Fox in the Penalty Area

On the plane flying back to Anton Jincheng from Hongchang City, Youjiang Province, Qin Lin found the head coach Zhao Kangming sitting in front, and wanted to talk to him.

Upon seeing this, Chen Mo took the initiative to get up and leave, giving up his position to Qin Lin.

"I'm looking for you, what is the penalty?" Zhao Kangming asked Qin Lin first when he sat down.

"Lao Zhao, I came to you to talk about this. I have already told Hu Lai on the court, not only the penalty for this game, but I will let him take the penalty kick in the future. Up."

Zhao Kangming opened his mouth in a little surprise: "Why? I remember you said that kicking a penalty kick is your responsibility..."

Zhao Kangming was talking about the 2010 World Cup Asian qualifiers. At that time, it was a key match between the top 40 and the top 12. The Chinese team must win the opponent to ensure that they can get the first place in the group. One, thus qualifying for the top twelve.

And Qatar, the opponent of that game, was also eligible to enter the top twelve. The two sides played very stalemate, and the score of 0:0 remained until the 85th minute.

At this moment, the Chinese team won a penalty!

At that time, the stadium in Jiuan City was boiling.

As long as the Chinese team can score this penalty kick, it is possible to beat Qatar, and thus get first in the group and advance to the top 12.

As a result, the forward Liu Yunfeng, who was responsible for the penalty kick, kicked the penalty kick under tremendous pressure, which caused the Chinese team to miss the top twelve match.

After the game, Liu Yunfeng was scolded with blood, and some people even ran to the door of his club training base to splash him with paint and throw him eggs...

After that game, as long as the Chinese team took a point, Qin Lin would take the penalty. Later in the club, Qin Lin also took the penalty kick.

Although he had never played a penalty kick before.

For this he has two years, every time after the end of training, he will practice penalty kicks.

Later, a reporter interviewed him why he suddenly took all penalty kicks. He said the sentence Zhao Kangming mentioned: "The penalty kick is my responsibility as the captain."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone guessed that he said it because of the 2010 World Cup qualifiers.

Of course, he is not complaining that Liu Yunfeng had put the Chinese team in the top twelve. He just hoped that one day if a similar situation occurs, then the person being scolded can be him instead of anyone else.

That's why he said that this is the responsibility of the captain. It is the responsibility of the captain to take a penalty kick under pressure. If a penalty is missed, it is also the responsibility of the captain to be cast aside by thousands of people.

The captain's armband is definitely not just a symbol of glory, it also means more infamy, especially in the Chinese national team.

"I want to give this responsibility to Hu Lai now." Qin Lin said.

"Do you think he can bear it?" After asking, Zhao Kangming laughed by himself. "That's right and right. Shi Wuyin always told me that the kid is a faceless face, if he is really spurned by thousands of people. He should be able to withstand the same treatment."

"Yes, whether it is in front of the media that he wants to win the World Cup, or the cyber violence he encountered before the game against the South Korean team... It fully shows that Hu Lai has a very big heart and his shooting skills are also very good. With excellent shooting skills and strong psychological qualities, I think no one is more suitable to be a responsible person than him. One more thing, I want to sign up for a coaching course..."

Zhao Kangming's eyes widened: "Are you planning to retire?"

Seeing the nervous old Zhao, Qin Lin smiled: "Don't worry, I will still fulfill the contract with Flash Star. I have not made a final decision. I will look at my situation again... A period of life should be planned early."

Zhao Kangming looked at this former teammate who had fought side by side with him in the national team. At the time of the Asian Cup in 2004, he was just a young player under the age of 21. Although he had already played a major role in the Chinese national team, he still couldn't hide his immature face.

Today, every wrinkle on his face seems to record the history of Chinese football.

He is the witness and recorder of Chinese football for nearly two decades... and even from some perspectives, he is the history of Chinese football itself.

"You can play for a few more years, Da Qin. You are so self-disciplined, professional, and clear-headed."

"If I am not injured, maybe it can." Qin Lin smiled.

"Then you can stay for another two years to help these young people on their horses and send them off..."

"They don't need me, Lao Zhao, they are already on the horse and running, I can't catch up."

Seeing that Qin Lin had decided to leave, Zhao Kangming had to sigh: "Well, I respect your personal choice. I will ask the club to apply for the coaching training class for you."

"Thanks." Qin Lin got up and left.

When he left, Chen Mo sat back again: "What did you talk about?"

"He told me that in the future the team's penalty kicks can be handed over to Hu Lai, and he also wants to apply for coaching training."

Chen Mo froze for a moment, and then said in surprise: "He wants to retire? That's why he handed over the penalty kick..."

"Not so fast, he said he will fulfill his contract with the club."

"That's not two years, next year, the contract expires after the next season... You didn't persuade him?"

"Persuaded, it's useless, he is very determined. That injury had a greater impact on him than all of us thought." At this point, Zhao Kangming sighed.

"If Qin Lin really retires... An era of Chinese football may be over." Chen Mo was a little sorry.

"No matter it's over, there are no good memories." Zhao Kangming shook his head. "How did the media comment on Qin Lin? The last big man in Chinese football, the only face in Chinese football. Listen, Chinese football needs a 33-year-old future to support the face... Sad."

At the age of 33, Qin Lin helped the South China Tigers win the AFC Champions League. He also won the Asian Footballer of that year.

Therefore, it is hailed by the media as "the only face of Chinese football."

This sounds like a compliment to Qin Lin, but more people may feel that they are mocking Chinese football.

Because, as Zhao Kangming said, dignified Chinese football has to rely on a 30-something veteran to defend his face.

This is ironic!

"Even, I hope that is the end of an era. In this case, Hu Lai and the others may be in a new era, an era created by them... Isn't that good?" Zhao Kangming turned to Chen Mo Smiled.

The head coach Zhao Kangming told the team about the adjustment of the penalty shoot-out candidates when the Zishanxing team resumed training.

When everyone heard that Qin Lin did not only give Hu Lai the penalty kicks in the last game, but all the penalties in the future were given to Hu Lai, they all seemed surprised.

Many people simply cast their sights on Qin Lin and Hu Lai in front of the coach.

Many people have heard about the reason why Qin Lin took the penalty kick.

Because of this, I was so surprised after knowing that he suddenly gave up the penalty kick.

This is not simply a means of scoring Huledo, just a few more goals in a season.

This means a transfer of responsibilities.

At the same time, some people have guessed that the career of Qin Lin might not be too long...

Under everyone's gaze, Qin Lin did not stand up and explain why he did this.

In other words, even if it is necessary to explain, it is not to explain to the whole team, but to explain to Hu Lai alone, then there are too many opportunities.

When two people live in the same room before the game ~www.ltnovel.com~ can explain.

Then Zhao Kangming faced Hu Lai in front of the players of the team and said: "From now on, after the end of the training every day, you have to do another set of penalty kicks, Hu Lai."

Hu Lai nodded: "No problem, Director Zhao."

When he was still in the Dongchuan Middle School team, he briefly received special penalty kick training, which was to deal with the penalty kick in the national competition.

So before the national competition and during the national competition assault practice.

As a result, there was no penalty kick at all in the national competition, and Hu Lai's penalty kick was completely useless.

When the national competition is over, he naturally does not need to practice penalty kicks.

After all, whether in the Poseidon Youth Team or Flash Star, there is no need to use his penalty.

Now since he needs to cover all the future penalties of Flash Star, then he really should accept penalty kick training again.

Seeing Hu Lai's promise very simply, Zhao Kangming nodded: "Work hard, don't let down this responsibility..."

Penalties are not the easiest way to score, but a duel with oneself under the greatest pressure. Some people can defeat themselves in such an environment and achieve legendary achievements. And some people... are defeated under heavy pressure and cast aside by thousands of people.

Sometimes the penalty kick is still the hope of the team's victory, it is the knock of Chinese football outside the World Cup.

As Qin Lin said, kicking a penalty is a responsibility.

This responsibility is now passed on to a young player.

This is a high hope for him.

But no one in the Flash Star team was thinking at this time: can he bear it?

On the contrary, their thinking is: If someone must be found to take on this responsibility, then he is indeed the most suitable person!
