Chapter 775 King of Worker
Hu Lai lowered his head and turned around to pat the dirt and grass clippings off his butt. When he raised his head, he had the same smile on his face as in his official bust photo.
But this time the Uzbek players did not think of it as a "boyish, clean and warm" smile.
Instead, the smile now represented danger in their eyes.
Because just now, the team's center back Akbar Hamlayev received a foul on this "teenage".
At that time, Hulay changed directions twice in succession next to Hamlayev, which made Hamlayev a little confused when he was trying to find him. In the end, in order to prevent him from getting rid of himself, Hamlayev reached out and pulled down Hulay.
Strange to say, this kid fell down as soon as he was pulled, as if he didn't want to struggle at all. He fell down very cleanly, without wasting any time.
Amid huge boos above the Capital Works Stadium, the referee called a foul on Hamlayevla.
There is nothing wrong with this penalty. Hamlayev knew it too, so he admitted it.
But after Hulay got up after being pulled down, he made a gesture to the referee asking for a card, hoping that the referee would show Hamlayev a yellow card.
Although the referee did not listen to him, this scene fell into the eyes of Hamlayev and made him give Hulay a hard look.
Hu Lai didn't realize it at all. He patted the dirt and grass clippings on his butt, raised his head and smiled cleanly and warmly, like a young man.
The match between the Chinese team and Uzbekistan at home has lasted for almost thirty minutes, and the score is still 0:0.
Uzbekistan's tactical purpose in this game is very clear, which is to strive to draw the Chinese team on the road. Therefore, the tactics formulated by their head coach Bekzod Rasulov are all focused on defense. If the team loses the ball on offense, it will never struggle with the Chinese team in the frontcourt, and there is no such thing as counterattack on the spot, but a quick recovery. Just like the ebbing tide, all the bees retreated.
The area of 30 meters was heavily fortified and the doors were locked.
Why they retreat so quickly is because Luo Kai and Chen Xingyi are too fast. In order not to give the Chinese team a chance to counterattack through the two wings, of course they must recover quickly to avoid too many gaps behind them.
This tactic was successful from the first 30 minutes. Although the Chinese team had the upper hand and dominated Uzbekistan most of the time, they were unable to score.
There are people in the penalty area, and Uzbekistan's players are also relatively good in physical fitness, so Hulay also tried to stretch out of the penalty area for long shots.
But when he takes a long shot, there will definitely be Uzbek players around him to interfere and defend him.
So even long-range shots don't have very good effects.
The tactics of both sides in this game are very simple, there are no mysteries, and there are no surprises.
After all, the two teams have played against each other many times in Asian football, and they know each other's level somewhat.
In addition, Uzbekistan has three main players playing in the Chinese Super League. Both the Chinese team and the Chinese team are familiar with them.
Hu Lai is famous and has no secrets.
Therefore, Hu Lai's attempt to use some tricks to take advantage of the situation in this game may not work.
Hu Lai was not too disappointed with this, because he knew that this was the normal state of the game. The previous attack on London Bridge is a very special case and cannot be considered as the norm.
Many times, there is no unexpected secret weapon or loopholes to exploit.
If you want to score goals, you have to show your true ability to go head-to-head with the opponent and compete head-to-head.
At this point in the qualifiers, no opponent is easy to deal with, and no opponent will easily make mistakes and give up the advantage.
Although this attack was stopped by the opponent with a foul, Hu Lai still felt confident. Because when the opponent uses fouls to stop them, it means that they are already struggling to defend...
He has confidence in himself and his teammates. After all, he spent 90,000 points to exchange for three [Ling Xi Cards] and used them on his teammates - Huan Ge, Xiao Xingxing and Luo Kai are all lucky enough to have a telepathy with him. .
It is valid for three consecutive games, and the play-offs are two consecutive games, perfect coverage. At this time, he no longer cares about the validity period of the wasted game...
In addition, he also exchanged for a [lover's red rope] and wore it on his arm to increase his luck.
In order to ensure that he can go to the World Cup, Hu Lai really devoted everything and gambled everything.

"Hu Lai won an excellent free kick for the Chinese team, and Zhang Qinghuan came to take the kick...run-up shot!! Wow...it was saved...and!"
Following a series of exclamations from He Feng, Hu Lai came out of the penalty area and kicked the football towards the goal before Azam Jabalov!
It's a pity that the football missed the outside of the goalpost and flew out of the bottom line...
"What a pity!" He Feng slapped his thigh regretfully in the commentary box of the Workers' Stadium.
"Keep an eye on people!" Uzbekistan captain Namozov pointed at Hulay and shouted to Jabalov.
The latter raised his hand to apologize to the captain - his attention was indeed not on Hu Lai just now, but was attracted by the football.
The free kick kicked by Zhang Qinghuan was of high quality. It perfectly bypassed the wall and went straight to the top corner of the goal. At that time, Jabalov, who was responsible for guarding Hulay in the penalty area, was so worried about the football entering the goal that he forgot to pay attention to the people around him.
He sighed inwardly when he saw the ball blocked by goalkeeper Hassan Abramov. But just in the middle of the breath, he saw the football flying in the direction of him. At this time, he started to make a clearance, but it was already too late. Hu Lai succeeded in shooting in front of him.
"Jabalov was a little slow when defending Hulay, and his concentration was a little lackluster..." the commentator of Uzbekistan TV shook his head. "Jabalov only moved to the Chinese Super League this year. When he went, Hu Lai had already left Anton Shining Stars, so he was not able to play directly against Hu Lai in the game. Otherwise, I think If he had played against Hu Lai in the Chinese Super League, he would not have been so lax when defending Hu Lai just now..."
Don't tell me, what the Uzbek TV commentator said is very possible.
Otherwise, why would their captain Namozov value Hulay so much?
Because he had played against Hu Lai in the Chinese Super League. Although it was only for one season, it was enough for him to see Hu Lai's power.
As a purely opportunistic shooter, why can Hu Lai become the top scorer in the Chinese Super League and help the team win the championship?
It's because he is an extremely efficient opportunist. Unless you can go an entire game without giving him a chance, you risk conceding the ball.
As an offensive midfielder, Namozov's main task is to score. It is impossible to defend Hulay personally during the game, so he can only leave the task of defending Hulay to his teammates. But looking at the performance of his teammates, he still has to continue to worry about it and remind his teammates from time to time.
After all, not everyone is as strict as him...
Fortunately, he is a football hero in Uzbekistan and a big brother in football. His influence in this national team means that his words are still listened to.

The Chinese team launched another attack. When Zhang Qinghuan dribbled the ball forward, Hamlayev looked back behind him to confirm Hu Lai's position.
This sight scared him into a cold sweat - there was no one behind him! Hu Lai is missing!
He quickly turned around to look again, and finally saw Hu Lai on the other side, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, he saw Hu Lai suddenly speeding up and trying to get in front of him. He quickly followed and reached out to intercept.
His hands were empty because Hu Lai, who had been advancing, suddenly stopped and moved outward!
Hamlayev followed the sudden stop and turned around to chase back.
The tall and powerful Hamlayev has first-class physical confrontation ability and good air defense, but it is still a bit difficult to follow Hu Lai in the Lingbo Weibu.
After his continuous sudden stops and changes of direction, his movements were already a bit sluggish.
Hu Lai didn't wait for him to pounce on him, but instead pulled away laterally and ran back.
At the same time, Luo Kai thrust forward from behind him.
Two people came to a cross swap!
Hamlayev glanced at Luo Kai and then looked at Hu Lai. He hesitated for a moment, not knowing who to deal with. Of course he knew how powerful Hu Lai was as he played in Haihe Shuanggang, but he also knew very well. Luo Kai’s ability...
But the football was not passed to either of these two men.
Zhang Qinghuan shot directly from outside the penalty area!
The cross movement of Hu Lai and Luo Kai attracted the attention of the Uzbek defenders and created a shooting opportunity for Zhang Qinghuan.
Uzbekistan's goalkeeper Hassan Abramov had been guarding Hulay or Luo Kai's shot before, but he did not expect that the shot came from Zhang Qinghuan outside the penalty area!
He jumped up quickly and stretched his arms.
The football made an arc in the air, bypassed Abramov's hand, and flew into the goal!
The Chinese team just took the lead!
"Zhang Qinghuan - beautiful!!! This ball is beautiful!! He chose to shoot by himself, which greatly exceeded the expectations of the Uzbek defense players! In this stadium of Workers' Stadium, Zhang Qinghuan always seems to be able to perform better! He and this The stadium is indeed in tune!”
After scoring the goal, Zhang Qinghuan accelerated to the front of the billboard, then put one hand on the billboard and jumped over it. Then he ran straight to the stands behind the billboard and waved his fist to the fans above.
His move aroused the excitement of the fans in the stands. They rushed down from the heights and squeezed to the front row to shout Zhang Qinghuan's name crazily.
Most of the Chinese teams watching this game in this stadium are also fans of the capital Tamron. They expressed their long-standing love and remembrance to Zhang Qinghuan in this way:
When you, as a Flash Star player, come to Gongti as a guest, we cannot cheer for you.
But now, you are not a Star player, and we are not Tamron fans.
You are wearing the Chinese team jersey, and we are Chinese team fans.
We can finally call your name and shout for you without any scruples!
Amid the cheers of mountains and tsunamis, the nickname that was once used to ridicule Zhang Qinghuan changed its meaning. He is the real "King of Workers' Sports"!
