Fox in the Penalty Area

"Hu Lai, there is such a thing, let me tell you..."

After the last training before the match, the national team leader Hong Renjie found Hu Lai with a tone of discussion.

"Just talk about it, Team Leader Hong." Hu Lai looked very generous.

"Well... would you like to attend the pre-match press conference?"

"Okay."

Seeing Hu Lai’s answer so simply, Hong Renjie thought Hu Lai didn’t know the subtleties of this matter, so he explained to him, “You really want to participate? Because of the recent Pu Chuntai incident, public opinion is somewhat sensitive to you... "

Of course Hu Lai knew what the leader Hong was talking about, and he waved his hand nonchalantly: "That's okay, leader Hong. I can handle it."

"No... I mean you shouldn't talk nonsense then, come up with some moths..." Hong Renjie explained quickly.

"Ah? Ha!" Seeing that he had misunderstood, Hu Lai hurriedly laughed as a concealment, "Don't worry, Team Leader Hong, my biggest advantage is that I am calm and experienced, and the city is quite deep. Wang Guangwei, Wang Guangwei, can testify for me on this point!"

When Hong Renjie thought about it, he just opened his mouth at your boy's nonsense, and I didn't believe what you said.

Had it not been for the press officer that it would be better to let Hu Lai clarify the recent rumors, he would not want to ask Hu Lai to attend the press conference.

In just two days, the rumors have intensified, especially from the Internet and foreign media. There are all kinds of voices. If the above is worried that if there is no clarification, the three will become tigers and the fake will become real. When it is spread out to affect the image of Chinese football, or even more serious, to directly smear the image of the country, the problem will be serious.

In fact, why didn't the rumors be dispelled before things spread in the first place? It's because Hong Renjie thinks this matter is too absurd. What can be clarified?

People with discerning eyes and normal brains know that this is a fake—how could Hu Lai cause Park Chuntae to have a seizure, and he has no special abilities.

As a result, things became like this. The South Korean media verbally criticized Hu Lai, seeming to concentrate all the negative images of China on Hu Lai, as if Hu Lai is the root of all evil in China's low level of football.

Later, the leaders told him that he should never underestimate the low level of foreigners' IQ. In recent years, anti-intellectualism has become more and more prevalent abroad, and people believe in nonsense.

Never overestimate the professional ethics of the media, especially foreign media. They can turn black into white, and they can double-label very calmly. You feel shameless, and they think you are arrogant.

So Hong Renjie had to come to Hu Lai, hoping that he could clarify the matter between him and Pu Chuntai at the pre-match press conference. Regardless of whether the other party believes it or not, at least it shows our attitude. This is very important. .

Shi Wuyin was a little disgusted with this decision: "I'll be playing the game right away, but I still have to call Hu Lai to be "trial" for this matter. I think this is the right way to get the opponent's arms!"

However, he just complained, and he could not decide anything if he said it.

Still Hu Lai comforted him: "Don't worry, give guidance, they can't affect me."

Then he wore the sports uniform of the Chinese national team and went to the pre-match press conference with Shi Wuyin.

In addition to Chinese reporters, many Korean reporters came to the press conference.

And one by one, watching Hu Lai's expressions look bad, he had a posture of inquiring about crimes.

This made the Chinese reporters present very uncomfortable-your own players’ problems are blamed on our players, sorry? !

Don't think you can do whatever you want with shame!

Many Chinese reporters have decided that they must confront South Korean reporters at this press conference, and absolutely must not let the rhythm of the press conference fall into the hands of South Korean reporters.

The Chinese reporters and South Korean reporters sat at the press conference site very clearly, as if everyone could see the "Chu River and Han Boundaries" between the two.

Hong Renjie gave Hu Lai a worried look from below.

Obviously, the atmosphere is not very friendly...

He wasn't worried that Hu Lai would suffer, he felt that this kid might not be able to make him suffer.

What he worried is that Hu Lai said something that shouldn't be said, but was used by the other party...

Head coach Shi Wuyin introduced the team's preparations for the regular press conference.

Today, Shi Wuyin's anomalous introduction is very detailed, and the speed of speaking has also slowed down.

Everyone could see that he deliberately wanted to reduce the time for reporters to ask questions later.

But the one who should come will still come.

When it was the reporters' turn to ask questions, the Chinese and South Korean reporters raised their hands at the same time.

The national football press officer ordered two Chinese reporters to ask questions. This caused dissatisfaction among the South Korean reporters. After Shi Wuyin answered the question of the second Chinese reporter, the South Korean shouted directly from his seat: "This is not fair! Are you guys?" There is a ghost in my heart, so I deliberately didn't give us the opportunity to ask questions?!"

Obviously the South Korean reporters have also come, but it is indeed impossible to not let people ask questions, and the press officer hesitated for a moment.

At this moment, Hu Lai leaned in front of the microphone and proactively said: "You don't need to ask them to ask questions. I know what they want to ask. I was here to explain the situation."

Then he switched to Korean and looked at the Korean reporters: "Yes, Park Chun-tae and I were the leaders on the plane. But after getting on the plane, he pulled the baffle up, so I couldn’t see what happened to him. . Except for a brief chat after getting on the plane, we didn’t have much communication. So I don’t know what happened to him. When I got off the plane, I found that his face was really ugly, but I thought he was airsick. I also invited him to go with me. He didn't agree, so I got off the plane by myself. It's just such a situation.

"I also regret what happened to Park Chuntae, because I also hope to meet him in the best form in the game...As the only two Asian players playing in the Premier League, I and him This time is not your life-and-death enemies, but comrades-in-arms. We all shoulder the responsibility of winning glory for Asian football. So what reason do I have to "cast spells" on Park Chun-tae? Besides, if I really have that ability, the Chinese team still uses it here and You smashed? We went to the World Cup early, okay? Because every enemy who fights against the Chinese team will be dropped by me, foaming at the mouth and convulsing all over the field, and then we won without the fight! Ha!"

Having said that, Hu Lai laughed, as if telling a very funny joke.

However, none of the Korean reporters in the audience showed a smile. They all looked at Hu Lai with a serious face.

In the face of these people, Hu Lai spread both hands: "I have finished speaking. Tomorrow's game, I hope that football will return to football. At that time, we have won you, but don't say I have any special abilities."

As soon as he finished speaking, some Korean reporters raised their hands, and others stood up and tried to ask him questions. There was a commotion at the scene.

Hu Lai raised both hands and pressed down: "I have said everything that should be said, so I will not answer any more questions. I announce that the press conference...This is the end!"

He got up and left after speaking.

The South Korean reporters were anxious, and they yelled: "You can't go, we haven't asked any questions yet!"

Hu Lai turned a deaf ear to this, but just raised his hand and waved, before taking a step forward.

Seeing this, Shi Wuyin got up and left with Hu Lai altogether.

The press officer announced loudly behind him: "I announce that the press conference is over!"

Some Chinese reporters yelled at those South Korean reporters in English: "Our players are not criminals and are not obligated to accept your'interrogation' here. He has already given you a lot of face by telling the situation! Don't be shameless!"

The South Korean reporter defended: "We just want to know the truth..."

"This is the truth!"

"Look for British Airways for the truth. What kind of wildness will we run on our Chinese site?!"

The scene was noisy... I could still hear some "sticks" and "pirates of the country" vaguely.

The instigator has completely left here.

※※※

Shi Wuyin caught up with Hu Lai and sighed: "I know you have restrained enough, but things have turned out to be like this. I tell you that as long as you appear at the press conference, this is doomed."

Hu Lai laughed nonchalantly: "So what, are we still afraid of them? Give guidance. If I just said that I won them, it won't give you any pressure, right?"

Shi Wuyin glared at him: "What's the pressure? If you don't say this, we won't all win in the end? If we can't win, we'll be over."

Judging from the current team situation, the South Korean team ranked first with 18 points and qualified early. The Chinese team ranked fourth with nine points, one point ahead of fifth place Qatar and two points behind third place Saudi Arabia.

If the Chinese team loses to the South Korean team or ties the South Korean team, it means that they are only theoretically possible to win third in the league.

Because if the points and rankings are calculated on the premise that the Chinese team loses to the South Korean team, if Saudi Arabia loses to Qatar, then Qatar will surpass China by 11 points. No matter how Qatar and Saudi Arabia are ranked, the Chinese team will Will fall to fifth place. With the last round remaining in the group stage, the Chinese team not only has to beat Qatar away, but also count on Saudi Arabia to lose to the UAE away... How is this possible?

But if Qatar and Saudi Arabia ties, the situation is the same as the above situation. The Chinese team wants to beat Qatar away while expecting Saudi Arabia to lose to the UAE.

And if Saudi Arabia wins Qatar, that is the worst result. The Chinese team and Qatar directly lose the qualification for third place, GAMEOVER.

Under the premise of a tie between the Chinese team and the South Korean team, the Chinese team has accumulated 10 points. Saudi Arabia won Qatar with 14 points. The Chinese team and Qatar were out at the same time. Saudi Arabia lost to Qatar with 11 points, and Qatar also accumulated 11 points, surpassing the Chinese team, and the Chinese team fell to fifth. Saudi Arabia and Qatar drew, Saudi Arabia accumulated 12 points and Qatar scored. In both cases, the Chinese team had to defeat Qatar in the final round, and then count on the UAE to give some strength to draw or beat Saudi Arabia at home. The conditions are very good. harsh.

So looking at it this way, in tomorrow's game, the Chinese team has no choice but to win South Korea.

Shi Wuyin was ready to beat South Korea at home from the very beginning, and never thought about tying his opponents.

"So, anyway, we have to win. If we win, they will still be unhappy. It is also unhappy now. In short, it is better to be unhappy now, so you can buy it early and enjoy it. Maybe it is now in advance. Do a good job of mental construction so that when you really lose the game, it will not be so uncomfortable?"

Hu Lai made Shi Wuyin amused with the tone of thinking about the Koreans: "So you guys still think about them?"

"I always help others." Hu Lai smiled honestly and kindly. "Where can I be as careful as Koreans, don't you say, give guidance?"

Shi Wuyin smiled helplessly and shook his head: "Your mouth..."

Later, at the pre-match press conference of the Korean team, Park Chun-tae also attended as a player representative.

He clarified the rumors on the Internet, saying that his physical condition had nothing to do with Hu Lai, it was simply because he didn't rest well on the road and was too sleepy.

All online claims about his epileptic seizures are all rumors.

Finally, he hopes that everyone will focus on the football game itself, and he himself will focus on the next game.

Both parties have said this. Although it is impossible to stop online conspiracy theories, at the media level, at least there will not be so much nonsense.

He was taken to the hospital by ambulance even if it was over.

However, the South Korean reporters ate flat on Hu Lai's side, and all suffocated.

Just waiting for the Chinese team to lose to the South Korean team, take Hu Lai out to sacrifice.

The Chinese media have sweated for the Chinese team and Hu Lai-the hatred value is full. If this is really lost, the sticks don't know what to do!

But if it wins... it's difficult to look at it. Even if the South Korean team does not send the strongest lineup to China, there is still a big gap in strength between the two sides.

What if you really lose?

If you really lose... then it’s all to blame for the Korean media’s pre-match hype Hu Lai "casting spells" on Park Chun-tae, which greatly affected Hu Lai’s and the Chinese team’s preparation work. It was all Koreans who were shameless. Lost the ball. The Koreans are not conquered by war and are despicable and shameless!
