Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 73 Great Zlatan Possessed? Ambulance Arrives! (Seeking First Subscription!)

The first half has ended.

3: 1!

Despite a dream start, Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors coach Choi Kang-hee never expected his team to be overtaken by Guangzhou Evergrande to this extent.

Especially since their own team was clearly dominated by that number 28 from Guangzhou Evergrande.
"Ashiba!!!"

In a state of rage.

As soon as Choi Kang-hee entered the room, he kicked the tactical board that was blocking his way to the ground.

"What about oppression?"

"What happened to the pressure I mentioned on those Chinese players?"

"Why was Lee Seung-ki the only one who did it?"

"."

We've already used all the tactics: central penetration, high-pressure pressing, even crosses from the wings and overlapping runs into the penalty area.

If they still can't break through Evergrande's goal under these circumstances, then Choi Kang-hee can only think that his players should make sacrifices for the team!
"Jung Hyuk!"

Just like before in the K League!
Without any hesitation, Choi Kang-hee began issuing strict orders to his highly skilled team members!

The away team's locker room was filled with Choi Kang-hee's roars.

Meanwhile, in the home team's locker room...

Lippi, on the other hand, praised each and every player with a smile.

Despite falling behind early and Conca being injured, the fact that the team managed to do this without much adjustment is already very gratifying for Lippi.

Of course, the old man also saw Su Hao, who was everywhere on the field.

The old man also knew that his team was able to come back from a 3-1 deficit to take the lead because of Su Hao's tireless running and playmaking.

However, Lippi, who had been aware of the dirty tricks of these South Koreans since 02, also began to worry.

"Su! Be careful in the second half, this is just a group stage match! And we're already two goals ahead!"

This was the first time the old man had said something like this to the players in the locker room, telling them not to push themselves too hard.

There was nothing he could do. Conca was injured too, and if Su Hao got hurt by the Koreans, the old man would be heartbroken!

"Understood, boss!"

Seeing how much Lippi cared about him, Su Hao naturally nodded in agreement immediately!

However, after smiling at himself, the old man turned to the other players and began issuing orders.

"Rong! You're coming on in the second half, Sun, come off!"

Sure enough, the stern-faced old man who was unsmiling during the game remained the same decisive and efficient person in the locker room.

Having lost their position at the start of the game and being on the back foot for the entire first half, the old man decisively substituted Rong Hao for Sun Xiang, who was already over thirty years old.

Upon hearing that he had been substituted, the veteran national team player, who was once China's first Champions League winner, lowered his head and remained silent.

He knew his story at Evergrande was coming to an end!

The strong prey on the weak, and the capable rise to the top!
This is the cruelest aspect of professional football!

However, compared to Sun Xiang's disappointment, Rong Hao was overjoyed to hear that his wife had finally become a mother-in-law.

She even couldn't help but look at Su Hao.

Rong Hao thought Zhang Linpeng's assist in the first half was...
他上
He can do it too!

The 15-minute halftime break ended quickly.

The match resumed after the two teams switched sides.

First, Evergrande had possession of the ball.

After the whistle blew, Gao Lin skillfully passed the ball directly to Su Hao behind him, and then quickly moved forward into the heart of Jeonbuk Hyundai's backfield.

Elkeson and Yu Hanchao strolled leisurely along the wing.

The old man said during halftime that Jeonbuk Hyundai would continue their high-pressure pressing in the first ten minutes of the second half.

Sure enough, the moment Gao Lin handed the ball to Su Hao...

Lee Dong-guk and Enio rushed straight towards Su Hao without hesitation.

In the minds of South Korean players, as long as they press aggressively, those Chinese players with weak basic skills will lose the ball even without them double-teaming them.

only!
This tactic is completely ineffective against this 16-year-old Evergrande number 28.

Facing a double attack from Enio and Lee Dong-gook.

Su Hao simply used his right foot to first flick the ball to the left, and after dodging Eninho's outstretched right foot, he used his left foot to flick the ball to the right.

Beneath a perfectly artistic fried meatball.

Su Hao then broke free from the double attack of the two!
"Pretty!"

"That was a beautiful shot!"

"Su Hao's footwork is talent, it's something you're born with, you can't train it!"

"He Wei, tell me, how many years has it been since we've had someone in China with such a soft and comfortable feel underfoot!"

Huang Jianxiang, watching from the commentary booth, couldn't help but admire Su Hao's exceptional skills.

Similarly, the Evergrande fans in the stands, who had been chanting for more than fifty minutes, were once again stirred up by Su Hao's agile footwork.

Two people were bypassed!
Su Hao naturally didn't hesitate to start using his super long legs along the middle road.

In an instant, Su Hao crossed the center circle and faced Zheng He and Kim Jung-woo!

However, this time Su Hao did not choose to confront the two directly!

With a flick of his left foot, Su Hao passed the ball to Zheng Zhi, who was following up, and then he bypassed Zheng Zhi and charged straight into Jeonbuk Hyundai's penalty area.

After that header goal in the first half, Coach Lippi immediately gave the order to strike hard at Jeonbuk's weak points.

“Here we go again!”

"Zheng Zhi!"

"Send the ball at an angle!"

"Yu Hanchao has started!"

"Although Xiaoyu's overall impact can't match Muriqui's, his dribbling skills alone are enough to get past a Korean!"

On the field!
Just as Huang Jianxiang said.

The moment he received the ball, Yu Hanchao kicked off the turf and began his furious run.

Li Chengqi rushed forward to intercept, but his right foot had just been kicked down by Qin Sheng, which significantly affected his starting speed.

Before anyone could react, Yu Hanchao had already devoured Li Chengqi with sheer speed.

Meanwhile, Jeonbuk Jung-ro!

Su Hao was already planted directly inside the penalty area.

Su Hao had already taken his position.

Without hesitation, Yu Hanchao sent the ball directly into Jeonbuk Hyundai's penalty area with his left foot from the edge of the penalty area.

This time!
It was still a double attack by Zheng Renhuan and Lin Yuhuan.

Having learned from their previous experience, these two seasoned veterans were well-prepared this time.

Zheng Renhuan grabbed Su Hao's jersey with his right hand, while Lin Yuhuan wrapped his right arm around Su Hao's waist!
Lin Yuhuan's left hand was almost clenched into Su Hao's sunflower.
Zheng Renhuan and Lin Yuhuan thought that with this kind of pincer attack, let alone Su Hao, even if that monster Drogba came, they could defend against it.

However.
Soon, a scene that left Zheng Renhuan and Lin Yuhuan completely dumbfounded unfolded.

Su Hao!

The Guangzhou Evergrande number 28, who had previously rammed into the two of them like a bull in the penalty area, actually fell to the ground immediately after jumping!
And I paid it back as well.
She screamed in agony, "Ah!"
That one sound brought everyone inside the penalty area to a standstill.

At the same time, the referee blew his whistle and rushed over.

Zheng Renhuan and Lin Yuhuan watched as the referee pulled out a card, and they thought to themselves, "This is bad!"

as predicted!

Seeing that Zheng Renhuan was still tugging at Su Hao's clothes, the referee did not hesitate to show a yellow card to Zheng Renhuan for the foul, and also awarded Guangzhou Evergrande a penalty kick.

Tianhe Stadium erupted in cheers!

The South Korean fans in the away team's section, however, were not having it.

It's worth noting that South Korean teams have almost never been penalized with penalties when they face Chinese teams!

Especially when the referee is from West Asia!

Although we didn't see what happened inside the penalty area.

However, South Korean fans firmly believe that Su Ho definitely faked the fall!

"This ball"

"Um"

"Su Hao."

In the commentary booth, Huang Jianxiang managed to suppress a laugh as he watched the slow-motion replay.

To be honest, in slow motion, Su Hao's fall was indeed a bit exaggerated.

but
In an official match!

This exaggerated fall is not some kind of unorthodox method!
"Su Hao may be young, but he's certainly experienced!"

"There was absolutely no problem with this penalty!"

"I have to say, He Wei, how many times have you seen a South Korean concede a penalty kick on our home turf?"

47th minute of the match!

Guangzhou Evergrande scored their fourth goal of the match thanks to a penalty won by Su Hao, which was converted by Elkeson.

4: 1!

This goal completely deflated the Jeonbuk players, who had initially planned to launch a strong attack at the start of the game.

In front of the substitutes' bench!

It was clear that Su Hao had just made a move that Lippi couldn't help but laugh.

Football IQ, experience, the ability to read the game, and even this kind of adaptability.
Honestly, even someone like Silver Fox, who has seen world-class players like Zidane, has to admit that Su Hao is a freak.

16 years old.
What on earth is wrong with this guy?
When the opponent is going all out, this kind of penalty kick is definitely the last straw that breaks the camel's back!
really!

The moment Elkeson sent the ball into the net, Choi Kang-hee, standing not far from the bench, was the first to lose his composure.

It seems they sensed that South Korea had suffered unfair rulings from the West Asian referee.

Cui Kangxi roared angrily at the fourth official.

only!

Choi Kang-hee made a mistake. The West Asian referees' bias towards the South Korean team doesn't mean they like South Koreans; it simply means they dislike Chinese people more.

After Choi Kang-hee's outburst, the fourth official immediately reported everything that had happened on the sidelines to the referee!
Thus, a Ruby God of War card was born.

Choi Kang-hee was mercilessly sent to the stands by the referee.

Trailing by three goals, the head coach was sent off.

this moment!
Both Evergrande fans and Jeonbuk fans know that the outcome of this match is no longer in doubt.

However.
That is, after the outcome of the match was truly decided, the most infuriating moment for Guangzhou Evergrande fans arrived on the field.

After the game restarted.

Enraged, the Jeonbuk players began to commit all sorts of rough fouls against Su Hao on the court.

51th minute of the match!

Su Hao has just received the ball in midfield.

Kim Jung-woo, whose limelight had been completely stolen by Su Hao and who had been restricted until now, made a brutal sliding tackle.

Fortunately, Su Hao had anticipated this and jumped up just as Kim Jung-woo's right foot was about to land on Su Hao's ankle.

Su Hao escaped unharmed.

Kim Jung-woo was only given a warning by the referee.

54th minute of the match!

Su Hao moved to the wing, used a mesmerizing touch and turn to fool Lee Dong-gook, and was about to pass the ball to Zheng Zhi in the middle when...
South Korean captain Lee Dong-gook simply and roughly tore a corner off Su Hao's jersey.

Moreover, after the referee showed the yellow card, he spat in Su Hao's direction!
Seeing that the old bastard had started spitting, Su Hao naturally didn't back down and spat back at him. Su Hao wasn't one to take a loss lying down!
What's even more outrageous is what happened in the 59th minute of the match.

It's still Su Hao!
On the left flank, Yu Hanchao, who had nearly driven Lee Seung-ki crazy, executed a mesmerizing one-two with Su Hao and once again delivered the ball to Su Hao's feet.

Before Su Hao could even accelerate after receiving the ball, he was tackled to the ground by an enraged Li Chengqi.

This time!
The pent-up anger of both teams finally erupted.

Seeing Su Hao being tackled by Li Chengqi right in front of him, Yu Hanchao pushed Li Chengqi without saying a word.

Lee Seung-ki, on the other hand, pretended to be pitiful and collapsed to the ground, clutching his chest!
After that, Zheng Zhi rushed up to face Lee Dong-gook, and Park Hee-tao faced off against Qin Sheng!
Tian Guanghuan and Zhang Linpeng stood facing each other.

As for Su Hao!

Despite being knocked down, Su Hao didn't waste a second and immediately got up to look at Li Chengqi, who was lying on the grass instead.

After the conflict ended, Yu Hanchao deliberately pushed someone and received a yellow card.

And because the referee was sent off, plus he pretended to fall to the ground.

Lee Seung-ki, the culprit who injured Conca and also knocked down Su Hao, surprisingly remained on the field.

Seeing that Li Chengqi hadn't been sent off, Su Hao finally felt relieved and rubbed his still aching right ankle.

The game started again.

With their momentum waning, Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors no longer had any structured attacks.

Meanwhile, Evergrande continued their relentless attack on Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors.

65th minute!

Su Hao, who had been trying to set up his teammates, finally acted selfishly.

After a series of passes with Qin Sheng and Elkeson.

Su Hao pretended to pass the ball to Zheng Zhi, who was following up beside him.

Just as Zheng He, who was marking him, turned his head, Su Hao created an angle and slammed his right foot into the ball!
"boom!!!"

A bang!
The football suddenly shot up from the ground, turning into a white streak and slamming into the corner of the goal!

Su Hao scored twice!

5: 1!

The nightmare from a year ago is repeating itself.

And it seemed that the outcome of the match was no longer in doubt.

Su Hao also began to slowly move his activity area toward Li Chengqi's direction.

Su Hao hadn't forgotten that kick.

70th minute of the match!

Just as Lippi was warming up Zhao Xuri on the sidelines, intending to replace Su Hao,

Zeng Cheng sent a long ball to the left wing!
As for why the long kick was made to the left wing, it was naturally because Su Hao had positioned himself on the left wing in advance and raised his hand to ask Zeng Cheng for the ball.

Zeng Cheng's big feet are very accurate.

The football flew through the air above Tianhe Stadium and finally landed in Su Hao's direction.

And that location!
Knowing full well that he couldn't beat Su Hao, he still felt he had to at least do something for Su Hao.

Li Chengqi and Su Hao jumped up together.

However.
What Lee Seung-ki never dreamed of was...

That man, who is 1.91 meters tall, didn't jump to contest the header at all!

It stands in mid-air!

Su Hao clenched his right fist, then slightly bent his right hand, and glanced down at the approximate location of Li Chengqi's stick.

Like the man named Lü Bu, Su Hao fiercely swung his elbow at the filthy Korean!

"Beep!!!"

"Beep!!!"

"Beep!!!"

The referee blew his whistle sharply!
The sixteen-year-old boy, wearing a red jersey with the number 28, landed slowly and walked directly to the sidelines without hesitation.

At his feet lay Lee Seung-ki, clutching his head and screaming in agony.

Behind him were more than 50,000 crazy, roaring Evergrande die-hards!
And in front of him!
It just so happens to be Conca, the key player for Evergrande, who excitedly shouted "yes" and then jumped up while his left foot was wrapped in an ice pack!
of course!

On the back of his number 28 jersey!
It was a bright red card that was eye-catching on the field, but also very vivid!

"David has a bit of a temper!"

In the VIP stands!
Giuseppe Marotta, who hadn't said much throughout, suddenly laughed after seeing Su Hao's absolutely explosive elbow strike.

"Haha, dear Marotta, you should know he's only 16! Isn't 16 the age when people are supposed to be hot-tempered?"

"Haha, you're right, but to be honest, that elbow strike from that guy just reminded me of Zlatan!"

On the field!
Su Hao walked confidently towards the players' tunnel.

Lippi smiled and walked over to Su Hao, affectionately patting Su Hao's head.

Although Lippi knew that his precious player would be suspended again, he didn't seem angry at all!
even
Even the old man felt that Su Hao's elbow strike had somehow resolved his long-standing animosity towards South Korea that had been building up since 02!
And in the stands!

At this moment, all 50,000+ Evergrande fans stood up.

applause!
Cheers!
A frantic roar!

All of this seemed to be a celebration of their crown prince's formal ascension to the throne!
It was amidst this frenzied outcry that...

David Lippi suddenly stood up!

"Marotta!"

"listen!"

"listen!"

"This is just the cheers of 50,000 people!"

"I know I've heard this cheer countless times at the Juventus Stadium!"

"But you know what?"

"This is China!"

"This is China, a country with 13 billion people!"

"I heard more than just cheers!"

"What I hear is the call of countless riches!"

"China is so big!"

"and!"

"Chinese people are really too rich!"

"trust me!"

"Marotta! Sign Sue! You can absolutely make your old lady stand at the top of the world again!"

At first, Marotta didn't feel anything.

David knew all too well what kind of agent he was.

He was immune to even the nonsense conned by that fat Raiola, let alone David Lippi, who was nothing special in Europe.

He came here only because of David's father.

But
why!
Why is it that my eyes have never left that number 28 of the Chinese team since the start of the game?
That indescribable talent!

And that fake fall
Even that domineering elbow strike just now!
I have to say, Marotta is really tempted!
Especially at this moment when the sky is ablaze with red.

He seemed to see the same scene that David Lippi had described!
A pair.
The scene of the old woman standing atop the world again!

"Hey! Can you see this? How many is it?"

The Tianhe Stadium was buzzing with excitement.

While all Evergrande fans were worshipping their Evergrande crown prince.

The South Korean team doctor hurriedly opened Lee Seung-ki's eyelids.

Is he stupid?

Left with no other option, the Jeonbuk team doctor had to call an ambulance.
