Chapter 27: The 10 Minutes That Decided Fate (1)
The hero, who had just been lamenting Vicente's beautiful long-range shot, suddenly heard Benitez calling his name, and he turned his head away.
"Get ready to play!"
Then, he didn't hear what Benitez said, and the whole person froze in place for a while, replaying the sentence in his head.
Ready to play?
Ready to play?!!
Yes, it's ready to play!!
Although he has been preparing for this moment, it does not mean that the hero is really mentally prepared for this.
A feeling of being knocked out by a pie falling from the sky made his brain dizzy for a while. I'm going to play, I'm going to play
When this moment really came, his mind was full of incredible illusions.
"Hey, Kung Fu kid, Mr. is calling you."
Looking at the hero's somewhat dumbfounded eyes, Pellegrino on the side couldn't help but feel a little funny. He hurriedly called out the hero, because Benitez, who was already a little angry because of the game, was already on fire at this time.
The hero who was woken up immediately noticed the embarrassing scene at the scene, and after showing a grateful smile to the Argentine veteran, he quickly responded, got up and took off his tracksuit jacket.
Under the leadership of assistant coach Bernard, the warm-up before going on the field began.
At this time, Sosa also noticed the movement on the Valencia bench on the sidelines, and said in surprise: "Huh? Benitez is going to let this 18-year-old Chinese teenager play, is he confused?! Or am I dazzled?! ”
Saying that, he hurriedly found a page that he had specially looked for before the game in a large number of materials, and after a quick glance, he continued to speak: "183 cm tall, 18 years old, Hero God, does Benitez really expect this rookie to become a hero of Valencia?" He's just called Hero, but he's not really a hero! Doesn't he have anyone else to swap?! ”
As Sousa continued to comment in surprise, the hero on the sidelines had already completed a simple warm-up and came to Benitez, ready to accept his tactical set-up.
"Boy, do you remember that nasty Inácio across the street? Do you remember what you said to me?! Benitez reached out and grabbed the lazy pig hero's shoulder, and then said loudly in a hoarse voice.
At this time, Benitez's appearance is very different from the hero's impression, without the composure of the literati, he is sweating profusely, and his face is red with excitement, especially those eyes, behind the spectacle lenses, those eyes are no longer wise and calm, and against the backdrop of a small trace of blood, there is a gambler-like madness! Hysterical madness!!
At this moment, the strong desire to win in his heart triumphed over his rational posture, and although Benitez's image at this time was no longer chic, he became like a mountain king.
But the hero suddenly felt that this is the real side of Benitez, this is the coach Benitez, and Benitez may be more charming!
Although Benitez did not say the next words, the hero already knew what he meant.
He's going to score! He wants to win!! He's going to let him get it back! Take it back!! Snatch it back!!
For a time, the impulse to die for his confidant, the excitement and joy of completing his debut, were entangled in the hero's heart, making his heart beat and blood. Let's all start running faster!
"I remember! With a goal, hit him a son of a bitch!! ”
After being affected by Benitez's mental state, the hero also showed a look of excitement and murder, and returned to the Tao with full gangsterism.
"Good! Very good!! Remember your words, you only have one mission up there, and that's that damn football, send me through the other side's door! Go, boy, and let them get to know you again! Don't let me down!! ”
"Yes, head!" The hero replied confidently, as if he were about to prove a tactic.
At this moment, the cameras on the scene also began to focus on the heroes and Benitez on the sidelines, and this image began to appear on the big screen and broadcast video screen of the scene.
At this moment, everyone knew that this immature Chinese was about to appear, with Benitez's high hopes and responsibilities.
"Look, look, it's a hero. Our precious son is about to play! Hua Wanli suddenly screamed, her eyes had not been taken off the video screen since she missed the scene before the opening, even though she didn't like football at all and couldn't understand football games.
"Good boy! Son, come on!! Father Ying clenched his fists excitedly, and his eyes, which had always been insulated from tears, couldn't help but be covered with a thin layer of moisture.
Although the hero doesn't say it, as a parent, how can he not feel what his son's love is, and he doesn't suffer hardship. No matter how strong he is, his heart is always soft for heroes, but he doesn't come out.
He saw that Hua Wanli on the side had begun to wipe her tears, and suddenly swallowed back the moisture that had just come out, and comforted: "What are you crying for, my son is going to play, this is a good thing." ”
This is his duty as a man, and it is the only thing he can do for his son, to guard this family so that he does not have any worries.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!
At the same time, Lili in the stands on the second floor of the scene couldn't help but be excited, covering her cherry mouth, and a pitiful autumn water had already appeared in her big watery eyes.
In addition to the hero's parents, perhaps she is the one in the world who knows best how much effort and sweat the hero has put into this.
Ruud, who was also in the stands, saw this scene and couldn't help but clench his hands hidden in the pockets of his clothes, and at this time he looked at the hero's eyes as if he was looking at the last chip left on the table.
On the sidelines, Inácio, who was right next to Benitez and the hero, once again wondered about the hero's identity, and now the familiar feeling in his heart became stronger after watching it up close.
But as before, he didn't think about it.
"An 18-year-old Asian American, Benitez was dazed. It seems that we have won this point today! He said triumphantly in his heart.
In addition to these people, the Valencia fans in the stands have a slightly more complicated attitude towards the hero. Traditionally, they should welcome the hero, Valencia's new member, with cheers and applause, but they didn't have that in mind.
This is not discrimination against the color of the hero's skin, but out of instinctive distrust of the hero, and when they see the hero's skin color and age, they unconsciously have the same thoughts as Sosa.
Even if that were the case, they wouldn't have been able to do so if Valencia had already won by this time. However, Valencia is now facing the dilemma of being held to a draw by the promoted team in the first game of the new season, and the regular time left in the game is less than 10 minutes.
In such a situation, when they see the hero, they will inevitably feel a sense of depression and dissatisfaction when they meet their pig teammates.
Therefore, when the hero took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to replace the central defender Marchena, the Mestalla stadium was a little strangely silent.
"Oh, and we can see that the Valencia fans didn't seem friendly to the young player's debut, and the scene was a little too quiet." The sharp-eyed Sosa then said.
'Of course, you can't blame Valencia given the predicament they are in at the moment. Good luck to this lad! Playing in a game like this is simply the hardest test for a player like him. Hopefully, it won't hit his confidence after the game. Alonso, who was on the sidelines, added that he was sympathetic to the hero, but he was also not optimistic.
"Valencia substitutions, No. 5 Marchena, No. 29 Hero." Shouting on the live radio at the Mestalla Stadium.
Standing on the sidelines, the hero tucked the hem of his white jersey into his black pants and tidied it up casually. At this time, his mind was not on this at all, and all his attention was on calming his too excited mood at this time.
When he was in La Masia, he didn't play less, and he knew how much trouble he would bring to himself in the game because of his emotional state at this time.
The muscles are stiff and the force is too strong, and the hero doesn't want to make such a vendetta on his debut.
Fortunately, it was he who was taking a deep breath and was so focused that he didn't notice the anomaly of the Valencia fans. That's a good thing, otherwise it might affect his mood for the game.
"Do well, kung fu boy, and beat them down." Marchena whispered in his ear as he hugged the hero on the sidelines.
The hero nodded desperately, his chest rising and falling violently at this moment, and although he had tried very hard to calm his feelings, the excitement was still like a wild horse, about to break away from the control, and then jumped out of his chest.
As soon as he bent down and lowered his right hand on the turf, his right foot suddenly kicked with force, and the whole person rushed into the field quickly and lightly like a fierce young horse.
At the same time, the tips of his right fingers enjoyed the thrill of quickly skimming the delicate turf. It's a habit of him when he comes on the pitch, and every time he does it, it makes him feel like he's breathing with the court.
At this time, the hero's feet are powerful, because he is agitated.
At this time, his feet were also weak, and because he was excited.
This is my big scene! This is my debut!!
At this moment, there was such a voice, which was in the wind in his chest, roaring unbridledly.
The big No. 29 on the back of his jersey is shaking in the hunt at this time because of the wind pouring into the collar of his shirt, just like a battle flag!
This is also the most beautiful mark of youth! The most beautiful silhouette!!
