Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 186 A terrifying scream, his leg is broken?

"Zhan Jun, what do you think of that ruling?"

The entire Sydney Olympic Stadium became a sea of ​​jubilation for the Koreans.

Meanwhile, in the commentary booth at the same time, Lao Huang, after watching the replay several times, asked Zhan Jun for his opinion.

"The foul committed by the South Korean team in their own half was indeed very obvious, and given the referee's position and angle of view, it's impossible that he didn't see the foul. So, this decision is definitely questionable!"

"Hey! What do you mean 'worth discussing'? This is just utter nonsense!"
-
[Haha, the microphone got stolen again, Teacher Huang! How many times has this happened now?]
-
[I'm used to it. I heard that Teacher Huang has been punished by CTV for months for swearing and making non-neutral commentary during his live stream, haha!]
-
Ugh, but seriously, those damn Koreans are disgusting, pulling this stunt again!
-
[You'll get used to it, but didn't you guys see? The Koreans are starting to provoke Su Hao, haha!]
-
[Holy crap, I was there! It really is! Those Koreans are booing Su Hao!]
-
[Haha, that's it, that's it. By the way, do the Koreans not watch the Premier League? Don't they know how serious the consequences of booing Su Hao are?]

The South Korean team stole a goal from the start in this way, and Lippi, standing in front of the bench, was naturally furious and protested to the fourth official.

As an Italian, Lippi is well aware of the shamelessness of his opponents.

However, no matter how vehemently Lippi protested, his protests were of no use once the referee had already ruled the goal valid.

"Zhi-ge! You stay back and press the defense, I'll handle the attack!"

"Brother Yu and Brother Hao, you two should push forward more often. I'll pass the ball to you when the opportunity arises!"

"Brother Wu, just keep pushing forward as you see fit. If the ball doesn't get through, it's my fault!"

"No need for support in midfield! I'll handle this myself!"

After being annoyed by the boos from the Koreans, Su Hao called his teammates over and gave them some instructions.

Although Su Hao hasn't worn the captain's armband yet, everyone knows who the real captain of this national team is right now.

Therefore, no one raised any objections. Even Zheng Zhi, the team captain, just nodded and ran back to the backfield to give Feng Xiaoting, who had just made a confused run, a pep talk!

After about two minutes of the Koreans' wild celebration, it ended.

The match restarted amidst a sudden outburst of insults from the fans of both teams in the stands!

As always, Wu Lei passed the ball to Su Hao and quickly rushed into the South Korean team's backfield.

As for Su Hao who received the ball!

Upon seeing Son Heung-min and Lee Jung-hyup both attacking, Su Hao did not pass the ball to Zhao Xuri, who was following up from the side, as he had done before.

Yes, for Su Hao now, getting past two Asian-level strikers is just like playing dribbling around cones in his daily training!
He pulled the ball back with his right foot, turned around and protected it in front of him, and used his body to push away Li Tingxie who was trying to tackle him first. Then, just as Son Heung-min attacked from the side, he twisted his body and used the inside of his right foot to knock the ball hard in the direction of his twist!
Li Tingxie was stunned!
Similarly, Son Heung-min, who was trying to intercept Su Hao from the other side, was also stunned!

They thought they might not have much of a chance to steal the ball from Su Hao's feet, but they really didn't expect that Su Hao would beat them so easily in less than 3 seconds!

Moreover, Su Hao, who had completely bypassed the two players with just one turn, used his right foot to push the ball forward in the instant before the South Korean midfielders could even react!
"pretty!!"

"This is a world-class midfield!"

"Su Hao is incredibly talented!"

"Absolutely perfect rhythm changes!"

"Su Hao!"

"A devastating kick down the middle!"

"It's coming!"

"The Chinese team's counterattack is on!"

A truly dreamlike dribble appeared, and the gloom of conceding a goal vanished instantly.

Moreover, not only did Lao Huang's voice become passionate again, but the Chinese fans in the stands, who had just been arguing with the Korean fans, also regained the same passion they had at the beginning of the game.

Especially after seeing Su Hao use his unparalleled speed and physique to violently knock away the previously arrogant South Korean midfielder Ki Sung-yueng.

The more than 30,000 Chinese fans in the stands jumped up, clenched their fists, and waited with fervent expressions!
"Stop him!"

Su Hao's exaggerated individual attacking ability completely disrupted the South Korean team's mid-lane defense!
Park, the South Korean team manager standing in front of the bench, was so frightened that he shouted at his own players on the field.

The Korean players might have their own opinions about what the head coach is saying, but this is the team leader!
A figure who can determine his future in the South Korean football world.

Upon hearing the team leader's call, South Korean defensive midfielder Park Joo-ho immediately sprinted towards Su Hao.

Based on the information revealed by the team leader before the match, and considering his own team's recent goal, Park Joo-ho, who is very familiar with the traditions of Korean football, naturally knew that as long as he didn't do anything too obvious, the referee would definitely take action.
So, after rushing to Su Hao's vicinity where he was dribbling wildly, Park Joo-ho immediately and without hesitation fell to the ground, revealing his studs, and tackled Su Hao's left ankle.

Everyone knows that Su Hao has a chronic injury to his left leg.

In Park Joo-ho's calculations, if his spikes could touch Su Hao, then the Chinese team's ace would likely be sent off with a yellow card!

Without Su Hao, then the Chinese team
Hey hey hey.
At this moment, Park Joo-ho could even picture himself being hailed as a national hero by the entire nation of South Korea!
However.
What Park Joo-ho didn't know was that Su Hao, who was used to being tackled in the Premier League, noticed his absolutely malicious foul out of the corner of his eye even without turning his head.

Therefore, with full preparation, it was only for the instant that Park Joo-ho's right foot touched Su Hao's left leg.

Su Hao let out a scream and jumped up!
Su Hao collapsed to the ground with a signature scream!

Moreover, this time, when Su Hao fell to the ground, he accidentally and unexpectedly landed his left knee directly on Park Joo-ho's right ankle, which was the one that tackled him!

"Crack!"

A crisp sound, which several people nearby could hear, rang out.

Immediately following was a second scream besides Su Hao's!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Moreover, the second scream was many decibels louder than Su Hao's.

A classic scene from the Asian Cup final has reappeared.

South Korean player Park Joo-ho made a violent tackle on Su Hao, who screamed and fell to the ground, rolling around while Su Hao unintentionally stepped on him. Park Joo-ho, who was also accidentally stepped on by Su Hao, then grabbed his left foot, which was visibly twisted in a bizarre way, and slammed it against the grass!

"Again?"

"Again???"

"The South Korean team has committed another malicious foul!"

"Park Joo-ho was absolutely extremely malicious... um... extremely malicious."

The commentary booth!

When Lao Huang saw the Korean player's reckless tackle on Su Hao, he couldn't help but stand up and shout in protest for Su Hao.

But before he could finish speaking, Lao Huang noticed that the right foot that Park Joo-ho, who had tackled Su Hao, was holding was actually in an S-shape. He immediately understood what was happening and slammed on the brakes.
-
[Holy crap! Is it broken? Or what's going on? Why are my toes wobbling around in the wind?!]
-
[Tsk tsk tsk! This is really broken, it should be a clean break. What kind of body does Su Hao have? He actually broke his own leg with a shovel?]
-
[The slow-motion replay is out. Wow!!! It looks like Su Hao jumped up to dodge Park Joo-ho's tackle and then accidentally kneed Park Joo-ho!]
-
[At 1.93 meters tall, and with that kind of jump and all his weight on one knee, it's no wonder he broke!]
-
[Haha, that feels good! The Koreans tried to steal a chicken but lost their rice instead. They're in big trouble now. Park Joo-ho might have to retire because of that kick, right?]
-
[Hehe, he probably won't retire, but it'll likely be at least a year before he can get back on the court! Haha, the Koreans are going to cry now, one of them broke a leg less than 10 minutes into the game!]

Old Huang in the commentary booth started to dodge the question.

Unsurprisingly, a conflict erupted on the field.

We just had one stolen by the Koreans, and now they're blatantly trying to sabotage their own core player.

Even though they had all witnessed Park Joo-ho's miserable state, the seasoned Zheng Zhi still led Zhao Xuri and others to surround the referee.

As for the South Korean team members...
At this moment, they were all somewhat bewildered.

Especially players like Son Heung-min who play in the top five European leagues. Looking at Park Joo-ho's right foot, which is basically out of the picture, they suddenly began to feel a sense of fear.

Yes!

Their abilities are the same as Park Joo-ho's.

They will keep a close watch on Su Hao at all costs, and if necessary, they can use methods that conform to Korean tradition to force Su Hao to leave the field early.

But the problem is...
The cost of doing this seems a bit too high!

While the team leader's duties and the Asian Cup are certainly important, it seems like sacrificing them for his entire future career is really not worth it!

Besides, military service isn't only exempted for the Asian Cup. Even if Su Hao definitely doesn't care about the Asian Games, they can still give it their all!

There was no intense conflict.

Poor Park Joo-ho was carried off on a stretcher amidst screams of agony.

What made it even more painful for all South Korean fans was that it was clearly the Chinese player Su who deliberately broke Park Joo-ho's right foot with his knee.

But when Park Joo-ho left the court, Su, the Chinese coach, pretended to limp over to Park Joo-ho's side, held Park Joo-ho's right hand, and patted Park Joo-ho's head to comfort the still crying Park Joo-ho.

"Clap clap clap clap!"

This is absolutely one of the most heartwarming and tender moments ever seen on a football field.

The neutral fans and Chinese fans in the stands naturally gave Su Hao a friendly round of applause.

Furthermore, Su Hao refused the referee's offer and insisted on taking the free kick himself, which was not too far from the South Korean goal.

This dedication to football and sense of responsibility towards the national team once again moved all the Chinese fans in the stadium.

"Su Hao!"

"Su Hao!"

"Su Hao!!!"

The Sydney Olympic Stadium erupted in cheers.

And it was precisely amidst this frenzied shouting that...

Su Hao first slowly took a few steps back.

After taking a few deep breaths, he started running from the spot and quickly sprinted to the ball.

31 meters from the goal!
Positioned on the right!

Although Su Hao's current free kick rating is still 84.

However, with his footwork power exceeding 90, his free-kick accuracy of 84 is more than enough for him to unleash top-level free kicks!
He forcefully rubbed the ball along the lower right edge of the ball with the inside of his foot, and just as the ball was about to fly out, he suddenly lifted it upwards with the inside of his right foot.

"boom!!!"

A deafening explosion, unique to Su Hao, rang out.

After undergoing a violent transformation, the football rose up from the ground and flew towards the South Korean goal.

South Korea's goal!

South Korean goalkeeper Kim Jin-hyun, who had been trying to lull himself into a false sense of security by constantly telling himself that the Republic of Korea would never fail, was initially extremely worried. However, after seeing the height of Su Hao's free kick, Kim Jin-hyun immediately felt relieved.

For a K-League goalkeeper

This height
However, less than a second after Kim Jin-hyun felt relieved, a scene that left him dumbfounded, as he had rarely seen a top-tier elevator ball in person, unfolded.

Yes!

Su Hao's free kick, which looked like it was going to fly over the crossbar, actually started to drop in a terrifying way after it cleared the wall!
That speed of falling
Kim Jin-hyun instinctively tried to lunge towards the ball, but his skill level was too limited, and he didn't even have time to move his feet before watching helplessly as the ball flew past his left side and slammed into the net.

"Beep!!!"

The referee blew his whistle and pointed to the center circle with both hands, indicating that the goal was valid!
"pretty!!!"

"pretty!!!"

"pretty!!!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"1:1!"

"An absolutely unstoppable super knuckleball!"

"The most outrageous and exhilarating super knuckleball in the Asian Cup!"

"Su Hao!!!"

"He unleashed a stunning, incredible free-kick from a full 31 meters away from the South Korean goal!"

"Su Hao!"

"It's still Su Hao!"

"After the South Koreans stole a goal in an unethical manner, Su Hao equalized the score in less than five minutes!"

"1:1!"

"The two teams are back to square one!"

On the commentary panel!

The moment Su Hao's super knuckleball shot went into the goal, Lao Huang, who had been holding back for a long time, immediately roared like a madman.

Meanwhile, at the Sydney Olympic Stadium at the same time!

The 30,000 Chinese fans, who had been clenching their fists, erupted in jubilation the moment the whistle blew to confirm the goal!
Countless frenzied red flags surged across the stands like an ocean current.

As for Su Hao, who helped the Chinese team tie the score at this moment?
He made no gesture of celebration.

He simply stood there without any emotion, under the countless cameras pointed at him.

Su Hao slowly extended his right hand and raised his index finger!

That movement.
It's clearly telling everyone!

Tell those Koreans in the stands who were just booing, giving the middle finger, and hurling insults!
"See that? This is the first one!!!"

P.S.: These are turbulent times, please forgive me. I typed this on my phone, so please point out any mistakes!
