Fox in the Penalty Area

"Hu Lai dared to say that he won the game. He really swelled up like this after scoring a few goals in the Premier League... Can the performance of the Premier League also be judged by the national team? He doesn't know what level the Chinese team is. ?”

"That's right, besides, his performance in Leeds City also benefited from the fact that the Premier League team is not familiar enough with him, so he took advantage of the loophole..."

"Isn't it just scoring a few goals in the Premier League? The Chinese are regarded as treasures. It's really pitiful. Our captain once won the Europa League championship. Are we proud?"

"Didn't you find out what he said? He said that he and Captain Park are both in the Premier League to win glory for Asian football... Pooh! He has the nerve to say it? Just rub against our Captain Park, hard rub! He is trying to put himself out In the same position as Captain Park, he is also worthy?!"

In the restaurant of the hotel where they are staying, the players of the South Korean team are having a meal. This is the last meal they can enjoy. By this time tomorrow night, they are already warming up and preparing for the game at the Provincial Sports Center in Jincheng.

The players gathered in twos and threes, eating and chatting with their familiar teammates.

The topic of conversation is basically about the opponent in the next game.

There was frivolity in the conversation between the two tables, and there was laughter from time to time.

But when Park Chun-tae, Cui Xuanhong, and Liu Mingyuan, the captains and vice-captains of the three teams, stood between their two tables, the chatting and laughing stopped abruptly.

"What are you talking about so happily, let us listen too?" Pu Chuntai, who was in the middle of the three, said with a straight face.

The young international players at the two tables stood up from their seats hurriedly when they saw the battle. The chairs were bumped and rattled non-stop, attracting curious eyes from other teammates in the distance.

Seeing this situation, they knew that someone was going to be unlucky...

The young international players shrank their necks and lowered their heads, no one dared to speak.

Pu Chuntai named one of them: "Park Guixian, what are you talking about?"

Park Guixian, whose name was called out, felt bitter: I didn't say anything, I just listened beside...

But now is obviously not the time to defend himself. In fact, he also knows that the captains have heard what they said before, so the smartest thing to do is to admit the mistake quickly, even if the mistake is not made by himself.

Thinking of this, Park Guixian lowered his head and said, "Report to the captain, we are wrong!"

"Where is it wrong?" Pu Chuntai asked.

"We shouldn't look down on our opponents!" Park Guixian said loudly, afraid that if the captain said "I can't hear you" in a low voice, he would be slapped on the back of the head by the two vice-captains who surrounded him-he had already caught a glimpse of the vice-captains eager to try. look.

"Respecting your opponent means respecting yourself." Park Chun-tae said seriously to a group of young players who lowered their heads, "You must keep this in mind, otherwise the whole team will be unlucky with you on the court, do you understand?"

"Understood, Captain!"

"Captain, I understand!"

As soon as the young people's uneven answers were spoken, many of them immediately shrank their necks.

Sure enough, the slaps of the two vice-captains followed suit, crackling on the back of their heads.

"Speak up! Didn't you eat?!"

"This is how you talk to seniors?!"

A group of young people had no choice but to stand straight in front of the three captains amid the low laughter of other players, and shouted loudly in unison again, even to the point of exhaustion: "Yes, captain! We understand!!!"

Seeing this, Pu Chuntai nodded lightly: "Continue to eat."

After speaking, he turned around and left with the two deputy captains.

After they had gone a long way, the young international players dared to sit down, ate in silence with their heads down, and stopped discussing the topic of Hu Lai and the Chinese team.

"Axiba! It's unlucky to be caught by the captain and the others!"

Back in the room, Park Guixian's roommate Xu Jiongde first let out a sigh of relief, and then expressed his inner complaints.

Park Guixian sighed: "What kind of unlucky are you? I'm really unlucky, okay? I didn't say a word at all, I was just listening to you, but Senior Park called me out..."

Hearing what he said, Xu Jiongde laughed happily: "Haha, who called you 'little Pu Chuntai'? Senior Park will naturally pay attention to you. Actually, this is a good thing, Guixian. The younger generation who can catch the eyes of Senior Park Not much."

Park Guixian threw himself on the hotel mattress and felt the slight shaking of the mattress, which brought him some bad memories and made his body reject. So he sat up from the bed almost immediately, and Xu Jiongde asked, "What's wrong?"

"Uh, no... I don't know who gave me the nickname 'Xiao Pu Chuntai'. I don't want to start my career with such a name... It's a lot of pressure, okay?" Park Guixian remained calm Continued the topic just now without Xu Jiongde noticing the strangeness.

He has never told anyone about the reason for his bad impression of the city of Jincheng.

"You really don't have backache when you stand and talk. I'd rather be under such pressure, at least it shows that I have a bright future." Xu Jiongde curled his lips, and then changed his tone and said, "Hey, Gui Xian, do you know? It is said that you will be here Let’s start tomorrow’s match!”

Pu Guixian glanced at him, and kept his words tight: "What nonsense are you talking about? Senior Park is here, so it's my turn to start?"

"Oh, it's not like you don't know what happened to Senior Park two days ago..."

"Didn't you just talk about rumors? Senior Park was just too tired for a while and fell into a deep sleep." Pu Chuntai still didn't change his face, and didn't let out a word.

"Of course this kind of thing should be rumored to the outside world, but what happened to Senior Park, only he himself knows..." Xu Jiongde shrugged his shoulders, his tone of respect for Park Chuntai was not deep. "Besides, Senior Park is not just about that matter, his injury should not be healed yet... So, Gui Xian, you will definitely be able to start this time. This is your opportunity, you must seize it. !"

Park Guixian said with his mouth: "Why is there no chance? I just try my best every time I play... Ha!"

As soon as the words fell, he couldn't hold back his laughter.

He has waited for this opportunity for a long time. He originally thought that after the Korean team qualified ahead of schedule, he would get enough playing time in the last two games, and it might not be impossible for him to even start.

As a result, at this time, there was a bolt from the blue—Senior Pu Chuntai volunteered to come back to play this match!

Now that the senior is back, is there still a chance for him to start?

Pu Guixian didn't dare to think about it anymore, he only hoped that the boss could save some soup for himself after eating the meat - don't play the whole game, at least let him come off the bench to play for ten or twenty minutes in the second half.

In the end, there was a turn of events. Senior Pu Chuntai unexpectedly had an accident on the plane returning to participate in the competition, and was directly pulled from the plane by an ambulance to the hospital. For a while, various rumors arose from the outside world.

In such a situation, both the physical condition of senior Park Chuntai and the competitive state must be greatly affected.

So his chance to start was "resurrected" again.

Although he maintained sufficient respect for senior Pu Chuntai just now, from the two days of training, he can actually see that he has a great chance to start the game against the Chinese team tomorrow.

Judging from the people recruited by the head coach this time, it can also be guessed that coach Yang Zhongxun is inspecting talents for the next World Cup finals.

If you want to get more opportunities in next year's World Cup finals, you must perform well from now on to impress the head coach.

This time he flew with the team from Seoul, South Korea to Jincheng, and it went very smoothly.

There were no thunderstorms, no violent jolts, and he didn't spill orange juice on his pants, let alone drink what he spit out...

In short, he landed from the sky smoothly and arrived at the hotel by car without any messy accidents.

After arriving at the hotel, there was no earthquake.

This seemed to bode well for something.

The last time he came here, following the club team, he and his teammates were physically and mentally exhausted after a series of accidents.

On the day of the game, there was also a sudden downpour, and finally lost 0:3.

Now that he has changed his identity, he has returned to his hometown as a member of the Republic of Korea national team. The teammates around him are stronger. He himself has been training hard for more than a year and trying to improve himself. I believe that he will be able to wash away the painful memories in this city. Clean up!

In the hotel gym, Park Chun-tae is doing physical training accompanied by the team doctor of the national team, Kim Byung-joon.

Looking at Park Chun-tae, who was sweating profusely on the treadmill, Jin Bingjun advised: "You are working too hard, Chun-tae. There is still a competition tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow... I won't... start, no, it doesn't matter..." Pu Chuntai said while striding on the treadmill, panting heavily.

Every step he ran, he carefully felt the nuances of the muscles in his right calf in his heart.

It is still a little different from the normal situation, and the force is not enough. But he didn't know whether it was the effect of the injury or his psychology.

After speeding up for a while, he slowed down, adjusted his breath, and asked Jin Bingjun, "Doctor Jin, is this really a minor injury?"

Jin Bingjun froze for a moment before laughing, "Of course."

Pu Chuntai nodded, shaking off a few drops of sweat from his face: "That's good!"

Upon seeing this, Jin Bingjun said: "Don't worry, Chuntai. It will definitely not affect your return to the club to participate in the Champions League."

Pu Chuntai nodded, but didn't explain to Jin Bingjun that he didn't think about the Champions League at all.

He is thinking about tomorrow's game.

Judging from the idle looks of those young people, he was a little worried.

For this reason, he must keep his body in the best condition, be able to play at any time, and quickly enter the rhythm of the game.

He hoped he was thinking too much.
