Golden Greenery

( ) ‘Bang! ’

Mars collided with the earth, and the battle between Xiao Hao and Farfan directly put the former Bundesliga star to bed.

Xiao Hao is not a tough-guy midfielder, but when he needs to be fierce, he will not be soft either. A veteran who has participated in three World Cups, the 31-year-old Hao Junmin is still a 'little Hao', but in terms of World Cup experience, he has more experience than Farfan, who participated for the first time.

In fact, it is very uncertain whether Xiao Hao will be selected into the 23-man roster this year. The Eight King Kongs have seriously squeezed the living space of indigenous players. Li Ke and Kadashi are sitting in the midfield starting lineup, and You Deshui, Exon, Goulart and Alan are also in the lineup. He can drop back and play in the midfield. Hao Junmin finally got on the bus, not because of how good he is, but because he has not relaxed at all in the past four years.

Not to mention the age of 30, Chinese players show a significant decline in strength when they reach the second level. This is related to early basic training, and may also be related to race.

If you want to break this very helpless rule, you can only be cruel to yourself and endure hardships that others cannot. In the current national team, Xiao Hao, Zheng Zhi, and Wu Lei are the three representatives who are so cruel to themselves that they can't bear to look at them.

In the past four years, through hard training, Xiao Hao has transformed himself from a wing midfielder and a passing midfielder to a controlling midfielder, who can even squat. Without strong mental power, it would be impossible to complete such training.

There is no shortage of players in the frontcourt of the Chinese team, so the selection of domestic indigenous players mainly focuses on the back line and defensive midfield, or 'newcomers' who have the potential to be promoted. Xiao Hao and Lei Zi are not scarce talents in the team, but they are scarce in spirit.

Professional football is very cruel. It is impossible to retreat if you do not advance, and it is impossible to advance any less. It is full of cold survival of the fittest. But Zhuo Yang's team has a little more human touch, Xiao Hao and Lei Zi do.

Lao Zheng is even more so. He won't let Zhuo Yang back even if he wants to.

The Li who was replaced was a good player, and Xiao Hao was definitely not the one who came up. If he really wanted to be replaced by Sforza, Lao Zheng would come up. Xiao Hao and Kadashi serve as double midfielders, responsible for controlling the midfield and sorting out the team's rhythm.

On the 7th pass, the ball was passed diagonally. The ball hit the west leg and then went up in a parabola. The landing point was Farfan.

But Xiao Hao didn't give up. He rushed over with a few steps and frightened Farfan. He came from behind and started a fight.

During the fight for the top, Farfan also seemed timid and tried to hide a little, but ended up head-butting with the sudden and violent little Hao.

Xiao Hao's forehead was wedged on the corner of Farfan's brow bone like a hammer.

Little Hao was so painful that he lay on the ground and rubbed his forehead violently.

As if trying to make fire out of wood, Farfan's eyebrows and feet were torn open, and blood was visible on the spot.

Xiao Hao was not the notorious Old Zheng. He was usually a polite person in the team, but this time Hard Steel was really murderous.

Half of Farfan's face was covered in blood and he looked like he needed stitches. The team doctor took him off the field to do some work. Coach Gareca quickly asked Paulo Hurtado, the attacking midfielder from Guimarães in the Portuguese Super League, to warm up.

Farfan was timid just now, but he doesn't want to be timid now. He came on as a substitute in the second half, and now he is replaced again. What's going on? In order to rush for time, he asked the team doctor to stop the bleeding first, instead of sewing, just squeeze it to stick it.

Indicated to the head coach that there is no need to substitute, Farfan was slightly injured and could not get out of the firing line.

But a few minutes later, coach Gareca replaced Hurtado, for no other reason. There were only the last ten minutes of the game, and a tie was meaningless. Peru had to give it a try for the goal. Hurtado Duo replaced left back Miguel Trauco.

But as soon as Trauko came off, coach Gareka immediately regretted it, because the corner of Farfan's eye began to bleed again, and the referee Karasov forcibly drove him down for a second bandage. Bloody fighting is only a description in a literary sense, and bloody fighting is not allowed on the football field.

There was still no touching scene of on-site stitches on the sidelines, because it would be too time-consuming and would result in Peru being short of one person for a long time. All they could do was wipe and squeeze, and then change a band-aid.

After a while, Farfan was kicked off twice by Karashov and had to wear two band-aids.

In the 88th minute of the game, Farfan's brow began to bleed again. He kept wiping it secretly, but the blood still flowed into his eyes, which was very uncomfortable.

Xiao Hao saw it, but he was not a noble moral bitch. Taking advantage of others' danger is the basic quality of a player.

Farfan dribbled the ball from the right position, and Xiao Hao attacked him. Farfan was blinded by the blood on his eyeballs and his vision was blurred. Xiao Hao easily intercepted the ball.

Cooperating with Maro on the wing, and then hitting the wall with Goulart, Xiao Hao sent a diagonal cross from the ribs during the counterattack. Kadashi broke into the penalty area with a kick, and the football exploded into the goal like a cannonball.

3:2, the Chinese team took the lead for the first time in this game, and this was almost a winning goal.

The Chinese team has scored three goals so far in this game. Zhuo Yang assisted the first one and instigated the second one, but the third one had nothing to do with him at all. This shows that the Chinese team no longer needs him to take care of everything anytime and anywhere. Without him, he can still play high-quality counterattacks and attacks. This is progress.

Sforza replaced Goulart with Wu Lei, and in the 3rd minute of stoppage time, he used 2 Youdeshui. These two substitutions have more time-consuming significance than tactical significance.

Peru had no choice but to accept the situation. With no substitutions available, their morale was severely damaged. Farfan went to change the fourth band-aid, but the bleeding still couldn't be stopped.

The whistle sounded. In a game where Zhuo Yang did not score, the Chinese team reversed and won 3:2, and the group won two consecutive games. Three hours later, another game ended. France and Denmark tied 0:0, allowing the Chinese team to qualify one round early, while Peru, which had lost both games, was eliminated one round early.

Coach Ricardo Gareca is very disappointed. He made too many mistakes and too many hesitations today, allowing South American powerhouse Peru to face the Asian team China. The sophistication and maturity of the Chinese team contrasted with the naivety and youthfulness of Peru.

The Peruvian fans in the stands were also disappointed, but they soon felt relieved. Being able to follow the team all the way to Russia, I actually didn’t expect to reach the semi-finals from the beginning because this was a group of death.

Peru 3 World Cup, but the opponents in the three groups are all World Cup veterans.

After the game, Lao He and the Peruvian fans calmed down and sang an encouraging song to the team. This time the Chinese did not use their numerical advantage to suppress them. Satisfied Chinese people can always show the demeanor of a great country.

Thanks again to the Chinese fans who enthusiastically helped to find medicine and deliver water, including the beautiful Chinese girl. Lao He looked at them and Zhuo Yang, who was interacting with the fans under the stands, and suddenly felt a lot more emotions in his heart.

It’s really good to be Chinese. Maybe next, I should take my dad to visit China. No, not going there, it would be more appropriate to go back to China for a visit.

Lao He, a Peruvian with Chinese blood flowing in his veins, didn't know who he was talking to, but he spoke softly in the direction of the Chinese fans and Zhuo Yang using the only Chinese he knew.

--Thanks.
