Chapter 98: I have something to say


"Hu Lai...Long shot!!! Beautiful!!! Good shot! With seven minutes left in the game, the Chinese team recovered a goal! Now the score is 1:2, we still have a chance! Come on, the Chinese team! do not give up!"
Hu Lai, who had just scored a long shot, did not go to the corner flag area to celebrate this time. Instead, he greeted Zhou Zijing, who was just in front of the goal, to pick up the football from the goal and let the Iranian team kick off quickly.
Before he could do this, Zhou Zijing had already rushed into the goal, and even almost clashed with the Iranian goalkeeper-he wanted to pick up the ball, but the football was kicked away by the Iranian goalkeeper and let him Pounced empty.
This made Zhou Zijing very upset, but he just glared at the other party severely, and didn't really go up to the other party to make a theory.
He knows that if he really makes trouble for the other party, maybe it will cause a riot. Isn't it the Chinese team that will be damaged by that time? Because it was the time of the Chinese team that was delayed...
"The game is over... The Chinese team finally failed to score another goal... The score was finally fixed at 1:2. The Chinese team regrettably lost to Iran and missed the Asian Cup semi-finals..."
With He Feng's low tone of commentary, the Chinese team players on the field gave up running.
Hu Lai appeared in the close-up of the match broadcast. He Feng continued: "Hu Lai was very active in this game. He scored a goal for the Chinese team in the 83rd minute. He once let us Seeing hope...he looked very frustrated in the camera, but in fact his performance is already very good..."
Hu Lai did look very depressed. The other person was standing on the court with his hands on his hips, panting heavily, his eyes blank, and he didn't know where he was looking at.
An Iranian player came up and wanted to shake hands with him, but he just perfunctorily didn't even have a polite smile on his face.
It can be seen from this lens that he really regrets and saddens the team to stop in the quarter-finals.
Before this Asian Cup, he and his teammates had high hopes.
The semifinals are the official goal, and winning the championship is what everyone thinks the Chinese team should accomplish.
As a result, they went home in the quarterfinals.
In fact, Hu Lai himself performed very well in this Asian Cup, scoring seven goals, ranking first in the scorer list. He may be the most qualified person in the Chinese team to leave the Asian Cup with his head high...
"Hu Lai, although I didn't advance to the semi-finals this time. But the first time you participated in the Asian Cup, there is hope that you will get the top scorer. It is still a good result..." When Hu Lai stood in front of the background board for an interview , The voice of CCTV beauty reporter Wang Shanshan sounded.
She should be to comfort Hu Lai, who can be seen unhappy at a glance.
But Hu Lai, who is always very polite, did not accept her affection this time. He interrupted her directly and said in a blunt tone: "I don't care if I can hold the golden boots. Compared with this, I hope we can Go further in the Asian Cup..."
The picture is frozen here.
Li Qingqing, who pressed the pause button, stared at the frowning face on the phone screen, and then frowned.

"Ugh……"
While waiting for their respective luggage at the airport baggage carousel in Frankfurt, Xia Xiaoyu sighed and said: "I don't know if we have been scolded by the Internet now..."
Since the 0:2 loss to Iraq in the first match of the Asian Cup, there have been endless scolding on the Internet against the Chinese team. Although most of Dong Jianhai's scolding, there are also many people scolding players. At that time, Xia Xiaoyu stopped surfing the Internet and closed himself up.
"Not at all." Zhang Qinghuan shook his head, "On the contrary, everyone was surprisingly tolerant this time, and they all felt that we did our best..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Guangwei next to him suddenly said: "I don't think I tried my best."
The others turned to look at him.
Wang Guangwei, who was watching by everyone, continued: "I think I played like in this Asian Cup..."
"Pharaoh, don't say that..." Chen Xingyi said to comfort him. "Somehow you scored a goal, why did you perform badly?"
Wang Guangwei shook his head and did not accept solace: "What's the use of scoring a goal? I am a central defender, and defense is my job. I have lost goals every game and it is indeed a problem for the defenders. Yao is getting older and I should top it. Go up. But no... so my performance in this Asian Cup is just terrible."
"You have an objective reason..." Hu Lai also comforted him, "You basically didn't play a game in Eldrea, and it is normal to not play for a long time, and you can't find the state. But this is something. I can’t rush, this is a stage that I must go through."
Others nodded. As overseas players, they are all very empathetic. Just after leaving the country, they were completely unfamiliar with the environment, language barriers, different eating habits, no friends, no one to talk to, and anxiety about the future... all these torment them all the time.
At the same time, as overseas players, they themselves place the high expectations of domestic fans. Any disturbance can immediately attract the attention and discussion of millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of people, and the pressure is not ordinary.
Others only see the scenery of overseas players when they are officially announced to go abroad to play, but they do not see or do not want to see their hard work in Europe.
They have all experienced the "necessary stage" that Hu Lai said, but the length of time is different.
The situation for offensive players is better because it is easier to get opportunities. Defensive players are different. As a defensive player Wang Guangwei, this process will be extremely long.
This is why Lin Zhiyuan chose to decline when he received the invitation from the European team. Sane.
As a goalkeeper, if he goes abroad to play, I am afraid that he will not find a chance to play. It is possible to sit on the bench for several years.
Wang Guangwei still disagrees with Hu Lai's statement: "It doesn't make sense. Some players can't play at the club. Why can they perform well when they return to the national team? We have seen a lot of such examples in the World Cup, right? "
Hu Lai was speechless this time, and didn't know how to respond to Wang Guangwei.
"Speaking of the World Cup..." Wang Guangwei seemed to have a lot to say today, and the chatter box opened up and couldn't close.
He was obviously taciturn on the plane before... but maybe the silence at the time was just accumulating the desire to talk.
"Speaking of the World Cup... I have always remembered our first World Cup many times over the past six months. What do you think of our first World Cup performance?"
Wang Guangwei raised his head and looked at his friends, asking them to answer this question.
Everyone looked at each other and didn't know how to answer Wang Guangwei's question, because they didn't know what Wang Guangwei's question meant.
Seeing that they didn’t speak, Wang Guangwei continued:
Do you think we were unbeaten in the first World Cup, and the last match was a 3:3 draw with Brazil, which was pretty good? After that World Cup, we came back from the plane. Go all the way to the airport, and then back to my hometown...Which is not the celebration party? It is popular wherever you go. If you go out and be recognized by the fans, don't even think about running... The unexperienced is even more exaggerated than after we entered the World Cup."
When other people heard Wang Guangwei say this, they all showed a trance. The scenes at the beginning were replayed before their eyes like a movie, and it was indeed "unprecedented."
As professional players, they have never enjoyed such an exaggerated treatment before — even after the Olympics came back to the point where they are welcome without being scolded. After all, the previous Chinese male football players are no different from the crossing rats, and they can be classified as the same as the and murderers. When it comes to male football players, everyone gritted their teeth and tried their best to belittle them.
"I'm not saying that our results in the World Cup were not good enough. I just think that we can actually do better. We finally...gave up the chance to win. After Hu Lai equalized, there are actually six minutes before the end of the game. Seven minutes. At that time, the Brazil team was already panicking. If we can push out and fight them hard, maybe we can beat them and replace them as the qualifying team?"
Wang Guangwei's words took everyone present in a daze.
Chen Xingyi remembered the dream he had on the plane back home, but he hit the goal post with one shot, missing the chance to kill Brazil.
The anguish and pain in the dream at that time were not real at all like a dream.
"...But we didn't do that. All of us are satisfied with the final draw with Brazil and get the group unbeaten... But what use is this unbeaten for us? In the end, we still go home? It’s all pressed up, and even if you can’t score, the final result will definitely not be worse than the group’s exit, right?
Wang Guangwei continued to say that he really
smashed
today.
"After the World Cup, everyone praised us, praised us, and affirmed our results and performance in the World Cup. So we think so too, as if it was such an amazing result... But I often think of it now. , But I only feel regret and regret. Regret why we did not think about fighting again, we may have missed the best chance to beat Brazil... The outside world said this was our first World Cup, so we were able to achieve this result. Very good. Indeed, but who has stipulated that the first time you participate in the World Cup, you should be content with only playing three group matches?"
Everyone present, Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi, Zhang Qinghuan, Luo Kai, and Xia Xiaoyu all listened to Wang Guangwei's words in silence.
"When I think about it now, I still feel ashamed that I didn't regard victory as a goal, but satisfied with a draw. I think this is wrong. The fans understand that we say that, but if we also forgive ourselves, we will find a lot of poor performance. As an excuse... Do we have to be content with just playing three group matches for the next World Cup and go home? Our career is limited. How many World Cups can we participate in? We play three group matches every time? Don’t want to play a few more games in the World Cup? I know some things are not good, but I still want to say today. Everyone has played abroad, and you should know what level we are in Europe. Don’t look at Hulai..."
Wang Guangwei hurriedly said seeing everyone turning their heads to Hu Lai.
"Exclude Hu Lai."
"Hey Lao Wang, why exclude me?" Hu Lai protested.
Wang Guangwei ignored his protest, but looked at other people and said: "So far, Huan Huan can still play in Sarria, but now I don’t know what the situation will change after playing the Asian Cup. Because the original position is occupied. Although Luo Kai played a lot of games and performed well, he played Dutch second..."
Luo Kai was expressionless and did not express any objection.
"Little Xingxing, you can only play occasionally, and you don’t have much playing time. Xiaoyu will not say in the reserve team. I am the worst. I can't even play in the official game... How good was last year’s performance? We scored six goals in the last World Cup, and Hu Lai scored five. In this Asian Cup, we scored ten goals and Hu Lai scored seven by himself. The World Cup three years later Do we still count on Hu Lai alone with the Asian Cup in four years' time?"
In Wang Guangwei's questioning, everyone's expressions became very serious.
Hu Lai opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end.
"When I was playing in China, I didn't have a clear understanding of my own level, and I felt that I was quite good. Later in the World Cup, I played against high-level opponents, a little desperate-to guard against a late-career Romano Husband, I have to do my best, and I have to rely on some off-board moves... Now that I go abroad to play football, I see my all-round gap..."
While talking, Wang Guangwei caught a glimpse of his two suitcases on the conveyor belt being brought over.
He took a step forward, took down the two boxes, put them on the luggage cart, turned and said to his teammates: "The media says we are young players every day, but in fact, we are not young anymore. Don't feel that we are going abroad. As long as everything is fine, we...may be returned!"
After speaking, he pushed up the luggage cart~EbookFREE.me~ and turned away.
The remaining five people looked at each other and fell into an embarrassing silence.
In the end, Zhang Qinghuan, the oldest, sighed: "Pharaoh's words also make sense...Everyone should work hard, there is really not much time left for us. Don't let Hu Lai throw us farther and farther."
"Brother Huan, what's the matter with me..." Hu Lai was very aggrieved. He stood here without saying a word or pretending to be forced.
Then he saw everyone looking at him.
Among them, Luo Kai's eyes seemed to have flames about to burst out.
He grinned, yes, for the future of Chinese football, I will sacrifice it...
So he held his head high and stood like a target.
