Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 89 I Have a Dream

Hu Lai, who returned to the dormitory, finally bid farewell to those enthusiastic new teammates, closed the door, and there were only him and Wang Guangwei in the dormitory.

Wang Guangwei, who had already sat back on the chair, sighed: "I thought it would be difficult for us to integrate into this team when we are newcomers. I didn't expect... Hu Lai, why are you so good!"

Hu Lai glanced at the top of Wang Guangwei's head: "Why am I so powerful, didn't you already know?"

Wang Guangwei felt Hu Lai's gaze, and he cursed: "Go to hell!"

Hu Lai laughed out loud.

When he finished laughing, Wang Guangwei's expression darkened suddenly and he said, "That's not right."

"No, what's wrong?"

"It suddenly occurred to me that this might not be a good thing." Wang Guangwei frowned.

"Isn't it a good thing to meet new teammates and mingle with everyone?"

"Did you notice that I came to say hello to you? Almost everyone who knows you has played with us in the Chinese Premier League. They have played against us in the league, or people who know you. But most of them play in the Chinese Super League. None of the ball players came. Except for Song Kun and Wang Zijian, there was...that who..." Wang Guangwei couldn't remember the other party's name.

"Gao Ruimin?"

"Yes, yes, that's him. Gao Ruimin just came. There are twenty-five players in the Chinese Super League in this training team, and most of them have played in this team before. Teammates, they can represent this team. But they seem to have chosen to watch from the sidelines... I thought, could it be that scene in the restaurant stimulated them? It made them have bad associations ..." Wang Guangwei analyzed.

"What bad associations can this have? I was eating there, and they came to greet me, and I didn't take the initiative to attract others." Hu Lai spread his hands.

"You are indeed eating there, but don't you think that you can attract so many teammates to come to see you, say hello to you, and chat with you just because you come to have a meal... On the contrary, it seems that you are this kind of person. The boss of the team? Everyone comes to worship you, but the real veterans turn a blind eye... What do you make the old players think?"

Hu Lai was dumbfounded: "Isn't it? Not so much, right? The training team, which is not counted as the Olympic team, is still playing with cliques and seniority?"

"Clique formation and seniority ranking are indispensable everywhere. Do you think there are no flash stars? It's just that you followed me as soon as you came in, and I can barely be regarded as an 'old team member'." Wang Guangwei held his head up, somewhat said proudly.

"Yes, yes, thank you, senior brother, for taking care of me!" Hu Lai hurriedly cupped his hands. "Little brother is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for you, washing the dishes every once in a while!"

Wang Guangwei was amused by Hu Lai: "Then I still cook..."

Then he said sternly: "I won't talk about this. I'm just worried that some people will feel that you stole their limelight, so they will be upset with you and will deliberately make things difficult for you and exclude you in the next training. For the competition, 30 or 5 people came in, and in the end only 23 people could go to South Korea to play the East Asian Cup. And if they can go to South Korea to play the East Asian Cup, there is a great chance to participate in the U23 Asian Cup next year, which is the Olympic qualifier !"

He spoke very seriously and his tone was very serious, but Hu Lai waved his hands nonchalantly: "Old Wang, I think you add a little too much drama. From my experience, no matter in the previous Dongchuan school team,

Still in Flash Star, football is actually very simple-you are outstanding, and everyone will obey you, believe in you, accept you, and recognize you. Your strength is meager (dialect, meaning rotten), so no matter how well-rounded you are, no matter how likable you are. Let me ask you, if someone finds me unhappy, will they find opportunities to kick my knees and ankles during training and ruin my career? "

Wang Guangwei quickly waved his hand: "What are you thinking! No way! At most, you won't pass the ball to you during training, and no one will pay attention to you after the game..."

"Hey, what's there to worry about?" Hu Lai shook his head. "If you don't pass the ball to me, I don't believe that the head coach is a vegetarian, so I just watch them mess around like this? As for ignoring me..."

He looked at Wang Guangwei with a playful smile: "They ignore me, so you ignore me?"

"Of course I understand..."

"Then it's over!" Hu Lai slapped her across the face. "Don't worry about such things."

Then he picked up his phone and someone texted him on WeChat.

It was from Li Qingqing: "They say you are Guan Xinyan's backup! [smirk]"

Hu Lai raised a question mark: "Who is Guan Xinyan?"

※※※

The next day was the first training session of the Olympic team and the women's national team at the Hongfengling training base, which attracted a lot of media reports and attention.

For the convenience of friends from the media, the interview time of the National Olympic Games and the women's national team is also separated. The women's football team conducts interviews before training, and the media is allowed to shoot during the first 15 minutes of training.

The interview time of the Olympic Games is allowed to be filmed by the media 15 minutes before the end of the training after the end of the training.

These media first went to the women's football training ground to interview the players of the women's national team.

Li Qingqing was naturally the focus of the reporters. She was wearing training clothes and stood on the sidelines to accept the reporters' interviews. All the reporters pointed their guns and short cannons at her, and the microphones were stretched out in front of her.

Ask her about the East Asian Cup and her outlook for the Women's World Cup next summer.

Li Qingqing's answer was quite satisfactory, similar to the kind of answer that you often see on TV:

"...we're going to a big game...hopefully we can win...what matters is the performance of the team..."

Although the specific content is different, the general structure is the same.

When it comes to the East Asian Cup and the World Cup, Li Qingqing expressed the hope that the team can achieve good results, the important thing is the team, they are a collective. What? You say the fans are very concerned about my performance? Sorry, I don't care about my personal performance.

This kind of answer is quite satisfactory, and the most important advantage is "safety". It won't get into any trouble because of saying the wrong thing, and it won't make people have the idea of ​​taking her answer out of context and distorting it.

But the downside is that it's boring.

"Now I can understand why everyone says that Li Qingqing is very popular and has a good relationship with everyone... It's really hard to offend anyone with this answer." Zhang Chao, an intern reporter from the "Goal" website Looking at Li Qingqing, who was being interviewed by a reporter from CCTV Sports Channel, outside the crowd, he shook his head and sighed. "It's just a bit too boring, with no personality, and it's the same for anyone to answer."

"Boring?" An obviously elderly reporter next to him snorted, "As long as Li Qingqing appears in the camera, any answer is interesting. Do you think those audience fans care about what Li Qingqing answers? No, They just want to see the beauty of 'the flower of women's football'."

Li Qingqing's frowns and smiles in front of the camera are enough to attract attention, and many reporters who watched the interview with them couldn't help smiling.

You must know that Li Qingqing's answer was not very happy. They just watched from the side and didn't listen to what Li Qingqing said at all. All of them could be so happy.

Zhang Chao looked away from the smiling reporters, and said to the old reporters beside him: "Mr. Fang, of course I know how attractive Li Qingqing is. I just feel... a bit regretful, such a beautiful player, but Like a marionette, without a mind of its own..."

Veteran reporter Fang Daming glanced at the trainee reporter he brought along: "Put away your thoughts of making a big news. Just relying on media interviews, you can see a woolly thought! Do you know that people have no thoughts? They just don't care I’m just telling you! The so-called individuality and thoughtfulness are just carefully designed and deliberately displayed in front of you, a reporter! Everyone is acting, so what are you doing seriously?”

Zhang Chao, who was reprimanded by the old reporter, did not dare to speak anymore.

※※※

After the media finished filming the last fifteen minutes of the Olympic team's training, without the reporters mentioning the interview, Ran Jiachang, the team leader of the Olympic team, had Shi Wuyin order two people to come over for an interview.

The first person whose name was called was Guo Junfu, the main midfielder of the Olympic team, and the most eye-catching talented player besides Guan Xinyan.

He played for Shangdu Shenwei in the Chinese Super League. As a U23 player, he made 22 starts in the Chinese Super League last season.

Of course, because of the existence of the U23 policy, it is meaningless to only look at the number of league appearances of a U23 player. After all, the policy requires that each team must have at least one U23 player to start each game.

But in addition to starting, there are still many things that can be seen from this player's performance. For example, look at the playing time-the U23 policy also stipulates that at least one U23 player must play more than 60 minutes to meet the standard.

So if the U23 player always plays more than 60 minutes, does it mean that he is not a beneficiary of the U23 policy, but actually won the qualification by virtue of his strength?

Guo Junfu is such a person.

He made 22 starts in the Chinese Super League last season, 10 of which played the whole game, and the number of games with more than 60 minutes of playing time reached 20 times.

This kind of performance is enough to prove his status in the Shangdu Shenwei team.

Like Guan Xinyan, he is also the target of the club's key training.

At the same time, he is also the core midfielder of the Olympic team.

He came out to be interviewed on behalf of the team, and everyone had no objection.

In addition to Guo Junfu, another person who was named for an interview was Wang Guangwei.

If Guo Junfu is an old player who was originally in the Olympic team and a representative of the Chinese Super League players, then Wang Guangwei is naturally a representative of the Chinese Premier League players and those players who were selected for the Olympic training team for the first time.

Why is Wang Guangwei the representative?

Shi Wuyin may consider that Wang Guangwei performed well in the Chinese League One last season, and his level and ability are also very convincing. Coupled with his calm personality, he will not make any mistakes when facing reporters.

When these two people were interviewed, this was indeed the case, and their performance was quite satisfactory.

Talk about scenes like team first and going all out.

But that's enough. The reporters took pictures of what they wanted, and when they went back and edited it into news, it could be broadcast, and the task was completed.

But just after Guo Junfu and Wang Guangwei finished the interview, someone raised their hand: "Team leader Ran, team leader Ran, can you find another person to be interviewed?"

Fang Daming glared hard at Zhang Chao who raised his hand next to him - he knew this kid was dishonest!

The question just now was sent by Zhang Chao.

Ran Jiachang didn't seem to care, but looked at the young reporter with a smile and said, "Sure, who else do you want to interview?"

"Hu Lai!" Zhang Chao pointed at the figure on the court and said loudly.

"Why do you want to interview him?" Ran Jiachang asked.

"As the youngest player in the U22 training team this time, and also the best young player in the Chinese League One last season, I don't think I'm the only one interested in him, right?" Zhang Chao said. Don't forget to drag everyone else into the water.

Fang Daming felt that this kid was in a mess.

But other reporters all echoed Zhang Chao: "Yes, yes! We also want to interview Hu Lai, and we want to hear what he, the youngest U22 player, has to say!"

Seeing that so many reporters were interested in Hu Lai, Ran Jiachang winked at the head coach Shi Wuyin.

Guo Junfu, who was about to leave, stopped after seeing this scene.

These reporters even volunteered to interview Hu Lai?

Yesterday in the restaurant, Guo Junfu was quite surprised to see all the members of the China League One running to greet and get acquainted with him.

Today is even more exaggerated, so the media reporter actually asked to interview him? Even if he scored eleven goals in the Chinese League One last season, it's a bit exaggerated, right?

You know, even Guan Xinyan doesn't get this kind of treatment...

What kind of magical power does this kid have?

He decided to stand by and listen.

※※※

Hu Lai was quickly called and stood in front of the media cameras for an interview.

Although he is a newcomer to the national team, Hu Lai did not show the slightest timidity in the face of these long guns and short guns. He even had a smile on his face, looking very sophisticated.

After all, he is also a professional player who has scored 11 goals in half a season. It is not uncommon for him to be interviewed by the media.

Even before he entered professional football, he had already had the experience of being interviewed by reporters when he was playing for the Dongchuan Middle School football team.

Therefore, the current scene cannot frighten him.

"May I ask Hu Lai, as the youngest player in the team, what is it like to be selected for the U22 national team at the age of 19?"

What experience?

When Hu Lai heard this question, he suspected that the reporter who asked the question came from Zhihu...

He blinked: "If you don't tell me, I'd forget that I'm the youngest here, ha!"

Then he thought about what Wang Guangwei was worried about last night, and added: "The big brothers here take good care of me. When I first came, when I didn't know the way, there were enthusiastic teammates who took me to report and eat. Everyone greeted me warmly... When I came in, I found that everyone here is talented, and they speak nicely, and I really like being there..."

His answer drew laughter from the reporters.

Zhang Chao was especially excited, as expected, this Hu Lai was the most interesting!

It's nice and funny to speak, it's just a talent...

Hu Lai's style of painting is completely different from the two players who were interviewed before. Guo Junfu didn't know what to say when he heard Hu Lai answering reporters' questions like this.

It's not that Hu Lai is the only one in the team who knows how to joke.

But Hu Lai was the only one who dared to be so rude in front of the media reporters... Others always had to assess their image to some extent, and some were worried about saying the wrong thing and getting into trouble.

Then the reporters asked some questions, including the East Asian Cup.

Hu Lai is a little more serious in this regard, but he still has his own style: "I will strive to participate in the East Asian Cup. I hope that I and the team will perform well!"

He did not say that the team is the priority, but that he hopes that both the individual and the team will perform well.

Zhang Chao keenly noticed the difference between this and others.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and asked Hu Lai: "Hu Lai, you were selected for the U22 training team when you were nineteen years old, and you were able to score eleven goals in the Chinese League One when you were eighteen. This is only the first season of your career. What is your vision for the future?"

Fang Daming, who originally thought that Zhang Chao was messing around, couldn't help but nodded when he heard him ask such a question. This was not a question of "just messing around", and he didn't waste this interview opportunity.

"Looking forward to the future..."

But what surprised the reporters was that when faced with this question, Hu Lai was not as clever as before, but thoughtful, and then he asked Zhang Chao who asked the question: "Well, can you say anything you want?" ?”

Zhang Chao shook his head: "Of course, you have to tell the truth, Hu Lai. This is a truth-telling adventure!"

Hearing what he said, Hu Lai smiled.

The other reporters also looked at him, expecting him to speak the truth.

Hu Lai thought of the time and space when he came. Zheng Zhi received a red card for himself with a chasing foul in front of the penalty area in the last round of the Russian World Cup Asian qualifiers, but at the same time he was also a red card for the Chinese team. A shred of hope of going to Russia is retained, even if it is only a theoretical hope.

That was the last contribution Zheng Zhi, the Chinese captain, made to Chinese football's impact on the World Cup.

Although this contribution was meaningless in the end, the Chinese team fell outside the World Cup finals again.

He also thought of Qin Lin saying sorry to the Chinese fans after quitting the national team in this time and space.

The images of the two of them overlapped together, and those people in the history of Chinese football in the two time and space overlapped together.

In that time and space, although the Chinese team entered the World Cup finals once, it seemed that all the good luck in the second half of Chinese football's life was spent at one time, and Chinese football was not as good as every year after that.

In this time and space, the Chinese team has never entered the World Cup finals, and everyone is still waiting hard.

Fans have gray hair, players have exhausted their lives.

Four years of reincarnation, one round after another, thirty years, forty years, sixty years, time just slipped away mercilessly.

Looking back, a full Jiazi has passed.

Chinese football is still on the way.

Chinese football is always on the road.

Chinese football starts all over again.

Chinese football starts all over again.

Chinese football is no longer worthy to represent this country, and it is far from the image of this increasingly powerful country, and even later became a joke and scandal of this country...

Thinking of this, Hu Lai said to the camera and the microphone: "Looking forward to the future, I have a dream. I dream that one day I will be able to wear the jersey of the Chinese team and win the World Cup!"

Zhang Chao was stunned, Fang Daming beside him was stunned, and the reporters surrounding Hu Lai were stunned.

The head coach of the Olympic team, Shi Wuyin, was stunned, and the leader of the Olympic team, Ran Jiachang, was stunned.

Wang Guangwei was stunned, and Guo Junfu, who was standing by and wanted to hear what Hu Lai had to say, was also stunned.

They seem to have heard some great declaration, but they seem to have heard a gigantic joke...
