Fox in the Penalty Area

After Hu Lai scored a goal, Leeds City suddenly recovered and launched a defensive counterattack.

This greatly surprised the London Bridge players and coaches, as well as the commentator Cox: "My God, what did I see? Tony Clark would choose to defend because of a goal lead instead of continuing Offensive, trying to expand the lead... I suspect that coach Clark has been secretly replaced, otherwise it would be difficult for me to explain why this happened... I thought he would go crazy forever!"

If Clark could hear Cox complaining, he would say: I am crazy, not stupid!

Relying on Leeds City's unexpectedly shrinking defense, there is another weak London Bridge.

In the end, the home team actually kept the lead until the end of the game!

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the cheers above the Flanders Stadium also climbed to the peak.

"The game is over! Leeds City beat London Bridge 2:1 at home! After losing at home to Boscombe in the sixth round and the League Cup loss to the Royal Gunners, Leeds City has achieved two consecutive victories in the league, and this Both victories against the top seven teams in the league... It's amazing! A team whose goal was to avoid relegation before the season is now in second place!"

Because Athletic Manchester, which was originally ranked second, was upset by Walderhampton 2:0 at home and lost its second place in the league. Leeds City, who beat London Bridge at home, took a smooth step forward, accumulating 18 points, surpassing Manchester Athletic with 16 points.

The third place in the league is already a position that Leeds City fans could not even imagine before, and now they have gone one step further and come to second place. Many Leeds City fans even feel that they are dreaming, and pray that they will never wake up...

The players of Leeds City are celebrating their victory.

The players at London Bridge looked very frustrated.

Many of them fell to the ground in pain and covered their faces with their hands when the final whistle sounded.

Park Chun-tae is one of them.

He tried his best in the final stage of the game, hoping to equalize the score for the team.

But helplessly facing Leeds City, which is shrinking defensively, Park Chun-tae, who is only fast and not good enough at his feet, lacks the means to break through this dense defense.

He later also tried to hit a long shot outside the penalty area, but was blocked by the united Leeds City players.

In this way he fought until the last minute,

Still can only accept the bitter ending of failure.

For the rest of the London Bridge players, maybe they just lost a game.

But for Pu Chuntai, what he lost was not just a game, nor was it just as simple as losing to Hu Lai once.

At the age of 30, he is at the peak of his career, and his body, skills, and experience are improving day by day.

The soleus muscle injury has also healed.

Without any excuse, he lost to Hu Lai who was eight years younger than him.

This gave him a sense of pathos with no way out.

Park Chun-tae, who was lying on the turf of the Flanders Stadium, heard the Leeds City fans in the stands shouting "HU!" "HUUUU!"

Young people are terrible.

This momentum is unavoidable—Korean football will usher in a powerful and terrifying opponent in the future. The situation in East Asian football is no longer that they and Japan are competing for supremacy, but will officially enter the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" stage.

Pu Chuntai thinks so not only because Chinese football has a villain, but also the impact of last year's Olympic Games and the previous top 12 matches on Park Chuntae, which made him believe that Chinese football definitely has more than just one villain.

Thinking about those young people represented by Park Guixian... I'm afraid they still don't know anything about it and have no sense of crisis at all.

Park Chun-tae finally got up from the ground. He couldn't appear in the eyes of Korean fans with such a decadent image.

He is the hero of Korean football, how can a hero be so downcast?

He came to the south-west corner stand and joined several other teammates who were not crushed by the defeat to applaud the London Bridge fans who came with the team.

Leading the charge was none other than James Montgomery, captain of London Bridge.

The sharp-edged features of the thirty-two-year-old London Bridge captain conjure up the image of a resolute warrior.

Holding the captain's armband in his hand, he raised his arms and applauded continuously.

And those frustrated London Bridge fans were also revived because of his arrival. They applauded Montgomery and other London Bridge players behind him, gave a thumbs up, and shouted: "It's okay! Keep working hard in the next game." !"

For a time, there were two kinds of applause at the Flanders Stadium:

One is for the victors, the other is for the losers.

After the game, Tony Clark was asked such a question by the reporters at the press conference: "Mr. Clark, Hu said in an interview after the game that his long-range goal was lucky. Is the team right? Hu's long-range shots for targeted training?"

Really said so!

Seeing that Hu Lai was as expected, Clark suddenly felt that his tacit understanding with Hu Lai was one step closer.

He naturally knew how to answer this kind of question, so he coughed and said: "Yes. We found that the most suitable area for Hu Lai's activities is in the penalty area, and his playing style is also the closer to the goal. The more threatening. So there was no previous I thought about improving his long-range shooting ability... To be honest, I was surprised that Hu was able to score such a beautiful long-range shot in the game. Because he did not have such a precedent in training..."

"It is reported that he once scored a long-range goal in the national team game..."

"Yes, I heard." Clark replied simply.

"Then will the team consider conducting special long-range shooting training for Hu after this?"

"This... I have also noticed this, but it still depends on the player's personal wishes. At present, he still prefers to move in the penalty area. This game is also because London Bridge's defense in the penalty area is really good In desperation, he took more shots outside the penalty area... This game is a special case and cannot be used as a reference." Clark didn't say anything, he hadn't communicated with Hu Lai, and he could only rely on a little tacit understanding. It's come to this point.

Next, he will have another interview with Hu Lai to discuss how to cheat opponents... No, they will discuss how to use their brains to play football.

But this matter can only be discussed after Hu Lai returns from the national team - he has already gone directly to London to fly back to China to participate in the World Cup qualifiers, and then the league will also enter a truce.

Listening to Clark's answer, the South Korean reporters complained in their hearts:

Hu Lai also said that he was fooled after the top 12 match with us, and this game is still fooled...how can there be so many good things that always make you fooled?

They were generally not in a good mood, because Park Chun-tae failed to score in the end.

The match that I had been looking forward to since the top 12 ended in a hasty ending.

If they had known this was the result, they would not have tried to hype the "East Asian Derby" at the beginning... It is entirely conceivable how the Chinese media and fans would laugh at them.

This topic was brought up by the Korean media itself, and there is really a bad feeling that stealing chickens can't make money.

Pu Chuntai was very generous in the interview after the game. He praised Hu Lai's performance and gave Hu Lai a very high evaluation.

But the South Korean reporters didn't want to congratulate Hu Lai for winning the victory at all, and even wanted to curse his poor performance in the national team, which caused the Chinese team to lose the qualifying playoffs, so that the South Korean reporters could save a little face.

They don't care about something like an "Asian football community with a shared future". Anyway, it has nothing to do with them whether there are more or less places in the Asian Football World Cup. The South Korean team will always have a place in the World Cup.

There is no need to cheer for Asian football.

Only those who want to hitch a ride like Chinese football care about the results of Asian football in the World Cup...

After all, with one and a half places missing or something, their hope of participating in the World Cup is even more slim, although it is already very slim...

Chinese media also often report on Korean football, especially Park Chun-tae's performance in European football.

However, the Korean media rarely reported on Chinese football, and before Hu Lai went to play in the Premier League, they were almost indifferent. In their eyes, what is there to report about the seriously backward Chinese football? What a waste of media resources.

After Hu Lai landed in the Premier League, before even playing a game, the Chinese media continued to pay attention and follow up reports, which was very lively. The South Korean media, as if they didn’t have this matter, rarely mentioned it, and if they did mention it, they would rely on Park Sun-tae, with a "Versailles" tone.

What "After Pu Chuntai landed in the Premier League, the Chinese player Hu Lai also took advantage of this shareholder style and was favored by the Premier League relegation team Leeds City..."

What "Although Hu Lai didn't play a minute of the game after joining Leeds City, the Chinese media and fans are still excited for Hu Lai joining Leeds City. After all, this is the first player in their football history to play in the Premier League— - oh, haven't actually played in the Premier League yet - it's understandable to be so excited..."

And he is not optimistic about Hu Lai's development prospects in the Premier League, saying that Leeds City chose to sign Hu Lai because of the sponsorship of Chinese companies. With Hu Lai's physical condition and technical characteristics, there is no way for him to stay in the Premier League. Maybe after working as a water dispenser administrator for half a season, he can return to Anton Shining Star on loan, and hastily end the Chinese football going overseas...

Otherwise, after Hu Lai's three games and five goals, the Chinese fans chose to play against the Korean fans and the media crazily. Isn't it because they can't bear the curse and ridicule of the Koreans' hope for their whole village.

They say everything happens for a reason. However, when the South Korean media and fans accused Chinese fans of touching Piao Chuntai after Hu Lai's three games and five goals, and did not respect Park Chun-tae, they would never think about how they treated Hu Lai before. After all, how could the Great Universe be wrong? The fault must be someone else!

On the flight from London to the Chinese capital, the cabin lights were dimmed, the sun visors were lowered, and the cabin was dark and silent.

Flight attendants also suspended cabin services.

Most of the passengers on the plane fell asleep.

Hu Lai was among them.

Just after the match against London Bridge, he arrived in London earlier than London Bridge, and took the evening flight back to China to compete.

He was indeed very tired after playing a game, so instead of going to the toilet to use the [Physical Potion], he chose to let himself take advantage of this exhaustion to sleep directly on the plane, and healed the jet lag by the way.

Get ready for the next two games against Uzbekistan.

In the next play-offs, no matter whether the opponent is Uzbekistan or Paraguay, he will face it with the best physical condition.

This is the closest he is to the World Cup, and he doesn't want to wait another four years!

PS, two updates will resume tomorrow!
