Chapter 53: Return
Unlike the situation in S.M., the Korean youth team officially ushered in the first game on the third day of arrival in Berlin, as the main core of the team, Baek Chan-ho wore the No. 39 jersey and led the other 10 players to ride the wind and waves to stand out from the group stage.
The focus of the world is on the South Korean team, the man wearing the No. 39 jersey, who has a handsome appearance, breaks through like a gust of wind, dribbles with extreme elegance, and has an extremely wide passing vision, and one person can control the whole court and even turn the situation around.
Domestic
The people who didn't pay much attention to the youth team also increased their concern for the football team because of Baek Chan-ho, and all the TV broadcasters canceled the programs that were scheduled to be broadcast at that time to broadcast the youth team when the Korean youth team had a game.
Among them, the S Broadcasting Bureau invited South Korea's most representative world-class football celebrity Cha Fan Geun as a guest commentator, and Cha Fan Geun's commentary pushed Baek Chan Ho to a higher realm, directly comparing Baek Chan Ho and Park Ji Sung, which shows that Baek Chan Ho is more comprehensive and more talented in football than Park Ji Sung.
In the United Kingdom, Manchester City's two teams paid attention to Bai Chanhao at the same time, among them, Manchester United's ace team was originally concerned about another foreign Korean star, that is, Park Ji-sung in Cha Fan Geun's mouth, Park Ji-sung followed Hiddink to Eindhoven after the World Cup, and Hiddink recommended this favorite player to Ferguson, who had planned to recruit Park Ji-sung in the summer transfer, and Ferguson once again asked Hiddink about Baek Chan-ho.
Bai Canhao, who doesn't know this, only wants to lead everyone to move forward, after entering the knockout round, the opponents he encountered are stronger than one another, in the top 8 battle, after a hard 120-minute game, Bai Canhao finally completed the lore and led the Korean team to the semi-finals.
The opponent in the semi-finals is the strong Brazilian team, this time Baek Chan-ho did not succeed in turning the situation, the whole court possession, attack, passing accuracy, number of threats, etc., the South Korean team is one notch behind the Brazilian team, only leading the Brazilian team in the number of fouls.
Finally, after 90 minutes of onslaught by the Brazilian team, the game ended with a score of 1:3, and the moment the whistle blew, Bai Canhao fell on the turf, looking at the blue sky, something was rolling in his eyes, everything he could did was done, but unfortunately the opponent was too strong, so strong that he couldn't do anything.
All the team members walked to Bai Canhao's side, stretched out their hands to pull Bai Canhao up from the turf, in order not to let his teammates see his sad and disappointed appearance, Bai Canhao secretly wiped away a tear accidentally left, squeezed out a smile, and comforted the other team members instead.
On the opponent's side, Brazil, which is recognized as the strongest country in football in the world, and the Brazilian team, which focuses on most of the world's talented players, shook hands with the South Korean team amicably after the game and exchanged jerseys, and the opponent's eyes were full of respect when they looked at Bai Chanhao.
If the South Korean team in the 02 World Cup did not win because of the home field, then this time, the South Korean team played a football game that was more like fair competition, without malicious injuries, no desperate fouls to interrupt the rhythm of the game, and the players on the field were running hard and defending, all because of the team's core Bai Canhao.
Although it was a pity that they did not make it to the final, in the race for third place, the Korean team, which had completely relaxed, under the leadership of Baek Chan-ho, fought against the British team in a big positional battle, and at the end of the 90-minute game, the Korean team won the third place with a score of 2:1.
This was already the best record in the history of South Korea, and the best record in the history of Asia to be exact, and the team held a celebration banquet in Berlin that night, and boarded the plane back to South Korea at noon the next day.
No one thought about what they would face when they arrived at the airport, the moment the glass doors opened, they were surrounded by countless flashing lights, screams were heard one after another, reporters from major broadcasts and news agencies chased the coaches, captains and key players to try to conduct interviews, and fans tried to ask for an autograph.
Such a scene surprised and shocked a group of young players who represented the country for the first time, including Bai Canhao, among whom there were the most reporters who wanted to interview Bai Canhao, and even the reporters of variety shows, the program reporter called the entertainer intermediary.
Bai Canhao, who didn't understand this at all, still kept a smile and followed the coach and the players to leave the airport and get on the bus, and when he returned to the training center, the coach found Bai Canhao and told him that he needed to participate in a few news interviews.
The South Korean team has returned with honor, and everyone's concern is focused on the players and coaches who are out of the station this time, and in China, there has been news that Manchester United wants to get the news of Bai Chanhao, and the famous British football agent has also revealed that Coach Alex Ferguson is already operating this matter.
When he was in Berlin, Bai Canhao also heard the coach mention that he didn't think much about it at that time, he just felt that he had to play the game in front of him first, and when the game was over, Bai Canhao also forgot about it.
Back at the training center, after the coach finished the training, all the teammates disbanded on the spot and returned to their own ball team, the captain Ji Chengyong followed the coach to attend an interview, and Bai Canhao also stayed in the ball group reception room waiting for the reporter to interview him.
It's different from what I imagined, the reporters who came to see him would first ask for a photo and an autograph, and then start to enter the interview, the general content is the same, asking Bai Canhao about his thoughts on his future, and when asked how to deal with the rumors with Manchester United, Bai Canhao said that he is looking forward to playing in a top team like Manchester United, which will definitely be a very happy thing, if he really has the opportunity, he will give full play to all his talents.
The report on Baek Chan-ho had covered all corners of the Republic of Korea an hour after the interview, and at that time, Baek Chan-ho was on his way back to Seoul.
On the BUS, Baek Chan-ho was chatting with the citizens almost all about it, and when he arrived in Seoul, Baek Chan-ho did not go home directly, but went to the S.M company with a happy mood.
When he walked into the snack bar, the president saw that Bai Canhao was so enthusiastic, and immediately walked up to Bai Canhao and said, "It turned out to be true, I misunderstood you before, Canhaojun, what do you want to eat, I have a treat today." ”
Bai Canhao didn't want the president to have a treat, so he rummaged through the bag in his hand and found that there was no money left on his body, only enough money to buy two cups of coffee, so he simply agreed to the president, because of Bai Canhao's appearance, people passing by here gradually gathered together, taking pictures and talking about it.
Half an hour later, Baek Chan-ho saw that the time was almost up, so he bought two cups of coffee and walked out of the snack bar, stood on the side of the road, looked at the trainees who came out of the training center, and hurriedly walked over after finding Kim Tae-yeon.
"Dwarf, Oppa is back." In a word, the people around him who followed were curious.
Everyone looked at Kim Taeyeon's expressions were a little different, Baek Chan-ho didn't understand this, he was just very happy to be able to see Kim Taeyeon, so he couldn't wait to come here, at first Kim Taeyeon hadn't found Baek Chan-ho, and only after hearing the familiar voice did he look up, and saw Baek Chan-ho carrying a bag and standing in front with a smile with coffee in his hand.
She didn't want to shut up Baek Canhao in front of so many people, otherwise he would be dead, but now Baek Canhao is a public figure who has attracted much attention, and outside, Kim Taeyeon will still care about his face, so she walked up to Baek Canhao and smiled and said, "Congratulations, this competition is very exciting." ”
This made Bai Chanhao a little stunned, directly ignored the onlookers around him, looked at Kim Taeyeon suspiciously, and finally reached out and touched Kim Taeyeon's head and muttered: "I'm not sick, what's the situation, why did I suddenly become a little strange." ”
Regardless of Baek Chan-ho's muttering, Kim Taeyeon strode forward, and Baek Chan-ho chased after him, smiled and said goodbye to those who cared about him, and then caught up with Kim Taeyeon and handed over a cup of coffee and asked, "By the way, what about Jessica, why didn't you see her?" ”
