That night, the World Cup kicked off with Argentina facing Croatia.
Mei Xi played as the forward.
Many fans of Mei Xi, including Lin Shanshan, Lin Yunxi, and Nangong Haitang, had been eagerly waiting in front of their TVs for Mei Xi's appearance.
Once the match started, an aggressive tackle from Croatia's player sent shockwaves through the Argentina team, showing Croatia's fierce fighting spirit.
However, the much-expected Mei Xi did not show the strength that a football legend should have.
In this match, his running distance was the least of all players, and he was completely restricted by Croatia's defense; even his only shot was blocked.
Missing their captain, the Argentina team lost to Croatia with a score of 0:3.
However, the criticism of Mei Xi was not as harsh as expected, everyone understood that carrying a team alone was tough, and considering he was heavily targeted throughout the game, his performance was not too bad.
