Fox in the Penalty Area

When Hu Lixin came back from his morning exercise, he opened the door and heard noises coming from the kitchen, which surprised him a bit. After changing his shoes, he came to the kitchen and saw his wife was busy making breakfast.

He asked, "You got up so early?"

If he remembered correctly, after watching the game in the early morning, his wife was still lying on the bed and swiping her phone for an indefinite amount of time. Anyway, she was asleep and she was still asleep.

"Get up and make you breakfast." Xie Lan turned his head and smiled.

"Why don't you get some more sleep?"

"When you wake up, you can't sleep."

"What time did you go to bed last night?"

"About... half past three?" Xie Lan thought for a while.

Hu Lixin frowned and said, "You only slept for more than four hours?"

"Oh, I don't sleep much when I'm older." Xie Lan put the fried steamed bun slices on a plate, took them out of the kitchen and put them on the dining table. "Hurry up and wash your hands, and get ready to eat."

As she spoke, she turned and went to the living room to turn on the TV.

After the TV was turned on, the morning sports news of the CCTV sports channel was displayed.

"...In a game of the twenty-sixth round of the Premier League that ended early this morning, Chinese player Hu Lai scored twice again in the game. This is his second consecutive game. He scored twice in three consecutive games. He scored a total of five goals in the Premier League game, and has already become the second place in the team's scorer list! He also won the man of the game again with these two goals..."

The announcer's voice was a little excited, and the tone was a few degrees higher.

No one would think it was wrong for her to be excited, because what she said was indeed worthy of such excitement.

In fact, the Chinese fans were more excited than her.

When the game ended, it was late night in China, but it was very lively on the Internet.

Countless people were so excited that they couldn't sleep, venting their inner excitement on the Internet.

Xie Lan is one of so many "network night gods".

She was initially unable to sleep because she was so happy and excited to score for her son.

But later on, she was simply amused by the messages from those talented fans on the Internet, so she couldn't bear to sleep.

She browsed post by post, Weibo by Weibo, to see how those netizens praised her son.

The vanity of motherhood is greatly gratified.

Turning on the TV, she went back to the kitchen and took the porridge out of the rice cooker. Then fish out the bathing kimchi that was just thrown in yesterday from the kimchi jar, cut it into cubes on the cutting board, pour it into a bowl, sprinkle with monosodium glutamate, drizzle a few spoonfuls of chili oil on it, and mix it with chopsticks.

The husband had come back from washing his hands and helped her carry the porridge bowl to the dining room. She then took out the kimchi and chopsticks.

The two sat opposite each other, listening to the news on the TV while having breakfast.

After the news about Hu Lai's goal in the game was broadcast, the next news was about Hu Lai.

The female announcer with exquisite makeup has a sweet smile and a soft voice: "...Hu Lai scored five goals in three games. His outstanding form not only inspired Chinese fans, but also shocked the English football world. The match ended yesterday After that, the major media in England rushed to report on Hu Lai's outstanding performance in the game... Matthew Cox, a famous commentator of Sky TV, was impressed by Hu Lai's outstanding performance. whirlwind'.

"The host of the famous football program "When the Season is in Progress" and former England football star Bobby Klein said on social media that he wanted to get to know Chinese players again, and Hu Lai's sense of smell in front of the goal shocked him. He also said Never before has a player scored five goals in his first three appearances for the team, such efficiency is unbelievable..."

Hu Lixin knocked on the table, and Xie Lan, who had turned to look at the TV, turned back and asked him, "What's wrong?"

"Why don't we switch positions? Is it uncomfortable for you to twist your body like this?" Hu Lixin said.

Xie Lan shook her head: "No need!"

Then she picked up the rice bowl, took two slices of fried buns, ran to the living room and sat on the sofa, watching while eating.

Hu Lixin rolled his eyes at this.

"Klein is a good guy. He praises everyone he sees and never offends anyone, so his praise is watery. But he is really right about one thing, Hu Lai. It is true that no one is on the team. To score five goals in your first three games, you were the first to do it."

Yong Jun said to Hu Lai who was having breakfast.

Last night's game is over, but after a night of fermentation, Hu Lai's influence in three games and five goals is growing.

On the Internet, the fact that Hu Lai has scored in three consecutive games and scored five goals in total is very high.

Many non-Leeds fans exclaimed on the Internet: "I never paid attention to Chinese football before. I must say that it was Hu who made me know Chinese players...he is really great! In his thin body There is such a huge energy hidden under the body!"

"If Chinese players are so good, why didn't I know anything before? I feel like I missed a lot!"

"I was surprised when he scored twice in the last round of the league. I really didn't expect him to score twice in two consecutive rounds! I didn't pay much attention to him before, but I will pay attention to him from now on. Him, does anyone know what his Facebook or Twitter account is called?"

"You guys just know him? I've known him in "The Godfather of Champions" for a long time. His ability value doesn't look high, but he is a very useful striker with a very high scoring efficiency! Really, guys, Come play The Godfather of Champions, where you can always spot the talent first! Then when the world starts talking about a player you already know, you can come out and say, 'Oh, you guys are here Say him? I knew him three years ago'..."

In addition to these enthusiastic fans, media reporters also paid a lot of attention and reports to Hu Lai.

"Lorenzo Esposito said in an interview after the game that it took him half a season to score five goals, and Hu only used three games to match his goals in half a season. The captain of Leeds City expressed surprise that the entire Leeds City team was shocked by Hu's talent and performance..."

"It wasn't just Lorenzo who was shocked, but also many Leeds City fans. Our reporter interviewed the Leeds City fans who left the Flanders Stadium singing after the game, and each of them shouted to us. Shouting 'HU', at first we thought they were asking us who the reporter was...lol! Chinese player Hu Lai's surname is pronounced exactly like 'WHO', I think that's why Leeds City fans will be able to play soon The reason why China is cheering for Hu..."

"I once said when Hu first joined Leeds City, he is a very good player, just give him patience and time... After all, he scored a hat-trick against Meli Banega in the Olympics. Do you think anyone can beat Meli in the game?"

...

After hearing Uncle Yong's words, Hu Lai shrugged: "Five goals in three games made them so excited? Then I scored five goals in nine minutes!"

"Ha, don't talk about it. The English media also found out about your five goals in nine minutes."

"Ah? Dare they not know before?"

"After all, it is far away in Asia, and it is a U23-level event... The attention is far from enough. The heat at that time will pass, and no one will remember it. Let me tell you Hu Lai, if you can make nine in the Premier League Five goals in a minute, you are guaranteed to become famous in one goal... Oh, no, it is five goals and become famous all over the world." Yong Jun made a joke.

Just as he was talking, his cell phone rang.

Looking down at the unfamiliar number, Yong Jun got up and went out to answer the phone.

This walk lasted for forty minutes, and the bell rang several times in the middle. When he came back, the breakfast was already cold, and Hu Lai ran to lie down on the sofa after eating breakfast.

But Yong Jun was not in the mood for breakfast anymore. He happily said to Hu Lai: "I take back what I just said, Hu Lai. Even if you don't have five goals in nine minutes, it is enough to make you angry. I just received a lot of calls from the media." , and Leeds City Club, they all want to interview you."

Hu Lai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I didn't get this kind of treatment when I made my debut..."

"That's different. At that time, many people worried that you would be short-lived. They didn't know if you could continue the performance in the first game. Now, with your performance in these three games and five goals, no matter what happens afterwards, You have already made a name for yourself and proved your ability." Yong Jun explained. "Next you will be very busy, Hu Lai. In addition to normal training, you have to take time to accept interviews from various media. Especially those local media, their publicity and promotion will greatly improve your impression in the minds of Leeds City fans. Big help."

Hu Lai nodded: "Anyway, you can arrange it, Uncle Yong, you are a professional in this stuff."

He originally thought that the reward for successful relegation could be used to improve his reputation among Leeds City fans. But now it seems that when he gets this reward, this thing may be useless... because if he can really help the team relegation with goals, his reputation in the hearts of Leeds City fans no longer needs to be relied on. What kind of props to upgrade, at least start with respect.

Yong Jun, who was authorized and trusted, was full of energy and started to record directly on the mobile phone memo: "Let me arrange the time. There are still fifteen days before the next round of the league. During these fifteen days, the media interviews will be staggered. Make sure there is always heat, so as not to swarm up the heat, and then swarm it back..."

"Hi Jenny!"

"Good morning, Paris!"

Li Qingqing walked briskly into the locker room next to the training field with her bag on her back, and greeted everyone she saw.

Then he walked to his closet, put down his bag and began to change clothes, humming softly.

Lilith next to her gave her a strange look, and asked curiously: "Qingqing, which boy confessed to you?"

Li Qingqing rolled her eyes: "What are you talking about, Lilith?"

"Then why are you so happy?"

"Because the weather is good today." Li Qingqing answered her humming.

"The weather is good? Well, it's really sunny today... But Paris is not London, isn't it normal for the sun to shine? I haven't seen you so happy when the weather was sunny before."

Li Qingqing put the training clothes on her body, then turned her head to look at Lilith who looked puzzled, and asked with a smile: "Lilith, don't you have that kind of time?"

"what?"

"It's when you wake up, open the curtains, find that the sun is shining outside, and then you suddenly feel better."

"Uh, yes, yes...but I won't be as happy as you..."

"I'm extroverted!"

"Okay..." Lilith was speechless, "I thought you were happy because Hu scored twice in yesterday's game..."

Li Qingqing's smile froze for a moment, and then asked strangely: "Are you still watching him play?"

Lilith curled her lips: "I didn't watch it, but when I woke up today, I felt that it was being talked about everywhere. Especially online. I have read a lot of news about him on the Internet..."

"Oh..." Li Qingqing nodded, continued to change clothes, and hummed again.

Lilith looked at her suspiciously from the side.

It seems to be trying to read something from her expression...

※※※

There were not many people in the stands, and the atmosphere was not very enthusiastic, but this instead highlighted the power of Li Qingqing's heavy bombardment from outside the restricted area.

A muffled bang echoed in the stadium.

The football has flown into the opponent's goal.

The Paris Eger women's football players ran to Li Qingqing, who scored the goal, and hugged her with a smile.

Lilith hugged Li Qingqing and yelled in her ear: "You must have been influenced by Hu, haven't you? You must be! He scored two goals yesterday, and you scored two goals today! Did you agree? ?!"

Facing her excited, Li Qingqing smiled without saying a word.

"...Yesterday can be said to be the 'China Day' of European football. First, Hu Lai scored twice in the Premier League in the early hours of Beijing time yesterday, scoring five goals in three consecutive league games, shining in the Premier League. At the same time, Hu Lai himself Elected as the best player in the Premier League for two rounds... Then in a Ligue 1 women's football match last night, Chinese women's football international Li Qingqing also scored two goals in the game, helping Paris Eger to expand his lead in the league standings Advantages... This pair of 'golden boys and girls' of Chinese football showed their power at the same time, allowing Chinese fans to enjoy a football feast..."

On the TV, the female announcer is smiling and reporting the news.

Outside the TV, Li Ziqiang sat on the sofa with his head buried, snoring and eating noodles, listening to the voices in the news without raising his head.
