July 11.

St. Petersburg again.

Chen Yingxiong, the darling of St. Petersburg, still received cheers from the fans all over the court this time, but he knew that he could not be the real master of this game.

The same hunch that he had was the last striker Salah, who was at Egypt's last striker. The Liverpool winger has now encountered the biggest challenge of his career.

Challenges are often opportunities.

If Salah leads the team to beat the Chinese team in this highly anticipated World Cup semi-final, then... can he be officially a god? After returning to Liverpool, will he become the real king of Anfield?!

But... Salah never thought so, even for a second!

After joining Liverpool for two seasons, he played with Long Shute for two and a half years (plus Milan for half a year). He is more clear than anyone: if there is a person in football that is invincible, that man must be his club teammate!

-

While the players on both sides shook hands, Salah heard Long Shute's encouragement:

"Momo, come and fight with all your might!"

He grinned, but there was a hint of bitterness in his laughter:

"I will do my best, Long, you will definitely not be disappointed!"

Long Shute patted his shoulder:

"Then you... will definitely be disappointed."

-

"The players on both sides have entered the court, and the captains of the two teams are walking towards the referee team..."

CCTV's commentator He Wei glanced at the information in his hand:

"The captain of the Egyptian team is 45-year-old goalkeeper Al Hadari. He is the oldest player to play officially in the history of the World Cup and will also become the oldest goalkeeper who was defeated by Longshute. Let us wish him good luck..."

Hadari, who was named by him, looked as if he was ready to die, and tried to make his expression look normal.

Then he saw the red number 8 opposite him smiling and stretched out his right hand, and said:

"Let's play 100% of our strength!"

Hadari immediately took a step back uncontrollably, and his calf couldn't even help but tremble!

What is 100% strength?

Is it the strength of hitting 12 goals in the last game?

I'm 15 years older than Colombian goalkeeper Ospina. Are you sure you want to bully me like this?

-

Krom Liu, who was standing in the substitute area, took a picture of Long Shute's back and posted it on various personal platforms.

The reason why it is "various platforms" is because he has to take care of different fans at home and abroad, not to mention that some words will be inexplicably 404 in China...

Below the photo, Crom described this back as follows:

"The World Cup semi-finals are not much time left for him..."

A netizen immediately replied:

"Is it not enough time to show off?"

Crom cursed in anger:

"Is it illegal to pretend to behave?"

-

"Bang!"

"Dong!"

"Bang!"

"Swish..."

A 45-year-old goalkeeper, no matter how well he is in good condition, he is already 45 years old.

Al Hadari is indeed an excellent goalkeeper in Egyptian football history, but at the age of 45, his physical functions, especially his bounce and reaction ability, have dropped much compared to his peak period. Such a goalkeeper stood in front of the goal and faced Long Shute, who claimed to be able to score a goal in 14 minutes... what consequences will be? Naturally, you can imagine!

Long-range burst shots, counter-offside shots, shots outside the penalty area...

It took only 23 minutes to score his third goal in the World Cup semi-finals!

El Civina, the second national goalkeeper sitting on the bench, shivered while muttering in her heart:

"Let you grab my position, let you grab my position..."

In his year of playing, Civina had already firmly held the position of the main goalkeeper, but an unexpected injury in the qualifiers gave the old captain the opportunity to re-enter the national team. Since then, he has become the starting goalkeeper again. Civina can only continue to sit on the bench and said that he has no complaints in his heart...that is probably not very human.

Even Buffon's substitute, he would not be willing to sit on the bench for more than ten years!

Of course, in the national team, you don’t have the option of transfer...

-

The Egyptian team did not wait to die. As the FIFA ranked 43rd and Africa ranked second, they showed a tenacious fighting spirit.

Salah stood up in the 33rd minute and scored a wonderful goal for the team:

During a counterattack, the Pharaoh instantly broke down the defense line composed of Wang Zhen and Xiang Tao with an indomitable momentum, and then calmly and angrily completed a ejection with the outer instep of his left foot!

Shooting outside the instep is the most common way to shoot. Chinese goalkeeper Chu Jiang hurriedly forgot to open the cheat, and could only let Egypt's thigh pierce his fingers!

The goal was beautiful and could boost morale, but Salah's mood was still extremely heavy.

Because before he scored, Long Shute had already achieved the Sixi Maruko!

The score is now 4-1!

The Egyptian team is still in a quagmire!

-

Losing a ball will make people sober and anger.

The sober and angry Chu Jiang is not easy to mess with. Just 5 minutes later, he used a long pass from the backcourt of more than 80 meters to accurately find Chen Yingxiong who was heading in front of the Egyptian penalty area, and directly assisted him to complete the header!

5-1!

The Egyptian team is in a desperate situation!

-

Is the Egyptian team strong?

Not strong.

Although they are now ranked second in Africa, you should know that the last time they reached the World Cup was 28 years ago in 1990, even longer than the Chinese team...

Before 1990, the only time they participated in the World Cup was in 1934. That year, their country was still in the era of monarchy, and their "Qing Dynasty" had not yet perished...

A few years ago, if Egypt was placed in front of the Chinese team without Long Shute, Chu Zhongtian, Qin Gude and others, the Chinese team would not feel too much pressure. Most Chinese fans even did not understand the strength of this team.

However, in the past two or three years, with Cooper's coaching and Salah's maturity, the entire team suddenly rose rapidly from the trough. In 2017, they won the runner-up in the African Cup, and then advanced to the World Cup after 28 years. Salah and Cooper also became heroes of the entire country without any surprise.

Now they have entered the semi-finals, and this result has exceeded the expectations of 100 million Egyptians. Even if they lose here, no one will blame them.

After all...their opponent is not human!

Chapter completed!
