Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Retrograde Goalkeeper

Sun Gang returned to the bench and did not greet anyone. Just picked up his coat, draped it over his shoulders, and walked out of the court alone.

Sun Gang's back left endless gloom on the fans, and those fans who sat in the stands eating melon seeds and chatting about the world with their lips talking about right and wrong could not understand the pressure on the pitch of a conscientious goalkeeper in any case.

Especially in this life-and-death battle, when the team as a whole is in a slump, stuck in a dead end, and there is no hope in sight.

It can be said that Sun Gang's performance in the first half can be regarded as an extraordinary performance.

Although Nakata's long-range shots were threatening, they were all denied by Nakata without exception.

No matter how fierce and clever the Japanese team attacked, the national Olympic team still did not concede a single goal.

Even until Sun Gang left the field with a red card, the score on the field was still 0-0.

It's a pity that Sun Gang was not as strong and brave as his name, and at the last moment, he chose to use a special way to achieve liberation.

He can't be blamed for that!

It's human instinct.

Otherwise, like Germany's Enke, under the influence of the aura of Mayer, Schumacher, the lion king Kahn and the madman Lehmann, as well as injuries, this former genius finally chose to commit suicide due to depression, left the football field, and died.

Sun Gang, who walked into the players' tunnel, disappeared from the camera, and the cameraman on the sidelines kept capturing the footage of the National Olympic coaching staff.

When Sun Gang was shown a red card, all the coaches stood up and craned their necks in unison to watch the movement on the field. After confirming that the referee's decision could not be changed, Ladd was the first to turn around and look at Ou Chuliang, who stood up in the coach's seat and took off his coat.

"Oh, you..."

"Coach, it's my turn." Ou Chuliang said indifferently.

"Xiao Ou, no, you can't play!" Gu Ming Chang subconsciously refused, "Vice Chairman Xu said that even if you can't qualify, you can't let you..."

"Let me start, yes?" Ou Chuliang smiled slightly, "Vice Chairman Xu said that I can't start, but he didn't say that I can't be a substitute!" ”

"You, you, this, this..." Gu Ming Chang was choked by Ou Chuliang for a while, unable to speak.

He didn't expect Ou Chuliang to play a word game at this time, and he didn't expect that in his heart at this moment, he didn't even want to refute.

"Xiaoou, don't be tough, the coach and the chairman are for your own good. You still have injuries on your body and can't play. Coach Zhao stood up at this time, "Let Sun Jianjun go to guard the door, just don't waste the substitution quota." ”

"Coach Zhao, I think the National Olympic Games need a professional goalkeeper!" Ou Chuliang shook his head and said, "And I am just such a team member. In a time of crisis like this, I can't continue to sit on the bench and watch, so please allow me to play. ”

"Alright, Mr. Ladd, we're going to hurry, do you have anything to warn you of?"

After Ou Chuliang finished speaking, he went directly to Ladd's side and stood beside him and looked at the court.

Seeing that Ou Chu's conscience had been decided, Ladd no longer hesitated, and directly pointed to No. 14 Nakata Hideshou and said, "Ou, you need to restrain him." ”

"What else?"

"Organize an attack."

"Okay, I got it." Ou Chuliang nodded, hugged the replaced No. 15 Zhou Li, and ran into the court with his fists in hand.

Rad made two extremely excessive demands, just like when buying something, the seller's first offer is a lion's mouth, waiting for the buyer to sit on the ground and pay back.

Restricting the opposing midfielder is a matter for defenders and midfielders; Organizing the attack is a matter of midfield.

Neither of these things is the goalkeeper's task, but he "presses" these two heavy tasks on Ou Chuliang's shoulders.

But Ou Chuliang responded all of them without the slightest hesitation.

When others couldn't resist the pressure and abstained, he put more pressure on his shoulders and went against the grain.

Looking at Ou Chuliang's arrogant back, even the translation assistant couldn't help but lean over to Ladd's side and said, "Mr. Ladd, don't you think such a request is a bit too much for a child under 20 years old?" What's more, he's still a goalkeeper, and it's a blessing that he can keep the goal..."

"Slavic, that's all I can do. Moreover, you underestimate him too much. Ou has more energy in his body than you can imagine, and I'm sure he can do it. ”

Unlike Rade, who had a "blind" confidence in Ou Chuliang, Gu Mingchang hurriedly ran to the bottom of the stands and looked in the direction of Vice Chairman Xu.

Vice Chairman Xu stood up and waved at Gu Mingchang, indicating that he already knew about it.

Gu Mingchang tiptoed back to the coach's seat with a little weakness, not knowing Vice Chairman Xu's inner thoughts.

"Alas! It's a matter of success or failure! If it is done, it will fall into two sentences of criticism; If it doesn't work out, I'm afraid I'll be the assistant teacher of the National Olympic Games! ”

After Sun Gang got off the field, there was already chaos on the court.

Yang Chen and Xie Hui were still arguing with the referees, while some smart Japanese players began to gather together to discuss who would take the penalty.

"Nakata-kun, you created this penalty, it's up to you to kick it!" Captain No. 7, Maezono Shinsheng, did not hesitate to give up some power.

"Yes, this penalty is perfect for Nakata to be taken by the monarch, and I agree with it!" Striker Shoji Shoji also nodded.

Seeing that the first two penalty pickers took the initiative to abstain, Hidetoshi Nakata couldn't help but be arrogant.

"Since Maezono-kun and Joaki-kun have said so, then I will take this penalty." Nakata Hideshou waved his hand, "If you can't get in, I, Nakata, will apologize." ”

"Hahahahaha, Nakata-kun, you're really kidding." The rest of the squad laughed, neither did they think Nakata would miss a penalty or that Nakata would actually have a disembowelment.

The game has reached this point, and the National Olympic Games have basically become dough in a basin, and whether to cut or knead depends on the mood of others.

But just as Hidetoshi Nakata was holding the ball majestically towards the penalty spot, his pupils suddenly closed, and he saw a familiar face.

"Nakata-kun, what's wrong with you?" Hattori stopped when he saw Nakata walking in front of him, patted him on the shoulder and asked curiously.

"Oh, no, it's nothing..."Nakata Hidetoshi looked at Ou Chuliang, who was twisting his neck and moving his joints in front of the goal, and a wave of fear appeared in his heart for no reason.

Suck~~~Exhale~~~

Hidetoshi Nakata took a deep breath and forced himself to compose.

Since losing to Jianlibao in Brazil, Ou Chuliang's goalmouth prediction has become Nakata's nightmare. How many times have I woken up from nightmares, and Nakata's forehead is covered with sweat.

Nakata, what are you hesitating about? Such a good opportunity for revenge, you must seize it!

Looking at Ou Chuliang, who was already ready on the goal line, Nakata Hidetoshi, who gradually calmed down, began to beat faster.

Yes, he used to scare me, but now is the best time for me to overcome my demons!

I've got the right time, and there's no reason why I'm going to lose to him again!

Iβ€”I have no reason to be afraid of him!

Even, even, it should be him who is afraid at this time, not me!

Not me!!!

Nakata Hidetoshi once again mustered up his courage and tried to make eye contact with Ou Chuliang. He didn't see fear in Ou Chuliang's eyes, but an endless abyss.

Ou Chuliang's deep eyes seemed to have infinite magical power, and Nakata felt as if his body was wandering in the vast and boundless universe.

"Nakata !!"

Maezono Shinsheng's shouting pulled Nakata back to reality, Nakata hurriedly looked around, the national Olympic and Japanese players had withdrawn from the penalty area, and only he, Ou Chuliang and the referee were left in the penalty area.

"What happened to me just now?" Nakata Hidetoshi secretly pinched the flesh of the tiger's mouth, "How can you be cranky at this time?" ”

It's a penalty! The goalkeeper is always the passive and underdog!

Now, all I have to do is kick the ball in that damn gate and it's all over!

What am I afraid of?

Thinking of this, Nakata took a deep breath and began to prepare for the run.

At the moment before he got up, Nakata Hidetoshi suddenly saw the corners of Ou Chuliang's slightly upturned mouth from the afterglow.

"What? Did he guess it again? ”

Hidetoshi Nakata was cold, and the fear of being guessed by Ou Chuliang with every shot of Brazil suddenly popped into his mind.

Taking advantage of the moment when Nakata's mind was lost, Ou Chuliang bent his knees and threw his body to the right.

Duang!

The speeding ball hit Ou Chuliang's chest right away, and Ou Chuliang held it with both hands.

Click!

It was like a thunderbolt from the blue, shaking Hidetoshi Nakata in place.

When history evolved into reality, Ou Chuliang's voice, smile, posture and body shape were all imprinted in Nakata Hidetoshi's heart, and they slowly merged with the photo that was nailed to the table yesterday.

"No, it can't be!"

Hidetoshi Nakata hung his hands and shook his head incessantly.

The devil in his heart kept magnifying in front of him, one step, two steps... Hidetoshi Nakata retreated, but he couldn't get rid of it.

At the moment when Nakata kicked the penalty, Maezono Shinsei, who had already prepared for a supplementary shot, immediately rushed out. But he never expected that this ball would be completely saved by Ou Chuliang, and he didn't even get out of his hand.

"Maezono-kun, I..."

Nakata shuddered, and he found that he had come to an execution ground at some point, and the judges, judges, and others around him were all coaches and teammates.

Captain No. 7 Maezono Shinsheng stepped forward and handed over the katana in his hand: "Nakata-kun, it's time for you to fulfill your promise!" ”

"No !!"

Nakata yelled, took a step back, and waved his hand away from the katana in Maezono's hand.

"Nakata-kun, what are you doing?" The urging of the true saint of the front garden sounded in his ears again. Coming to his senses, Nakata found himself still standing on the pitch, surrounded by players running towards the outside of the box.

"Maeda-kun, hurry back to defense!" Shoji Jojo's voice also sounded in his ears.

Nakata hurriedly turned around, only to find that the ball had already flown forward at some point and landed accurately at Xie Hui's feet.

At this time, Xie Hui was single-handedly killing the Japanese team's penalty area.

The stands of the Chinese team fell silent for half the court, and finally broke out into unprecedented cheers.
