Fox in the Penalty Area

As soon as Ricardo Barria and Roquet stepped into the locker room, teammate Scott Wilson hugged their necks: "Aha, Ricardo, you are going back to Alvara! Maybe we can then Witnessing a homecoming drama similar to Hu’s return to Leeds City!”

"Thank you for your kind words, Scott." Baria said with a smile on his face, but his tone was calm.

It didn't seem like I was getting excited about going home.

After bidding farewell to Wilson and sitting in his seat, Baria whispered to Luo Kai beside him: "Honestly, I don't think I can be treated like Hu."

"Why? You are an important contributor to helping Alvara Sight League win three consecutive championships..." Luo Kai was a little surprised. The Balya he knew was a very competitive person who wanted to be first in everything.

Unexpectedly, he actually considered himself inferior to Hu Lai when it came to returning home.

This even made Luo Kai a little unconvinced and he didn't even go back. Why did you admit defeat in advance?

Barea lowered his voice and explained: "It's different, Ronaldo. Hu and I have different meanings to our respective teams. Before me, Alvara was the most successful club in Portugal, and I was just a part of Alvara's glorious history. It’s just a chapter of…Where’s Hu? Before he came there, Leeds City was nobody. He helped Leeds City win its first Premier League title and its first Europa League title. So…”

He didn't continue, but Luo Kai already understood.

In other words, Ricardo is one of Alvara’s numerous “predecessors”.

Hu Lai is Leeds City's first love.

First love is always the best and most unforgettable.

Just like Li Qingqing is also his first love. Although Li Qingqing has already established a relationship with Hu Lai, Luo Kai still feels heartbroken when he occasionally sees news about Li Qingqing, and it is difficult to really deal with it calmly.

He devoted himself crazily in training just to exhaust himself and have no time to think about the fait accompli.

Seeing that Luo Kai didn't speak, Barea continued: "...I also watched the videos on the Internet of Hu Zhong returning to the Flanders Stadium. Even though I didn't want to, I had to admit that when he returned to the court and made that move , all the Leeds City fans chanted along... It was really shocking. To be honest, Luo, I had goosebumps..."

Listening to Baria's whispered narration, Luo Kai also had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

He has also seen the videos that are widely circulated on the Internet.

And he had the same feeling as Barea. When Hu Lai landed and the fans in the audience collectively shouted "HUUUUU!!!", he got goosebumps in front of his mobile phone.

He felt very unwilling, but his trembling body couldn't stop.

"...It's hard for someone to do what he did. Because it's hard for someone to have such a profound impact on a team like him...So actually I don't really care what I get when I return to the Lisbon Arena. Treatment. What I care more about is winning games and going further in the Champions League."

"I care about this too." Luo Kai said.

Barea smiled: "For you, this game is also very interesting. I know what the Chinese media calls this game. 'Chinese Derby', right?"

Luo Kai shook his head: "I don't know if Xia Xiaoyu can play in the Champions League. He is just a substitute in Alvara. I don't know if I can play in the game then..."

"I don't know about Alvara, but you, Ronaldo, believe me, you can definitely play in the Champions League. I'm on the left and you are on the right. We will become the pair that will bring the 'Scarlet Witch' to fly again." Wings!"

※※ ※

"I didn't expect that Xiaoyu and Luo Kai would meet together. Come on, Xiaoyu, kill Luo Kai!"

In the group, Zhang Qinghuan @called Xia Xiaoyu and encouraged him.

In other words, it is a fire.

Xia Xiaoyu came out and covered his face with a bitter smile: "I don't know if I can play by then, Brother Huan..."

"Why not? It must be possible! You must have such faith!" Zhang Qinghuan kept cheering Xia Xiaoyu up for watching the show.

"That's right, Xiaoyu, you have to have confidence in yourself. You can definitely be the main force in Alvara!" Wang Guangwei also came out to encourage Xia Xiaoyu.

But his encouragement was pure encouragement.

Morikawa Junpei is also cheering for Xia Xiaoyu.

Chen Xingyi jumped out: "You are all encouraging Xiaoyu, but I also have a 'Chinese Derby'! We are playing against Madrid Pirates!"

Zhang Qinghuan: "Okay, I wish you good luck, little star..."

Chen Xingyi protested: "What the hell are you wishing me good luck?! Who said we would definitely lose to Madrid Pirates! Shouldn't we say 'you can do it'?"

Hu Lai: "[smile]"

Chen Xingyi: "Hu Lai, what does that expression mean?"

"It's nothing interesting. This is to encourage you, little Xingxing. Come on, let's fight until it hurts!"

Zhang Qinghuan: "Little Xingxing, don't think too much. He just looks down on you. He really has no other meaning."

Xia Xiaoyu: "Cover your face"

Wang Guangwei: "Brother Huan, your arch is too obvious..."

Morikawa Junpei: "Tear well, make more noise.jpg"

Hu Lai: "It's a pity that Saria, brother Huan, was not drawn with Leeds City in the Europa League. Otherwise, there would have been four 'Chinese Derbys' in the European War this year."

"Haha, sir, we are number one in the group!" Zhang Qinghuan said proudly.

It is impossible for the first place in the group to be drawn together with the third place in the Champions League group.

"It's a pity, otherwise we could have let Morikawa teach Brother Huan how to behave. You two are just right..."

Morikawa Junpei: "What about me?.jpg"

Chen Xingyi: "Tear it well, tear it louder!"

Wang Guangwei: "..."

Xia Xiaoyu: "Cover your face"

The knockout stages of the European competition will have to wait until February or March next year, but it is obvious that the "Chinese Derby" has already been staged in this group in advance. They are fighting against each other, inseparable, and the battle is fierce.

"Xing, do I really have to wear earplugs during the game? But with earplugs on, not only can I not hear the referee's whistle, but I can't hear the movement around me either. This will affect my performance..."

Danny Drew found Chen Xingyi and said with an embarrassed expression.

Chen Xingyi shook his head: "Of course it's impossible to really wear earplugs during the game."

"What should I do? Hu's mouth is really powerful. I saw with my own eyes that he turned an 'iceberg' into a 'volcano' with just one mouth..."

Chen Xingyi laughed when he heard this and said: "I'll teach you a way, Danny. When the competition comes, don't treat Hu as a human being."

"Don't treat him as a human...?" Drew was confused, "Then what should I treat him as?"

"Just treat him like a dog. Then everything he says to you is just a barking dog. Do you care about a barking dog?"

Drew showed an indescribable expression: "Xing, you and Hu used to play on the same team, and you were teammates on the national team. But you compared him to a dog... So are your teammates really good?"

Chen Xingyi waved his hand: "You misunderstood, Danny. When I called Hu a dog, I was definitely not insulting him, but stating a fact, because he is really...a dog."

"'Very doggy'?" Drew couldn't understand Chen Xingyi's strange statement.

"It's not important, Danny. Anyway, remember what I say. No matter what he says to you, you not only don't pay attention to it, but you don't even think about his words. Once you start thinking, you have fallen into his language. Trap." Chen Xingyi put away his smile and said seriously.

Looking at the serious Chen Xingyi, even though Drew didn't know if he could do it, he still nodded solemnly: "Okay, I remember it. Xing. I will automatically filter what he said into 'Woof woof woof'."

Chen Xingyi patted Drew on the shoulder: "Don't be too nervous. He doesn't 'chat' with the opponent's defender every time we play. You just need to play as usual. There's no need to scare yourself."

"Yeah, I know! And actually I'm also looking forward to the confrontation with Hu. Since we last met at the award ceremony for the Best Young Player in Europe, his performance has really improved by leaps and bounds... I've long since I want to compete with him!"

"Then you have to concentrate for ninety minutes and don't relax for even a second, Danny." Chen Xingyi reminded him. "To guard against Hu, the most important thing is not to give him any chance, and you have to make sure you don't make any mistakes. So it's actually very difficult."

Drew grinned: "Okay, Xing. I will use the same form I used to defend Melli in the World Cup to defend against Hu."

Hearing Drew say this, Chen Xingyi sighed in his heart.

Danny Drew is already a leader among young defenders. Everyone thinks that after he finishes playing in the Eredivisie this season, it will be impossible for him to stay at Sporting Amsterdam. Countless top teams across the European continent are vying for him.

The media called him the backbone of the Dutch national team's defense for the next ten years.

Such a No. 1 figure, when facing Hu Lai, must act as if he is facing a formidable enemy, saying that he must defend Hu Lai with the same standards as guarding against Meili...

Doesn't this mean that Hu Lai is already on the same level as Meili?

This is not the first time Chen Xingyi has compared Hu Lai and Meili. Fans on the Internet often say this.

But after all, that is what the media and fans say.

Now a player of the same high level said this, and Chen Xingyi felt even more embarrassed.

Since the National High School Football Championship, that kid has made such a rapid progress that he can almost lose sight of his back!
