Four Hundred and Ninety Fight for Four Billion People!
In recent years, in Asia, especially in East Asia, Japanese and South Korean players and fans have looked down on China.
From the original fear of Korea, now there is a fear of Japan. The gap between the national football team and its two neighbors on the field is widening, and it has even gradually fallen to the third-rate level in Asia. Even some weak teams that are usually looked down upon can be bullied. a handful.
On the contrary, Japan and South Korea have a thriving football career.
Manchester United player Park Ji-sung is regarded as the pride of Korean football.
After achieving great success in Eindhoven, he switched to the Premier League giants Manchester United, which made Park Ji-sung's career to a higher level. He is already the number one star of Asian players studying abroad.
But since 2006, a young Chinese coach named Gao Shen was born, miraculously coached Real Madrid, and miraculously led the team to win the double crown, the situation suddenly changed.
That's the Champions League and La Liga double!
As a result, Gao Shen became the first legend in the history of Asian football to win the Champions League.
Although he is not a player, everyone knows that it is harder for a manager to succeed than a player.
Therefore, Gao Shen's achievements in Real Madrid have caused a sensation in Asian football, and even the AFC is proud of it.
Although Park Ji-sung won the Champions League with Manchester United in 2008, he can only become the second in Asian history.
At best, he can only say that he is the first Asian player to win the Champions League.
This honor has made domestic fans and media talk about it.
There is no way, the national football team can't compete with Japan and South Korea on the court, and Gao Shen's coaching in Europe has become the pride of the fans.
Gao Shen is also very competitive. After leaving Real Madrid, under the circumstances that many media looked down upon him, he won consecutive championships in Naples as a newly promoted horse, creating a legendary history.
This season, he led Naples to stand out from the death group of Real Madrid, Bayern and Zenit. He defeated Arsenal and Chelsea in the knockout rounds and won a lot of applause.
In the semi-finals, Gao Shen and his Naples met Park Ji-sung and his Manchester United team.
Long before the game, fans and media in China and South Korea were building momentum one after another. Both sides supported their compatriots,
There was even a scolding war on the Internet, and there was a feeling that the key battle in Europe should be echoed in distant Asia.
This battle also attracted the attention of countless fans in Asia and set a record for ratings.
The last fifteen minutes determined the outcome of the entire game.
Both sides scored one goal each, but Manchester United in the away game has a slight advantage by virtue of the away goal advantage.
For a while, Korean fans and the media collectively went up in arms.
Although this goal has nothing to do with Park Ji-sung, even after he was substituted, Berbatov who replaced him assisted Cristiano Ronaldo to score, theoretically it is very unfavorable to Park Ji-sung.
But it doesn't matter, as long as Manchester United has the advantage.
Besides, I want to boast, but I'm afraid I can't find the angle?
The South Korean media have said that Manchester United was able to break the deadlock not long after the substitution came on the field. It was because Park Ji-sung exhausted Naples left-back Vargas with his spare no effort to run in the previous hour. It made the Peruvian defender fail to keep up with Ronaldo in time, and this was the reason for the single-handed and goal.
"Otherwise, how to explain the 16-foot single before this season, Ronaldo didn't score, but this time he scored?"
This is the importance of Park Ji-sung!
"He has become Ferguson's core player in fighting tough battles and key battles!"
The South Korean media is even more popular for Park Ji-sung and Manchester United, believing that South Korean stars are not only fighting for themselves in the Premier League, they are fighting for Korean fans, and they are even fighting for Asian fans.
"Among the four billion Asians, he will enter the Champions League final for the second time!"
...
The Chinese media and fans basically disagree with the views of Korean fans and media.
First of all, they retorted that Park Ji-sung is not as important as the South Korean media touted, and Gao Shen is the veritable soul core of Naples. He brought out the entire team, even Guardiola and Zidane. He worked as an assistant for Gao Shen, which shows Gao Shen's status in European football.
As for who can reach the Champions League final, isn't there a second round?
"Gao Shen said after the game that his away record in the Premier League has maintained a perfect record so far, so he has the confidence to make a comeback at Old Trafford!"
The implication is that Ferguson and Manchester United haven't dared to say that they are sure of winning, but you are ahead of schedule.
Finally, the domestic media and fans do not think that Park Ji-sung is qualified to represent 4 billion Asian fans.
"It doesn't count if you say it, you have to listen to what people outside have to say."
"Just a while ago, Emirates Airline from the Middle East announced that it had signed Gao Shen as its global image spokesperson. Although the sponsorship fee was not announced to the public, the media revealed that the after-tax sponsorship fee exceeds five million euros per year. Just this point, look at the world , no player can do it."
"If Emirates' sponsorship is not enough, then look at Forbes' previous rankings of Asian sports figures. Gao Shen ranked first with an absolute advantage, and is known as the most influential figure in Asian sports."
The domestic media and fans have listed a lot of evidence to prove that Gao Shen is the most influential figure in Asian football in Europe. As for Park Ji-sung, he has no such weight at all.
...
The two sides of the line are saying that the public is right, and the wife is saying that the woman is right, and they are arguing.
When Su Qing introduced this matter to Gao Shen on the phone, Gao Shen was also very surprised.
He also didn't expect that a game he played in Europe would trigger such an earthquake in East Asia.
But he felt a little more proud in his heart.
He never thought that one day he would become the pride of domestic media and fans.
Although it was thousands of miles away, Su Qing could hear his pressure, so she jokingly said: "You just treat me like a tree hole. If there is any pressure, any grievances and unwillingness, just say whatever you want, just vent your depression at that time That's fine too."
In fact, there is no grievance or unwillingness in Gao Shen, it is more pressure.
The twenty or thirty players in the team, plus dozens of employees and staff, as well as dozens of administrative staff at the club headquarters, all worked hard for a season, trembling, and walking on thin ice to get to where we are today.
All hopes are placed in Gao Shen's hands.
This kind of pressure is really not ordinary, it is very big!
Facing the "tree hole" with high depth, he jokingly said: "This is the biggest deal I have ever traded in my life!"
Who said no?
One game costs more than 10 million euros, converted into RMB, that is more than 100 million.
Especially after the first leg.
After the game, Gao Shen recalled that the team formation in the first round was a bit conservative, so he always believed that the draw was his own responsibility and problem.
Ferguson put a lot of pressure on him.
But after the first round of the game, coupled with the in-depth contact after the game, he gradually began to break the idol fantasy of Ferguson, and he began to realize that Ferguson is actually a bad old man.
Moreover, Ferguson's formation and on-the-spot command in the first round were far less powerful and miraculous than he imagined. As Carlo said, no matter how miraculous or powerful the head coach is, he will lose.
Ferguson is no exception.
Now, Gao Shen's biggest pressure comes from the second round of the game.
Conceding an away goal in the first leg, Napoli had to score in the second leg.
But in addition to scoring, it is necessary to prevent Manchester United from scoring goals, especially the counterattacks of Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney.
This is a test of skill, and it is also a huge test for the entire Naples team.
Su Qing is not a qualified tree hole. Although she patiently listened to his complaints for a long time, she couldn't hold back in the end and told him something that happened not long ago.
One of her very high-level leaders is very well-known in China, often seen on the news, and said something.
"Most of the regrets in life come from the word if."
"If I worked hard and studied hard back then; if I didn't choose XX University, but chose another one; if I didn't choose XX major, but chose a certain major; if I didn't go to XX company, but went to another company; If I hadn't broken up with XX back then..."
"People always attribute their current setbacks and regrets to the choices they made in the past. They always mistakenly think that if they can go back in time and make another choice again, their lives will become more successful."
"As everyone knows, the path chosen by another choice is not necessarily better and brighter than the current path, but it may be more difficult, more painful, and full of more failures."
"The cruelty of life is that many times we think we can choose right or wrong, but in fact, we have no choice."
"We are just choosing between one wrong path and another even more wrong path."
"The tragedy is that we choose the right one, but we always think we have chosen the wrong one."
This speech was originally about some major domestic policies and changes, but Su Qing felt that it was full of philosophy.
After listening to Gao Shen, he was also deeply moved.
Especially yesterday, he had just had an in-depth conversation with Ferguson. Some of what the old man said was somewhat similar to what Su Qing said now.
Gao Shen has really made up his mind now!
"By the way, have you gone to apply for a visa?" Gao Shen asked suddenly on the phone.
Su Qing froze for a moment, then replied: "Not yet."
"Then hurry up and find time to do it, time is tight." Gao Shen urged.
"And my parents, uncles and aunts, when the time comes, you all come together and play for a few days before going to the Champions League final!"
Su Qing hummed on the phone, which was her agreement.
In fact, she's not sure if she'll be able to take time off because her department is so busy.
However, she knew that now that Gao Shen had regained her confidence, her biggest wish was that she and her family could go to Europe to watch him play, so she couldn't spoil his interest no matter what, and agreed first before thinking of a way.
"At that time, I will give you a gift!" Gao Shen said mysteriously.
This is something he has carefully prepared for half a year.
The home game of the first round was one-on-one, which actually forced Gao Shen to have no way out.
In any case, he must win this battle at Old Trafford!
