Fox in the Penalty Area

For Chinese football, 2026 is really a year worthy of long-term commemoration.

In this year, Hu Lai led the Premier League civilian team Leeds City to historically won the Premier League championship, and Hu Lai himself became the top scorer of the Premier League. This is the first time a Chinese player won the top scorer of the Premier League.

In the summer of this year, the Chinese national team also participated in the World Cup finals for the first time in history, and achieved an unbeaten group match, three draws and three points, the only good result of the World Cup unbeaten. Although not able to qualify from the group in the end, few people really expect the Chinese team to participate in the World Cup finals for the first time to reach the knockout stage. However, the performance of the national football team in the group stage, especially the performance against the Brazil team, made them all see hope and began to look forward to the Iberia World Cup four years later.

Compared with the men's football participating in the World Cup, the influence and attention of the women's football are greatly affected, but Li Qingqing also helped the Paris Héger women's football team win the women's football league championship last season.

This is also her first league championship in her overseas career.

She scored 11 goals and fifteen assists in the women's football last season.

It is the chief contributor of the Paris-Higer women's football team to win the league championship.

From the transfer to this team in 2023, in three years, Li Qingqing finally realized her talent and ability. This is her best season in Paris Higer.

She not only won the best player of the women's football league last season, but also was selected as a five-man shortlist for the best female football player in Europe last season.

Is the "best female football player", but not the "best young female football player."

Women's football does not have an award for the best young player, it is directly the best player.

It can be said that the 22-year-old Li Qingqing is one of the five best players in the entire European women's football.

At the same time, Hu Lai is almost certain that he will win the European young player award last season.

Both men's and women's football are blooming. For Chinese football, this is no less than "double happiness."

For this reason, CCTV specially planned a special report and sent a film crew to Paris, France to film and report the award ceremony.

Regardless of whether Hu Lai and Li Qingqing can win the prize, this is the highlight of Chinese football.

When the program team chose the final report angle and shooting plan, they did not go to the UK to shoot from Hu Lai. Instead, they went straight to Paris, France, and filmed this European football festival with Li Qingqing as the protagonist.

On the one hand, because there are too many various concerns and reports about Hu Lai in the market, it is not uncommon and lacks freshness.

On the other hand, the program team also wants to help the women's football team to gain some popularity and earn more attention.

Although men's football is currently developing well, women's football, as China's traditional advantage, deserves more attention.

It's just that women's football is inherently weak in terms of attention and commercialization.

Even if there is a goddess-level Li Qingqing, it is still difficult to compare with men's football.

This time is a good opportunity to take a look at the popularity and popularity of men's football.

So the film crew approached Li Qingqing and made a fuss around her.

Li Qingqing is not the kind of high-profile person who likes to show his face in front of the camera, but she never refuses all activities that can promote women's football. Because she also hopes that China's women's football will get better and better.

Especially after seeing that so many Chinese men's football players have come out, she also hopes that more female football players can go abroad like male football players.

Therefore, she is obliged to make a small contribution to the development of Chinese women's football.

In fact, with the further deepening of campus football reform in recent years, the country has already referenced the successful experience of the men’s campus football league and is preparing for a nationwide unified women’s football middle school student league. It is estimated that it will land next year. But both in scale and influence, they are far inferior to the mature men's middle school football tournament.

Men's football has a club echelon system, which can cultivate talents. The talent source of women's football is more from campus football, so the women's football part of campus football should be better. Only in this way can it provide a steady stream of talents for the Chinese women's football team.

In addition, doing a good job of campus women's football also allows girls who want to play football but are worried that they will not be able to play and will delay their studies, or the parents of girls will dispel this worry. Make them more willing to participate in the sport of football.

In addition, the Football Association is still planning to merge the Women's Football Super League and the Chinese Super League, and hand them over to the Super League to manage and operate. Rather than as before, the Chinese Super League is only responsible for the men's football Super League, the women's football Super League is called "Chinese Super League", but in fact it is still under the management of the Football Association. In a sense, it is not really a professional league.

Of course, the previous way of letting the Football Association manage it also has its reasons and causes-when the Women's Football Super League just started, there was a lack of market attention, and basically no one looked at it. Naturally, it could not attract corporate sponsorship and could not carry out supporting business. Development. If it is fully introduced to the market, I am afraid that it will be dead in less than two seasons.

And now with the deepening reform of Chinese football, coupled with the change of people's minds, women's football has appeared in the "god ip" like Li Qingqing, and everyone has accumulated a lot of experience in the commercial operation of the women's football league. Today's Women's Football Super League, both in attendance and commercial value, has been greatly improved from the original.

At the same time, because of the improvement of the overall performance of men's football and the improvement of the image of men's football, the commercial development of the Chinese Super League has been better than before. The commercial income of the Chinese Super League has increased year by year, and more funds are available to support the Women's Super League-before There are always people who like to use women's football to mock men's football and promote women's football and men's football as either-or-negative. They do not realize that men's and women's footballs are interdependent. In many cases, women's football is even supported by men's football. If you talk about disbanding men's football, people who are vigorously developing women's football might not think that if men's football is really disbanded, then it will be women's football that die immediately...

At the moment when all the conditions are ripe, the Football Association considers handing over the Women's Football Super League to the Chinese Super League for management.

The focus of the Football Association's work on women's football is shifted to echelon talent training and the popularization and promotion of campus women's football games.

After the men's football has achieved results through reforms, the Football Association also hopes that women's football can regain its glory-to be honest, although the overall level of women's football is higher than that of men's football, judging from their own historical results, it is actually a step backward.

Men's football has made great progress, and women's football should return to their original historical position. This can be regarded as an improvement in Chinese football.

After all, Chinese football includes men's and women's football, not just men's football.

As long as it is conducive to the development and progress of women's football, Li Qingqing does not refuse.

She promised very happy for this filming, and at the same time she has basically decided to serve as the image promotion ambassador for the new Women's Super League. Not only that, if a unified national women's football campus competition is established, she will also serve as the image spokesperson for this competition.

"Qingqing, you didn't notify Hu Lai in advance?"

Wang Shanshan confirmed to Li Qingqing.

"No." Li Qingqing shook his head and replied.

"That's good." Wang Shanshan smiled, "I am looking forward to his expression after seeing you at the airport for a while."

"I'm looking forward to it too." Li Qingqing laughed.

During the filming of this program, the program team asked Li Qingqing to pick up Hu Lai at the airport. After all, she is a "landlord" in Paris and her relationship with Hu Lai is so good. Hu Lai should come to Paris anyway. Do your best as a landlord, right?

Li Qingqing agreed.

For the effect of the program, the program team expressed the hope that this news will be kept strictly confidential to Hu Lai and surprise him when he arrives at the airport.

Li Qingqing also agreed.

Now they are sitting in the car going to the airport.

"When we arrive at the airport, we will first intercept Hu Lai as a media reporter, and then interview him. Then you will show up again..."

In the car, Wang Shanshan and Li Qingqing began to discuss the details.

The two women got together and discussed enthusiastically how to surprise Hu Lai.

Xiao Zhang, the cameraman sitting in the co-pilot, looked back and saw this scene, and suddenly came up with a somewhat absurd idea-being targeted by two beauties, I don't know if I should sympathize or envy...

It didn’t take long to fly from Leeds’s airport to Paris. Soon the Leeds City Club and his party went up and down from the plane, and then via the shuttle bus to the terminal.

After taking their luggage at the luggage carousel, they walked to the exit together.

There, they will be welcomed by some media reporters and then be interviewed.

The interview questions are similar, and Hu Lai will become the focus of all the media.

After all, there are rumors that he will win the final European young player award.

The official did not admit it, but everyone analyzed the ten candidates one by one and listed the performance data of these players last season.

Which one can compare to Hu Lai’s 32 Premier League goals, a Premier League champion, Premier League Golden Boots, Premier League best player, and five World Cup goals and World Cup Golden Boots?

Even those young players performed equally well, and they are all outstanding among their peers.

But in the face of Hu Lai's performance that is completely beyond his age, all of them are not enough to look at.

If the 22-year-old Premier League’s top scorer and World Cup Golden Boot can’t even win the award for the best young player in Europe, the fairness of this award should be questioned...

Some media even stated that Hulai’s performance should not have come to compete for the best young player award. He should compete for the best European player award, which is the "Golden Globe Award."

His results are placed in the group of young players, it is really...something about dimensionality reduction.

Sure enough, when they went out, they saw about 20 or 30 media reporters obviously waiting for them.

No, it's exactly waiting for Hu Lai.

Whether it is the head coach Clark or Pete Williams, there are only two or three reporters in front of him.

Hu Lai was surrounded by reporters, microphones, recorders, and mobile phones stretched out towards him.

"Hu, it is rumored that you have already won this year's European Young Player Award...What do you think about winning the award?"

"Won a prize? No, I didn't receive any news that I won a prize. I am here as one of the ten candidates... so I don't have any opinion."

"Hu. Ten of the best young players in the past twenty-five years have won the European Ballon d'Or. Do you think it is possible to win the European Ballon d'Or in the future?"

"Oh, I said, I'm not sure about winning, so don't count me in..."

Faced with the reporters' questions, Hu Lai answered the questions without leaking, and resolutely did not give those reporters a chance to lead themselves in the ditch.

Seeing Hu Lai being so careful, the reporters changed their questioning methods: "Then I would like to ask Hu, what do you think of being selected for the final ten candidates?"

"What do you think? I think I am very happy. This is a recognition of my performance in the past season. I am very happy to receive this recognition..."

Hu Lai answered the questions of the reporters and walked outside.

Just as he was about to walk out of the terminal, Wang Shanshan appeared in front of him: "Hello, Hu Lai, we are from CCTV..."

Hu Lai was a little surprised: "Why did you come to Paris?"

Wang Shanshan smiled and said, "Isn't this here to report on your award ceremony?"

Even in the face of old acquaintances, Hu Lai still answered without any leaks. He shook his head and corrected: "It's not an award ceremony."

Wang Shanshan didn't entangle him with this question: "Is that a nomination?"

"Well, nominated." Hu Lai nodded and continued to move forward.

"Since it is a nomination, I would like to ask you and Li Qingqing have been nominated this time. Do you have anything to say to her?"

Hearing Li Qingqing's name, Hu Lai held his hand to speak, but was interrupted by Wang Shanshan: "Can you speak to the camera, Hu Lai?"

Hu Lai glanced at the camera next to the reporter, then stopped and turned to face the camera lens.

"Congratulations, Li Qingqing. The best European player candidate is one rank higher than my young player candidate, awesome!" Hu Lai gave a thumbs up to the camera lens. "Come on, try to be selected as Miss World Football next time..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a person turning out from the camera, looking at him smiling like a flower: "Thanks to your good words, Hu Lai!"

Hu Lai was taken aback for a moment, as if he did not dare to recognize the same, but soon his eyes widened and he exclaimed: "Why are you here?!"

"As a landlord, welcome you!" Li Qingqing smiled happily.

When Li Qingqing turned out, Wang Shanshan took a step back. She saw this scene beside her and laughed happily.

She finally succeeded in seeing the scene she had been planning!

Damn!

It's so beautiful!

The encounter of boys and girls in a foreign country ~www.novelmt.com~ is a surprise and a warmth.

Her gaze wandered back and forth between the faces of the two people. First, she saw Li Qingqing's smile on her face, and then she saw Hu Lai's surprise and then laughed.

The two people just looked at each other and laughed.

They have been in the same frame many times, and this time they stand side by side on the big stage of European football.

Wang Shanshan deliberately created this "encounter" in order to declare to the whole of Europe:

Look! This is the golden boy and jade girl of our Chinese football!
