Fox in the Penalty Area

When Luo Kai drew the football to the middle, I don’t know how many Chinese fans in front of the TV were still sighing:

What is this rumor about! I was so anxious, I kicked the ball directly to Kevier!

As a result, in the next second, when they saw Chen Xingyi rushing to Kivir like a god descending from the earth, kicking against him, and fighting the football into the penalty area, everyone stood up from their seats.

Then came Lemos who attacked and threw Chen Xingyi down, and the referee whistled to point to the penalty spot!

"Beautiful! Beautiful!" Watching the slow-motion replay, Yan Kang was still repeating this mantra, "Chen Xingyi is really fast! He is fast in the attack, and he chases after the attack quickly, and he kicks first at the end. It’s still fast to poke the football away! One step is fast, every step is fast! It’s like a rabbit!”

Chen Xingyi, who was knocked to the ground by Remos' shoulder, was still lying on the ground with a painful expression.

His teammates have rushed up cheering, looking for him to celebrate as if celebrating a goal.

Hu Lai lay on top of him and said to Chen Xingyi: "It's alright, little Xingxing! Stop acting, the referee has awarded a penalty!"

"Playing your sister, it really hurts me... Huh? A penalty kick? Is it really a penalty?" Chen Xingyi finally realized.

"Yes, yes! I lied to you as a puppy!" Hu Lai said.

Chen Xingyi quickly stretched out his hand: "Help me up quickly!"

Hu Lai pulled him up, everyone went up to hug, patted Chen Xingyi's shoulders and back vigorously, and rubbed his hair.

In the case of falling behind, Chen Xingyi's penalty kick is particularly valuable, giving the Chinese team hope of equalizing the score!

You know this is the ball to tie the Brazilian team!

The players of the Chinese team celebrated the penalty wildly in the penalty area of ​​the Brazilian team. In comparison, the Brazilian players were relatively calm.

They did not gather around the referee for an explanation.

Because this ball is not controversial.

Ramos did miss the ball and tripped Chen Xingyi, so it was a foul. have nothing to say.

Maybe some people who don't know much about football will think that Chen Xingyi pushed the football away before Remos was about to pounce, and then waited to be knocked down by Remos. This is what all players in the world do in this situation,

Penalty kicks allowed by the rules.

As long as the goalkeeper knocks down the player first in the penalty area and does not touch the ball, then a penalty kick can be awarded according to the rules.

Even if the opposing offensive player kicks the ball out of the baseline and the goalkeeper trips the offensive player, that is still a foul.

So there is nothing wrong with this penalty kick.

Naturally, the Brazilian players have nothing to contend with.

※※ ※

Chen Xingyi waved to the referee to indicate that there was nothing serious about him, and he walked out of the penalty area with his teammates without having to ask the team doctor to come up.

Brazil's players also all withdraw from the restricted area.

Hu Lai came to the penalty spot with the football in his arms, bent down and put the football on the ground.

Remos stood on the goal line, frowning at Hou Lai who was placing the football.

Although he had played against Hou Lai in the Premier League, he didn't know anything about Hou Lai's penalty kick habits-in the Premier League last season, Hou Lai only took one penalty kick, and the sample was too small to be sufficient. To judge his penalty kick habits.

"This penalty was taken by Hu Lai. In the national team, he is the number one penalty shooter..." He Feng introduced. "However, he has no record of taking penalty kicks in the national team, because the Chinese team did not get many penalties in the past games..."

In front of the TV, all the Chinese fans who had previously cheered for Chen Xingyi's penalty kick fell silent now.

Li Qingqing suddenly looked to the side, and found that Aunt Xie's hands were clenched into fists, and her whole body was shaking slightly.

This is why she felt the sofa shaking just now...

She completely understood why Aunt Xie was so nervous.

Because the person standing in front of the penalty spot is her son - this is a penalty kick with a high scoring rate, and it is also a penalty kick that will be reviled by thousands of people if you fail to score.

If Hu Lai can score a penalty kick, the Chinese team will equalize the score, and their morale will be boosted, and the next game will be much easier to play.

But if he didn't score... Not to mention the score is still behind, it will still be a heavy blow to the morale of the whole team, and this impact will affect the next game.

It's even possible...he will be the main culprit for the Chinese team's eventual loss.

Although it is said that the Chinese team has a high probability of losing to the Brazilian team, if this penalty is missed, then it is inevitable that some people will think, "If Hu Lai's penalty is scored, will we not lose?"

For a long time, people have had an inherent impression that penalty kicks are the easiest way to score in the game, and there is no one.

That's why everyone was so happy after Chen Xingyi won a penalty for the Chinese team.

Because they all know that the ball will be scored nine times out of ten.

But it is this inherent impression that actually aggravates the psychological burden of free throw players.

After all, it is more difficult not to score a penalty than to score, so when you stand behind a football and prepare to kick a penalty, it is assumed by countless people that you will definitely score.

But how can there be "sure" things in this world?

There are surprises in everything.

Since penalties are almost guaranteed to be scored, why do some people still miss penalties?

Because of stress.

Because of the huge pressure caused by the inherent impression of "a penalty kick must be scored, so it is your responsibility not to score it".

This is especially true for penalty kicks at critical moments.

Think about the former international Liu Yunfeng who missed a key penalty in the top 40 of the 2010 World Cup qualifiers.

After he missed a penalty kick, he was reviled by thousands of people. Until now, some people think that if Liu Yunfeng hadn’t missed the penalty, the Chinese team would have already entered the World Cup finals. Completely ignoring the strength of the Chinese team at that time, even if they entered the top 12, it was impossible to further enter the World Cup finals...

It is precisely because of this incident that Qin Lin, then captain of the Chinese national team, took the initiative to create a "tradition", that is, as the captain and part-time team's number one penalty shooter.

And the famous saying "taking penalty kicks is the responsibility of the captain" was born.

Now for Chinese football, this is a critical moment-scoring this penalty, we still have hope of catching up. Missing a penalty kick shattered hope.

Li Qingqing, who is well aware of the stakes in this, does not worry much about Hu Lai, because based on her understanding of Hu Lai, if there is anything she is most sure of, it must be his strong heart.

This is a person who has never cared about what others think of him since he was a student!

Just like what Song Jiajia said at the beginning, being ridiculed and excluded by others, and having no fun in football at all, did not dispel his love for football.

What else could shake his faith?

Thinking of this, Li Qingqing raised his hand to gently hold Aunt Xie's trembling fist, and then gave her a comforting look when she looked over.

The sound of the scene came from the TV, and it was not quiet.

Because half of the stands at Pasadena Stadium are Brazilian fans.

They happen to be right behind Brazil's goal.

These Brazilian fans tried every means to make noise, waving their arms in the stands, trying to interfere with Hou Lai's penalty kick.

※※ ※

"If it's Hu Lai, it must be fine!" Meng Xi suddenly said in the WeChat group.

"Why?" someone asked.

"Because he is the Chosen One?" Chu Yifan also @ Yan Yan by the way.

Yan Yan didn't jump out, Meng Xi said: "It's not because of this. That kid's heart is so dirty, how could this level of booing affect him?"

※※ ※

In fact, the Brazilian players did more than that to interfere with Hou Lai's penalty kick.

For example, at this moment, there are several enthusiastic Brazilian female fans in the stands behind the Brazil goal. They choose to take off their shirts and wave their arms at Hou Lai with their upper body naked. Their bodies are shaking, which is very eye-catching...

But this scene cannot appear in the TV broadcast.

It is a unique "benefit" of watching the game on the spot.

The bold actions of these female fans further ignited the atmosphere of the scene, and the momentum of the scene was even bigger. It was hard to tell how many of them were booed by Brazilian fans, and how many were booed by Brazilian fans... …

Amidst the boos, Shi Wuyin's face was a bit ugly. He really didn't expect the Brazilian fans to play such a game...

Even the beauty trick was used!

Now he can only hope that Hu Lai didn't see...

But how could it not have been seen?

Even the goalkeeper of the Brazilian team, Lemos, was attracted by the movement behind him and turned his head to look at it—those female fans gathered together, originally dressed very sexy, and had already appeared in the live broadcast before. Now that he has taken off his clothes, the white body reflects the sunlight, which is even more eye-catching, and it is impossible for anyone to see it.

"Damn it..." Li Zhifei cursed at the side.

As for it!

It's not the World Cup finals, so why did it do so well? !

"Think about it, Lao Li..." Hong Renjie weakly advised him from the side, "At least this shows that in the eyes of Brazilian fans, we are already on the same level as their rival Argentina..."

It was a joke, but neither it was said nor heard without laughing.

※※ ※

"Hey, Remus!"

Just as Remos looked away from the stands behind him, he heard Holly calling him.

He looked at each other.

"Which side do you think I will kick this penalty?" Hu Lai asked him with a smile.

Remos froze for a moment.

In fact, in penalty kicks, it is very common for the goalkeeper to fight the opponent's free throw player with wits and courage, but most of the time it is the goalkeeper who imposes psychological tactics on the opponent's free throw player. It's normal to go out", so the goalkeeper is willing to use psychological warfare-even if he fails, he will not turn himself into a clown.

He once did something like running up to the opponent to verbally provoke before the opponent took a penalty kick.

But the penalty shooter verbally stimulated the goalkeeper before the penalty... This is still a rare occurrence for him.

Generally, football players will try to stay focused before making free throws. If they can talk, they will not talk. If the goalkeeper wants to talk to him, he will not respond.

But Hu Lai took the initiative to come to the door...

But Remos was just stunned for a moment, then he came back to his senses, and he pointed to the stands behind him: "Hu, have you seen those white [muffled]?"

Heh, play psychological warfare with me?

I fear you? !

Hu Lai laughed and said, "Ha, change the subject, you're scared, Remos! Answer my question, which side do you think I'm kicking?"

Remos snorted coldly, he was too lazy to continue the fight with Hu Lai. He opened his hands, stood on the goal line, leaned forward slightly, and was ready to make a save.

At the same time, the referee blew his whistle seeing that both sides were ready.

Almost at the same time, the boos in the stands of Pasadena Stadium became more booed!

The Chinese fans did not dare to make a sound to confront the Brazilian fans. They could only look nervously at the Brazilian team's goal.

I saw that not tall figure swaying and running towards the football!

"Hu Lai!" He Feng yelled and then closed his mouth.

Under everyone's nervous gaze, Hu Lai ran to the penalty spot and swung his right leg!

Brazil goalkeeper Victor Lemos swayed to the left, then turned back suddenly and turned to the right!

Hu Lai's foot kicked the football, and the toe kicked up!

Remos swooped resolutely to the right!

The football flies to the middle!

Remos, who was already in the air, turned his head to look at the flying football in surprise, and swung his hand towards the flying football...but it was in vain, he only grabbed a ball of air!

The football drew a parabola in the air and crashed into the goal behind him!

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!" He Feng roared hoarsely, "Spoon! Spoon penalty equalizes!! It's...a master class performance!!"

"Beautiful!!" Yan Kang also yelled desperately beside him, "Beautiful!! So beautiful!!"

The boos of the Brazilian fans in the stands stopped abruptly, and then started again.

But this time, their boos were overshadowed by the cheers of Chinese fans who were evenly matched with them, and nothing leaked out!

The Chinese fans who were on tenterhooks can finally vent all their suppressed emotions!

Amid the thunderous cheers and applause, the goalkeeper Houlai pointed to Lemos, then laughed and turned around and ran to the corner flag area, jumping high under the eyes of the Brazilian fans, making his mark Sexual celebration.

This is his third celebration at the World Cup!

※※ ※

"What did I say?! Hahahahahaha!! Spoon! You really deserve to be Hu Lai!"

Meng Xi yelled in the WeChat group.

"Pretty!"

Zhong Shihao was roaring.

"Pretty!!"

Everyone else in the subway car was screaming too, and some stood up abruptly from their seats.

"Pretty!!!"

Xie Lan turned around and hugged Li Qingqing, screaming excitedly like a child. On the contrary, it was Li Qingqing who reached out and caressed her back gently, as if their identities were reversed.

Seeing this scene, the two men looked at each other and smiled.

In China at the moment, there are countless similar places, and there are thunderous cheers!
