Chapter 740 Extra: Chinese Captain George's Lore (Subscription Request)
ahhh-
"George!"
"George!"
"George!"
There was a brief silence at the Seoul World Cup Arena, and two voices broke out.
The huge boos could not drown out the cheers of 3300 people.
"Huang George, Asia's No. 0.75 aerial master, jumped meters from the ground. This should be the highest jump for an Asian player besides Huang Kevin."
"Yes, George has strong legs and great explosive power. We can see that he consciously imitates Kevin Huang in his dribbling, but his style is more like Rooney with Terry's body. He is not so flexible with the ball sometimes, but his body, brain, and first-class basic skills can cover up his shortcomings in dribbling."
"That's not the case, actually. George's success rate in dribbling past opponents in Asian competitions is still very high, and the improvement is visible to the naked eye. When he first joined Guoan, he relied entirely on his body to dribble past opponents, but now his dribbling skills have improved a lot. He has signed with AC Milan, and we can fully expect his further development."
George was also very excited about the goal scored by the South Korean team, but he still imitated Huang Kevin's performance.
A goal is not worth celebrating at all.
As for his teammates, George only needs to devote himself to the game and try to score goals, but his teammates have more things to consider.
The excited teammates rushed over and gathered around George.
George couldn't help but smile, at least he was one step closer to his father.
I will write it in my diary when I get back. Although this matter cannot be made public and will affect my father's reputation, future generations must know who to worship when they offer sacrifices to their ancestors.
A new round of torture began in the Tokyo TV live studio. The commentator couldn't help but ask, "If Kevin is still gifted, how do you explain Huang George? Just by worshipping the Sun King, he can keep improving, even from forward to midfielder, and show top performance. The lack of desire for victory among the Japanese national players is the root cause of the national team's inability to go further!"
There was only one Huang Kevin before, and it could be said that Huang Kevin had mutated.
But George ran the 100m at the fucking World Championships and was killing it on the national team, so what else is there to explain?
It’s just that the Japanese international players don’t work hard!
Not to mention performing well across disciplines, he doesn’t even fucking understand how to play football!
It would be foolish to only look at the statistics, but in fact, there are many Japanese football players who have established themselves abroad. Who has ever scored 3 goals and provided 3 assists in the national team?
What makes the Japanese international even more desperate is that Huang Kaiwen doesn't know when he will retire, but his sons are about to be promoted to the first team.
What awaits them is endless torture.
And the scolding from my mother.
After the restart, Hwang Hee-chan passed the ball back immediately, and Jung Woo-young immediately passed the ball to his elder brother Son Heung-min.
Fernando rushed forward at the first moment, but Son Heung-min chose to pass back.
Ivan chose to stand in parallel tactically today, with Baihe Lamu and Fernando as the first line of defense. However, Baihe Lamu often chose to retreat to strengthen the midfield.
It is difficult for a forward to play a role in defense, but it is different when he is with his teammates.
The advantage in numbers still has a certain effect.
Lee Jae-sung was obviously trying to find Son Heung-min with the ball, but there was no chance on this side at all. The Chinese team's defense focused here. He quickly passed the ball sideways, and Zheng Yourong passed the ball to Lee Kang-in.
Li Gangren, who was eager to show his ability, started as soon as he got the ball.
The absolute speed of this young PSG winger is not very fast.
While moving, George shouted: "Don't get too close, guard his teammates!"
He fully remembered Lee Kang-in's performance. The South Korean winger was more suitable for a false nine and his shooting ability was not as good as his passing ability.
He is good at dribbling and confrontation, but often sticks to the ball.
Just based on these characteristics, George didn't think he could surpass Son Heung-min, and now there is no comparison.
That's why George chose to praise him, although he didn't step on his son. But under the Korean senior-senior system and the performance of the two, his words were equivalent to a heavy blow to Son Heung-min.
When George retreated, he didn't even go to defend on the left side. He was just shouting and directing his teammates, while guarding against Son Heung-min, Hwang Hee-chan and Jung Woo-young.
Liu Yang and Xie Wenneng pressed forward together. Zhu Yunjie wanted to catch up, but George immediately shouted, "Come back and keep an eye on the middle!"
Although Li Gangren is left-footed, his goal expectations are really not high.
Even from the right wing with the weak foot.
He usually plays on the left side.
As long as my teammates can put a little pressure on me.
When he got the ball, he had no chance to get in and take advantage of the situation.
Once everyone rushed to clear the middle lane, Lee Kang-in passed the ball, and the South Korean team gained a local numerical advantage. Even if he had his father possessed, he would not be able to perform 2v3 with his teammates.
Fortunately, this time Liu Yang caught up and blocked Li Gangren's shot with his foot.
George immediately applauded his teammates and reminded them, "Be careful of the corner kick, don't run around, and follow your people."
After saying that, he stood on the small penalty area line.
Without Son Heung-min, his target became Hwang Hee-chan.
As Son Heung-min took a run-up to take the corner kick, George immediately judged the landing point and jumped high. Hwang Hee-chan's jumping height was obviously not as high as George's, so he went straight for it.
But he didn't expect George to jump so steadily, and he pushed the person and fell into the penalty area instead.
Snapped,
George shook his head and easily kicked the ball out.
Huang Xican, lying in the penalty area, spread his hands wildly, wanting a penalty kick.
The referee couldn't bear it anymore, so he pointed at his eyes with his index and middle fingers, made a pushing gesture, and finally touched his shorts.
The meaning is obvious.
I won’t get up to give you any cards again.
Huang Xican could only get up and run back in shame.
Although George cleared the ball this time, the ball was still in the hands of the South Korean team.
Wang Shangyuan pressed Quan Jingyuan, and Quan Jingyuan immediately passed the ball to the left again. Li Zaicheng found a good opportunity. There was no one defending around him, so he pushed the ball and swung his left foot to kick it out.
"I come!"
George shouted from the penalty area.
Zhu Yunjie simply continued to stare at Huang Xican, and George rushed out of the penalty area, lowered his head and headed the ball out steadily.
"Beautiful, George's defensive performance today was very important."
"Yes, the aerial advantage is too obvious. Huang Xican wanted to pull George and make him give up his landing point, but Huang George acted as if nothing had happened."
【Mother Wang】Right.
"Fuck, I just realized there are quite a few people with the last name Huang today. There are two in the starting lineup for the Korean team."
"What's the point of having the surname Huang? Brother George, this Huang is the Huang of Huang Kevin. Brother George, you have something to say, what the hell are you worthy of having the same surname Huang as me?"
“Hahaha, if Brother George wasn’t pure white, I would have really thought he was Kevin Huang’s biological son.”
"I've already noticed that when reporters asked Terry questions, George was perfunctory, but he got excited when he mentioned Kevin Huang."
"This is normal. Children of star players usually like other players and are mainly rebellious."
"Hahaha, we have to mention Huang Baoluo. That kid clearly said his favorite player is Kaka. I guess Huang Kevin didn't expect that this day would come."
"That can't be helped. After all, Paul grew up in Kaka's family. But Paul from Kaka's family likes Kevin Huang. Did they get the wrong child?"
"When Paul joins the national team, he will be even more powerful."
“I’ve dreamed of breaking out of Asia for so many years, but I didn’t expect it to be so powerful that in another ten or eight years, we’ll be able to break out of the world.”
The South Korean team still had the advantage on the field, but fortunately the Chinese team's defense was always safe.
Li Gangren played with confidence. As George went to the left to make up for the defense, Son Heung-min immediately found an opportunity and passed several people on the left before shooting, but was successfully blocked by Da Lei.
Even so, George was still very dissatisfied.
He put his hands on his hips and shouted, "Four or five people were dribbled past by one person. Can you be more decisive when you stretch your legs? We are here to play football, not to travel. Does that mean we can lose to them just because we qualify? If you don't want to be ridiculed by the fans, then show some performance instead of just arguing with the fans on Weibo and talking about crosstalk competitions?"
Many players were stunned.
This is the first time I've seen George like this.
Before, George could chat with everyone, and when he first joined the national team he gave gifts to everyone.
Everyone thought he was easy to talk to.
Da Lei clapped his hands and said, "George is right. Don't give Son Heung-min too many chances. We are already ahead. If we maintain this lead, we can look up to the fans when we return home."
Ivankovic shouted from the sidelines: "Be careful, be careful."
George is the trump card in his hand, and he can't let any problems occur in the locker room.
If something really goes wrong, we will have to replace the starting lineup on a large scale.
He also couldn't stand Jiang Guangtai.
A few days ago, a British guy even commented that his defense was like a dog, and he could only chase the ball.
That's a bit of an exaggeration.
However, apart from his physique, he does not have many strengths and is not considered the best defender in Asia. His passing is a big problem and his positioning is not as good as George's.
In this era, defenders who are not good at holding the ball and passing it still pose a great restriction to tactics.
But this is already one of the best defenders in the national team.
Ivankovic still hopes that he can get out of the trough as soon as possible and be used as a defensive back.
At least you won't have to hide your head and dodge the ball.
Studying the previous national team games, his blood pressure was elevated. They all spoke Chinese but there was no tacit understanding. No one rushed to the ball. Captain Wu created a famous scene where many opponents around him did not defend, stared blankly in the penalty area, and then dodged the ball and shot from a distance.
If possible, what he wants most is a defender like a bankrupt version of Van Dijk.
The national team goalkeeper is not bad. George performed well in the midfield today. If there is a player who is good at defense and passing, and can command the defense, George can be moved forward.
Even if you don't play as a striker, you can still become the Asian Totti.
Then he can continue to maintain his high-paying job.
It's still a little bit lacking now. Of course, the whole team is not much better. Ivankovic doesn't think he is better than coaches like Lippi.
But he is lucky.
As long as George can remain stable, maybe he can really become the second Milu.
After all, we all came from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
The lagging South Korean team attacked much more fiercely.
The pressure of playing at home is still very high. Someone really needs to apologize after they lose. It is impossible to scold the fans on Weibo.
Fortunately, the national team performed well in the first half and temporarily withstood the pressure.
As the halftime whistle sounded, Ivankovic rushed to the sidelines and handed George a towel.
George was stunned for a moment before taking it and nodded with a smile.
exactly!
This is my father's footprint.
George waited for Big Thunder to come over before they walked towards the locker room together.
Terry in front of the TV put down the remote control with a smile. He had been thinking of changing the channel if the scene was not good, but he didn't expect his son to perform so well.
Judging from just one game, George's performance today is comparable to the national team's level.
His defense is comparable to Kanter's, and he also has some highlights in offense.
Tony Poole said: "It seems like you are more nervous watching George play than you are playing yourself."
"That's different. My teammates are Lampard and Drogba, Rooney, Hart and Ferdinand. It's not that they are not good, but China's strength is too weak."
Terry said with a sigh.
If George chooses England, they can all wait for football to come home together in the summer.
We first met at Stamford Bridge and it was a life-long regret for Kevin.
He would indeed prefer his son to play for England if possible.
The data is there. The Chinese team has not entered the World Cup for more than 20 years. Terry is a little worried that George will become the next Giggs.
Even if he was Manchester United's main player and the best winger at the time, he had never played in the finals of a major tournament.
Away locker room.
The atmosphere is quite relaxed.
George took off his shoes to relieve his fatigue.
Ivankovic walked into the locker room and said: "You played very well today. Hang in there. It would be best if we can win, but as long as we don't lose, we will have an explanation to the fans."
As soon as he finished speaking, George jumped up without even putting on his shoes and said, "Coach, I'm afraid that's not right. As a player, you must fight for victory on the court. The opponent is the Korean team.
Have you ever thought about what the fans who support us will experience if we lose? With millions of dollars in salary and lucrative endorsement contracts, the only thing the fans ask is that the national team does not embarrass them. This is already a very low requirement. Isn't it possible to do it?
Even if his father passed away, Srna would still fight for his country despite the grief. Inter Milan has not beaten AC Milan in 20 years, but they still tried their best until the last minute. Facing the Koreans who often mocked them, couldn't we win? "
The continuous rhetorical questions made the locker room much quieter.
After listening to the translation, Ivan quickly smiled and said, "What I mean is that you should not feel any psychological pressure. You must strive for victory."
Although doing so would somewhat undermine the coach's authority.
But even Sir Alex Ferguson coaxed Cantona, and there was nothing shameful about him doing so.
George waved his arms while stepping on his shoes and said, "What is Koreaphobia? That's all made up by Koreans. Starting today, we will make it difficult for them to win. I know some people think developed countries are better, but Japanese experts have said that spiritual power can surpass everything. Even if we are a little weaker, we must let the little Koreans know that football is not that easy to win. Kill the little Koreans!!!"
Ivan was the first to follow suit.
There was an immediate shouting in the locker room.
George finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was his first time doing something like this and he was very nervous.
Facts have proved that he is born with enough leadership ability, which is the power of blood.
This also gave George more ambitions.
One day, he will become the captain of the national team!
After the half-time break, players from both teams returned to the field.
George keenly discovered that there was a problem between Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in.
I didn't have much time to think about it after the kick-off in the first half, but there was really no coordination between the two of them.
Thinking back to the internal strife within the Korean team where two players refused to pass the ball, he couldn't help but smile.
We are not afraid of having many Korean geniuses, but we are afraid that the geniuses don’t want to be the boss.
Li Gangren obviously dislikes Son Heung-min, the patriarch.
This is a good thing.
When he thought of this, he felt that South Korea’s system was very backward.
In competitive sports, strength is everything.
Look at his father. He has absolute say in which club he plays for. What's the use of being old? If being old is awesome, then wouldn't Kazuyoshi Miura be invincible, and be the peerless duo with Inzaghi?
After the restart, the Chinese team controlled the ball in the backcourt.
Leading by one goal gave the players a lot of confidence.
"The Chinese team gave up the ball. After all, they are not used to the ball possession tactics. For a long time before, the national team mainly counterattacked."
"The South Korean team is a little anxious. They have been trying to find Son Heung-min, but George is basically always by his side. Your long pass is useless. Son Heung-min has no advantage in the confrontation. Short pass penetration requires more people. The national team's defensive focus is on this side."
"Young player Li Gangren got the ball again. He was very active today. We can also see that George kept telling his teammates to compress the space in the middle. For a left-footed player on the right, it must be more comfortable to cut inside."
"Great! Liu Yang successfully cleared the ball out of the danger zone this time."
The ball flew out, Xie Wenneng quickly passed it forward, and the ball flew towards the South Korean team's half again.
Huang Renfan made a long pass as soon as he got the ball. George, who was originally on the right side of the backcourt, appeared on the left side of the midfield. He stretched out his right foot first and stopped with the outside of his foot, so that the long pass could not find Li Gangren.
Then he kicked the ball with his right foot and it passed Zheng Yourong and found Xu Haoyang.
While Xu Haoyang was running, he was pulled by Zheng Yourong and lost control of his feet. The ball went behind him. George immediately turned around to chase the ball and made a short pass to Yang Zexiang who came up to receive the ball.
Although George did not press forward during this period, he covered the left and right sides of the backcourt and did not give the South Korean team any chance to make long passes.
Want to save trouble?
Then try to head the ball!
"Axi!"
Kim Do-hoon shouted from the sidelines: "Damn it, do you want to play or not? The opponent is the Chinese team. If you continue like this, you will have to apologize to all the people."
As the interim head coach, he is already thinking about passing on the blame.
Anyway, during the half-time break, the atmosphere in the locker room was really bad.
We can't let him take the blame.
He knew the character of Koreans. They had a strong sense of inferiority towards their former colonial master.
"Pass the ball to me more!"
Li Gangren raised his hand and shouted.
Hearing this, Son Heung-min couldn't help but frown.
Even Lloris could bully him at Tottenham, and now a junior in the national team wants to get promoted?
On the contrary, it belongs to Tiangang!
Even if there had been no conflict with Li Gangren before, these words were a bit harsh given that he kept dribbling past players but didn't create any goals today.
If it were a Korean drama, he, as the big brother, would have slapped Li Gangren twice and punished him by making him stand at the door of the locker room with a bucket on his head.
Unfortunately, after the release of "Dark Glory", these issues have become a bit sensitive.
He could only keep it in mind and wait for the right opportunity to attack him.
As time went on, the boos in the stadium grew louder.
Many Koreans on the Internet have already started cursing.
"The Chinese are totally Shaolin Soccer Smecta."
"The referee must have taken money. I will go to the Blue House to petition."
"In Asia, it is hard to find someone as humble as Son Heung-min. He is hard to stop and respected in the UK or any other country in the world. But what happened today, that George was simply killing people, and a protest must be made to China!"
“kkkk, maybe we have already qualified, so the contestants will show mercy today.”
"Lee Jae-sung really should be put on the electric chair. Replace him, bastard!"
"Goal, Li Gangren..."
Son Heung-min's successful offside cross on the left caused chaos in the Chinese team's penalty area. Li Gangren, who came in from behind, equalized the score with a powerful left-foot shot.
The atmosphere at the scene changed immediately.
The Koreans who said online that this game was not important also started talking about honor.
"Hey, there's some confusion in the penalty area on this ball."
"Yes, but the national team should still cheer up now, as there are still more than 20 minutes left in the game."
Ivankovic on the sidelines was also a little anxious and ran to the fourth official to complain.
Fernando was fouled quite a lot today.
He felt that if there had not been so many fouls, there might have been more opportunities, and this goal would not have happened.
"Come on, guys!"
George clapped his hands and shouted, "We still have time to score another goal. It was my fault just now. I gave him a chance when I went to the middle. I won't give them another chance later."
Wang Shangyuan glanced at George.
He just ran to the left, and George just came to the middle to fill the position.
Shortly after the restart, Ivankovic made three substitutions.
Wu Lei, who felt a little uncomfortable after the last game, and Zhang Yuning both came on the court.
Huang Zhenyu replaced Wang Shangyuan.
The addition of three new players has brought some vitality to the Chinese team.
George focused on defense and kicked the ball forward as soon as he got the ball.
Now he just needs to stabilize his defense and think about other things.
【Mother Wang】Right.
"Can we win today? The timing is pretty good."
"Pah, pah, pah, my head goes fucking buzzing when I see these words."
"To be honest, there were a few other players who played well today besides George, but George is really at the top level in Asia. I wonder if he can keep up the performance at AC Milan."
"Brother George's kick was so sad. Damn, a good striker retreated to play as a defensive midfielder."
"It's only been over 70 minutes, and he's already run meters. Brother George's physical fitness is really amazing."
"It doesn't really matter whether we win or not. There's no way Thailand can catch up with the goal difference."
"That's true, but I still don't want to lose to the little guy."
"Christian is also very nervous. I think he wants to leave the court himself."
"Don't say that, Malaysia may not be worse than the national football team."
"Isn't that embarrassing? You say he was okay when he was in AC Milan's youth training, but he's been playing games for so many years, I guess his football skills have been fucking lost."
Christian in the stands was very nervous.
He made a bet with Inzaghi about today's game.
After the unreliable uncle was blacklisted by William Hill, he often played this game with young people.
Although the money is not much, the eldest son is still very focused.
At this time, he remembered a joke on the Internet, buying things backwards by the sea. When he thought of the uncle's face, the eldest son felt very unwilling.
Football is a sport that can always mobilize the emotions of fans to the greatest extent.
In the 81st minute, Hong Hyun-hee, who came on as a substitute, made a straight pass to Son Heung-min, who immediately started again.
George rushed to the right immediately.
Son Heung-min also learned his lesson. He pretended to flick the ball with his right foot and immediately passed it to his left foot, hoping to continue breaking through along the sideline while George's attention was on his right foot.
Unexpectedly, George turned around very quickly, fell to the ground and slid, accurately sending the ball out of the sideline.
George stood up with the help of his teammates and rested for a short time with his hands on his knees.
Continue to move towards the Korean players' defense.
This summer, he must improve his physical fitness.
As the son of the No. 1 Tour de France winner, today's performance was embarrassing.
The South Korean team threw the ball out of bounds and George immediately rushed towards Zheng Yourong.
Zheng Yourong pushed the ball forward immediately, but fortunately Jiang Guangtai got in front of Huang Xican and passed the ball to Yang Zexiang.
Yang Zexiang kicked the ball forward again, but Wu Lei obviously had some physical problems and did not have his usual speed. He was unable to create a one-on-one situation after getting the ball and was cleared by Park Sung-woo out of the sideline.
The players of both sides consumed a lot of energy today.
With one substitution left, the South Korean team replaced Zhou Min-kyu with the player who scored the goal, Lee Kang-in.
When he saw the substitution card, Li Gangren was stunned for a moment, pointed at himself, and only walked to the sidelines in frustration after seeing the coach nod.
After high-fiving his teammates, he sat back on the bench.
Looking at the Chinese team preparing to throw the ball out of bounds, he secretly hoped that the Chinese team could score another goal.
Anyway, he has left the court and the loss cannot be blamed on him.
The coach who replaced him and the big brother who didn't score a goal will be the special focus of the fans.
Unfortunately, the Chinese team failed to seize this opportunity, forcing him to hit his thigh.
Yan Yuanxiang bumped his arm and reminded him, "What are you doing?"
"Ah, I feel like the ball shouldn't be given out of bounds."
Li Gangren reacted quickly and defended himself.
"Be careful, kid." Yan Yuanxiang said.
"I know, brother."
Li Gangren rolled his eyes. Someone who was two years older than him was so arrogant.
In the final moments, the South Korean team launched a fierce attack.
Many fans were worried about the national team.
George even returned to the penalty area to defend.
Son Heung-min got the ball again. George felt that his physical condition was average and he couldn't chase back. He didn't dare to grab the ball at the first time and chose to lower his center of gravity and retreat.
Son Heung-min passed the ball to his left foot, and George was about to steal the ball when his eyes suddenly widened.
No, it's a fake!
Sure enough, Son Heung-min passed the ball to his right foot and pulled it horizontally to prepare to cut inside. George made a good judgment and poked the ball behind Son Heung-min.
The two people chased after the ball almost at the same time.
George's physical advantage was still obvious. He carried the opponent and successfully drove the ball to the front court.
"Run!"
George shouted.
This long pass accurately found Wu Lei, who took the ball and rushed madly towards the penalty area of the South Korean team.
But he had only run a few steps with the ball when he was knocked down by Zheng Yourong's side sliding tackle.
George, who had just been resting, rushed to the frontcourt and pushed Zheng Yourong away.
Zheng Yourong spread his hands with an innocent look and hid behind his teammates.
"This foul was a bit too harsh."
"Yellow card. The referee showed some mercy this time. Fortunately, he didn't give me a yellow George card, which was considerate of both sides."
"This free kick should be the last chance, let's see who will take it."
"What George meant is that he should be ready to come, but he is standing so far to the right, is he going to use his left foot? He is a right-footed player, right? His dominant foot is his right foot?"
"Yes, right foot, but George should have his own ideas."
Coach Zhang said uncertainly.
The stadium was filled with boos as the Koreans tried to influence George to take the penalty.
George couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
He has the gene for a 33% free kick goal rate!
Looking at the South Korean team that was nervously forming a human wall, George did not move even though the referee signaled that he could kick.
He wanted to defeat these bastards fairly and leave them speechless.
George waited until the South Korean team was firmly in position before he put the ball down with the valve facing himself.
Run-up, left foot, right foot.
He stepped on the ball with his right foot and swung his left foot out.
The ball passed by Quan Jingyuan's head and flew quickly into the penalty area.
Zhao Xianyou kept moving his feet, and the flight path of the ball was very erratic.
He couldn't help but curse in his heart.
There is almost no spin on the ball.
There was no time to wait, so he dived for the ball immediately. His direction was right, but his position was wrong, and the ball flew into the goal a few centimeters away from his fingernails.
beep,
beep,
beep—
Killer! ! !
The 3300 people cheered, and the substitutes and coaching staff rushed onto the field.
Li Gangren stood up and raised his arms almost instantly. Noticing that his teammates were looking at him, he waved his right arm down vigorously with some embarrassment, hoping that he could get away with it this time.
Asking for monthly ticket recommendations
