Fox in the Penalty Area

When Hulay followed his teammates out of the tunnel of the Holy Family Stadium, what he heard was deafening singing.

Catalan United fans are singing the team song collectively to cheer for their team.

However, at the top of the stand closest to the player tunnel, close to the visiting team Madrid Pirates, Hulay heard some discordant sounds.

Those Catalan United fans were lying on the railings, leaning down, raising their middle fingers at the Madrid Pirates players, shouting curses and booing.

Or strictly speaking, these are all directed at him.

He had enjoyed this kind of treatment as early as when he came out for warm-up training with the team.

He was used to this.

There is no way, who told him to have some "little festivals" with Catalonia?

These small festivals are not just because he once scored six Catalan United goals in this stadium, nor are they because he snatched Catalan United's theoretical league championship.

These are actually normal on-court grievances.

By the time the game was over, most of these grievances had dissipated.

The main reason why Catalan United fans have a problem with Hulay is because they feel that Hulay is humiliating Catalonia United.

Of course, this matter has something to do with Zhang Qinghuan.

So when Zhang Qinghuan played in the Barcelona derby, his exclusive boos could also be heard in this stadium.

The reason why Catalan United fans think that Hulay is humiliating them is of course because in the Champions League group stage two years ago, when he was still in Leeds City, Hulay scored a hat trick in the game to help Leeds City defeat Catalan United. Have a meal with Zhang Qinghuan.

It stands to reason that it is normal to have a meal with good friends after the game, and Catalan United fans have nothing to do with it.

But after Zhang Qinghuan posted this meal online, it aroused many people's "malicious" interpretation.

It must be said that the reason why Hu Lai became so popular at the Holy Family Stadium was entirely because he was greedy for the meal from "Brother Huan".

So Catalonia's failure seemed very ridiculous - they couldn't even compare to a meal!

In fact, few people really believe that Hu Lai wanted to treat Brother Huan.

He had enough energy to defeat Catalonia United.

But everyone is happy to spread this joke.

It’s just that every time they spread it, Catalan United as the victim will be laughed at.

It may have started out as false ridicule.

But later, more and more people began to believe that Catalan United was defeated by a meal.

Especially those who don't like Catalonia in the first place.

When an Internet meme becomes a subculture, the truth doesn’t matter at all.

Nowadays, in the field of communication, when everyone talks about Hulay's first hat trick at the Holy Family Stadium, they will naturally understand that game like this:

"Oh, you said it was the game where Catalonia lost to Hu because of a meal?"

"Aha! Yes, that's right! Really Hu, do you think he just missed that meal? For just one meal, he was able to score a hat trick in his first visit to the Holy Family Stadium... Oh my God! How difficult is it for a player to score a hat trick, but why is it so easy for Hu? Just one meal can make him wear a hat?!"

“Maybe there’s something magical about that meal?”

"If possible, I hope that before every game between Hu and Catalonia, I can treat him to a meal - by the way, I am a Sarria fan."

There are many sounds like this.

In the eyes of Catalan fans, equating their team with a meal is not, or even worse than, a meal. Isn't this humiliation?

And all this is thanks to Hu Lai!

Hu Lai not only defeated them in the game, but also actively forwarded Zhang Qinghuan's tweet after the game.

Based on the influence he and Zhang Qinghuan had at the time, if he had not forwarded it, Zhang Qinghuan’s original tweet would not have gone out of the circle at all, and it would not have had such a far-reaching impact...

Every injustice has its own fault, and Catalan United fans put all their bad breath on Hu Lai.

In addition, in the last round of last season, Madrid Pirates relied on Julay's hat trick to defeat Catalonia United here and win the La Liga championship trophy.

The old and new grudges are accumulated and counted together!

But Hulay didn't care. When he heard the boos, he even raised his arms and waved to the enthusiastic Catalan United fans with a smile on his face.

"Good guy... Hu Lai is striving to be the 'famous star' of Catalonia United!"

Seeing this scene, Yan Yan complained in their football team's group.

Meng Xi immediately said: "I feel that if this momentum continues, then the entire La Liga away games will be his home. He is a 'cunning rabbit with three burrows', he can turn Spain into a sieve!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Suddenly there was a lot of joyful laughter in the group.

Yan Yan: "Great! Instead of checking out a hotel room or going to a bar during the New Year, you two are diving to peek at the screen!"

Everyone: "Waiting to watch the game, Team Yan!"

Yan Yan: "We still watch the game on New Year's Eve. No wonder we are single!"

Meng Xi: "Hey, Captain Yan said you are not single!"

Mao Xiao: "Meng Xi, look carefully, what Yan Yan said is 'we are all singles'..."

Meng Xi: “…

Chu Yifan: "Happy New Year everyone!"

"Ouch, Captain Chu?! Captain Chu, you don't accompany your sister-in-law, but you follow the example of me and other singles watching football? Captain Chu, are you being punished by your sister-in-law to sleep on the sofa?"

Chu Yifan: "What a mess! I'm watching it with your sister-in-law!"

"envious!"

"envy!"

"hatred!"

The atmosphere in the group was lively, just waiting for the match between Madrid Pirates and Catalonia United to start.

For football dogs, being able to celebrate New Year's Eve in 2028 and 202 is the happiest thing.

What to accompany a woman?

Is football as good-looking and fun for women?

X※After the players from both sides entered the stadium, the players from the host Catalan United filed in to shake hands with the visiting Madrid Pirates players.

This is standard pre-match procedure.

When Kabangka walked up to Hulay, he said to Hulay while shaking hands: "Did you receive the message I sent you?"

Hu Lai was confused: "What?"

Seeing that Hu Lai was obviously pretending to be confused, Kabangka smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, Hu. I will continue my victory over you!"

The last record between the two of them dates back to two seasons ago - the ninth round of the 202 Premier League.

Leeds City hosted Manchester United at home.

The result was a loss of 1:3.

Although Hu Lai started, he did not score.

The only goal for Leeds City was Charlie Potter.

Kabangka scored twice in that game.

It can be regarded as revenge for being tied by Hu Lai's Chinese team in the World Cup.

That's still in 2026.

Since then, the two have never met again - in the 31st round of the league in the second half of the season, Leeds City challenged Manchester United away. Because they had to concentrate on playing in the Europa League, many players, including Hulay, Leeds City's main players did not go to Manchester with the team at all. Leeds City lost even more miserably in that game, scoring three goals in 1:1 and completing a hat-trick.

Then, Hu Lai transferred and left the Premier League.

By the time Kabangka also moved to La Liga, it was two years later that the two met again.

In fact, what Kabangka said is not wrong. He and Hulay have played against each other four times in the Premier League, and Hulay has only won once. In the remaining three games, Hulay's record against Kabangka was two losses and one draw.

But Hu Lai has a different opinion.

"Continuing your victory against me?" he said happily, "Kabonka, haven't you played with me for too long, are you out of touch with the times?"

Kabangka knew that Hu Lai was a good talker. He didn't want to start a verbal war with Hu Lai. He just wanted to tell the other party what he said.

So after saying his lines, no matter what Hulay said, he walked straight forward to shake hands with the next Madrid Pirates player.

Hu Lai didn't care about Kabangka, anyway, football is not based on words.

In the end, you still have to see the truth at your feet!

He looked at Kabangka's back and reflexively stretched out his hand to shake hands with the next Catalan United player.

Before he even had time to look at who was shaking hands with him, he suddenly felt a pain in his hand.

When he looked away, he saw the angry face of Mario Salado.

"Where are you looking?" he asked. "Your opponent is me!"

Hu Lai shook his hand vigorously: "Okay, come on!"

Salado was frustrated—he felt that Hu Lai was perfunctory with him.

But he didn't continue to argue with Hu Lai naively. He made up his mind to wait until the game to let Hu Lai see how powerful he was.

Ever since he lost in the Olympics, he has been holding back his energy to seek revenge from Hu Lai!

He knows that Hu Lai is a good talker, but he also knows that football games are not won by talking!

He will prove his words with his own feet.
