Soccer: If they're using these kinds of cheats, what's the point of training?

This time, instead of 'Siu,' Zhang Kuang performed a passionate knee slide, leaving three marks on the grass. Zhang Kuang didn't expect that the knee slide would be so enjoyable.

After he finished skating, he stood up and pointed to the team logo on his jersey to signal to the audience, who cheered excitedly.

His teammates rushed up and mounted him, resulting in a double top position, and his buttocks were grabbed countless times.

Fernandez clapped his hands with a smile, then nodded with satisfaction. "Good signing! Good signing indeed! Luckily we signed him."

Unfortunately, they can only stay for half a season at most... But how can a team like Auxerre possibly retain a true superstar? Staying for half a season would be good enough.

"Dugarry, what level of potential does an 18-year-old player with consecutive hat-tricks represent?" asked Barthes, the host of France 1.

"Superstar-level players like Ronaldo, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Messi, no matter how good a player's shooting skills are, if you want to consistently break through different opponents' defenses, you need to have your own unique ability to break through defenses."

Ronaldo relied on dribbling; he could beat opponents, even the goalkeeper. Ronaldinho relied on agility; his agility left opponents bewildered.

Kaka's strength lies in his speed, his long strides making him impossible for opponents to catch. Cristiano Ronaldo is similar to Ronaldo, relying on his dribbling and shooting skills. Messi and Ronaldinho are alike, characterized by their agility and incredibly fast footwork, making them unpredictable for opponents.

Zhang Kuang lacks top-notch dribbling skills, first-class passing and receiving skills, and even the ability of a super winger to cross from the byline.

He relies on strength; he's incredibly strong physically, and almost no defender can stop him. His shots are fast and powerful, and he jumps high and has excellent headers…

Bart interjected, "Isn't that Drogba?"

"Yes, he has similar characteristics to Drogba, but he is lighter, faster, and more powerful. Moreover, Drogba doesn't have Drogba's flamboyant heading ability. Although Drogba's heading is not bad, it seems far inferior to his flamboyant heading ability at present."

"You mean he's an upgraded version of Drogba?"

"That's roughly the idea."

"Hiss... This type of player is rare in top clubs these days. How many Drogbas are there on the market? It's hard to find many players with that kind of powerful center forward ability..."

"..."

77 minutes.

Zhang Kuang delivered the most spectacular individual performance of the match.

Pedretti played a through ball forward, which slipped between two Saint-Étienne defenders and landed on the right side of the penalty area. Zhang Kuang sprinted at full speed and managed to control the ball under close marking from the defender.

Then, he used his body to shield the defender, cut to the left to create space, and swept the ball with his right foot—

The ball nestled into the net from near the corner.

4: 0.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!" Bart's shrill voice rang out again!

"Goal! Goal! Another goal! A quadruple! Zhang Kuang has made history! The first Chinese player to score four goals in a single match in one of the top five European leagues, and the first Asian player to do so..." Liu Jianhong was completely exuberant in the studio. "He's playing like he's in Pro Evolution Soccer! No, even Pro Evolution Soccer isn't this exaggerated! If you choose the highest difficulty and play as Messi or Ronaldo, scoring four goals in a game would be amazing—but Zhang Kuang is playing like this in real life!"

"And the other team is Saint-Étienne," Xu Yang added from the side, his voice carrying a solemnity as if witnessing history. "Not Sedan, not a weak team, but Saint-Étienne, who have won the Ligue 1 title ten times. A home stadium of 35,000 people, filled with green smoke and boos—in this away atmosphere, an 18-year-old Chinese player scored four goals."

"This is something all Chinese fans should remember; it's a night that makes all Chinese players happy," Liu Jianhong said.

"Yes, we've always dreamed of such a record, but we never imagined it would be achieved so quickly in reality. Sometimes, we hope that Chinese players can achieve good results not because we want to win any trophies, but simply to tell everyone, 'What others can do, we Chinese can do too.' We want all Chinese fans to feel this 'we can do it too' spirit..." Xu Yang continued rambling on.

Meanwhile, Dugarry was speechless.

"I think we can substitute Zhang from China. He scored four goals against the opponent in a single game. If he stays on the field, it will cause some of the opposing players to lose their composure and do some irrational things."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"Think about it, when a team loses, there's always a post-game analysis, right? And in that analysis, there's always someone to take the blame, right? If the same player scores four goals in a row, who do you think will be the scapegoat?"

This scapegoat role is not just about taking the blame; it also means that fans, media, and colleagues all remember how incompetent you were in the face of arrogance.

"Won't this affect your market value? Won't this end your career? So, how much do you think the players involved must hate Zhang Kuang? If Zhang Kuang were still on the field right now, what would they do?"

"Hiss, you mean...?"

Just as Barthes was about to speak, a scream rang out from the scene. Zhang Kuang was tackled to the ground, along with Saint-Étienne's defensive linchpin, Ioan Benalouan.

"Wow, it really happened! Let's see what's going on on the field. Saint-Étienne's midfielder just took the ball, and then Zhang Kuang ran wildly towards Saint-Étienne's penalty area... Look, he's preparing to receive the ball, and Ioan's sliding tackle, with his studs showing and his foot not retracting, hits Zhang Kuang's ankle hard. Zhang Kuang loses his balance and steps on Ioan's ankle... This..."

"A violent clash broke out between the players from both sides. Joan's kick was aimed at destroying Zhang Kuang. The Auxerre players were furious."

The Saint-Étienne players were not to be outdone; they might not be able to beat them in football, but they could certainly win in a fight…” Bart was there, rambling on and on.

Dugarry was furious: "Ioan's behavior must be severely punished. Players like Zhang Kuang are a treasure to Ligue 1. He ruined Zhang Kuang, which is not only a loss for Chinese football, but also a loss for Ligue 1. You should know that because of Zhang Kuang, Ligue 1 is making a lot of money selling its broadcasting rights to China..."

Soon, at the team doctor's signal, both players were carried off the field, with Yoann being taken directly into an ambulance.

"???" Fans at the stadium and watching on TV were all confused. Why was Ioan being carried into an ambulance, while Zhang Kuang was still receiving treatment on the sidelines?

Was Joan more seriously injured than Zhang Kuang?

Let's look at the replay: Joan rushed over from Zhang Kuang's right side, then launched a fierce sliding tackle, revealing his studs, and slammed them into Zhang Kuang's supporting left foot. Zhang Kuang lost his balance and stepped down with his right foot...

Hmm? I stepped on Yoan's right ankle. Huh? It's deformed? Yoan's right ankle feels like it's bent at a 45-degree angle, like it's broken?

No way?

This……
