797, the shadow of that man

July 11th.

St. Petersburg again.

St. Petersburg's darling Chen Yingying was still cheered by the crowd this time, but he knew he couldn't be the real master of the game.

He shares his hunch of Egypt's last-ditch striker Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool winger who is now facing the biggest challenge of his career.

Challenges are often opportunities.

If Salah leads the team to beat China in this much-anticipated World Cup semi-final, then ...... Can he be officially made a god? When he returns to Liverpool, will he become the real king of Anfield?!

But...... Salah had never thought of it that way, not even for a second!

After two seasons at Liverpool and two and a half years at Lonsert's side (plus half a year in Milan), he knows better than anyone that if there is one man in football who is invincible, that man must be his club team-mate!

As the players shook hands, Salah heard Ronshette's encouragement:

"Momo, let's fight with all our might!"

He grinned, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile:

"I'll do my best, Dragon, you won't be disappointed!"

Long Shute patted him on the shoulder:

"What about you...... Will be disappointed. ”

"The players of both sides have entered and the captains of both teams are walking towards the referee team......"

CCTV's commentator He Wei glanced at the information in his hand:

"Egypt captain is 45-year-old goalkeeper Al Hadari, the oldest player to make an official appearance in the history of the World Cup and will also be the oldest goalkeeper to score the goal by Lonjut, let's wish him the best of luck......"

Hadari, who was named by him, looked like he was at home, trying to make his expression look normal.

Then he saw the red No. 8 on the other side and smiled and stretched out his right hand, and said:

"Let's play at 100%!"

Hadari suddenly took a step back uncontrollably, and his calves couldn't even help but tremble!

What is 100% strength?

Is it the strength of the 12 goals in the last game?

Lao Tzu is 15 years older than Colombian goalkeeper Ospina, are you sure you want to bully me like this?

Krom Liu, who was standing in the bench area, took a picture of Long Shute's back and posted it on various personal platforms.

The reason why it is a "variety of platforms" is because he has to take care of different fans at home and abroad, not to mention that some words will be inexplicably 404 in China......

Below the photo, Krom describes the back as follows:

"World Cup semi-finals, time is running out for him......"

Immediately, some netizens replied:

"Is there not enough time to pretend to be forced?"

Chrom scolded angrily:

"Is it illegal to pretend to be coerced?"

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

"Boom la la ......"

A 45-year-old goalkeeper, even if he maintains his form, he is already 45 years old.

Al Hadary is indeed one of the best goalkeepers in the history of Egyptian football, but at the age of 45, all his physical functions, especially his bounce and reflexes, have dropped much from his peak, and such a goalkeeper stands in front of the goal, facing Lonshit, who claims to score a goal in 14 minutes...... What the consequences will be, you can naturally imagine!

Long-range bursts, anti-offside shots, shots from outside the box, small-angle shots......

It only took 23 minutes for Lonshit to score his third goal in the semi-finals of the World Cup!

Al Shivina, the second national goalkeeper who was sitting on the bench, shuddered, and said something in his heart:

"Let you take my place, let you take my place......"

In his playing years, Šiwicker had already secured the position of the main goalkeeper, but an unexpected injury in the qualifying stage gave the old captain the opportunity to re-enter the national team, and since then he has become the starting goalkeeper again...... That's probably not very human.

Even if it is Buffon's substitute, it is impossible to be willing to sit on the cold bench for more than ten years!

Of course, in the national team, you don't have the option to transfer......

Egypt did not sit still, as they were ranked 43rd in FIFA and second in Africa, they showed a tenacious fighting spirit.

Mohamed Salah stepped up in the 33rd minute to score a brilliant goal:

Pharaoh instantly broke down the back line composed of Wang Zhen and Xiang Tao with an indomitable momentum during a counterattack, and then calmly and angrily completed a catapult with the outside instep of his left foot!

The outside instep shot is the most uncommon way to shoot, and the goalkeeper of the Chinese team, Chu Jiang, forgot to hang in a hurry, and could only let the Egyptian thigh hole through his ten fingers!

The goal was beautiful and morale-boosting, but Salah's mood was still heavy.

Because before he scored, Long Shute had already completed the achievement of Sixi Maruko!

Now the score is 4-1!

The Egyptian team is still in a quagmire!

Conceding a goal can be sobering and infuriating.

The sober and angry Chu Jiang is not easy to mess with, only 5 minutes later, he used a long pass with a big foot in the back of more than 80 meters, accurately found Chen Yingying in front of the Egyptian penalty area, and directly assisted him to complete the header shot!

5-1!

The Egyptian team is already in a desperate situation!

Is the Egyptian team strong?

It's not strong.

Although they are now ranked second in Africa, you must know that the last time they reached the World Cup was 28 years ago in 1990, even older than the Chinese team......

Before 1990, the only time they participated in the World Cup was in 1934, when their country was still a monarchy, and their "Qing Dynasty" had not yet died......

A few years ago, in Egypt, if it was placed in front of the Chinese team without Long Shute, Chu Zhongtian, Qin Gude and others, the Chinese team would not feel too much pressure, and most Chinese fans did not even know what strength this team had.

It's just that in the past two or three years, with Cooper's coaching and Salah's maturity, the whole team has suddenly risen rapidly from the trough, and in 2017 they won the runner-up in the Africa Cup of Nations, and then advanced to the World Cup after 28 years, Salah and Cooper have become heroes of the whole country without accident.

Now that they are in the last four, they have exceeded the expectations of 100 million Egyptians, and no one will blame them for losing here.

After all...... Their opponents, not people!

"The game is about to enter the final stoppage time, the score is still a shocking 10-1, and there is not much time left for the Egyptian team."

He Wei said lightly:

"Long Shute, who scored four goals in each half, was replaced by Qin Xiong in the 82nd minute, and before that, he received a collective standing and ovation from the fans......

He was about to find a few more words of chicken soup for the soul to give to the tenacious Egyptian team, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, he involuntarily changed his tone:

Salah hasn't given up yet, he single-handedly rushed to the back of the Chinese team...... Li Huan didn't return to the defense in time, and Salah burst into the penalty area! Xiang Tao flying shovel! Shaken by his feints! Salah straight to his feet! Chu Jiang flew to the rescue! Didn't touch it! Egypt scored another goal! Tenacious Salah! The score was rewritten by him again! ”

After scoring twice in the semi-finals of the World Cup, 99.9999999% of the players on the planet have not been able to accomplish this achievement.

But instead of showing a hint of joy, Salah lowered his furry head.

He retrieved the ball from the net, turned and quickly returned to the center circle.

But seconds later, three shrill whistles rang out in the stadium:

"Drip, drip, drip!"

Salah threw his head back and exhaled.

A red back could be seen in the white mist.

He shook his head, and his body suddenly felt extremely tired.

It was the most difficult game he's played in almost two years!

He lost.

But he's done his best!

He is the only player in this World Cup who can attack the door of the Chinese team twice!
