Legend of the Blue Lion

Chapter 498
……

Of course, Boateng is not He Yu's friend.

However, they are no longer the enemies they once were.

Rather, the most familiar stranger...

Well now, the two friends came to the South American continent together in the summer of Berlin 26 years ago.

The difference is that one has matured and become a coach.

And the other one is a player.

……

As the old saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, and they really can't help it.After going around for decades, he can still become an opponent.

Speaking of fate, I really can't tell.

Ghana, where Boateng is located, is a bit interesting to be in the same group as He Yu.In the other two teams, there are also old acquaintances of He Yu.

The first goalkeeper of the German team is naturally Bayern's Flüchter.

The second goalkeeper is Hamburg's 32-year-old captain, Yannick Zummack.

He was the team's third goalkeeper when He Yu was still in Karlsruhe.That is, the old treasure that was excavated from Germany by Hesse back then.

Looking at it now, Hesse's vision back then was so awesome.

Another opponent, Austria, also has He Yu's old acquaintance...

Sebastian Gessl (Sebastian Gessl), Austrian captain and national goal.He was also He Yu's substitute in Karlsruhe.

Of course, he is still in Karlsruhe now, inheriting the mantle passed down by He Yu...

A team, three goalkeepers, all once played for the same team.

This is extremely unlikely in world football.

When I think about it, I feel a little creepy...

But when he thinks of Karlsruhe, He Yu can't help but think of Lin Huier.

It was an unbearable pain, but it touched him a little.

Silently, He Yu looked up at the sky, and said to the white floating cloud in the sky:

"Hui'er, can you see it?
I am now in the World Cup! "

……

June 6, Buenos Aires, Candy Box Stadium.

The first match of Group H of the World Cup has officially started.

In this famous stadium, China fought fiercely with Germany for 90 minutes.

In the end, they lost to Germany 0-1.

The defensive counterattack tactics set before the game are useless in actual combat.

The Chinese team defended almost purely for more than 90 minutes, unable to parry.Several attack points in the frontcourt have to withdraw to the half court to ask for the ball.

The problem of the Chinese team is obvious, top-heavy...

But He Yu kept busy in his first World Cup.The high-block and low-block players did their best, but they failed to help the team avoid defeat.

Conceding only one goal, he did his best.

It is still a pity for him not to be able to complete a zero seal, win a draw, and steal a point...

In the other game, Austria played against Ghana. In the end, Austria won 3-1 and temporarily ranked first in the group with the advantage of goal difference.

……

After this round, He Yu chatted with head coach Cao Pan for a long time.

In the end, a unanimous decision was reached.

In the next match, let Guo Xiangmeng play, and He Yu will not play.

One is to consider He Yu's physical fitness, and the other is to use his own words, that is:

"I'm just in the past, they are our future.

It should also let Xiangmeng feel the atmosphere of the World Cup.

Furthermore, our goal, our purpose, cannot be achieved by me.

All we need is just one goal! "

……

June 6, Aveyaneda, Stadium Libertadores of the Americas.

In the battle against Ghana, He Yu sat on the bench.

At first glance, his image is like the coach of the team.

Although old-fashioned is not enough to describe He Yu, the age of 41 can be clearly seen from his face.

Watching my juniors fighting hard on the court.

In He Yu's eyes, he was full of his childhood appearance...

He always thinks back to the summer 26 years ago, when that young and energetic kid stood alone on the Berlin stadium.

And just so, standing in front of the bench next to him was the same person who had a story with He Yu that summer.

Boateng as the head coach of Ghana, this World Cup is very difficult.

The first game has already been lost to Austria, and the next game will be fatefully arranged for Germany.

The story between him and Germany is really gone...

He looked at him, fantasizing in his mind.

The story of that summer, if changed a little bit.

Now, what kind of scenery will it be like?

……

2 to 0, the Chinese team failed to withstand Ghana's offense, conceded goals one after another, and lost.

China suffered a two-game losing streak. Although the third place in the group is likely to qualify, the final death penalty has not yet been sentenced.

But, that's the only theoretical basis left...

Germany, 2 wins and 6 points, 3 goals and 1 loss;

奥地利，1胜1负积3分，进4失3；

加纳，1胜1负积3分，进3失3
China, 2 losses and 0 points, 0 losses and 3 points.

Germany, which has won both games, is already guaranteed to qualify.

Austria and Ghana are ranked second and third respectively, and have the same three points.

In the last round, China will play against Austria, unless it wins by a big score.

Otherwise, even if they win, they will be ranked last because of the disadvantage of goal difference or number of goals scored with any of their teams.

It seems that the possibility of qualifying for the group is a bit of a waste of time.

The "three one desires" of the Chinese team are really about to become extravagant.

The last game, and only the last chance.

……

On June 6, Ludovica took care of his affairs and flew directly to Argentina.

After reuniting with He Yu, she felt He Yu's frustration.

She understood that for him, this was a torment.

What he longs for, and what the whole country is longing for, is just a goal...

However, as a goalkeeper, he has proven himself to be the number one goalkeeper in world football.

But there is no way to bring this goal to the country.

Others may not be able to understand it, but Ludovica, who is well versed in Chinese culture, is very clear.

This country, with a population of more than one billion, is still looking forward to this goal day and night.

And this first person, the first hero, is destined to become a legend.

However, judging from the current situation, it is still difficult.

She understands, and he understands, that many things are really impossible.

She didn't speak, but quietly stayed by He Yu's side, with him, quietly...

"I don't expect us to qualify, I don't expect us to win a game.

But I really want to see who can score a goal! "

He Yu said in pain, as if there was a heavy weight on his shoulder.

And Ludovica patted him on the back, comforted him, and whispered:

"How about you come?"
