Chapter 2152 The darkest day in the history of English football
"England was very aggressive, making it difficult for the Chinese team to pass the football forward... Ou Yangjin made a long pass!"
In the picture, Chinese team midfielder Ou Yangjin faced the pressing pressure of England player Peter Williams and chose to kick the ball forward with his big foot.
It was clear that England's high pressing tactics worked.
Under their pressure, the Chinese team was almost unable to organize an offense and move forward, and was forced to pass the ball long.
Such a long ball is a helpless move, has poor accuracy and poses almost no threat to England.
The ball will soon return to the feet of the England players. If they continue to organize the offense, they can in turn threaten the Chinese team's goal.
England centre-back Bealistair Makama may have planned the same thing.
So when he saw the football flying towards him, he was ready to push it back and look for the left back Alan Morley in front of him.
However, he did not confirm Morley's position again before heading the ball.
As a result, after he pushed the football out, Morley was no longer in that position, replaced by Xue Ming, the right midfielder of the Chinese team who had just come on the field!
As for where Molly went…
Morley pulled to the sideline.
He may have thought Makama would stop the football and then pass it over.
Xue Ming used his chest to remove the flying football, and then saw Hu Lai suddenly running sideways towards Makama.
Xue Ming understood instantly.
Immediately pick up the football that has not completely landed and pass it behind Makama!
That is, at the same time as he passed the ball, Hu Lai, who was crossing, suddenly moved forward in a straight line!
"Beautiful counter-offside! Hu Lai!! Opportunity for the Chinese team!"
There is no suspense about the rest - just listen to the cheers from the scene.
After Hu Lai succeeded in countering offside, even though he had not yet received the ball, the cheers were like rumbling thunder, extending.
All Chinese fans know that Hu Lai will never let them down with such an opportunity!
And indeed it is.
The ball flew past England goalkeeper Shim Dickinson and into the goal!
Relying on advanced technology, the referee did not have to wait for the video referee team to confirm whether the ball was offside. He immediately blew the whistle and turned around, waving his hand towards the center circle.
The goal is valid!
After scoring, Hulay ran towards the corner flag area.
Because most of his teammates were still in the backcourt, they didn't have time to rush forward immediately.
So he completed the iconic celebration alone.
"HUUUUU!!!"
After finishing his celebration, Hu Lai turned around and opened his arms to his running teammates.
Although this was already the Chinese team's sixth goal of the game, these Chinese players were still very excited and did not lose the motivation to celebrate because they scored too many goals.
They swarmed in, surrounded Hu Lai, slapped his body, and roared excitedly.
What was a little different from the previous celebration was that this time, at the end of the celebration, all the Chinese team players interacted with the Chinese fans behind the England goal.
Hu Lai led his national team teammates, stretched out his arms, and bent down.
When they did this, the Chinese fans in the stands made the same move as them, and at the same time they let out low roars that they tried to suppress.
As if he was accumulating strength, after accumulating full strength, Hu Lai and his teammates jumped up together.
The fans in the stands cheered as well, releasing all their suppressed cheers.
The cheers in the entire stadium reached a higher decibel level.
Everyone jumped up and down again, as if a small earthquake had occurred at the Bailong Lake Stadium!

"...This game really exceeded everyone's expectations! I dare to say that even the most optimistic Chinese fans would never have guessed such a score before the game! 6:0! The difference of six goals is
The quarter-finals with the widest disparity in the history of the World Cup! Now it’s meaningless to simply talk about the outcome of this game. Let’s talk about the historical significance of this game! Hahaha!”
The wanton laughter of "Big Mouth" Shen Lang, the commentator of Tengfei Video, echoed in the video.
The white-haired Zhai Guangming looked at the phone screen with a smile.
In the scene where Chinese players and fans were interacting just now, a banner appeared.
It says: "Dongchuan Middle School, the cradle of champions!"
Looking at this banner, Zhai Guangming's smile became even brighter.
Then he pressed his finger on the video progress bar and pulled it back.
Shen Lang's excited voice soon resounded in the room:
"...It is the quarter-final with the widest total score disparity in the history of the World Cup! Now it is meaningless to simply talk about the outcome of this game. Let's talk about the historical significance of this game! Hahaha
!”
The wife who heard the noise next to her rolled her eyes at her husband: "Turn down your voice, it makes my head hurt!"
Zhai Guangming said: "Why are you noisy? Do you think it's noisy when you are so happy?"
However, I still turned down the volume obediently.
"You have been happy for too long. From yesterday to today, a whole night has passed, and you are still happy here? Tell yourself how many times you have watched it today? I close my eyes now, and my ears are filled with excitement.
It’s all that narrator’s voice!”
"I never get tired of watching it no matter how many times!" Zhai Guangming still had a hard mouth and a soft body. He did not continue to watch the video despite his wife's protests.
The daughter, who had witnessed the whole argument between her parents, laughed and said, "Dad, why don't you put on the headphones?"
Zhai Guangming shook his head: "Wearing it for a long time will hurt your ears."
"You'd better put it on, at least it won't hurt my ears!" my wife complained.
The daughter laughed out loud and then changed the subject: "Hey dad, that slogan you gave them... aren't you afraid of being scolded?"
"What are you scolding? What's there to scold?"
"We've just reached the semi-finals, and you're saying that Dongchuan Middle School is the 'cradle of champions'. Aren't you afraid of being scolded for your character?"
Zhai Guangming chuckled: "Look online, everyone is talking about the Chinese team winning the championship? Who am I? We have already reached the semi-finals. We are not going for the championship, are we still going for the third place?
?The goal is to win the championship anyway, so what else is there to hide?"

"...In the two World Cup quarter-finals that ended yesterday, the most eye-catching one was the first match between the host China team and the England team. Before the game, everyone thought it would be a close match, but the match
The process and results are surprising...
"The score of 6:0 created the quarter-finals with the largest margin of victory in the history of the World Cup. At the same time, 0:6 was also England's largest defeat and the largest margin of victory in the history of the World Cup. After the game, the BBC said that this day was the best day in English football.
The darkest day in history.
"Hulay, who scored four goals in the game, also made history. He was not only the first player to score four goals in the World Cup quarter-finals, but also the first player to score four goals in the knockout rounds of the World Cup.
If he hadn't conceded a penalty kick in the game, he would have raised this record to five goals...
"After the game, Hu Lai was voted the best of the match and was interviewed. In the interview, he talked about his original intention of giving the penalty kick to Wang Guangwei. As everyone guessed, he just hoped that Wang Guangwei could respond with a goal.
Four years of attacks on the English press.
"In addition, some reporters asked Hu Lai what he thought of Darren Hunter's pre-match 'settlement'. To this, Hu Lai responded like this..."
※※※
Hu Lai, who had just finished playing the game, was wearing a Chinese team jersey that he hadn't had time to change out of. It was soaked with sweat and stuck to his body, outlining the outline of his muscles.
Although Hu Lai is not a strong player, it can still be seen from his muscles that his core strength is good.
In the mixed zone, he was surrounded by reporters. As a player who made history, Hulay was the focus of everyone's pursuit.
Because the scene was very noisy, Hu Lai had to tilt his head and listen carefully to the reporters' questions.
A reporter next to him said a few words, but Hu Lai didn't hear it clearly, so he leaned his head over again and motioned for the other person to say it again.
The reporter also raised his voice and said: "Darren Hunter said before the game that he had an account to settle with the Chinese team. Hu Lai, what do you think of his words?"
The reporter's voice was loud and clearly included in the video.
At the same time, it caused a commotion among the people in the video.
This is a very sensitive topic.
It was so sensitive that the entire Chinese team was given a gag order before the game and reporters were not allowed to ask this question.
But Chinese reporters can still control them, but how can foreign reporters be controlled?
So the national team didn't let Chinese players attend the pre-match press conference at all.
At that time, everyone wanted to know what the Chinese players thought of Darren Hunter's remarks.
Regarding the actions of the national team, many people on the Internet were dissatisfied.
However, some people expressed their understanding. After all, this game is too special, and it is normal for the national team to hope that the players can concentrate on preparing for the game.
In the final analysis, it still depends on the result of the game.
If the Chinese team wins the ball, then all the operations before the game can be forgiven and understood, and even praised as "hindsight".
But if the Chinese team loses, I’m sorry:
"...The team's guilty conscience has been exposed since they did not dare to allow Chinese players to attend the press conference before the game, and the signs of defeat have already been revealed!"
"Be timid before fighting! There are already signs of losing!"
…
Criticisms like this will definitely hit the Chinese team overwhelmingly.
Of course, such a terrible result has not happened now.
The ending that appeared in this world line was that the Chinese team not only won, but also won a beautiful, record-breaking six-goal victory.
So under this background, the "gagging order" against Chinese players should be lifted, right?
If it is lifted, how will the Chinese team players respond to Darren Hunter?
This is what countless people want to know.
Facing the pairs of expectant eyes, Hu Lai smiled slightly after hearing the question clearly:
"Then he now has two accounts to settle with us."

PS, Kawen, I have lost my copy card and everything I wrote yesterday is invalid.
So now I’ve saved just one chapter.
I can only update for a few days starting from today. Let me make up for the saved manuscripts.
