On September 11, the Chinese team faced Saudi Arabia at the Olympic Sports Center.
In this game, Wang Xiaodong got the starting spot, partnering in the midfield with three Olympic teammates, Zheng Zhi, Hao Junmin, and Zhao Xuri.
Facing the Desert Knight, Wang Xiaodong showed no signs of weakness.
Not only played the entire 90 minutes of the game, but also contributed two passes and one shot.
In the end, the Chinese team narrowly defeated its opponent at home with a score of 3 to 2.
After four games, the Chinese team has two wins and six points, temporarily ranking first in Group B.
North Korea and Saudi Arabia, who also played two games in the same group, scored one point with one draw and one loss respectively. Although Iran and South Korea had one game less, they only had one point.
One "6" and four "1"s suddenly opened the gap between the national football team and other opponents.
Even South Korea's "Seoul News" had to express emotion: "Now the Chinese team has become a recognized first-class team in Asia, which is completely different from the situation when they were originally grouped."
"China DONG has used one person's ability to change the future of Chinese football. After the Olympics, people like Chen Tao, Zhao Xuri, Hao Junmin and others were also spotted by many European teams."
"I believe that by the end of the year, these Chinese players will appear in major European competitions."
"The main players of the Chinese team will all be replaced by overseas players!"
On the other side, Iran's "Tehran Times" also has a common problem: "With the current dominance shown by the Chinese team, we not only need to rely on South Korea to snipe China, but also strive to defeat two strong opponents ourselves."
"In fact, according to insiders of the Iranian team, the team has already included play-offs in the plan..."
After only two games in the top ten, South Korea and Iran have already begun to worry.
The local Olympic champion of the Chinese team really blinded their titanium alloy eyes. They never dreamed that the first international championship in Asia would be won by the Chinese team.
...
After playing in Saudi Arabia, Wang Xiaodong immediately returned to Milan.
At this time, the draw for the Champions League had just been completed, and Mourinho was arranging the players for the Champions League.
As the first seeded team, Inter Milan got a very good draw.
The opponents in Group B are Panathinaikos of Greece, Werder Bremen of the Bundesliga, and Anorthosis of Cyprus.
These three teams are a waste for Inter Milan. The moment the draw results came out, Mourinho had already focused on the knockout rounds of the Champions League.
...
These days are international match days, and there are no games, so there is no formal training on the schedule.
Many players of the Argentina national team fly even longer distances than Wang Xiaodong. Mourinho has also been worried about these two days, fearing that the players' condition will decline due to long-distance travel.
"Hey, DONG, you're back. How was your performance in the World Cup preliminaries?"
Seeing Wang Xiaodong appear on the court at the training base, Ibrahimovic took the lead in saying hello.
"It's okay, the game is just average." Wang Xiaodong said humbly, and then looked around, "Where's that guy Mario?"
"Well..."
When Wang Xiaodong mentioned Balotelli, Quaresma, who had just wanted to come over to say hello, immediately turned around and walked away.
Ibrahimovic rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment and pointed to the parking lot not far away: "If I guessed correctly, you should find him there!"
"He doesn't play games anymore?"
Wang Xiaodong was a little surprised to see that the direction Ibrahimovic pointed was not a game arcade.
"You'll know when you go over and take a look!"
"Just in time, I also brought a gift for Mario."
After saying that, Wang Xiaodong turned back in confusion: "Zlatan, why don't you go with us?"
"No, no."
Hearing this, Ibrahimovic shook his head like a rattle.
"The other one is, DONG, I want to advise you to be mentally prepared in advance."
"Mental preparation? Prepare for what?"
Wang Xiaodong asked again, and Ibrahimovic became silent.
He just shook his head and stepped back step by step.
"It's so weird!"
Wang Xiaodong muttered and walked towards the parking lot carrying a new pair of sneakers.
Ever since he learned about Balotelli's life experience, Wang Xiaodong has always sympathized with this guy.
Although he is only one year younger than me, his experience is completely different from mine.
He was a family of three who came to England to work hard and succeeded; Balotelli was abandoned when he was 2 years old and almost died of an intestinal infection.
After he was adopted at the age of 3 and had some family warmth, ZZ discrimination followed him throughout his childhood.
Although he has been working hard to play football and continue to fulfill his talents.
But after contacting him, I realized that this kid had always been looking for opportunities to prove himself.
And his only way is to join the Italian national team and represent Italy.
Now for Balotelli, who has obtained Italian citizenship, half of this wish has been realized.
Wang Xiaodong believes that as long as this guy develops well, he will definitely become a world-class star in the future.
It wasn't until he came to the dark parking lot that Wang Xiaodong felt something was wrong.
What does it mean if a player doesn't go to the training ground, the cafeteria, the gym, or the game arcade and just hangs out in the parking lot all the time?
"Mario? Mario?"
"Are you there? Are you there?"
Wang Xiaodong's shouts echoed in the empty parking lot and soon disappeared at the end of the corridor.
At this moment, Wang Xiaodong heard the sound of an engine not far away, accompanied by the "squeaking" sound of parts being worn.
"Mario?"
"is it you?"
Wang Xiaodong walked towards the sound, and just after passing a corner, he saw a familiar car.
It's his own transportation vehicle, Bi Ma Wen!
Under the lights of the parking lot, countless black and white stickers were plastered around the body of this silver-white Bimawen car, and a strong gothic metal style rushed towards it.
If it weren't for the license plate number that he was familiar with, Wang Xiaodong would have thought it was a car of the same model as his.
"Oooh! Shet!"
"Mario?"
"What the hell are you doing?"
Wang Xiaodong hurriedly stepped forward and opened the shaking car door.
Phew~~~
The unpleasant smell of boiled taro hit me.
"vomit..."
"Shet, Mario, what are you doing in my car???"
The scene in front of him shocked Wang Xiaodong.
A naked black girl was riding on Balotelli, twisting her waist and shaking wildly. There were also two naked girls with drunken eyes lying on the driver's seat and the passenger's seat.
"Uh...Hey! DONG? Is that you?"
"Come on, there's free J here."
"I invite you..."
Balotelli opened his fluffy eyes and turned the girl on him to face Wang Xiaodong.
"DONG, how about this..."
“GET OUT!!!”
Seeing such a scene, Wang Xiaodong was so angry that he threw the sneakers he bought for 800 euros at Balotelli's face, and then slammed the car door.
"Mario, you have 10 minutes to clean up my car immediately!"
