Junior football dream

Chapter 8 The Light of Hope
Chinese people like football, but they don't want to watch Chinese football.Match-fixing, black whistle, fiasco.When a country's football has so many disadvantages, it is not joy to bring people.When the Shandong team lost [-]-[-] in the AFC Champions League, and when the Shenzhen team lost [-]-[-], almost everyone became numb.

"I'd rather pay to watch basketball, table tennis, and never watch football again."

Many people gritted their teeth and said.Among these people, they used to be a solid supporter of Chinese football, and they used to be passionate patriotic fans.One blow is nothing.Two hits, nothing.Three times, it doesn't matter.However, once, again, countless blows have already made them numb.That bleeding heart really couldn't take any more blows, it had withered.

"Those bastards are still shameless. They are both human, so why is there such a big gap!"

Looking at the wonderful games in the major European leagues and the major American leagues, and looking at the teams I support, all people can only feel heartache, heartache, and heartache.

"I won't watch the Chinese team's game from now on!"

Countless fans swear by it.They would rather watch Serie A, La Liga, and other countries' leagues late at night, and never watch the Chinese team's game again.They can only YY in their dreams again and again, and entrust their football-loving heart in other teams.

Lao Zhang is an ordinary football fan. He is over 40 this year, but he is still very enthusiastic about football like a young man.For him, New Year's Eve is not a holiday, only when there is a football match, it is a holiday.Whenever there is an important game, he always stays in front of the TV and watches intently.However, he does not watch every game of the Chinese team.Even if the time was too suitable, it was so suitable that he didn't watch any games.

Because, he once swore: "I will not watch the Chinese team's game in this life."

Today is another big game day.The final of the Copa Libertadores took place at two o'clock in the morning. For him, the number one fan, it was impossible to miss it.

Early in the morning, he turned on the alarm clock, ready to watch the game at night.His wife Xiao Li is a virtuous person and has never complained about him watching football.Although she can't understand football, she still silently understands her husband.Watching the game late at night, she didn't say a word.

Under the influence of his father, Lao Zhang's son Xiao Zhang is also a fan.However, due to the pressure of the entrance examination, he has a lot of exercises to do, and he has no time and it is impossible to have time to watch the football.

Although sometimes he really wants to watch, Xiao Li, who has always supported her husband watching football, will roar like a lioness at this time: "I know watching football! If you don't pass the college entrance examination, you will not be able to ask for food on the street in the future. "

At this time, Xiao Zhang, who has no status at home, can only go back to his room obediently, doing his endless exercises.

At two o'clock in the middle of the night, Lao Zhang was awakened by the alarm clock, opened his sleepy eyes, and turned on the TV in a daze.At this time, in the studio of CCTV, two famous mouthpieces of CCTV were talking endlessly: "Good evening, audiences, now we are going to play the final of the Copa Libertadores, and both sides are from Brazil. The team - Brazil Sao Paulo and Corinthians. The following is the list of players who played, let me tell you...  

When commenting on the striker, CCTV's famous mouth Huang paused, and said in surprise: "Oh, their No. 19, XING ZHOU, is a Chinese?"

At this time, the director also cooperated to cut the camera to Zhou Xing.I saw black hair, black smoke beads, yellow skin, and a Chinese name. All the characteristics showed that he was a Chinese.At the very least, he is also a Brazilian with Chinese ancestry.

Seeing this, Huang Jianxiang hurriedly turned off the microphone, called for an assistant, and wanted to find Zhou Xing's information.After a while, the assistant sent the information.

"Zhou Xing, male, 16 years old. Born in China, he immigrated to Brazil with his parents at the age of three. At the age of 14, he represented the Corinthians team in Brazil. He scored 32 goals in the Brazilian league and was the team's top scorer. In South America In the Libertadores Cup, he ranked first in the scorer list with 15 goals, while the young striker of the Sao Paulo club in Brazil ranked No.14 with 2 goals."

"Born in China, his parents are Chinese nationalities. In this way, he can legally obtain Chinese nationality. However, if he wants to become Chinese nationality, then it is impossible to have Brazilian nationality.

You know, China does not allow dual citizenship. "Thinking of these precious materials, each one is very valuable.

Thinking of this, the two famous mouthpieces of CCTV became excited.Huang Jianxiang said: "This is a moment of historic significance. In the highest league in South America, there are actually Chinese people playing football. At least a few special issues can be prepared."

And Duan Xuan over there also said excitedly: "Yes, it is true. Well, no matter what, Tianxia Football must make an album for him, no, three albums are enough, and it will definitely increase the ratings a lot rate."

But at this time, our protagonist doesn't know what is going on thousands of miles away, and just concentrates on warming up.For the first round of the game, he was also very cautious.

If they can draw with their opponents away, it will be a good start for their team.Perhaps, the club's first Libertadores Cup may be produced.Thinking of this, his blood boiled.

"Oh, the striker is Chinese."

Seeing what the narrator said, Lao Zhang, who was watching TV at home, was startled, and could never take his eyes off the TV.At this time, the fans all over the country watching the game late at night were also shocked, staring at the TV screen tightly to watch the game.

"Buddy, remember me?"

When the two teams shook hands, Zhou Xing smiled and said to Buddy, the top scorer of the Sao Paulo club.When they first met, they were friends.Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, we are still friends.

"Zhou Xing, oh. It's you, you have grown a lot taller. You are the hope of Corinthians, the top scorer! It seems that the top scorer this time is between you and me!"

Buddy hugged this friend warmly and said happily.

"I won't let you, Zhou Xing, the top scorer must be me!" The young Sao Paulo striker said confidently.

Seeing the confidence of the other party, Zhou Xing said with a smile: "Not necessarily, just look at it."

"Have you read the newspaper? Do you know who the goalkeeper of our team is? Seni, he is very good. He not only keeps the goal very well, but also can shoot. If you meet him, you will be in big trouble." Buddy reminded himself kindly friend.

"What are you afraid of? We also have good goalkeepers!"

Zhou Xing pointed to Assunsang at the gate of his team.At this moment, Assuncao was wiping his gloves with a towel in front of the door.This game also has a different meaning to him than in the past. His parents and relatives are all in the stands to watch his game.

The two teams guessed first, Corinthians won the right to serve, while Sao Paulo won the right to pick a side.Amidst the shouts of tens of thousands of spectators, Zhou Xing passed the ball to his defender and started the game.

The game was very fierce. From the very beginning, the two sides fought in the midfield, neither giving up an inch of ground.In the confusion, the Corinthians made a pick pass and divided the ball up the frontcourt.Zhou Xing quickly retreated to take the ball, dodged the pressure of the Sao Paulo players, and took a long shot 35 meters away from the opponent's goal, starting the first shot of the game.

The route of the ball is very tricky, making it difficult for the legendary goalkeeper of the Sao Paulo team to react.Although Nimei fought hard to save, the ball still scraped the goal post and flew into the net.

"GAOLLL!!!!" After only 2 minutes of the game, the Corinthians scored the first goal.After scoring the goal, Zhou Xing was not very excited, but raised his hand happily, meaning that he scored another goal.However, this ball made countless Chinese fans excited.

"Oh my gosh. That's amazing!"

In the studio, I heard the two hosts gasp and cheer for Zhou Xing's goal.This long shot is too high-quality, whether it is speed, power, or angle.As a 16-year-old boy, the quality of his shots was so high that the two well-informed hosts couldn't help but marvel.Coupled with Zhou Xing's identity as a Chinese, they were even more excited.

"My God, is it Chinese?"

Lao Zhang, who was watching TV at home, exclaimed that he spilled all the tea in the cup.For a long time, he has never seen any Chinese show their faces on the football field like this!Whether it is the original Chinese Yang, Sun, Li, Dong, at most they only played a secondary role in the team.

What surprised everyone was still behind.The next game became more intense, and the two teams started a confrontation.However, after conceding the goal, Nimei recovered his bravery and blocked Zhou Xing's threatening shots consecutively.However, every breakthrough by Zhou Xing made a mess of Sao Paulo's defense.His breakthrough and passing are like sharp knives, always threatening the opponent's goal.

Buddy on this side of the court was not idle either. A shot hit the post and flew out of the baseline.The two tricky shots were miraculously saved by Asuncang, which made him extremely frustrated.In this game, the goal guarded by the red-haired boy was also very solid, withstood the opponent's tide of attack in the first 10 minutes.

In the No.201 minute of the first half, Sao Paulo won a free kick in the frontcourt.They took a free kick and hung it into the penalty area of ​​the Corinthians. Buddy rushed to the top with a header and went straight to the goal.Asuncao reacted quickly and hit the ball with his hands.However, Buddy's plug was quick, a header shot, the ball flew from the top of Assuncao's head into the goal of the Corinthians.

One to one, the two teams returned to the starting line.Next, the two teams had offense and defense against each other, but with the performance of their respective goalkeepers, the two teams still drew one to one in the first half.

After a 15-minute break, the two teams started the second half.At the beginning of the second half, the two teams played very conservatively. They just competed in the midfield and did not rush to attack.However, behind the lax surface is hidden murderous intent.

No.603 minutes, seeing that the opponent's defense line was a little slack, Zhou Xing made a long pass and distributed the ball to the left.The team's forward Huth quickly inserted, and before the ball left the bottom line, he made a cross and distributed the ball to the Sao Paulo penalty area.

The Corinthians forward who outflanked the ball at the front point failed to touch the ball and missed this good opportunity to score.However, just when people were regretting, Zhou Xing dodged the opposing defender's position from the back point, and with a powerful header, he hit the far corner of the goal and succeeded.

"Two to one!"

However, in the next game, the Sao Paulo team tied the score before the end with Buddy's long shot in front of the penalty area, making the score two to two.In the first round of the confrontation between the two teams, no one took advantage of the other, and it was a tie.

In the scorer list, Zhou Xing still beat Buddy by one goal and ranked first.All the suspense will have to wait until the second round of the game to be solved at Corinthians' home court.

※※※

"Good job, Zhou Xing."

Buddy smiled and took off his jersey.Zhou Xing also gave Buddy his jersey.The two players who performed best in this game naturally cherish each other and appreciate each other.

The red-haired boy over there, Assuncao, was also chatting happily with the legendary goalkeeper Nimey.After fierce competition, the players of the two teams were still very friendly.

Coach Scolari on the sidelines was also very happy and left the court with a smile.Being able to tie the opponent in the away game is already a very good result for him.

For the players on the field, this is just a more important game.And in faraway China, due to Zhou Xing's existence, countless people were so excited that they couldn't sleep because of this game.

BJ, in the studio of CCTV.After explaining the game, the two hosts were still talking happily.Of course, their topics all revolved around Zhou Xing.

As an ordinary fan, Lao Zhang was too excited to sleep at night, walking back and forth in the room.From this day on, he decided: "As long as there is Zhou Xing's game, no matter what time, he will watch it!" There are still many fans like him, and it is because of Zhou Xing that the hope for Chinese football has begun to ignite again. .

Perhaps, Zhou Xing is the little spark in the darkness.It's just that he, who is far away in Brazil, doesn't know it.
