v1 Chapter 263: We must qualify as a group

Chapter 1936 We Must Qualify From The Group

Because of Hu Lai's "playing tricks", after the loss to Italy, the cloud that was still hanging over the team was dispelled, and finally there was sunshine to cast in.

Regardless of the reason for the loss, if the emotions are always immersed in pain, frustration and regret and cannot get out, then the next game will most likely be lost.

Therefore, after losing, regulating the emotions of the players is also a very important task.

And Dillon and his coaching staff are very lucky that there is Hou Lai in this team, so they can adjust their emotions by themselves.

With someone like Hu Lai around, no matter how depressed the mood in the team is, he must have a way to divert everyone's attention or cheer them up.

It's just that ordinary people can't learn from his approach—as long as you have a little shame, this thing can't be done.

From the following training, it can be seen that the effect is quite good.

Some players joked with Hu Lai, clasped their fists at him and said, "Me too!"

Then it made everyone laugh.

But not everyone's dark clouds can be dispelled.

When everyone is doing recovery training, Luo Kai is also there.

It's just that he was not with his teammates, but was led by a physical coach for individual recovery training.

His training content and intensity are different from other teammates.

Because he was injured in the match against Italy yesterday, he needs a specially targeted training session.

After restorative training, he also goes to the physical therapy room and receives massage therapy.

※※※

Luo Kai is lying on the physical therapy bed, receiving massage treatment from Master Feng.

He asked: "Master Feng, can I still catch up with the third group match?"

Master Feng didn't stop, and said: "I suggest you don't think so much, just concentrate on self-cultivation and cooperate with the treatment."

"So I'm sure I won't be able to catch up?" Luo Kai heard the implication from Master Feng's answer.

"I don't know if you can catch up. It's up to the head coach to decide whether to play or not. I'm just a massager." Master Feng was busy.

Luo Kai already knew his fate. He lay on the physiotherapy bed without speaking, and just put his arms on his forehead.

Feeling Luo Kai's depression, Master Feng still comforted him: "Fortunately, you were replaced early in the game. If you delay any longer, you will be reimbursed for the entire World Cup."

Hearing what Master Feng said, Luo Kai lowered his arms again: "So I still have hope?"

"If the Chinese team can qualify from the group stage, it is still possible."

Luo Kai said nothing.

Because Nigeria is not easy to play.

This team is ranked higher than the Chinese team, and at the same time they drew with Italy in the first round of the group stage.

Although they lost to Spain in the second round...but it was precisely because of the loss to Spain that they were even more dangerous.

Nigeria, which has only one point, must beat the Chinese team in the final round of the group stage to have a chance to advance to the top 16.

When such a team is doing their best, it is conceivable how difficult it is to beat them.

Luo Kai will not think that the Chinese team defeated Spain 3:0 in the first game, and Spain defeated Nigeria 3:1, so he thinks that the Chinese team can beat Nigeria 6:1... This is only for amateur fake fans idea.

He's a professional player, he can't think like that.

What he thinks more about is how his absence will affect the team.

And he wanted to help the team qualify, but he could only sit on the sidelines as a spectator.

Thinking of the end, he sighed.

Hearing Luo Kai sigh, Master Feng comforted him again: "Don't worry, they will work hard to qualify for you."

Luo Kai smiled bitterly.

He didn't think he was that popular in the team.

Of course the teammates will work hard to qualify, but not necessarily for him...

While in physical therapy, the door was pushed open.

Luo Kai was a little surprised, thinking it was his teammates coming, but when he turned around, he saw Qin Lin.

He was a little disappointed, but still greeted him: "Director Qin..."

Qin Lin nodded, patted him on the shoulder and said, "We've discussed it, and we won't sign you up for the next game."

Hearing what Qin Lin said, Master Feng glanced at him—direct enough.

He thought that Qin Lin would talk about it first, and then explain the purpose of his visit.

Unexpectedly, Qin Lin went straight to the point.

Luo Kai, who was already mentally prepared, was silent for two seconds, and then whispered: "I see..."

"Take a good rest. Whether your injury is serious or not, it doesn't mean that you won't be able to play in the next game. It's just to be on the safe side. Dillon hopes you can rest more. Rest well now, in order to take over the next game." I think you don’t want to play games with an injured leg all the time, do you?”

Luo Kai nodded, and did not express dissatisfaction or objection.

Qin Lin didn't communicate with him too much. He stretched out his hand and squeezed his shoulder, then turned around and backed out of the physiotherapy room.

From then on until the end of the massage treatment, Luo Kai lay quietly on the massage table without speaking.

"Old Wang, Hu Lai, it's time to eat!" Chen Xingyi knocked on the door vigorously and shouted loudly at the same time.

Hu Lai was the only one who opened the door for him. Chen Xingyi was surprised and looked into the toilet: "Where is Lao Wang? Did you go to the toilet?"

"No, he's out."

"Going out? What did you go for?" Zhang Qinghuan, who came with Chen Xingyi, frowned and asked suspiciously.

"I went to find Luo Kai." Hu Lai replied.

"Well…"

This is a reason that neither Chen Xingyi nor Zhang Qinghuan thought of.

On the contrary, Xia Xiaoyu was not very surprised: "Brother Wang went to care about Luo Kai's injury, right?"

"Ah, yes, he is the captain." Zhang Qinghuan was stunned.

As the captain, Wang Guangwei is much busier than before. I can no longer hang out with a few good friends all day like I used to, and it's okay to play foolishly.

He has to care about all the players on the team, understand their mentality, care about what they care about.

Clumsy as he is, he's still trying to learn how to be a national team captain - he's been captain of a club before, as well as a school captain.

But the captain of the national team and the captain he served before are almost two concepts.

Because of the club and the school team, we get along day and night and are very familiar with each other.

The national team is a gathering of brothers from all corners of the country. Everyone plays for different teams. Usually in the club, they are even sworn enemies and rivals. There are conflicts.

If there are conflicts in temporarily getting together to form the national team, it is certainly impossible to resolve them in a short period of time.

This requires the captain to unite everyone.

Those well-known captains of the national team in world football are not necessarily superstars with outstanding personal abilities, but they have very good personalities and can unite everyone into a whole. .

In terms of age, Wang Guangwei is still a little bit behind, but he has an advantage, that is, he can always consider issues from the perspective of everyone in the team.

No matter how good his relationship with Hu Lai and Brother Huan is, they won't favor that small team in everything.

It is precisely because Wang Guangwei acts upright and acts upright that he replaced Yao Huasheng and became the captain instead of letting the original deputy captain Mao Junzheng straighten up, so there was no dissent within the national team.

※※※

After Luo Kai finished the physical therapy massage and came out, he saw Wang Guangwei outside Master Feng's room.

He froze for a moment, then asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Wang Guangwei shook his head, instead of answering the question, he asked instead: "How do you feel?"

"It's okay..." Luo Kai didn't answer directly, but prevaricated.

So Wang Guangwei asked again: "Can you catch up with the third game?"

There was an obvious pause on Luo Kai's expression. After hesitating for a while, he shook his head: "I don't know, it's up to the coaching staff to decide."

He didn't tell Wang Guangwei about Qin Lin's visit to him just now.

This may be because he still has some fluke fantasies in his heart, thinking that if his injury recovery speed exceeds expectations in the next two days, maybe the head coach Dillon can change his mind and put himself back on the starting list.

No matter how bad it is...you can add yourself to the substitute lineup, and then judge whether you have the possibility of coming off the bench based on the game form on the field.

Of course, another reason was that Luo Kai felt that it was somewhat embarrassing for him not to be able to play in the third group match. He doesn't want to show his weak side in front of others.

Wang Guangwei didn't continue to ask, he nodded: "Okay. Take care of your injuries and don't worry about the rest. Let's go eat now?"

Luo Kai knew that Wang Guangwei came to care about him, so he thanked him anyway: "Thank you, Team Wang."

"Tsk..." Wang Guangwei couldn't help but clicked his tongue when he heard this address.

Luo Kai thought he had made a mistake, and asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

Wang Guangwei quickly waved his hands: "It's okay, it's okay... I have some PTSD."

"PTSD?" Luo Kai didn't quite understand.

"It's all that **** Hu Lai's fault. Every time he wants to blame me, he calls me 'Team Wang', so now I have a subconscious reaction when I hear 'Team Wang'... Ha, sorry."

"Hu Lai..." Luo Kai immediately understood, he nodded and said, "Next time he gets mad at you, you can call him 'King Yue'."

"King Yue?" Wang Guangwei was stunned this time.

"The king of Yue is cheap enough."

Wang Guangwei was stunned for a moment, then he burst out laughing, and at the same time he gave Luo Kai a thumbs up.

Luo Kai also laughed.

Wang Guangwei finished laughing first, and then he said to Luo Kai with a smile on his face:

"Don't worry, we will definitely reach the knockout round. We will wait for you on the court."

Luo Kai's mouth, which was grinning because of laughing, gradually closed and squeezed tightly.

※※※

Lying on the bed at night, Wang Guangwei suddenly said to Hu Lai, "Luo Kai probably won't be able to make it to the last group match."

Hu Lai, who was still asleep, asked, "Did he tell you?"

"No. He won't say it. I guessed it. When I went to find him for dinner, he came out of Master Feng's room, not in a very high mood. If he recovered from his injury, he could be the one." Performance?"

"Hey, Team Wang has turned into a famous detective!"

"day…"

Hu Lai was still excited, he just turned over and sat up from the bed, posed that classic pose, pointed to Wang Guangwei and said, "Myocardium time, wow, steal time in the dark!"

Wang Guangwei was dumbfounded by Hu Lai, and then he remembered the idea that Luo Kai gave him today.

So he called out: "King Yue!"

Hu Lai didn't react: "What fish king?"

"King Yue, King Yue. From now on, if you call me Team Wang, I will call you King Yue, Hu Lai."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because the King of Yue is cheap enough!"

"I... Fuck?" Hu Lai was stunned for a moment before recovering, "You have to deduct money for the homonym, Dui Wang!"

"Deduct! Deduct whatever you want! I will use one month's salary to buy you the qualification to call you the 'King of Yue'!"

"Hey, you...you have to unite people, Team Wang!"

"Are you a human, King Yue? You are not a human, you are a dog!"

"How about it, Team Wang, you give me your monthly salary, and I'll let you call me whatever you want! Not only King Yue, but you can also call me 'Xiang Zhuang'!"

"Xiang Zhuang?"

"Xiang Zhuang Sword Dance, Team Wang! Isn't it? Our top students in Jiaxiang High School haven't even heard of this allusion? Isn't it, isn't it, Team Wang?"

"Hu Lai, what the hell..." Wang Guangwei was forced to say even Brother Huan's catchphrase.

Hu Lai lay on his bed and laughed.

Amidst the laughter, Wang Guangwei sighed: "Forget it, I don't know as much as you..."

Hu Lai stopped laughing, but he was still laughing, proud of himself that he had no lower limit: "Old Wang, you can't do it. You have the burden of captain, but I don't. I am invincible!"

"Yes yes yes, people are shameless and invincible."

"hey-hey!"

Hearing his smirk, Wang Guangwei shook his head on the bed and fell into silence for a while.

Hu Lai was so silent that he thought Wang Guangwei was pretending to be asleep, and then he suddenly said: "Luo Kai may have to wait until the knockout round to recover...we must qualify for the group stage."

Hu Lai responded, "Yes."

PS, I burned to 39.6 last night, and I can feel my body is like a piece of red-hot carbon~lightnovelpub.net~ I woke up in the middle of the night and took an ibuprofen, sweating, and measured it in the morning 37.1.

By the time of lunch, it had reached 38.4 again.

Burn back to 38.9 in the afternoon.

My muscles are sore and I have no strength.

But I still have to take care of the big one and the young one at home—the little one is fine, it’s already done, the main thing is to cook for him...

But my wife is more serious. She has had a sore throat for six days and cannot eat or drink water.

I couldn't stand it yesterday, so I went to hang the water.

I really don't have the energy to type.

I thought about the plot of the game in the future, and there is no point in changing a chapter a day.

So I simply stopped writing for a few days, and only tried to write after my family and I were in a better state.

I hope everyone understands.

How many days it will last, I don't know. When I can update, I will send a single chapter to inform you.
