【Chapter 1150】 Making History (Subscription Requested!)
In the impression of fans, Li Yan is an encyclopedia of free kicks, because among the 32 direct free kicks he scored in his two-year career, he includes the well-known free kick methods, whether it is from the small shell-style full moon scimitar, Carlos-style ultra-long-range powerful free kicks, Albertini's leaf-falling ball, Ronaldo's elevator ball and so on.
Even if you are a professional, you don't know what kind of way Li Yan will take this free kick, after all, today's range, shooting angle, etc. are quite ideal, and Li Yan has more choices.
At this moment, the eyes of more than 1 billion fans around the world are focused on Li Yan's face, and fans from Huaxia and Spain are even more uplifting their hearts to their throats.
With the referee's whistle, Li Yan ran quickly, and he was called the 'golden right foot' by the outside world, and he slammed it at the bottom of the football, and the black and white elf flew straight to the goal like a bolt of lightning.
The pressure on Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea is no less than that of Li Yan, in this case, the so-called defensive system and the human wall have no effect, but a duel between the penalty players and the goalkeeper.
Since replacing San Cassie as Spain's new goalkeeper at Euro 2016, David De Gea has been unanimously praised over the past few years as one of the most consistent players in the Spanish Bullclub.
When the onus of whether the team can qualify falls on the shoulders of the Red Devils, he suddenly feels a little struggling.
De Gea has faced Li Yan many times in the Premier League and in the domestic arena in England, and his goal has been pierced by Li Yan 12 times, including a hat-trick from a free-kick.
If it is said that De Gea is the player he fears the most, Li Yan must be on the list!
This time, it was no exception, even if De Gea judged the right direction, jumped as much as he could, and stretched his palms as much as possible, he still felt the ball whizzing past his fingertips, and finally De Gea heard the sound of 'brushing' behind him, and the very different reactions of the fans on the sidelines.
At this time, De Gea was unable to get up from the lawn, and his deep self-blame made his tears gush out involuntarily.
Ramos, a veteran of the Six Dynasties who formed a human wall at the edge of the penalty area, regretted that it was because of his foul that the Chinese men's football team gave a direct free kick from the edge of the penalty area, which eventually led to the goal conceded.
However, Ramos is also a determined athlete, and he has experienced countless storms and waves in his career, and hurriedly shouted loudly to remind the players to cheer up, and there are still few minutes left in the game!
Spain's late goal was a disappointment for Felipe VI and the queen, but Ramos was pleased with his encouragement to his team-mates.
For Real Madrid's players, members of the Spanish royal family have always been fond of them, after all, they almost support half of the Spanish national team.
The more than 16,000 Spanish fans in attendance seemed to be able to hear their heartbreaks, and the 90 minutes of regular time were coming to an end, at which point they conceded a goal and almost lost the game.
Contrary to the silent and heartbroken situation of the Spaniards, the Chinese fans are caught in a sea of joy!
Before the game, even a few fans who had absolute confidence in the national football team would not have thought that the national football team would actually take the lead in the final stage and victory was within reach.
More than 20,000 Chinese fans sang "Singing the Motherland" almost at the same time, and the loud singing gave endless strength to the fans on the field, filling their tired and almost cramping bodies with energy!
In box No. 2, Xiao Feng and Consul Li Jun stood up, congratulated the players, and sang "Singing the Motherland" with the fans!
After a goal, the Olympic Stadium in Sochi presented a scene of ice and fire, and this is the cruelty of competitive sports!
…………
With the introduction of regular time for the game, the fourth official on the sidelines lifted five minutes of stoppage time, which also gave both sides more topics to talk about.
Five minutes is too little time for the Spanish team, who have been powerless in the last 90 minutes against the Chinese men's team's defensive system, and now it will be difficult to find the back of the net with them dropping out across the board.
In general, in order to break down a dense defense in a short period of time, in addition to luck, you need superstars of great quality, and Spain does not have either of these points.
Don't look at the disparity in strength between the two teams, but the only superstar on the field is Li Yan of the Chinese men's football team, and it is his excellent free kick skills that can break the goal and break the deadlock at a critical moment.
As time went on, the Spanish fans on the sidelines cheered for the team with tears in their eyes, because they had a premonition that the team had lost three consecutive tournaments and the so-called 'Matador dynasty' officially collapsed!
On the one hand, the enthusiasm of Chinese fans was raised to an extreme, and in the singing of "Singing the Motherland", everyone stood up excitedly. In the history of Chinese football, there has never been such a glorious moment, and the excitement of the fans can be imagined.
The scene on the sidelines was a true reflection of the situation on the pitch, and although the Spanish team pressed and even David De Gea had rushed up to participate in the corner kick, they were still unable to find the back of the net.
In the end, when the clock came to the last 20 seconds, more than 20,000 Chinese fans shouted the countdown in unison, and the deafening sound of Chinese characters was heard by the whole of Sochi and the world.
With the referee's two short and one long whistles, the entire Sochi Olympic Stadium turned into a sea of ice and fire, and the ecstasy of the Chinese fans contrasted sharply with the eclipsation of the Spanish fans.
This is the charm of competitive sports, this is the great appeal of the world's number one sport, which can make people who love it laugh and cry.
The Spanish fans were not Russian fans who were fighting at all levels, and they were sensibly wiping away their tears and applauding the players who had done their best.
In the past three World Cups and three European Championships, Spanish fans have experienced ups and downs, with happiness and pain haunting them.
The Spanish team achieved the miracle of winning three consecutive major tournaments, and the Spanish bullfighting team at that time was invincible, and the Spanish team that took off the hat of "king of qualifiers" created a glorious dynasty.
However, the defeat in the group stage of the 14 World Cup made the fans of the defending champion extremely stunned, the fall in the quarterfinals of the 16 European Championship made people realize that the Spanish fleet was about to sink, and the Spanish team was defeated by the rookie Chinese men's football team in the World Cup, officially announcing the end of an era!
'The end of an era' was the phrase used most by the vast majority of TV media commentators after the game, and even before that there was even hope that the Spanish would make a comeback. It's just that with the team's loss to the Chinese men's football team, it has been announced that the Spanish style of play is completely unsuitable for the development of modern football, and the reconstruction of Spain is imminent.
…………
Compared to Spain's loneliness, Chinese fans have enough reasons to enjoy the happiness in front of them, because they never imagined that the Chinese men's football team could break into the quarterfinals of the World Cup.
The huge happiness fell from the sky, which almost made all the Chinese fans and even the players and coaches on the field almost stunned.
After half a ring, everyone let out the loudest decibel cheers, and the players and coaches on the field began to run and celebrate wildly on the field, and the whole stadium became a sea of joy for the Chinese people!
Liu Hong, Duan Huo, who is in charge of the commentary, informed the national TV audience of the good news with very excited words, as a commentator who has been commenting on football for half his life, he has been commenting on the outstanding performance of other national teams in the World Cup, and now when this kind of good thing falls on the Chinese men's football team, everyone feels that it is so incredible, like a dream!
In the quarterfinals of the World Cup, even the people who had the most confidence in the Chinese men's football team before the start of the game would not have thought of such a result, and most people thought that winning a point or getting a victory was already the limitation of the Chinese men's football team. Now, the Chinese men's football team defeated the once invincible Spanish team and won the knockout round, which has also become the greatest victory in the history of Chinese football.
In such a context, Li Yan's role has been infinitely magnified, and all media and fans know in their hearts that it is precisely because of Li Yan's outstanding performance that the Chinese men's football team, a second-rate team in Asia, can go further.
As the captain and core of the team, Li Yan participated in the four goals of the Chinese men's football team in four games, and his performance of three shots and one pass made him far ahead of the selection of the World Cup Golden Ball Award.
If it is said that before the start of the World Cup, Li Yan only created a resounding enough prestige in the category of European club competitions, and now after leading the Chinese men's football team to the quarterfinals of the World Cup with his outstanding performance, Li Yan has truly become a world-class superstar.
In the history of international football, the World Cup has become an important criterion for measuring the status of a player, and only by achieving good results in the World Cup can the player's status as a "superstar" or "legend" be consolidated.
Rao is Messi who has won everything that a club player can win at Barcelona, but his lack of a title in the World Cup still prevents him from being crowned the 'King of the Ball'.
Throughout Pele, Maradona, Beckenbauer and other legendary superstars, they all established their historical status because of winning championships in the world, and they are loved by fans.
Although it is not too good to break into the quarterfinals of the World Cup, it is already a huge breakthrough compared to the weak strength of the Chinese men's football team. In this process, Li Yan's role was vividly expressed, he successfully integrated a third-rate team, possessed an international second-rate level, and defeated the Spanish team with Li Yan's individual ability.
Li Yan's role as a 'superstar' is undoubtedly revealed, and in the comments of the global media, Li Yan is steadily moving towards the road of a world-class superstar!
You must know that Li Yan is only 22 years old this year, and according to his physical fitness and playing style, he has at least 12 more chances to participate in three World Cups. If the strength of other players of the Chinese men's football team can be improved, experts are optimistic that the Chinese men's football team can achieve a greater breakthrough in the World Cup under the leadership of Li Yan.
Perhaps, at that time, Li Yan's status as an international superstar will be more stable!
…………
After the game, Xiao Feng did not go to the locker room to see the players, in his opinion, now is the time for the players to enjoy the joy of victory, and he should not be annoyed.
The victory in this game is certainly worth celebrating, but Xiao Feng also saw many problems, and the overall strength of the Chinese men's football team needs to be strengthened. Not to mention anything else, as long as the midfielders are a little more capable, Li Yan can take more energy out of defense and devote himself to attacking, maybe he doesn't have to wait until the last moment to score.
After the World Cup, Xiao Feng plans to take advantage of the domestic football fever to increase the scope and scale of the enrollment of the 'Ginkgo Sports School Football Department' to attract more potential young players to get better learning opportunities. At the same time, Newcastle United will receive more Chinese young players for training and games in Newcastle, so that they can feel the impact of the world's advanced football concepts and grow up better.
With Xiao Feng's understanding of competitive sports and his understanding of the 'Spiritual Spring', the profits from cultivating top football players far exceed those of most industries in the world.
Taking Li Yan as an example, Newcastle United would not have spent more than £300,000 on him, but now he has brought more than £50 million in profits to Newcastle United.
It is precisely because of Li Yan's huge influence in Asia that Newcastle United's advertising, broadcast revenue and commercial game revenue in Asia have increased by at least one-third, and Li Yan's role can be imagined.
Although Li Yan is not for sale at Newcastle United, and other clubs will not issue transfer invitations to Li Yan, who owns 5% of the club's shares, major sports media have made detailed assessments of Li Yan's worth.
Before the World Cup, Li Yan won himself a transfer fee estimate of more than £40 million for his brilliant performances in the Premier League and Champions League, which is a bit low, after all, he is a player from the football desert.
After leading the team to the quarterfinals of the World Cup, major media generally believe that Li Yan's worth will increase to at least 50 million pounds, and even this value will rise with the advance of the Chinese men's football team!
All the data shows that the development of football players is fraught with risks, but the return is extremely high.
Xiao Feng, who owns the 'Space Spiritual Spring', is full of confidence in the future of the 'Ginkgo Sports School', and perhaps it will become the world's most successful international professional superstar cultivation base.
Therefore, just after the end of the game, Xiao Feng notified Lin Lang, the sports industry director of the 'Jinghu Group', by phone, and expressed his opinion to him, and the steps of the 'Ginkgo Sports School' can be taken a little bigger!
Xiao Feng has already set his mind to build Ginkgo Sports School into a cradle of the best sports superstars in the world, and perhaps this will be a new challenge!
In this way, a cultivation base with great international reputation has quietly determined the direction of development, waiting for the right time to soar to the sky!
The current Chinese people don't need to think about such a long-term thing, and it is the right thing to celebrate the Chinese men's football team to break into the quarterfinals of the World Cup! )
