MM Racing Chapter 42 The taste is too strong
Chapter 42 The taste is too strong
Mixed interview area.
Son Heung-min, still sweating, was surrounded by reporters with their cameras and microphones.
"Sun, how would you evaluate today's defeat?"
"It's a pity, partly because our recent league schedule has been too tiring, and partly because Monaco's coach is really too good."
"You and Jiang are both Asian players, what's your opinion of him?"
"He was very good, played with great sportsmanship, and didn't waste time because of my foul when the team was behind."
Just then, Son Heung-min glanced up and suddenly saw Jiang Ming passing by in the players' tunnel.
He immediately raised his hand and waved, greeting, "Hey! Jiang!"
Jiang Ming was slowly preparing to leave the stadium.
As soon as he heard someone call his name, he immediately looked up.
Son Heung-min said "Wait a moment" to the reporters in front of him and gently pushed aside the camera equipment blocking his way.
He squeezed through the crowd and quickly walked up to Jiang Ming.
"Jiang, you played so beautifully in that match, it was absolutely perfect!"
Son Heung-min raised his fist, holding it in mid-air.
"You guys too, Good Game."
Jiang Ming raised his hand and bumped fists with him.
Son Heung-min chuckled and shook his head: "That last powerful shot of yours was outrageous!"
"I still don't understand how you managed to control that half-high ball and kick it at such high speed."
"Even our forwards struggle to score on this kind of ball, let alone a midfielder like you."
"We were lucky," Jiang Ming said.
"That's not luck, your movements are like you've been practicing for many years..." Son Heung-min became more and more excited as he spoke.
Jiang Ming scratched his head, thinking to himself: This guy just lost the game, and he's still praising his opponent. He has such a good mentality!
As Son Heung-min spoke, his voice unconsciously grew a little louder.
The surrounding reporters then noticed the commotion.
So these two Asian football stars were interacting privately!
Upon seeing this, the reporters nearby immediately raised their cameras.
The sound of camera shutters clicking filled the air instantly.
A reporter, quick-witted and agile, stepped forward and asked, "Could you two please take a photo together?"
The other reporters nodded in agreement.
A post-match photo of two Asian football stars has generated a huge amount of buzz!
Son Heung-min glanced at Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming nodded.
The two stood side by side.
Son Heung-min gave Jiang Ming a thumbs-up, a gesture often associated with male photographers.
After taking the photo, Son Heung-min patted Jiang Ming on the back and said, "Good luck in the knockout stage. I hope you can lift the trophy in the end."
"That way we'll only lose to the champion, so it's not shameful..." Son Heung-min joked at the end.
Jiang Ming nodded: "The same goes for you. Good luck in the league."
"Perhaps Tottenham's first league title will come this season."
Although he sounded a little guilty saying it.
Tottenham's league ranking is indeed quite high this season.
But Jiang Ming knew in his heart that this season's Premier League was hiding a dark horse that could be called the biggest dark horse in football history...
……
On the team's chartered flight back, the teammates were all making a ruckus.
Having just won the game, a group of young men were clamoring to go out for a meal together.
Jardim didn't interfere too much, after all, the team had won such a wonderful game.
If this were in Italy, the whole team would go for a foot massage and a music party.
Jiang Ming leaned back in his chair and took Mendes' business card out of his pocket.
He remembered what Mendes had said to him in the players' tunnel.
"Jiang, do you want to become the world's number one internet celebrity?"
"If you'd like, we can discuss this in detail in France in a couple of days."
"You can answer that question then..."
……
"The world's number one traffic star?" Jiang Ming murmured.
He shook his head.
I put all these random thoughts aside for the time being.
He decided to check the rewards for tonight's mission first.
As soon as Jiang Ming opened the system, a series of notification sounds popped up instantly.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission objective: Help your team win and advance to the knockout stage]
In the crucial Europa League match, with the team trailing by three goals, you single-handedly contributed to four goals with one goal and three assists! You single-handedly carried the team into the knockout stage!
[Reward: Luka Modric "Clean Ball" module]
[Luka Modric "Clean the Ball" module: When the ball is in possession, it marks the direction of the opponent's pressing and defensive gaps in the first-person view.]
[Note: From herding sheep in Zadar to becoming a master at the Bernabéu, there's no ball he can't retrieve, only sheep he can't herd home.]
Jiang Ming was stunned when he read the description.
Modric's dirty ball module?
He was worried during the previous match that he didn't have enough stamina and wouldn't be able to pass the ball when he was being pressed.
That's great, with this module, there's nothing to worry about anymore.
When people think of washing a dirty ball, their first thought is that it means cleaning the ball thoroughly.
But in football, this is a technical term.
The core role is to retrieve the ball from the danger zone and pass it to an open teammate under intense pressure from the opponent.
This ability is absolutely crucial for midfielders.
Modric is one of Real Madrid's three ceremonial midfielders.
He later won the Ballon d'Or and became the world's best midfielder at the time.
His ability to clean up messes is undeniably strong.
Throughout the history of football, the team has always been aiming for third place and striving for first.
"And this is a module..." Jiang Ming thought to himself.
Unlike previous moves like Ronaldo's Bull Tail Dribble, which required agility, or Carlos's Heavy Cannon, which required strength and physical endurance, this is a skill that can be actively used.
The modules are different; one can directly grant him the passive abilities of a legendary superstar.
"Feeling great." Jiang Ming turned off the system, leaned back, and completely settled into his seat.
He's already looking forward to seeing how he can use this ability to steadily retrieve the ball when facing multiple defenders in future games.
The plane crossed the English Channel, and the sea outside the window shimmered with silver light under the moonlight.
……
Today, Dongqiudi (a popular sports betting platform) is generating a lot of buzz.
Every news item on the homepage is about Tottenham vs. Monaco.
The core of all the news was the MVP of the game.
"Asia's Ultimate Showdown! China's Young Player Scores One Goal and Assists Three, Completely Defeating South Korean Superstar!!"
He single-handedly orchestrated a four-goal comeback against Tottenham! Could he be the new answer for Chinese football?
Jiang Ming! The new leading figure for the Chinese national team in their quest for the World Cup!
Post-match photo together! Son Heung-min gives a thumbs-up, saying Jiang Ming is too perfect!
Even Weibo users who rarely touch football were blown away by this match and made it to the top of the trending searches.
#Jiang Ming scores four goals to come back and defeat Tottenham#
#Who understands? Jiang Ming is so handsome!#
#It's a shame Jiang Ming's face isn't in the Chinese entertainment industry#
Family members, does anyone understand?
I originally clicked on the football trending topics to follow the gossip.
But he was completely captivated by the handsome guy's face!
Some veteran fans were even cursing in the comments section.
Can you please focus on penalties? Stop focusing on looks all the time!
As a result, she was shut down by a fan girl who said, "Mind your own business."
Before long, nobody was talking about football anymore.
They're all just analyzing Jiang Ming's looks.
A large number of people even went to the official Weibo account of the sports brand.
They're constantly tagging people, urging them to send Jiang Ming an endorsement deal.
If Jiang Ming, who was on the plane, had heard this news, he would have only sighed.
The taste is too strong...
