Chapter 820 The Greatest Final
The 2017-2018 season began in such a ** confrontation.∽↗
Afterwards, Real Madrid continued to win the Super Cup 1:0 in the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup, winning the Super Cup championship 5:1 in total, winning their first championship in the new season.
Over the years, the confrontation between Real Madrid and Barcelona will become a history. From the Duo of the Western Premier League that year, to the three-legged division of Atletico Madrid, to the current unique appearance.
The passionate national derby in the past is no longer so exciting today, because Real Madrid's strength is significantly higher than Barcelona. In front of this Real Madrid, perhaps only Manchester City can challenge them.
Then, the La Liga opened immediately. Although the second round of the Super Cup against Barcelona only won a 1-0 victory, Real Madrid exposed its truly cruel side when they first played against strong rival Sevilla at home, 4-0 to destroy them.
You know, Sevilla has been a very strong team in recent years. Although they failed to pose a threat to the top three in La Liga, they have rarely seen any opponents in Europe and won three of the UEFA Champions League champions. But even such opponents are so vulnerable in front of Real Madrid.
Real Madrid's suffocating defense made Sevilla helpless, and its unsolved offense made the opponent unable to resist.
It's not surprising that the score is 4:0.
In line with Real Madrid, another Premier League team was slaughtered by Manchester City in the Premier League. Although Southampton is not a strong team, they used all their strength in the game and could not stop Messi and their progress. Although the score of 5:0 is not as high as the Community Shield Cup, it is enough to make the entire Premier League frightened. The season has just begun. But everyone can no longer see the hope of the championship. Manchester City declared that the championship is their treasure in just one or two games.
What's even more terrifying is that Messi, Ronaldo and Suarez once again scored a goal at the same time, and the performance of the three people was terrifyingly stable!
In the second round, they met the giant Arsenal again, and Arsenal was also slaughtered by a large score. If it could be said to be an accident once or twice, but it was like this three consecutive times, it means that this team must be very terrible.
Real Madrid was not behind, and almost scored the score in double digits in the away game against Sporting Gijon. Benzema and Aguero both scored hat tricks, while Morata, who came on as a substitute, scored twice, and Liu Hao contributed five assists!
Ass wrote an article to exclaim: "Real Madrid and Manchester City are in the air, and even the players are competing in secret. Although Liu Hao does not participate in goals in the league, he contributed six assists in two games, which is equivalent to the number of assists in many midfielders in a season. He also put Benzema and Aguero in the first place in the league scorer list at the same time. Moreover, in the ranking of the European Golden Boot Awards, they both have the same number of goals as Messi and Ronaldo, from players to the team. They all have a competitive relationship. I believe such competition will be like this until the end of the season."
The fans of the two clubs are the happiest, and then the national team's game day is here. Whether in Europe or Asia, they are still striving to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
At this time, most European teams have already qualified, and at least a few teams are still fighting, such as Czech Republic and Denmark. However, the Asian World Cup qualifiers are in full swing, and no team can qualify. The previous top ten games only played the first two games. There will be no teams that can qualify in the past two weeks. There will definitely be two more games to qualify. It will definitely be possible to wait until the end of December.
The Chinese team naturally has great hope of getting the desired results by that time. At the end of September, under the leadership of Mourinho, the Chinese team won two victories like autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves without any suspense. Then the Chinese team still led Australia, which was second, and six points ahead of the third place. By December, they were indeed likely to qualify in advance.
In the Champions League, Real Madrid and Manchester City still have no opponents that can stop their progress. Both the club and the players' competitive landscape have not changed. They are the top of their respective scoreboards. On the scorer list, those players are still at the forefront, just one more or one less.
This situation lasted until early December, and it had changed slightly. The devil schedule in the Premier League has arrived. Manchester City has begun to be tired when fighting on multiple fronts. The players' condition has somewhat declined, but Real Madrid is still attacking strongly. The goal momentum of Aguero and Benzema has not weakened, and they have surpassed Messi and Ronaldo and 4 and 3 goals, and they are also leading by 2 goals in the Champions League.
Then, Messi chose to retreat and gave the goal to Ronaldo and Suarez, which was the same as he had done in Barcelona before. It seemed that they didn't want to lose to Liu Hao and the others at this level.
Liu Hao did not score many goals this season. In many games, the team has determined its leading advantage early. Liu Hao usually focuses on assists. In more than three months, his assists have reached 20, which is unimaginable for other players. It is precisely because of this that his teammates can get more nanny-style goals.
Both teams in the Champions League qualify two rounds ahead of schedule, ensuring their qualification to advance to the Champions League quarterfinals.
At this time, Liu Hao even had time to go to Japan.
Because this year's Club World Cup is held in Tokyo, Juventus, as the Champions League champion last season, participated in this event on behalf of Europe. If Liu Hao is still in Juventus, he can also participate with the team. Now, the only champion he has never been involved in can only wait until next year to have a chance, provided that he can win the Champions League with the team and continue to stay in the team.
Juventus only needs to play two games in the Club World Cup. In the semi-finals, Juventus' opponent was Santos from America, with Juventus winning 1:0.
What Liu Hao did not expect was that Guangzhou Evergrande, who represented Asia, finally broke through himself and advanced to the finals for the first time. It was his little brother Ling Zhenbang who made contributions to the team. His winning goal allowed Evergrande to create history and can compete with Juventus for the championship of this Toyota Cup.
But no one is optimistic about Guangzhou Evergrande, where Juventus' strength lies. Juventus has not won the Toyota Cup championship in so many years, so they cannot let this championship fall.
However, the process of the game was shocking. The 0:0 score continued until the last moment, and Marcisio finally won the Toyota Cup championship with great difficulty.
This is also the result that Liu Hao wants. Although he is no longer in Juventus, he still hopes to have a successful championship journey.
Then, the World Cup qualifiers came again, and when the La Liga entered the winter break, Liu Hao and the Chinese team flew to Bahrain. After killing Bahrain 2:0 away, the Chinese team was in sight. Just one game was short of qualifying, and the Chinese team could qualify two rounds in advance!
Just one game is short!
The whole of China is excited about it.
In the past World Cup journey, we heard too much - there is not much time left for the Chinese team, the Chinese team suffered three minutes of black, the Chinese team's dream was broken in the World Cup, and the Chinese team was eliminated and other painful memories.
But this time, Chinese fans are the happiest. They don’t need to wait until the last round, they don’t need to look at other people’s faces. They don’t need to suffer in the game.
They have reason to believe that in home games, the Chinese team can win the game calmly and then enter the 2018 World Cup.
On this day, Shenyang Wulihe Stadium was full of seats, as if it was back to the day when it qualified in 2001.
No more fear, no more fear.
In such a major game, Mourinho made a pretty bold decision and pressed Liu Hao on the bench.
Many people may not understand why Mourinho did this, this is the most important game that has to do with the Chinese team qualifying!
But, just as Mourinho said to Liu Hao in the locker room. One day, you should also get used to sitting on the bench to watch the Chinese team compete. The Chinese team is not the Chinese team with you, Liu Hao, but the Chinese team is a team. Everyone should devote all their efforts to it and fight to the end!
In this game, the Chinese team must win the game without Liu Hao appearing!
Mourinho believes that even without Liu Hao’s support, the Chinese team must win this game, and the Chinese team must have such confidence!
"Mr. Mourinho's idea is actually very simple. He wants to go to Liu Haohua. The Chinese team must win the UAE with its regular strength so that he can have the confidence to play in the World Cup. Anyway, there are two games left in the next one, and it is actually not stressful if he can't win this game. Of course, Liu Hao will definitely be anxious when sitting on the bench at this time. After all, this is a game that has been recorded in the history of Chinese football!"
Everyone was really thinking too much, but without Liu Hao, the performance of the Chinese team did not disappoint anyone.
The same is true for no blood. The Chinese team scored one goal in the first and second half, which did not allow the UAE to disturb the Chinese team's dream of entering the World Cup!
In this way, the Chinese team received tickets to the 2018 World Cup two rounds ahead of schedule!
On December 28, all Chinese fans were celebrating this historic moment. The Chinese team once again reached the World Cup finals after 2002.
The Chinese team became the first Asian team to reach the World Cup finals, and the other three and a half places may not be announced until the last moment.
At this time, the Chinese team may have become a truly strong team in the eyes of many people...
Under the wind of qualifying for the World Cup, the 2018 World Golden Globe Awards Ceremony is also coming.
Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez, Neymar and Liu Hao are the players who entered the last five, but the last one is still Liu Hao. Liu Hao won the Italian League One, Italian Cup, Spanish Super Cup, European Champions League, and is the European assist champion in 2016-2017. These honors are not available to other players. Their existence is just to highlight Liu Hao's greatness.
At the award ceremony on January 8, Liu Hao became the final protagonist. In the past, the camera camera always liked to capture the expressions on the faces of each candidate, but now everyone's expressions are actually the same. Only those who feel uncomfortable in their hearts will show stiff and embarrassing expressions, but now there is no! They are convinced!
Liu Hao won the third World Golden Globe Award in his life, which is more important than the European Golden Globe Award he won last summer vacation, because the World Golden Globe Award is the highest honor for a player. There are only a handful of players who can win the Three Realms Golden Globe Award. Messi and Ronaldo won the most, with four respectively. There are only two of them in front of Liu Hao!
"Liu, who comes from the East, continues his mysterious football journey. His arrival is not to disturb the world of football, but to surpass the peerless genius and create a new history. We couldn't believe it before. Now we will not doubt how much will a player who is about to turn 34 years old?" French Football sighed, "Since we founded this magazine, we have seen countless football geniuses create unparalleled miracles, but no player is as full of eternal worship as Liu!"
"French Football" editor continued to write: "I have seen almost all the great players playing football in my life. Some of them can be called gods, kings of football, superstars, etc., but if I were asked to use one word to describe Liu Hao? I will really not find a suitable word to describe it for a while."
"He is unparalleled, but he is completely different from others."
"He doesn't seem to know football very much, but he kicked football to the extreme."
"He is always able to send the ball into the goal and win the final victory, no matter who his opponent is."
"Oh, maybe he is the God of football. When everyone is trying their best and trying every means to win, he just needs to lift his feet with a calm and relaxed attitude."
"He is the God of Football."
In this way, the football god led his Real Madrid, once again won the La Liga title, the King's Cup, and made an appointment with Manchester City to meet at the Emirates Stadium.
The 2017-2018 European Champions League final was held where Liu Hao's European dream began.
It was a perfect season, from the beginning to the end.
The two most powerful teams in Europe have agreed to fight to the finals from the beginning of the season, and then they have to decide who is the most powerful king in the world and which club is the most powerful club.
