Fox in the Penalty Area

"In the 24th round of the English Premier League game that just ended, our player Hulay came off the bench in the second half of the Leeds game against Sidham... He played for Leeds in the 69th minute. He scored the goal against the Super League, which was his first goal in the Premier League. It was also the first goal of a Chinese player in the Premier League... With Hulay’s goal, Leeds finally played at his home court. Defeated Sydenham 2:1 and scored a valuable three-pointer."

As soon as the game ended, this news appeared in the evening news bulletin of CCTV Sports Channel.

But in fact, before the end of the game, the news that Hu Lai scored was posted on the Internet.

Those non-fans who do not watch the ball can also know through the Internet that Hu Lai scored in his Premier League debut.

The animated pictures or videos of the goal were quickly everywhere on the Internet and were madly forwarded.

With the emergence of Hu Lai, many Chinese people seem to have re-acquainted football as the world's No. 1 sport. They used to think football deserves to be the No. 1 sport? The influence is far from being the best in the world, right?

No one will raise such questions now.

"The only regret, if only Hu Lai's ball was a world wave..."

"What does the upstairs think? How can there be so many world waves? It's fine to score goals, no matter how he scores!"

"Yes, this is a very typical'Hulai goal'. I think it's perfect for his first goal in the Premier League."

"Unfortunately only one got in...

"Haha, not enough greedy. It's fine to score a goal, and the water flows slowly. If I can score one goal in every game, I am happy too!"

"Yes! The important thing is that zero breakthroughs are made. There are zero and innumerable goals. As long as there is one goal, there will be more goals in the future! At this point, I am against Hu Lai Have 100% confidence!"

...

The Internet is full of comments like this. Before Hu Lai played, everyone was most concerned about when Hu Lai played. After Hulai scored a goal, everyone began to feel that one goal was too few and the goal was not good enough...

It's not really asking for Hu Lai, but everyone's ardent hope for Hu Lai.

When Hu Lai entered the locker room, he heard the cheers and applause of his teammates.

"Congratulations, Hu! Goal in his debut!"

"Yeah yeah, perfect debut!"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone!"

Hu Lai thanked his teammates one by one, and then he walked up to Pete Williams who assisted him. The latter seemed to have guessed what he was going to do, so he raised his hand: "Don't thank me, I just saw There was a gap there, so you passed the football, and you just ran there..."

Hu Lai didn't care about his arrogant look, so he hugged him, laughed and scratched his hair: "That just shows that we have a tacit understanding!"

is not that right?

[Lingxi Card] There are still two games valid.

After pushing Hu Lai forcefully, Williams glared at this man, not liking his familiar approach. But the latter didn't care about his attitude at all, and turned around to hug other teammates.

Captain Lorenzo approached him with a smile and said: "I have observed carefully during the game, you and Hu really have a tacit understanding..."

Williams hummed: "Captain, he and I have just been training together for a month. Where does the tacit understanding come from?"

Lorenzo frowned: "That's weird, I clearly saw it in both of you... Let's talk about the ball, you didn't actually look back at all before you passed the ball, you just passed it..."

Then he raised his brows and his eyes lit up: "Could it be that the tacit understanding between you two is innate?"

Williams decided to ignore the captain and talk nonsense.

What else is "inborn"? An Englishman and a Chinese, I have never seen or heard of them in the first 20 years of my life. Where did they come from?

We are not long-lost brothers...

※※※

Hu Lai, who had changed clothes in the locker room, was called out, this time to be interviewed.

Chinese and British reporters are waiting for him.

They have many questions to ask.

"How does it feel to score on your debut, Hu Lai?"

"Very good, great, wonderful!"

"Have you ever thought that you will score a goal in this game?"

"That really never thought..."

"Hu, as the first Chinese player to score a goal in the Premier League, do you have anything to say?"

"I feel very honored and very happy. Being able to score goals in the Premier League is a very precious experience. I hope that more and more such experiences will happen in the future!"

"Your goal helped Leeds City, who are being relegated, get a valuable three-pointer. What do you think of the team's prospects for relegation?"

"I'm here to help the team relegation. It's not me. My experience in this area can be said to be very rich!"

"We noticed the action you celebrated with everyone after scoring. Your relationship with your new teammates seems to be very good?"

"Yes, the new teammates are very good to me, everyone is actively helping me to integrate into the team. I am very happy, choosing to join Leeds City is a right decision..."

"Last question, Hu Lai. Today is the first day of the new year. Your goal is very important to all the Chinese fans who follow you. So what else do you want to say to the Chinese fans in front of the TV? ?"

"I'm very happy to score a goal in the game. It's a Spring Festival gift for you all!" Hu Lai bowed his hands to the camera, "I will continue to work hard. Today's goal is just the beginning. Will not disappoint everyone's expectations and high expectations for me, thank you!"

Then he turned and left as the reporters watched him.

There he met the team's head coach Tony Clark, and saw the latter hug Hu Lai, almost holding his neck under his armpit, pulling away.

The two seem to be less like a coach and a player, but more like a pair of very familiar friends.

The Chinese reporters who saw this scene all laughed and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

With the recognition of the coach, they shouldn't have to worry about Hu Lai's situation in this team, right?

When Hu Lai chose Leeds instead of the King of Madrid and Catalonia, many of these Chinese journalists felt sorry for Hu Lai. After all, as long as Hu Lai agrees, he will become the first player in Chinese football history to join the world's top giants.

Think about it, what a scenery it is!

But Hu Lai did not go, instead came to this Premier League relegation team.

When the news was just announced, many people on the Internet couldn't understand it, and some people scolded Anton Star Club for ruining the future of a talented player for money.

Later, Hulay stood up and explained that he meant to go to Leeds and was not forced by the club.

Even so, there are still people who think that Hu Lai was under pressure from the club, and then came out to explain and protect the club's face.

Now everyone looks at Hu Lai's experience after joining Leeds, and we have to admit that Hu Lai's choice is very correct.

Going to a big team is not only as simple as not being able to play in a short time, but you may even be unable to stay in the big team. It is fine to be loaned out. In case you throw it to the second team to exercise... What is that?

Is our top scorer in the Super League only worthy of the second team?

In Leeds, the club takes it seriously. Teammates are also much easier to get along with than the superstars of the giants. The coach trusts and appreciates Hu Lai...This is the most suitable first stop for Hu Lai to land in Europe.

Take root in Leeds with peace of mind, and then bloom.

Every Chinese reporter who looked at Hu Lai's back had such blessings in his heart.

When Hu Lai picked up the phone again, the new message on WeChat was about to explode.

In addition to congratulations from friends in the Friends group while eating lemons, there were many others. The scene was like seeing him off from Dongsheng International Airport in Jincheng.

His mother also sent him several photos, a family portrait with a large number of people. Hu Lai easily recognized his grandpa, grandma, uncle, uncle...

There are still some people who are supposed to be relatives, but Hu Lai can't recognize them well and can't match his childhood memories. After all, he hadn't seen them for a long time.

But looking at the smiles on everyone's faces, I thought that my mother should get back to her natal relatives, right?

Hu Lai felt a little more relaxed.

He didn't like to mix things with the older generation. He actually knew about the conflicts between his mother, grandpa, and uncle, but he didn't care about it. Because it's useless to control it.

As long as there is no problem with his mother, he will be fine.

Seeing that mom and dad had such a lively Spring Festival, Hu Lai, who was far away in the UK, was naturally very relieved. Don't worry, the two of them "kept alone" in the huge house.

My mother obviously thinks the same way. She knows what her son is worried about, so below the photo, she also said: "Son, we spent the Spring Festival this year at your grandfather in Jincheng. We gathered together and watched at your uncle's house. You play, cheer for you. Don’t worry about our affairs, just train and compete over there, continue to win glory for the country, have you heard?"

Hu Lai smiled when he saw the big paragraph sent by his mother, and then replied: "I see, Mom. Happy Chinese New Year!"

My mother didn't reply to him immediately after sending it out, she was probably busy celebrating with her relatives.

Hu Lai withdrew and looked around among the other people congratulating him, but didn't see Li Qingqing's portrait.

Didn’t you watch me play?

Just as Hu Lai frowned slightly, thinking about the possibilities, his phone rang.

"...No one told you to give up, let alone make a life awkward. The thinner the more you have to resist, until the end, no one can stop..."

Caller: Li Qingqing.

Hu Lai answered the phone: "Hey, why are you calling?"

"I think your WeChat must have exploded now. I'm afraid you won't see my message to you, so I just called." Li Qingqing's voice on the other side was like a silver bell, "Congratulations, Hu Lai! Show first ball, perfect!"

"Ha, thank you, thank you! Did you watch me play?"

"Nonsense, I can finally watch your game. You don't know how difficult it is to watch your game in France when you were playing in China... I couldn't see it at all! "

When Li Qingqing said this, Hu Lai could completely imagine the expression of the girl rolling her eyes and talking on the other side of the phone.

So he laughed and laughed out loud.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Ah, nothing..." Hu Lai thought of the photo sent by his mother just now, and changed the subject, "How did you spend the Spring Festival?"

"Watching you play."

"Aren't you training today?"

"This morning the club held a Chinese New Year event. There is no training in the afternoon, so I will watch your game at home..."

"Oh. Li Qingqing." After Hu Lai finished reciting the name, he paused and didn't continue.

"Huh?" Li Qingqing murmured softly after a daze on the other end of the phone.

"Happy Chinese New Year."

There was another short silence, and laughter came from the earpiece: "Happy Chinese New Year, Hu Lai."

※※※

Putting down the phone, Li Qingqing stared down at the hacked mobile phone screen.

In fact, when Hu Lai suddenly called her name just now, she didn't know why, and she became nervous for no reason.

I don't know why I'm nervous, I don't know what's so nervous, but I'm nervous.

So when she answered, her voice was small and weak.

I don’t know if that would make me look particularly embarrassed...

The plush doll that was thrown aside was grabbed back by her and hugged it on her chest again. She sat cross-legged on the sofa and shook her body slightly, shaking her ponytail.

PS, give everyone an early year in advance!

On the last day of January, everyone turned over again, and all monthly tickets were voted for the fox in the restricted area!

Thank you, thank you!
