Chapter 3106

City returned to Europe from the United States, not directly back to Manchester, but first to Iceland, the team met in Reykjavik, and training.

Iceland in August is the season of immortals. When you come to Iceland, you have to mention the magical rise of Icelandic football. How did this small country with 300000 people beat England to the top eight in last year's European Championship? How did it beat Croatia, Ukraine and Turkey to the top in the European preliminaries of the 2018 Russia world cup. He de he can?

In those years, although Iceland's football was better than the four European fish bellies, such as Lichtenstein, Andorra, Faroe Islands and San Marino, its strength was limited, and it still belonged to the nature of self entertainment. Icelanders were rich. At that time, they were one of the richest countries in the world. Football was a pastime after warm thoughts.

But such a paradise like football was defeated by a match 13 years ago.

In 2004, the Icelandic League champion hafnavyodu took part in the UEFA Cup. In the first round, he met the new Bundesliga player madiburg who was fierce but didn't know the world.

In the first leg, it's good to say that 0-3 at home was a decent loss, but in the second leg, when we went to Victor field in Hanover, the score of 15-0 directly brought Icelanders back to ancient times.

15: 0 set a single game difference record in three European cups. Zhuo Yang's nine goals are also the individual single game goal records in three European cups, and the two records still stand. Madiburg was the UEFA Cup champion of that year, and still won.

Can lose, but can't lose so shamelessly, Iceland football didn't cry, they red eyes remember this day.

That year was the richest one in Iceland, where the whole people were in finance. The state and the people had countless spare money. Football is a flower, and it all depends on the land. As a result, Iceland began to build dozens of indoor football fields across the country, making this sport, which originally existed only in summer, a full-time sport.

Don't be confused by Iceland's 300000 people. They should be regarded as part of Europe, especially northern Europe. Excellent physical fitness, regardless of the cost of money, trying to recruit players with Icelandic origin, soon Icelandic football from semi amateur to full professional.

Rich Icelanders only played football in those years. Ten years later, 6.8% of the population were registered players. 300000 people, except half of the women, the elderly and children, that is to say, almost all the adult men of the right age and suitable for sports are playing football.

With such enthusiasm, it's hard to play football well.

Today, almost all the players of the Icelandic National team play in the professional leagues of Britain, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Don't take it seriously that the main goalkeeper is the director and the head coach is the dentist. It's nothing but versatility. Zhuo Yang is still a piano professor. Can you say he is an amateur?

Nowadays, the battle cry of Viking resounds over Europe. Happy Icelanders have long forgotten their past depression, and Zhuoyang does not know that he has done such a big thing.

There is a deeper reason for the rise of football in Iceland - from the private sector to the government, they need to use an image way to fight against the debt pressure of European powers.

To put it bluntly, it's to show the spirit of Lao Lai.

In fact, speculation in finance is their first movement. But in 2008, when the global financial crisis hit, it was these opportunists who played the game. Iceland went bankrupt from the state to the people.

After becoming the only bankrupt country in the world, every Icelandic owes an average of seven or eight years' total income to the bank.

The Icelanders held a referendum and 99.9% agreed not to pay back the money to the bank. You bite me?

Angry that Britain, the biggest creditor, almost sent a warship to destroy them, the elegant old lady in Buckingham Palace lifted the dinner table.

I'll tell you, the spirit of contract, the gentlemanly manner, these words have been invented for others.

The big island of ice and fire was first discovered by Viking pirates, and it was also the first place where the pirates settled. Their descendants don't know how to rob them, but they can rely on them. This belongs to lineage inheritance.

It is said that 900 years ago, the famous female pirate "Hei Annie" who roamed the North Sea settled her fleet's nest in Iceland, and her rich treasure was buried somewhere in Iceland, but people have been looking for it for 900 years and have not found it.

It is said that black Anne's husband is an unknown Duke in Europe.

Zhuo Yang doesn't know black Anne. He has never heard of it.

Manchester city came to Reykjavik not only for training, but also for a warm-up match with hammers West Ham.

Gindo an and Bernardo Silva, who didn't follow the team to North America for training, also came here to join the team, as well as new players. Left back bonyaman Mendi also met with his new teammates.

This summer, Monaco is sure to become the biggest player supermarket. Half of the transfer window is open, and the French champions have sold half of their main team. Monaco's top four players sold a total of 340 million, mbape went to Paris, bacayoko went to Chelsea, B Xi and Mendi were harvested by Manchester City.With 52 million pounds, equivalent to 57.5 million euros, 23-year-old Mendi has become the most valuable defender in football. A year ago, Monaco bought him from Marseilles for only 12 million euros, which is a good business.

Mendi was the best left back in the French League last season, and his performance really deserves that. Without the best team of the season, mbape has sold 180 million, not to mention Mendi.

However, what Manchester City want is not the best left back, but the best left back in line with Guardiola's tactical requirements, so whether Mendi can be worth so much money in Manchester City still needs to be seen.

But today is not to see, Mendi is with a small injury to the assembly, only from a distance can not play, he can not play.

Zhuoyang can't play either. It's not that he can't play. It's because five days later it will be the UEFA Super Cup in which Manchester City will compete for supremacy. Manchester City will have to practice their lineup and tactics for that match. Kezhuoyang got Ronaldo's ankle in the Champions League final, his red card was suspended for two games, and he couldn't make it to the Super Cup, so today's preview was nothing for him.

When he returned from the United States, Guardiola had been worried that Zhuoyang would use this excuse to ask him to leave the organization and return to Manchester City alone.

Therefore, the old melon has been thinking about the reasons for rejection, soft not hard, moral kidnapping is even more important. Mendi, who is not very sharp in his legs, must come to join us. This is the reason for "everyone is neat" and the purpose is to block Zhuo Yang's mouth.

Unexpectedly, Zhuoyang never mentioned the matter of leaving the regiment. Instead, he came to Iceland happily. When something goes wrong, there is either deceit or evil. At first, the old melon thought that Koko came too. His royal highness came to Reykjavik.

There is indeed evil, Zhuoyang saw faxiaohai here. With the ocean, there's an Icelandic girl.
