Fox in the Penalty Area

Li Qingqing opened the door of her house. Before he raised his hand and knocked on the door next door, he heard the sound of the TV coming from the door.

The sound is very loud, and with the 7.1-channel audio, Li Qingqing feels like this door is not an ordinary anti-theft door, but an "any door". After opening it, it was not Hu Lai’s home that led to the Pasadena Stadium in Los Angeles.

She was worried that she would not be able to hear the gentle knock on the door, thanking auntie, but when she was about to knock hard, she saw a crack in the door—the door was not closed!

Aunt Xie is so considerate!

Li Qingqing admired Hu Lai's delicacy in her heart, then opened the door and jumped in, and at the same time greeted loudly: "Good morning uncle and aunt!"

Hu Lixin, who was helping to clean up the dishes in the dining room, saw Li Qingqing and laughed: "Good morning, Qingqing."

He only said half of what he said, and the remaining half was drowned out by the sound from the TV...

So he looked at the kitchen helplessly: "Why are you turning on the TV so loudly? I can't hear normal speech!"

"What do you know!" Xie Lan's voice floated out of the kitchen, "This is a'signal' for Qingqing. Then she knows that we are up when she hears the voice, lest she will get up tomorrow morning like the first game. , But didn't knock on our door!"

"Everyone is here! I'm going to turn down the voice... I'll shout with my throat when I talk!" Hu Lixin said as he put down the dishes, wiped his hands on the waist and walked to the coffee table. .

Xie Lan heard her husband say that Li Qingqing was here, and couldn't take care of washing the dishes. She ran out of the kitchen and saw Li Qingqing standing in the house, looking inside.

Seeing her like this, Xie Lan beamed with joy, and quickly waved at her: "Oh, Qingqing is here!"

Li Qingqing saw Xie Lan greeted again: "Good morning Aunt Xie!"

Hu Lixin walked to the coffee table and picked up the remote control, raised his eyes to find the volume button, and pressed it. The sound on the TV suddenly became much quieter, and Xie Lan's greeting became much clearer:

"Good, good morning... have you eaten yet?"

"I ate at home." Li Qingqing replied with a smile.

"Ahhhhhhhh, I'm seeing you. You and your dad will come over to eat together. The buns we ate this morning, thank you Auntie who just wrapped them last night, the big buns with beef vermicelli filling, and sweet potato porridge. They are very sweet! "Speaking of this, Xie Lan remembered something, and hurriedly walked back to the kitchen, pulled out the fresh-keeping bag, and said as he walked: "By the way, you guys can get some back after watching the ball in a while, it's delicious, really! Hu! Lai used to like my buns the most..."

"No need, Auntie Xie..."

Xie Lan glared at her, "Thank you, Auntie, why are you polite! I will install four for you...very big, one full!"

Then she opened the refrigerator door, took out four big buns from the inside, and put them in a fresh-keeping bag. Put the bag in the refrigerator again: "After watching the ball for a while, take it away. I know that professional players are particular about eating, but it's impossible for you to eat these things when you go to France. Just go back to your country and eat something like this, it won't get in the way..."

Li Qingqing looked at the big bun with a big sand bowl, no longer declined, and nodded: "Then thank you, Auntie."

"Eh-the family doesn't talk about two things!"

Xie Lan was very happy to see Li Qingqing accepted.

"Where is your father?" she asked again.

"He's still washing the dishes and tidying up."

"Okay. Then you will watch TV for a while, and Auntie has to clean up..." Xie Lan beckoned and turned and went into the kitchen.

Hu Lixin also came back from the living room, put away the tableware on the table and put it into the kitchen: "Qingqing, you can order it yourself."

Li Qingqing nodded, and sat on the sofa alone, watching TV.

The TV picture is an aerial shot of the Pasadena Stadium in Los Angeles. Seen from the air, the Pasadena Stadium without any roof is like a horse's hoof print on the ground by a giant horse. Four-fifths of the place is surrounded by stands, and only one-fifth of the place is a "gap"-it is a ten-story building. The news hall and VIP boxes of the stadium are all inside, and the top of the building is a large screen and billboards.

This particular top view is the most famous symbol of the Los Angeles Pasadena Stadium. Because it resembles a horseshoe, it is also known as the "Horseshoe Bowl". It is a famous football venue in the United States.

In this World Cup, the "Horseshoe Bowl" took the lead as the venue for the World Cup opener.

The entire stadium stands appeared unobstructed under the shroud of the evening sun, leaving a very deep impression on people.

Because this stadium has no stands at all, the game at one o'clock in the afternoon is a test for the fans and spectators watching the game here.

Fortunately, the match between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team was at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Although the sky was bright at this time, the sun was slanting and there was no direct shot on the stadium or stands. Both the players and the fans will feel much better.

Looking from the air now, the stadium stands are all red. I don’t know if the Chinese fans filled it up, or because the stands in Pasadena were originally red...

Then the screen turned around and cut to the empty dressing room.

It is the locker room of the Chinese team.

The first thing that catches the eye is a neatly folded red jersey.

The yellow number and name on the back of the jersey face up:

14

HU

It is the jersey of Hu Lai, the top star of the Chinese team!

At the same time, a voice-over sounded on the TV: "The Chinese team’s bus has departed from the hotel where it is staying and is approaching the Pasadena Stadium... Today, the Pasadena Stadium is full of seats, most of which are Chinese fans... What you see now is the inside of the Chinese team's changing room. All the players' jerseys have been folded and placed on their corresponding seats. After a while, the Chinese players will change their clothes here to welcome them this World Cup. The strongest opponent..."

※※※

"I won't say too much." Shi Wuyin stood in the locker room, and said to the internationals who have changed their jerseys and are ready to play. "Tactically, all that should be said is finished... Let me just say: This is our last group match. There is no need to go to the game with pressure and baggage. No matter what the final result is, it does not matter, as long as you are able to compete in this game. It’s enough to try your best to show your best in China. So... enjoy football, enjoy the World Cup, boys!"

He really said that, and then retired after speaking.

Team leader Hong Renjie went on to stand up: "I will only say one thing: You have already reached the level of style in this World Cup! You have proved that we Chinese... can also play football well!"

There was applause and applause from everyone in the dressing room.

In the applause, assistant coach Li Zhifei yelled: "Now let's play!"

The locker room door was opened and everyone filed out towards the exit of the passage.

When they were at the last intersection, they met the Brazilian players coming from the opposite direction.

Both sides looked at each other.

What surprised the Brazilian players was that when the Chinese team saw them, the expressions on their faces were very relaxed, and even faintly...excited.

This reminded them of what the head coach Marcos Herner told them in the locker room just now: "I repeat: The Chinese team is not just one Hu! They are a whole! If you can't be in the game at all times Remember this, you will be unlucky! I am not scaring you!"

When the head coach says so, some individual players still don't take it seriously.

But after seeing the expressions of the Chinese team players, many of them were awe-inspiring-to be able to have such an expression, it is not at all like the new army participating in the World Cup for the first time!

※※※

Kabangka and Lemos walked towards the most eye-catching figure in the Chinese team.

"Hu!"

The two of them walked up to Hu Lai and greeted him.

Hu Lai, who was talking to his teammates, turned around and saw the two people. He laughed and cut them directly into English: "Ha! This is the first time I have met an acquaintance in the league in the World Cup!"

The previous Algeria and Russian teams had no players playing for Premier League teams, so Kabangka, who played in Manchester Athletic, and Lemos, who played in Stan Park Rangers, naturally became the two most familiar people in Hulay. .

Lemos shrugged: "I'm not here to talk to you, Hu. I won't let you score a goal in this game!"

When Hu Lai heard the words, he pulled Chen Xingyi who was standing next to him and patted the latter's shoulder hard: "You made a mistake, Lemos. The main attacker of our Chinese team in this game is him. We are ours. The head coach of Japan knows that you will be strictly guarding me, so I played soy sauce all the time in this game-which means watching the show-he is our main scoring player!"

Chen Xingyi, who was pulled over, was confused, but still understood Hu Lai's English. He just wanted to refute, when he saw Hu Lai winking at him, he quickly made a proud look. That meant as if to say "Yes, two big brothers, I am the trump card of the Chinese team! Hu Lai's scum is only for me to applaud and cheer!"

But Kabangka smiled: "Don't be kidding, Hu. I know you have a lot of nonsense, do you think such a low-level deception can make us fool?"

Hu Lai was shocked when he heard this, and his face changed: "Who is talking about me?! When did I tell a lie? Don't you know that in China, they all call me the ‘honest person’?"

When Hu Lai finished performing, Kabangka shook his head and said: "It doesn’t matter, Hu. For us, the opponent in this game is the entire Chinese team, not you alone. So whether it’s you or your teammates, we Both will go all out..."

Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Hu Lai asked, "How is your recovery from injury, Kabangka?"

Kabangka did not expect that Hu Lai would suddenly care about his injury. In the Premier League last season, he missed for a long time due to injury, which caused Manchester Athletic to lose the chain in the league, and finally only got third place, early missed the championship and runner-up.

He thought that Hu Lai was fighting him psychologically, so he said: "Completely healed. I feel that my physical condition is very good now, so don't have any luck..."

But before he finished speaking, he saw Hu Lai on the opposite side smiling: "That's good."

"That's good?" Kabangka was a little surprised. Shouldn't they hope that they have not been injured well, so that they can't perform at their best level?

Hu Lai was surprised when he saw him and explained with a smile: "Our head coach said, in the last group match, if you can't play against the strongest Brazil team, you will come to the World Cup for nothing. So I heard that you were injured It’s over, I’m very happy to be able to go all out. We have come a long way, but we are not here to make green leaves for you."

※※※

Players from both sides lined up in the channel, waiting for the referee team to lead them out.

The little caddy looked up at Kabangka with a little excitement, this is Kendor Kabangka, the world-famous! A Brazilian genius with the same name as Meli Banega!

In a while, he will be led by this person to the court and appear in front of spectators all over the world.

Kabangka noticed the little caddy's eyes, and he lowered his head and smiled at the opponent.

An expression of joy appeared on the face of the greatly inspired little caddy.

Kabangka raised his head, his smile disappeared, revealing a pensive look.

He was still thinking about what Hu Lai said to him just now.

——We have come a long way, but we are not here to make green leaves for you.

He turned his gaze to the 14th of the Chinese team standing in the team~www.novelmt.com~ Is he pretending, playing mystery, or...

In the TV broadcast, the telephoto lens came in from the entrance of the player channel, focusing on Kabangka's face.

In the camera, he stared at the fuzzy figure diagonally in front of him.

The broadcast camera switched the focus point, and the figure in the front gradually became clear, and it was Hu Lai of the Chinese team that Kabangka was staring at.

He was completely unaware of the gaze after he came, just looking ahead, the direction of the camera.

It is also the direction of the arena.

PS, sorry to keep everyone waiting for a long time, three more from tomorrow!
