Everything in the home country is like a temporary vacation for yourself.

Until the Far Eastern Games in 17.

Looking back at this Far Eastern Games, it is actually particularly important for the Japanese team, because it was in this Games that the Japanese men's national football team became an army, and the first game of the army was against the Chinese team led by Tang Fuxiang. This match is also of great significance to the Chinese team, because it is the first 11-a-side international competition in which the Chinese team has participated in the record. On May 9, the battle began at the Shibaura Stadium in Tokyo. The national team debut was taken very seriously in Japan, with more than 10,000 Japanese spectators pouring into the stadium to cheer on. Even the crown prince was present to oversee the army, none other than Emperor Hirohito, who would later reign for 63 years.

As a result, the Chinese team did not give the host any face, and firmly grasped the situation on the field with the dual advantages of technology and body at the beginning, scored four goals in the first half, and won 5-0 in the end. Even at that time, because of the accidental injury of the main winger Ye Guisen, Feng Jianwei, who joined later, was a college student who was temporarily selected by captain Tang Fuxiang to go to Shanghai and be temporarily selected in the East China University League. However, Feng Jianwei of St. John's University became famous this time and scored a hat-trick in this game. The Japanese audience was silent, and Emperor Hirohito, who was still the crown prince, was even more pale.

At the same time, the Philippines and the host Japan team in other sports championship list fierce competition, football the Philippine team also performed well, and after the Chinese team defeated Japan, the Philippine team was unwilling, and did not intend to give the host any face, a 15:2 massacre was worse than the Chinese team, so that the Japanese team lost face.

Therefore, when the Sino-Philippine war came, the attention of athletes and local spectators in all sports was attracted. China's performance in other disciplines has been dismal, with only men's soccer being the fig leaf for the broken nation.

At the time, Alcantara was optimistic that they would win against China, at least evenly, as they did against any other opponent, even if China had already won two consecutive Far Eastern Games.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations, including him.

The time interval is too far, he can't remember the details of the game, but he still remembers that the Chinese team took a 2-0 lead in ten minutes, and in the second half, he completely controlled the situation on the field and scored the third goal, which has the potential to replicate the Japanese and Filipino games. The situation was out of control, and the mentality of the Filipino players on the field was also unbalanced, and the Philippine team beat the Chinese players, almost causing a big brawl on the court, losing and losing. The referee saw that the situation was not good, so he had to end the game and directly defeat the Philippine team.

At that time, he stood alone on the periphery of the outbreak of the conflict, and there was only a sigh in his heart.

In short, he missed the only chance to win the main event for the Philippine team, and could only watch the Chinese team lift the Peacock Flower Silver Cup, the champion of the Far Eastern Games.

But that defeat is not bad for him, although he is outstanding, but he is still a fledgling newcomer, there are also many bigwigs in the Philippines who control the ball, the right to speak and the right to fight, the Chinese team Tang Fuxiang, Zhang Ronghan, Liang Yutang, etc. are at the peak of their own competition, and it is reasonable to win three consecutive championships. (In addition, he has also represented the Philippine national team to play table tennis, which should be a real regret, because the Philippines still has a chance to win against China after football, but table tennis is absolutely impossible, hahaha!) ）

Two years in China were just a blink of an eye, and soon he returned to Barcelona to continue playing football and continuing to study medicine.

After that, he went through many more competitive competitions than that one and won, but it was always a small regret, after which Spain invited him to join the Spanish national team for the 1920 Olympic Games, and he politely declined, except to concentrate on his studies, there was no doubt about the impact of that unfinished battle. It was two years before he officially started playing for Spain.

Supposedly, everything is already successful after retiring from European football, and it is natural that he will not go back to playing at a low level in Asia. I didn't think I would have to cross paths with Chinese players again, but I didn't expect God to play a little joke with him.

There is a saying that "wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night", he is not exempt from vulgarity, after hanging up his boots, he will also return to his homeland in the Philippines to meet relatives and friends. It coincided with the visit of the team organized by Li Huitang to the Philippines in 1927, this Chinese became the new standard-bearer of the Chinese team after Tang Fuxiang, and every time he went to the Philippines to fight, he won every time, and the team continued to monopolize the Far East championship, which made the Philippine people quite resentful. happened to meet him, the big ball king who returned from abroad, how could he not pull him into battle? At the beginning, he was reluctant to participate on the grounds that he was not in shape for training after hanging up his boots, but he couldn't save the face of his hometown friends, and he selfishly recalled the final more than ten years ago, and he should give back to the fans in his hometown, so he participated in that friendly match.

I didn't expect to almost miss this time!

I thought it was just an ordinary game, but the opposing team showed good discipline and excellent tactical literacy, not to mention Li Huitang's firepower on the offensive end, and there were two "Sun" and "Chen" who left an impression on Alcantara. That's not all, although his team-mates from home were happy to create chances for him in the game, and he did contribute no less than five excellent shots himself - at least three of those chances at Barca!

But that one!

He didn't score a single goal!

To be honest, the amazing strength of the other party's young goalkeeper made him jaw-dropping at the time.

What's even more incredible is that-

The young goalkeeper was just a student who slipped out to play football and took a year off......

……

Well, the one who left a deep impression on Alcantara is Zhou Xianyan, the third goalkeeper of the Chinese team today. As mentioned earlier, at the beginning of Li Huitang's team to Australia in 1927, Zhou Xianyan's performance can only be described as "sparse", and his state has improved step by step and reached the peak, far exceeding the expectations of his teammates. By the time the team arrived in the Philippines, his form had already been sharpened. Otherwise, it is far from easy to say who will win and who will lose in the battle of Alcantara's glorious return to his hometown.

Lu Zhuhu didn't expect Zhou Xianyan to have such an experience at all, and what is even more amazing is that this benevolent brother defended Barcelona's all-time goalscorer king one-on-one, if it wasn't for the basic confirmation here in Alcantara, Lu Zhuhu really thought that this guy was bragging.

Zhou Xianyan recalled that at that time, he seemed to hear the Filipino call this guy "El Romperedes" (net destroyer), and he was still thinking that Mao had such a strange name. And this guy stuffed a white towel in his pants, most of which was exposed, which looked even weirder (and also his signature outfit at Barcelona), Zhou Xianyan thought that this guy ran and ran and ran out of ***...... (Khan ...... ）
