Fox in the Penalty Area

The Fox in the Restricted Area Volume 73 Chapter 73 Let me see everyone Hu Lai’s father and mother both went to work the next day, so he was left alone at home.

After all, it is not the real Spring Festival, so there is no seven-day holiday.

His mother took a day off, but she still had to go back to work obediently.

But Hu Lai didn't plan to stay at home to eat leftovers.

He was going to visit his teammates from his high school team, as well as his school team coach Li Ziqiang.

For this reason, he didn't eat at home at noon, but went directly to the school, found a restaurant on the small street in front of the school, and ate a bowl of noodles.

Even as a professional player, as long as it is not in season, the dietary requirements are not so strict. Chinese players, especially Jincheng players, will eat hot pot and skewers after the season, which are obviously unhealthy foods.

As long as you can get rid of the fat you ate this holiday in the pre-season training camp, the head coach doesn't care.

Because he was going back to his alma mater to visit his teammates, Hu Lai didn't put on any disguise except for wearing a peaked cap. Unlike Zhang Qinghuan, who had to wear sunglasses wherever he went, he was just pretending.

As a result, Hu Lai had just finished paying and walked out of the small restaurant when he was surrounded by a group of people.

These people were all students in Dongchuan Middle School uniforms, including boys and girls. They stopped Hu Lai and asked tentatively, "Excuse me, are you Hu Lai?"

"Uh, I'm..." Hu Lai realized that he had been recognized.

After the guess was confirmed by Hu Lai, cheers erupted from the crowd.

Then everyone rushed up and handed the postcards, blank paper, jerseys and markers to Hu Lai: "Can you sign for me?"

"Hu Lai, I'm your fan! Please be sure to sign me!"

"Hu Lai, this is your jersey from the Flash Stars, I hope you can sign this!"

"Hu Lai, I didn't bring anything, can you just sign my school uniform?"

Both men and women are scrambling to get Hu Lai to sign for themselves, and more people are taking pictures and videos with their mobile phones.

They are ready to vibrate Kuaishou.

While fulfilling their request, Hu Lai asked curiously, "How do you know I'm here at school?"

It was a temporary idea, and he didn't tell anyone at all.

"Someone took a picture of you eating and posted it in the class group, and it was recognized, hehe!" The student who got Hu Lai's autograph was very happy, and also answered Hu Lai's question.

※※※

Hu Lai kept signing autographs in the crowd. Someone outside was curious about why a large group of people had gathered all of a sudden, and asked someone, "Student, may I ask which star came to our school? Why didn't I see it on the Internet?"

"Celebrity? Oh, yes, it is indeed a celebrity. It's Hu Lai!" The students who couldn't squeeze in and could only stand outside to watch the excitement looked around and answered each other's questions.

"Hole? Which Hole?"

The person who was asked looked back and glanced at the other party curiously: "Isn't it, classmate? Are you a student of our Dongchuan? Which villain? Who else can there be? The one on the school's honor roll what!"

The other party also suddenly realized: "Just Hu Lai in that photo?"

"Yeah, who else can there be besides him? Hu Lai is the only person who got such a special name in Dongchuan Middle School!"

"I'll go, this popularity..." After the other party figured out who was coming, he also cast his gaze over, and then looked at the dark crowd, and couldn't help but sigh. "Even so, it's too exaggerated, right? I thought some variety star came to our school to shoot a show..."

"This classmate, are you a freshman in high school?" The person who was asked stopped watching the excitement,

Turn around and ask each other seriously.

"Uh, yes, I'm a junior in high school..."

"Oh, that's no wonder. Do you know what our school is?"

"Save the key point?"

The student, who was obviously older than the other party, pointed to the school gate across the street. There was a golden plaque on the concrete pillar: "See? A school with a strong football tradition. Our Dongchuan Middle School is a school with a football tradition. In the early years, he won the Anton Cup ten consecutive times, and now he is the champion of the national competition. Have you seen our school team? How popular is it in school?"

The freshman in high school nodded again and again: "The popularity is very high, every home game the stands are almost full..."

"Yes, in this football atmosphere, Hu Lai is the only professional player in our school... Oh, no, there is another Luo Kai, but Luo Kai hasn't played yet..." The senior paused, "Hu Lai He was the first to be kicked out, and it can be said that he is a professional star cultivated by our school. If he is placed in our school, he will be more popular than a variety show star!"

The freshman saw the senior's tone of voice quite proud when he spoke, so he asked curiously: "Brother, how old are you?"

"Third year in high school. I even watched Hu Lai's competition!"

"Wow..." The freshman in high school thought it's no wonder why you are so proud, brother, and he asked again: "Then why don't you ask for your autograph, brother?"

The boy snorted, and then said lightly, "I already have Hu Lai's signature."

"Huh?" The freshman in high school was really dumbfounded.

"Hey, after Hu Lai won the last Anton Cup, I asked him for his autograph. Let me tell you, I was very optimistic about Hu Lai at that time. I firmly believed that he would become a professional player in the future, and he must There will be great success!"

The high school senior was so excited when he said it, it frightened the high school students for a moment.

※※※

After Hu Lai finally satisfied everyone's signature requirements, he squeezed out from the crowd and walked into the campus.

Naturally, the guard had noticed the commotion at the school gate long ago.

However, after knowing that it was Hu Lai who came back, he did not stop Hu Lai from entering the school, but took out a brand new notebook and put it on the table: "Visitor registration."

That's how he got Hu Lai's signature.

After Hu Lai walked into the campus, he walked straight towards the school's football field.

Some people followed him, wanting to see why he went back to his alma mater and what he was going to do.

When Hu Lai heard the whistle from the direction of the school stadium, the corners of his mouth turned up—as expected, even though he had already left the team, the school team still kept the tradition of training at noon...

That's why he chose to come at noon. If he hadn't forgotten, he remembered that the school team didn't practice this afternoon, so if he wanted to see everyone on the school team, he could only come at noon today.

※※※

Li Ziqiang was leading the team for training, when he heard a noise coming from outside, getting louder and louder, obviously coming towards the football field.

This surprised him a little.

The noise even affected the school team players who were training on the court, and they all turned their eyes to the direction of the sound.

Li Ziqiang frowned, and then shouted: "What are you looking at? Don't be distracted!"

Hearing the roar of the head coach, the players quickly put all their energy into training again.

It can be seen that everyone is still very afraid of this unsmiling head coach.

And when the noise entered the stadium, Li Ziqiang cast his disgusted eyes on it.

He doesn't care about the noise. Every time the team trains, there will be many students watching from the sidelines, and they will also make various noises.

What he hated was the sudden noise, which was easily distracting.

However, after casting his gaze over, Li Ziqiang was stunned. The first thing he saw was a large group of people entering the stadium.

Then he saw a person walking alone in front of this large group of people, he was quite familiar with that person...

It was Hu Lai!

He finally knew why the stands were so empty during training today... So they all ran to see this kid!

"Why are you here?" Li Ziqiang said with a bit of disgust in his tone.

Hu Lai said with a smile, "I'll come to see everyone, and I'll also come to see you, coach."

After speaking, he also waved hello to the school team players who had stopped training behind Li Ziqiang.

Li Ziqiang looked back and saw the team that did not listen to his words and continued training. Even the captain of the team, Xia Xiaoyu, seemed a little lost in front of Hu Lai's arrival. He was looking at Hu Lai on his feet. He was about to run to Hu Lai, right?

Thinking of this, Li Ziqiang snorted and said to Hu Lai: "Go to the locker room to find a pair of shoes to change, and then train with them."

When the people in the team heard this sentence, they all collectively "wow".

Hu Lai didn't object. After saying "Okay", he ran to the locker room in a hurry.

He did come to see the team, to see the coach, and to see everyone in this way. Although it was a bit unexpected, it was actually better.

It will make him feel more comfortable than standing on the sidelines or watching everyone practice in the stands, as if he has never left this team, he is still a member of this team...

※※※

Soon Hu Lai changed into his sneakers and appeared on the football field.

And those students who came to the stadium with Hu Lai had already entered the stands at this time. After seeing Hu Lai running out, they collectively cheered.

Not only them, but also the players of the Dongchuan Middle School football team were very excited.

You know, Hu Lai, who is running on the court now, is a genuine professional player!

And it's not the kind of professional player who just trains with the team but rarely plays in the game. It's a professional player who has played consecutively in the professional league and has top performance.

After only playing in the China Construction League for half a season, he became the top scorer in the Flash Star team and scored in double figures-this performance is enough to prove Hu Lai's level.

Such a person can appear on the football field of a middle school and train with student players like them. That is a good thing that I never dreamed of before!

"Warm up first." Li Ziqiang shook his head at Hu Lai.

So Hu Lai ran to the side to warm up alone.

Even during the warm-up, everyone was watching intently. None of the team's players continued to train, and Li Ziqiang didn't scold them when he saw this.

How professional players warm up is a very meaningful lesson for these school team players.

Even though he was only training with his school team juniors, Hu Lai was still very serious when warming up, and he did all the warm-up moves before the flashing star training.

When he came back, Li Ziqiang specially arranged a training content for him.

He asked Xia Xiaoyu to make a high pass from halfway, and then Hu Lai competed for the header in the penalty area, and he acted as a defensive player to intercept Hu Lai.

As soon as the content of this training is said, everyone will understand - the head coach is going to test Hu Lai...

Xia Xiaoyu passed the football, Hu Lai and Li Ziqiang ran to the landing point at the same time, their bodies were always entangled, and their hands kept moving.

Li Ziqiang desperately pulled Hu Lai with his hands, crossed his arms and tried to push him away.

But in the end, it still failed to stop Hu Lai from taking off.

He jumped up and hit Hu Lai in the air.

He successfully knocked Hu Lai off balance, but at the same time Hu Lai lost his balance, he turned his head sideways to attack the goal, and used an unconventional shooting action to throw the football to the back!

The goalkeeper of the Dongchuan Middle School football team was unprepared for Hu Lai's diving head-and-head attack—he didn't expect that Hu Lai could hit the football when he was almost out of balance, and headed the football towards the goal he was guarding. goal.

He just stood there, raised his hand, and watched the football fly into the goal.

"I'm going!!" A huge exclamation erupted from the stands. "Beautiful!"

Hu Lai, who completely lost his balance, fell to the ground, rolled over, turned over, and lay down on the artificial turf.

Li Ziqiang landed steadily, looked back at the goal first, confirmed the result, and found that the football was in the goal.

Then he turned his head to look at Hu Lai lying on the ground and said, "Your strength is better than I imagined."

Hu Lai sat up from the ground: "In the past three months, the team has given me targeted training on strength."

"No wonder..." Li Ziqiang nodded thoughtfully, "You have gone to the professional team, and you should really strengthen some strength training. Zhao Kangming really understands you very well."

Hu Lai got up from the ground with a smile, patted the grass clippings and rubber particles on his body, and said to Li Ziqiang: "I also think I'm okay. When you hit me, coach, I didn't fly out directly..."

Li Ziqiang glared at him: "That's because I'm showing mercy."

"You fouled if you didn't show mercy, coach." Hu Lai spread his hands and said with a smile. "This is in the restricted area."

Li Ziqiang just wanted to roll his eyes when he saw this "proud disciple" who made people feel like his belly was swaying when he laughed.

"Okay, let's go to training with the team!" He didn't want to continue chatting with Hu Lai, otherwise he was afraid that his serious image in front of the players would be ruined by Hu Lai.

"Okay, coach." Hu Lai walked towards the team.

Xia Xiaoyu greeted him excitedly: "Captain Hu, we are training offensive routines, you and I are in the same group..."

Shen Yulin next to him was not happy: "Why are you in the same group, Xiaoyu, we need Team Hu more here!"

Chen Rui stood up and said, "Stop arguing, you two, team Hu will follow me."

Xia Xiaoyu and Shen Yulin looked at him at the same time: "What are you competing with us, a midfield engineer? You can pass the ball more than ten meters accurately, and we will applaud you!"

As for the other players, especially those freshmen and sophomores, when they joined the team, Hu Lai was no longer in the team. They had never trained or had contact with Hu Lai. In the current scene, he could only watch from the sidelines, he didn't dare to talk to Hu Lai at all, and he didn't dare to compete with Captain Xia and Deputy Chen...

In the end, the head coach Li Ziqiang who came back made the decision and asked Hu Lai to take turns to partner with other teammates.

That's what makes everyone happy.

After the whistle sounded, the training resumed. Hu Lai joined the team's training in casual clothes and a pair of professional sneakers.

The Dongchuan Middle School students in the stands watched Hu Lai’s performance attentively, and cheered and applauded for Hu Lai’s wonderful performance from time to time. If Hu Lai made a mistake, there would be good-natured laughter in the stands.

Students came from various places to watch Hu Lai's training one after another. In the end, many of them even stood on the side track and surrounded the entire football field with a human wall.

After Hu Lai on the field swept the football into the goal with a half-volley, the crowd burst into cheers.

Amidst the cheers, someone said with emotion: "I'm going, it's like a scene in a comic. I know what 'returning home' is..."
