Fox in the Penalty Area

The promotional MV for the national competition starring Hu Lai and Li Qingqing has caused a lot of repercussions in China, not only among high school students, but also among adults who have left school long ago. It has also caused widespread dissemination and discussion.

To use a catchphrase, it is "out of the circle".

In the MV, the persistence and hard work of teenagers and girls in pursuing their dreams, accompanied by inspirational songs, brought back many people's memories of their youth.

Many people excitedly left messages on the Internet, spontaneously helping to promote the MV.

"Finally... I have to tell those people that our school days were definitely not puppy love and abortion!"

"What is youth? Youth is to strive hard for a goal with all your strength, even if you fail, you have no regrets. Youth is to cheer for victory together, cry for failure together, and promise to come back next time..."

"I hope I can also see the comics and animations changed by our national competition. Isn't such a passionate youth more fragrant than those who pick up girls, fight, have abortions, and have car accidents?!"

"Football teenagers in China, come on! Many of you may not become professional players like Hu Lai and Li Qingqing, but enjoying your youth with no regrets after going all out will also become the most precious thing in your life. wealth!"

Although the video of participating in the performance has aroused great repercussions in China, the two parties have not been affected in any way, and they still live their own lives.

After all, the immediate training and competition are more important.

Especially Hu Lai, the next quarter-finals of the Europa League.

After the training, Hu Lai drove Morikawa Junpei home from the training base, and Morikawa Junpei, who was sitting in the co-pilot, suddenly answered the phone.

In order not to disturb Junpei Morikawa's call, Hu Lai paused the music.

I heard Junpei Morikawa say in Japanese: "Hi, hi... hi! I will, Director Motegi, don't worry, I will not let you down!"

When Junpei Morikawa hung up the phone, Hu Lai asked, "Has your head coach finally remembered you?"

Junpei Morikawa replied: "Supervisor Motegi is coming to Europe to inspect the performance of players. He is going to come to Leeds to watch our Europa League match against Royal Catjon. Because Yonezawa is in Royal Catjon."

Hu Lai was stunned.

Most of the players of the Japanese national team basically play in Europe. As the head coach of the team, if he wants to observe the performance of the team on the spot, he has to fly to Europe.

While many European games are televised, they can also be seen in Japan.

But watching the game on TV is a helpless move. After all, the information you receive is limited by the footage of the TV broadcast. Some game scenes, if you don’t show them to you, you won’t be able to see them.

A demanding head coach, of course, still wants to come to the scene to watch the game as much as possible. Only at the scene will you not be restricted by the TV broadcast, and you can see what you want to watch.

As for why Hiroto Motegi chose this game, it is of course because this game allows him to inspect two Japanese players at once, which is very cost-effective.

At the same time, the Europa League is a European competition, and neither team will be perfunctory. Examining the performance of the target player in this kind of game will have more gold content.

That is to say, there are many Japanese players in Europe, so they can just make up for it.

Although Chinese football now has several players playing in Europe, it is almost impossible to meet each other in a short period of time.

Chen Xingyi's Athletic Amsterdam successfully broke into the top 16 of the UEFA Champions League. He was also re-registered by the club in the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League squad, but Hu Lai was eliminated from the UEFA Champions League. It is impossible for them to meet this season. .

Eldrea, who has Wang Guangwei, did not participate in the European war at all.

In the same situation as him are Zhang Qinghuan and Luo Kai. Neither of their teams qualified for the European competition.

Xia Xiaoyu's Alvara met with Hu Lai's Leeds City, but Xia Xiaoyu's head coach didn't seem to like him very much. He never played for the first team.

Now that Alvara has changed the head coach, I don't know if Xia Xiaoyu will have the chance to play in the first team. But that has nothing to do with Hu Lai, thinking that it is absolutely impossible for the two teams to meet before the end of this game.

Generally speaking, it is because there are too few Chinese players playing in Europe.

If it blooms everywhere in the future and you can meet it casually, it is estimated that Chinese fans and the media will get used to it, and it will not be strange to see it.

You see, the Japanese media is absolutely not hyping up such things as "Japanese Derby in Europe".

"Speaking of which, Morikawa, you are the defensive midfielder, and Yonezawa Masao is the offensive midfielder, which is just right. This is indeed a good opportunity. If you can completely freeze your teammates in the national team during the game, it is estimated that Hiroto Motegi will definitely put it back. You have recalled the national team." Hu Lai said.

Junpei Morikawa nodded: "I don't think about the national team, Hu Lai. But I will do my best to stop Yonezawa-senpai during the game."

Hu Lai asked again: "I heard that Japan has a strict hierarchy. If you prevent Masao Yonezawa from doing nothing in the game, you will lose the game. Then when you go to the national team, will he make things difficult for you?"

Junpei Morikawa shook his head: "No. I will bow and apologize to Senior Yonezawa after going to the national team. Senior Yonezawa will not care about such things..."

"You still bowed and apologized regardless?"

"There must be proper etiquette."

"Okay..." Hu Lai rolled his eyes and thought of another thing. "If Morikawa meets us in the national team competition, what will you do?"

He originally asked in a joking manner, but Morikawa Junpei suddenly bowed slightly to Hu Lai in a serious way:

"I'm sorry, Hu Lai. In that case, I will definitely go all out in the game and help the team beat you..."

Seeing how serious he was, Hu Lai quickly waved his hands: "Oh, don't be so serious. I was just joking..."

Junpei Morikawa still said seriously: "If we beat you in the game, I will treat you to dinner after the game as an apology..."

"Eh? Eh, this is fine! This is fine!" Hu Lai nodded repeatedly.

Morikawa Junpei laughed, he knew that Hu Lai would be willing to accept his sincere apology.

But what he didn't expect was that Hu Lai casually said while driving: "However, Morikawa... I don't think you may have a chance to invite this meal..."

Morikawa Junpei glanced at Hu Lai in surprise, and then understood what this sentence meant.

He was silent for two seconds, then laughed and said softly: "I will try my best to invite you to this meal."

"Okay, come on!"

Real Catalejon is currently ranked 16th in La Liga, with only 26 points in 27 league rounds. Just one point more than the relegation zone.

It can be said that it is already on the verge of relegation.

The current Real Catjon should be fighting for relegation, so it is a little embarrassing to play the Europa League again-their ranking in the league this season is so bad, it is obviously affected by the Europa League.

You must know that last season, Real Carterjon concentrated on La Liga and performed very well, and the final score was fifth in the league.

With this result, they also qualified for the Europa League this season.

The result is like the story that has happened countless times to these mid-range teams:

Because of participating in the Europa League, Real Carterjon's performance in La Liga this season was very bad-they only won five games in the 27th round of the league, and they had 11 draws and 11 losses in the remaining 22 league games.

Although their performance in the league is not very good, their performance in the Europa League is very outstanding: the Europa League group stage has two wins and four draws to remain unbeaten, with 10 points, ranking first in the group. In the sixteenth final, they eliminated the Bundesliga team Frankfurt White Hart with a total score of 2:1 and reached the top sixteen of the Europa League.

For this purpose, Royal Catjon must do a multiple-choice question:

Do you want to continue playing in the Europa League?

What if we make it to the quarter-finals and the league falls to the relegation zone?

Is it desperate to fight for the first European championship in the club's history, or do our best to avoid relegation?

That's something Real Catalejon head coach Jean Osvaldo has to think about.

It is also an issue for Leeds City to consider.

Because this determines what tactical strategy they will use to deal with this Europa League opponent.

"No, we don't have to think about whether Real Catalejon will give up the Europa League, or put all our eggs in the Europa League...don't care what the opponent thinks, this is our home field, so we will play in the way we are most used to. "

In the tea room, Tony Clark set the tone for the team's preparations.

No one, including Sam Randyll, disagreed with this opinion.

With the current strength of Leeds City, they should indeed "maintain me" when fighting at their own home court.

"We are good at attacking, and this is our home court, so our tactics are attacking. Whether Real Carterjon is defending and counterattacking, or we are attacking...it's up to them. Do our own thing, I believe the result will be different. would be too far away."
