After the final whistle, South Korea still lost by one goal. But if you love football enough, these two domineering goals are enough to make you cry. Football should be so beautiful, it should be full of blood.
The one who ignited the fans' passion was Cao Guicheng, an idol player who became popular on the Internet this week and won 7, fans with his face. From this day on, his skills were as famous as Yan value.
Cao Guicheng scored twice
In the first game of the World Cup, in the 74th minute of the match between South Korea and Uruguay, the South Korean team made personnel adjustments, and Cao Guicheng came on stage and replaced Huang Yi Fu. The new 1.88-meter center handled the ball well several times, but it didn't change the situation of the Korean team's weakness. In the end, the two sides tied -.
However, a hot topic was born in this boring game-"Who is the No.9 Korean team?" Fans searched all over search engines and social media for his subtle news, and even in South America, he became a hot search list. The 24-year-old named Cao Guicheng quickly spread all over the Internet, and a video made by fans immediately exceeded 6 million times.
Cao Guicheng's social media is not commonly used, and there were less than 3, fans before. But just after the game, it rose to 25 thousand, and the next day, it was 7 thousand. Up to now, it has reached 1.3 million.
Social media has gone crazy
It's simply because of looks-Cao Guicheng has the handsome appearance of a Korean star, and his height of 1.88 meters and the strong figure of a football player are the idols of thousands of girls.
how to describe the fanaticism of fans? A top story on Cao Guicheng's homepage has nearly 5, likes and more than 25, comments. Since the World Cup began, there have been new comments almost every minute, from different languages around the world. His gesture of crossing his forefinger and middle finger on his mouth has also become an explosion among young Koreans.
iconic action
In fact, his face value has long been discovered by Korean fans, but the World Cup made him completely out of the circle. When playing football in Korea, every time before and after the game, and even on the training ground, a large number of female fans took photos and asked him to sign for a group photo. In South Korea, where the entertainment idol industry is very developed, these stars know how to get along with fans. Therefore, Cao Guicheng's humility and courtesy have always given him an excellent reputation, making him known as the "K League Warm Man".
of course, it's always about grades on the field. In this South Korean team, Cao Guicheng is still an absolute newcomer. He made his debut for South Korea in September 221, and had only 16 national team experiences before the World Cup. If you have to talk about talent, it is hard for Cao Guicheng to compare with his predecessors. At the age of 24, he has been playing in China before, and his worth at this time is only 1.5 million euros. And just returned to Jeonbuk Hyundai after military service, and there are not many opportunities for performance.
Yan value is quite high
Cao Guicheng was born in a sports family. His father is a professional football player and his mother is a volleyball player. He is 1.77 meters tall. His parents inherited his excellent physical fitness and, of course, his beautiful face. From a very young age, Cao Gui watched his father play football with his football on the sidelines. When he first played football in grade one, he was praised by the coach, saying that he was a good prospect born for football.
But in fact, he didn't stand out. He didn't play the main force in middle school. In high school, he first took pictures of his seniors on the sidelines. In order to get into the main force lineup, Cao Guicheng decided to practice on his own. He always arrived an hour early and left an hour late. In this way, in the last year of high school, he finally played in the starting lineup.
After that, he came to Gwangju University, but he was still not good enough. He was often advised by the teachers of the school to study hard and not take the road of career. In the freshman year, Cao Guicheng, who was full of confusion, met his Bole. At that time, Li Chengxi, the head coach of the university, saw his excellent physical condition and suggested that he change from the lower back to the center. Just one year later, he shined brilliantly and was attracted by many famous teams.
"If it weren't for coach Li, I don't know what I would have done now," he said with a smile, "but I will regret it every day because I didn't play my career."
Cao Guicheng in college
After graduating from college, he went to Jeonbuk Hyundai, a strong team. As a result, he met COVID-19 in his rookie season, and the league was postponed indefinitely. Like other teammates and many football players in the world, Cao Guicheng was kept in the house doing nothing.
"Practice in the morning, then eat and sleep," he said. "Practice another group in the afternoon, and come back for dinner and rest." He hinted that during the offseason of the epidemic, the quality of athletes' training could not be guaranteed, and there was no special coach to watch, so the intensity dropped a lot, or if they were secretly lazy, they would not be found.
But Cao Guicheng understands that training is for himself. At that time, many teammates felt claustrophobic, anxious and irritable, but he was not affected. I still train hard every day, come back to study and watch videos of my favorite stars, Jiang Yuan and Yoo Ah In.
Cao Guicheng is in a good mood
"I have to ensure that my physical condition always reaches the highest level," he said. "It's hard to say when the league will start. I have to ensure my best condition at all times."
It is with this mentality that Cao Guicheng quickly gained a foothold and immediately became the favorite of fans. His humanoid card always attracts fans to take photos, and the official products of the team are all looking for him as a model.
In his rookie season, his jersey sales broke the team's historical record. Before that, Jeonbuk Hyundai's jersey sales champion was legendary striker Li Tongguo. As a result, it was broken by Cao Guicheng in his first year.
Cao Guicheng is very clear about the fact that he is angry because of his face value, and he doesn't shy away from it. As a fashion lover, he will also try his best to take some beautiful photos. He is also embarrassed to say that sometimes in order to choose a photo with the best effect, he will ask his friends to take it over and over again, and at most he will take more than 1 photos.
"Sometimes when I walk on the road, I feel that I have a good temperament, so I quickly take pictures," he said. "Taking a good-looking photo is also an important part of my life."
likes to take photos every day
but he also knows that players should rely on their strength to speak. During military service, professional players will join the military team Jin Quan Shangwu Team on loan, and Cao Guicheng seized this opportunity and won the K1 League top scorer with 13 goals in 23 games in a single season, so he was selected to the Korean national team.
and his first national team goal, that is, this year, the friendly match against Iceland, he scored a goal, and he has been able to seize the opportunity ever since. The most recent competition was the East Asia Cup. In the first game, he played the whole game against China, and scored the third goal in the 8th minute, helping the Korean team beat China 3-.
To be exact, before the World Cup, he didn't participate in too high-level competitions, and not many people had high hopes for him. In other words, if the South Korean team's attack was not weak in the first game, he might not get the chance to start the second game. But sometimes, the opportunity is just like a cross, just hitting your head, and all you have to do is push it in.
Cao Guicheng scored the first goal
In the 58th minute, Li Gangren sent out the full moon machete, and Cao Guicheng grabbed the ball in front of the defender and headed it into the goal. And after 3 minutes, Jin Su Kim left the side, Cao Guicheng suddenly and violently rose in the middle, and violently pushed the ball to the middle of the goal. Although the goalkeeper judged the right direction, he was helpless about this powerful header, and the ball still bounced into the goal when it hit the goalkeeper.
Super air
This goal is also regarded by many as the most "violent aesthetic" goal of this World Cup so far. Just three minutes later, the Koreans equalized the score. The 24-year-old center proved that he was by no means a showman, and also proved one thing. Those who came early and left late for extra practice time will certainly bear fruit.
Although the South Korean team was defeated in the end, Cao Guicheng's career battle for fame was not more dazzling, but he became the first player in the history of South Korea to score twice in a single World Cup and the first player in Asia to score two headers in a single game. He has been recognized by the world. After the game, he was dragged to sum up the game, and his answer was both an athlete and an idol.
"The whole team played this game as a final, but unfortunately, it didn't bring a victory to the fans who stayed up late to watch the ball. What we can do is not to give up in the last game and try our best to win. "
"I have a dream of scoring in the World Cup, and it's really beautiful to play football with my dream. Being able to score goals on the stage of the World Cup feels as dreamy as dreaming of being caught up by yourself. I have always supported my family and fans, thank you, please continue to support me. "
Cao Guicheng was interviewed
Maybe after the World Cup, he will get the favor of bigger clubs and go to Europe to play football. Greater opportunities and more difficult challenges, but Cao Guicheng is not worried about pressure. Like those idols, he always knows that the love of fans will not last forever. They will not support you unconditionally, and they will always urge you to exercise well. And all you can repay them is your grades.
"I keep telling myself not to forget who I am," he said. "My job is to play football that fans like to watch, and the only thing I can do is to overcome difficulties."
"I am a football player after all."
