"Why?" Cheng Zhijie didn't understand: "Didn't our exhibition games let everyone see that our country, China, is actually not bad at all?"
Tang Ping smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe they think that if you perform too well..."
"It will make them look even more stupid!"
Cheng Zhijie and the others were stunned, still not quite understanding what Tang Ping meant by what he said.
Until they saw the game.
"What's this kick for? The opponent is already attacking, but they don't defend?"
"Is this called stopping the ball? Even our gatekeepers can stop the ball better than him!"
"Chasing, you can't even catch up and get blocked?"
“Is their defense just going to kick the ball out of bounds?”
A group of people became more and more angry.
It's okay if they just play poorly, but what they dislike the most is that these players don't seem to have the energy to fight with the opponent.
Sometimes it is clear that if you keep chasing without giving up, you can defend the earth, but in the end you just stand there and watch.
"Let's go, let's go, don't watch anymore!" Cheng Zhijie was the first to shout: "Look at the anger."
"That's right, what's this kick for?"
Others also responded to Cheng Zhijie's call.
Tang Ping glanced at Gou Shaoqun and took a group of people to another venue to watch the table tennis match.
After a while, the football result came out, 4:1.
Or in the second half, they used all the substitutions to substitute new players for training, only to get a goal back.
In addition to complaining, the audience also regretted that there would not be an advisory group exhibition match that they were looking forward to.
Although I feel unsatisfied, I still always hope to rise. This is the true mentality of Chinese fans.
Many people who were unwilling to give up even left messages on the official accounts of the archery team and karate team, asking them to ask why there was no consultant to rectify the situation in football.
The two official accounts also knew how to handle the situation and directly replied with a picture.
The lower part of the picture says twelve noon, and the upper part shows a clock with the cue ball as the dial tilted, and the hands point to three o'clock.
"What's the meaning?"
"The football is tilted and the clock is not accurate."
"It's not allowed to tilt your feet!"
"Holy crap, the case is solved!"
This time, the internet name was found. At first, I thought it was because there weren’t that many consultants, or maybe the football project wasn’t that good.
I didn't expect this to be the reason.
Some people ran over to curse, while others questioned him.
"Football is different from other sports. The requirements for physical strength and skills are too high. How old are these uncles? Can they do it?"
"When it comes to age, none of the members of the national karate team is younger than the two consultants. Ask them if they dare to go up and get beaten?"
"Hahaha, the word "beaten" is used very accurately."
Anyway, the Internet is really busy during this period.
Tang Ping turned off his mobile phone and asked Li Shimin and the others: "Really want to play a game of football?"
"Well, I really want to play a game!"
"It's not that we have to fight to win or lose, but at least we have the momentum, right?"
"A soldier like that would probably be cut down by military law in my army."
Everyone is very dissatisfied, mainly because today's scene was too frustrating.
I heard from Tang Ping that the current population of China is 1.4 billion, which is much more than that of the Tang Dynasty. There can't be so many people who can't find a few who are good at football, right?
They feel that since they are here, they should leave something behind.
"Okay, then I will make arrangements with Mr. Gou." Tang Ping nodded and agreed.
Anyway, the Gou family has its own TV station. Isn’t it easy to rent a stadium?
As for the audience, given the current popularity, they shouldn’t be left in the cold, right?
Gou Shaoqun soon helped to fix the stadium. Although there is a sports meeting now, there are still some unused stadiums, but they are a little bit old and there are fewer spectators.
However, everyone has no objection to this. In their opinion, this kind of stadium is much better than that of Datang.
Then an announcement was made online, and a friendly match would be held here three days later.
"What do you mean? Who allowed them to play by themselves?" the association above the football team asked with some annoyance.
In the past few days, I have been so upset by netizens that even the comments have been closed.
As a result, this private advisory group appeared at this time.
"They approved it locally. We sent people to ask, and the local government said that this is for rich people to rent a stadium to play a game. There is no reason for them to be blocked."
"And none of those people are registered players, so we can't control them!"
"Hmph, I don't believe it. They don't have a single star. It's okay for those netizens to talk about it online, but are they really going to buy tickets at the venue?"
As a result, Tang Ping and others made another announcement the next day. This time the game was completely free. However, considering that the stadium could only accommodate 30,000 people, if too many people came to watch, only the three who arrived first would be allowed to watch. Thousands of people entered.
In a word, first come, first seated.
Of course, if there weren't that many people, it wouldn't matter.
As soon as the news was posted, it immediately became a hot search topic.
"Although I don't know how well the consultants are doing? But now that they can stand up, we are willing to support them."
"No matter how bad it is, you won't chase the ball when you see it, right? Anyway, I think it must be interesting."
"I'm crying. I'm not in Hangzhou. Book your tickets now!"
"It may be a little late to book tickets upstairs now, because we have already planned to line up outside the stadium now, hahaha. We can be the first to go in then."
Some people are serious and actually set up camp at the entrance two days in advance.
There were also some anchors who came because of the popularity, and the stadium quickly became lively, even as lively as the Hangcheng Sports Hall where the game was taking place.
Soon the match day arrived, and Gou Shaoqun called Tang Ping early in the morning to wake him up.
"What's wrong?" Tang Ping rubbed his eyes and looked out the window. It was just getting bright today.
"The stadium, this side of the stadium..."
"What happened over there at the stadium?" Tang Ping regained consciousness.
"There are...too many people, holy shit." Gou Shaoqun said, "Didn't I arrange for people from the security company to come over? By then, security equipment and other equipment must be prepared first."
"But people from the security company called me just now and said that there are too many people here and they can't get in! Everyone who comes now wants to go in first and get a good seat!"
Everyone in Tangping was stunned. Are they so enthusiastic?
"I have contacted the local area. They will send some people over to help maintain order. You should come over quickly."
Tang Ping hung up the phone and called Li Shimin and the others.
We took the bus and went to the stadium.
Sure enough, as soon as the car parked, I saw people outside the stadium.
Cheng Zhijie felt a little unbelievable: "Are these all here to see us play football?"
If it were in the Tang Dynasty, this wouldn't be surprising. After all, if so many of them gathered together, it would definitely be a sensation.
But this is Tang Ping's world, and few people know them. How come so many people come to see them?
Tang Ping was also puzzled. Even if the popularity was higher, were these people too enthusiastic?
After finding Gou Shaoqun, Tang Ping asked, "What on earth is going on?"
Gou Shaoqun looked at Tang Ping with a grimace and said, "I know the reason. It turns out that you and King Zhao didn't come here once before. Then the video of King Zhao playing football was leaked, and netizens discovered that you appeared next to King Zhao. , appeared next to Master Cheng and Master Yuchi again, doesn’t this mean we are in touch?”
What Gou Shaoqun said was that Tang Ping brought Li Yuanji to modern times for the first time. It was because Li Yuanji watched a football match at that time that he returned to Datang to start the Datang Football League.
At that time, Li Yuanji did show off his skills outside the stadium.
"How long ago did this happen? Can they find such a video?"
Tang Ping looked at the video on Gou Shaoqun's phone with some depression.
"Nonsense, apart from finding a girlfriend, what else can netizens find nowadays?"
Gou Shaoqun said indifferently, and then said: "Now everyone thinks that there is a master like a great football champion next to you, so they came here. I will know more about it later, so I guess there will be more."
Gou Shaoqun looked outside: "There are almost 30,000 people here now. There will definitely be no room for them."
"Then let's play two games!" Cheng Zhijie said nonchalantly.
To them, kicking the ball is just like playing. In the past, when fighting, you might have to wear more than ten kilograms of armor and hold weapons weighing several kilograms for a long time to kill the enemy.
Although he is not as good as when he was young, playing two games is really not a problem.
"Ah?" Gou Shaoqun didn't expect such a simple and crude solution and looked at Tang Ping.
Tang Ping also asked: "Are you okay?"
"What's the problem?" Everyone said nonchalantly, "Isn't this just fun? Let's play a game this morning, then have a meal at noon, and then have another game in the afternoon."
"That's right, when we were in Datang, sometimes we didn't play for ninety minutes. I played for more than two hours at most."
"I'm better than you, I have three hours."
"Sorry, I remembered it wrong just now, it was more than three hours!"
Tang Ping watched this group of people start quarreling like primary school students again, and he couldn't laugh or cry.
Then he said: "How about I go pick up some more people? Bring Chu Mo and Yi Ai over?"
"That's right!" Cheng Zhijie clapped his hands: "That turtle grandson is arrogant every day and talks about how good their football skills are, and calls them over to see how I deal with them."
Everyone else laughed. He was probably the only one who could call his son a grandson.
But no one has any objections to this matter. As for father and son, there is nothing wrong with everyone playing football together.
So Tang Ping and Gou Shaoqun took someone with a big loudspeaker and went there.
"I'm glad that everyone supports us so much. As you know, this stadium can only accommodate 30,000 people, so we decided to play a total of three games today. Please rest assured, we feel that these three games must be of high quality."
At this time, many people came and recognized Tang Ping as the person in the video. It seems that he has not changed much in the past few years.
Asked loudly: "Is the person who was by your side last time also there?"
"Yes, and there are people better than him."
Li Yuanji was dissatisfied: "My team from Prince Zhao's Palace has won three consecutive championships. Who is better than me?"
