Chapter 366 His Great Hermit in the City (80 words commemoration)
……
After the fresh rain in the empty mountain, the weather is late in autumn.
To be more precise, it is late winter...
After He Yu was loaned to Provicerli, he went straight to the starting lineup for the official game after only two in-team training sessions.
Provicerli's performance in Serie B this season is not bad.
联赛17轮战罢，6胜3平8负，积21分，排在积分榜的第13位。
This team is almost composed of loan players, and it is already very good to be able to achieve this result.
At least there is no worry about relegation, and there is still hope for upgrading.
The promotion rule of Serie B is that the first and second in the league are directly promoted.
The 3rd to 8th in the league are all eligible to participate in the play-offs. As the saying goes, it is a chaotic battle.
As for the round where He Yu will make his debut, the time is very coincidentally fixed on November 11st.
This day is the opening of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and the opening game will also start at the same time.
In the dark, there is still a little bit of mystery.
……
In the 18th round of Serie B, Provicelli will be at home against Crotone, who is ranked lower.
However, in Europe's sub-level leagues, there is not much disparity in strength.
The two sides of the game are all about the state of the field and luck.
He Yu made his debut, with a familiar number and an unfamiliar jersey.
He seemed to be a different person. In this game, he played high and low gears and played bravely.
Provicerli was in the frontcourt, relying on Mastour, and scored a long shot in the second half.
In the end, they won 1-0.
He Yu also fulfilled his wish, his first clean sheet in Serie B.
Different game intensity, but the same passion.
He seemed to feel like he had found himself again, and he was getting used to the thrill of winning without conceding a goal.
……
The match was held in the afternoon. After the end, He Yu and the three friends returned to the team dormitory together to prepare to watch the opening game of the World Cup.
Winter in Qatar is also unusually hot.
Qatar, as the host, has been under tremendous pressure before the advent of this World Cup.
Just because of the arrangements for this season alone, the European powerhouses didn't scold them to death.
Teams with average strength are almost all ready for the first round of the group stage, and they are all acceptable.
After half a month, they can disband and return to the club to report.
And those teams that aspire to win the championship will have to endure another half a month.
Once in the finals, after the game, there is not much rest time, and those top players have to return directly to their respective clubs.
This is also a rare feeling, although a little tired.
But for those players who failed to participate in the World Cup, they can only envy this tiredness...
The opening game is host Qatar, against South American side Paraguay.
As a seeded team, Qatar has drawn a good lottery.
And their head coach is even more memorable.
As early as a long time ago, after Zidane left Real Madrid, he coached the Qatar national team with a maximum salary of 4000 million euros per year.
I have to say that the oil tycoons in the Middle East are indeed rich.
Even at the moment, this is definitely the highest salary in the world, no matter the player or the coach.
The final result is still acceptable.
Qatar and Paraguay drew 0-0, which opened a bad curtain for this strange World Cup.
……
After a week passed, the first round of the World Cup group stage was all over.
Among them, there are many unpopular occurrences, and there are also strong and powerful encounters...
In the 16 matches in the first round of the group stage, 81% of the matches were within one goal.
The strong teams are not strong, and the underdogs are not weak. This also shows that the strength gap between the old giants and the non-rich teams is really getting smaller and smaller.
For a long time, it has long been an indisputable fact that the pace, excitement, technical and tactical level of the World Cup will be inferior to that of the Champions League.
365 days a year, the number of games and team training time of the national team is far from being comparable to that of the club. What follows is the lack of team integration, tacit understanding of players, and lack of implementation of the coach's tactical thinking.
The comprehensive superposition of these factors has further narrowed the gap in the true level of the two sides in international competitions.
The inefficiency of the giants on the offensive end is also one of the reasons for the scarcity of goals in this tournament.
The combat effectiveness of a star-studded "strong team" with insufficient running-in and a united and well-prepared "underdog" is often not as bluffing as the paper gap between the two sides.
Regardless of strength or weakness, in a major event like the World Cup, which is held every four years, the first consideration of each team is not to win, but how to ensure that they will not lose first.
There are only a handful of teams that still stick to the aggressive, self-centered game.
The requirements of performance and the pressure of public opinion have made many coaches more timid and cautious.
When facing an opponent whose strength is between equals or even significantly higher than their own, what everyone thinks is not how to maximize their strengths and avoid weaknesses.
Instead, he was thinking about how to limit the opponent's performance at all costs.
But if every team becomes more and more conservative and utilitarian, then the beauty and enjoyment of football will be greatly reduced.
Football, after all, is still a game, it is entertainment and enjoyment.
It's just that in the face of utilitarianism and honor, it all becomes nothingness.
……
He Yu's daily schedule consists of training and competitions.
Serie B has a tight schedule, almost double matches a week.
In addition to this, he also has leisure time to watch football, taste ball, chat and entertain with those few friends.
What is different from them is that when Mastour and Greco saw Italy playing, their eyes were full of envy and longing.
And as Bentancur, who has already represented Uruguay and once played in the World Cup, his eyes reveal more of a kind of regret.
He Yu is different from theirs.
There were no complex emotions in his eyes.
Yes, just the desire to learn from those top goalkeepers.
Some are just worries about their own motherland.
……
Year after year, every four years.
He doesn't know if he still has a chance in this life to see the Chinese team in the World Cup.
Still, he believes, the future is good.
This time, the national football team once again fell to the top twelve.
The Football Association has set its goal on the World Cup in North America four years later.
During this period, Lin Xiaye had a video chat with He Yu once.
The general meaning is to know if He Yu has the idea of fighting for the country.
However, after all, in 2026, four years later, He Yu will be 37 years old.
At that time, it is still unknown whether he has retired or not...
No matter how hot the football atmosphere outside is, He Yu's heart is still calm.
That's what it means to hide from the world...
