9. A live broadcast of the Premier League
After more than a dozen hours of bumpy flight, a steaming hot pot really warms the whole body. After helping the host clean up the table, the two families sat down in front of the TV again.
"Dad is still the starter today!" Xiao Jingjing had already switched her TV to a sports channel and excitedly introduced it to the guests.
"The opponent is ...... Middlesbrough ...... "Qin Goode took a look at the squad introduction and found that the only names he had ever heard of were Downing and Richards, whether it was the home team or the away team.
At the parade ceremony between the two sides, Qin Gude saw Sun Jihai wearing the No. 17 jersey, in the camera, he was holding his hands behind his back, his lips were slightly open and closed, he looked very calm, and he seemed to have adapted to the atmosphere of the Premier League game.
"This is Richards," Wang Jiayu pointed to a slightly shorter black strong man next to her husband, "Although this guy is only 18 years old, the black man is too good and has always occupied the position of right back, and Ji Hai can only play back or center back." ”
"This black man is only 18 years old?" Sun Xiaoying looked surprised, "It's obviously the same as ...... in his forties"
As soon as the game began, the speed of the commentary immediately became faster, and Qin Goode felt that he immediately became deaf. However, years of experience in watching football are not enough for him to be unable to understand the game screen.
Sun Jihai really appeared in the position of the back midfield, but his task is not only to defend and intercept, once there is an opportunity, he will also step forward to participate in the attack as soon as possible.
Fortunately, he is in the midfield most of the time, and the TV camera often has his picture, which makes Sun's mother and Jingjing, who don't know how to play, always stay excited.
Judging from the level of those teammates and Shide team players he saw in China, Sun Jihai's speed, physical fitness, strength, will, and passing, running, interception and other skills are absolutely first-class, but in today's arena, he can only be regarded as a qualified and diligent player, especially compared with the black and hard Richards, his explosiveness and bounce are obviously inferior.
"Aunt Yu, what are you writing about?" Sun Xiaoying didn't have that much interest in football, and after only watching it for more than ten minutes, she began to find topics with others.
Mama Sun replied while writing seriously in her notebook: "It's nothing, this is his sixth start this season, I'm just making a record." ”
"What round is this today?" Qin Wenbin also took a look.
"Round 10." Xiao Jingjing stretched out two small hands and shook them in front of them.
"That's good." Qin Wenbin nodded, and his attention was on the TV screen again.
"Be careful!" Wang Jiayu almost jumped.
In order to tackle the ball just now, Sun Jihai fell to the ground and made a flying tackle, sweeping the opponent's left winger No. 19 Tang Ning directly out of the sideline.
"Nice shovel!" Qin Wenbin clapped his hands, "The previous No. 19 broke through several times on the right side of Manchester City, and the black boy named Richards couldn't prevent him at all, if there was no Ji Hai's kick, No. 19 would have been able to play a high ball!" ”
Qin Goode nodded secretly: Although Tang Ning, who later transferred to Liverpool, was nicknamed "Tang Zero" because of his lack of form, but when he first became famous, his fast breakthrough kung fu was indeed very powerful, and it was difficult for Richards, who had just turned 18, to completely block him in one-on-one, and in the first half hour of this game, he managed to break through at least three times, if it weren't for the bad luck of the mid-lane outflanking players, I am afraid that the score could be rewritten in the first ten minutes.
Then the game fell into a stalemate, and the home and away sides began to explode each other's wings: Manchester City gave up the right side, but concentrated their forces to penetrate the opponent's right side, and Myburgh also completely leaned towards the left side where Downing had the advantage, and both sides coincidentally played the most primitive English football: the side bottom, long pass and hanging.
The whole game is fast-paced and the confrontation is also fierce, but every time the football reaches the front, it seems to be stuck in the quagmire, and it is rarely passed into the vicinity of the penalty area, more just the strangulation of the side and the midfield, and it is not uncommon for people to turn on their backs.
"Isn't this a red card?" Sun Xiaoying, who rarely pays attention to Premier League games, finally couldn't help but ask, "What a fierce kick!" If you really kick your leg, I'm afraid it will break directly. ”
"The Premier League is originally about physical confrontation, and besides, the black man shoveled the football first, and he didn't raise his foot, at most he gave a verbal warning." Qin Wenbin is far more professional than his wife.
As a result, Richards didn't even give a verbal warning, just slapped his buttocks, and raised his chin like a demonstration towards Tangning.
Then Tang Ning, who had been blown up by the air, rushed towards him again with red eyes......
"Manchester City's two strikers...... It's not as good as Myburgh. Qin Wenbin slapped his thigh, and the big white man on the TV was hiding his face in front of the empty door and sighing.
Qin Goode borrowed a list of Manchester City players from Wang Jiayu, 85-year-old Samaras is 194 tall, Sun Jihai commented that he "has height, skills under his feet, but he is slow to react and afraid of confrontation", and another 76-year-old Corradi is "well-rounded in technology, too old, and has no momentum", and is not as fierce as the midfielder bad boy Barton.
Perhaps no longer holding out hope for the two strikers, in the last ten minutes, Manchester City's captain and centre-back Dunn began to rush into the front to participate in the attack, and just as he first rushed into the box, he received a hanging pass from Sun Jihai and forced the football into the door of the visitors.
"It's Ji Hai's assist!" Wang Jiayu excitedly reported to her mother-in-law.
"Oh, I didn't even see it clearly!" Sun's mother hurriedly opened the book and neatly recorded her son's results.
On the replay screen, Sun Jihai, who has been incarnated as a central defender, rounded his thigh near the center circle and kicked a long pass of more than 40 meters, although Samaras, who is 194 tall, has a glance at the mountains, but his slow movement speed and extremely poor running awareness make him unable to grab the landing point at all, fortunately, Dunn rushed in diagonally from outside the penalty area, a very visually impactful dive bombardment, and the Myburgh goalkeeper who was close to two meters did not react to this!
The already quiet atmosphere at the City Stadium was suddenly blown up by this goal!
Dunn swept past the goal with his arms outstretched like a full-powered jet, leading his teammates straight in front of the home fan gathering.
"Sun!" He hugged Sun Jihai, who had given him an assist, tightly with his strong arms, "Pass beautifully!" ”
Sun Jihai laughed and patted Dunn's back hard: "You're going to strangle me, captain!" ”
They were like heroes who received the warmest congratulations from the City Stadium and gave the final score of 1-0 to 30,000 home fans.
"Mom," Wang Jiayu asked her mother-in-law with a smile, "This is Ji Hai's third assist this season, right?" ”
Mother Sun also smiled: "Yes, one goal and three assists." ”
"Aunt Wang, I heard that there are bonuses for goals and assists in the Premier League, isn't that the case?" Qin Gude asked curiously, "How much money can Uncle Sun have for an assist?" ”
"Goode, in England, it's rude for you to ask someone how much money they make." Qin Wenbin patted his son's head.
"It's okay," Wang Jiayu waved his hand, "In your Uncle Sun's new contract, score a goal of 10,000 and assist an assist of 3,000, pounds." ”
"Three thousand pounds! 20 assists a year is 60,000! 50 is 150,000! And it's pounds! "Sun Xiaoying is really ignorant and fearless.
"Uh......" Wang Jiayu was a little embarrassed, but she also knew that she really didn't know much about the ball, and she didn't mean to be embarrassed, so she had to drink water to cover it up.
"Mom, you don't understand, how can it be as easy as you make dumplings!" Qin Gude hurriedly cleared the siege for Aunt Wang, "There are a total of 38 rounds in the Premier League, and those who can have more than 10 assists are all assist kings, and they are all midfielders, Uncle Sun He is a defender, and his main task is to defend, and there will not be many direct assist opportunities." (In fact, Sun Jihai has scored 3 league goals in the past few years at Manchester City, including 2 in the Championship, 6 assists, 2 of them in the Championship and 1 in the Europa League)
"Goode knows so much, that's how it is." Mother Sun hurriedly stuffed the apples on the table to him, "Come, eat more fruit, don't be polite to us." ”
"Thank you, Grandma Yu!" He thanked him repeatedly.
"Alright, it's not too early, let's rest." Qin Wenbin slapped his back and stood up from the sofa. After a whole day on the plane and two hours of hard work, I really couldn't hold it anymore.
However, after washing, Qin Gude, who was lying on the bed, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and his mind was full of all kinds of speculations about tomorrow's results.
Can you get the affirmation of the opposing coach?
If not, then ...... What to do?
Do you want to go back to your hometown in disgrace?
