I'm 1.9 meters tall and weigh 200 pounds, can I pull the hem?

2015 12 Month 1 Day.

England U21 League.

Liverpool's youth team will face Aston Villa's youth team.

Even though the game was nearing its end, the young players on the field were still fighting hard.

The few audience members present cheered and shouted enthusiastically.

Since it's a youth team competition, its popularity is significantly lower than that of the Premier League.

Outside of the UK, the match garnered even less attention.

……

China, early morning.

A live stream from some unknown software.

"The game is now in the 75th minute, and the score is 2-0, with Liverpool's youth team in the lead."

"Brothers, check out the group number on the homepage, let's join the group and make some money together."

An amateur live streamer spoke with a non-standard Mandarin accent, his voice full of exhaustion from staying up all night.

The live stream's viewership was even lower than that of the Nordic League live stream next door.

There were only a dozen or so comments during the entire second half.

"Useless thing, lost it again!"

"Is Villa's striker an idiot? He just runs past people and then doesn't know what to do next."

"Adama Traoré, can you believe this guy came through Barcelona's youth academy?"

"No way, this guy's from La Masia?"

"Shouldn't La Masia's youth academy produce players who lack physical attributes but possess strong technique and awareness? How come he's doing the exact opposite?"

"You idiot, you charge like a bull and you think like a bull too."

"Not that smart."

"This Liverpool right-back is something else, that number 66."

"Indeed, one goal was an assist from a corner kick, and the other was a direct goal from a free kick. He's only 17 years old."

"Your footwork is amazing!"

"His name is Trent Alexander-Arnold, the future starting right-back for England!"

"Come on, this guy's defense is terrible. Chelsea's James is even younger than him, and his defense is miles ahead of his."

"Isn't LeBron James a basketball player?"

"I'm doomed, guys, I bought a flat ticket."

"Haha, that guy who bet on a draw clearly doesn't watch football. Aston Villa's senior team plays utterly awful in the Premier League..."

"Liverpool are hopeless, only scored two goals in half a day, and this idiot commentator is still betting on over 3.5..."

Upon seeing someone criticizing him in the live chat, the sleepy streamer immediately perked up.

The already non-standard Mandarin is now even more accented.

"Gan Lin, you idiot! Lin Bei recommended so many winning picks before, but you didn't follow along. Now you're complaining about one losing pick..."

Since the software didn't have any word blocking restrictions, viewers who started criticizing the streamer began arguing back and forth.

Others watched the game and enjoyed the entertainment, filling the live stream with a cheerful atmosphere.

……

The match is in its 80rd minute.

As the ball flew out of bounds, the fourth official on the sidelines raised the substitution sign.

A young man with an Asian face, wearing an Aston Villa jersey with the number 19, stood on the sidelines.

Everyone in the live stream was stunned.

Does Aston Villa have an Asian player?

Judging from their faces, they are clearly East Asian.

Is it from a small family or from Korea?

It can't be from China, can it?

The streamer who was just arguing with the audience also stopped.

"Wait a minute, guys, let me check the information."

"Young? Wait, why does he have a Chinese name? Liu Yang?"

"Wow, he's of Chinese descent!"

"He was with Arsenal before, and only transferred to Aston Villa in the summer."

"He got injured not long after arriving and has just returned to competition."

The previously empty bullet screen area suddenly became lively.

The fact that Aston Villa's number 19 player is of Chinese descent has sparked heated discussions.

"The future of the Chinese national football team is promising!"

"The Chinese national football team? Give me a break. They grew up in England; why would they get involved in your mess?"

"And he has already played for the England youth team."

"England keeps slipping up every year, the Three Lions, the European Chinese team!"

"But this kid is huge! He looks a head taller than that bald guy holding the sign."

"Shouldn't the person holding the sign on the sidelines be a beautiful woman? Why is it a bald old man?"

"That's something only seen at boxing matches."

……

The game continues.

Aston Villa's youth team was clearly at a disadvantage on the field.

Liverpool continued their siege in their own half.

Suddenly, many more people appeared in the live stream room.

The Nordic league match next door just ended, and when people heard that a player of Chinese descent was playing here, everyone came over to watch.

"Liu Yang? What position does he play?"

"Looks like an attacking midfielder; Aston Villa have substituted one of their midfielders."

"What's that big oaf doing? Taking a walk?"

"Are you blind? Didn't you see Aston Villa getting completely dominated? Liu Yang is an attacking player; he should be up front waiting to run counter-attacks!"

"With such a big build, can he even run?"

……

Arnold received the ball on the right wing and attempted another cross.

However, the ball was headed away by Aston Villa's center-back.

After a chaotic scramble in midfield, the ball came to Liu Yang's feet.

"Look, Liu Yang got the ball! Is this his first touch of the whole game?"

"However, the situation isn't good; their defensive midfielder and two center-backs have all closed in..."

The young anchor was so shocked that the rest of her sentence caught in her throat.

Three Liverpool youth team defenders formed a triangle, surrounding Liu Yang in the middle.

But this triangle is a bit too big!

Liu Yang received the ball and turned smoothly, dodging the sliding tackle from the defensive midfielder.

Then, with a quick touch and acceleration, he burst through the gap between the two center-backs before they could close him off!

At this moment, whether it's the Liverpool youth team players and coaches on the field, the spectators inside and outside the field, or even the viewers watching the pirated live stream from the East, they all have only one thought in their minds.

fast.

So fast!

Since Liverpool welcomed their new manager Klopp, the high-pressing philosophy has been implemented from the first team to the youth team.

The positions of the two center-backs have also been moved up quite a bit.

Therefore, once Liu Yang crossed this defensive line, the next few dozen meters were flat and open.

One-on-one!

Facing the goalkeeper head-on, Liu Yang even had time to adjust his footwork!

He's been knocked down!

The referee blew his whistle and pointed to the penalty spot!

The Aston Villa fans at the stadium and the pirate viewers in the East almost simultaneously shouted!

"Penalty!"

"Liu Yang has done a great job!"

The Liverpool youth team coach was yelling at the players on the field, clearly very dissatisfied.

Judging from his lip movements, he was yelling at his own players for being too far away from Liu Yang during defense and not giving him so much space to accelerate.

Liverpool youth team goalkeeper Kelleher sat on the ground, shrugging helplessly.

That guy adjusted too quickly.

Either commit a foul and concede a penalty, or let Liu Yang get past you and score into an empty net.

He had no choice.

In the live stream, the chat messages that had just stopped started scrolling again.

"Wow, this guy is so fast!"

"For someone with such a large build to have this kind of acceleration, isn't that incredibly lucky?"

"Where's the guy who just said he was too big and clumsy to run? Apologize!"

"Look at the way he turns and receives the ball; this guy has pretty good ball control!"

"Kaka!"

"Messi! No, it's Messi!"

Kelleher got up from the ground, and the referee showed him a yellow card.

"Shouldn't that have been a red card? It ruined a one-on-one opportunity!"

"The standards for red cards are much higher now. Unless it's an action that absolutely has to be red, a foul outside the penalty area will almost always result in a straight red card, while a foul inside the penalty area will mostly be downgraded to a yellow card."

"It's just a consensus reached by some referees right now, but it's said that it will be officially stipulated in a season or two."

……

Liu Yang held the ball and placed it at the penalty spot.

Kelleher stood on the goal line, waving his arms in an attempt to disrupt the shot.

Despite being only 17 years old, his judgment of penalty kicks is already quite excellent.

He stared at the giant across from him, who was taller than him, trying to glean something from his eyes and running stride.

But that guy barely had a running start!

After the referee blew the whistle, he took a step and then unleashed a powerful shot!

Kelleher didn't even manage a complete save.

The ball flew into the top left corner!

1-2!

Aston Villa's youth team pulled one back!

A barrage of rapidly scrolling comments immediately flooded the live stream.

"Awesome!"

"Scored a goal just two minutes after coming on!"

"A powerful shot to the top corner—that shows a lot of confidence in his shooting skills!"

"And he barely even had a running start!"

"Drogba took the penalty kick in the same way in the 2012 Champions League final."

"Well done, Liu Yang!"

"Brothers, there's still a chance for my bet to go flat!"

The young host played a catchy DJ track and enthusiastically danced around in the bottom right corner.

"Who cares about the Chinese team or the British team? Anyone who helps us win is a good brother!"

"Brothers, let's cheer for our good brother Liu Yang!"
