Fox in the Penalty Area

Tang Xiuyuan took a shower, dried her hair, changed into home clothes and came back to the living room. Everyone's attention was no longer on the pre-match broadcast of Tengfei Video, but chatting about various interesting things in high school.

Seeing Tang Xiuyuan coming, everyone greeted their senior sister and sister-in-law one after another.

Tang Xiuyuan sat down next to her boyfriend Chu Yifan, took the chopsticks from her boyfriend, and Yan Yan handed him another bottle of beer.

She just sat down and ate supper, and continued to listen to everyone chatting about their high school past.

They were both players of the Dongchuan Middle School football team, and most of the things they talked about were naturally related to the football team.

Tang Xiuyuan is not a fan, and she doesn't know anything about football, but she still remembers how Chu Yifan held the team flag when the team swore to go to the national competition on the rostrum of the school stadium.

The weather was fine that day, the sun shone on the campus playground, and the yellow team flag fluttered in the morning breeze.

Under the fluttering flag, the banner bearer is coated with a layer of soft light by the sun...

Sometimes, Tang Xiuyuan also wondered why she could remember that scene for so long when she obviously didn't care much about things other than study in high school.

It wasn't until she heard that Chu Yifan had broken up with his girlfriend that she realized that maybe it was because she was already attracted to this handsome and sunny boy.

Now watching everyone discussing the past in high school enthusiastically, she seemed to be back in high school, not participating in it, but watching them from a distance, all eyes finally fell on Chu Yifan's face.

Chu Yifan felt his girlfriend's gaze, turned his head to look over, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Tang Xiuyuan tilted her head slightly: "Suddenly regretted it. I was so focused on my studies when I was in school, that I didn't have much impression of many things you said... It's as if we didn't go to the same high school."

Yan Yan heard it from the side, turned his head and asked: "Sister, you must have heard about Hu Lai's 'Fucking Emperor', right?"

Tang Xiuyuan froze for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed: "I've heard it, I've heard it! Everyone in our class was talking about it..."

In fact, the first time Tang Xiuyuan heard of Hu Lai's name was because of this "fucking emperor" incident.

At that time, everyone was spreading rumors that there was a classmate in Class 1 and 2 of Senior High School doing exercises between classes. His movements were exaggerated and his exercises were funny, so he was named by the dean. Then further news directly exposed the name of this "fucking emperor".

As soon as the name comes out,

Everyone laughed more happily. Because the person lives up to his name, Hu Lai, he really does.

Because of this, Tang Xiuyuan knew the name of this person.

This impression was so deep that when she later heard that the all-powerful Hu Lai in professional football turned out to be her high school alumni, that "fucking emperor", she still had a strong sense of disobedience. It is still impossible to connect the object of worship of countless fans with that "fucking emperor".

Yan Yan clapped his chin, and then stretched out his hand to hold it in the void: "That's enough, the world line is closed!"

Tang Xiuyuan's eyes widened and she asked in surprise, "Is this the end?"

"Yeah, many of our memories are also related to Hu Lai. As long as you can still recall Hu Lai's performance in high school, it will be considered together."

Chu Yifan also nodded beside him and said, "Hu Lai is the key person. Isn't it because of Hu Lai that we can still get together often after so many years?"

He pointed to the TV screen, which was showing highlights of Hu Lai's ten goals in the Europa League.

Those goals that are either wonderful or ordinary are heights that these people in front of the TV cannot achieve in their lifetime.

But if it wasn't for Hu Lai, they would split up after graduating from high school, maybe they could still organize a party every year, or maybe they wouldn't contact each other for many years.

It is really impossible to play football and watch football together like this every now and then.

If it weren't for Hu Lai, how could their high school football career be colorful and leave so many memories that are still exciting to talk about now?

Tang Xiuyuan held a can of beer in her hand and rested her chin on the other hand, sitting next to her boyfriend, listening to their memories of their flying youth, with a smile on her face all the time.

very nice.

Everyone is still together.

I'm with him too.

"Hello, all netizens of Tengfei Video, I am your old friend Shen Lang, and I am now explaining this season's Europa League final live at the Paris World Cup Stadium... For this commentary, we have also invited a mysterious guest... This guest is Shi Wuyin, the former head coach of the Chinese national team, Shi Gui!"

Shi Wuyin's voice came from the live broadcast screen: "Good evening, all netizens of Tengfei Video, I am Shi Wuyin."

"Director Shi is currently on a study tour in Europe, so our Tengfei Video specially invited him to the scene to explain this much-watched game for us..."

"Ah!" Xie Lan in front of the TV was a little surprised, "They actually invited Shi Wuyin!"

"It's quite appropriate." Hu Lixin nodded.

Before the game started, Shen Lang asked about Shi Wuyin's study tour in Europe. After Shi Wuyin said it, he broadened his horizons and further realized the gap between Chinese football and the world's top football in all aspects.

Don't be overly optimistic just because there are a few Chinese players playing in European teams, thinking that the Chinese team is already a strong team in the world.

Just as we were talking, players from both sides came out to warm up. Just as Shi Wuyin was warming up, he continued to talk about the difference between Chinese players and European team players.

"... This lap grab seems very simple. But in fact, if you compare it, you will find that there is a big difference in such a simple lap grab. Seriously, 100% devotion. This will help them enter the game state as soon as possible. Their lap grabbing is to simulate the real confrontation in the game as much as possible. In the past, our players were very relaxed when they were doing lap grabbing before the game. Talking and laughing while grabbing, laughing and joking, maybe 60 to 70% of the investment. This kind of warm-up before the game, after the game starts, it is naturally impossible to enter the game state quickly, because the game cannot allow you to be so laughing Passing and receiving, it is impossible to come up slowly to make a point...Of course, this is not a problem with the players, it is mainly the coach's. Our coaches don't have this awareness..."

Hearing what Shi Wuyin said, Hu Lixin and Li Ziqiang in front of the TV nodded in unison, thinking that Shi Wuyin was right.

Because they realize that they have this problem too.

Especially Li Ziqiang, who coaches a high school team, has higher requirements for actual combat results. Now that high school football and professional football are in line, the requirements for high school players are gradually becoming more standardized and professional.

Hu Lixin's primary school stage was mainly to cultivate children's interest in football, and he didn't pay much attention to grades.

What Shi Wuji said was actually just a small detail in football preparations.

But it is the accumulation of the gaps in these countless small details that eventually becomes a huge gap between Chinese football and world advanced football.

They looked at the warm-up for laps that they had seen countless times before, and they could see the situation after the game from it.

The circle surrounded by the players is denser and smaller, and the running distance of the players who grab the ball in the circle is shortened, and the pressure is stronger. It is required that the players in the outer circle must pass and receive the ball fast enough, and at the same time, they must be stable enough. Mistakes - which may not even qualify as "mistakes" under the loose standards of Chinese football - will result in steals.

Although these players still had smiles on their faces and seemed to be quite relaxed, it was only because they were used to such intensity and seemed to be able to handle it with ease. It's completely different from the laughing and joking of Chinese players who haven't tried their best.

Shen Lang echoed his approval from the side: "There is nothing wrong with this. After Dillon took office, the training of the national team is also the same, emphasizing confrontation and actual combat presence..."

"Dillon is a world-renowned coach, and he is aware of the problems of Chinese players. His changes to our players are all right." Shi Wuyin was not dissatisfied because Dillon did something he didn't do. On the contrary, he is very happy to see the progress of the Chinese team.

This shows that the development of Chinese football has finally caught up with the rhythm of the world.

Soon, the Leeds City players went to shoot training one by one.

They receive the ball from the attacking coach outside the box and shoot the football towards the goal. Some hit the goal frame, but were saved by the goalkeeper Van Deven, and some directly missed the goal frame.

Hu Lai received the ball from the coach, took a little step sideways, and then took a shot at the opposite angle to his sideways pull.

The football didn't fly, but ran forward against the turf, very fast, and went straight into the dead corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper van der Ven was beyond his reach and could not block it.

"Good goal!" Shen Lang couldn't help but admired when he saw this scene, "It seems that Hu Lai's shooting in this game has a good sense of foot, there is something interesting, at least he can score a goal!"

Hearing this, Xie Lan, who had a dignified expression because of the huge gap Shi Wuyin said before, finally smiled.

Hey, as I said so much earlier, as long as her son can score goals, that's fine.
