Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 58 is all B, so why am I S and you're Cow? (Please continue reading)

With a resounding 6-0 victory over Thailand, Guangzhou Evergrande secured three points and reclaimed the top spot in their group, surpassing Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors.

However, with the tight schedule, the entire Evergrande team had virtually no time to rest.

4 month 4 day.

The day after Evergrande's AFC Champions League campaign ended, the entire Evergrande team traveled to Beijing on Xu's private plane.

The fourth round of the Chinese Super League is coming.

In this round, Evergrande's opponent is no longer a minnow team.

Beijing Guoan!

The team was founded on December 29, 1992, and is one of the earliest professional football clubs established in China.

Moreover, since its inception, Beijing Guoan has consistently remained in the championship zone of China's top professional league.

However, perhaps due to bad luck, it wasn't until seventeen years after the team's founding that Beijing Guoan, which always took "Guoan will always strive for first place" as its slogan, finally won its first top-tier league championship!
In the past two years, with Evergrande sparking a frenzy of big-spending football, Beijing Guoan, backed by a giant enterprise, has naturally begun to increase its investment.

At the beginning of the season, Beijing Guoan let go of Portuguese coach Pacheco, whose performance had been mediocre, on the grounds that his contract had expired, and instead signed Serbian Aleksandar Stanojevic.

What made Beijing Guoan interested was Alexander Stanojevic's extremely impressive coaching resume!
In 2009, he led the Serbian U-19 national team to third place in the European U-19 Football Championship!
In 2010, at the age of 37, Stanojevic became the youngest head coach in the history of Partizan Belgrade. In the same year and the following year, he led Partizan Belgrade to two league titles. What excited the fans the most was that Stanojevic also helped the team reach the Champions League group stage.

In addition to strengthening the head coach position, Beijing Guoan also spent a lot of money to bring in Brazilian striker Lima and Uzbek center-back Krimets after sending away Manu, Reinaldo, François and others. They also retained Matic, Kanoute and Grond.

With the addition of these five foreign players, Stano can make various formation changes to the team with ease.

Of course, all this so-called enhancement and embellishment is just talk to other teams in the Chinese Super League!
There's nothing they can do; all Evergrande needs to do is play Lippi, and they can completely crush Beijing Guoan.
April 6, 2013, 7 p.m. Beijing time.

A red bus carrying the entire Evergrande team entered the Workers' Stadium's internal passageway on time.

Fueled by a resounding victory in the AFC Champions League, this highly anticipated clash between the North and South of the Chinese Super League attracted nearly 5000 Guangzhou fans to Beijing.

"Conca!"

"Su Hao!"

"Conca!"

"Su Hao!!!"

Unlike before, nowadays, with the increasingly crazy performance of Evergrande's own crown prince, these die-hard fans who used to only shout Conca's name are starting to gradually shift their enthusiasm towards Su Hao.

Pre-match press conference!
Unlike other domestic coaches who immediately bow and scrape to Lippi upon meeting him, the ambitious Stano did not.

Furthermore, Stano told the camera that he and his team wanted to thank their fans for their support with a victory in front of their home crowd!

Forehead.
As soon as Stano finished speaking, Lippi, who was sitting next to him, grinned.

then
After returning to the away team's locker room, the old man, for the first time ever, took out a tactical board and gathered everyone together before the game.

"Su! You and Conca are on the same line, Zheng! The defense is up to you!"

"."

The Evergrande players were a bit surprised. Hadn't they previously decided to keep Su Hao in the defensive midfield position?
What's going on? It's ahead of schedule again?

Is this a plan to annihilate Beijing Guoan at their home ground?
"Zhuang Dian'er Tai!"

"Zhuang Dian'er Tai!!!"

"This is a live broadcast of the fourth round of the 2013 Chinese Super League!"

"Beijing Guoan Home Stadium VS Guangzhou Evergrande!"

7:50 AM Beijing time!
Huang Jianxiang began his commentary from the commentary booth, providing some information about the match before the live broadcast. The Workers' Stadium DJ, as is customary at the stadium, announced the starting lineups for both teams.

"Yang Zhi!"

"Roar!!!"

The names of the players from Beijing Guoan were called out first, and every time a player's name was called, the more than 3 Guoan fans in the Workers' Stadium stands would give a long shout.

But
The atmosphere changed immediately after the names of the Guangzhou Evergrande players were announced!
"Zeng Cheng, number 19!"

"Stupid!"

"Number 5, Zhang Linpeng!"

"Stupid!"

"."

In the player tunnel, Su Hao, who was quietly waiting to come on, was genuinely shocked by the loud and ridiculous shouts.

"These idiots! The Workers' Stadium is the place I hate the most!"

Su Hao was still mentally criticizing the Beijing Guoan fans for being a little bit...
However, Zhang Linpeng, who was called an idiot by name, couldn't help but start cursing back.

His outburst naturally caught the attention of the Beijing Guoan players.

Of course, since it was their own fans who were in the wrong, the Guoan players just glanced at them and didn't cause any more trouble!

"Number 28, Kim Young-kwon!"

"Stupid!"

And so, from the goalkeeper to the defenders, the Guoan fans didn't spare a single one.

At first, Zhang Linpeng was a little angry, but after Zheng Zhi was also called an idiot, Zhang Linpeng immediately turned around with a mischievous smile and hugged Su Hao.

"Xiao Hao, don't mind the fans swearing at you like that. Calling someone an idiot isn't the worst thing. Just take it as a joke!"

Zhang Linpeng planned to comfort Su Hao in advance.

But what baffled Zhang Linpeng was...
Even though everyone was being called idiots by the Guoan fans, after the DJ shouted "Number 28 Su Hao!!!"

Beijing Guoan fans actually changed it on the spot!
“Awesome!!!”

Dig a hole!!!

What's the situation?
Zhang Linpeng was a little confused!

And it's even a little embarrassing!

"Haha, comforting? Keep comforting me! You're killing me!"

Seeing Zhang Linpeng's embarrassed expression, Sun Xiang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The other Guoan players turned to look at Su Hao with some surprise after hearing his own fans shout "Awesome!"

"These Beijing Guoan fans are quite discerning! Xiao Hao just joined the national team."

Feng Xiaoting has spoken out!

Well, after Feng Xiaoting said that, everyone present immediately understood.

It's normal for Beijing Guoan fans to call others idiots because of league competition, but it's also normal for them to praise Su Hao, the rising star of the national team who helped China thrash Iraq in the recent Asian Cup qualifiers!
