Chapter 174: Transfermarkt's latest transfer value announced, shocking the football world It was really beyond Lin Feng's expectations that Barcelona would lose to Chelsea. He remembered that Barcelona seemed to have won the game away from home, but was tied at home. How come it turned into an away loss now? Lin Feng quickly used his mobile phone to search the Internet for the match process between Barcelona and Chelsea, and found that the red card that should have appeared in the first half turned into a yellow card, and Chelsea did not lose any players as a result. Affected by this, Chelsea captain Terry's own goal also did not appear during the subsequent defense. On the contrary, the own goal of Barcelona player Motta was still there, and in the end Chelsea won a small victory over Barcelona with a score of 1:0 thanks to the opponent's own goal. This score cannot completely ensure Chelsea's advancement to the quarterfinals. After all, their lead is not big, and Barcelona's home ground, Camp Nou, is not easy to play in. But Chelsea's head coach Mourinho is a defensive master. After he came to Stamford Bridge, he injected the iron-blooded defensive gene into Chelsea, making Chelsea the strongest defensive team in Europe, without a doubt. Even for a team as strong as Barcelona, it would not be easy to break through Chelsea's goal. Therefore, the difference of one goal is enough to determine the final outcome.
For Barcelona, the next game will definitely be a tough battle. Whether they can advance depends on whether their sharpest spear can pierce Chelsea's strongest shield. If I remember correctly, Barcelona is the champion of the Champions League this season. It would be interesting if Barcelona was eliminated by Chelsea! …… In addition to paying attention to the scores of other Champions League matches, Lin Feng also paid attention to the results of the Chinese national team's games. While the Champions League knockout rounds were in full swing, the Asian Cup qualifiers also kicked off during this period. The Chinese national football team has two games to play in this FIFA match week, the first of which is at home against Palestine. The opponent is not strong, and the homeland has been in the midst of war, so it is difficult to guarantee the training of the players. The Chinese national football team has historically maintained an undefeated record against Palestine, so this game is not too difficult for the team. In addition, the time of the first game conflicted with the Champions League game, so Lin Feng and other overseas players who had Champions League missions did not rush back to the national team to report in the first time this time. But even so, the result of the game did not surprise the outside world. The Chinese national football team, playing at home, despite the absence of most of the main players, relied on the outstanding performance of local players to easily beat the opponent with a score of 2:0 and got off to a good start. But on March 3, the Chinese team will travel to challenge the Iraqi team. Iraq is much stronger than Palestine. Zhu Guanghu dare not be overconfident when facing such a strong Asian force. All the overseas players, including Lin Feng, were summoned. Instead of returning to China, they went directly to the UAE to prepare for the upcoming China-Iran match. It's not easy for Iraq either. At that time, their country was still in the midst of war. Their players had not returned to their country for many years and basically wandered around in the leagues in the Gulf region. They couldn't even go back to play in the national team's games and could only use third-party venues to host the games. This situation is very similar to that of the Syrian team six years later. But precisely because of this, these teams are often very resilient and have a strong fighting spirit. It is difficult for the Chinese national football team to gain an advantage when they meet them, which is why Zhu Guanghu dare not be careless. If we really lose to a team from a war-torn country, we will definitely be scolded by fans when we return home!
"Among the four teams in our group, Singapore and Palestine are relatively weak and basically gave us points. The probability of losing to them is not high. So it is not too difficult for us to enter the Asian Cup finals, but whether we can qualify as the first in the group depends entirely on the direct competition between us and Iraq. We must win this game! ” Before the game, Zhu Guanghu issued a military order, requiring the team to defeat Iraq. If it were in the past, he would definitely not dare to make such big statements. After all, Iraq is quite strong and is on par with the Chinese national team. In addition, West Asian teams are favored by referees, so the Chinese national team can easily suffer losses when facing them away from home, so the probability of losing is greater. But today is different from the past, the Chinese team has made great strides. This Chinese team has a large number of overseas players who have experienced high-level competitions in Europe, including talented players like Lin Feng and Chen Tao. With these players, the Chinese team has the confidence to fight for a victory away from home. Seeing that Zhu Guanghu was full of confidence, Lin Feng did not undermine his confidence. Although this Iraqi team looks very miserable, with their country destroyed, their families ruined and their homes displaced, their situation is even worse than that of the Palestinian players. But Lin Feng clearly remembers that it was this group of displaced players who led the Iraqi team to miraculously win the Asian Cup next year, shocking the entire Asian football world! Although the Chinese team may be stronger on paper, the opponent's spiritual attributes are superior. In addition, the Iraqi team also has a fast player named Younis who is good at counterattacks, so the final outcome of the game is really hard to predict. Zhu Guanghu had no idea that the Chinese national football team was about to face the biggest dark horse of this Asian Cup. He confidently carried out various preparations according to the established tactics. …… The return of overseas stars such as Lin Feng has made this Chinese team the focus of media attention. On February 2, a large group of reporters gathered outside the Chinese team's training base. Among them are local UAE journalists, journalists from Europe, but more are Chinese journalists. These reporters gathered outside the base, set up their cameras and took a lot of photos of the Chinese players who were training. Among them, the most photos are about Lin Feng. Obviously, he is the target of most reporters. Although the Chinese national football team's training is not closed and fans and reporters are allowed to watch from outside, all requests from reporters to interview the players are rejected. This disappointed many reporters who came from afar. They thought they would have a chance to interview Lin Feng, the hottest star in the football world. But now it seems that they thought too much. Some people are bored and search the Internet for the latest news in football. However, I unexpectedly saw the news that the German transfer market announced the latest football values, so I clicked on it and started browsing out of curiosity. "If nothing unexpected happens, Ronaldinho should still be the first place. He has performed so well this season and just won the Ballon d'Or. He is the undisputed number one in football and his value must be high!" Looking closely, the first place is indeed Ronaldinho who plays for Barcelona, and his latest market value is 7000 million euros! Before the two superstars set the upper limit of players' value to 7000 million euros, million euros was already an astronomical figure in the football world. Behind Ronaldinho is Shevchenko who plays for AC Milan. The latest value of the Ukrainian nuclear warhead is 5100 million euros, which is almost 2000 million lower than Ronaldinho. This is enough to show how good and powerful Ronaldinho is! In third place is Arsenal's star player Henry, the Frenchman's latest market value is 5000 million. The fourth to tenth places are Lampard, Totti, Essien, Eto'o, Van Nistelrooy, Kaka and Ballack.
Their value ranges from 3850 million euros to 3500 million euros. These are old faces on the list, and it is not surprising that they appear in this position. But continuing to look down, at the 11th place, the reporter saw a new name - Lin Feng! His market value is 3400 million euros! After seeing the name and his worth, the reporter was completely stunned. The last time the German transfer market updated the player's value was in November last year, when Lin Feng's value was 11 million euros. In just over three months, his net worth has more than doubled to this extent. By the time the summer transfer window is updated, Lin Feng's value will probably have squeezed into the top ten of the player value rankings, right? The upward momentum is so strong, it’s like riding a rocket! Even though the reporter was well-informed, he couldn't help but be surprised at this time. "He's only 18! He's so young, but his value is already 3400 million. When he reaches Kaka's age, how much will his value be?" At the same time, many people also saw the latest transfer market updates. Manchester City, Cristiano Ronaldo searched for a long time on the list before he found his name and his latest worth. 2500 million euros, this figure has increased by 11 million euros compared to November last year. Originally, Ronaldo should be satisfied with his record high value. But now, seeing that Kaka and Lin Feng were ranked ahead of him, Ronaldo's good mood disappeared immediately. "Humph, I'm not weaker than these two guys. Why can they be ranked ahead of me? Just wait, I will surpass you sooner or later!" At the same time, in Barcelona, Messi, who had just lost the game, was not in a good mood. He planned to go online to entertain himself and relieve his boredom. But after seeing the latest player values announced by Transfermarkt, his mood suddenly became worse. Compared to last year, Messi's value has increased significantly, from 1000 million euros to 1500 million euros. But compared to the guy ranked 11th on the list, his net worth is less than half of his. The other party is 11 months younger than him, but his value is nearly 2000 million euros higher than his. This huge gap made Messi doubt whether he could surpass Lin Feng. But soon, his will became firm. I, Leo Messi, have never been inferior to anyone in my life, and I will definitely not lose to this guy! …… The latest transfer value has not only attracted the attention of reporters and players, but also caused heated discussions among fans. When they saw that Lin Feng's value had soared to 3400 million, everyone's reaction was the same: Did the German transfer market make a mistake? "Is it reasonable to put such a high price on a player who is not even 18 years old?" Many people who don’t know Lin Feng have questioned this ranking because of his age. However, this question was quickly refuted by the data listed by other fans:
"I think Transfermarkt is still very objective. After all, in the entire five major leagues, there are almost no players whose goal and assist statistics in the league and the Champions League this season can exceed Lin Feng's. Such performance is completely worthy of this price!" "That's right, if Lin Feng wasn't so young and only had data from a single season, I think it wouldn't be a problem to add another 2000 million to his value!" "Haha, if he keeps playing like this, I have no doubt that his value will surpass Ronaldinho in the future!" Even with these data here, some blind British fans angrily criticized the German transfer market for not being objective and fair just because they did not find Rooney's name on the list. "Rooney is not even on the list, so why should Lin Feng be on the list? How can he be better than our Great British Star? This must be fake!" The British have no ability to do things, but they are the best in the world at bragging. Thanks to the global popularity of English, the British media has a huge influence throughout Europe and even the world. They also often use this influence to promote and create stars for local players, and a "British star" emerges almost every few years. As for whether these British stars are worthy of their reputation, the British don’t care, they just brag about it! As incidents like this happened more and more frequently, fans began to generally doubt the so-called British imperial star. So when they saw the British fans' outrageous remarks, the fans didn't even have the interest to refute them, and just said obediently: "Oh, yes, yes, yes, Rooney is the best in the world. In the future, he will definitely surpass Maradona and be on par with Pele, becoming the new generation of football king!" The French, who are at odds with Germany and determined to win the World Cup this year, have come up with a conspiracy theory: "You say, the Germans are trying to target Lin Feng and get him to join the German team, right? Otherwise, why are they so partial to him?" Lin Feng joins the German team? Once this idea came into my mind, it became lingering in my mind. It’s no wonder that Lin Feng is quite suitable for the current German team. The German team's midfield is relatively weak, but its forward line is good. If Lin Feng can join the German team, he can greatly share the pressure on Ballack and use his excellent passing ability to deliver a large number of ammunition to the players on the forward line. In addition to his own strong offensive ability, if he joins the German team, the German team's frontcourt offensive power will be greatly improved. In this way, the German team will probably be completely renewed and become a strong contender in this World Cup! "I think it's possible. It is said that Lin Feng and his family have settled in Germany for a long time. The German team is currently in a period of transition. If Lin Feng can be included in the German team, the Germans will wake up laughing in their dreams!" Of course, most people scoff at this conspiracy theory: "Haha, can you conspiracy theorists use your brains first? Lin Feng has already represented the Chinese team in international A-level competitions, which means he will never be able to represent other national teams in the future. What's the point of the German Football Association spending so much effort on a player who can't play?" …… Lin Feng, who was far away in the United Arab Emirates, did not know that the German transfer market had announced the latest player values, nor did he expect that his own value would cause such a big shock in the football world. All he is thinking about now is how to lead the team to defeat the dark horse Iraq! (End of this chapter)
