I changed football.

"China is in the lead! It's Li Yuan again!"

"Li Yuan has scored 10 goals in just two official matches for the Chinese team, which is the highest scoring efficiency in the history of the national team."

After scoring, Li Yuan hugged his teammates one by one.

Wu Lei ran up to him with an envious look: "Your goal was so effortless, it looked so elegant."

Li Yuan laughed and hugged him, saying, "You can do it too, studying abroad."

Li Yuan naturally offered encouragement and comfort to Wu Lei.

The teammates have all come up.

"Qada's defense was clearly problematic. Even with two players double-teaming Li Yuan, he still managed to jump up and head the ball into the net."

After the restart, Qatar tried to attack, but the ball quickly returned to China's feet.

Because Li Yuan got involved in winning possession of the ball.

Li Yuan's pressing intensity was at the level of Ligue 1; he won the ball back after only two attempts against Qatar's midfielder.

Then Li Yuan decided he didn't want to come anymore, as goal difference wasn't that important anymore.

He wants to focus more on cooperating with his teammates, since he will be playing with them in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

Therefore, more teamwork is definitely a good thing.

However, Li Yuan soon discovered that coordinating with others was indeed a bit difficult.

Because his teammates have a hard time keeping up with his train of thought.

Li Yuan wanted to pass the ball to his teammate, and then run forward to wait for the pass.

It was originally a fairly simple operation.

However, the passes from his teammates were too short.

Then either the timing wasn't right.

This approach is definitely not going to work.

With the Chinese national team still leading 1-0 in the second half, Qatar seemed to see a glimmer of hope and prepared to attack.

With no other option, Li Yuan changed his approach and decided to go it alone.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan accelerated down the right flank, easily dribbling past one player with a dribbling ball, then past the second with a pull-back, and finally past the third with a pendulum dribble.

Facing a defender at a certain distance, Li Yuan swung his right leg and kicked the ball, sending it curling into the net.

2:0.

This goal was clearly more spectacular than the first goal of the match.

"Li Yuan's goal was absolutely beautiful! A perfect 'oil ball' dribble, a pull-back, a pendulum dribble, and finally a powerful curling shot with his weaker foot—a perfect sequence! A perfect goal!"

"Scoring 11 goals in two games, Li Yuan's efficiency is terrifying. Keep in mind that the highest-scoring player in the history of the Chinese national team has 40 goals, and Li Yuan has already achieved a quarter of that in just two games!"

With his second goal, Li Yuan has now tied the score of the previous game.

In the previous era, the Chinese national football team defeated Qatar 2-0.

Qatar is now down by two goals, and their already low morale has led them to make substitutions, giving their key players a rest.

In this situation, it would be a bit unreasonable for Li Yuan not to pull off a hat trick.

It definitely has to be different from the previous life.

So, in the following period, Li Yuan went back to working on his own.

He dribbles through the middle like Kaka.

The silver saddle illuminates the white horse, rustling like a meteor.

Li Yuan's dribbling skills are absolutely dominant at the Asian level, especially against a defense of Qatar's caliber.

Li Yuan seemed to dribble past his opponents with ease, and he scored goals with ease.

His final shot was also delivered with ease.

Li Yuan, who scored the goal, ended his second national team match with a sliding knee motion.

In the 69th minute of the second half, Li Yuan was substituted off the field, receiving cheers from the entire stadium.

"Li Yuan! This is a player destined to be recorded in the history of Chinese football. He has already set many records for Chinese players playing abroad while playing for Monaco in Ligue 1. When he joined the national team, he integrated seamlessly and scored 12 goals in two games, setting a series of records."

"Look at the fans here! 5 fans chanted Li Yuan's name together the entire time. Li Yuan won over the national team fans in just two games! This is the effect and significance of playing abroad—"

He Wei clearly wanted to say something more.

However, his partner Xu Yang patted him on the shoulder.

This prevented He Wei from saying his final words.

The rest of the match went smoothly. Although Qatar had lost its fighting spirit, it didn't allow the Chinese national team to score another goal.

The Chinese national football team has already secured its place in the final round of World Cup qualifiers.

This allowed the national team players to relax.

When the final whistle blew, cheers erupted from all sides.

He Wei, who was sitting on the commentary platform, also stood up and brought the microphone closer to his lips.

"We've made it! After missing the final round of the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup for three consecutive years, we've finally returned to the final round of twelve, formerly known as the final round of ten, which is the highest level of Asian football. This doesn't mean we've already qualified for the World Cup, but it at least shows that we're on the right track."

"Based on the most likely group draw, we will definitely be grouped with either Japan or South Korea. It's also quite possible we'll be grouped with Iran. The specific group draw won't be announced until June."

……

After the match, while the other players were still basking in the joy of winning and advancing, Li Yuan had already packed his luggage and arrived at the hotel lobby.

I ran into my teammates on the way, and they all looked surprised.

"Yuan'er, where are you going so late?"

"I have to go to France; I have to report back to the club the day after tomorrow."

"oh oh!"

This kind of conversation happened several times.

Things only changed when I finally met Wu Lei in the hotel lobby.

"Are you going home?"

"It's not going back, it's going away."

"Yes, yes, look at me." Wu Lei patted his head.

"It's okay, Brother Lei. I'm just used to giving so many interviews. Actually, we don't need to be so formal when we talk in private."

"You're absolutely right. We do need to be more careful. Otherwise, if we just say things offhand, it'll be easy to run into problems when we're being interviewed later."

Li Yuan knew what Wu Lei was talking about. Back in 15, Wu Lei gave a post-match interview and unintentionally offended Guangzhou team fans, which was a minor incident. Li Yuan had seen similar news in his previous life, and after eating the [Memory Bread], this memory completely resurfaced.

Wu Lei continued, "I've already spoken with my agent, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, I'll be choosing to play abroad during the summer transfer window."

"Really? You've made up your mind?" Li Yuan was genuinely surprised. He hadn't expected his butterfly effect to be so significant, enabling Wu Lei to decide to go abroad to play two and a half years earlier than planned.

Honestly, Wu Lei, who went abroad to play at the age of 25, has made tremendous progress in everything, whether it's his football skills or anything else.

Li Yuan really wanted to ask Wu Lei where he was going, but before Li Yuan could ask, Wu Lei told him directly.

"At this stage, I'm more concerned about my position, so I ultimately chose Auxerre."

"Yes, that's a great option. Auxerre also has promotion plans and is currently 8th in Ligue 2. Ligue 2 is very competitive, so you'll definitely improve if you go there!"

"Hearing you say that, I finally feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulders!"
