Football: He suffered a broken leg at the start of the game, but partnered with Haaland!

Chapter 142 Targeting a cripple? Sorry, I have the Great Sage protecting me!

The South Korean players on the field were stunned by the Chinese team's unreasonable blitzkrieg tactics at the start of the game.

Goalkeeper Song Fangen got up from the ground and, still shaken, yelled at the back line.

Kim Dong-hyun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and ran towards Jung Woo-kyung.

"That kid's physical strength is too tough. When Meng Chengxiong and I were closing the door, he didn't even slow down before he got through," Kim Dong-hyun complained quickly in Korean.

Zheng Youying gritted his teeth and stared at Sun Yang, who was heading towards the corner flag area.

"Don't judge him by Asian player standards! I said that before the match." Jung Woo-yeong grabbed Kim Dong-hyun's collar. "He can outmaneuver European defenders in the Bundesliga and Champions League! From now on, regardless of formation or position, the moment he gets the ball, three of you immediately surround him, engage in close combat, cripple him, and don't let him pass the ball easily!"

The South Korean players exchanged glances and secretly adjusted their defensive strategies.

On the sidelines, South Korean head coach Kim Hak-bum stormed to the edge of the control area, seething with anger.

He waved his arms wildly at the field, and because it was an empty stadium, his roars could be heard throughout the entire stadium.

"Don't give him space! Stick with him! This is the Asian Cup, not a European tournament! Get physical, foul him and keep him in midfield!"

Kim Hak-bum knew better than anyone else that if South Korea's defense got into a rhythm with such a superstar player who could unleash explosive power, they would be in serious trouble.

On the other side, Cannavaro excitedly walked out of the bench, came to the sidelines, and put his hands to his mouth, making a megaphone shape.

"Well done, Yang! Keep kicking like that, break them down!"

The game continued, and the Chinese team was awarded a corner kick on the right.

Sun Yang carried the ball towards the corner flag area.

The South Korean team's air raid siren sounded, and two tall and strong center-backs blocked Zhang Yuning, creating a chaotic scramble in the penalty area.

Chen Binbin ran over from outside the penalty area, ready to coordinate a tactical play with Sun Yang.

Sun Yang positioned the ball under the corner flag, took three steps back, and measured the distance.

He looked at the South Korean defense line, which was poised to fight in the penalty area, and raised his right hand high.

This was a pre-match signal set-piece tactic arranged by Cannavaro.

Upon receiving the instruction, Zhang Yuning and Zhu Chenjie, who had made a run from the back, immediately switched positions. The two desperately pushed towards the far post of the goal, drawing most of the South Korean team's defensive attention.

Everyone was waiting for Sun Yang to launch a high cross.

Sun Yang begins his running start.

He didn't even look at his teammate who was jumping high at the far post. He used the instep of his right foot to kick the side of the ball.

There is no high-altitude arc.

The ball skimmed the grass, spinning sharply, like a concealed surface-to-surface missile, precisely piercing through the gaps in the crowd, heading straight for an unmanned area at the top of the South Korean penalty area.

Duan Liuyu had already moved to that position half a second ahead of time, according to the tactical plan.

The South Korean players were all looking up at the sky. By the time they realized the ball was rolling low to the ground towards them, their defensive formation was completely in disarray.

Duan Liuyu met the rolling ball head-on and, without even stopping, unleashed a powerful shot.

"Bang!"

The ball was powerful and heavy.

In a moment of panic, South Korean center-back Kim Jae-woo turned his back, and the ball struck his shinbone, deflecting violently before bouncing high and landing near the left sideline of the field.

South Korean full-back Kang Yoon-seong intercepted the ball first, stopped it with his thigh, turned around, and prepared to launch a long counter-attack.

Most of the Chinese players were pressed into the South Korean half, leaving their defense vulnerable.

Jiang Yunsheng just looked up to find Li Dongjiong in front of him.

A sudden gust of wind swept up beside me.

After taking the corner kick, Sun Yang didn't even stand still to watch his teammate's shot. Utilizing his abnormal cardiovascular endurance, he sprinted fifty meters along the baseline and cut inside the goal the instant Duan Liuyu took his shot.

Just as Jiang Yunsheng was about to pass the ball.

Sun Yang got a half-body head start, stretched out his left leg and poked the ball forward, then used his strong body to forcefully push Jiang Yunsheng aside.

In his haste, Jiang Yunsheng reached out and grabbed the back of Sun Yang's red jersey.

The fabric was stretched and deformed.

Sun Yang's speed was not affected in any way. With his powerful core strength, he took two big steps forward despite Jiang Yunsheng's pulling, causing the opponent to trip and fall to the ground.

The counterattack was thwarted on the spot! Sun Yang regained possession and cut inside directly along the left side of the penalty area.

The entire South Korean coaching staff on the bench stood up in alarm.

South Korean center-back Kim Jae-woo had just blocked Duan Liuyu's shot when he turned around and saw Sun Yang charging towards him alone.

Sun Yang was about to break into the penalty area and face the goalkeeper directly.

Jin Zaiyu's eyes reddened with anxiety.

He recklessly threw himself to the ground, his feet off the ground, sharp steel spikes protruding from the soles of his shoes, and shoveled directly at Sun Yang's ankle.

This was a vicious foul with no attempt to retract the foot, aimed at crippling the player!

"Watch out!" He Wei exclaimed in the live stream.

The distance was too close, and the speed was too fast.

An average player would definitely jump to avoid the ball at this moment, but possession would inevitably change hands.

Sun Yang didn't jump, nor did he even attempt to dodge.

He gently nudged the ball forward with his right foot, and then his left leg, which was equipped with the system's first reward, "Iron Leg Talent," firmly planted itself on the grass like a solid concrete pillar.

The talent that reduces damage by 50% is fully activated.

"Bang!"

The cleats slammed into Sun Yang's left shin guard, producing a sickeningly loud thud.

Several substitute players from the national Olympic team on the sidelines even closed their eyes, unable to bear watching the horrific sight of the broken leg that was about to unfold.

The enormous reaction force was transmitted back through the exposed shin guards of the Monkey King, which were visible inside the ripped socks.

The Monkey King, painted with Peking Opera colors on his leg guards, stared down at everything before him with his fiery eyes that terrified all demons and monsters.

Sun Yang remained expressionless, his body not even swaying slightly.

With a blood-curdling scream, Kim Jae-woo, doubled over and clutching his throbbing, twisted ankle, rolled back and forth in agony on the grass. He felt as if his kick hadn't struck flesh, but rather a solid, heavy steel plate.

The referee, with his whistle in his mouth, saw that Sun Yang had not fallen to the ground and raised his hands to indicate that the attack was in his favor, and the game continued.

Sun Yang stepped over Jin Zaiyu, who was rolling on the ground, without any mercy.

The road ahead was clear, leaving only South Korean goalkeeper Song Bum-keun alone in the penalty area.

Sun Yang adjusted the ball to the most comfortable position.

In his mind, the power generation mechanism of Argentine warrior Batistuta and the heavy cannon of Carlos were completely boiling.

His left foot slammed heavily onto the grass, his right leg swung back in a wide arc, his thigh muscles tensed, and his knee propelled his instep as he smashed the ball into the center of the field.

Song Fangen only saw a blur rushing towards him.
