Fox in the Penalty Area

The latest website: "...In the Europa League semi-final that ended early this morning, Leeds City, where Chinese player Hu Lai is located, defeated London Bridge 2:1 and entered the Europa League final with a total score of 5:3. This It is also the first time that a Chinese player has appeared in the final of the European war... Hu Lai did not score in this game, but he assisted teammate Dominic Laski to score in the 73rd minute, helping Leeds City lock Victory..."

The girls of the Chinese women's football team who were training at the Red Maple Ridge base finished their day's training and came to the base restaurant for dinner when they saw the news about Hu Lai.

When the news appeared, almost everyone put down the tableware in their hands, and looked up seriously to read the news.

After watching it, let's talk about it.

Xu Wen looked around the familiar Hongfengling restaurant and said with emotion: "I suddenly thought of an old thing..."

Others asked curiously: "What old thing?"

"A few years ago, we trained together with the Olympic team in Hongfengling, do you remember?"

This women's national team has undergone personnel changes and has been rotated several times. Many people who were in the team at the beginning have left now, and many people who are in the team now have not yet joined the national team.

So when Xu Wen mentioned this matter, many people showed confusion on their faces, and only a few people suddenly realized: "Oh oh oh! Remember, remember! It was the time when we participated in the East Asian Cup and trained here. That was four years ago..."

"That was the first time that Hu Lai was selected for a national team. I remember that some people said that he came to the Olympic team as Guan Xinyan's backup..." Xu Wen continued to introduce, but her words were interrupted up.

Because someone asked:

"Who is Guan Xinyan?"

Xu Wen froze for a moment, and suddenly realized that she didn't know how to introduce Guan Xinyan, because she hadn't heard about Guan Xinyan for a long time.

Fortunately, not everyone knows who Guan Xinyan is. Someone explained for Xu Wen: "He used to play in Shanhailanyue. He was very talented and was very promising. But later his development was not as expected. Now he is going to the Chinese Premier League. It's..."

"Going to the middle class?" Xu Wen herself was a little surprised when she heard the news.

"Yeah. But it's said that I can't play in the Chinese Premier League.

Long-term bench...basically useless. The team member who said this sighed, and felt sorry for Guan Xinyan from the bottom of his heart. After all, his talent was outstanding at the beginning. Every time such a player is abandoned, it is a great loss for Chinese football.

Xu Wen didn't care what Guan Xinyan was doing now, she waved her hand: "Guan Xinyan was still very good at that time, the top player in the National Olympics. But he didn't come to the East Asian Cup, but when Hu Lai came, some people said that Hu Lai was doing it for Guan Xinyan. Spare tires. Even before the East Asian Cup, some people on the Internet said that Hu Lai was selected for the Olympic team to participate in the East Asian Cup because he gave money to the leaders of the Olympic team..."

When she said this, someone in the audience asked back in surprise: "Throw money? Does Hu Lai still need to put money?"

At the same time, someone laughed.

Hearing this laughter, Xu Wen said: "Look, now you all think it's funny that Hu Lai has to pay for the Olympic team. But there were indeed so many people who believed it at that time. After all, Hu Lai at that time Lai is still an unknown person... Now looking at what happened back then, I find it very interesting... There is a feeling of witnessing history!"

"Xu Wen, when you mentioned this, I remembered that when we were in friendship with the Olympic team, we kicked Director Yan's hat in the final game. In the end, only Hu Lai got the kick..."

As soon as Xu Wen heard this, she took Li Qingqing's arm next to her: "Isn't this all Qingqing's idea? Qingqing, to be honest, you deliberately created opportunities for Hu Lai, right?"

Li Qingqing waved his hand: "No, no. It's impossible for me to know that he can definitely hit the hat..."

"Stop pretending. You and Hu Lai Mingming had known each other for a long time, but in the end you pretended you didn't know each other at all in front of us... You are hiding so deeply, Qingqing!" Xu Wen and her teammates joked about Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing's cheeks were slightly red, so she didn't explain. She knew very well that at this time, don't explain, lying flat and letting ridicule is the right choice.

But she has to admit that her teammates are right, she really hides deeply...

But there is no way.

At that time, if everyone knew that he and Hu Lai knew each other, it would actually bring trouble and controversy to Hu Lai.

Unlike now, the reason why she has no public relationship with Hu Lai is just to consider her father's feelings, and she doesn't have to worry about attracting criticism from other people.

Because her sweetheart is already a great hero.

Every step he takes is creating the history of Chinese football.

He is the first Chinese player to win the Premier League title, the first Chinese player to win the Premier League Golden Boot, the first Chinese player to win the World Cup Golden Boot, and now the first Chinese player to reach the European final ...

Even Li Qingqing herself did not have these honors.

In the past, it was Hu Lai who was chasing Li Qingqing, but now Li Qingqing feels that he has to work hard to catch up with him...

But Li Qingqing didn't think there was anything bad about it.

Instead, she's happy.

The more successful Hu Lai is, the more it shows how good her vision was at the beginning?

At the same time, she also hopes that Hu Lai's success can somewhat change her father's previous inherent impression of him, so that when she finally goes to a showdown with her father, she will not be opposed by her father...

After this World Cup, Li Qingqing will go home and have a special talk with her father, and tell him about the relationship between her and Hu Lai. Then find an opportunity to make it public—after all, the two of them can't keep it from everyone.

When they were training in Hongfeng Ridge, they had difficulties.

From now on, what difficulties can there be?

Xu Wen stopped joking with Li Qingqing, but continued to sigh with emotion: "...I can be counted as someone who watched Hu Lai grow up step by step!"

Li Qingqing smiled slightly when she heard her friend's emotion.

I am!

"...After the game between Leeds and London Bridge, the two teams that made it to the final of the Europa League in Paris are out. The title fight will be between Leeds from the Premier League and Seville from La Liga. Between the navigators of Asia..."

Lilith's gaze was attracted by Hu Lai's wrist in the news video, because she saw a familiar bracelet on it.

She remembered that she had seen a red rope ring with Qingqing.

But how can you be sure it's the one?

Thinking of this, Lilith paused the video, and then zoomed in on the screen.

Although the picture quality deteriorated and the picture became blurred, she could still vaguely see three silk threads of different colors in the middle of the bracelet...

Tut tut!

Lilith sneered when she saw this detail.

Still lying to me that there is nothing between you?

You even put on couple bracelets, and you didn't say anything?

Are all Chinese people so dishonest?

Or... is this a little fun between the two of them?

They enjoy the mystery of "the whole world doesn't know that we are together"?

It's a pity that I, Lilith, have seen through all your petty thoughts!

hum!

"Look, I just said that the lucky bracelet has an effect! You really made it to the Europa League final!"

Li Qingqing sent some blurry screenshots of the news video to Hu Lai, and said happily at the same time.

"Don't tell me, it's really like this... Even our boss found it strange that we killed London Bridge at home and away. We discussed it in the locker room for a long time after the game yesterday. What power is helping us like..."

Hu Lai is talking nonsense, because there is no such thing. Clark didn't think there was anything surprising about the double kill at London Bridge, and the Leeds City team did not discuss this matter.

The reason why he said this was that he hoped to prepare Li Qingqing mentally in advance.

Because he is convinced that this bracelet can really change luck.

So if Li Qingqing encounters a lot of good luck in the game, he won't be surprised.

"Hey, the power in the dark is me!" Li Qingqing asked for credit. "How? This bracelet isn't worth ten meals or something?"

Seeing Li Qingqing's words, Hu Lai couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Sister, I already owe you so many meals, you still need ten meals?"

"Bad, why isn't it bad?"

"By the way, haven't you heard the saying, 'If you have too much debt, you don't have to worry about it'? Are you not afraid of my repayment?"

"Don't be afraid, the monk can't run away from the temple! I know where your home is!"

Hu Lai first sent an emoji with a black question mark, and then said: "Good guy, can you still do this?!"

Li Qingqing held the mobile phone and laughed hard.

After laughing, she typed: "To reach the Europa League final is worth ten meals. If you finally win the Europa League championship, then this bracelet is worth... a hundred meals!"

"Hey! Isn't this inflation too exaggerated?"

"Oh, don't be stingy. Champion of the Europa League! Isn't it worth a hundred meals? If you really do it, you will be the first player in China and the second in Asia!"

However, after she sent this sentence, she didn't get a response from Hu Lai very quickly, which made Li Qingqing a little puzzled: "What are you doing? Can't bear it?"

"No, I was thinking just now. If I wear this bracelet and win the World Cup... how many meals will it be worth?"

Li Qingqing was also stunned looking at this line of text, but Hu Lai didn't expect to think of this matter.

World Cup champion... He still remembers his goal!

Thinking of this, Li Qingqing gritted her teeth, lowered her head and replied on the phone: "If that's the case, you will owe me a lifetime, Hu Lai!"

Hu Lai: "No!"

Hu Lai: "Three lives. This life, the next life, and the next life are all owed!"
