Main volume Chapter 231: Relieved "Chen Xingyi! Beautiful instep! Luo Kai Luo Kai!! Oh, beautiful!!!"
As He Feng shouted, countless Chinese fans cheered in front of the TV.
“This is the first goal of the Chinese team’s European training, scored by Luo Kai, who is studying abroad in Europe!”
Luo Kai was very excited after scoring the goal. He ran towards the corner flag area. Finally, he knelt on his knees and looked up to the sky and screamed.
More teammates from the national team came over, surrounded him, and celebrated the goal together.
This goal is naturally of great significance to Luo Kai, and the same is true for the Chinese team.
The disastrous defeat to the French team in the first game was a heavy blow to the morale and confidence of the Chinese team players. There were also some voices criticizing and questioning them in the public opinion, and pressure followed.
In this case, the whole team urgently needs a goal to boost morale and release pressure.
Luo Kai’s goal came at just the right time!
And they evened the score with this goal...
Luo Kai is more excited than everyone thinks, because he is also under greater pressure than everyone else.
Since the news that Tramed was interested in him, he has been put under the magnifying glass of Chinese fans.
When he held up Tramed's scarf to reporters at the red-roofed stadium, he was very impressive, and people were looking forward to his future in Europe. He seemed to have an extremely bright future.
However, his three months in Veronica caused him to suffer a lot of criticism. Rumors even began to appear on the domestic Internet that he could no longer hold on in Veronica and planned to take advantage of the World Cup before it started.
, let Tramed rent him back to the domestic Hedong Thunder to ensure that he can play stably in the game and maintain his condition before the World Cup...
Some people compared him to Hu Lai, accusing him of being dazzled by the rich family and not making the same wise choice as Hu Lai. In the end, he suffered the consequences. It was simply his own fault!
As the successor after Hu Lai, he shoulders the important task of continuing the trend of Chinese players going overseas. His performance is also regarded by many as an important guarantee for whether more Chinese players will be able to play in Europe in the future...
Under such circumstances, people will not allow him to fail.
In fact, it can be said that the public opinion environment after Luo Kai went abroad was worse than that of Hu Lai, because Hu Lai already had "beautiful people ahead of him", so everyone would inevitably have higher expectations for Luo Kai.
Before Hu Lai went abroad, it had been a long time since any Chinese men's football players had been able to play abroad. In addition, he chose a Premier League relegation team, so everyone did not have much hope for his performance in a short period of time.
, I just think Hulay can play the game in Leeds City. As for how he will perform after playing in the game, everyone has no unified consensus. When Hulay can score in the Premier League and how many goals he scores, everyone has their own opinions.
Each story.
Everyone knows the subsequent story. Hulay made his debut in the Premier League a month later and scored five goals in three consecutive games. By the end of the season, he became Leeds City's top scorer with 11 goals.
Looking back at everyone's speculations about Hu Lai, I suddenly felt ridiculous that the fans were still too conservative!
In this context, Chinese fans naturally have high hopes for Luo Kai’s study abroad.
But he disappointed fans across the country.
Had he not received a call from Director Shi, or had he not met Li Qingqing in Paris this time, he might have been crushed by the tremendous pressure...
But no matter what happened before, Luo Kai is now full of hope for the future.
The energy he drew from Director Shi's phone call, Li Qingqing's encouragement, and this ball was enough to support him in trudging in the darkness for a long time.
He firmly believed that he would be able to reach the other side of the light this time!
Just when Luo Kai was feeling moved in his heart, an inappropriate voice suddenly sounded next to him: "Hey, Luo Kai, you scored the goal thanks to my help!"
Luo Kai turned to glare at Hu Lai, not understanding why he said that.
This attack was instigated by Zhang Qinghuan. Chen Xingyi passed the ball and he caught the ball and shot.
What's wrong with you, Hu Lai, during the whole process?
“Haha, did you hear me yell when you caught the ball?” Seeing Luo Kai’s expression, Hu Lai knew what he was thinking and asked with a sneer.
Luo Kai frowned and thought for a while, but he really heard it, so he nodded.
“Then do you know what I’m shouting?”
Luo Kai shook his head: "Who knows what kind of bird language you are talking about, I can't understand it at all..."
Hu Lai put his hands on his hands and smiled and said: "Yes! I was speaking in the language of birds... in Ukrainian. I asked you to pass the ball to me. As a result, I successfully deceived the opponent's central defender and gave you an excellent shooting opportunity.
.If it weren’t for my voice and the opponent pressed forward immediately, how would you have the shooting angle? Do you think your military achievements must be half as good as mine?”
Luo Kai was stunned. He didn’t expect that there were so many stories behind his goal...
So he asked tentatively: "Did you lie to me?"
Hu Lai snorted coldly: "Do I need to lie to you? I helped you out of team spirit, believe it or not!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran back to his own half.
Luo Kai looked at his back, frowning slightly, and fell into deep thought.
※※※
When the Chinese team players celebrated Luo Kai’s goal wildly, Ukraine’s captain Vitaly Kotien was asking the central defender Sergey: “Roman, why did you hesitate just now and didn’t rush to block it immediately?
His shot?”
Sergey had a constipated expression on his face, and he wanted to argue, but he didn't know what to say.
Captain Ketian was keenly aware of his strangeness, so he frowned and asked, "What are you doing? Is there anything you can't say?"
"This...Vitaly, I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you..."
“Just say it.” Ketian, who lost the ball, was in a bad mood and his tone was also bad.
Sergey had no choice but to continue to look constipated and told Captain Kotien everything he had just encountered in the defense.
After listening, Curtin also had a constipated expression on his face: "Are you saying that because Hu shouted 'pass the ball to me' in Ukrainian, you were deceived into not being able to block the shot immediately?
"
Sergey nodded: "Andre also heard it at that time, you can still ask him..."
He pointed at his center back partner Andrei Arzhanov and said, Arzhanov nodded to Curtin: "Yes, Vitali, I heard it too. Very standard Ukrainian
, standard like what I heard on the news..."
Curtin turned his attention to Hu Lai, who had already run far away. Everyone knew that Hu Lai was now the most threatening player of the Chinese team, so they made very targeted defensive arrangements before the game. Hu Lai was in their defense.
It's really hard to get a chance.
But neither Curtien nor the Ukrainian head coach Viktor Yarmolenko on the sidelines would have thought that those carefully arranged targeted tactics would be ruined by Hulay's language talent.
It is true that he did not score a goal, but he indirectly helped the Chinese team score a goal at the most critical moment...
The goal also wiped out Ukraine's lead.
Before this game, Curtien asked his club teammate Payet on the phone, asking him how he felt playing against the Chinese team and what the strength of this opponent was.
Payet told him in an understatement that the Chinese team was not very good. Their offense did not pose any threat to the French team's goal, and their defense could not stop them at all.
At the end, he half-jokingly said to Curtien: "Vitaly, the Chinese team's defense is like a thin piece of paper. I scored two goals. You must score one no matter what, right?"
Ketien knew that this was Payet's joke. The Frenchman is a funny person and often makes these jokes. So he did not take Payet's words seriously and insisted on comparing the number of goals scored with the opponent.
But he does still feel that since the French team defeated the Chinese team, Ukraine should also win.
Even though the Chinese team entered the World Cup, Ukraine did not. But is the difficulty of the Asian qualifiers comparable to that of the European qualifiers?
If it were our Ukraine who went to Asia, we would definitely not miss every World Cup finals!
※※※
The game restarted, and the Ukrainian team, which had equalized the score, took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the Chinese team's penalty area.
Ukrainian fans in the stands are also cheering for their national team.
The Ukrainian players took advantage of their physical strength and height to play a rough, simple and direct game.
However, this kind of simple and direct method with low technical content can often achieve good results.
The midfielder basically does not pass back and forth to disrupt the organization, but passes quickly and directly sends the football to the frontcourt. Then the specific offense is handed over to Curtien. He can choose to shoot to end the offense himself, and he will also pass the ball to the frontcourt.
A teammate in a better position, acting as an offensive organizer.
This is how they scored their first goal. After Curtin attracted the Chinese team's defensive players, he suddenly distributed the football and allowed his teammates to score.
Now that the Chinese team has strengthened their defense against other Ukrainian players besides Kirtin, Kirtin decided to do it himself.
As the main forward of Paris Eger, Curtien's personal ability is very outstanding, and he can become a golden partner with Payet. It can even be said that he was wasted in Ukraine...
The overall strength of Ukraine is not worthy of Kotien.
In the past, for the sake of teamwork, Curtin had always stopped playing, positioning his role on the court as a wedding dress for others.
Now he decided to let go, because if we can't beat the Chinese team at home, it would be irresponsible to the team!
