Chapter 1053 Climbing to the top of the Chinese Super League
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, almost the entire Worker's Body cheered.
At this moment, it is estimated that most of the capital are cheering for this game.
Two to zero, the scoreboard of the Workers' Sports team shows the final score of the game.
Jingcheng Guoen took the home court and avenged a revenge last season. With the goals of Ibrahimovic and Wu Lei, he defeated Yangcheng Hengda 2-0, and then ranked first in the Chinese Super League standings with a three-point advantage.
This really made all the fans of Jingcheng Guoen feel excited.
Finally returned to the leader position again!
And this time, Guoen kicked off the overlord of Yangcheng Hengda and reached the top of the Chinese Super League. This is completely different from before, and it is a great incentive for the team.
The scene suddenly turned into a sea of celebration. Guoen's staff rushed up at the moment the whistle sounded, rushed up to celebrate with the players on the court, and the entire court suddenly became a mess.
Media reporters from all over the country were also squatting in the interview area of the stadium. They kept capturing the scene of the players and fans celebrating on the stadium, not only the unrestrained state of Jingcheng Guoen after winning, but also the defeat of Yangcheng Hengda after the defeat.
This is also normal.
Yangcheng Hengda has been dominating the Chinese Super League for many years. Now that he has lost, fans must also want to see what they look like when they lose, especially in such an important game.
To be honest, the showdown between Jingcheng Guoen and Yangcheng Hengda is a bit like the century derby of the Chinese Super League.
As the most popular favorite team to win the championship this season, the showdown between the two teams is naturally the focus of the whole country.
Losing such an important game, Yangcheng Hengda will definitely have a hard time in the next game.
When the reporters on the scene saw the players walking down the stadium, they rushed up.
The most popular ones are undoubtedly the big-name stars in the team.
"Hello, Zlatan, I am a reporter from Beijing Daily. Can you ask you a few questions?"
Ibrahimovic looked at the captain Yunlong. The players of Jingcheng Guoen were obviously familiar with Jingcheng Daily, so Xu Yunlong also said that he could.
"OK, ask!" Ibrahimovic nodded.
"Thank you!" The reporter from the newspaper said politely: "Since joining Jingcheng Guoen, your performance has been very impressive, which has also made many people who have doubts about you before shut up. I wonder what you personally think about Jingcheng Guoen?"
Ibrahimovic smiled slightly, "There is no doubt that we are the strongest team in the Chinese Super League. Winning this game undoubtedly cited this point!"
Is this too domineering?
Even the reporters who are used to speaking good things for the capital, were a little shocked.
But soon, he raised the next question.
"Now, the head coach of Long Hai Shenhua, your Swedish compatriot Erickson, you should know him?"
"Well, I met him. I contacted him before coming to China."
"In an interview, I said that Ibrahimovic is the best in the history of the Chinese Super League and will also become the greatest foreign player. What do you think personally?"
"Uh... I'm very grateful to Erikson for his appreciation. I'm just a professional player. I came to China with only one purpose, that is, I hope to bring success to the team I play for."
"Then do you think Guoen has a chance to succeed this season?"
"Of course, we have a group of very good players and some great foreign players. I can say without hesitation that we are the strongest team in the Super League this season, and our head coach Pochettino is quite outstanding. He reminds me of Bielsa, and they will all become great head coaches."
"Haha, Zlatan, I rarely hear you give such a high evaluation."
After a pause, the reporter asked again: "But since Guoen is mentioned, I would like to ask you, Zlatan, how do you view the Chinese local players in Guoen's team? Will there be any problems between you?"
"No!" Ibrahimovic shook his head.
"Actually, when I was in the UK, I learned Chinese."
"Have you learned Chinese?" The person was a little moved.
"Of course, it's not just me, Kaka has learned it too."
Just then, Kaka walked past the side, heard Ibrahimovic's words, stopped, nodded, "Yes, many of us have learned Chinese."
"Why?" The reporter was a little surprised.
Ibrahimovic and Kaka looked at each other and smiled, "Young Master!"
"Yes, Master Huan suggested that he believes that the largest football market in the future is in China, so we should all learn Chinese, and almost all Southampton players will say a few words."
Ibrahimovic nodded and said, "Because I know a little Chinese, I have no problem communicating with Chinese teammates. As for the football field, we are a whole."
"But many people are worried that you still have... Kaka, you were all the world's leading superstars, and even the best players on this planet, but our local players are a bit..."
"No, no!" Kaka interrupted him at this time, shook his head, "I don't think that the Chinese players are actually very strong. There are many international players in our team and many players are quite good. It is not a problem to play in the European League."
"What about?" the reporter asked with interest.
"Wu Lei!" said Ibrahimovic. "I have played professional football in Europe for more than ten years, including Eredivisie, Serie A, La Liga and Premier League. I think Wu Lei has the ability to gain a foothold in these leagues, and he is still young. Compared with the first time I met him, he has made great progress compared to now."
Kaka obviously also agrees with Ibrahimovic's judgment, "Not only Wu Lei, I think Zhang Xizhe, Chen Zhizhao, Lei Tenglong, they all have the strength to gain a foothold in the European League."
After hearing this, the reporter couldn't help but smile, "They have all experienced studying abroad, but they seem to be unsuccessful."
Ibrahimovic nodded and said, "Because they didn't get the chance, I think they would succeed if they had the chance."
Kaka nodded, "I think so too."
Ibrahimovic thought for a while and added: "I think what Chinese players need to strengthen now is the thinking on the court, the rhythm of the game, and the usual training methods."
"I don't know the other teams for the time being, but judging from my situation in Jingcheng Guoen, Bielsa and Pochettino have made this team change dramatically from the inside out in the past few months. I believe that in time, this team will catch up with the European League teams in all aspects, and even the top teams."
Faced with such great praise from Ibrahimovic and Kaka, even the reporters from Beijing Daily were a little flattered.
Could it be that the changes in the capital city and the country are really so big?
As a reporter who has been following and reporting on Jingcheng Guoen for a long time, why didn’t he find out?
But when Ibrahimovic and Kaka were sent away and Wu Lei, the hero of the goal scorer in this game, the latter also highly praised Bielsa and Pochettino.
"Belsa and Pochettino? Oh, yes, I have had a lot of communication with them. They gave me a lot of advice and guidance. Pochettino even taught me how to play football step by step on the training ground. They gave me a lot of inspiration. I feel that I have improved a lot more than before."
"The biggest change? I think it's a change in thinking. I used to think that the ball should be played like that, but now I find that it's not only better to play like this, but also easier to play."
Speaking of this, Wu Lei smiled silly, "I can't tell you what's going on. I can only say that it's just some feelings. Playing football in Pochettino is just very comfortable. I can basically play my best characteristics in every game. This should be the reason why I performed well on the court."
Not only the players affirmed the team's progress, but even head coach Pochettino also gave the team a high evaluation when interviewed by reporters.
Pochettino said that the ability of Jingcheng Guoen to achieve today's results is inseparable from the efforts of the players and the unity of everyone in the club.
In the interview, he focused on the role of four foreign players, Ibrahimovic, Xavi Alonso, Kaka and John Terry, and believed that they had extremely rich professional league experience and played a guiding role in the team.
But at the same time, Pochettino also affirmed the role of veterans in the team such as Xu Yunlong and Zhou Ting.
Pochettino also praised Zhang Xizhe, Chen Zhizhao, Wu Lei, Zhang Chengdong and Park Cheng and other players, believing that their progress was very obvious and that they had greatly helped the team.
"I often say that we are a whole, and one of the players in the team is part of this whole, and it affects the performance of this team in every game."
"Although I've been leading the team for only three months and we've only played four league games, I can feel that they are working very hard and they all hope to help the team win every game."
"I think this is undoubtedly crucial for a team!"
In an interview, Pochettino also mentioned Yangcheng Hengda.
He believes that Yangcheng Hengda is the strongest competitor of Jingcheng Guoen in the Chinese Super League. The fact that he can win this game is somewhat of a home advantage, but the outcome of a game cannot affect the overall situation of the team.
"We should forget this game as soon as possible now, because it's over and over."
"Play every game well, then I believe that after the season, we will get a satisfactory result."
From beginning to end, Pochettino never expressed his thoughts on winning the championship or competing for the league championship.
Even now, after defeating Yangcheng Hengda and becoming the leader of the Chinese Super League, Pochettino still believes that the league has just begun.
I just played four rounds and shouted to win the championship, which is indeed a bit over.
Of course, this has something to do with his identity as the head coach.
CEO Fang Wei shouted that not winning the championship is his dereliction of duty, which sets the tone for Jingcheng Guoen's goal this season.
But as the team's head coach, especially now, just defeating Yangcheng Hengda, the outside media is making a fierce hype. If Pochettino adds the fire, it will undoubtedly push the team up and down to the forefront.
The pressure is too great, and this may not be a good thing for a team that has just reorganized.
Because of this, Pochettino met Fang Wei, who specially represented Young Master Huan to reward the team on his way back to the locker room, and he focused on putting forward his own ideas.
He believes that we should deal with it in a low-key manner now to avoid putting too much pressure on the team.
Fang Wei also agreed with this and said that the club will handle this matter well.
But the problem is, there is a saying that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.
Chapter completed!
