Fox in the Penalty Area

Day 1

"...We made very detailed arrangements and deployments before the game. Our goal is indeed to get all three points. But to be honest, I didn't expect this game to be like this...Since when did it start to exceed my expectations? of?"

Sitting on the stage, Dillon smiled when he heard the reporter's question:

"Of course it started from the first second of the game."

All the reporters present, except the Spanish reporter, burst into laughter.

"Who could have imagined that this game would start like this? I'm afraid no one. Hu Lai set a series of records in this game. I don't want to repeat those data again. I just want to say that being able to become a member of the Chinese team Head coach, coaching Hu Lai is the greatest honor in my coaching career... Yes, I have coached many teams and worked with many outstanding players. But I still want to say that no one can compare Hu Lai now. Among the players I have worked with, some are good at creating miracles, but Hu Lai...he is the miracle itself. I don't know if I can describe him well with my lack of human language, but I can only You can say that..."

"I am a Spaniard and I have deep feelings for my motherland. But as a coach, I am still very happy to lead a team like China to defeat the defending champion in the first round of the World Cup group stage, and Be proud of it.”

A reporter stood up and asked: "Zenitalia said your tactical concepts are outdated, but today you defeated the advanced Spain with outdated football. So, does this victory vindicate your reputation?"

This is a controversial issue, because the root cause of the incident before the game was that everyone recognized that Jorge Dillon's approach was outdated and backward.

As a result, the outdated and backward football has defeated the popular and advanced football.

It was so dramatic and very topical at the same time.

Faced with such a sensitive question, Dillon smiled slightly, shrugged and spread his hands: "I never think that my football is outdated and backward, and I don't think that football tactics are outdated or backward. What suits my team best? Tactics are the best, and tactics that can win games are advanced. At the European Cup the year before last, weren't the Czech team's tactics considered outdated and backward? They even had 'sweepers' who had disappeared for decades. But what's the result? They are European champions."

Having said this, Dillon curled his lips and expressed his disdain for the so-called "obsolescence theory".

"There have never been any advanced and popular tactics. If a certain tactic represents a trend, how terrible would it be in world football? All teams play exactly the same football on the field? When a football tactic can bring victory When competing with the champion, someone must have developed another tactic of mutual restraint. The history of world football has come all the way to the present through such mutual restraint and counter-restraint..."

The Spanish journalists who were familiar with Dillon made a very helpless expression to the people around them: This old man who is a good teacher is going to start giving lessons again!

But Dillon didn't let them guess,

After he said the above words, he decisively ended his interview:

"Sorry, I have to go enjoy the victory with my team. Thank you and see you all!"

After saying that, he stood up, waved goodbye, and turned around to leave. He completely ignored the reporters in the audience who were scrambling to raise their arms.

He didn't even pay attention to the press officer's astonished attempt to persuade him: "Mr. Dillon, there is still time left for your press conference..."

Dillon ignored him and pushed the door open.

Then he saw Spanish coach Kily Borja, who had just walked over.

The two people who had just shaken hands after the game met face to face this time, but they just passed by each other without shaking hands or communicating.

"We know some people are going to say, 'If it hadn't been for that kick-off goal from Hu, the game wouldn't have been like this.' That's right, any team would panic in a situation like that, and it's understandable. Original. Conceding the ball too early also disrupted our plan and mentality. But...only cowards make excuses for failure!"

When Borja went to attend the post-match press conference, captain Juan Ramirez was already in the locker room giving a lecture to the players.

"No matter what the reason is, a loss is a loss. And we lost completely. So what if we didn't have Hu's goal? It just went from losing three goals to losing two goals. So what? Did we score two goals? Didn't we? So what difference does it make if we conceded the goal or not? After the 60th minute of the game, the Chinese team shrunk their defense and we had so much time to attack their ball. The team even scored a goal? In the end, they didn’t score a goal. With such a performance, how can you have the nerve to throw away the responsibility for losing?!"

All the Spanish players in the locker room lowered their heads, sat in their seats and were being scolded without saying a word.

No matter which club they are in the league as the boss or captain, they have to act like elementary school students in front of the "championship cornerstone".

In fact, when Spain won the championship four years ago, Cerrados was the captain who wore the captain's armband and lifted the trophy.

But everyone knows that the real boss in the locker room is second captain Juan Ramirez.

With Cerrados's meek and reserved character, he is actually not suitable to be a "boss" who can shake up various factions in the locker room.

So the task was given to Ramirez.

It was his tough style and flexible methods that helped the "Catalonia Gang", "King's Gang", "Pirates Gang", "Basque Country Gang" and "Sevilla Gang" in the Spanish national team... These are from different countries. Players from the area are united and fighting for the same goal.

What outsiders think of as the "cornerstone of the championship" is to describe his importance as a defensive midfielder on the court, and his performance in that World Cup was indeed the pinnacle of his career.

But this nickname also has another meaning, that is, his role in the locker room, uniting all forces that can be united, is an important cornerstone of the championship.

No matter what faction of players they are, everyone is convinced by Ramirez.

Someone even secretly revealed that if Cerrados wasn't more famous, the Spanish national team's captain's armband should be worn on Ramirez's arm.

Many times it was Ramirez who spoke in the locker room and encouraged the players.

Cerrados is so quiet...

Facing his teammates who were speechless, Ramirez clapped his hands again after criticizing the team's performance and encouraged them: "Losing one game is not the end of the world, as long as we can win the remaining two games. If we get six points, we can still qualify! Don't think about whether we are first or second in the group, first think about how to qualify from this group!"

At this point, he paused and said in a firm tone:

"I have decided. No matter how my injury recovers, I will definitely play in the remaining two group matches. Together, we will work hard and fight for the goal of qualifying for the group!"

The players of the national team raised their heads and looked at their captain.

The place where the Chinese team bus was parked was fenced off in advance.

It has been more than forty minutes since the game ended, and the red bus painted with a golden Chinese dragon is still parked here.

The driver sat in the driver's seat and waited.

Outside the fence are dense crowds of Chinese fans and media reporters who are also waiting.

The security personnel's intercom came with a reminder from colleagues inside: "Be prepared, they are coming out!"

Immediately afterwards, the Chinese fans at the scene burst into huge cheers.

With their cheers as the background, the reporters on the scene also started working, and they shouted at the top of their lungs:

"Zhang Qinghuan! It's Zhang Qinghuan who came out! He is the first Chinese team player to come out of the tunnel! He has changed back into the uniform of the Chinese team and is smiling and waving to the enthusiastic fans..."

The voices of reporters at the scene were completely drowned out by the huge cheers and screams behind them.

After Zhang Qinghuan, Chinese team players and coaches came out of the tunnel one after another. Each of them had an excited smile on their face. Some people swung their buttocks, danced and jumped, and then met with the enthusiastic fans. They high-fived.

Clearly still recovering from the celebrations in the locker room.

Hu Lai and Xia Xiaoyu walked out of the passage side by side.

However, when he reached the entrance of the passage, Xia Xiaoyu suddenly accelerated and rushed out from Hu Lai.

Then he waved to the cheering Chinese fans and ran directly to the car.

Now Hu Lai, who had not yet recovered, was the only one left at the entrance of the passage.

The stage there was left to him alone.

Everyone at the scene became excited.

Videographers and photographers turned their lenses over one after another, and reporters excitedly introduced:

"The one who comes out now (appears in the camera) is the best player of the game, Hu Lai!"

The Chinese fans at the scene shouted in unison: "Hu Lai! Hu Lai! Hu Lai! Hu Lai!"

Amid the shouts, Hu Lai kept waving to the fans, grinning and showing his white teeth.

The reporters continued to say excitedly: "Chinese fans greeted their heroes with the warmest cheers!"

"Listen to such calls! This is Hu's status in the hearts of Chinese fans! How amazing it would be when a person can become a hero in the hearts of 1.4 billion people! Hu! He is completely worthy of it!"

Hu Lai boarded the bus amid cheers, and was patted from the front to the back by his teammates who were waiting on the bus.

Seeing Hu Lai running away with his head in his arms through the car window, the fans present burst into laughter.

The reporters were laughing too.

This is really a day that makes all Chinese people happy!
