Zhang Guan is going to play football!
The effect of this news was like detonating a nuclear bomb, causing an instant sensation.
"Am I right? Zhang Guan is going to play football. He is going to participate in the World Cup preliminaries?"
"Zhang Guan, can he play football? I have never seen him play football. After he plays, this is still the World Cup preliminaries. The participants are all the best professional football players in the country. Can Zhang Guan do it?"
"It will definitely work. Don't forget that he is Zhang Guan! There is no event in the world that he can't do. With Zhang Guan, maybe we can really create a miracle and win the next five games."
"Don't forget, Zhang Guan is the fastest man in the world. If he plays as a forward, who in the world can catch up? With Zhang Guan's explosive power, Asian defenders can wipe out him in an instant!"
"We have to believe in Zhang Guan. He has already brought us enough miracles. This time, he will definitely be able to bring us another miracle!"
The current record of the national football team in the world preliminaries is 2 draws and 3 losses, with only 2 points, ranking at the bottom of the group. The top three teams are Iran with 11 points, South Korea with 10 points, and Uzbekistan with 9 points. The gap between these three teams is relatively small, and they all have a chance to get into the top two and directly advance to next year's tournament. World Cup.
If the national football team wants to appear, it must win all five games. In that case, the national football team will get 17 points. In the world preliminaries, 17 points is considered a threshold for advancement, but it is not a very safe result. Whether it can be achieved depends on the expressions of other teams.
Winning the next five games is a completely impossible task for the national football team, but the sudden appearance of Zhang Guan made many Chinese fans feel that maybe it is really possible for the national football team to win all five games.
The national football team needs miracles, and what Zhang Guan is best at creating is miracles!
…
On the bus, Ki Sung-yong, the captain of the Korean men's football team and a core player of South Korea, looked disdainful.
"Zhang Guan? Play football? Hahaha? Is the Chinese team going crazy after losing? Let Zhang Guan play in the World Cup preliminaries. Has he ever played football? Can he play football?"
Ki Sung-yong studied in Australia in his early years and played for Seoul FC in South Korea and Celtic in the Scottish Premier League. Now he plays for Swansea City in the Premier League and has gradually become the main player in the team.
Ki Sung-yong obviously disdains Zhang Guan. As someone who can be the main force in the Premier League team, he looks down on other Asian players, let alone Zhang Guan, who has never played football.
"The captain is right. Zhang Guan is just a little faster. It's no big deal. Football is not like other sports. You can play games after just a few months of practice! Isn't it said that Zhang Guan is an all-around athlete? This time it's Let him have a taste of our power and let him know what professional football is! Professional football is not his track and field sprint." Huang Xican said next to him.
Huang Xican is a young player born in 1996. He is only 21 years old this year and currently plays for Red Bull Salzburg in the Austrian Football League. In the South Korean national team, because Son Heung-min has accumulated yellow cards and will be suspended for one game, Hwang Hee-chan will replace Son Heung-min and become the forward of the South Korean team.
As for Son Heung-min, he can be regarded as the number one star of the Korean team. He currently plays for Tottenham in the Premier League and was once elected as the Premier League Player of the Month. Tottenham spent 30 million euros to introduce him, which also set a transfer fee record for Asian athletes. It can be said that he is the most valuable athlete in Asia.
In addition to Ki Sung-yoon, Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan, the Korean team also has Ji Dong-won and Koo Ja-cheol, who also play in Europe and play for Ordersberg. With so many players playing in Europe, the Korean team players are indeed proud of themselves.
In addition, the professionalism of football is also the main reason why Korean team players despise Zhang Guan.
Professional football is different from professional competitions in other sports. There is a huge gap between the professional level and the amateur level of football. For example, table tennis can be said to be a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger among the people. Top amateur table tennis enthusiasts can often play back and forth with average professional players, and even win if they are lucky.
But this situation is impossible in football. Professional football players can easily beat amateur football players. Even those professional players who look stupid and stupid on the field are incomparable to amateur football enthusiasts.
If you want to become a professional football player, you must have time. Football is different from other sports. Football must be started from childhood. There are no shortcuts.
For example, in basketball, many people who started playing basketball at the age of sixteen or seventeen or even in college can still play in the NBA. For example, Mark Eaton, the former NBA shot-blocking champion, repaired cars for three years after graduating from high school before starting to play basketball. , was already 25 years old when he participated in the draft, but he still holds the NBA's highest average single-game blocks record - averaging 5.56 per game.
Mark Eaton is not an exception. For example, David Robinson only started playing basketball in his senior year of high school; Stephen Nash only started formal basketball training after entering college; "The Great" Embiid came to the United States at the age of 17. I just started to learn basketball formally. Many "high school" rookies in the NBA back then actually only had three or four years of basketball experience.
In basketball, as long as you are talented enough and learn basketball for three or four years, you can really play professional games, even in the world's top professional leagues like the NBA. But in football, it is absolutely impossible to learn three or four years before playing in the four major European leagues. If you don’t start getting into contact with football until you are sixteen or seventeen, there are only two words: it’s too late!
Football king Pele has played football barefoot since he was a child; Maradona has regarded football as his favorite since he was three years old; Ronaldo, even though he grew up in a slum, still joined the youth football team at the age of eight; Ronaldinho , his father and brother are both players; Kaka, joined Sao Paulo at the age of 8; Messi started playing in the neighborhood youth team at the age of 5. As for those European football stars, such as Beckham, Zidane, Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, etc., they grew up in affluent Europe. They did not have to worry about eating since they were young. They were trained to become the final destination of professional teams when they were in elementary school. Object, you can play football without any worries.
There is no telling how talented these people are, but if you want to become a professional player, you need ten years of training, and formal football training requires at least five years. For example, those who can enter the four major European leagues before the age of 20 Almost all of them come from football families, and they started touching the ball before they could even walk.
But Zhang Guan has never had a record of playing football. Even if Zhang Guan has outstanding talent, he will not be able to reach the level of a professional player without two or three years of hard work. What's more, games like the World Preliminaries are different from professional leagues. Without enough competition experience, it is impossible to play in the world preliminaries.
Therefore, the entire South Korean team, whether starting or substituting, or even the coaching staff, ignored Zhang Guan's existence. Even though Zhang Guan was known as the greatest athlete in the world, the Korean team felt that Zhang Guan could not stir up anything. spray.
…
Outside the national football training camp, there were reporters who came to interview. Unfortunately, no reporters were able to enter the training venue. Coach Lippi seemed to want to keep the tactics confidential, so even the originally scheduled 15-minute media opening time was not allowed. cancelled. Hundreds of reporters squatted outside the training camp all day long, and not even a shadow of Zhang Guan was seen.
In the training camp, the national team goalkeeper Zeng Cheng looked at the goal behind him with a depressed expression. The football had been blocked by the net and then bounced to the ground.
"What the hell, it's like this again. There are four people in the midfield and five people in the backcourt. They just can't stop Zhang Guan! I thought Zhang Guan was just fast, but I didn't expect that his skills were so good! Even the defenders were fooled by him. !" Zeng Cheng thought silently.
Several other national football players also looked out of breath at this time. He didn't have the ball at his feet, but he couldn't catch up with Zhang Guan who had the ball at his feet. More importantly, Zhang Guan's extraordinary skills seemed to be teasing them. For example, if the cow's tail is used to pass through the crotch, if it is used on the field, it is a complete contempt for the defender, and if it is a change of speed during high-speed movement, it is completely bullying the defender's physical ability to keep up. Especially the gorgeous Marseille roundabout in the final shot, followed by a bicycle at his feet to deceive the goalkeeper, he was like an artist!
All players in the national team have to admit that Zhang Guan is far superior to other players in the national team, both physically and technically. It is estimated that Zhang Guan is definitely the top player in the world.
Even coach Lippi couldn't help but sigh: "Zhang Guan doesn't play football, he plays an art!"
…
In the system, Zhang Guan must have learned all the football-related skills. As for the athlete experience book, Zhang Guan finally chose the experience book of "alien" Ronaldo.
Who is the strongest striker in football history? This question may have a different answer in everyone's mind. Comparing who is more powerful between Ronaldo and Messi in their peak era is completely a question of Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong. There is no standard answer.
But when considering the current situation of the national team, Zhang Guan's range of choices is much smaller. The overall strength of the national team players is indeed far behind the world level, so Zhang Guan can only choose which personal hero Players who want to do their best do not need the cooperation of teammates as much as possible. After such a screening, only Maradona and Ronaldo are left.
Maradona was able to lead a weak team to win the championship. This ability to fight alone is regarded as the best in the world. As for Ronaldo, he is known as a player who does not need tactics, just give him the ball. The styles of these two people are extremely suitable for Zhang Guanzai's national team.
The main reason why Zhang Guan chose Ronaldo's experience book is because Ronaldo's career is closer to now. In contrast, Maradona was active in the last century after all, and it has been thirty or forty years since now. Over such a long period of time, football has been developing continuously. Whether Maradona’s experience is Zhang Guan cannot guarantee that he can still cope with modern football.
The football level of Asian countries is already far lower than the world average. With Ronaldo's personal ability at his peak, the defense of Asian countries is almost like paper. What's more, Zhang Guan is faster than Ronaldo in terms of speed, which means that the current Zhang Guan is equivalent to an enhanced version of Ronaldo.
…
On March 23, the Chinese team faced the South Korean team at home.
With 2 draws and 3 losses, the Chinese team only has the theoretical possibility of qualifying. If they lose this game, they may not even have the "theoretical possibility". As for the Korean team, their record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss gives them a good qualifying situation. If nothing unexpected happens, the Korean team only needs to record another 2 wins and 2 draws to ensure qualifying.
The camera was focused on Zhang Guan, and the audience gave warm applause and cheers, and the Chinese commentator was even more high-spirited. However, the Korean commentator had a dismissive tone.
"I thought it was a joke when I mentioned Zhang Guan playing football before, but I didn't expect him to actually dare to appear on the field. Let a person who has never participated in any football games come to play. This is simply a gift from the Chinese team. A victory!" the Korean commentator said.
"That's right. In this game, we, the Republic of Korea, have been able to score three points. Although the game has not started yet, we are already one step closer to qualifying." The commentator next to him said.
The game started soon. As the away team, the Korean team took the lead. Perhaps because of the away game, the Korean team played very conservatively at the beginning, just passing the ball back and forth in the backcourt, looking for opportunities. In the first few minutes, the Korean team had been controlling the rhythm of the game. The Chinese team could only stay prepared and be ready to defend at all times.
In the first three minutes, the South Korean team kept testing and only had a superficial taste of offense. It wasn't until the fourth minute that the South Korean team had a real attack. Ki Sung-yong sent a cross near the baseline on the left, and Ji Dong-won quickly followed up. The Chinese team destroyed the ball out of the baseline, and the Korean team got a corner kick. Then the Korean team's corner kick was caught by the goalkeeper, and the ball finally returned to the Chinese team's hands.
Zhang Guan stood waiting near the midfield, and the Chinese team's purpose was very clear, which was to pass the ball to Zhang Guan. After several back and forth transmissions, the ball finally reached Zhang Guan's feet.
"Zhang Guan caught the ball!" the commentator said excitedly, and the audience cheered in cooperation.
"Catching the ball in the middle is not a big threat." Ki Sung-yong pouted, and then won the ball in person. As the captain of the Korean team and a core player on the field, he naturally had to stand up at this time.
After Zhang Guan received the ball, he did not hesitate and rushed directly towards the South Korean team's penalty area with the ball.
"It's very fast, pay attention to your defense!" Ji Chengyong turned around and shouted at the backcourt players. When he turned around again, he found that Zhang Guan had already rushed forward.
"What! So fast!" Ji Chengyong was shocked. As for Zhang Guan, he suddenly accelerated and changed lanes, rushing past Ji Chengyong.
"I was passed! It was so fast. Even in the Premier League, I have never been passed so fast." Ki Sung-yong finally reacted and then turned around to chase after him. However, he found that he had no movement of the ball. , seems to be slower than Zhang Guan's running with the ball.
"That's it?" The players on the Korean team's back line were all shocked. Zhang Guan's pass seemed too easy. It was just a simple speed change. This is a simple technique for forward players, but It was this simple almost, but Ji Chengyong had no time to react.
The captain of the South Korean team, Ki Sung-yong, who can play as the main force in the Premier League, failed to hold on even when facing Zhang Guan.
Zhang Guan rushed to the Korean team's backcourt single-handedly, and the Korean team's center backs Jang Hyun-soo and Hong Zhengzhao double-teamed at the same time.
In football matches, the success rate of breaking through with the ball from the center is lower than that from the side, because breaking through from the center will encounter more defensive players, and it is certain to be flanked. When the wing breaks through, it will often lead to a one-on-one situation. Whether it is a breakthrough or a cross, it will be easier.
However, today, Zhang Guan's first attack with the ball was to break through from the middle. Facing the flanking attacks of Zhang Xianxiu and Hong Zhengzhao, Zhang Guan did not hesitate. His explosive power was fully developed. He dribbled the ball at high speed and penetrated his crotch, directly breaking through. Hong was just about to break into the restricted area.
"Not good!" Zhang Xianxiu secretly screamed in his heart. At the same time, he didn't care much and used his scissor feet to shovel up.
Zhang Guan was very fast, but this flying shovel hit Zhang Guan's calf, causing Zhang Guan to stumble violently. At this time, he has reached the edge of the penalty area. If he fell down, he would get an excellent free kick opportunity. However, Zhang Guan did not do this. He struggled to maintain the balance of his body because what he needed was not a free kick. , but a goal.
The opponent's goalkeeper had already attacked and pounced on the football, but Zhang Guan took the lead and controlled the ball at his feet. The next moment, Zhang Guan's upper body suddenly shook. The Korean goalkeeper was at a loss. Zhang Guan lost his center and sat down on the ground.
"The pendulum passes!"
Deafening cheers suddenly rang out from the audience. Zhang Guan faced the empty goal and pushed lightly with the side of his foot. The football flew into the goal while sticking to the ground.
The ball went in!
At 6 minutes and 32 seconds into the game, the Chinese team led 1-0!
…
"Is this a goal?" The commentator was still thinking about Zhang Guan's high-speed dribble, but in the blink of an eye, he saw that the ball had been kicked into the goal.
too suddenly!
It only took a few seconds for Zhang Guan to get the ball and score the goal. The commentator originally wanted to introduce a few words as usual, but Zhang Guan did not give him a chance to speak and directly dribbled the ball into the Korean team. In the penalty area, score the ball.
It took the next second for the commentator to react, and then he threw all those introductions behind him and shouted loudly.
"The ball is in! It's in! Zhang Guan scored the first goal for the Chinese team!"
