Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 339 The Heart of a Champion

After Zhang Qinghuan was replaced and Mao Junzheng played, the game resumed.

The Brazilian team throws the ball in its own backcourt.

Except for Hu Lai, the Chinese team was all in their own half, and they didn't come up at all. This is to prevent being counterattacked by the Brazilian team.

It was the 83rd minute when Hu Lai scored the third goal. Counting injury time, there were still more than ten minutes left in the game.

The Brazilian team is fully capable of scoring another goal in these ten minutes.

So the Chinese team had to be more cautious.

As for why it was Hu Lai who interfered in the frontcourt instead of Zhou Zijing. Naturally, it is because Hu Lai can't play a big role in defense in the backcourt. Let him go to the frontcourt, maybe he can be a shit-stirring stick, stir it up.

The Chinese team is very satisfied with the current score, and they don't even think about scoring another goal, completely defeating the Brazilian team, and then qualifying for the group with five points.

The Brazilian team pressed across the board, and they were irritated by the conceded goal, and they forgot for a while that they could accept the result of a draw.

At present, Russia is already two goals ahead of Algeria, and it also has one win, two draws and five points.

But they only netted two goals against Algeria, compared to four for Brazil.

In the case of the same points, the goal difference of the Brazil team is two more than that of the Russian team, which is enough to ensure that they get the first place in the group.

After all, there is not much time left in the game now, and it is difficult for Russia to score two more goals in the remaining few minutes.

But the players of the Brazilian team have forgotten this. They seem to be irritated by Hou Lai's goal. All he wanted was to teach the Chinese team a lesson.

Pressed up, their offensive was swift and fierce, and the Chinese team was out of breath.

In the fierce offensive of the Brazilian team, the goal of the Chinese team looks like it may be broken at any time...

but no!

The Brazilian team kicked the ball from the right, and Keewell passed the football into the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team.

High center Tavala and Yao Huasheng took off at the same time, but in the end he suppressed Yao Huasheng and headed the ball towards the goal!

But because of Yao Huasheng's personal interference,

The speed of his head was not very fast, but the angle was a little bit tricky-running towards the back corner of the goal.

Lin Zhiyuan took a step across, rose into the air, and stretched out his hands!

It's like a pair of iron pliers, holding the football in the air firmly in your hands!

Although it was too late to put the football back into his arms, he fell from the air, but he still held the football firmly, and he didn't let go of it because of the impact.

This made another Brazilian striker who had rushed to him run away from Bidu Bai.

"Beautiful! Lin Zhiyuan's save is beautiful!"

After catching the football, Lin Zhiyuan didn't get up in a hurry as before, but took the football back into his arms, pressed it under his body, and lay down on the ground for a while before getting up.

The Brazilian players, of course, protested to the referee, complaining that he was delaying the time.

But Lin Zhiyuan didn't care.

To be honest, as a goalkeeper, the chance of getting a card is low. Who cares whether he gets a card or not?

He didn't get a yellow card in the whole group stage. Today, for the team to draw with Brazil, what is it to bear a yellow card?

After Lin Zhiyuan got up, he kicked the football directly towards the Brazilian team's frontcourt with his big foot, and aimed at the sideline, in order to let the football fly directly out of the sideline.

Take advantage of the opportunity of the Brazilian team to throw the ball out of bounds, and delay more time.

Football games are not like basketball games, even if the ball goes out of bounds, the watch will not stop, so letting the football go out of bounds more will help the Chinese team delay more time.

Brazil goalkeeper Lemos saw the football flying out of his own half and wanted to throw a throw-in, but was stopped by captain Kevier. Signal him to respond from a distance, but don't come up and throw the ball yourself.

As the captain, Keewel still retains his sanity. I'm afraid that the Chinese team will take advantage of this opportunity to fight back, and it will be over if they just hit the empty goal. What the Brazilian team lost was not only face, but also the qualification to qualify for the group stage - if the Brazil team lost this game, the Chinese team and Russia would have five points to qualify for the group stage, while the Brazil team would only have four points.

Although the probability is very low, Keewel must consider this situation-didn't you see that when Lemos wanted to throw a throw-in, Hou Lai suddenly stepped forward and overwhelmed the midfielder? Obviously that kid must have a plan...

Kevill also saw this, so he quickly waved his hand to make Remos wait behind instead of coming up to serve a throw-in.

He personally ran for the throw-in, threw the ball to Lemos in the distance, and then Lemos kicked the football forward with a big foot. This saves the most time and does not require other players to come back to respond. High pressure situation.

Just as the football flew towards the backcourt of the Chinese team, the fourth official on the sidelines held up a stoppage time sign.

"Five minutes of stoppage time... Considering that a total of four goals were scored in the second half, this stoppage time is appropriate... But..." He Feng was a little worried, and spoke hesitantly.

Yan Kang next to him encouraged the Chinese team loudly: "Hold on to the Chinese team! Hold on for another five minutes! We will make history!"

At this time, all the Chinese fans who were watching the live broadcast of the game were also extremely nervous. They were so nervous that they dared not take a breath, for fear that the Chinese team would fail at the last moment.

Although the result of losing to Brazil, many people could think of it before the game, and they also think it is acceptable. But when they really drew with Brazil 3:3, those people who thought they could accept defeat before the game began to be unwilling to accept a 3:4 defeat again.

After all, how many people can not want to live when they see the hope of life?

After seeing the dawn of a draw with Brazil and making history, everyone is unwilling to return to the darkness of failure.

In front of the bench, since the celebration of the third goal, none of the Chinese team’s bench players returned to their seats. They stood on the sidelines and stood shoulder to shoulder with their teammates on the field in this way fight. It seems that in this way, more power can be transmitted to teammates on the field.

The same is true for the Chinese fans in the stands. No one can sit and watch the game. They wave the five-star red flag vigorously and sing the national anthem to cheer for the Chinese team players.

"Get up - people who don't want to be slaves! The Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous time!"

This is not the first time the national anthem has been sung at the World Cup, but this is the most appropriate one.

For the Chinese team, the last few minutes of the game were indeed the most dangerous time.

The Brazilian team can completely use a lore to make all the previous efforts of the Chinese team come to naught.

"Block them!"

"Pay attention to people! Keep an eye on people! Whose Kabanka belongs to? Follow!"

"Behind! There are people behind!"

"Kick it out! Kick it out with big feet!!"

"Okay! That's it! Beautiful defense!"

The players of the Chinese team on the field kept shouting loudly, reminding their teammates, and at the same time cheering everyone up.

When Wang Guangwei defended desperately, he seemed to be a little strained, but the Brazilian players did not take the initiative to kick the football out of the sideline, so he got up from the ground and limped into the battle.

It wasn't until Mao Jun was destroying the football to the bottom line that he sat down on the ground again and asked Chen Xingyi to press his legs.

Marquios waved to the referee, pointing at Wang Guangwei to signal him to flop to delay the time.

Hu Lai, the only one in the team who can speak fluent Portuguese, naturally rushed forward to face Marquios: "You never have a cramp when you play football, don't you? Dipping everything? Did you accidentally expose your true nature?"

Marquiao was very angry, he stared wide-eyed and questioned Hou Lai: "You slandered me!"

But Hu Lai didn't advance but retreated, and stood in front of him almost face-to-face: "What do you want?"

Fortunately, Kabanka quickly ran over and pulled his teammates away: "Don't be fooled by him!"

Behind him, Hou Lai pointed at Marquios and shouted: "Kabanka, don't pull him, let him come up and try! Believe it or not, I made him unable to play in the World Cup!"

Hearing what Hu Lai said, Kabanka obviously felt that the strength of Marquios' physical struggle had increased a bit, and he could only hug him harder: "He just wants to provoke! Don't listen to him! He Very insidious and cunning!"

Players from both sides swarmed up, pulling people, pulling people, cursing and fighting.

The scene was slightly chaotic.

But in the chaos, the players of the Chinese team got an extra respite, and at the same time, the time was delayed even more.

If Marquios knew that his routinely broken words would be used by Hu Lai, he would definitely regret giving Hu Lai such a chance...

But maybe next time he will know, no matter what Hu Lai says to him, don't answer, don't answer, don't answer.

※※※

Although after Hu Lai made such a fuss, the referee still gave a little more time, but the Brazilian team did not really use this time to complete the lore.

The game was ninety-six minutes and fifty-five seconds.

Kabanka's long shot was blocked by Xia Xiaoyu's leg.

The football arced high and fell outside the baseline.

Tonini ran to the corner flag, ready to take a corner kick, but heard the referee blow his whistle!

"The game is over!!!" He Feng, who was already standing and commenting on the game, raised his arms and shouted. After the heart in his heart fell from his throat, it started beating violently again.

"The game is over!! We drew Brazil 3:3! China! China...China's first World Cup trip in history...unbeaten! After three rounds of group matches, we have not lost a game !Although... Although this does not allow us to qualify from the group, this performance is enough to make all our Chinese fans proud! Similarly, the boys of the national football team can also leave the World Cup with their heads held high! All of them are good! "

During He Feng's excited commentary, the substitute players of the Chinese team who had been waiting on the sidelines rushed onto the field, hugging and celebrating with their teammates.

Looking at this scene, it seems that the Chinese team finally defeated the Brazilian team and reached the top 16.

On the contrary, the frustrated Brazilian players looked like they lost to the Chinese team and were eliminated in the group stage.

Even the Brazilian commentator was not very emotional after the game: "The game is over, we failed to score again before the final whistle...Brazil's performance in this game was not good enough, we three times Leading, but was equalized by the opponent three times! I hope this game can remind Hena and his players-in the World Cup, no team is easy to deal with! Even if it is the first time to participate in the World Cup The team is no exception!"

※※※

"Yeah!" In the living room, Xie Lan and Li Qingqing raised their arms and shouted.

Hu Lixin and Li Ziqiang beside them also waved their fists with a smile.

The boulder in their hearts can finally hit the ground.

It's not just them, on the land of China at this moment, in subway cars, on squares, in office buildings, companies, Internet cafes, movie theaters... All the places where fans gather to watch the football are bursting into huge cheers at this moment Voice.

The Chinese team did not qualify from this group, but everyone didn't think there was any regret about it.

We drew with Brazil!

What more bike do you need?

※※※

Kabanka took a deep breath and let it out all at once.

The game is over, and the emotion in his heart can also be put down temporarily with the final whistle.

He saw Hu Lai who was cheering and celebrating with his teammates, and smiled slightly. Now they were no longer enemies, so he walked towards Hu Lai.

He also avoided those overly excited Chinese players, but he was stopped by Chen Xingyi on the way: "Hi, Kabangka."

He greeted in English.

"Hello." Kabanka responded politely to him.

"Can I...uh, can I exchange jerseys with you?" Chen Xingyi tugged at his jersey.

Kabanka did not immediately agree, but cast a glance at Hu Lai, saw that he was still celebrating with his teammates, and nodded: "Okay."

"Great! Thank you!" Chen Xingyi happily took off his jersey.

At the same time Kabanka also took off his jersey.

In this way, the two completed the ceremony of exchanging jerseys.

"You played well." Kabangka praised after getting Chen Xingyi's jersey.

"Where is it... We did our best to achieve this result..." Chen Xingyi grinned.

Chen Xingyi took Kabangka's jersey and turned away happily, while Kabangka, who was holding Chen Xingyi's jersey, stood on the spot and glanced at Hu Lai again, but in the end he didn't go up, but turned around walking back.

"Chen Xingyi is exchanging jerseys with Kabangka... After the game, the Chinese players have won the respect of their opponents with their own performance, and the exchange of jerseys seems logical..." said He Feng who saw this scene. "Actually, now that I think about it, many people in the national football team are fans of these Brazilian stars... For them, this is simply the most amazing star chasing—the so-called star chasing is not flattery, but out of flattery. My best performance wins the opportunity to be recognized by idols. The most top-notch way to chase stars is probably to chase myself into an opponent that even idols dare not underestimate, hah!"

※※※

Hu Lai finally finished messing with his teammates and got a short respite.

He backed out of the crowd only to see the referee apparently waiting for him with a football in his arms.

He was a little surprised, not knowing why the referee had to wait for him.

Instead, the other party handed over the football in his hand and said with a smile, "Don't you want to keep the football as a souvenir, Hu?"

Hu Lai suddenly realized.

Yes, it stands to reason that after a hat-trick, the game ball should be collected as a commemoration.

But he was so busy celebrating with his teammates at the end of the game that he forgot about it...

No matter what, he never thought that the referee would wait for him here, just to give the football to himself... After all, this is not what the referee should do.

Seeing Hu Lai's surprised expression, the referee explained: "I think the football should be given to you, otherwise you may regret it later. After all, this is your first hat-trick in the World Cup. Well done, Hu. You Let us all know Chinese football again."

As he spoke, he stuffed the football into Hu Lai's hand.

Hu Lai, holding the football, thanked him again and again: "Thank you, sir. Thank you!"

The other party didn't say any more, waved his hand, turned around and left with the assistant referees waiting for him in front.

Hu Lai first cast his eyes on their backs, and then looked down at the football in his hand.

The official ball of this World Cup, it has an exclusive name:

champion heart

It means that every player participating in the World Cup has a heart eager to win the championship.

This has nothing to do with strength, but with dreams.

After all, any professional player has dreamed of winning the world championship.

Maybe not everyone can finally realize their dreams, but they can look forward to their dreams.

The right to dream belongs to everyone.

"The referee was waiting by the side to give the football to Hu Lai... This scene will definitely become a good story in the World Cup in the future! Hu Lai, you can put the ball away, it is very meaningful! "Yan Kang teased with a smile.

He Feng sighed beside him: "It is really meaningful. And it is not only for Hu Lai, but also for Chinese football. Because it witnessed our first World Cup trip, and those moments worthy of our long-term memories are reflected here. On a standard No. 5 ball with a diameter of 21 cm... Our first appearance in the World Cup; the March of the Volunteers was played on the World Cup for the first time; the five-star red flag was raised on the World Cup for the first time... and Our first goal, first point... There are too many firsts worth remembering.

"The heart of a champion, the heart of a champion. The Chinese team bid farewell to the World Cup today, and we will miss the championship... In the foreseeable future, we may also miss the World Cup championship. But so what? As long as you have a heart that yearns for the championship , we can go on firmly. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, as long as the heart of the champion in the chest is still beating, we can improve and become stronger! Maybe we still can’t win the championship in the end, but we are in the process of chasing the championship. Become stronger, become a better version of yourself...be a chasing champion forever, always on the road!"

Yan Kang joked: "He Feng, you started singing again..."

He Feng also smiled: "Today's game really made me feel a lot, and I have a lot to say. The game is over, but our journey is not over yet. I believe this is definitely not the only World Cup trip for the Chinese team , I believe that four years later, we will still be able to appear in the World Cup finals! Just because of this game...and the previous two games, it gave me confidence!"

Yan Kang said: "It also gave me confidence. Our football reform is correct and we are on the right path. If so, let's continue!"

The players of the Chinese team on the field had finished their celebration and began to gather together and circle the field to applaud the Chinese fans in the stands.

This is their last game in this World Cup, they don't want to go back to the dressing room early to change clothes, but want to stay on the pitch.

If only I could never say goodbye.

"The Chinese team is doing well!"

"The national football team is awesome!!"

"Thank you, Chinese team!"

"I will always support you!"

"hero!!"

The Chinese fans in the stands also gave thumbs up and applauded to the Chinese players in the field.

Seeing such a harmonious scene, He Feng finally said:

"We have been to the World Cup, and we have left our names on this stage. Now let us make a promise with everyone-see you in the World Cup in Spain and Portugal four years later! Goodbye, boys of the Chinese team! Thank you for your support The three games we dedicated, thank you for the six goals, thank you for the wonderful memories you left us in the summer of 2026! Goodbye! Thank you!"
