Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 25: Despised by the Chinese team

Hu Lai scored more than just a penalty kick.

Thirty minutes after the penalty kick, he scored another goal.

At that time, it was 83 minutes into the game, and the Sevilla Navigator pulled a goal back before that, so the score was 2:1, and the Madrid Pirates took the lead.

This one-goal gap gave the Sevilla Navigators hope of an equalizer or even a win.

So in the last ten minutes of the game, a fierce attack was launched against the Madrid Pirates' goal.

By this time, Parrotti had used up all the substitutions.

Because the next day is the national team match day, he has to give his international players more time to rest to prevent them from playing with accumulated fatigue in national team matches and reduce their risk of injury.

However, Hu Lai was still on the court despite the changes.

It's not that Parrotti has to embarrass the Sevilla navigator, it's really... He doesn't need to replace Hulai in advance.

For the next two Chinese team games, Hu Lai never returned to China.

So there is no need to replace it in advance for the national team game.

In the 83rd minute, Hulai, who was still on the court, received a pass from the Croatian left winger Luka Celovic who came off the bench, and scored in front of the goal, scoring his second of the game. ball.

Helped the team to fix the score at 3:1 and sealed the victory.

In the end, the Madrid Pirates defeated the Sevilla Navigators by this score.

After the game, there are pirate fans mocking the navigator on the Internet:

"Last season, I remember that we beat the Navigator 4:0. It seems that the Navigator this season is indeed more difficult than last season, and the improvement is obvious!"

Someone immediately replied to him: "You are wrong, 4:0 is the home game. Last season we won the away game 3:2, this season is also the away game, we also scored three goals, but the Navigator scored one less. the ball, so they're still regressing!"

The two sang together and satirized the Seville navigator again.

There are also people who are yin and yang strange: "I beg everyone to stop talking about 'the famous come home'! Hu scored only six goals in the three games at the home of the Voyagers. But he scored against the Voyagers at the Pirate Park Stadium... ...five goals. Well, more away goals...that's right! It's 'The Homecoming'!"

It's enough to ridicule the fans of the sworn enemy.

After the match against Sevilla Navigator, La Liga was temporarily suspended to make way for the national team game.

World Cup qualifiers in Europe and Asia are in their final stages.

The Asian qualifiers, that is, the last two rounds of the top 12 competition, will be decided on the two national team games in early September. At that time, you will naturally know which teams can go directly to Spain and Portugal. , which teams have to go to the play-offs.

The Chinese team has already qualified for the World Cup in two rounds ahead of schedule. In another group, the South Korean team also advanced to the World Cup finals ahead of schedule under the leadership of Park Chun-tae.

At the same time, this is also the last time the 34-year-old Park Sun-tae will participate in the World Cup finals in his career. Five years later, at the age of 39, there is no way for him to have a chance to play in the World Cup. Park Chuntai, who was known for his speed when he was young, has become older and has more injuries, and his speed has dropped seriously. Without the advantage of speed, he will naturally lose his former glory.

Except for China and South Korea, the other teams have not yet secured the qualification, and they have to give their best in the last two rounds.

Especially the Japanese team, they don't want the record of eight consecutive World Cups not missing since 1998 to the present to be broken here.

In the last round of the top 12, the Japanese team failed to defeat Iran at home, which is a great hidden danger.

So much so that now they are only two points ahead of Iran. If there is a slight mistake in the next two rounds, the Japanese team will have to play the play-offs...

And in the penultimate round, their opponent is the Chinese team.

For the Japanese team, there is a major positive.

That is the number one star of the Chinese team and the leading scorer Hu Lai, who was not recalled by Jorge Dillon this time.

In fact, in addition to Hu Lai, there is another Chinese national team player who has not been recalled, that is, Ou Yangjin, who just went to Claude Ranger. Dillon adheres to the principle of not recruiting players who have just gone abroad to play in the national team. Let Ou Yangjin stay in the team with peace of mind and adapt to everything in Scotland.

However, Ou Yangjin is only a substitute player in the Chinese team. His presence has little effect on the strength of the team.

Therefore, the focus of the Japanese team is only on Hu Lai.

As long as Hu Lai does not come, for them, the biggest threat to the Japanese team does not exist.

As for the others?

They don't really care.

Although he is very strong, there is still a huge gap between him and Hu Lai.

In the eyes of the Japanese media, aside from Hu Lai, the foreign players of the Chinese team are about the same level as their Japanese foreign players.

But there are a lot of foreign players in the Japanese team...

So as long as there is no Hu Lai, the Japanese team will not be afraid of the Chinese team at all.

At first, after the Chinese team won the World Cup qualification two rounds ahead of schedule, some Japanese media optimistically estimated that in the next top 12 match between the Chinese team and the Japanese team, the Chinese team might not recruit a foreign player. That the main force of the Japanese team to win the Chinese team away, wouldn't it be a piece of cake?

In the end, only Hu Lai and Ou Yangjin did not return to China, and all the other overseas players returned.

However, for the Japanese media, this is also a completely acceptable situation.

As long as Hu Lai doesn't come back, nothing can be said.

In the roadmap for the Japanese team to enter the World Cup planned by the Japanese media, the Chinese team is the biggest stumbling block.

As long as the Japanese team can beat the Chinese team on the road and take all three points, it almost means promotion.

Because in the last round of the top 12 match, the Japanese team played against Thailand at home. The latter was the last and weakest team in the group.

There is no suspense in defeating Thailand.

As long as China wins first, the Japanese team will get six points.

Even with Iran winning the remaining two rounds, Japan still maintains a two-point lead over Iran.

In fact, Jorge Dillon really planned not to recruit a foreign player.

But was persuaded by the translator Yu Jintao.

"I understand what you think, Jorge. But Japan is a special opponent. If it's another team, even Iran, you can use all domestic players... Only Japan can't."

Dillon's idea is to use the opportunity of the last two top 12 games to train domestic players and narrow the gap between domestic players in the national team and foreign players.

But after listening to Yu Jintao's grievances between China and Japan, he immediately understood how unreliable his plan was.

However, he still insisted not to let Hu Lai return to China.

It's not to let Hu Lai rest, but to test it with the Japanese team. If the current Chinese team doesn't have Hu Lai, it will still be a little bit better.

In this way, even if the Chinese team loses to the Japanese team in the end, at least the scene will be much better than the lineup composed of players from all over the country.

The most important thing is that if Hu Lai was not recruited alone, the domestic media and fans might not be able to criticize Dillon as "surrenderism" and "cowardice before a fight".

It's not that Chinese fans can't accept losing to Japan - when Chinese football was weak in the past, they also lost to Japan - what they can't accept is losing to the Japanese team without resistance.

So if Dillon really dared to let a domestic player play against the Japanese team without recruiting a foreign player, he would definitely be scolded to death.

And... this approach is actually very detrimental to domestic players. Because the Japanese team will do their best to qualify for the World Cup. It is a huge psychological torture for every Chinese player to let domestic players whose strength is not as good as theirs face a powerful enemy like a wolf like a tiger in their own home, coupled with the grudge between China and Japan.

So doing this will not only fail to train them, it may even destroy them - this should not be the consequence they should bear, but it is imposed on them, which is also very unfair to them.

But in fact, Dillon did not recruit Hu Lai to come back, which still caused a lot of controversy. The media and fans did not accept this arrangement because he recalled all the overseas players except Hu Lai.

Mainly because everyone wanted to see Hu Lai so much - this was supposed to be the first time Hu Lai appeared in front of Chinese fans after winning the Golden Globe.

Everyone has been looking forward to that scene, and they will give all the cheers to Hu Lai.

In the end, Dillon did something wrong.

Of course, some people will be unhappy, and some even secretly hope that the Chinese team will lose to the Japanese team, so as to give them a reason to attack Dillon:

Let you not recruit Hu Lai!

Did you lose?

Deserved!

I can't scold you to death!

Let's see if you dare not hire Hu Lai in the future!

It is also a loss that Hu Lai was not recalled~www.readwn.com~ If according to Dillon's original plan, a foreign player is not recruited, then although he will not be fired by the Chinese Football Association for losing to the Japanese team, he will definitely It will offend all Chinese fans and media reporters.

In that way, his life in the Chinese public opinion will be difficult. If the slightest problem is not good, it will be magnified into some "indescribable" crime with the conscious help of the media.

"I really didn't expect that one day, we will be looked down upon by the Chinese team..."

In the hotel room where he was staying, Tatsuya Sugiyama said with emotion.

"Although it's really unpleasant, but in this way, our hopes of qualifying for the World Cup have greatly increased."

His teammate Takeken Kuroiwa said.

The others in the room also agreed.

Then Morikawa Junpei suddenly said: "I advise you not to be so optimistic. The Chinese team without Hu Lai is definitely not a tiger without teeth."

Everyone looked at each other, Tatsuya Sugiyama stood up, and he said seriously:

"Indeed, although Hu Lai is missing, they still have a lot of players who play in Europe like us, and they are no worse than us. In the game the day after tomorrow, everyone still has to go all out. We will definitely go to Spain! The glorious tradition cannot be broken in our hands! Otherwise, at that time, we will really be looked down upon!"
