Chen Xingyi passed the ball from the left, but in the end Yoichi Yamaura pushed the football from the right baseline, so the Chinese team switched the corner kick to the right.
Guo Junfu, as the team's number one position kicker, ran to take the corner kick.
This was one of the few times in this game that he had the chance to completely get rid of Junpei Morikawa.
While he was placing the football, other players from the Chinese team also came to the Japanese team's penalty area and gathered in front of the goal.
Including the two central defenders Wang Guangwei and Liu Yan, as well as the midfielder Gao Ruimin, they all have the advantage of heading the ball.
At this time, Luo Kai transformed into a center forward, standing in the middle in front of the goal.
Chen Xingyi moved to the right wing, preparing to take a tactical corner kick with Guo Junfu. He successfully attracted a defensive player from the Japanese team's penalty area.
But that's all. The other Japanese team players basically stayed in the penalty area. They knew very well that this was the main battlefield.
Hu Lai was also in the penalty area. Yoichi Yamaura turned his head to confirm and found that Hu Lai was not in his defense zone. He was further outside.
Obviously he also knew that with his small body, it would be useless to come in when there were people in front of the door.
This is a smart choice...
As soon as Yamaura Yang was sure that Hu Lai was not in the most dangerous place, he concentrated on the defense in front of him. The target of his defense was Luo Kai, who scored a very beautiful goal in the first half.
Completely different from Hu Lai, this Chinese team player is tall and muscular, but he is not a bloated figure, but well-proportioned and stylish. It can be seen from his figure that he has both body and speed.
type of player.
And this was also proved by his one-stop goal in this game.
In corner kick defense, such a person is indeed more threatening.
Thinking of this, Yamaura Yoichi leaned towards Luo Kai again. At the same time, a hand very covertly stretched out from his armpit and grabbed Luo Kai's jersey, preparing to give him a pinch when he took off.
, and then release it quickly. This will make him lose the first opportunity when he takes off, and you can take off in front of him and push the football out.
The movement range is small, the speed is fast, and the body is blocked, so even using VAR video referees may not be able to see it.
This is a small move that many defenders will use when defending.
When Guo Junfu saw that everyone was already in place, he raised his right hand. This was to remind his teammates that this time the corner kick would be kicked backwards.
Then he stepped back and kicked the ball!
However, his corner kick was not taken well. The football did not fly high enough. It fell just after it passed the front point.
Luo Kai rushed forward and tried to header the ball.
Yoichi Yamaura quickly pulled his jersey to stop him from starting. He quickly let go of his hand, took the opportunity to overtake Luo Kai, jumped up and pushed the football out with his head!
A successful header clearance!
The football was pushed towards the right rib of the penalty area by Yamaura Yoichi.
Chen Xingyi, who was originally cooperating with Guo Junfu in acting, ran towards the landing point of the football, and then flicked the ball from Shan Puyang to Wang Guangwei, who had retreated to the penalty spot.
Wang Guangwei, who was retreating, saw the football flying towards him, but at the same time, the Japanese team's midfielder Junpei Morikawa also came up, trying to interfere with him.
Wang Guangwei knew very well that under such circumstances, he would not have the chance to stop the football and adjust his shot.
If he chooses to pass the ball, he may lose the ball here.
So the thing before him is actually very simple - no matter whether it works or not, just give it a try!
He is a central defender who is not good at scoring goals. But from the moment Chen Xingyi passed the football to him, this is not an issue he should consider.
It is better to cover one foot than not to cover one foot at all.
So, facing the goal, he raised his arms and blocked Morikawa Junpei, then raised his right leg and shot the ball!
But he missed.
"Wang Guangwei shoots directly... Oops!"
The football did not go towards the goal, but flew towards the bottom line in the back corner of the goal...
Everyone thought that the Chinese team's attack was over. Only the Japanese team's goalkeeper Hiroki Ueshima saved it very seriously, even though Wang Guangwei's ball drew an exaggerated and weird arc in front of the goal and turned again.
If he goes towards the goal, he can also ensure that the football is blocked.
But just as he was flying in the air and flying backwards, his eyes suddenly widened!
He saw a Chinese player suddenly appearing on the flight path of the football!
That...number fourteen!
It's Hu Lai!
No one knows when Hu Lai appeared there, and no one knows how he got here, but he has already appeared there, just in the direction of the flight of the football!
Then facing the flying football, he raised his right leg and hit the football!
"Hu Lai!!!" He Feng's voice, which had been regretful just now, suddenly changed and became excited.
Hiroki Ueshima was in the air when he heard a muffled sound in front of his eyes. The football that should have flown directly out of the baseline was whipped towards the goal by Hu Lai!
At this time, Hiroki Ueshima could do nothing. He could only maintain a sideways posture, turned his head and watched the football... fly into the goal he was guarding!
"The ball went in!!! Hu Lai!! Beautiful!! He received the ball from Wang Guangwei, I don't know if it was a shot or a pass... and scored with an alley-oop! The Chinese team took the lead again! Hu Lai, who almost disappeared in the first half, emerged from the shadows
He flashed out, appeared in the most dangerous place, and then gave the Japanese team a backstab!"
Sugiyama Tatsuya was roaring: "Why is no one watching him!?"
When Shanpu Yang turned around and saw this scene, he was stunned and did not answer the captain's question because he had the same question in his mind.
Why was there no Japanese team player next to him? Why was he there? How did he run over? Did he teleport like Kakarot?!
※※※
Wang Guangwei originally didn't have much hope for his casual kick, but he saw Hu Lai guarding the goal and kicked the ball into the goal...
This made him feel magical.
You said that my kick was obviously a shot, but why did it turn into an assist in the end?
In his dazed effort, Hu Lai, who scored the goal, confirmed the referee's gesture, turned around and ran to the left corner flag area, leaving everyone behind and completing his signature celebration!
When he landed, it coincided with the cheers of the Chinese fans who responded, as if his landing made a huge noise in the People's Stadium.
But it's not bad, he was indeed the one who made this noise...The thunderous applause and cheers, and the shaking stands, were all because of his goal.
Wang Guangwei came to his senses and cheered with his teammates and ran towards Hu Lai.
Chen Xingyi hugged him and shouted: "Damn, return my assist!"
But after saying this, he burst into laughter himself: "Hu Lai saved you, Lao Wang, otherwise your shot that missed my grandma's house would have been talked about by the commentator for half an hour as a defender's footwork!"
Wang Guangwei rolled his eyes: "Who said I missed the kick? I did it on purpose!"
"You're so mean! You clearly didn't even look over there!"
"With the tacit understanding between Hu Lai and I, do you still need to see it? Let me tell you, Chen Xingyi, I believe that as long as I kick in that direction, Hu Lai will definitely be waiting there!"
After Wang Guangwei finished speaking, they had already run to Hu Lai's side, so he didn't give Chen Xingyi a chance to continue to dwell on this issue, and pounced directly on Hu Lai: "Good brother, we have a tacit understanding! I knew you would appear there!"
Hu Lai laughed: "Six six six!"
Looking at Wang Guangwei and Hu Lai hugging each other, Chen Xingyi frowned slightly, with a puzzled look on his face: Did Lao Wang really kick that way on purpose?
※※※
When the Chinese team players gathered together to celebrate taking the lead again, in front of the Japanese team's goal, the Japanese players were not dejected or in pain, but were filled with questions.
After Hiroki Ueshima got up from the ground, he asked: "Who noticed when he ran to the door?"
Yamaura Yang shook his head: "He was still on the outside before the corner kick."
Junpei Morikawa raised his hand: "After the corner kick, he seemed to rush to the goal to compete for the top, but I didn't see it later..."
Seeing this, Tatsuya Sugiyama put his hands on his hips and looked up to the sky with a sigh: "Forget it, there is no point in discussing this issue now. We have already lost the goal! Let's think about how to equalize the score!"
※※※
"How did Hu Lai appear there?" During the live broadcast on Japanese TV, the commentator also asked this question.
However, neither he nor the commentators have to rely on the fragments of your words to piece together the truth like the Japanese players on the court.
They can directly understand what happened before the Japanese team lost the goal through multi-angle replays of the goal.
Before this goal, Hu Lai basically had no sense of presence. Most of the time in the game, he was like before this corner kick. His teammates passed the ball to him and he went to grab the point. As a result, he was cleared first by the Japanese defensive players.
It's just that this time, Yamapu Yang didn't clear the ball in front, but directly pushed the ball out of the baseline and gave the Chinese team a corner kick.
At that time, he must have thought that this was a prudent approach and was beyond reproach.
It was indeed blameless. This was the only choice he could make at that time.
But no one expected that such an ordinary corner kick would give the Japanese team a heavy blow in the end.
So how did Hu Lai appear there and send the football into the goal?
Before the celebrations of the Chinese team players were over, the director could not wait to cut to the replay of the goal.
And it seems that the director also knows what everyone is wondering about now, so this replay was filmed from the other side, just so that you can see Hu Lai's position.
Before Guo Junfu kicked the corner kick, Hu Lai was actually far away from the place in front of the goal where every inch of ground was contested. His whole body was behind the outside line, almost close to the penalty area line, and he had no intention of competing for the top.
While everyone focused their attention on the densest crowd in front of the door, he tried every means to hide himself.
Then Guo Junfu kicked the football out. At the same time, Hu Lai started running towards the goal. His goal was the back point of the goal.
But halfway through, the football was pushed out by Yamaura Yoichi, so he suddenly braked again in the camera, and at the same time, he turned his head to observe the movement of the football.
When he saw Chen Xingyi heading towards the football, he immediately changed his running route, turned to the center of the penalty area, and ran towards the penalty spot.
Chen Xingyi seemed to have not seen him, or perhaps he had seen him but was not sure to send the football to his feet. In short, he chose Wang Guangwei, the best target to pass the ball to.
Seeing the football being passed to Wang Guangwei, Hu Lai did not continue running to the penalty spot, but quickly looked back behind him.
Then he backed up and moved in the direction he saw behind him.
And there is exactly behind the Japanese team's center back Yuichi Sakurai, which is a "psychological blind spot" that no one notices.
Hu Lai's series of turns and changes of direction in the penalty area were like dancing in a limited space...
Seeing this, no one can explain why Hu Lai wants to go there. Although there is an open space, how can he guarantee that the football will fly here next?
And what's even more terrible is...the football was really kicked here next!
Wang Guangwei clearly shot a shot with great energy, but the football did not fly to the goal, but flew to the empty space where Hu Lai was.
What happened next was a matter of course. When everyone's eyes and attention shifted along with the football, they discovered that there was a gap there, and there was a Hu Lai in the gap!
With his exquisite running, that direct volley seemed ordinary.
"Hu Lai's choice of position in front of the goal is really hard to understand after watching the replay of the goal several times..." the Japanese commentator said helplessly. "Why here and not other places? Why did he
Wherever it is, the football will go there? Did he predict in advance that Wang Guangwei would miss the shot, or was it just pure luck? If it was luck, then in his previous goals, he always appeared in the right position. Could it be
Is it all just luck?"
Facing his series of questions, the commentator next to him didn't know how to answer at all. After he was silent for a few seconds, the commentator also fell into deep thought. Seeing that the commentator was about to fall into a cold silence, he said: "Maybe
This is Hu Lai’s talent..."
The commentator turned to him and asked: "Does it mean running in front of the goal or just being lucky?"
The guest sighed: "Both."

PS, the prototype of this ball came from the reader "Wuxinzhi" who played it in FM2021 using Hu Lai's game character.
