Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 321 The Bad Omen
During the World Cup, although the club's coaches and most of the players are on vacation, the club's preparations for the new season have already started from now on.Clubs at all levels have sent scouts to the World Cup, taking what they need from players of different levels.Players who perform eye-catchingly on this stage have a great chance to enter the stage of the five major leagues, and even the attention of the giants.

In the boxes and stands of the Kazan Central Stadium, there were three scouts who came to investigate. They originally focused on the Mexican players, but as Deng Hanwen's performance on the right side overshadowed the Mexican team's limelight, their attention began to shift to the Chinese team.

And Deng Hanwen's performance also made these scouts shine, especially the Chinese team's equalizer goal, let them see the two most valuable qualities of a full-back: resolute assists and clear judgment.

In modern football, the full-back is the most demanding position on the field. It can attack and defend. It requires the ability to run back and forth and precise crossing.Deng Hanwen's outstanding qualities on the defensive end are not many, but his offensive performance is undoubtedly eye-catching.Especially just now when he made an emergency stop in the penalty area and then made a pass, the full back can make this action when assisting, which shows that this is a player who plays football with his brain.

One of the middle-aged scouts wearing sunglasses observed Deng Hanwen carefully for 5 minutes, and wrote a few lines in his notebook: strong assist ability, clear judgment, and reasonable choices.He comes from the La Liga Real Sociedad club. Deng Hanwen's type of defender fits the current coach Osevio's definition of offensive football.

On the other side of the stand, Vallecano, who is ranked fourth in West Division II this season, had two scouts watching the game. As the goal was scored, one of the bald scouts asked: "The right back of the Chinese team is very interesting. Rapp, what do you think?"

Next to him was a scout with an unshaven beard and wrinkled face, who looked several generations older than the bald man, but from the tone and demeanor of the conversation between the two, it was clear that he was just a typical European and American. He was about the same age, but he looked anxious.

The scout named Rapp nodded: "Well, there is great potential. Next, work hard and follow the Chinese team's games. Next season, we will hit La Liga. We need this type of player."

Vallecano failed to hit La Liga this season, but it is undeniable that they are still a very competitive team in La Liga after being relegated from La Liga. In the 2014-15 season, Zhang Chengdong also played for half a season on short-term loan. This is also one of the few intersections between Vallecano and Chinese fans.

In addition to these two groups of people, there was a more low-key scout at the scene. After filming this segment with his mobile phone in the box, he left the stadium and whispered to himself: "If the club hadn't increased their interest in Chinese players because of Wen Zhihao, I should have paid attention to those talented Japanese players. This video is worth a little in this half."

He is one of the scouts of the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich on the Asia Scouting Network. Because of the Champions League final loss to Wen Zhihao, Bayern is more interested in introducing a Chinese player, and it happens to take advantage of the opportunity of the World Cup to conduct a centralized screening.After watching half the game, only Deng Hanwen interested him a little bit.

……

In the first half, Mexico’s offensive was more dominant and there were more threats. The strong positions of the two teams were also different. Mexico had Xiaopea and Dos Santos. The striker was their specialty, and Mexico has always been rich in spiritual strikers. Due to the explosion of Deng Hanwen, the Chinese team was stronger on the wing than the midfielder.

However, the score was equalized in the first half, and new bright spots emerged. Lippi’s slightly anxious expression gradually eased from the beginning of the game. Deng Hanwen was single-handedly promoted to the national team. Before the start of the World Cup, the coaching staff had differences. Madaloni believed that the more experienced Zhang Linpeng should be allowed to play full-back.

Now that the score has been equalized, Lippi's idea is naturally to strive for a victory.Therefore, he used the midfielder for the first substitution in the second half. He Chao, who performed poorly in the first half, was replaced by Hao Junmin. The midfielder of the Chinese team has been further strengthened.

Mexico went out even more recklessly in the second half, their only hope was to fight for another goal.

For the Chinese team, Lippi's goal of strengthening the midfield is very clear. Strengthening the midfield and keeping the tie is just the bottom line. Lippi's bigger goal is to directly use two consecutive victories to make sure his qualifications for qualifying.

However, North American players are indeed more excited, and they often play better than the Chinese team in the opening stage. The situation is almost the same as the beginning of the first half, but this time the Chinese team paid a heavier price.

In 1 minute, after receiving the pass from Wen Zhihao, Hao Junmin kicked his feet and failed to control the ball in time. The opponent's midfielder Aquino took the opportunity to steal it, and then made a diagonal pass of about 40 meters directly into the penalty area. Dos Santos and Feng Xiaoting accelerated at the same time, but Dos Santos was a small player after all.

One-handed!

Although Dos Santos' character is very controversial, he has a high golf quotient.He wasted a single shot in the first half. This time he learned his lesson and did not hesitate at all. He picked the ball directly towards the goal and took a step forward at the same time.

Zeng Cheng originally lowered his center of gravity to destroy the opponent's low shot, and his body slid out against the turf. He was surprised when he felt the ball pass diagonally over his head, but at this time he couldn't control his body anymore, and could only let the inertia knock down Dos Santos.

Because Dos Santos lobbed in a short period of time, he missed his aim slightly, and the ball rubbed against the post and missed the baseline.

But before the cheers of the Chinese fans and He Dawei came out, Serbian referee Madzic's whistle sounded.

He decisively pointed to the penalty spot, but this was not over, and then he touched his jacket pocket, took out the red card, and aimed at Zeng Cheng!
He Wei was taken aback immediately: "Ah! Zeng Cheng's red card! This is really...too unexpected, Zeng Cheng's action was not intentional, he couldn't control himself, we recognized the penalty, but it's almost enough to give a yellow card, right?"

The Mexican commentator kept laughing: "A great turning point has appeared! We are accelerating towards victory!"

The players surrounded the referee to ask for an explanation, and Madaloni, on behalf of the coaching staff, immediately approached the fourth official to appeal.

While the fans were shocked, they also vented their anger and worries.

The goalkeeper is dyed red, and this rare situation happened to be hit by the Chinese team, which is an ominous omen!
