Fox in the Penalty Area

In the photo, Li Qingqing is waving the five-star red flag in his hand, and the whole person is sitting on Hu Lai's shoulders, and Hu Lai is holding her under her, bearing the full weight of her and the national flag.

Both had happy smiles on their faces.

In the second photo, Hu Lai and Li Qingqing had already walked to the designated area, and they were standing with the flag-bearers of other delegations.

But in this photo, the faces of Hu Lai and Li Qingqing cannot be seen, they can only be seen standing opposite each other.

The upper body was blocked by a corner of the pulled flag.

Because of the occlusion of the national flag, everyone couldn't see what the two people behind were doing. But there are speculations on the Internet that they are kissing... Just taking into account the mood of the audience, they chose to use the national flag to cover it up.

The third photo shows Hu Lai and Li Qingqing in the cheering crowd after the closing ceremony's theatrical performance has begun.

The two of them cuddled against the background of the stage that was performing behind them. Hu Lai rested his head on Li Qingqing's shoulder, while Li Qingqing stretched his arms and held up the camera. The smiles on their faces were particularly bright.

Apparently they were taking selfies.

The fourth photo, the fifth photo...and many, many photos of the two of them at the closing ceremony.

Xie Lan downloaded all the photos she saw online to her phone and moved them to a folder called "son and daughter-in-law".

It was full of photos she had collected over the years, and even if she changed her phone, it would be synced to the new phone.

She doesn't take many photos herself, but there are thousands of photos in the album, all of which she collected through various channels.

Looking at the photos in the file, she showed a happy smile.

The Olympics are over, and she's very satisfied this summer.

Li Qingqing looked at the selfie of herself and Hu Lai at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games.

Because of the complicated lighting, she took more than one photo.

Now she has to choose the best one among so many.

At the very least, there should be no green, purple, blue, red, etc. messy lights on the face, it seems that the whole person is very strange.

In the end, she chose the best one, and the faces of the two were very clean, with no strange light spots.

The smile is also great and the expression is perfect.

No one blinked or looked around. The two of them stared at the phone screen with all four eyes, their eyes wide open and their eyebrows raised.

Li Qingqing lit up the red heart representing "collection" under this photo with great satisfaction.

After doing this, she put the phone off and put it in her pocket, lay down again, and closed her eyes.

The roar of the plane's engine was in her ears, and she put the noise-cancelling headphones on her head again, ready to go to sleep.

In the seat next to her, Hu Lai had already fallen asleep.

At this moment, they are now on the plane from Los Angeles, USA to Madrid, Spain.

After the Olympic Games, this summer has come to an end, she and Hu Lai have to return to their respective clubs to start the preparations for the new season.

In fact, it stands to reason that after participating in such an international competition, the players should be left with rest time.

After all, players are not machines and need to rest.

If they are not rested, the fatigue that builds up in consecutive games can overwhelm players' bodies and eventually lead to injuries.

Therefore, whether it is the King of Madrid or the Pirates of Madrid, they have left about ten days of vacation for their players who participated in the Olympic Games.

Hu Lai and Li Qingqing did not have to rush back to Madrid just after participating in the Olympics.

But Hu Lai gave up the opportunity to take a vacation and wanted to rush back to Madrid to train with the team. Naturally, Li Qingqing went back with Hu Lai.

Hu Lai is so anxious because the new season of La Liga has begun - just a day before their participation in the Olympic finals, the first round of the 2028-2029 La Liga season has begun.

The defending champion Madrid Pirates were tied 0-0 by Valero on the road, finishing the first round of the league and only ranked 12th.

Of course, a league cannot decide the final fate of the team. But without Hu Lai's Madrid Pirates, they are not very strong on the road, and Valero, who only ranked 13th last season, is not strong. However, he could not attack for a long time and could not score, which indeed highlights the importance of Hu Lai to this team.

Because he was going to participate in the Olympic Games, Hu Lai did not train with the club for even one day during the summer training period.

If we rest for another ten days, after the holiday, the national team's top 12 competition will start again. When he can really practice with the team, it will be the third round of the league.

In view of this situation, Hu Lai took the initiative to apply for no vacation. After the Olympic Games, I flew back to Madrid immediately and joined the team for training.

Although the head coach Parrotti was a little worried about his physical fitness, Hu Lai patted his chest and promised that when he returned to Madrid, the team would give him a detailed physical fitness test, and he knew that there was no problem with his physical fitness at all.

Parrotti thought that last season, Hu Lai had no problem with his physical fitness when he played double games for a week, so he agreed to Hu Lai's request to return directly to the team without taking a vacation.

To be honest, he really needs Hu Lai very much.

This season, his team is the defending champion of the league, and the pressure would have been greater than last season. In addition, the opponents have been strengthened to varying degrees.

Catalonia, in particular, brought in Kabonka Kendall for free from Manchester Athletic this summer. The reason why Kabonka did not participate in the Olympics as an overage player is also said to be because he did not want to miss the first training session of the new team, so as not to fall into a long adaptation period.

The Madrid Pirates also made signings this summer, but the problem is that during the training period throughout the summer, Hu Lai, as the absolute main force of the team, has not practiced together for even a day. He cooperates.

When Hu Lai returns to the club, it will take time to re-cooperate with his new teammates.

The team has to get back together.

If the kneading is not good, maybe the performance of the Madrid Pirates in the new season will be deeply affected, which may affect almost half the season.

This is also the reason why some fans in China did not want Hu Lai to participate in the Olympic Games - they were afraid of delaying Hu Lai's performance in the second season of La Liga.

Of course, no one in China will think that Hu Lai has a problem with participating in the Olympic Games...

Li Qingqing did not return directly to the team like Hu Lai. Although she returned to Madrid with Hu Lai, she had to rest at home for ten days before going to practice with the team.

On the one hand, it is because the Women's Western Super League started relatively late, and it will not start until September. On the other hand, of course, because she is really tired, she needs to rest for ten days.

After all, she didn't hang up...

Li Qingqing didn't know why Hu Lai always recovered quickly after every game. Like this Olympics, there are basically only two days between each game, and the longest is only three days. It is not the intensity of "double games a week", but "three games a week".

Such an intensive schedule is very demanding on physical fitness.

But Hu Lai's physical fitness is the best in the team, and he is not tired at all.

Li Qingqing can only be attributed to the possibility that Hu Lai is talented in physical fitness...

The Madrid Pirates' signings this summer started with an accident.

Because of the outstanding performance after his comeback last season, the club is ready to renew his contract with Maxi Carey. They realized that Carey and Hu Lai were able to create sparks together.

Originally, they thought that renewing the contract with Carey would be an easy thing - we have worked together for so many years, trust and understand each other, and there are emotional factors. As long as the club gives enough sincerity (year) and intention (salary), there is no reason for Kyrie not to sign.

But when the club was about to talk to Kyrie's agent, Jim Castian, about a contract extension, Castian told them that his players were not ready to negotiate a contract extension now, he wanted to focus on the game and put his Play the rest of the season well.

Well, at a time when the season wasn't over, the reason was impeccable and plausible.

After all, the team was still competing with the King of Madrid for tickets to the Champions League final, as well as competing with the King and Catalan for the league championship.

Carey may be trying to help the team win the Champions League or the league title to enhance his bargaining power in contract renewal negotiations.

But when the season ended, the club found Castian again, and the other side told them a shocking news:

Maxi Carey is not ready to renew his contract with the club. He will leave the team after his last season with the Madrid Pirates and his contract expires!

The people at the pirate club are stupid - what is this **** unfolding?

Everyone cooperated so well, why did you suddenly leave?

They know that Maxi Carey has long decided to retire from his hometown team, but a year later, at the age of thirty-five, Carey plans to return to the Netherlands? The Hague Hercules is still in the Dutch League! Is Carey going to play the Netherlands? With his pride... how is it possible? !

Even Samuel Leray, the general manager of the club, went to talk to Carey specifically, on the one hand to find out what he was thinking, and on the other hand, naturally, to persuade him to give up the idea.

They thought that Kyrie acted capriciously after being threatened by Hu Lai after his second serious injury.

The end result is that Carey is determined to leave the team when his contract expires.

He didn't say the real reason, he just told everyone who came to persuade him: he has no problem with the club, and he has no problem with Hu Lai. He didn't renew his contract just because he thought he needed a new challenge, but he also told the club not to worry, although he didn't renew his contract, he would do his best for the club in the last season of his contract, just like he did last season.

In short, the attitude of not renewing the contract is very firm.

Since Carey is determined not to renew his contract with the club, in line with the principle of getting together and breaking up, the Madrid Pirates Club will not force it.

But this means that the team has to step up the introduction of Kyrie's successor...

In the end, the Madrid Pirates spent 35 million euros to introduce their midfielder Milos Vukovic from the Bundesliga team Vesedorf.

The 26-year-old Serbia international was a playmaker for Wisedov and helped Wisedov reach the semi-finals of the Europa League last season, was named Wissedov's player of the season, and 2027 Serbian Footballer of the Year.

As a Serbian player, he inherited the characteristics of the former Yugoslav football geniuses, with delicate feet, tough style and comprehensive abilities. It is not the same style as Maxi Carey, but the offensive organization ability is not bad.

He made 41 appearances in all competitions in Wissedov last season, scoring four goals and providing 14 assists.

It stands to reason that such an excellent player would be difficult to get him for only 35 million euros, but on the one hand, Vukovic and Vessedov's contract has only the last year left~www.readwn.com~ On the other hand, he himself wants to leave the Bundesliga and go to a bigger stage to realize his personal value.

La Liga giants Madrid Pirates are a good next home.

But it's not the only place to go.

When Vukovic wanted to leave the team, it attracted a lot of European tyrants to chase.

Premier League giants Manchester Athletic also want Vukovic after losing Kabonka.

One of the key reasons why Vukovic finally chose the Madrid Pirates was Hulai.

The Serbia international expressed his desire to work with such a good striker as Hule in an interview after his move to the Madrid Pirates. Thank you for your monthly ticket and subscription support

He believes that with Hu Lai, he will quickly grow into a more top midfield playmaker.

Hu Lai, who was still preparing for the Olympic Games at the time, did not expect that he would become a key figure in deciding an important signing without doing anything...
