100, nepotism, political commissar Chen
"Kazakhstan... I heard that the wine in this place is made of horse urine?"
"It seems that women here are not allowed to take transportation?"
"I heard that girls in this country can get married if they are less than 8 years old!"
"I've seen a movie where all gays here are going to be wearing blue hats!"
"Why are you so clear about this kind of thing?
On a charter flight to Kazakhstan, Atletico Madrid players are enthusiastically discussing the upcoming mysterious country.
In fact, many Asian countries are very unfamiliar to Europeans.
Most of their only little understanding of distant countries comes from media reports and publicity. The media industry has never been truly fair and objective.
It is no surprise that Asian countries will be mysterious and demonized under irresponsible reports of public opinion.
"Brother Hao, you really let me start? This is a Champions League game!"
Sitting next to Chen Hao was Xu Xin, a young man from Liaoning who was 4 years older than him.
Although Xu Xin, who has been playing football for Team B, has been in the first team for training many times since last season and is not unfamiliar with other teammates, he has never been put on the official roster by Simeone, let alone the starting lineup of the Champions League!
Chen Hao shrugged:
"Astana is nothing more than the level of the Chinese Super League team. You have been training in Spain for five years. Do you have to be weak even in such a game?"
21-year-old Xu Xin swallowed:
"I won't say anything else. As long as I'm allowed to play, I will definitely not embarrass you, Brother Hao!"
-
Simeone, who was sitting in the front, turned around, looked at them expressionlessly, and then sat down again.
Of course he couldn't understand the conversation between a Chuanzi and a Northeastern man, but he could also guess the content of the conversation.
He finally accepted Chen Hao's suggestion and brought a group of substitutes and youth team players to Astana, Griezmann, Godin, Felipe, Fran and other absolute main players stayed in Madrid. Even the main goalkeeper Oblak, who consumed very little physical fitness, missed the trip.
Deep in his heart, there was more or less a sense of giving up for this fourth-round Champions League match. It was certainly worthy of happiness if Chen Hao could lead these temporary miscellaneous players to win, but even if he lost the ball or scored a draw, it would not be a big deal for Atletico Madrid, who had already scored 9 points in three games.
No, if Atletico Madrid accidentally loses in this game, it might be better for Simeone's authority in the locker room to be a little more at ease?
-
November 3.
Due to the time difference, when the game started, the country had just entered 23 o'clock, which was still considered prime time for fans.
"In the starting list released by Atletico Madrid Club, two Chinese players appeared at the same time, which is undoubtedly the first time in Champions League history."
The commentator He Wei was also a little uncomfortable with this working time. He sorted out his thoughts and said slowly:
"But there are also many people who have expressed doubts. Although Xu Xin has been training in Spain for a long time and has a lot of related reports, he has never entered the first team lineup of Atletico Madrid. Can he have a tacit understanding with other teammates?"
The guest on this day was experienced coach Zhang Lu and Zhang. Hearing He Wei’s questions, he couldn’t help but let out a signature laugh:
"Hehe, I don't think you have to worry like this. You know, standing in front of Xu Xin... is Chen Hao, who is four years younger than him!"
This sentence sounds unreasonable. Why should a 21-year-old young man count on a 17-year-old boy?
But neither He Wei nor the audience in front of the TV could help nodding.
Director Zhang’s words... There is nothing wrong with them!
-
Although Astana is the bottom of the fish, he only scored one draw and two losses in the first three rounds, and ranked last with one point, and obviously has no hope of qualifying, but this does not mean that no one cares about their home games.
The fact is completely opposite. The Astana Arena, which can accommodate 30,000 spectators, is not only crowded and full, but also requires armed police to maintain order inside and outside the stadium in order to isolate enthusiastic and crazy fans and escort buses from both sides to arrive at the stadium safely.
“They are the best teams,
The ultimate team,
This is the top event!”
When the passionate and leaping Champions League theme song echoed over the court, Xu Xin found that his body, which had finally calmed down, trembled again.
Looking at the brightly lit stadium and looking back at the crowded stands around him, he suddenly felt like he was in a dream.
Chen Hao... didn't lie to him!
He actually stood on the field of the official Champions League match!
For Chinese players, there are even fewer players who have played in the Champions League than those who have played in the World Cup!
——There are only four people, Sun Xiang, Dong Fangzhuo, Hao Junmin, and Chen Hao, and Chen Hao, among which Chen Hao played the starter!
Now he has become the second Chinese player to start!
After the theme song was performed, Captain Torres of the Castello de Madrid went to pick the side on behalf of the team, while Chen Hao patted Xu Xin's shoulder and encouraged him again:
"Follow me, I'll take you flying!"
-
Xu Xin, who is 185, is a defensive midfielder. The task given to him by Simeone is quite simple:
Run wildly, grab hard, pass quickly!
As a young player, you have to gain a place in the team by running without hesitation and daring to fight and rushing style.
Xu Xin, who has been training in Atletico Madrid for five years, certainly knows this truth, so although he is still a little excited, excited and nervous, he devotes himself to it from the first second of the game!
"drop!"
Chen Hao kicked the ball back with one kick, and Xu Xin couldn't help but tremble.
He stretched out his feet and stopped the ball, raised his eyes and observed his teammates, and then he carefully passed it out.
This is a touch that he remembers for his life!
He...the first ball was passed on the stage of the Champions League!
Atletico Madrid's mob... launched an offensive!
-
Astana's players attach great importance to this game, but for Chen Hao, this game is not even a performance match.
The breathless players on the opposite side were unable to even let him remember his name, Astana player ABCDEFG...
"Oh! Atletico players made undue mistakes in the offense!"
He Wei sighed:
"After all, it is a hastily pieced together third-tier team, and the players do not have a deep understanding of each other..."
Before he could finish his sigh, he was interrupted by Zhang Lu's laughter:
"hey-hey!"
Accompanied by this laughter, Xu Xin in the picture poked away the ball with a tough flying shovel!
Atletico Madrid successfully counterattacked on the spot in the midfield and frontcourt!
-
pretty!
Xu Xin, who was wading on the grass, couldn't help clenching his fists and cheered for himself in his heart.
Brother Hao is right. The level of Kazakhstan teams, that is, the Chinese Super League team, may not be able to beat Evergrande Guoanlun, so there is no need to be afraid of them at all!
He reached out and supported the grass. As soon as he got up, he saw the ball he had poked off rolling to the familiar figure.
Chen Hao shook his figure, shook a small angle between defensive players A and C, and then volleyed without stopping!
The black and white ball seemed to aim at a dead corner and jumped into the net from the two defenders of Astana!
1-0!
Xu Xin suddenly swallowed.
TMD!
Chapter completed!
