330 Champions League debut
Hard work is a prerequisite for growth, but in order to grow, it also requires the accumulation of time and the experience of the competition, so for Chen Long, no matter how terrifying his talent is, his growth needs a process, not something that can be solved by blindly training.

Corey understands this, and Long Chen certainly understands this.
A week later, Milan travelled to underdogs Empoli, and in this game, Romelu Lukaku was not included in the squad due to muscle discomfort before the game, while Chen Long continued to start, and it looked like Mourinho had gradually used him as a main player.
In the match against Empoli, Chen Long's performance was also eye-catching, although he did not score, but he also played a very dangerous shot on goal many times.
It is worth noting that in this game, Chen Long used the techniques he learned from Corey many times, such as cycling, which made the fans sigh, and it seems that Chen Long is getting stronger day by day!
In the end, with the joint construction of Rodriguez, Martial and Gross, Milan defeated Empoli 3:1, won four consecutive league wins, and continued to rank at the top of the standings.
Five days later, Milan will host their second opponent in the Champions League group stage ~ Lyon, France.
Lyon is the only team in this group that is second only to Milan, and in the last round of the group stage, they beat Sweden's Banba Malmo 4-0 at home, and the momentum is high, so this matchup is also seen as a strong conversation in Group D of the Champions League group stage.
For Milan, the match was particularly noteworthy for the Lyon team's top scorer, the 19-year-old French striker Talfel.
Speaking of Tafel, he is also a little famous in football, because he ranks second only to Chen Long and Dirk in second place on the list of new stars, and he also has the title of "Henry's successor".
Therefore, to a certain extent, this duel is also the duel between the first and third in the new star list, of course, provided that Chen Long can play in this game, everyone is looking forward to whether Mourinho will do it!
By 6 o'clock in the evening, the San Siro Stadium was almost full.
Milan fans, dressed in Milan's home jerseys, filled the stands.
They have shown great enthusiasm for the Champions League because they haven't felt it was a long, long time since they felt that the Champions League was so possible for Milan this season.
In the picking, Milan got the right to pick the edge, so the kick-off was Lyon's.
Lyon didn't take advantage of the kick-off and quickly played the ball into the Milan penalty area. It's about passing all the way back and then slowly attacking upwards.
For both teams, this game is actually an encounter.
Although everyone has collected and learned about each other's intelligence materials in advance.
But what's on paper and on the TV screen isn't as real as what you experience in person.
How strong the opponent is will still have to wait until the game is played to find out.
Lyon coach Genesio is even more cautious because of Milan's hot form in the new season, not to take it lightly
The opening game is still cautious.
Mainly in the prevention of Chen Long.
Long Chen's speed is too fast, give him a little gap, maybe he can get through.
It seems that Mourinho is also a manager who is willing to "adult beauty", and Chen Long's Champions League debut began in this game, in which Chen Long started.
In this match, Milan played 442.
The partners who played up front were Chen Long and Romelu Lukaku.
These two people are quite tacit now.
In the first half of the game, it was not until the 12th minute that the first shot on goal between the two teams came, and it was Milan who took the lead, and in the first shot, Chen Long opened Lyon's goal with a shocking world wave.
1:0
In just ten minutes, Chen Long completed the first goal of the Champions League with a world wave.
In the entire first half of the game, in addition to scoring a goal, Chen Long also had many outstanding performances, and the figure of pedaling a bicycle can be seen everywhere.
In comparison, Tafel's performance can only be said to be too inferior, staring at the title of "Henry's successor", but he did not perform well, made two and more waves, and missed many opportunities.
There is a reason for this, before the start of this game, Tafel had vaguely expressed his displeasure with Chen Long's ranking above him, claiming that this game should give Chen Long a good look.
In the first half, he tried several times to get past the Milan players in front of him, but almost all of them failed.
In addition, it may be known that Tafel is best at volleying with the outside instep, but it seems that Tafel is only willing to volley with the outside instep in this game.
Every time she gets a pass from a teammate, she cuts inside with the ball and then volleys, but he doesn't seem to be successful.
At halftime, Mourinho affirmed Chen Long and the team's performance in the first half, saying that he continued to play like this in the second half, but Lukaku should be more active, after all, in the second half, for Chen Long, Lyon will definitely be more vigilant!
On Lyon's side, manager Genesio criticised Tafel's performance and told him to focus on the big picture.
………………
After the start of the second half, Lyon finally returned to normal - except for Tafel, who seemed to have a break in the Super League and manager Genesio's criticism of him did not play any role.
Tafel is still trying to get past all the Milan players in front of him.
He can do get past one or two, but it doesn't happen every time.
Sometimes, he couldn't even get over one.
The most serious thing is the shooting.
He is now particularly paranoid about cutting inside from the right and then shooting with the outside of his right foot.
Normally he would have passed the ball, but now when he shoots, he doesn't think about anything, he just wants to shoot, and he shoots this way.
He seems to have to prove in front of everyone that he is a true master of the curling shot with the outside of the right foot, and he is the number one on the list of rising stars.
But so far, he really hasn't scored a goal.
The shot with the outside of the right foot is actually able to score because there is a certain suddenness of the surname.
Normally, when he cuts inside with the ball, the goalkeeper will focus on the near corner. At this time, he suddenly got up and shot at the goal, and the ball went to the far corner, and the goalkeeper was often caught off guard, and it was too far away from the far corner, which also caused them to be unable to prevent it.
But now that Tafel wants to use this way to fight the winner, it will be too easy to defend.
While Tafel was competing with the Milan players, Chen Long was on the other side of the pitch, opening up his own pathway.
He combines his speed and technique well, and Lyon's defenders, including the France international who played in Euro 2020, were also very embarrassed when it came to Chen Long's breakthrough.
As one of the traditional powerhouses of Ligue 1, Lyon is a major international player in the French national team, and last season, Lyon won the Ligue 1 title.
"The emergency stop changes to a beautiful ...... It's over."
"A bicycle with the surname of Chen Long, the speed is really fast, and Lyon defender Lovren is like a deep quagmire in front of Chen Long's speed and agility......
Unlike Tafel, Chen's moves are less fancy, but more practical. While Tafel was still sideways trying to get rid of Carvajal, Chen Long had already broken through three Lyon players"
Seventeen minutes into the second half, Chen Long broke through the inside cut again on the right flank.
This time, everyone was worried that he would opt for the outside of his right foot to shoot, and Lyon goalkeeper Lopes also made a slight move to the back corner.
Everyone was defending against Chen Long's shot in the back corner.
At this time, Chen Long's speed advantage was reflected.
As he was running, he suddenly flicked the ball outward with the outside of his right foot. The ball rolled into the box from the ribs between Lyon centre-back Pjanic and left-back Green.
At the same time, Chen Long stopped and changed direction, cut inward sharply, and squeezed in with the football through this gap.
"He's in the box"
The French narrator exclaimed, his voice tinged with horror.
Through this half-time game, he has fully realized what kind of strength Chen Long is.
Although I don't want to admit it, but the performance on the field will not deceive people, and even fools can see that Chen Long's performance is better than Tafel's, and Chen Long's way of playing football takes into account both pleasing the audience and practical surname.
Now seeing Chen Long burst into the forbidden area, he couldn't help but get nervous again.
Is this kid still going to score?
He guessed right.
Chen Long, who had just changed direction and entered the penalty area, did not continue to dribble the ball and give Lopes the opportunity to compress his shooting angle, but quickly picked up his right foot and shot!
The ball rolled against the turf to the near corner.
López, who had moved to the back corner early, suffered a loss at this time, and it was too late to pounce, and the ball rolled into the goal before his hand could arrive.
"A brace - it was a beautiful goal"
Zhan Jun raised his arms and shouted.
Chinese journalists in the media table also jumped up, raising their arms and chanting.
This is the moment of the Chinese player's surname in the history of the Champions League, the first Champions League game, the first goal, the first brace.
Chen Long's debut in the Champions League was even more perfect than they could have imagined.
Two brilliant goals, before the game was over, Chen Long had already helped Milan defeat Lyon - no one believed that Lyon could turn the tables on the road.
Some excited Chinese reporters slapped their hands red and still clapped, and their voices were hoarse and still roaring.
They just want to vent their inner emotions.
After covering European football for so many years, watching those European stars galloping on the field and becoming stars sought after by tens of thousands of people, they also fantasized at the beginning, hoping that Chinese overseas players can also create a sky belonging to Chinese football in Europe.
But many years have passed, and the foreign players of Chinese football have changed one after another, but no player has ever been able to really leave his name in Europe. The best result is Zhang Yuning, although he has scored in the Champions League, but, compared with Chen Long, it is...
Although there has been no shortage of Chinese players in the Champions League in recent years, there has never been a person like Chen Long!
Now, they don't have to envy the fans of other countries, because they also have a ⊥ that they can pour all their emotions into and cheer unbridledly...... person
After the goal, Chen Long waved his arm past the Lyon players, and then was stopped by teammate Rodriguez, and the two sides hugged each other and rolled to the ground.
A deafening shout rang out at the San Siro stadium.
"Dragons - Goal"
Because of the habit of placing foreigners' surnames at the end, most of them are called Chen Long, and they are all called "Long Chen".
Long Chen!
What a wonderful coincidence.
Against the backdrop of the revelry Milan fans, Tafel fought on the pitch, his eyes narrowed slightly, panting heavily.
He looked at Long Chen in the distance.
I can't figure out why, this kid Chen Long is so powerful. Why?
Why?
Why is he "Henry's successor?" But he has suffered setbacks again and again.
Why?
Is he really inferior to him?
Lyon coach Genesio sighed as Milan fans cheered.
He has to admit that after so many feats in the summer, the strength of this team has declined very badly. Because they won the league title last season, it was only natural that Lyon was completely divided in the transfer period.
The remaining Lyon players also seem to be a little lacking in fighting spirit.
Come to think of it, they already won a league title last season, and there's really no reason to ask them to keep fighting, you know, they beat Paris Saint-Germain.
So the result against Milan, who are full of motivation in every cell of their body, does not seem to be a surprise in the away game.
Of course, while the defeat to Milan may have been a fact, Genesio still didn't want to throw in the towel.
He's going to make adjustments.
At the very least, they can't be slaughtered away from home
Such a little face is still needed.
So he wanted to be replaced.
When the game resumed, another minute passed, the ball went out of bounds and the fourth official held up a substitution sign on the sidelines.
No. 10 Genesio is replaced.
Tafel seemed to have been prepared for a long time, so when he saw this substitution, he didn't say a word, and he didn't make any incredible movements or expressions.
Just keep your head down and walk off the field.
That doesn't mean he accepts the result with peace of mind.
From the face he occasionally raised, you could still tell that he was unhappy.
'Tafel was substituted and it was the right decision. Because he didn't play a central role on the pitch at all. In the duel with Chen, he was also defeated."
'There were no dangerous breakaways, no dangerous passes, just one dangerous shot...... That's the list of achievements that Tafel has delivered in his 65 minutes on the pitch. It's normal for you to be replaced early......"
"For Tafel, this game is nothing short of a shame for him. The tower cares about the ranking of the rising star list."
When the commentators saw Tafel's fate, they also mocked him mercilessly.
Perhaps Tarfel wished he hadn't played in this bout at all?
Of course, for Chen Long, the commentators are more praised, and indeed, Chen Long's performance is simply unbelievable. (To be continued.) )
