Chapter 958 Kyushu Wind and Thunder
When Kabangka scored the football into the Chinese team's goal, the entire commentary box, except for He Feng and Yan Kang, was filled with cheers and roars.
Commentators from other countries were impressed by Kabangka's beautiful world-wide goal.
Even if they are all neutral commentators, they cannot control their emotions in front of such a beautiful shot from Kabangka.
"Wonderful shot! Kabangka fully demonstrated his talent in this goal!"
"Ladies and gentlemen! This is Kendall Kabangka!"
"Ahhhhh! Kabangka - incomparable! Wonderful! Unbelievable! Unbelievable!!"
"Kabonka seemed to know that the Chinese team players would come from behind to steal the ball from him. This pull was simply the essence! The next shot was quite ordinary for a player of his level..."
Yan Kang turned around and looked at the excited colleagues beside him, although he knew that these people were just faithfully performing their duties as commentators and were blameless.
But he still has some pantothenic acid...
※※※
After scoring the goal, Kabangka did not turn around and rush to the corner flag area or go to the bench. He just turned around and waved his fist vigorously.
Then his teammates jumped up and hugged him.
Rafael Fonseca jumped up excitedly, holding his shoulders with both hands, jumping up and riding on him.
There is no such boring idea as "there is nothing to celebrate when scoring against the Chinese team". In the World Cup, every goal is worthy of celebration.
The Brazilian fans in the stands were also cheering wildly. Those fans dressed like parrots seemed to be participating in a Brazilian carnival.
The Chinese fans opposite them held their heads in their hands and remained speechless.
Although they know that the opponent is Brazil and it is normal to concede the ball, every Chinese fan still finds it hard to accept it.
How well we played before...
Lin Zhiyuan got up from the ground, turned back to the goal, picked up the football, and threw it to the midfield.
Captain Yao Huasheng clapped his hands hard and shouted to everyone: "It's okay, it's okay... Put down the burden, we have nothing to lose, let's fight them!"
I hope my teammates will not be frustrated by conceding the ball...
Of course, frustration is bound to be frustrating. Yao Huasheng just hopes to shorten the time that everyone is emotionally affected by losing the ball.
Just as he said.
The Chinese team has nothing to lose.
Even if they lose the game in the end, it is normal and no one will scold them - this is a rare and lenient treatment for Chinese football.
Then can they accept failure with peace of mind?
Of course not. This kind of tolerance can help the Chinese team put aside distracting thoughts and go all out to fight the Brazilian team, even if it loses more goals because of it, it doesn't matter.
The important thing is to fight!
Maybe... we can create a new world?
※※※
The Brazilian players quickly ended their celebrations and returned to their own half.
When passing the center circle, Kabangka glanced at Hulay. He was already standing in the center circle with a football under his feet, waiting for the kick-off.
Noticed that Kabangka was looking at him and even nodded.
This makes Kabangka a little confused - I didn't say hello to you!
There were times when Kabangka couldn't even understand what was going on in the person's head.
You are lagging behind now. Do you still have time to say hello to me?
Do you still want to chat with me?
Kabangka has heard many rumors about Hulay, the most famous of which may be his love of talking to opponents on the court.
This guy does have some language talent...
Kabangka and Hu Lai passed by each other without stopping, and had no intention of chatting with Hu Lai.
After the Brazilian players all returned to their respective positions, the referee blew the kick-off whistle.
Hu Lai kicked the football back, then turned around and rushed into the Brazilian half with Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai.
This is the third time the Chinese team has kicked off in this game, and it is also the second time the Chinese team has kicked off due to conceding the ball.
※※※
The Brazilian team scored its second goal in the 52nd minute of the game, only seven minutes into the second half. It can be said that the goal was scored just at the beginning.
For the Chinese team, losing the ball is certainly not a good thing, but there is still a lot of time left for them, so falling behind will not make people feel desperate.
He Feng in the commentary box widened his eyes and paid close attention to the game on the court.
After watching for a few minutes, he took a deep breath and said in the commentary: "The loss of the ball did not hit the Chinese team players as hard as we thought. The national football boys quickly returned to normal... Facing the aggressive Brazilian team, there was no was intimidated, but continued to deal with the Brazilian team on the court! ”
Indeed.
After conceding the ball, fans of the Chinese team were worried that the national football players would fall into chaos, make some voluntary mistakes, and then be beaten by the Brazilian team, possibly conceding another goal.
Falling behind 1:3, and considering the huge strength gap between the two teams, this game can be declared over in advance...
As a result, the Chinese team did not panic. They knew exactly what they should do.
It's still the same thing: build a fence in the backcourt, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
When handling the ball, he is very calm and concise, without any bells and whistles that are useless.
If you can hit the ball with one kick, you will never hesitate to control the football.
So from the game scene, it seems that the Chinese team is not at a disadvantage...
“Come on Team China!”
"Team China! Come on!!"
There was a uniform shout from the stands.
It was the voice of all the Chinese fans, and their cheers even overshadowed the carnival of the Brazilian fans.
Amid their cheers, the Chinese players were like mad dogs in their own half, running and blocking tirelessly.
※※※
When Dudu Carlos picked up the ball in the center circle, not far in front of him was Kabangka. But he couldn't pass the football.
Because there were only five meters between him and Kabangka, and there were three players from the Chinese team standing side by side, forming a wall.
Dudu was unsure of passing the football to Kabangka from among the three Chinese team players.
So he planned to control the ball more.
At this time, Zhang Qinghuan, who was among the three Chinese team players, came out and rushed towards Dudu, trying to steal his ball.
Dudu moved the football to his left and moved laterally.
Just when he passed the football, a person suddenly rushed up from the other side!
"Luo Kai!"
Dudu was caught off guard and ran into him head-on.
As the two collided, Luo Kai stretched out his foot and poked the football out from under his feet!
"Good shot!"
Dudu lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Kabangka pointed to his teammates on the ground and signaled to the referee that the Chinese team player had committed a foul.
But the referee didn't say anything and just followed the Chinese players who were pressing forward and ran up!
"No foul! Luo Kai intercepted the ball beautifully! The Chinese team counterattacked!"
Xia Xiaoyu, who was in the "human wall" before, took a step forward and controlled the ball that was poked by Luo Kai.
Hu Lai, who had just returned to the center line, resolutely turned around and rushed forward when Luo Kai sneaked into Dudu.
Now he looked back and saw that the football had been taken by Xia Xiaoyu, and he accelerated and ran straight from the center to the penalty area!
At the same time, Luo Kai, who had intercepted the ball, jumped up and bypassed the fallen Dudu, and also went straight into the frontcourt.
There was also Chen Xingyi, who quickly moved diagonally to the wing to open up the Brazilian team's defense.
Zhang Qinghuan followed Chen Xingyi and moved towards the left rib together.
The determined forward movement of several of them caused some hesitation among the Brazilian team's defenders to cooperate.
Right back Kewell went to guard Chen Xingyi, while center back Jose Amorim came up to block Zhang Qinghuan.
Behind him, there was a gap of about ten meters between him and another central defender, Luis Payson...
And Hu Lai was inserting himself into that gap!
Xia Xiaoyu was originally dribbling the ball diagonally to the left. After looking up and observing this situation, he immediately took off and sent the football to the center!
The football flew forward quickly against the turf and accurately passed to Hu Lai in the air!
"Hu Lai! Good shot! Opportunity!"
When Hulay received the ball, he had already run to the area in front of the top of the penalty arc of the Brazilian team's penalty area.
After he passed the football, he immediately used the outside instep of his right foot to gently push the ball to the outside...
At this moment, he got out of the way of the Brazilian center back Persson in the penalty arc!
The latter originally planned to tackle the ball directly, but he did not expect Hu Lai to call the ball very promptly - if he had called the ball later, he might have been stopped by Payson...
So he scooped it up! The person even lost his balance and fell to the ground!
After getting out of Payson's way, Hu Lai had already reached the penalty area line.
He did not continue to dribble the ball in. Amorim had already circled back from the other side and was running in front of him, trying to intercept him.
Brazil's left back Rafael Fonseca also dropped Roquet to defend Hulay.
Hu Lai seemed to know nothing about this. He just looked down at the football at his feet. After briefly adjusting his pace, he raised his right leg!
Shoot!
The football flew at an extremely low altitude, passing over the turf in the Brazilian team's penalty area at a low altitude, and quickly rushed towards the lower left corner of the goal!
Brazil goalkeeper Lemos fell to the ground and dived sideways!
He had stretched his body and stretched his arms as much as possible... but he was still unable to deal with Hu Lai's tricky shot!
When he was in the air, he looked back and saw the football falling to the ground on the goal line, and then ran forward... and plunged into the net!
He closed his eyes in pain...
But in the stands, there was already a huge...deafening cheer!
"Hu Lai——!!! Ahhhhhhh!!! Hu Lai!!! Ah——! The ball goes in!!! Hu Lai!!!" He Feng clenched his hands tightly into fists , trembling in his chest, as if he was accumulating strength, and then all the accumulated strength was used on this throat.
Beside him, Yan Kang stood up from his seat, raised his arms and shouted: "Beautiful--beautiful--!!! Hu Lai!! Beautiful!! Chinese team! Again! Evened the score!! Beautiful!! Mei Open! Twice! ”
He yelled and punched once, as if he was fighting the air.
At the same time, he also heard the shouts coming from the commentary box.
British TV commentator Matthew Cox: "Dudu lost the ball! The Chinese team counterattacked quickly... Hu Lai was in the middle, passed it to him... Good ball! Beautiful! Hu Lai!! Smart ball! He flashed In! Shot - what a tricky shot! This is what Hu Lai is good at! This is his way of scoring! He ran into the space and shot into the blind corner! Lemos has played against him in the Premier League, but he still failed to block this ball! Hu Lai’s shot was basically a theoretical blind spot!”
French commentator: "BUUUUUUUUUUUUUT!!! BUT!! BUT!!! Hulay!!! The Chinese team broke through the Brazilian team's defense with one counterattack! Hulay's shot from the penalty area fully demonstrated his Shooting skills! This is the shooting ability of the Premier League Golden Boot!” (Note 1)
Al Jazeera Qatar commentator: "Ah - Hu Lai! Hu Lai! Hu Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai -!! Hu - Lai!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOL!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! GOOOOOL! GOL! GOL! GOL! ! GOL! ! GOLGOLGOLGOLGOLGOL! Hu Lai scored twice in this World Cup!
Spanish commentator: "... Audience friends, you may not know that in China, Hu Lai is the hero of all Chinese people! This kind of hero is so big that you can't imagine... the common hero of 1.5 billion people! If If you don't believe what I say, then please Look at this goal, look at his performance on the court! Facing the powerful Brazilian team, the Chinese team equalized the score twice in a row! And both goals were scored by Hu Lai! Revered by 1.5 billion people! He is a Chinese hero!”
Brazilian TV commentator: "Dudou picked up the ball in the midfield... lost the ball! He didn't notice his side... The Chinese team is now counterattacking... Be careful! Be careful! Ah——!"
After the scream, everything stopped abruptly.
On the court, after seeing the goal, Hu Lai turned around, opened his arms and ran towards the corner flag area.
His red jersey was fluttering in the wind, and he had a ferocious smile on his face.
Behind him... followed a group of excited Chinese team players.
Hu Lai, who ran to the corner flag area, jumped up and did his signature celebration for the fourth time.
As soon as he landed, Zhang Qinghuan and Chen Xingyi imitated Hu Lai's iconic celebration moves, taking off and landing at the same time.
Then they laughed and rushed forward, hugging Hu Lai.
More teammates rushed up, jumped up, and jumped on them.
The stadium in Pasadena, Los Angeles, roared with joy.
On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Kyushu is shaking with wind and thunder, as if we are at peace with it from afar!
