Chapter 858 Relief
"Chen Xingyi! Beautiful instep! Luo Kai—Luo Kai!! Oh, beautiful!!!"
As He Feng shouted, countless Chinese fans cheered in front of the TV.
“This is the first goal of the Chinese team’s European training, scored by Luo Kai, who is studying abroad in Europe!”
After scoring the goal, Luo Kai was very excited and ran towards the corner flag area. Finally, he knelt down on his knees, looked up to the sky and screamed.
More teammates from the national team rushed over, surrounded him, and celebrated the goal together.
This goal is naturally of great significance to Luo Kai, and the same is true for the Chinese team.
The disastrous defeat to the French team in the first game was a heavy blow to the morale and confidence of the Chinese team players. There were also some voices criticizing and questioning them in the public opinion, and pressure followed.
In this case, the whole team urgently needs a goal to boost morale and release pressure.
Luo Kai's goal came at just the right time!
And they evened the score with this goal...
Luo Kai is more excited than everyone thinks, because he is under greater pressure than everyone else.
Ever since the news came out that Tramed was interested, he has been put under the magnifying glass of Chinese fans.
When he held up Tramed's scarf to the media reporters at the red-top stadium, he was full of glory and made people look forward to his future in Europe. He looks to have an incredibly bright future.
But the three months of being stuck in Veronica caused him to suffer a lot of criticism. There are even rumors starting to appear on the domestic Internet that he can no longer hold on in Veronica and plans to let Tramed rent him back to the domestic Hedong Thunder before the World Cup starts to ensure that he can be there before the World Cup. Play the game steadily and maintain your form...
Some people compared him to Hu Lai, accusing him of being dazzled by the rich family and not making the same wise choice as Hu Lai. In the end, he suffered the consequences. It was simply his own fault!
As the successor to Hu Lai, he shoulders the important task of continuing the trend of Chinese players going overseas. His performance is also regarded by many as an important guarantee for whether more Chinese players will be able to play in Europe in the future... Under such circumstances, people would not allow him to fail.
In fact, it can be said that the public opinion environment after Luo Kai went abroad was worse than that of Hu Lai. Because Hu Lai was already "precious and precious", everyone would inevitably have higher expectations for Luo Kai.
Before Hu Lai went abroad, it had been a long time since any Chinese male football players had been able to play abroad. In addition, he chose a Premier League relegation team, so everyone did not have much hope for his performance in a short period of time. , I just think Hu Lai can play in Leeds City. As for his performance after playing in the game, there is no unified consensus. Everyone has their own opinions on when and how many goals Hulay can score in the Premier League.
Everyone knows the subsequent story. Hulay made his debut in the Premier League a month later and scored five goals in three consecutive games. By the end of the season, he became Leeds City's top scorer with eleven goals.
Looking back at everyone's speculations about Hu Lai, I suddenly felt ridiculous - the fans are still too conservative!
Therefore, under this background, Chinese fans naturally have high hopes for Luo Kai's study abroad.
But he disappointed fans across the country.
If he hadn't received a call from Director Shi, if he hadn't met Li Qingqing in Paris this time, he might have been crushed by the tremendous pressure...
But no matter what happened before, Luo Kai is now full of hope for the future.
The energy he drew from Director Shi's call, Li Qingqing's encouragement, and this ball was enough to support him in trudging in the darkness for a long time.
He firmly believes that he will be able to reach the other side of the light this time!
Just when Luo Kai was feeling moved in his heart, an inappropriate voice suddenly sounded next to him: "Hey, Luo Kai, you scored the goal thanks to my help!"
Luo Kai turned to glare at Hu Lai, not understanding why he said that.
This attack was instigated by Zhang Qinghuan. Chen Xingyi passed the ball and he caught the ball and shot.
Hu Lai, what happened to you during the whole process?
"Haha, did you hear me yell when you caught the ball?" Hu Lai saw Luo Kai's expression and knew what he was thinking, so he asked with a sneer.
Luo Kai frowned and thought for a while, but he really heard it, so he nodded.
"Then do you know what I'm shouting?"
Luo Kai shook his head: "Who knows what bird language you are talking about, I can't understand it at all..."
Hu Lai stroked his hands and smiled: "Yes! I was speaking in bird language... Ukrainian, and I asked you to pass the ball to me. As a result, I successfully deceived the opponent's central defender and gave you an excellent shooting opportunity. . If it weren’t for my voice, the opponent would press forward immediately. How would you have the shooting angle? Do you think your military achievements are half as good as mine?”
Luo Kai was stunned. He didn't expect that there were so many stories behind his goal...
So he asked tentatively: "Did you lie to me?"
Hu Lai snorted: "Do I need to lie to you? I help you out of team spirit, believe it or not!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran back to his own half.
Luo Kai looked at his back, frowning slightly, lost in thought.

When the Chinese team players celebrated Rokai's goal wildly, Ukraine's captain Vitaly Kotien was asking the central defender Sergey: "Roman, why did you hesitate just now and didn't rush to block it at the first time?" His shot?”
Sergey had a constipated expression on his face and opened his mouth to argue, but didn't know what to say.
Captain Ketian was keenly aware of his strangeness, so he frowned and asked, "What are you doing? Is there anything you can't say?"
"This...Vitaly, I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you..."
"Just say it." Ketian, who lost the ball, was in a bad mood and his tone was also bad.
Sergey had no choice but to continue to wear a constipated expression and told Captain Curtien everything he had just encountered in defense.
After listening, Curtin also had a constipated expression on his face: "Are you saying that because Hu shouted 'pass the ball to me' in Ukrainian, you were deceived into not being able to block the shot immediately? ”
Sergey nodded: "Andre also heard it at that time, you can also ask him..."
He pointed at his center back partner Andrei Arzhanov and said, Arzhanov nodded to Curtin: "Yes, Vitali, I heard it too. Very standard Ukrainian , the standard is just like what I heard in the news..."
Ketian turned his attention to Hu Lai, who had already run away. Everyone knows that Hu Lai is now the most threatening player of the Chinese team, so they made very targeted defensive arrangements before the game. It is indeed difficult for Hu Lai to get a chance under their defense.
But neither Curtin nor the Ukrainian head coach Viktor Yarmolenko on the sidelines would have imagined that those carefully arranged targeted tactics would eventually be ruined by Hulay's language talent - —He did not score a goal, but he indirectly helped the Chinese team score a goal at the most critical moment...
This goal also wiped out Ukraine's lead.
Before this game, Curtien asked his club teammate Payet on the phone, asking him how he felt playing against the Chinese team and what the strength of this opponent was.
Payet told him in an understatement that the Chinese team was not very strong. Their offense did not pose any threat to the French team's goal, and their defense was completely unable to stop them.
At the end, he half-jokingly said to Curtien: "Vitaly, the Chinese team's defense is like a piece of tissue paper. I scored two goals, you have to score one no matter what, right?"
Courtien knew it was Payet's joke. The Frenchman was a funny man and often told such jokes. So he didn't take Paye's words seriously and insisted on comparing the number of goals scored with the opponent.
But he does still feel that since the French team defeated the Chinese team, Ukraine should also win.
Although the Chinese team entered the World Cup, Ukraine did not. But is the difficulty of the Asian qualifiers comparable to that of the European qualifiers?
If it were us Ukraine going to Asia, we would definitely not miss every World Cup finals!
※※※
The game restarted, and the Ukrainian team, which had equalized the score, took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the Chinese team's penalty area.
Ukrainian fans in the stands are also cheering for their national team.
The Ukrainian players took advantage of their physical strength and height to play rough, simple and direct.
However, this kind of simple and direct method with low technical content can often achieve good results.
The midfielder basically doesn't pass the ball back and forth, but passes quickly and sends the football directly to the frontcourt. Then the specific offense is handed over to Curtien. He can choose to shoot by himself to end the offense. He can also pass the ball to teammates in better positions to act as an offensive organizer.
Their first goal was scored in this way. After Curtien attracted the Chinese team's defensive players, he suddenly distributed the football and allowed his teammates to score.
Now that the Chinese team has strengthened their defense against other Ukrainian players besides Curtin, Curtin decided to do it himself.
As the main striker of Paris Eger, Curtien's personal ability is very outstanding, and he can become a golden partner with Payet. It can even be said that he was wasted in Ukraine...
Ukraine's overall strength is not worthy of Curtin.
In the past, for the sake of teamwork, Ketian had always stopped playing, positioning his role on the court as being a wedding dress for others. Now he decided to let go, because if we can't win the Chinese team at home, it would be irresponsible to the team!
