Fox in the Penalty Area

"...Although the farewell ceremony has been held at the Pirates Park Stadium, Maxy Carey has not announced which team he will go to next. At the same time, Insublei, who has been rumored to be a certainty before, has not moved

...that's all aroused controversy. And just this morning, Maxi Carey's social media suddenly updated with the latest developments. It was just a picture without saying anything, but this picture was... the team logo of Leeds City!

"Immediately afterwards, the Leeds City Club officially announced that they had signed an agreement with Dutch superstar Maxi Carey. Carey joined the team as a free agent. The contract period is 2+1-after two years, the two parties can renew the contract for another In 2019... This official announcement shocked many people, because they had never heard that Leeds City was interested in Maxy Carey before—their head coach Tony Clark appeared on the scene of the Champions League final, but everyone thought He was going to support Hu Lai. Unexpectedly, he was investigating Maxi Carey!

"The joining of Maxi Carey has made many Leeds City fans ecstatic. For the club to sign a superstar, this not only proves the ambition of the club, but also proves the current attractiveness and influence of Leeds City... "

"Fuck, Hu Lai, your hometown has been stolen!"

When the Chinese national team players were having breakfast in the hotel, Chen Xingyi exclaimed.

Hu Lai gave him a blank look: "How do you talk? It's obvious that Elbow Man's house was stolen."

Zhou Zijing, who was eating an apple, swallowed the pulp in his mouth: "None of my business!"

Someone is very gossip:

"Hey Hulai, didn't you know that Carey would go to Leeds?"

Hu Lai shook his head: "I don't know. We all thought he must be going to Insublei..."

"Kerry went to Leeds...Zhou Zijing, your position is dangerous!" Someone yelled in Zhou Zijing's direction.

Before Zhou Zijing could speak, Zhang Qinghuan shook his head: "No way. Even if Carey went to Leeds City, he should not be playing forward, but retreating to play midfielder. Leeds City's offensive organization has always been mainly relying on William. Williams, Williams is an excellent b2b player, but in terms of the fineness of the offensive organization, he is still almost there. After Kyrie goes, he can help Williams share the work of organizing the offense. So Kyrie went to Leeds City, Not only will it not threaten Zhou Zijing, but it is also a good thing for Zhou Zijing, after all, there is an extra cake feeder."

Hu Lai said, "Will you spit out Kaili's pancakes then: 'Bah! I don't want to eat anything I've come here for!'?"

Everyone roared with laughter.

Zhou Zijing glared at him: "I'm not stupid!"

In the just-concluded Premier League season, Zhou Zijing scored seven league goals, one goal in the League Cup, two goals in the FA Cup, and exactly ten club goals, hitting double figures.

With Hu Lai's successful experience ahead, Zhou Zijing's statistics seem to be completely insufficient.

But aside from Hu Lai's "non-human" data, Zhou Zijing's report card is very impressive.

After all, in addition to ten goals, he also has six assists in all competitions-in terms of assist data, he has already exploded Hu Lai this season.

The latter has just three assists in all competitions this season...

After Carey joins, if he can feed Zhou Zijing the same way he gave assists to Hu Lai, then Zhou Zijing will definitely be the biggest winner of this transfer deal.

"However... I still don't understand why Carey chose Leeds City... Since Soubre can play in the Champions League, what does Leeds have? The Europa League...ah, I don't look down on the Europa League." The people who saw Zhang Qinghuan and Zhou Zijing hurriedly added.

Both of these guys are going to play in the Europa League next season.

"Could it be Kaili and you exchanging one-on-one, Hu Lai?" Chen Xingyi touched Hu Lai's arm.

"What does it have to do with me?" Hu Lai spread his hands.

"You came to the pirates from Leeds to carry out a sneak attack, so he went to attack Leeds." Chen Xingyi analyzed. "Maybe he went to Leeds City just to conquer the fans there and make them forget you?"

"Good guy, then Zhou Zijing was the first to refuse!" Wang Guangwei said beside him.

Everyone laughed.

Everyone knows that Luo Kai and Zhou Zijing have some kind of "hostility" towards Hu Lai, but this "hostility" is completely different from the previous player-to-player hatred.

Now this kind of "hostility" is more like a sense of competition and competitiveness.

Whether it is Zhou Zijing or Luo Kai, if they want to defeat Hu Lai and replace Hu Lai, there is no problem.

After all, they just wanted to defeat Hu Lai, and before... they really wanted to kick their competitors' legs off.

Happy laughter circulated in the hotel restaurant.

Even the restaurant staff frequently cast their eyes on the national football players-although the staff in these UAE hotels cannot hear what the Chinese players are talking about, they can feel their mood from their laughter.

How could these people be smiling so much if they weren't very relaxed?

The Chinese players are indeed very relaxed, even though tomorrow night is the key match against Syria in the top 12 match.

Everyone is not nervous.

With the current strength of the Chinese team, even if it is an away game, there is no need to worry about facing a team of Syria's level.

The Chinese team only needs to beat Syria tomorrow night, so no matter what the result of the match between the Japanese team and the Iranian team is, they will win tickets to the finals of the 2030 World Cup in Spain and Portugal in advance.

Qualifying for the World Cup finals two rounds ahead of schedule is an unprecedented experience for Chinese football.

In the last World Cup, they played all the play-offs until the last moment before they broke through.

Now they are just strolling in the courtyard, chatting and laughing and will qualify ahead of schedule.

What has changed is not only the results of the Chinese team, but also the mentality of the Chinese team players.

If it was the former group of players, before this important game, nine times out of ten they couldn't sleep well. Coupled with the fact that the coaching staff and team leaders take turns to find them for meetings and do ideological work... It's just making things worse. After playing, I'm afraid they won't even be able to perform at half of their usual training level.

The current national football team has no such problem at all.

While everyone was teasing and joking with each other, breakfast time passed.

※※※

"Chen Xingyi! Break through! Send a cross...Zhou Zijing! Header!! Oops! It's a little higher!"

He Feng was taken aback for a while, but in fact, the mentality of the Chinese fans was relatively peaceful, and they didn't follow the roller coaster.

If this goal is not scored, it is not scored. Anyway, judging from the scene, the Chinese team has completely gained the upper hand, and there will definitely be a possibility of scoring in the future.

What?

You say you can't score points?

Ha, that's impossible!

In today's Chinese team, how could such a thing happen?

We have Hu Lai!

No one on this planet is better at grasping opportunities than him!

Everyone feels at ease because there is Hu Lai in his pocket.

Fighting Syria, still need to be nervous?

nonexistent!

He Feng also quickly said in a calm tone: "The game has started for 22 minutes. Although the score is still 0:0, the Chinese team has already had four shots and their ball possession rate is as high as 61%. It can be said that the overall advantage... I think as long as we continue to play according to this rhythm, goals will come sooner or later..."

Yan Kang echoed: "That's right, He Feng. The mentality of the national football team is very good now, and they are not in a hurry. Although Syria has a bus at their home court, they are also playing very patiently. Eight of the starting XI They are all players who have studied abroad in Europe, and almost all of them have experience in European competitions... This season, four of them have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, not to mention Hu Lai who just won the Champions League... This Chinese team It's getting more mature, I think it's already at the top of the Asian level..."

Yan Kang is not afraid of losing his character by saying this.

This is also a manifestation of confidence - to fight against Syria in the top 12, but also to save character?

※※※

It seems to be to prove that everyone's confidence in the Chinese team is right.

In the 34th minute of the game, Luo Kai cut from the wing to the center, and after attracting the attention of two Syrian defenders, he passed the football back into the penalty area.

After receiving Luo Kai's pass, Hu Lai, who ran diagonally and ran around, took a direct shot from a small angle!

The Syrian goalkeeper fell to the ground reflexively, trying to block the football with his feet.

He did kick the ball, but he didn't block the ball from the baseline, but... blocked it into his own goal!

1:0!

The Chinese team leads!

"Beautiful! Hu Lai! Beautiful! Ha! Look, isn't this goal coming?" He Feng said in a very Versailles tone. "Even if Syria chooses to play the bus tactics, it is still useless under the three-dimensional offensive of the Chinese team... The key is that we have a very efficient striker! If you are capable, don't give Hu Lai a chance throughout the game, otherwise you will lose Just wait to get the ball out of the net!"

※※※

Hu Lai's goal helped the Chinese team completely knock on the door of Syria. Syria, which originally chose to stick to it, was no longer able to stick to it because of its lagging score.

In fact, they have completely missed the World Cup finals - after the seven rounds of the top 12, although they ranked fourth, it is not bad in terms of ranking, but they only have four points, which is less than the third place Iran After scoring a full ten points, it is impossible to compete for the qualification for the play-offs.

For them, this game is just a battle of honor.

Not to win the right to qualify for the World Cup.

Since it is no longer possible to defend to the death, then simply let go of the burden and attack out!

Then they conceded again in the 44th, 59th and 73rd minutes.

The scorers were Zhou Zijing, Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Xingyi.

Hu Lai?

He was replaced in the 61st minute, ending his entire 2028-2029 season.

According to the statistics of the Chinese media - counting the 13 goals of the Olympic team, he has scored a total of 108 goals in all competitions this season, setting a record.

Of course, according to the statistical methods of the European media, excluding the 13 goals of the Olympic team, Hu Lai scored a total of 95 goals this season, which is also a record.

When Chen Xingyi scored a goal, Hu Lai was the "atmosphere team member" who waved towels with other teammates on the bench to celebrate.

"4:0! The game is over! Don't wait for tomorrow's match between Japan and Iran. The Chinese team has already won the ticket for next year's World Cup in Spain and Portugal!" He Feng said happily.

"The World Cup is here again! Just like what I said after we played the last World Cup group match three years ago, I believe that we will definitely be able to appear in the World Cup finals four years later! Three Years ago, we made an agreement with everyone, and we will see you at the World Cup in Spain and Portugal. Now we keep our promise and come to this four-year appointment again! But this time, I think it should be a little different!"
