Fox in the Penalty Area

Wang Haoxi and his two roommates followed other Chinese students in Leeds to watch the game.

Because Leeds City fans are boycotting the club on a large scale, it makes it much easier for them to temporarily buy tickets for this game.

During the competition, the scenes of these foreign students appeared on the big screen many times. After all, a group of people with yellow skin and black hair constantly waving the five-star red flag in the stands are indeed quite eye-catching.

Every time they would wave their arms at the camera, jumping and jumping, looking very happy.

But so many times before, I’m afraid it’s not as good as now--

"Ah ah ah!!!"

"Fuck me **** me **** me **** me fuck!"

"Hu Lai is awesome!!"

All the Chinese students in the stands jumped up, pulling their companions around each other, yelling in excitement and venting their emotions.

Seeing these excited Chinese young people in the screen, Matthew Cox, the commentator of Sky TV, the broadcaster of the Premier League game, laughed: "How happy to see them! Hi, Chinese fans, I know today It is the most important holiday in your country... This ball is the best holiday gift for you! Happy New Year!"

David Miller stared at the TV screen blankly. Behind him, his wife was cheering.

"Today's game also saw a large number of Chinese fans on the scene, most of them are international students studying in Leeds. After Hulai scored, they are the happiest people, because they have witnessed history from the closest distance!"

Yan Kang said in response to the scenes of Chinese fans on TV.

In the bar, I don’t know how many glasses of beer were thrown into the sky, and there were people holding beer bottles and shooting at each other to celebrate Hu Lai’s goal.

"Hu Lai is awesome!"

They yelled loudly, so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

Even Yan Yan, who has been advocating and preaching to Hu Lai all day, has changed his indifferent performance after Hu Lai scored.

You know this is a Premier League goal!

Premier League!

The game they could only watch from afar.

Every teenager who plays football may have fantasized about joining the giants of the Premier League and enjoying football in the place where the atmosphere of modern football is strongest.

Many people have their own home teams in the Premier League, and they are arguing with each other on the Internet. Especially for those teams that are already enemies of each other, their fans naturally have to stand with their home team and defend their favorite team.

Even a pair of rival fans in China seems to have lived in the UK for decades, greeting each other's family cordially online.

But now the situation has changed a little.

The vast majority of Chinese fans also have a home team-Leeds City!

This small team, which used to have no reputation among Chinese fans at all, and no fans, has become the largest football team in China.

And all this is just because of one person.

Hu Lai!

※※※

After scoring the goal, Hu Lai confirmed that the football flew to the goal instead of hitting the side net, and then turned and ran to the camera in the corner flag area.

Here comes, is coming...

Matt saw this scene from the top of the stands and muttered silently.

When Hu Lai jumped into the air, turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and landed with his feet spread apart, he also opened his mouth and said:

"BOOM!"

It seemed that a bomb really exploded in the sky over the Flanders stadium.

"Ah! Hu made his signature celebration after scoring!" Sky TV commentator Cox introduced to the audience who had never seen this scene in front of the TV. It’s impressive to celebrate this time after scoring a goal!"

Andrew Thurman exclaimed: "This celebratory action...so handsome!"

Matthew Miller snorted proudly: "I'm tired of watching the Olympics!"

"Hu Lai! Good job!" Yan Kang exclaimed, "He made his signature celebration action in the Premier League! It's so handsome! This is the first time this action has appeared in the Premier League!"

After Hu Lai finished this set of celebration moves, his teammates ran up.

Charlie Potter, who was running at the front, shouted, "Quick, Hu! How did you do that?"

Hu Lai made a gesture of bowing to him, and Potter followed suit. Then the two of them turned to the camera lens and bowed their hands while shouting: "Spring (rush) festival (season) fast (open) ) Happy (to mess with)!"

The other Leeds City players ran over and awkwardly bowed their hands to the camera.

"Hahahaha!" The two commentators in the rear studio, He Feng and Yan Kang, couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene. They were completely ignorant that they were commenting on the game. The joyful atmosphere spread in the studio. Then through satellite signals, it reached thousands of households.

No one thought that after scoring a goal, Hu Lai would worship the Chinese people with Leeds teammates for a year!

He Feng laughed and said: "I think at least we don't have to worry about Hu Lai's popularity in this team...Ha!"

"Indeed." Yan Kang echoed. "It looks like he can mix well anywhere!"

In front of the TV, the Flashstar players just cheered for Hulai's goal and saw this scene again.

Some are still happy for Hu Lai's goal, but some suddenly feel lonely.

Although Hu Lai had been chatting with them in the WeChat group, it gave people an illusion that he never left.

But when I thought of that huge villa, two people were missing.

When they go back, they will be empty and deserted.

Only then did they realize that the previous lively days of training, competition, and frolicking together were gone forever.

Although it should be the time to be happy, Wang Guangwei couldn't help but sighed slightly.

Although the scene was very noisy, Zhang Qinghuan heard Wang Guangwei's soft sigh, and he raised his hand and patted Wang Guangwei on the shoulder: "Professional football is like this. There is always parting. It is impossible to be a teammate forever."

Wang Guangwei turned his head and looked at Zhang Qinghuan: "Brother Huan, will you also leave?"

Zhang Qinghuan was silent for a while and said, "I won't leave now."

That is to go later.

Wang Guangwei remained silent, not knowing what to say.

"Pharaoh, you can also go out in the future." Zhang Qinghuan said suddenly in silence.

"Huh?" Wang Guangwei was surprised.

"Go out and go to Europe. Like Hu Lai."

"But I am a guard..."

"Can defenders not be able to play abroad? The key is whether you want to play, not where you play." Zhang Qinghuan looked at Wang Guangwei, "Do you want to play abroad?"

"Who doesn't want this?"

"Then work towards that goal. We will all go to Europe in the future to find that **** Hu Lai."

Wang Guangwei did not speak, but thought about such a future.

He was a little moved.

Hesitated again: "But Shining Star..."

"Hey, this shouldn't be our consideration... Let Director Zhao annoy you!" Zhang Qinghuan waved his hand.

Wang Guangwei glanced at Zhao Kangming in the distance, and finally nodded, "Yes."

Xia Xiaoyu, who had been listening silently by the side, also said at this time: "I will also strive to go to Europe in the future!"

Morikawa Junpei: "Go together."

※※※

Qin Lin, who is already a member of Flash Star’s coaching staff, retracted his gaze from Zhang Qinghuan and the others, and said to Zhao Kangming: "Old Zhao, I feel that your way of getting everyone together to watch Hu Lai matches is not good for you. what……"

"How?" Zhao Kangming asked.

"I just saw the look of yearning in the eyes of several young people. I'm afraid it aroused their desire to go to Europe."

"Go and go, go if you have the patience. In fact, our country should have encouraged these young players to go abroad and play more abroad. What can they do if they are in the Super League?" Zhao Kangming hummed.

"Then you never thought about it. If Zhang Qinghuan, Wang Guangwei, Xia Xiaoyu, Morikawa Junpei are all gone, what shall we do if we flash?"

Zhao Kangming was stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head and said: "The old will not go and the new will not come. We can't keep them tied to the country because of the interests of the team, right? We will discover and train new players at that time. Now campus football also When it develops, Dai Zetao has sent us a lot of information about high school players... let's talk about it."

When he said that, he paused and looked at Qin Lin who was gloating with misfortune and smiled: "Don't you still have your son Xiaoqi?"

This time it was Qin Lin's turn to be surprised.

After the accident, he laughed helplessly: "Have you beaten my son so early?"

"Not only, earlier." Zhao Kangming smiled. "There are talents from generation to generation. As long as our country lays a solid foundation for youth training, how can the flashing stars in it be unused? And... there is Hu Lai. They have made a good start. Shining Star is now known for being able to train young people and giving young people the opportunity to play in Chinese football. I don’t know how many young players are willing to come to our Shining Star to play, even if the salary is slightly lower. no problem."

After hearing what Zhao Kangming said, Qin Lin said with emotion: "The times have really changed..."

In the past, the various sky-high prices in Chinese football made many young players unable to move their homes at all-who can easily make a lot of money in the country.

Now it is different. With the strict domestic salary limit policy, the good days of lying down and making big money like before are gone. Older players don't talk about it. But the thinking of the young players has changed accordingly.

Especially after seeing the impact of Hu Lai’s playing abroad, many young players are willing to temporarily give up their income at this stage. When planning their careers, they will consider more about a team that can give themselves opportunities and allow A team that grows on its own.

So Flash Star, a team that won the league championship with young people as a team, has naturally become a "sacred place" in the minds of many young players.

In the new season, Shining Star has recruited several young players not only from its own youth team, but also from other places, hoping to train one or two worthy players from them.

Tony Clark screamed the moment Hulay scored. He didn't rush out, but turned and hugged Sam Randyll, the assistant coach beside him.

"Sam! Did you see it?!" he yelled in the assistant coach's ear. "I told you, this is him! This is how he is best at scoring goals! Run to the open! Shoot! Goal!"

Sam nodded repeatedly: "I saw it, I saw it..."

He was a little uncomfortable by Clarke, and his voice was almost gone.

At this time Clark finally released him and turned to look at the area above the podium behind him.

He knew that the video analyst Matt Dawn was there to record the game and do the pre-collection work for the subsequent video analysis.

He also knew that the aloof Matt could see himself, so he shook his fist in that direction.

Matt saw Tony's fist.

He also waved to the bottom.

We finally brought him to Europe, Tony!

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"

Li Ziqiang accompanied his father-in-law and his mother-in-law to watch the game at home. When the picture of Hu Lai's goal appeared on the TV, before he could react, he heard the roar of the same community from outside the window.

And there was more than one sound, and in more than one place, similar shouts came from different directions in the community.

Beside him, the parents-in-law clapped their hands and applauded: "Okay, that's a nice boy!"

"Sure enough, you deserve to be the same name as our grandson's daughter!"

Li Ziqiang's emotions were very complicated, and he did not react for a while. His mother-in-law pushed him: "Silly? Did you never expect him to score in the first game?"

"It's... Mom, I never thought he could... score a goal."

"Hey, you are his enlightenment coach, how could you not expect him to score a goal? Have confidence in him." The mother-in-law complained about her son-in-law first, then smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Happy? It's okay, even if you laugh, this is the player you trained!" The mother-in-law smiled and patted Li Ziqiang's arm.

Turning his head to look at the happy mother-in-law, Li Ziqiang squeezed a smile from his face, then squeezed some more, and finally formed a set of smiles that I don't know if they count as a smile.

※※※

The plush doll in Li Qingqing's arms has been thrown aside by her. Now she is running around in a small living room with open arms, her long legs dexterously stepped over the dining chair, jumped onto the sofa, and on the soft sofa. Put one foot deep on the cushion and one foot shallow, and then jump onto the small wooden coffee table.

Finally, she jumped off the coffee table and knelt directly in front of the TV, looking at the figure surrounded by teammates on the screen.

Great, Hu Lai!

Great!

The light from the TV screen was reflected on the girl's face, as if her own face was shining.

There are hundreds of millions of stars in her eyes, all poured on that person.

In her sight, the Leeds players next to Hu Lai were gray and could not see their faces. The fans in the stands in the distance were also huddled together, like a stationary background painting.

Only Hu Lai is clear, colorful and vivid.

He looked back at the camera lens, his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate time and space, directly looking at the girl kneeling in front of the TV.

He laughed, with a brilliant smile.

PS, on the last day of January, I would like to ask everyone for a monthly pass, let’s rush up again!
