Fox in the Penalty Area

From the moment Hu Lai walked out of the terminal of the Capital International Airport, he was surrounded by media cameras, including cameras and video cameras.

CCTV also conducted a live broadcast of the pick-up on the Internet.

The process of Hu Lai's arrival at the Capital Airport to the time he drove to the hotel to meet the national team was broadcast live.

In fact, the specific content is nothing, most of them are CCTV cars following the MPV that Hu Lai called, and the camera occasionally sweeps Hu Lai.

Just such a boring live broadcast actually attracted many people to watch it—at the peak, the number of people online at the same time reached one million.

This time period occurred after Hu Lai arrived at the hotel, shaking hands with the head coach Shi Wuyin and team leader Hong Renjie of the national team.

As the only member of the Chinese team currently playing overseas, Hu Lai gives people a feeling of "highly anticipated" every time he comes back.

Especially this time.

Because this is a play-off for the World Cup qualifiers.

The main matches of the qualifiers have all ended, and those teams that have qualified to directly participate in the World Cup finals are now looking for opponents to warm up and prepare for the World Cup.

The Chinese team will continue to struggle to qualify for the World Cup.

This is already a very good result. You must know that in the previous World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team had already bid farewell to the World Cup at this time. Team".

It is not easy for them to stay on this stage this time, but it also makes everyone have more high hopes for them.

I hope that the Chinese team will not lose the chain in this final kick, and can successfully realize the common dream of generations of Chinese football-going out of Asia and going to the world.

This is the biggest thing in the Chinese sports world during this period. Even those who don't pay attention to football or sports usually know that the Chinese team will compete in the World Cup jointly held in the United States and Canada next year.

...

Lao Fan sat in the duty room of his unit, watching the TV set on the wall.

Sports news is being broadcast on it, and the content is naturally related to the Chinese team's impact on the World Cup:

"...Hu Lai has arrived at the hotel,

Formally reunited with the team and began to prepare for the World Cup qualifier play-offs where the Chinese team played against Uzbekistan at home. For the Chinese team, this is a battle of life and death... Hu Lai is the object that the Chinese team will rely on. In the just-concluded Premier League, he scored three goals in two consecutive games, and his form has been very good recently... Fans all over the country hope that he can bring his excellent state at the club to the national team..."

Lao Fan, who was staring up at the TV screen, sighed with emotion: "I really didn't expect that Lao Hu's son is so promising now... the hope of fans all over the country! Oh, I should have asked Lao Hu for his son's autograph back then." ……Ugh!"

Lao Fan shook his head and sighed.

But when he thought that he had worked with Hu Lai's father and had a good relationship, he became proud again.

He has blown this awesomeness countless times on different occasions, and will continue to blow it.

It's only natural that Lao Hu hasn't come back since he resigned. He is now the father of a big star, so how can he be like a security guard again?

Although it is enviable, Lao Fan is not jealous. As a security guard in a high-end community, he has fully realized the life gap between himself and those rich people, and he is envious, but he has nothing to be jealous of.

Although I don't have much money, I don't have that much pressure.

There is no need to be like Lao Hu. Now that his son has high hopes from so many people, how much pressure should he have? As a father, do you have endless worries?

It's okay to win the next game, but if you lose, don't you have to be scolded along with it?

so……

Everyone has their own difficulties.

I'm not as rich as Lao Hu, but when I watch the game, I won't have any psychological burden at all. If I play well, I will praise it. If I play badly... let's scold me!

Hey!

Lao Fan shook his upturned Erlang legs.

"It doesn't seem like a good schedule to host first and then guests..." Xie Lan murmured nervously while looking at the phone.

"You even know this?" Hu Lixin asked him strangely.

"Don't underestimate me!" Xie Lan snorted, "Let's play the home court first. If we can't kill the suspense, the second round will be suspenseful. In the opponent's home court, anything can happen. But it seems The Asian team is not as dirty as the West Asian team... it's fine."

Xie Lan finally patted his heart.

Hu Lixin really wanted to tell his wife that it's okay not to scare himself.

But after thinking about it, he couldn't come up with any strong evidence to prove that the things his wife was worried about would not happen.

And there is indeed such a saying: In the two rounds of home and away games, it is more advantageous to go first and then go first than to go first and then away.

The Chinese team played Uzbekistan first at home and then away. If Uzbekistan were to score in the first leg, the situation would immediately become dangerous.

Hu Lixin finally found a reason to comfort his wife: "What do you think - we will play away in the second round, so we still have a chance to score more away goals. Do you understand the advantage of away goals?"

Xie Lan thought about it for a moment, and then there was a sudden expression on his face: "Oh, there are also away goals..."

Then she muttered again: "It's a pity that this game is played in the capital, not in Jincheng. I can't go to watch my son play football..."

"If you miss him, send him a WeChat video."

"No, no." Xie Lan waved his hands again and again, "I can't find him now, I'm afraid of putting pressure on him."

Hu Lixin recalled what his wife had said to him before: So many fans across the country are looking forward to the Chinese team entering the World Cup, so the pressure on him is worse than mine?

But he is very wise not to bring up the old matter again and settle the old score with his wife.

He just smiled and shook his head slightly.

His wife has always been such a carefree person, but her mind is more delicate than anyone else...

"Uzbekistan is an old opponent for us. They have three main players who play in the Super League, and we are familiar with them. But on the other hand, they are also very familiar with us. This team The main characteristics of the team are the excellent physical fitness of the players and the execution of tactics and discipline in place. If we cannot connect with each other well, we will be divided and surrounded by them and fall into a situation of fighting alone..."

In the hotel conference room where the Chinese team stayed, assistant coach Li Zhifei was analyzing their next opponents for the players based on video.

In the Asian arena, the Chinese team often played against Uzbekistan. This is true for all age groups.

For the most part, it was Uzbekistan who won, as did all age groups.

However, there are exceptions. Before Hu Lai and his Chinese Olympic team entered the national team, they had never played against Uzbekistan's National Youth Team and National Olympic Team.

So in a sense, most of the young players in the current Chinese national team have not lost to Uzbekistan.

Of course, it can also be looked at from another angle, that is, many players in this national team lack the experience of playing against Uzbekistan...

To add to the title party, it can be said that "many of the main players in this Chinese team have never defeated Uzbekistan."

The three Uzbekistan players mentioned by Li Zhifei who played in the Chinese Super League were their captain, Faruk Namozov in midfield, central defender Akbar Hamlayev, and right midfielder Akbar Namozov. Zam Jabarov.

Among them, captain Namozov has played in the Super League for three seasons, and the latter two only transferred to the Super League this season.

These three are all main players in the national team.

"...Namozov is the captain of Uzbekistan. His technical characteristics are familiar to everyone. He is an attacking midfielder, good at long shots, and has a certain organizational ability, but he is not good at it. His style of play is still forward. Blitz and then score with long-range shots. Uzbekistan is the main scoring point, and the forwards mainly cover for Namozov..."

Faruk Namozov is a legendary player from Uzbekistan. At the age of 34 this year, he is the player with the most appearances and the most goals in the history of the Uzbekistan national team.

He is clearly the midfielder, but he can become the player with the most goals, which shows how strong his scoring ability is.

He played for Shanhailanyue in the Chinese Super League for three years, and he was the unshakable main force of the team in the first two seasons. No matter whether it is strength or character, there is no choice.

However, at the age of 34 this year, Namozov's physical fitness has declined significantly, injuries have begun to increase, and his state is not as good as before. He has lost his main position in the club this season, and his career has obviously come to an end.

Shanhailanyue also decided not to renew his contract, so after this season, he will leave Shanhailanyue, and it is very likely that he will return to Uzbekistan's national league.

Nevertheless, he is still the biggest enemy of the Chinese team in this game.

After all, the league and national team competitions are completely different.

Especially for a Central Asian country like Uzbekistan, playing on behalf of the national team has a status bonus.

This kind of veteran often has nothing to desire in his club career. On the contrary, he has many unfulfilled goals in the national team, so playing in the national team is more exciting and he performs better.

Uzbekistan has never participated in the World Cup. If there is no accident, this World Cup qualifier should also be the last World Cup for Namozov. Of course, he hopes to help the national team enter the World Cup and fulfill his biggest career dream. .

"...I think of Brother Lin..." Wang Guangwei whispered to Hu Lai, Zhang Qinghuan, and Chen Xingyi beside him.

Everyone nodded silently.

In a sense, Farouk Namozov is indeed Qin Lin of Uzbekistan. Both reached the pinnacle of their personal careers and are representative figures of their respective national football.

Qin Lin has won the Asian Footballer of the Year, and Namozov is the same.

Qin Lin is regarded as the last big man in Chinese football, and Namozov is also the same big brother in Uzbekistan.

Qin Lin has been pursuing the goal of leading the national team to the World Cup throughout his entire career. Namozov is still the same.

But he is luckier than Qin Lin. Qin Lin has already quit the national team and retired at the end of last year, completely losing hope of participating in the World Cup as a player. Namozov has one last chance.

Of course, he will lead Uzbekistan to defeat the Chinese team first.

Then go to the South American powerhouse Paraguay for a showdown.

"Speaking of Brother Lin, I heard that the national team originally wanted Brother Lin to come to the capital to watch the game, but he refused..." Zhang Qinghuan said.

"Why did you refuse?" Hu Lai was puzzled.

"Are you afraid of putting pressure on us?"

"Fans all over the country are staring at us. If there is pressure, it's not bad for him..." Hu Lai curled his lips.

"Hu Lai. This is the most threatening player of the Chinese team." Uzbekistan coach Bekzod Rasulov emphasized to his players pointing to the photos on the screen.

"He is a player who is very good at running without the ball to find gaps, so you must stay close to him in the game, and keep your eyes on him! Note, I said that the eyes are fixed on him, this is not a metaphor , Please take this sentence literally.”

Rasulov pointed to his own eyes with two fingers, deepening the impression of the players.

"Because if you lose your mind a little bit, you may miss the goal! At the same time, it should also be noted that he just scored a goal with a long shot in the Premier League game. This is his second long shot goal in recent times. Although he is accepting In the interview, I said that I was fooled, but I still suggest that you always pay attention to his long shots during the game. If he pulls out of the penalty area, someone must post it immediately... "

In the serious tone of the head coach, the players in Uzbekistan looked up at the photo on the screen.

The photo is an official half-length photo of Hu Lai on the official website of the Chinese team. With his hands behind his back and a clean and warm smile like a teenager, he is looking at the players of the Uzbekistan national team.
