February 24, Juventus Stadium, Turin, Italy.

Flying back to the icy and snowy Beijing in the hot summer, and then to the cold Europe, Gao Han wrapped himself in a snowman, wearing a thick wool coat, a fluffy scarf, and a hat. He sat in the stands of the visiting team fans following the team. It was really not easy to be recognized.

The competition has entered a fast pace from the beginning, and Chinatown has been in very good shape recently.

Just three minutes into the game, Chinatown took the lead in breaking Juventus' goal.

It was a cooperation from the left side of the frontcourt. After Alex Sandro stepped forward and attacked to the frontcourt, he stopped the ball to Hazard.

The Belgian took the ball and shook it continuously, attracting the double-team of two defensive players, and suddenly made the ball to Isco who was inserted into the back, while the Spaniard dribbled the ball and forced it to pass it to the goal.

Pogba, who was also inserted in the back row, was tall and long, and shot first and sent the ball into the goal guarded by Buffon.

This goal completely broke the deadlock on the court.

After that, Chinatown firmly controlled the ball, while Juventus stopped Chinatown through more aggressive play. In the first half alone, Juventus created sixteen fouls, setting the highest record for the first half of the Champions League this season, but also effectively curbing Chinatown's offense.

But in the second half, after Juventus' physical fitness declined slightly, Chinatown began to gain continuous opportunities to start, but Juventus' goalkeeper Buffon performed quite bravely and repeatedly resolved Chinatown's must-have goals.

In the 55th minute, Chinatown got another chance.

After Hazard got the ball from the left, he headed to the middle side and cooperated with Isco and Firmino for a continuous pass, allowing Hazard to get the ball from the right side of the penalty area, and after breaking into the penalty area, he directly shot.

Buffon's attention has always been on Hazard, and he reacted quickly and flew to block the ball. However, after the ball rebounded back to the penalty area, Firmino picked up a bargain in front of the goal and calmly pushed the ball to hit, 2-0.

After scoring two goals in a row, Chinatown's offensive relaxed a bit, while Juventus counterattacked.

But in the 68th minute, Chinatown launched a counterattack, and Ales Sandro dribbled the ball from the left and rushed into the left side of the penalty area to make a cross. Griezmann headed the ball seven meters in front of the goal, and further expanded the score.

The entire Juventus stadium was only cheering from Chinatown fans.

Three to zero, Chinatown showed a better strength than Juventus.

When facing Chinatown, the old woman could almost be said to be powerless to fight back and was defeated like a mountain.

"Serie A is down!"

Gao Han put his hands in the warm pocket of the wool coat, but his heart shook his head and sighed with sigh.

The decline of Serie A should have started with the phone door, and then Inter Milan dominated the world. However, in recent years, with the depression of Italy's economic environment, the overall decline of the Serie A League has become increasingly obvious.

Over the years, Inter Milan has been like a giant in Italy, especially after the new stadium was completed, the entire club's financial resources and team competitiveness were ahead of other competitors, including Juventus.

But even Inter Milan is no longer as competitive as in the European League a few years ago, with the highest level of the Champions League quarter-finals.

"Yes, Juventus' lineup may still shake Inter Milan in the Serie A, but it is difficult to have enough competitiveness in the Champions League. I heard that I would poach Marcisio from Inter Milan, but the Nerazzurri refused to let go. Benitez's team's lead in Serie A this season is still very obvious." Cantalero said.

Gao Han laid a solid foundation for Inter Milan back then, not only the first team lineup, but also the youth training camp.

Over the years, the Nerazzurri has relied on selling the lineup left by Gao Han that year to gain a new stadium. The players such as Bonucci, Hamsik and Marcisio left by Gao Han are still the pillars of this team. This season, Miranda and Pelle were dug from Chinatown, and their overall strength has steadily improved.

Judging from the current situation, Inter Milan is still the banner of the Serie A.

This is somewhat different from Gao Han’s prediction back then.

In fact, Gao Han is very optimistic about Juventus, especially the management of the Zebras. He believes that this management team is even better than Inter Milan, but he did not expect one thing, that is, the soaring value of European football players.

Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, two rich teams, have both spent hundreds of millions in one go. In the past two years, Real Madrid and Barcelona have also spent more than 100 million yuan in succession, or even hundreds of millions of euros. In addition, Premier League teams led by Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal have benefited from the soaring broadcast fees.

It can be said that the entire European football transfer market is now in a state of extreme talent shortage.

Not to mention those first-tier stars, even those with quasi-first-tier and even some talented young players are all worth a hundred times the price.

When Paris Saint-Germain hit Neymar at a sky-high price, everyone thought Gao Han was crazy. Only a rich man like Paris Saint-Germain would do such crazy actions, but what was the result?

Real Madrid spent 150 million euros on Neymar, and Paris Saint-Germain made a lot of money.

This even sounded a wake-up call for Chinatown, because Hazard's liquidated damages were only 200 million euros, which was obviously very dangerous.

The soaring price of players has led to a very passive situation like Juventus, which has weak youth training ability, in a very passive situation. Coupled with the overall sluggish Serie A, it is difficult for the Zebras to grab high-level players in European football.

Three to zero, this can be said to be the strength gap between Chinatown and Juventus.

It can even be said that this is the gap between Serie A and La Liga.

As Gao Han, who once coached a Serie A team and directed the phone gate incident, he really felt a lot of feelings when he saw Chinatown defeating Juventus 3-0 away.

…………

…………

With a score of 3-0, he returned to Spain from Italy, but Chinatown's winning streak came to an abrupt end.

In the 25th round of La Liga, Chinatown was tied by Villarreal in a big rotation and scored a goal.

Marcellino's team is a strong sniper this season. He used to snipe Atletico Madrid, but now he tied Chinatown away, leaving an extremely deep impression.

Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid all won one after another, and the points gap between the semi-finals further narrowed, especially Chinatown, with only two points left in the lead.

But if it is a terrible draw by Villarreal at home, it is just a small hurdle for the team, then the away game will be a surprise loss to Athletic Bilbao in the 26th round, which is the first crisis the team faces after the winter break.

Valverde's team has not performed well this season, but its style is very tenacious, especially at home.

While Chinatown lost to Athletic Bilbao, Atletico Madrid was tied by Valencia 1-1 at home, but Barcelona defeated Valencia 6-1 at home, reversing Chinatown to the top.

After losing points for two consecutive rounds, the outside media was in a stir again, and the remarks that Chinatown was about to collapse were once again noisy.

In the 27th round of La Liga, Chinatown finally withstood the pressure and defeated Levante 2-0 at home.

But Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and other teams have also won one after another, and Chinatown continues to rank second in La Liga.

However, Zidane and Louis Enrique both placed all their hopes on the 28th round, the game at Camp Nou.

In the middle of the week, the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals.

Chinatown was at home, and Zidane played against Juventus in a rotational half-substitute lineup. He finally won two-to-one at home, and then successfully advanced to the quarterfinals with a total score of 5-1.

The team that Chinatown won in the quarterfinals knockout was Paris Saint-Germain in the French Ligue 1.

Back to the La Liga, the 28th round was ushered in, and Chinatown was visiting the Camp Nou Stadium.

There is only one point difference between the two teams, and the winner of this battle will undoubtedly have more initiative on the road to winning the championship.

Both teams also played with all their strength, Zidane and Luis Enrique played with the strongest lineup.

In the game between the two teams with the strongest offensive capabilities of La Liga, the one who was most tested was undoubtedly defense. Although Zidane played away, he did not once again use a conservative double-middle style in this game, but was more aggressive.

After all, Chinatown has the advantage in the first duel between the two sides.

But unexpectedly, a mistake on the defense caused the goal to be lost in the 19th minute. Messi used his personal ability to score a record for Barcelona.

Strictly speaking, you can't blame the players for conceding this goal. It can only be said that Messi's personal ability is too strong.

Chinatown equalized the score in the 31st minute, and Morata assisted Hazard to win a game, bringing both sides back to the same starting line.

But after the second half of the game, Alves assisted Suarez in the 56th minute to score, completely securing the victory.

After that, Chinatown counterattacked wildly, but never scored.

One to two, Chinatown lost to Camp Nou.

This battle not only caused Chinatown to lose a strong dialogue and three-pointers, but also caused the team's league ranking to drop to fourth place quickly. Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid took advantage of Chinatown's defeat to counterattack successfully.

The gap in points between Chinatown and Barcelona quickly widened to four points.

After the 28th round, the national team match day in March was once again ushered in.

Due to the crisis in Chinatown, Gao Han had to stay in Madrid personally and negotiate with Cantalero and Zidane about the team's next game plan and prepare early, so he really couldn't find time to return to China to watch the game.

The national team training camp in March was the last two warm-up matches before the World Cup qualifiers. The opponents Haiti and Tunisia are of great strength, especially Tunisia, which ranks 25th in the world, far higher than the national football team, and has high training value.

However, facing these two outstanding opponents, the Chinese national football team still showed a very good level, dating Haiti and Tunisia with two-to-two and one-to-one respectively, especially in the last game against Tunisia. The Chinese national football team only equalized the score in the 94th minute, which was tenacious and fought to the end.

This also further made everyone in China feel relieved and the fans were even more excited.

They have not seen a national football team with such an outstanding mental outlook for a long time. Since the Asian Cup, this national football team has indeed gained confidence and seen hope for China to return to the World Cup.

Tunisian head coach Rickens highly praised the national football coach Perrin, believing that he is a good head coach. As long as he has enough time, the Chinese team will become more mature.

After these two games, Perrin's reputation in China has reached a new height, and the coaching environment has become more relaxed. The national football team has regained confidence and is ready to plan to launch an impact on the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
