Perfect Center

Chapter 221 General Fan! Telepathy Card! Qatar is coming!
Xia Han returned to his room.

The system's mechanical and cold prompt sounded quietly.

[Ding dong! ! 】

[National team competition is being settled! 】

【China 11-0 Maldives! 】

[Personal evaluation: SSS! ]

[Superb strength! Amazing skills! Five successful players! Nine goals scored by yourself! You are the king of the court tonight! ]

【Fans give you the most sincere applause and blessings! 】

[You are about to lead the national team into the top 12! ]

【Give the most precious gift to the countless fans who are eagerly waiting! 】

Five big words emerged in Xia Han's mind.

“We’re out of the group!”

The grand occasion of 02 is engraved in my mind.

One goal earns one point and one win!
The Chinese team, which made it to the World Cup finals, was just a hair's breadth away from scoring the first goal of the World Cup.

The system prompt sound did not stop.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Silver Template Treasure Box·National Team Special Edition! ]

[Extra rewards for personal evaluation: special gold treasure box and special national team version! ]

[Five sons and one son are all successful! Nine goals scored alone! Double the critical hit bonus! Congratulations on getting the extra bonus: "Hero of China"! ]

[Hero of China: When you are at the home court of China, you will be more comfortable on the field and your attributes will be enhanced! ]

[Attribute enhancement: Speed ​​+1/Shooting +1 (Choose one of the two before the game starts!)]

"Good stuff!"

Xia Han's expression brightened and he nodded involuntarily.

No matter which attribute is added, it is a good improvement for Xia Han!

Two different treasure chests appeared before my eyes.

Xia Han first turned his attention to the silver template treasure chest.

"Turn on!"

[Ding dong! ! 】

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Fan Zhiyi's "Crystal Palace Captain" template! ]

[Shine in England, the "Captain of China" on the green field! 】

[Who dares to draw his sword and mount his horse? ]

【I am General Fan! 】

[Five Tiger Generals: Flying Dragon General! 】

[The most valuable "Asian Footballer of the Year"! ]

[A tough and unmatched style of play! An all-around player! One of the few all-around players in the history of the Chinese national football team who can play in all positions except goalkeeper! ]

[100m speed reaches 11.3 seconds, and 12-minute plateau running reaches 3,150 meters! Strong explosive power! Fierce fighting! Clear mind! ]

[Excellent physical fitness, and second to none mental attributes! Fiery temper, and strong stability on the court! ]

[This straight man with hunched shoulders running can be called the "leader" of Chinese football in recent decades in the scarred history of Chinese football! ]

A familiar figure emerged in Xia Han's mind.

General Fan wearing a Crystal Palace jersey!

In the semi-finals of the 00/01 League Cup, Crystal Palace met the Premier League giants Liverpool. Fan Zhiyi successfully "locked down" the England golden boy Owen, who was at the peak of his career. Crystal Palace defeated the Reds 2-1 and entered the final!

No feeling of discomfort.

After receiving the template, Xia Han recalled General Fan’s classic quotes in his mind.

"Xiao Gao was a good coach, why did you replace him? Tell me! You lost 1-5 in Hefei, and you tell me how to explain it? You don't care about your dignity! Zhao Peng and others are playing as central defenders, can he play as a defender? No, he doesn't have the ability, you know? If this continues, we will lose to Vietnam, Thailand, Vietnam and Myanmar. There will be no one to lose next!"

With a smile on his face, Xia Han opened the special golden treasure chest - national team special version!
[Ding dong! ! 】

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Telepathic Card! ]

[Telepathy Card: Bond Card! Even though you may not have the wings of a phoenix, you can still be in touch with each other! You can use the Telepathy Card to bind a national teammate. Once the binding is successful, the tacit understanding between you and the teammate will be greatly improved, and you can understand each other's actions more clearly! ]

After a burst of golden light.

A card appeared out of thin air in Xia Han's hand.

The card features two players with black faces, which looks plain and simple.

“Who should it be used on?”

"Wu Lei? Yang Xu? Gao Lin? Huang Bowen? Hao Junmin..."

Xia Han was thinking in his mind, and names flashed by one by one.

Shake his head.

That's it for now, go to bed first.

……

The next morning.

Xia Han was awakened by his stable biological clock.

The sun is shining brightly outside the window.

The phone kept beeping.

The messages came from Weigl, Pulisic and others, all of whom were shocked by Xia Han’s incredible performance yesterday!

After a simple reply.

A phone call came in.

"Xia, your performance yesterday really dropped my jaw!"

A slightly rough voice sounded, it was Raiola.

He then said, "I have arranged a house for you in Dortmund. It's a small villa not far from the training base and it's not noisy. It should suit your taste!"

"Don't worry, the first-team dormitory is quite comfortable."

"Haha, you are still very casual about things other than football!" Raiola joked and started talking about spokespersons and sports brands. "The negotiations with Pro Evolution Soccer are almost over. KLM, as an Asian company, will treat you very well! The progress with Umbro is also good. You will only need to do a simple commercial shoot!"

Raiola chattered about the recent arrangements.

"Mino, you should take care of your body and pay attention to your health regularly." Xia Han listened to Raiola coughing from time to time and reminded him for the Nth time.

"It's a small matter. I'll go check it out after I finish what I'm doing."

Seeing Xia Han being so patient, Raiola could only say that he would definitely do it next time!
……

Far away Dortmund.

Reinhard Raubal took several reports handed over by an assistant on the side.

"Since he transferred to Dortmund in the summer, his jersey sales have grown rapidly, quickly becoming the number one jersey seller in the club! Plus all kinds of sponsorship support from the Chinese market!"

“Now we are thriving!”

Raubal looked at the report carefully.

A smile appeared on his face, and he whispered: "Millingstat did a great job. If it weren't for his original persistence, perhaps Xia's joining would not have been so smooth!"

"Let the scouts and analysts pay attention to the Chinese players!"

"Of course, we don't want to make the same mistake as Wolfsburg in recruiting players. We need Chinese players with strength or potential! As long as he can play one-fifth of Xia's performance, no! As long as he can play one-tenth of Xia's performance, it will be worth it!"

The assistant said thoughtfully: "In the sport of football, it all comes down to the players' performance on the field! Reality speaks for itself! The field is where the players' value and marketability can be best reflected!"

Raubal nodded.

...Inside the national football team training base.

Gao Hongbo stood on the sidelines, watching the players divided into two teams, A and B, competing against each other on the green field.

In Team A, Xia Han passed the ball to Wu Lei, who understood what he meant and made a diagonal pass!
boom!
Xia Han received the ball and shot directly!
The football rushed into the goal domineeringly!
The LED on the side of the court showed the huge score difference: 5-1!

Xia Han smiled brightly and high-fived Wu Lei who ran over!
"When did they become so in sync?" Gao Hongbo, standing on the sidelines, had a hint of confusion in his eyes. In the match against Maldives, Wu Lei's passes to Xia Han were either too far or crooked.

How come after a good night’s sleep, I feel like the bond between me and Xia Han has been activated!
Xia Han looked at the thin blue line on Wu Lei's body that only one person could see.

It is the telepathic card.

After much thought, I decided to contact Brother Lei Zi.

"If I pass the ball well, I will pass it to you more during the game!" Wu Lei has a deep understanding of his shooting skills and finishing touch. He decided to ask and learn more from Xia Han during the training camp.

As for Xia Han being so much younger than him? Wu Lei has always been willing to learn from those who are capable and can help improve the national football team and lead it to the World Cup.

"I understand. I will pass the ball to you. Take the opportunity when you have it. Don't hesitate!" Xia Han said.

……

The clock is ticking!

Three days passed in a flash!
March 29th!

The final round of the 2018 Russia World Cup Asian qualifiers for the top has begun!
The Chinese national football team will face the strong team Qatar at home in Xi'an!

Due to the points gained from the victory over Qatar, the Chinese team only needs a draw in this game to qualify!

It doesn’t seem like the original time and space where Xia Han didn’t exist.

In the original time and space, the Chinese national football team not only needs to defeat Qatar, but also needs Australia not to lose to Jordan, the Philippines not to lose to North Korea, Iraq not to beat Vietnam, the UAE to lose to Saudi Arabia, and Iran not to lose to Oman by 4 goals. Three of the following five conditions must be met to qualify!
After Xia Han scored four goals to defeat Qatar, even if China draws with Hong Kong twice, the prerequisites for China to advance to the World Championship will not be difficult this time!

"Holy Suzaku" Shaanxi Divine Stadium!
Outside the stadium.

A sea of ​​red!

The passion of Chinese football fans is like a raging flame!

Media reporters from all over the place shuttled among the fans.

"China will win! Xi'an is a blessed place for the Chinese national football team! We will definitely win!"

"Tonight the Holy Vermillion Bird will spread its wings and fly high!"

"We can qualify if we draw! With Xia Han on the team, we will definitely win!"

"We have a great chance of qualifying! The Chinese national football team must seize the opportunity! Especially Wu Lei, I hope he can catch up with the self who is highly expected of him!"

The Chinese fans in the camera had smiles on their faces.

Obviously, after the big victory over Maldives, fans have confidence in the Chinese national football team.

In the official live broadcast room.

The heat is rising!

Fans from all over the world gathered in the live broadcast room.

[Tickets are hard to come by! There is no way to get a ticket! Even scalpers are unwilling to sell tickets! ]

[A draw will qualify! This sentence is as scary as the time left for the Chinese team is running out! ]

[Qatar’s condition is not very good, and there are many main players injured in this game. We still have Xia Han, Huang Bowen, Hao Junmin, Wu Lei... The chances of winning are conservatively around 60 to 70! ]

[Advance! Advance! I have a feeling that the Chinese national football team will make it to the World Cup finals again after 16 years! ]

The scene of the pre-match press conference.

Facing the enthusiastic questions from reporters.

Gao Hongbo's tone was filled with determination to win.

"Many fans calculated the scores for the Chinese national team before the game. In this match against Qatar, as long as we draw, we can advance to the top 12!"

"Qatar is a tough opponent!"

"But what I want to say is that we are determined to win. We have an extremely sharp spear that is now shining in the football world! Our striker is undoubtedly top-notch! We will definitely win this tough battle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out at the scene!
The media reporters applauded!

I am very satisfied with Gao Hongbo’s speech!

Then he turned the microphone to Qatar's head coach Carreño.

Carreño frowned and said seriously:
"We lost once before!"

"We will take revenge this time!"

"The victory of the game belongs to us!"

In the players tunnel.

Players from both teams looked forward.

Xia Han could hear the overwhelming singing outside the player tunnel!

The referee team led the players from both sides out of the tunnel!

Cheers like a flood poured down from the stands on all sides, and the overwhelming posters and banners caught the eye!
Looking around, it's a sea of ​​red!

That is the brilliant red of the East!

This is the "Holy Suzaku" stadium!
"Zhuangdianertai! Zhuangdianertai! Good evening, audience friends!"

"Welcome to watch the final round of the 18 Russia World Cup Asian qualifiers!"

"China will face Qatar at the Shaanxi Provincial Stadium!"

"This is a highly anticipated match! This is a crucial match that will determine whether the Chinese team can miraculously advance to the top 12!"

"Gao Hongbo won 11-0 in his first match after taking over as coach! I hope the Chinese team can continue their hot form in this match!"

"Both teams have players suffering from injuries! Yu Hai and Wu Xi from the Chinese team both left the field due to injuries in the last game! Qatar, which has already secured the top spot in the group, has adopted a large-scale rotation strategy in this game because four of its main players were injured and did not come to China with the team!"

"But after the rotation, the strength of the Qatar team should not be underestimated!"

Fans watched the starting lineups of both teams.

Courtside.

Gao Hongbo stood in the command area from the beginning.

On the other side, Carreño was sitting in the coaching seat.

The harsh words he said before the game were not his true inner thoughts. After several main players were injured and a large-scale rotation was carried out, Carreño knew that this game was mostly lost.

However, he did not show this emotion. Instead, he looked serious, with determination in his eyes.

"The following introduces you to the starting lineups of both sides!"

"The Chinese team, wearing red jerseys, has deployed a 4-3-3 tactical formation!"

"Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng!"

"Defenders: Ren Hang, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linpeng, Zhao Mingjian!"

"Midfielders: Hao Junmin, Zhang Xizhe, Huang Bowen!"

"Forwards: Jiang Ning, Xia Han, Wu Lei!"

"On the defensive line, Zhang Linpeng's return has strengthened the team's defense! Hao Junmin, Zhang Xizhe and Huang Bowen partner in the midfield!"

"The visiting team Qatar, wearing white jerseys, lined up here"

"Goalkeeper: Amin!"

"Defenders: Muftah, Abdulrahman Mohammed, Pedro, Moussa!"

"Midfielders: Hatim, Martin, Ismail Mohammed, Rodrigo Tabata!"

"Forward: Maqsood, Meshal!"

"Compared with the starting lineup of the previous game, Qatar only had goalkeeper Amin, right back Moussa and former Brazilian naturalized midfielder Rodrigo Tabata starting! The other eight positions were all replaced! Portugal's naturalized central defender Pedro played for Qatar for the first time!"
