Chapter 63: A True Hero

In the episode of the match between the Chinese teenagers and the Arsenal youth team, the ratings of "Superstar Reality Show" rose again. Many of them came to watch because they heard that the Chinese teenagers performed well in the previous episode.

After the Dortmund episode was broadcast, the response was very good, and the comments on the Internet were much more positive than before.

All this is because the Chinese teenagers scored three goals against the Dortmund youth team.

He Ying is naturally familiar to everyone. The main striker of the Chinese National Youth Team has long been widely reported by the media in China and is considered the hopeful star of Chinese football. He was the strongest in the National Youth Team that year.

It was unexpected that such a person would come to participate in the reality show, and at the same time, it also brought a lot of popularity to the reality show.

Of course, He Ying's performance in the reality show was not less disappointing. Not only disappointed with him personally, but also disappointed with Chinese football as a whole-the strongest player of our 17-year-old generation can't even score a goal when he goes abroad. Is this our strongest? How pathetic we are!

There have also been many criticisms of He Ying on the Internet, saying that he was only praised by the media in China, but in fact it was nothing more than that, and his true colors were revealed when he went abroad.

What's fast, what's excellent dribbling, what's comprehensive in skills, what's awareness is much higher than that of domestic players of the same age... It's all bragging by the media.

So He Ying, the only one in our seventeen-year-old age group who can compete with Japanese and Korean players of the same age, has become a false image... Many people have risen to criticize the country because of this.

"Is there anything in our country that is not fake?"

Even those die-hard fans of He Ying are powerless in the face of such criticism, because in reality He Ying really did not perform well.

But the game against the Borussia Dortmund youth team made them proud.

It's all right if there is no shadow, once you enter, you will be two!

However, He Ying's performance like this at best proves that he is not in vain. To be honest, it doesn't shock people very much.

It was Zhou Yi who scored another goal, and everyone was more interested.

I checked the information on the Internet, and it was said that the representative of the student players was selected from a nationwide audition. Other than that, there is no more information and introduction, and it was not a very prominent task in the previous program, except that the conversation with the cameraman in the first episode made everyone laugh, nothing else Highlights. In the previous four games, he didn't play a minute, and naturally he didn't perform.

Unexpectedly, this game suddenly started, and then there were two assists and one goal!

Although the luck component of the last goal was too obvious.

But they still had two assists before, and He Ying was able to score twice because of Zhou Yi's assist.

He immediately attracted the attention of many people.

How can such a student player have such ability?

Everyone is puzzled.

Because of his outstanding performance against Dortmund, this episode also aroused a wider range of heated discussions and attracted more media attention.

Originally, before this, most of the media basically didn't care about this program except for paying for announcements.

But now when everyone is talking about Lun, they naturally realize that this is a hot news.

Especially Zhou Yi.

There is simply too much mystery in this contestant, he is the best news person.

He was selected by sea, which means that he is not a professionally trained quasi-professional player.

How can an amateur perform so well?

What are the stories behind him? What kind of person is he?

But helplessly, the media couldn't know more information about Zhou Yi except for the public information. They said that he was a student, and no one even knew where he went to school.

Even if you dig deep, you can't find the way.

But just when everyone was struggling to find Zhou Yi's detailed information, they found that they didn't seem to need to care about who Zhou Yi was...

Because of the broadcast of the first episode of the program, the Chinese teenagers once again suffered a disastrous defeat in the game. They lost 0:7 to the Arsenal youth team!

This made the voices that were praising Zhou Yi and these young people disappear immediately.

0:7 ah! And it was lost in half the game. This is no longer a "fiasco" that can be described, but "slaughtered".

Someone on the Internet complained: "It's really a football reality show, inheriting the glorious tradition of Chinese football - when you just wanted to have a little expectation of him, he slapped you hard! Let you know that you have How silly and naive!"

For a while, the scolding was rampant again.

There are many ugly sounds.

Just like the Chinese football they complained about, they have also maintained their own fine traditions - bragging when they win a game, cursing when they lose...

Everyone is with each other.

Amidst all the scolding, not many people really noticed that Zhou Yi was substituted in the first half of the game. Those who noticed that Zhou Yi was still 0:0 when he was on the court, and 0:7 after being substituted not much.

Even if there were any of these people, they were all drowned in the ocean of cursing, and even two small waves couldn't get up.

But anyway... there is one very equally small but real change.

That is, on the Internet, a post bar named "Zhouyi" appeared.

The introduction of the post bar is very clear: "The fan post bar of Zhou Yi, a contestant of "The Inheritor of the Greenery"!"

At present, the number of followers is only a few twenty-two.

Although there are not many people, Zhou Yi has his first batch of fans anyway, but he doesn't know it...

※※※

A week passed quickly, and when another Thursday night came, the latest episode of "The Green Heir" was broadcast on the TV station.

After losing to the Arsenal youth team by a big score just now, everyone was a little surprised that the ratings of this program were not low at the beginning, at least not as low as everyone imagined.

Why is that?

A very popular post on the "Successor of the Green" post may explain some problems: "In this issue, it is said that the opponent of China's 'Looking for the Raffle Team' is the youth team of the car, waiting to be abused. Let's guess this time they will be poured. Score some goals!"

On the second floor, a netizen with Messi as the avatar replied: "Eleven, no more!"

A netizen on the third floor who used Lampard as the avatar quoted the second floor as a reply: "Why not more?"

"Because I'm a Barcelona fan!" replied the netizen on the second floor.

"Okay, I'll support the entry of thirteen cars!"

The landlord came out: "Please be civilized and wonderful, don't be arrogant!"

"I guess eight!"

"Nine and nine! Nine and nine are one, how lucky!"

"Then why not ten? Perfect?"

"I guess twelve, twelve zodiac signs!"

"Alibaba and the Forty Thieves!"

"Sixty-six, sixty-six!"

"Ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties!

"That's enough of you! It's clearly one hundred and eight generals of the Water Margin!"

...

"The teenagers who represent our Chinese football image have been kicked so badly. How easy is it for them! You just hate them like this? You don't have any conscience? Don't you have any sense of public morality and patriotism?! Ah! Morality lessons from childhood are How did you get in! Did you fail? Let me guess, there are 1.4 billion people in China!"

"It's too dark upstairs..."

Yes, many people who watch this program actually want to see Chinese teenagers make a fool of themselves and want to see them being abused. This is a very deformed pleasure. The more unlucky Chinese football is, the more excited they are.

It's hard to say that they are not fans. The posts they pay attention to are all major European clubs, and European football is very familiar. I can talk about a certain league game in history for a long time.

It is also hard to say that they are not Chinese fans. Once upon a time, they would watch every game of the Chinese team in front of the TV, and they also lined up all night just to buy a ticket for a certain A-League game. Shout out "Xiongqi".

Just who is to blame?

This is really a serious question.

※※※

The program team also seems to know that the domestic audience is actually waiting to watch the final game, so this time they also intentionally compressed the previous content, focusing the entire program on the game, and all the previous links revolved around the game here.

Of course, there is a reason for the program team to do this, because they already know the result of the game, so they naturally know what to do later.

If it was the last game against Arsenal's youth team, they would definitely have killed them and wouldn't have done it.

Soon the pre-match sessions were over, and the main drama began.

The Chinese teenagers' challenge to the Chelsea Youth Team has officially begun!

What the viewers and fans who were watching the program in front of the TV or using the computer network never expected was that... They were expecting to see a massacre, but they did not expect the Chinese team to score the first goal!

When Zhou Yi assisted He Ying to score the first goal, the unsuspecting audience in front of the TV and computer were stunned!

what's the situation? Chinese team ahead?

No... Is the Chinese team leading again?

Many people quickly thought of the match against Dortmund youth team, the Chinese team is also an advanced goal!

So the lead at this time does not explain the problem.

After the initial surprise, the audience regained their composure and reason.

Someone left a message on the Internet saying that the Chinese team has angered the Chelsea youth team, just wait to be slaughtered in the next game!

They wanted it well, and it didn't take long for the Chelsea youth team to score an equalizer.

Then scored another goal before the end of the first half, from behind to ahead.

"Look and see! I just said, this is the nature of Chinese football!"

"Oh, Chinese football is really disappointing!"

"No surprise, this is the normal rhythm!"

"After so many years, only the national football team is as stable as ever. It's really not easy!"

"Same formula, same taste, this sour taste is the right taste!!"

"Actually, you all misunderstood. It's not that the national football team is too weak, but they are nostalgic!"

All kinds of complaints suddenly appeared on the Internet, and jokers have ammunition to give full play to their "intelligence".

It was a carnival on the Internet, in stark contrast to the critical atmosphere of the Chinese team's backwardness that was exaggerated in the program.

In addition, after the end of the first half of the game, a scene of conflict between Sun Pan and Chelsea youth team players was broadcast on the show, which ignited the audience even more.

Except for the swear words being dropped by [beep——], none of the other yelling was eliminated.

"Yo yo! If you can't kick, you have to hit someone! It's a fine tradition of Chinese football!"

"If you lose a game, you lose someone, and you lose someone!"

"This is the Chinese player we are familiar with - I now believe that this group of kids are all selected from various domestic clubs!"

"Do you want to learn from the Olympic Games? Can't even beat others in a fight?"

"That Sun Pan is from the Northeast, he is not a good person at first sight!"

"The ones upstairs don't want to attack in the area!"

...

When everyone was carnival on the Internet, the show came to an end temporarily and entered the commercial time.

After the five-minute commercial, when the show restarted, it skipped straight to the dressing room.

As soon as Hao Dong's impassioned speech came out, jokes about these youth teams on the Internet began to decrease linearly.

Everyone sat in front of the TV or computer in a daze, with Hao Dong's voice coming from the speaker next to their ears: "... If any of you still have even the slightest fantasy about your future, then give me Be serious, treat every game, every opponent! Don’t be numb just because we lost a lot before, get used to it, remember! Even if it is a failure, let the failure become valuable! Every failure now, It's all for future victories!"

Few reality shows expose their ugliness, but Hao Dong did it in the show. He didn't shy away from talking about the games he lost before, and the fact that the players were not the main force of the youth team of the qualifying club. As for the speech in the locker room, the program team did not cut it.

It was displayed in front of everyone in such a complete and bloody way.

Everyone was stunned, and no one expected that such a segment would come to a game and program that they were making a joke of.

This simply makes them more defenseless than the Chinese team leading.

Of course, there are still people who are stubborn.

"Use your lips, what's so difficult about saying nice scenes? Isn't it always a tradition of Chinese football to yell fiercely?"

"Speaking of a football powerhouse hahaha!"

"Tch, what age is it, you thought you could win the game by saying a few nice rhetoric at halftime? No wonder Chinese football hasn't improved for so many years!"

But after the start of the second half, these voices disappeared.

When Zhou Yi volleyed and assisted He Ying to score the team's equalizer goal, many people even jumped up from the TV and computer!

Then a lot of positive comments started to appear on the Internet.

"This ball hangs! It's a blockbuster!"

"Zhou Yi passed the ball...Unexpected, unexpected!"

"He Ying's running position is also very smart! The two of them cooperated and scored all the goals of the Chinese team so far. They are really a golden partner! I heard that they are still roommates. I wonder if their tacit understanding has something to do with it?"

"I have an idea! Could it be that this game... can't be said..."

※※※

The person in charge of monitoring the ratings of each program on the TV station soon discovered that the ratings of "The Inheritor of the Greenery" that was on the air began to soar.

Her exclamation immediately attracted more people to watch. Everyone also watched the ratings number behind the program name constantly jumping and changing, and the real-time ratings ranking of the program was also rising.

"What's the matter...how could there be such a change?"

Colleagues onlookers started talking.

"Is there anything special about this episode?"

"No, it's said to be playing against the Chelsea youth team..."

"That's not a loss?"

"Maybe the audience prefers to watch the national football team make a fool of themselves?"

Amidst the discussion, a voice said coldly: "They just tied the score."

"what?"

A group of people were too shocked to speak out.

But also understand how this is going on.

Chinese fans... The vast majority of Chinese fans still hope that Chinese football will be good...

※※※

Although the Chinese teenagers also scored two goals against Dortmund, they still led twice.

But this time, with the first half and half-time set up, the spirits were high.

Who the hell doesn't want to lose anymore!

However, the subsequent progress of the game also made everyone sweat for the Chinese football teenagers-the Chelsea youth team attacked so fiercely, Zhou Yi was obviously out of stamina, this game...can it be a draw?

Yes, there is no requirement to win, just not to lose, a tie is enough to keep everyone happy for a week!

Zhou Yi's dominance in the backcourt has also aroused some criticism, thinking that this is really playing with fire, and if this continues, accidents will happen sooner or later.

At this moment, the situation on the court changed suddenly, and the Chinese team, which had been playing in the backcourt all the time, suddenly poured out the football, and Zhou Yi kicked it straight to Chelsea's backcourt!

Then He Ying ran all the way, passing the goalkeeper of the Chelsea youth team who was attacking, and slammed the football into the empty goal!

Those sitting or standing in front of the TV and computer did not make any sound, as if they had been petrified, they stared blankly at the screen.

reversed?

We turned around!

What's happening here!

Then everyone reacted, and the Internet exploded.

"Am I not mistaken? Was it really the Chinese team that scored the goal just now?"

"Isn't this really a script written in advance?"

"Damn! So handsome! He Ying is so handsome! Zhou Yi is so handsome! The Chinese team is so fucking handsome!"

※※※

Next, Zhou Yi was unable to persist in the game due to cramps and was replaced by Yang Fei. Zhou Yi, who was replaced at the time, did not enjoy the treatment of standing ovation from the fans, because there was no audience on the sidelines at that time.

But now, in the TV show, he enjoys the treatment of many fans standing and applauding in front of the TV and in front of the computer.

Then came the highlight moment of Sun Pan, the Northeast boy who was ridiculed by the fans at the end of the first half as a representative of the low quality of Chinese players, used his almost world-class performance to stop the Chelsea youth team from attacking again and again. A one-foot shot. Especially the save of the changing line made the audience in front of the TV and computer scream.

"This-how-how-may-possible?!" They didn't believe it themselves.

The game time passed by every minute and every second, and the Chelsea youth team still failed to shake the goal guarded by Sun Pan.

The audience also became nervous, for fear of being given one at the last moment.

Such things as "black three minutes" have not been experienced in the history of Chinese football. It has almost become a chronic disease in the hearts of all Chinese fans. As long as the Chinese team leads by one goal or draws in the final stage of the game, the fans watching the game will not be able to help but start worrying about the tragedy...

But this time, the underrated teenagers didn't let it happen!

When the referee blew the belated whistle for the end of the game, the Chinese players on the sidelines rushed into the field, and the audience in front of the screen also raised their arms and shouted.

At this time, the show suddenly played an old song.

An old-fashioned, old-fashioned song that children may not have heard.

"... In my heart, there was once a dream, to use singing to make you forget all the pain; brilliant starry sky, who is the real hero? Ordinary people moved me the most..."

After the prelude played by the piano, four different voices sang, and the picture showed the scenes of the teenagers celebrating their victory with excitement.

And the head coach of the Chelsea youth team took the initiative to shake Hao Dong's hand and said, "Congratulations, Hao. I saw a wonderful game, and you deserve this victory." As he spoke, the music faded , if there is nothing, and what he said was typed at the bottom of the screen with Chinese subtitles.

Zhou Yi raised his arms on the sidelines and shouted: "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!"

The music continues.

"Seize every minute of life, and go all out for the dreams in our hearts; how can we see a rainbow if we don't experience wind and rain? No one can succeed casually!"

"Grasp every touch in life, embrace passionately with your beloved friends; let the formation words, and happy tears flow in my heart..."

At this time, the audience in front of the screen, those who were a little bit older, realized that at some point, they had burst into tears... just like the song sang.

Because this song really... evokes too many memories of them, which belong to the collective memory of the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.

At that time, in the most prosperous era of professional football in China, this song was frequently sung on the field of League A. The degree of red is like that of "You'll Never Walk Alone" on foreign courts.

People sang this song and moved small benches and quilts to the gate of the stadium to wait in line for ticket sales; sang this song to cheer for their team; sang this song to welcome the triumphant return of the team they supported...

As soon as the music sounded, they seemed to have returned to the Chinese football of decades.

But nowadays, this song has been gradually forgotten, and even the most popular song will become outdated. Just like this song, no matter how hot the football market is, it will cool down, and the glorious era will pass.

The city that once created China's gold medal football market has long been unable to accommodate a professional football club. The stadium, which was once crowded with people and hard to find tickets, is now useless except for holding concerts.

The teenagers and young people who were crazy about Chinese football back then have also grown up and grown old. They may not have watched Chinese league games for many years, or they may still watch every game and scold every game, torture themselves and feel pain.

But there will also be a night when they will think about what they loved when they were young and frivolous, and they will think about the crazy things they did for this love.

For example, the night when "True Hero" was sung again.

That was the "young age" that they and Chinese football could never go back to...

The music continued, and the chorus of the four singers pushed the song to a climax.

The screen fades to black.

Paragraphs of text silently appeared in the middle of the black screen.

"Six weeks ago, we planted some seeds in the frozen soil of Chinese football, which is so hard and unsuitable for growth, and no one had any hope that the seeds would survive.

During the past six weeks, the outside world was extremely dangerous with thunder and lightning, flying sand and rocks. And the seeds, sleeping in the dark, seem to never germinate...

But today, they broke through the ground and declared war on those conventions, secular prejudices, and rotten stereotypes in this world...

Seeing them full of vitality, I couldn't help thinking—maybe in a few years, on this yellow-brown wasteland, there will be an indulgent green forest?

Perhaps this is the meaning of why we must do this.

Thank you boys, please grow up freely! You have to be as stubborn as the past you want to break.

And we will cheer for you.

——"The Green Inheritors" program group"

PS, in fact, I wrote this chapter with special emotion, and there are many things I want to say in it.

I think I have insisted on writing football novels for thirteen years. Apart from earning money to support my family, it also has the meaning of doing this.

In addition, thank you for your enthusiastic support yesterday, which made us rush to the recommendation list and click list on the homepage. I hope we will continue to work together, keep it up, and don't fall behind!

Finally, although Li Zongsheng's "True Hero" and Zheng Zhihua's "Youth Era" are very old songs, they still sound very good, and I recommend them to everyone.
