Fox in the Penalty Area

"Hu Lai, there is such a thing, let me tell you..."

After the last training before the match, the national team leader Hong Renjie approached Hu Lai with a tone of discussion.

"Just say whatever you want, leader Hong." Hu Lai seemed very generous.

"That... do you want to attend the pre-match press conference?"

"OK."

Seeing that Hu Lai answered so simply, Hong Renjie thought that Hu Lai didn't know the subtleties of this matter, so he explained to him: "Do you really want to participate? Because of the recent incident with Pu Chuntai, public opinion is a little sensitive to you... "

Of course Hu Lai knew what Team Leader Hong was talking about, he waved his hands nonchalantly: "That's okay, Team Leader Hong. I can handle it."

"No... I mean, don't talk nonsense when the time comes, and come up with something..." Hong Renjie quickly explained.

"Ah? Ha!" Seeing that he had misunderstood, Hu Lai quickly let out a dry laugh to cover up, "Don't worry, Captain Hong, my biggest advantage is that I am calm and experienced, and the city is quite deep. I won't say what I shouldn't say On this point, Wang Guangwei, the old king, can testify for me!"

Hong Renjie thought to himself, just opened his mouth to talk nonsense like you kid, I don't believe what you said.

If the press officer hadn't said that it was best for Hu Lai to clarify the recent rumors, he wouldn't have asked Hu Lai to attend the press conference.

In just two days, the rumors have intensified, especially with various voices on the Internet and foreign media. The above are worried that if they don't clarify, three people will become tigers, and the fakes will become true. At that time, it will be a big problem if it spreads out and affects the image of Chinese football, or more seriously, directly discredits the country's image.

In fact, why didn't the rumors be refuted before the matter spread in the first place? It was because Hong Renjie felt that this matter was too absurd. What is there to clarify?

Anyone with a discerning eye and a normal mind knows this is fake—how could Hu Lai cause Pu Chuntai to have an epileptic seizure? He doesn't have any special abilities.

As a result, things turned out like this later. The Korean media criticized Hu Lai, seeming to concentrate all the negative images of China on Hu Lai alone, as if Hu Lai was the root of all evils for the low level of Chinese football.

Later, the superiors told him that he should never underestimate the low IQ of foreigners. In recent years, anti-intellectualism has become more and more popular in foreign countries, and people will believe any nonsense.

And never overestimate the professional ethics of the media, especially the foreign media. They can turn black into white, and they can double-standard very frankly. You think they are shameless,

People still think you are preposterous.

So Hong Renjie had no choice but to come to Hu Lai, hoping that he could clarify the matter between him and Park Chuntai at the pre-match press conference, regardless of whether the other party believed it or not, at least expressed our attitude, which is very important .

Shi Wuyin was a little disgusted with this decision: "The match will be played soon, but Hu Lai is still called to 'trial' for this matter. I think this is in the opponent's hands!"

But he was just complaining, he had nothing to say about this matter, and he couldn't decide anything.

It was Hu Lai who comforted him: "Don't worry, Director Shi, they won't affect me."

Then he wore the sports uniform of the Chinese national team and went to the pre-match press conference with Shi Wuyin.

In addition to Chinese journalists, there were also many South Korean journalists who came to the press conference.

And all of them looked at Hu Lai with a bad face, as if they were coming to ask the teacher for their crimes.

This made the Chinese journalists present very upset-you blame our players for the problems of your own players, sorry? !

Don't think you can do whatever you want because you are shameless!

Many Chinese journalists have already decided that they must confront Korean reporters at this press conference, and they must not let the rhythm of the press conference fall into the hands of Korean journalists.

Chinese reporters and South Korean reporters sat at the press conference with a clear distinction, as if everyone could see the "Chu River Han boundary" between the two.

Hong Renjie looked at Hu Lai worriedly from below.

Obviously, the atmosphere is not very friendly...

He wasn't worried about Hu Lai's disadvantage, he felt that no one could make him suffer.

What he was worried about was that Hu Lai said something he shouldn't have said, but was used by the other party instead...

In the regular press conference, head coach Shi Wuyin introduced the team's preparations.

Today, Shi Wuyin's somewhat abnormal introduction was very detailed, and his speech speed also slowed down.

Everyone could see that he deliberately wanted to reduce the time for reporters to ask questions later.

But what should come will come.

When it was the turn of the reporters to ask questions, the Chinese and South Korean reporters raised their hands at the same time.

The news officer of the national football team asked two Chinese reporters to ask questions, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the South Korean reporters. After Shi Wuyin answered the second Chinese reporter's question, the Koreans shouted directly in their seats: "This is not fair! Are you There are ghosts in your heart, so you deliberately don't give us a chance to ask questions?!"

Obviously the South Korean reporter also came, but it really doesn't make sense not to let people ask questions, the press officer hesitated for a moment.

At this moment, Hu Lai leaned in front of the microphone and said, "Don't ask them to ask questions. I know what they want to ask. I'm here to explain the situation."

Then he switched to Korean and looked at the Korean reporters: "That's right, Park Chun-tae and I are the lead seats on the plane. But after getting on the plane, he pulled up the baffle, so I can't see what's going on on his side." .Except for a brief chat after we got on the plane, there was no communication. So I don’t know what happened to him. When I got off the plane, I found that his face was really ugly, but I thought he was airsick. I also invited him to go with me, but he didn't agree, so I got off the plane by myself. The situation is just like this.

"I am also very sorry for what happened to Park Chuntai, because I also hope to meet him in the best form in the game... As the only two Asian players who play in the Premier League, the relationship between me and him Time is not a life-and-death enemy, but a comrade-in-arms. We all shoulder the responsibility of winning glory for Asian football. So what reason do I have to 'cast a spell' on Park Chuntai? Besides, if I really have that ability, the Chinese team will still use it here to fight Are you dead? We went to the World Cup earlier, okay? Because every enemy who played against the Chinese team will be headed down by me, foaming at the mouth and twitching all over the court, and then we won without fighting! Ha!"

Having said that, Hu Lai laughed, as if he had told a very funny joke.

But none of the South Korean reporters in the audience smiled, and they all looked at Hu Lai seriously.

Facing these people, Hu Lai spread his hands together: "I'm done talking. Tomorrow's game, I hope to bring football back to football. When we win you, don't say I have any special powers."

As soon as he finished speaking, some South Korean reporters raised their hands, and some stood up directly, trying to ask him questions. There was a commotion at the scene.

Hu Lai raised his hands and pressed down: "I have said everything I need to say, so I will not answer any more questions. I announce that the press conference... is over!"

After speaking, he got up and left.

The South Korean reporters were anxious, they shouted: "You can't go, we haven't asked any questions yet!"

Hu Lai turned a deaf ear to this, just raised his hand and waved, and took a step ahead.

Seeing this, Shi Wuyin also got up and left with Hu Lai very simply.

The press officer announced loudly behind him: "I declare, the press conference is over!"

A Chinese reporter yelled at the South Korean reporters in English: "Our players are not criminals and are not obligated to accept your 'interrogation' here. He has already given you face by telling the situation! Don't give me shame!"

The South Korean reporter defended: "We just want to know the truth..."

"This is the truth!"

"Go to British Airways for the truth, what kind of wild things are you doing on our Chinese territory?!"

There was a lot of noise at the scene... I could vaguely hear some words like "Bangzi" and "Stealer of the Country".

And the instigator has completely left here.

※※※

Shi Wuji caught up with Hu Lai and sighed: "I know you have restrained enough, but things have turned out like this. Let me tell you, as long as you appear at the press conference, it is destined."

But Hu Lai smiled nonchalantly: "So what, are we still afraid of them? Director Shi, if I just said that I won against them, I won't put any pressure on you, right?"

Shi Wuyin glared at him: "What's the pressure? If you say this or not, don't we all win in the end? If we can't win, it's over."

Judging from the current situation of the group, the South Korean team ranked first with 18 points and qualified ahead of schedule. The Chinese team ranked fourth with nine points, one point ahead of fifth place Qatar and two points behind third place Saudi Arabia.

If the Chinese team loses to the South Korean team or draws with the South Korean team, it means that it is only theoretically possible for them to get third in the league.

Because if the points and rankings are calculated based on the premise that the Chinese team lost to the South Korean team, if Saudi Arabia loses to Qatar, then Qatar will surpass China with 11 points. will drop to fifth place. With the last round of the group stage remaining, the Chinese team not only has to beat Qatar in an away game, but also has to count on Saudi Arabia to lose to the UAE in an away game... How is this possible?

But if Qatar and Saudi Arabia draw, the situation is the same as the one above. The Chinese team will beat Qatar away and expect Saudi Arabia to lose away to the United Arab Emirates.

And if Saudi Arabia wins Qatar, it will be the worst result. The Chinese team and Qatar will directly lose the qualification to compete for the third place, GAME OVER.

Under the premise of a tie between the Chinese team and the South Korean team, the Chinese team has accumulated 10 points. Saudi Arabia won Qatar with 14 points, and the Chinese team and Qatar were out at the same time. Saudi Arabia lost to Qatar with 11 points, Qatar also scored 11 points, surpassed the Chinese team, and the Chinese team fell to fifth. Saudi Arabia and Qatar are tied, Saudi Arabia has 12 points and Qatar has 10 points. In both cases, the Chinese team must first defeat Qatar in the last round, and then count on the UAE to give it a try. They can draw or beat Saudi Arabia at home. The conditions are very harsh.

So looking at it this way, in tomorrow's game, the Chinese team has no choice but to win South Korea.

Shi Wuyin was planning to beat South Korea at home from the very beginning, and never thought of such a thing as a draw.

"So, we have to win anyway. If we win, they will still be unhappy. Being unhappy now is also unhappy. In short, they must be unhappy. It's better to be unhappy now, so they can buy it early and enjoy it early. Maybe it's early Do a good job of mental construction, so it won't be so uncomfortable when you really lose the game?"

Hu Lai's tone of thinking about the Koreans made Shi Wuyin laugh: "So you're still thinking about them?"

"I've always been happy to help others." Hu Lai smiled honestly and kindly. "Where can you be as narrow-minded as Koreans, don't you think, Director Shi?"

Shi Wuyin smiled helplessly and shook his head: "Your mouth..."

At the Korean team's pre-match press conference later, Park Chun-tae also attended as a player representative.

He clarified the rumors on the Internet, saying that his physical condition had nothing to do with Hu Lai, it was simply because he didn't rest well on the road and was too sleepy.

The internet rumors about his seizures are all rumours.

In the end, he hopes that everyone will focus on the football game itself, and he himself will focus on the next game.

Both parties have said so. Although conspiracy theories on the Internet cannot be stopped, at the media level, at least there will be less nonsense.

The fact that he was taken to the hospital by ambulance was over.

However, the South Korean reporters were suffocated by Hu Lai, and they were all suffocated.

Just wait for the Chinese team to lose to the South Korean team, and use Hu Lai to worship the sky.

The Chinese media are all sweating for the Chinese team and Hu Lai-the hatred value is full, if this is really lost, the sticks don't know what to do!

But if they win... No matter how you look at it, it will be very difficult. Even if the South Korean team does not send the strongest lineup to China, the strength gap between the two sides is still very large.

What if you really lose?

If you really lose...then it's all due to the Korean media's hype that Hu Lai "cast a spell" on Park Chuntai before the game, which greatly affected the preparations of Hu Lai and the Chinese team. It's all Koreans who are shameless and indiscriminate. Lost. The Koreans are victorious, despicable and shameless!
