Fox in the Penalty Area

"Hu Lai kept kicking the ball and scored!! Hu Lai! He opened the scoring for the Chinese Olympic team! Twenty-one minutes into the game, the Olympic team took the lead!"

"Melli! Oops! In the 37th minute, Argentina equalized the score, and the goal was...Melli Banega!"

"Melli...Melli! Melli is here again! He dribbled horizontally, passed many defensive players in front of the Olympic team's penalty area, and then shot! The football flew into the Olympic team's goal again..."

"The steal was successful! Guo Junfu grabbed the ball from Melli! The Olympic team counterattacked! Chen Xingyi went up...passed into the penalty area! Hu Lai shot...a dunk! Beautiful! Hu Lai!!! Hu Lai!!!" ! Clean and crisp!! He also scored twice!! Equalized the score for the Olympic team!!!"

"Beautiful! So beautiful! Beautiful buckle! Beautiful cum! Beautiful!!!"

Before the start of the semifinals, there were only two Chinese commentators, He Feng and Yan Kang, roaring at the top of their lungs in the locker room of Sequoia Sports Park, and there was no other sound.

The players of the Chinese Olympic team are sitting in their seats at this moment, looking at the TV screen fixed on the wall.

What is being played there is an Olympic game from four years ago.

Their seniors faced the Argentine Olympic team led by Mellie Banega.

The two teams are playing a close game.

But everyone knows what will happen next.

The picture on the TV screen changed, and Melli was picking up the ball on the wing.

Chen Xingyi was chasing after him.

Soon another player from the Olympic team, Li Chengwu, rushed over from the middle and followed Meili while running and squeezing with his body, which was very aggressive.

It was under his constant impact that Melli made a mistake while dribbling the ball, and Chen Xingyi, who was following him, intercepted the ball at the right time!

"Chen Xingyi! Beautiful steal! With a few minutes left in the game, this successful steal is a great morale booster!"

Chen Xingyi then stabbed the football to Gao Ruimin immediately. Even though he collided with a player of the Argentine Olympic team and fell to the ground after stabbing the ball, he did not hesitate at all.

After receiving the ball, Gao Ruimin made a slight adjustment and passed the football forward.

It was given to Luo Kai, who had already started sprinting ahead of time.

"Gao Ruimin looks for Luo Kai with a long pass! The Olympic team still wants to counterattack!"

Luo Kai received the ball and used his speed and dexterity to continuously change directions, break into the Argentina Olympic team's penalty area, and then send an inverted triangle pass.

"Inverted triangle pass Hu Lai!!!"

In the midst of He Feng's voice-breaking roar, Hu Lai rushed in and hit the flying football with a brilliant volley!

"Hu Lai!!! Beautiful!! Beautiful! So beautiful!! Killer!!!"

Although everyone present already knew the final result of this game, and also knew how the Olympic team defeated the Argentine Olympic team in the end.

But when they relived this winning goal, many people still couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Others secretly cast their admiring eyes on Hu Lai.

The key figures in creating this great miracle are beside them and will fight side by side with them!

Thinking of this, many of the players were full of confidence.

The pause button was pressed on the video, and all the noise and the commentator's roars came to an abrupt end.

Head coach Mai Zhaocheng stood in front of his players, looked at them and said: "How was it? Did Hu Lai's last goal make your blood boil?"

Many people in the locker room nodded in response to their head coach: "Yes, Coach Mai!"

Others loudly complimented Hu Lai: "Brother Hu is awesome!"

Mai Zhaocheng grinned: "Yes, Hu Lai is really awesome."

What he said caused a burst of laughter in the locker room. It was indeed a bit joyful for a head coach to praise his players for their awesomeness.

But he quickly changed the subject: "But you have to know that before Hu Lai scored, it was Chen Xingyi who intercepted the ball, and it was Li Chengwu who helped Chen Xingyi intercept the ball. Pass the football to the front in time. The person who scored the goal was Gao Ruimin, and the person who assisted Hu Lai in scoring was Luo Kai. Do you know what this means?"

Here Mai Zhaocheng paused for a moment. He didn't really want the players to answer, but to guide them to think.

Mai Zhaocheng continued: "Before Hu Lai scored, after the efforts of so many people, the football was finally passed to Hu Lai. It seemed that Hu Lai scored the winner against Argentina, but in fact the ball was scored by Li Chengwu and Chen Xingyi. , Gao Ruimin, Luo Kai and Hu Lai, they together defeated Argentina. In addition, before this goal, Lin Zhiyuan had saved a very beautiful free kick by Melly, laying the foundation for the final victory and providing condition……"

Hearing the head coach say this, Lin Zhiyuan straightened up in his seat, raised his chest and raised his head, feeling proud.

"In the 3:2 victory over Argentina, Hulay scored three goals and was the biggest contributor. But every Olympic team player behind him is also a contributor. If they hadn't worked hard to defend Argentina in the backcourt, In this attack, if they hadn't passed the football to Hu Lai...this miraculous victory would not have existed. After this game, both the media and the fans easily focused on Hu Lai alone, but ignored He eliminated the remaining players of the Olympic team. In fact, the Olympic team was able to defeat Argentina at that time, relying on the overall strength, and definitely not the performance of any one person...Am I right, Hu Lai? "

Mai Zhaocheng kicked the "ball" to Hu Lai here.

Hu Lai nodded and said: "Coach Mai is right. I am just a forward who can score goals. If I don't have teammates passing the ball to me, then I am nothing. If my teammates can't keep the goal, It doesn’t matter how many goals I score. It was like that in that game and it’s like this game today.”

Mai Zhaocheng was very satisfied with Hu Lai's answer. He took up the conversation and continued: "After eliminating Spain, we have created the best results of Chinese football in the Olympics. Every next step, we will create history." . But this history was not created by one person, it was created by all of us, the Chinese Olympic team. Today we are here to compete with Argentina for qualification for the finals, and it definitely does not rely on one person, but on all of us! "

He raised his hand and crossed every Olympic team player in front of him.

Then he waved his hand and made a "gathering" movement.

“When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!”

※※※

The boys of the Olympic team rushed out of the locker room screaming.

Team leader Ran Jiachang looked at head coach Mai Zhaocheng with a smile on his face.

However, Mai Zhaocheng asked him: "How was it? How was my performance on the spot just now?"

Ran Jiachang gave him a thumbs up: "Awesome! Showing them the video highlights of that game before the game was really a stroke of genius. I originally thought you would hold a special meeting to tell everyone about this last night."

Mai Zhaocheng shook his head: "Even if they were very excited at the time, they would have cooled down after a night's sleep. Isn't that what the song says? 'Hurry up and make the fire red, and strike while the iron is hot to succeed'!"

Ran Jiachang said with emotion: "Now the fire is burning..."

"Come out, come out!"

In front of the TV, Yan Yan, Chu Yifan, Meng Xi, Mao Xiao, etc. It turned out that the players of the Dongchuan Middle School football team saw the players of the Olympic team and Argentina coming out of the tunnel, and someone shouted excitedly. .

Yan Yan was keenly aware of the strangeness around him. He turned his head and glanced, and then said in surprise: "Hey, big clock, why are you trembling?"

"You're nervous!" Zhong Shihao glared at him, "Aren't you nervous?"

Chu Yifan smiled beside him and said, "He's really not nervous, Dazhong. Have you forgotten who he is?"

"My day..." Zhong Shihao came back to his senses.

Yan Yan laughed loudly: "Comrades, you can always believe in Hu Lai at any time! He is the chosen one!"

In fact, Yan Yan is not always able to bet correctly. For example, in the Champions League semi-finals last season, he "stumbled". Before the game, it was predicted that Hu Lai would definitely defeat Melli, but he was reversed and eliminated by Melli at home.

But this did not affect Yan Yan, a "fanatic believer", in his belief in Hu Lai.

He also invented another theory for this, that is, no matter whether Hu Lai wins or not, even if he loses, he must unswervingly believe in Hu Lai and stand by him next time, because this is "Political correctness"...

"You must not only believe in Hu Lai, but also believe in other people, believe in Xiaoyu, believe in Brother Huan, believe in Zhou Zijing, believe in Lin Zhiyuan... believe in other people on the Olympic team." Chu Yifan said, "If they don't do their best, , Hu Lai can’t carry him alone.”

This game kicked off at four o'clock in the morning on Friday in China. Although they still had to go to work, they still gathered at Team Chu's home to cheer for the juniors. In addition to Hu Lai, Xia Xiaoyu was also their former teammate.

The living room of the small house was crowded with people, and everyone was staring at the TV screen excitedly and nervously.

Commentator He Feng said: "...Welcome to the first semi-final of the men's football match of this Olympic Games. Just yesterday afternoon, the girls of the Chinese women's football team passed the penalty shootout on this Sequoia Sports Park court. Eliminated the French women's football team and took the lead in reaching the Olympic finals. I hope the performance of the women's football girls can bring good luck to the young men of the Olympic team..."

※※※

In the hotel where the Los Angeles women's football team stayed, the female football players all gathered in the conference room to watch the highlight of the Olympic men's football team.

The girls also became excited when they saw players from the Chinese Olympic team playing with each other.

They slapped the table, making loud banging noises, to cheer on the Olympic team.

"Come on, Olympic team!"

Li Qingqing did not go crazy with his teammates this time, but raised his head slightly and stared at the face in the close-up.

Xu Wen poked her with her arm: "What did you mean by pulling the hook with Hu Lai yesterday?"

Li Qingqing still looked at the TV screen and said: "He and I have made an agreement to participate in the Olympic finals together."

Xu Wen was a little surprised: "But their opponent is Argentina!"

Li Qingqing finally looked away from the TV screen. She looked at Xu Wen and said, "But they won once four years ago."

Xu Wen opened her mouth, but was speechless in the end.
