China national football team's final opponent in Group C had finally been decided.
The good news was that they knew who their opponent was and could begin studying them.
But there was also bad news: they would be facing a Wales side built around Bell.
For China national football team, the players they feared most were the ones who could batter their way through with sheer physical force.
The gap in physical ability was often difficult to make up for. Wanting to track back but being unable to catch up was the biggest problem.
After the draw results came out, China national football team fans hoped Tang Ye or Escribá would step up and say something. But these two were unbelievable as well. Escribá was diligently preparing for dinner with Erik ten Hag while also speaking up for Cristiano Ronaldo against Erik ten Hag online. Tang Ye was even more ridiculous, spending all day doing God knew what on the football pitch at Beijing Sport University.
"Beep!"
A whistle sounded in the distance, and Tang Ye began his run-up.
He aimed at the ball placed in the open space ahead.
Smack!
A crisp sound rang out as the ball shot into the sky with flecks of grass clinging to it. Tang Ye alternated his feet on the ground, completing his follow-through and deceleration.
"Okay, right?"
He looked toward the cameraman behind him. Once he received a thumbs-up, Tang Ye finally relaxed.
"Not a single mistake, King Tang."
Zheng Zhi walked over, clapping.
They were only simple passing and shooting motions, but Tang Ye had executed them with incredible consistency. He had not made a single mistake
