Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 76: The Rainbow Slash That Slices Close to the Ground, and the Rain in London Stops Just Like That (Bonus Chapter 1 for Monthly Tickets)
On the Coast Mariners Stadium.

While more than 1 Australian fans were still gloating and cheering for their goalkeeper Matthew Ryan's punch that saved the ball.

Su Hao's powerful long-range shot, more than 30 meters from the goal, instantly silenced all the shouts!
"pretty!!!"

"pretty!!!"

"The ball went in!!!"

Goal!!!!

"World wave!"

"A super world-class goal!!!"

"The game has only been going on for less than two minutes!"

"Su Hao then opened the scoring for the Australians with a stunning long-range shot that amazed everyone!"

"1:0!!!"

"Oh my god!!"

"That was a powerful shot!"

"That's outrageous!!!"

"From the slow-motion replay, we can clearly see that the football made an extremely bizarre change of direction in the air!"

"Australian goalkeeper Matthew Ryan didn't react at all; he just stared blankly as the ball nestled into the corner of his own net!"

"Beautiful!!! That was a beautiful shot!"

Old Huang in the commentary booth was transported back to 05.

At the same time, the die-hard Evergrande fans who had traveled from all over China started their wildest celebrations as the referee blew the whistle.

Bright red flags fluttered everywhere, and in response to the radical Australian fans who had just mocked the Chinese with squinting gestures, the excited Evergrande fans naturally gave them the middle finger and profanities while celebrating wildly!
of course!

Among all the celebrating figures, the one who stands out most in front of the Evergrande bench is none other than Marcello Lippi, the Silver Fox who has remained as composed as an old dog ever since he came to China to coach.

Su Hao has a strong long-range shot, and Lippi is well aware of that.

However, Lippi really didn't expect Su Hao to be able to deliver such a powerful kick.

Just as that arc illuminated the entire Coast Mariners Stadium, Lippi involuntarily clutched his head with both hands.

Lippi knew all too well what this goal meant.

Especially now that there are so many scouts in the stands!
"Hey!"

While marveling at his achievement, Lippi couldn't help but let out a bitter sigh.

Yes!

The old man knew very well that the stronger Su Hao performed, the shorter the time Su Hao could stay at Evergrande would be!

They were given a spectacular goal right from the start.

Although Central Coast Mariners manager Graham Arnold was a little frustrated, he still patiently stood on the sidelines and urged his players on.

According to Graham and Arnold's pre-match arrangements, Su Hao should have been marked the whole time. However, what happened just now was indeed an accident. Who would have thought that their own goalkeeper would inexplicably smash the ball directly at them?
After a three-minute celebration, the game was able to resume.

The coastal sailors also launched their fierce counterattack.

After all, it's their home ground, so they have a better understanding of the pitch and the cheers from the fans outside!
In the following ten minutes or so, the Coast Mariners actually put up a small offensive surge that caught the eye of the home fans.

7th minute of the match!

Australian international right winger Nick Montgomery used his strength and speed to outmaneuver Yu Hanchao and deliver a cross at a 45-degree angle before Rong Hao could cover.

Australian center forward Daniel McBreen, who had already positioned himself deep in Guangzhou Evergrande's penalty area, leaped high and outjumped Kim Young-gwon to head the ball toward the goal.

Long pass and cross!

This is the style of play that this Australian champion team is most familiar with and best at.

Daniel McBreen's header was of extremely high quality, but fortunately for Guangzhou Evergrande, Zeng Cheng had been keeping all his attention on McBreen ever since he entered the penalty area.

With a world-class diving save, Zeng Cheng pushed the ball out of bounds with one hand.

Evergrande escaped a disaster!
The 14th minute of the game.

It was still the coastal sailors' attack.

After several easy scoring opportunities on the wing, Adriano Pellegrino, the midfield maestro of the Coast Mariners, once again passed the ball to the wing.

However, although Coast Mariners left winger John Hutchinson successfully used a change of direction to get past Elkeson.

However, after being marked by Zhang Linpeng, John Hutchinson could only manage a weak and somewhat forced pass into Guangzhou Evergrande's penalty area.

Center forward Daniel McBreen attempted to outmaneuver Kim Young-gwon and score again, but this time, Su Hao was already right beside him.

1.91 meters VS 1.89 meters.

Su Hao not only had an advantage in height, but his 86 balance also easily overwhelmed Daniel McBreen, an unknown Australian native.

Daniel McBreen was defeated.

After Su Hao headed the ball to Yu Hanchao, who had dropped back on the wing, he immediately pointed at Gao Lin, who was already accelerating in the middle.

Having long been accustomed to following Su Hao's instructions, Yu Hanchao sent the ball out with a diagonal pass without hesitation.

Near the midfield line, even as Gao Lin started his run, Coast Mariners' deep-lying midfielder McMcGlenley had already pounced on him.

However, Gao Lin, the number one playmaker, managed to turn around and pin McMcGlinch behind him the moment McMcGlinch lunged at him.

After glancing at Su Hao's high-speed trajectory, he slightly tilted the instep of his right foot and pushed the ball out again without stopping it!
now!

In Su Hao's view, the Australian defenses were already riddled with holes.

Elkeson was sprinting diagonally towards the middle.

Without even thinking, relying solely on muscle memory, Su Hao directly used the outside of his right foot to fiercely rub the lower left edge of the football!

"Evergrande's counterattack is coming!"

"Hey He Wei, you know what, Gao Lin's pass was really good! Look how smooth that touch was!"

"Let's hand it over to Su Hao!"

"Su Hao!!!"

"It's coming!"

"One kick!"

"Beautiful!"

"That pass was perfect!"

"pretty!!!"

Although it was just a single pass, the exquisite arc of it sent China's top Suarez fan into a frenzy.

There was no way around it; Su Hao's outside of his foot was simply too exaggerated visually. With a fierce rub of his right foot...

The football skimmed along the grass and drew a semi-circular arc across the Coast Mariners' half of the field.

After bypassing the desperately chasing Mariners defenders Peki Bojic and Zachary Anderson, he appeared precisely at Elkeson's feet, who had already penetrated deep into the Coast Mariners' backfield.

"He's one-on-one with the opponent!"

"Elkeson!"

"no problem!"

"Coast Guard Matthew Ryan attacks, Elkeson flicks his right foot and gets right past Matthew Ryan!"

"Push with your right foot!!!"

"pretty!!!"

"pretty!!!"

"The second one!!!"

"The second one!!!"

"2:0!!!"

"This is Evergrande!"

"This is the most classic Evergrande-style counterattack!"

"It has to be Su Hao again!"

"He finished his defense in the penalty area, then orchestrated the play, and finally delivered a low rainbow flick to Elkeson!"

"There are no problems!"
-
[Damn, Su Hao is too freakish! That ball...tsk tsk tsk. He won the ball in the penalty area, then accelerated from a standstill, and finally delivered that half-circle, low pass. That's incredible!]
-
[Wow! This Evergrande Football School actually teaches real skills! I can't believe it, I have to enroll my son too, maybe he can produce a Su Hao!]
-
[Haha, buddy upstairs, are you stupid? What the hell does this have to do with Evergrande Football School? It's clearly Su Hao's own skill that's so great!]
-
Alright, bro, can't you tell that's a paid troll? Stop arguing with a robot. But to be fair, Evergrande really struck gold. Just with Su Hao as a brand name, it's hard for Evergrande Football School or Evergrande's properties to lose money!
-
Putting everything else aside, watching Evergrande play is just so comfortable! There's absolutely no psychological pressure. Watching my own Beijing Guoan play, on the other hand, is nerve-wracking! Even at 3-0, I'm afraid they'll score four in five minutes!
-
[Haha, that's true! Evergrande is incredibly stable. I can't take it anymore, I'm buying one next time! My colleague has almost earned enough to buy a Passat by buying Evergrande shares. I'm so envious! Damn it, I'm not saying anything more, I'm buying one right now!]
-
[Hey upstairs, where do you buy it? Take me with you! I want to buy a Passat too! Or even a Magotan if necessary!]

The game started with a spectacular long-range goal, but all the team's relentless attacks had no effect. Instead, Guangzhou Evergrande broke through the defense with just three passes.

In such a tragic situation, the Australian Aborigines in the stands, who had been yelling and screaming earlier, naturally fell silent.

Conversely, the group of international students who had followed Su Hao and his group to the hotel started an even wilder celebration.

Standing in front of the bench, watching his players take a two-goal lead so quickly, Lippi, who had been standing on the sidelines, yawned and sat back down on the bench.

Honestly, in Lippi's opinion, the teams in the Australian league are really not that good.

How strong can a league be if it plays for a fixed score and odds year after year?

With a two-goal lead, Lippi was completely relieved.

Not far away, Coast Mariners manager Graham Arnold, after conceding another goal so quickly, was naturally furious and started cursing at his own players.

There's nothing we can do about it; Graham and Arnold's mother spent a fortune to buy a draw at halftime!
this.
The game on the field continued.

Meanwhile, in the stands at the same time.

The scouts who had been carefully observing Su Hao with cameras slipped away to a quiet area in the corridor.

Steve Raleigh.

This 55-year-old man, who began working with Arsenal in January 1980, is no nobody.

In 1978, Steve Rowley began working part-time as a scout for Arsenal. Later, after discovering talented players such as Toniadams and Reparl, he got a full-time job. When Arsène Wenger became Arsenal manager in 1996, the shrewd Wenger promoted him to chief scout.

Of course, Steve Rowley did not disappoint Wenger's trust in him.

Cesc Fabregas in 03, Robin van Persie in 04, and Theo Walcott in 06
These young talents who became world-class players at Arsenal were all the work of Steve Rowley.

Moreover, Steve Rowley played a crucial role in the Cristiano Ronaldo signing saga that caused Wenger the most heartache.

As for why Steve Rowley traveled all the way to Australia to watch this pointless AFC Champions League knockout match, he certainly wasn't there to observe Australian kangaroos or their culture!

Since Su Hao was listed by Football Talent Scout, Steve Raleigh has been studying Su Hao for almost a week.

I already thought Su Hao's talent was absolutely the best in the world in recent years, and now this is great!

A world-class goal worth hundreds of millions, plus an absolutely dreamlike rainbow flick that landed low on the ground.
55-year-old Steve Raleigh really couldn't sit still anymore.

He saw Ferguson's scout, that old geezer, and that annoying old drunkard from Tottenham, right there on the field.

He knew several of them personally, not to mention the strangers present who he could tell at a glance were colleagues without even thinking!

No!

There was no time to lose. Steve Rowley knew very well that Arsenal were no match for anyone else when it came to the team's appeal.

Therefore, he had no choice but to use his trump card!
"Professor! I think I don't need to stay on the field any longer!"

With a 9-hour time difference, it's only morning in London right now.

The professor at his desk is hunched over, studying the specific starting lineups for the weekend's league match!

"Huh? Steve, what's going on?"

"My God! You know what? I see Zidane here, no, maybe Pirlo, no, no, no! I don't know who he resembles, but... I just want to say that in the future of world football, someone will definitely use him as a brand new template to compare with those young players! Yes! He's a guy who can create a completely new concept!"

Steve was already somewhat incoherent on the phone.

Meanwhile, in the Arsenal office building in faraway London.

Upon hearing his friend of over twenty years speak in such a discomposure for the first time, the professor also put down his pen with a solemn expression.

He knew Steve all too well.

"Steve, do you know what you're saying?"

"Professor, you know me! I've never even commented on Fabregas like that! Alright, Professor, I think you should come in person. I don't want you to tell reporters in the future that, like Cristiano Ronaldo, Arsenal almost signed this Hao Su!"

"besides!"

“Professor, you know what? I saw Jim Lawler not far from where I was! That damn red-nosed guy must have noticed Sue too!”

After saying that, Steve Raleigh hung up the phone.

Steve Rowley has already said what needs to be said, compared to Manchester United and those big, wealthy clubs.

Perhaps the only thing Arsenal can attract young people is Wenger's personal charisma!

London!

The rain that had been falling all day seemed to clear up after the phone call ended!

Professor Wenger patted his legs, which were starting to feel numb, and then stood up and walked to the window.

Jim Lawler?
That guy the red-nosed guy relies on the most?
It seems this guy was the one who helped the red-nosed old man sign Javier Hernandez for a bargain price?

damn it!
"Hey! Book me a flight to Australia right now! I need it as fast as possible! Economy class is fine too!"
