Fox in the Penalty Area

On the second day after the China Cup semi-finals, Jorge Dillon did not arrange training for the team, but just let the team perform a simple recovery training in the hotel gym before breakfast.

After the meal, the players had to leave by car to visit the Giant Panda Breeding Base located in the northeast corner of Jincheng City.

This can be regarded as the itinerary arranged by the China Cup, not the decision made by the head coach Dillon. But Dillon is happy to see it happen.

After several consecutive days of high-intensity training, another game was played, and the players were physically and mentally exhausted. At this time, they should indeed be given a vacation instead of continuing to tie them to the training ground.

And not only the Chinese team, but also the other three national teams that were invited to participate in the China Cup, also took a break today and came to the Panda Base to visit the naive giant pandas.

For this matter, the players of those three teams were more positive than the players of the Chinese team—for many of them, this was even the first time in their lives that they had such close contact with a live giant panda.

So at 8:30 in the morning, the gate of the Panda Base was already crowded with reporters from various countries and fans who had heard the news.

The traffic police had to implement temporary traffic control on the main traffic arterial road with a radius of two kilometers around the training base, so that the buses of the four teams could reach the gate of the panda base smoothly.

Hubert Tupay got off the bus and saw the densely packed female fans around him, and said excitedly: "Wow! So many female fans! It's amazing! Are they all here to welcome us? Really So enthusiastic..."

Dominic Lasky, who followed him down, glanced at the national team teammate who played for newly promoted Helmer in the Premier League: "You think too much, Hubert. They are all here to welcome 'brohuan'."

"brohuan?" Tupay frowned, not quite understanding the meaning of this word.

"The super idol of Chinese football." Lasky explained.

Tupay is even more strange: "Isn't a super idol Hu? His influence in this country is almost everywhere..."

Although it is the first time to come to China, Tupay has fully understood the status of Hu Lai here through various street advertisements, interviews with media reporters, and the performance of fans.

In their game against Mexico yesterday, because Laski and Hu Lai were teammates at the club, so many Chinese fans turned into Polish fans, cheering them on, making the Polish team feel like they were playing at home. Like the ball.

Such treatment is simply unbelievable.

It also further proves the popularity of Holly in this country.

His initial emotion was actually half-joking. He thought that these fans might have come to welcome Hu Lai...

Unexpectedly, a "brohuan" appeared?

Lasky chuckled: "That's right, Hu's influence in this country is everywhere. But in the eyes of female fans, 'brohuan' is irreplaceable."

"Huh?" Tupay was surprised that Laski would say that.

At this moment, a red bus painted with a golden dragon came from a distance. Laski stopped explaining when he saw it, because Tupay could witness it with his own eyes.

No matter how much he said, the other party would not believe it, so it would be better to let him see it.

That red bus is the China Cup, the special bus for the Chinese team.

They drove over after the Polish team's bus drove away, stopped firmly, and opened the door.

The players of the Chinese team file down.

Every player was cheered by the fans.

Including Holly.

When Hou Lai came down, it was clear that he caused more commotion than his previous teammates.

Tupay, who had entered the gate of the Panda Base with the team, winked at Lasky when he heard the cheers: "Listen, Dominique!"

Lasky chuckled and did not refute.

Because he had already seen Brohuan walking towards the door from the window of the bus.

After two more players from the Chinese team got off, Zhang Qinghuan appeared from the bus door and poked his head.

The high-pitched and shrill cry that is unique to female fans suddenly sounded at the scene:

"Qing-Huan-!!!"

The voices of the male fans overwhelmed the scene, like a storm swept in.

Laski winked back at Tupay, shrugged and spread his hands: See what I said?

Tupay was dumbfounded and didn't respond to him, as if he had been blown to bits by the storm.

The episode at the gate of the panda base passed quickly, and did not affect the players' next play.

Those football stars who enjoy the admiration of thousands of people on the football field, after seeing the cute giant pandas, turned into fanboys one after another, unable to move.

Especially in the panda delivery room, even though they could only watch the panda cubs who were just born through the glass, the players from various countries tried their best to suppress their voices and exclaimed again and again.

At this time, they are very similar to the female fans outside the panda base.

"God... If I could hug it, I would lose ten goals!" Lasky groaned as he lay down in front of the glass window, his eyes bulging.

Hou Lai, who was following him, said: "That's not okay, Dominique. You didn't score for your own sake! So you can't use goals as an exchange! Well, hurry up and get out of the way!" "

Lasky followed the team reluctantly, while looking back at Hu Lai: "Why are you so calm, Hu? Don't you like pandas?"

"I like it." Hu Lai said.

"But your expression doesn't say that."

"Hey, I'm Chinese, Dominick, and my home is here. I've seen pandas countless times since I was a child, and I've been to this place no less than a hundred times!" Hu Lai pouted. "Why should I be surprised by a place that I have been to more than a hundred times? I even hugged a panda and took pictures when I was young."

When Laski heard him say this, his eyes widened: "Impossible...you can actually take a picture with a panda in your arms?"

"Yeah, as long as you give money. But it's not allowed to do that now, for safety reasons. It doesn't matter how much you give."

Hu Lai is actually bragging. In the past, it was indeed possible to spend money to take a photo with a panda, but now it is indeed not possible. But these have nothing to do with him, he has never taken a photo with a panda in his arms, because his family had no money at all when he was a child. Taking a photo with a giant panda costs about 2,000 yuan. Given their family's financial situation, it is already very rare to be able to come to the panda base once. How could it be possible for him to spend 2,000 yuan just to take a photo with a panda?

However, this does not prevent Hou Lai from going to Versailles in front of Lasky. Anyway, Lasky doesn't know what happened to him when he was a child...

Laski, who was flaunted by riding his face, was speechless at first, and then became excited: "Damn! You are so enviable! In Poland, if you want to see a panda, you can only go to the Warsaw Zoo to see a panda statue. And here , but you can come whenever you want, you can see the big ones, you can see the newborns if you want to see them... You can even take pictures with a panda in your arms! Why is this world so unfair? !Why am I not Chinese!"

Facing the roaring Lasky, Hu Lai sneered: "Dominique, if you were reincarnated in Anton, China, then you must first save the universe in your previous life. Obviously, your contribution is not enough."

The play at the Panda Base went very smoothly and I was very happy.

When the international players of the four countries left the panda base, they went to the souvenir shop to buy a lot of panda-related peripheral products, such as panda card, panda backpack, panda dolls, panda badges, panda postcards, etc.

These are great travel souvenirs for their loved ones and friends.

At the end, each team took a group photo with the panda dolls they just bought in front of the iconic sculpture of the Panda Base.

They ended their half-day tour in the Panda Base with unfinished business.

For these professional players, this is indeed a rare leisure.

Although it is a long way to come to the Chinese team to participate in the "China Cup", many people feel gratified to have close contact with pandas.

Laski was very excited, and posted an ins, which contained photos of him looking at giant pandas, and photos of him holding a panda doll, as well as photos of him with Hu Lai and Zhang Qinghuan.

And with text:

"China, Anton, Jincheng, Panda Base. What a great day, I finally got to see a giant panda! Although I've seen the panda mascot many times at Leeds' home ground, guys, this time it's the real one Pandas! Unbelievable, they are so cute! Wow! I could watch them eat bamboo here for a day! Finally, introducing my new friend, the legendary 'brohuan'! Leeds City fans must have been Got to know him, he is such a super 'beautiful' person!"

"Awesome" he used Chinese characters.

Soon his ins was forwarded by Hu Lai:

"Brother Huan is awesome!"

He used Chinese characters for these four characters.

Immediately afterwards, foreign fans asked for help below: "What does 'Brother Huan Niubi' mean? Can anyone translate?"

Enthusiastic fans of Chinese students studying abroad responded to him: "'Brother Huan' is Zhang Qinghuan's nickname, and you can understand 'beautiful' as 'awesome', which together means that Zhang Qinghuan is very powerful."

"Oh oh oh! Thank you, thank you! I still remember that Zhang Qinghuan made Catal United lose to Leeds City at home with just one meal. This is indeed a very powerful operation!"

"Hahaha! I knew someone would mention Cathay United! Yes, that's right, let's shout together: 'Brother Huan is awesome'!"

"Brother Huan is awesome!"

"Brother Huan is awesome!!"

...

Later, when Zhang Qinghuan heard "Brother Huan is awesome" from the stands in the Sarria game, he subconsciously blurted out:

"Hu Lai, what the hell..."
