Fox in the Penalty Area

When the football was shot by Hou Lai, his left foot also left the ground, and then he was knocked off balance by Mousavi around him and fell to the ground.

However, Hou Lai's neck has always remained in one direction - Algeria's goal.

He wanted to see the result of his shot with his own eyes.

He saw the Algerian goalkeeper Samari jumping across, he saw the football go around the latter's fingers, and finally he saw the ball flew across the goal line and rolled up the goal net.

Only then did he look away.

Then he unloaded and rolled around on the ground, took advantage of the situation to get up, and ran to the corner flag area in the distance with open arms.

The huge cheers at the Mercedes stadium were like a gust of wind, blowing his hair and agitating his clothes.

The red home jersey of the Chinese team flashed across the green field, like a fluttering red flag, fluttering in the wind.

"Hole! Hole!! Hole!! Beautiful! Hole!!!"

The commentator on the TV was so excited that he could only repeat the name of the goal scorer.

Countless Chinese fans outside the TV are also repeating Hu Lai's name.

"Holley! Holly! Holly... Holly is awesome--Holly!! Holly--!!! Ah--Holly!!!"

The shouts from inside and outside the TV gathered together, turned into a joint force, turned into thunder, and woke up many sleeping people...

No, perhaps there are not many people who can fall asleep soundly at this time.

At 5:39 a.m. on June 17, Beijing time, at the easternmost point of the motherland, the sun has risen, and the dawn is illuminating the earth. At the westernmost point, it is still a dark night, as thick as the blackest ink covering the earth, it is the darkness before dawn.

Whether it is a city or a country, there are lights shining through the windows, which are the bright stars on this dark land.

In the land of 9.6 million square kilometers, there are countless such stars, and countless such sleepless people.

Hu Lixin heard roars and roars from all directions in the community.

He turned his head to look out of the balcony and found that the sky was already bright.

Only then did he suddenly realize that it was dawn.

A new day has arrived.

Xie Lan clasped her hands in front of her chest, screamed, and joined the "ensemble" in the community.

Li Ziqiang stared blankly at the TV screen, indifferent to everything around him.

Hu Lai's last shot brought him back to the Anton Cup final at the end of 2019.

Facing the goal sideways, swinging the right leg, and then without stopping the ball, shooting directly...

The football flew into the goal of Jiaxiang High School, and Dongchuan Middle School was qualified to participate in the national competition.

It was from that ball that the young people on the screen embarked on a career path step by step. He overcame the troubles he created for him, the obstacles of his family of origin, and many difficulties... and finally scored twice in the World Cup.

He remembered the very beginning again, in the old house that had been demolished, under the orange light, he and his daughter were sitting at the dinner table. His daughter pretended to be casual and said in front of him:

—Dad, you know what? The person who completed the hat-trick with his face today is my classmate.

——He is very talented!

Thinking of this, Li Ziqiang turned to look at his daughter.

He found that his daughter was also looking at him.

After noticing his gaze, he smiled, pointed to the TV screen and said proudly, "Dad, your proud disciple!"

Li Ziqiang didn't deny it, a smile appeared on his serious face.

Seeing her father laughing, Li Qingqing turned around happily and continued watching TV.

Hu Lai jumped towards the corner flag. In the slowed-down zoomed-in shot, his face is clearly visible, and every subtle expression change is vividly and clearly displayed in the zoomed-in shot.

His expression was fierce and determined.

This was the first time Li Qingqing saw Hu Lai like this, completely different from the boy she was familiar with.

Just at this moment, he is not the trash who was ridiculed in the class; nor is he the clown who can stop the ball to his face; nor is he always smiling, joking with anyone, as if forever Not a big boy next door...

But an indomitable man!

※※※

When Hu Lai ran to the corner flag area, from the Chinese team's bench, the players who had been standing and watching the game all rushed over, and the goal was the corner flag area that Hu Lai was going to run to!

Zhang Qinghuan also ran out at first, but he soon realized a problem - he turned his head to look at the field, looking for Xia Xiaoyu.

After colliding with Sateri, what happened to Xiaoyu?

Are you hurt?

He saw Jiang Wanqing pulling Xia Xiaoyu up from the ground. When he got up, his face was still frowning, as if he was in some pain.

But soon he ran towards Hu Lai together with Jiang Wanqing, his posture was a bit wrong in the first few steps, and then he ran more and more smoothly.

Looks like it should be fine.

Zhang Qinghuan patronized to see Xia Xiaoyu, but his speed gradually slowed down, and he was thrown off by other teammates on the bench, falling to the back.

He looked at the excited people again, one group on the field, one group off the field, the two groups met at the corner flag area, jumped up and rushed forward, hugging together.

It's like the confluence of two rivers, rolling up thousands of piles of snow.

Instead of continuing to run up, he stopped completely and watched from afar.

The teammates on the bench didn't have a chance to go up, but he himself was replaced after going up...

He felt like a deserter, not qualified to go up and participate in the celebration.

He admits that he got scared during the confrontation with Sateri.

Thinking that he has signed a contract with the Saria Club, he can go abroad to play in La Liga after the World Cup...he is afraid of getting injured in the World Cup, afraid of being like Xiao Min.

He missed the rest of the World Cup due to injury, and also missed the new team's pre-season training due to injury, so he couldn't integrate well into the team... As long as he thinks about the consequences of these injuries, he dare not play in the game and in the game. Deli confronted head-on, so he could only dodge.

Keep hiding, keep hiding, and hide until finally replaced by Guidance Shi.

Now he watched that little brother who was taken care of by him no matter on or off the field, in the game... working hard for him.

What qualifications does he have to hug them?

※※※

Shi Wuyin didn't notice Zhang Qinghuan's strangeness, he and Li Zhifei were hugged by Hong Renjie at the same time.

And everyone else on the bench also followed the substitute players and ran towards Hu Lai in the corner.

For a while, the bench was empty, only the three of them.

Hong Renjie laughed loudly: "It's worth it! With this match, it's not in vain to come to the World Cup!!"

Before going to the World Cup, there were many voices in the field of public opinion about how the Chinese team can perform in the World Cup.

Some people are unreasonably optimistic, as if the Chinese team has failed if it does not reach the semi-finals.

There are also people who are ignorant and not optimistic, thinking that no one can win the Chinese team in the World Cup, and they just go to shame.

More people are neither bragging nor pessimistic, but they also have their own guesses about the performance of the Chinese team in the World Cup.

There are 1.4 billion Chinese people and tens of millions of fans, and it is not only the fans who are concerned about the performance of the Chinese team in this World Cup, there are at least two to three hundred million people.

Everyone has their own point of view, and each point of view will be supported and agreed by a large number of people.

The attention of these 200-300 million people falls on every member of the Chinese team, how much pressure must that be?

There was a meeting within the Football Association before the game, which was aimed at this World Cup.

As the governing body of Chinese football, what goals should the Chinese team set for this World Cup trip?

The meeting went on all day, and it also debated all day.

Opinions vary. In the end, there was no result.

In the end, the boss made the decision:

No goals.

Since Shi Wuyin intends to keep the fire for Chinese football and train the team, so that more young people can feel the atmosphere of the World Cup and accumulate experience. Then setting specific goals is not appropriate.

Because once there is a specific goal, what if the coach's own goals conflict with the goals set by the Football Association? It is bound to force the head coach to abandon the original idea and adjust to complete the goals set by the Football Association.

This violates the original intention of letting Shi Wuyin continue to serve as the head coach of the Chinese team.

So there is no goal, just let the Chinese team play whatever they want in the World Cup.

Even if they lost all three games and failed to score a single goal, they would definitely not consider this a failure for Shi Wuyin and the Chinese team.

Don't put any pressure on the coaching staff and players, let them play freely.

Of course, Hong Renjie knew that this was definitely the boss's real idea, and it was not a high-sounding propaganda caliber. He believed that the boss really supported Shi Wuyin, and he really wanted to implement the concept of "the predecessors plant trees and the descendants enjoy the shade".

But this doesn't mean that Hong Renjie doesn't have his own selfishness:

It is important to train the team and plant trees for future generations. But wouldn't it be better if he could explain his grades in the process?

What kind of achievement is considered to have explained?

Hong Renjie didn't know either, but he believed that it definitely wasn't such a result as losing all three games and failing to score a single goal.

But now, as the first appearance of the Chinese men's football team in the World Cup, with these two goals, as the leader of the national team, he can be regarded as an account to the leaders, fans, and Chinese football...

This kind of explanation is definitely not only because of the two goals, but more importantly, the things reflected in the birth of these two goals-not to mention Hu Lai's performance, this is his usual normal Performance, after all, the Premier League Golden Boot. However, young players like Xia Xiaoyu, who were temporarily replaced on the field, can perform such a performance in the game, which is very surprising and gratifying.

The concept of "predecessors plant trees and descendants enjoy the shade" advocated by Shi Wuyin is vividly reflected in Xia Xiaoyu's body...

When more young players like Xia Xiaoyu accumulate experience and confidence in the World Cup, what kind of feedback can they bring to Chinese football?

Hong Renjie is full of expectations.
