Fun posts from NetEase

NetEase is the news feed app I use on my iPhone. Me and everyone love NetEase because of the hilarious and wise posts in the comment section, although very often the news themselves are just crap.

On the legendary Chinese footballer Qin Shen

秦升者,辽宁大连人士。升少顽劣,唯喜球状物,父奇之,遂使其以蹴鞠为业。升有慧根,入小学,号“球王”。

升成年,入鲁能队,不得志。辗转于青、苏之间。遇裴公恩才。裴公爱其才,令其以后腰为业,密授机宜曰:凡战,激之以乱,可得先机。升悟,遂引为立身之法。

升自此以后腰为业,每战必上下其手,口出国粹,虽外援亦不能免也。成功即得寸进尺,事败则摊手示冤。升于中超纵横数年,多有入觳吃牌者。

七年,升随舜天战实德。实德主将安氏贞焕者,南朝鲜人也,为前锋,有万夫不当之勇,尝斩意大利于半决赛。升俱其勇,乃出秘伎,以朝语激之,称“狗崽子”。安氏怒,虽染黄不肯罢休,欲以老拳击升不可得。升一战成名,号“骂神”。

李公章洙惜其才,乃聘升至豪门恒大。升技愈强,有炉火纯青之效。时人叹曰:“吾上将秦升,可与巴西教练法利亚斯互喷,可与尼日利亚友人雅库布说笑,可与日本裁判沟通,真乃神人也!”

十二年,恒大拜里皮为帅,尽屠对手,入亚冠决赛,与首尔FC战于羊城。双方互有攻守,战况胶着。及下半场90分钟,FC攻势如潮,恒大风声鹤唳。里皮遂召秦升,以目视之。升会意,出阵掷手抛球,以朝语激FC助理教练。其人果中计被罚。彼时赛时将尽,补时三分而升耗其半。恒大遂稳住阵脚,死守胜出,为亚冠冠军。

太史公曰:升虽武夫,能通四国语言,以口舌退敌万军。光头马氏之后,天下唯此一人矣!
