"Huh?"

Ten minutes into the game, head coach Shi Wuyun frowned and let out such an exclamation.

Li Zhifei, the assistant coach next to him, also saw it: "Nigeria's defense of Hulai is beyond imagination......"

Before the game, Shi Wuyun and his coaching team thought that Nigeria would definitely look down on the national Olympic team, and it was normal for them not to take the national Olympic team seriously, after all, there was a big gap in strength between the two sides.

Even if Nigeria's head coach Kane Roger, the British, warned his players not to take their opponents lightly, how many of those African players could really take the manager's words to heart?

It's not uncommon for African players to have poor tactical discipline.

But now the players of the Nigerian Olympic team who appear in front of Shi Wuyun do not seem to be proud of the enemy.

In particular, their defense of Hulai is almost to the point of being inseparable - no matter how Hulai runs, someone will appear next to him in time, press him fiercely, use his physical advantage to rush him, interfere with him, and prevent him from comfortably holding the ball.

This level of defense was indeed something that Shi Wuyun's coaching team did not expect before the game.

They relied on their stereotypes to make the judgment that their opponents would definitely underestimate their opponents, highlighting their lack of experience and ability in this area.

"We made a mistake, Xiao Shi ......," Lao Li gritted his teeth and said.

Shi Wuyun did not respond to him, but looked at the court with a solemn expression.

Although Hulai raised his hand at the edge of the penalty area to ask for the ball, Guo Junfu did not pass the football to him, but to Luo Kai on the right.

Hulay turned and ran into the box, still followed by a Nigerian player.

Luo Kai first made a cross, then dribbled horizontally, and then fired a long-range shot with his left foot.

The football was high over the crossbar, and the attack of the Chinese Olympic team came to an end.

Hulay was not able to get any chances.

It's not that Luo Kai deliberately didn't pass the ball to him, but he really didn't have too good chances here.

He didn't run into the air, nor did he get rid of the defense, and even if Luo Kai passed the ball to him, he wouldn't be able to hold the ball nine times out of ten.

Something like this happened in the last attack of the Chinese team. At that time, Chen Xingyi still passed the football to Hu Lai.

Hulai received the ball, but under the close pressure of the Nigerian defender behind him, he couldn't even turn around, let alone shoot, and he was able to protect the ball under the close pressure of the opposing defender, which was greatly unexpected by many people.

In the end, Hulai could only pass the football back.

So it's normal that Luo Kai didn't pass the ball to him, and it is better to use him to cut into the penalty area and open up the opportunity for the front defense of the Nigerian penalty area to try to shoot a long shot.

Of course, the quality of Luo Kai's long-range shot is really not high......

Watching Luo Kai's kick shot, Hulai shook his head, and then said in English to Kennedy O'Merro, Nigeria's No. 4 central defender next to him: "Big brother, what are you staring at me?" Don't say I didn't warn you...... Did you see, our number nine took advantage of the gap you had to follow me back to complete the shot, and he was our most dangerous player! ”

Omero was a little surprised to see Hulai talking to him, his eyes widened, and his eyeballs almost bulged out: "Do you speak English?" ”

"It's so new, we've been learning English since elementary school...... The point is not this, the point is that it is useless for you to follow me, the most dangerous thing for our team is the guy who shot just now. ”

Omero grinned and shook his head, "Don't try to lie to me, I know you're the number one threat to our team." The coach specifically showed me a video of you scoring five goals in nine minutes. ”

Hearing the other party say this, Hu Lai was dumbfounded......

He really didn't expect that the scene of his great power in the U23 Asian Cup at the beginning of the year would spread to distant Nigeria, and he didn't expect that the highlight of his career, five goals in nine minutes, would become the shackles that bind him in the Olympics now.

In preparation for the match, Nigeria's Olympic coach Kane Roger showed his team a video of Hulai's nine-minute five-goal video, then pointed to the man who kept running to celebrate and said to his players: "Remember this face, he will be your biggest threat in this game!" Keep an eye on him and don't give him any space to catch the ball and shoot! It's okay to foul, as long as it's not in our penalty area! ”

And Kennedy O'Mero was clearly an obedient player who remembered Hulay's face and his performance of scoring five goals in nine minutes.

When head coach Kane Roger released the video, the room was filled with inhalations and exclamations.

The Nigerian players were dumbfounded, never expecting someone to score five goals in nine minutes.

And the head coach also emphasized to them that this game is the Asian qualifier for the Olympic Games, not a friendly match for casual fun.

In this way, the players will have a correct understanding of the difficulty of Hulai's miraculous performance.

Isn't a player who can score five goals in nine minutes in this kind of game worthy of our seriousness?

As a result, Hulai was on Nigeria's "VIP list" and became a person who was taken care of.

Through this period of play, Hulai also knew that the other party was not playing with him.

He was indeed closely guarded by the other side.

And it was just because of a supernatural performance in the qualifiers......

Careless!

"The game has been going on for a while, and Hulai hasn't even had a chance to shoot on goal until now, he was defended by Nigeria very ......" He Feng's voice was slightly distorted when he was in front of Xie Lan in front of the TV through satellite signals.

"The Nigerian players are too strong physically, and Hulai is very disadvantaged in physical confrontation......" said Yan Kang, who was also present.

Xie Lan frowned when he heard the words of these two people: "What did those black babies eat and grow up?" Doesn't it mean that Africa can't get enough to eat after years of famine? ”

"What kind of mess are you...... Everyone is a professional player, how can they not have enough to eat? And this group of Nigerian Olympic team players basically play in European clubs, how can the living conditions be poor? Hu Lixin still did some homework, not like his wife turned on the TV and started watching the game, before the game he also studied the information of Nigerian players, although it is still an E certificate, but he has now demanded himself according to the coach's standards.

Xie Lan was unwilling, and quickly found the blind spot: "Are they really twenty-three-year-old young people?" Will there be a change in age? I changed the big one to the small one. Look at this man, like an old man......"

She pointed to the Nigerian No. 4 centre-back Kennedy O'Merlo, who defended Houlai, and asked her husband.

"Black Men Grow Old...... Although the household registration management in Africa is chaotic, age is indeed a difficult thing to say, but it is not so exaggerated, it is the age of everyone who has changed it......

Seeing that she had raised two questions in a row and her husband had solved them, Xie Lan was annoyed: "Which side are you on!" ”

Hu Lixin: ???

However, he also knew that his wife was a little impetuous because his son did not behave too well.

So he didn't know much with his wife, but continued to concentrate on watching the game.

Nigeria did not take the Olympic team too lightly, as Shi Wuyun envisioned.

For example, their defense against Hulai was very good.

After containing the most threatening of the Olympic team's attack, they launched a fierce offensive against the Olympic team's goal.

Although the defense of the national Olympic team is tenacious.

But it was still in the 31st minute that the goal was lost.

"Okuye...... Dangerous! ”

With He Feng's exclamation, the Nigerian Olympic team's striker Zad Okuye forced his way into the penalty area with his speed and shot before Wang Guangwei came up to block him!

Goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan fell to the ground to save, and rubbed his hand against the football, but this shot was powerful and heavy, Lin Zhiyuan only rubbed the football, but he was not able to change the direction of the football's flight.

The ball eventually found its way into the net......

"Oops! Still conceded a goal! After Nigeria's offensive started during this time, the back line of the national Olympic team has been very dangerous, and in the end it was unable to hold ......"

After losing the ball, Lin Zhiyuan looked back and saw the football in the goal, and beat the turf very angrily.

The black striker's shot was so powerful that it didn't seem to have much movement, but the ball kicked out was like a cannonball, and it rushed away from his fingers and flew into the goal......

"Alas!" Xie Lan let out a long sigh, and the whole person slowly fell to the back of the sofa.

Hu Lixin, who was sitting next to her, maintained his previous posture, his hands around his chest, sitting upright on the sofa cushion, motionless.

※※※

"Alas!"

A sigh rang out in the hotel conference room.

It was the women's football players who watched the game collectively that sent it.

Although they know that there is a huge difference in the strength of the two sides, and it is inevitable to lose the goal, when the national Olympic team really loses the goal, the women's football girls still feel sorry for the national Olympic team.

"If only we could hold on until the end of the first half, then adjust at halftime and keep it for a draw...... As a result, now the ball was conceded, alas! ”

"It's hard to defend, the attack of the national Olympic team has not improved, the last ten minutes have basically been pressed by the opponent, and it is a matter of time before the goal is conceded......

"Be calm and calm, and win less if you lose."

"yes, they conceded for half an hour and they were already doing well. After all, this is their first Olympic competition! ”

Kind-hearted women's football players have begun to make excuses and excuses for the failure of the national Olympic team, and seem to be worried that after losing the game, public opinion is full of all kinds of cynicism and abuse.

Li Qingqing didn't say anything, Xu Wen next to her touched her: "Qingqing, what do you think?" ”

"Me?" Li Qingqing didn't expect the other party to ask herself, she was stunned for a moment and then shook her head, "I don't have an opinion, the game is not over yet." ”

"Yes, yes, it's not over yet. But Hulai's game is completely frozen, how can he score? ”

"I don't know." Li Qingqing shook his head.

"Won't you worry?" Xu Wen continued to ask, since she knew that Li Qingqing and Hu Lai had known each other for a long time, she had been particularly concerned about the relationship between the two.

"I'm not worried, and I'm not worried."

"Wow, ruthless!"

Li Qingqing glanced at her: "What does this have to do with ruthlessness?" Worry about it here, will he be able to score? ”

"Uh...... It's the same. ”

"Watch the game, don't worry about what you don't have." Li Qingqing raised her hand and patted Xu Wen gently.

Xu Wen shrunk her neck and followed Li Qingqing to continue watching the game.
