In fact, Hu Lai was not comforting and encouraging his teammates.
Standing in the center circle, with a football under his feet, he turned around and shouted to Zhang Qinghuan and Xia Xiaoyu: "Easy, keep it simple!"
He was reminding the two offensive organizers that if there is an opportunity, try to pass the football forward without thinking about whether it can be accurately passed to his feet.
Anyway, the Olympic team has a powerful center like Zhou Zijing on the front line who can serve as an offensive bridgehead. There is no need for the Olympic team to make the offensive organization too complicated.
They only need to pass the football to Zhou Zijing, let Zhou Zijing get the ball in the frontcourt, and then support him collectively.
This is a bit simple and crude, and the success rate may not be high.
But it is indeed the best choice under the current circumstances.
Therefore, neither Zhang Qinghuan nor Xia Xiaoyu expressed any objection to Hu Lai's proposal.
When Argentina just scored a goal, it was impossible for the Chinese team to slowly organize in the midfield and look for offensive opportunities.
The opponent will definitely press hard and suppress them.
At this time, the Chinese team should make a long pass directly to Zhou Zijing from the center and backcourt, and use Zhou Zijing to make the transition and create opportunities for Hu Lai. This is what the Chinese team should do next.
As the referee blew the whistle, Hu Lai passed the football back to Zhang Qinghuan, and Zhou Zijing crossed the center line at the same time and rushed into Argentina's half.
The game continues!
As soon as Zhang Qinghuan caught the ball, Meili rushed up aggressively and pounced on the ball at his feet.
Faced with Meili's tackle, Zhang Qinghuan did not try to get past his opponent, but quickly turned around to protect the football, and then passed the football back to Xia Xiaoyu.
After passing the ball, he opened his arms to block Melli.
However, Argentina was not the only one who rushed forward. Their high center forward Novareti passed by Zhang Qinghuan and chased after him.
The Argentine players, who had just scored a goal, were in high spirits and wished they could score another goal within a minute.
When Xia Xiaoyu saw Noiretti rushing towards him, he did not catch the ball. Instead, he half-turned around, pretending to let the football pass and continue to pass it back.
So Noiretti accelerated and bypassed Xia Xiaoyu in an attempt to continue pressing.
Unexpectedly, Xia Xiaoyu's move was completely fake. His left foot buckled the football that was about to roll over, and at the same time, his body that was about to turn back was twisted back again!
Just passed by Noiretti!
Noiretti wanted to brake suddenly and turn around, but his height of 1.91 meters and weight of 85 kilograms became a heavy burden at this time. The inertia brought by the huge mass made it impossible for him to stop...
He could only watch helplessly as Xia Xiaoyu got rid of him, turned around and dribbled the ball forward.
"Xia Xiaoyu! Beautiful!"
※※※
“Xiaoyu is awesome!!”
"Well done Xiaoyu!"
"That's it! Get over him!"
In the crowded living room, Yan Yan, Chu Yifan, Meng Xi, Mao Xiao and other former members of the Dongchuan Middle School football team were all cheering loudly for their juniors.
After just conceding a goal, Chinese fans really needed something to cheer them up.
And Xia Xiaoyu's effortless escape was like giving them a shot of chicken blood.
Everyone clenched their fists, widened their eyes, and roared at the TV screen.
It looked like they were going to eat the TV alive...
Tang Xiuyuan has watched many games with them, but this is the first time she has seen them so excited.
She leaned close to Chu Yifan's ear and asked in a low voice: "Why are they more excited than before when watching Hu Lai's game?"
Chu Yifan smiled: "Because what we are watching now is the Chinese team's game."
Tang Xiuyuan was a little confused, but she had no time to continue asking her boyfriend for advice, because everyone cheered again, and Chu Yifan's attention was also attracted by the live broadcast.
It turned out that it was Xia Xiaoyu who passed the football.
The person he was looking for was Zhou Zijing who had already rushed to the front!
Zhou Zijing, who was rushing forward, stopped, turned his back to the goal, and blocked Argentina center back Enzo Monteya behind him.
There are three overage players in the Argentine Olympic team, two of whom are forwards, namely Meli Banega and Ramon Cantero.
The remaining overage player's spot is given to the central defender, Enzo Monteya.
This main center back who plays for one of the Premier League BIG6, Warship Port, is no stranger to Zhou Zijing.
Because the two of them had a record of playing against each other in the Premier League last season.
He knew that Zhou Zijing's confrontation ability was relatively strong, so he used all his strength from the beginning to hold Zhou Zijing firmly from behind, and at the same time, he used small movements with his hands to tug on his jersey.
Zhou Zijing turned a blind eye to Monteya's small movements behind him. He just opened his arms to prevent Monteya from getting around him and grabbing the ball.
Then he raised his foot and kicked the football flying in the air directly to the right side of his body!
There is Hu Lai there!
Monteya, who was originally behind Zhou Zijing, no longer cared about wrestling with him at this time, and moved sideways to block Hu Lai.
To say that the person he is most familiar with in the Chinese team is of course Hu Lai.
In the Premier League in the 2025-2026 season, Hu Laike scored a very beautiful reverse C-style header under his defense.
So he knows very well how scary Hu Lai is in front of the door!
In fact, another central defender of the Argentine Olympic team, Geronimo Rojas, is already by Hulay's side.
He was responsible for defending Hu Lai, but Montea was still not at ease and planned to go up and help.
When Zhou Zijing passed the ball, Hulay was diagonally inserting into the space behind the Argentine Olympic team - at this time, the Argentine back line had almost retreated to the penalty area line, and the space behind them was actually not big.
During the diagonal pass, Zhou Zijing's ball was passed over.
Hu Lai did not slow down, but directly raised his left foot, used the outer instep of his left foot to move the football forward, and just wiped it past Geronimo Rojas!
Roxas reflexively stretched out his foot to block it, but it was half a beat too late.
Fortunately, Montea predicted it in advance and appeared on Hu Lai's path in time!
Hu Lai also saw Monteya. He chased after him and stretched out his left foot, trying hard to hook the football back. But his body still couldn't stop, and he directly collided with Monteya.
Monteya, who was stretching his foot to steal the ball, not only kicked the ball in the air, but was also knocked off balance by Hulay and fell backward.
At the same time, he saw Hu Lai following him and falling to the ground with him. He was slightly relieved - as long as Hu Lai also lost possession of the ball, this defense was considered a success...
But Hu Lai didn’t fall!
In other words, when he was about to fall, he used his hands and feet to support his body!
Then get back on the football faster than anyone else!
Rojas saw Hulay and Montea collide with each other, while the football stayed in place. He realized this was his opportunity, so he rushed forward to make a rescue...
He was half a beat late again.
Hu Lai pounced back, raised his right leg, and kicked the football with a "sweeping leg" posture!
In the penalty area, the football was swept towards the near corner of the goal!
Mariano Penalva, the goalkeeper of the Argentina Olympic team, did not expect Hulay to react so quickly. He had obviously fallen to the ground with Montea, but he bounced back quickly as if his body was equipped with springs.
Then finish the shot before Rojas...
Although he made the save, he only made it after the football rolled into the goal!
"this……"
He Feng and Yan Kang in the commentary box were both stunned.
About half a second later, they cheered in unison: "The ball has gone in! The ball has gone in! Hu Lai! Hu Lai!! Wow! Wow! Oh my God! The Olympic team actually lost the ball just one minute after
Just equalized the score! Who would have thought? Who would have thought of this?! Who would have thought that Argentina's lead would only last for one celebration!"
"It's really Hu Lai! Hahaha! It's really Hu Lai! It's amazing! After conceding the ball, the Olympic team took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to directly equalize the score! It was Hu Lai who scored the goal! Such terrifying efficiency
!Although after the start of the game, Argentina had the advantage on the scene and attacked more of our goals. Relatively speaking, Hu Lai had no good opportunities. But this time, he seized the opportunity! This is Hu Lai!
To defend him, it's best not to give him even a chance!"
※※※
“Holy shit!!”
“Day, day, day, day!!”
"What is this! What is this!!"
In front of the TV, Meng Xi, Mao Xiao and Chu Yifan were all stunned.
Only Yan Yan was laughing: "What did I say? Hahahahaha! What is supposed to come will always come! Hu Lai, the Chosen Son! The God of Efficiency! Make all the impossible possible! Turn decay into magic.
!”
Then he raised his arms and shouted to his companions who were still in a daze: "Stop being stunned, Hu Lai is going to celebrate!"
Hearing his words, everyone woke up as if from a dream. They all stood up from their seats and stared at the running figure on the TV screen. Their bodies were slightly tense and they did not dare to take a breath, for fear that they would miss that moment.
※※※
After Hu Lai finished shooting, his left knee lost all its strength to support his body, causing him to sit down on the turf.
After turning his head to confirm the goal, he got up from the ground, then opened his arms and ran towards the corner flag area.
In front of everyone's attention, he jumped up high, turned 180 degrees in the air, crossed his arms on his chest, and then swung them down with force as he turned.
When his feet stepped on the turf, a thunder sounded from the stands of Sequoia Sports Park:
"HUUUUU!!!"
Although there are two fewer sounds than Merry's "Three Farmer Punches", the volume of this one is enough to overwhelm those three!
