Football: The immortal legend on the green field

When Shen Bin scored a goal, Roda JC gave up the attack, they wanted to maintain the 2:1 advantage until the end of the game.

Hallam Athletic naturally refused to be eliminated, and they launched a nearly crazy counterattack in the remaining time. However, the weather was fair to both sides. The muddy and slippery field would increase the difficulty of defense, but it would not make the attackers feel much better.

The rest of the game was almost spent on continuous mistakes by both sides. When the referee blew the final whistle, the few away fans cheered.

Few people mentioned the win or loss of this game. Perhaps they have become accustomed to Haarlem losing in recent seasons. The focus of people's discussion was Shen Bin's incredible goal.

His back-heel goal was once again voted the best goal of the week by European media, and some even compared it with Ajax's Rafael van der Vaart's back-heel goal not long ago, and both were named "Scorpion's Tail". However, the Chinese media named it "Dragon's Tail", and they generally thought that the word "scorpion" was not very elegant.

Li Yan has returned to China. He received the relevant reports sent by Cheng Guo and read them carefully several times. Although he is staying in China now, he is still responsible for all reports on European players such as Sun Jihai, Shen Bin, and Deng Zhuoxiang. He has even suggested that the agency send reporters to continue to follow up on players of the right age for next year's World Youth Championship. "Don't think they are not famous now. With Shen Bin, Deng Zhuoxiang, Chen Tao, and Dong Fangzhuo, I believe that the Chinese team will have a chance in the final of the World Youth Championship to be held in the Netherlands next year. They will definitely be famous in the future. By that time, we will have established a good relationship with them, and it will not be difficult to get any first-hand news."

This is what he said to the boss. The next day, the newspaper assigned two reporters to start keeping a close eye on some of the main players in the Asian Youth Championship and send back some articles from time to time. They don't necessarily have to be reported, but mainly to see how the reporters are progressing. Now he doesn't expect his news to increase the circulation of the newspaper, but just wants to lay a good foundation for cooperation.

At present, the reports about Shen Bin and others in China are actually similar and not very readable. How can I stand out in the news reports? How can I attract attention? Li Yan thought a lot, but still got nothing. Today, after reading the various reports sent back by Cheng Guo from the Netherlands and the reaction of the Dutch side, an idea suddenly jumped out.

Where there is a high, there must be a low. This is the law of nature and no one can change it.

Having made up his mind, Li Yan lit a cigarette and began writing quickly on the paper.

Two hours later, he threw away his pen and let out a long sigh. The ashtray beside the manuscript paper was already filled with cigarette butts covered in ash. Every time he wrote about Shen Bin, he always felt so happy and finished it in one go. When he wrote about domestic football, he only felt this way when he exposed some match-fixing and black whistles. Unfortunately, although there are many match-fixing and black whistles in China, there are not many that can be written about. Most of the time, he was depressed like a pregnant woman in labor.

The next day, when the manuscript was handed over to the deputy editor-in-chief for review, he decided to publish it on the second page of Sports Weekly without changing a single word.

“When everyone is caught up in an almost crazy star-making movement, we need to pour cold water on them and treat every professional game of theirs with a calm attitude. When everyone is disappointed and sinking, we also need to light a fire for Chinese football, let them see hope, and see that there are still twin stars shining in the distant Dutch night sky... This paragraph is well written! Xiao Li, you have made significant progress after going to the Netherlands!” The deputy editor-in-chief in charge of reviewing the manuscript said to Li Yan approvingly.

"Then I have to thank you for your training! If I hadn't interviewed Chinese football in depth, I wouldn't have such a deep feeling about Chinese football."

"I'm afraid the feelings are very complicated?" The deputy editor-in-chief looked at Li Yan meaningfully.

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "When you stepped into this door full of hope and longing, you were poured a bucket of cold water on your head. When you are soaked to the skin and everyone is laughing at you, you see the starlight of hope... I think this is how I feel."

"Okay, the starlight of hope! I just hope this starlight doesn't become a shooting star."

Li Yan's cold water titled "Beware of the trap of star-making sports" is still too little to extinguish the prairie fire that has been rapidly burning in the Chinese football circle. All the fans talk about all day is whether Deng Zhuoxiang can become the top scorer in the Dutch second division, as if scoring goals is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables. Can Shen Bin become the assist king, as if other Dutch people are idiots. When will the two join Real Madrid and Barcelona? Complete the leap from ugly duckling to white swan. The market determines everything. In order to cater to readers, the media have also presented various analytical articles and gossip articles to the fans...

Li Yan slapped the newspaper he bought from the newsstand on the table and frowned when he saw the title: "Pure Yang Body - On Shen Bin's Testosterone Levels that Surpass Humans". "Metropolitan Entertainment News! Damn it, Entertainment News, why the hell are you here to join in the fun!"

"According to the news disclosed by the British newspaper The Sun, European football player Shen Bin and Fan Moubing had a few wonderful days while shooting a Coca-Cola commercial. The first time they were together, Fan Moubing was sent to a famous local gynecological hospital in France.

According to the Sun, the reason why the actress surnamed Fan was sent to the hospital was due to Shen Bin's extraordinary personal ability. His testosterone level was as high as 1250. Perhaps readers don't feel much about this value. You should know that the testosterone level of a normal person is about 14-25, and that of a high-physical athlete is between 45-75. Some special people (especially the male protagonists of a certain type of movie) can reach 300. It is incomprehensible that Shen Bin can reach such a high level. It is said that some European porn stars, such as Jordan from the UK, have expressed their love to him, hoping to spend a good night with him.

Our reporter specially interviewed the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Master Shi Yongxin, about Shen Bin's incredible body. According to Master Shi Yongxin, Shen Bin has a pure yang body that only appears once in five hundred years, and he hopes to meet Shen Bin in person.

I hope Shen Bin will give up football and convert to Buddhism. Master Shi Yongxin will teach him Yi Jin Jing and Jiu Yang Sheng Gong. He said that no one has mastered these two Shaolin Temple skills for 700 years. Only a congenital physique like Shen Bin can recreate the glory of ancient Chinese martial arts..."

Li Yan was speechless. What the hell was going on! How could a fake monk like you who cheated people out of money with martial arts novels come out to seek recognition?

Does Shaolin Temple have martial arts now? Damn it! The martial arts schools in Shaolin Temple are run by martial arts enthusiasts from all over the country. They all rely on this fame from novels and movies to make money. The real monks in Shaolin Temple are probably not even able to beat an ordinary strong woman.

You have more than 140 companies, and isn’t it enough that you defraud billions of dollars every year?

Does knowing nothing give you the right to make wild guesses? Football players are attractive with their legs, not... their genitals!

Because of the success of Shen Bin and others in Europe, football now seems to have become a fashion in the country.

If you don't care about football, people will despise you. If you don't express your opinions about football, you are ignorant. The sport that was originally full of masculinity has been mixed up by some vulgar reports and made it neither male nor female. What do they think football is? A prostitute with flirtatious poses?

Li Yan knew that this situation was abnormal. When people who didn't understand football at all and had nothing to do with it got involved, this false prosperity was nothing more than the bubble economy of the year. It was extremely beautiful, but the slightest touch would turn the floor into a mess, and nothing else would be left.
