Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 89 (Three-in-One): Manchester City is also stirring things up? The battle for the top transfer fee has been locked in ahead of time!
February 23, 2013, 4:12 PM.

Rabat International Airport, the capital of Morocco.

When the Bayern Munich stars, all dressed in red, appeared at the crowded arrival gate.

Countless Bayern Munich fans who had been waiting for a long time immediately filled the entire airport terminal with their screams!
Bayern Munich in 2013 was invincible.

Moreover, after achieving the treble, Bayern Munich brought in Pep Guardiola, the Barcelona legend who had created the sextuple.

With the epic synergy of this powerful alliance, Bayern Munich's momentum even surpassed that of the two Spanish giants for a time.

In the past sixteen rounds of the Bundesliga.

In these sixteen rounds of matches, Guardiola achieved an astonishing sixteen-game winning streak to start the league season.

Not only did they have a stellar run in the league, but they also dominated the Champions League group stage with a record of 5 wins and 1 loss.

Such a formidable record is naturally due to Guardiola's dream-like transformation of the already powerful Bayern Munich.

4-1-4-1.

This is the change Guardiola brought to Bayern Munich.

He abandoned the double defensive midfield system of the Heynckes era and moved Lahm from the right-back position to the defensive midfield position. This adjustment allowed full-backs Alaba and Rafinha to frequently push forward to participate in the attack, forming a brand-new "4-1-4-1" attacking formation.

Moreover, with the Robben-Ribery duo moving back in position, the impact zone of these two top supercars expanded to the point that countless teams were on the verge of collapse.

Their unbeatable record, coupled with the complete transformation of their playing style.

Guardiola, who appeared at the airport at this moment, naturally had a relaxed smile on his face.

And the Club World Cup?

Having never heard of any of the teams before, Guardiola naturally felt that his trip to Rabat was an early start to his vacation.

"Yes, after the Club World Cup, we will disband the team so that the players can have a wonderful holiday!"

"Guangzhou Evergrande? Hmm, I know that team, and I also know that Chinese player you mentioned. I've seen the information the club sent me about him; he's outstanding!"

"Winter break player recruitment plans?"

"Haha, you know that, the winter break hasn't started yet, has it?"

In high spirits, Guardiola even chatted a few more words with the reporters waiting at the airport.

Moreover, perhaps because he was genuinely in a good mood, Guardiola even answered a question from a domestic reporter about Su Hao.

Although it is common knowledge among the general public that, having seen so many world-class superstars like Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta, their statement that someone is "very good" is probably just a polite remark.

But when these words reached the hands of reporters, they were naturally amplified countless times!
Guardiola and Bayern Munich make a surprise visit to Rabat, praising Su Hao and stating that their trip to Rabat was specifically to scout him!

Su Hao's move to Bayern Munich is officially in its final countdown; Guardiola praises Su Hao!

《拜仁全新4-1-4-1的未来核心，16岁苏浩已成瓜帅冬窗最期待引援！》

"."

Reporters launched a feast of headlines, each more extravagant than the last.

And that afternoon.

Su Hao, who was resting on his hotel bed after finishing training, was suddenly called out by Zheng Zhi next to him.

then
Holding his phone, Su Hao was speechless after seeing the domestic media suddenly go crazy and publish so many bizarre headlines.

this.
Isn't this just digging my own grave?

Guardiola was just being polite!

Su Hao believed that even if the reporter had asked Gua Tu about Nanbo Seven back then, Gua Tu would probably have gone along with the reporter and said something like "very outstanding"!

After all, Su Hao thought that Guardiola, a guy who only had Messi in his eyes his whole life, was extremely outstanding—he was a real person!
However, what Su Hao didn't know was...

This time, he was wrong.

Guardiola did indeed read the information about him that Bayern Munich provided him.

With talent overflowing from the screen, how could Guardiola, with his keen eye, not see it?

Moreover, Guardiola only said "very outstanding" because Su Hao is now his rival, so he held back.

If Guardiola is asked to tell the truth!

So now, Su Hao is even seen by Guardiola as a perfect fit to join Bayern Munich's first-string squad!

Unfortunately, Guardiola's current 4-1-4-1 formation for Bayern Munich is a perfect complement to Schweinsteiger, who serves as the midfield pivot.
Of course, Guardiola's "supplement" refers to making Schweinsteiger the first substitute, since Schweinsteiger is still at his peak.

"Hey, isn't this the young Chinese player that Guardiola praised so highly?"

"Brother Sheng, do you have a death wish?!"

dinner time.

Although Su Hao knew all along that his mischievous buddies would definitely bring up this stupid news from China as a source of amusement during dinner.

But Su Hao didn't expect that Qin Sheng, that old man, couldn't even wait for the meal to start and couldn't wait any longer, so he started eating right at the elevator entrance!
"Haha, but seriously, to be praised as very good by Guardiola, this is probably the first time an Asian player has done so!"

"Wow! It really seems to be true. In my impression, Guardiola doesn't usually comment on people. For Guardiola to review the information and still give it a very high rating, it seems that Su Hao really has a chance to join Guardiola's Bayern Munich team!"

"Hey! Screw Bayern! If Xiao Hao goes to Bayern now, wouldn't he just be a substitute? Bayern's current midfield trio of Lahm, Schweinsteiger, and Kroos—aren't all three world-class players!"

"That's true. If Xiao Hao goes to Bayern, he'll only be a substitute. I think going to Arsenal is the best option!"

"."

"Actually, I think going to Manchester City now would be a good option. They have tons of money!"

"Why is all you can think about is money! If it were for money, and Xiao Hao stayed at Evergrande, it wouldn't be impossible for our CEO Xu to give Su Hao an unprecedented world record salary!"

"Holy crap! It actually seems quite possible. The world's highest-paid player comes from China's Evergrande Football Club. Just the news value alone makes me think Mr. Xu might want to take a gamble!"

Got it!
Domestic fans are constantly speculating or suggesting which team Su Hao should join.

Su Hao really didn't expect that his teammates would be such gossipy people.
During the half-hour dinner break, these idiots chattered and made noise for half an hour.

The conversation only calmed down after dinner when Lippi called him to the tactical analysis room.

Three days passed quickly.

2013 12 Month 16 Day.

Amidst the anticipation of countless fans, the clash between Guangzhou Evergrande and Bayern Munich, a top-tier club match between Asia and Europe, has finally arrived.

It was 7 p.m. that evening.

Buses carrying players from Guangzhou Evergrande and Bayern Munich appeared one after another in the internal passageway of the Adila Stadium.

However, unlike in China, because this Club World Cup is being held in Africa, the number of Guangzhou Evergrande fans who came to the Adila Stadium can only be described as...so small.

But it's different for Bayern Munich.

This includes ordinary local fans.

Almost 90% of the jerseys at the stadium belonged to Bayern Munich, the South Giants.

And so, amidst the cheers of countless Bayern fans, the team bus slowly drove into the Adila Stadium.

As soon as the bus stopped, Lippi got off first and rushed to the pre-match press conference!
"Mr. Lippi is one of the best coaches in the world. When I was still a player, he had already led his team to win the World Cup!"

"Shortcutt is amazing, he won six titles! My God, in our time, a triple crown was already incredible, nobody ever imagined any team could win six titles in one season!"

"Mr. Lippi's coaching philosophy has always been..."

"Guardiola's tactical improvements were a revolutionary change in world football tactics."

The scene from the pre-match press conference!
When the world's top young coach Guardiola met the world's best coach, Marcello Lippi.

There was none of the explosive, clash-like excitement that the reporters had hoped for.

Like two old friends who admire each other, the harmony of the whole scene made it feel less like a formal Club World Cup semi-final.

“I’ve discussed with Ferguson what makes Guardiola successful. He said it’s about removing the traditional center forward from the football concept and instilling it into the Spanish national team. But I think that’s not the case. Guardiola refined, perfected, and systematized the traditional Spanish possession-based football. It’s not about abandoning the center forward, but about changing the function of the center forward.”

When he got excited, the old man even revealed his private discussions with Ferguson about Guardiola.

Lippi has been praising Guardiola to the skies.

Guardiola, of course, didn't remain silent either.

Claims that Lippi is the most representative living fossil of Italian football's glory, and that he is the founder of practical defensive counter-attacking tactics!
The press conference has ended.

After a long and reluctant farewell, the two returned to their respective locker rooms.

On Guardiola's side.

Because his opponent is Marcello Lippi, even deep down, Guardiola doesn't think that Guangzhou Evergrande or anyone else poses any threat to his Bayern Munich.

However, as soon as Guagua returned to the locker room, he repeated to his teammates the points they needed to pay attention to in this game, which he had already mentioned several times in the past few days.

"That number 28! He's Guangzhou Evergrande's offensive and defensive converter; pay special attention to his long passes!"

“Bastian! Remember, I want you to expand your defensive coverage as much as possible. I don’t want to see that guy make any threatening passes during the game.”

"And then there's Muriqui on the wing."

Guardiola patiently explained.

However, the Bayern stars sitting around him felt that their coach was taking the other team too seriously.

There's no way around it. As Champions League winners who even managed to thrash Barcelona, ​​these German national team players genuinely feel that a club from Asia, especially China, is simply not even up to the level of their own reserve team.

Against a team like this, it might not take more than half an hour to completely secure the victory or even crush the opponent!

In the Bayern Munich locker room, Guardiola was making his final preparations.

Meanwhile, in the away team's locker room not far away.

After anticipating the entire season, Marcello Lippi, for the first time, seriously assigned tasks to each of Guangzhou Evergrande's players.

Yes!

From Zeng Cheng to Gao Lin!

The old man assigned defensive tasks to each of the 11 players in Evergrande's starting lineup.

What kind of quick three-man flank attack was used to defend against Bayern's two wild wingers?

What about midfield pressing and zonal joint defense?
In short, the old man used all the Italian-style defensive tactics he had learned in his life, and even some less-than-honorable unorthodox methods.

Even so, the old man felt that the possibility of Evergrande overcoming a Mount Everest like Bayern Munich was still extremely slim.
But now that things have come to this, shouldn't we at least let our group of disciples, who are the weakest in history, fully enjoy the world-class stage of the Club World Cup?

That's all I wanted to say!

"children!"

"This match may be the most lopsided official match you've ever faced in your lives!"

"But isn't this precisely what a professional player should pursue and cherish?"

"I believe that as long as you give it your all, this match will be one of the most unforgettable and precious memories of your lives!"

"I believe that as long as you do your best, then..."

The old man didn't really like anything like a "chicken blood" meal.

But unprecedentedly, in Morocco!
In front of his worst disciples at Evergrande!

He roared.

He bulged his veins, which hadn't swelled in years, and with the loudest voice he could muster, he made every Evergrande player's breathing quicken!
"Zhuang Dian'er Tai!"

"Zhuang Dian'er Tai!!!"

"This is a live broadcast of the 2013 FIFA Club World Cup semi-final!"

Guangzhou Evergrande vs. Bayern Munich!

"The players from both teams are already standing in their respective halves of the field!"

"The referee is checking his watch too!"

"Beep!!!"

"With the referee's whistle!"

"The competition has officially begun!"

"First, let's look at the starting lineups for both sides!"

"Zeng Cheng, the starting goalkeeper for Guangzhou Evergrande, wearing the traditional yellow jersey and attacking from left to right!"

"."

"Facing Bayern Munich, the Champions League winners whose strength far surpasses their own, Lippi still fielded Guangzhou Evergrande's most familiar 4-2-3-1 formation!"

"On the other side, Bayern Munich's starting goalkeeper, Neuer, is attacking from right to left in his traditional red jersey!"

"Defenders: Alaba, Boateng, Van Buyten, Rafinha!"

"Single defensive midfielder: Lahm!"

"Two central midfielders: Kroos and Schweinsteiger partner up!"

"Left winger: Ribery, Right winger: Robben!"

"Lone striker: Mandzukic!"

"It's still the 4-1-4-1 formation that Guardiola has been sticking to since the start of this Bundesliga season!"

At Adila Stadium.

As soon as the referee blew his whistle, Bayern Munich, who had gained possession first, launched a full-scale attack on Guangzhou Evergrande without any hesitation, amidst the frenzied cheers of more than 30,000 fans in the stadium.

As for Evergrande...

The old man had already devised a defensive counter-attack strategy involving a full retreat.

Therefore, in terms of the game, Evergrande was almost completely pinned back in their own penalty area by the powerful Bayern Munich from the very beginning.

Toni Kroos, the core of Bayern Munich's attack, slowly dribbled the ball towards Guangzhou Evergrande's territory.

Gao Lin immediately rushed to grab the ball.

Before Gao Lin could even get close to Kroos, Kroos, dribbling the ball, had already passed it across to Lahm, who was following up behind.

There was nothing to drag on.

Lahm, who switched from full-back to defensive midfield this season, immediately raised his right leg and kicked the ball away the moment Kroos passed it to him.

Transit point!
Lahm connects directly with Ribery!
This is one of Bayern's most frequently used and most proficient attacking methods.

Evergrande's left flank.

Robben quickly reached the landing point, deftly controlled the ball with his right foot, and beat Rong Hao to it.

According to the defensive strategy that Lippi had formulated before the match.

If either Ribery or the other player receives the ball, Guangzhou Evergrande must ensure that two or more players double-team them.

Therefore, Muriqui, unlike in the past, sprinted directly to Rong Hao and the two of them faced Robben together.

However, Evergrande has a firm grasp on double-teaming tactics when dealing with Asian teams.

But now, Muriqui and Rong Hao are facing the world's most terrifying nightmare of wing defenders – Arjen Robben in his prime.

Without hesitation, amidst the loud shouts of more than 30,000 fans in the stands, they...

Robben flicked the ball towards the sideline with his left foot, then stomped off the turf and started moving from the spot before Rong Hao could kick it!
It's just a simple flick to accelerate the ball.

Robben then cleanly and decisively passed Rong Hao!

"Oh my! This...this is Robben!"

"There are no complicated feints, it's just a series of accelerations!"

"This is how it went."

"Robben!"

"Very fast!"

"Fortunately, Muriqui kept up. If we're talking about speed alone, Muriqui really isn't afraid of Robben!"

On the field, just as Huang Jianxiang said.

Although Rong Hao was completely outmaneuvered by Robben in the first encounter, Muriqui, the double insurance on the flanks arranged by the old man, kept up with Robben's pace.

only!

Before Huang Jianxiang could finish speaking, Robben, who was still speeding along, made a sudden stop and cut inside, leaving the cheetah behind almost instantly.

Moreover, after cutting inside and shaking off the cheetah.

Robben raised his left leg high almost instantly before the Guangzhou Evergrande defenders could form a second defensive formation.

Cut inside and unleash a powerful shot!

"Danger is imminent!!!"

When Lao Huang in the commentary booth saw Robben preparing to shoot directly, he immediately exclaimed in surprise.

However, just as the thousand or so Evergrande fans in the stands were all on tenterhooks with Lao Huang's exclamation,

Su Hao, Evergrande's most reliable defensive cornerstone in the middle, had already arrived in front of Robben.

By raising his long leg, Su Hao timely blocked Robben's inside cut.

"Thank goodness Su Hao arrived in time!"

"Including the previous friendly match between China and the Netherlands, this is the second time Su Hao has faced Robben!"

Su Hao blocked Robben's powerful shot after cutting inside, but that was all he did; he only blocked Robben's shot.

Seeing that he couldn't shoot, Robben quickly pulled back his left leg and changed his shot to a deflection.

With this lateral movement, Robben dodged Su Hao's second attempt to intercept.

However, just as Robben confidently prepared to attack the goal again after dodging Su Hao for the second time.

To Robben's surprise, the tall Chinese national team player stretched out his long legs for the third time.

This surprised Robben a bit.

Normally, for a defensive player of Su Hao's physique, agility has always been their fatal weakness, but this Chinese player is different.

Despite having a huge defensive area, this guy also has such high agility.

This is a bit of an exaggeration!
After being intercepted three times in a row, Robben knew that if he continued dribbling like this, there was only one possibility: losing the ball.

Left with no other option, Robben had to pass the ball diagonally.

However, compared to the restrictions Su Hao placed on me!

Middle lane!

Schweinsteiger, who followed up, easily used his entire body to shove aside Zheng Zhi, who came to help defend, and then unleashed a powerful shot!

The football soared into the air and hurtled towards the goal guarded by Zeng Cheng!

"Schweinsteiger!"

"Danger!!!"

"A powerful shot!"

Huang Jianxiang shouted.

Meanwhile, all the fans in the stands of the Adila Stadium turned their attention to Guangzhou Evergrande's goal amidst the roar of Schweinsteiger's powerful shot.

"Bang!!!"

Another crisp impact sound rang out.

Guangzhou Evergrande fans breathed a sigh of relief, while Bayern Munich fans sighed in unison.

"The crossbeam has done a great job!"

"Schweinsteiger's shot was of extremely high quality!"

"Zeng Cheng had already given up, but thankfully the crossbar blocked the ball in the end!"

"The game has only been going on for less than two minutes!"

"The mighty Bayern Munich almost got off to a dream start!"

"Starting with Lahm's long pass, Bayern completed their first attack in less than three passes."

"I have to say, that's the difference!"

They almost scored on their very first attack.

Moreover, this was all under the premise that every player in every position had implemented the defensive strategy set by Coach Lippi before the match.

This kind of completely different level of strength truly brought the Evergrande players, who were still in a state of high excitement after being inspired by Lippi's motivational speech, back to reality.

Not only the other team members, but even Su Hao, who had just barely managed to block Robben's shot, let out a long sigh.

Really!

too fast!
This wasn't the first time he had defended against Robben.

Although we have made ample preparations!
However, Robben's exaggerated footwork frequency is something I can't compete with now.

However, what Su Hao didn't know was that while he was lamenting his lack of strength, Robben, not far away, was also marveling at Su Hao's extraordinary abilities.

At 16 years old, to have such a physique and such defensive ability to face oneself and block one's own shot.

This is already exaggerated enough.

A shot that struck the crossbar marked the official start of this lopsided contest.

In the original timeline of this match, possession: Guangzhou Evergrande 26% vs Bayern Munich 74%; shots: Guangzhou Evergrande 2 vs Bayern Munich 28; passes: Guangzhou Evergrande 267 vs Bayern Munich 814; success rate: 75% vs Bayern Munich 92%.

Bayern Munich completely overwhelmed Guangzhou Evergrande, leaving them with no chance to breathe.

However, thanks to Su Hao, a player with 90 passes, Guangzhou Evergrande is no longer as helpless as before.

even
The 18th minute of the game.

After Bayern Munich pressured Guangzhou Evergrande and unleashed five consecutive threatening shots,

Evergrande finally got a hard-won opportunity to counterattack.

The move to place Ram in the middle and back row remains unchanged.

After getting past Conca, Kroos thought he could play a one-two with Schweinsteiger, who was also making a run forward, and then send the ball to the wing.

However, after Lahm passed the ball to Kroos, Su Hao, relying on his 30-year-old experience, subconsciously moved in the opposite direction towards Schweinsteiger, who was starting to make a run.

That leaning against him gave Su Hao the opportunity to intercept Kroos's pass in advance.

He launched a powerful, high-speed sliding tackle from the spot!
Su Hao intercepted Kroos's diagonal pass in advance by relying on his anticipation.

Cross stared in surprise.

Schweinsteiger, who was also tilting his head and preparing to receive the ball and pass it to Mandzukic, was also visibly taken aback.

of course!

Even Guardiola, the bald guy on the sidelines who had been resting his chin on his hand, was completely bewildered by Su Hao's absolutely conscious positioning and interceptions!

And on the field!

Having made a preemptive interception, Su Hao got up without hesitation and, before Lahm could react and effectively limit him, pushed the ball to Conca, who hadn't been on camera for over ten minutes.

Wow! Beautiful!

"That was a prediction!"

"Evergrande still needs Su Hao!"

"Muriqui on the left wing has started his attack!"

"Su Hao is also following up!"

"Conca received the ball and didn't make a reckless tackle!"

"After Su Hao started his run and dribbled past Lahm, Conca played a diagonal pass, sending the ball back to Su Hao's feet!"

After being pressured for nearly twenty minutes, Guangzhou Evergrande finally launched their first counter-attack into Bayern Munich's half.

With his incredibly long legs, Su Hao quickly entered the heart of Bayern Munich's backfield.

However, it seems that Guardiola on the sidelines really did give his players detailed instructions on how to limit Su Hao before the match.

Just as Su Hao was contemplating whether or not to kick Neuer directly.

Alaba, who was originally on the wing, pounced on Su Hao before Su Hao could even lift his foot.

Moreover, the confident Alaba not only closed in on Su Hao with his speed, but also extended his right foot to try and steal the ball back.

Like Robben, Alaba believes that the frequency of footwork of big players like Su Hao is definitely his biggest weakness.

However, it was precisely this confidence that gave Su Hao, who had originally planned to slow down and wait for his teammates to come forward, an opportunity.

With a light flick of the ankle, a quick poke with the toe.

The football, which Su Hao had already slowed down with his foot, was suddenly propelled forward again by Su Hao's flick.

That jump!
Alaba was embarrassed!

Because his left leg was about to hook the ball at Su Hao's feet, who would have thought that a player of Su Hao's height could complete a second start and stop in such a short time.

It was in that short time difference that the football cleverly slipped between Alaba's legs.

As for Su Hao!

The moment the football flew past Alaba's legs, Su Hao stomped off the turf and, like an arrow released from a bow, swept past him.

"Wow! Beautiful!!!"

"Crotch dribble!"

"Su Hao's kick was absolutely beautiful!"

"It completely wiped out Alaba!!!"

"Bayern Munich's backfield is wide open!"

"Su Hao!!!"

On the commentary panel!

Seeing that Su Hao actually managed to pull off such a move against the South King's super main force, the Arabs.

Old Huang was naturally so excited that he stood up and roared.

And on the field right now!
After crushing Alaba, Su Hao had already charged into the heart of Bayern Munich's backfield.

Without Alaba's interference, Schweinsteiger and the others were still doing their best to catch up.

Moreover, Van Buyten, who was lagging behind, was still making great strides to close the gap.

Between these limits.

Su Hao naturally raised his right leg high without any hesitation.

Under the watchful eyes of all the Bayern players, he swiftly swung the ball towards his feet!

"boom!!!"

A loud bang suddenly echoed through the Adila Stadium, sending chills down the spines of all Bayern Munich fans.

Following the exaggerated explosion, the football at Su Hao's feet instantly transformed into a white streak and hurtled towards Bayern Munich's goal.

In front of Bayern Munich's goal!

The future world's best goalkeeper had already made ample preparations before Su Hao even got past Alaba.

Although Neuer, like other Bayern Munich stars, did not feel that a team like Guangzhou Evergrande posed any threat to him.

However, he was well aware that the number 28 player in the Evergrande squad had a decent long-range shot.

Therefore, Neuer was well-prepared to face Su Hao's long-range shot this time. However...
Even though Neuer was well prepared, he was still taken aback by Su Hao's powerful shot after Su Hao unleashed it.

Yes!

Neuer, who was used to seeing powerful long-range shots in the Bundesliga and even the Champions League, really didn't expect that in China, a country known as a football desert, someone could actually unleash a long-range shot with such ball speed.

And it's not just the ball speed, look at its trajectory...
Neuer then dove with all his might toward the upper left corner where Su Hao had fired.

However.
Even with all his might, Neuer still found it in despair!
I truly am.
"Su Hao!!!"

"Shoot directly at Neuer!!!"

"A powerful and heavy kick."

"Ouch!!!"

"pretty!!!"

"pretty!!!"

"pretty!!!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"Oh my god!!!"

"Oh my god!!!"

"The ball went in!!"

"The ball went in!!"

"Incredible!!!"

"Twentieth minute of the match!"

"Evergrande is in the lead!!!"

"Su Hao!"

"After using an absolutely acrobatic nutmeg to get past Alaba, Su Hao unleashed a stunning long-range shot!"

"Even though Neuer made a desperate dive in front of the goal, he couldn't stop the ball from crossing his own goal line!"

"Blind spot!"

"An absolute theoretical blind spot!!!"

"1:0!!"

"Evergrande is in the lead!"

"Unbelievable! Guangzhou Evergrande has scored the first goal against Bayern Munich!"

"1:0!!!"

Huang Jianxiang, who has been watching Su Hao's matches for a year, has gone mad.

Although he's already the number one Soviet enthusiast in China,
Old Huang really never imagined that Su Hao would one day represent Evergrande and break through the goal of a top club like Bayern Munich in an official match!
And after calculating it this way...
Su Hao can be said to have made history once again.

"A new record for the youngest goal scorer in the Club World Cup has been set!"

"No, not only is he the youngest goal scorer in the Club World Cup, but Su Hao has also become the first Chinese player to score against a world-class powerhouse like Bayern Munich!"

"16 years old!!!"

"16 years old!!! I can't even believe what Su Hao will achieve in the future!"
-
[Holy crap, Su Hao is awesome!!! Su Hao is awesome, he actually scored, and with such an exaggerated powerful shot! Awesome!!!]
-
[Damn, that's incredible! A steal in the backfield, a nutmeg, and then a super powerful shot! Is Su Hao on performance-enhancing drugs? And this is Bayern Munich!]
-
[Awesome! They've actually taken the lead! For the first ten minutes or so, I thought Guangzhou Evergrande was going to get thrashed by Bayern Munich, but not only did they hold on, they've fucking taken the lead! Su Hao is amazing!]
-
[Holy crap, what's going on? This opponent is Bayern Munich! How come Guangzhou Evergrande is still leading, 1-0? Am I dreaming?]
-
[This counter-attack was fucking powerful! Muriqui and Elkeson tied up Bayern's other defenders, and Suarez beat Alaba. That last play, in particular, was absolutely unstoppable!]

The more than 30,000 scattered Bayern Munich fans at the Adila Stadium fell silent.

Meanwhile, in the corner, the mere thousand or so Evergrande fans, just like Lao Huang, began to roar wildly.

As for the Adila Stadium at this moment.

Before Su Hao could even celebrate his powerful shot that blasted open the South King's goal, he was excitedly hugged by Conca beside him.

Following closely behind were Zheng Zhi, Gao Lin who rushed back from the front, Muriqui, Elkeson, and Zhang Linpeng on the wing.

After being dominated like a dead dog for twenty minutes, even the Evergrande players on the field felt that today would probably be a massacre.

But who could have imagined it!
In less than twenty seconds, the plot can change so suddenly and so decisively!
Despite being suppressed and on the verge of collapse, Evergrande has actually taken the lead?
"Haozi's awesome! That was fucking satisfying!"

"Holy crap, Xiao Hao, you're going to be famous again! This is Bayern Munich and Neuer! That was fucking amazing!"

"."

All the Evergrande players rushed to Su Hao's side.

And on the sidelines of the stadium!
In front of the Evergrande bench.

Like the Evergrande players, Lippi was also worried. He seemed to have been rescued and raised his arms in a shout.

Qin Sheng and others on the bench rushed out early and stood beside the old man.

The entire Evergrande team began a wild celebration.

In contrast, look at the Bayern Munich bench.

Seeing Alaba's reckless tackle lead to Su Hao's powerful shot that found the back of the net.

Guardiola's face had already turned black with anger.

Guardiola wasn't worried about the outcome of the match at all.

Guardiola was furious that Alaba hadn't followed his instructions and had chosen a course of action that would pose a significant threat to the defense.

of course
Despite his anger, Su Hao, the young Evergrande player who had already been included in Bayern Munich's winter transfer plans, did indeed reaffirm Guardiola's previous recognition of him after his series of performances.

He possesses an exceptionally strong defensive awareness, exceptional footwork, and that final long-range shot.

This is absolutely a super center bearing specially customized for him by God!
In fact, after this goal, Guardiola believes that Su Hao's future might be much brighter than Schweinsteiger's.

"."

Guardiola is a very decisive person.

Now that he has once again recognized Su Hao's talent and the benefits he has brought to Bayern Munich based on this goal, he no longer needs to consider any other people he is observing.

After pulling his assistant aside and whispering a few words in his ear, Guardiola returned to the game.

We were behind at the start, and our opponents were also playing a defensive game.

This match was definitely more interesting than I had anticipated!
The game starts again.

Falling behind by one goal made the already aggressive Bayern Munich even more frantic.

24th minute of the match!

Ribery on the left wing put on his most breathtaking individual performance of the match so far.

After receiving a cross from Lahm in the middle, Ribery slowly began to advance down the wing towards Guangzhou Evergrande's backfield.

Because they were afraid that Ribery's advance was intended to open up Guangzhou Evergrande's central defense, only Elkeson and Conca rushed forward.

On the offensive end, Elkeson and Conca can indeed put some pressure on Bayern, but on the defensive end...
For Ribery, defending against these two players was simply a matter of getting around two more pillars.

After easily using a change of direction and acceleration to get past the two players, Ribery officially entered Zhang Linpeng's defensive range.

Ribery patiently waited for Zhang Linpeng's center of gravity to shift, taking slow, small steps.

However, after being instilled with a lot of defensive experience by Su Hao during this period, Zhang Linpeng was no longer so foolish as to make the first move.

He was also waiting for Ribery to make the first move.

The two of them continued to slowly wear each other down, eyeing each other warily.

Ribery had no choice but to make the first move when he saw Elkeson rushing over from the backfield again.

He flicked the ball towards the middle with his right foot!
Zhang Linpeng naturally ignored the obvious feint.

However, Ribery's strength lies in his ability to change his stance in an instant. After seeing that Zhang Linpeng did not make a move, Ribery immediately turned his feint into a real one.

Zhang Linpeng had no choice but to follow.

However, Ribery was transformed back from the real Ribery.

And then he spun the ball straight in with his right foot!
that's it!
Amidst a series of real and deceptive changes, Zhang Linpeng was completely shaken and collapsed onto the grass.

Seeing Zhang Linpeng fall to the ground after being completely outmaneuvered, Ribery quickly dribbled into the penalty area.

Feng Xiaoting rushed forward in a panic.

However, Ribery didn't try to take credit for himself; he flicked the ball into the middle with the outside of his right foot!
An inverted triangle!
The ball came to Mandzukic's feet.

The right foot was raised directly.

After waiting for so long, Mandzukic finally slammed his fist into the ball in excitement.

just
To Mandzukic's dismay, just as he struck the ball with his right foot...

The Evergrande number 28, however, once again appeared out of nowhere and fell to the side, blocking the direction of his powerful shot!

With a muffled thud, the football bounced off Su Hao and flew out of bounds.

Evergrande escaped disaster once again!
Mandzukic clutched his head and complained about how he had wasted such a good opportunity.

After helping Su Hao up to make the final save, the entire Evergrande team immediately started bumping chests with him.

The match continued as time slowly passed.

The score remained unchanged at 0:1.

And it was after these dozen or so shots on goal failed to achieve any results.

With a wave of his hand, Guardiola signaled that Alaba and Rafinha would begin to frequently penetrate into Guangzhou Evergrande's backfield.

The match then descended into a brutal siege by Bayern against Guangzhou Evergrande.

Not only did they penetrate through the middle, but Bayern also resorted to the most primitive and easiest way to break through the defensive wall, long balls and crosses, thanks to the presence of Mandzukic as a powerful center forward!

37th minute of the match!

Alaba redeemed himself by using his speed to break through Guangzhou Evergrande's flank defense and delivered an extremely accurate long pass to Mandzukic's head.

After easily bumping into Feng Xiaoting and intending to seize the opportunity, Mandzukic was somewhat annoyed to find that there was another figure in front of him who jumped much higher than himself.

Not only did he jump higher than him, but after making contact with him, Mandzukic was even more desperate to find that he couldn't even outrun this damn number 28.

Bayern's attack was thwarted once again.

And this time!
It still comes down to Su Hao's crucial positioning and his formidable heading ability.

The match between Guangzhou Evergrande and Bayern Munich continued on the field.

Meanwhile, the owners and scouts in the VIP stands were enthusiastically discussing with their staff the practical value of Su Hao's performance.

And believe it or not, in just under forty minutes...

These professionals from various top clubs have already labeled Su Hao, this 16-year-old player, with many potential growth attributes.

Offensively: [Accurate passing, especially long passes. When positioned as a defensive midfielder, he can deliver lethal long passes to the attacking players like Pirlo!] - Development Direction - Pirlo.

[Extremely strong in physical duels: When in the same position as Schweinsteiger, he possesses a significantly greater impact and a much larger area of ​​ball control, capable of matching or even surpassing Schweinsteiger!] Development path - Vieira or Yaya Toure?
[Strong Long-Range Shooting Ability: Possesses strong long-range shooting ability, and with at least 6 more years of growth potential at age 16, future long-range shooting ability is expected to reach SSS level.] Growth Direction -- Essien? Gerrard?

It's amazing!
It was clearly a formal Club World Cup semi-final, with both sides on the verge of a fierce battle.

But to those in the VIP stands, this was nothing short of a product launch event specially tailored for Su Hao, offering him a hands-on opportunity.

And
With its overall product strength far ahead of the competition, Suhao possesses the greatest advantage of all domestically produced export goods.
The price is low, and while it's low, it also has a terrifying market inherent to it.
that's it!
The first half of the game ended.

With Guangzhou Evergrande still struggling to maintain a 1-0 lead, the big buyers in the VIP stands are already sharpening their knives and looking at Jorge Mendes, the person in charge of the press conference sitting at the front of the stands!

"Children! I am so proud of you!"

The 1 minutes have ended, and Bayern Munich are leading by one goal!

Inside Evergrande's locker room.

As soon as the old man entered the room, he hugged each of his teammates who were exhausted from playing on the field.

Before the competition, the old man told his disciples to give it their all.

However, the old man really didn't expect that these young men, whose strength was far inferior to Bayern's, would actually fight to this extent.

Zheng Zhi, panting heavily, poured cold water directly over his head.

Muriqui also grabbed an ice pack and applied it to his injured knee.

As for those players on the flanks...

After feeling like she couldn't breathe, she quickly sprayed Yunnan Baiyao on her legs, which were covered in abrasions.

and.
Of all these people, Su Hao, who was constantly rescuing people from danger, was the most miserable.

After taking off his jersey, Su Hao's entire upper body was covered in bruises from his hard-fought battles with Mandzukic and Schweinsteiger for possession of the ball, as were his legs.
There's hardly any intact part left.

Yes!

Despite having such a large physique, he still risked his life by repeatedly sliding in and diving!

How could his leg still be intact?

"Children! You have done a perfect job!"

"But it's not enough!"

"In the second half, we'll continue to defend like this!"

With a one-goal lead, the old man decisively chose the most conservative approach.

Qin Sheng and Zhao Peng replaced Elkeson and Conca.

One defensive midfielder and one center-back.

Lippi went all in and adopted a true 5-4-1 defensive formation.

The 15-minute halftime break ended quickly.

As soon as the Evergrande players entered the field, Guardiola noticed Lippi's tactical change.

Unsurprisingly, in Guardiola's view, with a one-goal lead, this was the only way Guangzhou Evergrande could possibly win the game.

However, Guardiola was certainly not unprepared.

He also anticipated Lippi's tactical change and substituted Bayern's star player Müller for Schweinsteiger.

Two strikers!
Mandzukic pounces on the ball, while Müller looks for opportunities as a second striker.

This is Guardiola's strategy for dealing with the situation.

The competition then restarted.

"My dear Jorge, tell me, how much signing fee do you need to get Sue to come to Manchester!"

Bayern's relentless attack on the pitch continued.

Mendes, who had just gone out to answer a phone call, reluctantly got up to answer another call from Manchester.

Ferransoriano!
After learning that their city rivals were aggressively expanding in the Chinese market, the CEO of Manchester City under Mansour also turned his attention to Manchester United and Su Hao, who was being pursued by Wenger.

As it turned out, you wouldn't know unless you watched, especially after the Manchester City scouts passed on Su Hao's perfect performance in the first half during Bayern's 45 minutes.

Ferransoriano immediately called Mendes.

Although Manchester City currently has Yaya Toure, this is not a problem for the financially powerful Manchester City.

If they can acquire Su Hao, Ferran Soriano is absolutely confident that he can completely develop China into Manchester City's largest fan base.

After all, compared to other teams, Manchester City has the seven-year bond with the Chinese player Sun.

"Dear Soriano, honestly, do you think I'm that greedy? I just want to find a club where Suarez can fully develop! Oh God, never mind, Suarez delivered another amazing pass."

On the phone, Mendes exclaimed to Soriano about Su Hao's pass.

And on the field!

As Mendes said.

After another hard-fought defense against Bayern's attack,
Su Hao delivered a signature super rainbow kick to Bayern's last defender, Boateng.

Muriqui started moving like a cheetah!

It's just a pity!
This cheetah, capable of hunting any prey in Asia, seemed to have lost its most relied-upon claws in front of Boateng.

With a preemptive start and textbook-perfect marking, Boateng easily headed the ball out of bounds before Muriqui could react.

"Oh! Sorry, Soriano, I was too focused on the game just now. It's a pity that it wasn't Aguero standing in front of Suarez. If it were Aguero, I believe Suarez would have gotten another assist by now!"

"Haha, Soriano's just kidding. I'm still on the pitch. As for the Suarez question, I think you can call me tonight and we can continue the discussion!"

"Yes! I know Manchester City has plenty of money!"

And just like that, Mendes hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Mendes seemed to realize what had happened and smiled apologetically at the various top clubs who had overheard his entire conversation with Soriano.

"Hey! Boss! That damn Manchester City guy Soriano just called Mendes, and he even said in front of all of us that Manchester City has plenty of money!"

"Hey! Professor! There's something going on. Soriano has suddenly become interested in Suarez for some reason, and it seems Manchester City has prepared a huge signing bonus. I saw Mendes look quite surprised when he heard the number!"

"Hey"

Mendes is shameless!

At least in the VIP stands, taking Soriano's private phone call in front of so many people is definitely not something Mendes would do based on his usual persona.

But
There was no way around it; Mendes kept emphasizing to others that he was just a businessman, a profit-driven businessman.

Don't think of yourself as a philanthropist just because you're more focused on the players' development!
Especially if, through some maneuvering, a record transfer fee can be created!

The competition for Su Hao among the various teams in the stands has officially entered a heated phase!
Meanwhile, at the Adila Stadium at the same time!

Guangzhou Evergrande is still desperately trying to stop Bayern Munich's relentless attacks!

Five defenders plus four midfielders!

Evergrande fielded a crazy lineup of 10 pure defensive players.

It was this formation that completely abandoned the attack, coupled with the desperate and relentless defense of the entire Evergrande team, that allowed Evergrande to miraculously maintain the score until the 70th minute of the match.

only!

As time goes by.

The players' physical exhaustion and increasingly frequent fouls also made Lippi on the sidelines anxious.

The 71th minute of the game.

After countless back-and-forth battles with top stars like Bayern Munich, the 34-year-old Zheng Zhi finally couldn't keep going.

Although Zheng Zhi has always been the representative of physical fitness in the top tier of Guangzhou Evergrande in the domestic league and even the AFC Champions League.

But the intensity of that match really can't compare to today's match.

Seeing that Zheng Zhi could not continue, Lippi had no choice but to play his last card: Zhao Xuri!

He remains a defensive midfielder.

However, even Zheng Zhi couldn't hold on any longer, let alone the players in the other positions.
Zhang Linpeng on the right wing.

After being led around by Ribery for a full seventy minutes, his legs, which were already sore from being lifted, made it impossible for him to keep up with the Scarface Warrior.

The 73th minute of the game.

As always, Ribery charged towards Zhang Linpeng on the wing.

Seeing Ribery use his speed and change of direction to get past him and rush into his own penalty area, Zhang Linpeng had no choice but to pull the scarred warrior down.

The second yellow card plus a free kick near a corner kick.

Zhang Linpeng officially announced the end of his match.

Lippi, standing on the sidelines, didn't reprimand Zhang Linpeng. He simply patted Zhang Linpeng on the head in a comforting gesture and then told Qin Sheng to fill in for Zhang Linpeng.

75th minute of the match!

Bayern Munich's corner kick opportunity.

Mandzukic was still the first to charge in.

Su Hao followed closely behind.

However, this is different from the previous evenly matched situation.

Having already wasted too much energy in various defensive assignments and help defenses, Su Hao finally failed to get past Mandzukic this time.

Su Hao could only watch helplessly as Mandzukic headed the ball hard right in front of him for the first time!

Fortunately, perhaps he himself did not expect that Su Hao would not be able to keep up with him, which caused the header to be too powerful, and the ball was smashed directly into the stands.

Bayern Munich missed another golden opportunity.

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

After more than seventy minutes of intense defense, Su Hao's legs began to feel heavy.

Even my muscles felt like they were about to cramp.

This was the first time Su Hao had ever experienced this feeling.

Physical fitness?
At that moment, Su Hao suddenly became worried about whether his still-unlocked physical attribute would be enough to support him in the intense matches of the top five leagues in the future!
Su Hao's physical strength was completely exhausted.

The starting lineup for the other positions for Evergrande is naturally the same as Su Hao's.

In addition, they are down to one player.

After holding on until the 78th minute of the match.

Guangzhou Evergrande's dream of reaching the final was finally shattered by a brilliant shot from Bayern Munich's young star Thomas Müller in front of the goal!

"oops!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"Mandzukic's header was met with a world-class save from Zeng Cheng, who pushed the ball off the goal line – it's just a pity!"

"Just as Zeng Cheng made the save, Müller got to the ball before Zhao Xuri could and poked it into the Evergrande goal."

"1:1!"

"The score has been tied!"

A goal that absolutely shattered all illusions has been scored.

In addition, the entire Evergrande team was exhausted.

In the next ten minutes or so, Guangzhou Evergrande, who had held on for more than seventy minutes, naturally collapsed completely.

The 82th minute of the game.

Without Su Hao's help this time, Rong Hao and Qin Sheng were no match for Robben at all.

Robben unleashes his signature inside cut and powerful shot.

The football went straight into the top corner!

2: 1!

Guangzhou Evergrande were defeated by Bayern Munich!

The 85th minute of the game.

Müller dribbled into the penalty area again, and just as he was about to shoot, Feng Xiaoting, who could no longer keep up with Müller's pace, could only foul him from behind.

A red card, plus a penalty kick.

Evergrande has completely lost all hope.

Bayern's crown prince stood with the football in his arms in front of the penalty spot he had won.

However, this time, Müller messed up.

After trying to completely break Evergrande's spirit with a spoon, Müller didn't expect that Zeng Cheng would simply hold onto the ball with both hands without moving.

He then launched a long ball directly to Muriqui's feet.

If Boateng hadn't stayed by Muriqui's side the whole time, Guangzhou Evergrande might have actually tied the score again.

2: 1!

This is the final outcome of the match.

Guangzhou Evergrande relied on Su Hao's powerful first-half shot to maintain their one-goal lead until the seventy-minute mark.

However, due to the gap in strength and the enormous physical exertion, Evergrande ultimately lost!
"congratulations!"

As soon as the match ended, Lippi smiled and walked over to Guardiola.

The old man's congratulations came from the bottom of his heart.

Moreover, in the old man's view, his Evergrande team was already something to be proud of, having pushed Bayern Munich to this point.

"My God, I almost thought we were going to lose! But thankfully, luck was on our side in the end!"

In response to Lippi's congratulations, Guardiola immediately used a joke to attribute his victory to luck.

Well, thinking about the whole process carefully, Guardiola even felt that he was lucky to win this game?
However, Gua Tu only thought about it for a moment.

Gua Tu quickly steered the conversation toward Su Hao.

"Sir, number 28."

Guardiola subtly inquired about Su Hao from Lippi.

They inquired about this super genius who almost single-handedly pushed Bayern to this point!
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Lippi understood that Guardiola wanted to know if he knew Su Hao's whereabouts.

"Haha, it's a pity, I don't know where this little guy will go either, but at least I know that he hasn't decided on his future yet!"

After all, he was a colleague I admired.

Lippi was indeed eager to see how his dream midfielder would perform in Guardiola's 4-1-4-1 formation, a formation orchestrated by the tactical mastermind.

Therefore, Lippi revealed what he knew without hesitation.

What Lippi didn't expect was...

The one in front of me!

This is Guardiola, the super young coach who has already achieved the feat of winning six titles and once only had eyes for Messi!

Surprisingly, after hearing his own words and being patted on the shoulder with a "THANK you," he walked over to the young man on the court who was standing with his hands on his hips, looking disappointed.

Guardiola walked towards Su Hao without any regard for the consequences.

All the reporters on site seemed to have caught some exciting news, and they all carried their cameras and followed along.

"Hi! Su? Hello!"

Central stadium!

Just as Su Hao was lamenting that the energy of his little butterfly was still too weak.

A voice that seemed familiar came from somewhere before.

He turned around.
Su Hao was also visibly taken aback!
"Oh! Hello! Mr. Guardiola!"

PS: Here comes 15,000 words. I was busy at the hospital all day, and it was already 6 o'clock when I got to the internet cafe.

That's all for now. My wife has already made several phone calls.

Oh! The tragedy of middle age, with two sons still crying at home.
