Junhei Morikawa stood on the pitch and focused his eyes on the number 14 player of the Chinese team.

The second half has already begun, and his task has not changed much from the first half, which is still responsible for defending this man.

In fact, from a certain point of view, he should be grateful to the person in front of him.

Because it was he who gave him the opportunity to play in the East Asian Cup.

Thinking of this, Junhei Morikawa decided to wait until the game was over to find this fourteen to exchange jerseys, and then keep his jersey as a trophy as a souvenir.

A commemoration of his first championship for the national team.

He puffed up his chest at the thought of the encouragement and praise he received from head coach Sato and captain Tatsuya Sugiyama at halftime.

In the position of central defender, Junhei Morikawa, who is not even 1.8 meters tall, is not very good in congenital conditions, not tall enough, and not strong enough.

But he also has his strengths and is convinced that his strengths will definitely give him a place in Japanese football.

That's how flexible and tenacious he is.

In order to get ahead, he will always be the hardest working person in training, and he believes that whether it is in the club or in the national Olympic team, his efforts will be seen by the coach.

No, the last game of this East Asian Cup, and the most important game, he started.

Before the game, head coach Coach Sato patted him on the shoulder and said: "Morikawa I know you are a quality player, I believe you think so yourself, but there are some people out there who don't think so, they think you are not tall enough, you are too underweight to be a central defender...... Then this game is an opportunity for you to go and prove them wrong! You can be a good centre-back! ”

Captain Tatsuya Sugiyama also encouraged him: "It's time to show the outside world the results of your training, Morikawa-kun!" ”

Everyone is supporting him, so why shouldn't he reciprocate everyone's support for him?

His reward was to try to freeze Hulai in the game.

He did a good job in the first half, allowing Hulay to not even have a shot on goal.

Hu Lai felt that someone was staring at him, and as soon as he turned around, he saw the twenty-four of the Japanese team, and Shi Gui said that his name was Junhei Morikawa, who was looking at him.

The look in his eyes...... It's not that the enemies are blushing when they see each other, but the eyes are resolute and firm, full of fighting spirit.

This made Hu Lai a little strange - what is going on with such a middle two eyes?

Morikawa Junpei saw Hu Lai looking back at him, and couldn't help but express his heart to him: "Hello, my name is Morikawa Junpei, I will let you know how good I am." Sorry, you won't be able to get a shot on goal during the match...... After today's game, everyone will hear my name! ”

Hulai was even more confused—why did this man still talk to him? But the problem is that big brother, you've been speaking Japanese for a long time and you're out of the program, and you haven't spoken a word of Japanese that I can understand......

Since the other party is so enthusiastic, Hu Lai thought to himself that if I don't reply a word, when the media sees this game picture, will I say that I am arrogant, disrespectful and impolite?

But he really couldn't understand what the other party said, but it couldn't help him, he remembered a video he had seen that taught people how to chat with Japanese people without knowing Japanese at all, so he did the same, and nodded again and again: "Hey, hey, hey...... Inside the temple—"

Junhei Morikawa saw that Hu Lai actually responded to him, and he became even more energetic: "Hu Laijun, if I can, I hope that after the game, I can exchange jerseys with you." I think you're a worthy opponent......"

"Oh? Wha – the ...... of the Maji Which way is more ...... monkeys?"

Junhei Morikawa didn't expect Hu Lai to agree!

He was overjoyed, and was about to say "Aligado" again, when he saw Hulai's figure shake for a moment, and then suddenly jumped out from his side!

※※※

"Guo Junfu's pass! Hulai! Shot! ”

Amid the yells of commentator He Feng, Hulai shot the ball at the Japanese team's goal.

Japan's goalkeeper Hiroki Ueshima soared into the air and lifted the football out with one palm!

"Wow! It's dangerous!! The commentator of Nippon TV exclaimed, "Fortunately, Hiroki Uejima made a wonderful save to keep the goal intact!" ”

After Hulai left in front of him and then he shot, there may not have been even a second, and Junhei Morikawa didn't react at all.

It was only after the ball flew off the bottom line that he realized that Hulai had just completed his first shot of the game!

And just half a minute ago, he boasted in front of Hulai that he would never let him have a chance to shoot in this game......

"Hey! What are you doing, Morikawa! "After Hiroki Uejima, the goalkeeper who saved the goal once, got up from the ground and shouted at Junhei Morikawa, who was in a daze." Matches are competitions, why are you still chatting with your opponents?! ”

"Ah, I'm sorry......" Junhei Morikawa turned around and apologized.

"Don't be sorry, keep an eye on him!" Hiroki Ueshima slapped Junhei Morikawa to Hulai's side.

Junhei Morikawa looked at Hu Lai again, ashamed and blamed himself for his distraction just now, fortunately, Kamishima-kun was as stable as ever, otherwise he would have become a sinner for the whole team......

At that moment, he saw Hulai look back at himself again, and this time, he didn't speak to himself, but only smiled.

※※※

"Hulai has a shot!" The Chinese women's football girls in the stands also realized that this was Hu Lai's first shot of the game after regretting that this shot did not score.

"It's a shame I didn't get in! The opportunity was too difficult to get, and the twenty-four was actually thrown away by Hulai this time......"

"Yes, yes, it's a good opportunity that is hard to buy, if this goal is scored, the Chinese team will be able to equalize......"

Li Qingqing shook his head: "No, even if you don't enter, it's not a big deal." ”

Her point of view caught everyone's attention.

"That Twenty-Four can't stop Hulai." Li Qingqing said categorically. 'Hulay will have more shots on goal and he will score sooner or later.'

"Qingqing, what you said is too full......"

Li Qingqing neither explained nor refutated, but supported his cheek with one hand and looked at the court intently.

"This Junhei Morikawa can't guard against Hu Lai!" In the bar, Yan Yan pointed to this scene on the projection screen and said loudly to the people around him.

"People have only had one shot at goal so far, so why do they say he can't defend Hulai?" Someone in the bar asked curiously.

"Because Hulai is talking to him!" Yan Yan said.

The rest of the people in the bar looked at each other, not understanding what this had to do with not being able to prevent Hulai?

The middle-aged uncle sitting next to Yan Yan asked this question in his heart instead of the big guy.

Yan Yan laughed when he heard this: "Uncle, you don't know Hu Lai as I do, so it's normal to have such questions...... Why don't I tell you a story? It was the first time Hulai came off the bench in the final of the Andong Cup in our province......"

※※※

Seeing Hu Lai's shot saved, the rest of the Chinese team was regretful, only Wang Guangwei's reaction was different from theirs - he twitched the corners of his mouth, and he had bad memories......

But then there was curiosity: when did this kid Hulai speak Japanese? You can even talk to Japanese players?

He decided to run up and ask for the end – he was going to go up for the top anyway when the corner was next.

After running into the penalty area, he found Hulai: "What are you talking to about that kid?" ”

"I don't know......," Hulai said, spreading his hands and looking confused. I don't understand Japanese, so how do you know what he's talking to me......

Wang Guangwei was angry: "I don't understand what you are talking about with others?!" “

"It's not polite for people to talk to me and I don't say a word, right?"

"Do you speak Japanese?"

"It won't ...... either"

"Dare to love you two chickens and ducks!" Wang Guangwei rolled his eyes, and then ran to stand.

He also thought that Hulai really could speak Japanese, and he could really understand Japanese......

"Damn, let's be clear! Who's the chicken and who's the duck?! Hu Lai reached forward, but he was a step too late and failed to grab Wang Guangwei's clothes and let the other party slip away.

Then Hu Lai turned his head and found that Junpei Morikawa, who was a combination of "chicken and duck", was still by his side, and he ran out of the penalty area, and Junhei Morikawa followed.

Hulai is used to this, and it is estimated that the head coach of the Japanese team specially arranged such a person to keep an eye on him.

Looking at Junhei Morikawa's eyes staring at him, it seemed that he was more in the middle than the eyes just now.

It's really a stare, literal ......

※※※

"See Wang Guangwei who went up and said a few words to Hu Lai? At that time, he was miserable by Hulai's 'cross talk football', and finally collapsed in the end, giving Hulai a chance to shoot. Hu Lai also relied on that shot to kill Jiaxiang High School, and our Dongchuan Middle School qualified for the national competition for the first time......," Yan Yan said, pointing to the projection screen.

"So you now understand why I'm so sure Hulay is going to score, right? When he started chatting with the opposing defenders...... Hehe, that means he's very relaxed right now and he's in his rhythm. Don't think that Hulai was prevented by this kid in the first half and didn't have a shot on goal, so he would be impatient or something...... You see, I'm not worried at all. Why? Because I know Hulai! Just one Morikawa Junhei, how can he be prevented? Does the head coach of the Japanese team really think that he can freeze Hulai by finding a random substitute? Trouble! ”

After speaking, Yan Yan leaned back slightly, leaned back on the chair at the bar, lifted Erlang's legs, and then elegantly picked up the wine glass, and took a sip of wine to moisten his throat after telling the story.

The others looked at him leisurely and complacently, and they were all speechless.

Many of them have never heard this story before, and it is impossible to verify whether it is true or false.

After all, it's so, how can anyone have the leisure to chat with others in the game?

But they also thought that before the first East Asian Cup game, it was this young man who insisted that Hu Lai would definitely score in the game, and in the end he really said it.

It has to be doubtful.

The middle-aged man sitting next to him suddenly asked, "I have a question, does Hulai know Japanese?" ”

Yan Yan shrugged: "I haven't heard that he will." ”

"So how does he talk to the Japanese players?"

Yan Yan waved his hand nonchalantly: "That's not important. As long as Hu Lai is willing, even if there is a monkey in front of him, he can talk and laugh with the other party. ”

"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?"

"Not an exaggeration, uncle. You must not take common sense with all that happened to Hulai, and do not try to explain his actions, and do not think about why and why, or you will find yourself in pieces. Yan Yan shook Erlang's legs up. Or uncle, let's make another bet? If Hulai can score under the defense of that little Japanese boy, how about you pay for the whole game today? ”

The uncle nodded: "Okay." If you don't score, you pay the bill. ”

"No problem!" Yan Yan pursed his lips and agreed very calmly.

Everyone else who heard the conversation between the two cheered: "Waiter, add wine!" ”

"Waiter, give me a dozen eighty-two years of Qingdao!"

The bar was filled with an air of jovial excitement.

※※※

PS, today's second shift was an hour ahead because there was still a watch at 10 o'clock in the evening, and it was Hulai who scored.

Surprised, surprised?

At the end of the month, I will reach out to you again to ask for a monthly pass, and strive to make our monthly pass ranking in the top 50 this month, okay?
