Chapter 46: Grievances

A week before the official start of the new Chinese Super League, there is a very important match.

That's the Super Cup.

The match was contested by last season's Chinese Super League champion and Chinese Football Association Cup champion to determine the king of Chinese football.

Unlike some European giants who don't pay much attention to domestic cup competitions, resulting in the pre-season Super Cup matches being like a big warm-up match.

In Chinese football, because the process of professional leagues in China is still relatively short, the FA Cup organized by the Football Association has had the same importance in China as the Chinese Super League.

After all, there is only one league champion, and in such a situation, how can an extra FA Cup champion be considered a chicken rib? European giants may regard the Champions League championship as the most brilliant jewel in the crown of the giants, but in Chinese football, many Chinese teams are not able to touch the AFC Champions League, so the domestic cup championship is naturally an important champion, and it is the only way for many teams to reach the giants.

This naturally enhances the status of the FA Cup, resulting in the FA Cup championship being full of gold.

After all, to belittle the FA Cup means to belittle the efforts and dedication of those Super League teams who are struggling for it.

In such a situation, the Super Cup between the FA Cup champion and the league champion is not as simple as a big warm-up match in Chinese football.

Even with that background aside, the game itself was a gimmick and a big focus for the media.

The first is the story between Shining Star head coach Zhao Kangming and the South China Tigers.

As we all know, Zhao Kangming used to play and work in Poseidon, and Poseidon is the sworn enemy of the South China Tigers, and the grievances of the two teams have been entangled for more than 20 years.

The grievances between the two teams have naturally continued to this day.

Zhao Kangming was a player of Poseidon when he was a player, and he also competed with the South China Tigers on the field.

Now that he is the head coach, the encounter between the Shining Star and the South China Tiger is naturally worth hype.

However, among all the grievances, the grievances between Zhao Kangming and the South China Tiger are actually the smallest.

After all, Zhao Kangming has been engaged in Poseidon youth training since he retired, far away from the first team, and there is no intersection with the South China Tigers.

Because of their outstanding performances in the U23 Asian Cup, the rivalry between Hu Lai and Lin Zhiyuan is more interesting than Zhao Kangming.

In this year's U23 Asian Cup, the reason why the national Olympic team was able to win the championship and qualify for the Olympic Games was that Hulai was naturally the biggest contributor to the continuous attack on the front. But Lin Zhiyuan, as a goalkeeper, made great contributions to protecting the National Olympic team in front of the goal.

After the national Olympic team played this U23 Asian Cup, they only conceded two goals, in addition to the collective efforts of the defenders, Lin Zhiyuan's play is also an important factor.

His performance in the game has won over quite a few people.

The talented goalkeeper who came back from Germany has been regarded by some media and fans as the future of Chinese football.

Although Hu Lai and Lin Zhiyuan are both important contributors to the National Olympic team, they have made great contributions to the emergence of the National Olympic team.

But everyone has not forgotten what Lin Zhiyuan said to the media when he first joined the South China Tigers.

When I was in the National Olympic team, the media considered the atmosphere of the team, so it was natural to treat it as if it hadn't happened.

But now that the two are their own masters, there is no need to think about the issue of destroying the harmonious atmosphere in the team, and the media will certainly not let go of this excellent hype stunt.

So Lin Zhiyuan's evaluation of Hu Lai at the ceremony of joining the South China Tigers was turned over by the media.

Such a video began to circulate on the Internet.

The video began with an interview with Lin Zhiyuan when he joined the South China Tigers last year, and the reporter asked him: "As we all know, Hu Lai is now recognized as the most successful representative of the development of campus football to professional football, and you have also stepped into professional football from campus football, do you have the confidence to reach the height of Hu Lai?" ”

Then the picture was enlarged, giving a close-up of Lin Zhiyuan sitting high on the stage, and the indifferent smile on his face in the close-up shot was very obvious.

"That's too low, isn't it?"

The next picture turns, it is a quick clip of Hulai's nine-minute five-goal quick clip against Qatar in the U23 Asian Cup, a flash of him jumping up again and again to make a signature celebration, and it is a flashback of him lifting the East Asian Cup Championship Trophy, the Chinese League Championship Trophy, the Chinese Football Association Cup Championship Trophy, the U23 Asian Cup Championship Trophy, and the East Asian Cup Top Scorer and Best Player, the Best Scorer and Best Player in the Chinese League, the Best Scorer and Best Player in the FA Cup, the Best Scorer and the Best Player in the U23 Asian Cup.

With the BGM that suddenly became excited, it gives people a feeling of blood boiling.

The video, which is supposed to have been made by Hulai's fans, first appeared on Douyin and was quickly reposted by major media outlets all over the Internet.

There was even a hot topic on Weibo that "Lin Zhiyuan thinks Hu Lai's achievements are low".

In the WeChat group of the National Olympic team, someone forwarded this video to the group, and then specially circled Lin Zhiyuan: "First of all, I am not the one who provokes trouble, but I can't bear this matter 100%!" ”

Wang Guangwei jumped out and said: "Wang Zijian, you should be a person!" ”

"Why am I not human? I'm complaining for my teammates! After speaking, Wang Zijian also circled Lin Zhiyuan again, as if he didn't call Lin Zhiyuan out, he wouldn't give up.

Lin Zhiyuan was really circled by him: "What's this, I told Hu Lai that I would beat him in the game." The better he was before, doesn't it make me even better after beating him? ”

After he finished speaking, Hu Lai followed and typed two words in the group: "Hehe." ”

Wang Zijian sent a post, "Tear well, tear it again!" Emoji.

The teammates who had been silent before also bubbled up, lining up to post "tear well, tear more" emojis.

"Damn! A bunch of old yinbi! Wang Guangwei, who was holding a mobile phone, scolded, "I was diving and eating melons before daring to love!" ”

Hu Lai, who was next to him, was lowering his head and typing with his mobile phone, and soon a new message was sent to the group by him: "Football is kicked with feet, no matter how good the oral work is, it is useless, let's see the real chapter in the Super Cup!" ”

Lin Zhiyuan also quickly replied: "Okay! ”

Someone asked again: "Lin Zhiyuan and Hu Lai are both our teammates, so who will we support during the game?" ”

Wang Zijian said: "I support giving out red envelopes! ”

"Agreed!"

"I also support giving out red envelopes!"

Under the call of the masses, Lin Zhiyuan sent a red envelope, and the two hundred yuan were divided into twenty parts, and then it was gone.

Then everyone saw that Hulai was also among the twenty people, and he was the one with the best luck......

So under everyone's strong demand and condemnation, Hu Lai also sent a red envelope.

One dollar is divided into 100 red envelopes.

The teammates who received the red envelopes sent all kinds of "kneel and thank the boss" emojis on their front feet, and all the back heels were withdrawn.

For a while, the group was swiped by the system prompt of "××× withdrew a message".

Instead, all sorts of righteous indignation and hatred of the same enemy: "Damn! I support Lin Zhiyuan! ”

"I also support Lin Zhiyuan!"

"Lin Zhiyuan, let me tell you, if you can't win Hu Lai, you have to invite all of us to dinner next time you train for the National Olympics!"

Wang Guangwei also withdrew the emoji he had sent, turned his head to Hu Lai and said, "I really think that video was made by you now, Hu Lai." ”

Hu Lai first glanced at his WeChat coin purse, and then glanced at Wang Guangwei: "Am I such a boring person?" ”

"You are." Wang Guangwei said, "You are too good. Forget it about robbing Lin Zhiyuan's red envelope, even if you are the most lucky, you can even send a red envelope for one dollar and 100 copies......"

"Then you didn't rob it too?"

"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat!" Wang Guangwei said it with confidence.

"Shhh...... Where is the Wang Guangwei who I know who has a noble character, is born extraordinary, and has a meticulous hairstyle! ”

"Hulai, you ...... the hell"

※※※

"So far, only two media reporters have called you...... I thought no one remembered that you used to play for the South China Tigers. ”

When Qin Lin returned to the house after answering the phone outside, his wife Wang Yuan made a joke about him.

"Isn't that good? I don't want to be in the center of the maelstrom. ”

"I see that the discussion about Hu Lai and Lin Zhiyuan on the Internet is flying all over the sky, and you have become an outdated Internet celebrity, ha!" The wife laughed.

"It's their time." Qin Lin sat down on the sofa and reached out to hug his wife. "Xiaoyuan, I want to discuss something with you...... I'm retired at the end of the season, you know...... I want to stay in Jincheng after retiring, and I plan to start learning how to be a coach at Shining Star......"

After speaking, Qin Lin looked at his wife with some apprehension.

Wang Yuan smiled, then raised his head and looked around the room: "I have been in Jincheng with Qiqi for a year and a half, right?" ”

Qin Lin nodded: "Hmm." ”

"It's actually a good house, but it's rented...... It's not a problem to rent a house for a long time, don't you say? Wang Yuan withdrew her gaze and finally landed on her husband's face.

Qin Lin was stunned for a moment, and then understood what his wife meant, and he hugged his wife with surprise on his face: "Thank you, Xiaoyuan!" ”

"You're welcome, I'm your wife." Wang Yuan, who was hugged, raised her hand and patted her husband's back a few times. "It's really ......"
