Legend of the Blue Lion

Chapter 499
……

The road is tortuous, and the road ahead is confusing.

When we can't see hope, we always look forward to the dawn.

The feeling that my fate is not in my hands is really uncomfortable.

The World Cup trip is still like a curse, eroding the fans who are waiting hard.

There is really not much time left for the Chinese team.

……

June 6, Belgrano, Monument Stadium

The Antonio Bespcio Liberti Monumental Stadium is located in the Belgrano region of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.

Generally abbreviated as "Monument Stadium" or "River Plate Stadium", it is the home court of the Argentine giants River Plate Club and the Argentine national team.

In this ancient stadium, it can accommodate 57000 people to watch the game, but today's attendance is very small.

It seems to be because the two teams facing each other are relatively unspectacular games.

This year's World Cup is held in South America. Because of the remoteness, there are not many fans from other countries.Even if there were, they were all for their respective home teams, or for strong teams.

Chinese fans?

Perhaps, only some of the most hardcore still remain.

Otherwise, it is not something that ordinary people can persist in flying for more than 20 hours.

What's more, it's coming, and it's just suffering for a goal.

I still remember that more than 10 years ago, after Panama from Central America scored its first goal in the World Cup, the whole country celebrated and had a three-day holiday.

Even in the game, they lost badly.

However, just this one goal made them ecstatic like a spring breeze.

Perhaps, the "1" of the Chinese team is still waiting.

……

Today is He Yu's birthday, it's funny to say, 41 years old.

The oldest player in this World Cup will still not play in this game.

In his own words:

"I would like to be a fan and wait for that moment."

He watched the progress of the game from the sidelines today, and his eyes would look to the box stands on the side of the court from time to time.

Ludovica was there, watching him...

For He Yu, no matter what the result of this match is, he will choose to retire.

This can be regarded as the last official game of his career, the last 90 minutes.

There is reluctance in my heart, but also unwillingness.

But when he saw Ludovica's appearance, he felt a lot more at ease.

Perhaps, it's time to think carefully about how to spend the rest of my life.

……

Some professional clubs have invited him and offered him the position of goalkeeper coach or even assistant coach, but he has not accepted.

For him, football is only suitable for playing, and he is only suitable for competition.

It's not that he doesn't know how to be a coach, but that he doesn't agree.

His old friend Wu Yao also proposed to let He Yu do business with him after he retired.After all, Wu Yao's "Don't Go to Hot Pot Restaurant" is also a very popular brand now.

Likewise, He Yu declined.

It's not that I can't, it's that I don't want to.

……

"Ugh!"

When Li Jun made a very beautiful pass, he was kicked away by the center Zhang Yulin of the Chinese team.

The string hanging on He Yu's heart was tensed for a while, and then relaxed again.

Whenever the Chinese team had a chance to shoot, He Yu was very nervous, his clenched fists were already glowing red.

But as opportunities are wasted again and again, this feeling is even more tantalizing.

……

Perhaps it is the players of the Chinese team today who let go of the pressure and only want to do one thing.

Lin Liangmin on the left took the ball and ran down the bottom...

Zhang Yulin in the middle is also approaching the restricted area in Austria.

On the other side, Li Junchuang even ran to the middle.

He is the captain, the first pillar of the team, he wants to score a goal more than anyone else...

Lin Liangmin continued to hold the ball, changed direction slightly, and walked into the penalty area.

Facing the Austrian defender, a flash, very beautiful!

However, perhaps because of his excitement, he didn't notice the two teammates in the middle who were trying to pack.

My head is hot!
After flashing a gap, he pulled his leg and kicked him...

The ball is half high and flies towards the goal!
Austrian goalkeeper Bastian Geiss noticed the shot in the first instant.

Leaning to the right, he flew out smoothly.

On the goal line, with his right hand, he patted the ball with one hand!

It was such an instant, the reaction speed, even He Yu who was sitting on the sidelines had to applaud.

But He Yu still suppressed his emotions and just clapped his hands...

Although Gase was his former junior, he was still considered a half-disciple.

But at this moment, he would rather Gase make a mistake.

However, Gase was the one who stood by his side and watched him keep the goal for two or three years.

At this level, he still learned the essence of He Yu.

……

After Gase got up, he grabbed the ball, and then directly threw the ball with his hands, and threw the ball out.

Austria's counterattack immediately started.

In the half of the Chinese team, there are only three people.

For a while, they played more and less, and the ball quickly passed the midfield and approached the goal of the Chinese team...

The central defender, the high-altitude wing, was dragged to the end.

He was slowly pulling back and observing the situation.

One Austrian player holds the ball in the middle, and another wide player gallops to the left, maintaining the same level as the high-altitude wing.

At the goalkeeper position, Guo Xiangmeng has withdrawn from the penalty spot and is preparing for the penalty area.

The ball is so fierce that he may need to abandon the goal and go out to block it at any time.

It's just that he was waiting for an opportunity.

……

The ball-holding striker in Austria doesn't seem to want to spend more time with the high-altitude wing.

He watched from the corner of his eyes, and knocked the ball out with a very subtle movement.

The ball, rolling forward diagonally...

It happened to pass by the high-altitude wing and missed it!

At this time, the Austrian wide player accelerated sharply and was running forward, intending to catch up with the ball.

Not offside!

Gao Altitude Wing could only turn around immediately and run behind him.

……

It was also at this time that Guo Xiangmeng made a brave choice the moment he saw the ball pass...

With one kick, the door is abandoned!

The rolling line of the ball is towards the area a little to the right of his penalty area.

That Austrian player also put in a slash...

Two people and the ball, on the three-point-one line, are doing a contest of speed and passion.

At this moment, even He Yu got up.

In his opinion, it was really bold to do so, but if it was him, he would definitely choose to attack.

……

The ball goes into the box...

People enter the penalty area, stretch their legs...

Guo Xiangmeng threw herself sideways, lying on her side...

"Snapped!"

It all came together...

"beep!"

The referee blew his whistle and trotted over...

Finger at the 12-yard dot, and took out a red card from his pocket...
