World Cup of Great Powers

Chapter 24 Inheritance

"The Chinese team takes the lead in making substitutions."

"The player replaced is forward Gao Feng."

"The replacement is veteran Gao Hongbo."

Hearing Sun Zhengping call him "veteran", countless elderly fans sighed.

When the Asian Youth Championship won the championship in 1985, Gao Hongbo, who scored all five goals for the team, was still a handsome boy who was nearly 19 years old.

Time flies, time flies.

In the blink of an eye, the former top scorer of the national team has reached the age of retirement.

Seeing Gao Hongbo put on the national team jersey again, many old fans shed tears.

This is not pretentious, but a kind of inheritance.

When 31-year-old Gao Hongbo and Zhang Xiaorui were in the same frame, fans could only see the shadow of Gao Hongbo when he was 21 years old.

"Dad, who is Gao Hongbo?" Xiaorong asked curiously.

"Gao Hongbo is amazing! He was the top scorer of the national team before football became professional!" Lao Rong replied.

"Then his attack must be very powerful?" Xiao Rong became excited upon hearing this.

"probably!"

Looking at Gao Hongbo on the screen, Lao Rong was a little unsure whether he could conquer the national team like he did four years ago.

Some people say that professionalization has brought disaster to Chinese football.

But compare it.

There are many 35-year-old evergreens in Serie A, but in China, 31-year-olds are already veterans who are about to retire.

This is one of the differences between professionalism and non-professionalism.

As soon as he came on the field, Gao Hongbo received a pass from Zhang Xiaorui.

But obviously, he hasn't adapted to the rhythm of the court yet.

The Kuwaiti defender made a collision from the side and squeezed Gao Hongbo away, who was not very strong, and won the ball.

Seeing this scene, many young fans couldn't help but started to complain.

"It would be nice if I changed to XX!"

"If XX was on the court, he would never concede the ball so easily!"

"Coach Zeng is good at everything, but when it comes to hiring people, I really can't agree with him!"

The forwards on the bench, in addition to Gao Feng who just came off the field, are Li Jinyu and Li Bing.

I thought that with my relationship with Zeng Zheng, even if I didn't get a starting spot in the last game, I could still be a substitute.

Unexpectedly, Zeng Zheng actually sent veteran Gao Hongbo.

"Huh! Boss Zeng still doesn't trust me!" The arrogant Li Jinyu tilted his mouth, his face full of dissatisfaction.

"Dayu, just calm down. This is the last game of the top ten games. Of course, Chief Zeng must play steadily!" Sui Dongliang comforted him from the side.

"Didn't he want to score as many goals as possible in this game? Ryoko, tell me, where did I do not do well enough in this regard?"

"Yes, yes, your positioning is the best, and you are the best at picking up mistakes!"

"Tch! Don't be envious! Most people can't pick it up even if they want to!"

Among Jianlibao's forwards, Li Jinyu is not the tallest, nor the fastest, nor the strongest.

Everyone trains together every day, and their footwork is pretty much the same.

But why Li Jinyu can become one of the four little swans is because he scores many goals!

The sense of smell in front of the door is such a mysterious and mysterious thing, even in Zeng Zheng's system, it is difficult to reflect it.

It wasn't until the tacit understanding between Li Jinyu and Zeng Zheng reached over 80% that all of his attributes were unlocked, and Zeng Zheng didn't know that Li Jinyu also had a passive skill called "Metaphysical Movement".

Relying on his keen sense of smell in front of the goal, Li Jinyu can always seize opportunities in the opponent's penalty area and succeed with one strike.

It stands to reason that Zeng Zheng is the coach who knows Li Jinyu best, so it is perfect to replace him at this moment.

However, because Gao Hongbo, who was recruited into the team, was grateful to Zeng Zheng, his trust in Zeng Zheng greatly increased.

Even after getting along with him for only a few days, Zeng Zheng could see some of Gao Hongbo's attributes.

One of them is the "metaphysical movement" of up to LV5.

Li Jinyu, who has the same skills, is only at LV1.

Just as Li Jinyu continued to complain, he suddenly heard a familiar shout.

"Dayu, come here here!"

"Okay, Boss Zeng, what do you want me to do?"

One second he was complaining about Zeng Zheng's unfairness, and the next second he jumped up from his stool and ran to Zeng Zheng's side.

"Boss Zeng, you called me?" Li Jinyu rubbed his hands with expectation.

"Don't just sit on the chair all the time!" Zeng Zheng slapped Li Jinyu on the back of the head. "Watch carefully from the sidelines and see how people move! You follow and learn from it!"

Who to look at?

Who to learn from?

Li Jinyu was a little confused when she was photographed by Zeng Zheng.

Is there anyone on the field who can move better than me?

Taking a casual glance at the court, Li Jinyu saw the most special person at a glance.

It is none other than veteran Gao Hongbo!

At this moment, all the Kuwaiti team members were attracted by the tall and powerful Su Maozhen, while the thin Gao Hongbo became invisible.

When people's eyes only followed the movement of the ball, Gao Hongbo ran to the blind spot of the defender on the other side without even noticing.

Except for the Kuwaiti goalkeeper, almost no one noticed him.

Therefore, when they saw Gao Hongbo swinging her legs to meet the ball, everyone suddenly felt their hearts in their throats.

Damn it?

Gao Hongbo is about to cum?

boom!

Facing Ma Mingyu's diagonal pass, Gao Hongbo directly raised his right leg and sent a low shot.

The Kuwaiti goalkeeper, who just turned around and saw Gao Hongbo, subconsciously reached down and stretched out his hand, but found nothing.

As a sigh came from the stands, the ball slid past the goal.

Even Gao Hongbo himself lifted up the curtain of hair with the fingers of both hands and picked at his scalp fiercely.

"Ah! Such a good opportunity has been wasted!"

"Old Gaotou is really not what he used to be!"

"Alas! Time is not forgiving!"

The fans sighed for Gao Hongbo's missed shot, but Li Jinyu opened his mouth wide, with surprise written all over his face.

"Boss Zeng, he, he seems to be offside, right?"

"Don't you know if it's offside or not?" Zeng Zheng sneered, "Is it you who sees it accurately or the linesman? The linesman didn't say it was offside. What are you talking about?"

Li Jinyu fell silent.

As a beneficiary of the same situation, Li Jinyu certainly knows how to block the linesman's vision and when to move more appropriately.

But he had just seen clearly that Gao Hongbo was obviously in an offside position, so why didn't he go overboard in the blink of an eye?

Following Zeng Zheng's hand, Li Jinyu saw the Kuwaiti central defender following Su Maozhen.

"That person just took a step back to guard against Lao Mao'er."

Li Jinyu suddenly realized.

"So that's it." Suddenly, Li Jinyu became curious again, "How did he know that the defender would retreat? If the defender didn't retreat, wouldn't he be offside?"

"That's why I asked you to study hard!" Zeng Zheng said with hatred, he slapped Li Jinyu's watermelon head again.

This time, Li Jinyu remained silent.

He followed Zeng Zheng quietly, watching Gao Hongbo on the court walking left and right in the frontcourt.

In the 69th minute, under the command of Zeng Zheng, Zhang Minghua found Sun Jihai on the wing as quickly as possible and passed the ball out.

After receiving the ball, Sun Jihai did not hesitate and immediately passed the ball diagonally to Li Ming in the middle.

Li Ming waded for the ball, crossed the center line step by step, and carefully brought the ball forward.

At this time, Su Maozhen had already reached the top of the arc in the Kuwait penalty area, and Wu Chengying, who had joined on the other side, was already running along the left wing.

Zhang Xiaorui followed Li Ming to provide support, but Li Ming didn't seem to see him at the moment and still carried the ball by himself.

Kuwait's midfielder had already shrunk in place at this moment and immediately sent one man to press towards Li Ming.

At this moment, Li Jinyu's eyes lit up on the sidelines.

In his field of vision, Gao Hongbo, who was following Su Maozhen's shadow, suddenly changed direction and ran towards Wu Chengying on the wing.

Kuwaiti defender Talal, who was stuck in front of Gao Hongbo, looked back while running. After seeing Gao Hongbo change, he also adjusted his direction.

But when he turned his head from the other side, he did not see Gao Hongbo.

"be cheated!"

After realizing that he had been tricked, Talal immediately turned his head back and looked for Gao Hongbo's figure.

But this time, he miscalculated again.

In the not-wide field of view, he also did not notice the thin figure.

Years of playing football experience told him that the missing Chinese player must be found as soon as possible.

So Talal turned his head again as quickly as possible and looked expectantly to the side again.

But there, except for Wu Chengying who cut in at high speed and his teammates who were full backs and had already passed by, no one was seen.

Now, Talal panicked.

Could it be that as soon as I turned my head, the skinny Chinese player became invisible?

Talal realized later and quickly turned around, facing away from his own bottom line.

In a completely open field of vision, he finally found the figure he had been looking for for a long time.

But at this moment, Gao Hongbo had already moved laterally and reached the other side of the penalty area.

In the small area on the right side of the penalty area, the Chinese team actually formed a 2-on-1 situation!

"Pass, empty!" Not only Zeng Zheng, but also other assistant coaches shouted on the sidelines.

Li Ming made a quick decision and pushed with his right foot, accurately pushing the ball diagonally in front of Gao Hongbo.

Almost the same place, the same space.

Facing the equally nervous goalkeeper, Gao Hongbo raised his right leg again without any hesitation.

"Li Ming's diagonal pass!"

"Find Gao Hongbo in the restricted area!"

"Gao Hongbo passes the ball to the center!"

Sun Zhengping's voice surprised many fans.

Except Su Maozhen.

For more than an hour, Kuwaiti players have been guarding against Mao's header.

But this time, Gao Hongbo passed the ball.

Faced with such a comfortable pass, Su Maozhen directly kicked the ball and hit it hard.

Bang!

Uh-huh!!!

Kuwait goalkeeper Khalid failed to save and could only watch the ball go into the net again.

Beep!!!

As the whistle sounded, Jintou Laomao, who had scored twice, rushed forward immediately and raised Gao Hongbo, who was assisting him.

"Brother Gao, this ball was passed beautifully!!!"

On the sidelines of the court, Li Jinyu's eyes flashed.

Gao Hongbo's erratic movement swinging from side to side at that moment has been deeply imprinted in his mind.

Pushed up.

Xiaobai, whose author account has been permanently banned, is here to ask for a wave of votes and investments.

Your support is my biggest motivation to persist!
