A Korean player drove the ball into the penalty area, but China's defense was too crowded.
A defender cleared the ball with a powerful kick, sending it straight to midfield.
That's right!
The ball landed at the feet of the great Emperor, whose dribbling was said to be akin to Pelé's!
The Emperor continued his aggressive run with the ball.
The first Korean defender rushed forward. The Emperor began to use his "Phantom Evasive Steps." Somehow, the defender slipped, then collided with the Emperor. The ball went out of bounds for a goal kick.
China's corner kick!
Before the corner was taken, China's team immediately sent their tallest players into the Korean penalty box.
The corner kick was delivered. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Korean goalkeeper pushed the ball away with both hands!
But!
Under the gaze of countless people worldwide, the football accurately struck the Emperor's posterior. With a graceful twist of his hips…
The ball found the net!
Silence.
The entire Seoul Sports Center, with tens of thousands of Korean fans, fell into a deafening hush.
Let alone them, even Ye Yun and the others watching on TV were silent!
"Holy hell, I've lived this long and this is the first time I've ever seen a goal like this!" Xu Jiaguo's jaw nearly dropped in astonishment.
However, before he could finish speaking, the game's momentum shifted dramatically.
The Korean team quickly restarted. Two forwards, in quick succession, dribbled past several Chinese defenders!
They then drove into the penalty box, poised to shoot!
But once again, the resilient Chinese defense cleared the ball with a desperate kick.
This time, however, they weren't as lucky.
Unfortunately, the ball struck the face of the damn Korean referee!
The poor referee collapsed, blood gushing from his nose.
But!
The ball, without deviation, landed at the Emperor's feet once more.
The crowd was silent for a full three seconds. The players were stunned. The referee lay on the ground, gasping for breath.
One must admit.
Our Emperor was quite gentlemanly!
His first instinct was to blast the ball out of bounds…
As a great nation, how could they take advantage of such a situation?
But!
We cannot overlook the Emperor's pinpoint accuracy!
Normally, when a Chinese player aimed for the opponent's goal, the ball would fly towards the corner flag. But if he aimed for the corner flag…
Boom!
Under the silent gaze of tens of thousands of spectators at the Seoul Stadium, the football flew into the Korean goal at a bizarre angle. Da Feng Novel Network.
The Korean goalkeeper, who had advanced slightly, tried desperately to make a save, but the Emperor's shot was truly a "divine touch"!
A "celestial fairy" move!
Consider this.
It looked like he was aiming for the corner flag, but a few seconds later, the ball was heading for the goal…
At this point, the referee finally got up. He looked at the dumbfounded players from both sides, hesitated for a moment, and blew his whistle – the goal was valid!
The entire stadium erupted!
The Koreans were in disbelief! The fans were in a frenzy!
The Chinese coaching staff was ecstatic! The players were jubilant!
Only His Majesty, the Emperor, remained calm!
The Emperor looked up at the sky with a look of near collapse. Noticing the cameras approaching him…
Ahem!
The Emperor clenched his fists, feigning excitement, and roared!
Long live China!
Long live China!
In just ten minutes, the Chinese team had scored two goals, bringing the score to a 2-2 draw!
"What the hell, can someone tell me if this is a damn movie!"
The entire hall was silent. Zhao Guanying was close to tears.
Damn it.
What were those Koreans thinking!
They actually let China tie the game!
And the goals were so absurd!
"Don't worry, Young Master Zhao, the game isn't over yet. China needs to score one more to decide the winner," Lin Shiyou quickly chimed in with a taunt.
Without Ye Yun needing to say anything, Lin Shiyou jumped out to mock him.
Zhao Guanying suppressed his emotions in the face of Lin Shiyou's sarcastic remark.
Fortunately, the score was currently tied.
As long as the Koreans played better and scored another goal, he would still win!
As for China scoring and defeating Korea?
Was that even possible?
He was joking!
Zhao Guanying didn't want Lin Shiyou, that idiot, to see his shocked expression.
The astonishment on his face instantly turned into ferocity. He looked at Lin Shiyou and said coldly.
"You're right, the outcome isn't decided yet. Don't get too happy too soon! I believe Korea will win!"
Lin Shiyou shrugged indifferently. "Then let's keep watching."
As Lin Shiyou finished speaking, both sides turned their attention back to the big screen.
On TV, the Korean and Chinese players were fiercely contesting the ball.
In the next twenty minutes, the Korean players seemed spurred by the two previous goals. They launched over twenty attacks on the Chinese goal!
An average of one attack per minute!
However, these shots were either cleared by the Chinese defenders or saved by the goalkeeper.
Finally!
With the last clearance kick from a defender to midfield.
The ball once again landed at the Emperor's feet!
This time, having suffered a loss already, the Korean players were sure to guard against the Emperor!
Seeing the Emperor receive the ball, a full four defenders rushed forward.
In this situation, if the Emperor continued to hold the ball, he would undoubtedly lose it!
And the Emperor, at that moment, made the smartest decision.
He kicked the ball forcefully and quickly retreated to his own penalty area to defend, determined to prevent the Koreans from scoring!
Although…
His goal had already been riddled with holes.
But in this situation, a simple clearance was enough. He just needed to stall for time.
However…
At this moment, what would be spoken of by Chinese people for forty years to come, a goal hailed as the greatest and most mystical from the first World Cup in 1930 to 2061, occurred!
The ball, kicked with all his might by the Emperor, flew through the air…
Well, there was no curve this time, as the Emperor had kicked it casually without any aim.
Therefore, it shot almost straight, like a bullet, towards the Korean team's number one defender, hitting the young man squarely in the face!
With a cry of pain, the Korean number one defender fell, clutching his face. The ball bounced off him, deflecting to the Korean number two defender, who unfortunately suffered a severe blow to his groin and collapsed to his knees, clutching his crotch and screaming.
And the ball, after another deflection, rolled under the goalkeeper's legs and into the goal…
The goalkeeper was on the verge of tears… a wild kick, after two deflections, then…
Ahem!
China led Korea 3-2!
The rest of the match was a foregone conclusion.
Even though the Korean football team was considered a strong contender, and they had a world-class player like Son, ranked in the top ten globally.
But facing such a superhuman goal…
Even Ultraman couldn't withstand it.
Five minutes later, as the final whistle blew.
In this World Cup qualifier chase, after conceding two goals in the second half, the Chinese football team, thanks to the Emperor's hat-trick, scored three consecutive goals in a short period.
They became the biggest dark horse of this qualifying campaign, defeating the Korean football team 3-2!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Xu Jiaguo, Zhao Guanying, and even Yang Yue, everyone in the room dropped their beer glasses.
Then, with the eyes of those who had seen a ghost, they stared intently at Ye Yun…
China.
Won?
Did they qualify for the World Cup?
