"It's ...... Song Jiajia? ”

Li Qingqing replied under the photo of Song Jiajia that Hu Lai sent her.

Even though she didn't speak, Hulai could feel her surprise.

"Yes, Song Fatman who has successfully lost weight."

"That's amazing!"

"You have to know why he lost weight, and you won't think he's amazing."

"Why?"

"For the sake of pickling girls!"

“……”

After successfully lowering Song Jiajia's image in Li Qingqing's mind, Hu Lai relayed Song Jiajia's idea of asking him for dinner to Li Qingqing.

"Brokerage firms? I think so. Li Qingqing replied.

This matter is settled, Song Jiajia will specifically operate the registration of the brokerage company, once the company is successfully registered, Hu Lai and Li Qingqing will become the contracted players of this company.

After chatting about business, Hu Lai and Li Qingqing chatted on WeChat.

"By the way, I checked, because of the football schedule, we may not be able to attend the opening ceremony."

Although it is said to be the Madrid Olympics, football matches cannot be arranged in Madrid because they require a large number of football fields.

For example, the Chinese Olympic team, which was placed in Group B, could not stay in Madrid, and after finishing their training camp at Valero FC, they had to move to Valencia, where they will play all three group stage matches.

At the same time, because the football schedule is relatively long, in order to ensure that when the Olympic Games close, the football competition can also end at the same time, so the football competition has begun before the opening of the Olympic Games.

The players were all out of town, and there was no way to rush back just for the opening ceremony.

This is true of every Olympic Games, and the teams of athletes from all countries that viewers see in the opening ceremony on live television do not include all the athletes who participate.

"I know, it's a pity!"

Li Qingqing, who was in front of the mobile phone, frowned and pouted, and replied quite reluctantly.

The picture she fantasized about walking across the rostrum with Hulay was destined to be impossible to realize.

She also thought about taking a selfie of Hulai at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and putting it together with the photo of the two of them in the secret base that has been demolished, which must be very memorable.

Of course, it really only exists in her fantasies now.

Hulai couldn't attend the opening ceremony, and neither could she.

And because the cities where the games are held, they may not even see each other for the entire duration of the Games.

The two teams waved at the airport in Dubai, but they couldn't have actually met in Madrid.

They competed in the same Olympics, but they were far apart.

“Lai Hu！ Hat-trick! He scored his thirtieth goal of the season! It's unstoppable! ”

The screen of the tablet is flickering, indicating that a goal has been scored.

Matt Dawn looked away from the screen of his tablet and cast his gaze to the porthole of the plane next to him. With a slight probe, you can already see the criss-crossing pathways and dense red roofs on the ground.

The plane was landing towards the airport in Valencia, where he was about to reach the end of the trip.

His gaze returned to the tablet.

The game is replaying Lai Hu's goal, a very typical "Lai Hu-style goal".

Run to the open space, shoot with your feet, and the ball goes in.

It's not pretty, but it's simple and efficient.

He's been with Lai Hu in the game world for an unknown number of days and nights, and he doesn't know much about the game's striker anymore.

But he's never seen even a minute of the talented player live.

And now, this regret is about to be remedied.

After resigning from Hammond Castle, he had plenty of time to plan his holiday travel plans.

So he dragged a suitcase, brought his tablet, and "The Godfather of Champions 2024" in his computer, said goodbye to his parents, and flew from England to Spain.

He's coming to watch Hulai, or Lai Hu in the game, play the Olympics.

Just before he left, Hulai scored a goal in a pre-Olympic warm-up match, and although it didn't help his Chinese Olympic team win the game, it was quite good considering that it was the only goal of the Chinese Olympic team in the game.

He saved face for his team.

Matt Dawn commented.

He used circumvention software to see the video highlights of the game on a Chinese video site, and it was a typical "Lai Hu-style goal".

Matt hopes Hulay can maintain that form in the main draw of the Olympics.

Matt was a little excited at the thought of being able to see Hulai in two days' time.

Although he has learned a lot about Lai Hu online, there is nothing better than watching him in person.

He doesn't work for any team or individual anymore, and he doesn't have any missions. It's purely just here to chase stars.

For this reason, there was also a Chinese team jersey in his suitcase.

It is not easy to get such a jersey, after all, the Chinese team is not a strong team in world football, and there is no store that sells the jerseys of the Chinese team on shopping websites in the United Kingdom or the United States.

In the end, he was only able to search for guides on the Internet, just as he did when he first learned to use circumvention software, and learned how to buy a Chinese jersey with Hulai's number and name printed on a Chinese shopping website from scratch.

It wasn't easy, but the moment the jersey was sent to him, he couldn't help but spin around the room excitedly as he looked at the number and name on the back of the jersey.

He also took a photo and posted it on social media.

As a result, many people were puzzled and ...... Taunt.

Matt ignored the trolls and was convinced that after the Olympics, many people would understand why he had become a fan of such a Chinese player.

I promise, he'll be an eye-opener for all of you!

Zhang Chao and his photojournalist partner stood outside the turf of Santa Lucia, the home of Valencia Football Club, as they were among dozens of Chinese journalists gathered on the sidelines.

Tomorrow, the Chinese Olympic team will usher in their first match of this Olympic Games.

After more than a month of intensive training, from China to Madrid, and finally to Valencia, the place of competition, I played several warm-up matches, and the performance was mixed.

It is clear to everyone that it is not the warm-up matches that will determine the team's performance at the Olympics, but the official competition.

For Chinese football, the results of the men's football team are always more concerned and attention-grabbing.

This is the second time that Chinese football has appeared in the Olympic Games since the 2012 Capital Olympics.

In the case of never participating in the World Cup, the Olympic Games are no less important than the World Cup for Chinese football.

Since the Chinese team started training, there has been no shortage of media attention.

The scene where they and the women's football team met at Dubai Airport and waved goodbye also detonated the whole network and aroused heated discussions among everyone.

When I came to Spain, every time the Chinese team trained, dozens of Chinese reporters would gather on the sidelines.

These reporters reported everything that happened in the Olympic team and what they could see, and posted it to the media and the Internet to satisfy the hungry Chinese fans.

As a result, even Hulai's encounter with his friend of many years on the sidelines of the training ground was reported by the media...... Do you think this has much to do with the Chinese team's preparation for the Olympics?

Everyone is so enthusiastic about the national Olympic team, to be honest, it naturally makes the players of the national Olympic team feel a little distressed and feel the pressure.

But they must also understand why the Chinese media is so enthusiastic.

It's really because before that, Chinese fans have been starving for too long.

Journalists probably know that this kind of attention can cause problems and pressure on the players.

But they can't afford not to pay attention.

As for the pressure...... Professional footballers are under pressure from the very beginning, and they have to learn how to make peace with it, either overcome it or be overwhelmed by it. There is no third option for the world to take care of them.

Looking at all the players of the Chinese Olympic team who were training on the field to adapt to the venue, Zhang Chao felt a little nervous.

You know, he's just a journalist, he doesn't need to play, it's just that as a spectator, he feels nervous.

I don't know how nervous the players will be.

Tomorrow's game, the Chinese team will face the Nigerian Olympic team here, from the team's training and warm-up matches in the past few days, reporters can see that Shi Wuyun's team will use defensive counterattacks.

It's not a secret, and Shi Wuyun didn't keep it a secret from the outside world.

I think the other three teams may not care much about what tactics the Chinese team will use.

Usually have a normal heart, and win when you lose less......

Zhang Chao muttered silently in his heart.
