Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 43 The price paid

In fact, strictly speaking, Hu Lai's goal is not a lore. First of all, this is not a goal scored in the last minute of the game. After he scored this goal, there are still a few minutes left in the game, and Saudi Arabia may score another goal.

Secondly, the goal was just an "absolute tie". After all, he was equalizing the score, not overtaking it.

As long as the Saudi Arabian players can quickly adjust their mentality and attack with all their strength, they may be able to counter the lore again.

But when these Saudi Arabian players heard the shouts erupting from the working people's stadium in Xingtan City, they felt as if they were not playing against the Chinese team, but fighting against a violent storm.

How can manpower conquer heaven?

In the face of the furious nature, the Saudi Arabian players almost lost all fighting spirit to resist...

Hu Lai's goal seemed to give a boost to the more than 50,000 Chinese fans in this stadium. The beating sound of more than 50,000 hearts was like the footsteps of giants.

He gets closer and closer, and the next step may be to trample the Saudi Arabian players to death.

After the game restarted, the morale of the Chinese team, which had just equalized the score, was boosted and they launched the most violent attack on the goal of Saudi Arabia.

I hope to score another goal in the last few minutes and really beat Saudi Arabia.

It's a pity that there is not much time left for the Chinese team.

In addition, the head coach of Saudi Arabia made adjustments on the sidelines, allowing the team to shrink the defense and put a bus in front of the goal. The Chinese team still failed to score another goal...

Four minutes into stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Although they failed to win the game, there were deafening cheers over the Working People's Stadium.

Amid the thunderous cheers, the players of the Chinese team, regardless of whether they were starters or substitutes, were celebrating the draw to their heart's content.

For the Chinese team, Hu Lai's goal was too critical, and this point was too critical.

"...When we were in an extremely unfavorable situation, our national football boys did not give up. They fought hard until the last moment, and only then did Hu Lai score a perfect goal." Looking at the players on the field, He Feng said emotionally Said.

"This kind of Chinese team may be what our fans want to see.

Whether you win or lose, you can always see hope from them... The young people played a vital role in this goal. Chen Xingyi's surprise goal, Gao Ruimin took the risk of being shoveled and injured. The football was passed to him, as well as Zhang Qinghuan's scalpel-like pass... In the end, of course, it was Hu Lai who made the final decision. Zhang Qinghuan, the oldest of these people, is only 25 years old, and Hu Lai, the youngest, is only 21 years old... If before these two games, there are still people who are worried that Shi Wuyin's recruitment of young people will lead to turmoil in the team and a decline in combat effectiveness if. Then I believe that after watching these two games, everyone will only have one thought, and that is..."

Yan Kang rushed to the side and said: "There are fewer recruits!"

He Feng laughed loudly: "Haha! That's right, there are fewer recruits! We are eager to see more young players emerge, because they represent the future of Chinese football! The past, good or bad, cannot be changed. But the future There are still infinite possibilities! From today, in order to create an extremely beautiful future, work hard! Young people! This game has shown you one of the infinite possibilities. As long as you work hard, you can become the protagonist in the national team! "

Qin Qi in front of the TV turned his head and said to his father who was watching the game with him, "Dad, I want to be the protagonist too!"

Qin Lin rubbed his son's hair and said, "You should play in the national competition in Jiaxiang first. This year, Jiaxiang High School did not participate in the national competition. This school's limelight and talents are almost robbed by Dongchuan Middle School." .”

"It's okay, when I go, Jiaxiang can be revived!" As if inspired by today's game, Qin Qi said with great pride.

Xie Lan stood in front of the TV, looked at the screen and asked her husband Hu Lixin who was sitting on the sofa behind her: "Old Hu, do you think we still have hope of going to the World Cup this time?"

Hu Lixin, who was looking at the screen, shook his head: "I don't know."

"You predict..."

"How do you predict this? From the ranking point of view, we are still fifth, but we have not been pulled away by the top few. Next, we will play Australia away, South Korea at home, and Qatar away. Which opponent is easy to deal with?"

After hearing Hu Lixin's words, Xie Lan also pursed her lips, frowned tightly, and stared at the TV broadcast screen without speaking.

After this round of the top 12 match, the South Korean team currently tops the list with 15 points because they defeated the United Arab Emirates 3:1 at home, and has opened up a gap of 4 points with the second-placed Australia.

Australia has 11 points because it was tied by Qatar at home.

The third place, Saudi Arabia, has 11 points and continues to rank behind Australia because of the lack of goal difference.

Qatar and the Chinese team share eight points, ranking fourth because of goal difference.

Chinese team fifth.

The United Arab Emirates, still without a win, are in sixth place.

Judging from this points situation, it is really hard to say whether there is still a chance.

If there is no chance, the performance of the Chinese team in these two games is really full of hope. Everyone is willing to believe in this hope.

But to say that there is a chance... The Chinese team failed to win Saudi Arabia at home, and missed the opportunity to surpass Qatar in the standings and catch up with Saudi Arabia and Australia, which is enough to make pessimists have no hope for the future. Next, we will challenge Australia in an away game or play South Korea at home, which one is easy to deal with?

In these two games, as long as the Chinese team loses one game, they may be out early.

This is equivalent to walking a tightrope at a height of 100 meters without any protective measures. The possibility of falling is too great...

Some fans on the Internet began to feel very regretful and upset that the Chinese team failed to win Qatar at home after this game.

After all, if the Chinese team won that game and got three points, the current accumulation of ten points would be one point less than Saudi Arabia and Australia, and the situation would be much better than it is now.

But unfortunately, there are no ifs in the world. In other words, there are advantages and disadvantages in everything. If the Chinese team had won the key battle with Qatar under the leadership of Wilson, then Wilson might not have gotten out of class.

And Wilson didn't leave get out of class, how could Shi Wuyin get on stage?

If Shi Wuyin is not on stage, how can young players like Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai appear in the national team?

With Wilson's stubborn tactical system and employment concepts, even if they are lucky enough to win Qatar at home, can they beat the United Arab Emirates at home and draw with Saudi Arabia at home?

So the situation may become that the Chinese team has three points against Qatar, but may lose four points in these two games.

Xie Lan obviously already understood what the Chinese team will face next.

That heart has to hang on like this.

Either wait until the Chinese team has finished the top 12, or get off halfway.

She took out her mobile phone and wanted to see how fans on the Internet praised her son, so as to ease her worries about the future of the Chinese team.

At this moment, her son appeared on the TV screen, standing in front of a background board, being interviewed by reporter Wang Shanshan.

So she put down her phone and stared at the TV screen.

Wang Shanshan still said to Hu Lai with a sweet smile: "First of all, congratulations to Hu Lai, your goal at the last moment helped the Chinese team equalize the score. So what do you think about this game?"

"Ah, I'm very happy to help the team equalize the score, but it would be even better if we can win..." Facing the camera, Hu Lai, who had just finished the game, still had some sweat on his face, not to mention the stained hair on his hair. There was dirt and grass clippings, and there were stains all over the red jersey.

The TV camera also moved down to Hu Lai's calf. The long socks had been taken off, and the shin guards were removed. There were many red and purple traces visible to the naked eye, and a little blood was even oozing from some places.

These are the "commemorations" left by Hou Lai when he confronted his opponents on the court.

In addition, the protruding blood vessels and veins on the calf are also a bit shocking-as Hu Lai increased his core strength training during this period, the varicose veins became more serious than before.

The legs of a professional player definitely don't look good, you can even say "ugly". Their legs have a memory beyond ordinary people, but there is a price to pay, and this is one of the prices.

Xie Lan, who watched in front of the TV, was very heartbroken.

Although the son said that it would be better if he could win, the mother can still see that even for this unsatisfactory draw, her son has already tried his best...

After briefly accepting Wang Shanshan's interview, Hu Lai left in a hurry.

He didn't even wait to get on the bus with his teammates back to his hotel.

Instead, he will take a special car specially arranged for him by the national team directly from the stadium to the airport in Xingtan City. From there, fly back to London.

There are direct flights from Star Tan to London, but unfortunately, there are only three flights a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Today is Wednesday, but the departure time of the flight is at 11:30 noon on Wednesday.

So Hu Lai perfectly missed the direct flight back to London today.

If he still has to wait for a direct flight, he will have to wait until Friday.

This is absolutely not acceptable.

Because on Sunday, Leeds City will go to an away game against Abion, and when he returns to London on Friday, it will be difficult to catch up with Sunday's league game.

So now he must fly back to the UK immediately, even if there is no direct flight, he can choose a connecting flight.

Abion is currently ranked fifteenth in the league, just one place higher than Leeds City, and can be regarded as Leeds City's direct competitor in relegation.

He had to get back in time to join the team's league preparations.

For this he had to choose a connecting flight, which may make him spend more time on the trip, but at least he can return to Leeds by Friday.

A reporter photographed Hu Lai leaving in a black car outside the stadium.

As the only player in the Chinese team who plays in Europe, traveling back and forth like this may become a daily routine for him in the future.

Hope it's worth the effort...

The reporters who saw this scene muttered silently in their hearts.
