Fox in the Penalty Area

"...In a World Cup warm-up match held early this morning, Beijing time, the Chinese team lost 0:4 away to the French team of the last World Cup semi-finals... During the match, Shi Wuyin performed the team's lineup. Substantial rotation. At the press conference after the game, he said that the goal of the game has been achieved. Although the Chinese team lost four goals, they still played what he wanted to see..."

"Despite losing the first warm-up match, the Chinese team quickly started preparing for the second warm-up match. This morning, the whole team, led by assistant coach Li Zhifei, played on the lawn outside the hotel. They will resume training. Then they will leave Paris and go to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, to challenge the Ukrainian national team in the second warm-up match... It can be seen from the players' recovery training that the impact of losing the game yesterday is still... I hope the players can emerge from this kind of image as soon as possible..."

In the TV news, the Chinese team players wearing uniform training uniforms are undergoing recovery training on the lawn under the leadership of the coach. The expressions on the faces of the national team players who appeared in several close-up shots were slightly solemn.

Reminiscing that they lost the game yesterday, this performance is normal.

If everyone sees that the Chinese team has lost the game, they all have a good night's sleep and all of them are laughing and smiling. It is estimated that public opinion will explode...

Although this is a warm-up match, the result of the match does not mean anything.

But there are still many Chinese fans who have high hopes for them before the game, hoping that they will be able to thrive in a foreign land.

Based on this expectation, the Chinese team lost the game. If the fans were to see the smiling faces of everyone after the loss, it would indeed be disrespectful to the fans.

After the Chinese team had resumed training in the morning, the whole team had lunch at noon and left the hotel in a bus. They had to fly to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, to challenge the Ukrainian national team in their second warm-up match.

In this city, they left a big group photo and a 0:4 failure.

This is their first official warm-up match after they won the right to qualify for the World Cup, so in fact, it can be said that the first World Cup tour of the Chinese team actually started from this game.

It's just different from what many people expected. The Chinese team's World Cup preparation journey started with an embarrassing failure...

※※※

Four days later, on March 23, the Chinese team challenged the Ukrainian team in an away game.

Compared with the game four days ago, Shi Wuyin made some adjustments to the starting lineup.

Lin Zhiyuan, who did not start the last game, appeared in the starting lineup and replaced the previous Haude.

Hao De was injured in the final play-offs of the World Cup qualifiers. In fact, the injury was not serious, but he did not catch up with the second round of the play-offs at that time. This gave Lin Zhiyuan a chance to become a hero.

After qualifying for the World Cup, he did not take long to cultivate and healed from injury. Did not even delay the new season of Hedong Raiden's Super League and AFC Champions League group stage.

Regarding Howard and Lin Zhiyuan who will be the starting goalkeeper for the Chinese team to the World Cup, Shi Wuyin and his coaching staff are still hesitating. Although Lin Zhiyuan had a perfect performance in the final playoffs, he did have the shortcomings of ups and downs and easy to thunder. Hao De wins by being steady and experienced. Sometimes choosing a starting goalkeeper does not only depend on the player’s goalkeeping skills...

So the last game was Hao De's starter, this game was replaced by Lin Zhiyuan's starter.

In addition to Lin Zhiyuan, Zhang Qinghuan, who only played on the bench in the second half of the last game, also started the game. The former midfielder Guo Junfu returned to the bench.

From the starting lineups of these two games, it can be seen that Shi Wuyin is not very concerned about the results of the game. He still has to seize the opportunity of the warm-up match and constantly try new combinations of personnel and tactics.

At the same time, he also made adjustments in tactics.

In the last game against France, he fought back on defense. The result was still beaten by the French team.

This time he is playing Ukraine, which is inferior to the French team, and Shi Wuyin's tactics are much more aggressive.

Faced with Ukraine, which has not even reached the World Cup finals, the players of the Chinese team have to be more confident.

After the game started, they launched a fierce attack on Ukraine's goal.

This is also what Shi Wuyin asked, the purpose of which is to test how fierce the offensive firepower of the Chinese team is.

Before the game, he told his players, don't care about how many goals the Chinese team will lose in this game, first see if his offense can penetrate Ukraine's defense.

"Rokai got the ball from the wing... facing Ukraine's defense... eh!"

Before He Feng finished speaking, he saw Luo Kai suddenly throw the football out, and then speed up and force a breakthrough!

He quickly yelled afterwards.

In his shouting, Luo Kai, who started suddenly, caught the Ukrainian defender by surprise. He turned a little slower and was squeezed behind by Luo Kai.

After a successful breakthrough, Luo Kai did not pass directly, but took the football into the penalty area, and then crossed the middle.

It's a pity that football was blocked by the Ukrainian defender Roman Sergey, who was closely guarding Hulay.

Although he failed to score, Roquet's performance was much better than in the previous game.

As the player who played the most minutes in the Chinese team in the last game, Luo Kai was given special care by Shi Wuyin.

Thinking of how long he had not played in Veronica for three months, and unlike other domestic players who had flown over from China and had no physical problems, Shi Wuyin gave him the most playing time until the first time. He was replaced in seventy-seven minutes.

But as the player with the most minutes on the team, Luo Kai's performance was lacklustre.

This made Luo Kai, who was holding back his energy before the game and wanted to perform well in front of Li Qingqing, was extremely depressed.

Shi Gui gave him trust and allowed him to play the longest time, but he could not show any brilliant performance to return Shi Gui.

Now, all his inner shame has turned into motivation in this game.

"Should I tell you, Ukraine's strength is indeed far worse than France...Although they also have superstars like Curtin..." Assistant coach Li Zhifei said to Shi Wuyin in front of the sideline coach.

"Even so, they are better than our Chinese team." Shi Wuyin glanced at the live score on the big screen.

Ukraine is leading the Chinese team 1-0.

"Of course, of course. But we have also made great progress. Also after losing the ball, the players' performance is much better than in the last game against the French team. The mentality is stable and the mind can remain clear. I think this is very good. It's not easy..."

"That's why we have to play with the French team first." Shi Wuyin smiled slightly. "Rather than compare Ukraine first and then play for the French team. Sometimes, the order of appearance is also important."

"Because I first played France, after experiencing the severe beatings of the World Cup semi-finals, I have seen strong winds and waves." Li Zhifei understood what Shi Wuyin's words meant.

Indeed, although the Chinese team lost terribly in that game, they were beaten with no power to fight back. Both the score and the scene were very ugly. However, as the coach of the team, Li Zhifei knows that such a failure is of great significance to the team and precious.

The outside media and fans may not see anything for a while, but as an insider, you can still feel that some changes are happening to the Chinese team players.

For example, Luo Kai in this game.

He was obviously better than the last game.

Thinking of this, Li Zhifei walked to the sidelines and shouted to Luo Kai in the stadium: "Luo Kai! Luo Kai!"

As a role who often needs to yell and yell on the sidelines for instructions on the sidelines of the head coach Shi Wuyin, the Chinese team players are very familiar with the voice of assistant coach Li Zhifei, so he easily attracted Luo Kai's attention.

Luo Kai thought that the head coach would give him the latest instructions, but he did not expect to see Li Zhifei giving him a thumbs up and shouting: "Just kick it! Use the way you are good at it! Punch them!"

Hearing the coach's words, Luo Kai took a deep breath, then nodded slowly.

This was what he was waiting for.

It feels as if there is some shackle in the body being broken...

※※※

Chen Xingyi broke through from the left and sent a cross. With Hulai being stared at by the Ukrainian central defenders, Luo Kai suddenly jumped in from the back point and used his speed advantage to jump high and grab the ball. In front of the Ukrainian left-back, a rush to the top!

Fortunately, Ukrainian goalkeeper Valery Kotyarov reacted in time. In the process of turning over and throwing back, he raised one hand and knocked the football out of the crossbar.

"Oh what a pity!" He Feng exclaimed, "Luo Kai is in a really good state today!"

Luo Kai, who had not scored a goal, landed with both hands clenched in front of his chest, and yelled vigorously.

He himself was very upset about not being able to score a goal.

※※※

Luo Kai's excellent state also stimulated the performance of other players in the Chinese team-young people always have a competitive heart.

It's just that some young players compare their annual salary, how rich their sports cars are, and whose girls have the best ass...

What these young people compare on the field is the performance of the game.

Your Luo Kai performance is so outstanding, can Chen Xingyi let you compare?

No way!

After Chen Xingyi's outstanding performance ~www.novelmt.com~ Zhang Qinghuan took a look, how come the young people are all in the limelight? Is this alright? This is not good! Really think that you can rely on your trident for the frontcourt attack? Don't forget that I am the one who wields your trident!

How can I be a "halberd man" without showing some performance?

Come, come, follow my command!

When Zhang Qinghuan was holding the ball in the frontcourt, he stretched his fingers to the space between the ribs behind the Ukrainian defense and directed Luo Kai to penetrate there.

Luo Kai understands his mind, and leans diagonally in from the side. This led to the shrinking of Ukraine's defense.

But he passed the football to the other side and caught the Ukrainian team by surprise!

When the Ukrainian players wanted to step forward to block Chen Xingyi, Chen Xingyi directly used the outer instep of his right foot to cut the football to the right rib of the penalty area!

That's where Luo Kai just inserted!

Luo Kai is ready to catch the ball!

Hu Lai stepped into the middle, pointed his fingers at his feet, and yelled in Ukrainian: "Pass the ball to me!!!"

This voice made the Ukrainian central defender Roman Sergey who wanted to block Rokai stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Hu Lai, and at the same time planned to go up to defend Hu Lai.

But at the same time, a doubt popped up in his mind: Why would I understand what he was talking about?

Immediately after him, he suddenly reacted—that kid spoke Ukrainian!

But why does he speak Ukrainian to his teammates? Does his teammate also understand Ukrainian? !

I haven't waited for the little question marks in Sergey's mind to finish... There Luo Kai has already taken a shot after receiving the football!

In the penalty area, the football turned into a white light and rushed straight into the upper corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper Kotyarov arrived just behind the football...

The ball is in!

Luo Kai scored!

This is his first goal in Europe!
