Fox in the Penalty Area

When Hou Lai went to the team's training the next day, there was already a wild rumor in the locker room that his girlfriend turned out to be the female football star of the King of Madrid.

Because I talked about this issue with Li Qingqing and knew that no matter what the result is, it is a win-win situation, so Hu Lai was not very nervous.

Everyone knows it.

Therefore, for those who came up to him to verify this matter, Hu Lai always gave a positive answer:

"Thank you for the invitation. Yes, that's right, Qingqing and I are a couple. Qingqing is indeed playing in the Madrid King's women's football team."

Although everyone wondered why Hu Lai had to add the sentence "thank you" before speaking, they also expressed emotion about the relationship between Hu Lai and Li Qingqing.

"It's not that I haven't heard of the men's football team dating a women's football player...but the relationship between you two rivals in the same city is really weird..."

"Yes, yes. It's not just about competing on the court, but also after the game..."

"Competing for what?"

"What are you talking about? Hey!"

"After we win the king, wouldn't Hu's girlfriend be able to avenge the king in bed?"

"Conversely, if our women's football team loses to the King's women's football team, can Hu also avenge the women's football girls?"

"Why do you feel that no matter what, Hu won't suffer?"

"Hahahahaha!"

Hu Lai was dumbfounded listening to the discussion of these hooligans, not knowing what to say.

Good guy, he really didn't expect such a "win-win"!

※※※

The teammate's ridicule about Hu Lai's girlfriend turning out to be the King of Madrid women's football star passed quickly, and no one really took it to heart.

After all, no matter who it is, a relationship is a private matter. It's okay for other people to joke occasionally, but if they are serious and point fingers, it will be annoying.

As for the fact that the pirates won the ball, the king won the ball, and how the couple deal with themselves, that is their business and has nothing to do with other people.

The energy of the Madrid Pirates players still has to be devoted to preparing for the league.

This is the last round of the league before the national team match day. After the game, the players have to report to their respective national teams to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers in each region.

La Liga has finished two rounds, and there are currently a total of six teams winning both games and accumulating six points.

The Catalan United still ranks first with their goal difference advantage, and they defeated Athletic Malaga 1-0 away in the second round of the league.

The Madrid Pirates, who beat Valero 2-0 at home, followed closely behind, with a goal difference of two less than Catalan.

The third place is King Madrid who beat Real Huelva 1:0 away.

The fourth place is Athletic Vizcaya, they beat Pamplona 2:0 at home in this round of the league.

The above four teams are all relatively strong teams, so no one will be surprised to be ranked in the top four.

But the fifth place is somewhat surprising, it is Sarria!

In this round of the league, they are playing against the powerful Valentia at home. You must know that Valentia ranked fourth last season and qualified for the Champions League.

As a result, in this game, Sarria finally defeated Valentia 3:1.

Zhang Qinghuan performed well in this game. He contributed a goal and an assist and was elected the best player of the game.

In terms of his performance in this round of the league alone, he is even better than Hu Lai who only scored one goal.

Excited Chinese fans have already shouted such slogans on the Internet: "Who is the real boss of Catalonia?!"

The spearhead was aimed at Catalan midfielder and captain Gaspar Rosas.

Because Rosas and Zhang Qinghuan have very similar effects on the team, although their positions are different, Zhang Qinghuan is in the midfielder position, while Rosas is more like a central midfielder.

But they are both playmakers for their respective teams, and there are some similarities in their style of play.

They all have delicate footwork and imaginative passing.

Even the shortcoming of slow movement is the same...

Because the status and achievements of the two people are very different, they will not be compared in the first place-no one will put Audi and Yardi together to compare performance.

But now, someone compared the two people together, even if it was just out of the original intention of teasing... that is enough to prove Zhang Qinghuan's ability.

The former Chinese football super genius, after years of tossing around, seems to finally live up to everyone's expectations and high hopes for him.

People are still a little bit embarrassed - if he hadn't taken that detour, would the current Zhang Qinghuan have jumped from Sarria to a real rich family?

Just like Hu Lai today.

No one knows the answer.

But life is not and cannot be assumed.

So it can only be said that everything in the past, good or bad, worked together to shape Zhang Qinghuan today.

If Zhang Qinghuan hadn't taken a detour back then, Zhang Qinghuan's state of mind would have been completely different. Then, in the face of setbacks and sufferings, would he still be able to deal with them indifferently?

After all, at that time, he was actually a "child" who left everything to his father and relied too much on his father.

It was his dad's sudden death that hurled him into an unprotected world and left him struggling to survive. He made it through, and only then did he have the tenacious Zhang Qinghuan he is today.

This is actually the best arrangement of fate for Zhang Qinghuan.

Before losing her father, Zhang Qinghuan was like gold, dazzling and no one would love her, but she was too soft.

He is now a diamond, transformed into the hardest stone under high temperature and pressure.

Before the start of the third round of La Liga, Hu Lai did not train with the team, but took a special day to fly back to the UK.

Destination UK capital London.

He was accompanied by Samuel Leray, general manager of football for the Corsairs of Madrid.

They went this time for multiple purposes, including the UEFA Champions League group draw for the new season, and the award ceremony for various awards in the European League last season.

Hu Lai is no stranger to this.

Because he participated in the grand ceremony as a candidate for the best young player in Europe last season, and finally succeeded in winning this award, becoming a role model representative of all young players in Europe last season.

And this time he went again, not to participate in the selection of the best young player in Europe-he is about to turn 24 years old and has already exceeded the age limit for candidates. Get it repeatedly.

The winner of this year's European Best Young Player Award is the Catalan "golden boy" Mario Salado. He was finally about to get his wish.

But he was already twenty years old when he won the award, and after all, he still failed to surpass Meli's record as the youngest player to win the award...

Hu Lai went this time because he was selected for the final ten candidates for the European Golden Globe Award and the best player award in the Europa League.

Although he entered the ten-man shortlist for the European Ballon d'Or, he basically went to run with him.

Last season's European Ballon d'Or should have been between Athletic Manchester's Kendor Kabunka and the Blue-White Munich's Soren Gribusch.

Among them, Gribusch has a higher chance of winning the prize.

As the midfield partner and successor of the "Sun" Grimand Aylmer, one of the four heavenly kings, the captain of Blue and White Munich, Gribusch, is the world's top rhythm master with comprehensive skills and a strong overall view. Very precise long pass with feet.

He is also an important contributor to the reason why Blue and White Munich won the Triple Crown last season.

Thirty years old this year, he is at the peak of his career.

Compared with him, Kendor Kabanka is a little immature.

The most important thing is that Kabanka is slightly inferior in honor. After all, he only has the Premier League champion and lacks the Champions League champion. He was even defeated in the direct dialogue with Gribusch in the Champions League final, which gave him a lot of points.

Except for these two, the rest of the ten-man list basically came to make up the numbers.

Meli Banega is also on the ten-man roster, but last season he neither won the La Liga title nor the Champions League title in the King of Madrid, and his competitiveness was seriously lacking.

Catalan captain Gaspar Rosas is also in the ten-man squad and is out of the running for the Ballon d'Or despite a La Liga title.

Hu Laitong just made up the numbers. Even Meli hasn't won the European Ballon d'Or yet, let alone him.

Although there is no competition in the Golden Globe Awards, another award, Hu Lai, has already been in the bag. Unlike the European Golden Globe Awards, where it is not known who will win until the last moment, the best player in the Europa League is not Strict secrecy is not required. So three days ago, Hu Lai already knew that he would win the best player award in the Europa League last season.

It deserves it for him.

Although he started to participate in the Europa League last season from the top 32, he scored a total of 13 goals in the knockout stage, with amazing efficiency. In the end, it helped Leeds City win the Europa League championship in their first participation in the Europa League.

The Europa League Player of the Year was chosen by the coaches of the 48 teams that participated in the Europa League group stage last season, as well as journalists from the 55 UEFA member states.

And Leeds City didn't participate in last season's Europa League group stage, so Tony Clark didn't even have voting rights.

Under such circumstances, the vast majority of team coaches and reporters still voted for Hu Lai, which shows the gold content of Hu Lai, the best player.

For Hu Lai himself, this is also his career... I don't know how many personal honors.

Since starting to participate in the Chinese League One in 2022, Hu Lai will receive personal honors every season.

All kinds of top scorers, best players.

Among them, the most gold-rich ones are the Premier League's top scorer, best player and top scorer in the World Cup.

Now the Europa League best player award has been added.

As an Asian player, Hu Lai surpassed his predecessors, at least in terms of personal honor.

Moreover, he is not yet twenty-four years old, and his future is limitless.

China's domestic media has started another round of praise for Hu Lai, and countless media reporters rushed to London, England, waiting to report on this grand event.

Hu Lai himself has little interest in going to London.

The main reason is that his going to London meant that he would be separated from Li Qingqing for a day—Qingqing had finally returned home from the closed training camp, but he had to fly to London before the bed was warmed up...

Last season, Paris Erger's women's football results were low. He failed to win the league championship, cup championship and European championship. Therefore, Li Qingqing, who was still playing in Egerre in Paris at the time, was not selected for the five-man shortlist for the Women's Ballon d'Or, and she could not go to London at all.

They have to "farewell" again.

When the club approached him and informed him to go to London, he was still quite resistant: "What am I going to do? The top ten candidates? I will definitely not be in the top three at the end...The league is coming soon, and I still want to train with the team. "

But the club told him that it might not be possible: "You won the Europa League best, so you have to go, Hu."

Hu Lai had no excuses, so he had to go.

In order not to experience such a separation again, he and Li Qingqing will try their best to perform well in the future and get the opportunity to participate in various award ceremonies and ceremonies at the same time.

A person is good, not good.

Hello everyone, it is really good!
