Chapter 100: Who is the Real Asian Ball King?

Because everyone can't understand Chinese, otherwise they will definitely flock to him and beat him wildly.

The guy who is proud and not ashamed is naturally Lu Zhuhu. It's just that looking around the week, most of the "Barcelona" players he challenged are eighteen or nineteen years old, young in their early twenties-

Well, that's nothing to be proud of.

Although he himself is only in his early twenties.

The purpose of his visit is naturally to show the young players of Barcelona the strength and quality of Chinese players, only if they recognize your ability, they will not despise you because you come from a backward country.

After showing his strong attacking ability one after another, Lu Zhuhu relented a little, no longer working alone, looking to create scoring opportunities for his teammates. Although there is no Cruyff's influence at this time and the extreme passing, Barcelona's players do have a tradition of selecting thin players from the beginning, and the style of Latin football can still be seen. Therefore, Lu Zhuhu did not show too much of his physical advantages, and the other party should not like it very much, so try to come up with some concise and effective skills that appeared in later generations, which made Barcelona's youth army feel very fresh, this Asian man's path looks very different from them, to put it mildly, it seems to be more modern than what they usually learn-

Could it be that in the far East, people play football like this?

It's no wonder that Mr. Alcantara has scored so many goals – although he is only of Oriental descent, it is still essentially Barcelona's genetic.

In fact, it was not just the guys who felt that it had opened their eyes, and Alcantara himself couldn't help but stop and observe for a while. The awareness, the technique, the choice of shots from this Asian national – all of which were outstanding. Moreover, he also has outstanding physical qualities that he does not have.

It's really enviable!

Barcelona is the first stop of the land chase in Europe, and the choice here can be regarded as a coincidence.

Lu Zhuhu came to the side of Paulino Alcantara, a fellow Asian countryman, and said with a smile: "I want to thank you for your help today." ”

"It's just a matter of effort." Alcantara nodded at him: "Besides, if possible, I would also be happy to see a young talent like you play for Barcelona." ”

Lu Zhuhu laughed: "It's not impossible, no one can say anything about the future." (Then, he turned around and went to Real Madrid...... )

The question of who was the best player in Asia in the first half of the 20th century was sometimes talked about by fans on Chinese forums. Alcantara spent the rest of his time playing in the Europa League, except for two years in the Philippines from 1916 to 1917. Li Huitang's trajectory is basically in East Asia, at most he goes to Australia from time to time to make expeditions, and the two Olympic Games are one of the few experiences he has had in Europe.

Many people took this as an opportunity to think that Alcantara had completely destroyed the Asian native. The resume is simply incomparable, not to mention that Alcantara not only plays for the Europa League, but also for the giants Barcelona, and is also the all-time leading goalscorer - isn't it obvious which is higher or lower?

However, there is not much overlap in the careers of the two men, the age difference is several years, and Alcantara retired in 1927, at this time Li Huitang is gradually consolidating his position in Shanghai football.

To be fair, Barcelona was not Barcelona from the beginning, it was because of today's dreams and dreams that it was pushed to the throne of the Universe Team, and even the ancient gods also had a lofty status. And because of the contemporary Chinese team, it is basically believed that this country can't produce any decent football players, and even the guy who scored 1,800 goals with his own FIFA vice president, AFC secretary general, and two-time Asian Games champion, has also become a "wild ball". The so-called "five world football kings" selected by West Germany for a long time are naturally nonsense on the whim of a certain media, but there is no need to overkill, after all, there are still people who are willing to talk nonsense.

……

Alcantara's name is thunderous for Lu Zhuhu. In fact, he has always been curious about the strength of this gentleman, and what is the strength of Barcelona in this era - after all, after winning the first La Liga championship, Barcelona has a gap in league championships for many years. He also asked Li Huitang vigorously what he thought of the skills and achievements of this Asian fellow, and who was better than his brother and him. Boss Guangliang scratched his head, and after thinking about it, he held back a sentence:

Belch...... I don't recognize this person......

Lu Zhuhu: "......"

All right......

The only Far Eastern Games Alcantara participated in was held in Japan in 1917 (the appearance data is doubtful), and the representative of the Chinese team at that time was still the idol of the first generation of football kings Tang Fuxiang and Li Huitang, and Li Huitang himself was still a half-grown child!

However, one of the people in the Chinese team said to Lu Zhuhu: "Alcantara? Is it the one from the Philippines, this person - I know. ”

……

With the English letter of recommendation written by the hero, Lu Zhuhu came to Europe and found Alcantara directly. In Catalonia, Alcantara was very surprised to meet an Asian fellow defector, as well as an old acquaintance letter. Alcantara is also interested in Lu's request: to get a chance to try out for Barcelona and, if possible, to contact Barcelona and China to warm up.

Even if it's a celebrity, it's not up to him who he plays with. Alcantara, however, readily agreed to Lu's first request.

"Don't you want me to show you a little bit about my skills?" Since he was here to sell, Lu Zhuhu naturally made some preparations.

"No need." Alcantara smiled and folded the letter and put it away: "'Old friend' said that Your Excellency is one of the two best players in China today, the best footballer in Asia, and will only appear in the Philippines and China. I can trust it. ”

……

For the Chinese team, an old rival of Philippine football, Alcantara also has deep memories.

At that time, Asians, looking at the mother country of the colonial and semi-colonial regions, had the dream of learning advanced science and technology and civilization in Europe, and going back to transform that ancient but backward place. Alcantara is no exception, he wants to be a doctor, after all, the Philippines is also a country full of disease, poverty and drugs. At the age of 20, he returned to the Philippines from Europe as the first step towards realizing his original dream. He also joined the local club, and with the skills and strength of the Barcelona academy, he also won the recognition and love of the local Filipino fans, and also joined the Philippine national team. The Asian game is rarely stressful and less intense than in Europe, after all, modern football in the Far East started late, and China and the Philippines were basically playing, and Japan only joined the ranks later. What prompted him to return to Europe was the decisive battle between China and the Philippines in Japan at the Far Eastern Games that year.
