Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 173: Howard

Paraguay really hopes to take advantage of Lin Zhiyuan's uneasy opportunity after making a low-level mistake to strengthen its offensive against the Chinese team. Hope to score again.

But until the final whistle, they failed to score again.

Many Chinese fans, including He Feng, are also worried that Lin Zhiyuan's low-level error will affect the state of the team.

But the problem they were worried about did not happen.

This time, the boys of the Chinese team withstood the pressure and the opponent's offensive, and finally defended the score of 1:3 to the end.

"It doesn't matter, it's just two goals behind. And we still have an away goal...There is still a chance!" After the game, He Feng watched the Chinese team players who bowed their heads down the court to comfort them. Comfort the Chinese fans in front of the TV.

If it is 1:2, I believe the tone of his speech will be completely different at this time.

The Chinese players will not have this expression when they leave the field...

Although the mouth says "There is still a chance", many people know in their hearts that hope has become very slim.

Of course, we cannot say "no chance", because in fact there is indeed a chance, but it's hard to say how likely the chance is to be realized...

The most important thing is that Hao De has a sprained ankle, and no one knows whether he can return to the line before the game four days later. As one of the best young goalkeepers in China, Lin Zhiyuan has shown his hips so much that people's trust in him plummets, almost falling to zero.

Then, who will guard the goal for the Chinese team in the next game?

Will Sun Rong, another goalkeeper of the national team, start?

As the main goalkeeper of Shanhaihai, Sun Rong was originally the second goalkeeper in the national team, but since Lin Zhiyuan came, he has gradually become the third goalkeeper.

Now that the first goalkeeper is injured and the second goalkeeper is pulling his hips, don't you have to go on top of the third goalkeeper?

But Sun Rong lacks the experience of playing in the national team, because most of the time the main goalkeeper of the national team belongs to Halde. In such a critical competition, many people have no idea what Sun Rong can perform.

Before the second round of the game started, the Chinese team was already covered by a cloud.

Back in the dressing room, the atmosphere was still a bit awkward and dull.

Everyone knows that although they have an away goal, the total score is two goals behind, and the prospects are still not optimistic.

And the most important thing is that everyone feels unhappy as long as they think, "If we hadn't had Lin Zhiyuan's low-level mistake, we might have been 2:2 with Paraguay now".

Before Lin Zhiyuan lost the ball, the Chinese team performed very well. It is not nonsense to say that they might draw with Paraguay.

When every player of the Chinese team walked past Lin Zhiyuan, he would look at him one more time. The meaning contained in those eyes was self-explanatory.

In the dressing room, Lin Zhiyuan, who is usually carefree and awkward, also lowered his head and remained silent today, just quietly packing his own things.

Others are not thinking about chatting or joking. If you want to say anything, everyone can't help but lower their voices and whisper.

In this embarrassing and uncomfortable atmosphere, the Chinese players havetily finished finishing the game, packed themselves and their packages, and got on the bus and went straight to the airport-they needed to take the plane specially packaged by the Football Association for them. , Fly directly from Asuncion to Lingnan, China, where the second round of the two teams will be held.

This was originally a measure taken by the Football Association to allow the Chinese team to concentrate on the game and increase the team's chances of promotion, but now I don't know if it will be a waste of work in the end...

"Eh? Eh it's dangerous!"

With a loud shout from He Feng, Ramirez picked Lin Zhiyuan, the daring goalkeeper, and shot the goal before Wang Guangwei could make it.

This scene was repeatedly broadcast on the domestic network after the game.

Although Luo Kai scored an away goal, everyone's attention is now focused on Lin Zhiyuan's mistake.

Discussions about this ball can be seen everywhere on the Internet, and every discussion is in full swing.

Regardless of how they discussed, everyone basically scolded Lin Zhiyuan.

Even the fans of the South China Tigers did not help Lin Zhiyuan this time. Because his mistake was so stupid...

Some netizens joked: "I didn't expect that there would be someone who could let the fans of the capital Tenglong, the Shanhaishanghaimen, the Lingnan South China Tigers and the Hedong Thunderbolt all put aside their prejudices, unite together, and have a unified caliber... Lin Zhiyuan did it. He can go down in history by this alone!"

"As a South China Tigers fan, I am really not surprised that Lin Zhiyuan made this mistake. Because of his personality and style of play, it is really easy to have such problems. He likes a person who is so thrilled, and he always thinks about it all the time. It’s all about being handsome, isn’t it sooner or later that something goes wrong?"

Shi Wuyin was asked in an interview after the game what he thought of Lin Zhiyuan's mistake:

"I also don't understand why he did this. This kind of mistake shouldn't happen to him. He may just want to hit the opponent by surprise and directly attack to control the football... This loss could have been avoided. But I think It is normal for a young man to make mistakes, and I will not lose trust in him because of his mistake. The important thing is that we have an away goal..."

As the head coach, he did not avoid talking, but no one criticized Lin Zhiyuan, but chose to stand with him.

A reporter raised his hand and asked: "Will Lin Zhiyuan still start the next game?"

Shi Wuyin said: "We must first determine how bad Hao De is..."

Finally, in the face of angry Chinese fans and public opinion, Shi Wuyin chose to speak for Lin Zhiyuan again: "It's normal for young people to make mistakes. I don't think it is necessary to hold on. The important thing is to be united, whether it is our team or the general environment. We must be united. There is one more round in the game and we will fight to the last minute."

Although the Chinese team lost 1:3 in the away game and their prospects for promotion were very slim, they were warmly welcomed by Lingnan fans at the airport when they arrived in Lingnan.

"Take dreams as horses and live up to your youth!"

"Lingnan fans will accompany you to the last minute!" They cheered for the Chinese team with such a banner.

This made the Chinese team players who lost the ball finally appeared with a rare smile, and waved to the fans outside through the window glass.

Only Lin Zhiyuan still had a dumb face, shrouding himself in the "low pressure".

It is reasonable to say that this is his home court, but he does not have the ease of going home at all.

On the contrary, seeing these enthusiastic fans, he will think of his mistakes.

How enthusiastic these fans are for the current Chinese team, how much guilt he feels in his heart.

I can't cheer up at all.

The first thing the Chinese team did when they arrived in Lingnan City to prepare for the final play-off match was to arrange for Hao De to go to the hospital for a detailed injury check.

To decide whether he can catch up with the final crucial battle.

But the result is not optimistic.

"Definitely it can't keep up, the sprained area has already swollen. It is useless to seal it... Even if you don't feel the pain, it will directly affect the effect of his actions." The authoritative sports medicine expert pointed to the film that was taken. Head coach Shi Wuyin and team leader Hong Renjie said.

The two looked at each other, and they weren't surprised by this result. What makes them worry now is how to tell Hao De.

"He will definitely be disappointed. He can only be an audience at the most critical moment...especially after encountering Lin Zhiyuan..."

"There is no way..."

Hong Renjie led Shi Wuyin to whisper in the hospital corridor, discussing what to do.

"You can tell Hao De, Lao Hong."

"Why me? What about you?"

"You and Hao De have worked longer than me, me? I'll go with you."

"You kid... let me be the bad guys?"

"I am worried that Hao De will have other ideas, after all, I recruited Lin Zhiyuan into the national team..." Shi Wuyin still expressed his concerns.

This reason successfully convinced Hong Renjie.

After all, everyone can tell that when Shi Wuyin recruited Lin Zhiyuan, he came to compete with Hao De.

In the domestic league, Lin Zhiyuan is gaining momentum, and some media and fans can't wait to put the label of the future main force of the Chinese team on Lin Zhiyuan.

Shi Wuyin is worried that Hao De has opinions about him, and it is also human nature...

Thinking of this, the two finally made a division of labor. Hong Renjie will tell Hao De's inspection results.

But before going to Hao De, Hong Renjie asked: "Are you still planning to make Lin Zhiyuan start?"

Shi Wuyin first hesitated and then stopped, and then said, "I haven't thought about it yet."

Hong Renjie nodded: "Now everyone in the team doesn't trust him very much... A goalkeeper, without the trust of his teammates, is really difficult."

Shi Wuyin didn't speak, and bowed his head towards the lounge where Halde was.

When the two entered the lounge, they saw the gaze that Hao De casted at them.

Seeing this gaze, Hong Renjie couldn't help but hesitate, his mouth was open, and he said, "Lao Hao...you can't play the next game..."

Halde lowered his head and said, "I guess so. Even if I barely play, my state is not good. If I make a mistake or something, I will become a national sinner..."

Hearing what he said, Hong Renjie couldn't help but glanced at Shi Wuyin next to him. I was afraid that Shi Wuyin thought that Haode was mocking Lin Zhiyuan, but Shi Wuyin was expressionless, as if he hadn't heard this.

Halde raised his head again and looked at Shi Wuyin: "Guide Shi, will you still let Lin Zhiyuan start in the next game?"

Faced with this 34-year-old goalkeeper who has played for the national team forty-five times, Shi Wuyin shook his head: "Not sure yet."

What Haode said next shook the other two people present:

"If possible, I think Lin Zhiyuan should be given another chance to give guidance."

Shi Wuyin stared at Hao De with wide eyes, while Hong Renjie asked directly, "Old Hao, you..."

"Lin Zhiyuan does have a high talent. I don't want him to be delayed for a few more years because of this mistake." Howard explained calmly.

"This is the price of Chinese football in the next four years..." Hong Renjie persuaded.

"That's not necessarily." Howard shook his head.

Shi Wuyin didn't let the two people argue on this topic, but waved his hands: "I'll consider your opinion, Howard."

Hao De has no objection, he is not the head coach after all, he can only provide advice. If the head coach finally did not take his own advice, he would have nothing to say.

Shi Wuyin asked, "But I'm curious, why are you still optimistic about Lin Zhiyuan?"

Haode smiled: "I know how stressful it is to be a goalkeeper, and I also came here like that..."

Shi Wuyin just remembered that now the main goalkeeper of the Chinese team, Howard, also had bohemian "ridiculous" years when he was young. His big mouth and his arrogant publicity on the court can offend people and have been criticized. Boom.

Because of this, the early stages of his career were actually not smooth, and he took a lot of detours.

Someone later said that it was the price of his growth.

Nowadays, Hao De has become calm and introverted~www.ltnovel.com~ It is completely invisible that he was called "bad boy" in his early years.

People say he has finally matured.

He has also become the main goalkeeper of the national team.

Forty-five national team appearances are not considered the most in the Chinese team. On the one hand, it is because of the particularity of the goalkeeper's position. On the other hand, it is also due to the detours he took when he was young.

"If you can give me more trust after I get into trouble, maybe I will develop better..." Howard said. "Until now, I can't help thinking like this. I know it's very selfish. Why should the whole team take responsibility for my mistakes? But always give young people a chance to correct their mistakes, right?"

Shi Wuyin and Hong Renjie were silent after listening.
