Fox in the Penalty Area

"In the 31st round of the league, Leeds City challenged West Hertz, who is currently ranked eighth in the league. Although West Hertz scored the first goal in the game, the tenacious Leeds City evened the score in the 71st minute... ...In the end they managed to take away a point in the away game...Chinese player Hu Lai started the game and played the whole game, but failed to score...After the game, Hou Lai did not follow the team back to Leeds, but It is to go directly to London, take a plane to Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, and join the Chinese national team that has already arrived there, preparing for the top 12 match that is about to reignite the war..."

Before Leeds City went away to challenge West Hertz, the Chinese national team had already assembled and started training.

They first conducted a week-long training camp in China, and after the training camp, the final list of 23 people who signed up for the competition was released.

Then these 23 players flew to Abu Dhabi together with the coaching staff and staff of the national team to adapt to the local climate and venue in advance and continue to prepare for the game.

At this time, Leeds City had just left for Watford next to London to challenge West Hertz.

As soon as the game was over, Hu Lai changed his clothes in the locker room, said goodbye to the coach and teammates directly, took a taxi called by his manager Yong Jun, and took a taxi directly from Watford to London Heathrow Airport.

Yong Jun will not accompany him to Abu Dhabi, he will return to Leeds after sending him to the airport.

Hu Lai got on the plane alone and started running for the Chinese team's World Cup.

When he arrived at Abu Dhabi International Airport, as soon as he came out pushing the luggage cart, he saw many journalist-like people waiting outside.

Seeing him coming out, he pressed the shutter of the camera in his hand, and at the same time crowded forward.

Fortunately, Hong Renjie, the leader of the national team who had been contacted earlier, caught up with Hu Lai at the exit in time, blocked Hu Lai with his body, and kept saying to the Chinese and foreign reporters: "Please let me go, let me go. Please... "

But even so, a large number of microphones were stretched out in front of Hu Lai.

Everyone surrounded Hu Lai, and while walking out with him, they seized the time to ask questions.

"Hu Lai, are you tired from the journey?" Someone was concerned about Hu Lai's physical condition.

"Fortunately, I fell asleep on the plane." Hu Lai turned to look at the reporter who asked the question, and replied with a smile.

"Is the weather in Abu Dhabi suitable, Hu Lai?" Some people worry that the weather changes will affect Hou Lai's performance.

"It's really different from the UK,

But after all, it is on the earth, it must be suitable for human survival, stay for two more days and you will get used to it. It's not as hot as I thought..."

"This time the national team has many of your teammates from the Olympic team. What do you think of this?"

"Very happy, I can't wait to see them in the national team!"

He was really happy, after all, the six red envelopes distributed by six people in the Olympic team group totaled 3,000 yuan, and he grabbed nearly 600 yuan in total. Then after they joined the national team, they gave out a total of 1,200 yuan in the "newcomer report" red envelope in the national team group. Hu Lai grabbed another 160 yuan, which added up to about 760 yuan. He completely earned back the money he gave out when he joined the national team and gave out red envelopes.

A reporter from the UAE’s local media suddenly asked in English with a strong local accent: “Hu, what do you think about the fact that the Chinese team gave up many experienced veterans this time and chose to recruit a large number of players who have never played in the national team? What do the young players think? Do you think that affects the performance of the team?"

Hush and ask for warmth, the happy atmosphere was suddenly broken by a question.

The Chinese reporters all turned their heads to look at the bearded UAE reporter. Hong Renjie had an even more unfriendly expression. He pulled Rahourai's sleeve and signaled him to ignore him and leave quickly.

But Hu Lai asked back in English: "Excuse me, can you speak English? Sorry, I didn't understand your question..."

The other reporter's face suddenly became embarrassed. He also knew that he had a heavy accent, but he didn't expect to be pointed out by the interviewee in person. It was a bit... embarrassing.

Besides, don't I speak English? Look at other people's expressions, you know they understand, but you don't understand?

What's the meaning?

Don't want to answer my question? Not easy to answer?

It’s okay to answer badly!

It is to make you unable to step down!

The reporter slowed down his speech, as if he had returned to the time when he was just learning English, and tried to use the most standard pronunciation in his life: "I speak English, Hu. Would you like to give up many experienced players from the Chinese team?" Veterans, and what do you think of choosing to recruit a large number of young players who have never played for the national team? Do you think this will affect the performance of the team?"

After finishing speaking, he still stared at Hu Lai: I want to see what else you can say!

"Ah—" After hearing what the other party said, Hu Lai suddenly realized and nodded, and then continued to ask in English: "Then can you speak Chinese? I'm sorry, my English is very poor..."

There was low laughter that was trying to suppress in the crowd of Chinese reporters.

The UAE reporter heard Hu Lai speaking fluent and standard Oxford accent, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He really didn't expect a dignified Premier League player to score five goals in three Premier League games, and was elected the best Chinese football player of the round and the best player of the game twice... to be so shameless!

Hong Renjie lowered his head and suppressed a smile, pushing Hu Lai's luggage cart and speeding forward. Coupled with the fact that the Chinese reporters covered up, they got rid of the UAE reporter who was obviously here to make trouble.

After they walked away, the joyous laughter reached the ears of the UAE reporter.

"You...Actually, you can just ignore him and pretend you didn't hear him. It's impossible for him to drag you and insist on answering questions." After getting into the car, Hong Renjie tactfully criticized Qi Hulai.

"Leader Hong, if I don't say anything, don't I let him play freely? When the time comes, their media will say that I keep secret about the change of our national team and dare not face it. And then spread the publicity, it seems that we have ghosts in our hearts Same." Hu Lai, who was sitting in the back row, said.

"But have you ever thought that if you are like this, they can also say that you are rambling, gossiping about him, unwilling to answer the question directly, but messing around... differently, it can be concluded that you have a ghost in your heart Conclusion?" Hong Renjie frowned and pointed out the loopholes in Hu Lai's explanation.

But Hu Lai smiled: "That's okay, Team Leader Hong. At least the reporter who hated me was speechless. I'm happy. Since no matter what I do, they have something to say, so I might as well have a good time by myself." .Even if it counts, I'm not at a loss, don't you think, Team Leader Hong?"

Hong Renjie was speechless, he didn't expect that Hu Lai had this idea...

When Hu Lai teased the other reporter just now, he really felt very happy and enjoyable. If it weren't for his special status and the influence of being reported out, he would have laughed out loud at the scene.

He was just worried that doing so would get Hu Lai himself into trouble.

But he thought again, what kind of trouble could Hu Lai get into?

Emirati media attack?

How does this affect Hu Lai? How many Chinese people pay attention to what the UAE media say every day?

Not to mention that the Chinese will blame Hu Lai for damaging China's image because the UAE media scolded Hu Lai?

Times have changed, and now is no longer the time when even jumping on the podium to receive an award will be criticized by a well-known author for being unmannered.

On the contrary, if you can be scolded by foreign media, maybe you will become more popular, more prestigious, and more popular in China—of course there will still be some elders and children who will criticize you, but these people and their voices They are no longer able to become the mainstream of this society and era. They can only die as time goes by.

With Hu Lai's current performance in the Premier League, it is even less likely that he will be punished in China because of his attitude towards the UAE media, unless the collective brains of the Football Association are broken.

Of course, it was really hard to say before. But now after thorough and in-depth reforms, it is impossible for this kind of thing that makes loved ones hurt and enemies happy to happen again.

So thinking about it this way, even if Hu Lai is not so friendly to the reporters in the UAE today, it seems that he really won't encounter any serious trouble... At most, he will be booed by the opponent fans during the game.

But can this be considered troublesome?

※※※

After Hu Lai arrived at the hotel where the Chinese team was staying, he happened to meet Wang Guangwei, Zhang Qinghuan and Chen Xingyi who had gone out to buy some souvenirs there.

He immediately greeted me happily: "Oh, you said that you are really... What gifts do you bring to greet me..."

He naturally wanted to get the plastic bag in Wang Guangwei's hand.

Fortunately, Zhang Qinghuan snatched the bag quickly with sharp eyesight and hid it behind her back: "Show face, Hu Lai. We just happened to meet you when we came back from outside."

Seeing this, Hu Lai turned around and complained to the team leader Hong Renjie next to him: "Team leader Hong, when will our national team allow players to go out without permission?"

"Hu Lai, what the hell..." Zhang Qinghuan said angrily even though Team Leader Hong was standing beside him.

Before he finished speaking, he saw Hu Lai laughing and turned around to hug Wang Guangwei and Chen Xingyi: "Welcome, welcome, the national team welcomes you! We are together again!"

Wang Guangwei and Chen Xingyi didn't appreciate it: "Of course you are welcome, you have snatched the red envelopes from both of us!"

"Oh, we are all brothers. One family doesn't speak two different languages. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine..."

"Hu Lai, pay attention to your image. You are the hope of the whole village now. Don't let people say that your image is bad..." Wang Guangwei persuaded.

"Hey, if I care about this, I can only hold back at the airport just now..." Hu Lai recounted what he was provoked by UAE reporters at the airport just now.

The three young men were a little overwhelmed: "Fuck, the people in West Asia really have no good intentions!"

"It's okay, I've already turned back!"

"But you also offended the UAE fans, Hu Lai..."

"I'm afraid of a ghost. If you offend, you will offend. What a big deal?" Hu Lai pouted nonchalantly. "The United Arab Emirates is the weakest in the group. If we are afraid of them, then don't even think about the World Cup. They don't deserve it!"

"Hu Lai is right, you still need to be confident." Zhang Qinghuan also agreed with Hu Lai's opinion. "What about the away game? We must win this game!"

When Hong Renjie saw the scene of the young man beside him, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He feels that the Chinese team's trip to the top 12 may really have hope.

Because of the vigor of these young people.

From this point of view alone, it was the right decision for Shi Wuyin to insist on recruiting these young people. Because as the head coach of the national team, he gave young people the confidence to show their vigor and show their sharpness.

Unlike Wilson before, he only thought about relying on veterans, and wished to lock up young people in iron boxes, for fear that their sharp edges would pierce their pockets.

The Chinese team's World Cup qualifiers are coming to an end, let these young people go and stir up a pool of spring water, maybe they can see the light again?

Hope, hope so...
