Fox in the Penalty Area

The word count of the fifth volume is 717854 words.

The number of words in the previous volumes is similar, except for the fourth volume.

The fourth volume exploded because of the long time span and many incidents.

The fifth volume is only one season, and the things it says are very simple:

Leeds won the Europa League and achieved the golden age achievement. The relationship between Hu Lai and Li Qingqing is confirmed.

However, regardless of the fact that there are not many things to explain, the fifth volume is indeed a link between the previous and the next.

Because in this volume, the fate of the main character will change.

In addition to Hu Lai and Li Qingqing, of course it is the process of Zhang Qinghuan, Wang Guangwei, Chen Xingyi and other international players gradually adapting to European football.

In fact, I wanted to use a lot of pen and ink to write about these processes in detail at the beginning, but afterwards, considering that the rhythm was too slow, I gave up many things.

Instead, use the description when it is related to Hu Lai. And compress the long process into the time and space of a game.

I don't know if this is good or not, because some things still don't feel well written.

But the views of the author and the readers are sometimes different.

In some places, the author feels that he has not written thoroughly, but the reader feels that the author repeatedly describes the same thing as too long-winded.

Sometimes the author feels that he has explained clearly, but the reader is at a loss...

For example, I never wrote about the use of Hu Lai after getting the [Marrow Washing Potion]. I thought everyone should guess it. If you get the reward, you must drink it directly. It turns out that readers are very concerned about this, so I have to mention it later...

In addition to the personal fate of the players, the fate of Chinese football has also completed the handover of the link between the previous and the next in the fifth volume.

In fact, at the beginning, I thought about the change of the head coach of the Chinese team for a long time.

Option A: Let Dillon directly succeed Shi Wuyin, and then skip the Asian Cup according to his requirements, let Zhou Zijing become the protagonist of the Asian Cup, and run the team. But I will not write this process in detail.

Option B: Let Dong Jianhai take over the team, and then suffer a miserable defeat in the Asian Cup, and then dismiss the class amidst the anger of the fans, let the Football Association recognize their previous mistakes, and then obediently invite Dillon.

If you choose A, you can avoid "abuse" and avoid "turns and turns", but I always feel that this can't reflect growth-everything goes smoothly, everything is carried out according to the optimal route, it is safe, but also boring.

Choosing B also means that I have to spend pen and ink to write a failure, which is also a stimulus to the reader's nerves.

Finally, after thinking about it, I chose B, but did not follow the original B plan completely, and wrote it like this:

Dong Jianhai took over the national team and wanted to change, but after failing, he immediately gave up such an idea, and his performance in the Asian Cup was not satisfactory. Everyone could see that he was going to dismiss get out of class.

But I did not continue to write like this, he failed all the way, and was finally swept out.

Instead, the match against the Japanese team was specially arranged, and that way of writing was arranged.

Let Dong Jianhai, a transitional figure, have his own highlight performance.

Because I don't want to simply write Dong Jianhai as a "tool man", his appearance is just to pave the way for Dillon to take the stage.

He is always a living person, with his own thoughts and unwillingness. This struggle is reflected in the game against the Japanese team. The man who was ridiculed as a coward, had a crazy side in the end.

In the end, he chose to resign instead of being fired by the Football Association. It was also my arrangement for the above purpose.

At the same time, using this Asian Cup to reflect the growth and reflection I mentioned in the fourth volume summary.

Let the Chinese players gradually change and grow.

After all, if you just let the players suddenly start to reflect when they are chatting, I always feel that it is too blunt and not deep enough.

It is better for them to reflect after their failure in the Asian Cup, which will be more true and credible, and at the same time more powerful.

As long as the readers outside the book and the fans in the book feel that this Asian Cup did not fail in vain, then the goal has been achieved.

Let's talk about the emotional drama between Hu Lai and Li Qingqing.

This paragraph also took a lot of my hard work, and made the hair that was not rich on my head even worse...

As we all know, I am not good at writing emotional dramas.

Because in reality, I am a straight steel man, and my wife always complains that I don't understand romance at all.

Therefore, in order to write that Hu Lai and Li Qingqing developed from a relationship between "lover is not full, Friendship or above" to love, I racked my brains, cautiously, and discussed with my wife several times.

I know that many readers, when I wrote about Li Qingqing's story of running to Leeds to watch Hu Lai, expect them to have a relationship that night.

When I was writing about the period when Hu Lai sent Li Qingqing up to the hotel, and then asked Li Qingqing to return to Hu Lai's house, I was very nervous, and I wonder if readers will accept this arrangement.

Because I actually aroused the readers' thoughts in that regard, and turned over the next chapter and found that nothing happened overnight and nothing happened between the two.

Will readers have a huge disappointment and resentment of "I take off my pants, just show me this?"

But I still insist that I didn't write them together at the time.

Because I don't want to spoil the green and beautiful feeling between the two people, I think there should always be a reasonable transition.

Using this night to evoke a different kind of affection between two people is equivalent to planting a seed and waiting for the right time to germinate.

If you let them hug each other and roll the sheets, I always feel that it doesn't match the style of the two in this book.

With Liz's overnight preparation, it is more logical to arrange for Hu Lai to discover his true feelings for Li Qingqing later.

But how do you confess?

I thought for a long time, how to confess, how to confess...

I used to have the effect or let Li Qingqing confess to Hu Lai, but I didn't think it was right: Why? Why should Hu Lai get a beauty without paying anything?

If you like it, of course you have to say it, but the boy says it first, isn't it a respect for the girl?

So I arranged a dialogue between Hu Lai and Song Jiajia, so that Hu Lai could re-examine his feelings for Li Qingqing and discover who he is.

Through this dialogue, the relationship problem is directly in front of him, making him unavoidable.

When I waited until the confession chapter, I listened to Karen Mok’s "So Many People in This World" for a day and wrote it. So much so that my wife complained: It's so poisonous, all I hum with open my mouth are this song!

If you have a careful reader, you can definitely find clues about this song from Hu Lai's confession.

When I wrote it, I was very satisfied. I couldn’t wait to update it for everyone to see...

Instead of simply using a straightforward sentence "I love you" to complete the confession, he combined Hu Lai's character to show a boy who used to be inferior and is not emotionally confident, facing everyone's mind. The reaction of the goddess.

So in that chapter I used the title of the song "This is the bravest moment in my life" by Prism.

For Hu Lai, who has been looked down upon and unpopular since he was a child, and had to rely on lying and bragging to maintain his poor self-esteem, bravely pursuing the goddess is indeed the "breastest moment"~www.readwn.com ~In short, I am not good at emotional drama, Hu Lai and Li Qingqing's emotional drama is my favorite part in the fifth volume.

Seeing everyone's feedback after the update was released at that time also made me deeply gratified-after all, all the hair I paid was not wrong.

As for Leeds winning the Europa League, there is actually nothing to say-it is logical that everyone knows that they will win.

After all, if you spend hundreds of thousands of words to write a season, but there is nothing in the end, that is the real water...

It’s just that the fifth volume that I thought of at first does not actually end here, there will be more later.

But I also feel that continuing to write is nothing more than repetition.

Broad, but unnecessary.

So I decided to end the fifth volume here and open a new volume.

As for what the sixth volume says, it's not spoiled. In short, the problem of Hu Lai’s lack of growth mentioned by some readers will be resolved in Volume 6, and he has not yet completely finalized it.

In addition, I probably estimated that if there is no change in the outline, there are about three volumes left in this book.

The number of words in each volume should only be more than 700,000 words, and it is unlikely to be less than this.

So there are about two million words left in this book, and it will be finished in a year.

I am looking forward to the day when the book is finished, I will review the story of Hu Lai and his partners again with you, and make a summary with you, but that is not a summary at the end of the volume, but a summary at the end of the book.

Thank you for your support, and please continue to support.

Two changes will be resumed tomorrow.

Another: According to my statistics, as of the end of the 2026-2027 season, Hu Lai's total career goals have reached 241. There are also 24,100 trees in the Hulai Forest.
