Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

2013 5 Month 11 Day.

Chinese Super League Round 9.

Although the AFC Champions League Round of 16 is in 4 days.

However, Lippi still sent Su Hao and the other key players to face Liaoning Hongyun, who were near the relegation zone in the league.

Nothing unexpected happened.

Even without Conca and Muriqui.

With Su Hao anchoring the midfield, Guangzhou Evergrande easily took a 3-0 lead against Liaoning, a team hampered by a group of veterans, in just 45 minutes.

Su Hao was involved in all three goals, contributing one assist and one goal.

This one goal and one assist propelled Su Hao to the top of both the Chinese Super League's top scorer and assist charts with a total of 8 goals and 9 assists.

Of course, this double top ranking has once again become the latest entry in Su Hao's Chinese Super League record book.

During halftime, in preparation for the upcoming AFC Champions League knockout stage, Lippi did not hesitate to substitute Liao Lisheng for Su Hao.

It has to be said that, thanks to the presence of Su Hao, Liao Lisheng, who was originally only expected to come into the public eye at the end of 2013, has now successfully entered the first tier of Evergrande's rotation squad.

If it weren't for the fact that Evergrande's main players are indeed too strong, Liao Lisheng could even have challenged for a starting position.

4: 1!

Although Su Hao was substituted, Evergrande still managed to score a goal in the second half, ultimately ending their ninth round of the league with a resounding victory.

Because the match was held in the afternoon, the team needed to have more time to prepare that evening.

The entire Evergrande team boarded Xu Jiaying's private jet and flew to Australia in the evening.

From Guangzhou to Australia.

Even with a private plane, the entire flight took a full nine hours.

Until around 2am.

The plane carrying the entire Evergrande team finally landed slowly at Sydney International Airport in Australia.

Although it's more than 70 kilometers away from Gosford, the home city of the Coast Mariners, Coach Xu booked an entire floor of a 6-star hotel next to the Sydney Opera House to avoid tiring his team out.

At 2:30 a.m., the entire Evergrande team finally arrived at the hotel entrance, dragging their exhausted bodies.

However, to the surprise of the Evergrande players, it was already past 2 a.m.

There was even a group of international student fans waving national flags and shouting "Go Evergrande!" gathered at the hotel entrance!
It's past 2 a.m.!
Being suddenly surrounded by such a group of lovely fans, to be honest, even the most exhausted body was instantly revitalized.

All the players, including Zheng Zhi, walked over to the international students and actively interacted with the fans, but...
The awkward thing is that the group of international students didn't seem to be very interested in Lao Zheng and his group, but instead all swarmed around Su Hao.

He signed autographs, took photos, and many female fans even wrapped their arms around Su Hao's arms for photos.

"Damn it, I knew it!"

Seeing himself become Su Hao's background again, Gao Feiji could only complain with a sour expression.

With the AFC Champions League knockout stage approaching, many Guangzhou Evergrande fans with the financial means have begun to fly to Australia in large numbers.

And at the same time.

The scouting departments of major European clubs have also unanimously set their sights on Australia.

no way!
Just a few days ago, a new scouting report on Su Hao, a 16-year-old Chinese national team player, was published on the homepage of Football Talent Scout, the world's most authoritative youth scouting website.

This is the first time a Chinese name has appeared on this website that only focuses on geniuses.

Moreover, the scouting report's evaluation of Su Hao was so exaggerated that it reached a level never before seen since the website's inception.

Not only are the ratings ridiculously high, but this report is also the first to show a level of comparison where there are no existing celebrity templates to use.

In addition, since Bayern Munich's previous offer of eight million euros was not accepted by Guangzhou Evergrande, the scouting report directly set a transfer fee of 1000 million euros for Su Hao.

16 years old!
Valued at 1000 million euros, this is also a record for the website.

In the report!
Su Hao's physical fitness was rated SS.

His passing was a perfect SSS!
Other attributes like speed, ball intelligence, and growth rate are all S-level!

The pure S-level super genius rating was thus created.

The moment this report appeared on the website, all the major clubs in European football were naturally shaken.

of course!

Compared to other top teams that hadn't paid attention to Su Hao before, Bayern Munich is in a tough spot.

Bayern Munich were the first to set their sights on Su Hao, and even the first to make an offer, but what about now?
In the Premier League...

Professor Wenger, who served as a stepping stone for geniuses, naturally began collecting detailed match data on Su Hao immediately after seeing the report.

After witnessing Su Hao's absolutely outrageous and spectacular performances in the Asian Cup qualifiers, the AFC Champions League, and the Chinese Super League, Wenger dispatched his own scouts to Australia without hesitation.

Moreover, Wenger gave his scouts considerable say.

In Wenger's words, if that Chinese player is willing, he will definitely have a place in Arsenal's starting lineup next season!

That's the professor for you. Putting everything else aside, when it comes to giving opportunities to young players, he's absolutely unparalleled in the world.

With the professor involved, Ferguson, his old rival who is about to retire, naturally wouldn't be left behind.

Especially after the Jazz watched the video and saw that incredibly familiar way of playing football.

This also brings to mind Manchester United's recent financial problems.
It seems that the Jazz are also thinking about giving up their stubbornness and making some promises to this young man.
Premier League teams have made their moves.

Clubs in the Bundesliga and La Liga, which are keen on developing young players to make money, are naturally eager to try it out.

After all, this is the first time ever that a Football Talent Scout has received a pure S-level report!

Football Talent Scout is making a strong showing!
That's why this AFC Champions League Round of 16 match, which only has some influence in Asia, has attracted the attention of the entire European football world!

Scouts from all over the world began to flock to Australia.

Su Hao, the person in question, naturally noticed something amiss.

This was clearly just a simple open training session by Evergrande.

Suddenly, a large number of foreigners appeared in the stands, filming themselves with cameras.

"Damn it, it's so frustrating to compare yourself to others! Xiao Hao, I think you'll be playing in one of the top five European leagues in less than two months."

Seeing so many foreigners watching Su Hao as if he were a giant panda, they were all staring at him.

Old Qin immediately started to complain sourly.

"Alright, enough talk, let's get to training and take down the coastal sailors first!"

When Lao Qin made a sarcastic remark, Zheng Zhi, naturally very adept at it, kicked him in the butt, making Lao Qin shut his mouth immediately.

that's it!
Three days passed quickly.

2013 5 Month 15 Day.

The AFC Champions League Round of 16, which countless Evergrande fans have been eagerly anticipating, has finally arrived.

It was 6:30 p.m. that day.

The bus carrying the entire Evergrande team arrived on time inside the passageway of the Zhongyang Coast Stadium.

And that was accompanied by the appearance of a bright red color.

The Evergrande fans, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately swarmed over.

"Su Hao!"

"Su Hao!"

"Su Hao!!!"

Conca was already slowly being forgotten, and now he's injured again.

Su Hao naturally became the only Evergrande superstar in the eyes of the fans.

Of course, more interesting than the fans' frenzied shouts were the scouts from the major clubs.

These experienced scouts have honestly never seen a 16-year-old player with such a huge fan base.

It was in this kind of crazy atmosphere that...

Before the match even started, the scouts were already writing down the first rating of the team's commercial value as S in their reports.

7 p.m.

The scene of the pre-match press conference.

Central Coast Mariners manager Graham Arnold was waiting at the press conference table early.

Knowing that he and Lippi were not on the same level, both in terms of age and experience, Graham Arnold, like any other coach in Asia, kept praising Lippi throughout the press conference.

As for Coach Lippi...

He'd seen far too many of these kinds of compliments.

Lippi was so tired of using polite words to appease Graham and Arnold's compliments that he stopped bothering with them.

Of course, the press conference wasn't entirely without substance.

At least the Australian journalists asked Lippi a question that is currently being watched by the entire football world.

"Mr. Lippi, do you think that 16-year-old Chinese player in your squad is really as good as the Football Talent Scout report suggests?"

Football Talent Scout?
Lippi had naturally already seen that record-breaking scouting report.

With a slight smirk, the old man pulled up the microphone after hearing the Australian reporter's question.

"Yes! However, I feel that the Football Talent Scout report is still lacking in evaluation of Su Hao's other characteristics!"

The old man didn't elaborate.

But that smiling face proved everything.

The old man's words not only acknowledged Football Talent Scout's rating, but also suggested that the rating was somewhat low.
"Zhuang Dian'er Tai!"

"Zhuangdianertai!!!" "This is a live broadcast of the 2013 AFC Champions League Round of 16!"

Guangzhou Evergrande away game against Coast Mariners!

"The players from both teams are already standing in their respective halves of the field!"

"The referee is checking his watch too!!!"

"Beep!!!"

"With the referee's whistle!"

"The competition has officially begun!"

"First, let's look at the starting lineups for both sides!"

"Zeng Cheng, the starting goalkeeper for Guangzhou Evergrande, wearing the traditional red jersey and attacking from left to right!"

"."

"Although Conca and Muriqui are still unable to play due to injuries, Lippi still fielded Guangzhou Evergrande's usual 4-2-3-1 formation!"

"On the other side, the Central Coast Mariners' starting goalkeeper, wearing their traditional yellow jerseys and attacking from right to left, is Matthew Ryan!"

"Defenders: Joshua Rose, Peki Bojic, Zachary Anderson, Patrick Cvarnswick!"

Midfielders: John Hutchinson, Adriano Pellegrino, McMcGlinch, Nick Montgomery!

"Two strikers: Daniel McBreen and Mitchell Duke!"

"Young coach Graham Arnold, facing Lippi's Guangzhou Evergrande, also fielded a 4-4-2 formation, showing no signs of backing down!"

On the Coast Mariners Stadium.

When the referee blew the whistle, amidst the frenzied shouts of more than 2 home fans, the home team immediately launched a full-scale attack without hesitation.

Gao Lin immediately lunged at McMcGlinch, the midfielder who was dribbling the ball forward.

As a New Zealand international product of Celtic's youth academy, Gao Lin was easily outmaneuvered by McMurray with just a simple stop and change of direction.

Immediately after getting past Gao Lin, McMcGlinch didn't hesitate to raise his right foot and send the ball to his right flank.

As a traditional A-League team.

Long balls and crosses are the core and most effective tactic of the Central Coast Mariners.

On the left flank of the Evergrande team, they faced a tall Australian winger.

Yu Hanchao's small frame meant he was easily pushed behind Nick Montgomery without any surprise.

I'll stay here and turn around while I'm at it!
The Coast Mariners' first attack officially started from the left flank of Evergrande.

However, compared to Sun Xiang, who is already quite old, Rong Hao, who has finally secured a starting position, has long been established.

Just as Nick Montgomery pushed the ball forward...

Ronghao suddenly launched a sliding tackle from the spot!

This tackle not only halted the Coast Guard's attack, but also ruthlessly hooked the ball back.

"Wow! That's a good shot!"

"Rong Hao's shovel was indeed effective!"

"no problem!"

"After getting up, quickly pass the ball to Zheng Zhi beside you!"

"Zheng Zhi doesn't hold onto the ball! He quickly passes it to Su Hao's feet!"

Coast Mariners Stadium!

The moment Su Hao received the ball.

The more than two thousand Evergrande fans in the stands immediately began to shout wildly.

Although it was just a simple catch, the fans who had been won over by Su Hao were certain that their prince would lead them to a goal as quickly as possible.

Of course, this was happening while Evergrande fans were cheering wildly.

The scouts from various teams who had traveled from England, Germany, Spain, and even the Netherlands immediately focused their cameras on Su Hao.

They were eager to know what magic this Chinese player, whom Football Talent Scout called the strongest young player of all time, possessed.

On the field!
While all the fans, including the scouts, were focused on Su Hao.

The Coast Mariners players, who had practiced countless times in training how to contain Su Hao, Evergrande's only core player, did not hesitate to pounce on him.

Mitchell-Duke + Adriano Pellegrino!
A deep-lying striker and a defensive midfielder.

This is the strategy that Mariners manager Graham Arnold has been developing during this period.

Mitchell-Duk possesses speed, while Adriano Pellegrino possesses fierce pressing and physicality.

With these two players dominating the ball throughout the game, Graham Arnold was quite certain that the 16-year-old in front of him wouldn't be able to cause any major trouble.

only!
Soon, a masterpiece that would shake Graham Arnold, the entire stadium, and the whole of European football was about to unfold.

Su Hao, over here!

A pincer attack?

Seeing the two men rushing towards him menacingly, Su Hao naturally didn't intend to confront them head-on.

It's just that the toes are slightly angled.

Su Hao then immediately passed the ball back to Zheng Zhi's feet.

Before the match, Lippi had already said that Su Hao would definitely be the key target of Coast Mariners' marking in this game, so in the early stages of the game, Evergrande's attack was organized by Zheng Zhi.

Su Hao's role was to disrupt the sailors' defensive formation.

This is not!

After Su Hao pointed at him, Zheng Zhi immediately spotted Yu Hanchao suddenly accelerating on the left flank.

A long ball over the top.

Yu Hanchao easily and directly penetrated the coastal sailors' flank territory.

After Su Hao drew all of the Coast Mariners' defensive firepower, Evergrande's attack suddenly became unimpeded.

With his speed increased, Yu Hanchao quickly made a surprise attack on the coast sailors' baseline.

Seeing that the Coast Mariners' full-back was about to arrive to cover, Yu Hanchao had no choice but to hastily lob the ball into the penalty area.

Elkeson has already squeezed into that position.

However, Yu Hanchao's pass was not Su Hao's pass.

And this happened in such a rushed manner.

It wasn't too difficult; the Coast Mariners' goalkeeper simply jumped and punched away Yu Hanchao's cross.

In the stands!
The Evergrande fans stopped chanting in disappointment.

Meanwhile, the scouts who had just turned on their cameras, intending to enjoy watching how Su Hao, hailed as an S-class genius, would excel, sat down listlessly.

however!
No one expected this.

Australian goalkeeper Matthew Ryan's header landed directly in front of Su Hao, who was unmarked.

Su Hao was taken aback when he suddenly saw the football flying towards him.

That fucking
There were no other thoughts.

Now that the ball was already here, Su Hao stopped calculating whether the distance was too far or not.

He simply moved the ball forward slightly with his right foot!
then
Facing the football in front of me!
Su Hao raised his right leg high.

With the muscles taut, his right leg revealed a series of menacing veins that resembled coiled dragons!
Under the enhancement of this violent power!
Su Hao swiftly swung his right leg down and struck the bottom left edge of the soccer ball hard!

"boom!!!!"

This was absolutely the most explosive explosion ever heard at the Coast Field.

With that loud bang, the football under Su Hao's feet underwent a terrifying transformation and shot up from the ground, turning into a white light and hurtling towards the goal guarded by Matthew Ryan!

"Su Hao!"

"This means they're planning to shoot directly."

"Su Hao!"

"Shot!!!!"

Huang Jianxiang, who was in the commentary booth, seemed to realize something at that moment.

Even though he hadn't scored yet, his voice was already trembling.

And on the field!

The white light that burst forth from beneath Su Hao's feet drew an extremely strange arc in the air.

He managed to slip into the top right corner of the goal before Australian goalkeeper Matthew Ryan could react!

"Beep!!!"

The referee blew his whistle!

And at the same time!

The scouts from the top clubs in the stands were stunned, and then immediately dialed their own phones!
no need!

We really don't need any other bullshit data!

Just that one kick!
It was all worth it!!!
