Awakening the Messi template, Florentino Pérez begs me to join Real Madrid

The two collided violently in mid-air!

Wu Shi's shoulder slammed solidly into the side of Kim Min Jae's ribs!

"Ugh!" Kim Min-jae groaned in pain, lost his balance, and fell heavily to the ground!

The ball was lost.

The referee blew his whistle immediately!

After landing, Wu Shi also collapsed, clutching his shoulder with a pained expression.

Jeonbuk players immediately surrounded him and shoved Wu Shi.

"You did this on purpose!"

"Want to fight?!"

Evergrande players rushed over to protect Wu Shi.

The referee parted the crowd and first inquired about Kim Min-jae's condition. The Korean man was lying on the ground, clutching his ribs, his face pale; he had clearly suffered a serious injury.

The team doctor entered the field to conduct an examination.

The referee turned around, walked towards Wu Shi, and took out a yellow card from his pocket.

"Your collision was too forceful and dangerous," the referee said in English.

Wu Shi did not argue, but simply nodded and accepted the verdict.

Gao Lin whispered from the side, "It was worth it. That kid's going to be in pain for a long time."

As expected, after a short period of treatment, Kim Min-jae continued to compete, but his running was clearly affected. He frequently clutched his ribs and his face contorted in pain.

Wu Shi paid the price of a yellow card, but in doing so, he left the opponent's key center-back "half-crippled".

[System: Retaliation Operation Executed. Skill Rating: Stealth 8/10, Damage Effectiveness 7/10. Cost: One Yellow Card.]

[Special Note: The cost of malicious fouls by the opposing team is low (only a verbal warning), while the cost of retaliation for our team is high (yellow card). This strategy should be used with caution in away games with a relaxed playing style.]

The first half ended with a score of 1-0.

As Kim Min-jae walked back to the locker room, he passed by Moo-seok and whispered in English, "You wait here."

Wu Shi glanced at him but didn't say anything.

He used his eyes to say: I'm waiting.

The atmosphere in the locker room was both tense and excited.

The team doctor is treating Wu Shi's injuries to his waist and ankle.

The bruises on my waist had turned purple, and I had applied ointment to the scraped areas on my ankles.

"Can you keep going?" Lippi asked.

"Yes," Wu Shi replied without hesitation.

Lippi glanced at the injury on his waist, then at the fire in his eyes, and nodded.

"In the second half, Jeonbuk will definitely press forward with all their might."

Lippi drew arrows on the tactics board, saying, "They are missing a healthy center-back, which will create more gaps in their defense."

He looked at Wu Shi:

"You drop back and play as a false nine. Use your body as a pivot, hold onto the ball, and immediately look for Muriqui and Elkeson. The higher they push, the more space they'll create behind them."

"Also," Lippi paused, "Kim Min-jae is injured, but he won't be off the field. He might resort to even dirtier tactics. Protect yourself, but make him pay the price—with goals and victories."

Wu Shi nodded vigorously.

As Lippi predicted, Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors pressed forward as a whole, launching wave after wave of attacks at the start of the second half.

Within the first five minutes, they had three shots on goal, one of which was a long-range shot that slammed into the crossbar, giving Hengda a real scare.

Tremendous stress.

But under pressure, space also emerged.

In the 58th minute, it was time to demonstrate the pivotal role.

Hengda cleared the ball with a long kick from their own half, sending it flying high toward midfield.

With his back to the direction of the attack, Kim Min-jae, despite the pain in his ribs, remained tightly pressed against his back.

The elbows pressed against his injured lower back, the knees against the back of his legs, and the entire weight of the body pressed down on him.

In the past, or if it were Wu Shi without his physical upgrades, this kind of ball would have been difficult to catch.

But now—

He anticipated the landing point, took a deep breath, exerted his core strength, and leaned back sharply!

With a weight of over 80 kilograms and the core strength honed over the past few months, everything exploded at this moment!

Kim Min-jae already had a rib injury, and when he was leaned on with all his might, he groaned and was forced to take two steps back, almost falling over!

With just two steps of space, Wu Shi chested the ball down, flicked it with his left foot, and turned!

Despite the excruciating pain, Kim Min-jae stretched out his leg to intercept, but Moo-seok had already turned and was dribbling forward!

[System: Back-to-ball protection successful! Competition rating: 8.5/10! Utilized the opponent's injury to break free, Tactical intelligence +1.]

"Wu Shi got it! Beautiful turn!" the commentator shouted.

Wu Shi dribbled forward, and Jeonbuk's defensive midfielder had already come to cover.

Wu Shi didn't thrust forward; he looked up to observe.

On the right flank, Muriqui is making a high-speed run! He's a full step ahead of Jeonbuk's left-back!

On the left flank, Elkeson moved towards the center, drawing the attention of another center-back.

Meanwhile, Jeonbuk's two full-backs, having pushed their formation forward, are still desperately trying to track back.

The gap is in the open area on the right flank.

Just as the opponent's defensive midfielder pressed forward, Wu Shi delivered a long diagonal pass with the outside of his right foot!

This pass incorporated his 91% proficiency in the outside-of-the-foot curve technique, resulting in a fast ball speed, precise trajectory, and tricky landing point!

The ball landed in front of Muriqui's sprint path!

Perfect lead time!

Muriqui didn't need to slow down; he received the ball comfortably, with only one last center-back rushing to cover in front of him!

One-on-one!

Jeonbuk's goalkeeper abandoned his post and launched an attack.

Muriqui calmly flicked the ball to his right, creating space, and then slotted it into the far corner!

2-0!!!

"Goal!!! Muriqui!!! Wu Shi's assist was absolutely brilliant!!!" The commentator erupted in cheers. "His role as a target man, his vision and technique in passing—it was a world-class performance!"

Muriqui rushed towards the corner flag, turned and pointed at Wu Shi, gave him a big thumbs up, and then made a heart shape with his hands—an assist for Wu Shi.

Wu Shi smiled and hugged his teammates who rushed up to him.

This assist pleased him even more than the goal in the first half.

It showcases not just individual ability, but the football wisdom of reading the game, finding space, exploiting the opponent's weaknesses, and executing tactics precisely.

On the sidelines, Lippi clapped vigorously, a smile appearing on his usually serious face.

He knew that this 17-year-old boy was growing up at an astonishing pace.

Not only did my body become stronger, but my mind also became clearer.

Trailing by two goals, Jeonbuk went completely crazy, but also completely lost their balance.

Their offense became disorganized and their defense was riddled with holes.

Kim Min-jae, due to his rib injury and complete loss of emotional control, began to act increasingly violently.

In the 71st minute, he made another malicious tackle on Wu Shi outside the penalty area; this time the malice was too obvious.

This time, the severity of the punishment warranted a straight red card, even though Hassan's standards were relatively lenient.

With one less player fighting, Jeonbuk completely collapsed.

Evergrande, on the other hand, played a solid defensive strategy and launched counterattacks with ease.

In the 78th minute, Wu Shi almost scored his second goal.

He received a through pass from Conca at the edge of the penalty area, turned and fired a shot that grazed the post and went out of bounds, giving the Jeonbuk goalkeeper a scare.

[System: Your shooting motion was slightly distorted due to lower back pain, resulting in decreased accuracy. Thorough treatment is recommended after the match.]

In the three minutes of stoppage time, Jeonbuk's last desperate long-range shot was caught securely by Zeng Cheng.

"Beep—beep—beep—!"

Three long whistles signaled the end of the match!

Guangzhou Evergrande defeated Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors 2-0 away from home, advancing to the AFC Champions League Round of 16 as the second-place team in their group!

The moment the final whistle blew, Evergrande players rushed onto the field to celebrate wildly.

Wu Shi stood there, hands on his knees, panting heavily.

The pain in my lower back, the stinging in my ankles, and the exhaustion all rushed in at once, but they were all overwhelmed by a stronger emotion—the exhilaration of victory and the satisfaction of proving myself.

[System: Match ended. Overall rating: 9.5/10 (Player of the Match).]

[Statistics: 1 goal, 1 assist, 13 successful duels (70% success rate), 4 key passes, 11.8 km covered. Drawed an injury and sent off the opposing team's key player.]

[Integration level updated: 6.85% → 7.30% (+0.45%, a significant improvement).]

[Estimated global ranking for the same age group: 90]

[Commentary: Under intense pressure away from home, with relaxed playing style and targeted malicious fouls, they not only survived but also dominated the game with goals, assists, and crucial duels. Like steel tempered in fire, their brilliance is undeniable. Their retaliatory tactics were successfully executed, but the long-term risks of such behavior must be considered.]

Tonight, you can finally get a good night's sleep.

You have proven that you can not only grow technically, but also survive, fight back, and win in the most brutal competition.

These are essential qualities for gaining access to Europe and higher stages.

Now, get some rest.

The real challenge—the trial in Madrid—awaits not far off.
