Fox in the Penalty Area

Standing on the court, Junpei Morikawa focused his attention on the No. 14 player of the Chinese team.

The second half of the game has already started, and his task has not changed from the first half, and he is still responsible for defending this person.

In fact, from a certain point of view, he should thank the person in front of him.

Because it was him that gave him the chance to play in the East Asian Cup.

Thinking of this, Morikawa Junpei decided to go to No. 14 to exchange jerseys after the game, and then keep his jersey as a trophy as a souvenir.

A commemoration of his first national team championship.

He puffed up his chest when he thought of the encouragement and praise given to him by both coach Sato and captain Tatsuya Sugiyama during the intermission.

In the position of central defender, Junpei Morikawa, who is not even 1.8 meters tall, is not very good innate conditions, not tall enough, nor strong enough.

But he also has his own advantages, and he firmly believes that his advantages will definitely allow him to have a place in Japanese football.

That is his flexibility and tenacity.

In order to stand out, he will always be the most desperate person in training. He believes that whether it is in the club or in the Olympic team, his efforts will definitely be seen by the coach.

No, the last game of this East Asian Cup is also the most important game. He started the game.

Before playing, the head coach Sato patted him on the shoulder and said to him: "Morikawa, I know that you are a capable player. I believe you think so too, but some people outside don't think so. They think you are not tall enough. Too light to be a centre-back...then this game is an opportunity for you to prove them wrong! You can be a good centre-back!"

Captain Tatsuya Sugiyama also encouraged him: "Now is the time to show the results of your training to the outside world, Morikawa-kun!"

Everyone is supporting him, so why doesn't he repay everyone's support for him?

His reward is to try to freeze Holley during the game.

He did a good job in the first half, and Hu Lai didn't even have a shot.

Hu Lai felt that someone was staring at him,

As soon as he turned his head, he saw No. 24 of the Japanese team. Director Shi said his name was Junpei Morikawa, and he was looking at him.

Those eyes... It's not that the enemy is extremely jealous when they meet each other, but the eyes are resolute and determined, full of fighting spirit.

This made Hu Lai a little strange-what's the matter with such a second-year look in his eyes?

When Junpei Morikawa saw Hu Lai looking back at him, he couldn't help expressing his feelings to him: "Hello, my name is Junpei Morikawa, and I will let you know how good I am. I'm sorry, but you won't have a chance to shoot in the game ... After today's game, everyone will hear my name!"

Hu Lai was even more confused - why did this person still talk to him? But the problem is big brother, you have been talking Japanese for a long time, and you didn’t speak a word of Japanese that I can understand...

Since the other party was so enthusiastic, Hu Lai thought that if I didn't reply a word, when the game screen was seen by the media, would they say that I was arrogant, did not respect the opponent and was not polite?

But he really couldn't understand what the other party said, but it couldn't help him. He remembered a video he had seen that taught people how to chat with Japanese people without knowing Japanese at all, so he felt like Following the example, he nodded again and again: "Hey hey hey... the temple was searched——"

Junpei Morikawa saw that Hu Lai actually responded to him, and became even more excited: "Mr. Hu Lai, if possible, I hope that I can exchange jerseys with you after the game. I think you are a respectable opponent..."

"Oh? Suoga - No-Maj's...Where are there more monkeys..."

Morikawa Junpei did not expect Hu Lai to agree!

He was overjoyed, and was about to say "Arigado" again, when he saw Hu Lai's figure sway, and then suddenly jumped out from his side!

※※※

"Guo Junfu's pass! Hu Lai! Shoot!"

Amidst the roar of the commentator He Feng, Hu Lai shot the football towards the goal of the Japanese team.

Japanese goalkeeper Hiroki Ueshima soared into the air, holding the football out with a single palm!

"Wow! It's dangerous!!" The commentator of Nippon TV exclaimed, "Fortunately, Hiroki Ueshima made a wonderful save and tried to keep the goal clean!"

There may not even be a second before Hu Lai leaves from before him and he shoots the goal. Junpei Morikawa didn't react at all.

After the football flew out of the bottom line, he realized that Hu Lai had just completed his first shot of the game!

And just half a minute ago, he boasted in front of Hu Lai, saying that he would never let him have a chance to shoot in this game...

"Hey! Morikawa, what are you doing!" Goalkeeper Hiroki Uejima, who saved the goal once, got up from the ground and shouted at Junpei Morikawa who was in a daze. "The game is the game, why are you chatting with the opponent?!"

"Ah, sorry..." Morikawa Junpei turned around and apologized.

"Don't be sorry, just keep an eye on him!" Uejima Hiroki slapped Morikawa Junpei to Hu Lai's side.

Junpei Morikawa looked at Hu Lai again, feeling ashamed and remorseful for his distraction just now. Fortunately, Uejima-kun was as stable as ever, otherwise he would have become a sinner for the whole team...

At this moment, he saw Hu Lai turned around and looked at himself again. This time, he didn't talk to himself, but just smiled.

※※※

"Hu Lai has a shot!" The Chinese women's football girls in the stands realized that this was Hu Lai's first shot of the game after regretting that the shot failed to score.

"It's a pity that I didn't make it in! The opportunity is too difficult to get, and that No. 24 was thrown away by Hu Lai this time..."

"Yes, yes, it is a good opportunity that is hard to buy. If this goal is scored, the Chinese team will be able to tie the score..."

Li Qingqing shook her head: "No, it's not a big deal even if you don't get in."

Her point of view attracted everyone's attention.

"That No. 24 can't guard against Hu Lai." Li Qingqing said firmly. "There will be more shots from Hou Lai, he will score sooner or later."

"Qingqing, you talk too much..."

Li Qingqing neither explained nor refuted, but rested his chin on one hand and focused on the field.

※※※

"This Morikawa Junpei can't guard against Hu Lai!" In the bar, Yan Yan pointed to the scene on the projection screen and said loudly to the people around him.

"He only has one shot to defend against Hu Lai so far, why should he say that he can't defend against Hu Lai?" someone in the bar asked curiously.

"Because Hu Lai was chatting with him!" Yan Yan said.

The others in the bar looked at each other, not understanding what this had to do with not being able to guard against Holly?

The middle-aged uncle sitting next to Yan Yan asked the question in his heart instead of the big guy.

Yan Yan laughed when he heard this: "Uncle, you don't know Hu Lai as well as I do, so it's normal to have such questions... How about I tell you a story? That was the first time Hu Lai played in the final of the Andong Cup in our province. Substitute in..."

※※※

Seeing that Hu Lai's shot was saved, the other players in the Chinese team were all regretful. Only Wang Guangwei's reaction was different from them-he twitched the corner of his mouth, and had bad memories...

But it was followed by curiosity: When will Hu Lai speak Japanese? Can you still chat with Japanese players?

He decided to run up to ask what happened - anyway, the next corner kick, he also went up to fight for the top.

After running into the restricted area, he found Hu Lai: "What are you talking about with that kid?"

"I don't know..." Hu Lai spread his hands and said with a confused expression. "I can't understand Japanese, how can I know what he is looking for me...

Wang Guangwei was annoyed: "I don't understand what you are talking about?!"

"People talk to me, but I don't answer a word. Isn't that very polite?"

"Do you speak Japanese?"

"Neither..."

"How dare you two talk to each other!" Wang Guangwei rolled his eyes, and then ran to take his place.

He thought that Hu Lai could really speak Japanese and understand Japanese...

"Fuck, make it clear! Who is the chicken and who is the duck?!" Hu Lai stretched out his hand, but he was a step too late, failing to grab Wang Guangwei's clothes and letting him slip away.

Then Hu Lai turned his head and found that Junpei Morikawa, who was a combination of "chicken and duck", was still beside him. He ran out of the restricted area, and Junpei Morikawa followed.

Hu Lai is used to this. It is estimated that the head coach of the Japanese team specially arranged for such a person to guard him.

Seeing Morikawa Junpei's eyes staring at himself, it seemed that his eyes were more ambiguous than just now.

It's really marking, literally...

※※※

"Did you see Wang Guangwei who went up and talked to Hu Lai? At that time, he was miserable by Hu Lai's "cross talk football", and finally collapsed, giving Hu Lai a chance to shoot. Hu Lai relied on That shot beat Jiaxiang High School, and our Dongchuan Middle School qualified for the national competition for the first time..." Yan Yan pointed to the projection screen and said.

"So you now understand why I am so sure that Hu Lai will score a goal? When he started chatting with the opponent's defender... hehe, it means that he is very relaxed now and has entered his rhythm. Don't you I thought that in the first half, Hu Lai was blocked by this kid without a shot, so he would be impatient or something... You see, I am not worried at all. Why? Because I understand Hu Lai! Just a Morikawa Junpei How could it be possible to prevent him? The head coach of the Japanese team really thinks that he can freeze Hu Lai by just finding a substitute? What a mess!"

After finishing speaking, Yan Yan leaned back slightly, leaned on the chair in the bar, raised his legs, then gracefully picked up the wine glass, and took a sip of wine to moisten his throat after telling the story.

The others looked at him who was leisurely and contented, and they were all speechless.

Many of them have never heard of this story, so they cannot verify its authenticity.

After all, it's so fucking nonsense, how can anyone have the time to chat with others during the game?

But they also thought that before the first East Asian Cup game, it was this young man who insisted that Hu Lai would definitely score in the game, and he finally got what he said.

It has to be dubious.

The middle-aged man sitting next to him suddenly asked, "I have a question, does Hu Lai speak Japanese?"

Yan Yan shrugged: "I never heard that he would."

"Then how does he chat with Japanese players?"

Yan Yan waved his hand nonchalantly: "That's not important. As long as Hu Lai is willing, even if there is a monkey in front of him, he can still chat and laugh happily with the other party."

"Is this too exaggerated?"

"No exaggeration, uncle. You can't judge everything that happened to Hu Lai with common sense. Don't try to explain his behavior, and don't think about why and why, otherwise you will find yourself in the wrong place. Broken." Yan Yan shook Erlang's upturned legs. "How about uncle, let's make another bet? If Hu Lai can score under the defense of that little Japanese, how about you paying for the whole game today?"

The uncle nodded: "Okay. If you don't score, you pay the bill."

"No problem!" Yan Yan curled his lips and agreed very calmly.

Others who heard the conversation between the two cheered: "Waiter, add wine!"

"Waiter, bring me a dozen of Qingdao in 1982!"

There was an air of joviality and excitement in the bar.

PS, today's second update was moved forward by an hour because there was another update at ten o'clock in the evening, and it was Hu Lai's goal.

Surprised or not, is it unexpected?

It's the end of the month, so I'll reach out to ask everyone for a monthly pass, and try to make our monthly pass rank in the top 50 this month, okay?
