Chapter 14: Furious Release (First update, please vote for me)
Shi Wuyin and Li Zhifei stood in front of the coaching bench, side by side, looking towards the court.
The second half of the game has already begun.
"You're right, Xiao Shi. We can only defend passively," Li Zhifei said.
On the court, Qatar was launching a fierce attack on the Chinese team's goal, while the Chinese Olympic team could only defend passively, huddled in the penalty area, and squatted down with their heads in their hands.
"It's so damn frustrating! This is obviously our home court..." he added.
Shi Wuyin sighed. How could he not feel aggrieved?
Really, besides this, he had no other option.
"Don't worry about face, Lao Li. We still don't know if we can withstand the opponent's fierce attack..."
"This is even more frustrating. You know the strength of this team. I think it can definitely go to the Olympics. Not only will it bring glory to the country, but also after they have witnessed a higher level of competition in the Olympics, every one of them will
People's personal growth is also beneficial. Many people in this team will become the future hope of our national team... As a result, the hope of Chinese football will be ruined because of other people's dirty tricks... This is not
Once or twice!" Li Zhifei became more and more excited as he talked, as if he had a lot to say. "Obviously it is a big country, but it doesn't even have a say in the AFC, and it gets hacked every time! It's time to protest after being hacked.
...If you protest again and get hacked next time, then protesting is of no use!"
An old man in his sixties is still so hot.
Shi Wuyin continued to sigh: "Old Li, it's true that China is a big country, but when it comes to football, we are a small and weak country through and through. Otherwise, what reforms would we have made in the first place?"
Li Zhifei snorted: "What a weak country? Qatar was also a small and weak football country. How did they make a fortune? Isn't it just by being shameless? What about our Football Association? I want to be a bitch but can't lose face, and I still want to establish a
Chastity Archway, if you encounter someone who is truly shameless, just stop being aggressive!"
Shi Wuyin quickly lowered his voice and said: "Lao Li, please stop talking, it won't be good if Leader Ran hears it..."
"After leading this Olympic team, I will quit. I'm afraid of a bird..." Li Zhifei gritted his teeth. "But you are still young, so I won't implicate you."
After finishing speaking, Li Zhifei stopped talking, but still looked at the beaten Chinese Olympic team with an angry expression.
Shi Wuyin smiled bitterly, then put away his smile, and watched the game with Lao Li.

"After the start of the second half, the morale of the Qatari players was high and they continued to attack our penalty area...The Chinese team's players seemed to be affected by the first half and seemed a bit restrained in their defensive actions..."
"With one less player, the Chinese team can only choose this shrinking tactic. After all, the score is 1:1, and we actually only need a draw to advance. But after advancing, there will be a high chance of encountering
Japan... Of course, now is not the time to consider selecting opponents for promotion."
Both He Feng and Yan Kang sounded helpless.
During the intermission, when the director reminded them that they were in commercial, the two of them turned off the microphone at the same time, and then started yelling in the studio, venting the anger they had been holding back in their hearts for the first half.
But after I finished scolding, I found that my anger had not been vented, but more and more...
Because they can almost guess the final result of this game.
This Olympic team, which has high hopes and has many talented young players, did not lose because of inferior skills, but lost due to inferiority. This really makes two people who love Chinese football feel sad and desperate.
.
This Olympic team lost the opportunity to participate in the Olympics, lost the platform to showcase their abilities, and lost the opportunity to accumulate experience in competitions... Their careers may also change as a result.
The future of Chinese football will also turn a corner here and turn downward.
This is what makes them the most angry.
Because today's matter is not just as simple as the Olympic team losing a game, but Chinese football losing a future!
The journey of Chinese football has not been easy. It is already weak. It finally had a chance to move up, but it was beaten down by the opponent's rubbish tactics.
Those who say "Who is the best in Chinese football?" Have you ever thought about who can guarantee to be extremely powerful from birth, and who has not grown from weak to strong? Hasn't Japanese football, which is now so powerful, also faced a turning point in history?
, if they hadn't successfully entered the World Cup finals and strengthened the Japanese Football Association's determination to carry out professional football reform, how could Japanese football be what it is today?
Nine years ago, when we also started to carry out reforms, we lost to Qatar in the Olympic qualifiers. At that time, everyone said that the effects of football reforms did not show up so quickly, so losing was normal.
what about now?
It has been almost ten years, and the results of the original reform are beginning to show, with a group of outstanding young players emerging. If they cannot break out of Asia, how can they give our football the confidence to continue reforming?
Now Chinese football has reached a critical moment, but who would have thought that this would become the darkest moment for Chinese football?

"Really, you don't need to look." Hu Lixin turned to his wife beside him and said.
Xie Lan clenched his hands into fists until his knuckles turned white, then released them and gritted his teeth: "No, I want to see! I want to see how that turtle died!"
The couple, who still live in the old house and have not yet moved, were originally going to watch a game where the Chinese team advanced to the knockout rounds today, but they did not expect to see such a game... Hu Lixin was very worried about his wife's anger.
The TV was smashed.
Although it is true that this TV cannot keep up with the times, it does not mean that they cannot afford a new TV now.
But is Hu Lixin worried about the TV? He is worried that his wife will be in bad health due to anger.
"The referee can't die. If he dies, it will happen after the game. But by then, whether he dies or not, he can't change the result of the game..."
"Then I want to watch it too!" Xie Lan stared at the TV screen, "I want to use my eyes to nail that turtle to the pillar of shame!"
Seeing that his wife was so stubborn, Hu Lixin had no choice but to persuade him, otherwise his wife would probably be full of anger towards him.
Hu Lixin felt that he was wronged by having to take the blame for that Iranian black whistle, so he would not do it.

He Feng said that the Chinese team was a little reserved after the start of the second half, which seemed to be because of the first half. But in fact, it was because there were some things he was not comfortable saying.
Just one minute into the second half, Iran referee Alireza Farhani highlighted his presence with a yellow card.
At that time, Zeng Chi blocked a foul when defending a breakthrough by a Qatari player.
As a result, Farhani was shown a yellow card.
This is also the fifth yellow card received by the Chinese team in this game, but no one from Qatar has received a yellow card.
This time, no Chinese players came up to surround the referee and ask for an explanation.
Even though Zeng Chi was shown a yellow card, he just shook his head and walked back.
But in fact, his shaking of the head is a bit dangerous - what if Fahani, who has a fragile heart, thinks that Zeng Chi's shaking of the head is also a challenge to his authority?
Therefore, the Chinese player who was called for a foul had better walk back expressionlessly and not look directly at Farhani.
Shi Wuyin felt a little heartbroken when he saw this scene off the court. He knew that the players were using great willpower to restrain their impulse and anger, just because he told them not to argue with the referee during the halftime break.
After the referee emphasized that he was the master of the game, how could the Chinese players not shrink back when defending?
Although they reached a consensus during the halftime break that they should work hard to score goals and defeat their opponents with more goals. But if they lose the ball before scoring, it will not be good for everyone's morale.
A heavy fatal blow?
When Hu Lai received the task given by the system, he thought it was easy to complete, so what he was thinking about was not the reward for completing the task, but what reward the system would give if he won the U23 Asian Cup championship.
But now, he knows why the system issued a task for this U23 Asian Cup. As expected, the task reward is not that easy to get...
He opened his system vision. Now on the court, the light chain extending from his body has connected him with Chen Xingyi, Luo Kai, Bai Di, Sun Gang and Gao Ruimin. At the same time, the five of them are also connected.
They are all connected by light.
The nine light chains extend and jump as their positions change with each other on the court, and the links will not be broken no matter how far apart they are. The visual effect is very spectacular.
This is proof of the tacit understanding between the six of them, and it is also a powerful weapon for Hu Lai to make a comeback in this game.

Although everyone played cautiously, the Chinese team's defense still withstood Qatar's offensive in the first five minutes of the second half.
And also tried to fight back.
In the 52nd minute, Gao Ruimin intercepted Qatar's ball in the midfield and quickly passed it to Chen Xingyi in front.
When Chen Xingyi was closely guarded by Qatar's No. 18 defensive midfielder Madibo, he turned around and left the opponent behind. Just when he was about to throw the football out and speed up the counterattack, he was caught by Qatar who followed him.
No. 8 was tackled to the ground from behind.
Fahani decisively called the No. 8 player Duzande for a foul, but just like before, there was no yellow card.
Even if Duzande tackled the ball from behind, he still didn't even get a yellow card.
I don’t know if it’s because Duzande and Farhani are both from Iran—the Qatari captain has both Qatari and Iranian citizenship.
The Chinese fans are still booing. To be honest, they can be considered very tenacious.
It's just that in this game, their boos couldn't help the Chinese team change the situation on the field. It can be said that... it had no effect.
After all, neither the Iranian referee Farhani nor the Qatari players would be ashamed to die because of the overwhelming boos.
The Chinese team used this free kick to advance the attack to the front of Qatar's penalty area.
Luo Kai got the ball in the ribs, and full-back Bai Di got behind him and went straight to the baseline.
His determined intervention attracted the attention of the Qatar defenders, and their No. 13 left back Burak immediately moved back to prevent Luo Kai from passing the football to Baidi.
But Luo Kai didn't do that. He suddenly started to lead the football into Qatar's penalty area.
Qatar center back Salman stepped forward to defend, but Luo Kai was deceived by a feint of his upper body - he thought Luo Kai was going to break through directly toward the goal, and Luo Kai indeed lowered his center of gravity in that direction.
Unexpectedly, Luo Kai used the outside instep of his left foot to move the football sideways, and he cut it in diagonally!
The Chinese fans who had been booing in the stands burst into cheers for the first time in the second half.
Amid their cheers, Luo Kai moved laterally in the penalty area.
Another Qatari centre-back, Bassam Al-Rawi, rushed up and tried to destroy the ball at Rokai's feet.
He took a risk and made a tackle, and successfully touched the football!
But he was not able to shovel the football too far, but only shoveled it from Luo Kai's feet to the front of his direction.
over there……
"Hu Lai!!!" He Feng shouted loudly, like a thunderbolt exploding in the studio!
Everyone saw that the football shoveled away by Al Rawi actually rolled to where Hulay was, and he was unmarked there - because of Luo Kai's breakthrough, the defensive forces in Qatar's penalty area paid attention.
On Luo Kai!
I saw Hu Lai take a lunge, stretch out his left foot to shovel the football... and shoot!
Although Qatar goalkeeper Bakari fought hard to come back, it was already too late...
The football was shoveled into the goal by Hu Lai!
The second half only started nine minutes, and in the 54th minute of the game, the Chinese team took the lead again!
"Hu Lai! Hu Lai!! Good goal!! There is no problem with this ball! There is no problem with this ball!" After the football entered the goal, He Feng quickly glanced at the Iranian referee at the edge of the screen and saw that he still pointed his finger at the center circle.
Then he cheered with confidence.
"The Chinese team leads Qatar 2:1, and the initiative to advance is back in our hands! Come on, boys of the Olympic team!"
Hu Lai, who scored the goal, stood up and turned to the referee to confirm, then opened his arms and ran towards the corner flag area.
Then he made his signature celebration move.
When he landed with his arms waving, a thunder erupted in the sky above Dashun Ocean Stadium.
That was when the fury that the Chinese fans had been holding back for half the game was unleashed with all their might!
