Fox in the Penalty Area

1st

After a series of uncreative and noisy commercials ended, the broadcast screen returned to the scene.

Everyone saw Luo Kai appearing in the camera at a glance. The yellow substitute vest was no longer on his body.

He followed other Chinese team players as they walked out of the tunnel and headed toward the court.

"Luo Kai is finally going to appear!"

Members of the former Dongchuan Middle School football team cheered excitedly.

There are some minor conflicts between Hu Lai and Luo Kai, but there is no conflict between them and Luo Kai. So they were very happy to see Luo Kai play.

This means that three teammates of the Dongchuan Middle School football team once again appeared in the World Cup at the same time!

"This is the strongest form of the national team!"

"I just said that Luo Kai will definitely be able to play in this game!"

"Dongchuan Middle School! The strongest in the country!"

"Come on Luo Kai! Kill England!"

Everyone roared and roared, cheering for Luo Kai and the Chinese team.

The 1:1 score in the first half not only boosted the confidence of the Chinese team players, but also boosted the confidence of the Chinese fans.

England is indeed very strong. They are the only team to win all the games in the group stage, and they are also the team that scored the most goals during the group stage.

But so what?

We are not weak either, okay?

We defeated the defending champion with three goals!

Who is afraid of whom!

In the live TV broadcast, the commentators He Feng and Yan Kang also said excitedly:

"Dillon replaced Luo Kai during the half-time break. On the one hand, it shows that Luo Kai is in good physical condition and can support at least 45 minutes of the game. On the other hand, it also shows that Dillon found a way to break the England goal. Way..."

"Dillon took the initiative and took a big risk. But at the same time, risks also contain huge opportunities! Football games always require risks, and only those who dare to take risks can become top stars. Dillon As a world-class coach, he naturally dares to take risks at this time..."

The commentators spoke to each other, heightening the atmosphere and making the Chinese fans in front of the TV excited, waiting for the game to begin.

In the first half, England kicked off, and in the second half, it was naturally the Chinese team's turn to kick off.

England goalkeeper Tom Walker saw Zhou Zijing standing alone next to the football and Hu Lai standing on the center line, so he quickly retreated to his own goal line.

Good guy,

The positional relationship between these two people is exactly the same as the opening match between the Chinese team and the Spanish team!

He was afraid that he would make the same mistake as Rodriguez Barker.

Hu Lai noticed Walker's rapid retreat and smiled at him. He didn't know if Walker saw it in his shock...

In fact, he no longer plans to shoot directly from the center circle.

Because the difficulty is too high and the price/performance ratio is too low.

Any goalkeeper in his right mind would stay in front of the goal line when he takes the ball.

Just like Tom Walker is now.

Once they retreat deep enough, their shot in the center circle will no longer be a threat.

Even if you use the [World Wave Experience Card], you still have to follow the basic physical laws of this world, and it is impossible to flash directly from the center circle into the opponent's goal.

Since it is already difficult to score goals again, this method is naturally impossible to use again.

But Hu Lai still deliberately stood on the center circle line just now in order to give people the impression that he could shoot from the center circle at any time, not only for Tom Walker in this game, but also for all his opponent goalkeepers.

If it can make opponents feel wary when kicking off, thereby affecting their mentality and performance, then it is considered useful.

After all, the most threatening time for nuclear weapons is never when they are fired.

Starting from this World Cup, "Hulay's mid-circle shot" will become a sword of Damocles for all opponents, hanging over their goalkeeper's head, which is an eternal threat.

If there is a goalkeeper who has lost his mind and forgot Hu Lai's legendary moment in the 2030 World Cup and stood in the front, then Hu Lai wouldn't mind using the [World Wave Experience Card] again to help them deepen their impression.

Now that Tom Walker is sensible, there is no need for Hu Lai to waste system points. He just stands on the center circle line and waits for Zhou Zijing to pass the football back. He then let the football pass by his feet and continued to roll towards Brother Huan behind him.

After shaking the England striker Marvin Stones for a shot, Hu Lai started running towards the opponent's half.

The second half of the game began.

※※※

The TV broadcast gave Luo Kai a close-up shot, in which Luo Kai was concentrating on the game and couldn't see anything.

But this shot is enough to illustrate the problem.

"Since being substituted due to injury in the second group match against Italy, Luo Kai has missed all the remaining World Cup games of the Chinese team. This is his return after nearly two games. China The team’s right wing can finally... fly!"

Following the commentator He Feng's words, Luo Kai in the camera suddenly accelerated and rushed out!

But he didn't catch the ball because the ball passed to him by Xia Xiaoyu was a little bigger and he couldn't catch up.

He Feng, who just said that China's right wing can fly, was a little embarrassed. He went back to make up for it: "Just coming on, Luo Kai still needs to adapt to the rhythm of the game. After all, he has missed two halves and a whole World Cup game... …”

Even though he didn't catch the ball, Luo Kai turned around and gave Xia Xiaoyu a thumbs up and a like.

He sincerely praised Xia Xiaoyu, not just to show off on live TV.

Because he could feel from Xia Xiaoyu's diagonal pass just now that Xia Xiaoyu's advance of the pass was no problem.

The problem is yourself.

The injury never healed, and it recurred midway.

Luo Kai was not very confident about his physical condition, and since he hadn't competed for so long, his body was indeed a little tight.

That's why he didn't dare to sprint with all his strength just now. He was really afraid of getting hurt again...

If the ball can rush up by itself at the same speed as before, there will be no problem catching the ball.

So there is nothing wrong with Xia Xiaoyu's passing. He is indeed sending the ball ahead of time according to his previous speed...

Luo Kai looked down at his left ankle.

It can't go on like this...

If this continues, what's the difference between playing and not playing?

The head coach certainly didn't ask me to come up so that I could slowly find my match fitness.

What he wants is "immediate combat power."

What is "immediate combat power"?

It means that when you are called, you will come, you will be able to fight, and you will be able to win!

Luo Kai complained a little about his body, and his chain dropped at the critical moment... Damn it!

※※※

Luo Kai was complaining about his failure, and Xia Xiaoyu was also reflecting on his mistake just now.

He completely ignored that Luo Kai had just come on the field after returning from injury, and he actually followed his old habit and gave the ball a big enough amount in advance...

At the critical moment, he forgot that Luo Kai had just recovered from his injury, and it was hard to say whether he had even completely recovered from his injury. At this time, he should be given the ball at his feet, a safe ball, and let him first find the feeling of the game and his body.

What if Luo Kai tried too hard to chase his pass just now and strained a muscle?

Xia Xiaoyu felt that as a midfield organizer, he was too careless and did not fully consider the situation of his teammates.

This is unqualified.

Xia Xiaoyu, Xia Xiaoyu, how can you still make such a stupid mistake?

He mentally turned the thumbs up Luo Kai gave him upside down.

※※※

"Luo's body has not completely relaxed yet... No, it should be said that his heart has not completely relaxed yet."

Dillon said to himself on the sidelines.

"But we don't have that much time for you to slowly regain your previous feelings... Come on, Luo! You're so stupid... get excited!"

In fact, Dilong's last original words were not like this, but in Jin Tao's ears, they were automatically translated into Chinese.

He also looked at Luo Kai on the court.

The Chinese team really needs a normal Luo Kai.

After all, against England who are in good shape, the Chinese team is not so good that the opponent can win with one hand.

Luo Kai must perform as soon as possible and threaten England's defense on the right, so as to further reduce the pressure on Chen Xingyi on the left.

Otherwise, it would still be a bit difficult to rely on Chen Xingyi alone...

※※※

After seeing that Luo Kai failed to catch up with Xia Xiaoyu's pass, Ryan Jackson, who was also watching from the sidelines, breathed a sigh of relief.

Based on his understanding of Luo Kai, he couldn't catch up with the ball, which only meant that Luo Kai's body had not returned to match condition.

This is good for England.

Looking at it now, it may still be a little difficult for Dillon to achieve the goal of walking on two legs by replacing Luo Kai...

Of course, we can't draw a conclusion yet. After all, this is only Luo Kai's first chance to win the ball.

He didn't know if Luo Kai could quickly adapt to the rhythm of the game.

So he didn't take Luo Kai seriously at all.

He even pointed at Luo Kai and shouted loudly to the England players on the field, indicating that they should strengthen their defense and restrictions on Luo Kai.

His idea is also very simple:

Since Luo Kai's performance was not good after he came on the field, continue to put pressure on him and prevent him from finding a normal game rhythm.

As long as he comes here a few times, Luo Kai, who has just recovered from his injury, will naturally lose confidence and be unable to perform normally.

Doesn't this mean that one side of the Chinese team has been abolished?

And maybe we can use Luo Kai as a breakthrough point, and from here, we can use counterattacks to threaten the Chinese team's goal...
