Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 1647 Smile

The fact that Zhang Qinghuan has a girlfriend has become one of the most high-profile sports and entertainment gossip topics in China.

Of course, there are some die-hard fans of Zhang Qinghuan who would not believe this fact even to death.

It wasn't until the media interviewed Zhang Qinghuan that he personally admitted that he had a girlfriend.

Countless female fans were wailing everywhere.

Next, everyone's focus shifted to how that woman chased Zhang Qinghuan...

Female fans are all concerned about this matter.

But the vast majority of fans also care about the Champions League final.

The Champions League final is getting closer.

Compared with the gossip about Zhang Qinghuan's girlfriend, whether Hu Lai can win the Triple Crown is more interesting.

A reporter went to Hu Lai to gossip about Zhang Qinghuan and his girlfriend, and was scolded by Chinese fans.

Said he disturbed Hu Lai's preparations for the Champions League final...

For a moment, it made people think of the college entrance examination.

Hu Lai is like a senior high school student who is about to take the college entrance examination. There is no interference at all before the college entrance examination. Construction sites are stopped, square dances are stopped, cars are banned... the entire society can quickly enter a state of silence for the college entrance examination.

"Hi, Maxi."

When Kyrie packed up his things, came out of the locker room and walked to the parking lot, he was stopped by captain Juan Ramirez who chased him out of the locker room.

He stopped and turned to look at Ramirez: "What's the matter, Juan?"

"I want to talk to you."

"What does it have to do with?"

"Uh..." Ramirez looked back at the direction of the locker room door, hesitated, and then said, "Let's talk while we walk."

Kaili nodded, turned around and walked out of the building.

Ramirez followed him and said as he walked: "Your performance this season is perfect, Maxi. You hit many people in the face. They would never have imagined that after two consecutive serious injuries, you could still perform like this." Performance……"

Facing the captain's praise, Kaili smiled slightly, as if those were just small things worth mentioning.

"So I really hope you can renew your contract with the team. With your condition, if you stay, we can create greater glory..."

Kaili knew what the captain was looking for.

However, he was determined to leave, shook his head and said: "I have said this topic many times, I will not renew my contract with the club."

Ramirez couldn't understand: "Why? Are the contract renewal conditions inappropriate?"

"It has nothing to do with the terms of the contract extension, and it has nothing to do with money, Juan." Carey said. "Actually I just wanted a change of scenery."

"Do you get tired of being a pirate?"

"No." Kaili shook his head simply.

"I know you plan to return to your hometown team before you retire. But in your current state, it would be too wasteful to go to the Dutch second league, right?" Ramirez further persuaded.

As the captain of the team, he must of course consider the interests of the entire team.

In his opinion, the striker formed by Hulay and Carey is the top in Europe. If possible, he hopes that Carey can partner with Hulay next season.

That way they will continue to sweep across Europe.

But Carey's answer disappointed him.

"Of course, now I will not go back to The Hague Hercules," Carey said.

"Then where will you go?" Ramirez was a little nervous.

Feeling his nervousness, Carey laughed: "Don't worry, Juan. I will not be an enemy of the Pirates. So I will not continue to play in La Liga."

"Is it...Insubre?"

In the past six months, since Kyrie's contract with the Pirates only has half a season left, there have been various transfer rumors about him. Especially since Kyrie's performance is so outstanding, it will naturally attract many teams. s concern.

Among them, the loudest one is Insubre, a wealthy team in Milan, Italy. Insubre also has a tradition of signing "elderly" players.

If Maxi Carey can be waived, they will make some concessions in salary and signing fees, and they will still be a wealthy team. If Carey goes to that kind of place, it will not be considered a relegation.

Carey didn't admit it: "I haven't signed anything yet."

While talking, the two people had already walked to Kaili's Volvo.

Carey held the handle of the car and said to Ramirez: "Juan, I am very grateful for my years in the Pirates. I also like you very much and like everything here. You know, it is difficult to step out of the comfort zone. I It took a lot of determination to decide to do this.”

Juan Ramirez didn't answer because he didn't know how to answer.

Carey was about to open the car door, but at this moment, Ramirez suddenly asked: "Is it because of Hu?"

Kaili's hand paused for a moment, then continued to open the car door, and at the same time said: "Of course it has nothing to do with that kid."

Ramirez sighed: "I really hope that you two can become a strike combination that sweeps Europe..."

Hearing this, Kaili patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "We have done it, Juan."

Ramirez was speechless.

The Madrid Pirates have indeed swept across Europe this season, and the main striker combination is Hulay and Carey.

Kyrie got into the car, then lowered the window and said to Ramirez: "Don't worry, Juan. The Champions League final against the Kings is my last game with the Pirates, and I will never allow it in this game." One that leaves behind regrets and flaws.”

After saying that, he closed the window, started the car, and drove past Ramirez out of the parking space.

Ramirez stood there and watched Carey leave.

"Alexandra, I have asked the club to hold a grand retirement ceremony for you at the Crown Stadium. It must not be just perfunctory at the training base. You should enjoy the same treatment as Francis was originally treated... "

Cerrados' agent Jose Olmo was talking to him on the phone.

Cerrados interrupted him: "It doesn't matter, Jose. I don't care about the retirement ceremony or anything right now, I only care about the Champions League final. For me, the best farewell is not to be delivered on the podium of the Crown Stadium. Speak, but help the team win the Champions League trophy in Milan."

"You're right, Cerrados. You're right... you have your pursuits, you are the captain of the Kings, and you have a lot to consider. But I'm just your agent, so I only think about you. matter. Regardless of whether you can win the Champions League or not, I need the club to give you a farewell ceremony worthy of your career. Is this too much to ask, Alessandra?" Olmer also rarely played in Cerrados Stand firm in front of me.

Cerrados fell into a brief silence after hearing Olmo's words.

Then he said to Olmo: "You're right, Jose. We all have our opinions and our positions, and we're all right."

After ending the phone call with Cerrados, Olmo turned his attention to the TV screen.

Inside, the interview news of the entire Kings of Madrid team arriving in Milan is being played.

Mery Banega said to the densely packed microphones, recorders and mobile phones: "The King's philosophy is 'championship', so we came to Milan for only one thing - that is to win the championship... Our captain... When he retires after the season, the whole team will win this championship as a farewell gift. The captain has dedicated his career to the King of Madrid, and he deserves to end his career as a European champion..."

Hearing this, Olmo snorted: "Then I hope you will do what you say, boy!"

"Son, why are you still in Madrid when the king has gone to Milan to prepare for the final?"

At the dinner table, Xie Lan asked Hu Lai his doubts.

"We are just one day behind them, Mom."

"Just one day late?"

"Yeah, I'm going to Milan tomorrow."

"Sigh... Then why do I feel like they left long before you? Qingqing hasn't been at home for a long time..."

"Stop making trouble, Mom, Qingqing has only been there for two days, and their women's team arrived one day earlier than the men's team."

"Two days are too long!" Xie Lan sighed.

"I've been away for two days and I haven't seen you sighing like this." Hu Lai curled his lips.

"Can you be good like Qingqing?"

Xie Lan spoke confidently, while Hu Lai was speechless and choked up to the point where he rolled his eyes.

"You haven't answered my question yet. Why did you go to Milan one day late? Didn't you go there in advance to adapt to the climate and venue?" Xie Lan asked.

Hu Lai spread his hands and said: "Who told Insubre to have a good relationship with the king? In Milan, Insubre is a wealthy family, and they are the only one with a high-end training ground. They will definitely use it for the king. We can't use it, so we might as well go there If you want to stay in Madrid for one more day, just go there two days in advance, there is no need to go so early.”

Milan's Insubre is a giant in Italy that can compete with the Turin Bulls.

They are also one of the clubs in Europe's G13. A total of six Champions League titles have been won in history.

In terms of Champions League champions alone, they even have one more than the Turin Bulls.

"Isn't that very detrimental to you?" Xie Lan said worriedly.

"Not necessarily." Hu Lixin, who was standing next to him, spoke up. "Professional players won't be able to perform well if they arrive two days late. It's not like going to a plateau. They have to adapt half a month in advance... Sometimes, it's not necessarily good to go and stay for a long time in advance."

Xie Lan turned to look at him.

Hu Lixin continued to explain: "Players need to be excited. Staying in one place for a long time will increase the excitement threshold. Maybe it will be easier to get excited in the game than a team that comes later."

"It's just... freshness?" Xie Lan asked.

"That's pretty much what it means."

Li Qingqing stood on the sidelines of the Olympia Stadium and was being interviewed by Chinese and foreign reporters.

Although Milan has only one giant, it does not mean that they have only one professional team.

Olimpia is another professional team in Milan and has also staged city derbies in Serie A and Insubre.

But now it has been relegated to the second division.

The Olympia Stadium is the home stadium of the team of the same name.

In terms of facilities and scale, it cannot be compared with the Central Stadium, the home stadium of Insoubre - the latter can accommodate 66,000 people in the European war, while the Olympia Stadium only has a capacity of 30,000 people.

This is the venue for the Women’s Champions League final the night after tomorrow.

Although UEFA arranges the men's and women's UEFA Champions League finals in the same city, it is to increase everyone's attention to the women's football UEFA Champions League and allow the women's football team to catch up with the popularity of the men's football team.

But there have been calls for the women's and men's Champions League finals to be held in different cities. Because hosting two Champions League finals in the same city will inevitably distract the host city’s energy, financial resources and manpower.

As a result, the men's football team will inevitably receive more resources in the Champions League finals, while the women's football team will be left out in the cold.

Now this kind of men's football team plays the final at the home court of the only wealthy club in Milan, while the women's football team can only play the final at the home court of a second-division team, which fully reflects this phenomenon.

But there is no way. If the two finals are played before and after the two finals are scheduled to be played at the Central Court, the home stadium of Insubre, then the stadium will have no time to replace the new turf, and it will also greatly increase the cost of hosting the finals. The men's football final, which kicked off one day later, had to be played on the turf that had been damaged by the women's football final. This obviously did not comply with UEFA's requirements and regulations.

Therefore, UEFA may really consider hosting the men's and women's Champions League finals in different cities in the future.

But thanks to current policies, Li Qingqing can finally meet Hu Lai in the same city.

Reporters are asking Li Qingqing:

"...When Mellie was interviewed at the airport, she said that the team's goal is to defend the championship. Is the same true for your women's team?"

Li Qingqing smiled and nodded:

"Yes, our goal is to win the championship as well."

Reporters whispered: "In this way, the Madrid Kings will become the first men's and women's football team to successfully defend the Champions League at the same time!"

Li Qingqing maintained the same smile as before.

The photographers pressed their camera shutters to freeze her confident smile.
