Chapter 154 Tragedy
When Darren Hunter was replaced, the Chinese fans in the stands kept booing him and booing him off.
The original image of the British Emperor star in the hearts of Chinese fans is still acceptable.
After all, there was no injustice or enmity before.
Just because of his previous words of "settling accounts", he became the "public enemy" of Chinese fans.
Forget it, if he scores a goal in this game, it will actually stop a lot of people.
But he didn't score a single goal...
This performance coupled with his pre-game rants is as ironic as it gets.
As for Reservoir Dogs, if we don’t fight now, when will we wait?
As a CCTV commentator, He Feng has some very strict rules. Even if he feels very happy now, he cannot show it.
However, as a high-level commentator, he also knows what "yin and yang" is:
"Darren Hunter was substituted! His performance in today's game was indeed not good... He completed a hat-trick in the last game, but today he was completely restricted by Wang Guangwei and did not even get a decent shooting opportunity. Several times... In the evaluation system of the British media, Darren Hunter is a hexagonal comprehensive center. If you only look at today's game, he is indeed comprehensive, but just mediocre in all aspects!"
Hearing He Feng say that Darren Hunter was "all-around mediocre," Li Qingqing smiled slightly, and then continued: "Actually, judging from his own quality, Hunter does have the potential to be an all-around forward, but he is still too immature now. He is still Needs to grow.”
He Feng immediately understood what Li Qingqing meant and immediately nodded in agreement: "I hope today's game can make him grow!"
The two CCTV commentators still had to beat around the bush, but Shen Lang, the commentator of the online live broadcast, was not so scrupulous and particular. He shouted excitedly in the live broadcast room:
"Didn't Darren Hunter say before the game that he wanted to settle accounts with the Chinese team? Haha, you don't know math and you still pretend to be an accountant. Now let's see who settles whose accounts!"

England's performance was actually better after replacing Darren Hunt.
Because there is one less person holding back.
Substitute Jay Adams is a midfielder.
After he came on, he formed a defensive double with Jimmy Stokes, pushing Peter Williams up and closer to the goal.
At the same time, the original two full midfielders become wingers.
England changed to 433 and attacked more fiercely.
England, who had no hope of promotion, performed much better than before, and they put aside their baggage.
Anyway, losing five goals is a loss, losing six goals is also a loss.
So why care about conceding the ball?
Attack with all your strength and strive for goals!
That's what England should do now.
※※※
William Sutton took a shot in the penalty area of the Chinese team. The ball was blocked by goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan, but it did not completely fly out of the baseline.
There was chaos in front of the door!
In the chaos, Qin Qi rescued the football player.
Xie Lan in the stands let out a sigh of relief.
Seeing how nervous she looked, Hu Lixin teased her half-jokingly: "Don't worry, even if England scores a goal, the Chinese team will still go to the semi-finals."
As a result, Xie Lan rolled her eyes at her husband: "Who said this? How can I still know that the victory is determined?"
"Then why are you nervous?"
"Winning is a win, but it also depends on how you win. If England scores a goal, then the game is not a good win!"
"Hey, even if they score one goal, it's still a big win..."
"That's different. It's obvious that England just want to score goals now, so they can't let them get what they want! They can't let them score a single goal! Otherwise, they will kick their noses in the face!"
Li Ziqiang said next to him: "Sister Xie is right. If it is an ordinary game, even if the Chinese team wins the game 5:1, 5:2, or even 5:3, it will be considered a good result. But the opponent is England. If If they score a goal, many fans will definitely be dissatisfied."
Hearing what Lao Li said, Hu Lixin was thoughtful.
Xie Lan, who received support, showed a proud expression.

England's offensive picked up, and the England fans in the stands came to life.
They kept cheering for their team with songs, hoping they would score goals.
Facing England's aggressive offensive, the Chinese team began to make substitutions one after another.
First, Luo Kai was replaced with Xue Ming.
Then Shi Wanqing replaced Xia Xiaoyu.
Shi Wanqing is a defensive midfielder who plays for French Ligue 1 team Almoric and is good at defense.
Replacing Xia Xiaoyu, the midfield organizer, with him shows that Qin Lin believes that the score of 5:0 is enough. The team's main task is to defend and maintain the five-goal lead.
Just like Li Ziqiang's analysis, Qin Lin also believes that if England scores a goal in the game, the victory will not be perfect.
Which one does he choose between 5:0 and 6:1?
Obviously choose the former.
It doesn't matter how many goals you score, what matters is that England doesn't score.
Because "shaving your head" is really cool.
So his next adjustments are basically related to defense.
Zhou Zijing was also replaced by central defender Cai Shuyi.
The Chinese team's formation became 541.
Hu Lai is still at the front.
The reason why Hu Lai was not replaced is of course that on the one hand Hu Lai has no problem with his physical condition, and on the other hand it is also for the purpose of strengthening defense - Hu Lai staying on the court is a huge threat to England and can contain some of England's teams. troops.
But England no longer cares much about whether they will continue to concede goals.
They just want to score goals.
It doesn't matter if we lose the ball.
During this period, the Chinese team's defensive pressure was very high.
Although they were five goals ahead, many Chinese fans felt that they might be defeated by England...
England took the ball from the wing and William Sutton fought for the top of the goal.
The football was pushed out by Qin Qi.
But the landing point outside the penalty area was controlled by England.
Jimmy Stokes passes the football laterally.
Jay Adams, who had just come on the field not long after, stepped in from behind and shot without stopping the ball!
"England... long shot!!"
The football rushed into the penalty area against the turf.
Lin Zhiyuan fell to the ground and threw himself on his side.
But Cai Shuyi in the penalty area stretched out his kick, trying to clear the ball out.
As a result, the football hit Cai Shuyi's shoe, rebounded and spun to the other side!
Lin Zhiyuan had fallen to the ground and was completely unable to fight back. He could only watch the football fly towards the back of the goal...
Then he drew an arc around the goalpost and flew out of the baseline!
"Whew!" The Chinese fans in the stands let out a long sigh, frightened by Cai Shuyi's kick just now.
Cai Shuyi himself was frightened. He froze in place, still stretching his feet to make a clearance, and stared in the direction of the goal with his eyes wide open.
Team leader Wang Guangwei came up and slapped him hard on the back, which seemed to bring his soul back.
"Well done, Xiao Cai!" Wang Guangwei praised him loudly, "This kick is crucial!"
Cai Shuyi was still a little confused and wanted to explain that he almost scored an own goal just now...
However, Wang Guangwei didn't intend to listen to his explanation. After praising him, he turned and left, pointed at his teammates and shouted loudly for them to prepare for corner kick defense.
Cai Shuyi put away his frightened mood just now and stopped thinking about the fact that he almost scored an own goal.
He patted his face with his hand to clear his mind and continued to focus on the game.
※※※
"England's offensive is so fierce... As expected, those who wear shoes are afraid of going barefoot. Now we are actually at a disadvantage..."
"I hope I can hold on. Although letting them score one won't affect the result, it will still make me unhappy!"
Yan Yan heard the discussion of his companions and snorted coldly: "Let them score one? With England's current posture of focusing on the head rather than the back, they might even lose the ball!"
On the field, the Chinese team defended another round of England's attack.
Goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan did not use a long pass to take the goal kick and kicked the football directly into the frontcourt. Instead, he passed the football to the left back Peng Weijun on the side, intending to stabilize the rhythm through passing and controlling.
However, facing the Chinese team's plan, England chose to press high.
Under England's high pressure, it became very difficult for the Chinese team to move the ball forward.
In the end, Ou Yangjin could only kick the football towards the frontcourt with one big kick.
Seeing this scene, head coach Qin Lin on the sidelines shook his head, then turned around and said to assistant coach Ding Gaoyi: "Call Zhang Qinghuan, Lao Ding, and let him come out and control it."
Ding Gaoyi nodded and stood up, ready to find Zhang Qinghuan.
As a result, at this moment, huge cheers suddenly broke out in the stands.
Ding Gaoyi, who was supposed to go to the bench, also stopped at the same time and looked past Qin Lin to the court.
Qin Lin realized that there must be a new situation behind him, and immediately turned around without caring about the substitution.
He saw Hulay appearing behind the England defense, rushing towards the top of the penalty arc, and the football was close at hand!
England goalkeeper Shim Dickinson hurriedly struck, but then he slowed down again. Because he realized that Hu Lai would control the ball before him, and if he continued to rush forward, he would rush outside the penalty area and would not be able to touch the ball with his hands, which would be a huge disadvantage for him.
So he chose to slow down and stay in the penalty area.
Qin Lin's eyes widened, and a thought flashed through his mind:
Offside? !
Ding Gaoyi seemed to know what Qin Lin was worried about, and said loudly in a very fast and simple way: "Xue Ming's pass! Don't be offside!"
He Feng shouted excitedly in the commentary box: "Beautiful counter-offside move! Hu Lai is not offside! He has a chance to score a single goal!!"
The entire Bailong Lake Stadium burst into cheers - even though Hu Lai hadn't taken a shot yet, the Chinese fans were already cheering for the goal.
Yan Yan excitedly grabbed his companions and shouted loudly: "What did I say? What did I say?!"
Amidst the cheers, Hu Lai stretched out his feet to stop the football flying in the air firmly at his feet.
Then facing Dickinson, who was mid-attack but didn't dare to continue attacking, he swung his leg and shot!
Dickinson, who was unable to completely block the angle, made a diving save. He judged the right direction, but still did not touch the ball.
The football was rubbed in an arc by the inside of Hu Lai's right foot, bypassing the goalkeeper Dickinson who fell to the ground and flew sideways, and then easily flew into the goal behind him!
"Ahhhhh!"
Sanchez, the Spanish commentator in the commentary box, raised his arms and screamed.
"!!! Oh my god! Tragedy! Absolutely a tragedy!!"
"We are witnessing history! World Cup history! This is a quarter-final with the largest margin of victory in the history of the World Cup! At the same time, Hu is also the first player in the history of the World Cup to score four goals in the knockout stage!"
"The humiliation of England by the Chinese continues! Hu! This goal came entirely from the mistakes of the English players themselves! They can't blame anyone! Facing a top striker like Hu, they were absent-minded when heading the ball to clear the ball! They deserve it! !”
"The game is almost ninety minutes old and the nightmare for the English continues!"
