Chapter 1 The Longsha in May 1st

Changsha on May 1st. Many people were still considering where to spend their seven-day May Day holiday, but the fans already had a common goal: to go to the Helong Stadium in Changsha to watch the game and cheer for the Chinese National Olympic Team together.

All 60,000 tickets for the game had been sold out a week before the match. Despite this, there were still many people asking for tickets around the stadium, no matter the price. Ordinary tickets had been炒 (chao - speculated) up to 400 yuan, and the most expensive ones had skyrocketed to 1,800 yuan each, yet they were still in short supply. The scalpers must have been ecstatic.

Niu Jianhua, Lao Niu (Old Niu) was the secretary-general of the Hunan Fan Association, an ordinary low-level cadre in a factory. At the age of forty-three, he had been watching football for more than twenty years. After Chinese football became professional, he appeared in stadiums all over the country. It was a pity that Hunan never had its own Jia A (First Division) team, which meant that even though he was famous among fans across the country, he could never cheer for his own team. He joked that he was the Giggs and Shevchenko of the fans, unable to represent the national team and win glory for the country in major international competitions.

His rich experience made him a leader among Hunan fans, and he organized all the Hunan fan activities. This time, when the National Olympic Team came to Changsha to play, he naturally did his best to organize a cheering squad of more than 2,000 fans. They wore the same clothes, shouted the same slogans, acted in unison, and followed the same commands to create a super home field for the National Olympic Team. For this day, these fans had spent a month training on weekends! It was impossible not to admire the Chinese fans, who are the most lovable people in Chinese football.

At the same time, two weeks ago, Lao Niu published an open letter in the local media in Changsha, calling on fans who came to watch the game to wear white clothes, sing loudly, shout, and applaud as much as possible to create a home atmosphere for the National Olympic Team. Later, this letter was published by *Titan Sports*, which is headquartered in Changsha, and quickly received support from fan groups across the country. They guaranteed that in the Helong Stadium on May 1st, they would wear the same clothes and act in unison. In addition to the five-star red flag and slogan images, they would not hang those advertising banners. At that time, we will not see those "certain fan association" or "certain company cheering group" banners, which are very "Chinese characteristics."

These past two days, Lao Niu had been extremely busy, and his work and rest schedule had been completely disrupted. He met with the heads of several fan associations who had arrived early and discussed how to maximize the characteristics of the large number of Chinese fans in the game to cheer for the National Olympic Team. In the end, everyone unanimously elected Lao Niu as the chief commander of the fans for this battle in Changsha. All performances before entering the stadium, performances after entering the stadium, singing the national anthem, applauding, and creating human waves would be under Lao Niu's command.

Lao Niu did not decline, patted his chest and guaranteed that he would do a good job and not embarrass the Chinese in front of the Korean "Red Devils" cheerleading squad.

In addition, a "Watch the National Olympics, Cheer Together" event that he launched with the help of the Changsha Football Association was also going very smoothly. The Changsha Fan Association printed 60,000 copies of a small fan booklet at its own expense and sold them with the tickets. It detailed some common sense and precautions for fans to cheer, as well as some classic anecdotes about cheering methods. With the hot sales of tickets, the exquisitely crafted and unique fan booklet was also very popular, and there were even many people who specifically sought to buy it.

This morning, the last batch of fan groups who came to Changsha to cheer also arrived in Changsha. Lao Niu personally led people to pick them up and arranged for them. Then he rushed back to the Fan Association to check the final preparations.

Thus, everything was ready, waiting for the whistle at 6:30 p.m.

And Lao Niu, who had been working hard for more than a month, could lie down on the sofa in the Fan Association office and take a nap.

Changsha on May 1st was a bit cool, which was good weather for playing football. The city began to implement traffic control on special sections of the road from 3:00 p.m., and some places completely prohibited motor vehicles from passing. In order to avoid this traffic control, many fans began to head to the Helong Stadium after lunch. Despite this, the huge flow of people still caused a certain degree of traffic jam within five kilometers of the stadium. Many people had to abandon their cars and walk to their destination.

The most attractive of these were naturally the cheering squads from fan associations all over the country. They did not take cars, but all marched in formation to the stadium, singing, shouting slogans, and waving national flags all the way, neat and uniform, and showing great quality.

Whether driving or walking, as long as they saw the national flag in the car or in hand, they would smile knowingly and greet each other. At this time, on the road leading to the Helong Stadium, there was no distinction between rich and poor, no distinction between age and gender, and no distinction between regional dialects. Whether you are rich or poor, male or female, old or young, speaking "阿拉" (ala - Shanghai dialect for "I") or "睇波" (tai bo - Cantonese for "watch football"), everyone is a fan, and everyone is here to cheer for the Chinese team.

What kind of magic is it that brings these people from all over the world, who do not know each other, together and fight side by side for ninety minutes? It's football.

When the flow of people finally converged around the Helong Stadium, a grand event began. Fans speaking different dialects showed their feelings to their heart's content. They beat drums and gongs, they sang and danced. They didn't care about the eyes of others, because they wanted to pass this happy and proud mood to everyone, including the audience in front of the TV.

If you don't watch the game on the spot, you will never be able to understand what a "true fan" is and what a "die-hard fan" is. They are the cornerstone of Chinese football and the hope.

The climax of this pre-match performance was brought by a group of fans from Shaoshan, Hunan. When this group of people carried a huge portrait of Mao Zedong in front of everyone, everyone cheered. In the hearts of many Chinese people, Mao Zedong's portrait is more effective than the runes written by Taoist priests. He is protecting everything in China from above, naturally including football.

Long live Mao Zedong! Long live the National Olympic Team!

Xiang Tao, who could not participate, still stood neatly dressed in the hotel lobby to see his teammates off. Seeing Yang Pan coming out of the elevator, he shouted to Yang Pan, "Hey! Yang Pan, aim accurately when you shoot! Don't just aim for people's crotches!" Obviously, this was sarcasm. Li Yongle had slightly modified Yang Pan's words from yesterday and spread them widely: Yang Pan was going to make the Koreans have no descendants!

The other teammates in the lobby laughed, and Yang Pan cursed at Xiang Tao a little embarrassedly, "Stay in the hotel honestly!" Then he strode towards the bus outside the door.

"Hehe! Take it easy, Yang Pan! Don't make it too obvious!" Xiang Tao obviously did not intend to let Yang Pan go and continued to "remind" him from behind.

Yang Pan put his hands behind his back and gave Xiang Tao two raised middle fingers.

Wang Yu walked behind Xiang Tao and kicked his butt: "It seems the AFC's ban on you for three games is too little! If you go to the Olympic Games, won't you lose all of China's face?"

Xiang Tao replied fiercely to Wang Yu, "None of your business! You should deal with your Park Ji-sung. This time, without me behind you to clean up the mess, be careful, hey!"

Li Yongle stepped forward and patted Wang Yu: "Let's go, get on the bus." Then he turned to Xiang Tao and said, "Are you depressed because you can't play? Hehe, don't worry, get enough rest now and show your power in Athens in August."

Xiang Tao watched as his teammates boarded the bus one after another, and then the white bus with the Chinese flag slowly drove away, heading towards the Helong Stadium. He sighed like a deflated ball.

"Who said I care?" He looked down at his match equipment, jacket, jersey, and shoes, as if they were mocking him.

※※※

The match started at 6:30 p.m., and the Chinese team arrived at the Helong Stadium at 5:00 p.m. Half an hour before them, the Korean team had already arrived. At that time, there were still many fans lingering outside the stadium. Some fans seemed to be waiting specifically for the arrival of the Korean team. However, don't think that they were Korean supporters. When the Korean team really arrived, these fans excitedly shook out the banners they had prepared for a long time. They were written in both Chinese and Korean: "Now it's your turn!"

Chinese fans used this method to vent the bad breath that had been accumulating in their chests for more than twenty years. It felt like breathing fresh air for the first time in more than twenty years.

This naturally made the Korean team very unhappy. Koreans, from players to coaches, from the Football Association to reporters and fans, were still habitually stuck before March 3rd. They believed that it was just an ordinary victory and did not think that it might be a victory that would break the traditional pattern of Asian football. Zhang Jun's injury made them even happier. Some Korean media even gloated and commented that Zhang Jun's injury was his retribution. "Who told him to be so rampant when playing against our Great Republic of Korea?" a reporter wrote maliciously.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why the Korean team still shouted the slogan "Take Down China" on the road game against the Chinese team, who had won all four matches. On the one hand, for the sake of qualifying, this match must be won in order to keep the suspense of qualifying until the last round. On the other hand, out of national self-esteem and the history of Sino-Korean battles, they would not allow the absolute advantage of Korean football over Chinese football to end in the hands of their National Olympic Team.

So after arriving in Changsha, the Korean team behaved very actively. Whether it was adapting to the venue or training, they worked very hard. At the same time, Korean students and Korean companies in Changsha would also go to cheer for the Korean team during training.

But on the day of the match, the Korean fans behaved very cleverly. The fans of both sides did not have any form of conflict. Faced with the enthusiastic Chinese fans outside the stadium, thousands of Korean fans quietly entered and took their seats from the entrance specially arranged for them. Among these thousands of Korean fans, eight hundred "Red Devils" cheerleaders came specifically from the Korean team. They were the main force of the Korean fans. Obviously, they believed that the match was the best stage to show the strength of both sides, and the conflict before that was really unnecessary.

The arrival of the Chinese team later set off a small climax outside the stadium. Those fans who had not yet entered the stadium stayed specifically to wait for the Chinese team, hoping to witness these young heroes, the hope of Chinese football, as soon as possible. They put up all kinds of banners to support the Chinese team.

"China Team, Victory is Certain!"

This should be the most slogans that have been seen, shouted, and heard. In the past, there was some irony, but now it is different. This sentence has finally restored its original appearance: China Team, Victory is indeed Certain!

Some National Olympic team members also waved to the fans outside the window, which immediately caused cheers outside.

Only Yang Pan wore an MP3 player and closed his eyes to rest in the back of the bus, with a serious face, ignoring everything that happened outside.

Despite this, there were still many young girls screaming outside the car: "So cool!"

Zhang Jun is gone, and Yang Pan is now the number one star of the Chinese team. But it is a pity that the Chinese Gemini in Europe cannot reunite in the National Olympic Team--Zhang Jun is likely to miss the Athens Olympic Games, and this is also the last performance of this National Olympic Team.

When the Chinese team entered the field to warm up, the Korean team had finished warming up and withdrew from the field. Only a few Korean staff members stood on the sidelines, watching the Chinese team warm up with great interest.

Led by Hu Li, the entire National Olympic Team appeared on the field, which caused the first climax in the stands of the Helong Stadium.

Yang Pan was the most popular figure, and every action he made would cause cheers from the fans in the stands. Even more so, the following two slogans were put up: "The Chinese Dragon soars in the Netherlands, and shows his power in the UEFA Cup. Zhang Jun's sword slays the soul; the heavy artillery bombs Siena, and the tiger's roar shakes Serie A. Yang Pan, the God of War, is reincarnated!"

This shows the status of the two in the hearts of Chinese fans: one is the Chinese Dragon, and the other is the reincarnation of the God of War.

After completing all the warm-up exercises as required, the National Olympic Team will also withdraw from the stadium to do the final pre-match preparation work. But Yang Pan didn't seem to want to leave like this. He looked at the football under his feet, and then looked at the goal thirty meters away.

I always have to do something to express it, right?

"Yang Pan..." Li Yongle wanted to call Yang Pan to leave together, but he saw Yang Pan poke the football forward, then take a run-up, swing his leg, and shoot hard!

The football flew straight to the goal, then passed through the goal line and slammed into the net.

Only then did Yang Pan turn around and walk towards Li Yongle, and then said to Li Yongle, who was stunned in place, "Let's go, back to the locker room."

The pre-match warm-up is over.

※※※

Due to Zhang Jun's absence, Qiu Suhui had to adjust the formation to 451, letting Li Jie act as the arrow character in front, setting up double defensive midfielders, and Wang Liang, who was more stable in defense, returned to the right back position, and Zhang Kun from Dalian filled the vacancy of left back Xiang Tao.

Qiu Suhui could see that Yang Pan's desire to score goals has been rising recently. Whether in Bologna or in the National Olympic Team's usual training, his initiative to shoot has gradually increased. This is a good phenomenon, and Qiu Suhui decided to make full use of it. He told Yang Pan not to blindly go to the bottom line in the match. After breaking through with speed, he could choose to cut inside and then shoot. Try to shoot accurately, within the range of the goal frame, so that even if the first shot does not go in, there is still a chance to make a follow-up shot.

And Li Jie's main role is to pull and run in the front, attracting the opponent's attention and creating space for Yang Pan.

Considering that Yang Pan's main activity range is on the right side, it is not easy for the opponent to send heavy troops to deal with one person, so Yang Pan should have many opportunities, it depends on how he seizes them. After all, he is not a striker, and he will be lacking in seizing opportunities.

The Chinese team has a very good chance of winning this match, Qiu Suhui thought with satisfaction, looking at the high-spirited players.

"CCTV5, CCTV5, good evening, audience friends! You are now watching the Athens Olympic Games Asian Qualifiers Group A, the match between the Chinese team and the Korean team at home! This match is being held at the Helong Stadium in Changsha, Hunan. Before this, although the Chinese team has won all four matches and there should be no problem with qualifying, the historical origins of football between China and South Korea have still attracted countless people's attention. The two teams also attach great importance to it and have recalled all overseas players that can be recalled. Today is the first day of the May Day holiday, so we can see the five-star red flag flying in the stands that are packed to capacity. According to our visual estimation, the Helong Stadium, which can accommodate 60,000 people, has probably poured in nearly 70,000 fans! Changsha fans are using their own practical actions to cheer for the Chinese team!"

"Now the players from both sides are coming out! There is a huge cheer in the stadium!"

Yang Pan, as the captain, was the first person to appear for the Chinese team. Behind him was goalkeeper Sima Hongxin, and next to him was the captain of the Koreans, No. 2 Cao Bingju, a one-meter-eighty-seven center back. But Yang Pan looked straight ahead and stepped into the stadium with his head held high, leading the starting players to receive the cheers of the audience.

The players from both sides quickly stood still. They stood in a row on either side of the three referees, waiting for the upcoming national anthem ceremony. First, the national anthem of the away team South Korea was played. The Chinese fans were silent, and only a few hundred Korean fans sang their national anthem loudly. Maintaining silence when the opponent's national anthem is played is the most basic courtesy and common sense. It is not worth it for the Chinese fans to disagree with the Koreans at this time. Of course, it is hard to say when the Japanese team comes.

After the Korean national anthem, there was a brief cheer in the stadium, and then a strong baritone voice came from the broadcast: "Now play the national anthem of the People's Republic of China!"

"Arise! Ye who refuse to be slaves! With our flesh and blood, let us build our new Great Wall!"

Nearly 70,000 Chinese fans followed the music and sang "The March of the Volunteers", the momentum was enough to make anyone's blood boil.

Yang Pan clenched his fists. This was the first match he represented the National Olympic Team in. It was false to say that he was not nervous, but there was more excitement and excitement.

Tens of thousands of people sang the national anthem and blew the horn of the charge, and we are the protagonists on this stage. We attract everyone's attention, cheer for us, and cheer for us!

Yes, this is our home field!

※※※

After a set of prescribed procedures such as tossing a coin, choosing a side, shaking hands, and exchanging team flags, the starting eleven of both sides stood on the field, lined up in their respective formations.

The match is about to begin.

The referee looked at the fourth official, he was waiting for instructions from outside the field. The fourth official gave him a thumbs-up, indicating that the match could begin.

The referee looked down at the two stopwatches on his left and right wrists, then he stretched out his hands in the same direction, and there was a crisp whistle!

"The match begins!"

※※※

Xiang Tao was sitting in his own room in the hotel watching the live TV broadcast. When the national anthem was played, he stood in front of the TV like any other National Olympic team member, covering the national flag on his chest with his right hand, and singing the national anthem loudly.

Even after the national anthem was played, he jumped twice, like he usually did on the field, and then made two strange cries, which were his own warm-up activities.

It wasn't until the match started that he seemed to return to reality and sat on the bed to watch TV a little dejectedly.

Then he saw Li Jie's attempt to score in front of the goal was actually high. "Damn it! Little Li, you can't even score this kind of goal! This is already the second time, right? I'll make sure you die miserably when you go back!" Xiang Tao pointed at the TV and cursed, which happened to be a close-up of Li Jie, who was covering his head with both hands in frustration.

"At the very beginning of the match, the Chinese team launched an effective attack. Yang Pan's cross from the right was timely and accurate, but Li Jie's header went over the crossbar!"

"Well, he jumped a little too early, maybe he's not familiar with Yang Pan's cross yet."

"I was thinking, if Zhang Jun was here, this goal might have gone in."

※※※

There was a sigh in the Helong Stadium. How great it would be if this goal went in!

"Well done!"

"Good shot!"

"Go, National Olympic Team!"

After the sigh, there was a huge cheer.

Yang Pan clapped his hands and shouted loudly to Li Jie, "It's okay! There are still eighty minutes! We have plenty of opportunities!"

This was the first time he was the captain of the National Olympic Team, but Yang Pan was as skilled as a veteran.

Perhaps fans with good memories will definitely not forget that in the first group match of the Chinese team, when they played against the Korean team, Li Jie also had a header that went wide of the goal as soon as he came up. Although he didn't score, it allowed the Chinese team to finally win the crucial first battle with a score of 3:0, and broke the strange circle of "never winning against Korea" in Chinese football for more than 20 years.

So in this match, we have the same start. Will we have the same ending?

※※※

Korean coach Kim Ho-kon was very happy that the Chinese team was missing Zhang Jun. After all, a toothless tiger is no different from a cat. As for the extremely powerful Yang Pan that is rumored to be outside, in his opinion, he is just an assist player who likes to be active on the right side and cannot become a great weapon. Without Zhang Jun, no matter how good his passing is, it can only be wasted by that No. 9 silly big guy. His two Serie A goals? This can't explain anything. An excellent coach will not blindly believe in a player's strength based on the player's excellent performance in one match.

The truly dangerous one in the Chinese team right now is that No. 15 Li Yongle.

Kim Ho-kon had to admit that he had misjudged him before. That No. 15 is the core of the Chinese team. Whether it is offense or defense, he will appear and take on the role of commander. He is an excellent defensive midfielder, an all-around player.

Therefore, he asked the Korean team to take special care of Li Yongle, double-team him, and one of them should stay close to him when Li Yongle is attacking, and not let him pass the ball comfortably. As long as the central nervous system of the Chinese team is cut off, the Chinese team will inevitably fall into a situation of fighting on their own. At that time, they will be defeated one by one, and victory will surely belong to Korea.

This is Korean coach Kim Ho-kon's wishful thinking. It should be said that he thinks pretty well, but he is a bit too idealistic. Are the other members of the Chinese team fools? Watching Li Yongle being double-teamed without going to support him?

The current National Olympic Team is a real team, a whole, as solid as a rock.

As expected, Li Yongle was surrounded by the Koreans after getting the ball, but Wang Yu shouted from behind, and Li Yongle took advantage of the opponent's defender's inattention and passed the ball with his heel to Wang Yu, who was catching up behind him.

Because Li Yongle attracted two opponents by himself, Wang Yu, who had inserted from the back, was not defended by anyone for a while, allowing him to pass the midfield calmly with the ball. Then he looked up to find someone and found that Yang Pan was raising his hand for the ball on the right side. He was about to pass the ball over, but found that Li Yongle had already accelerated and shook off the two Korean players and was running towards him. He did not hesitate and passed the ball to Li Yongle who was coming towards him, and he let go slightly, blocking the pursuer's path, forcing the person to go around a little, thereby widening the distance from Li Yongle.

Li Yongle did not continue to dribble the ball. He flicked the ball with the outside of his right foot, and the football drew an arc towards the Chinese left side. There was no one there.

Was it a passing error?

No, Zhao Pengyu is approaching the football at high speed! Yang Pan is not the only fast runner in the Chinese team! Since both wings are to fly together, how can we ignore Zhao Pengyu on the left?

At the same time, Korean center back Park Rong-ho also rushed towards the ball at full speed. He wanted to directly destroy the ball out of bounds.

Li Jie was already inserting into the penalty area. Now is the Chinese team's attacking time.

Zhao Pengyu is indeed fast. Although Park Rong-ho flew to tackle, he still let him grab the ball a little earlier. The football dodged Park Rong-ho's tackle and rolled towards the baseline. And Zhao Pengyu staggered a little, passed Park Rong-ho who had slipped out of bounds, and chased after the football.

"Zhao Pengyu caught up with the football, he crosses hard!"

The football was smashed into the penalty area by Zhao Pengyu. Li Jie jumped high. He was almost a head taller than Cao Bingju in the air, but he did not hit the ball. The football slipped over his head!

Who is at the back post?

There was no one at the back post, and the Korean defender headed the football out of the penalty area.

But when the football flew outside the penalty area, a person appeared there.

"Yang Pan!"

Yang Pan completely opened his right leg, and then his body tilted to the left, almost parallel to the ground! He is going to shoot hard!

"Be careful of him..."

Cao Bingju's reminder hadn't finished yet, Yang Pan had already hit the football! He used all his strength on this shot, so that his whole person fell to the ground after shooting.

The football flew straight to the far corner of the Korean goal without a trace of spin, like a cannonball out of its chamber. This is the first roar of the heavy artillery today!

Kim Young-kwang futilely pounced on the football, but he definitely couldn't pounce on it. The football hit the lower edge of the crossbar, then bounced to the ground, and then bounced out!

Did the ball not go in?

Li Jie甩 (shuai - flung) off Choi Won-kwon, who was entangled with him, and dove for a header!

The football flew towards the goal again, but this time Cao Bingju made a great contribution. He flew over and also used his head to head the football out of the baseline.

The ball did not go in!

"Too bad! The ball didn't go in... Wait! The Chinese team's players surrounded the referee, what seem to be saying? Let's take a look at what happened at that moment just now?"

The TV replayed Yang Pan's shot.

"A very fast shot! The football smashed into the lower edge of the crossbar, then bounced to the ground... Hmm?"

Here, the TV replayed four times in the way of rewinding and then going forward.

"Maybe the Chinese team is appealing to the referee, thinking that the ball has already gone in, but... It's too fast, we can't be sure with a high-speed camera whether this ball bounced inside the goal line, or just on the goal line?"

Such an appeal is definitely meaningless. Even the camera cannot capture that moment, let alone the referee with mortal eyes. But Li Jie and Wang Yu were still excitedly saying something to the referee.

The TV replayed again - it's great to have TV broadcasts, at least it allows the audience to understand many things as soon as possible - this time the replay was no longer Yang Pan's shot, but everything that happened in the penalty area before his shot. Zhao Pengyu passed the football into the penalty area, Li Jie jumped high, but he did not hit the ball, because... Cao Bingju had a very concealed pushing motion with his hand after Li Jie jumped up. It was this motion that caused Li Jie to lose his balance in the air and also lost the opportunity to head the ball.

"Ah! This is a foul! But, the referee didn't see it, and doesn't intend to change the penalty. He just told the Chinese team to take a corner kick and not delay the game time."

"There is really no way to do this, Cao Bingju's actions are too concealed, the referee didn't pay attention at the time, and it is impossible to change the penalty now. The Chinese team wants to win this match at home too much, so they are a bit impatient. They should adjust their mentality as soon as possible and play the remaining seventy minutes of the match well."

Li Jie walked towards the goal while cursing, preparing to fight for a header. Cao Bingju came up to defend him again. One of his hands was raised high, and the other hand was tightly grabbing Li Jie's clothes below. This made Li Jie very uncomfortable. He protested loudly to the referee, and at this time Cao Bingju would cleverly raise his hands to show his innocence.

The referee was too lazy to pay attention to this kind of small entanglement. If these things were to be called penalties, then fifty penalties could be called in a match. He just whistled to let the Chinese team take a corner kick.

Yang Pan kicked the ball to the front post, and Li Jie in the middle suddenly accelerated and rushed forward. Cao Bingju's hand was still tightly pulling his jersey.

Li Jie jumped up, and Cao Bingju's hand did not loosen.

With a "tear" sound, Li Jie performed a powerful lion's head shake, and the football flew into the Korean goal past the head of the defender at the front post!

Did the ball go in?

"The ball went in! The ball went in!! No. 9 Li Jie! He headed a strong header! Broke the deadlock on the field in the twenty-second minute!"

Li Jie ran around with his arms outstretched, hugging Yang Pan at the corner flag.

Other teammates also rushed up to express "congratulations."

"Hey! Little Li, you're exposing yourself!"

"Haha! That's great! It's being seen clearly!"

"I saw your nipples!"

"Sure enough, it's a very domineering header. Even the clothes are torn apart, super Saiyan!"

"Hehe, I guess the opponent's goalkeeper must have been fascinated by Little Li's bodybuilding muscles, so he didn't react!"

……

In the teammates' chattering, Li Jie realized that his shirt was torn all the way from the armpit to the hem. The tattered jersey was fluttering in the air with his movements, which was a bit like the appearance of the "Beggar Gang Elder", and the "scenery" inside was naturally seen clearly.

"Ah! My jersey!"

"Don't shout, go change your clothes quickly!" Yang Pan patted Li Jie on the back with a smile.

※※※

"The fighting in the penalty area just now was very intense, and even Li Jie's jersey was torn, but he still headed in a goal, a powerful center forward, haha! But now it seems he is fighting with his jersey..."

Wang Jianxiang joked, watching Li Jie put his jersey on in a flustered manner.

The current jerseys are designed for easy perspiration, so in addition to the outer layer, there is also a sweat-absorbing vest inside. The vest absorbs the sweat from the body, and then the air flows when the athletes exercise through the hollow fabric, evaporating the sweat. This will lower the player's body temperature and help them perform at a higher level.

This effect is good, but it makes it very troublesome to wear, especially in an emergency. Li Jie repeatedly wore it four times before putting the clothes on his body and returning to the field.

The fans in the stadium cheered for the tall center forward who scored the first goal, thanking him for his efforts and the effort to tear the jersey apart.

"The match restarts! The Chinese team leads the Korean team 1:0 in their home field! The match has only been going on for twenty-two minutes! The Chinese team's situation is very good! They have hope of continuing to defeat their old rival the Korean team at home!"
