Chapter 132 Harvey's Surprise

As if to prove the correctness of everyone's public opinion, Sao Paulo won the next two rounds of the championship.

The No.20 round against Santos, they won 3:2 at home, Rongguang did not score or assist, but the performance was still very active, injecting vitality into Sao Paulo's offense.

Now we are past the stage where he is only judged by goals and assists.

In addition to scoring goals, the previous glory has no other abilities, and the help to the team is only reflected in scoring goals.

That's why everyone only uses goals to measure his performance.

If he can't score, it means that he didn't contribute at all to the team in this game.

But it is different now. Rongguang has learned more and more skills, and his abilities have become more and more comprehensive. His contribution and help to the team can not only be reflected in goals.

He doesn't score or assist, and he can also use his dribbling and speed to disrupt the opponent's defense, or force the opponent's defense to dare not press, and relieve some pressure on his team's defense.

In short, as long as he is on the court, the opponent must pay a lot of attention to defending him, or if he is not paying attention, Rong Guang will score a goal?
The same is true for Sao Paulo's next game against Guarani.

Rongguang did not score or assist, but the media did not give him a low evaluation.

Gradually, no one regarded him as a rookie anymore.

Although the media and public opinion highly praised Rongguang's performance.But Rong Guang himself was very dissatisfied.

He doesn't know what it means to "help the team even if you don't score", so he feels that he has failed if he doesn't score.

Because if you don't score, you don't perform well, and if you don't score, you don't get a bonus.

So Rong Guang practiced even harder...

Every time he feels that his performance is not good, he will torture himself twice and train hard to improve his ability.

That is because he is a rookie.

Switched to a normal player with seven or eight years of football experience, he would definitely feel that his performance is very good. That is him, this rookie is so dissatisfied.

He firmly believes that only goals are the highest standard to measure the performance of an offensive player.

If you don't score, it must be a bad performance, you need to improve your strength, you have to train hard.

So a perverted monster... that's how it was made.

"Andres, are you still practicing 'croquettes'?" In the training ground of the Barcelona first team, almost everyone was gone, but Andres Iniesta was still continuing his extra training plan.

Harvey, a teammate of the same team, stepped up curiously and asked.

Seeing that it was his senior, Iniesta stopped practicing and said to Harvey, "Yes."

Harvey looked at the football under his feet: "But this is just a very simple dribble, why are you so obsessed with practicing this?"

Xavi is four years older than Iniesta, and the two have never been teammates in the same team in Barcelona's echelon, but they have been teammates in the first team, that is, last year when Iniesta was temporarily transferred to the first team.

He and Harvey met at that time.

Xavi knew then that Iniesta was practicing "croquettes".

I didn't expect to see Iniesta again a year later, he is still practicing!
So he was surprised.

"Simple, but functional, Xavi," said Iniesta.

Harvey nodded: "It is indeed very practical, but no matter how practical it is, there is a limit, and it is not applicable to all situations..."

Unexpectedly, Iniesta laughed: "No, that's not the case. Xavi. You know, some time ago I accidentally saw a game video of a player, and I found out that there is really someone who can make such a simple dribble move to the extreme. His performance opened my eyes. In one game, he only used one 'fried ball' and completed [-] successful dribbles."

"Seventeen times? That's impossible!" Harvey was surprised.

Seventeen successes in one game, that is an astonishing statistic.

"This is the report of the Brazilian media," Iniesta said.

"Brazil? Is he a Brazilian player?" Harvey felt a little better.Brazilians are good at surmounting others. Although it is an exaggeration to go seventeen times in a game, it is not impossible...

"No, he's Chinese," Iniesta said.

The expression on Harvey's face froze.

"China? The China that failed to score a goal, conceded nine goals, and was eliminated in the group stage?" Because the Chinese team had just made a round of the World Cup finals, Harvey also established a preliminary impression of the country's football level.

Iniesta nodded.

"How...how is this possible?" Harvey was even more surprised.

"And he just started learning to play football in January of this year." Iniesta threw another blockbuster.

This bomb directly blew up Harvey to slag. Although he can still maintain his humanity now, it seems that as long as someone blows his breath, he will turn into fly ash.

After being stunned for a long time, Harvey said, "Holy Innocents Day is not here yet, Andres."

Holy Innocents Day is Spain's April Fool's Day. On December 28th every year, no one will care about any crazy words on that day, and all kinds of deceptive lies will emerge in endlessly.

Iniesta shook his head seriously and said: "No, Xavi. I'm not kidding. I've been following him for more than two weeks, he's really good..."

"But how can a person who has only studied football for eight months be able to perform so well? Can he successfully complete seventeen dribbles in one game?" Harvey still didn't believe it.

"This is evidenced by local media reports in Brazil. If you don't believe me, come with me to my house and I'll show you the video of his game!"

Harvey was aroused by Iniesta's strong curiosity, and he also wanted to see what the "man of God" in Iniesta's mouth was like.

So he nodded.

In Iniesta's home, Xavi stared wide-eyed at the computer screen, which was playing a clip of Rongguang's match against Flamengo.

"Well, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Iniesta said with a smile.

Harvey continued to stare at the screen: "Who is he?"

"Rong, Guang Rong. A genius who only came into contact with football at the age of 16, four months and [-] years!" Iniesta really deserves to be Rong Guang's "brainless fan". In just two weeks, he has already figured out Rong Guang's life experience.

Seeing such iron-clad factual evidence, Harvey also had to admit that Rong was really a great genius.

No one has ever learned football in eight months and practiced it to this level...

"The football world is so big, there will always be some powerful people we don't know." Harvey said with emotion from the bottom of his heart. "We have to work harder!"

※※※

The Young Bradell Stadium, which can accommodate nearly 3 people, is full of seats and voices.

As the home court of Bruges, Belgium, these people naturally support Bruges.

Their team met Barcelona in the Champions League group stage.

The first half ended in a draw.

The Brugge fans were delighted to be able to draw with the mighty Barcelona.

They even hope that the team can win the opponent at home.

Everyone is cheering for the team at the top of their lungs.

Almost no one cared about the thin figure standing on the sidelines ready to play. If he was not wearing a Barcelona jersey, he might be more easily regarded as a student with his fair skin and delicate face...

Andres Iniesta stood on the sidelines, feeling a little excited.

The first time I played for Barcelona... I didn't expect it to be in the Champions League!
He clenched his fists tightly, looking for a sense of reality.

After years of hard work and waiting, he finally got this opportunity.

He suddenly realized that he was too excited and nervous.

But his body was a little out of order.

If it continues like this, he will definitely not perform well on the court... I have never heard that he can perform well when he is nervous.Is my first appearance going to be screwed up and then turned into my last?
At this moment, the figure of No. 23 Sao Paulo suddenly appeared in his mind.

A layman who only studied football for more than a month, scored a goal and completed an assist after being suddenly sent on the pitch...

The same is the debut.

Maybe I won't be as good as my idol, but I can't perform too badly, can I?

At the very least, compared with my idol, I have ten years more accumulation and foreshadowing, and I have worked hard for ten years, this moment...isn't it logical?
Thinking of this, Iniesta suddenly became less nervous, and his trembling body stopped shaking.

He's back to normal.

His heart quickly calmed down.

Harvey on the court also noticed Iniesta's nervousness, but soon he saw that Iniesta was no longer nervous.

He was a little surprised.

Normal so soon?
very impressive!

Come on, Andres!
When Iniesta ran onto the field, the commentator said: "Barcelona has replaced a young man from the B team, Andres Iniesta, as a midfielder. He is another midfield star trained by the Barcelona youth training camp La Masia after Xavi. Last year and this year, Iniesta helped the Spanish U16 and U19 teams win the European Youth Championship. But for professional football, he is still a strange face. Barcelona's group qualification is a foregone conclusion. To work out, it's a Barcelona tradition..."

On October 2002, 29, Iniesta took the first step of his career at the Jan Bradel Stadium in Belgium.

At this time, the person who supported him in his heart, gave him the belief in striving for progress, kept him calm, and played at his normal level, no one knew, was a Chinese rookie who was far away in Brazil and was still unknown in the world.
