Chapter 27: The terrifying nine-time Scottish Premier League champion!
Furuhashi Hiromu was born on January 20, 1995 and is exactly 25 years old this year.
After Iniesta left Barcelona and went to Japan to join Kobe Victory, Furuhashi Kento learned a lot of techniques from the legendary midfielder, but more important than the techniques was the understanding of the game.
In Japan's J League, he no longer has any rivals.
As a springboard for upper-middle teams in the top five European leagues, he came to the Scottish Premier League this season to let scouts from big clubs know that there is another talented striker in Asia!
Chen Xiaoliang?
A kid from a red country who relied on desperate tackling to defend against a few second-rate players is worthy of being a stumbling block on the path of Asian strikers? !
dream!
But the media has been hyping it up for two months, so he must prove in today's game that he is the undisputed top player in the Scottish Premier League!
As if to help the ambitious Japanese realize their dreams, not long after the start of the game, Furuhashi Kengo received a pass from his teammate.
From the moment he received the ball, the Rangers' overall defensive formation began to compress backwards.
The best way to deal with a speed-type player is to not give him space to break through and dribble past him.
However, when Chen Xiaoliang was still waiting for Guqiao Hengwu to make the next move before deciding how to defend, Guqiao Hengwu directly took the ball and rushed up at full speed!
Chen Xiaoliang quickly speeds up to catch up!
Seeing Kento Furuhashi start, Celtics' other two forwards Elyounoussi and Swiss international Ayeti immediately made supporting runs on both sides to help him share the defensive pressure.
As soon as the game started, the three Celtic attackers showed signs of charging straight into the Rangers' defense!
[This is a no-holds-barred show, it starts with a ruthless fight! ]
[It is indeed a match of the highest level in the Scottish Premier League, quite interesting! ]
[Life is going at this pace... Chen Xiaoliang seems to be having a hard time]
More and more people came into the live broadcast room to watch Chen Xiaoliang's comeback match, and the number of comments gradually increased. Dong Dazui immediately became excited:
"Hey, don't be fooled by Kento Hideo's fast running. That's because he has plenty of energy at the start of the game and wants to use his three-pronged attack to shock the Rangers' defense. Once the Rangers compress their formation to avoid giving them space, the Celtics can control the ball and fight a positional battle.
Some fans in the comments obviously didn't watch the game much. Can Furuhashi's speed be called fast? Among the fast runners in today's football world, Cristiano Ronaldo is half fast, after all, he is old. Bale, Mbappe, Mane, Salah, Wolves' Traore, and Dortmund's Haaland are fast.
Is Furuhashi a fast runner? Is there anyone who is fast in life? Can a fast runner be defeated by Belgium in the last seconds of the World Cup?
Just watch, he'll be weak in a moment!"
Chen Xiaoliang, who had been chasing him all the way, really hoped that Barisic, who was sitting on the bench, could play. After a month without a game or training together, the tacit understanding between him and Davis had long dropped to 0, and even the lowest level of orange tacit understanding connection was gone. He could not expect him to help him position himself and assist in defense.
Uglumba , who replaced Barisic and played for a month, worked hard. In terms of strength, power and explosiveness, he was better than Guqiao Hengwu. Seeing Chen Xiaoliang lost his position, he immediately took big strides and rushed towards Guqiao Hengwu.
However, the nine-time champion's star player was by no means an ordinary player. Facing the dark and tough Uglumba, Kento Furuhashi flicked the ball with his right foot, shook his body, and flicked it back with his left foot. He used a skillful fried meatball to instantly pass the tough Uglumba.
After this pass, all the Celtics fans in the stadium were excited!
[This ball has a bit of Iniesta's flavor]
[It's a pity, why didn't Iniesta come to play in the Red Super League at that time, otherwise our players could have learned a few tricks from him]
【Come to Hongchao? What can you use to learn other people's technology with just those boiled chickens?】
[9494, if things go wrong, they might end up with unpaid wages and a shady contract, which will embarrass the whole world]
The barrage of comments was overwhelming, and Chen Xiaoliang, who was chasing relentlessly, was also reminded of his memories by this kick to the fried meatball.
"Damn! Another deep-fried meatball. This thing looks familiar to me!"
He instantly thought of his opponent Steve in the Tottenham trial match. Although he also had a superb dribbling skill, Steve was nowhere near as fast as the Japanese in front of him!
After passing the full-back Uglumba, Davis then helped defend the other two Celtic forwards in the middle. In front of Kento Hideo was only the 1.91-meter-tall central defender Goldson.
Although Goldson, as an Englishman, has no chance of being selected for the extremely competitive England national team among all the international players in Rangers, he is a real veteran having played in mid- and lower-level Premier League teams and the Scottish Premier League for many years.
In this situation, he knew that if he blindly rushed forward and was overtaken, the Japanese striker would be left facing his own goalkeeper one-on-one.
Seeing Chen Xiaoliang chasing him anxiously, Goldson moved sideways in advance, blocking the right side and leaving space on the left side, preventing Kento Hideo from cutting inside and shooting, and luring him to make a cross from the bottom.
As long as he passes the ball, other teammates returning to defend in the middle can rely on their numerical advantage to block the ball!
Goldson's plan is indeed sound, but Guqiao Hengwu has no intention of playing according to your routine at all!
Let me go down, but I won’t!
As soon as he stepped into the penalty area from the ribs, Kento Furuhashi cut inside and with another dribble, he instantly left Goldson, who was turning sideways, behind him.
Old Davis in the middle was looking at Elyounoussi, while another central defender Balogun was still chasing Ayeti who had entered the penalty area.
At this time, there was already enough space in front of Gu Qiao Hengwu to shoot!
He swung his left foot, aimed at the far corner, and prepared to shoot!
Goldson tried desperately to catch up, stretched out his long legs and blocked the ball.
Furuhashi Kengo touched the ball with his left foot, but it was a light lob pass!
Goldson had lost his balance and fell to the ground, the ball was passed to Ayeti who had entered the penalty area, Rangers goalkeeper McGregor rushed out and Balogun was blocking him from behind!
Without stopping the ball, Ayeti knocked it with his right heel and passed it back to Furuhashi Kento who had already run two steps forward!
As soon as the ball was passed, Ayeti collided with McGregor who was attacking! Balogun behind him also collided with Ayeti, and the three of them fell to the ground together!
What a man on top of a man!
Goldson seemed to have taken too big a step just now and hit his balls. He covered his crotch with his hands but it was too late to wake up!
There was a completely empty door in front of Guqiao Hengwu!
More than 50,000 Celtics fans in the stadium were already celebrating in advance!
Gu Qiaoheng shot a shot! As soon as his left foot touched the ball, a black shadow appeared under him!
Chen Xiaoliang tackled both the ball and the player!
Tavernier chased to the front of the goal and saw the ball rolling towards him. He didn't care about anything else and just kicked the ball away with a big kick.
"foul!!!"
"This is a fucking foul!!!"
The whole audience started shouting and cursing.
Seeing the ball go out of bounds, the Celtics players immediately surrounded the referee and asked for a red dot package!
Tavernier was not willing to be outdone, and immediately took old Davis forward to scold the Celtics players who were besieging the referee.
For a moment, the only word on the lips of the players from both sides was a friendly greeting starting with F!
The referee kept waving his hands, asking the players to disperse and not surround him.
He had been following not far behind Gu Qiao and had a very clear view.
But out of fairness and justice, he still dispersed the players from both sides who came to appeal, while holding his headphones with his hands to listen to the video referee team's decision.
Gu Qiaohengwu fell to the ground, holding his calf in pain, and rolled four or five times. His facial expression was distorted, and he howled in pain from time to time, but his eyes kept stealing glances at the referee.
Goldson stood up and took a long breath, then he held his thighs and rubbed them again and again.
"Beep!" The referee whistled and a penalty was about to be made!
At this moment, he is the well-deserved focus!
