MTL - Fox in the Penalty Area-Chapter 241 Today I have tassels in hand

"When you're guessing the side of a coin later on, you want a kick-off."

Hearing Hu Lai's words, Wang Guangwei was taken aback for a moment, and then understood what Hu Lai was going to do—he must want to grab the start.

But the head coach didn't make arrangements in this regard...

But this is not something incomprehensible. Hu Lai may have seen the team's arrogance being beaten down by Ramirez, and wanted to use the kick-off opportunity to launch an attack, threaten Spain's goal, and boost morale.

Come knock the mountain and shake the tiger.

So he nodded: "Okay."

Then he added: "But I can't guarantee that I will be selected. If the right to kick-off is picked by the opponent first, it will be fine."

Hu Lai nodded: "It doesn't matter, I don't force it. If you can guess the coin, if you can pick first, you will choose the kickoff."

"OK, no problem."

※※※

When the TV viewers saw through the live broadcast that Hu Lai first went to say hello to the Spanish players, and then Ramirez came to shake hands with the Chinese players one by one, no one could have imagined that the contest between the two teams was actually before the whistle kicked off. It has already started.

He Feng, who was commentating the game on the spot, saw the screen on the monitor, and said this:

"Hu Lai took the initiative to say hello to the Spanish players. He hugged Joaquin Bella... Ha! In this Spanish national team, there are indeed many old acquaintances of his, whether they are teammates or opponents... They are very familiar with each other. The first two greetings are also normal..."

"Ramirez came out. After chatting with his teammates from the national team, he walked towards the Chinese team... Ah, he hugged Hu Lai. The two are teammates in the club team. There must be a relationship between them. I have a lot to say. Ramirez’s injury is a big deal in this game, which is also a great benefit for the Chinese team...”

"Before the start of the game, the players of the Chinese team can still smile so happily, which shows that their mentality is very good. This makes our Chinese fans very happy. What is the difference between a big game like the World Cup and an ordinary football game What's the difference? The rules are the same, and the number of players is the same. The only difference, and the biggest difference, is the mentality of the players. You must feel different when you play an ordinary game and play the World Cup. Playing the World Cup is also the same as the first game. The World Cup feels completely different... so to see the players joking before the game, it shows that everyone is in a good mood, so at least half the battle is done!"

However, there are still different opinions on this matter on the Internet.

Some people criticized: "The game is about to start, and you have to smile like a hippie. It doesn't attract attention at all!"

"That's right! It's good to relax, but it's obviously not okay to relax too much! When the time comes, the Spanish team will be caught off guard, and it's impossible to get nervous again!"

Fortunately, with the arrival of Ramirez, after a circle of greetings, the smiles on the faces of the Chinese team players disappeared.

They are satisfied.

I feel that the Chinese players are finally entering the rhythm of the first match of the World Cup...

※※※

The communication between the players of the Chinese team and the Spanish team in the player channel was not the most concerned thing before this game.

Outside the player tunnel, almost all the reporters present gathered in front of the coach of the home team. They pointed their guns and short cannons at the two people in the circle.

After coming out of the locker room, the head coach of the Chinese national team, Jorge Dillon, did not go to his own coaching bench, but went straight to the coaching bench of the Spanish team and took the initiative to ask his former rival Keili Bo Erha held out his hand.

Before he even walked to Borja, the flashlights of the cameras in the hands of the reporters flickered impatiently, and the sound of the shutters was as dense as if a "Chicago Typewriter" was spraying bullets.

In fact, this is not the first confrontation between Dillon and Borja.

In November last year, Dillon led the Chinese team to play a friendly match between Seville and Borja's Spanish national team in Spain.

Although Hu Lai scored a penalty in that game, the Chinese team still lost to the Spanish team 1:4.

Everyone was not like that at the time

Pay attention to the feud between Dillon and Borja.

The main reason is that the dust has settled, Borja led the team so brilliantly, what qualifications does Dillon have to compare with others?

This time it was because the day before the game, "World Sports Daily" suddenly exposed the recording of the call of the president of the Spanish Football Association, and "remade" the hot topic of the past.

Against the backdrop of the first World Cup match between the two teams, this incident that had already passed suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.

Everyone seems to hope that Dillon and Borja will continue the "previous grievances".

"Dillon walked towards Borja, he took the initiative to extend his hand... Borja took his hand and shook hands! The two shook hands in front of the media, fans and audience all over the world! This is not them The first handshake between the two, but it is the most symbolic handshake! It seems to want to tell everyone that the story between him and Borja is over, or to focus on today's game Come on!"

Dillon and Borja not only shook hands, they gave each other a hug and patted each other on the back.

Then they parted ways.

Dillon turned and walked back to the Chinese team's coaching bench. The reporters surrounding the two of them also dispersed.

Yu Jintao and Qin Lin, who witnessed the whole process from the coaching bench of the Chinese team, covered their mouths with their hands and complained: "It's just such a crap, the Spanish media can repeatedly hype it up, and it really made them succeed. Hall He still has to shake hands with Borja in front of the whole world, otherwise this matter will never end..."

Qin Lin covered his mouth and asked, "Could it be that the Spanish side deliberately leaked it at this time to disturb our army's morale?"

Yu Jintao frowned and shook his head: "It shouldn't be. After all, this is tantamount to pulling the entire Spanish team into the whirlpool of public opinion. It feels like the Barcelona media wants to eat traffic and gain popularity. After all, the Catalan media may not be with the media. The Spanish national team is of one mind."

When Dillon returned to his coaching bench, Yu Jintao and Qin Lin also finished their discussion.

They waited silently for players from both sides to play.

The drama with the head coaches of both sides as the protagonists is over, and it is time for the real protagonists to appear.

※※※

"Raise your head! Get ready to play!" Wang Guangwei slapped his hands vigorously and shouted back to his teammates.

Then he took a deep breath and stepped forward.

It is not the first time for him to be the captain, but this is the first time in his life that as the captain of the Chinese team, he is at the head of the team and leads the teammates behind him to the World Cup.

This was a scene that he never dared to imagine even in his youngest and frivolous age.

Now it has become a reality that he is experiencing.

On the other side, Spain's captain and goalkeeper Bakr also shouted cheers and led his teammates out of the channel.

Accompanied by the crisp and trivial sound of the impact of sneakers spikes and the floor, players from both sides, led by the coaching staff, climbed up the stairs and stepped onto the court.

※※※

"Here we come! Players from both sides have appeared!"

Han Shuyu leaned forward to look in the direction of the players' tunnel, and at the same time pointed his camera there.

She is still shooting material for her first VLOG of watching the Chinese team's World Cup game live.

There are Spanish fans around her, and there are also many Chinese fans.

Everyone cheered together to welcome the heroes in their hearts.

At this moment, Yan Yan and the others in front of the TV were also cheering.

"Come on, Hu Lai! Come on, Luo Kai! Come on, Xiaoyu! Come on, Team China!"

"Come on, come on! Team China, come on!"

In the FIFA fair play song, players from both sides file out, walk to the half where their respective national flags are, and then spread out to both sides with the center line as the axis and the referee group as the center.

After the players stood still, the live broadcast announced in Spanish, Chinese and English in sequence: "Please be quiet, everyone stand up, and the national anthem of the People's Republic of China will be played!"

The commentators were all quiet, and there were only two players in the live broadcast signal.

Thousands of Chinese fans sang the national anthem in unison.

The camera lens scanned the players of the Chinese team one by one, and the sound of them singing the national anthem was also transmitted back to the country through satellite signals.

Then the broadcast footage was shown to the Chinese team's bench and coach's bench.

The substitutes stand side by side and sing along.

There are also Chinese in Dillon's coaching team such as Yu Jintao and Qin Lin.

Dillon didn't sing, he stood still and put his hands on his heart.

After the Chinese national anthem was played, there was applause. The live broadcast reminded the fans to be quiet, and the Spanish national anthem will be played next.

After the national anthems of both sides were played, the scene re-emerged with huge cheers.

The narrators also got back to work.

"Okay, now the captains of the two sides step forward to exchange team flags, and choose sides..."

The home team's lottery was drawn, and in fact it was the home team's Spanish team captain Rodriguez Bakker who signaled Wang Guangwei to choose the side.

The side pick is actually a special coin slightly larger than a one-dollar coin, with a football pattern on one side and a World Cup trophy pattern on the other.

The captains of both teams choose one side each, and ask the referee to throw the side pick into the air, and then see which side is up after landing.

You can choose your team's half, you can also choose to kick off first, or you can choose to let the opponent kick off first.

Generally speaking, it is the home team that lets the visiting team choose first to show sportsmanship.

Wang Guangwei pointed to the side with the World Cup. After confirming with him, the referee showed the other side to Barker.

Buckle nodded OK.

Then the referee tossed the coin lightly, and after a dozen laps in the air, it landed directly on the turf surrounded by the three of them.

The three looked down:

world cup.

It was Wang Guangwei who picked the side up!

He got the right of first refusal.

The referee also pointed at him to signal him to make a choice.

Wang Guangwei recalled Hu Lai's special advice to him, so he said decisively: "We want the kick-off right."

He made a football sign with his hand.

After the referee confirmed, he turned to Buckle and asked him to choose the side.

Buckle picked the half the team was currently in—he pointed behind him.

Everything is ready.

The two sides shook hands again, and then shook hands with the four referee team members one by one.

Then take the exchanged team flag to the sidelines and run back to the field.

Their respective teammates are already waiting for them in their positions.

"The game is about to begin!"

In the commentary booth, the voices of the commentators from all over the world are already excited.

The Chinese fans in front of the TV also held their breath, waiting for the whistle with a sense of ritual.

※※※

Hu Lai said to Zhou Zijing: "Don't touch the ball for a while, I will take the first kick."

"You don't need to tell me specifically, do you?" Zhou Zijing curled his lips, thinking that Hu Lai was making a fuss: Isn't it just a kick-off, you drive it, you drive it, it's as if you want to grab it!

Hu Lai smiled at him and said nothing.

He dug out the [World Wave Experience Card] that he had saved a long time ago in the system space.

Ready to inspire anytime.

Zhou Zijing stood next to the football in the middle circle.

Then it turned out that Hu Lai didn't follow.

He looked at Hu Lai who was still standing on the edge of the middle circle with some surprise, and shouted to him: "You come here!"

Hu Lai gestured to him: "Now, don't touch the ball."

Seeing that he emphasized twice not to touch the ball, Zhou Zijing couldn't hold back and said, "Rare!"

The referee saw that Zhou Zijing was already standing in front of the football, so he looked down at his watch and checked the time with the fourth official on the sidelines through the headset.

at a certain time

After that, he took a deep breath and blew the whistle!

And as he inhaled, the original

Seeing this scene, Zhou Zijing asked in surprise, "Hey, what are you doing?"

Hu Lai ignored him and used [World Wave Experience Card] on himself while running.

The lingering sound of the opening whistle has not yet ended, and he has already killed the football!

Raise your right leg at the same time!

Before everyone could react, he hit the football firmly with his right foot on the instep!

Boom!

The wind and thunder stirred in Zhou Zijing's ears!

Football has turned into a white practice, flying to the goal of the Spanish national team!

After seeing Hu Lai's kick, the Spanish fans in the stands booed loudly!

The goalkeeper of the Spanish national team, Rodriguez Bakker, was originally standing on the line of the penalty area, waiting for the kick-off. As soon as the whistle sounded, he saw the football flying towards him!

He was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly thought of last year's Champions League final!

So he immediately turned around and ran back!

This time he didn't retreat directly because he was afraid that he would slow down...

This speed is fast, but he has no way to know the position of the football in the first place.

When he looked back, the football was almost flying!

He hurriedly jumped towards the goal, and at the same time, he raised his hands vigorously, with his back facing the incoming ball, hoping to knock the football out...

But he didn't touch it!

The football passed between his raised hands!

When he reappeared in Buckle's sight, he had already hit the goal!

PS, the third shift starts today!

The second update is at 1:00 noon~www.novelbuddy.com~ The third update is at 6:00 pm!

PS2, the game between Portugal and Morocco yesterday, all I want to say is in the previous single chapter "Extraordinary Heart", friends who want to watch it can watch it, I will not say more here.

In fact, I didn't watch the game between England and France because I was codewording. I didn't finish writing until the last stoppage time, so I turned on the live broadcast and watched it.

France is still strong, and there are strong men in every position.

Most importantly, they have what the other favorites don't have...a big center!

I think if Argentina can't win the title, then France will defend it successfully.

No way, French football has caught up with their golden age...

There are no games today and tomorrow, World Cup truce.

Everyone take a good rest, and I will work hard to code and catch up with the draft.
