Chapter 406: Olympic flag bearer
The highly anticipated Champions League final has come to a close, but related news continues to dominate the front pages of major media outlets. As the two best-performing players in the final, Wang Feng and Cristiano Ronaldo naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.
Spain's "National Newspaper" was the first to congratulate Real Madrid on achieving the epic feat of winning both the league and the Champions League, emphasizing the significant value of this year's Champions League title.
"Everyone can see that English Premier League teams have performed exceptionally well in European competitions this year, occupying four of the eight quarter-final spots. However, the Galaxy Warship has successively fought through challenges to reach the final and lift the trophy, making their victory well-deserved!"
"As the best player in the final, Wang Feng was the main contributor to the team's victory. His performance was consistently efficient, helping the team take the lead early in the game and giving his teammates a psychological advantage, even in the face of Manchester United's fierce attacks."
The "National Newspaper" believes that the significance of Real Madrid's first goal was immense because Manchester United had a slightly stronger overall strength throughout the game and performed better on the field. Therefore, if they hadn't scored the opening goal to establish an advantage, the mentality of both teams' players would have changed significantly.
"When Cristiano Ronaldo equalized in the final moments, most Galaxy Warship fans would have become pessimistic. This blow was significant, but our players withstood the pressure and fought tenaciously until the last moment!"
"Their efforts were not in vain, as the Chinese superstar once again shone on the field, avoiding dragging the team into a cruel penalty shootout with a decisive goal, leaving the bitter fruit of defeat to Manchester United and the Portuguese star."
The "Marca" analyzed the team's performance from a defensive perspective, believing that the Galaxy Warship had made significant progress in defense compared to last year. Facing the efficient attacking duo of Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, they did not show any obvious weaknesses.
With the foundation of having Wang Feng as their strongest spearhead, improving their defensive capabilities, Real Madrid's future performance is highly anticipated. They are very likely to catch up with and even surpass the immortal legends set by their predecessors!
"AS" interviewed former Real Madrid superstars who went to the scene to watch the game. The former Portuguese captain, now retired and playing for AC Milan, Figo, said, "Wang Feng's performance was amazing, and Cristiano Ronaldo's loss was not unjust. I hope he can quickly overcome this shadow."
"In Milan, almost everyone talks about Wang Feng. Although he has left Serie A, the legend continues. Just watching this game, everyone can probably understand why."
Currently also playing for AC Milan but absent for the entire season due to injury, "Alien" Ronaldo said, "Wang is always so powerful, which reminds me of the days when I fought alongside him. Whether it was at Inter Milan or Real Madrid, it was the happiest time of my life."
"The first time I saw him was at the Pinetina base. His obviously young face and superb skills left a deep impression on me. At that time, I knew that Wang Feng would definitely become a legendary superstar!"
Even if the Catalonia region media are reluctant, they have to admit that Real Madrid and Wang Feng have brought glory to La Liga. Barcelona was eliminated in the semi-finals by Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United.
"Daily Sports" believes that Barcelona lost to the Red Devils because they lacked players who could fight tough battles, lacking a spiritual leader like Wang Feng.
" Messi has the opportunity to become such a player, and he is also growing continuously. We can fully expect the future, but the most important thing is to have a good club environment and excellent coaching."
The French "Footballeur" magazine believes that Cristiano Ronaldo is very strong, but compared to Wang Feng, he is slightly inferior, and the Portuguese still needs to continue working hard.
The German "Bild" believes that under Wang Feng's leadership, Real Madrid will be unstoppable, and other European powerhouses should consider how to deal with them in the next season.
The Italian "Milan Sports" wrote that Wang Feng once again achieved the miracle of defending the Champions League, which is enough to show that he is the world's unparalleled superstar, making the entire Europe submit under his feet.
The English "Guardian" believes that Manchester United's loss is somewhat innocent. They fought almost the entire game, and Cristiano Ronaldo's goal in the final moments seemed to toll the death knell for the Galaxy Warship, but Wang Feng pulled the team back and successfully turned the tables.
"The Times" believes that this season was supposed to be the Premier League's rise, but it was interrupted by Real Madrid. They are the nemesis of all Premier League teams, and next season, they must strive to strike them with all their might.
Naturally, domestic authoritative media have also extensively reported on this victory. At the same time, they also disclosed a heavyweight news, which is that Wang Feng will be the flag bearer for the Olympic delegation!
The Chinese superstar will join the national team as an overage player to participate in the Olympics held at home. This is no longer a secret, but what is little known is that this matter was opposed by many national Olympic committees.
They expressed "indignation" at Wang Feng's current status and strength, believing that participating in the Olympics is simply "outrageous." "This is not his stage. The top European leagues, the Champions League, and even the World Cup are the battlefields he should go to!"
Officials from New Zealand once said passionately at a meeting that they, Belgium, and Brazil were drawn into the same group with the Chinese team.
Originally, facing strong teams from Europe and the Americas, the hope of advancing was very slim. Now, with Wang Feng leading the Chinese team, wouldn't New Zealand be eliminated from the bottom?
However, the response from our side is reasonable. Firstly, Wang Feng's participation fully complies with the Olympic overage player system. Secondly, including Brazil's Ronaldinho and Argentina's Riquelme, they are all world-class superstars, but they can still represent their respective national Olympic teams. Especially Ronaldinho, he has also won the FIFA World Player of the Year.
Thirdly, there has been some regression, that is, this Olympics held at home is an event that everyone in the country has been eagerly anticipating, so Wang Feng must participate. However, he will not be called up for the next Olympics.
With this, the final list of Chinese team participants has finally been reviewed and officially confirmed. Dong Zhuo, who is still recovering from injury, was retained in the list under Wang Feng's strong recommendation. Even if he cannot participate in the group stage, even if he advances to the quarter-finals, he is very likely unable to return to play.
The head coach of the national Olympic team is Ying Tiesheng. Originally, the top management wanted the national team coach, Alihan, but someone said, if the Dutchman achieves good results again, wouldn't it be too high-profile? It's better to change to our own person, so Ying Tiesheng took office immediately.
The other two overage players besides Wang Feng are Li Weifeng and Zheng Zhi. Li Weifeng was originally the captain of the national team, but this time, both the players and the coaching staff hope that the Chinese superstar can be the captain. His strength and qualifications are completely sufficient, so Wang Feng naturally took the lead.
It is regrettable that Lu Yao cannot take a long-haul international flight back to China at this time. Her expected delivery date is at the end of August.
Even though Lu Yao pleaded earnestly, Wang Feng still heartlessly refused. This is a flight of more than ten hours. If something happens, he will regret it for a lifetime.
"Yao Yao, you obediently watch me perform on TV at home, and I will call you every day."
