Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 127 Pendulum

Glancing at the 3:0 score in the upper right corner of the TV, Xie Lan picked up his mobile phone and decided to pay attention to the situation of another group match that was going on at the same time.

The reason for one game, not two, is because, as Yan Kang said just now, no matter how the match between Saudi Arabia and the UAE is played, it will not affect the Chinese team.

As long as the Chinese team can beat Qatar in the away game, even if Saudi Arabia wins the UAE by ten goals, it is just a dying struggle.

She cares more about Australia's home game against South Korea.

Because after seeing the score of the Chinese team, she suddenly realized that if Australia lost to the South Korean team, the Chinese team might still have a chance to directly win the World Cup as the second place in the group...

But as soon as she opened the webpage, she cursed: "Day!"

Hearing her words, Hu Lixin clicked his tongue: "You should pay attention to your image..."

"Besides me and you in this room, what image do I pay attention to?" Xie Lan replied, and then cursed again: "You shit!"

Hu Lixin knew why Xie Lan was swearing. In all likelihood, Australia was leading the South Korean team.

He also took a look, and sure enough, Australia led South Korea 1-0 at home.

If this score is followed, Australia and South Korea will share 18 points and qualify together.

The Chinese team can only participate in the play-offs as the third in the group.

Hu Lixin comforted his wife: "It's enough to get the third place in the group. Originally, we couldn't even get the third place in the group... Besides, it's normal for the Korean team to qualify early and send more substitutes and young players. It's not intentional." To lose to Australia."

"The South Korean team even started that Park Gui-hyun, and said they didn't want to lose to Australia on purpose... That Park Gui-hyun played so badly against us in the last game, he was replaced in the opening 20 minutes. To be able to start... If he is not the illegitimate son of the head coach of the South Korean team, then the South Korean team deliberately let the water go!" Xie Lan plausible, and it sounds quite reasonable.

Hu Lixin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What, he didn't perform well in the last game, but it doesn't mean he didn't perform well in this game... After all, he is the best among young Korean players. If he is not allowed to start, who else can start? Park Chun-tae I have left the team and returned to London Bridge..."

Before Hu Lixin finished speaking, Xie Lan suddenly said in surprise: "Huh? Park Guixian has been replaced!"

Hu Lixin took advantage of the situation and said: "So you see,

The South Korean team doesn't want to lose to Australia in the away game..."

Xie Lan was straightforward: "Whoever called them sticks, of course I have to think about it, they have criminal records!"

※※※

Park Guixian walked off the court, briefly shook hands with head coach Yang Zhongxun, then walked back to the bench with his head down.

After sitting down, he still lowered his head, fully interpreting what it means to be "downcast".

In this game, he got another chance to start. He originally held back his energy and wanted to prove himself in the game and reverse the bad impression he left on the head coach in the last game.

In the end, I don't know what went wrong, he just couldn't play his normal level.

With his performance in the club, he feels that he should not be so miserable in the national team...

What went wrong?

Why am I inferior to Hu Lai in the national team?

He thought of his old enemy.

He scored twice in the last game, what about this game?

Thinking of this, he asked his teammate Xu Jiongde: "What's the situation with the Chinese team?"

The teammates were surprised that Park Guixian would care about the Chinese team for the first time after being replaced. It has nothing to do with us how the Chinese team plays.

"Don't you know?" Park Guixian frowned.

"No... I heard that the Chinese team has already led Qatar by three goals." Xu Jiongde said hastily after recovering.

"Leading by three goals..." Park Guixian's face became ugly, "Where's Hu Lai?"

"He...uh, scored twice..."

Scored twice in two consecutive games!

And he was replaced early in two consecutive games!

Park Guixian's mentality collapsed.

※※※

Hu Lai didn't know that in far away Australia, someone had lost his mentality because he scored twice in two consecutive games. Now he doesn't feel that his scoring twice is so great, because he hasn't completed the system. Task.

Two consecutive national team games consume a lot of points, and he urgently needs to complete tasks to replenish points.

Because if the Chinese team successfully gets the third place in the group, there will be play-offs to play after that, and the opponents in the play-offs are also not easy to mess with. He also needs to exchange points for props.

He told Director Shi before that the team puts the overall situation first, and it doesn't matter whether the Qatari fans can get a standing ovation for him.

But now that the team is leading by three goals, Hu Lai is worried about gains and losses again—he is still reluctant to part with the 200,000 points!

No, I will continue to score goals!

[Powerful Charm Essence Emulsion] has been used, the only condition to complete the task should be to score goals!

Hou Lai was furious, and he turned his head to look at Qatar's goal.

But the Qatar goalkeeper who was standing well in front of the goal suddenly shivered, and a sense of crisis came to his mind.

He cast his gaze forward suspiciously, but saw nothing strange.

※※※

The morale of the Qatari players has fallen to the bottom after falling behind by three goals. After the game restarts, everyone can clearly find that the Qatari players are fighting on their own.

The striker only cares about attacking, and doesn't come back when he goes up.

The defenders resolutely refused to press because they were afraid of losing the ball.

So Qatar's front-to-back disconnection is very serious.

In this regard, the head coach of the Qatar national team was furious on the sidelines. He kept waving his arms and yelling to let Qatar's defense press up and participate in the attack.

They are all three goals behind, and they are still so conservative, then there is really no hope at all.

Now come out in full force, attack with all your strength, maybe there is a chance to come back...

Although it is difficult to come back after falling behind by three goals, you still have to give the fans some explanations on the scene, right?

You can lose, but you must never surrender early.

In his roar, Qatar's back line finally pressed up with the offensive.

With the help of the back line, Qatar's offense does look more threatening...

But it only looks threatening.

There are only a handful of offenses that can really create a threat.

Instead, the Chinese team took advantage of Qatar's opportunity to attack, and the continuous counterattacks were more threatening.

"Luo Kai...a long shot——!! Ah! What a pity! It hit the crossbar! The ball was so powerful that the Qatar goalkeeper basically gave up on the save, but he didn't expect the football to be ruthlessly thrown by the crossbar. Keep it out!"

"The Chinese team is here again, another quick counterattack! Chen Xingyi's shot went slightly wide..."

As the Chinese team used counterattacks again and again, the Qatari fans were terrified, and the Chinese fans in front of the TV gradually relaxed. They have begun to look forward to the World Cup qualifier play-offs and understand that the Chinese team will meet in the play-offs. opponent.

For the game itself, everyone didn't take it too seriously.

Now that the whole game has been played for 70 minutes, with 20 minutes left, it is almost impossible for Qatar to chase three goals in a row.

Seeing this, Shi Wuyin also began to let more players warm up and prepare for substitutions and adjustments.

"You want to replace Hu Lai?" Assistant coach Li Zhifei saw the team's forward Gao Chen being called to warm up, so he knew what Shi Wuyin wanted to do.

Shi Wuyin nodded: "Yes. He will fly back to participate in the Premier League game next time. It is better to replace him earlier so that he can rest more."

Hu Lai flew tens of thousands of kilometers back this time and scored four goals in two games, which is the biggest contributor to the Chinese team's ability to get third in the group.

He has done his best for the national team. As the head coach of the national team, he must be considerate of him.

"But...he said before the game that he would get the Qatari fans to give him a standing ovation. You just replaced him, isn't that..."

Shi Wuyin turned to look at Li Zhifei: "Old Li, do you really believe that Qatari fans will give Hu Lai a standing ovation?"

"What... what if?" Li Zhifei didn't say anything dead, he really had something on his mind.

"Don't think about it, there is no chance. The Qatari fans are now in a panic. It's too late to hate Hu Lai. How can they stand up and applaud him? That matter... just let Hou Lai learn a lesson. Some words really can't be done. Nonsense. Besides, we won the game, who cares whether the Qatari fans gave Hou Lai a standing ovation... I believe that Hou Lai doesn't care either."

Hearing Shi Wuyin's words, Li Zhifei frowned and stopped talking.

He knew that Shi Wuzhen was right, he was thinking too much.

※※※

"It seems really unlikely..." Xie Lan saw the national team striker Gao Chen being called to warm up suddenly. As an old fan, she naturally understood what this meant.

If Gao Chen was to be substituted, then his son Hu Lai, who might overlap with him, would have to be substituted.

"Are you really thinking about it?" Hu Lixin asked in surprise.

"Why can't you think about it? What if the collective brains of the Qatari fans twitch?"

"Hey..." Hu Lixin rolled his eyes, "Listen to what you said, can it happen?"

Of course, Xie Lan also knew that it was impossible. Although the team's victory should have no suspense, but his son would be the butt of a joke, which still made Xie Lan feel a little pimple.

The game suddenly became an imperfect victory.

"Relax, normal heart. Can't our son take up all the good things?" Hu Lixin knew that his wife couldn't think about it for a while, so he enlightened her.

While the two were talking, they saw the Chinese team attack again on the TV screen. When they advanced to the frontcourt, Qatar chose to make an offside as a defensive countermeasure.

As a result, when Zhang Qinghuan made a through pass, Hu Lai happened to be offside!

"Eh? Eh! Eh! Not offside!" He Feng was startled at first, and then shouted excitedly, "Hu Lai is not offside! He received the ball behind all the Qatari defenders!"

Xie Lan and Hu Lixin didn't bother to discuss whether their son could get the Qatari fans to give him a standing ovation. They were so engrossed in the TV that they didn't dare to take a breath.

※※※

When Hou Lai received the ball, there was a burst of boos in the air above the court.

But the intensity of the boos was still much smaller than when the game just started.

Maybe Hu Lai himself didn't notice the subtle changes, but such changes did happen.

Anyone who is familiar with Hu Lai feels "steady" when he sees him receiving the ball behind the opponent's defense.

For a forward with superb shooting skills like Hu Lai, this kind of opportunity is as good as being given for nothing!

But everyone soon discovered that Hu Lai didn't shoot the goal immediately, but dribbled the ball to the penalty area!

At the same time, Qatar's goalkeeper also rushed out, trying to compress Hou Lai's shot angle!

"Shoot! What are you waiting for?!"

Seeing this scene, anxious people couldn't help shouting.

But more people were speechless due to the sudden nervousness, and just stared at the figure that entered the penalty area.

Under their watchful eyes, Hu Lai's left shoulder suddenly sank, as if he was about to break through to the left and pass the goalkeeper.

Seeing this, the Qatar goalkeeper immediately sank to that side.

But he soon saw that Hu Lai's foot didn't touch the football, but just feinted behind the football!

Immediately afterwards, he dropped his shoulders to the right again!

Fake action! Going to the left is a feint!

The Qatar goalkeeper was glad that he was a little slow to react just now...he immediately turned around and went back.

But Hu Lai's move was still a fake move! His right foot didn't even hit the football, it just stepped next to it!

"this is……"

Seeing this, Shi Wuyin on the sidelines widened his eyes. He suddenly remembered that familiar scene...

In the U23 Asian Cup final, when Hu Lai faced the goalkeeper of the Japanese Olympic team alone, he also planned to do the same.

As a result, he lost his balance and fell to the ground. He tricked the opponent's goalkeeper by mistake and hit the football instead.

But that was a lucky trick... You can't expect to do it again, can you? !

※※※

Hu Lai gritted his teeth and put his right foot next to the football, but missed the ball.

He felt the strength of his knee and thigh muscles supporting his body for two consecutive weight shifts.

This is completely different from his feeling when he did this action in the U23 Asian Cup final last time.

That's the benefit of strengthening your core!

Hu Lai suddenly had the confidence to complete the real pendulum, so his center of gravity deflected to the left again.

At this time, the Qatar goalkeeper's center of gravity was already extremely unstable. Seeing that Hu Lai went to the left again, he had no other choice, so he fell to the ground and rushed over - because if he didn't make the jump, his body would lose support and balance, and the cause would be Sit down on the ground, so that Hu Lai can't stop whether he goes to the left or the right, so it's better to gamble on one side!

Just when he fell to the ground, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the tip of Hu Lai's right foot gently flipping the football to the right...

Already falling to the left, he could only stretch his legs as far as possible, hoping to interfere with Hu Lai.

But this is nothing more than a dying struggle.

After throwing the football away, Hu Lai jumped over the opponent's feet lightly!

※※※

"The pendulum is amazing!! Wow!! Hu Lai!! He used the pendulum to beat the goalkeeper of Qatar!!"

He Feng roared hoarsely.

There is no suspense about the rest!

After passing the ball, Zhang Qinghuan, who entered into the drama mode, opened his mouth unconsciously. He watched Hu Lai catch up with the football he had slid past, and then calmly pushed and shot.

The soccer ball raced across the turf until... caught in the rope net in the goal.

This kid...

He stood there blankly, forgetting to go up to Hu Lai to celebrate the goal immediately.

"Hat-trick! Hat-trick!! Hou Lai completed his first hat-trick in the World Cup qualifiers with a pendulum!!!"

When Hou Lai performed his trademark celebration for the third time, this time there were no boos from the stadium stands, but... silence.
