Section 627: The Honor of the Golden Boot

After finishing other things, Zhao Yaning himself watched the World Cup in front of the TV. Although he received some invitations, including some TV stations, he wanted to watch the game quietly.

As a loser to comment on the winner, he is not in that mood.

As the media said, the 2006 World Cup was an extremely dull World Cup: the tactical changes after 2004 reached the extreme of this World Cup, and almost all teams chose extremely conservative methods of playing football. The game seemed too dull. Although there were many famous games, France's 16-to-8 matches against Spain, Germany's 8-to-4 matches against Argentina, and Germany's semi-finals against Italy, were all extremely exciting, but this excitement was indeed not as exciting as that of the goal battle.

And this World Cup is still the same as in previous sessions, with all the popular players dying halfway. Brazil lost to France, Argentina lost to Germany, and England lost to Portugal - the four games of eight to four. Speaking of which, the Chinese team lost to Italy was the only normal game, and the other three games were considered unpopular.

Brazil's loss was not unfair at all - the team has no overall idea or a harmonious atmosphere. Although it is known as a fantasy quartet, it turns out that bamboo boards and violin cannot form a symphony, and stars without cooperation cannot become a whole. What's more, Brazil has zero fouls in the backcourt. How can such a play bet can win?

Although Argentina lost to Germany, Riquelme has completed his own proof. He is not Maradona and cannot lead the team to win the championship, but it is not easy to be able to achieve this. After all, Argentina is not a strong team at the championship level, and it is still the host who faces it. If it loses in a penalty kick, it is enough.

And England... Although the Englishman himself said that the loss was because Ronaldo plotted against Rooney, it can be seen that there were not many people in the English team who played reliable - including Zhao Yaning's club teammate Gerald. Gerald was once an honest defender, but when Benitez tapped his attack power, he began to attack and refused to wipe Lampard's butt. However, he was not arranged for him in a specific way of playing, but it was difficult for him to play.

The reason why he was not conspicuous was because Lampard played even worse - as a front midfielder, he didn't score a single ball, and Gerald, who played the back midfielder, made Lampard lose his reputation. Among the few midfielders, there was no problem, only Beckham and Hargreaves. However, the former was unable to make up for the situation, while the latter did nothing but wiped his butt.

As for Rooney - Zhao Yaning sneered at the media's statement. Ferguson Ken deposed Fanny for Ronaldo, let alone Rooney? And, if Rooney really has no problem, why bother with Rooney what he said?

But the English media is such a weird hype, and the only gain is that they have made Ronaldo's best newcomer lose and become Podolsky's. This also made Zhao Yaning once again see the nonsense of the English media. They know that it is not good for them to make trouble, but they still make trouble and are not annoyed.

In the semi-finals, Portugal lost no power to fight back - France's knockout matches are getting better and better, and it completely showed the kingly spirit of overwhelming opponents. In the other game, Italy and Germany were not unexpectedly defeated the game in overtime - Italy once again met Germany in the competition, and it won again, the most unforgettable thing is that it all relies on overtime.

In front of TV, he also watched this World Cup. Italy defeated France in a penalty kick and won the Hercules Cup, which also left Zidane's biggest regret when he retired.

"This game is really..."

Zhang Yuan didn't know what to say after the game. France eliminated Brazil, which made him, a Brazilian fan very dissatisfied. However, France, who left the finals like this, still left him speechless.

"With all the advantages, why did you play like this?"

Zhao Yaning didn't know what to say. Although France did have all the advantages, he did not think that France would definitely win. French football played in an oppressive style, and relying on the strength of the midfield, anyone could suppress their opponents. However, Italian football played in a counterattack style, and even when it was against the Chinese team, the scene was quite vulgar. When the two teams met, France must be playing in Italy. There was no doubt about each other's football philosophy, and each other's football philosophy determined the rhythm of the game. Saying that France could win only saw France's advantage in the scene, but ignored France's poor attack. Lippi said after the game that Italy would win, and Zhao Yaning also believed it.

However, having said that, like many media, he is very strongly looking forward to France winning. Firstly, he is closer to France, at least there are many of his friends among the French players. If the French team wins, he can be happy for his friends. Secondly, it is also because of France's style of play, which is indeed his favorite football. This style of play that can't pass the half-court is indeed better than the defensive counterattack.

However, better-looking may not necessarily win. The various perverse arguments of the French team after losing also made Zhao Yaning look down on him: Zidane will definitely score in the last few minutes? Then what was he doing before? Are he doubting Zidane's integrity?

After the game, he also got a general understanding of what happened at that time: Zidane and Matrazi were just ridiculing and teasing each other - it can be seen that both of them were wrong - but when Matrazi spoke, he was ignorant of Zidane's sister. In this case, Zidane would not care if he said it normally, but Zidane's sister was seriously ill and hospitalized at the time. Matrazi's words angered Zidane. When Zidane was overwhelmed by the man, Matrazi did indeed have the element of pretending, but this was the same that it could not change the facts - Matrazi was wrong in cursing people, but Zidane did not control his temper, which was a bigger problem.

After the game, both sides realized their mistakes. Matrazi did not know that Zidane's sister was hospitalized. He didn't mean to say that. Zidane got angry and was a little too sensitive. After the game, he apologized to the fans. After Matrazi fell, he returned home. His son rushed over and pushed him to the ground, and then proudly announced that his father was a national hero. He used such a fake fall to exchange for the Hercules Cup. This also made Matrazi immediately realize that his actions set a bad example for the children. Naturally, he regretted it and apologized repeatedly to Zidane.

However, there is no regret medicine in the world. This game has countless coincidences, but the result has come out, so there is nothing to argue about. The immaturity and rudeness of the two ruined a curtain call that should have been perfect.

But Zhao Yaning also feels that regret may not be a kind of beauty. Such an incomplete game that is not perfect is also a different classic.

After the World Cup, Zhao Yaning unexpectedly won the World Cup Golden Boot Award. The reason why it was said to be an accident was that when he was eliminated, Zhao Yaning thought that the Golden Boot would be Klose. At that time, Klose entered five and had two games to play. Zhao Ya thought he could surpass him. Who knew that Klose was silent in the semi-finals and the third and fourth place matches, and the Golden Boot still fell into Zhao Yaning's hands.

He scored six goals in total, one more than Klose, who was second.

Although he was unable to win any honorary awards, it was not bad to have an individual award at least. Zhao Yaning was quite happy about this. Moreover, Zhao Yaning's golden boot was enough to make people convinced. He scored goals against the champion and runner-up, and a free kick, plus a corner kick were also very difficult. Even the goal scored equalized the game to ensure the team qualifying. His golden boot was full of gold. Although generally speaking, small teams and big stars are more likely to play the golden boot, Zhao Yaning's golden boot is still amazing.

However, the good mood didn't last long and was disturbed. After the World Cup, Zhang Yuan also told him another thing.

"The national team is going to change coaches now." Zhang Yuan notified Zhao Yaning in response to this, "The Football Association hopes that you will express your opinion and don't change to someone you don't like, and you will have trouble again."

"Why do you need to replace people? The coach is good now."

"He has coached China for four years. How can he do the national team coach for the rest of his life?" Zhang Yuan could only sigh, "I want to leave, but I can't stay."

"Then who can we invite? Rehager seems to not teach Greece anymore..."

"Don't think so much." Zhang Yuan interrupted him, "The Football Association means finding a domestic coach."

"Why?"

"The national team's performance has improved now, and it is always taught by foreigners. After all, it is not nice to say it out loud." Speaking of this, Zhang Yuan himself found it ridiculous, "It's just for the sake of face. The Football Association is now considered to be well-known and always invites foreigners. Moreover, there are interests within the Football Association. After all, there are conflicts of interests within the Football Association. Who doesn't want to take the opportunity to gain some honors? This honor is always a waste of foreigners. To put it bluntly, you are now the thigh, and these domestic coaches want to rely on you to make some capital out of your own."

These words made Zhao Yaning frown a little.

"Brother Zhang, I am not admiring foreigners, but I always know what I do. Domestic coaches are not as good as foreign coaches. Is it really okay to let them lead the team?"

"There is nothing wrong. We can't invite a good coach from the national team. If you have the ability, who will come to Asia?"

Zhao Yaning didn't say anything. Indeed, after 2004, tactical reforms began to become increasingly bigger and bigger. The machinery and dogma of modern football began to show their power. At the World Cup in 2006, various teams began to show extremely stereotypes. The way of operation of machinery was the focus of hot discussion, but now it is the direction of execution. Tactical changes are right in front of us.

For Asian teams, the meaning of tactical changes is naturally behind the scenes. Nowadays, relying on the strong support of Honda Keiyuki, Japan no longer swept Asia in 2000. Iran has reached the end of its journey and is gradually declining, and it is difficult to find someone to coach Asian football.

"Don't worry too much." Seeing Zhao Yaning's expression, Zhang Yuan still advised, "Don't worry, this matter can be said again. Moreover, no matter what, with you and me, Chinese football will not fall like this!"
