Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 101 Nonsense

In both time and space, there is a word called "Koreaphobia".

This word has the same meaning in both time and space. It refers to returning to the AFC from the national football team and joining the FIFA family. After meeting the South Korean team in an official game, they have been invincible.

It's just that the specific time of the two time and space is somewhat different.

In the time and space that Hu Lai is familiar with, Korean phobia started in the 1978 Asian Games qualifiers in Bangkok, and ended in the East Asian Cup in 2010 by the Chinese team led by Gao Hongbo. The strongest Korean team.

Although there were still more losses than wins against the South Korean team in official matches afterwards, there was no embarrassing record of not winning a game for 32 years. In the top twelve of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, When the relationship between China and South Korea was the most tense, the Chinese team defeated the South Korean team 1-0 at home. This time, it did not embarrass the country and did not lose the chain at a critical moment.

But in the time and space where Hu Lai is now, it is very embarrassing.

From the first loss to the South Korean team in the Asian Games semi-finals in 1982, until 2023, for 41 years, the Chinese team has never won the South Korean team in an official international A-level competition.

It's just a tragedy.

But strictly speaking, "Koreaphobia" only refers to men's football, and women's football does not have "Koreaphobia", so in fact, it cannot be said that Chinese football has "Koreaphobia", only that the Chinese men's football team has "Koreaphobia". ".

Switching to the women's team, the normal confrontation, the two sides win each other. If you look at historical data, you will find that, not to mention the 41-year invincibility against South Korea, the Chinese women's football team has not even surpassed five consecutive victories against the South Korean team-their consecutive record of victories against the Korean team is only four games.

On the contrary, the South Korean women's football team has a record of twelve consecutive victories against the Chinese women's football team.

If there is any disease, I am afraid that the Korean women's football team once suffered from "neophobia".

Today's East Asian Cup opening game can well illustrate that women's football girls don't know what "fear of Korea" is.

After Li Qingqing scored the first goal for the Chinese team in the 28th minute of the game, the morale of the Chinese team soared. They scored another goal in the second half and took a 2-0 lead.

Then Yan En began to change and adjust to train the team.

Li Qingqing was also replaced in the 78th minute.

When she left the field, the Olympic team players stood up and applauded her.

This time, Hu Lai also stood up from his seat, and finally his father in front of the TV did not find any reason.

After Li Qingqing left the field, the TV broadcast gave her a close-up shot. In the shot, she took the towel handed by the assistant coach and wiped the sweat from her face. Softened, adding charm.

"When Li Qingqing was interviewed before, she said that she hoped to win the World Cup on behalf of the Chinese team one day, and her performance today is the best footnote for her words-one goal, one assist, this performance fully deserves For that great goal!"

The commentator of CCTV Sports Channel praised Li Qingqing's performance.

This made Xie Lan in front of the TV very happy.

Hu Lixin saw her like that,

Then he said: "Don't be too happy too early, if you don't, you will be very disappointed!"

"No, it's her!" Xie Lan said firmly.

Hu Lixin was really speechless: "Even if she is the coach woman, she is still her daughter. What does it have to do with you? Do you think that Hu Lai has an unusual relationship with her?"

"Of course not ordinary!"

"Why?"

"intuition!"

Hu Lixin rolled his eyes and stopped talking, he couldn't make sense with this woman.

※※※

After Li Qingqing left the field, the midfield control of the Chinese team dropped significantly and was suppressed by the South Korean team.

Finally lost a ball.

But still won the opener with a score of 2:1.

In this East Asian Cup women's football match, apart from the Chinese team, only South Korea and Japan are strong enough. Now the Chinese team has won the first game and defeated the South Korean team. The only opponent standing in their way is the Japanese women's football team, which is also the strongest opponent of the Chinese team.

If the Chinese team can beat the Japanese team, they will definitely win the championship - because they cannot lose to Chinese Taipei.

But it is not easy to beat the Japanese team. The Japanese team was the defending champion of the last East Asian Cup women's football team. They also set a record two years ago: they won all the championships they could get in two years. Including Women's Asian Cup, Women's Asian Games, U19 Women's Asian Cup, U16 Women's Asian Cup.

In addition, the Japanese women's football team also won the World Cup eight years ago.

It can be said that although Japan started women's football later than China, their speed of progress is astonishing, which is also due to their "100-year plan" that sounded like a joke at first.

Now at the level of women's football, Japan has surpassed China and become the Asian hegemon.

※※※

Although the Chinese women's football team has won a good start, they have received far less attention than the men's football team.

Even if everyone scolds the men's football at ordinary times, once there is a men's football game, it still needs to attract more attention.

In particular, this game is still between the Chinese team and the South Korean team.

One day before the game, hot topics appeared on the Chinese Internet.

The incident of the Korean team in the Kirin Cup has also been rediscovered. Coupled with the interviews that Park Guixian accepted before this East Asian Cup, the taste is very sour.

Those who mourned the misfortune of the national football team naturally cursed the Korean sticks for being despicable and unsportsmanlike.

Those who were angry with the national football team said, "Look, even if we lose the game, the enemy will point to our corpses and call them slaves."

What makes Chinese fans even more sad or angry is that even if the opponent humiliates us so much, we may still not be able to take revenge.

After all, this time, Shi Wuyin didn't even bring Guan Xinyan.

The team's top scorer is not brought, still want to win?

What daydream? !

At the same time, a saying began to circulate on the Internet: The reason why Shi Wuyin did not bring Guan Xinyan was because of Hu Lai.

This player who scored 11 goals in the Chinese League One last season was the top scorer of Flash Star last season. Shi Wuyin is very optimistic about Hu Lai's future, and even hides Guan Xinyan in the snow in order to give him a chance to exercise.

If this is the case, it is still normal, it is just an ordinary conspiracy theory, there are 500 or 1000 such rumors on the Chinese Internet every day. What's more, Hu Lai's performance in the Chinese League One last season was solid, and his eleven goals were not blown out.

But this "Hu Lai" is the guy who uttered wild words, sensationalized, and asked the media to write soft articles to criticize the fans!

That nature is different...

"I said, why is this kid so crazy... It turns out he is backed by his godfather!"

"Heh, I don't know how much money I gave to the leaders of the Pig Association to enter the training team..."

"Chinese football is really doomed. They even found such a clown to represent the country... Tsk tsk!"

Of course, some people tried to explain to the angry netizens that Hu Lai is not a vain name, but that he has real skills, but in this kind of extreme mood, the voice of one or two people is useless at all, or they will be scolded as nonsense. Lai's navy was either directly overwhelmed by firepower and saliva.

In this way, it was just a guess at the beginning, and later it simply became the U22 national team that Hu Lai relied on money to get into the U22 national team.

evidence?

There is no evidence, and everyone is saying it anyway, so it must be true after all!

Besides, how could this kind of internal transaction be easily left behind? Neither side is stupid. So don't worry about whether we want evidence or not, but everyone's eyes are sharp! This kind of people can enter the U22, so why is there an internal transaction?

There are also logical ghosts who said that although there is no definite evidence that there is a private exchange of interests, there is also no definite evidence that this thing did not happen!

The rumors are rampant... Even Guan Xinyan is a little suspicious that Director Shi has not told the truth to himself. On the surface, he said that he would stay in the club to play well in the Super League and accumulate experience. In fact, he really did it to make way for this guy named Hu Lai... …

Of course, Guan Xinyan was only a little skeptical. Without real evidence, he would not really go to question Shi Wuyin or the team leader Ran Jiachang. But from now on, I will definitely care about this person who "replaced" him in my heart, and I will keep an eye on him to see how much this person weighs.

As soon as Xie Lan arrived at the office, she found that the atmosphere in the office was different today. She always felt that there were eyes staring at her, but when she looked over, the eyes staring at her disappeared.

This feeling made her very uncomfortable, as if everyone in the office knew her secrets, looked at her curiously in private, and even talked about her, but she alone didn't know why.

She walked to her desk, put down her bag, and looked around.

Then I made sure that everyone was looking at her, but they didn't dare to look at her, and they would look away if they met her.

Moved away very deliberately.

In the end, Xie Lan saw Sister Wang in the office, and when she saw herself looking over, she didn't look away, but said with a smile: "Xiao Xie, what is wrong with my former sister, your lord has a lot, how much?" Forgive me..."

This is wrong, the smell of guns and sticks is too strong.

Xie Lan is also a veteran in the world of bullying, how could he not feel the thorn in Sister Wang's words?

She and Sister Wang have always been at odds with each other, and they have quarreled several times in front of everyone in the office, and they don't like each other. Sister Wang said such things to herself, it was just yin and yang.

"Sister Wang, look at what you said... If you have anything to say, just say it directly, why be so oblique?" Xie Lan turned back with a smile on her face.

"Then I'll just say it directly... In fact, it's not a big deal. You seem to have a good relationship with the Chinese Football Association. You can even put your own son in it. I just want to ask if you can put my son in it too." Let's go in..."

The smile on Xie Lan's face froze: "What is the relationship with the Chinese Football Association?"

"Oh, Xiao Xie. This is your mistake. Your son has entrusted his relationship to join the national team. Do you still pretend to be confused? My son also likes football..."

Your son likes bloody football, and I've never seen you mention it... Xie Lan complained in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm: "Sister Wang, you can take medicine indiscriminately, but you can't talk about it indiscriminately. Who said my son is related to the national team?"

Because of the broadcast of the People's Chronicle program, basically everyone in the office knew that Xie Lan had a son who was a professional player, and they paid more attention to Hu Lai's usual news.

Sister Wang handed her mobile phone to Xie Lan: "Hey, look, isn't it clear in this article?"

Xie Lan took it over and saw that it was an article on the official account, and the title was shocking: "Shocked! The youngest Olympic player was selected because..."

The main text is that the reason why Hu Lai was able to become the youngest player of this year's Olympic training team is that there is something tricky behind it.

However, the author of this official account did not say what the trick is. Anyway, there is something tricky. Otherwise, why would this nineteen-year-old player be selected for the U22 national team? It stands to reason that even if he performed well in the league, he should be selected for the U19 national team, that is, the national youth team. Why did he come to the U22 Olympic team?

The author also explained to readers in the article how special it is to be selected into the team by skipping a grade, in order to prove that it is incredible that Hu Lai was selected for the National Olympics.

Xie Lan read the article twice, but did not see any evidence that Hu Lai had any close relationship with the leaders of the Football Association, so he returned the phone to Sister Wang, and said with a smile: "Just say It’s just unbelievable, but I haven’t seen any evidence. Sister Wang, you are making too much fuss. If you think my family has something to do with the Football Association because of this incident, then you should watch more football and improve your football knowledge. You Seeing that I didn’t know much about football before, now that my son has kept a game clean, he can already tell at a glance that this article is nonsense.”

Sister Wang's complexion is not very good: "Where is the nonsense?"

"Of course it's nonsense. Is it unbelievable to be selected for the National Olympics at the age of 19? That Zhang Qinghuan, my son's teammate in Xingxing, was selected for the national team at the age of 18! Is he also related to the Football Association?"

"Zhang...Qing Huan?" Sister Wang's expression became obviously confused.

Seeing this, Xie Lan chuckled lightly: "Look, Miss Wang, you don't even know who Zhang Qinghuan is, so let's stop discussing football..."

After finishing speaking, she waved her hand, as if signaling to Sister Wang to back off, she stopped talking to her, took out the thermos from her bag, turned around and went to the water dispenser in the corridor outside to get boiling water.

Just after she walked out of the office, her face instantly became gloomy.

She noticed that the number of readings of the official account article seemed to have increased by 100,000, which indicated that the article had been widely spread.

Maybe I can explain to the people in the office that their family has nothing to do with sending their son to the Olympic team, but what about people in other places?

With so many people across the country, can you explain them one by one?

Just looking at the number of readings, I know that there must be many people who have the same idea as Sister Wang.

She knew that her son had been scolded a lot on the Internet because of the declaration of winning the World Cup, but now this kind of conspiracy theory is different from pure personal attacks.

Xie Lan, a veteran in the world of bullying, even suspected that his son had offended someone, so he was fucked.

In the restaurant of the hotel where the Chinese Olympic team stayed, Xiao Xiao came to the dining table with a plate of food. As soon as he sat down, he turned his head, then lowered his voice, and said to everyone in a mysterious tone: "Hey, listen Have you said it? The Internet said Hu Lai..."

Before he finished speaking, Guo Junfu interrupted him: "Do you also believe those nonsense on the Internet, Xiao Xiao?"

Xiao Xiao looked at the captain with a serious expression, and realized that if he didn't answer this question well, he might offend others.

So he shook his head quickly: "No, no, only fools believe in such rumors! I thought you didn't know, so I wanted to tell you, but I didn't expect you all to know... Ha!"

Seeing what he said, Guo Junfu's expression softened a little, and he warned: "Be careful with your words, don't say something casually, if it is taken out of context by the media, it will cause trouble for Hu Lai and our team."

"Yes yes yes, Captain Guo, I promise not to talk nonsense and keep my mouth shut!" Xiao Xiao patted his chest to assure, and then he changed his tone again, "But say it in private, Team Guo. Of course I don't believe it. How did Hu Lai get into the team. But in the final analysis, the bullshit thing is not because he pretended to be in the first place? If he hadn’t talked nonsense about winning the World Cup and given someone a handle, how could he be now? Those rumors?"

Guo Junfu frowned upon hearing this, and sighed: "Take it as the price of growth..."

"The price of his growth has to be borne by the whole team. Tonight is the game against the South Korean team, but he has messed up..."

"Okay." Guo Junfu became serious again, "Don't talk about it, the more united our team is at this time."

Xiao Xiao saw that the captain was on Hu Lai's side, so he didn't say a word, and lowered his head to plan his meal, but he was thinking in his mind: Well, if the team's performance is not good this time, there will be someone who is responsible for it... that's okay, We should be scolded less.

※※※

Ran Jiachang, the leader of the Olympic team, shook his head and sighed: "Hu Lai, you really make me worry..."

Now he is in the room of the team's head coach Shi Wuyin, discussing with him how to deal with the public opinion that Hu Lai was involved in the Olympic team that started to ferment last night.

"You can't blame Hu Lai for this." Shi Wuji defended his players. "A rumor can be turned into the so-called truth if it is forwarded by a few big Vs on Weibo. I can only say that there are too many idiots on the Internet."

"Of course we know this is a rumor, but many people on the Internet don't know it. I think we should make a statement..." Ran Jiachang suggested.

But it was denied by Shi Wuyin: "Not now, we will talk about it after the match with the South Korean team."

Ran Jiachang immediately understood: "According to the result of the game, make a statement?"

Shi Wuyin nodded: "You must not use the same wording when you lose and win. If you lose, you should be a little lower and try to be brief. If you win..."

Ran Jiachang laughed: "This is the South Korean team's home game, if it is a tie, I will win!"

The Chinese team has not been able to beat South Korea in an international A-level competition for 41 years. Could it be possible to win tonight? What about trouble?

After the team leader Ran Jiachang shook his head and left Shi Wuyin's room, the assistant coach Li Zhifei, who had been sitting silently in the corner, stared at Shi Wuyin and said, "Are you thinking again that this is a good test for Hu Lai?"

Shi Wuyin shook his head: "This is not the test I want, it's beyond what he can handle. But there's nothing we can do about it, we can only hope that he can get through it by himself."

"You can take him out of the starting list." Li Zhifei said. "That way even if we lose the game, it has nothing to do with him."

"No... I want those who doubt him to see his ability. If I don't let him play, he will not even have a chance to prove himself in the face of overwhelming doubts."

"But if he does not perform well, it may actually confirm those rumors...The Football Association's statement may be meaningless at that time."

Hearing what his assistant said, Shi Wuyin fell into silence for a while.

After a while, he said: "Call him here, let me talk to him, let's listen to what he has to say first."
