Chapter 337 The first person in forty-four years

  "Qu Lu threw the foul ball to Zhou Zijing, and Zhou Zijing... missed it! Chen Xingyi! Good ball! Opportunity! Cross! Luo Kai hits the goal!!"

When they saw Chen Xingyi pass the football to Luo Kai, countless fans couldn't wait to cheer in front of domestic TV sets.

But then they saw the football blocked by Brazilian center back Amorim who was standing on the goal line.

 In an instant, many people were still wondering whether the goal had been scored? Did Amorim fish the football out of the goal?

 They also hope that goal-line technology can intervene.

But the pace of the game was too fast, the football had not gone out of bounds, and the game was not over yet, so their doubts could only flash through their minds. Before they had time to think about it, they saw Zhang Qinghuan kicking the football!

 “Zhang Qinghuan! Fight again!! Oops!!”

 This is the loud sigh of the two commentators in the commentary box.

 In front of the TV, the Chinese fans had the same reaction, exactly the same as the commentators.

They put their heads in their hands and shouted through gritted teeth.

 I don’t know how many occasions at this moment in China this kind of collective sigh appeared.

Anyway, everyone in the subway car where Zhong Shihao was sitting exclaimed in surprise.

 After exclaiming, everyone was still staring at their mobile phone screens nervously.

Thanks to the developed communication infrastructure and the popular 5G network, so many people are crowded in the subway car and watching the live game on the mobile network at the same time, and there is no lag at all.

So they saw a scene that they would never forget:

  Players from both the Brazilian and Chinese teams competed for the spot of the football.

 But none of them has the most accurate judgment of football placement than Hu Lai.

 When they made the move to grab the spot... Hu Lai was already in the air and flying towards the football!

 “Hulai!!”

Zhong Shihao couldn't help but shout out. Countless people around him were shouting the names of his high school classmates.

Even in many places he didn’t know, people he didn’t know were shouting like this.

They saw Hu Lai sprinting from the penalty area, and then leaping into the air...

 A standard can no longer reach the top with a standard dive!

 When they saw this scene, everyone's mouths were wide open. They thought they had made a cheering sound, but in fact not a single sound came out of their throats.

Everyone just stared at the leaping figure on the screen with their mouths open.

 Until he rammed the football into the goal.

 Their voices were heard:

 “Holy shit!!!!”

 “Awesome!!!”

 “Hu Lai is awesome!!!”

 “I’m so fucking awesome at Hu Lai!!!!”

 In the swaying subway car, Zhong Shihao, like the people around him, stopped watching the game and cheered with his arms raised high.

The passengers who were originally sitting on the chairs also jumped up from their seats and raised their arms and shouted.

The entire subway car was filled with cheers, as if there was a carnival party going on on this train traveling underground in the city.

 But not only in the underground of this city, but also in all places in China that were watching the live broadcast of this game, they were all caught up in the carnival at this moment.

 No one can remain calm at this time, unless he hates Chinese football!

 After Zhong Shihao yelled, he hugged the person next to him, even though he didn't know the other person at all.

 But they became comrades-in-arms under the extreme excitement.

They witnessed the highlight moment of Chinese football in the same trench, when they scored three goals against the world champion Brazil team in the World Cup!

  ※※※

 “...Ah ha ha ha ha ha!” He Feng’s loud laughter came from the TV speakers.

As a commentator, he laughed so hard that he even lost his composure. But he did not want to deliberately control his emotions. He just wanted to show his truest mood at this moment in front of the TV audience, and permanently

Stay in China's history.

A few years later, when people look back on the history of Chinese football’s World Cup campaign, his laughter will surely become a witness to this history.

Li Qingqing stood in front of the sofa, waving her fists vigorously and shouting: "Beautiful! Beautiful!!"

Li Ziqiang didn't care about his daughter's attitude. He stood up very excitedly, clenching his fists hard and trembling slightly.

Hu Lixin and Xie Lan were no better than their father and daughter. Xie Lan even cried excitedly: "Great!! Hat trick! Great!!"

As for what He Feng said at this historical moment, they, the audience, didn’t hear a word, or they didn’t care at all...

  ※※※

 “What? The Chinese team scored again?!”

When Russia head coach Alkom Mashaninov heard the news from his assistant coach, his eyes widened.

 The assistant coach nodded to him: "Yes, it was Hu Lai who scored the goal again..."

“Hat-trick...He completed a hat-trick against Brazil?!” Mashaninov muttered to himself, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.

“Alkom, should we strengthen our offense now and try to get first place in the group?” The assistant coach obviously didn’t care about what Hulay did, he was more concerned about what the Russian team could benefit from.

 If the Brazilian team and the Chinese team end up tied, then Russia will share five points with Brazil.

 Just because of the disadvantage in goal difference, Russia ranks second.

Now if Russia can score more goals and surpass Brazil on goal difference, it can jump to the top of the group and avoid the first place in Group A, France.

He looked at the 2:0 score on the live scoreboard, his eyes burning a little.

But Mashaninov shook his head: "It's too late. If this news had come twenty minutes earlier, we might really have a chance... But I just replaced Romanov, and the players' mentality was completely relaxed.

It’s very difficult to make them nervous again.”

 The assistant coach knew that Mashaninov was right, and he sighed helplessly.

Hearing this sigh, Mashaninov smiled and comforted his assistant: "Let's be open. At least we didn't let Hulay score. You must know that the game against us was the only game in which he did not score. Think about it this way.

, I’m not that pessimistic about our next game against France… Ha!”

The assistant coach was amused. He knew that the head coach was comforting himself: "Then when people look back on Hulay's performance in the World Cup, will they say: 'Russia is the only team where Hulay did not score a goal'?"

 “Ha, that’s what it means!” Mashaninov clapped his hands and laughed.

  ※※※

"Hu Lai! Hu Lai! Hu Lai! Hu Lai!!! Oh oh oh! Unbelievable! The Chinese team evened the score again!"

 The commentator shouted excitedly from the speakers.

 In front of the projection screen, the England players stared blankly in the same direction, unable to believe their eyes.

Only Pete Williams and Jay Adams made any move. They both looked at each other, and they both saw shock on each other's faces.

Hulai actually scored a hat-trick in his first World Cup!

 Even if they were Hu Lai’s teammates at the club and knew how good Hu Lai was, they never dared to think of such a thing...

 This is a hat trick in the World Cup!

 Throughout the ages, how many people have been able to score three goals in a single game in the World Cup?

In the history of the 23rd World Cup, there have been a total of fifty-three hat tricks, most of which were created in ancient times. With the development of modern football, more and more attention is paid to defense and overall balance.

After the style of play, hat tricks appear less and less frequently in the World Cup.

 In the fifty-six years since the first televised World Cup in 1970, there have been a total of fifteen World Cups, and twenty-seven hat tricks have been performed, completed by a total of twenty-six people.

Hu Lai became one of the twenty-sixth.

 Their club teammates, with such an almost perfect performance and manner, etched their names in history.

 They could only sit in the hotel garden at night and witness this moment through the projection screen.

  ※※※

Compared with the English players who were too frightened to make a sound, the Japanese players who were also paying attention to the game all exclaimed:

 “The country is here! The country is here!”

Morikawa Junpei's voice was particularly prominent here. He laughed loudly: "I said it! I said it! The Chinese team will not give up easily!"

 Everyone turned around to look at this crazy teammate, but no one could laugh at him.

 The facts were before them, and the Chinese team's tenacious performance left them in awe.

Even Junpei Morikawa, who has always believed in the Chinese team, seems to be worthy of respect...

  Sugiyama Tatsuya has a feeling of seeing a ghost.

 He thought Morikawa Junpei was just a middle school student.

 In the end, he really got it right!

Has the Chinese team become so strong now?

Think about it carefully, since the U23 Asian Cup final, he has never spoken to many players in these Chinese teams.

 Japanese football has not played against the Chinese team at the national team level for a long time.

 So is our impression of Chinese football still stuck a few years ago?

 While we are not paying attention, Chinese football as a whole has made rapid progress...

 Is this Asian rival of Japanese football...back again?!

 Looking at the Chinese players wearing red jerseys running wildly in celebration on the screen, an idea came to Tatsuya Sugiyama's mind.

  ※※※

 After scoring the goal, Hulay got up from the ground and ran to the corner flag area to celebrate.

 But he was stopped halfway by his extremely excited teammates.

It was Luo Kai who held him back this time!

 Luo Kai grabbed his arm tightly and didn't let him do his signature celebration. Instead, he pulled him to the ground!

 Then more Chinese team players rushed up to press.

In addition to them, the Chinese team's substitute players also swarmed in from the bench, pressed on, and stacked up!

 Not even just the players, but also the staff of the Chinese team.

In front of the coaching bench, Shi Wuyin, Li Zhifei and Hong Renjie were relatively reserved and did not rush to stack up.

 But they also hugged each other, laughing and shouting loudly.

 Not to mention the Chinese fans in the stands.

Pasadena Stadium, which can accommodate 100,000 people, is the turn of the other half of the red ocean to boil this time!

 Just like the waves in the sea of ​​blood, it is breathtaking and shocking!

There was a rumble in the sky above the stadium. When two people faced each other, they could only see their mouths moving. They could not hear what the other party was saying at all. There was only tinnitus, constant tinnitus!

 “Long live the Chinese team!!”

 “The Chinese team is awesome!!”

"Long live China!!!"

 “China is awesome!!!”

  ※※※

"The Chinese team fell behind three times in the game and equalized the score three times! I know this game is not over yet, and I also know that the Brazilian team certainly has a chance to score our goal... But I have to say now, this team

The national team is our heroes! They have become our heroes!"

 In such a crazy atmosphere, He Feng shouted at the top of his lungs.

"With just this one game, our goal of coming to the World Cup has been achieved! The Chinese team has lived up to our expectations! Well done! The Chinese team!" Yan Kang also said very emotional words with special force next to him.

 Their excitement has not subsided yet.

 In such an environment, it is indeed difficult to calm down.

But no one still cares about all this, everyone just wants to shout loudly, roar, and release their emotions that have been accumulated for a game.

What about world champion Brazil?

 What happened to taking the lead three times?

Since we can equalize once or twice, we can equalize three times!

 The Chinese fans in the stands shook their fists at the Brazilian fans in the stands and the Brazilian players on the court, and roared loudly with ferocious faces.

 After losing the ball, the Brazilian players were stunned amidst the noise. They stood in front of their own goal and in the penalty area without any reaction.

Lemos fell inside the door, staring blankly at the sky.

 He ​​suddenly remembered the Premier League game, when he wore a Stan Park Rangers jersey and played against Leeds City at home.

 As the main goalkeeper, he was scored four goals by Hu Lai alone in that game!

How similar they are to that time, that moment, and this moment!

 He ​​originally thought it was because Leeds City's overall strength was not weak. When the national team came, the strength of the Chinese team was completely incomparable with that of the Brazilian team. His revenge at the club could be avenged by the national team!

result……

result!

Although the Brazilian team has not lost yet, he has lost!

Lemos raised his arm and put it on his forehead, covering his eyes.

 Kabonka also raised his hand and gently touched his face.

The heat was really felt there before.

 To this day, Kabangka doesn’t know whether it is his illusion or his true feelings.

Turning to the corner flag area, the Chinese team players who were celebrating wildly just now got up from the ground. One by one, they pulled up their teammates who were trapped underneath. The last one to be pulled out was the hero of the goal, Hu Lai.

His clothes were messy, his hair was like a bird's nest, and his sweaty face was stained with grass clippings, making him look miserable.

But it was this embarrassed man who scored three goals against Brazil, completing a hat trick.

hat trick.

 This is something that Kabangka, who has participated in two World Cups, has not been able to do it.

"Oh my God..." the Brazilian commentator said feebly in the commentary box. "Julay completed a hat trick in the game. He is... He is the first player to complete a hat trick against Brazil after the 1982 World Cup.

The first person in forty-four years, God, my God... why are you so cruel..."
