Chapter Seventy-Eight—The Media's Reaction!
At seven o'clock in the morning on the second day after the match against Porto, Tang Jue got up from bed. The body that has been modified by genetic medicine decomposed all the residual alcohol in the body last night. The hangover did not affect Tang Jue's habit of practicing in the morning.
The sky is blue, and the sun tears through the curtain of the night, sprinkling warm sunlight on the earth. The clouds next to the sun seem to be gilded with gold edges, which is very beautiful. The morning breeze is cold, sending the breath of late autumn.
Tang Jue was jogging around the Saint-Germain second team training ground, breathing in the cold air, thinking about last night's game. He's doing a quick analysis to find out his own shortcomings.
He was alone in the empty training ground, and he seemed very lonely. Under the blowing of the autumn wind, it seems that overnight, the large-leaved grass will fade into green and yellow clothes.
Time is a magician, and in the blink of an eye, the turf changes its color. Time is a magician, and overnight, Tang Jue appeared in the world of football. Appear in the field of vision of fans in the world. They don't even have time to prepare, so they hastily and passively accept this reality.
In a hurry and passively accepting a certain reality, the most common reaction of people is confusion or even helplessness. However, Chinese fans are indeed happy and excited.
Football is the number one sport in the world, and despite the poor performance of Chinese football, there is still no shortage of fans in China. Although fans know from the Internet that Tang Jue is a French-Chinese, they are still very excited and joyful. Translate these joys into words and put them on famous forums in China.
"Champions League, ushering in Chinese strikers!"
"Peerless talent, Tang Jue dominates Prince Park Stadium!"
"The first goal of the Chinese in the Champions League!"
“……”
The three major domestic portals have all made big headlines on the sports channel.
"Rewrite the record of the youngest goal in the Champions League, and the Chinese teenager sings the strongest voice in China!"
"Win the Champions League, Tang Jue scored the first goal of the Champions League!"
"The first goal of the Chinese Champions League!"
……
At twelve o'clock at noon, CCTV-1's noon news reported such a news: Last night, at half past seven in the evening local time in France and half past one in the morning Beijing time, a third round of the Champions League group stage was played at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris. The two sides are Paris Saint-Germain and defending champions Porto.
The French-Chinese 17-year-old striker Tang Jue scored a goal in each half to help Saint-Germain win 2-1 over Porto.
Tang Jue set a new record for the youngest Champions League goal, at 17 years and 70 days. The previous record was set by the famous Spanish star Raul, who was 18 years and 112 days old. This was set on 18 October 1995 in Real Madrid's 6-1 win over Ferencvalense!
……
Compared with the brevity of CCTV-1, CCTV-5's noon sports bulletin took five minutes to cover the game. The beautiful anchor Yi Miao said: "Last night for the Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the Champions League game, they were the happiest people in the world. They saw the Chinese players make their first appearance in the Champions League and score their first goal. They saw a new record for the youngest goalscorer in the Champions League.
All of this was created by a young general named Tang Jue. Seventeen years and seventy days, Tang Jue is so young. It was also the time of the youngest record in the new Champions League.
Let's go to the scene to see the process of the game. ”
The TV screen cuts to last night's game. In just two goals, the TV screen played for two full minutes. The screen switched back to the live broadcast, and Yi Miao said: "Let's take a look at the comments of the major sports media in the world on this game. The first is UEFA's official website. ”
"UEFA's headline is: Chinese youngsters are proud, defending champions are defeated!"
"The Chinese striker Tang, who set a new record, scored a goal in the first 30 minutes and 38 minutes in the second half. The defending champions were scored by Brazilian striker Fabiano in the 30 minutes of the second half.
The score between the two sides was 2-1, and Saint-Germain at home defeated the defending champions to retain the possibility of qualifying from the group.
During the competition, Tang showed his skills and speed to the fans of the world. Good technique and fast speed are also necessary conditions for a good striker. ”
Yi Miao said: "Let's take a look at what the most famous sports media in France, the team newspaper, has to say. ”
"The headline of the team newspaper is: Saint-Germain change tactics, Porto loses!"
"Saint-Germain, who lacked major generals, changed their tactics last night, abandoning the flashy style of play in the past, attacking from controlling the midfield, to playing defensive counterattacks.
Tactics changed, Saint-Germain were very ugly, and Porto dominated the game, with 69 per cent possession and 12 shots on goal. Saint-Germain had just five shots on goal.
However, Saint-Germain's change of tactics worked very well, with Don being very fast, threatening Porto's goal with his pace on several occasions.
Don decided the outcome of the match as he crushed the visiting defending champions with two brilliant goals. The Porto player received four yellow cards and one red card on him. ”
Yi Miao continued: "Let's go through the headlines of other media outlets.
Milan Sports Newspaper 'Breakthrough! Breakthrough! Chinese teenager beats Porto! They gave all the credit for this victory. ”
"Germany's kicker 'defensive counterattack defeats midfield control, and the Chinese teenager will be the key to the outcome of the game!' ”
"Spain's Marca newspaper 'youngsters are in charge, Saint-Germain leaves seeds of hope'"
"The Guardian's sports edition 'New record is set, defending champions are disgraced!' ”
From these headlines, we can see that they praised Tang Jue's performance. Ahead of this match, a number of French media outlets made pre-match predictions, and they were not bullish on Saint-Germain. The British bookmaker gave the match an opening handicap for Porto to handicap the hemisphere.
Tang Jue used two goals to overturn the pre-match predictions of the French media.
We would like to congratulate Saint-Germain on their victory and hope that Tang Jue will bring us more surprises. ”
……
The match was analysed by the Portuguese media, who offered two reasons for Porto's defeat. The first point was bad luck, twelve shots on goal, two hit the woodwork, and Porto scored only one. Saint-Germain, who had only five shots on goal, scored two goals.
The second point was the provocative behavior of Tang Jue, which made the Porto players lose their cool during the game. In Tang Jue, the Porto player received four yellow cards and one red card.
The consequences are very serious, and it directly leads to Pepe not being able to play in the next game. Several other players have also suffered from the threat of suspension. It cast a shadow over Porto's next three Champions League games.
In their words, they criticized Tang Jue's behavior, believing that he was contrary to sportsmanship.
