Chapter 112: Two Small Goals

After Hulai went off due to injury and Son Ho-min was sent off with a red card, although there was nearly half an hour left in the game, the suspense of the game was gone.

The South Korean team has one less man, and the lack is still the main central defender. Lee An-in had to replace striker Jung Dae-jin, who had just been replaced in the second half, and then replace another main defender, Seo Yong-chul.

In such a situation, it is still too difficult to pull back three goals, even on your home turf.

Not to mention that the current Chinese players are in the same hatred because of Hu Lai's injury - they still don't know that Hu Lai is actually a......

Shi Wuyun adjusted his tactics as soon as possible, and did not let the Chinese team continue to play the tactics of pressing all over the court, but set up a bus and gave up the place outside the defensive third zone.

But even so, it will be difficult for the South Korean team to organize an effective offensive.

Park Gye-hyun, known as the first striker of East Asia U23, struggled to get opportunities in the game, and most of the time he couldn't even enter the penalty area, so he could only shoot from the outside.

Originally, everyone thought that this match would be the stage for Park Kye-hyun's performance, after all, after the Kirin Cup, he was forced to apologize to Chinese fans and media, but he was considered humiliated.

Isn't the East Asian Cup being held on your home soil the best chance for revenge?

Before the game, many South Korean fans were expecting Park Gye-hyun to make a big splash in this game and turn the humiliation in his heart into a goal.

What do you think...... The protagonist of this game became an unknown No. 14 player of the Chinese team.

He used a hat-trick and a foul to make the South Korean team lose almost all of their combat effectiveness.

Park Gye-hyun said before the game that whether Guan Xinyan came or not would not affect the game.

Now that he said it was wrong, if Guan Xinyan comes, the Chinese team may not be able to win!

Because Korean fans know a little bit about this Guan Xinyan, a talented newcomer who has emerged in Chinese football in recent years.

Along with Park Gye-hyun of the South Korean team and Tatsuya Sugiyama of the Japanese team, they are called the three most promising young people in East Asian football.

It's just that South Korean fans feel that this is simply a braggadocio by the Chinese media, in fact, Guan Xinyan's ability, where is it worthy of being compared with Park Guixian and Tatsuya Sugiyama?

This is basically because of China's international status, and it is forcibly pulling out generals and looking for them to make up the numbers.

As the game time passed, the expectations of South Korean fans and commentators for the game ranged from "I hope we can achieve a shocking comeback and let the Chinese team know what will happen if we anger us" to "I hope we can equalize and at least ensure that the Chinese team's 41-year unbeaten record can be continued", and then to "I hope we can score at least one goal in the game and save a little face, otherwise it will be too embarrassing to be shaved by the Chinese team"......

But even with such a humble goal, it is not easy for the South Korean team to achieve it.

Park Gye-hyun simply fell into the trap of fighting alone in the end, his physical fitness is really good, but he may not be able to win by relying only on his body and hand-to-hand combat with the defenders of the Chinese team.

In charge of defending him in this game was Wang Guangwei, who also made his first appearance for the Chinese team.

He made Park Gye-hyun very embarrassed in the game.

In terms of physical fitness, he may be slightly inferior to Park Kye-hyun, but his defensive skills are better, his timing is accurate, and his feet are steady and accurate, even in his own penalty area, he never hesitates when he should make a move, and he must hit a shot.

As long as Park Gye-hyun is attached, it is like a piece of chewing gum stuck to the sole of the shoe, and it is difficult to be easily shaken off.

In fact, the national team debut like Wang Guangwei definitely deserves to be on the front page of the news after the game.

But who calls this game a more demonic existence?

Hulay's hat-trick and injury simply stole the limelight.

In the remaining half hour of the game, both Chinese fans and commentators talked about Hu Lai's injury the most.

Seeing that he didn't go to the locker room and wasn't taken directly to the hospital by ambulance, everyone breathed a sigh of relief - so it doesn't seem like it was a very serious injury?

You must know that in the top 12 matches last year, after Gao Chen was seriously injured by Park Sung-heung, a player of the South Korean team, he was taken to the hospital by ambulance on the spot, and he didn't have the opportunity to sit on the bench and watch the game on ice.

Although it is possible that he will miss the rest of the East Asian Cup as he is now, as long as it is not the kind of major injury that could affect Hulai's future career, everyone feels that it is acceptable.

South Korea's attack intensified in the final minutes of the game.

But the Chinese team stubbornly withstood their attack.

Seeing that there is not much time left in the game, the score is still 3:0, the Chinese team is ahead, and everyone knows that the Chinese team is going to win and beat the South Korean team!

He Feng gritted his teeth and said: "We have said this sentence countless times in the past, so much so that later this sentence became a joke mocking Chinese football...... And now it's time to give that back to the South Korean team – time for the Korean team...... Not much! ”

Not long after he said this, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and after seven minutes of stoppage time, the game was over!

"It's over! The game is over! He Feng raised his arms and shouted in the studio behind the capital. We won! We won! We beat South Korea! The embarrassing record of 41 years of invincibility in South Korea was broken today! This is the end of Koreanophobia! ”

The bar was in a mess, someone didn't know who they were calling, holding the phone and shouting, "Yes, yes, it's 3:0!" It's 3:0! Yeah...... It's the Chinese team! Yeah...... It's the men's soccer team! Nonsense, the Korean team is also a men's football team!! ”

Some people wiped their tears alone, and some people hugged their heads and cried.

I don't know how many people are crying wolves.

At this time, the man who said that he was going to pay for the whole audience squeezed in front of Yan Yan with a bottle of beer and said to him: "Awesome, this classmate, you really got ...... right."

Yan Yan saw the other party's appearance clearly, and was stunned for a moment: "You are not a student of our school?" ”

The other party smiled: "You see that I don't look like I can be a student, I want to be a college student again, I'm afraid that other schools don't want me, haha!" ”

Yan Yan looked at the excited classmates around him and said, "Uncle, you're going to bleed a lot today......

"It's okay, for the first time in forty-one years, hemorrhage is worth it!" The middle-aged man on the opposite side raised the wine bottle, "Is there still wine?" Didn't ask for it again. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Yan Yan hurriedly picked up a bottle of beer on his table.

"How do you know so much about Hulay? His fans? The middle-aged man asked.

Yan Yan first shook his head, then puffed up his chest and said proudly, "No, I'm his teammate!" ”

"Why did the people from the Shining Star get here?" The middle-aged uncle was surprised, this is a bar after all, and as a fan, I still care a little about the bar when I see professional players appearing.

Yan Yan also understood, and hurriedly explained: "Uh, no...... I mean, I was his teammate when he was on the team at Higashikawa Middle School. ”

"Oh yes, he came out of school football...... "The middle-aged man suddenly realized." You're his teammate from the varsity team, so it's no wonder you know him so well...... Come, go one. ”

The bottles of the two men collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

At that moment, a man stood on a chair and shouted, "I announce that everyone will be free of orders tonight!" ”

"Who are you!" Someone asked in a loud voice.

"Bar owner!" The other party replied confidently.

"Holy! Boss atmosphere! ”

"Arrogant!"

"I wish the boss a prosperous business!!"

"Thank you, thank you! The Chinese team broke South Korea today, rejoicing and rejoicing! The boss stood in a chair and bowed his hands to everyone.

The middle-aged man retracted his gaze, smiled at Yan Yan, and poured the beer in his hand with his neck tilted.

Zhao Kangming saw that Shi Wuyun had just symbolically shaken hands with Lee An-in, the head coach of the South Korean team, and couldn't wait to dial the phone.

But the ringtone on the other end of the phone rang until the system automatically hung up, and the other party did not answer.

"Oh, you're waiting...... It's noisy there now, how could he hear your call? And maybe it was muted before the game? The wife advised.

Zhao Kangming was pacing back and forth in the living room in a hurry, as if he didn't know what Hu Lai's specific injuries were today, and he couldn't sleep.

"Huh, Hulai?" As he paced back and forth with his head down, he heard his wife exclaim.

He hurriedly looked up at the TV.

Hulai did appear on the screen, he had already walked to the post-match interview area, and was about to be interviewed by reporters!

"Huh?" Zhao Kangming was surprised, his eyes widened and he wanted to find props such as crutches in the picture, but he didn't see it.

So he turned and asked his wife, "How did he get here?" ”

"How did it come about? It's coming. ”

"How did you get there?"

"I just walked on my legs ......"

"No crutches, no support? What about walking posture? Is it limping? Zhao Kangming asked repeatedly.

The wife shook her head: "I just walked normally, there were no crutches, no one to help, and I didn't limp." ”

Zhao Kangming frowned and stared at Hu Lai in the picture.

This kid isn't hurt?

Was it so lucky?

β€»β€»β€»

"You see, he walked into the picture on his own, which means that his injuries may not be serious, or they are not injured at all." Hu Lixin pointed to Hu Lai on the TV screen and said to his wife.

Xie Lan stared at his son, but still shook his head: "I'll ask him directly when it's over!" ”

"Tsk, why don't you believe me?" Hu Lixin said, "Let me tell you, if he was really injured, with that kind of serious injury, it would be impossible for Hu Lai to stay here, and he would have been sent to the hospital a long time ago." The team would never let him go for an interview like that...... I think that if he can be interviewed, it means that there should be no problem with his injury. ”

As he was talking, the reporter on TV asked Hulai: "First of all, Hulai, everyone is very concerned about your injuries......

"Ah, I'm lucky, it was a little painful at the time, but now I don't feel any pain in my ankle at all. Thank you all for your concern for me, I'm fine now. ”

"Is it true?" The CCTV reporter seemed a little incredulous.

"Of course, they wouldn't have let me be interviewed, would they?"

"That's ......," the reporter also thought there was nothing wrong with what Hulai said, so he added, "Then congratulations, Hulai." This is your first international game, and you have completed a hat-trick, and it is against South Korea, and it is with your hat-trick that you put an end to 'Koreanphobia'. Is there anything you would like to say at this moment? ”

"What do you want to say...... It's just happy, especially happy. Hulay smiled happily, and his smile made his answer extra believable. I didn't expect to play like that on my debut, I thought I could score just one goal, but I didn't expect to score three goals. I feel ......"

Here he paused, his gaze visibly glancing upwards of the camera.

Because he saw Li Qingqing waving to him from the stands directly opposite him.

The smile on his face widened.

Then he quickly retracted his gaze and continued to look at the camera, saying: "I feel that the Seoul World Cup Stadium is my blessed place, and I especially enjoy the feeling of playing here." If I have the opportunity in the future, I would like to come here and compete! ”

The CCTV reporter who interviewed him was a woman, and the smile on her face stiffened when she heard Hu Lai say thisβ€”with a woman's intuition, she felt that Hu Lai's words were obviously not as simple as he said.

This kid is actually mocking the performance of Korean fans today, right?

Thinking of the celebration after his third ball, the female reporter confirmed her guess more and more.

She suddenly realized that the "hero" of Chinese football in front of her might not be the same as the Chinese players she had interviewed before.

You want to say that he is simple, he is obviously an "old onmyoji"; But if you want to say that he is quite deep in the city, he didn't even say anything about the scene when he was interviewed.

Even if he didn't mock the Korean fans at the end, what did he mean by "I thought I could score just one goal" when he said before?

How many people can't even score a goal in a match between China and South Korea, but you say "just one goal is enough", is this okay thing? It's not a guaranteed consumption......

What do you think when you let other people hear?

The female reporter realized that she was still working on the scene and should not be distracted, so she quickly retracted her thoughts and asked: "I got off to a good start in the first game and defeated the powerful South Korean team." So what is your ultimate goal in the East Asian Cup? Or what do you expect from your performance in this East Asian Cup? ”

Hulai smiled: "Two small goals, first, to help the team win the championship." Second, the individual gets the top scorer. ”

The female reporter was stunned for a moment, why is this answer so familiar......

By the way, isn't that what Park Gye-hyun said? In an interview with the South Korean media before the East Asian Cup, he was asked what his goal was, and he answered like this......

Is Hu Lai going to be on a par with Park Gye-hyun?

Let's not talk about the ownership of the championship, let's talk about personal honors, Hu Lai currently scores one goal in the scorer list, ranking first in the list, while Park Gye-hyun is zero, the gap is very big......

You must know that in the previous East Asian Cup, there was even a situation where two goals could be the top scorer.

Even if Hulai doesn't score a single goal in the next two games, those three goals may make him the top scorer in the East Asian Cup.

It's really possible for him to get it, and the others have the guts to say it!

The female reporter suddenly realized what was the weirdest thing about this matter......

You have to know how many Chinese players have been before, whether they have the strength or not, they don't dare to talk like this.

If you dare to say it, you will definitely be scolded to death by the media and fans.

"Arrogance", "disrespect for opponents", "toads want to eat swan meat"...... Such hats were buttoned at him one after another, and one person could drown such an ignorant player with a mouthful of spit.

So much so that a reporter like her, after hearing this kind of answer, will be shocked by the attitude he dares to say, rather than the specific content of his answer.

But the person in front of him not only said it openly, but also didn't make her feel incredible as a reporter all of a sudden, but seriously thought about whether he could really achieve it.

By the way, this young man said before that his dream is to win the World Cup on behalf of the Chinese team......

Compared with the East Asian Cup champion and top scorer, it is obviously the World Cup champion who is more exciting, right?

Since the latter have been spoken, what is the former?

After all, compared with the World Cup champion, the East Asian Cup champion and the top scorer of the East Asian Cup are really a ...... "small goal"!

Thinking about it, the reporter suddenly felt that it was not worth making a fuss about it, so she smiled and said, "Then good luck!" Hulai! ”
