Fox in the Penalty Area

6Chapter 26: New life in Madrid

Hu Lai finished a day of training, and when he returned home, Li Qingqing was still at home.

Today, the Madrid Kings women’s football team practiced twice a day, but the end of the training is still earlier than the Madrid Pirates men’s team.

“How about today? The first day of training with the team.” Li Qingqing asked with a smile.

“It feels okay, but found that the pirate and the king are really a pair of enemies in the same city…”

Hulay asked her about the Madrid King’s requirement that all players must open a sponsorship brand this time to go to training.

“Our women’s team does not have such a requirement, because the women’s team does not have a sponsor to send the car.”

Although women’s football is already very developed and popular in Europe, it is still far behind men’s football. Whether it is the attendance rate of each game, the media exposure, and the degree of commercial development, they are completely incomparable with men’s football.

Otherwise, how is it possible that Li Qingqing can be among the world’s top three women football players with a transfer fee of only half a million euros.

The money is hardly worth mentioning when it goes to male football players.

Giving cars to men’s team players is a normal marketing activity for auto companies, and it’s a good advertising campaign. But giving cars to the women’s team players… is a pure loss.

“But the men’s team does have such a requirement. Mercedes-Benz is a sponsor of the Madrid Kings and will send cars to the men’s team before each season. It may be for the benefit of the sponsor, or it may be for the club’s image. In short, the men’s team is there. It is indeed a requirement that every player must drive a sponsored car for training and competition. Regardless of what car they usually drive, training and competition must be unified. If someone drives a car of another brand, they will be fined by the team.”

Hu Lai grinned.

Good guy, he knows that there are sponsors of clothing brands, and they will require their spokespersons to wear only their own brand clothing in public. Unexpectedly, the King of Madrid took control more broadly, even caring for any car.

He said to Li Qingqing: “I’ll leave that car for you. I’ll wait for our club sponsor to send me the car. Anyway, our garage can only park two cars, which happens to be.”

“Okay.” Li Qingqing did not refuse, but agreed very simply.

Then Hu Lai continued to talk about his experience in the Pirates.

When it comes to Tonini and Martinez chasing and fighting in the locker room, the others are all booing and don’t stop, even if the captain is introducing themselves, they can take care of both, Li Qingqing said with emotion: “It’s not true. The same. I don’t know how the men’s team is. At least when I first went to the women’s team, I was introduced to the team as a newcomer. Everyone was very serious about welcoming me in the locker room. Not as casual as you said… …”

Then she asked: “Hu Lai, do you think they disrespect you?”

Hu Lai shook his head: “That’s not true. It was a formality. This kind of superficial respect is meaningless.”

“You can think so.” Li Qingqing smiled. “It really doesn’t make much sense. On the surface, everyone seems to be friendly to you, but who knows what they think? In the end, they still have to rely on football strength to speak.”

Following this topic, Hu Lai talked about Maxi Carey’s attitude towards him.

“It’s normal for him to have opinions on you.” Li Qingqing smiled, “You are considered by him as the biggest threat. He thought you were here to grab his position. Didn’t he have been injured before, and he has been performing after being injured. No, this time there is another player in the same position as him. He will definitely be nervous. Of course, if you are an anonymous player, that’s nothing, he won’t take it to heart. But you are not an anonymous player anymore, Hu Lai. .”

Hu Lai scratched his head: “But Parotti told me that I can form the strongest striker combination in La Liga with Carey…”

“What the coach says is a matter for the coach. The coach can’t control what the player thinks.” Li Qingqing asked Hu Lai with a smile, “Well, do you think the big team is troublesome compared to the small team?”

“Trouble, it is indeed a bit troublesome, but I am not afraid.” Hu Lai said nonchalantly.

“Just to have this momentum!” Li Qingqing clenched his fists to cheer Hu Lai, “Come on, Hu Lai!”

Hu Lei held up his chest, like a proud cock.

Seeing him like this, Li Qingqing couldn’t help laughing.

“What are you laughing at?” Hu Lai asked.

“I feel like I’m coaxing a child…ha!” Li Qingqing laughed out loud before he finished speaking.

Hu Lai gave her a white look: “Why is it young?”

“Why not small?”

“I tell you, I am not young at all!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Lai’s face became weird: “Hey, this conversation is so strange…”

Li Qingqing was taken aback for a moment, then blushed and said, “You are good or bad, Hu Lai!”

Hu Lai pretended to be confused: “Ah, where is it broken? Is there any?”

Li Qingqing rolled his eyes and didn’t want to bother him, then turned around and left.

But Hu Lai grabbed his hand.

“Don’t go!”

“Why? I’m going to cook dinner…”

“What’s the hurry? Isn’t it too early?” Hu Lai couldn’t bear to let go of the warm and soft beauty, he even wanted to take Li Qingqing directly into his arms.

“The teacher is coming to teach me Spanish tonight. We have to eat a little earlier.” Li Qingqing explained.

“All right……”

Hu Lai let go of her hand reluctantly.

Seeing his aggrieved appearance, Li Qingqing smiled slightly, then leaned in and kissed gently:

“Goodbye.”

It’s really like coaxing a child…

Hu Lai touched the cheek that had just been kissed by Li Qingqing, and thought to himself that he must let Li Qingqing know that he is not a child!

“Dad, mom, we are full!”

Two children, a man and a woman, stood up from their chairs almost at the same time and announced.

Sophia Carey smiled at them: “Go and play!”

“Good!” The two children cheered and ran off the dining table and ran to the courtyard outside the door.

A big golden retriever who had been lying under the dining table heard the movement and quickly got up and chased it out.

Sophia Carey withdrew his affectionate gaze from the two of them and the dog, and turned to look at her husband, Maxi Carey, who was sitting above the dining table.

Then he asked softly: “How was your first meeting with that Hu’s?”

When the child is not present, she has the opportunity to talk to her husband about the internal affairs of the team.

“I didn’t shake hands with him.” Carey pouted.

The wife was a little surprised: “Huh?”

Then she sighed and shook her head helplessly.

She knew that her husband was such a person.

Sophia and Maxi are childhood sweethearts. They have known each other for more than 20 years. Before he went to play at the Hercules in The Hague, they got along day and night. Now they have been married for seven years, and they knew their husband’s temperament a long time ago.

If he doesn’t like anyone, he will not pretend.

For this reason, the husband can’t suffer a lot. For example, the media will always be keen to discuss the right and wrong of her husband, and cast Carey into a bad boy who refuses a thousand miles.

But the husband never changed, or said he didn’t even think about it.

So Sophie is used to it.

“Well, how did he react? Is he angry?”

“I want him to be angry…” Carey said, “but he didn’t. He always smiled.”

Sophia’s eyes widened: “Is he… not angry?”

Most people want to come and be treated with such an attitude by Kaili. If people who are not familiar with Kaili, how many can they hold back?

Hu Lai came here for the first time. He was so young and still had a transfer fee of 120 million yuan. It was when he was young and energetic, it should be impossible to swallow this breath when he wanted to come.

As a result, Hu Lai was able to keep smiling in front of her husband…

This person… so weird.

After thinking about it, Sophia asked again: “You have been training with him for a day, do you think he can threaten your position?”

Carey seemed very confident: “I have a technical advantage, how could he threaten me? I’m just unhappy with the club’s attitude towards me, even with him.”

In other words, no matter whether this new aid can coexist with his husband, he will never get his husband’s good face…

Sophia sighed in her heart.

In fact, although the former husband had a very straight temper, he was not so extreme.

I feel that since his poor performance last season, my husband’s temper has become more and more weird.

If this continues, Sophia is really worried that her husband will slowly become unpopular with the team’s coach and the club’s top management. Even the teammates in the team can’t get together.

Then one day, they fell out with the club completely, and everyone broke up.

No one wants to get there.

Their relationship with the club has always been very good, and they are also loved by pirate fans here. Madrid is like their second hometown.

If not for her husband’s insistence on returning to the hometown team to retire, she actually wants to stay in Madrid.

The children speak Spanish more fluently than Dutch…

Not long after dinner, the Spanish teacher Song Jiajia invited for Li Qingqing came. When Hu Lai went to open the door, the other party was stunned.

Hu Lai quickly introduced herself: “Hello, I am Hu Lai, Qingqing’s boyfriend.”

The middle-aged woman laughed and stretched out a hand to him: “Hello Mr. Hu, I am Claudia Lopez, Miss Li’s Spanish teacher.”

“Hello, Ms. Lopez, please come in.”

“Mr. Hu, you are really fluent in Spanish.” The two exchanged a few words as they walked inside. Claudia Lopez was so impressed by Hu Lai’s Spanish that she couldn’t help but praise.

“Thank you for the compliment, it’s actually okay…”

“Since you are so fluent in Spanish, why not teach Miss Li yourself?” Lopez asked.

Hu Lai stretched out her hands embarrassedly: “I can speak it myself, but I can’t teach it. I can only translate Qingqing when she doesn’t recognize a word.”

Lopez showed a stunned look: “Indeed, not every Spaniard can become a language teacher. But I want to make a little suggestion, Mr. Hu.”

“Please speak, Ms. Lopez.”

“In the future, if Miss Li has any words that she doesn’t recognize, please ask her to look up the dictionary by herself instead of asking you directly. The process of looking up the dictionary is also a kind of learning. You tell her the meaning of the word directly instead of asking her to look it up by herself. The answer to the answer is completely two effects. The latter will deepen her impression, while the former… the knowledge she has acquired without using her brain cannot be remembered.”

Seeing Claudia Lopez with a serious face, Hulay also nodded solemnly: “Okay, Ms. Lopez, I will pay attention.”

Lopez smiled again when he agreed, and then greeted Li Qingqing who came by in Spanish: “Good evening, Li!”

Li Qingqing also replied in Spanish: “Good evening, Ms. Lopez.”

“I just chatted with your boyfriend. He is a great guy.” Lopez pointed to Hu Lai and said to Li Qingqing as slowly as possible so that she could understand as much as possible.

Hu Lai understood it first. He knew that the lecture had already begun at this moment.

So he bid farewell to the two and went to the backyard by himself.

When Li Qingqing is learning Spanish, he will also continue to train his left foot.

※※※

There are only a few ordinary lights in the yard that are not bright. After all, it is not the villa in Jincheng ~ www.wuxiax.com~ There is also a specially remodeled football field in the backyard, and naturally there are professional tracers.

But Hu Lai does not need to be so fanatical.

After hitting the ball with his left foot, he took out the cone barrels from the training equipment Song Jiajia brought him, and placed them five meters apart to form a straight line on the lawn.

Then he used his left foot to bring the ball around the pile.

Take it from one end to the other, and then back again.

The ball can only be touched with his left foot during the whole process.

After going back several times, he stood still and took advantage of the opportunity to rest, turning his head and looking into the brightly lit room.

Seeing Li Qingqing under the guidance of Ms. Lopez, studying hard.

From the movements of Ms. Lopez smiling and nodding her head, you can guess that Li Qingqing should have learned well.

He is practicing and Li Qingqing is learning languages.

In Madrid, their new life began like this.
