Fox in the Penalty Area

Pu Chuntai couldn't help but cast his eyes on Hu Lai in the distance again.

Nearly ten minutes have passed since he told himself to go all out, but the Chinese team did not score during this time.

Didn't you want some swastika solution?

You understand...

Sure enough, you just hope to irritate me with your mouth, and hope that I will lose my cool?

Thirty-year-old Pu Chuntai snorted softly.

Don't think I'm so gullible, boy.

Maybe only young people like Park Guixian will be easily irritated by you, but I won't.

Pu Chuntai is in a pretty good mood now that Hu Lai's conspiracy and tricks have not been succeeded.

Because he thought of the torment and pain that he and Hu Lai had brought to him during the journey to Jincheng by plane together - he said at the press conference that he had nothing to do with Hu Lai, it was just for the media to hear scene words.

It’s just inconvenient for him to tell the truth, because after he said it, the media will ask the bottom line—why does Hu Lai sitting next to you make you so nervous that you can’t sleep? Are you afraid of Hu Lai? Why do you care so much that Holly will take pictures of you? Is it a little hypocritical?

What was originally a simple thing will become extremely complicated.

Besides, if he said he had something to do with Hu Lai, would Hu Lai admit it? 100% do not admit it. In the end, it was nothing more than a verbal lawsuit between the two sides, and no one could convince others. You say yours, and I say mine. Doing so blurs the focus and interferes with normal preparations.

That's why Pu Chuntai chose to cut the mess quickly, saying that it had nothing to do with Hu Lai.

But how could it have nothing to do with Hu Lai?

If his neighbor wasn't Hu Lai, his rest would be fine. If it wasn't for worrying about Hu Lai's twisted thoughts, how could he be in a state of high tension and nervousness throughout the whole process?

So you say it has something to do with Hu Lai?

The relationship is too big!

It is precisely because of this relationship that when Pu Chuntai now finds that Hu Lai's tricks are useless to him, he feels so good.

Although the South Korean team is still one goal behind, he is confident to lead the team to complete the Jedi counterattack.

Let's start with the next attack...

※※※

Hu Lai was closely defended by the South Korean team.

Especially when he enters the penalty area, there will always be someone beside him, and depending on the situation, there will usually be another person cruising by his side.

This led to him not having many opportunities in the second half.

Yang Zhongxun stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed, his expression gradually relaxed.

He has studied Hu Lai seriously.

After all, this person can be regarded as the most threatening player of the Chinese team.

But in fact, Hu Lai is very well studied. To put it bluntly, this is a pure shooter who is good at scoring goals and has a keen sense of smell in front of the goal.

The advantages are outstanding, and the disadvantages are many.

The biggest disadvantage is that he can only move in the penalty area. After leaving the penalty area and away from the goal, his threat plummets, from an efficient scoring machine to a dispensable role player.

So it's easy to defend him, that is to strengthen the defense against him in the penalty area, but you don't have to follow him back and forth in the frontcourt.

As long as Hu Lai leaves the penalty area, or has not entered the penalty area, he can be ignored.

This is what Yang Zhongxun told his players.

Defenders should pay attention to their positions. As long as their positions in the penalty area are not messed up, Hu Lai will not get any decent opportunities.

To put it bluntly, isn't Hu Lai good at using the space to score goals?

Then we don't leave space for him in the penalty area!

Look, isn't Hu Lai being squeezed out of the restricted area now?

This just shows that our defense is successful and effective!

Thinking of this, a faint smile finally appeared on Yang Zhongxun's face.

This may be the first time he felt relaxed and happy in this game-even when Park Chuntae scored a goal, his expression was very dignified.

※※※

"Hu Lai has started to pull out of the penalty area frequently..." He Feng and Yan Kang naturally noticed Hu Lai's new performance.

"The South Korean team has indeed strengthened their defense against Hu Lai in the penalty area. Just now, Hu Lai was surrounded by people in the penalty area. Their captain Cao Xuanhong was completely defensive...Yang Zhongxun's tactic should be to push Hu Lai out of the penalty area Let him stay away from the goal, so that the threat that Hu Lai can create will be greatly reduced... I have to say that from the current situation, Yang Zhongxun's tactics have played a role, and Hu Lai's scoring point has basically been abolished ..."

What Yan Kang said will definitely make many Chinese fans unhappy, but there is no way, he is right.

Hou Lai is indeed the kind of player who is less threatening the farther away from the goal.

It is not necessary to replace Luo Kai and Chen Xingyi, because they have the ability to hold the ball and can break through with the ball.

What else can Hu Lai do besides grab points in front of the goal?

Seeing that he is withdrawing from the penalty area now, he is basically helping to pass the football back and forth and make a transition. Building a wall for his teammates is his greatest tactical role.

Fortunately, the Chinese team is still one point ahead in terms of score. As long as they can hold on, they can still win the game.

Many fans have already called on Shi Wuyin to adjust his tactics and play defensive counterattacks on the Internet. With the speed of Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai harassing the South Korean team's defense, they couldn't completely overwhelm the attack.

Then all the players retreated to the half court, and it was victory if they lasted until the end of the game.

Anyway, there are only fifteen minutes left before the end of the game.

Gritting your teeth and persevering, no matter how lucky you are, it may not be impossible to hold on to this lead.

※※※

When the Chinese team pushed the offense forward, Hu Lai in the penalty area looked around at Cao Xuanhong, who was staring at him - literally staring at him.

Seeing this, Hu Lai smiled, and said in Korean: "Brother, if you just follow me every step of the way, you won't be afraid of your other places falling apart? Let me tell you, my teammates Luo Kai and Chen Xingyun are both very powerful Yes, oh, and Zhang Qinghuan..."

Cao Xuanhong snorted: "They are not as threatening as you."

"Oh, I'm flattered, I'm flattered." Hu Lai touched his heart. "But I still want to remind you, brother, that the tactics you are trying to push me out of the penalty area are wrong. Do you think I can't score if I stay away from the goal? Let me tell you, I have a 'secret weapon' !"

Cao Xuanhong didn't answer Hu Lai's words this time, but just snorted.

He remembered the rumors about Hu Lai. This kid is a language genius and can master all languages, so he often chats with his opponents on the court. Once you chat with him, you will fall into his rhythm and easily lose the ability to observe and judge the surrounding environment. The best thing to do is to ignore him, whatever he says, ignore him.

He had already made a mistake just now, but fortunately he discovered it in time.

What a shit "secret weapon", it's clear that this kid is talking nonsense, trying to interfere with me and distract me from defending him. Maybe he still wants to pull me out of the penalty area and create opportunities for his teammates...

Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Hu Lai shrugged and said, "Hey, I gave you a chance, brother." Then he ran out of the restricted area.

Hearing this sentence, Cao Xuanhong snorted in his heart: It's inexplicable!

He didn't go out with him, but continued to guard his own defense zone - there were his teammates outside. As a central defender, he couldn't leave his position. This was a more deadly behavior than letting Hu Lai go outside the penalty area to get the ball.

Besides, even if the kid was allowed to get the ball outside, so what?

Isn't it just a transfer station to pass the football to other Chinese players?

He even wanted to shout at his teammates: "Let him get the ball!"

Yeah, let him get the ball and see what he can do!

※※※

Seeing Hu Lai withdraw, Zhang Qinghuan passed the football.

Then he ran forward by himself, using Hu Lai as a wall again, and wanted to cooperate with him in hitting the wall.

Seeing this, Liu Mingyuan immediately followed, completely letting Hu Lai go.

What he did was definitely not to make a big deal, but was supported by strong enough evidence.

Before the game, the head coach Yang Zhongxun gave them a detailed analysis of Hu Lai's strengths and weaknesses, and then told them a shocking but true statistic - all of Hu Lai's goals in his career over the years came from In the restricted area!

In other words, none of his goals were scored from outside the box.

What does this mean?

It means he can't shoot from a distance!

Everyone was shocked when they knew this conclusion at first, but after taking a closer look at Hu Lai's small body and his playing style, it also makes sense.

It's normal for a point-grabbing forward like him to be not good at long shots from outside the penalty area.

Therefore, when Hu Lai received the ball outside the penalty area, Korean players including Liu Mingyuan did not post him immediately.

Hu Lai received the ball and turned his head to see that Liu Mingyuan, the midfielder of the South Korean team who was not far away from him, turned his back on him and was running towards Zhang Qinghuan.

He let out a hey in his heart: You guys really made no secret of your contempt for me!

Then don't blame me for not giving you a chance!

Hu Lai, who was completely unguarded, adjusted the football calmly, completed a turn, and controlled the ball more than 30 meters away from the goal.

Facing the goal, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the position of goalkeeper Sun Haimin, poked the football forward lightly, then stepped forward with his left foot and stepped on the left side of the football. Open your arms again, and while maintaining your balance, drive your right leg to swing back.

Incomparably standard shot-kicking style!

Today, I will let you guys see the new weapon that I have practiced hard for half a year:

Super Killer Greater China Cannon! !

The energy bursts first in the core muscles of his greatly strengthened waist, thigh and buttocks, and then travels down, all the way to the straight instep of the right foot.

It explodes like gunpowder in a shell casing, pushing the soccer ball out.

Boom!

It is the sound of the roar of the cannon, and it is also the sound waves of the football vibrating the air.

When Kwon Jung-gao, the defensive player of the South Korean team on the penalty area line, saw that Hu Lai chose to shoot directly, he hadn't reacted yet, as if he didn't know what happened.

It wasn't until the football flew over that he twisted his body symbolically, and he didn't know whether he wanted to block the football with his back, or to avoid this seemingly powerful shot...

But before he could do this set of moves, the football whizzed past him and rushed towards the goal.

When Quan Zhenggao finished his turn, he saw his teammate, goalkeeper Sun Haimin flying in the air, waving his hand out, and pounced on the upper right corner of the goal.

And football... the net behind the goal has been hit!

Seeing this scene, he was dumbfounded.

Not only him, but other teammates in the penalty area, including the captain and central defender Cao Xuanhong, also half-turned and looked back, maintaining this posture, motionless.

Everyone seems to have become a statue.

Until the football in the goal loses all kinetic energy and falls through the air.

It was time to return to these people.

Sun Haimin fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Cao Xuanhong was raising his hands, as if he was going to shout for the goal, but in fact he followed closely... and hugged his head!

Next, all South Korean players heard the loudest cheers of the game!
