On Tuesday, September 10, 2024, the clock is about to ring at 8 p.m., and the eyes of football fans around the world are once again focused on the green field, as the second match of the round of 18 between the Chinese men's national football team (referred to as the national football team) and Saudi Arabia is about to begin. On this night full of unknowns and expectations, despite the different opinions about the results of the game,
But as a long-time observer of Chinese football, I have an unusual premonition that this game may be an unprecedented "boring" challenge for the goalkeepers of the Saudi team.
Opening: The "Calm" of Foresight
In the world of football, goalkeepers are often one of the loneliest characters on the pitch, standing in front of the goal, both as the team's last line of defense and as an occasional overlooked presence in the eyes of spectators. And when the strength of the two teams is very different, or one side is in a sluggish state, the goalkeeper faces not only physical tests, but also psychological torment.
Tonight, I have a hunch that the goalkeepers of the Saudi Arabian team will experience an unprecedented "boring" time, because in my opinion, the performance of the national football team may not bring too much real threat to the opponent.
1. Melon seeds and beer: the goalkeeper's "leisure time"
Faced with a long period of impossibility, my first thought was to prepare two packets of crispy and delicious melon seeds for the Saudi goalkeeper. Melon seeds, a very representative snack in Chinese culture, are not only easy to carry, but also an excellent choice to pass the time. The sound of snorting melon seeds may become a unique scenery on the silent court, and the ensuing thirst problem,
You can do it with a cold bottle of beer. Of course, it is important to emphasize here that you should drink in moderation and never be greedy, after all, as a professional footballer, keeping a clear head and quick reflexes is a top priority.
2. Cigarettes and ashtrays: solace in loneliness
In the atmosphere of the game where tension and pressure are intertwined, men sometimes use cigarettes to seek a moment of peace and relaxation. For the Saudi goalkeeper, when the game enters a stalemate, or the national football team's attacks fail again and again, a cigarette may temporarily relieve his anxiety and loneliness. But please note that what is being promoted here is civilized smoking, bring a portable ashtray,
Making sure you don't leave any traces of incivility on the pitch is both a sign of respect for yourself and a sign of respect for the field.
3. Headphones and music: a haven for the soul
With the advancement of technology, wireless headphones have become an indispensable part of modern people's lives. For the Saudi goalkeeper, a pair of high-quality Bluetooth headphones can not only bring him music enjoyment between games, but also swipe his mobile phone when he is bored, understand the news outside the field, or listen to his favorite songs, so that his soul can get a moment of rest.
Music, a language that transcends borders, may be his best companion in this moment, making him feel at home on the pitch.
Fourth, Kung Fu tea: the elegance of following the local customs
China is a country with a long history of tea culture. Here, drinking tea is not only a living habit, but also a cultural inheritance. For Saudi goalkeepers, try Chinese Kung Fu Tea, bring a small stove and a bag of fine tea leaves, and make a pot of hot tea between games, while savoring the aroma of tea, while observing the situation on the field.
Such a scene can not only make him feel the charm of Chinese culture, but also invisibly improve his mood and make him more relaxed in the game.
5. Telescopes: Capture every wonderful moment
Of course, as a goalkeeper, his main duty is to guard the goal, but the occasional "desertion" is not unavoidable. Bring a portable telescope, not to spy on the beautiful spectators on the sidelines (although this may be the first reaction of many), but to be able to see every wonderful moment on the pitch more clearly when the football is far away from their own half. Whether it is the ingenious cooperation of the national football team,
Or the sharp counterattack of the Saudi team, through the telescope, he can enjoy this football feast from a more unique perspective, making his "boring" time interesting and fulfilling.
Ending: Enjoy the game and respect your opponents
As the final whistle blows, we should give every participant the most sincere applause and respect, regardless of the result. For the Saudi goalkeeper, this game, which may have been a little "boring", may be an unforgettable experience in his career. He spent this time on the pitch in his own way,
Whether it is eating melon seeds, smoking, listening to music, drinking tea, or watching games, it is his unique understanding and interpretation of football and the game. Here, I would also like to say to the Saudi goalkeeper: I hope that during this journey to China, you will not only take away the victory of the game (if any), but also take away the understanding and respect for Chinese culture. As for those "little tricks" to pass the time,
It may become a good story for you to talk and laugh with your friends in the future. For the national football team, whether you win or lose, please keep moving forward, because every fall is to get up better. Finally, I would like to invite every reader to share your thoughts on this game in the comment section, or more suggestions for how the Saudi goalkeeper can pass the boring time.
Let's participate in this football feast together, and use our enthusiasm and wisdom to add more color and fun to the beautiful sport of football.
