Chapter 771: Playing football with your brain (no)

When Hu Lai saw Park Suntae running to celebrate the goal with Barnes, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart - this is the gap between the world's top football level and Asia's top level...

In the World Cup Asian qualifiers, Park Soon-tae was the top scorer of the South Korean team, scoring a total of nine goals, helping the South Korean team get the right to participate in the World Cup two rounds in advance.

Although not the top scorer in the qualifiers, these nine goals can still be ranked in the top three.

There is nothing wrong with saying that Park Soon-tae is the "goal scorer" of the Korean team.

But such a scorer who can travel sideways in Asia has repeatedly missed opportunities in the Premier League...

He does not think that it is Park Soon-tae's poor mental quality that prevents him from performing at the same level in the national team and club team.

In fact, it is very simple, it is the gap between the level of Asian football and top European football.

In low-level competitions, one can thrive, even thrive, but in high-level competitions, one's performance will naturally be greatly reduced.

On the other hand, it is precisely because he has experienced torture and tempering in high-level competitions that he can perform well in less-developed competitions.

Is Park Soon Tae not strong enough?

Of course not. As the "Light of Asia", Park Soon-tae has been in European football for more than ten years. There is no doubt about his ability and resume.

It can only show that the intensity of confrontation in the Premier League is really strong.

Even a player like Park Soon-tae, after playing for dozens of minutes in the Premier League, will have problems with his shots being inaccurate when trying to break through alone - although Park Soon-tae is not known for his accurate shooting skills...

Hu Lai has been in the Premier League for less than a year and has already seen many differences between European football and Chinese football. Now he has also seen the gap between European football and Asian football.

He thought of his friends, whether it was the older brother Huan or the youngest Xiaoyu, they should come out as soon as possible.

Only when you come out can you see the difference.

Only when we see the gap can we have the motivation and direction to work hard.

Otherwise, I would just play football in China, and I would have reached the ceiling without realizing it. I always feel that I am very powerful... but in fact, I am so powerful!

Come out!

Only when you see the vastness of the world can you achieve great things.

※※※

While Park Soon-tae was celebrating with his teammates, he took the time to glance at Hu Lai in the distance and saw that he was staring in the direction where he was, looking fascinated.

I don’t know if I’m upset that the team’s lead has disappeared, or if I regret that I couldn’t score a goal before.

The contest between us has just begun, Hu Lai, don’t lose your fighting spirit so quickly!

When Pu Chun Tai thought this in his heart, he could never imagine what Hu Lai's true thoughts were at this moment...

※※※

The game restarted, and Clark did not let Leeds City shrink its defense after losing the ball, but continued to attack. According to his understanding, since everything has been equalized, why should we defend? Attack! Only offense can regain the lead. What are you doing back at this time?

So Leeds City continued to attack the London Bridge goal.

London Bridge, who are good at defense, are happy to continue their defensive counterattack. After equalizing the score, they are not anxious at all.

According to their experience, after Leeds City has been attacking like this for a while and finds it difficult to break through the London Bridge defense, it will become more impatient and more loopholes will appear behind the defense. At that time, London Bridge launched a counterattack, and only needed one strike to overtake the score.

For London Bridge, a team that is good at defense, as long as they lead by one goal, they have a great chance of winning the game.

Different from Tony Clark's philosophy that "one goal lead is the most dangerous score in the world", London Bridge's football philosophy is "1:0ist". First of all, London Bridge did not concede a goal, which means that London Bridge's defense did a good job. Secondly, it only scored one goal to win, which fully illustrates that London Bridge's offensive efficiency is very high.

So 1:0 is the perfect score.

However, Marco Bartoni, a famous football coach in Italy, has different opinions on this point. The representative of the Italian academic school believes that the most perfect football match result should be 0:0, because this score means that no one made a mistake.

※※※

Hulay discovered that from some unknown time, the London Bridge defenders paid less attention to his long-range shots from outside the penalty area.

Because he actually got the opportunity to shoot without being defended outside the penalty area.

He thought about it carefully, and it should have appeared as the fight between Kamala and Montgomery became more and more intense.

Montgomery put the focus of defense on Kamara, and the other midfielder Hussman naturally had to take over the task of defending in the middle.

And Pete Williams and Jay Adams always come forward to threaten London Bridge's defense in the middle, so Hassman's task is a bit heavy.

In this case, if you try to take strict precautions against your long-range shots as before, you will naturally be powerless.

Moreover, Hu Lai believes that the current situation is also due to the fact that several of his previous long-range shots did not pose a threat to the London Bridge goal at all.

It is estimated that it is difficult for Hulay to threaten the London Bridge goal outside the penalty area. Compared with Kamara, Williams, and Adams, the threat outside the penalty area is greater than Hulay.

Therefore, London Bridge is in the consideration of optimally arranging the defensive focus, and there are not so many restrictions on Hulay's activities outside the penalty area.

The opportunity Hu Lai had been waiting for finally arrived.

He quickly took advantage of a long-range shot and completed the long-range fire calibration.

This time he hit the door frame.

But too right.

Alberto Bueno didn't even move a step, he just held the football in his arms.

Rather than saying that he pounced on the ball, it is better to say that Hulay passed the football directly back to Bueno - it was not strong and the angle was not awkward. This kind of ball is not difficult for the goalkeeper to save.

When Bueno hugged the football, he was still thinking: Oh, you can finally kick the ball within the goal frame...

That's it, he has no more ideas.

This is just one of many invalid shots in a game, so why should you care?

※※※

After Hu Lai calibrated, he did not continuously try long-range shots, but still ran into the penalty area, trying to fight hand-to-hand with the taller and stronger central defender, looking for opportunities.

Of course, the result was a defeat - with his current body, he simply couldn't compete head-on with Birx and Martin.

To anyone, Hu Lai looked like a helpless struggle after being disappointed with his long-range shot outside the penalty area.

There will also be people who look at Hu Lai with eyes full of sympathy and pity.

But those who know him well may be confused.

"Brother Hu, isn't he in a bad state today? I feel like my long-distance shooting is not going well..." In the spacious living room of the villa, Xia Xiaoyu finally asked the question in his mind.

And people who are really familiar with him will say this:

"I always feel that he did it on purpose." Wang Guangwei frowned, "He also showed long-range shots during the national team training, and it was not that bad. Even if there is physical confrontation in the Premier League, it won't be like this..."

But only those who understand Hu Lai will see his true thoughts.

"I think he wants to trick someone."

Everyone turned to look at Zhang Qinghuan who was speaking. He still had an expression on his face that said, "I've seen through him a long time ago."

When Zhang Qinghuan said this, everyone nodded after thinking for a while, thinking that it meant something...

When Hu Lai's performance suddenly does not match the situation they are familiar with, it must be holding back a big (bad) move.

Only Qin Qi disagreed: "No, Park Soon-tae has seen Brother Hu's long-range shots in the national team. With him here, it's impossible for him not to remind his teammates, right?"

Zhang Qinghuan chuckled: "That's why his long-range shots were so inaccurate before. He looked very casual. No matter if there was a chance or not, he would take a shot. In fact, it was just to deliberately make the London Bridge defensive players lower their vigilance towards him. Even if Park Soon-tae Reminded them that after seeing Hu Lai's performance, they probably won't take Hu Lai's long-range shot too seriously..."

Qin Qi still found it a bit unbelievable - how could a person be so sinister... no, to such an extent?

He turned to look at Qin Lin, hoping to get an answer from his father.

Qin Lin nodded first: "He can indeed do such a thing."

Then he explained to his son in detail: "Of course he didn't do it casually, he just followed the trend. Those long shots that didn't seem to be of high quality were indeed because the London Bridge defensive players guarded him particularly hard. For others, in this defense. Under the intensity, if you don't play well, you won't play well. A motivated person may try to play well in the next shot, but Hu Lai will use this phenomenon to mislead the opponent and make the opponent think that his long-range shooting level is indeed not good. How about it. You see, even Xiaoyu was deceived..."

Xia Xiaoyu blushed next to him.

Zhang Qinghuan patted his shoulder and laughed: "It's okay, not many normal people can keep up with that kid's brain circuit."

After listening to his father's explanation, Qin Qiyi clapped his hands: "No wonder Dad, you always let me use my brain to play football. It turns out that you want me to learn from Brother Hu..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Wang Guangwei burst into laughter.

Zhang Qinghuan had just finished comforting Xia Xiaoyu and turned to Qin Qi with a smile: "Brother Hu, you don't call it 'playing football with your brain', he calls it 'playing ball with bad water'."

Qin Lin also waved his hands repeatedly: "I didn't ask you to learn from him. It's not that he is not good, but that you can't learn. You are not like him, and you can't become him."

"To put it simply, you're not cheap enough, Xiao Qi." Wang Guangwei nodded and hit the target.

Now it was Qin Qi's turn to blush.

Joyous laughter echoed in the living room until the commentator He Feng interrupted it with a loud shout.

"Hulai has a chance!!"

※※※

Hu Lai once again pulled out of the penalty area. Neither Birx nor Martin followed him out. They still stood in their positions.

Naturally, there are other teammates outside who are responsible.

Marcus Hassman is at the top of the free throw arc at this time, taking on the task of guarding Hulay and Pete Williams alone.

And his defensive midfielder partner Montgomery was restrained by Kamara.

At this moment, Jay Adams suddenly stepped in from behind, and at the same time made a gesture to pass the ball forward to Hu Lai.

Hu Lai did turn towards him and made a motion of moving the football that way.

This made Hasman, who was blocking him, realize that Hulay was going to pass the football to Adams, so he immediately retreated and pounced on Jay Adams, who was running up from the left side of Hulay.

Adams once scored with a long shot in the last game. It can be said that he is obviously a greater threat outside the penalty area than Hulay.

But just after he pounced, he found that Hu Lai's left foot was just a fake shot, and then went around the top of the football and then dunked to the right!

Others changed direction and went to the right!

Passed by Hussmann!

Then he adjusted his pace, raised his right leg and whipped the football with his left foot directly towards the goal!

Goalkeeper Bueno, who was standing in front of the door, saw Hulay kicking, but he didn't take it seriously. He thought that if you can hit it within the door frame, you are considered good, boy...

But then he discovered that the flight trajectory of the football was different from Hu Lai's previous long shots!

not good!

After reacting, Bueno quickly moved and jumped toward his left goal area.

But he didn't touch the ball!

Oops...

The moment this idea came to his mind, he saw the football flying into the goal!

"Hu is going to take a long shot again... Hu... Oh oh oh oh oh - HUUUUUUULAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI!!! He shot through Bueno's fingers! What a wonderful goal! Hu finally seized the opportunity, He completed the goal with a long shot! He had been trying long shots before! This time he was not only within the goal frame, but also from a tricky angle! It seems that luck is finally on his side this time!"

"Here we come!!!" Zhang Qinghuan slapped his thigh hard in front of the projection screen, "He finally succeeded in fooling his opponent!"

PS, during the Qingming Festival holiday, my children wanted to go camping, so I just bought a bunch of equipment a few days ago - these equipment will probably be used once and then thrown away to pile up dust at home. It makes me heartbroken when I think of paying here. But in order to satisfy the child's wish, he had to admit it.

Not only the children, but also myself went camping for the first time.

So I don’t know what to expect during camping.

It must be inconvenient to code.

And I don’t want to take a computer and work hard to write 3,000 words in one day. This is how I take my wife and children to go out with relatives during the Spring Festival. My wife and relatives are basking in the sun, drinking tea and chatting on the rooftop of the farmhouse. I A person is typing in a cold and shady room, huddled on an uncomfortable chair. In the end, my wife called us on the phone to go up to the rooftop to take pictures for them, so we enjoyed some free time.

So I’ll take two days off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and there will only be one update for the time being. I plan to have some fun with my children and wife, and also let my mind relax for a while.

We will resume two updates after the Qingming Festival is over (that is, next Tuesday). We sincerely ask for your understanding.

After all, as a father and husband, I code in front of the computer every day, and occasionally I still have to spend time with my family... (End of Chapter)
