Chapter 8: The Realm of the Old Horse

The Chinese team won the first game, and the whole of China was surrounded by an optimistic and enthusiastic atmosphere, the first time to participate in the World Cup, the first game, the first victory.

"Comprehensive technique, excellent body, first-class dribbling and shooting skills, super awareness, the strongest newcomer in history, the king of the ball BOSS!"

This passage is the evaluation of the British "Sun" after the game, and this passage is already the greatest recognition for a player!

The last generation of strong teams in Eastern Europe, the last glory of Yugoslavia, maybe it was their misfortune, maybe it was their luck - at least, they fought vigorously in the World Cup as the glory of the last Yugoslavia.

This can also be regarded as Ling Feng's honor, others don't know, can Ling Feng still not know, this is the swan song of the glorious Yugoslavia in world football, and he will be the emperor in the future, and he will not have this opportunity to fight against Yugoslavia.

AFC President Hammam publicly expressed his celebration of the Chinese team after the game, calling it a victory for Asia, saying that Asian teams are no longer chicken teams in the World Cup, and we can make the World Cup and even world football tremble!

It's just that, needless to say, when it comes to Asian teams, many fans in Europe and America consciously exclude China - not to split, but to make the gap between other Asian teams and the Chinese team a little wider.

Especially Ling Feng, who scored three goals, has now been lifted to a god-like height, scoring a hat trick in his World Cup debut at the age of ********, an achievement that is no longer comparable to any football celebrity.

Nowadays in China, as long as you find a lively town, there will inevitably be a picture of Ling Feng on the street - maybe some people will not know the Four Heavenly Kings, but absolutely no one will not know Ling Feng.

Now, as soon as you turn on the TV, the original advertising time is interspersed with highlights of Ling Feng's wonderful goals in recent years, and some TV stations even pull out the video of Ling Feng when he fell into the Asian Cup angrily!

Of course, advertisements are also to be broadcast, but I have to say that this way is very shrewd, the originally boring advertising time suddenly became very popular, just to see Ling Feng's goal, and the audience will be patient to get through the damn advertising time.

At this time, the entertainment media will naturally not be idle, Ling Feng's old bottom dug a lot, and then began to dig the Chinese team's players, several young players performed well on the field, although there were no goals, but first-class technology created a solid midfield of the Chinese team, and more importantly - for fans, they don't know much about Yue Lingxiang, Liu Dong and others.

As a result, the families of these young players, their friends, elementary school teachers, and even kindergarten aunts were invited to the studios of various TV stations to evaluate the growth path of these new generation of stars after Ling Feng.

"Yue Lingxiang has respected teachers since he was a child, and he has been a model among his classmates when he got three little red flowers in kindergarten.

One teacher said, 'I knew from the way he helped my grandfather cross the street that he would be able to make a career in the future!' ’”

In the training ground of the Chinese team outside Paris, Li Jinyu held a fax specially sent from China and read it in a grin, this is a local newspaper yesterday, and his friend specially sent it to France.

In the midst of everyone's laughter, Yue Lingxiang's face was flushed, these damn reporters can't help it!

But fortunately, such reports are only used as jokes to damage each other, and under the suppression of the two big heads of Ling Feng and Maradona, the impetuousness in the Chinese team has long disappeared without a trace.

For Maradona, now his popularity in China is also super high, Lao Ma is different from Ling Feng, Ling Feng is too lazy to accept advertisements - he has money, but Lao Ma is this guy, after taking office, he received five advertisements in a row!

As the head coach, although Lao Ma is busy, he still has a lot of free time, he likes to take advertisements and let him take them, Ling Feng is too lazy to care about him, anyway, Lao Ma is not there He takes the Chinese team to train together - and Lao Ma is also more principled, and will definitely not delay the normal working time.

It's just that this old rascal didn't have enough ads for air conditioners, phones, cars, and drinks for money, so he even ran to advertise condoms - and it was a public service announcement, which means safe with condoms......

It is said that Uncle Bailey made an advertisement for Viagra, and these two guys are really not an ordinary perfect match!

However, when the Chinese fans rejoiced and the world's major teams shouted wolf, the Chinese team members, who were already heroes, were now being severely criticized by Maradona in a room in the training base......

It may be a bit serious to say that the criticism is a bit serious, anyway, our heroes, including Ling Feng, have not received the encouragement they deserve as heroes, and Lao Ma is pointing to the picture on the big screen and is furious.

"Ling, although you have completed an extraordinary hat trick, I have to criticize you first! The vision is not wide enough, the ball is too lonely, of course, I am not restricting your play, and when you are near the midfield, there are many opportunities to pass the ball that have been wasted. ”

Ling Feng is naturally the first target to be criticized - this is also Ling Feng's own request, after all, as the core of the team, even if he is behind the black pot, he is naturally asked to be on top, otherwise if Lao Ma only criticizes others and does not criticize him, it will give other players a very unbalanced psychology.

Of course, Ling Feng should also scold, as Lao Ma said, he did waste a few offensive opportunities in the game because of his recklessness - but these opportunities are negligible for the fans.

"Look at this attack in the fifteenth minute," Lao Ma stopped the picture and pointed to the big screen and said, at this time, the big screen showed that Ling Feng's position was in the arc of the midfield, and he had just gotten the ball, and the opponent's Yugovic was running up to intercept it.

"Haidong was in a good position at the time, the two defenders around him have not yet formed a pinch, if you pass here at this time," Lao Ma pointed to the open area on the left side of the penalty area and said: "We can form a large-scale attack, but you gave the ball to Liu Dong on the right, although you controlled the midfield, but missed such a good opportunity for a fast attack." ”

"Oh my God!" Ling Feng hadn't reacted yet, and the young generals below were all wailing in their stomachs, mother's, mother's, Lao Ma's requirements were too strict!

In such a fierce game, who can have enough vision to observe the situation on the entire court in such detail!

Ling Feng is also a little angry, Maradona, this bastard just wants to catch the typical and change it to a simpler one, okay, such a so-called opportunity to grab a lot on the field, if any player can know the running situation of the players on the field anytime and anywhere and be able to deal with it in time - let's put it this way, Ling Feng's current ability is already at the Mars level, but that kind of player is no longer an existence that does not belong to the solar system!

Lao Ma is actually very depressed, it is Ling Feng himself who wants to catch Ling Feng, but the problem is that he really doesn't have too many mistakes on the court, barely enough, the improper handling of the ball just now is considered one......

"Haidong, you and Yang also have a problem with the partnership on the front line, you know, the striker is not to attract the opponent's firepower, but to score, both of you have a problem, that is, you don't dare to shoot."

Maradona pointed to the big screen and said: "This is a chance in the first half of the thirty-seven minutes, this fast opportunity Haidong dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area, although no one answered, but don't you dare to shoot directly at the goal?" ”

On the screen, Hao Haidong's position is about five meters in front of the left side of the penalty area, and there is a defender in front of him and one on the left, and Yang Chen's position closest to him is still six or seven meters behind him.

Hao Haidong, who had no one to answer, had no choice but to break through on the side, but the ball was cut off by the opponent, and the attack failed.

"Don't you see that the opposing goalkeepers have started to run forward?" Maradona pointed to the big screen and said: "The goalkeeper will choose to attack at this time, Ou (Chu Liang), you can tell me if it were you, what action would you take in such a situation." ”

Ou Chuliang, who was named, didn't understand Lao Ma's intentions, but he still scratched his head and said truthfully: "I will attack when Haidong gets the ball, but it won't be too far, and I will probably run to this place......"

Ou Chuliang pointed to the position about three meters in front of the small penalty area.

"Very good," Maradona smiled, "Let's take a look at Ling's last goal again......"

Fast forward to the picture, Ling Feng's last goal was almost in the same position as Hao Haidong, and he shot from a distance before the opponent's defender came up.

"Actually, we have a lot of opportunities, but you don't know how to grasp it, or rather, you are quite restrained on the field, Hao, you tell me, if during training, the ball in this position makes you hang the door, how sure are you that you can score?"

"If there's a goalkeeper, I've adjusted my shot when he's just out of the box and the success rate is about 70 percent." Hao Haidong thought for a while and said, and then added: "When I am fully prepared and the opponent's goalkeeper is not well prepared." ”

Lao Ma smiled and said nothing, and everyone immediately understood that anyone who scored a long-range goal was basically a surprise of the goalkeeper, but to follow what Lao Ma said, once there was no chance to shoot, it was too crazy.

"Old rascal, how did you come up with this?" After the meeting, Ling Feng caught Maradona and asked, such an unprecedented idea, that is, he didn't dare to do it, Ling Feng's long-range shots during the game were basically shot when the opponent's defense was opened.

"Rely on your brain," Lao Ma posed a deep pose as he walked: "People like me who can't play are thinking when they're fine, in fact, there are many opportunities to take advantage of in the game, but you can't see it in that kind of tense game, you have to understand this level, your realm is going to go up to the next level, oops!" ”

"What's the use of having a high realm?" Ling Feng looked at the old horse who tripped over the threshold and shrugged: "Your eyesight has dropped another level......

In the next game against China and Germany, the winner is basically the first in the group, although the German team's lineup is old, but the traditional fighting spirit of the Germans can make up for this, but under the guidance of the old horse, most of the closed training of the Chinese team in the past two days is practicing long-range shooting hanging doors, hoping to use this kind of raid to score when the situation cannot be opened.

However, the Chinese team still has a big advantage, that is, home advantage.

Although Germany and France are relatively close, the stadium where this game is played is not ordinary, it is not only France where Ling Feng grew up, but also Paris, Parc des Princes Stadium!

Where Ling Feng really became famous!

The 60,000 tickets were sold out early, and the Germans only got the 25,000 tickets reserved for them, and the rest were all snapped up by the fans in Paris, except for about 10,000 Chinese fans and overseas Chinese.

And on the black market, where an ordinary position was originally only six hundred francs, has now soared to three thousand francs a piece, and the French police have cracked a number of cases of scalpers.

Zidane couldn't help but call Ling Feng and said that now his status among fans in France, especially in Paris, is too high, even in the French team's games, the tickets in the group stage have not been so high.

And according to the schedule, if France and China successfully qualify for the group and make it all the way to the semi-finals, the stadium will be the newly built final venue of the Stade de France, also in Paris.

No one can forget the semi-finals of the '90 World Cup, when Argentina met the host Italy at the Stadio San Paulo in Naples, and as a result, the crazy Neapolitan fans cheered for their king and cheered for Italy's reversal, and in the end, Italy was defeated and Argentina advanced to the final.

So what kind of choice will the fans of Paris choose between their former heroes and their own country when they return to Paris this time?
