Fox in the Penalty Area

The Pirate Park Stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 people, is a magnificent building located in the south of Madrid.

Unlike many teams whose home courts are exclusively in the open suburbs, the Pirates Park Stadium is in a residential area.

The gray exterior walls make the building look like a huge factory building.

It blends perfectly with the rust-colored brick walls of the surrounding houses. Although it is large, it is not obtrusive at all.

But also because the stadium is built in a residential area, there is a serious shortage of parking spaces around it.

Therefore, if Pirates fans want to watch the game live, the best mode of transportation is definitely not to drive by themselves, but to choose public transportation, such as buses and subways.

Or park your car in several parking lots about two kilometers away from the stadium, and then walk through the residential area to finally arrive at the stadium.

Every time a game is played, the dozens of streets radiating out from the Pirates Park stadium will be overcrowded, blocked by Pirates fans wearing blue jerseys.

Today is not a game day, and there are also a large number of Pirates fans on the road outside the Pirates Park Stadium.

There are also people carrying the five-star red flag, which is particularly conspicuous in the blue crowd and can be seen from afar.

These people all went to the Pirates Park Stadium to participate in the joining ceremony of Hu Lai.

The stadium, which can usually accommodate 80,000 people, still looks empty even if 20,000 people pour in.

But in the eyes of Song Jiajia and Hu Lai, this is already a very good scene.

At least it was much better than when Hu Lai went to Leeds when only two hundred people came to welcome him.

Hu Lai, who was in the lounge and saw the situation outside through the TV broadcast, said to Song Jiajia: "It's strange, I have never met the Madrid Pirates before, why do they seem to like me?"

He pointed to a Spaniard in the close-up and said that the bearded Spanish uncle, wearing a Madrid Pirates jersey, held a piece of cardboard in his hand, with a sentence written on it with a marker pen: "To Hu Lai from Socialist China pay tribute!"

"Look, fat man, good guy, even this is here..."

Song Jiajia laughed and said, "Do you know that you are from the Madrid Pirates team?"

"I know,

Workers' team. But football itself is a sport of the working class. Isn’t it because the UK was the first country to complete the industrial revolution that modern football was born in the UK? Football is the most popular sport among workers..." Hu Lai said. "But after more than a hundred years, who still mentions the history of that year? Isn't the Madrid Pirates also a giant now? "

"Determining whether it is a wealthy team has a lot to do with performance. The Madrid Pirates have always been a very combative team in history, so they can win many championships...the working class is very combative." Song Jiajia said. "Most of their fans are workers in Madrid. Maybe this uncle is a member of the Western Communist Party?"

"So they welcome me for that reason?"

Song Jiajia shook her head: "Definitely not, such people are still a minority. More Madrid Pirates fans welcome you, just because I heard that you rejected the King of Madrid twice in a row. They and the King of Madrid are mortal enemies, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend. So you are 'one of your own' in the eyes of many Madrid Pirates fans."

"Oh..." Hu Lai sighed with emotion. "I didn't expect that I had such an easy start. I thought what was waiting for me was a hell start that the fans didn't accept, the coach didn't like, and the teammates hated..."

When he transferred to Leeds City before, he was implicated because of the grievances between the fans and the club's top management, and he was not liked by most Leeds City fans.

Song Jiajia said with a smile: "These you mentioned are all the treatment of the protagonist of the novel, how can I let you meet again and again?"

Hu Lai heard the words: "Hey fat man, if you want to say that, doesn't it mean that the elbow is the protagonist?"

Song Jiajia was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

He knew why Hu Lai said that. Just yesterday, a British reporter interviewed Zhou Zijing and wanted to hear what he thought of Hu Lai's departure from the team. The words came out:

"I will try my best to make Leeds City fans forget about Hu Lai!"

Good guy, like stabbing a hornet's nest, many Leeds City fans on the Internet have turned against the sky.

If Leeds City hadn't returned to Leeds, I'm afraid Zhou Zijing would be scolded by Leeds City fans at the entrance of the training base...

Before making his debut at the Flanders Stadium, Zhou Zijing has been listed as "unwelcome" by many Leeds City fans.

This opening is indeed hell-level, and it is more difficult than Hu Lai's opening.

After laughing, Song Jiajia said to Hu Lai: "Shouldn't you express your opinion on this matter? Don't make things too rigid. After all, you are partners in the national team. After saving some face, we can meet each other..."

Hu Lai nodded: "How could it be frustrating? I support that kid."

"Huh?" Song Jiajia was a little surprised.

"He is right. We must try to make Leeds City forget me, otherwise how can he succeed in Leeds City? I still want to fight for the World Cup. If I am surrounded by a partner who dare not even step on my shadow, I will What a fart World Cup!" Hu Lai said to Song Jiajia.

Song Jiajia was already in a daze.

※※※

"... This afternoon, under the witness of 20,000 fans at the Pirates Park, Hu made his official debut for the Madrid Pirates. His transfer created a record for the transfer fee of a player sold by the Leeds City Club, and also created a record for the transfer of players from the Madrid Pirates Club Transfer fee record... he wore the blue jersey of the Madrid Pirates and showed his number to 20,000 fans..."

The shouts of fans on the scene came from the TV.

David Miller, who was watching TV, felt panting in his heart.

"Only 20,000 people? Look at this empty stadium, are the Madrid Pirates fans so dishonest?" He snorted. "I'm ashamed to say that I'm a rich man!"

His son, Matthew, who was sitting in the distance, complained: "Dad, when he came to our place, fans who were only in his early 200s went to the scene to welcome him!"

David Miller was speechless, speechless.

He could only stare at his son fiercely: "It's the same as you said!"

Unexpectedly, the son said: "I went! I also got a football signed by Hu!"

David Miller realized that this really happened. That football is still on his son's desk, cherished by him...

"Damn!" he cursed under his breath.

But he soon found someone else to vent his anger on.

"Tomorrow I'm going to go outside the training base to scold Zhou! Who does he think he is? He just came to the team and didn't perform at all, so he dared to look down on Hu! What did he say to make us forget Hu...to be his daytime Big dream! We will never forget Hu! He will always be a Leeds hero! "Hu Song" will be sung over and over again at the Flanders Stadium!"

Today the whole Leeds City team has finished their training camp and warm-up match in Germany, and they all flew back to Leeds City in the evening.

All the players will go to the training base tomorrow.

This naturally also includes Zhou Zijing, who joined the new team.

Little Matthew didn't complain about his father this time, because deep in his heart he was also a little unhappy with what Zhou Zijing said back then.

He has feelings for Hu Lai, but he doesn't have feelings for Zhou Zijing just because Zhou Zijing and Hu Lai are both Chinese.

For all Leeds City fans, Zhou Zijing wearing a Leeds City jersey is no different from an outsider. But Hu Lai, who has already transferred, is still like a member of Leeds City...

Little Matthew didn't approve of his father running to scold the players, but he wouldn't stop him either.

After all... what does Zhou Zijing have to do with him?

At this moment, the style of the TV news changed, and it was cut to the scene of Hu Lai attending the press conference before attending the welcoming ceremony.

The newscaster continued: "At the meeting, a reporter from England asked Hu what he thought of Zhou's remarks..."

The people in front of the TV suddenly fell silent and pricked up their ears.

Then came the soundtrack. A reporter asked Hu Lai in English: "Zhou said that he would try to make Leeds fans forget you. What do you think of his words?"

※※※

"Fuck, British paparazzi, British paparazzi, it really is a dog!"

Zhou Shenghai cursed while watching the news on his mobile phone.

He was drawn in by the news headline:

"Zhou Zijing uttered wild words, but Hu Lai actually said that!"

say what?

Why don't you write it in the title for me!

Click on the news to see, it’s video news, and then click on the video, the phone reminds me to open another app to watch the video news, if you don’t have it installed, you have to download it...

If it wasn't because he really wanted to know how Hu Lai would react to his son's words, Zhou Shenghai really wanted to click "Cancel".

But he still jumped to the video app honestly and watched the video news.

Soon he heard the question from the British reporter:

"Zhou said that he would try his best to make Leeds City fans forget you. What do you think of his words?"

Zhou Shenghai cursed loudly.

This British reporter is not a thing!

This is obviously to sow dissension, add oil and vinegar, watching the excitement is no big deal!

Since his idiot son said that sentence, Zhou Shenghai now hopes that the public will forget about it completely and there will be no discussion.

Whether in China or in the UK, his son has become the target of many people's attacks, and if it continues to simmer, he is afraid that the situation will get out of hand and eventually become a huge pressure that will completely overwhelm his son.

He personally spent a lot of energy and entrusted a lot of personal favors to let some domestic sports reporters say a few good words for his son in the media and on the Internet.

For example, "Zhou Zijing's words were taken out of context by unscrupulous Western reporters. What he really meant was that he hoped that he could behave like Hu Lai."

However, this explanation was overwhelmed by Hu Lai's fans.

They mocked: "As good? Can it be as good as Hu Lai? Well, let Zhou Zijing lead Leeds City to win the Premier League and the Europa League!"

This really left Zhou Shenghai speechless.

My son knows that if the Premier League and Europa League titles are really easy to win, he might as well win them himself!

What do you call this!

Zhou Shenghai could only beat his chest and scold his son.

From high school to professional stage, I have been with my son. As a result, this time, his son went to Germany to train with the team. He didn't follow, and he did such a stupid thing...

Alas, unlucky family!

Zhou Shenghai, who was scolding in his heart, was still staring at the phone screen, wanting to hear what Hu Lai had to say.

To be honest, no matter what Hu Lai said, he admitted it. Who let Zhou Zijing provoke this matter?

It is reasonable for people to scold and complain...

In the picture, Hu Lai faced the reporter who asked the question, with a smile on his face: "When I said goodbye to my teammates in Leeds City, I told Zhou Zijing that he could live in my house in Leeds. Give him the cupboard of the best wine in the game and hope he fills it up."

He first told such a story that no one else knew, and then changed the subject: "As everyone knows, I am a player who can do nothing but score goals, which means I am highly dependent on my teammates. So I am very happy He can say that. Zhou Zijing is my teammate of the national team, and I hope that my teammates will become stronger, because only in this way can I be stronger, ha..."

Zhou Shenghai was stunned.

"Well, Morikawa..." Zhou Zijing looked at the roommate next to him who would be with him day and night, and decided that it would be better to explain some things clearly. "You and Hu Lai are good friends, will you be very upset if I say that?"

Morikawa Junpei glanced at him and shook his head, "Do you know my initial attitude towards Hu Lai?"

Zhou Zijing shook his head: Who knows, you didn't say it!

He looked at Junpei Morikawa, wanting to hear his answer.

But the latter didn't say a word, just took out the key to open the door.

The two walked into this small western-style building together.

They have finished their training camp in Frankfurt today and returned to Leeds.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Zijing's full attention was attracted by the two cabinets placed against the wall, and he forgot about wanting to know Junpei Morikawa's answer.

Both cupboards were empty.

I guess this is the cabinet that Hu Lai mentioned...

Seeing these two cabinets, Zhou Zijing had a headache.

He bragged about filling a closet for a season, but now there are two closets in front of him... This is simply impossible!

But he really didn't want to admit cowardice.

At this moment, he saw Junpei Morikawa walk up to one of the cabinets and said, "After seeing that Hu Lai has this cabinet, I also want to buy a cabinet to hold the best wine in the audience. He and I both know a It's not easy for a purely defensive midfielder to get the best player in the game, but he didn't laugh at me, nor stopped me, so I bought a cabinet and put it next to his cabinet..."

Zhou Zijing suddenly realized that these two cabinets belonged to Hu Lai, and the other one belonged to Junpei Morikawa.

so far so good……

Morikawa Junpei looked back at Zhou Zijing: "Hu Sang won't be upset because you want to beat him. I won't either. Because I worked hard with the goal of defeating him at the beginning, and it's still the same today."

Zhou Zijing looked at the two empty cabinets behind Junpei Morikawa, and said after a while of silence: "Anyway, I really want to replace him in the hearts of Leeds City fans..."

Junpei Morikawa nodded: "Then bet everything on this goal and work hard."
