Nine and a half

Chapter 208: Participation is the most important thing? (National Football Team plot, daily transition)
Pre-match press conference.

The reporters were very enthusiastic.

Perrin's face became tangled as he heard the "expanding" questions one after another.

不久前，1比3输给马里、1比1平约旦、1比1平新西兰、0比0洪都拉斯、0比0巴勒斯坦的比赛，难道大家都忘了吗？

Why do these media hype up other national football players as Zidane, Ronaldo, Messi and Ramos?
Even in a narrow victory, we were still suppressed by the opponent.

A while ago, it was commented that the Chinese national football team might not even be able to beat Hong Kong.

Perrin couldn't understand why these media didn't recognize the gap and just exaggerated.

Once we lose, there will be overwhelming abuse.

"Cough cough!"

"The Chinese team's goal is to reach the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup!"

"We will develop our offense around Gao Qilai. He will have unlimited firing rights and freedom of attack in the national team, just like in the club."

clap clap clap!
There was thunderous applause.

The media reporters were very satisfied with this answer.

The other side.

Saudi Arabia coach Kuzemin had a serious expression on his face.

He was a coach temporarily "seconded" by the Saudi Football Association from the UAE League; he took over the national team for only half a month.

The personality is very different.

A few years ago, he was hated by the Saudi people because he violated religious taboos in his words during an interview.

"The Chinese men's football team has not beaten Saudi Arabia in 17 years!"

"I have studied the Chinese national football team's games. Their passing success rate is shockingly low, and their ball-stopping skills are even worse."

“Even if they have Gao Qi, they are not a threat to Saudi Arabia.”

Brisbane Stadium.

The three flags slowly withdrew from the field, scaring away the seagulls on the green field.

The referee team led the players from both teams out of the tunnel.

The stands suddenly erupted in cheers.

The surging red ocean shouted in unison: "Gao Qi!!!"

"Zhuangdianertai! Zhuangdianertai! Good evening, audience friends."

"The first round of Group B of the 2015 Asian Cup is about to begin."

"Saudi Arabia versus China."

"Pre-match ceremony, the national anthem is played!"

"The camera slowly moved across the faces of each player."

Red flags are waving.

The sea breeze ruffles her black hair.

The emotions of countless people were gradually moved, surging and passionate.

Gao Qi sang the national anthem with a serious look on his face.

A mechanical and cold electronic synthesized sound sounded quietly.

[Ding! Main quest triggered: Fight for the country. ]

[Task Introduction: The feeling of wearing the Chinese jersey will be unforgettable for you. Looking at the millions of spectators, you feel that you are representing the entire motherland at this moment, and there is a group of compatriots supporting you behind you.]

[Because of this emotion, you will do your best to participate in the game, repay the fans of your motherland, and win honor for your motherland. ]

【Start your legend in the national team! Win the Asian Cup! 】

[Quest Reward: Historical Legend·Dark Gold Treasure Box.]

"The following introduces you to the starting lineups of both sides."

"The Saudi team's formation is 4-4-2!"

"Goalkeeper: Abdullah."

"Defenders: Muwarad, Hausawi, Osman, Shahrani."

"Midfield: Davasari, Hariri, Basas, Farage."

"Forwards: Hazazi, Abid."

"the other side."

"The Chinese team also uses a 4-5-1 formation!"

"Goalkeeper: Wang Dalei."

"Defenders: Mei Fang, Ren Hang, Zhang Linpeng, Zhang Chengdong."

"Midfielders: Hao Junmin, Zheng Zhi, Gao Qi, Wu Xi, Wu Lei."

"Forward: Gao Lin."

Studio.

The comment area refreshed like crazy.
-
[Excited to see Gao Qi wearing the national team jersey. ]
-
[Perrin has come to his senses. Previously, he didn't use a technical midfielder. This time, he brought Hao Junmin. 】
-
[But in this lineup, several players are not in their best positions, especially in the back line.]
-
[I don’t understand Perrin’s tactics. He plays differently in every game.]
-
[What other tactics should be used? ]
-
[The Saudi team is very strong. We haven't beaten them in 17 years. Come on! ]

Beep!
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The game officially begins.

Saudi Arabia has the ball.

Hazazi passed the ball back to the backcourt.

No complicated delivery.

After receiving the ball, the Saudi defender immediately passed the ball to the side and raised his hand to direct the team to launch a massive attack.

“The pace is fast!”

"The ball was pushed across the halfway line."

"Beautiful! Hao Junmin's interception was successful."

“No sticky balls.”

"Precise pass with the outside of the foot!"

"Gao Lin!"

Gao Lin made a mistake in stopping the ball.

The football flew two meters outside.

He kicked the turf hard and regained control of the football.

At this time, the Saudi team had already returned to defense on a large scale.

No way.

Gao Lin could only pass the ball back and let his teammates reorganize the attack.

Time passes slowly.

Grandstand.

The leader of the Football Association, Ping Pong Cai, frowned: Isn't this the same as the previous game? If you can't get through, you just pass the ball backwards in the backcourt and get intercepted by the opponent.
"Playing football and playing table tennis have something in common."

“Let them try to pass the ball to Xiao Gao more often and don’t be afraid of turnovers downfield.”

Courtside.

Perrin spoke French.

Zhao Xudong, the translator who looks very much like Guo Degang, has very rich facial expressions and body language, and tries hard to convey instructions.

“Keep it simple!”

Assistant Coach Li blew his bangs and yelled at the players: "Don't be nervous, don't be afraid of mistakes, pay attention to Gao Qi's position!"

"Pass the ball to Gao Qi!"

Gao Qi feels pretty good.

The pressure is much less than that in Serie A, the Premier League and the Champions League.

By roaming in the area behind the two lines and making several false slant runs, he was able to easily widen the distance between the Saudi players.

Piece after piece of space.

"After the price depreciation, I became the richest man in the world."

bah bah bah.

It is "If the players all over the world reacted two seconds slower, I would become the greatest soccer player in history."

"Wang Dalei can't stand it anymore!"

"Towards the return pass."

"Drive hard!"

The football fell into the 40-meter area of ​​the Saudi half.

The stands on all sides began to cheer.

Gao Qi easily shook off the player who was guarding him and moved to the landing point at the most reasonable time.

This is not a difference in individual speed.

This is a gap in spatial perception.

The Saudi players were a little confused: How come this kid's prediction of the long pass route and landing point is a level higher than anyone else on the field?

"Wow!"

"The football that fell across half the field seemed to be stuck to Gao Qi's feet at this moment."

As the Saudi player approached.

Gao Qi has completed the connection between unloading the ball, passing the ball, and turning forward.

The moment Hao Junmin touched the ball, his body shook: This feeling was only felt when he cooperated with Raul in Schalke 04!
Without thinking too much.

Move sideways after flicking the ball.

At the Brisbane Stadium, the surging red sea burst into cheers.

On the green field, Chinese players launched a massive attack.

“Long-lost momentum!”

"Hao Junmin's pass!"

"Find Wu Lei at the far end!"

Courtside.

Perrin instinctively said in French: "Make full use of the width, flatten the Saudi defense, and then pull out the gaps!"

Then he tilted his head and kept urging: "Translate quickly! Translate quickly!"

"Okay, boss!"

Translator Zhao put his hands to his mouth in a trumpet shape and yelled at the top of his voice: "Keep passing the ball to Gao!"

the other side.

Saudi coach Kuzemin was also gesticulating excitedly in the command area.

Destroy a pass.

Then shrink the defense line.

Compress space.

Drag into positional warfare.

Even if the Chinese team has Giroud, it is not so easy to break through Saudi Arabia's goal!
"Wu Lei played very smartly. If he couldn't get in from the wing, he would just circle back!"

"Not bad!"

"Knock it over to Gao Lin in District 14!" "Gao Lin must not fall!"

Gao Lin is 185cm tall and looks tall and strong.

However, in the Chinese Super League, he was not only criticized for not scoring an empty goal, but was also mocked for "falling down at the slightest touch."

There are endless ways of falling, and Chinese Super League fans have made various funny GIFs.

His performance was not like that of a 'bridgehead' who could hold the ball in the frontcourt.

Can't fall!
Cherish this Asian Cup trip!

Gao Lin gritted his teeth and withdrew from the impact and pressure from the Saudi midfield.

Snapped!
Back to do.

The football rolled along the grass at a constant speed.

A taller figure came forward.

"Gao Qi!"

The commentator's voice trembled, and he had no time to describe Gao Qi's space capture and timing of insertion, and his start to shake off the defender.
Tens of thousands of spectators at the scene couldn't help but hold their breath.

The Chinese fans in front of the TV subconsciously clenched their fists.

In the game, there are always some stars who make people feel that "as long as this guy touches the ball in the dangerous area, he will have a chance to score."

No adjustments.

Gao Qi embraces the football.

Raise your arms.

Swing your legs.

With great strength.

Bah!
The roar that made all the Chinese fans excited resounded throughout the Brisbane Stadium.

The football is like a cannonball.

Howling.

Spinning.

It unstoppably penetrated the Saudi defense line with huge gaps.

Goalkeeper Abdullah was dumbfounded.

In the close-up shot, the spinning football "twists" the white net into a whirlpool.

Two seconds later, he released his violent force and slowly landed on the ground.

0:1! ! !

In the Brisbane Stadium, the plain and simple oriental language echoed in the stands on all four sides.

Even the commentator almost couldn't help but shout out "Awesome".

Gao Qi trotted to the sidelines with his arms open, as if he wanted to hug all the Chinese fans.

The cameras in various positions were shaking slightly.

Perrin, translator Zhao, and assistant coach Li also rushed over.

They fantasized about taking the lead.

But no one expected Gao Qi to be able to help the team gain an advantage so easily, domineeringly, and unreasonably.

It's so damn easy.

The fans were thrilled: how could they not be moved when they witnessed Gao Qi, wearing the national football team jersey, defeating his opponent?

"The ball is in!"

“Perfect timing for the run forward.”

“Unstoppable Startup.”

"A devastating artillery barrage hit the door."

"A perfect international debut."

“The pride of Chinese football!”

"Gao Qi scored the first national team goal in his career!"

"The opponent is the Asian powerhouse - Saudi Arabia."

"At this moment, countless Chinese compatriots around the world are calling out his name!"

The commentator could not hide his excitement.

Coach Zhang had no intention of talking about tactics and just kept praising incoherently.

Studio.

The goal-scoring process was replayed in slow motion.
-
【Dimensionality reduction strike! 】
-
[Even the Saudi Arabian team's defense can be torn apart so easily? Gao Qi is awesome! ]
-
[No way, it's that easy to get ahead? ]
-
[Look at Gao Qi's previous long pass, it was also the essence. For a moment, it seemed like a different dimension from the others.]
-
【We are no longer the football team that is bullied in Asia, right? 】
-
【Gao Qi, please take us to Russia! 】

In the stands.

Ping Pong Cai clapped vigorously, surprised and happy: "I just played with my phone for a while, and I scored a goal?"

He was once photographed by reporters while playing with his mobile phone with his head down during a national football match, which aroused public outrage across the Internet.

This Football Association leader has made great contributions to China's sports industry.

In the 1980s, he helped China win numerous honors as a player and was the first Chinese athlete to appear on a foreign stamp.

In the 1990s, he gave up his wealthy life in the Apennines and resolutely chose to return to China to coach. He turned the tide and trained countless outstanding juniors.

pity.

In 2014, he was pushed out to take the blame for the Football Association.

Otherwise, why would a grandmaster of table tennis betray his integrity and wade into the muddy waters of football in his later years?

Courtside.

Saudi coach Kuzemin anxiously instructed his disciples.

"We can't play so passively!"

"Intensify the attack!"

"If we lose the ball, we must not only limit Gao, but also keep a close eye on Hao Junmin!"

The Saudi players looked helpless.

Most of the defensive forces were 'absorbed' by Gao Qi.

The defense line is already very loose, so there are no resources left to restrict others.

The game resumes.

The Saudi team kicks off from the center circle.

The formation quickly pressed forward.

"The opponent has adjusted."

"Make full use of the third man's movement to tear apart the Chinese team's midfield barrier!"

“The delivery is very fast!”

“Saudis are very athletic!”

“The control is pretty good too.”

"The impact of this Hazazi is deadly!"

Chinese fans gradually reacted.

After all, the opponent is the Saudi team, which has positional advantages in multiple positions.

Snapped!
Hazard pushed the ball forward.

Kicking the grass hard.

The ball passed.

Breaking through the Chinese team's midfield barrier.

Assistant Coach Li on the sidelines blew his bangs, waved his hands and roared again, signaling the players to sink faster.

He looked so anxious, as if he wanted to kick it himself.

Ku Zeming was equally anxious and excited.

He was mumbling something, probably saying something that was religiously taboo.

"Foolish Perrin, dare you fight us?"

"Danger!"

"oops!"

"Hazazi slipped and fell without any confrontation!"

"Slippery feet!"

"Mei Fang controls the ball and passes it back to the goalkeeper!"

"We need to slow down the pace. The Saudi team is very strong these days. Wow! Wang Dalei kicks the ball again!"

"Gao Qi is the only one left in the front court."

"Dog with Frisbee!"

The camera quickly moves to the front court.

Gao Qi shook off the Saudi player who was guarding him and rushed towards the landing point.

The three Saudi players were ready to go.

Perrin said nothing.

Zhao the translator, like AI, called on other national football players to hurry up and cooperate.

Ku Zeming yelled at his disciples to hurry up and get into position, and at the same time made a "grab, grab, grab" gesture with his fingers to let the three disciples on the high defensive line close the distance between them.

Don’t let your opponent easily form a chain of counterattacks, you must be able to defend against it!

Even if Gao Qi is a superman, it is impossible for him to kill three enemies at once in a static start!

Followed by.

An unexpected scene happened!

China No. 9.

Dribble the ball gently.

Start charging.

"This is."

"Charge alone!"

"A Saudi defender is approaching!"

"Gao Qi wants to go outside."

"Wow!"

Everyone's eyes widened.

Gao Qi pushed the ball forward.

In an instant, incredible speed broke out.

The billboard in the close-up becomes increasingly blurry!
Fly through the clouds!

Ride on Hot Wheels!
It seemed like a bolt of lightning struck the Saudi half!
The Saudi defender seemed to be blown away by a hurricane and staggered to the ground.

Three seconds later.

Gao Qi received the ball passed to him.

"He ate up the entire Saudi defense line alive!"
