmth!"

All kinds of voices, behind the usual ridicule and criticism of the Football Association, there are the expectations of the fans, or the words they want to say most - if Zhang Yang does not enter the national Olympic team, the national Olympic team will definitely have no chance! Only when Zhang Yang enters the national Olympic team can the national Olympic team have hope!

In the face of the criticism of the media and the indignation of the fans, the Chinese Football Association chose to avoid it. In public, they only talked about the game itself and talked about the confidence and expectations of the Chinese Olympic team in this Olympic Games. However, for any topic about publicity, they chose to avoid it, not only that, The Football Association also informs reporters in advance of their relevant press conferences and other occasions. It is forbidden to ask any topic about publicity. Violators will be deprived of the right to report on the game of the Chinese Olympic team!

Well, the threat of the Football Association can be said to be a big killer. Although it is very sad for Chinese football, the fans are still concerned about the performance of the Chinese Olympic team in the Beijing Olympic Games. Although they may have guessed that the result will not be good, but they can't let it go! Fans pay attention, and the media naturally pay attention to it!

Now, the Football Association threatens like this, saying that if you don't obey, you won't be allowed to report, which is really useful!

So, at the relevant press conference of the Football Association, there are no questions about publicity for the time being, which also makes the leaders of the Football Association feel good. It's really the whole world is clean.

In such a disturbance, the Manchester City players arrived at Capital International Airport. Zhang Yang and his clubmates came.

Mr. s. qity-five million pounds returned to China.
