Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 173 Howard

Paraguay really hoped to use the opportunity of Lin Zhiyuan's restlessness after making a low-level mistake to strengthen the offensive against the Chinese team. Hope to score again.

But until the final whistle, they failed to score again.

Many Chinese fans, including He Feng, are also worried that Lin Zhiyuan's low-level mistake will affect the state of the whole team.

But what they feared didn't happen.

This time, the boys of the Chinese team withstood the pressure and the opponent's offensive, and finally defended the score of 1:3 to the end.

"It's okay, it's just two goals behind. And we still have an away goal...we still have a chance!" After the game, He Feng looked at the Chinese players who were walking down the field with their heads down to comfort them, and also Comfort the Chinese fans in front of the TV.

If it is 1:2, I believe his tone of speech will be completely different at this time.

The players of the Chinese team will not have this expression when they leave the field...

Although they say "there is still a chance", many people know in their hearts that hope has become very slim.

Of course, you can't say "no chance", because in fact there is still a chance, but it's hard to say how likely this opportunity will be realized...

The most important thing is that Hao De has a sprained ankle, and no one knows whether he can make a comeback before the game four days later. As one of the best young goalkeepers in China, Lin Zhiyuan's performance was so hip that people's trust in him plummeted, almost to zero.

In this way, who will guard the goal for the Chinese team in the next game?

Will Sun Rong, another goalkeeper of the national team, start?

As the main goalkeeper of Shanhai Sailors, Sun Rong was originally the second goalkeeper in the national team, but since Lin Zhiyuan came, he has gradually become the third goalkeeper.

Now that the first goalkeeper is injured, and the second goalkeeper pulls his hips, shouldn't the third goalkeeper be on top?

But Sun Rong lacks the experience of playing in the national team, because most of the time the position of the main goalkeeper of the national team belongs to Hao De. In such a critical game, many people have no idea what Sun Rong can do.

Before the second round kicked off, a cloud had already shrouded the Chinese team.

Back in the locker room, the atmosphere was still a little awkward and dull.

Everyone knows that although they have an away goal, they are two goals behind on aggregate, and the prospects are still not optimistic.

And the most important thing is, as long as everyone thinks that "if it weren't for Zhiyuan Lin's low-level mistake, we might have already drawn 2:2 with Paraguay", and everyone will feel uncomfortable.

Before Lin Zhiyuan conceded the goal, the performance of the Chinese team was indeed very good. It is not nonsense to say that they may draw with Paraguay.

When every Chinese team player walked past Lin Zhiyuan, he would take an extra look at him, and the meaning in that look was self-evident.

In the locker room, Lin Zhiyuan, who was usually carefree and carefree, lowered his head and remained silent today, just packing his things silently.

Others are not in the mood to chat and joke. If they wanted to say something, everyone could not help lowering their voices and whispering.

In this embarrassing and uncomfortable atmosphere, the players of the Chinese team hastily finished their post-match tidying up, packed themselves and their bags, took a bus and went straight to the airport—they needed to take the plane specially chartered for them by the Football Association , from Asunción to Lingnan, China, where the second round of the match between the two teams will be held.

This was originally a measure of the Football Association to allow the Chinese team to concentrate on the game and increase the chances of the team's promotion, but now I don't know if it is a waste of work in the end...

"Eh? Eh, it's dangerous!"

With a shout from He Feng, Ramirez picked out the goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan who was attacking recklessly, and then succeeded in scoring an empty goal before Wang Guangwei could kill him.

This scene was repeatedly broadcast on the domestic network after the game.

Although Luo Kai scored an away goal, everyone's attention is now focused on Lin Zhiyuan's mistake.

Discussions about this ball can be seen everywhere on the Internet, and every discussion is in full swing.

And no matter how they discuss it, everyone is basically scolding Lin Zhiyuan.

Even the fans of the South China Tigers didn't speak up for Lin Zhiyuan this time. Because that mistake of his was so stupid...

Some netizens jokingly said: "I really didn't expect that there would be a person who could make the fans of the capital Tenglong, the fans of the Shanhai Sailors, the fans of the Lingnan South China Tigers and the fans of the Hedong Thunderbolts all let go of their prejudices, unite together, and unify their caliber... Lin Zhiyuan did it He can go down in history for this alone!"

"As a South China Tigers fan, I'm not surprised that Lin Zhiyuan made this mistake. Because of his character and style of play, it's really easy for him to make such a problem. He likes a person who is so arrogant, and he always thinks about it. It’s all about being handsome, isn’t it a matter of time before you make a mistake?”

In an interview after the game, Shi Wuyin was asked what he thought of Lin Zhiyuan's mistake:

"I also don't understand why he did this. This kind of mistake should not have happened to him. He may just want to catch the opponent by surprise and directly attack to control the football... This goal could have been avoided. But I think It's normal for youngsters to make mistakes and I won't lose faith in him because of this mistake. The important thing is that we have an away goal..."

As the head coach, he did not avoid talking about it, but none of the critics accused Lin Zhiyuan, but chose to stand with him.

A reporter raised his hand and asked, "Will Lin Zhiyuan start the next game?"

Shi Wuyin said: "We need to determine the condition of Hao De's injury first..."

In the end, in the face of angry Chinese fans and public opinion, Shi Wuyin still chose to speak for Lin Zhiyuan again: "It is normal for young people to make mistakes. I don't think we should hold on to them. The important thing is to be united. Whether it is our team or the general environment, It's all about being united. There's one more round in the game and we'll fight until the end."

Although the Chinese team lost 1:3 in the away game, the hope of advancing was very slim, but when they arrived in Lingnan, they were warmly welcomed by Lingnan fans at the airport.

"Take dreams as horses and live up to your youth!"

"Lingnan fans will fight with you until the last moment!" They pulled up banners like this to cheer for the Chinese team.

This made the players of the Chinese team who lost the game finally have a rare smile on their faces, and waved to the fans outside through the car window.

Only Lin Zhiyuan, still with a dull face, shrouded himself in "low air pressure".

This is logically his home field, but he doesn't feel at all relaxed about going home.

On the contrary, seeing these enthusiastic fans, he would think of his mistakes.

How enthusiastic these fans are about the current Chinese team is how much guilt he feels in his heart.

I can't cheer up at all.

The first thing the Chinese team did when they arrived in Lingnan City to prepare for the final play-off game was to arrange for Hao De to go to the hospital for a detailed injury examination.

To decide whether he can catch up with the final critical battle.

But the results are not optimistic.

"It's definitely not going to be able to catch up. The sprained area is already swollen. It's useless to seal it... Even if he doesn't feel pain, it will directly affect the effect of his movements." The authoritative sports medicine expert pointed to the film that was taken. Head coach Shi Wuyin and team leader Hong Renjie said.

The two looked at each other, and they were not surprised by this result. What made them worry now was how to tell Hao De the news.

"He will definitely be very disappointed. He can only be a spectator at the most critical moment...especially after meeting Lin Zhiyuan..."

"It can't be helped..."

Hong Renjie dragged Shi Wuyin to whisper in the hospital corridor, discussing what to do.

"Go tell Hao De, Lao Hong."

"Why me? What about you?"

"Have you worked with Hao De longer than me, me? I'll go with you."

"You kid... let me be the bad guy?"

"I'm worried that Hao De will have other ideas. After all, I recruited Lin Zhiyuan into the national team..." Shi Wuyin still expressed his concerns.

This reason successfully convinced Hong Renjie.

After all, everyone can see that when Shi Wuyin recruited Lin Zhiyuan, he came to compete with Hao De.

In the domestic league, Lin Zhiyuan is gaining momentum, and some media and fans can't wait to put the label of the Chinese team's future main national team on Lin Zhiyuan.

It is human nature for Shi Wuyin to worry that Hao De has opinions on him...

Thinking of this, the two finally made a division of labor. Hong Renjie came to tell Hao De the result of the inspection.

But before going to Hao De, Hong Renjie asked: "Are you still planning to let Lin Zhiyuan start?"

Shi Wuyin hesitated to speak at first, and then said: "I haven't made up my mind yet."

Hong Renjie nodded: "Now everyone in the team doesn't trust him very much... A goalkeeper without the trust of his teammates is really difficult."

Shi Wuyin didn't speak, and lowered his head towards the lounge where Hao De was.

When the two entered the lounge, they saw Hao De's eyes cast on them.

Seeing this gaze, Hong Renjie couldn't help hesitating for a moment, opened his mouth, and spoke a few beats later: "Old Hao...you won't be able to fight in the next game..."

Hao De lowered his head: "I guess so. Even if you barely play, your condition is not good. If you make a mistake or something, you will become a national sinner..."

Hearing what he said, Hong Renjie couldn't help but glance at Shi Wuyin next to him. I was afraid that Shi Wuzhen thought that Hao De was mocking Lin Zhiyuan, but Shi Wuzhen remained expressionless, as if he didn't hear this.

Hao De raised his head again and looked at Shi Wuyin: "Director Shi, will you start Lin Zhiyuan in the next game?"

Facing this 34-year-old goalkeeper who has played forty-five times for the national team, Shi Wuyin shook his head: "Not sure yet."

What Hao De said next shocked the other two present:

"If possible, I think Lin Zhiyuan should be given another chance to guide him."

Shi Wuyin stared at Hao De with wide eyes, while Hong Renjie asked directly in surprise: "Old Hao, you..."

"Lin Zhiyuan is indeed very talented. I don't want him to be delayed for a few more years because of this mistake." Hao De explained calmly.

"This is at the price of the next four years of Chinese football..." Hong Renjie persuaded.

"Not necessarily." Hao De shook his head.

Shi Wuzhen didn't let the two people argue on this topic, but waved his hands: "I will consider your opinion, Hao De."

Hao De has no objection, he is not the head coach after all, he can only offer advice. If the head coach did not take his own suggestion in the end, he would have nothing to say.

Shi Wuyin asked: "But I'm curious, why are you still optimistic about Lin Zhiyuan?"

Hao De smiled: "I know how much pressure it is to be a goalkeeper, I also came here like that..."

Only then did Shi Wuyin recall that Hao De, the main goalkeeper of the Chinese team, also had a "ridiculous" time when he was young. His big mouth and wanton publicity on the court have offended many people and been criticized. bombed.

Therefore, the early stage of his career was not smooth, and he took many detours.

Some people later said that was the price of his growth.

Today's Hao De has become calm and introverted, and he can't see that he was called a "bad boy" in his early years.

People say he has finally matured.

He also became the main goalkeeper of the national team.

Forty-five national team appearances are not the most in the Chinese team. On the one hand, it is due to the particularity of the goalkeeper position, and on the other hand, it is also due to the detours he took when he was young.

"If you can give me more trust after I got into trouble, maybe I will develop better..." Hao De said. "Until now, I can't help but think this way. I know it's selfish. Why should the whole team take responsibility for my mistakes? But you must always give young people a chance to correct their mistakes, right?"

Shi Wuyin and Hong Renjie were silent after hearing this.
