"what?"
Ten minutes after the start of the game, the head coach Shi Wuyin frowned and made such an exclamation.
Li Zhifei, the assistant coach next to him, can also see: "Nigeria's defense against Hulay is beyond imagination..."
Before the game, Shi Wuyin and his coaching team believed that Nigeria would definitely look down on the Olympic team. It is normal for them not to put the Olympic team in their eyes. After all, there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides.
Even if the British coach Kane Roger, the head coach of Nigeria, warned his players not to underestimate the enemy, how many of those African players can really take the head coach's words to heart?
It is not uncommon for African players to have poor tactical discipline.
But now the Nigerian Olympic team players who appeared in front of Shi Wuyin did not seem to be arrogant and underestimate the enemy.
In particular, their defense of Hu Lai has almost reached the point of inseparability-no matter how Hu Lai runs, someone will appear next to him in time, rob him fiercely, and use his physical advantage to rush and interfere with him. Don't let him take the ball comfortably.
This level of defense is indeed something that Shi Wuyin's coaching team did not expect before the game.
Relying on their inherent impression, they made the judgment that their opponents would definitely underestimate the enemy, highlighting their lack of experience and ability in this regard.
"We made a mistake, Xiao Shi..." Lao Li gritted his teeth.
Shi Wuyin did not respond to him, but looked at the stadium with solemn expression.

Although Hu Lai raised his hand at the front of the penalty area to ask for the ball, Guo Junfu still did not pass the football to him, but to Luo Kai on the right.
Hulai turned and ran into the penalty area, with a Nigerian player still following him.
Luo Kai first made a move to pass, then dribbled horizontally, and then took a long shot with his left foot.
With the football higher than the crossbar, the Chinese Olympic team's attack came to an end.
Hu Lai did not get any chance.
It's not that Luo Kai deliberately didn't pass the ball to him, but he really didn't have a good chance here.
He neither ran into the open nor got rid of the defense. Even if Luo Kai passed the ball to him, he would not be able to hold the ball in all likelihood.
A situation like this happened in the Chinese team's last attack. At that time, Chen Xingyi still passed the football to Hu Lai.
Hu Lai received the ball, but after the Nigerian defender's close pressure snatched it, he couldn't even turn around, not to mention the shot. He was able to hold the ball under the close pressure of the opposing defender. Unexpected.
In the end, Hu Lai could only pass the football back.
Therefore, it is normal for Luo Kai to not pass the ball to him. It is better to use him to advance into the penalty area and open up the opportunity of the forward defense of Nigeria's penalty area to try a long shot.
Of course, the quality of Luo Kai's long shot is really not high...
Seeing Luo Kai’s shot in the air, Hu Lai shook his head, and then said in English to the Nigerian No. 4 central defender Kennedy Omero next to him:
Big brother, what are you staring at me for? Don’t say I’m not. Remind you... Did you see that our No. 9 used the time you retreated behind me to complete the shot. He is our most threatening player!"
Omero was a little surprised when he saw Hu Lai talking to him. His eyes widened, his eyes almost bulging out: "You can speak English?"
"How fresh, we have 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 threatening part of our team is the guy who just shot."
Omero grinned and shook his head: "Don't try to lie to me, I know you are our team's number one threat. The coach specially showed me your video of five goals in nine minutes."
Hearing what the other party said, 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 reach far away in Nigeria, and he did not expect that nine minutes and five goals, the highlight of his career, would become the shackles that now restrain him in the Olympics.
When preparing for this game, the head coach of the Nigeria Olympic team, Kane Roger, played a video of Hulai’s nine minutes and five goals specifically for his team, and then pointed to the person who kept running to celebrate. The players said:
Keep in mind this face, he will be your biggest threat in this game! Star him, don’t give him any space to catch the ball! Fouls are okay, as long as it’s not ours Just inside the restricted area!"
Kennedy Omero is obviously an obedient player. He firmly remembered Hulay's face and his performance of scoring five goals in nine minutes.
When the head coach Kane Roger released this video, inhales and exclaims continued to sound in the room.
The Nigerian players looked stunned one by one, and never thought that anyone could score five goals in nine minutes.
And the head coach also specifically emphasized to them that this game is an Asian qualifier for the Olympic Games, not a friendly game played casually.
In order to deepen the players' correct understanding of the difficulty of Hulai to complete this miraculous performance.
Isn't a player who can score five goals in nine minutes in this kind of game deserves to be taken seriously?
Thus, Hu Lai was on Nigeria's "VIP list" and became a person to be taken care of.
Through this period of competition, Hu Lai also knew that the other party was not talking about him.
He was indeed being closely guarded by the opponent.
And this only stems from his superb performance in the qualifiers...
Careless!

"The game has been going on for a while, and Hu Lai hasn't even had a chance to shoot a goal so far. He was very defensive by Nigeria..." He Feng's voice explaining the game was transmitted to the TV via satellite signals in the live commentary. When Xie Lan was in front of him, it was slightly distorted.
"The Nigerian player's body is too strong, and Hu Lai suffers from physical confrontation..." said Yan Kang, who was also on the scene.
Xie Lan frowned when she heard the words of these two men: "What did those black babies grow up on? Didn't it mean that Africa has been suffering from year-round famine?"
"What's the mess of you... People are professional players anyway, how can they not have enough food? And these Nigerian Olympic team players are basically playing in European clubs, so how can their living conditions be poor? "Hu Lixin has done some homework. It's 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 he is still an E-certificate, he has now followed the coach The standards require themselves.
Xie Lan was not reconciled, and quickly found her blind spot: "Are they really twenty-three-year-old young people? Will there be a change in age? Change the big one to the small one. Look at this person, with an old man same……"
She pointed to the Nigerian central defender Kennedy Omero, who was defending Hulai, and asked her husband.
"Black people are obviously 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 because everyone changes their age..."
Seeing that he had raised two consecutive questions and both were solved by her husband, Xie Lan was annoyed: "Which side are you on earth?"
Hu Lixin:? ? ?
But he also knew that his wife was a little impetuous because his son didn't perform well.
So he didn't know much about his wife, just continued to concentrate on watching the game.

Nigeria did not underestimate the Olympic team as Shi Wuyin had imagined.
For example, their defense against Hu Lai is very good.
After containing the most threatening person in the Olympic team's offense, they launched a fierce attack on the Olympic team's goal.
Although the Olympic team's defense is very tenacious.
But still in the thirty-first minute, the goal was declared missed.
"Okuye... dangerous!"
Accompanied by He Feng's exclamation, the Nigerian Olympic team forward Zad Ocuye forced into the penalty area with speed and kicked off before Wang Guangwei came up to block him!
Goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan fell to the ground to save, and touched the football with his hand, but the shot was heavy. Lin Zhiyuan just touched the football, but he could not change the direction of the football.
The ball finally broke into the net...
"Oh! I still lost the ball! After Nigeria's offensive during this period of time, the Olympic team's defense has always been very dangerous, and ultimately failed to defend..."
After losing the ball, Lin Zhiyuan looked back and saw the football in the goal and thumped the turf very angrily.
The black striker's shooting power is really too big, it seems that the action is not big, but the football he kicked out is like a cannonball, he rushed through his fingers and flew into the goal...
"Hey!" Xie Lan sighed, and the whole person slowly fell to the back of the sofa.
Hu Lixin, who was sitting next to her, maintained his previous posture, with his hands around his chest, sitting upright on the sofa cushion, motionless.

"Ugh!"
There was a burst of sighs in the hotel conference room.
It was the women's football players who watched the game collectively. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
Although they know that the strength of the two sides is very different and it is inevitable to lose the ball, when the Olympic team really loses the ball, the women's football girls still feel sorry for the Olympic team.
"It would be great if I could hold on to the end of the first half, and adjust it again during the intermission to keep a draw... and now I lost the ball, alas!"
"It's hard to defend. The Olympic team's offense hasn't improved much. In the past ten minutes, it was basically pressed by the opponent. It will be a matter of time before the ball is lost..."
"Never mind if you lose less and win."
"Yeah, it took half an hour to defend before losing the ball. Their performance is already very good. After all, this is their first Olympic game!"
The kind-hearted female football players have begun to find reasons and excuses for the failure of the Olympic team. It seems that after losing the game, public opinion is full of all kinds of cynicism and verbal abuse.
Li Qingqing did not say a word, Xu Wen next to her touched her: "What do you think of Qingqing?"
"Me?" Li Qingqing didn't expect the other party to ask herself, froze for a moment and then shook her head, "I have no opinion, the game is not over yet."
"Yes, yes, the game is not over. But Hu Lai's game is completely frozen, how can he score?"
"I don't know." Li Qingqing shook his head.
"Aren't you worried?" Xu Wen continued to ask. Since knowing that Li Qingqing and Hu Lai have known each other a long time ago, she has been particularly concerned about the relationship between the two.
"Don't worry, you can't worry."
"Wow, ruthless!"
Li Qingqing gave her a white look: "What does this have to do with ruthlessness? Worried here, can he score goals?"
"Uh...it's true."
"Watching the ball, don't worry about those who don't." Li Qingqing raised his hand and patted Xu Wen lightly.
Xu Wen shrank her neck and followed Li Qingqing to watch the game.
