Time always flows inadvertently, and Shao Yifan, who has returned to the state, is full of firepower and has shown the energy to train when he was at Manchester United, even more than then. As a result, he was quickly recognized by the players and coaches in the team, and even Chen Wei, who was a little disappointed in him at first, changed his mentality. When two years have passed, Shao Yifan, who is only 17 years old, already has the strength to play in the first team.

Now he realizes the real situation in the Chinese Super League, although it is far from comparable to the European League, but it is not as simple as he imagined two years ago.

In the past two years, his daily life has been training, and he may occasionally visit the small city of Chixian, but most of the time is spent on training, even during the holidays. He always told himself that if you want to be a good player, you must be disciplined and hardworking. There are no shortcuts on this path.

On July 5, in the sixteenth round of the Chinese Super League, Chixian Barefoot sat at home to face Guangzhou Evergrande.

And this time, Shao Yifan finally entered the first team squad. Of course, he was also selected for the list, as well as Chen Wei, who is also seventeen years old. Although he failed to get the start, this is also a very meaningful sign for Shao Yifan and Chen Wei.

He's grown a lot in the last two years, both technically and mentally. He has been able to control his emotions a lot of the time and not be affected by some things. The emotional Shao Yifan began to slowly move towards rationality, although it is not possible to say whether this is good or bad, but it does mean that he is more mature.

The home stadium of barefoot is called Sky Stadium, which is a rare large-scale modern football arena in the Super League, which can accommodate sports, shopping and entertainment, and can accommodate nearly 60,000 spectators. Among the fans, he is known as the "Chinese Bernabeu".

The Sky Stadium is as predominantly sky blue as the barefoot jersey, yes, sky blue. Barefeet, who have the word "deficit" in their name, did not choose red as their color. However, looking at the modern stadium as a sea of sky blue also makes people feel a different kind of pleasure.

Barefoot has been very successful in promoting the team in the region, and the people of Chixian County, who have had a mediocre response to football, have been cheered on by nearly 40,000 people every game since the team was promoted to the Chinese Super League. The Sky Stadium, built in the urban area, has also become one of the most important commercial centers in Chi County. These changes for Chixian are huge.

However, since being promoted to the Chinese Super League, the team's results have not been very ideal, and they have been on the verge of relegation for two consecutive years. This is the third season, but judging by the current 11th place in the league, relegation is still the main task this season.

On the other hand, on the side of Evergrande, although the great cause of the seventh consecutive championship of the Chinese Super League last season was ended by SIPG, the team is still the top of the Chinese Super League, and it has also reached the quarterfinals in the AFC Champions League.

Barefoot against Evergrande can be said to have little chance of winning, but still try your best.

In the first half of the game, barefoot and fearless, playing offensive football at home, and Evergrande you come and go, so exciting! But in the end, neither side was able to save me from the back of the net and it was a 0-0 draw.

At halftime, Shao Yifan, who had nothing to do, was suddenly called over by the coach and informed him that he might come on as a substitute in the second half.

What the? Do I still have a chance to play? Shao Yifan was a little surprised, after all, for a strong opponent like Evergrande, the team generally chooses the most stable lineup, rather than replacing a newcomer.

However, soon Shao Yifan understood. The coach is trying to give up. Although the two sides played well in the first half, in the second half, Evergrande, which is determined to win, will definitely have new tactical adjustments, and then start to attack fiercely. With the current team of barefoot, it is really very difficult to win this game. Rather than that, it is better to rotate the main force in case there are any unexpected injuries.

Seeing Shao Yifan's immediately understanding eyes, the coach nodded with satisfaction.

When the time came to the second half, Shao Yifan was not replaced at the first moment. The coach is still waiting, or he is also a little unwilling.

Until the 61st minute of the game, Evergrande foreign aid Talisca broke through two barefoot defenders with the ball, and then rewrote the score with a world wave. The barefoot coach made a substitution adjustment with some gloom.

Shao Yifan, who wore the No. 22 jersey, replaced the barefoot main striker Berio - an excellent player from Colombia, 28 years old, wearing the barefoot No. 7 jersey.

In this way, on this ordinary night, when the game was almost at the halfway point of the second half, Shao Yifan finally ushered in his career debut. Remember this day, this is the day it all began.

The blue fans at the Sky Stadium applauded the 17-year-old player. Since Shao Yifan joined the team two years ago, they have been following the growth of this Manchester United teenager. Now we are looking forward to his debut performance at home.

"Oh, audience friends, the personnel adjustment has been made on the barefoot side, and No. 22 Shao Yifan has replaced No. 7 Berio." Jin Qiuzheng, the commentator of CCTV who broadcast the game, introduced the situation on the field, and at the same time continued to introduce Shao Yifan after the substitution was completed, "Speaking of the name Shao Yifan, old fans must be familiar with it, he comes from Manchester United Academy, has been selected for the England national junior team, and scored a hat trick in the friendly match against the Brazilian national junior team, helping England beat Brazil 3-1. However, he left England two years ago to join a barefoot club, and at just 17 years old, he made his professional debut at Sky Stadium today. ”

And with the introduction of CCTV commentator Jin Qiu, the audience of this game began to grow slowly. Many people are eager to see what happened to the once sensational Red Devils genius? Although in the past two years, there have occasionally been some small reports about Shao Yifan, but he has been obsessed with training and has not received a call from the national team, and he soon faded out of people's sight. Now, the fans who were excited about Shao Yifan's return suddenly discovered that two years have passed, and the original teenager is already going to a higher arena.

Shao Yifan, who had just arrived on the pitch, was excited, and standing on this pitch, he once remembered that night at Old Trafford. Of course, in terms of pitch alone, Sky Stadium is not much worse than Old Trafford.

Shao Yifan was very positive on the court, and his speed advantage surprised people as soon as it was revealed.

Shao Yifan got the ball, he didn't pass back, he chose to break through from the side! So fast! What a speed! Commentator Jin Qiu couldn't control his surprise, "He broke through with the ball from the side, Zhang Xiuwei was quickly passed by him, and Li Xuepeng, who was back on defense, couldn't catch up with him at all!" ”

At this time, Shao Yifan has not been on the field for a long time, his physical strength is sufficient, and speed is his strength, so he can be caught off guard by the Evergrande defense line he faced.

I saw Shao Yifan running all the way to the front of Evergrande's penalty area with the ball, and the Evergrande defense players have not yet returned to their positions, in the face of such an opportunity, if it is other Chinese players, most of them are waiting and handing the ball over to the foreign aid to keep up, but Shao Yifan, who has self-confidence, chose to seize the opportunity.

Kick up, shoot from distance!
