Fox in the Penalty Area

When Luo Kai received a call from the head coach of the national team, Shi Wuyin, he was surprised.

Shi Wuyin heard Luo Kai's surprise on the other end of the phone, and asked, "Why the tone? Didn't expect me to call you?"

"Yes, Director Shi... I have let you down..." Luo Kai said in a low tone on the phone.

But Shi Wuzhen laughed: "I'm disappointed that you have been to Veronica for almost three months, and you haven't played a few games yet? Don't make a mistake, Luo Kai. Not everyone can be like Hu Lai. You can adapt to an unfamiliar environment at the speed of light when you go abroad. So in fact, you are the normal performance of most of our Chinese players going abroad. Since it is a normal performance, why should I be disappointed?"

Luo Kai could tell that Guidance Shi was comforting and encouraging himself, and he quickly said, "Thank you, Guidance Shi, for taking your troubles..."

"Anyway, you will go through this hurdle when you go out. Language, living habits, diet, personality... Football itself is the least important hurdle. You can go out in advance to get used to it, and there is nothing wrong with it. Yes. Besides, if you receive high-level training in Europe, you can also improve..." After Shi Wuyin finished speaking, he changed the subject, "I called you this time to inform you that March 19th and 2nd In the past two days on the 13th, the Chinese team has two warm-up matches played in Europe. So you don’t have to go back to your country, just go to Paris and join us.”

"Eh? Guidance Shi, I can still be selected for the national team?"

"Hey, what you said! The purpose of the warm-up match is to test the player's status. I need to check your status, so why can't you be selected for the national team? Whether you can participate in the World Cup depends on your performance..."

Hearing these words, Luo Kai, who was originally in a low mood, immediately cheered up and replied loudly: "Guide Shi, don't worry, I will definitely show my best performance!"

"Okay, as long as you have this sentence."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Kai was still immersed in the excitement of being recognized by the head coach.

The reason why he is depressed is because he feels that with his performance in Veronica, it may be difficult to get called up by the national team. In this way, it is unknown whether he can participate in the World Cup. I can seize the time to improve myself before the World Cup, so that I can perform better in the World Cup.

Unexpectedly, it has been almost three months since he came to Veronica, and he has only had two chances to play off the bench, and the total playing time is less than 20 minutes.

Every time I feel that my body is still running hot, the game is over, and naturally there is no performance.

With such a performance, how could it be possible to be selected for the national team again?

How can he impress Director Shi and give him the chance to participate in the World Cup?

Thinking that he might not be able to participate in the World Cup, Luo Kai's mood was extremely low.

But who can be blamed?

As soon as I heard that I could go abroad to play football, I forgot everything else. I just wanted to come out quickly, but I didn't think that the scenery I saw after I came out was completely different from the scenery I dreamed of in China.

There are some details that I would never have thought of without going abroad. Only when I went abroad did I find that the biggest problems are those that I don’t care about.

But the road was chosen by himself, and Luo Kai couldn't afford to let him go back crying.

So it's deadlocked...

It wasn't until today that he received a call from Director Shi that he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment as he pushed through the dark clouds and saw the sun.

It seems that those days of suffering are over, and there is a bright future waiting for me.

Luo Kai secretly made up his mind that he must seize this last chance and show a better performance in the club.

Today he is different from before. After nearly three months of study, his language has improved a lot. Now he can have simple daily communication with his teammates.

After breaking through the initial difficulties in his heart, he gradually took the initiative to get in touch with his new teammates.

He believes that as long as these obstacles other than football are removed one by one,

With his own strength, he will definitely be able to occupy a place in this team - after his observations in training and games, he is confident that his level is not bad in this team. It's just that teammates and coaches don't know him well enough and don't trust him.

The more Luo Kai thought about it, the better he felt. He put down his phone and prepared to do another set of planks. At this moment, he suddenly thought of Director Shi's first words:

"Don't get me wrong, Luo Kai. Not everyone can be like Hu Lai..."

He froze on the spot.

Of course he knew that Guidance Shi was comforting himself and explaining himself. But no matter how he heard this, he felt that he was inferior to Hu Lai...

The good mood I had just now disappeared a lot.

"Xiao Shi, do you really think that you can improve in Europe without playing games and only accepting training?" Li Zhifei asked Shi Wuyin who had just hung up the phone.

"Of course it's impossible. How can you improve if you don't play games and only train?" Shi Wuyin replied, "But how do you want me to tell Luo Kai?" That's right, you don't play all day and just train. It's a waste of your time. Life and talent' like this? Besides, even if Luo Kai can't play in Veronica until the end of the season, we still have to recruit him. Who told us that the current Chinese team has so many talents? Are you qualified to pick and choose?"

Having said that, Shi Wuyin sighed.

Tatsuya Sugiyama, who was originally the main player of the Japanese Olympic team, later moved to the Bundesliga giants Munich Blue and White. However, due to the lack of appearances in Munich Blue and White this season, it is now rumored that he may lose the Japanese World Cup. list argument.

That's Tatsuya Sugiyama, one of the best young players in Japan, who may not even be selected for the national team's World Cup squad.

The Japanese team has such confidence, because they have a lot of football talents in Japan, and there are more than 50 overseas players, so there is no need to worry about no one being selected.

The Chinese team can't. Even if Luo Kai can't play in Veronica, he is still a player who has studied abroad and has seen the world. If you don't choose him, who else can you choose?

"Besides, Lao Li... I also hope that the national team game can help Luo Kai find the feeling of the game and regain his confidence. This will also be of great help to his club performance. He is unfamiliar in Veronica, but in the The national team, the familiar environment and tactics help him to perform well... In short, it is not easy for our players to play abroad. All of them are pioneers. We have conditions, and we can help a little..."

"You said it's not easy, so why don't I think it's not easy for Hu Lai?" Li Zhifei asked with a frown.

Shi Wuyin waved his hand and said, "You can't say that. How can you, an outsider, see how hard people are working hard? Do you want people to expose all the difficulties in daily life?"

Li Zhifei nodded when he heard the words: "That's true... I only see thieves eating meat, but I don't see thieves being beaten. Behind the scenery of that kid Hu Lai, he must have suffered a lot..."

"So, no one is easy. It's just that Hu Lai hides all the hardships he has suffered with laughter. Luo Kai is not good at hiding..."

"Wang Guangwei! Wang Guangwei is rushing up!"

The Anton Provincial Sports Center was full of voices, and the loud shouts of the commentators of Anton Satellite TV were almost drowned out.

A player on the court is rushing forward with the ball, wearing a striking captain's armband on his arm, it is the team's central defender Wang Guangwei!

He made a gesture to bring the football to the right, but when facing Gao Ruimin who was defending him, he suddenly turned to the left, and then he passed the football to Xia Xiaoyu who pulled aside to meet him.

After passing the ball, he did not slow down, but continued to rush forward, straight into the penalty area of ​​the capital Tenglong!

When Xia Xiaoyu received the ball, his back was facing the attacking direction. He made a movement to give way to the football and turned to the left. After deceiving the defensive player behind him to turn to that side, he suddenly used his right foot to turn the rolling football again. He hooked it back, and then turned to the left of his body.

In this way, he passed by Tamron's defensive players.

His beautiful turn and escape once again won him deafening cheers from the stands.

Next, after Xia Xiaoyu adjusted the football, instead of dribbling the ball forward, he directly kicked...a pass!

He picked up the football and kicked it to the right side of the penalty area.

That's where Wang Guangwei came in. He rushed forward without slowing down. When Xia Xiaoyu picked a pass, he just broke through the Tenglong team's defense and jumped high!

Push the flying football sideways in front of the goal in the air!

"Zhang Qinghuan! Beautiful!!"

Amid the shouts of the commentator, Zhang Qinghuan, who was in front of the goal, turned sideways and kicked the football flying in the air into the capital Tenglong's goal!

The cheers over the Provincial Sports Center reached their peak.

"In the 82nd minute of the game, Zhang Qinghuan's goal helped Shanxing to seal the victory! Facing the old team, Zhang Qinghuan made a painful killer and showed no mercy! Shanxing is about to win the first two consecutive victories of the new season!"

"Wang Guangwei is also very important in this goal. His sudden advance completely disrupted the capital Tenglong's defense...For the sudden addition of Wang Guangwei, Tenglong didn't know who to defend...since in the national team After rushing forward and assisting Hu Lai to score a key goal, Wang Guangwei seems to be fascinated by this way of playing straight into the opponent's penalty area from the back line. Wang Guangwei, who has excellent physical fitness, does have the conditions to do so. As a central defender, his speed is very fast. Fast, and at the same time not bulky, and there's work underfoot..."

After scoring the goal, Zhang Qinghuan ran to look for Wang Guangwei, the two embraced together, and at the same time hooked Xia Xiaoyu, signaling him to hurry up and celebrate.

More teammates rushed up to hug them and celebrate their lead at the last moment.

After the game, Wang Guangwei went to comfort Gao Ruimin, a teammate of the National Olympic team and the national team who was in a bad mood after losing, but Gao Ruimin didn't appreciate it. He widened his eyes and angrily scolded: "Old Wang, you don't talk about martial arts! You The central defender rushed up and fucked!"

Wang Guangwei smiled and did not speak. Zhang Qing Huan beside him said with a smile, "You can only blame your inexperience. The last ball played by the national team against Paraguay was played by Lao Wang. Why did you forget?"

Gao Ruimin has always regarded Zhang Qinghuan as his idol, and now that he has been bullied by his idol, it is impossible for him to go back, so he can only lower his head depressed.

Seeing this, Zhang Qinghuan put his arms around his shoulders again: "Okay, okay, then we have to go to the national team, when the time comes, you and Lao Wang will be teammates..."

Gao Ruimin couldn't hold back: "That's even worse, Brother Huan. Every time Lao Wang goes up, I have to wipe his butt from behind!"

Zhang Qinghuan laughed, and patted Gao Ruimin vigorously.

Looking at the scene where the players of the two teams get together to communicate, the commentator said:

"After the end of this round of the Chinese Super League, the league will be temporarily suspended to make way for the national team. These players who are still fighting in the league just now will go to the national team to gather and report. They will go to Europe for training and warm-up matches to prepare for the competition in June. World Cup... good luck to them, and good luck to Chinese football!"
