Chapter 1823 The Bifurcation of the World Line
"Pass the ball! Pass the ball!"
"Hey!"
"Here! Here!"
"Beautiful! That's it!"
There is an intra-squad match open to the media at the training ground of Getafe 1326.
There were many media reporters outside the training ground, most of them Korean reporters.
On the training field, Park Guixian had just scored a goal, and the Korean reporters outside the field burst into excited cheers.
After cheering, someone said excitedly: "Guixian is in very good shape! I wonder if there is a chance to score in the game against the Pirates?"
He seemed to want to use this question to spark a lively discussion among everyone, but unexpectedly, when he said his words, the scene fell silent.
After a few seconds of awkward silence, someone said: "Now is not the time to talk about this..."
"I just said that casually..." The person who asked the question in the first place also started to make excuses for himself.
Then everyone fell into silence again.
Until someone sighed quietly:
"It's really unimaginable that Kyuhyun was considered to be the person who could succeed Park Soon-tae..."
When Park Kyuhyun emerged in South Korea, it was when Park Suntae was playing the main role at Sevilla Navigators. Everyone is optimistic that Park Guixian will fight side by side with Park Soon-tae in the future, and together they will lead Korean football to achieve greater success in the World Cup.
Some people even imagined that the two of them could lead the South Korean team to surpass the fourth place result in the 2002 local World Cup.
Park Guixian at that time really lived up to everyone's expectations.
He was once selected by European media as one of the fifty most anticipated young players under the age of 21.
Although there are fifty people, there are only a few people in Asia who can be selected for this list.
In addition to Park Suntae, Japan is Tatsuya Sugiyama.
As for China?
There is no one in China.
At that time, the Korean media really looked down on Chinese football. They even wrote articles on their own platforms to analyze the reasons why Chinese football was lagging behind.
Calling it analysis is actually ridicule.
The reason why Park Guixian is famous in South Korea, in addition to his good performance on the court, is also related to his participation in the "Kirin Cup", a youth football invitational tournament held in China.
That time, the Korean team won the championship as expected. After Park Guixian won the award, he stepped on the trophy and asked his teammates to take pictures.
This incident aroused the anger of Chinese fans, but won the love and support of Park Guixian from Korean fans. That is when people began to regard Park Guixian as Park Soon-tae's successor.
Although the two people have completely different playing styles and personalities...
But they believe that such Park Guixian can take over the Korean football flag from Park Soontae.
At that time, Chinese football could not hold its head high in front of Korean football.
Even if Park Guixian stepped on the trophy to celebrate, they could only shout and protest.
But he still can't get rid of his "Korean phobia" on the court.
If the development continues normally, Park Guixian should at least be the main player in a strong European team now, right?
Not really.
Park Soon-tae left London Bridge, but no one can continue to carry the banner of Korean football.
Now Park Guixian can play the main role in a mid-to-lower La Liga team like Getafe 1326, which has already made Korean reporters happy.
The world line seems to have begun to bifurcate at the East Asian Cup in 2023...
That East Asian Cup was held in South Korea, and was considered by the Korean media and fans to be the East Asian Cup in which Park Kyi-hyun was crowned.
Before the game, Park Guixian was also very confident. Not only would he lead the South Korean team to win the East Asian Cup, but he would also become the top scorer.
Japan's Tatsuya Sugiyama is his only opponent.
He didn't take the Chinese team, his opponent in the first game of the East Asian Cup, seriously at all.
Not to mention Park Guixian, at that time, few media in South Korea regarded the Chinese team as a threat.
The Chinese Olympic team at that time didn't even have their top star Guan Xinyan, so what threat could it pose?
Although even if Guan Xinyan comes, the Chinese team will not be able to pose a threat to the Korean team...
As a result...who would have thought that there would be an extra young man named "Hu Lai" in that game.
He became a sensation in the entire East Asian football world with a hat trick.
Defeated South Korea, drew with Japan, and won the East Asian Cup championship and the Golden Boot trophy under the eyes of the Koreans.
Achieved his goal for Park Guixian.
Next, all Korean fans and media witnessed with their own eyes how this young man named "Hu Lai" conquered the world step by step.
Hat tricks in the Olympics, hat tricks in the Premier League, hat tricks in the World Cup, La Liga, Champions League, Europa League... every game he has participated in has a record of him completing a hat trick.
Champion after champion after champion.
Golden boots, golden boots, golden boots.
At first, when Hu Lai went to play in the Premier League, the Korean media was still keen to discuss the comparison between Hu Lai and Park Suntae.
The Korean media no longer does this.
Because it is meaningless and can only bring shame on oneself.
They didn't even want to mention Hu Lai's name.
Hu Lai will be reported only when it is absolutely unavoidable.
For example, he scored in forty consecutive league rounds, sixty league goals in a single season, twenty-three Champions League goals in a single season, the fastest hat trick in the history of the Champions League, one hundred and five goals in a natural year, and won the European Ballon d'Or. And World Footballer...
These honors and records, which are enough to be written into the history of world football, have to be reported by the Korean media.
In addition, even if Getafe 1326 is about to face Madrid Pirates at home, they don't want to mention the name of their opponent.
"Don't mention this matter. What others do has nothing to do with us. We are Korean reporters, and we report on Korean players."
There was an elderly reporter among the reporters who set the tone for the incident.
Everyone stopped discussing topics related to Hu Lai.
But this is actually deceiving themselves, because all of them know that after the game starts, Hu Lai will still be the name they cannot get around.
They can only pray that Hu Lai will not score in the game, so as to avoid the embarrassment after the game.
But...how is this possible?
When the two sides met for the first time this season, Madrid Pirates defeated Getafe 4:1, and Hulay scored twice in that game.
At that time, Park Guixian had just gone to Getafe 1326 and was still in the adaptation period and was not able to play in the game.
So he didn't even make the squad for this game.
The Korean media also escaped unscathed and avoided embarrassment.
They were cold-blooded after the game, with few mentioning the game.
Not to mention that Hu Lai only scored twice, even if it was a hat trick, they could turn a blind eye.
But this time... I'm afraid it won't be possible to deal with it coldly.
Because Park Guixian will definitely play.
They couldn't just not cover Park Kyuhyun's own game just to avoid embarrassment, right?
※※※
Park Guixian ran forward with all her strength, chasing the football.
The football was rolling in front of him, not far away from him, but he seemed unable to catch up...
Sure enough, just when he stretched out his foot and was about to touch the ball, the football was stabbed away first.
He didn't kick the ball, but instead kicked the person who stole the ball down.
A shrill whistle sounded on the field.
"Oops! It was almost! Park Guixian committed a foul... What a pity!"
The commentator of the Korean TV station held his head and shouted in regret.
Park Guixian gasped and looked at Vukovich who fell to the ground. As an organizing midfielder, he returned to the penalty area of the Madrid Pirates and intercepted the ball passed to him by his teammates...
It's hard to tell whether his teammates passed the ball too big to him or whether he ran slower.
In short, facing a team like Madrid Pirates, the space available near the penalty area is so small. If you make a slight mistake, you may lose the ball.
Park Guixian once disdained Hu Lai, thinking that he was just a pick-up forward who could only eat cakes.
But as he came to play in Europe, he gradually realized how difficult it was to be as efficient as Hulay.
This season he has scored five goals in Getafe 1326, which is already a new high in his overseas career.
But compared with Hu Lai, it is not as good as others - before this game, Hu Lai had scored 36 league goals.
There must be a reason why people can score so many goals. It cannot be explained by simple "good luck".
Park Guixian was in a daze and didn't even make any excuses for his actions just now.
He didn't actually mean it.
But the foul is a fact.
※※※
It is now the twenty-seventh minute of Getafe 1326's home game against Madrid Pirates.
The score on the field was still 0:0, Park Guixian did not score, and Hu Lai did not score either.
So far so good, but every Getafe 1326 fan will not feel relaxed.
Madrid Pirates did not field their strongest lineup in this game because they had just played a Champions League game, so Parotti made some rotation adjustments to the team's starting lineup.
Despite this, Madrid Pirates also firmly had the upper hand when facing Getafe 1326.
If you don't score now, it doesn't mean you won't score in the future.
As long as the Madrid Pirates send Hulay, then scoring a goal will be a matter of time.
This is almost the consensus now.
Hu Lai did not disappoint those who thought so.
In the 40th minute, Madrid Pirates left back Olaf Brynjolfsson assisted and reached the 30-meter area and passed the football towards the goal.
Hulay, who originally ran behind the defensive player, suddenly changed direction, passed by the Getafe 1326 players, squeezed in front of him, and then fired with a sweep!
Although the Getafe 1326 goalkeeper made a save, his action was still slow before Hulay's shot.
He just touched the ball but failed to block it.
The football drilled into the goal from the edge of his palm!
1:0!
Madrid Pirates, who played semi-mainly, took the lead in the away game!
This is his thirty-seventh goal in the league!
His crazy and terrifying scoring momentum continues! (End of chapter)
