Fox in the Penalty Area

Hu Lai can actually shoot long shots, but most of the time he still likes to solve problems in the penalty area, so everyone has always had the impression of Hu Lai as a shooter who grabs points in front of the goal. The closer he is to the goal, the greater the threat.

His long-range goals are few and far between.

But in any case, the best goal in the World Cup last year was the world wave he blasted in just after the middle circle!

Of course, after that game, Hu Lai said in an interview that his kick was blind, it was all due to luck, and he didn't have any technical content. He also didn't admit that he was good at long shots...

That goal is indeed not explained by Hu Lai's proficiency in long-range shots. Even other players who are good at long-range shots have to rely on luck to score such a goal.

So no one thought there was anything wrong with Hu Lai's explanation.

As a result, no one expected that Hu Lai's cannon roared in this game, breaking the deadlock for the Chinese team and opening the scoring.

After the goal, Hou Lai did not run to the corner flag area - because that ran too far.

He ran two steps towards the middle circle, jumped up and made his signature celebration, and was surrounded by excited national team teammates.

※※※

"Hu Lai!! This long-range shot is earth-shattering! It hit Mexico's defense by surprise! Perez never expected that he would take a long-range shot in that place... leaving enough space for Hou Lai! The first half In the 36th minute of the game, the Chinese team led Mexico 1-0!"

In the TV broadcast, after Hu Lai finished his celebration, it cut to the cheering fans in the stands.

In the bar outside the TV, Wu Yue and his partners, who were cheering and celebrating, suddenly saw a banner:

"One school with four national football players, two times of three tiger players - Dongchuan Middle School, the 'cradle of national football', cheers for the Chinese team!"

"It's Dongchuan Middle School! Here we come!" The players of the former Jiaxiang High School football team became excited, looking for their school's banner on the screen with wide eyes.

Then they saw another banner under the banner of Dongchuan Middle School, but the words on it... were a bit weird:

"The little girl is full of water and soil, so rich, so full of strength, so strong, so strong."

The excitement of a group of people seemed to have been poured with cold water, and the flags died down. They looked at each other, and finally someone asked: "Is this our banner?"

"It seems to be... right?" Someone replied in an uncertain tone.

Then they all looked at Wu Yue who claimed to hand over the banner to Yan Yan himself.

Wu Yue, who came back to his senses, cursed angrily:

"Yan Yan of Dog Day!!"

※※※

"Ahahahaha!! Hu Lai Niubi! Dongchuan Middle School Niubi!!"

In the stands, Yan Yan was cheering for Hu Lai's goal with his teammates, and suddenly shivered.

But he didn't take it to heart.

Must be overexcited...

um, yes!

"The Chosen One, the Eternal God!!" He raised his arms and shouted.

"Facing the powerful Mexico, the Chinese team's offense still scored goals! After changing to 352, the Chinese team did not lose speed, on the contrary, it was more flexible. Adjustments can be made according to different situations. When speed is needed, speed is needed. You can control it too!"

Amid the deafening cheers at the scene, He Feng shouted at the top of his voice.

"That's right, He Feng! We can still rely on the speed of the two sides when we are fighting back. In fact, even if Hu Lai doesn't shoot the ball himself, he can still distribute the ball to the right. Luo Kai on the right has already rushed At the same time, after Chen Xingyi passed the football to Hu Lai, he did not stay where he was, but accelerated forward... So even during the counterattack, the Chinese team still had several shots. As for the situation where one point is blocked, there is nothing to do!"

In fact, it is not just the two collusion points mentioned by Yan Kang.

Behind Hu Lai, Zhang Qinghuan, Zhou Zijing and Xia Xiaoyu are all rushing forward, and Hu Lai can also pass the football back,

Then he made an empty cut and took the opponent's defender away, creating a huge space for the three teammates who advanced forward.

Of course, in the end, Hu Lai used his own personal ability to solve the problem, but it saved his teammates from having to run so far to celebrate... It can be regarded as not letting them run for nothing.

In front of the coaching bench off the court, the head coach Jorge Dillon laughed: "Why don't I talk to Hu alone? Because there is no need! Look! As long as he plays normally, he can score goals. What is there to talk about?" of? Shall I ask him to do chores?"

Yu Jintao and assistant coach Sequeros laughed after hearing the words.

Before the official assembly of the national team, Dillon approached Zhou Zijing, Xia Xiaoyu, Luo Kai, Chen Xingyi, and Wang Guangwei one by one to discuss this matter, but was later let out by the media closely related to the national team.

The media that released the news must hope that everyone will pay attention to what Dillon and them talked about alone, so as to find out Dillon's coaching ideas for this Chinese team.

As a result, the focus of discussion on the Internet at that time was "Why didn't Dillon find Hu Lai alone"?

It also caused some conspiracy theories, saying that Dillon didn't like Hu Lai, and that Hu Lai fell out of favor in Dillon's national team...

Dillon didn't explain either, he was too lazy to share knowledge with those people on the Internet, after all, he was charged for interviews, even if it was to clarify rumors about himself, this rule could not be broken.

Yes, except for the press conference before and after the game, Dillon will charge for interviews on other occasions-by the minute. One hundred euros per minute for an interview of no more than fifteen minutes. TV interviews can be done regardless of time, the last time was 30,000 euros.

This was the case when he was coaching the Dashun Golden Arrowhead. This once caused reporters to complain in private, and most of the scandals related to Dillon on the Internet said that he was extremely greedy for money, stingy and stingy...

In fact, the price is not expensive, but it is not comfortable to charge for any interview, and the price is calculated by the minute. The relationship between the interview and the interviewee is a pure money transaction, which makes people think of some ancient special profession...

But Dillon went his own way and didn’t care what others said—he didn’t come to China to teach for money, did he come to teach for public welfare?

And after he became the coach of the national team, the voices of dissatisfaction with him for being charged for interviews have decreased a lot, after all, they have different identities now. In addition, the Football Association also specially greeted the media, not to discuss Dillon’s collection of money for interviews, and not to portray the national team coach as a money-grubbing villain. After all, this is also very detrimental to the image of the entire Chinese team.

They can't control Dillon, but they can still control the domestic media—the disobedient media will never get the right to interview the national team.

With the outstanding performance of the Chinese team in the semi-finals of this year's China Cup, the voices of conspiracy theories on the Internet have gradually disappeared.

the reason is simple:

Regardless of whether there is any conflict between Hu Lai and Dillon, his performance as a starter in the semi-finals and scoring twice makes all speculation meaningless-with Hu Lai's strength and performance, which head coach would dare to let him go? of? Which head coach has the ability to lead the Chinese team to the World Cup without Hu Lai? What? Jorge Dillon is the world famous coach? It won't work even if the famous commander of the universe comes!

After Hu Lai scored the goal, the Chinese team played more relaxed.

After the game against South Africa, the players had a deeper understanding of the new formation and tactics.

With the momentum of the goal, they suppressed Mexico, which is ranked seventeenth in the world, on the scene.

This made the Chinese fans at the game site and in front of the TV very excited-Mexico was the top 16 team in the last World Cup! We can suppress Mexico now, does it mean that this Chinese team is likely to reach the quarterfinals of the World Cup? !

Although this kind of analogy is actually meaningless, it can't be held back that everyone just loves to imagine it this way.

It was not until a few minutes before the end of the first half that the Chinese team took the initiative to slow down the pace and retreated back to prevent the defense from being stuck in order to avoid being seized by Mexico.

Mexico also reorganized their offensive and tried to equalize before the end of the first half.

But they didn't.

The reclaimed Chinese team has three defenders in the middle, while Chen Xingyu and Luo Kai on the wing can make up for their lack of defensive skills with speed and fighting spirit.

In addition, Xia Xiaoyu and Gao Ruimin actively ran to intercept the harassment in the midfield, which also made Mexico's offense in the midfield run poorly.

Did not leave much room for them to display.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the cheers from the Provincial Sports Center almost made people think that the game was over...

Chinese fans hope that the game will end here, and the Chinese team will win the first China Cup.

Although the gold content is actually mediocre, he is still a champion after all!

In fact, there are not many champions in Chinese football...

Before the final, some fans felt that Mexico was very strong, and they did not dare to have higher demands on the Chinese team, as long as they could play with style and level.

But after watching the first half, everyone felt that the Chinese team was doing well.

Get a champion!

Even if it is a champion with low gold content...

It can also make everyone happy for a while.

PS, Happy National Day everyone!

Guaranteed minimum monthly pass during the double monthly pass period~~!

When everyone reads this chapter, I have already driven on the highway with my family...

Speaking of this time last year, I also took my family out to play, but at that time there were still 20 chapters on file. But who would have thought that it would be my last brilliance—the twenty chapters of manuscripts are the time when I have the most manuscripts except for the opening of this book.

But this time, I only have ten chapters on file. In fact, ten chapters of manuscripts have been saved the most in the past few months.

On National Day last year, Hu Lai was still in the Chinese League One. In the past year alone, he has come to Europe and become the Premier League Golden Boot and the World Cup Golden Boot.

I have to sigh with emotion, time is like water. Before he knew it, Hu Lai was no longer that unknown person.

Not only for the characters in the book, but also for me.

I always feel that last year's National Day was still yesterday... Maybe for me, because of the epidemic, the past two years seem to have been compressed.

Nothing important happens in life, only writing, writing day after day, immersing myself in this world, breathing and sharing joys and sorrows with the characters in the book. Maybe I will be very sad when I finish this book...

I did the math and found that I wrote 2.6 million words this year, not too much, but not too little.

If there are no accidents, this book should be finished next year. Thank you in advance for your support. Finally, I wish you all a happy holiday, eat, drink, have fun, and have a good rest!
