"Good audience friends, this long-awaited Club World Cup match is about to begin!" Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV Sports Channel, said excitedly!
"China's Guangzhou Evergrande played against Germany's Bayern Munich!" His commentator partner Xu Yang also said, "This is a rare occasion for us to see a Chinese Super League club meet the top European teams in an official match! Both sides are history This is the first time I played in the Club World Cup last year! Of course, I’m talking about the Club World Cup after the restructuring, the previous Toyota Cup doesn’t count!”
The two commentators looked a little excited. This was the first time in history that such a game had happened.Before that, the Chinese Super League could play against European teams in some commercial games. In such games, how much strength the opponent can exert depends on the mood of the opponent.
But this time is different. This is the Club World Cup. In an official game, a mature team like Bayern will not have the mentality like in a commercial game. They will definitely show their true strength.
And in the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League, Guangzhou Evergrande, the overlord of the Chinese Super League, can show what kind of performance when facing a real fight against top European teams like Bayern Munich?
This question is not only expected by the two commentators, but also by the fans in China, and even in the stands, there are many expectant eyes
Hamenez is a scout, to be precise, a technical official working for the La Liga team Atletico Madrid.He was assigned by Atletico Madrid coach Simeone to observe the game.
To be precise, he was observing a person, his eyes were fixed on the players on both sides who were lining up to play, he quickly found his target, the Guangzhou Evergrande striker wearing the NO.18 red jersey, averaged Efficient shooter who scored more than one goal.
In fact, Atlético de Madrid's Asian scouting department submitted Li Qingshan's scouting report to the team's coaching staff very early on.However, since Li Qingshan was playing in Asia, and the opponent was from Manchester United, Simeone still decided to be cautious.In this game, Hamenez's task is to observe how Li Qingshan can perform against a real European team.
Many forwards are jokingly called "bad food forwards", which means that although this type of forwards can score goals in some low-level games, they are blind when facing strong teams.
Therefore, it is necessary to look at Li Qingshan's ability to fight tough battles.
After finding his target, Hamenez took out his notebook, and he looked left and right at the stadium that was not completely full.Perhaps he was not the only scout on the scene who came to observe Li Qingshan.
Hamenez guessed right. With the development of China's economy, the Chinese market is a coveted piece of fat for many European teams.If a high-level Chinese player can be introduced, it can not only improve the strength of the team, but also help the team develop the Chinese market. How could smart Europeans not think of such a deal.
Think about the promotion of the NBA in China, you can see how important Yao Ming is.Before that, it's not that there were no Chinese players to develop in the NBA, but why is the effect not as good as Yao Ming?Without him, only strength ears.
Of course, European teams also know this truth. If it is just to introduce a Chinese player, they can buy a Chinese player at any time, even a player at the international level, and put it on the team's bench.But Chinese fans are not fools, and of course they won't buy it.
Therefore, the appearance of Li Qingshan has long been targeted by many teams, especially some middle and lower level teams in La Liga and Bundesliga.
However, Raiola will not simply send Li Qingshan to a downstream team and let it go. In his eyes, Li Qingshan is simply a golden mountain covered in RMB. How could he be willing to be so perfunctory?
Khamenez was holding a pen and paper, and beside him was an assistant holding a video camera. The camera only focused on Li Qingshan during the whole process.
He looked at Li Qingshan who was stepping on the ball and standing in the center circle. He wondered what kind of performance this tall center forward could show in this game?
In the first half of the game, Guangzhou Evergrande took the lead in kick-off.
After Li Qingshan kicked the ball back to Kongka behind him, Duan Xuan's voice came from the TV.
"CCTV, this is CCTV. What you are watching is the live broadcast of the [-] Club World Cup semi-final match between Guangzhou Evergrande and Bayern Munich. The commentary for this game is directed by Xu Yangxu and I, Duan Xuan, will bring it."
"Let's first take a look at the starting lineup for this match. Guangzhou Evergrande's starting goalkeeper is Zeng Cheng, and the defense line from right to left is Zhang Linpeng, Feng Xiaoting, Jin Yingquan, and Sun Xiang."
But when he hadn't finished reading the starting list, things started to happen on the field.
After receiving the ball, Kongka continued to pass it back, all the way back to the feet of goalkeeper Zeng Cheng.
Of course, the Bayern Munich players will not be polite. They pressed heavily, intending to regain the ball, and then use their powerful offense to tear apart Guangzhou Evergrande's defense and end the suspense of the game as soon as possible.
Facing the press, Zeng Cheng passed the ball to Kongka who returned to the other side to respond.
After receiving the ball from the wing, Kongka swayed away from Gotze's press.Then directly launched a long pass.
The football flew in mid-air towards Bayern Munich's penalty area at an extremely fast speed.
Li Qingshan has already locked his position, ready to respond to this long pass.Van Buyten came close to him, occupying the position with Li Qingshan.
Before this game, Li Qingshan only listened to Van Buyten but didn't see him, and he didn't have much deep impression on this central defender.
But after seeing the real Van Buyten today, he couldn't help but look at him twice more.It's not that Li Qingshan has never met a central defender taller than him on the football field, but like Van Buyten, not only is he taller than him, but his body is obviously a circle bigger than Li Qingshan!
After Van Buyten posted it, Li Qingshan finally felt the pressure. For the first time, he met someone who was not inferior to him in physical confrontation!
Van Buyten was behind Li Qingshan, squeezing Li Qingshan forward, trying to squeeze Li Qingshan out of position and let the ball pass over their heads.Now the only Guangzhou Evergrande player in the frontcourt is Li Qingshan. As long as he doesn't get the ball, Van Buyten has completed a very successful defense.
In fact, when Van Buyten first posted Li Qingshan, he was surprised.He thought before that with his body that was a circle bigger than Li Qingshan, he should be able to easily gain the upper hand in such a confrontation of strength, but the confrontation between the two of them was actually evenly matched. The two sides seesawed several times around the landing point in a short period of time.
Li Qingshan fought against his opponent again and again, while staring at the football flying in the air.
The confrontation between them seemed very long, but in fact it only took a few seconds. The football passed the middle circle and flew straight in this direction.
Is it too late?
Li Qingshan until, when he was fighting against Van Buyten on one side, the possibility of stopping this fast long pass is very small.It is more likely that he was squeezed and the football flew over the heads of both of them and was directly picked up by their goalkeeper.
Li Qingshan paid attention to the positions of Van Buyten and his partner Boateng behind him.
Take a gamble!
Li Qingshan secretly made up his mind!He stood on the grass with both feet, trying to maintain his balance and position, and then tried to straighten his body.
When the football hit his head, it bounced higher and turned slightly to the left.
Li Qingshan seized the opportunity, turned around directly, then put his legs on the ground, and dived forward! !
Li Qingshan's jumping ability was far beyond Van Buyten's expectations. In the flash, he could only watch Li Qingshan leap forward and hit the football falling from the sky.
Fortunately, because the speed of the ball was slowed down by the previous blocking, Li Qingshan's diving header did not use his strength. Neuer made a flying remedy and pressed the ball under him.
The game just started, Guangzhou Evergrande completed the first shot.
Khamenez wrote the first sentence in his notebook:
Strong physical confrontation ability (compared with Van Buyten in a close-to-body fight), physical and mental flexibility, jumping ability beyond expectations, accurate judgment of landing points, and strong desire to score goals!
