"I've heard on the Internet that Hulay has set a record that no one has done before......"

"Did you score five goals in nine minutes?"

"Yes!"

"It's really amazing, it's been three days since this happened, but there are still many people on the Internet who are talking about it......"

On the bus, the players of the Japanese Olympic team were discussing Hulai as they were on their way from their hotel to the quarter-finals.

Later at 4:30 p.m., they will face their opponent in the quarter-finals, the Uzbekistan Olympic team, who are second in Group A.

But everyone is still talking about the Chinese Olympic team.

"It's a shame that we can't meet China in the quarter-finals unless they can make it to the final......"

"Morikawa, what are you regretting? Even if we can meet the Chinese team, you can't defend Hulai anymore, you are now a [ ] back midfielder! The teammates shouted.

This caused laughter from the rest of the car inside.

Amid the laughter, Junhei Morikawa defended: "I just want to express my gratitude to Hu San personally for giving me the jersey and encouraging me to ......"

"Speaking of which, I still can't understand how Hulai went to exchange jerseys for Morikawa......"

"Me too, me too, what does Hu Lai like about Morikawa?"

"Maybe you think Morikawa is a bully? Ha! ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Junhei Morikawa blushed and retorted loudly, "Husan is a very gentle person!" He just didn't want me to be knocked to the ground, and I didn't live up to his expectations! ”

As he spoke, a hand clasped his head, causing him to subconsciously shrink his neck.

"Morikawa is right, otherwise you wouldn't be on this team." Tatsuya Sugiyama, the captain of the team, rubbed Morikawa's hair, and then said to the other players, "Okay, okay, don't make fun of Morikawa." Don't discuss how the Chinese team is doing, our opponent in this game is Uzbekistan. ”

As soon as he said this, the laughter in the car died down, and everyone became serious.

Koichi Sato, the head coach of the Japanese Olympic team, who was sitting at the front of the bus, smiled and said to the assistant coach: "Oh, yes, with Sugiyama, I'm really trouble-free as the head coach......

In the midst of Japan's quarter-final clash with Uzbekistan, all the Chinese players arrived at their venue against Palestine, the People's Stadium in Jingyang, the capital of Haining province, which has not played in Dashun since qualifying from the group.

They also watched the game live on TV in the dressing room.

At the beginning of the second half, the Japanese team had a 3:0 lead over the Uzbekistan Olympic team.

Wang Guangwei suddenly pointed to a Japanese Olympic team player on the TV screen and said, "Eh, Hulai, isn't this the Japanese player you exchanged jerseys with him?" ”

The Japanese player who appeared on it was none other than Junhei Morikawa.

"Looks like he's ......," Hulay was a little unsure.

"What is it like? Look at his small body, who else could he be? Wang Guangwei was impressed by this man because he knew why Hulai wanted to exchange jerseys after he went.

The teammates of the other national Olympic teams also thought about it, and then they were even more surprised: "Isn't his body even unable to carry Hulai?" Why is it still the main force? ”

"Because people don't play centre-backs anymore." Gao Ruimin pointed to the TV screen and said, "You didn't see what his position on the field was...... Lower back? ”

"I'll ...... Really! ”

Everyone turned their attention to Hulai again.

"What do you see me doing?"

"Look at the people you forced, Hulai, from the center back to the back!"

Hu Lai frowned: "And this is the case?" ”

"How did this guy hit the back?" Someone asked curiously.

Wang Guangwei quickly checked the information, and then said: "Judging from the appearance record of the U23 Asian Cup, he should be the main midfielder of the Japanese Olympic team......

The eyes were on Hulai again.

Wang Guangwei also looked at Hu Lai and said: "Hu Lai, you seem to have encouraged a strong opponent by sending a jersey......

Hu Lai spread his hands: "Shut up my!" ”

"Uzbekistan's midfield core Lingenev is in trouble today......"

As the commentator said this, Eskar Lingenev, a player of the Uzbek Olympic team wearing the number 10 jersey on the field, was spreading his hands and complaining to the referee.

But his complaint was of little use, and the referee did not blow the Japanese number 14 next to him for a foul.

"Junhei Morikawa was very well marked by Lingenev, making it almost difficult for Lingenev to get the ball in the air. Junhei Morikawa's physical condition is not excellent, but he has a tenacious fighting spirit and flexible reflexes, and he is really not good at playing central defender. However, after switching to the midfield, he quickly rose to prominence, and now he has become the main midfielder of the Japanese Olympic team......"

From the moment the Japanese Olympic team played their first match at the U23 Asian Cup, CCTV commentators briefed Chinese TV viewers about the relationship between the player and Hulai. So everyone knows what made Junhei Morikawa go from a central defender who couldn't even play a game to the main midfielder of the Japanese Olympic team.

Whoever is honest, everyone thinks it's amazing.

Many people have seen Junpei Morikawa completely defeated by Hulai in the East Asian Cup.

At that time, few people could have imagined that a year later, Junhei Morikawa would complete a gorgeous transformation.

I have to say that this Japanese kid is a bit ruthless. temporarily changed the position on the field, and it only took a year to play......

Soon the Uzbekistan Olympic team made substitutions, and the main midfielder Eskar Lingenev, who did not perform well on the field, was replaced early.

Lingenev, who was off the field, sat on the bench, hiding his face and crying.

He was certainly not happy with his performance, but he also knew that Uzbekistan, who were three goals behind, would most likely be eliminated from the Madrid Olympics.

Any team and player with quality who comes to participate in the U23 Asian Cup will of course hope to qualify for the Olympic Games.

Now that dreams are beaten to pieces in front of me, how can it not make people feel sad?

Junpei Morikawa, who was on the field, naturally noticed Lingenev, who was sitting on the sidelines and covering his face and crying bitterly after the game, and he was a little emotional.

Think that at the beginning, after I was replaced in advance in the East Asian Cup, I was so embarrassed and gaffe, right?

He almost got knocked out, if it weren't for Hulay coming up to him after the game and handing him the shirt......

He didn't wash the jersey when he took it back, he framed it and hung it on the wall of his house.

After deciding to switch from centre-back to midfield, he faced a lot of difficulties, not just moving a few metres forward. The requirements of the two positions are different, the standards for testing the player's ability are also different, and the mindset that has been developed by years of training as a centre-back - he will always look at the game from the perspective of a central defender and think about how to deal with it, but this is not the same as the midfield, which will make him make a lot of mistakes in the early days of switching to a central midfield.

Those mistakes made his decision to switch to a midfield look like a gamble.

Some people have advised him that he doesn't have to do this, even if he can't be a good central defender, it's not bad to be a full-back.

Whenever things got tough, Junhei Morikawa would lock himself in his tiny bedroom, sit cross-legged on the floor, and stare at the Huley jersey hanging on the wall.

In the process, confidence gradually took root and sprouted from the bottom of his heart, which gave him the courage to continue walking.

In this way, it only took him one year to complete the magnificent transformation from an ordinary central defender to an excellent midfielder.

He was selected for the Japanese Olympic team again and became a regular in this team.

It all started when the guy came to him with the jersey.

Junhei Morikawa feels that he is lucky, and it is completely unimaginable what his life would have become if he hadn't met Hu Laisan.

So he decided to go to Linguev after the match to exchange jerseys, hoping to pass on hope and courage to his opponent.

Because it was given to him by Hulaisan attached to that jersey.

※※※

Looking at the way Linguev sat on the sidelines crying after being replaced, and the 0:3 score on the TV screen, the players of the Chinese team were suddenly a little speechless, and no one was in the mood to joke and ridicule anymore.

The same opponent, in the group stage, they can only play a draw with their opponent.

As a result, in the knockout stage, the Japanese team beat Uzbekistan 3:0 so easily......

When Shi Wuyun saw this scene, the stone in his heart fell to the ground - although this was not deliberately arranged by him, it was exactly the result he wanted.

After beating Qatar 7:1, coupled with the lack of strength in the quarterfinals opponent Palestine, many players of the Chinese team seem to have a blind self-confidence mentality, feeling that the Olympic qualification is like a bag for them.

In such a situation, seeing the opponent who made them very uncomfortable in the group stage was beaten like this by the Japanese team, it really woke up many people from the dream of blind confidence.

So he stood up, walked to the TV, and said to the players: "I tell you, the South Korean team in the East Asian Cup last year was not the strongest, and the Japanese team was not the strongest, so don't think that you can do anything if you win the East Asian Cup." Let's play the next game against Palestine. If you stop here, aren't you wasting those five goals from Hulay? ”

With these words, everyone turned their attention to Hulai again.

Hu Lai was accustomed to being the focus of everyone's attention today, and under everyone's gaze, he said very seriously: "Please actively respond to the call of the country, be diligent and thrifty, and waste is shameful." ”
