Chapter 750 Are you nervous?
When Hulay was warming up on the court, some Qatari fans in the stands nearby booed and yelled at him.
The other Chinese players around him couldn't understand it, but they could also understand what the Qatari fans meant.
For Hu Lai, a side effect of being proficient in all the languages in the world is that he can completely understand what the other party is scolding him...
Translated into Chinese, they are basically all common swear words used to greet his mother in various variations.
That's the downside of being able to understand all languages.
If you have poor psychological quality, you can still deceive yourself and others if you don't understand, and lie to yourself that there are a bunch of dogs barking in the stands.
If you can understand, you can't deceive yourself.
But who is Hu Lai?
He is someone who is against the whole world, how could his mental quality be so bad?
Thanks to the past experience of being laughed at for so long when he was a student, his heart has long been as solid as a rock.
Even if he could understand what the Qatari fans were yelling at, Hulay could still regard them as a pack of dogs barking.
Hu Lai thought it didn't matter, but the Chinese media reporters present could not be as calm as Hu Lai.
"Hu Lai's character...sometimes it's really hard to say. Things that were supposed to be tolerated and then passed, but I had to rush and talk about it, and it ended up like this..."
In the media gallery, Chinese reporters gathered together and whispered.
"A genius has some unique characteristics in terms of personality. Otherwise, how can he be a genius?"
"That's what he said, but it was originally a life and death battle, and he incited the opponent's fighting spirit to become more and more intense. Why do I feel that this is a disservice?"
"What is actually being tested at this time is the psychological quality of our players... To be honest, I think the Chinese team's record... is hanging!"
"I think it's pretty good. If Chinese football really wants to make progress, it must learn to face this extreme dilemma. It is also an excellent exercise for the psychological quality of the young players in the current team..."
The reporters themselves are not unified in their internal opinions, which fully demonstrates their ambivalence in facing this matter.
On the one hand, I am worried about Hu Lai and the Chinese team, but on the other hand, it is really difficult to say bad words to Hu Lai, the hero of Chinese football, and put the blame on him.
Someone looked at the Chinese players who were warming up off the field and sighed: "I hope they can really learn something from it, that would be a good result..."
The implication is that even if the Chinese team loses this game, if they can learn from it how to face this very unfriendly away atmosphere, it will not be a loss in vain.
This is actually a very pessimistic idea.

On the court, assistant coach Li Zhifei and other coaches are warming up the players.
This was the last training opportunity before the game. He seemed a little nervous. In the extremely noisy scene, he was shouting in various areas to remind the players:
"Warm up seriously! If you don't warm up seriously, you will be unlucky if you get injured during the game! You deserve it!"
"Don't worry about things off the field, they have nothing to do with you! That's Hu Lai's business!"
Hearing what the assistant coach said, Chen Xingyi couldn't help laughing.
Hu Lai glared at him: "Didn't you hear? Warm up seriously!"
But around him, some teammates still lowered their heads and chuckled.
If the worried reporters in the media gallery saw this scene, they would probably find it incredible:
It's just...a little different from what they imagined.
In their imagination, this is the last game of the Chinese team's top 12 matches, a game that determines life and death. In addition, Hu Lai caused such a big disturbance before the game. The players of the Chinese team must be in panic at this time and cannot concentrate on the warm-up training and the following game.
In fact, judging from the "records" of the Chinese team in the past, these reporters were right.
Poor psychological quality has always been a common problem in Chinese football.
Those players who performed well in the club suddenly no longer know how to play when they join the national team.
It's just that now this Chinese team can no longer be viewed with the same old eyes.
This change began to happen when Shi Wuyin became the team's head coach and recruited many young players.
Young people came in, brought fresh blood, and also brought something to this team that was lacking before.
※※※
After finishing the warm-up, the players of the Chinese team returned to the locker room to make final preparations for the next game.
After Hu Lai changed his clothes, he got into the toilet and took out the [Powerful Charming Essence Lotion] from the system space.
Why hide in the toilet and use this?
Be aware that doing so may make teammates think he is nervous.
Sure enough, before he entered the toilet, Lin Zhiyuan deliberately asked loudly: "Hu Lai, are you nervous?"
Hu Laili ignored him, entered the toilet and locked the door.
"It's normal to be nervous. Who wouldn't be nervous about Hu Lai's situation? Maybe you are not as good as Hu Lai." Yao Huasheng, the captain of the team and Lin Zhiyuan's captain at the club, stood up to speak for Hu Lai. , educated his juniors in the club.
Of course Lin Zhiyuan did not dare to joke with the captain, so he had to defend himself: "I just care about him..."
Everyone else in the locker room who heard this conversation turned their attention to the closed toilet door.
Yao Huasheng is right, anyone in Hu Lai's situation will be nervous, and many of them may even perform worse than Hu Lai.
It is natural for people to be nervous, so there is nothing to tease Hu Lai about.
※※※
Hu Lai in the toilet actually knew what his teammates would say about him. He also knew that showing nervousness before the game would seem to have some negative effects on his personal image...
But whichever is the lesser of two evils.
Compared with being nervous before such a crucial game, the fact that a stubborn straight man would put incense on his face before the game may have a worse reputation for him...
He had already opened the glass bottle in his hand, dug out the white lotion inside, and looked at it carefully.
He once used a trial version of this thing and went to school to try it on. The effect... I can't say it's not good, but I can't say how good it is. Because he found that even if he cheated, the number of female fans he could attract was very, very limited...
Later, as his career became more and more successful and he became more and more famous, it seemed that he no longer needed to use this thing.
So even though he only needed 3,000 points to exchange for a trial bottle, he never wasted points on this thing.
In his opinion, these are props used by the system to make up the numbers to prevent the system mall from being too shabby and deserted, so everything is stuffed in as a commodity.
He has not changed his view until now.
But just because the trial version is rubbish, it doesn’t mean that this [Powerful Charming Essence Lotion] is also rubbish.
Just for the description of the effect of "even your mortal enemy can impress you", this thing is an artifact!
What are you most worried about on the road?
It's the hostility from the home team's fans.
But with this thing, does it mean that I can walk sideways in the away game?
When he thought of this, Hu Lai was full of expectations for completing his task.
Then he smeared all the essence and lotion he dug out on his face, even hollowed out the bottle, and even touched the lotion on his hands...
After completely spreading the [Powerful Charm Essence Lotion] on his face, Hu Lai carefully looked at himself in the mirror. After confirming that there was no clue on his face, he opened the toilet door and walked out.
As soon as he came out, he felt everyone's eyes on him.
Under their gaze, Hu Lai returned to his seat with a normal expression, as if he just went to the toilet and was not really nervous.
When Chen Xingyi saw him sitting down, he came up to him and asked humbly: "I didn't expect you to be nervous, Hu Lai. I thought someone with such a dirty heart like you wouldn't know what 'nervousness' is." .”
Hu Lai snorted: "Who is nervous? Oh, you are nervous when going to the toilet before the game? Little Xingxing, you have made the mistake of dogmatism and empiricism. I just went to unload the burden."
"Stop being so tough, Hu Lai, just admit it!" Chen Xingyi smiled.
Hu Lai curled his lips: "I'm not being harsh. Relaxing before the game will help me reduce the burden on my body, and I will be more flexible during the game. Don't you know such a simple truth, little star?"
< br>
"What the hell!" Chen Xingyi obviously didn't believe it.
Hu Lai chuckled and patiently explained to him: "Let me ask you, little star, are you fast players particular when choosing sneakers? For example, they require light enough weight, narrow shoes, and even shoes. The nails should be made of metal as little as possible... just to reduce the weight and pursue the ultimate lightweight so that you can run faster in the competition, am I right?"
Chen Xingyi nodded.
This is really what Hu Lai said.
His current sneakers are such a pair of lightweight sneakers. In order to reduce weight, the manufacturer even took the weight of the shoelaces into consideration. The shoelaces of his shoes are shorter than those of ordinary sneakers.
"You see you only thought of ways to deal with sneakers... why didn't you consider using the toilet to reduce the weight inside your body before the game?" Hu Lai asked with a smile.
Chen Xingyi was stunned, and then fell into a thoughtful state.
※※※
With ten minutes left before his appearance, Shi Wuyuan walked into the locker room and decided to say something, but Hu Lai raised his hand and shouted: "Report to Director Shi, Chen Xingyi is not here!"
"Not there? Where has he gone?" Shi Wuyuan was a little surprised.
"Going to the bathroom!" Hu Lai replied loudly.
"Going to the bathroom at this time?" Shi Wuyuan muttered with some dissatisfaction.
"Maybe I'm nervous..." Hu Lai spread his hands.
Shi Wuyin wanted to complain about why he was so nervous. Isn't the pressure all on you now?
But when they thought that this game was a real life-and-death battle for the Chinese team, other players except Hu Lai would be nervous, so they swallowed the old saying and turned to Hu Lai and said: "You put him Call him out, there’s no way so many of us are waiting for him.”
"Okay!"
Hu Lai ran to break down the door, but Chen Xingyi had already opened the door and came out.
When he saw Hu Lai, he gave Hu Lai a hard look - when he was in the toilet, he heard everything going on outside.
Hu Lai grinned very innocently.
Chen Xingyi left him behind and said to Shi Wuyuan: "Director Shi, I'm not nervous!"
"It's normal to be nervous." Shi Wuyin started with this topic and said to others in the locker room: "After all, this is our last game in the top 12. And this game is related to whether we can still To retain the hope of reaching the World Cup...Before such a crucial game, it is normal to be nervous, and it is abnormal not to be nervous..."
When he said this, someone in the locker room laughed.
And there are also people who have set their sights on Chen Xingyi.
Chen Xingyi, who had always said that he was not nervous before, became an "abnormal human being".
Shi Wuyin noticed this scene and realized that what he said seemed to mean something...
He quickly said to Chen Xingyi: "I didn't mean you..."
Chen Xingyi said with a sad face: "It's okay if you don't explain, Director Shi..."
"Hahaha!" Hu Lai took the lead and laughed.
Even Shi Wuyin himself couldn't hold it back and started laughing.
The locker room was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.
No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the crucial life and death battle that will follow...
※※※
At the same time, in the home team's locker room, the head coach of the Qatar national team was giving his players a boost: "Never mind whether the UAE can beat Saudi Arabia away from home... That doesn't mean anything to us! We There is only one thing to consider, and that is to defeat the Chinese team here! Tell them who is the master here!”
"The Chinese players seemed very arrogant before the game. Hu Lai may think we are vulnerable. Then let him know what price he has to pay for these words! Go on the field and tear him apart and make him regret what he said before the game. Those words! And let our fans give us a standing ovation!”
He pointed at the goal, and the assistant coach suddenly opened the door at the door. All the noise from outside came in and broke into the ears of all Qatar players. (End of chapter)
