Genius remembers this site address in one second: []The fastest update! No ads!

July 1, the capital.

Holden himself was sitting in the parade convoy’s first convertible car, with a scarf often worn by Chinese fans on his arms. When Holden waved the Chinese flag to the welcoming crowd, the Chinese fans kept screaming And waved to Horton.

All the Chinese team players, including the new captain Zheng Zhi and the old captain Zheng Zhi, also appeared in the cars following them one by one, while the fans kept chanting Holden and each player's name.

After the Chinese team was eliminated one after another, and Turkey, Costa Rica, Japan, Senegal and other teams became the first Asian team to reach the top four in the World Cup, the Chinese players became national heroes, and Horton is undoubtedly the most popular in Chinese history. People welcome foreigners.

The chairman of the Football Association put a wreath on Horton. Later, as the parade convoy drove to the Great Hall, people scattered colorful confetti from time to time in the high-rise buildings facing the street. After arriving in the Great Hall, the gang awarded Holden the title of Honorary Citizen of China.

Chinese soldiers also received awards one by one. In the football project, football has never received such a grand reception and recognition.

Even Zheng Zhi was very excited. He really did not expect that one day he would stand in the Great Hall to accept the award and shake hands with the big guys. The infamous Chinese football will also turn around.

After the commendation meeting, there is a celebration banquet.

Everything is overflowing with endless joy.

However, after attending the celebration banquet, Horton then held a press conference at the hotel where he was staying, announcing his resignation as the head coach of the Chinese national team.

This is undoubtedly a terrifying depth bomb.

"I want to thank the Chinese Football Association for giving me the opportunity to come to China to coach. I want to thank everyone who has been by my side and supporting me no matter if I win or lose. I want to thank the Chinese players for fighting for this national team from beginning to end. And achieved unparalleled achievements."

"I also want to say thank you to all the Chinese fans. They have always supported and believed in me and the team. Without their support, the Chinese team would not be able to achieve past results, it would be impossible to win the Asian Games champion, Olympic champion, and Asian Cup champion. It is impossible to participate in the World Cup and get the third place. I enjoy my work experience in China very much, so the moment of parting is always sad. I hope to be a gentleman, one for football, and one for the team. The image of dedication will remain in the hearts of the fans and the team."

"I hope everyone can understand my decision. I have to return to Europe because of family reasons. Of course, I am ready to come back if needed in the future and help China in any way. At the same time, I will always be a fan of the Chinese team and will always support this team. Great team."

"Which team I will coach has not yet been decided. Several teams have asked me about my intentions before the World Cup, so I am mainly negotiating with these clubs. There are also several other clubs that are interested in me. Next week I will return to England."

"My next challenge is to coach a European team. I hope to spend every day on the pitch, but I am also willing to continue to maintain contact with China, and I am willing to contribute to the development of Chinese football."

The Chinese national team will be reorganized for the 2004 Olympics and the 2006 World Cup. Horton expressed his willingness to become a technical consultant for the Chinese national team or the youth team. He said: "I am discussing with the Chinese Football Association how to continue to maintain our relationship. My experience coaching the Chinese team is very valuable to me. I don't want to stay in the office. I hope to spend every day on the stadium. This is why I chose a European club team as my next goal."

The Chinese Football Association now has to face the reality of losing Holden.

During the four years of coaching for the Chinese team, Horton led the Chinese team to the Asian Games champion, Olympic champion, Asian Cup champion, Confederations Cup champion and World Cup third place. He is arguably one of the most successful coaches in the world.

You must know that the Chinese team he coached had never won any championships or played in the World Cup before this, but after he coached, the Chinese team has changed from a first-class team in Asia to a world-class team.

As the "Sports Weekly" commented on the front page-in the late 1990s and early 20th century, the best Chinese team met the best Holden and got the best results. Horton and the Chinese team are the best marriage.

"Football News" said-undoubtedly, Holden is the godfather of Chinese football, he brought the Chinese team to an unprecedented height, which will put more pressure on latecomers beyond imagination. When Horton left, he left as the third runner-up coach of the World Cup. Does this mean that the next coach's goal is at least the third runner-up?

New Wolf Sports called the Chinese national team players one by one in the first time.

The injured Fan Zhi gave Horton the highest evaluation. The Liverpool defender said: "He is one of the best coaches I have ever met. Like Hollier, they are the strongest in this field. It is my honor to be able to play for him for four years. I wish him even greater brilliance in the future. We will never forget him! Goodbye, Bobby!"

Arsenal right back Sun Jihai also sent his blessings: "Thank you coach, thank you for your trust, I hope you will be well in the future!"

Arsenal’s main goalkeeper Ou Chuliang said: "This is just the beginning for you, because you have proven your strength and your future will be better! In the UK, I will visit him often. This is indeed not the end. We The journey has just begun."

The young Qu Bo said: "I thought he would continue to coach, playing under him, I feel that I have made great progress, thank him for taking me to the World Cup, I will be grateful for the rest of my life!"

Sun Xiang seemed to be crying on the other end of the phone: "The moment I heard this news, I felt empty, like losing a loved one. I don't know how to describe this feeling. He is like my father. That gave me meticulous help."

Almost every Chinese player gave Horton a blessing.

Of course Zheng Zhi will not be missing.

The young Chinese national team captain Zheng Zhi's emotion is actually the deepest:

"When football closed the door for me, he was the only one who gave me the opportunity to re-enjoy this beautiful sport. I will always thank him!"

"Of course, not only I want to thank him, but Chinese football must thank him, and fans must thank him! He has brought the supreme glory of Chinese football."

"No amount of words can express admiration and gratitude to him. I wish Bobby can achieve better results in the future, and Chinese football will continue to uphold his spirit and continue to achieve excellent results in world football!"

...

Horton left quietly without saying goodbye to the players face to face.

after all,

Parting is always sad, as simple as it can be...

And Horton has not only achieved success in China, he beat Waller to the top of the list in the UEFA's best coaching selection in Europe.

The 55-year-old Horton won 1529 votes out of the 4000 required votes in the voting on UEFA's official website, 11 votes ahead of the Dutchman Hiddink of the South Korean team. The German coach Waller, who led the German team to the World Cup runner-up, only won 310 votes in the selection.

Spain coach Camacho ranked fourth in the selection, with 229 votes. Senegal's head coach Frenchman Mezu and England's Swedish head coach Eriksson ranked fifth and sixth with 179 votes and 156 votes respectively.

In addition, Frenchman Trussier, who led the Japanese team to the top 16 in the World Cup, won 16 votes, while Irish coach McCarthy didn't get a vote.

The Chinese Football Association must start to choose a new coach, but want to find a matching coach? It’s not that easy. It may take several months to settle down, right?

On the 2nd, Zheng Zhi returned to his home in Shenyang and began his vacation. Vacation time is not much, that is, ten days, away from football, just want to quietly enjoy the next time.

And the international football arena is surging again. Inter Milan's Ronaldo became the biggest prey of La Liga giants Real Madrid.

The previous rumors are definitely not groundless, Real Madrid has long been fond of Ronaldo, but the World Cup has been going on when the news is reported.

Previously, according to the Italian "Gazzetta dello Sport" report, Ronaldo's teammate in the Brazilian national team, Robert Carlos, who played for Real Madrid, had asked Real Madrid president Florentino to sign Ronaldo. Carlos told Gazzetta dello Sport: "Real Madrid has always liked to buy the best players in the world, and Ronaldo is one of them."

At the same time, the Spanish newspaper "AS" quoted Ronaldo as saying: "Robert Carlos always likes to talk about Real Madrid. But for me, I belong to Inter Milan. If Real Madrid really wants me, Then they can get in touch with the club and the two sides can negotiate."

During the World Cup, Real Madrid has been paying attention to Ronaldo. The business department of Real Madrid predicted that the alien’s portrait rights will rise sharply. After carefully studying Ronaldo’s 9 goals, the technical department concluded that Ronaldo is too important to Real Madrid. The football skills should belong to this club.

Coincidentally, Ronaldo said in front of everyone at the celebration banquet on the last day in Tokyo: "If Real Madrid likes me, just call me, I believe I will get more honor there, just like Carlos."

Ronaldo said these remarks sincerely, it seems that he is quite eager to join Real Madrid.

For the time being, those who can buy Ronaldo must need another sky-high price. Therefore, the only team that can participate in the purchase of Ronaldo is a giant with a mechanism like Real Madrid, although Real Madrid chairman Florentino’s yacht in Mallorca, Spain There was no word on the forum, but maybe the chairman is thinking about the specific purchase plan in his mind.

However, Ronaldo’s agent Martins said in an interview with Italian ANSA News Agency: “This news is false. Ronaldo will return to Milan soon and work hard for the Inter Milan club to continue to win the championship next season.”

It seems that this news also makes the rumors that Ronaldo may transfer to Real Madrid self-defeating.

National Milan President Moratti also said in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport: “Ronaldo will not leave. The probability of him staying is not 100%, but 101%. Selling him? Impossible! Unless I lose I’m wise, otherwise I would never do that kind of stupid thing. For this, I don’t think I need any reason to explain, things can’t be understood anymore. He will continue to show his talents in Italy next season."

In fact, Inter Milan has prepared a new contract of 11 million euros and plans to extend the contract until 2007. Of course, Inter Milan does not want Ronaldo, who is now popular, to leave.

Ronaldo, who is on vacation in Brazil, also stood up to refute the rumors himself. In an interview with Brazil’s Global Sports, he said half jokingly: “I am longing for the cool and pleasant Bomio (located in the north of Milan, a small town at the foot of the Alps. The Inter Milan club started the preparations for the next season). I plan to take a vacation first, but soon, I will be very happy to return to the team in China, together with my teammates, to defend the honor for the Nerazzurri next season."

Shenyang, 12 o'clock at midnight capital time. UU reading www. uukānshu.com

The Nokia phone on Zheng Zhi's bedside suddenly rang.

Calls at this point are very rare, nothing more than international long distance calls.

Zheng Zhi got on the phone in a daze, and a sip of Portuguese quickly got into his ears.

Ronaldo may not know the time difference between China and Brazil, so he didn't notice the time of the call.

"Man,"

"I might say goodbye to you."

Ronaldo revealed his intention to call as soon as he spoke.

"Huh? What do you say goodbye?" Zheng Zhi rubbed his eyes, not very lucky, but just followed the question to ask.

"If nothing else, I might join Real Madrid. I want to return to La Liga to challenge!"

"Oh,"

"Is this the only thing?" Zheng Zhi came to his senses after hearing these words. He was not as excited as Ronaldo imagined, which made Ronaldo feel very strange.

"Hey, man, your reaction is wrong, shouldn't you curse something or something? Ah, I'm going to Real Madrid." Ronaldo really suspects that the one on the other side of his cell phone is not Zheng Zhi, but someone else, he It took a long time to decide to dial this number.

"Then should I scold you? Football is just a profession. Since you chose to go to Real Madrid, it means you have a clear idea. Is it important to me? It is not important at all, so I only have to congratulate you. Wish you continue to have a brilliant career in Real Madrid!"

"Thank you, buddy."

Ronaldo breathed a sigh of relief during the call on the other end.

And what Zheng Zhi thinks at this time?

Ronaldo joining Real Madrid after the World Cup is news to him? Since Ronaldo is unwilling to stay and continue his three consecutive championships, he can't be kept, everyone has his own choice...
