Chapter 106: Looking to the Future
There is more than one football field in the Olympic Park, where the entire Olympic Village is located, and teams participating in national competitions can apply to the organizing committee for time to use the space and train.
The organizing committee then negotiates with the park management, and finally gives the venue to the team that applied for it.
On the morning of the second day after the first round, the use of one of the pitches belonged to Higashikawa Middle School.
When Dongchuan Middle School was training on this field, some people with cameras came to the sidelines one after another.
They were all journalists.
"Wow! After winning a game, the treatment is different, and even our training has reporters come to watch. Hulay exclaimed.
"I think you're thinking too much, Hulai." Mao Xiao said, "They should just come to see Luo Kai." ”
In the middle of the training, when everyone was resting, Mao Xiao's words were confirmed - Luo Kai, under the leadership of head coach Li Ziqiang, came to the sidelines to be interviewed by reporters.
Despite having already been interviewed by reporters after yesterday's game, now the reporters have a new question.
"Shh Seeing this scene, Hu Lai snorted very unhappily. "It feels like we're all his foils."
He thought about what had been reported on him in the media: Luo Kai's teammates.
He felt that he needed to practice more celebrations, and he tried to use Ronaldo's celebrations twice, but failed because he didn't stand firm when he landed.
He wants to make a successful celebration on the national stage and make everyone remember him.
The only pity is that only the number is printed on the jersey of the high school game, not the player's name, otherwise after this set of celebrations, the TV audience can not only see his number, but also remember his name.
Thinking of this, he got up and got up from the turf.
"Eh, Hulai, what are you going to do?" Mao Xiao was a little nervous, thinking that Hu Lai was going to rub the camera again. At that time, there was only one media on the "Goal" network, and the shame was only in front of one media, and the impact was still limited. Now there are so many media, including official media, if you go up and embarrass people like this, it will be a big joke......
"Practice." Hu Lai said without looking back.
"Training? We've just finished it...... What are you going to practice? Mao Xiaohu asked suspiciously.
"Celebratory action."
After saying that, Hulai ran out, then jumped high, turned one hundred and eighty degrees in the air, crossed his hands from his chest, and then landed...... After landing, he failed to maintain his balance, pedaled back a few steps, and fell on his back on the turf of the training ground.
But he quickly got up from the ground, and without even slapping his buttocks, he continued to repeat this routine.
This time he didn't rush out so fast, he didn't jump so high, and he stood still when he landed.
However, it was clear that he was not satisfied with the effect, and everyone saw Hulai shake his head and continue to practice his celebratory gestures.
The teammates just watched Hu Lai retry this celebration over and over again, and it was clear that Hu Lai was not pretending to be strange in front of the reporters to attract attention, but was taking the matter very seriously.
"Why is he so obsessed with this celebration...... Is there any way to say this celebration? ”
"I don't know ......"
"Wow, Hulai is already sure that he will definitely score in the next game?"
"I think he's going to think he's going to play......"
"Doesn't that mean Luo Kai can't score?"
Someone set their eyes on Luo Kai, who was being interviewed, and he was surrounded by reporters, which really meant a bit of a professional star.
※※※
Because there are too many media reporters who want to interview Luo Kai, they need to queue up, and even if they are in line, some reporters are queued until after the end of training.
Sun Yonggang was the reporter who was scheduled to interview Luo Kai after training.
Seeing Luo Kai being surrounded by reporters for an interview, everyone rushed to stretch out the microphone to him and aim the camera at him, Sun Yonggang thought of Chen Xingyi.
There is no sense of disobedience to replace Luo Kai with Chen Xingyi, because Chen Xingyi also enjoyed such treatment at last year's national competition.
He quickly became the target of media chase after scoring twice in the first game to help Shuguang High School, which reached the national tournament for the first time, knock out defending champion Chongwen High School.
The officials of the national competition also promoted him as a key star.
Of course, this is also related to Chen Xingyi's own good appearance.
Otherwise, if you look ugly, even if you can score goals again, I'm afraid you won't get such media resources.
Now judging from his appearance alone, Luo Kai's appearance conditions are even better......
Sun Yonggang saw that Luo Kai was also very calm when he faced the official website of the national competition, and he was much more balanced in his heart.
This kid should have always been like this, and he doesn't seem to have a lot of changes in his expression. That's fine, otherwise it's hard to imagine what it's like for such a handsome guy to laugh out of shape...... Those celebrity idols, aren't they also caught by fans or passers-by of the scene of failure in expression management?
Sun Yonggang smiled and looked elsewhere, and then he saw the figure on the other side of the court doing strange movements.
This figure is very familiar to him, it is the young man who kept entering the camera when interviewing Luo Kai.
It has a slightly strange name, it seems to be called "Hulai", well, it is really like the name.
Sun Yonggang remembered what happened at the beginning and couldn't help laughing.
This Hu Lai teenager also scored a goal in the national competition.
So what is he doing now?
Do you want to practice?
This set of moves looks a little familiar...... Isn't that the kind of celebration he did after his goal against Xizi Middle School?
Thinking of this, Sun Yonggang beckoned to the photographer who was partnering with him next to him: "Xiao Li, come, let's shoot him." ”
He pointed to Hulai, who was jumping up and falling again and again on the field.
※※※
Hulai tried to slow down when he sprinted, and lowered his height when he jumped, although he could ensure that he would not fall to the ground, but he always felt that this set of movements did not have a sense of power, and he was careful not to have the kind of domineering that he wanted, which was very unsightly. So he picked up the speed again, followed Ronaldo's template in his heart, and did this set of actions again.
As a result, he fell on all fours without any suspense.
Tsk, this action looks simple, but it's still not easy to do...... It requires strong waist and abdominal strength and leg support to fight against inertia.
Just as Hulai was summing up the lessons in his heart, a face came up.
"May I ask Hulai, what are you doing here?"
He was stunned for a moment, and then recognized the other party: "Ah, it's the uncle who came to our school for an interview......"
Sun Yonggang smiled: "My surname is Sun, you can call me Brother Sun." ”
"Oh, okay, Brother Sun."
"I see you jumping up and down here over and over again, what are you doing here?" Sun Yonggang asked.
Hu Lai got up from the ground and said to Sun Yonggang, "I'm practicing celebratory moves. ”
"Practice...... Celebratory moves? "I was really guessed by Sun Yonggang.
"Well, I've never done this celebration before, so I want to practice it so that when it's time to play, maybe I'll be able to do it when I score a goal. In fact, this set of celebration actions is very handsome, Brother Sun. It's just to jump up, then turn in the air, stand firmly when you land, wave your hands back, and reveal the number behind you - Brother Sun, don't you think the last one is very explosive? ”
Sun Yonggang thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm sorry, judging from the demonstration you showed......"
Hu Lai was a little depressed: "That's because I didn't do a good job, when I do a good job, you can take a look again, it will definitely explode!" ”
Hu Lai is very confident in this, because this celebration has been imitated and sought after by countless people in that world, and the effect is naturally beyond words.
Sun Yonggang did not dwell on the topic of celebratory action, but shifted to Hu Lai's goal in the national competition: "Hu Lai, the first time you participated in the national competition, you scored a goal, do you feel very lucky? ”
Hulai glared and asked, "Why do you feel lucky?" Isn't that a reflection of my strength? ”
Sun Yonggang said in his heart that the ball was not Luo Kai attracted all the defenders, you can easily catch the ball and shoot in an empty space where there are no defenders at all? What kind of strength can this ball show?
However, he did not destroy the self-esteem of a teenager, but changed his words with a smile: "Yes, it is strength." So what is your outlook for Hu Lai? ”
"I'm going to be a pro!" Hulai clenched his fists and raised his head.
"......" Sun Yonggang almost didn't manage his expression, he originally just wanted to ask Hu Lai what his goals were for his next performance in this national competition.
Who wants to ask you about your career plan!
Wait a minute...... Career planning? You've just scored a goal in a national tournament and you're thinking about playing professionally? Yes, that's right, starting with this national tournament, scouts from professional football clubs will come to watch the games and keep an eye out for the teenagers who have shown exceptional talent......
But there are very few people who can really be selected to go to a professional team, such a "privilege" only belongs to players like Chen Xingyi, even in Dongchuan Middle School, Sun Yonggang feels that only Luo Kai has the possibility of being selected by a professional team.
What do you kid say you want to play professional football...... Aren't you afraid of the wind flashing your tongue?
※※※
When Sun Yonggang and Hu Lai were having a conversation, the photographer kept shooting in circles beside him.
This scene was seen by the other Dongchuan Middle School players, and they immediately understood why Hu Lai had to practice any celebratory moves at this time - this kid just wanted to attract the attention of media reporters!
And let him succeed again!
"Damn, insidious! Cunning! ”
"Don't complain, let you go to the court like Hulai to pretend to be a monster, can you be free of psychological burden?"
"Hmm...... I really can't do it......"
There was a lot of talk, and the break between training sessions was over.
Li Ziqiang blew the whistle again and asked everyone to return to the training ground.
The reporters who had gathered around Luo Kai walked back to the sidelines.
Sun Yonggang, who was interviewing Hulai on the other side, also left with the photographer.
After walking out of the training ground, the photographer asked very strangely: "Brother Sun, aren't we here to interview Luo Kai?" Why did you run to interview that kid? ”
"Anyway, it's idle and idle, and I think it's funny that he's practicing the celebration there alone. I've seen a lot of people who practice for themselves, but this is the first time I've seen anyone who has practiced celebratory moves. If it's interesting, let's record it. When the time comes, add him as an easter egg at the back of the video of the interview with Luo Kai, which can be regarded as adding fun...... It's not that you don't know how boring Luo Kai is when facing the interview. ”
"Then the part where he said he was going to play professional football should also be added?"
"This ......" Sun Yonggang hesitated, and it stands to reason that adding this paragraph may make the video full of dramatic conflicts and topicality. The contrast between a player who was lucky enough to score a goal in a national tournament shouting that he wanted to play professional football must have aroused heated discussions.
But in the end he shook his head: "No need. The focus of our coverage is Luo Kai, and don't let other topics dilute this focus. ”
※※※
As soon as the training of the Dongchuan Middle School football team ended, Sun Yonggang rushed to the field with a photographer, stopped Luo Kai, and interviewed him.
He thought of what Hu Lai said to him, and was inspired to ask, "Luo Kai, do you have any plans for your future after you shine in the national competition?" I'm not talking about the future at the national level, I'm talking about the future......"
Luo Kai's answer was categorical: "I want to play professional football." ”
Hu Lai, who was not far away, heard this sentence and cast a concerned glance at Luo Kai's side.
Sun Yonggang laughed when he heard this:
Yes, yes, that's what he wants! Under the new policy of this year's national competition, there is such a star player who has directly expressed his yearning for professional football, which is also very helpful for the promotion of the linkage between the national competition and professional football.
In this regard, Luo Kai is much more cooperative than Chen Xingyi.
Chen Xingyi has been avoiding professional football topics until now, so much so that some people are speculating whether he doesn't want to play professional football......
It would be a shame if that were the case......
Yes, everyone thinks that it would be a shame if a talented player like Chen Xingyi couldn't make it to professional football!
※※※
"I heard you, you copied my answer!" After returning to the dormitory, Hulai pointed at Luo Kai and said.
"What did I copy from you?" Luo Kai was confused.
"The reporter asked me about my plans for the future, and I said I wanted to play professional football!"
"I didn't hear your answer!" Luo Kai thinks Hulai is simply a psychopath...... Then he suddenly reacted, looked at Hulai and asked, "You said you want to play professional football?" ”
"yes, what's wrong?"
Luo Kai smiled.
Hu Lai said angrily: "Don't look down on people! ”
"Why do you want to play professional football?" Luo Kai asked.
"Then why did you want to play professional football?" Hulai didn't bother to answer such a question, so he simply treated the other in the same way. In fact, he doesn't care why the new Luo Kai plays professional football, so he doesn't want to tell Luo Kai the reason, and he can't tell Luo Kai the reason - he can't say that he is a waste because he doesn't play professional football, right?
Unexpectedly, Luo Kai answered his question very frankly: "Because of Li Qingqing." ”
“……”
Hu Lai was speechless, he knew that Luo Kai had a good impression of Li Qingqing, but he didn't expect Luo Kai to say it so directly!
"So you went to play professional football because of Li Qingqing, and you want to play professional football too?" Hulai was still a little incredulous.
Luo Kai nodded.
"Damn, big brother, can you be a little more serious!"
"I'm very serious about Li Qingqing." As he said this, Luo Kai was still staring at Hulai.
He saw the other party roll his eyes and muttered, "Neuropathy......"
"What about you? Why do you want to play professional football? Luo Kai asked again.
"I love football, I want to play professionally!" Hulai also replied very reasonably.
"If you like football, you have to play professional football, and everyone can play professional football." Luo Kai said with some disdain.
"You're asking me why I want to play professional football, not whether I can do it. Can I kick your! ”
Luo Kai was stunned for a moment, thinking that Hu Lai was right, what the hell were you doing?
A sarcastic smile appeared on his lips and he ended his conversation with Hulai.
Hulai didn't bother to pay attention to him, and the room was quiet again.
