Fox in the Penalty Area

The Forbidden Zone Fox Text Volume Chapter 79: A new version that has not been played. Not long after Hu Lai returned to Jincheng to start strength training, Wang Guangwei heard that Hu Lai was back and moved with him. It was just convenient for him to learn to drive. , Because his driving school base is in Liucheng District.

　　 A few days after Wang Guangwei came to live, the 2022 World Cup in Qatar in this time and space officially started.

　　 In fact, the atmosphere of the previous World Cup was very strong in China. Traditional media such as television and newspapers, and emerging media such as the Internet and mobile Internet began to warm up the World Cup a month earlier.

　　As the opening of the World Cup approaches, the publicity offensive has become more intense.

　　 Fierce enough to make a ball-blind think that the Chinese team has entered the World Cup-of course, if the Chinese team does make it to the World Cup, then the ball-blind will find that the battle is a hundred times more enthusiastic than what he sees now.

　　 Hu Lai discovered that although time and space have been changed, some things are really deep-rooted. I don't know if it is one of the basic rules of the multiverse.

　　 That is, although China did not participate in the World Cup, China's enthusiasm for the World Cup may be higher than those of the countries that participated in the World Cup...

　　 This is true in the time and space he traveled through, and it is still the same in the time and space he is in now.

　　 is even crazier in this time and space.

　　 After all, in this time and space, the Chinese team has not even participated in a World Cup. And that time and space, anyway, there was a competition experience.

　　 When he entered the World Cup, he was talking about "forty-four years of waiting." Putting this time and space away, what the media promoted in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers is "a wait for a man", which is a full 60 years...

　　 Hu Lai sometimes feels terrible thinking about it.

　　 Sixty years, China has developed from the beginning of reform and opening up to what it is now, and it hasn’t been used for sixty years.

　　 Chinese football has never been able to break out of Asia.

　　 It’s no wonder that before the reform of the Football Association, the image of Chinese football was so stinking that it really had to be reformed.

Of course, as soon as the World Cup came to the domestic media, Hu Lai’s teacher, Zhao Kangming, had to be turned up again and again to "whip the corpse"-the media talked a lot about how the Chinese team was in the 2005 World Cup qualifiers. Not even playing in the top ten matches is related to Zhao Kangming's red card.

So poor director Zhao, he was clearly the famous coach of Dongchuan Shining Star a month ago. Everyone hopes that he can lead Shining Star to achieve good results in the new season of the Chinese League, and succeed in surpassing... Now it has changed in the media. Became "the sinner of Chinese football."

　　 In this World Cup qualifier, the Chinese team performed better than the previous ones, reaching the final twelve rounds. But it still failed to enter the World Cup, and finally ended the top twelve with a fifth in the group.

　　 At the Asian Cup in early 2019, the Chinese team also reached the semi-finals, which gave many Chinese fans hope.

　　 As a result, many people know that the highest level of Asian football is not the Asian Cup at all, but the top 12 of the Asian World Cup qualifiers.

　　 Those opponents that the Chinese team can beat in the Asian Cup, in the top twelve, played extremely difficult. Even the Asian Cup champions may capsize and lose to the "underdogs" in the top 12 matches.

　　 After the top 12 matches, the Chinese national team has veterans on three lines to withdraw. Which of them is not a famous figure in Chinese football? In their respective clubs, they are also top-notch bigwigs, star players like Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei who need to look up.

　　 But they tried their best to get the Chinese team to participate in the top 12 tournament again after 20 years.

　　 As for a big man like Qin Lin, he did not participate in the World Cup qualifiers at all.

　　 Generations of Chinese players have dedicated all their youth, but still can't touch the threshold of the World Cup.

　　 Wang Xiaojun, Zhao Kangming, Qin Lin...

　　 There are so many famous players and legends in the history of Chinese football. Because they failed to lead the national team to the World Cup, they have only regrets and tears when talking about their careers.

　　 Qin Lin even choked up and apologized to the fans when he quit the national team, because he failed to fulfill everyone's wish and failed to realize the ideal that made him chase for half his life.

　　 But in fact, it is not him who should apologize.

　　※※※

　　The World Cup without the Chinese team is still very lively. For Hu Lai, this is an excellent opportunity to learn more about this new football world.

　　 Although it is a brand-new version compared with the football world he is familiar with, in fact, some general directions are almost the same.

　　 For example, Chinese football is still weak.

　　 After all, the changes between clubs may be great, but the level of the national team is always traceable. A country’s level of football is directly related to its own level of economic development and the level of football development.

　　 And these are fixed, it is difficult to change drastically.

　　 The history of the world has not changed. The world pattern is exactly the same as that of time and space. The level of football development in each country is naturally well-founded.

　　 Otherwise, as soon as Hu Lai crossed over, he discovered that the world’s top football power turned out to be India. It is estimated that he would completely lose his sense of substitution...

　　 The birthplace of modern football is still the United Kingdom, and then with the colonization of Britain and other European countries, football was taken to the world and became the world's number one sport.

　　 If the British invented basketball in this time and space, then maybe the world's number one sport is basketball now.

　　 Because colonial expansion has a profound impact on the promotion of football.

　　, therefore, the world football map is not much different.

　　 Brazil, Argentina, England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain are the traditional powers in the football world, with a glorious tradition that has lasted for many years. These countries also happen to be the countries that have won the World Cup so far.

Countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Uruguay, Paraguay, Mexico, Croatia, the Czech Republic, and Poland rely entirely on the blowout of talents. If a group of "golden generations" are born, they will be able to stay in the history of world football once. For mediocrity.

　　Teams like Japan, South Korea, and Iran play a decisive role in Asian football. Australia and New Zealand have also joined the Asian Football Confederation. Oceania Football Confederation has only a few Pacific island countries left, which can be ignored.

　　After years of development, American football has made great progress. It has long been no longer the so-called "football desert".

　　 African countries have a place in world football because of their abundance of football talents.

　　 Countries such as Qatar and the United Arab Emirates took advantage of the loopholes to engage a group of naturalized players, and their level has improved accordingly.

　　 Even countries like Vietnam and Thailand have also vigorously developed youth training and made great progress.

Chinese fans always refer to the previous comparison of Asian football's strength. They feel that the Chinese team can't even win Vietnam and Thailand. It is simply embarrassing. But in fact, based on the current football strength comparison, the Chinese team can beat Vietnam. Thailand is already a very difficult thing...

　　 Fortunately, Chinese football has undergone drastic reforms in recent years, especially the emphasis on campus football and the cultivation of talents for youth training, so that Chinese football has gradually found its feel.

　　 Hu Lai himself is one of the beneficiaries of this policy. He and Chen Xingyi, Luo Kai, and Wang Guangwei have also become the first representatives after the reform of Chinese football.

　　 It's just that whether this reform is really effective, and whether Chinese football is really on the right track because of this, no one knows at present.

　　 Just like neighboring Japan, until their national team can steadily participate in every World Cup, everyone can say that their football reform plan has been successful.

　　 Whether the reform of Chinese football is successful, at least we have to wait until the Chinese team can reach the World Cup finals.

　　※※※

　　 The layout of world football is similar to the world that Hu Lai is familiar with, but when it comes to individual players, it's a far cry...

Before he had just crossed over, he had heard of the first native star center Celius Caesar in this world. In this year’s World Cup, he was at the age of thirty, the most golden age of a professional player, his body The quality has not yet begun to decline, but the experience and skills are at the peak. He is naturally ambitious and wants to lead the Italian national team to win the World Cup.

　　 Zhang Qinghuan’s template Louis Francis, the French international, is thirty-four this year and his career has inevitably entered the late stage. But because of the characteristics of the style of the game and other reasons, the state is still very good, as the "big commander" of the French national team. He also shoulders the ardent hopes of the French fans, hoping that he can lead the French team in this World Cup to regain the glory of the Gaul Roosters lost twelve years of championship.

　　 When the French team won the World Cup twelve years ago, Francis was 22 years old and was not the main player of the French team. As the first organizational midfielder in today's football, failing to win the World Cup with his own ability has always been something Francis has been worried about.

　　 Grimand Elmer, German football superstar, thirty-two years old this year, plays a role as a midfielder, offensive and defensive. Nicknamed "The Sun" because Aylmer is a "B2B" midfielder, from his own penalty area to the opponent's penalty area, all within his coverage, just like the sun in the sky, shining the sun on the earth. However, when Hulay saw Aylmer’s photos, he had a deeper understanding of his nickname-the nickname "Sun" should be a metaphor for his bald head reflecting the sunlight on the court, just like a small man on the court. The sun always blinds the opponent's dog eyes...

　　 But it is said that Aylmer had flowing blond hair when he first debuted. He was handsome and blonde, just like the sun **** Apollo. Perhaps the nickname "Sun" originated from this in the first place.

　　 The German team is the defending champion of this World Cup, and Aylmer is the core of this team. In the last World Cup, he led the German chariot to sweep the opponents, and finally won the World Cup with seven victories. He himself won the Golden Globe Award at that World Cup.

　　 This time he and the German team's goal is naturally to successfully defend the title, breaking the curse that no team can successfully defend the World Cup in the 40 years since the 1982 World Cup Brazil successfully defended. As a player, he is still in his prime at the age of thirty-two. But his opponents are not general.

　　 Caesar from Italy or Francis from France, which one is not here for the championship?

　　 There is also Alexandra Cerrados from Spain, the Spanish striker who perfectly combines speed and skill. At 28 years old this year, he is the youngest of the four, nicknamed "Prince". He led Spain's "golden generation", and the only goal of this World Cup is naturally to win the championship.

　　 The above four people have a unified title in world football: "Four Kings".

　　 They are recognized as the four top players in today's football. In terms of club honors, all of them are Grand Slam players. Only in the honor of the national team, there are some differences, and they are the only areas where they can distinguish themselves.

　　 Aylmer and Francis both won the World Cup, but Aylmer won the championship as the core of the team, and Francis won, so Aylmer should be even better in this regard.

　　 In the European Cup honors, Aylmer is a little heroic. He didn't have a European Cup once, and Francis and Caesar both have a European Cup.

"Prince" Cerrados is the youngest of the four and the latest to debut, but his rise is very fast. The club has already won a Grand Slam, and the domestic league and cup championships have been won. The Champions League has also won. Personal honor. They also won the World Footballer and the European Golden Globe Awards. Only the national team honor, because the youngest, so it is still blank.

　　 For him, this World Cup is his best chance to achieve a zero breakthrough. Because he is twenty-eight years old in his prime. In the World Cup four years later, he is already thirty-two years old. He may not be as good as he is now if he relies on speed to eat.

　　 In addition, the Spanish national team also has a group of players who have reached a mature stage like him. This group of tacitly coordinated "golden generation" has emerged from the World Youth Championship, and has been fighting for many years now, and it is time to achieve results.

　　 This year's World Cup favorites are also the teams of these four people.

　　 In addition to these "four kings", there are many superstars in world football. Some of them are just in their prime, some are beginning to fade away, and there are talents that have just emerged, and the future is unlimited.

　　 For example, the two young men who emerged from the South American duo after years of silence have been gaining momentum in the past two years.

One is a young Argentine player nicknamed "The Young Eagle". He is only 19 years old. He is generally favored by the Argentine media and fans. He is considered to be the legendary "Pampas Eagle King" in Argentine football. The best successor to Orijo Iguovara.

After the "Eagle King" retired, a so-called successor appeared in Argentine football every few years, but I don’t know whether it’s everyone’s ignorance, or the successor to Igovara to bring those young people. Too much pressure, in short, none of them met people's expectations.

　　 At present, only this young man named Meli Banega has the most hope to become Iguwala's successor.

　　 When Hu Lai first knew this person, the first thought that popped up in his mind was Messi. After all, he had a similar background, and it was hard not to let him think about that person.

　　 But take a closer look, this Argentine super genius plays for the Spanish giants Madrid Kings...

　　 Suddenly, Hu Lai felt an indescribable sense of violation-Messi went to Real Madrid?

　　He can't use Banega as Messi anymore.

　　 In terms of personal abilities, Banega and Messi are indeed similar, fast, good at dribbling, breakthrough sharp, and all-around frontcourt. But it is just similar. Hulai is very clear that Banega is not Messi’s projection in this world. Messi is Messi and Banega is Banega.

　　 In addition to this Argentine genius, Brazil also has a young genius named Kendor Kabangca.

　　 Don't look at the two cards in the name, but they have no similarities with the "Kaka" in that world. Kaka is "unparalleled in the world, and people on the street are like jade". The best feature is handsome, but this Kabangka is indistinguishable from handsome. He is a mixed black and Indian. His appearance is not ugly, but he is definitely not. Handsome, a dirty braid hairstyle is more wild.

　　The style of the ball is completely different from the European style of Kaka's big stride and straight line assault. He is more like a samba football dancer, but he is different from Neymar who Hulay knows. Neymar is a striker and Kabangka is a midfielder. His body is also much stronger than Neymar, with the same flowers under his feet. Ronaldinho is better than Neymar, and his nicknames are similar. He is called "elf".

　　 "Elf" Kabangka is only twenty years old and one year old than Banega. Both of them are the best in the younger generation of South American football. They are considered to be leaders who can lead their respective national teams to rise again in the future.

In addition to these two young talents, there are also many famous players, such as Russia’s Ivan Romanov, a high center forward who is close to two meters in height. He is strong and has an impact on the court. It's like a nuclear bomb, so it got the nickname "Terror Ivan".

　　 Another representative of Spain's "golden generation", goalkeeper Rodríguez Barker.

　　The England national team's central defender combination George Bilques and Tim Martin, the two of them play in the same club, have worked together for more than ten years, and they are very close. Some media once thought it was a pity that the two guards did not transfer, otherwise it would definitely create a world football guard player transfer fee record. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

As well as their two teammates in the England national team, the all-around midfielder "tough guy" Harry Burgard, whose skills are not good enough at his feet, he made up for this shortcoming with his ever-strong fighting spirit and tenacious style, and he did not hesitate to run and kick The long shot from the sky gun made him the core of the England national team's midfield.

　　 Dutch striker Maxi Carey, fake number nine, comprehensive skills, world-recognized free kick master, chic style.

　　……

　　 There are many world-class stars with names and surnames, so I can’t list them all here.

In short, it is a bit different from the time and space that Hu Lai traveled through. There are no peerless arrogances here, but there are "four great kings", and even the "four great kings" can't completely suppress the other superstars, no There will be a single person winning the Golden Globes for several years.

　　 Football in this world has not become the version of "Messi, Ronaldo and others".

　　 Today's World Cup is the stage where these heroes and stars show their hearts. They are not the foil of a certain person, nor are they teammates of anyone, they are them.

　　 They have their own dreams and perseverance, as well as their own dignity. They will not hug their thighs in order to win the championship, nor will they compete to be "such and such blowing" or "group leader".

　　 They will also praise the "Four Heavenly Kings", but they will not kneel on the ground and praise the "Four Heavenly Kings."

　　 Even fans of the "Four Heavenly Kings" will not say anything stupid about "forced the Four Heavenly Kings".

　　 For such a brand new version that has not been played, Hu Lai is yearning for it.
