Chapter 14 Play-off opponents! Van Dijk's final moments
-
[Is this true? So cool! And there is this trick! ]
-
[It’s a sure thing! I don’t think they’ll make it to the Champions League finals! Looking forward to it! ]
-
[Before I saw it, I thought I was praising this guy, but now I praise him to bits! He is handsome and can play well! ]
-
[In this ball, Salzburg Red Bull's defense was too careless. No one thought that Xia Han would choose to shoot directly! ]

Zeidler stood there in a daze, in stark contrast to the ecstatic Demblauskas on the other side.

The players of Red Bull Salzburg had lost all their fighting spirit, and Zalgiris also retreated to defend.

In the remaining time of the game, both sides created very few shooting opportunities.

In the last minute of injury time, Zalgiris's defensive player double-teamed Pires, intercepted the ball and kicked it away.

Finally, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Zalgiris 3-1 Red Bull Salzburg.

The cheers from the stands were like a landslide and a tsunami, all shouting out one name: "Xia!!!"

The teammates on the bench excitedly rushed to Xia Han and hugged the hero.

Before leaving the field, Xia Han and his teammates circled and waved their arms to thank the fans for their support.

The commentator's tone was cheerful and excited: "Let us congratulate Zalgiris for their promotion! Let us look forward to their performance in the play-offs!"

at the post-match press conference.

Xia Han, who was physically exhausted, did not serve as a player representative. Instead, the player representative was midfielder Pilibatis.

All media are speculating about Xia Han's next stop.

The Zalgiris management also received offers from several teams, but they were far from what they expected.

After rejecting his teammates' invitation to a party, Xia Han was completely focused on the reward for the mission.

[Ding! Congratulations on winning the second leg of the third qualifying round of the Champions League. ]

[Personal evaluation: SSS! ]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the silver template treasure chest! ]

[Opening treasure chest...]

[Congratulations on receiving: Park Ji-sung's "Iron Lung" template (incomplete)! ]

【Physical strength increased! 】

【Stamina: 77→81↑】

Xia Han felt a warm current flowing through him, brushing away the fatigue in his body.

In addition, the pre-match system released a goal-scoring task: hat trick!
After completing the hat trick, the reward given is a gold template treasure chest.

[Complete the goal mission: Hat Trick and get the gold template treasure chest! ]

[Ding! The treasure chest is opening...]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Recoba's "Chinese Boy" template (incomplete)! ]

[Some attributes are enhanced! ]

The treasure chest turned into golden powder, wrapping Xia Han.

Strange arcs and set pieces played out in Xia Han's mind.

This time, Recoba's golden template treasure chest focuses on arcs and free kicks, which greatly enhances Xia Han's free kick ability.

As more and more templates are added, Xia Han's attribute enhancement will also feed back to the template, gaining additional bonuses! And it is possible to break the upper limit.

After each reward, Xia Han's strength would leap forward. He could be said to be two different people before and after the game.

……

At the same time, on Chinese video websites, the popularity of video clips about Xia Han continued to rise.

People are happy to see a genius rise! Especially a Chinese genius!
"Zalgiris's wind-chasing boy! Eleven goals and one assist in four games in the Champions League qualifiers! Incredible data! The rise of a supernova!" "Underage Chinese teenager! Shine in the Champions League qualifiers!"

"Tactical Room - In-depth analysis of Xia Han's technical characteristics, let you know this young man like the wind!"

"Chinese Kaka? Big strides! As fast as lightning!"

Xia Han became completely famous in China.

The comments, likes and reposts of various videos have skyrocketed.

[No, this Xia Han is really strong! ]
-
[So cool and so strong! So cool! 】
-
[The answer to China's forward line in the next ten years! ]

【Love it, love it! 】

……

On August 8, Zalgiris challenged Kaunas Bison away and scored a huge score of 1-. Xia Han scored a hat trick of goals and assists.

After the game, Dambruaskas didn't look very good because the opponents of the Champions League qualifying play-offs came out.

Celtic, the Scottish Premier League giants! They won the championship last season! They scored 84 goals and conceded 17 goals!
"It's not easy to play!" Dambruaskas and members of the coaching staff studied the Celtics' game video.

After returning to the training base, Xia Han began to practice free kicks repeatedly.

boom!
Xia Han kicked the football fiercely in the lower middle part with his right foot.

The football spun violently and rushed towards the goal.

With a click!
The football made a strange arc and hit the crossbar.

Xia Han looked down at his right foot, hooked the ball next to him and placed it on his left foot.

Bang! This time the fierce shot was shot with the left foot.

The football was still spinning violently in the air.

This time the result was even worse. The football that was originally shot towards the goal deviated from its trajectory and went out of the bottom line.

boom! boom! boom!
Xia Han practiced shooting again and again!
"This template is quite powerful!" Xia Han had practiced free kicks before, but the results were minimal and the cost-effectiveness was far inferior to others.

If a player wants to become a free kick expert, he needs not only diligent practice, but also talent.

Watching the football make a huge arc and hit the white net hard!

Xia Han gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

After finishing the training and taking a shower, Xia Han watched the video pushed by En Yu Yaqi.

"Where will the wind chaser from Zalgiris go next? There are many different opinions! Let's make a prediction!"

The content of the video is very simple. Several video bloggers who produce football content express their guesses about Xia Han's next team.

"Let's focus on the Celtics' play-off first!" Xia Han ignored En Yuyazi's question and said.

"With you here, we can easily take him down!" En Yu Yaqi sent a grinning expression.

"Haha." Xia Han said haha.

Celtic, the top team in the Scottish Premier League, are not easy to deal with.

Even though he had the two templates of Park Ji-sung's "Iron Lung" and Recoba's "Chinese Boy", Xia Han did not dare to guarantee that he could win the game with certainty.

Stopping the chat with En Yuyazi, Xia Han clicked on the Celtics' game video.

"Van Dijk?" Xia Han saw the players in the Celtics lineup.

This should be Van Dijk's last period at Celtic.

If Xia Han remembers correctly, Van Dijk will join the Premier League team Southampton Saints on September 1st of this year.

After that, he joined Liverpool for more than 80 million and became the Red Army's mainstay and a hero in their championship!
Xia Han was extremely alert, because this was a central defender who was only one step away from the Ballon d'Or. Even though he was not at his peak yet, his strength was terrifying.
