Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 191 of the main text of the Fox in the Restricted Area. There is always Kaner, the FA Cup final venue, the home court of Dashun Golden Arrow, and the ocean stadium is full of voices.

The home team fans are celebrating the team's goal.

Just three minutes after the start of the second half, the Golden Arrow of Dashun finally blasted away the goal of Shining Star, breaking the deadlock on the field.

"... In the first half, the Flash Star team set up a bus in front of the goal again. They successfully resisted the attack of Dashun Golden Arrow, and they did not concede a goal in the whole first half. But we talked about this problem in the first half That's it - this kind of passive defense can't last long. As a result, the second half just started, and the Golden Arrow took advantage of the weakness of the Flash Star players' lack of concentration to score the first goal..."

He Feng watched this scene in the rear studio and shook his head.

"The team lacks sufficient offensive means, and without support, the starter Hu Lai is almost invisible. Chen Xingyi, who performed well in the counterattack in the semifinals, also failed to pose any threat to the Golden Arrow's defense... Golden Arrow's defense against Chen Xingyi was very successful, and Shan Xing's counterattack was almost impossible..."

"He Feng, this is the objective strength gap between the two teams. The gap between the No. Shrunk to defend, and just failed to defend..." Guest commentator Yan Kang shook his head and sighed, "I can't say that Flash Star is not good enough, they have done well enough, I can only say that Dashun Golden Arrow is too strong..."

"It's just a conceded goal!" The commentator of Anton Satellite TV was cheering up the Anton fans in front of the TV, and also cheering up the Flash Star team on the field. "Away to play second in the Chinese Super League, how could it be possible not to concede a goal? Of course everyone hopes not to concede a goal, but it is no big deal if there is a conceded goal. It's totally acceptable for the stars..."

Xie Lan in front of the TV frowned as he heard the commentator's voice.

This time by her side, there was no husband of her own.

He said yesterday that the unit was notified to be on duty temporarily today, and there was no way to watch the game.

Although Xie Lan always felt that her husband's reaction was very strange, since his son reached the FA Cup final, there seemed to be something wrong with him. But she didn't force her husband to watch the game either.

She knows very well that for a man, face is more important than the sky, and some things cannot be forced. Since the husband doesn't want to watch the game, let him do his wish.

Anyway, isn't there two more finals?

During the second final, she asked her husband to watch it with her. He was embarrassed to refuse twice in a row, right?

Xie Lan had such a plan to watch the game alone at home, but now she regrets it.

Because she wants to hear her husband's analysis of the game situation, whether Flashing Star can hold on and stop conceding the ball, or whether there is any hope of stealing one, just like the semi-final against Sea God...

"Hey, old Hu. I don't have your shift today. What are you doing here?" When Lao Fan returned to the security duty room to change his clothes, he immediately saw Hu Lixin in his own clothes sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone. , he was a little surprised.

"I had a fight with my wife and I don't want to stay at home." Hu Lixin said without looking up.

"Oh, why are you bothering..." Lao Fan persuaded Hu Lixin, and walked towards the TV in the duty room, "As a result, you can't even watch your son's game now? It's okay, you can watch it here... ..."

After speaking, he turned on the TV with the remote control.

"Oh no, I..." It was too late for Hu Lixin to stop, the TV screen that had been on standby was quickly lit up, and then Lao Fan operated the remote control to switch to the sports channel of Anton Satellite TV.

There was a huge din from the TV.

At the same time, the commentator of Anton Satellite TV's sports channel said in frustration: "... Flash Star made a mistake in defense,

The captain of the team, Li Tielin, accidentally knocked the football into his own goal when blocking Sosa's shot... It was an own goal! And it's only been six minutes since Flash Star conceded the goal just now... Now Flash Star is 0:2 behind in the away game..."

Hearing such a voice, and checking the score in the upper left corner of the screen, Lao Fan was also a little embarrassed.

"Uh... this... what is Flashing Star doing?!"

Hu Lixin looked up at the TV set on the wall, just at this time the picture of the Golden Arrow coach bench appeared on the TV screen.

Golden Arrows head coach Wang Xianke happened to be pumping his fists in celebration of the goal.

When Hu Lixin saw this scene, he immediately lowered his head and continued to look at his mobile phone: "We're only two goals behind, and Shining Star has already played very well."

"That's what you say, but didn't you only concede one goal in the previous semi-final against Poseidon?" Lao Fan asked.

"Teams are different, so how can such a simple strategy be possible? The Poseidon and the Golden Arrow are different. The same tactic works for the Poseidon, but it may not work for the Golden Arrow." After speaking, Hu Lixin stood up and wanted to go out.

"Why?"

"Go to the toilet." Hu Lixin put his mobile phone into his trouser pocket, bowed his waist and bowed his head, and walked out.

The noise from the TV in the house was left behind by him.

Lao Fan looked at Hu Lixin's back strangely, looked back at the TV, and scratched his head.

He always felt that today's old man was weird.

Hu Lixin, who walked out of the duty room, was strolling in the community. He looked like a resident of this high-end community without wearing a security uniform.

When he walked around the fifth and fourth buildings, the lawn in the atrium of the community suddenly opened up in front of him.

Although it is already late autumn and early winter, the carefully selected grass species ensure that this large area of ​​lawn in the community can remain green even in late winter. The owners of the community can see the green community scenery from their balconies or bay windows, which makes them feel relaxed and happy, and feel that the money is really worth the money.

The well-designed and maintained greenery is also one of the reasons why this community has higher housing prices than other surrounding communities.

After seeing the atrium of this community, more than one person couldn't help but marvel: "Wow! It's like a park!"

Now there are several kindergarten children chasing a football on this park-like lawn.

Three boys and one girl played without any rules, just chasing the football.

Someone chased the football first, and then kicked the football forward, and then his companions swarmed past him and continued to chase the bouncing football.

So they ran from one side of the lawn to the other, and back again.

The community at four o'clock on Saturday afternoon was filled with their laughter and noise.

Hu Lixin stopped and looked at this scene in a daze.

He remembered the old-fashioned community where his home was located. Many years ago, when everyone didn't have so many cars, the open space between the buildings in the community had not been reduced to a parking lot, and children often played football there.

If you accidentally break the window glass on the first and second floors, you will be scolded and scolded by the people in the house, and it will also cause disputes among neighbors.

But even so, it's hard to ban kids from playing there.

Because children like to play, but they have no place to play, so they can only play in the open space of the community.

He remembered that Hu Lai played football with other children downstairs at that time.

Then he kicked the glass window of an old man's house, and he took this opportunity to punish his son severely, using this as an excuse not to allow him to continue playing football.

Later, everyone gradually installed anti-theft fences, and football could no longer be played in other people's homes, and children would still play in the open space. Hu Lai also tried to re-apply to play football, but he refused.

Later, as cars entered thousands of households, the open space in this old community was gradually filled by those cars.

The children have no place to continue playing football, and Hu Lixin doesn't have to worry about his son running down to play football with him on his back.

Everything seemed to be back on track and he no longer had football in his life.

But he didn't expect, he didn't expect, he took all precautions, but in the end his son became a professional player.

Watching him score one goal after another in the professional league, watching him even put on the jersey of the Chinese national team, and lift the championship trophy in international competitions...

Hu Lixin's heart was extremely complicated.

The wife always blames him and is not happy for her son's success.

But deep in Hu Lixin's heart, he often asks himself, what does success look like?

Is this a success son?

He has only entered the professional league for two seasons, and he is still in the Chinese League One so far, and has never even played in the Chinese Super League. And most importantly...he has a long career ahead of him, who knows what's going to happen next?

After all, this is not a world where good people are rewarded with good rewards and evil people are rewarded with evil.

How dare he be happy for his son's insignificant achievements now...

I think at the beginning he was also happy that he had the opportunity to go to the first team, and then? The results of it?

Who would have thought that man would just kick his knee so hard in training?

Lying on the hospital bed with serious injuries, he thought that the person who did such a thing would not be able to hang out in this industry anymore, after all, this kind of thing is extremely bad.

But the explanation of "It was just an accident during training, I didn't mean it, I didn't want to hurt anyone, I just confiscated my feet." The explanation of all his "crime" was washed away, and the light apology was not expected. be forgiven by the victim.

When he often woke up in his sleep because of knee pain, what he saw was the news about that person's success... He didn't know how to face the world.

He wrapped himself in a quilt in a room with no lights on, and only regarded himself as a seed buried in the ground, a rotten seed that did not germinate.

Don't watch football, don't pay attention to football, don't let football appear in your life, and don't let that person appear in your life again.

But he failed.

All his efforts were in vain, and he never thought that after more than 20 years, it was his son who brought that person into his field of vision again.

The past didn't just pass like this

There are always obstacles in life.

The person he hated the most had a good life and became one of the most successful football players in this country.

Now he is asked to look at his son's prospects in Chinese football with an optimistic view.

Why?

Why can a shameless person go straight to the sky?

Why do mean and shameless people have a great future?

Why is it that a well-dressed beast is admired by others when it becomes famous?

And he can only die alone in failure?

Why?

"The game is over...Flash Star lost 0:2 away to Dashun Golden Arrow. In the first leg of the FA Cup final, they lost two goals. But the result is not the most important thing. The important thing is that this game fully demonstrates How huge is the difference in strength between Shining Star and the second-placed Dashun Golden Arrow in the Chinese Super League... In the face of such a huge gap, even if we return to our home court in the second round, to be honest, we have to admit that Shining Star is almost It is impossible to come back... This is not the kind of contest where two teams are at the same level. Flash Star, as a Chinese team, has been able to reach the finals all the way, and has won everyone's respect, but we also need to see clearly Fact... We often say that there are no obstacles in life, but for Shanxing today, Dashun Golden Arrow is no longer a hurdle, but an almost unattainable mountain. I want to conquer this mountain , we still have a lot of work to do and a long way to go, so everyone has to be patient and understand them..."

On the TV, the commentator of Anton Satellite TV's sports channel spoke in a sad tone, as if he was giving a eulogy to Shining Star.

Of course, he said this to the fans in front of the TV, telling them not to expect too much, calming their emotions, and telling them not to blame the team for this failure.

After all, in the final, everyone wants to win the championship.

But there is only one champion, so if you don't win the championship, is it considered a failure?

of course not.

The team has performed well.

It's just that the strength is not good, what can I do if I lose?

It shouldn't have been expected that Flash Star could beat the Golden Arrow in the away game, let alone expect Flash Star to win the FA Cup.

The defeat of this game may make the team realize that the FA Cup championship is a poisonous dream, and the league is the foundation.

They were able to reach the finals and faced three Chinese Super League teams successively. They have accumulated a lot of experience facing Chinese Super League teams. These experiences may become the capital for Flash Star to relegation in the Chinese Super League next season.

Xie Lan in front of the TV heard what the narrator said, and opened his mouth to refute, but was speechless.

She could only turn off the TV irritably, not wanting to listen to the narrator's deliberately neutral and objective rambling.

"uncle!"

Hu Lixin, who was standing on the edge of the lawn, was awakened by the cries of children.

"Uncle! Play football!"

A child in the distance points to his feet.

Only then did Hu Lixin realize that the football rolled to his feet at some point.

Even though the kids told him to kick the football over, he stooped to pick it up with his hands and tossed it back.

The football landed and bounced behind the children, causing the children to laugh and chase after him, while he himself turned and left.
