Fox in the Penalty Area

"Can you tell me what kind of person Hu Lai is?"

After Danny Drew finished asking, he saw the smile on Chen Xingyi's face froze, so he asked again strangely: "Uh, what's the matter? Do you two have conflicts? I thought you were teammates of the Chinese team. We should get to know each other better..."

Chen Xingyi came back to his senses, and quickly waved his hands to explain: "No, no, you think too much, it's not that there is a contradiction. I just don't know how to tell you...you ask what kind of person he is, sometimes I don't know what kind of person he is. I don't know what kind of person he is... In short, he is a very complicated... person."

"Complicated people? Of course, people are very complicated..." Drew nodded, expressing his understanding.

Chen Xingyi shook his head: "No, Danny. It may be a bit different from the 'complex' you understand."

Drew looked at Chen Xingyi with wide eyes again, but this time he was not trying to be malicious, but really puzzled.

"How should I put it... A very common thing will give you two completely different meanings when you say it from someone else's mouth, and it will give you two completely different meanings, even if he and others actually mean the same thing..."

Small question marks began to appear in Drew's wide eyes.

"Sometimes you think he means one thing, but he means another. Sometimes you think he means another, but he means this. Sometimes you think he means this Meaning, he did mean this, but you still can't help but wonder if he meant something else..."

"Stop." Drew couldn't help raising his hand to stop Chen Xingyi from continuing, "You let me... think about it."

Chen Xingyi stopped talking, but lowered his head to eat his lunch.

The lunch provided by the club tastes very good, and it is not like the few things that professional players eat all day long.

Steak, French fries, broccoli, baked beans...

He skillfully used knives, forks and spoons, ignoring Drew who seemed to be down on the opposite side.

After a while, Drew seemed to have finally recovered from the stop responding: "This meaning, that meaning... From what you said, Hu is indeed a very complicated person..."

Chen Xingyi looked down at the almost eaten steak on the plate, and sighed: "Danny, let me give you a piece of advice."

"Hey, tell me."

"If... I mean if,

If one day you meet Hu in a game, remember to wear sound-proof earplugs to the game. "

Drew was taken aback for a moment, and then he grinned: "Ha! Xing, you are so funny! Why?"

"Because Hu will talk to you."

"You want to chat with me? Are you talking trash? Don't worry, Xing. I won't talk to him." Drew shook his head and said confidently, "But I won't wear earplugs on stage, so I You can no longer hear the shouts of your teammates and the whistle of the referee."

Chen Xingyi really wanted to say, "Even if you ignore him, I'm afraid it won't help", but after thinking about it, it was too troublesome to explain, so he didn't say anything at all.

"Well, that's fine." He nodded perfunctorily, and then changed the subject: "Why do you suddenly want to know him?"

"Isn't this going to Paris to participate in the best young player award in Europe? I should meet him there, like asking what kind of person he is..."

Chen Xingyi suddenly realized.

The 22-year-old Danny Drew was also selected as a shortlist of ten candidates for the European Best Young Player Award this time, so he will also go to Paris.

This can be regarded as a grand event for the top group of young players in Europe.

It just has nothing to do with me...

Chen Xingyi felt a little sour.

He has nothing to do with this grand event in his life.

Because he has reached the age of twenty-three, he is no longer eligible to enter the shortlist.

In fact, not only is he gone, Luo Kai, Wang Guangwei and brother Huan are also gone.

But he was still a little frustrated.

He is not comforted by the fact that someone is like him. After all, no matter what other people are, what matters is whether he has it himself.

He didn't.

The person who fought him inextricably in the finals of the national competition had left him farther and farther away now.

Chen Xingyi sighed in his heart and buried his head in eating.

※※※

Eldrea's home stadium, Columbus Stadium, was full of voices.

The second round of the Serie A is underway.

Eldrea hosts Ferenc.

The strength of the two teams is close, so the game is very tangled.

Wang Guangwei and his manager Shan Daosheng sat in the stands to watch the game live.

Surrounded by excited and frenzied Eldrea fans.

They were wearing Eldrea's red and blue striped shirts, waving Eldrea's red and blue color-block scarves in their hands, and they were singing songs cheering for the team in unison in the stands.

During the game, Eldrea, who was playing at home, took the initiative and was constantly attacking Ferenc's goal.

But the score is still 0:0.

"As expected of the 'New Bernie' Albertazzi..." Shan Daosheng sighed towards the playing field. "Eldrea has shot so many times that he couldn't shoot through his goal."

On the field, in front of Ferenc's goal, a tall young goalkeeper was getting up from the ground with a very calm expression on his face.

It doesn't look like he's just pulled off an extreme save - a header from Eldrea striker Felipe Ziglossi from close range over the bar...

You must know that Ziglossi is not an ordinary header. He took off on the spot from the small penalty area line, which was already very close. He also hit a bouncing ball - the football flew to the ground, bounced back and shot towards the goal.

This kind of ball is often very difficult to beat.

Ziglossi's header is of a high level, and he deserves to be a former Italian international.

But Ferenc's first-choice goalkeeper, Mauro Albertazzi, made an incredible save as he waved the ball over the bar almost on reflex.

When Zigrossi headed the goal, the Eldrea fans thought the goal had been scored, so the cheers exploded in the stands.

Who would have thought that the ball would be saved by Albertazzi immediately after...

The cheers turned into sighs of regret in an instant, and the scene was quite spectacular.

"How else can I be selected for the ten-man shortlist for the European Best Young Player Award?" Wang Guangwei said next to him.

Mauro Albertazzi, a talented goalkeeper trained by Ferenc, is currently being snapped up by the Italian giants. It is estimated that this season will be his last season in Ferenc...

At the age of seventeen, Albertazzi played the main force in Ferencz, and was selected for the Italian national team at the age of eighteen. If it weren't for the fact that the current main goalkeeper of the Italian national team, Andrew Burnie, is too stable, Albertazzi can even represent Italy in this summer's World Cup as the main goalkeeper. Almost everyone thinks that in terms of strength alone, Albertazzi is no longer there Legendary Italian goalkeeper Andrew Burnie is out.

And Andrew Burney has also announced his withdrawal from the national team after this World Cup.

If nothing else, Albertazzi will become Italy's main goalkeeper in the two national team games in September.

Nineteen-year-old Italian national...

"In China, our players under the age of 23 still need to rely on the mandatory requirements of the Football Association's policies to get the chance to play in the middle and super teams... In Europe, they can already become the main force of the national team at the age of 19..." Wang Guangwei sighed One sound, "This gap!"

"It can't be helped. Who told us to start late? How many generations have they accumulated?" Shan Daosheng comforted him, "And didn't Hu Lai help us win this year? The best young player award this time basically It’s his, and it’s gone. This is not only the first in China, but also the first in Asia. When Park Chun-tae was playing in Europe, he was only on the shortlist and didn’t win the final prize. It’s really cool when you think about it Incredible……"

Speaking of this, Shan Daosheng also sighed: "Our Chinese players can actually overwhelm these European and American geniuses. Before I let it go, I must have thought it was a daydream..."

Wang Guangwei smiled and said, "Because he is Hu Lai, I'm not too surprised."

While the two were talking, Albertazzi jumped into the air again on the court, directly grabbing Eldrea's long-range shot in his hands-not even giving him a chance to make up the shot.

Eldrea's attack came back in vain again.

"Oh... I don't know if I have entered the candidate list, but I feel that Albertazzi is very excited today..." Shan Daosheng said with emotion.

Thinking of Hu Lai, Wang Guangwei curled his lips: "It's useless to be excited, I'm destined to run with you."

In fact, Albertazzi was selected as a shortlist of ten candidates for the European Best Young Player Award last year, but did not win the final award.

Enter again this year.

But it's still hard to win.

The position of goalkeeper is difficult to get this kind of honor, because offensive players are more eye-catching.

Fortunately, he is still young enough to have a chance.

After all, he was only nineteen years old and became the main goalkeeper of the national team...

※※※

"Being the main goalkeeper of the national team at the age of 19? What's so great about it? I was only 20 years old when I defended the national team in the World Cup. Did I spread the word? I didn't. Am I proud? Nor did I .Nineteen-year-old 'will' be the main player in the national team... Tch!"
