Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 144 Playing football with your brain (no)

When Hu Lai saw Pu Chuntai running to celebrate the goal with Barnes, he couldn't help feeling in his heart—this is the gap between the world's top football level and the top level in Asia...

In the World Cup Asian qualifiers, Park Chun-tae was the top scorer of the South Korean team, scoring a total of nine goals, helping the South Korean team to win the World Cup qualification two rounds ahead of schedule.

Although not the top scorer in the qualifiers, these nine goals can also be ranked in the top three results.

There is nothing wrong with saying that Park Chun-tae is the "scorer in charge" of the South Korean team.

But just such a scorer who can walk sideways in Asia, in the Premier League, has repeatedly missed opportunities...

He doesn't think it's because Park Chun-tae's mental quality is not good, so he can't play at the same level in the national team and club team.

In fact, it is very simple, it is the gap between the level of Asian football and the top European football.

In low-level competitions, he is like a fish in water, even flourishing, but in high-level competitions, his performance will naturally be greatly reduced.

Conversely, it is precisely because of the torture and tempering in high-level competitions that he can perform well in underdeveloped competitions.

Is Park Chun-tae not strong enough?

Of course not, as the "Light of Asia", Park Chuntai has been in European football for more than ten years, and his ability and resume are beyond doubt.

It can only show that the confrontation intensity of the Premier League is really strong.

Even for a player like Park Chun-tae, after playing for dozens of minutes in the Premier League, he will have the problem of not being accurate enough to shoot -- although Park Chun-tae is indeed not good at shooting accuracy...

Hu Lai has been in the Premier League for less than a year. He has seen many gaps between European football and Chinese football, and now he has seen the gap between European football and Asian football.

He thought of his friends, whether it was Brother Huan who was a little older or Xiaoyu who was the youngest, they should come out as soon as possible.

Only when you come out can you see the difference.

Once you see the gap, you will have the motivation and direction to work hard.

Otherwise, if you play football in China, you have reached the ceiling but you don’t know it, and you always feel that you are very good... In fact, you are so good!

Come out!

See the vastness of the world,

Only then can there be a lot to do.

※※※

While celebrating with his teammates, Pu Chuntai took time to glance at Hu Lai in the distance, and saw that he was staring at his direction with fascination.

I don't know if I am annoyed that the team's lead is gone, or if I regret that I failed to score a goal before.

The contest between the two of us has just begun, Hu Lai, don't lose your fighting spirit so quickly!

When Pu Chuntai thought this way in his heart, he never imagined what Hu Lai's real thoughts were at this moment...

※※※

The game restarted, and Clark did not let Leeds shrink the defense after conceding the ball, but continued to attack. According to his understanding, since they have already been equalized, why should they defend? Attack! Only offense can regain the lead. What are you doing back at this time?

So Leeds City continued to attack the goal of London Bridge.

London Bridge, who are good at defense, are happy to continue their defensive counterattacks. Now they are not in a hurry after the equalizer.

According to their experience, Leeds City has been attacking for a while, and after finding it difficult to break through the London Bridge defense line, it will become more impatient, and more loopholes will appear behind the defense line. At that time, London Bridge will launch a counterattack, and it only takes one blow to overtake the score.

For London Bridge, a team that is good at defense, as long as they lead by one goal, they have a great chance of winning the game.

Unlike Tony Clark's idea that "a one-goal lead is the most dangerous score in the world", London Bridge's football philosophy is a "1:0ist". First of all, London Bridge did not concede a goal, which means that London Bridge's defense is well done, and secondly, it only scored one goal to win, which fully shows that London Bridge's offensive efficiency is very high.

So 1:0 is the perfect score.

However, on this point, Marco Baltoni, a famous football coach far away in Italy, has a different opinion. The representative of the Italian academy believes that the most perfect result of a football game should be 0:0, because this score means that no one makes mistakes.

※※※

Hu Lai found that from some time on, London Bridge's defensive players cared less about his long shots from outside the penalty area.

Because he actually got the chance to shoot from outside the penalty area without any defense.

He thought about it carefully, and it should have appeared after the fight between Kamara and Montgomery became more and more intense.

Montgomery put the focus of defense on Kamara, and another midfielder Husman will naturally take over the task of defending in the middle.

And Pete Williams and Jay Adams always come forward to threaten London Bridge's defense in the middle, so Hussman's task is a bit heavy.

In this way, if you think about taking strict precautions against your own long-range shots like before, you will naturally be powerless.

Besides, Hu Lai believes that the current situation is also due to the fact that he did not pose a threat to the London Bridge goal at all with several long-range shots before.

It is estimated that it is difficult for Hu Lai to threaten the goal of London Bridge outside the penalty area. Compared with Kamara, Williams, and Adams, the threat outside the penalty area is greater than that of Hu Lai.

Therefore, London Bridge is in the consideration of optimizing the defensive center of gravity, and there are not so many restrictions on Hu Lai's activities outside the penalty area.

The opportunity Hu Lai had been waiting for finally came.

He quickly took advantage of a long-range shot to complete the long-range firepower calibration.

This time he hit the goal frame.

But too positive.

Alberto Bueno didn't even move a step, he just took the football in his arms.

Rather than saying that he threw the ball, it is better to say that Hou Lai directly passed the football back to Bueno-not strong, not tricky, this kind of ball is not difficult for the goalkeeper to save.

As Bueno hugged the football, he was still thinking: Oops, you can finally kick the ball into the goal frame...

That's all, he has no more ideas.

It's just one of many invalid shots in a game, so what's the point?

※※※

After the calibration, Hu Lai did not try long-range shots continuously, but still ran into the penalty area, trying to fight hand-to-hand with the taller and stronger central defender than him, looking for opportunities.

Of course, the result was a failure—with his current body, he couldn't compete head-on with Birx and Martin.

From anyone's point of view, Hu Lai looked like a needless struggle after being disappointed with his long-range shot outside the penalty area.

Some people will look at Hu Lai with sympathy and pity.

But those who knew him well were puzzled.

"Brother Hu, isn't he in a good state today? It feels like the wind is not going well..." In the spacious living room of the big villa, Xia Xiaoyu finally asked the question in his heart.

And those who really knew him would say this:

"I always think he did it on purpose." Wang Guangwei frowned. "He also showed long-range shots when he was training with the national team. It wasn't that bad. Even if there were physical confrontation factors in the Premier League, it wouldn't be like this..."

But only those who understand Hu Lai will see his true thoughts.

"I think he wants to be shady."

Everyone turned their heads to look at Zhang Qinghuan who was talking, and he still had an expression of "I've seen through him a long time ago".

When Zhang Qinghuan said this, everyone nodded after thinking for a while, thinking that there was such a meaning...

When Hu Lai's performance suddenly didn't match the situation they were familiar with, it must be a big (bad) move.

Only Qin Qi disagreed: "No, Pu Chuntai has seen Brother Hu's long shots in the national team. With him around, it is impossible for him not to remind his teammates?"

Zhang Qinghuan chuckled: "That's why his long-range shot was so poor before. It seemed very casual. He would shoot it no matter whether he had a chance. In fact, it was to deliberately make the London Bridge defenders lower their vigilance. Even if Park Chuntai Remind them that after seeing Hu Lai's performance, they probably won't take Hu Lai's long shot too seriously..."

Qin Qi still finds it a bit inconceivable—how can a person be so condescending... No, to such an extent?

He turned to look at Qin Lin, hoping to get an answer from his father.

Qin Lin nodded first: "He can indeed do such a thing."

Then he explained to his son in detail: "Of course he didn't do it casually, he just followed the trend. Those long-range shots that don't seem to be of high quality are indeed because the defensive players at London Bridge are particularly strict with him. Caused. For others, under this kind of defensive intensity, if you don’t play well, you don’t play well. Those who are self-motivated may think about playing hard with the next kick. But Hu Lai will use this phenomenon to mislead Opponent, let the opponent think that his long-range shooting level is really not very good. You see, even Xiaoyu was deceived..."

Xia Xiaoyu blushed beside him.

Zhang Qinghuan patted him on the shoulder, and laughed: "It's okay, there are not many normal people who can keep up with that kid's brain circuit."

After listening to his father's explanation, Qin Qi slapped his hands: "No wonder you always let me play football with my brain, Dad, so you want me to learn from Brother Hu..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Guangwei burst out laughing.

Just after Zhang Qinghuan finished comforting Xia Xiaoyu, he turned his head and smiled at Qin Qi: "Brother Hu doesn't call it 'playing football with your brain', but he calls it 'playing football with bad water'."

Qin Lin also waved his hands again and again: "I didn't ask you to learn from him. It's not that he is bad, but that you can't learn it. You are not like him, and you can't be like him."

"In short, you are not cheap enough, Xiao Qi." Wang Guangwei nodded and made up the knife.

Now it was Qin Qi's turn to blush.

Joyful laughter resounded in the living room until the commentator He Feng interrupted it with a loud shout.

"Hu Lai has a chance!!"

※※※

Hou Lai pulled out of the penalty area again, neither Birx nor Martin followed, they still stood in their positions.

Naturally, there are other teammates outside who are in charge.

Marcus Hussman is at the top of the free throw arc at this time, taking care of the task of defending Hou Lai and Pete Williams by himself.

And his midfielder partner Montgomery was restrained by Kamara.

At this moment, Jay Adams suddenly stepped in from behind and at the same time made a forward pass gesture to Hou Lai.

Hu Lai did turn around towards him, and made a movement of flipping the football that way.

This made Husman, who was in front of him, realize that Houlai was going to pass the football to Adams, so he immediately retreated and rushed to Jay Adams who was running up from Houlai's left.

Adams once scored a goal with a long shot in the last game. It can be said that his threat outside the penalty area is obviously greater than that of Hu Lai.

But just after he rushed over, he found that Hu Lai's left foot was just a feint shot, and he went around above the football and dunked it to the right!

The others turned to the right!

Pass by Hussmann!

Then he adjusted his pace, swung his right leg and pumped the football kicked by his left foot directly towards the goal!

The goalkeeper Bueno standing in front of the door didn't take it seriously when he saw Hu Lai's kick, thinking that if you can hit it within the range of the door frame, you are very good, boy...

But then he discovered that the flight trajectory of the football was different from Hu Lai's long shots before!

not good!

Reacting, Bueno hurriedly moved and leaped towards his left goal area.

But he missed the ball!

bad...

The moment this idea came to his mind, he saw the football fly into the goal!

"Hu is about to shoot again... Hu... oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"!!! He shot right through Bueno's fingers! What a fantastic goal! The long-range shot completed the goal! He had been trying long-range shots before! This time he was not only within the range of the goal frame, but also at a tricky angle! It seems that good luck is finally on his side this time!"

"Coming!!!" In front of the projection screen, Zhang Qinghuan slapped his thigh hard, "He finally succeeded in limping his opponent!"

PS, during the Ching Ming holiday, the children were clamoring to go camping, and they just went to buy a bunch of equipment a few days ago—these equipment are likely to be used once and then thrown at home to pile up ashes. It hurts when I think of paying here. But in order to satisfy the child's wishes, he had to admit it.

Not only the kids, but myself camping for the first time.

So it's not clear what to expect during camping.

It must be inconvenient to code.

And I don’t want to take my computer to work hard and write 3,000 words in a day—this is how I take my wife and children out with relatives during the Spring Festival. My wife and relatives are drinking tea and chatting in the sun on the farmhouse. A person curled up in an uncomfortable chair to type in a dark and cold room. In the end, my wife called me to the rooftop to help them take pictures, so I enjoyed some leisure time.

So I will take two days off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and there will be only one update for the time being. I plan to have a good time with my children and wife, and let my mind empty.

Wait until the end of the Ching Ming holiday (that is, next Tuesday) to resume two more, please understand.

After all, as a father and husband, I code in front of the computer every day, and occasionally I still have to spend time with my family...
