Fox in the Penalty Area

Hu Lai's hat-trick completely destroyed Haizhou Fangda, and before the end of the game, they conceded another goal, this time an own goal.

Flash Star finally defeated Haizhou Fangda 5:0 at home, and Hu Lai was replaced in advance before the end of the game again.

But this early replacement is different from the previous replacement due to exhaustion of physical energy, although his own physical energy is indeed running low...

Zhao Kangming replaced him just to allow him to accept the cheers and applause from the fans at home.

This is his own moment.

When he was replaced, all Flash Star fans stood up and applauded and cheered for him.

Amid the thunderous applause, Hu Lai walked off the field all the way, raised his hands to applaud the fans in the stands, with a bright smile on his face, like a little sun in this night game.

Wang Guangwei stood on the field with his hands on his hips, looking at Hu Lai's back.

It's really amazing, I clearly hated him at the beginning, but now I see this scene, but I'm really happy for him...

This kid!

No, you must ask him to treat you to dinner!

And never invite him around the university town, let him go to the high-end restaurant on Senwei Road to bleed!

While Chen Jianyu in the media seat applauded Hu Lai, the dilapidated small open space full of weeds appeared before his eyes.

The imaginative reporter couldn't help wondering whether the teenager would raise his hands and imagine that he heard cheers coming from all directions after he shot the football to the goal alone in the open space, and saw thousands of cheers. Waving your hands in front of yourself...

If so, I don’t know if he thought at that time that one day, he would really see ten times, a hundred times thousands of hands waving in front of him and applauding him?

Why is the dream always sung by people with enthusiasm countless times, isn't it because it is so beautiful?

It gives people hope, leads people to pursue it, and in the process, those who chase their dreams become better and better...

They searched for the light and became the light themselves.

Peng Hao turned his head in surprise to look at the Haizhou Fangda fans beside him. They also stood up at this moment, applauding Hu Lai who was going off.

Just like those flash star fans in the distance.

But aren't they fans of Haizhou Fangda? Shouldn't they hate and loathe Hu Lai who scored their three goals?

Why did you applaud him instead?

Peng Hao, who was standing there without moving, also attracted the attention of the people around him. They turned their heads and glanced at the sluggish Peng Hao, thinking that he was a partner who couldn't accept the team's disastrous defeat by Shining Star, so they persuaded: "Oh! , young man, don't take it too seriously. Your skills are not as good as others, and if you lose, you lose...Be open-minded. No. 33 played really well. There is nothing to say, and don't be too stingy when it's time to applaud. People say we can't afford to lose."

Hearing what the other party said, Peng Hao quickly slapped his hands vigorously and shouted loudly: "Okay! Good kick!"

It can be regarded as an opportunity to cheer for my cousin in an aboveboard manner.

Cousin awesome!

Ever since his cousin dared to fight with three people alone when he was young, he knew that his cousin was awesome...

The Haizhou Fangda fans next to him looked at the young man whose hands were all red, and persuaded him: "It doesn't have to be like this..."

※※※

"Wow, the fans of Haizhou Fangda are also applauding for Hu Lai!" When the game was broadcast to the stands of the fans of the visiting team, the commentator of Anton Satellite TV exclaimed.

In the picture, fans wearing Haizhou Fangda jerseys also applauded Hu Lai with serious expressions.

After losing the game, they were all in a bad mood, so they couldn't smile on their faces.

But even so, they still stood in front of their respective seats and applauded for Hu Lai who scored their three goals.

"This scene is not common..." Guest commentator Lu Guanlin said with emotion. "Hu Lai has conquered Haizhou Fangda fans with this hat-trick. What an amazing young man!"

※※※

Amidst the continuous cheers and applause, Hu Lai finally walked off the stage. This process was a bit long, because he deliberately walked slowly and wanted to enjoy this moment more.

But neither the opponent player nor the referee came up to urge him.

Let this young man enjoy the glory brought to him by the first hat-trick of his career.

Then he first bowed to the head coach Zhao Kangming, who was waiting to hug him with open arms, before going up to hug him.

When Chen Mo saw this scene from the side, he clapped his hands happily and laughed again.

Of course, he also waited for Hu Lai's hug and high five.

Then Hu Lai high-fived the members of the coaching staff and teammates on the bench one by one, and finally sat down in his seat.

Zhang Xiaolei and Han Xiangfei gave him a thumbs up.

"Awesome!"

Hu Lai slumped on the chair, although he was laughing weakly, he was still laughing.

Hu Lixin glanced at the time on his phone. It was 15 minutes past 9:00. He reckoned that the game started at 7:30. Even if there was stoppage time, it should be over by now.

In other words, he can go home.

In fact, he has been bitten by the mosquitoes downstairs in his own house, and he has to smoke desperately, using cigarettes instead of mosquito coils to repel mosquitoes.

Just when he was about to take his phone back, a message popped up with a ding dong.

[Jincheng Headlines]: In the just-concluded 24th round of China League One, Shining Star Football Club beat Haizhou Fangda 5-0 at home. The young player Hu Lai scored three goals in the game and completed the hat ...

The text that can be displayed in the notification pop-up window is limited, but it happens to display all the important information-with Hu Lixin's understanding of football, how could he not know that the word "completion of the hat" is followed by "trick"?

so……

Hu Lixin's eyes widened.

My son actually completed a hat-trick in a professional game! ?

He immediately understood what was going on with the wife screaming that he heard downstairs just now...

After figuring out the reason, Hu Lixin immediately gave up the idea of ​​going home now. Because he can almost imagine that as soon as he opens the door, he will face his wife's saturated show off...

Don't let that woman succeed!

So he turned around and walked back to the edge of the flower bed, sat down on the edge of the concrete platform, crossed his legs, lit another cigarette, took a puff and held it by his feet, letting the smoke indistinctly fade away.

At the same time, he didn’t turn on the phone again—he could think on his knees that if he turned on the phone now, he might be bombarded by pop-up windows from several other news and information apps—but he chose to look at the lights in the residential building in front of him in a trance .

There are only a few people in those windows, and there are voices coming out. It is the sound of mothers helping their children with homework and losing their temper, the sound of drinking and punching at home, it is the costume drama on the TV in the living room, and it is the whisper of someone standing on the balcony on the phone.

After nine o'clock in the evening, this old residential area is still very lively.

It is the tenderest moment in this city.

It would be better if there were not so many mosquitoes...

Hu Lixin raised his hand and took a deep breath of the cigarette, then turned his head and exhaled the smoke around himself.

Li Ziqiang waited until the post-match press conference was over, then turned off the TV, got up and walked to the bedroom.

At the just-concluded press conference, Hu Lai became the name that media reporters rushed to mention.

As the coach who personally brought Hu Lai from the football team of Dongchuan Middle School to the Poseidon Youth Team, and then from the Poseidon Youth Team to the Flash Star First Team, Zhao Kangming wanted to answer all kinds of questions from the reporters about Hu Lai.

"I have been paying attention to him since the first national competition he participated in. Until the second national competition, he led Dongchuan Middle School to win the championship, and he also won the honor of top scorer and best player... I Knowing that he is very talented, and his performance today proved it, I am very happy for him, he deserves it all... He is always the one who works the hardest in training, so he He just came to the team and won the trust and support of his teammates. I think this is inseparable from his own efforts. After all, although luck is a factor in destiny, it is also inseparable from self-struggle of……"

When watching Zhao Kangming talking to Hu Lai in front of the camera, without concealing his admiration for this young man, Li Ziqiang thought of what he said when facing the camera of Anton Satellite TV's "Character History".

"...Actually, I didn't want to recruit him into the team at the beginning. I didn't think much about his future...Why was he recruited later? I just wanted to give him a chance. It's not a big deal to me. things, but he may need this opportunity very much... I really didn't expect him to work so hard, no, it should be said to be 'desperate'. He trained really hard, because this opportunity did not come easily to him..."

When interviewed by Chen Jianyu, Li Ziqiang did not brag about his contribution to nurturing Hu Lai. Instead, he directly told the other party that he didn't like this person at first.

It's just that when Chen Jianyu asked him why he recruited Hu Lai into the school team even though he hated Hu Lai, he didn't tell the truth.

Instead, I found a reason that sounded good.

He didn't want the media to know the relationship between Hu Lai and his daughter...

Li Ziqiang, who returned to the bedroom, cast a gentle look at the family photo on the desk.

Just then, his phone rang.

Li Ziqiang was a little surprised that it was his daughter who called.

I just saw the photo of my daughter, and I was thinking about her, and her phone came. Is this the telepathy between father and daughter?

A smile appeared on Li Ziqiang's face, and then he connected the phone.

"Dad, Dad... Dad, did you watch the flashing star game just now?"

As soon as the phone was connected, my daughter's eager voice came from the receiver.

That's what he said...the smile on Li Ziqiang's face froze.

"I didn't read it." He replied in a calm tone.

"Eh?! Why didn't you watch it?!" Hearing Dad's answer, the daughter's voice rose an octave on the phone.

"Why do I want to watch a China League One game?" Li Ziqiang asked back.

"No... Dad, that's your favorite disciple's game! As his coach, shouldn't you always pay attention to your disciple's situation?"

"Who told you that he belongs to my favorite disciple?"

"Isn't it? Since he joined the school team, Dad, you have paid special attention to him, formulated targeted plans for him, and strictly demanded him... Dad, if you don't like him, why are you so concerned about him? Just put Wouldn’t it be over if he just left it aside to fend for himself? At that time, he wanted foundation without foundation, ability without ability, so what’s the use of talent?”

Hearing what his daughter said, Li Ziqiang froze with his mobile phone.

Li Qingqing was still muttering on the phone: "...If it weren't for your careful training, Dad, what future would Hu Lai have? You have high hopes for him, and you can't bear him to waste his talent? Since Dad, you spent So much effort has been put into him, and now he has finally stepped into the professional arena successfully. How can you not pay attention to him or watch his games? I read the news that he scored a hat-trick in this game, and told my dad Why don't you call to inquire about the details of the game... I'm on the Shanhai side, and I can't watch the live broadcast of the game at all. And Dad, you are within the signal coverage of Anton Satellite TV's sports channel, so you didn't seize such a good opportunity Stay, it's just..."

Li Ziqiang finally came back to his senses. He coughed and interrupted his daughter's criticism of him: "Even if it's what you said, Hu Lai is my favorite disciple, so what's the matter with you caring about him so much?"

Li Qingqing smiled over there: "Dad, Hu Lai is my classmate. I went to Dongchuan Middle School for one semester, and when I left, I only made two friends, and Hu Lai was one of them. As a friend , and he is also a friend who has embarked on a career path like me, of course I have to pay attention to him."

"Since we are friends, don't you have his contact information?" Li Ziqiang asked casually.

Li Qingqing on the other end of the phone almost blurted out: "He didn't tell me exactly how he scored the goal! He insisted on giving me three meals in exchange!"

But at this moment, a sense of crisis suddenly flooded into her mind, changing her answer to: "No, I was in a hurry back then...and if I wanted his contact information, I asked him directly Well……"

"You don't even have contact information, and you still say you are friends?" Li Ziqiang snorted coldly.

"Friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, Dad..." Li Qingqing smiled obsequiously over there, and then said: "In short, Dad, you should pay more attention to your proud disciple. You don't want to see the disciple you cultivated with your own hands. Can the players who come out achieve any results in professional football?"

Li Ziqiang sighed slightly: "Okay, I will pay attention to that brat..."

※※※

Li Qingqing hung up the phone, switched to WeChat, and looked at the last sentence of the chat record between Hu Lai and herself:

"Want to know? If you want to know that you invited me to three meals, I will tell you!"

She originally wanted to get information related to this match from her father, so that she would not have to bow her head and admit defeat in front of Hu Lai.

In the end, he didn't expect that his father didn't care about Hu Lai at all, and didn't watch his game!

It just pissed me off!

Li Qingqing stared at the phone screen and frowned for a long time, then reluctantly typed: "Okay, okay, three meals will be three meals, anyway, you owe me a lot, it's worth it!"

Finally, I carried everything alone...

※※※

Whether it is the "Goal" website's China League One forum, the campus football forum, or the "Goal" website's news pop-up window, there is news about Hu Lai's hat-trick in the just-concluded game.

When Chen Xingyi saw the news, he was very glad that he had hacked Hu Lai long ago, otherwise he would be attacked by Hu Lai for showing off again...

Isn't it because when he was selected for the first time in the big list, he ran to pretend to be forced and got slapped in the face by himself?

Why is this person so vengeful!

But it doesn't matter how much you hold grudges, it's all blocked anyway...

Thinking of this, Chen Xingyi relaxed and entered WeChat, and then found that someone in Moments had posted a new Moments, and the avatar of the person who posted Moments surprised him—it was Wang Guangwei!

Based on his understanding of Wang Guangwei, he knew that although this person had WeChat, he never posted on Moments.

If you only look at the circle of friends, you will never remember that you added him. But you can see his name in the address book, and if you have something to contact him on WeChat, you will be able to find someone. He seems to use WeChat as a contact tool, just an advanced text message...

The sun comes out from the north?

Patients with severe social media phobia actually post to Moments?

Hey, I want to see what he posted on his first Moments...

Thinking of this, Chen Xingyi reached out and clicked in.

Wang Guangwei's circle of friends is the first one, just posted.

Wang Guangwei: "Chen Xingyi, Hu Laituo, let me tell you something..."

Then here is a photo:

Hu Lai stood next to the tactical board in the locker room after the game. The original content on the white tactical board has been erased, and several large characters were written:

Hat trick, huh!

"Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck!!"

Chen Xingyi wished he could poke his eyes in.

※※※

Wang Guangwei put away his mobile phone and said to Hu Lai: "Hey, I posted to Moments as you said, and now you are going to treat me to two meals."

Hu Lai curled his lips: "Old Wang, you post a Moments, and earn a meal with just a few fingers, you are really awesome..."

"This is my first circle of friends! Isn't it worth a meal?" Wang Guangwei said angrily.

Hu Lai was shocked: "Fuck me? Old Wang, you gave it to me the first time?!"

"Climb for me!"
