After the Chinese team arrived in Europe, they soon started the game. The opponent they found was Portugal.

It was not until this game that the debate caused by Zhao Yaning in the Champions League final was reduced a lot: the Chinese team played very badly, defended for 45 minutes in the first half and barely lost the ball. In the second half, they chose the Chinese team that had emerged from all sides, and were directly beaten by the Portuguese team. Ronaldo scored one goal and two assists, and performed like a divine assist. He led the team to a 7-0 victory, which also made Zhao Yaning look inferior.

Although it was just an irrelevant friendly match, the topic of Zhao Yaning's possibility of creating miracles in the World Cup was still curbed.

"At least, we have proved that no matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to go against the will of heaven. Asian teams have encountered European and American teams, and it is difficult for them to win without any accidents. After all, the years when everyone is engaged in football are too different. It is really impossible for Asians to defeat Europeans."

European media comments suddenly turned their attention to more attractive players. After all, the World Cup has arrived, and national teams in various countries are constantly doing things, and everyone is paying more attention to those teams that are likely to win the championship. The Chinese team is obviously not listed here.

But at this time, Zhao Yaning accepted the result calmly and analyzed it with his teammates in the team.

"At least we have proved that our team can withstand the opponent's attack for 45 minutes when defending the whole game - this is already a very good result, isn't it? Coach Heathfield is a good coach, he directs well, and our defense has indeed improved essentially."

Zhao Yaning’s requirements are not high. Since it is a friendly match, what is the difference between losing 0-7 and winning 100-0? The key is to find out where your problem lies. Since the goal has been achieved, you don’t have to be unhappy anymore.

"Our attack is obviously not very good. This is my problem. My teammates and I have insufficient cooperation, which has led to such problems, but we still have time to make up for it. In terms of the midfielder, we continue to strengthen the counterattack of a shot. I know you are not Sneider, but at least kick the ball out and don't stick to the ball. Hao Junmin and Gao Lin are the most important components of our frontcourt. What you need to do is to help me open the defense. I can't always fight against so many people by myself. You don't have to worry about the rest, everything is mine. Believe me, the game in the Champions League final is not my upper limit, I can still play better."

While Zhao Yaning was busy preparing for the game with his teammates, the preparations for the World Cup were also in full swing. However, Zhao Yaning is no longer the most eye-catching one now. After all, the Chinese team is not strong, and many people see it and think that he is not worth worrying.

At this time, those traditional strong teams are more valued. It is precisely because their team is stronger that although Zhao Yaning's strength is obviously much stronger than others, he is still being used by others to become the most eye-catching star in the World Cup.

Comparing to him are Kaka, Ronaldo, Messi, and Rooney.

"This is the most likely player to win the Golden Globe Award in this World Cup!" The media said this to the five of them.

"It's fine if others are. Kaka has played a good ball at least. Ronaldo can be regarded as my nemesis. After all, Messi is Maradona's successor - how did Rooney get in?"

Zhao Yaning doesn't care much about the Golden Ball Awards - why should I care about it after I have won three times? However, he is also very curious. Although the Chinese team is not likely to win the championship in this World Cup, it is also impossible for those Golden Ball competitors to be - Messi's Argentina and Ronaldo's Portugal, in Zhao Yaning's view, hope is not much greater than that of the Chinese team. Kaka's Brazil is the strongest, but Kaka's tactical role in this team is really not very good. And Rooney's England... First of all, is this Rooney's England still doubtful, and secondly, why is Rooney comparable to them?

This is Zhao Yaning's dissatisfaction. Although Rooney is considered a star, he and these people are of different levels after all. Indeed, the Chinese team is not strong, but can England be strong? Before the game, Ferdinand was suddenly injured and unable to participate in the World Cup. In the end, Beckham was not able to successfully be selected into the national team. The most eye-catching thing in the whole England is, except for Shuangdian and Rooney, Terry. But the reason why Terry was noticed was because he was suddenly revealed to have an affair with his former teammate Bridge's fiancée... England is also in chaos now. Although China is weak, how strong can they be?

"Bridge is really good. He can't find a wife in the bar. He really can't blame Terry for such a thing..."

Zhao Yaning also said a few words in private about this matter. However, he did not speak to the media. England is already a big deal, so why should he go over and make trouble? Just take care of your own affairs.

Unfortunately, he thought so, but some people didn't. On the first day of the Chinese team's arrival in South Africa, a reporter told Zhao Yaning something that made Zhao Yaning laugh and cry.

"Zhao Yaning? I know he is a good player, but he is far behind Messi. Messi is the other me. Why is Zhao Yaning competing with Messi? He competing with Messi is just me. Can he compete with me?"

When Maradona was interviewed, he expressed his opinion directly. He looked down on Zhao Yaning. He also accepted an interview. He simply said that he had never heard of Thomas Mueller in Germany. He still expressed that he had heard of Zhao Yaning, but he was not as good as himself.

But even so, the reporters still had to remind him in a vague way that even if he was against Maradona, Zhao Yaning was just a World Cup, and speaking of it, Zhao Yaning's other honors were a big deal, and his performance was comparable to him. Maradona and Zhao Yaning's comparison, putting aside the bonus of the national emotional component of the World Cup connected to the Falklands War, he really dared not say that he was just a stable victory...

"Maradona himself said that he is just a donkey. Why do you always say his words? It doesn't mean much." In this regard, Zhao Yaning rarely joked with the media, "I really don't understand what Maradonatu is. Just be his king of football. If you have to come out and sway, you will be finished. If you have to stick out your face, you will be beaten to him... The world's strong team almost made him scold him. If he catches and scolds him, if this continues, if Argentina doesn't win the championship, he will be laughed at to death."

Since taking over the head coach of Argentina, Maradona has no idea what it is to be low-key. However, he may not want to be low-key at first. He scolded his old enemy Brazil, accused Germany, and Spain, and now he also scolded Zhao Yaning. The aura of the king of football is very strong, which is really uncommon. If he were not the king of football, he would have been scolded long ago, but he has such capital - this guy who is almost the same size as the ball, his free kick skills are still far beyond all Argentina players during training, which makes people have to admit that he is indeed an old monster.

Because of his attitude, Zhao Yaning couldn't help but say a few words. You are just a swearing at me, how boring are you?

"You are yelling at him, maybe Argentina has really won the championship?" After the interview, the head coach also spoke.

"The possibility of Argentina winning the championship is not much better than the Chinese team." Zhao Yaning glanced at his teammates, "We are not strong, they are not good at tactics. If they are involved in Maradona, they still expect to win the championship? Just kidding."

Maradona's Argentina team is now full of complaints. Everyone knows that this year's Champions League runner-up Inter Milan team was played by Argentine players, but Maradona did not call any of the three main players of the Champions League runner-up. On the back line, Maradona creatively used the way of playing together with four central defenders, while on the forward line, he wore three 170cm small men with a 170cm squad. When he needed a center, he actually chose Palermo who played in Ajia.

Maradona has been away from football for too long, and he doesn't know what modern football is. Just his tactic of being criticized as a 415, a single midfield five striker, wants to win the championship? Unless the Suns come out from the west.

"But that's fine." Zhao Yaning was also a little happy about this, "I also agree with their words. If the European and American teams don't lose their own position, we don't have many opportunities. But now, they have already begun to lose their own position. Since that's the case, what else can we say? What's wrong with beating the dog in the water?

Obviously, Zhao Yaning still did not expect how good his luck would be. Just on the eve of the World Cup, another news shocked the whole world: Drogba in Côte d'Ivoire was injured in a friendly match and could not participate in the World Cup.

If we trace back to the past, they are not a particularly powerful African giant team. However, in recent years, they have indeed appeared many good players. The two brothers Yaya Toure and Colo Toure, Chelsea's Kalu, Arsenal's Ebue, and Ligue 1's Gervinho, they can also be regarded as famous players. However, there is only one player that is the most eye-catching player, namely their core player, Chelsea's main center Drogba.

He is the soul of this team and the pillar of this team, but now, he is also the biggest burden on this team - in the game against the Japanese team, Japanese defender Tanaka Togasa Wang directly broke Drogba's arm, broke Drogba's bone, and also made Drogba say goodbye to this World Cup.

"Asian players will inevitably KO a French player every World Cup. This is basic common sense." Zhao Yaning did not pay much attention to media comments, but looked at the comments on the Internet. After all, in South Africa, he really has nothing else to do, and he can only watch the news online.

The comments from netizens on the Internet quickly made him laugh.
