Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 42 We Are Alive

In the Working People's Stadium in Xingtan City, Jianshan Province, 50,000 Chinese fans are singing the national anthem.

"...The Chinese nation has arrived! The most dangerous time..."

Why sing the national anthem at this time?

Because the Chinese team on the field has indeed reached the most dangerous time.

There are still five minutes before the end of the regular 90-minute game, but the Chinese team at home is 1:2 behind.

In another top 12 match in the afternoon, Qatar and Australia in the away game drew 0:0. This is a great benefit for Saudi Arabia. As long as they can beat the Chinese team in the away game, they will surpass Australia with 11 points with 13 points and rise to the second place in the group. Have the opportunity to qualify directly for the World Cup finals.

So they played very proactively in this game, not at all like playing away.

Although it was the Chinese team that broke the deadlock first——Lou Jiarong's long shot from outside the penalty area hit the Saudi Arabian player's leg and refracted the sideline, making the opponent's goalkeeper unable to save.

The Chinese team thus took the lead.

But then Saudi Arabia chased two goals in a row within ten minutes, rewriting the score to 2:1.

Next, Shi Wuyin made tactical adjustments and replaced Luo Kai with the more experienced striker Gao Chen.

But it was still too late to break through the goal of Saudi Arabia.

If the Chinese team loses to Saudi Arabia, not only will it be left far behind by Saudi Arabia, but it will also be unable to take advantage of the opportunity of Qatar and Australia to draw with each other and continue to bite their opponents.

So can't lose, absolutely can't lose.

In fact, before the start of the game, Chinese fans thought about winning Saudi Arabia at home.

After all, Australia has already drawn a draw with Qatar, and when the snipe and the clam are fighting, it is their turn for the Chinese team to benefit.

Everyone is looking forward to the Chinese team beating Saudi Arabia at home. In this case, the Chinese team will tie with Saudi Arabia, which is also 10 points, surpassing Qatar, which is fourth in the group, and only one point away from Australia, which is second in the group.

With three rounds left in the group stage, the Chinese team may even advance directly to the World Cup finals as the top two in the group!

Dreams are full,

But the reality is so skinny...

Now Chinese fans don't even think about taking all three points, and they are satisfied if they don't lose.

The anxious and helpless expressions of the Chinese team players repeatedly appeared on the TV broadcast. These are close-up shots of the Chinese players at different time periods.

Putting it on at this time to focus on the broadcast, the Chinese fans in front of the TV were also irritable.

In front of the bench, there were many substitute players of the Chinese team. They could no longer sit still on the bench chairs. Instead, they stood up and walked to the sidelines to stare at the field and cheer for their teammates.

Luo Kai, who had returned to the bench a long time ago, was still sitting on the chair, also looking at the court with an uneasy expression.

After he opened the scoring for the national team in the last game, he was very happy for a long time. He was full of pride and self-confidence, thinking that his opponents in the top twelve were no different.

Looking forward to continuing the excellent performance against the UAE in the game against Saudi Arabia.

As a result, because of his outstanding performance in the previous game, he was closely marked by Saudi Arabian players in this game. As a player with the ball, after there is no space to display his speed, his threat has dropped by nearly half.

Therefore, he was replaced by head coach Shi Wuyin in the 62nd minute, becoming the first player to be replaced in this game.

what does that mean?

It means that his performance in this game was very bad, and he failed the trust and expectations of coach Shi Guidance in him.

Luo Kai can hardly forgive himself.

He was supposed to help the team score, but he became the weakest link of the Chinese team.

If I lose this match, how should I face those stares...

※※※

Chen Xingyi supported his knees with his hands, panting heavily.

He started this game and played until now. Director Shi has used up all three substitutions, so he should not be replaced again.

Why did Luo Kai have been replaced, but let himself stay on the court?

Obviously, Director Shi believes that he can help the Chinese team's offense and contribute to the Chinese team's goals.

But until now he has not been able to create a murderous opportunity for the Chinese team.

He failed to live up to the high expectations placed on him by Director Shi.

Can't just leave it at that...

Thinking of this, he straightened up again, and followed the Saudi Arabian player's throw-in, throwing himself into the game again.

He ran to the back of the Saudi Arabian player who had just caught the ball.

The Saudi Arabian player turned around after receiving the ball, and saw a person coming towards him, and the two of them collided with each other.

Chen Xingyi was one step too late. Before he could push forward, he saw that the opposing player had collided with Lou Jiarong.

The opposing player seemed to reflexively stretch out his foot to poke the ball, trying to poke the football away.

As a result, the football hit Lou Jiarong's leg and bounced to the other side, towards... towards Chen Xingyi!

He didn't care about whether the referee would blow the whistle, so he stretched out his foot to hook the football to his feet, and then dribbled the ball forward!

"Lou Jiarong's counterattack succeeded! Chen Xingyi took the ball to the middle!"

Chen Xingyi did not dribble along the sideline, but chose to dribble towards the center.

After all, the middle lane is more threatening.

It can also stir up Saudi Arabia's defense even more!

Sure enough, seeing Chen Xingyi coming towards the center with the ball, two players from Saudi Arabia immediately stepped forward and tried to close the goal to defend.

Without hesitation, Chen Xingyi passed the football to Gao Ruimin who was next to him.

After passing the ball, he quickly changed direction and broke out of the encirclement between the two Saudi Arabian players.

Gao Ruimin didn't stop the ball, passed the ball to the front, and returned it to Chen Xingyi.

He was kicked from behind by the Saudi Arabian player just after he passed the football.

There were boos and shouts from the stands.

The referee did not stop the game, but raised his hands and ran forward.

"The offense is good! Chen Xingyi received the ball!"

The two Saudi Arabian players who surrounded Chen Xingyi just now turned around and chased after him.

One of them has quickly pasted Chen Xingyi from the left, and at the same time pulled his jersey.

Chen Xingyi's pulled body couldn't speed up for a while, and it was a little wobbly.

But he still insisted on dribbling the ball forward, and instead of running towards an empty space, he ran towards another Saudi Arabian player!

Just when the player was finally attracted by him and rushed forward, he stabbed Zhang Qinghuan behind the Saudi Arabian player with the toe of his right foot while running!

Leave it to you, brother Huan!

After passing the ball, he finally couldn't hold his balance anymore and was pulled down to the ground by his opponent...

But his eyes were still fixed on brother Huan.

He saw Brother Huan took a step forward when he received the ball, attracting Saudi Arabia's central defender to come out to defend him.

Just when the two were about to collide, Zhang Qinghuan kicked the football forward!

The direction of the football is exactly the space behind the Saudi central defender who came up to defend him just now!

"Zhang Qinghuan went straight...a good shot!"

The reason why He Feng yelled that was because he saw that while Zhang Qinghuan was passing the ball, Hu Lai, who was originally on the right rib, suddenly advanced forward and squeezed into the penalty area from the Saudi Arabian defender who was closely defending him!

The Saudi Arabian defender only had time to reflexively stretch his foot to block the football, but he didn't stop it. At the same time, he opened his arms to intercept Hu Lai, but he didn't!

Then he turned around and saw Hu Lai catching the ball behind him, so instead of continuing to chase, he stood still and raised his arms to signal to the referee that Hu Lai was offside...

But how could the ball be offside? !

The Chinese fans in the stands burst into cheers when they saw this scene, as if a storm was coming towards the restricted area of ​​Saudi Arabia!

"Holly!"

"Hu Lai—!"

When Hou Lai, who was behind the entire defense line of Saudi Arabia, received the football, the Saudi Arabian goalkeeper who attacked hastily just ran to the small penalty area line...

He didn't continue to dribble the ball, and didn't make any adjustments. Instead, he suddenly pushed his right foot while running, and pushed the football to the near corner of the goal!

The soccer ball brushed the toes of the fallen Saudi Arabian goalkeeper and turned into the goal!

Chen Xingyi, who was lying on the ground and saw this scene, struggled to get up from the ground, and ran towards Hu Lai at a faster speed.

Zhang Qinghuan jumped up, waved his fists, and followed.

A storm fell from the sky, and the entire Working People's Stadium was filled with the sound of howling winds.

"Hu Lai—beautiful!!! Beautiful!!! A lore! A lore in the 87th minute! He helped the Chinese team equalize the score! This is a goal worth a thousand dollars!" He Feng hoarse. "The Chinese team is alive again! We are still alive!!"

※※※

Luo Kai, who was sitting on the bench watching the game, suddenly jumped up from his seat, rushed to the sidelines, and then slammed the towel around his neck on the ground!

Then he raised his head and yelled, punching the sky.

The Chinese players next to him also hugged together, as excited as Luo Kai.

They roared and roared, waved their fists, and some people used the water bottle in their hands as a water gun, splashing water everywhere, as if it was not a bottle of mineral water, but champagne...

Shi Wuyin, Li Zhifei, and Hong Renjie hugged each other, laughing and dancing.

More than 50,000 Chinese fans in the stands jumped up and down at the same time, making the camera lenses set up high in the stands of the stadium shake.

It looked as if the stadium was shaking!

※※※

After scoring the goal, Hu Lai turned around and ran towards the corner flag area. This time he failed to make his signature celebration move, because Gao Chen had already hugged him halfway, and then directly pulled him to the ground and pressed him down.

Then more Chinese team players swarmed, jumped up, and rushed forward.

"Fuck! Fuck!!"

"Awesome! Awesome!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

"Hu Lai, you are such a blockbuster!"

"Brother Huan, you are also a fortress!"

...

Behind the Chinese team players celebrating with carnival are Saudi Arabian players.

Some of them stood with their hands on their hips, some stared dumbfounded at the football in the goal, and some cast confused glances at the Chinese players celebrating their goals.

Some people are now realizing that a cooked duck can fly, and the three points in hand...nope!
