Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande
Chapter 83 : Professor Wenger, who has staked his entire future, and Evergrande's championship?
Chapter 83 (Four chapters in one) Professor Wenger, who stakes all his future, and Evergrande's championship?
China's U20 team thrashed Japan 5-1, setting their sights on their first continental championship!
Japan's youth national team was completely crushed by Su Hao, who is now aiming for his first professional championship!
The Japanese national youth team coach frankly admits that Suarez is indeed the top midfielder in Asia, bar none!
CCTV5 has officially announced that it will broadcast the AFC U-19 Championship final live the day after tomorrow; rumors suggest that advertising slots during halftime have already fetched astronomical prices!
Su Hao never expected that a match he played against a weak opponent in the Asian Youth Championship, which was supposed to be quite easy, would cause such a huge stir in China.
Even before the finals began, Yili, the company he endorses, called Su Hao.
They said that after the finals, as long as Su Hao could appear on camera with any Yili product, Yili would pay him a special contribution award of about one million yuan!
Oh shit!
Su Hao knew exactly what Yili meant.
These wicked capitalists are trying to get free advertising on CCTV.
How could Su Hao possibly let something like this go?
Of course, one million is too little. People sell ads for several million for just a few seconds during halftime. My shot, which is definitely the focus of attention, should be worth at least two hundred!
However, it was this very phone call where Su Hao personally argued with Yili that made him miss Raiola or Mendes once again.
If either of these two were involved, Yili would have to bleed money out of their pocket for this close-up ad.
Even before the match started, all Chinese people were already looking forward to China's first official major tournament championship.
South Korean fans, as the host country, were naturally dissatisfied.
It's important to understand that over the years, China's most notorious fear of South Korea has extended far beyond the national team level.
In national youth and junior teams—any national team with "national" in their name—South Korea has consistently outperformed China.
Although the Chinese U19 team did indeed dominate and win every match to reach the final in this Asian U19 Championship thanks to Su Hao's emergence, the South Korean U19 team remained undefeated!
With neither side willing to back down, a massive online flame war naturally erupted between fans of the two countries.
2013 7 Month 15 Day.
The Asian Youth Championship final is about to kick off at 8 p.m.
Because Evergrande also ended their league campaign with a resounding victory.
Therefore, most of the players in Guangzhou Evergrande's first team, including Zheng Zhi, have arrived at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.
Putting everything else aside, they should at least be there to cheer for Su Hao in his championship match!
Moreover, it wasn't just Zheng Zhi and his Evergrande contingent; even the current national team coach, Fu Bo, along with Hao Junmin and other non-Evergrande national team members, appeared in the VIP stands.
In short, the AFC U-19 Championship final brought together all the big names in Chinese football, including Xu Jiaying, who brought his general manager to the event.
Old Xu didn't have any other thoughts. He just wanted to see live how Su Hao, a top midfielder produced by Evergrande, would lead the national youth team to break the history of China's men's football team having zero honors!
Of course, Lao Xu has also prepared a special award for Su Hao to win glory for the country.
Not only is there a cash reward, but Lao Xu has also prepared a luxurious, fully-furnished super-large flat that will soon be launched in Beijing!
"Zhuang Dian'er Tai!"
"Zhuang Dian'er Tai!"
"This is a live broadcast of the final of the 2013 AFC U-19 Men's Championship!"
"China's U-20 national team vs. South Korea's U-20 national team!"
"The players from both teams are already standing in their respective halves of the field!"
"The referee is checking his watch too!"
"Beep!!!"
"With the referee's whistle, the match officially begins!"
"First, let's look at the starting lineups for both sides!"
"The starting goalkeeper for the Chinese national youth team, dressed in traditional white and attacking from left to right: Zhou Yuchen!"
"."
"On the other side, the starting goalkeeper for the South Korean youth team, wearing their traditional red jerseys, is Lee Tae-hyeok!"
"Defenders: Lim Seung-kyum, Park Jae-woo, Kim So-yeon, Park Min-kyu!"
Midfielders: Kim Hyun-wook, Seol Tae-soo, Kim Seung-joo, Kim Gun-hee!
"Two forwards: Xu Mingyuan and Huang Xichan!"
Because CCTV specifically secured the live broadcast rights, Huang Lei once again sat in his familiar commentary booth and began his signature style of praising Su Shi during this period.
"Faced with the Chinese team, which had already proven its strong attacking power in previous matches, the South Korean youth team still fielded a more attack-oriented 4-4-2 formation!"
"It's obvious that the South Korean youth team wants to play an attacking game against the Chinese team on their home turf!"
"But in my opinion, the South Korean team simply doesn't recognize Su Hao at all."
"They can go toe-to-toe with the Dutch national team, but now they're playing against a youth team that can't even get a starting spot in the K-League."
In the commentary booth, Lao Huang began to talk about how invincible Su Hao was in this competition.
Just as Huang Jianxiang described, Su Hao on the field dribbled the ball and charged quickly toward the South Korean team's half.
On the South Korean side, as Su Hao made a high-speed breakthrough, the two South Korean forwards, Seo Myung-won and Hwang Hee-chan, were already pressing towards Su Hao from the left and right respectively.
Faced with a double attack, Su Hao did not blindly try to dribble past them. Instead, he tilted his body to the side and pushed with his right foot.
Su Hao passed the ball directly to Tang Shi, who was following up on the right wing.
"Don't rush, pass the ball back!"
After more than ten days of training and competition, Su Hao had already figured out the true level of his teammates.
Take Tang Shi, the current starting right winger for the national youth team, for example. He has no problem with speed, but his biggest flaw is that he doesn't lift his head much when dribbling.
He always tends to lead the team single-handedly, only to be forced into a corner and have his own team's attack ended.
However, what made Su Hao somewhat relieved was that although his teammates were not very good, at least they were obedient!
He didn't need to say a word; whatever he shouted, his teammates would obediently do it.
"Yan Zihao, move forward and continue!"
"Spin it quickly, get it spinning!"
"Don't panic, keep turning!"
"Yes! Xiang Hantian, keep sharing!!!"
At the Seoul World Cup Stadium.
A scene that surprised many people unfolded.
Amidst Su Hao's shouts, the Chinese team, which could only make a few simple passes before being shut down by the opponent's high-pressure pressing, was able to play a smooth and wide-ranging game against the South Korean players!
Yes, even with the South Korean players relentlessly pressing in the attacking third, the Chinese team players were still able to easily deliver the ball to the most suitable position.
One kick!
Two feet!
Three legs!
Seventeen kicks!
Eighteen kicks!
"That conduction was truly beautiful!"
"Putting everything else aside, these few big wins have definitely boosted the confidence of the national youth team players!"
Is the Chinese team playing a possession-based game?
Although this passing and control relied on Su Hao's voice command and Su Hao's various backups.
But no matter what, this is still a passing and control game!
When the Chinese team adopted this tactic, Park Yong-ho, the South Korean head coach who had been full of confidence, suddenly lost his mind.
Ashley!
You should know that Park Yong-ho has been working day and night for the past few days to devise the latest strategy for double-teaming Su Hao.
But now?
Su Hao is like an eel, darting around everywhere. How can he possibly surround him?
Park Yong-ho was momentarily at a loss, and on the field, the South Korean youth team players, whose tactical execution was the best in Asia, were also at a loss for how to respond.
Before the match, they had been training to have three players double-team Su Hao.
that's it!
After the Chinese team had passed the ball around for more than twenty times against the South Koreans who were still not used to it, Su Hao, who had finally found the weakness in the South Korean team, delivered a through pass without thinking!
It's right on the left side of the South Korean team's midfield and backfield.
Su Hao used the outside of his right foot to curl a super arc ball with a near semi-circular trajectory.
After the ball passed South Korean youth team players Park Jae-woo and Kim So-yeon, it finally landed steadily at the feet of Tang Shi, who was blindly charging forward.
With a passing rating of 89, Tang Shi didn't even need to adjust his footwork; he simply pushed the ball towards the lower right edge with his right foot!
In an instant!
After deflecting, the football sped towards the South Korean goal.
In front of the South Korean goal, although South Korean goalkeeper Lee Tae-hyeong was prepared, he simply didn't have a single moment to react to such a close-range shot.
In the end, Li Taixi could only instinctively fall to the ground, watching the football fly past him and finally crash steadily into the net behind him.
"Beep!!!"
The referee blew his whistle and pointed to the center circle with both hands, indicating that the goal was valid.
"pretty!!!"
"The ball went in!!!"
"1:0!!!"
"Less than 5 minutes into the game!"
"The young Chinese players knocked on the door of the South Koreans."
"A full twenty-four passes, and in the end it was Su Hao who helped the Chinese team take the lead with an absolutely surgical rainbow assist!"
"What did I say?"
What did I say before the match?
"You Koreans think you can defend against Su Hao by sheer numbers? You're dreaming!"
"The gap between the senior team and the youth team is already huge. Now, facing Su Hao, a top-class midfielder in the Chinese Super League who can even provide assists against the Dutch team, the South Korean youth team simply can't do anything!"
"A goal in less than five minutes, and Su Hao was just playing a playmaking role. If Su Hao were to do it himself, he would be much better!"
"hey-hey!"
-
[Damn, Su Hao's ability is absolutely phenomenal! Look at those twenty-odd passes, Su Hao received almost 10 of them all by himself. The Korean players didn't even get a touch of the ball! It's a sure thing! This final looks like a sure thing!]
-
[Haha, a goal right at the start! This half is definitely going to be a high-scoring affair. Su Hao, you're my dad! From now on, I'll put your picture on display at home and worship you. Haha, this feels so good!]
-
[Ah, that feels so good! I'm still out there arguing with those damn Koreans. They were laughing at us for not making it to the World Cup, but now, with one goal, they're all silent!]
-
[A bloodbath is necessary; we must bloodbath those Koreans! But my only worry is whether those damn Koreans will try to sabotage Su Hao again. Su Hao was targeted terribly in the previous match between Guangzhou Evergrande and Jeonbuk!]
-
[Hehe, I was worried the Koreans wouldn't try to sabotage Su Hao. The last one who did is still recovering from a concussion. If another one tries today, who knows what Su Hao might do!]
The goal was scored on the very first attack of the game.
The Chinese fans in the stands were naturally thrilled!
For so many years, whenever we Chinese football fans have played against South Korea, we have never been happy.
This is great! We can finally enjoy a comfortable match where the Koreans are getting thoroughly beaten!
Our own fans are happy, but the South Korean fans, who have an overwhelming numerical advantage, are not.
They conceded a goal to the Chinese right at the start of the game, which is the last thing they wanted to see.
As a result, many fans started yelling and cursing at Park Yong-ho, who was still anxiously rearranging his formation on the sidelines.
However, Park Yong-ho was busy figuring out how to break through the Chinese team's unpredictable passing and control at the moment, and he didn't have time to listen to his own fans' curses and insults.
The celebration lasted only 3 minutes.
The match restarted with the referee's whistle!
Conceding a goal so quickly on their home turf prompted the South Korean youth team to immediately launch a frantic counterattack.
In a 4-4-2 formation, the first move by the South Korean team was for Kim Seung-ju to pass the ball to Kim Gun-hee on his right flank.
The South Korean youth team has consistently adopted a style of play that involves leading the attack down the flanks and then returning to the center to choose the final direction of the attack.
As always, the South Koreans started playing solo demolition on the flanks.
To be honest, apart from Su Hao, the individual combat ability of this South Korean youth team is indeed superior to that of our own youth team.
It didn't take long for Kim Gun-hee to shake off Chen Zhechao, the left winger of the Chinese national youth team, who was blocking his way.
However, just as he got past Chen Zhechao and was thinking of passing the ball to the middle and then making a forward run to split the Chinese team's defense!
Kim Gun-hee, who was dribbling the ball, suddenly noticed that the annoying number 10 of the Chinese team had inexplicably appeared in his passing lane.
Moreover, that position is precisely the best position to block Seol Tae-soo and Kim Seung-joo, their two midfielders.
Ashley!
Seeing that he couldn't get the ball back to the middle, Kim Gun-hee had no choice but to go it alone.
just
In that brief moment of delay, both the left-back and left-winger from the Chinese team had already pounced on him.
Kim Gun-hee could manage against one person, but what about being attacked from both sides?
Ultimately, Kim Gun-hee's loss of possession brought the South Korean team's attack to an abrupt halt!
Conversely, the Chinese team, having made the interception, immediately launched a fierce counterattack!
As the only key passing point for the entire national youth team, Su Hao was the target of Chen Zhechao's interception, who naturally passed the ball to Su Hao's feet immediately after receiving it.
As for Su Hao, long before Chen Zhechao passed the ball, South Korean midfielders Seol Tae-soo and Kim Seung-joo had already anticipated and rushed in front of Su Hao.
Although there's a gambling element to it!
However, Xue Taizhu and Jin Chengzhu made the right bet, as the Chinese team still intended for Su Hao to deliver the decisive first pass in the counterattack.
The two formed a defensive pincer attack.
Although neither of them was sure if they could actually take the ball back from Su Hao, at least the Chinese team's counterattack should be over.
However.
Soon, it was Xue Taizhu and Jin Chengzhu who... no!
A scene that left all the South Korean fans in the stands of the Seoul World Cup Stadium speechless unfolded before their eyes.
Yes!
On that field, the Chinese team's number 10 was clearly facing away from Xue Taizhu and Jin Chengzhu!
Without stopping the ball, he turned his back and used the toe of his right foot to flick the ball up.
That's all it took!
The football soared into the air, flying directly over the heads of Seol Tae-soo and Kim Seung-joo.
After lifting the ball, Su Hao twisted his waist sharply, broke free from the two defenders, and before the ball even hit the ground, he sent it flying with a powerful kick.
"Ouch!"
"Su Hao made a beautiful pass!"
"Isn't this just blatant mockery?"
"Su Hao!"
"He sent the ball out before it even hit the ground!"
"That direction!!!"
"Our Xiang Baixu!"
"pretty!!!"
"Xiang Baixu has completely outmaneuvered Kim Chuang-yeon, who was trailing behind the Korean team!!!"
"This is going to be a one-on-one situation!!!"
At the Seoul World Cup Stadium!
Su Hao drew a beautiful arc in the air with his right foot.
Xiang Baixu, who sprinted and caught up with the ball, simply stretched out his right foot and dribbled the ball directly into the South Korean penalty area.
"Lee Tae-hye, who just conceded a goal, has come out to attack!!!"
"Xiang Baixu!"
Before Li Taixi could get close, he immediately fired a right-footed shot!
"The football sailed past Lee Tae-ho and headed straight for the corner of the goal!"
"pretty!!!"
"pretty!!!"
"The ball went in!!!"
"The ball went in!!!"
"The second one!!!"
"2:0!!!"
"2:0!!!"
Accompanied by Huang Jianxiang's signature roar.
The thousands of Chinese fans who had traveled all the way from the city immediately jumped up excitedly again.
On the field, Xiang Baixu, who scored the goal, excitedly ran towards Su Hao.
Not only Xiang Baixu, but all the other national youth team members also surrounded their on-field captain, Su Hao.
Given the absolute, cross-dimensional difference in strength, these national youth team members, who were even older than Su Hao, had long regarded Su Hao as their spiritual pillar.
Moreover, in the eyes of these young players on the national youth team, their generation is definitely the luckiest. Putting aside everything else, just winning the Asian Youth Championship is an achievement that no domestic player can even dream of in their lifetime.
"Damn it! You bunch of sons of bitches! Why couldn't you keep an eye on number 10!"
"Huh!!!"
"What I said during the training these past few days!"
"."
It was only fifteen minutes into the game.
They conceded two goals in a row.
Under these circumstances, South Korean head coach Park Yong-ho really couldn't sit still this time.
In a country like South Korea, where hierarchy is extremely rigid, it's commonplace for this head coach to verbally abuse these young players, let alone slap them.
If it weren't for all these cameras pointing at him, Coach Park would probably have already started giving his players a tactical lecture.
However, this shouting filled with profanities was not without effect.
At least in the subsequent matches, their players were noticeably more aggressive with their footwork.
It's like the 24th minute of the match.
Despite being surrounded by three South Korean midfielders, Su Hao easily found another opportunity to pass the ball, utilizing his physical advantages and agile dribbling skills.
However, before Su Hao could even pass the ball out, Kim Seung-ju, the South Korean midfielder responsible for marking Su Hao, immediately swept his leg across Su Hao's ankle.
Meanwhile, on Su Hao's side!
Although Su Hao was able to hold back and continue his attack after that kick, with Gao Lin's tireless instruction over this period, Su Hao naturally let out a scream and then rolled wildly on the grass, clutching his ankle that had been swept.
It wasn't that Su Hao was too cowardly to retaliate in person, but rather that in a final that was extremely important to the fans, the outcome of the match was the most crucial factor.
If he gets sent off because of his impulsiveness and loses the championship...
Who knows how the Koreans will laugh at him!
"Beep beep beep!!!"
As Su Hao collapsed to the ground with a scream, the referee naturally blew his whistle and rushed over.
Of course, all the young men of the national youth team, including the goalkeeper, also rushed over.
Their own leader and captain were taken down by the Koreans, so the young men naturally gritted their teeth and fought back against the Koreans.
"What the hell do you want?"
"Ashiba"
"Fuck your mother."
"Asi Bar"
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
The two teams of players collided directly.
Fortunately, the referee's ability to control the situation was adequate, and with the help of the assistant referees and others, the minor conflict was quickly resolved by the referee team.
The conflict was resolved, and the referee immediately showed a yellow card to Kim Seung-joo, who had just used a sweeping kick.
"Like I said before, Su Hao, you must take good care of yourself. We know very well what kind of players South Koreans are. Don't get injured over a single match!"
"Yes! That's true. In terms of sportsmanship, South Korean players have always been quite lacking. Judging from Kim Seung-joo's absolutely malicious foul just now, the South Korean youth team will likely continue to foul Su Hao in the upcoming matches!"
He Wei said with some concern from the commentary booth.
And the following matches unfolded exactly as He Wei had predicted.
From midfielders to forwards and even defenders.
Whenever Su Hao has the ball, the South Korean players always manage to interfere with him using various dirty tricks or even verbal provocations.
only!
Although the Koreans had used every underhanded tactic imaginable, Su Hao remained as calm and collected as ever.
He ignored the South Koreans' provocations and made no retaliatory move.
He continued to work hard, using his shouts to help the Chinese national youth team maintain its advantage over the South Korean team.
Moreover, in the 29th minute of the match!
After using feints to get rid of Kim Hyun-wook, Seol Tae-soo, and Kim Seung-joo, who were clinging to him like glue, Su Hao finally managed to escape.
Su Hao, who had broken into the heart of the South Korean penalty area, raised his right leg high and unleashed a stunning world-class goal.
"boom!!!"
There was an explosion.
The football, like a cannonball, shot directly at the unfortunate South Korean goalkeeper Lee Tae-hye again.
Faced with such a powerful shot, Li Taixi didn't even have time to make a save before watching the ball fly past his left side and slam into the net.
"Beep!!!"
The referee blew his whistle for the third time.
After scoring, Su Hao celebrated wildly on the field for the first time at the AFC U-19 Championship.
Yes!
Su Hao also has a fiery temper. If it weren't for the desire to bring back this trophy that the Chinese team had never won, he would have already given those damn Koreans a good beating.
"Relieve anger!"
"That goal was so satisfying!"
"Don't you Koreans like to play dirty tricks?"
"Come again!"
"3:0!"
"A 3-goal lead in 30 minutes!"
That's how you play!
"I'm going to pin you down and kick you like this!"
-
[Damn it, those damn Koreans, those bastards are really dirty-minded, look how they kicked Su Hao!]
-
[Sigh! Su Hao has really had a tough time. He was targeted by the South Koreans in the AFC Champions League, and now he's being harassed by them again in the AFC U-19 Championship. He's only 16 years old, it's really tough on him!]
-
However, I have a feeling that, given Su Hao's temper, he will definitely retaliate in the end. I reckon there's still a lot of time left in the competition, so Su Hao is holding back for now!
-
【Yeah, I feel the same way. It's like during the AFC Champions League, Su Hao held back until the very end before finally elbowing that Korean guy. I heard that guy is still in the hospital treating a concussion!】
-
[Haha, now that you mention it, I'm suddenly looking forward to how Su Hao will get revenge on the Koreans. That Kim Seung-joo, I'm definitely going to break his legs today!]
Three goals in 30 minutes.
The suspense of the match seemed to have ended completely with Su Hao's super long-range shot.
In the stands!
The more than 4 local South Korean fans, who initially cheered and showed their support, are now completely silent, as if their fathers have died.
Although they were indeed somewhat worried before the match started that their team would have a tough time.
But they really didn't expect that their team would be scored 3 times by the Chinese team, which they have always looked down on, in less than 30 minutes!
And the most desperate thing is...
Before the match, countless media outlets were warning the South Korean team to be wary of China's number 10 header, that 1.91-meter-tall oddball, but he hadn't even started using him on his own team yet!
It seems that what we feared most has come to pass.
As Su Hao finished celebrating, he just as the South Korean fans had feared, and charged straight into the South Korean penalty area.
41th minute of the match!
Su Hao used his dribbling skills to transition the ball from the middle to the right wing, and then quickly broke into the South Korean penalty area.
Upon receiving the ball, Tang Shi saw her captain raise his right hand to ask for it, and without hesitation, she sent the ball into the South Korean penalty area with her right foot.
Forehead.
Tang Shi's passing quality wasn't very good.
But this was not a problem for Su Hao at all.
Even now, he is surrounded by two South Korean center-backs!
First, he used his body to push away Kim So-yeon, the South Korean center-back who was standing behind him, and then swung his arm to throw Park Jae-woo, who was dragging on him, away!
Beneath Su Hao's powerful 86-point frame, the two slender, baseball-skinned guards watched him leap high into the air, seemingly powerless to resist!
He headed the ball powerfully towards the goal.
"Beep!"
This was the fourth time the referee had blown the whistle to confirm a goal in the first half.
"Pretty!"
"pretty!!!"
"The ball is in!"
"the fourth!"
"A header from Su Hao!"
"4:0!"
"There's no suspense anymore!"
Four goals in the first half!
"The Chinese team is on fire!"
With Su Hao scoring China's fourth goal.
The tens of thousands of South Korean fans in the stands could no longer sit still!
They came to the stadium to watch their team be crowned champions; how could they possibly continue playing under such circumstances?
From one by one, to eventually large swaths!
South Korean home fans began a large-scale walkout.
Before long, the Seoul World Cup Stadium, which could originally accommodate nearly 50,000 fans, suddenly became empty.
"Go China!"
"Go China!"
"Go China!!!"
From that moment on, the only sound in the entire Seoul World Cup stadium was this one that was most familiar to all Chinese people.
Halftime.
The South Korean team's locker room was constantly filled with various roars and unidentified slapping sounds.
Moreover, after halftime, South Korean coach Park Yong-ho played all his cards.
After bringing on one striker and two attacking midfielders.
The South Korean team has started using a desperate 4-3-3 formation!
However, it was just like what Su Hao had encountered before at the Asian Youth Championships.
Even the combined attack of two people couldn't stop Su Hao; now he's relying on just one person!
Su Hao naturally took complete control of the entire midfield without any pressure.
49th minute of the match!
After the South Korean team's relentless forward press failed to produce a goal, Su Hao seized a quick counter-attack opportunity and passed the ball to Chen Zhechao, who was unmarked on the left wing.
Su Hao originally planned to give Chen Zhechao, his little brother who always called him Brother Hao, a goal or something.
But unexpectedly, this guy insisted on letting Su Hao put on a hat-trick first, and then passed the ball back to him when the goal was almost open.
Push with your right foot!
Su Hao easily put the ball into the South Korean goal for the third time.
5: 0!
57th minute of the match!
It was Su Hao's perfect 1v2 in midfield again. After passing the ball to the wing, Su Hao rushed into the penalty area, overpowering Park Jae-woo and Kim Chuang-yeon, who had been completely crippled by Su Hao.
With his signature header, he sent the ball into the top corner of the goal for the fourth time.
6: 0!
The South Korean players were completely devastated!
It was precisely under this complete emotional breakdown that the South Korean team's actions became increasingly aggressive!
The 64th minute of the game.
Su Hao had clearly passed the ball, but South Korean right winger Kim Gun-hee still kicked Su Hao's ankle hard.
Because he had previously received a yellow card during a counter-attack by the Chinese team, his second yellow card resulted in a red card, and Kim Gun-hee was sent off.
After getting up, Su Hao was furious!
He clearly felt the time was right and the game was in the bag, so why did he send Kim Gun-hee off?
Left with no other option, Su Hao could only turn his attention to other South Korean players.
However, before Su Hao could retaliate, his younger brother started a fight first.
70th minute of the match!
South Korean striker Seo Myung-won had just received the ball when Tang Shi, who had been well-fed by Su Hao for the past ten days, shoved an elbow into Seo Myung-won's nose.
With that elbow strike, Tang Shi received a red card.
The two teams, already brimming with anger, immediately clashed.
Although there was no serious fighting, the referee still had to show nearly five yellow cards before he could control the situation on the field.
only!
Even though the referee had clearly stated his intended rulings, the disgruntled Korean player still made various underhanded moves around Su Hao.
75th minute of the match!
He was the only player on the South Korean team who did not receive a card.
Hwang Hee-chan!
This talented striker, hailed as the future successor to Son Heung-min in the South Korean squad, is currently just an unknown figure in Pohang Steelers' U18 team.
Seemingly to prove to the South Korean citizens in the stands that he was no coward either, Hwang Hee-chan, while defending Su Hao, also kicked Su Hao, just like his senior.
then
Yellow card. Hwang Hee-chan patted the Korean flag on his chest to the few remaining South Korean fans in the stands with a smug look on his face.
Well, with Hwang Hee-chan's kick, the game finally entered the final ten minutes or so of garbage time.
After holding it in for almost the entire show, Su Hao finally stopped pretending.
Then, during the South Korean team's attacking moment.
Without hesitation, Su Hao delivered a powerful scissor kick to Huang Xican, the player with the best future prospects on the national youth team.
The 1.91-meter-tall giant clamped his intimidatingly long legs together!
"Beep!!!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"
The referee's whistle blew almost simultaneously with Hwang Hee-chan's scream.
After hearing a crisp cracking sound, Su Hao turned around and walked off the court without seeking recognition or praise.
Behind him was still that bright red name tag that Su Hao was most familiar with.
But in the stands!
The thousands of Chinese fans who had traveled from afar did not blame Su Hao at all.
On the contrary, these Chinese fans even felt a sense of joy at finally seeing you!
"Su Hao!"
"Su Hao!"
"Su Hao!!!"
The fans chanted Su Hao's name loudly.
The only one who looked somewhat pitiful was Hwang Hee-chan, who was lying on the ground clutching his leg and screaming in pain.
-
[Haha! I knew it! Su Hao was definitely holding back. That kick, tsk tsk tsk, it was really ruthless. But I have to admit, watching that Korean get tackled like that, I felt really good!]
-
[Poor Hwang Hee-chan, he took the blame for the whole team's mistakes. Su Hao's kick was really hard!]
-
[Pah! What pitiful person? You don't know, Hwang Hee-chan is recognized by the Korean media as the strongest rising star of the '95 batch. Su Hao is definitely doing this so that we will have one less opponent in the future.]
-
[Sigh, even though that's what they say, I still feel sorry for Hwang Hee-chan. Although Koreans may not be very polite on the football field, we are a nation of etiquette and should treat others with respect.]
-
[Screw your talk of winning people over with virtue! The last guy who tried to win people over with virtue, Lei Jun, had his whole family killed!]
-
[Haha! This guy's really funny, even bringing up Lei Laohu!]
Accompanied by Su Hao's absolutely brutal sliding tackle.
The young men on the court seemed to be frightened by Hwang Hee-chan's miserable appearance.
While anger can overcome reason, when real wails of pain occur, reason seems to regain control of the body once again.
For the next ten minutes or so, with both teams playing with nine players each, there were no more alarming fouls.
After all, the Asian Youth Championship only lasts a few minutes; if it ends up like Hwang Hee-chan's...
No one can guarantee that this Asian Youth Championship might force him to retire early!
Time slowly slipped away amidst the two teams' ineffective passes.
When the game came to a close!
Huang Jianxiang, who was in the commentary booth, was so excited that he stood up.
Not only Huang Jianxiang, but also the thousands of Chinese fans in the stands excitedly raised their hands in advance, quietly waiting for the final whistle that they had been waiting for for so many years!
"Time is down to the last ten seconds!"
"The referee is checking his watch too!"
"10!"
"9!!!"
"8!!"
"."
"1!!!"
As Huang Jianxiang counted down from the commentary booth.
The referee also blew the final whistle the moment the clock hit zero.
"The match is over!"
"The match is over!"
"we won!"
"China's National Youth Team!"
"They thrashed the South Korean youth team 6-0 in the final!"
"China won!"
"champion!!!"
"With this magnificent 6-0 rout!"
"The Chinese national youth team has won the 2013 AFC U-19 Championship!!!"
"Since the 1985 Asian Youth Championship!"
"For a full 28 years, no Chinese men's football team at any level has won a championship in any continental or higher competition!"
"28 years!"
"A full 28 years!"
"We've waited 28 years for this Asian Youth Championship title!"
"These 28 years!"
"From the national team... *sigh*"
As soon as the referee blew his whistle, Huang Jianxiang in the commentary booth immediately began his most frantic roar.
And as they talked...
Huang Jianxiang's eyes also welled up with tears!
He has been a football commentator for 19 years since 1994.
Over the past 19 years, what he has witnessed most often are the national football team's "black three minutes" or their crushing defeats and the moment when the score is tallied.
at last!
After commentating on such a long, long national football team match, he finally got to hear this sentence!
He had wanted to shout this sentence out loud for many years!
"Team China!" "They're the champions!!!"
On the field!
Similarly, after the referee blew the whistle, all the players of the national youth team, including the head coach, rushed onto the field in a frenzy.
Including Su Hao, who had been waiting in the players' tunnel.
Everyone rushed onto the field and hugged each other.
What does it feel like to win the championship?
To be honest, Su Hao didn't know this before coming to the Asian Youth Championship.
Especially when wearing this red national team jersey.
However, it all started the moment I saw the entire team start running.
Su Hao finally understood why the man named Zheng Daise was so moved and shed tears after the national anthem resounded in the World Cup stadium!
"Captain, we are the champions!"
"we are the champion!!!"
"Haha, am I dreaming? We really won the championship? And we're going to be able to go to the World Youth Championship next year?"
"We are truly the champions!!!"
All the players on the national youth team hugged each other like crazy.
And just now.
As Su Hao rushed onto the field, the reporters who had been pointing their cameras at him all followed in his footsteps.
There's nothing we can do about it; Su Hao set far too many records at this World Junior Championships that are absolutely unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated.
He scored a whopping 17 goals and provided 10 assists!
Who would have thought that the data that would take almost a long league season to achieve was actually created by Su Hao in a total of seven cup matches.
With such incredible statistics, Su Hao naturally swept all the individual awards at this Asian Youth Championship except for the goalkeeper.
Golden Boot at the Asian Youth Championship!
MVP of the Asian Youth Championship!
At the awards ceremony.
Even the then-AFC head coach, after awarding Su Hao the two individual trophies, insisted on chatting with him for several minutes, saying that Su Hao was already the most promising new star in Asia, and hoped that he could become Asia's first truly world-class star.
10 p.m. local time in Seoul.
After the individual awards and the runner-up trophy for the South Korean team were presented, the most important part, the champion's award ceremony, followed.
As the captain!
Su Hao naturally stood at the front and accepted the gleaming gold Asian Youth Championship medal.
Holding the trophy, Su Hao slowly bent down, just like he had seen on TV.
Waiting for the live DJ to start the music in English.
It was right after that popular song reached its climax!
"We are the Champions!"
"We are the Champions"
Su Hao raised the trophy high in his hand.
With a bang, countless golden confetti burst out from both sides of the podium.
As for Su Hao's teammates around him.
These young people, all under 20, also unleashed their greatest cry amidst the rousing music!
Asian Youth Championship Winner!
Perhaps for Japanese and South Korean players, it's just a useless thing.
But for the Chinese men's football team, which hasn't won any team honors for 28 years!
This championship is just too, too important!
[Damn it, I've waited over twenty years, and I've finally won a championship! Even if it's just the Asian Youth Championship, it's enough, really enough!]
-
The first time I remember watching the national team play was during the 02 World Cup, which my school broadcast when I was in elementary school. We watched three matches, and China lost all three. Back then, I joined my classmates in criticizing the Chinese team, saying they were terrible. Turns out, that was our last moment of glory! But today, I see hope again!
-
[Su Hao is awesome! This individual record at the AFC U-19 Championship will probably never be broken: 17 goals and 10 assists, although most of them were scored against the Vietnamese and Burmese.]
-
With the AFC U-19 Championship title secured, Su Hao is very likely to win the AFC Champions League, the Chinese Super League, and the FA Cup this year. That would make him a four-time champion! Is it possible he could directly win the Asian Footballer of the Year award?
-
[Wow! Now that you mention it, it actually seems quite possible. A treble winner plus the FIFA U-20 World Cup MVP, and with no major tournaments this year, Su Hao really does have a good chance of winning the Asian Footballer of the Year award!]
-
Winning the Asian Footballer of the Year award at 16 years old—that's probably a record no one can break!
China defeats South Korea 6-0 to win the AFC U-19 Championship; Su Hao wins both the Golden Boot and MVP awards!
China's U-19 national team makes history, winning the AFC U-19 Championship with a perfect record!
South Korea suffers a humiliating defeat; the Korea Football Association has dismissed its national youth team coach, Park Yong-ho!
South Korean player Hwang Hee-chan suffered a fractured ankle and is expected to be out for four months. The Korea Football Association has filed an appeal with the Asian Football Confederation regarding this matter.
The Chinese Football Association sent a congratulatory message to the national youth team and announced a 300 million yuan bonus for them.
A massacre, a champion!
That night, the Chinese national youth team naturally became the object of praise for everyone in China, displaying heroic qualities.
As the team captain, Su Hao, acting like an elder brother, treated the team to a nice meal at Seoul's most upscale Western restaurant for these young people who weren't earning much money.
Su Hao even patted his chest and insisted that the shopkeeper serve each person a serving of caviar!
Moreover, right after Su Hao returned to the hotel, Evergrande Football Club posted a photo of Su Hao holding a trophy on its official website and announced that Evergrande had prepared a 200 million RMB award for Su Hao to win glory for the country.
This news has just come out!
Evergrande's grandeur and extravagance have once again swept the internet.
2013 7 Month 16 Day.
Su Hao, captain of the Chinese national youth team, returned to Beijing with the Asian Youth Championship trophy in his hands.
It was at Beijing Capital International Airport.
Nearly a thousand fans gathered there early on.
When Su Hao and the trophy appeared in the fans' sight.
"Su Hao!"
"Su Hao!"
"Su Hao!!!"
The deafening shouts echoed throughout the entire Beijing airport.
Moreover, this time, it wasn't just Su Hao who received the warm welcome from the fans.
Every member of the national youth team, even those substitutes who didn't play many times, received enthusiastic support and flowers from the fans.
After interacting with fans at the airport for about half an hour, the young men of the national youth team finally boarded the bus and headed to the Football Association headquarters.
As arranged by the Chinese Football Association, the association headquarters will hold a special award ceremony today to celebrate the national youth team's victory.
just
Everyone else went, but Su Hao, who had to participate in the Chinese Super League match the day after tomorrow, asked team leader Wang Feng for leave and then boarded the private plane that Xu Jiaying had arranged in advance to return to Guangzhou.
The Football Association's award ceremony?
The kind where dozens of people split three million?
And you have to sit in the audience and listen to the Football Association officials give their first, second, and third points of thanks, and so on.
Su Hao was too lazy to suffer that pain.
Besides, Lao Xu has already held a special award ceremony for himself on the top floor of the Evergrande Hotel to present the "Winning Glory for the Country" award.
According to Zhi Ge, there will also be a professional performance by a song and dance troupe at this awards ceremony!
There's money to be made, and the shows are really exciting.
Who the hell wants to go to that place!
Su Hao waited happily on the top floor of the Evergrande Hotel for the award ceremony that Evergrande had specially arranged for him.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, inside the Arsenal Football Club office building in London, England.
Professor Wenger, on the other hand, was sitting at his desk with a worried expression.
"Is Real Madrid still not backing down?"
"Yes, Professor, fifty-five million. Real Madrid said they won't take Mesut without that price!"
Can we squeeze our budget any further?
"We have already put Park Chu-young, Djourou, and Armand Traore on the transfer list, but it seems that no team has made an offer yet. Even if we do manage to cash out these three players, we can only raise a maximum of 6000 million euros in transfer funds!"
Even if we sell everything, we can only raise 6000 million!
damn it!
Limited transfer funds.
Of course, the professor was already used to this situation, and it could even be said that this 6000 million was the most he could raise in recent years.
But the problem is...
The problem is that damn Real Madrid is insisting on paying 55 million.
If I used those 55 million to buy that dead guy Mesut, Su...
Su, whom he had been longing for for a very long time, would once again slip through his fingers.
Bayern Munich's offer of 8 million euros was not even worth considering, so they offered 5 million euros themselves.
Ha ha!
Moreover, the Chinese club over there has made it clear that Su Hao's transfer will be a 1 yuan transfer.
In the end, what matters in this transfer model?
Isn't it all about signing fees?
When he went to China to watch Suarez's match a while ago, Mendes sat next to him.
Although the two of them didn't discuss anything substantial.
But everyone knows what Mendes was there for.
Of course, if Mendes signs Su Hao, then I will still have a chance.
After all, Mendes is not a greedy person; he is most concerned about the players' future development and commercial value.
But the key issue is!
In China, he had also heard that the vampire Raiola had met with Su Hao in private.
That's Raiola!
The most hated agent by all clubs in European football, bar none!
If Su Hao ultimately chooses Raiola as his agent.
Wenger could even picture Raiola standing in front of him, clutching his enormous belly, giving him an ultimatum!
"Professor! Professor?"
The call for help interrupted Wenger's thoughts.
"Ok?"
"How should we respond to Real Madrid?"
Let's put it aside for now!
"But...you know, we're not the only ones pursuing Mesut. If..."
"Okay! Okay, I know! Put it down for now!"
The usually mild-mannered professor lost his temper for once.
Seeing his professor's furrowed brows, the assistant wisely left.
The office has returned to calm!
After a while.
Seemingly recovering from his slight agitation, the professor stood up, rubbed his stiff lower back, and then sat down again to turn on his computer.
During this time, he never gave up paying attention to Su Hao.
He even watched Su Hao's matches at the Asian Youth Championship.
It has to be said that it's like a man's first love.
The professor nowadays likes Su Hao more and more the more he watches Su Hao's videos.
That ability to anticipate the opponent's attacking methods on the field, the calm and composed handling, even those exquisite passes, powerful long-range shots, and strong headers.
The professor couldn't contain his desire to see how this 16-year-old would perform under his modifications at his Emirates Stadium.
However.
All fantasies were shattered by Mesut's outrageous transfer fee of 5500 million euros.
Do not!
Think again and again.
Wenger still made a decision.
He can't afford to miss out on Su Hao like he missed out on Cristiano Ronaldo!
He has to do something; if Mesut can't get him, he can buy someone else.
But what if you miss out on Su!
Perhaps he will never be able to forgive himself, not even until the moment he closes his eyes for the last time.
With that in mind, the professor dialed his assistant's number.
"Tell Real Madrid, a maximum of 40 million is our bottom line!"
Twenty million euros!
This is the professor's bold gamble on his future.
Although the professor knew that perhaps 20 million wouldn't be the highest bid.
However, he can still sell players when the winter break arrives!
He can continue to sacrifice everything for his future!
Wenger gambled everything, while Su Hao, completely unaware, happily received the 200 million yuan "bringing glory to the country" award and then threw himself back into Evergrande's league campaign.
July and August.
During these two months.
With only the league title to focus on, Guangzhou Evergrande continues their unstoppable winning streak.
7 month 31 day.
In the 18th round of the Chinese Super League, Guangzhou Evergrande once again faced their formidable rival, Beijing Guoan, at their home stadium.
Guangzhou fans, who had been waiting for months, finally got their chance to vent their anger.
Just like the fans of the Imperial Guards.
Whenever the DJ announces a name, Guangzhou fans immediately offer a warm greeting unique to Guangzhou.
"Beijing Guoan's No. 1 goalkeeper: Yang Zhi!"
"Damn it, old man!!!"
"Guoan No. 5, Xu Yunlong!"
"Damn it, old man!!!"
"."
A total of 11 people!
In addition, there were over 2000 Beijing Guoan fans in the stands who were still stubbornly shouting things like "idiot" and "moron."
Guangzhou Evergrande fans thoughtfully greeted Beijing Guoan with their most authentic greetings for a full 90 minutes.
And on the field!
Having been thwarted by Beijing Guoan at the Workers' Stadium, Guangzhou Evergrande naturally didn't let the proud and arrogant Imperial Guards off the hook.
Despite having all four star players in the starting lineup, Beijing Guoan, who were hoping to engage in an attacking battle with Guangzhou Evergrande, couldn't even last fifteen minutes before Evergrande breached their goal.
Su Hao and Conca executed a dream 2-3 run in the heart of Beijing Guoan's midfield!
Su Hao, who received the ball last, delivered a beautiful through pass to Elkeson.
Inside the penalty area, Elkeson, having received the ball, didn't even need to adjust his movements before sending the ball directly into the goal guarded by Yang Zhi with his right foot!
1: 0!
This goal marked the beginning of Guangzhou Evergrande's goal-scoring feast, but it also unveiled Beijing Guoan's most tragic defeat.
Just 8 minutes later.
Zhang Linpeng, who had made a run from the back, delivered a high-quality cross from the byline.
Su Hao leaped high and once again overpowered Guoan veteran Xu Yunlong, sending the ball into Guoan's net for the second time.
2: 0!
The 37th minute of the game.
Guangzhou Evergrande, having fully adopted a half-court attack and defense drill mode, made it 3-0 again with Conca's Su Hao-esque long-range shot!
51st minute of the second half!
This time it was Muriqui's signature solo run.
After using his speed to get past three Beijing Guoan defenders, Muriqui fired a low shot into the corner of the net.
4: 0!
The 67th minute of the game.
Zhao Xuri, who came on as a substitute, seemed to have blossomed again, unleashing a high-quality long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area.
5: 0!
They took a five-goal lead in less than seventy minutes.
Evergrande once again thoroughly humiliated the Imperial Guards.
And after this match.
Evergrande also relied on winning all three points to accumulate an astonishing 54 points.
As for Jiangsu Shuntian, which came in second place.
Their score is only 36 points.
Based on this gap, Evergrande may even create another history this season, a record that is absolutely impossible to break: winning the Chinese Super League title seven rounds in advance!
They utterly humiliated Beijing's national security team.
Evergrande has once again embarked on a delightful journey of crushing weaker opponents.
8 month 3 day.
Chinese Super League Round 19!
Guangzhou Evergrande will host Guizhou Renhe, a team that has already collapsed halfway through the season, with a completely reserve lineup.
Despite the absence of three key foreign players, Su Hao led the all-Chinese team to deliver a spectacular attacking performance that left Guangzhou Evergrande fans with nothing to criticize.
Ok!
It's said to be an all-substitute lineup.
However, Evergrande's substitutes are Sun Xiang, Zhao Xuri, Huang Bowen, Qin Sheng, and Yu Hanchao.
The team consisted entirely of substitutes who were also members of the national team.
4: 0!
This is how the match ended.
After the match, Guizhou Renhe's head coach also cried in front of reporters' cameras.
However, perhaps thinking of the previous person's 20 yuan fine, the Guizhou Renhe coach did not say much, but slammed the table and sighed three times before angrily leaving the seat!
8 month 12 day.
Chinese Super League Round 20!
Guangzhou Evergrande will face Dalian Aerbin, a team in the lower half of the league standings.
5: 1!
With all four star players on the field, Dalian Aerbin managed to score one goal against Guangzhou Evergrande, earning them considerable praise from domestic media after the match.
8 month 17 day.
Chinese Super League Round 21.
Guangzhou Evergrande, having rotated all their key players again, narrowly defeated Changchun Yatai, whom they had previously thrashed, 2-1!
After this match, Guangzhou Evergrande has increased their points to 64.
Jiangsu Sainty, ranked second, surprisingly failed to close the gap with Evergrande after suffering two draws.
Instead, they fell behind by as many as 4 points.
61 versus 39.
A full 22 points.
This means that as long as Evergrande wins both of the next two rounds...
Then Evergrande will win the Chinese Super League title this season with a full seven rounds to spare.
If Jiangsu Suning had unexpectedly lost their last match, Guangzhou Evergrande could very well have secured the championship as early as 22nd in the league.
After this analysis...
Guangzhou Evergrande fans are relieved.
However, before Evergrande secured the league title early, their most important AFC Champions League match of the season was to kick off ahead of schedule.
Just four days later, on August 21st.
The first round of the AFC Champions League quarterfinals between Guangzhou Evergrande and Lekhwiya will officially kick off at Tianhe Stadium.
On the evening of the 17th.
After the league ended, Su Hao finally had time to go home.
With the AFC U-19 Championship and the league games taking place recently, Su Hao hasn't been home for a long time.
As soon as she got home, Su Hao’s mother, who hadn’t seen her son in a long time, immediately gave him a big hug.
As for Old Su, he stood aside, pouting and secretly complaining about his beloved tigress.
Waiting for Su's mother to finish expressing her maternal love.
Su Hao naturally enjoyed another lavish family dinner prepared by his mother, who cooked for him all day long.
After eating and drinking his fill, Su Hao secretly slipped back to his room.
Over the past few dozen days, Su Hao was well aware that he should have accumulated a considerable amount of training and competition points.
In order to unleash a powerful burst of damage, Su Hao stubbornly refrained from adding any skill points.
After closing the door, Su Hao couldn't wait to enter his system.
【Host:?????】
【Country of Citizenship:? ? ? ? 】
[Age: 30 years old]
Occupation: Football player
[Team Played For: ? ? ? ? ? ?]
【honor:????】
[Personal Honors: ???]
Preferred position: ? ?
【个人能力:传球:89(95)、控球:81(89)、身体平衡:86(96)???????】
Sure enough, under the individual stats I had already unlocked—passing, ball control, and body balance—green "upgradeable" indicators appeared.
Without any hesitation.
Su Hao immediately clicked on all the "added" options.
Passing, the first stat you unlock, is already at a top level, and you can only add 1 point.
Other initial stats for 18-year-olds, such as ball control and body balance, which are unlocked using unlock cards, have been doubled.
After a series of quick actions, Su Hao's attributes were refreshed with a burst of golden light from the system.
【个人能力:传球:90(95)、控球:83(89)、身体平衡:88(96)???????】
That feels so good!
Seeing his passing score soar to 90, Su Hao couldn't wait to try it out in the game and see just how powerful this legendary passing skill, which was said to have truly put him in the ranks of top masters, really was.
And of course, there's the 88-point balance.
In the previous match against De Jong in the Netherlands, 86's physique actually put him at a slight disadvantage.
Su Hao had thought about it for a long time. He thought that his appearance and physique should be better than De Jong's, but in the actual confrontation, Su Hao embarrassingly discovered that his data-driven body was really just data.
Can't beat them on data
But things are different now. 88 is the dividing line between all the statistics of top-level players.
Su Hao was certain that if he were to face De Jong now, he could definitely dominate him in terms of physical confrontation alone.
The next day!
At Evergrande's training ground.
In preparation for the AFC Champions League three days later.
Su Hao also arrived early, at 7:30.
However, Zhang Linpeng, who had persisted with Su Hao for several months, suddenly stopped after seeing Su Hao.
Not only did Zhang Linpeng stop, but she also circled around Su Hao and used her hands to feel all the muscles on his body.
"Hey Xiaohao, don't you feel like you've gotten even bigger?"
Zhang Linpeng asked with some curiosity.
Su Hao suddenly felt a little guilty.
Saying
He just added 2 points last night. This is... this is a system-added point, and other people can see it?
"What's gotten into you again? We were together yesterday, how could I possibly get hard overnight?"
"Huh? What are you talking about? What do you mean 'stronger'? Zhang Linpeng, the captain has reminded you more than once not to talk about these unhealthy topics in front of Su Hao, who is a minor. You're a repeat offender. I'm going to report you to the captain!"
Zhang Linpeng was still doubting Su Hao's explanation when Qin Sheng, that old fool, couldn't help but think of something else after hearing the word "Zhuang".
"Fuck you! What the hell is going on in your head all day long? I have to say, Xiao Hao looks even stronger!"
"Alright, alright, you're right, aren't you!"
Evergrande is still the same Evergrande.
This bunch of rubbish is still a mess.
However, it was precisely this chaotic bunch of things that made Su Hao truly fall in love with this place, and he even felt a little reluctant to leave.
These days everyone's been shouting that Evergrande will win the championship ahead of schedule!
However, after hearing these words, Su Hao suddenly had a very strange feeling.
Yes!
If Evergrande wins the championship, then it will be time for me to say goodbye to Evergrande.
Three days passed quickly.
October 2013, 8!
The AFC Champions League quarter-finals have resumed.
Lehwiya from Qatar had arrived in Guangzhou three days earlier aboard his prince's ultra-luxury private jet.
Speaking of Lekhwiya, to be honest, they are the most financially powerful team among the AFC Champions League quarterfinalists.
Even Evergrande, known for its extravagant spending, is no match for Lekhwiya.
After all, the owner of Lekhwiya is Crown Prince Mimi.
Yes, her name is Mimi, and the crown prince behind her is her identity.
He is the fourth son of the Qatari king, who is a wealthy oil tycoon.
His wealth is therefore considerable.
However, although Crown Prince Mimi has plenty of money, the problem is that the AFC Champions League has a clear rule that only 3+1 foreign players can be fielded.
This completely shattered Lekhvia's dream of dominating Asia.
Otherwise, the owner of Mimi had considered buying 11 players from the top five leagues to win the AFC Champions League!
At seven o'clock in the evening.
Amidst a burst of wild cheers, the red bus carrying the entire Evergrande team finally slowly drove into the inner passage of Tianhe Stadium.
"Su Hao!"
"Su Hao!"
"Su Hao!!!"
Upon seeing the team bus, the fans naturally began chanting "Our Prince!" as always.
With Su Hao leading the national youth team to win the Asian Youth Championship, Su Hao's popularity in China is now basically on par with Yao Ming and Liu Xiang.
Moreover, this is only after Su Hao has achieved some results in the domestic league and the AFC Champions League.
If Su Hao transfers to one of the top five European leagues or even a top club and performs well.
With the added prestige of football, the world's most popular sport, Su Hao could easily surpass these two and become the highest-ranking and most prestigious sports star in China.
Of course, all of this will have to wait until later.
For Su Hao right now, the most important thing is to get past the AFC Champions League hurdle.
Pre-match press conference!
As always, Lekhwiya's head coach, Eric Gretz, was praising Marcello Lippi.
To be honest, the old man really doesn't want to attend this kind of ridiculous press conference anymore.
Not only was it devoid of substance, but all he heard were the same old fake compliments.
The old man knew very well that these head coaches who outwardly showed him respect were probably cursing him with all sorts of insults behind his back.
"Zhuang Dian'er Tai!"
"Zhuang Dian'er Tai!"
"This is a live broadcast of the 2013 AFC Champions League quarter-finals!"
Guangzhou Evergrande will host Qatari powerhouse Lekhwiya!
"The players from both teams are now in their respective halves of the field!"
"The referee is checking his watch too!"
"Beep!!!"
"With the referee's whistle!"
"The competition has officially begun!"
"First, let's look at the starting lineups for both sides!"
"Zeng Cheng, the starting goalkeeper for Guangzhou Evergrande, is wearing the traditional red jersey and attacking from left to right!"
"."
"Facing Lekhvia from West Asia, Lippi still fielded the 4-2-3-1 formation that Guangzhou Evergrande is most familiar with!"
"On the other side, Lekhvia's starting goalkeeper, Claude Amin, is attacking from right to left in his traditional yellow jersey!"
"Defensive line: Kingambu, Dame Traore, Bugera, Khaled Muftah!"
"Midfielders: Karim Boudiaf, Luis Martin, Nam Tae-hee, Yusuf Msakni, Ismail!"
"Lone striker: Sebastian!"
"Lekhwia Eric Gretz from Belgium has opted for a more forgiving 4-5-1 formation!"
Tianhe Stadium!
Amidst the frenzied roars of over 50,000 Evergrande fans in the stadium.
The AFC Champions League quarter-finals have finally begun.
After gaining possession first, Lekhwiya, a strong team from West Asia, controlled the ball for a while before launching a probing attack through the middle.
Nam Tae-hee!
This is Lekhwiya's current midfield core.
Although this guy looks like he's only 20 years old this year.
But this guy had actually been a first-team regular in Ligue 2 for two years.
Making his Ligue 1 debut at the age of 18 and becoming the youngest Asian player to appear in the league's history, Nam Tae-hee's resume alone is enough to prove his remarkable ability.
"It's coming!"
"Push straight down the middle!"
"Lekhwia still chose to pass the ball to his key player, Nam Tae-hee!"
"Gao Lin stepped forward to seize the opportunity!"
"Nam Tae-hee delivered a diagonal pass to the onrushing Louis Martin!"
"Two through one!"
"It's over!"
"Conca has been brought in!"
"A sudden stop!"
"Turn and flick the ball!"
"Wow, Nam Tae-hee's footwork is really good. These few moves clearly show that he has been trained in the top five leagues."
"high speed!"
"Nam Tae-hee is still dribbling the ball!"
"Both wingers are making runs!"
Lekhvia's advance was very rapid.
Before long, thanks to Nam Tae-hee's playmaking, the ball was brought into Guangzhou Evergrande's half.
however!
That is, after Nam Tae-hee brought the ball to this position.
Today, Su Hao, who was placed in the back position by Lippi, finally got to move up.
In the stands of Tianhe Stadium!
After Su Hao appeared on the live broadcast camera at the sidelines.
Before they even got close to Lekhwiya's so-called core player, the more than 50,000 die-hard Evergrande fans in the stands were already cheering loudly.
This sudden shout even startled the wealthy Qatari fans in the stands who were wearing white hats!
On the field.
It was amidst this sudden, resounding shout that Su Hao forced his way to Nam Tae-hee's side.
1v1!
In previous matches, Nam Tae-hee always chose the safest approach to advance.
But at this moment, Nam Tae-hee took small, quick steps and directly approached Su Hao.
As for the reason?
Naturally, Nam Tae-hee wanted to teach Su Ho a lesson for breaking the leg of his former good brother Hwang Hee-chan from their youth training days.
Nam Tae-hee, who had been a key midfielder in Ligue 1 for two years, never took Su Hao, a local player who had never played in one of the top five European leagues, seriously.
In his view, the big, dumb guy in front of him had more than five different traits.
Forehead?
Nam Tae-hee was still thinking about which most humiliating way to get rid of Su Hao.
Suddenly!
Suddenly everything went black and I collapsed onto the grass!
this.
"Wow! Beautiful!!!"
"Su Hao went straight for the snatch!"
"Whether it's the timing or the steal!"
"This is absolutely textbook perfect!"
"First, lower your center of gravity, then anticipate your opponent's movements!"
"pretty!!!"
"That was a beautiful interception!!!"
"It's coming!"
"Evergrande's counterattack!!!"
"Muriqui has already moved forward!"
"Elkeson has also started his run on the right wing!"
"Conca, follow up in the middle!!!"
"Evergrande's counterattack is coming!!!"
P.S.: Brothers! I've paid off yesterday's debts, the bonus chapter for monthly tickets, and today's guaranteed 10,000-word chapter!
Putting everything else aside, given Mianmian's explosive performance, please continue to cast your votes for her.
She can still write!
Mianmian is still alive!
I'm begging for your monthly votes!
