That header, when I think back on it now, my heart is still pounding. Xiang Yuwang leapt high, like an eagle, smashing the ball into the goal! In that moment, I felt as if I had returned to my university days, standing amidst a crowded stadium, roaring and cheering with my brothers for every spectacular goal. The difference this time was that it was for our U21 national football team! A clean 1-0 victory, defeating Iran U20 again within three days, the taste of this victory is truly sweet! To be honest, the first half made me a bit anxious. Both sides played cautiously, like two chess players carefully testing each other. I was busy scrolling through sports news on my phone while occasionally looking up at the live broadcast on TV, afraid of missing any exciting moments. My wife was busy in the kitchen, the aroma wafting over, making my stomach growl. Her braised pork, the flavor, is simply divine! Rich but not greasy, melting in your mouth, it always makes me eat two more bowls of rice. But right now, how could I have the mind to eat? All my thoughts were focused on the game. The 0-0 score held until the second half. I silently chanted in my heart: Score! Score! Finally, in the 62nd minute, the goal came! Xiang Yuwang's header, like a cannonball, headed straight for the goal! At that moment, I felt as if time had stopped, and all eyes were focused on the flying football. Goal! I couldn't help but shout loudly, startling…

As the third-generation king of world football, Messi chose to join the Miami International team in the MLS after winning the 2022 Qatar World Cup. However, it now appears that Messi's decision was quite correct. In the MLS, Messi can avoid excessive fatigue and continue to preserve his physical strength and recover his body. Therefore, in the summer's Copa America, Messi also led the Argentine national team to victory again. Currently, Messi has also received another piece of good news: he has been elected as the best player of the 2024 MLS season by Transfermarkt. In the 2024 season, Messi scored an impressive 21 goals and provided 11 assists in just 22 games, demonstrating that whenever he takes the field, he contributes top-level statistics and performances. Notably, Messi also led Miami International to finish first in their regular-season division. Unfortunately, in the subsequent playoffs, Messi's Miami International suffered a surprising elimination. However, this does not diminish Messi's outstanding performance in the 2024 MLS season. Therefore, Messi's latest award is well-deserved. In the MLS, Messi's performance is akin to a dimension-reducing strike, which has made Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays in the Saudi league, quite envious. Ronaldo has been playing in the Saudi league for three years but has yet to win any championships. He has also never been named the best player in the Saudi league, which has left the typically competitive Ronaldo feeling quite frustrated. Therefore, whether Ronaldo will choose to join the MLS and continue his rivalry with Messi after this season ends is something everyone is looking forward…

In the wave of anti-corruption in the sports world, the turmoil in the football world has just begun to ripple, and the volleyball world has not been spared. The former director of the Volleyball Management Center, Li Quanqiang, was arrested, an event that is like a stone thrown into the seemingly calm lake of volleyball, causing ripples. Whether these ripples will spread and bring more truths to light has become a question in the minds of many fans. Famous journalist He Xiaolong's voice on social media seems to provide a clue to this question. He stated that when someone goes missing, it often means that the dragnet operation has quietly begun. Although the current volleyball circle presents a calm appearance, he asserts that there will definitely be more people involved in the volleyball world later. This view undoubtedly dropped a bombshell in the calm world of volleyball, triggering strong curiosity and speculation among fans about the subsequent situation of the Volleyball Management Center. When exploring the possible problems in the Volleyball Management Center, Pan Zhichen, the predecessor of Li Quanqiang, came into people's field of vision. Pan Zhichen's experience can be called a struggle history. Born as a private teacher, he relied on his tireless efforts to transfer from the Bicycle Fencing Center to the Volleyball Management Center. At that time, the Chinese women's volleyball team was experiencing the pain of failure at the 2012 London Olympics. After the Paris Olympics, Yu Juemin refused to continue serving as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, believing that he…

The year 2025 is of great significance for Chinese football. Besides the national team's final preparations for the 2026 World Cup, both the U20 and U17 national youth teams will participate in their respective age-group Asian Cups, striving for better results and qualifications for the World Youth Championships. Currently, under the leadership of Ivan, the national team has concluded its first training camp of the year. After disbanding in Haikou, the players will return to their respective clubs to prepare for the new season, while Ivan will return to Beijing to summarize this training session. The U20 national youth team is currently training in Thailand, preparing for the upcoming U20 Asian Cup to be held in Shenzhen. As only reaching the semi-finals guarantees qualification for the U20 World Cup, this poses a significant challenge for the national team. However, being able to enter the final stage of the Asian Cup represents progress for Chinese football, which has struggled to even reach the finals of lower-age group Asian Cups for a long time. This training in Thailand also serves as the final preparation before the official competition. During their training in Thailand, the U20 national youth team plans to play four warm-up matches, the first of which is against K League powerhouse Jeonbuk Hyundai. Jeonbuk Hyundai is also preparing for the new K League season, so they attach great importance to this match against the national youth team and have fielded their first-team squad. The main purpose is to evaluate players, so almost all Jeonbuk Hyundai players, including their main players,…

Gu Ailing has won another championship. At only 21 years old, she has already stood on the podium as champion 18 times in the World Cup, and is almost considered the strongest in this field. However, Gu Ailing is not satisfied, as she has even bigger goals. Last night, at the Freestyle Skiing Slopestyle World Cup in Laax, Gu Ailing participated in the final. A total of 8 athletes competed in the final, with Gu Ailing, who ranked first in the preliminary round, being the last to perform. In the final, Gu Ailing scored 81.22 points in the first round, ranking first and leading by a wide margin. In the second round, Gu Ailing continued her impressive performance with a score of 80.91 points. Ultimately, Gu Ailing's score was 81.22 points, securing her victory. None of the other competitors were able to score above 73 points. The second-place finisher had a score of 72.80 points, far behind Gu Ailing. Standing on the podium, Gu Ailing was very happy and excitedly interacted with the audience. This championship is the 18th World Cup title for Gu Ailing, continuing to break the world record she holds. On December 22, 2024, Gu Ailing surpassed Tessa Ledeux to become the sole holder of the most World Cup titles in freestyle skiing. She is truly a historical first! Prior to this, Gu Ailing had consecutively won the U-shaped venue skills championship at the World Cup events in New Zealand, Beijing Yunding, and Copper Mountain in the United States. Yesterday's competition marked Gu Ailing's first participation in…

Translation of the content: Recently, the changes in the national football team have been quite dazzling! Ivan, the new coach, has made bold reforms as soon as he took office, directly igniting three fires and expelling five major national team players. This move has caused a lot of discussion among fans, with some applauding and others worried. However, I think this might really be a new opportunity for the national football team. Let's talk about these five expelled national team players first. Wu Xi, Zhang Linpeng, Li Ke, Wu Lei, and Yan Junling are all familiar faces in the national team, who were once the pillars of the team. However, in recent years, their performance has been declining year by year on the field. Take Wu Xi as an example. This veteran used to be the one who could control the midfield, but in recent games, his running speed has obviously slowed down, and there have been frequent passing errors. As for Zhang Linpeng, it goes without saying that he always misses people in defense and has even had the embarrassing situation of scoring an own goal. Wu Lei, although our top scorer, has also become less visible on the court in the past two years. Ivan's move is really ruthless, directly clearing out these veterans. However, if you think about it carefully, this might be a good opportunity for the national team to start anew. Our national team has been criticized for years for its poor transition between old and new players, with veterans unwilling to leave their positions…

The Portuguese team in the 2022 World Cup experienced a series of ups and downs, including internal conflicts, disappointment, and pain. For Cristiano Ronaldo, that year's competition almost became a turning point in his career. Everyone remembers the match against Morocco, where Portugal was surprisingly eliminated in the quarter-finals. Ronaldo, with tears in his eyes, almost broke down emotionally as he walked into the player's tunnel. The World Cup is a dream stage for every player, and for Ronaldo, it might have been his last chance. As he gets older, it's uncertain when he'll get another shot at winning the World Cup. During the match, Ronaldo was placed on the bench, which became a focal point of attention. Fans speculated wildly, with rumors even suggesting that Ronaldo demanded the replacement of head coach Fernando Santos. People generally believed that he was unhappy about not starting the game, causing significant turmoil and leading to internal conflicts within the team. Some began to question whether Ronaldo was truly willing to make sacrifices for the team or if he was being selfish. Recently, however, Santos revealed something different during an interview. He mentioned that although Ronaldo was unhappy sitting on the bench, he still respected his decision. "There was no conflict between us as the outside world suggested; instead, we maintained contact and communicated after the match," explained Santos, surprising many. It turns out that everyone misunderstood Ronaldo. Despite his unhappiness and possible disappointment, he did not stir up trouble within the team but made compromises for the overall interests of the squad.…

"Who is the greatest in history?" This is an old question that fans have been arguing about for nearly 20 years. At dinner tables, behind keyboards, and on the sidelines of matches, the names of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo almost occupy half of all football topics. The concept of "the two best of their generation" once struck a chord with many - "Messi is a genius, Ronaldo is a machine." But now, as Messi lifts the World Cup trophy and Ronaldo gradually fades from the historical stage, the seemingly equal status of the two seems to have been broken by time and achievements. What has made Messi step by step become the "GOAT" (Greatest Of All Time), while Ronaldo has gradually slipped down the historical rankings? Let us delve into this. Messi's story is a typical script of rising from the trough to the peak. As a player with extraordinary talent, Messi's career highlights are countless, but his start with the national team was bumpy. In the 2014 World Cup final, he stood before the world but unfortunately lost to Germany, missing an opportunity to be crowned king. Even more heart-wrenching was his consecutive failures on the Copa America field - reaching the final three times and failing three times. Even worse, after one loss, Messi even publicly announced his retirement from the Argentine national team, which once led people to question his leadership abilities. However, great figures never succumb to doubts. In the 2021 Copa America, he finally broke the curse, helping Argentina defeat Brazil and win his first…

Cristiano Ronaldo is not leaving! According to an official from Al-Nassr Club, Ronaldo is about to complete his contract renewal, which also means he will participate in the 2026 World Cup. Previously, there were rumors that Ronaldo would leave Al-Nassr as he hoped to join a team capable of winning championships, and subsequently, he was linked with moves to Al-Hilal, Paris Saint-Germain, and Miami. However, Saudi media had previously reported that under Italian head coach Pioli, Ronaldo was considered an important member of Al-Nassr's squad. Now, Ronaldo has agreed to renew his contract with Al-Nassr, and both parties are expected to officially announce the renewal in the coming days.

According to previous reports by Saudi media, Ronaldo's annual salary after the renewal could reach 300 million euros. In the new year, Ronaldo hopes to score more than 950 goals. At the same time, he also hopes to continue representing the Portuguese national team at the 2026 World Cup, where he will be 41 years old. If he can participate six times, Ronaldo will become the first player in football history to participate in the World Cup six times. Regarding the World Cup, Ronaldo's former national teammate Bruno Alves…
