Fox in the Penalty Area

The Chinese team defeated the South Korean team for the first time in 41 years, and this incident quickly became a hot news in the country that night.

On Weibo's hot topic ranking list, it became the number one hot topic on the list with a rocket speed. Not only has it become a carnival for fans, but it has also become a carnival for jokers.

"So what if Chinese football wins? It doesn't change the fact that South Korea is our grandson!"

"I'm so afraid that Koreans will say that Hu Lai is from Korea..."

"Thanks to Hu Lai for turning China, Japan and Korea into verbs!"

"I don't know if South Korea is the real descendant of the sun, but China is the real descendant of the dragon!"

"If miracles have a color, it must be Chinese red!"

"Comrades! Friends! The Chinese team won even the South Korean team, which hadn't won in 41 years. Why don't you work hard?!"

The screens of countless people are also swiped in the WeChat Moments. Almost everyone’s Moments will be liked by a large number of people in an instant, even those who don’t usually play Moments at all, causing others to exclaim: "I don’t like it." Did you know that you are also a Chinese fan?!"

In the "Goal" online forum, the Chinese football forum was slaughtered by posts related to this game.

"Thirty years of Chinese fans come to report! "

"Forty-Five Years of Chinese Fans Tears!" "

"Chinese football is elated! Koreaphobia is gone forever! "

Gentlemen, we are witnessing history! "

In station B, there is already a video of a black man carrying a coffin by a fast-handed UP owner. The coffin says "Koreaphobia". The four big black brothers who carry the coffin below have Hu Lai's profile picture, laughing cheaply Xi Xi's Hu Lai has a lively expression, which fits the theme very well.

Coupled with the suona version of the coffin-carrying BGM, it is really "inner flavor".

In less than an hour, there is a question on Zhihu about "The Chinese team defeated the South Korean team 3-0 in the East Asian Cup, breaking the 41-year 'Koreaphobia'. How do you evaluate this game?" More than 3,000 responses were received.

The epitaph with the highest number of likes is an epitaph written for "Koreaphobia": "Koreanphobia, born on August 25, 1982,

Died on March 13, 2023, at the age of forty... It was born wretchedly, and died happily... Today let us raise the wine glass in our hands and send it to the west! "

Longteng.com immediately sent everyone their translated comments on the results of the game under the Korean website news, so that Chinese netizens can see the views of Korean fans on the game.

Looking at the Korean fans who were showing off their power before the game, they shouted "disband the Olympic team!" "Li Anren dismissed get out of get out of class!" There has never been such a dark night!"...It made the Chinese fans feel very familiar and very friendly-as expected, no matter which country, after losing the game, they always scolded the same old people.

On short video sites such as Douyin and Kuaishou, there are many small videos that record the reactions of fans from all over the world after the game.

Some jumped up and cheered suddenly while rolling skewers at food stalls, and some chanted "Today, I will pay for the audience" in bars. Accompanied by the BGM of "the light of the righteous way shines on the earth".

The most popular ones are the "grand occasions" in the student dormitory buildings of various colleges and universities. After the competition, the students collectively sang songs such as "Singing the Motherland" and "March of the Volunteers" to express their joy.

In the picture taken by the mobile phone, impassioned singing came from the college dormitory buildings that were pitch-black with only bright lights in the windows.

"...the five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind! What a resounding victory song!"

Whether it is online or offline, photos and videos from all over the country have gathered a happy scene of "celestial celebration".

Chinese fans have never felt better than tonight!

Someone even expressed such emotion: "I believe that one day, if the Chinese team enters the World Cup, the celebration scene will be nothing more than that..."

Someone immediately refuted him: "No! It's a hundred times better!"

Of course, at such a joyous moment, there are always some unscrupulous people who come out to seek out smoke.

Some idiots who don't watch football at all, but know that Chinese football is weak and annoying, and they are sure to be right no matter how they scold, jump out at this moment to gain a sense of presence.

"I'm so happy after winning once in 41 years? Good luck! Everyone knows why Chinese football is so bad?"

"What's so happy about winning the substitute Olympic team?"

"To popularize science, 'Koreanphobia' refers to the fact that we have never won the Korean team in international A-level competitions. Everyone in the East Asian Cup is the National Olympic team, which is not considered an international A-level competition at all, so Even if you win, it's not a cure for 'Koreaphobia'..."

In the past, no matter how much they scolded Chinese football, there would indeed be many people on their side. This may have created an illusion for them, that is, no matter how, when, or why they scold, as long as they scold Chinese football, they will be invincible, and they are simply the light of righteousness.

But this time, it overturned.

"Who doesn't eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year? You can't be happy if you win, why do you still have to cry? Why, it turns out that your family just died, and others are not allowed to be happy? That's really gratifying!"

"First of all, the Chinese team is also the Olympic team. In addition, is it our fault that the Korean team has to send half the main force and half the substitute lineup? In the end, the Korean team changed three main players in the second half, and they didn't win. Football games, winning is If you win, do you care if you win the main team or the substitute? Could it be that the substitute does not represent the Korean team?"

"Hehe, if the Chinese team loses, they will scold them, and if the Chinese team wins, they will call it a substitute. If you co-author China, there should be no football, and the national team will be disbanded, right? The original PO is a fool, and a financial reporter comes here If it’s hot, just rub it hard!”

"Science, what about your mother! The East Asian Cup is an international A-level event recognized by FIFA. The result of this game is to be counted as FIFA points, which will directly affect the ranking of the two teams in FIFA! I don't understand anything. You are also worthy of learning popular science here?!"

When they thought they could gain popularity and get good reviews, they were overwhelmed by netizens who poured in and scolded them for being despicable, shameless and shameless...

Many people were stunned. They didn't understand why the national football team, which anyone could step on and spit out before, became a tiger's butt this time.

These people usually don’t watch football, and they don’t care about Chinese football, so naturally they don’t understand—no matter which club or national team Chinese fans usually like, only tonight, at this moment, they Only then can we utter this sentence openly:

"we won!"

Xie Lan put down the phone and let out a long breath.

She had just finished chatting with her son on WeChat.

Seeing her like this, Hu Lixin said, "Let me tell you, he must be fine."

Xie Lan glared at her husband: "You don't care at all!"

"Why don't I care anymore? I just know it won't be too bad... What did he say?"

"He said he was fine. The team took him to the local hospital for an examination just now, and he was indeed fine." Xie Lan said while continuing to put peanuts, sunflower seeds and candies into plastic bags.

"Stop pretending...if you pretend, you're done pretending at home." Hu Lixin stopped him.

"Look at your stingy look... Besides, our son scored a hat-trick and was not injured, so what if we divide up all the stock at home?" Xie Lan gave her husband a blank look, but he still showed mercy and didn't continue. Put it in that big plastic bag.

Then she tied the plastic bag carefully, leaving no gaps as much as possible to prevent the melon seeds from getting wet.

After doing all this, she had a sudden idea: "Hey, Hu. Do you think I should make a banner and hang it outside our balcony..."

"Banner? What do you want?"

"Just write something like 'Congratulations to Hu Lixin and Xie Lan's son Hu Lai for his hat-trick in his national team debut'..."

"Are you crazy!" Hu Lixin was startled.

"Isn't this being too low-key before, making others think we are easy to bully? You see, Sister Wang, who doesn't even know who Zhang Qinghuan is, dares to find fault with my son in front of me... No matter how low-key, I'm afraid someone will ride on my neck and shit and pee!"

"You're too high-profile... You should share candy with the people in your office. This is enough to let everyone know your son's hat-trick..." Hu Lixin wiped his sweat. If he really followed his wife's practice, he I have to follow my son's suggestion at the beginning and move away from here quickly...

Zhao Kangming put down the phone, with an unstoppable smile on his face: "Xiao Shi said, Hu Lai is fine, nothing at all!"

The wife also smiled: "Now you can sleep well."

"Oh, as the head coach of the club, the most worrying thing is that your players get injured in the national team game, and you can't even say a word..." Zhao Kangming was quite emotional.

Then he picked up the phone again: "No, I still have to chat with Hu Lai, and tell him not to do things that irritate the opponent during the game, so as not to be retaliated..."

He dialed Hu Lai's number while talking, but he put the phone down soon: "This kid didn't subscribe to international roaming!"

"You can find him on WeChat." The wife reminded.

"Oh, yes, WeChat!" Zhao Kangming started to make a video call on Hu Lai's WeChat.

※※※

"Director Zhao wronged me, I really didn't intend to provoke the other party..." Hu Lai said to the club's head coach Zhao Kangming on the screen while holding his mobile phone.

"You didn't? Don't think I didn't see the sign language conversation between you and that Sun Haomin." Zhao Kangming sneered.

"Ah, Director Zhao, you said that... That grandson shook his finger at me to say that I was not physically fit. I showed him two fingers to tell him that he would fight against both of us, and I would definitely not be able to fight him physically. ..."

"I believe you ghost!" Zhao Kangming was annoyed by Hu Lai. "Anyway, in the next game, please pay attention to me, don't get carried away, and don't get hurt!"

"But Director Zhao, it's impossible for me to never get hurt in my career..." Hu Lai spread his hands.

"I hope you will never get hurt!" Zhao Kangming snorted.

"Oh, Director Zhao, I take your good words, I take your good words..."

"Dad, did you watch the game? Hu Lai wore a hat during the game! Hat trick!"

Li Qingqing said excitedly during the video call with her father Li Ziqiang.

"I saw..." Looking at his daughter who was so excited, Li Ziqiang replied helplessly.

"Then dad, are you happy? Just ask if you are happy! That's your proud disciple!"

"I think you are happier than me." Li Ziqiang said coldly.

Li Qingqing suddenly realized the problem, and she quickly explained: "I am really happy, Dad. Because I have always had a very strange feeling in the stands today-when I was at school, I watched him want to join them The boys in the class had a football game, but no one wanted him, so he could only go to the sidelines to be a spectator... At that time, who would have thought that what they would reject was a striker who could score a hat-trick in the match against South Korea today! Thinking about it makes me laugh."

Li Ziqiang coughed and ignored his daughter's words: "By the way, how is his injury?"

"His injury? Oh, it's nothing... It is said that he has gone to the hospital for an examination, and nothing happened. It's good news. Everyone knows about it, and it has spread within the team." Li Qingqing made a patch calmly.

"Are you all right?" Li Ziqiang asked.

"It's okay. It's said that Hu Lai was lucky. Although he got the shovel, he fell fast and took off most of the impact force, so it didn't actually cause any damage. Some people on the Internet said that Hu Lai flopped Yes, if Hu Lai didn't fall in time, he might be really useless, so what if he flopped?" Speaking of this matter, Li Qingqing still couldn't hide his injustice.

After Li Qingqing finished speaking, she seemed relieved to see her father on the screen, but she didn't dare to confirm it, because the light on her father's side was too dim, and she couldn't see it clearly.

"Okay, I won't chat with you anymore, you should go to bed early, don't get too excited and sleepless." Li Ziqiang said.

"Don't worry, Dad. No, it's not that I scored three goals..."

"Yeah." Li Ziqiang nodded and cut off the video call.

Li Qingqing, who put down her phone, looked up at the night sky in Seoul—in order to make this video call with her father, she did not stay in the hotel room, but found a secluded corner in the back garden of the hotel.

Just an hour ago, the Chinese Olympic team took the bus back to the hotel where they stayed. I stood in the lobby with other teammates of the women's national football team, divided into two teams, and welcomed the returning Olympic team players. , applaud and cheer for them.

A day ago, the boys of the Olympic team also welcomed them who had won the ball.

But this time, she didn't see Hu Lai among the elated Olympic players.

He went to the hospital for examination.

Until she received a WeChat message from Hu Lai on WeChat, saying that after inspection, there was nothing wrong with his left ankle, and told her not to worry.

The stone in her heart was completely dropped.

If my father had called me an hour earlier, I am afraid that I would not be able to chat with my father so happily.

Hat-trick, breaking the "Koreaphobia", good health and ankle...

Looking at the starless, moonless, pitch-black night sky, Li Qingqing felt that this ordinary night was extraordinarily beautiful.

The evening wind is not cold, and insects are singing.

Spring is coming.
