Chapter Eighty-Six: People are in good spirits when they are happy
Not long after the match between the Golden Arrows and the Hiroshima shooters, the news media and the Internet were already full of reports about the result.
The reason why the media are so enthusiastic is naturally because they all know what this result means.
Some people noticed this when the results came out at the beginning - according to the rules, the team that qualified from Group H would face the team that qualified from Group F in the quarter-finals.
But more people still don't pay attention, after all, it is too difficult to get the two teams to meet in the knockout stage.
On the one hand, the AFC Champions League newcomer Shining Star needs to get the right to qualify from the group, and on the other hand, Dashun Golden Arrow still has to compete for strength, not only to qualify, but also to qualify first in the group.
So that the two teams can meet in the quarterfinals.
Dashun Golden Arrows have been regulars in the AFC Champions League in recent years, but they have only qualified from the group stage twice and won the first place in the group...... Not once.
On the Shiningstar side, no one expected them to qualify from the group.
As a result, what everyone thought was impossible actually happened.
The flashing star who participated in the AFC Champions League for the first time got the right to qualify from the group, while the Dashun Golden Arrow, who stumbled in the league, made a big show in the AFC Champions League group stage and locked the identity of the group leader one round in advance.
This created a situation that no one expected.
"Creation makes people!" Xie Lan sighed with emotion while holding her mobile phone, but there was a smile on her face that couldn't be hidden.
"You're happy?" Hu Lixin glanced at his wife.
"I've thought about it before, only two meetings in the league are certain. But if you teach that bastard twice a season, I don't think it's fun. Okay now, add two more times! Sheeran held out two fingers and looked like a "V".
Hu Lixin shook his head and didn't say anything.
Wang Xianke was asked by media reporters about this incident at the post-game press conference, and of course he still said the same thing, firmly denying that he did it on purpose, only saying that it was an accident that year. He also expressed his understanding of Hulai's statement that he "saw and hit once", and said that Hulai was free to do whatever he wanted.
His pitiful attitude made Xie Lan very unhappy, but Hu Lixin actually didn't care much about what Wang Xianke said. Wang Xianke admits that he doesn't admit what he did to him at the beginning, and he can't change Hu Lixin's current appearance.
Even if Wang Xianke admits it, what can he do?
Hu Lixin knows that with Wang Xianke's ability, as long as he can lead the team to victory and win the championship, then what he did to him back then has almost no impact on him. After a long time, when everyone gets tired of this matter and loses interest, Wang Xianke will still be in the mix.
For Hu Lixin, 30 years have passed, and as time passes, the anger of those years has become less and less. If there was one last trace of anger, it would have gone with the hat-trick of his son in last season's FA Cup final.
After seeing his son's appearance, the contradiction between him and Wang Xianke was no longer a big deal.
After all, although Wang Xianke has a successful coaching career, he can be regarded as a winner in life.
But today's Hu Lixin is not bad, because he has a wife who loves him deeply and a son who is getting more and more promising.
Isn't that what many people dream of?
For him, who has no ambition, this is also his desire to live happily.
But he also fully understands the thoughts of his wife and son.
After all, they didn't have thirty years to slowly digest the impact of this incident on them, as they did.
Now they are just like their original selves, angry, unwilling and incomprehensible.
I don't understand why a person can still live a good life after doing such a thing.
There has to be this stage, and he is slowly coming out of this emotion.

Hu Lai was manipulating the villain in the game, and he had just entered the penalty area of Xia Xiaoyu's team, and was about to shoot, when he heard Chen Xingyi next to him suddenly shout: "Fuck!" β
The voice he made Hulai tremble with fright, and when he pressed the shot button, he was more powerful.
The villain in the game put an anti-aircraft gun.
", little star, you did it on purpose!" Hu Lai threw the gamepad on the sofa, turned around and pounced on Chen Xingyi.
"It's not...... Our opponent in the quarterfinals is confirmed! Chen Xingyi held up his mobile phone in front of Hu Lai when he pounced on him. We hit the golden arrows! β
Hu Lai looked at it:
ββ¦β¦ The AFC Champions League one-eighth final staged the 'Chinese Derby', and the Golden Arrow will face the shining star! β
He was also stunned.
"Isn't it, the result of the odds of two thousand and five to one has come true?"
What Zhang Qinghuan said is the odds offered by overseas bookmakers for the AFC Champions League before.
Those professional bookmakers can take out everything to bet on not only who will win the championship, but also the score of each game, and even which teams will meet each other.
Under the various possibilities of the four teams in Group F and Group H meeting, the odds given by the bookmaker for the possibility of the meeting between Dashun Golden Arrow and Twinkle Star are 2,005 to 1.
Hu Lai, who reacted, slapped his thigh hard and laughed: "Okay! β
"Hulai, I suspect you are manipulating the AFC Champions League......"
"Manipulate your sister! I can manipulate this thing? It can only be said that even God can't stand it! Hu Lai was elated, threw the gamepad on the sofa, picked up his mobile phone and ran "Goal" online to see everyone's comments on this matter.
Almost everyone can't wait for the game to start right away.
Hulai couldn't wait, and he asked his companions: "When will the AFC Champions League quarterfinals start?" β
Wang Guangwei shook his head: "It's uncertain yet, and there will be no specific date until all the qualifying teams come out." β
"There's got to be a range, right?" Hulai asked unrelentingly.
"It should be in May...... Wang Guangwei can only use last season's AFC Champions League as a reference, "Last season's quarterfinals were in May, but it was at the end of May." β
"May? That's coming soon, too! Today is April 11th. Hulay happily flipped through the calendar and counted the days. Less than twenty days to go! β
He was flipping through the calendar and suddenly held his mobile phone and was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Wang Guangwei asked.
"I remember, our league match with the Golden Arrows is also in May, right?"
"Uh...... It seems to be. β
Hulai laughed again: "Hey, this May is cool!" β
Then he stopped playing, took his phone and hummed a song and went straight to the stairs.
Xia Xiaoyu looked at the unfinished game on the projection screen and wanted to stop him, but his mouth was open, but he didn't make a sound.
Hulay had disappeared around the corner of the stairs, and the sound of footsteps and singing came along.
ββ¦β¦ Run, proud boy! In the heart of the young, there is a firm faith...... Burn, proud blood! I'm going to sing the song of victory againββ! β
His roommates, hearing Hulai's incomplete, withdrew their gazes toward the stairs and looked at each other.
After looking at each other for a while, Xia Xiaoyu hummed softly: "I want to sing the song of victory again......"

After the next day's training, Hulai was stopped by reporters outside the training ground.
There is only one thing that everyone cares about, and that is what Hulai thinks about the outcome of this matchup.
"What else can you see? I wasn't even asleep last night when I was so excited! β
Hu Lai opened his mouth, and everyone laughed, it was really the style of Hu Lai's old yin and yang people.
The grievances between him and Wang Xianke are known to everyone, and there is no need to explain more.
In short, everyone just wants to watch the match between Hu Lai and Wang Xianke.
See if Hulay is capable of delivering on the solemn promises he made.
Or look at what reason Hu Lai has to find to defend himself after losing to Wang Xianke.
Always, whether Hu Lai wins or Wang Xianke wins in this wave, the people who eat melons will not lose, and they will always be invincible.
So what does Hulay think about this?
He never cared about what kind of mentality others had to look at this game, and he didn't care how others evaluated what he did behind his back, whether it was "young people don't talk about martial arts", whether it was "forgiving people and not forgiving people......
He just stuck to his original intention.
And this original intention is that he must kill Wang Xianke.
By chance, the AFC Champions League provided him with such an opportunity, and of course he would not let it go.
In the end, he said to the journalists who had their own thoughts: "I mean what I say. Stay tuned, but look forward to it. β
With that, he turned around and said goodbye to the group of reporters and walked towards the locker room, leaving only their backs.
The incomplete singing voice came from afar:
ββ¦β¦ I'm going to sing the song of victory againβ"

PS, the song is from the "Proud Boy" of the Southern Expedition and the Northern War.
