In both planes, there is a word called "Koreanophobia".

This word has the same meaning in both time and space, referring to the return of the national football team to the AFC and joining the FIFA family, and when they met the South Korean team in official matches, they were always invincible.

It's just that the specific time of the two planes is a little different.

In a time and space familiar to Hulai, Koreanophobia began in the 1978 Asian Games qualifiers in Bangkok and ended in the 2010 East Asian Cup by Gao Hongbo's Chinese team, which defeated South Korea 3-0 without the strongest squad.

Although the South Korean team still lost more than won in the official competition, there was no embarrassing record of not winning a single game for 32 years - in the 2018 World Cup Qualifiers Top 12, when the relationship between China and South Korea was the most tense, the Chinese team still defeated the South Korean team 1:0 at home, this time did not disgrace the country, did not drop the chain at the critical moment.

And in the time and space where Hulai is now, it is very embarrassing.

From the first loss to South Korea in the semifinals of the 1982 Asian Games until 2023, the Chinese team has never won against the South Korean team in an official international A-level competition for 41 years.

It's a tragedy.

However, strictly speaking, "Koreanophobia" only refers to the men's football team, and the women's football team does not have "Koreanphobia", so in fact, it cannot be said that Chinese football has "Koreanphobia", but only that the Chinese men's football team has "Koreanphobia".

Switched to the women's team, the normal confrontation, the two sides won and lost each other. Historical statistics will show that the Chinese women's football team has not even exceeded five consecutive winless games against South Korea, let alone 41 years without a win against South Korea.

However, the South Korean women's football team has a record of 12 consecutive games without a win against the Chinese women's football team.

If there is any symptom, I am afraid that the South Korean women's football team has suffered from "Sinophobia".

Today's opening match of the East Asian Cup can be a good illustration of the women's football girls, who do not know what "Koreanphobia" is.

After Li Qingqing opened the scoring for the Chinese team in the first 28 minutes of the game, the morale of the Chinese team was boosted, and they scored another goal in the second half to take a 2-0 lead.

Then Yan Encai began to make substitutions and adjustments to train the team.

Li Qingqing was also substituted in the 78th minute.

When she left the field, the players of the national Olympic team stood up and cheered for her.

This time, Hulai also got up from his seat, and finally did not let his father find any reason in front of the TV.

After Li Qingqing got off the field, the TV broadcast also gave her a close-up, in which she took the towel handed by the assistant coach, wiped the sweat beads on her face, and blushed, making her heroic lines soft and charming.

In a previous interview, Li Qingqing said that she hopes to win the World Cup on behalf of the Chinese team one day, and her performance today is the best footnote to her words - a goal, an assist, such a performance is fully worthy of that great goal!"

The commentator of the CCTV sports channel praised Li Qingqing's performance.

This made Xie Lan in front of the TV very happy.

When Hu Lixin saw her like that, he said: "Don't be too happy, if you don't, you will be very disappointed!" ”

"No, that's her!" Sheeran was categorical.

Hu Lixin was really speechless: "Even if she is the coach woman, she is also someone else's daughter, what does it have to do with you?" You just think Hulai has an unusual relationship with her? ”

"Of course it's not ordinary!"

"Why?"

"Intuition!"

Hu Lixin rolled his eyes and said nothing, he couldn't make sense with this woman.

※※※

After Li Qingqing went off the field, the Chinese team's midfield control dropped significantly by a notch and was suppressed by the South Korean team.

In the end, he also conceded a goal.

But it still won the opening with a score of 2:1.

In this year's East Asian Cup women's football game, in addition to the Chinese team, only South Korea and Japan are strong enough, and now the Chinese team won the first game and defeated the South Korean team. The only opponent standing in their way is the Japanese women's football team, which is also the strongest opponent of the Chinese team.

If China can beat Japan, they will win the championship for sure – because they can't afford to lose to Chinese Taipei.

But it won't be easy to beat Japan. Japan were the defending champions of the last East Asian Cup and two years ago they set a record of winning every tournament they could in two years. Including Women's Asian Cup, Women's Asian Games, U19 Women's Asian Cup, U16 Women's Asian Cup.

In addition, the Japanese women's football team won the World Cup eight years ago.

It's fair to say that although Japan started women's soccer later than China, they have made remarkable progress, thanks to their "Centennial Plan" that initially sounded like a joke.

Today, at the level of women's football, Japan has surpassed China and become the hegemon of Asia.

※※※

Although the Chinese women's football team has won a good start, they have received far less attention than the men's team.

Even if everyone usually scolds the men's football team, once there is a men's football game, it still has to attract more attention.

Especially since this match is a match between the Chinese team and the South Korean team.

With a day to go before the competition, there was a hot topic on the Chinese Internet.

The incident of the South Korean team in the Kirin Cup has also been revived, and it tastes very sour when it is eaten with the interview that Park Gye-hyun gave before this East Asian Cup.

Those who mourn the misfortune of the national football team naturally scold the South Korean stick for being despicable and shameless, and have no sportsmanship.

And those who were angry with the national football team said, "Look, if we lose, we will be pointed at our corpse by the enemy and say that this is a slave."

What makes Chinese fans feel even more sad or angry is that even if the opponent humiliates us so much, we may still not be able to take revenge.

After all, this time, Shi Wuyun didn't even bring Guan Xinyan.

The team's top scorer doesn't bring and still wants to win?

What daydreaming?!

At the same time, a saying began to circulate on the Internet: The reason why Shi Wuyun did not bring Guan Xinyan was because of Hu Lai.

The player, who scored eleven goals in the Chinese League One last season, was the top scorer of the stars last season. Shi Wuyun was very optimistic about Hu Lai's future, and in order to give him the opportunity to exercise, he even did not hesitate to hide Guan Xinyan.

If this is normal, ordinary conspiracy theories, such rumors are not a thousand but five hundred on the Chinese Internet every day. Moreover, Hulai's performance in the Chinese League last season was real, and eleven goals were not blown out.

But this "Hu Lai" is the guy who spoke wildly, sensationalized, and asked the media to write advertorials to spray fans!

That's not the same nature......

"I said, why is this kid so crazy...... It turned out to be backed by a godfather! ”

"Oh, I don't know how much money was stuffed into the leaders of the pig association in order to enter the training team......"

"Chinese football is really finished, and it has found such a clown to represent the country...... Gee! ”

Of course, some people tried to explain to angry netizens that Hu Lai was not in vain, and that he had real skills, but in this extreme emotion, the voices of one or two people did not play a role at all, and they were either scolded as Hu Lai's sailors, or they were directly covered by firepower and drowned in saliva.

In this way, it was just a guess at first, but then it simply became the U22 national team that Hulai only entered by stuffing money.

Evidence?

There is no evidence, anyway, everyone is saying, it must be true!

Besides, how can such insider trading be so easy to leave behind? Neither side is stupid. So don't care if we want evidence, we don't have evidence, but everyone's eyes are bright! This kind of person can enter the U22, so isn't there insider trading or why?

There is also a logical genius who said that although there is no definite evidence that there was a private exchange of interests, there is also no conclusive evidence to prove that this did not happen!

Rumors are rife...... Even Guan Xinyan was a little skeptical that Coach Shi didn't tell him the truth, ostensibly saying that he would stay in the club to play in the Super League and accumulate experience, but in fact he was really trying to make way for this guy named Hulai......

Of course, Guan Xinyan was just a little suspicious, and without real evidence, he naturally wouldn't really go to question Shi Wuyun or team leader Ran Jiachang. But from now on, there will definitely be some people who care about this person who "replaced" him, and they will keep an eye on him to see how many pounds and taels this person has.

As soon as Xie Lan arrived at the office, she found that the atmosphere in the office was different today, and she always felt that there were eyes staring at her, but when she looked over, the gaze that stared at her disappeared.

This feeling made her very uncomfortable, as if everyone in the office knew what her secrets were, looked at her curiously in private, and even talked about her, but she alone didn't know why.

She walked over to her desk, put her bag down, and looked around.

Then I made sure that everyone was really looking at her, but they didn't dare to look at her, and they would look away when she was on her.

Very deliberately moved away.

In the end, Xie Lan saw Sister Wang in the office, she saw herself looking over, she didn't avoid her gaze, but said with a smile: "Xiao Xie, what is there to be sorry for my sister before, you have a lot of adults, how forgiving ......"

That's not right, the smell of the gun with the stick is too strong.

Xie Lan is also a veteran in the tearing world, how could she not feel the thorns in Sister Wang's words?

She and Sister Wang have always been unflattering, and they have quarreled a few times in front of everyone in the office, and they don't like each other.

"Sister Wang, look at what you said...... If you have anything to say, you just say it, why bother beating around the bush like this? Xie Lan slammed back with a smile on her face.

"Then I'll just say it...... Actually, it's nothing, it's just that you seem to have a good relationship with the Chinese Football Association, and even your own son can be stuffed into it, so I want to ask if I can stuff my son into it......"

The smile on Xie Lan's face froze: "What has a good relationship with the Chinese Football Association?" ”

"Oh, Xiao Xie. That's what you're wrong, your son has been entrusted to the national team, do you still have to pretend to be confused? My son loves football too......"

Your son likes a ghost football and never sees you mention it...... Xie Lan complained in her heart, but remained silent on the surface: "Sister Wang, you can take medicine indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, who said that my son is related to the national team?" ”

Because of the broadcast of the character program, basically everyone in the office knows that Xie Lan has the son of a professional player, and he is also more concerned about Hu Lai's usual news.

Sister Wang handed her mobile phone to Xie Lan: "Na, look, isn't it clear in this article?" ”

Xie Lan took it and saw that it was an article on the public account, and the title was very shocking: "Shocked! The youngest National Olympic player was selected because ......"

The text says that the reason why Hu Lai was able to become the youngest player in this year's National Olympic training team is because of the trick behind it.

However, the author of this official account did not say what the specific cat is, anyway, it is cat greasy, otherwise why would this 19-year-old player be selected for the U22 national team? It stands to reason that even if he performs well in the league, if he wants to be selected, he should go to the U19 national team, that is, the national youth team, why did he come to the U22 national Olympic team?

In the article, the author also explains to the reader how special this situation of skipping a grade and being selected for the team is, as a proof of the incredibleness of Hulai's selection for the National Olympic Games.

Xie Lan read the article twice over and over again, and didn't see any evidence that Hu Lai had any close relationship with the leaders of the Football Association, so he returned the mobile phone to Sister Wang, and said with a smile: "It's just incredible, I haven't seen any evidence, Sister Wang, you're making too much fuss." If you think that my family has something to do with the Football Association because of this, then you should watch the ball more and improve your football knowledge. You see, I didn't know much about football before, but now after my son's game is not lost, I can already see at a glance that this article is nonsense. ”

Sister Wang's face was not very good-looking: "Where is the nonsense?" ”

"Of course it's nonsense. Is it incredible to be selected for the National Olympics at the age of nineteen? That Zhang Qinghuan, my son's teammate in Shiningxing, was selected for the national team at the age of eighteen! He also has a relationship with the Football Association? ”

Zhang ...... Qinghuan? Sister Wang's expression was obviously confused.

Seeing this, Xie Lan chuckled: "Sister Wang, look, you don't even know who Zhang Qinghuan is, let's stop talking about football......

After speaking, she waved her hand, as if signaling Sister Wang to step back, no longer bothered the other party, took out the thermos cup from her bag, and turned around to go to the water dispenser in the corridor outside to get boiling water.

As soon as she walked out of the office, her face instantly turned gloomy.

She noticed that the number of views of the official account article seemed to have increased by 100,000, which showed that the article was widely spread.

I might be able to explain to the people in the office that their family didn't have a relationship to send their son to the Olympic team, but what about people elsewhere?

There are so many people in the country, can you explain them one by one?

Just by looking at this number of readings, you know that there will be many people who have the same idea as Sister Wang.

She knows that because of the World Cup winning declaration, her son has been scolded on the Internet a lot during this time, but now this conspiracy theory is not the same as a simple personal attack.

Xie Lan, a veteran in the tearing world, even wondered if his son had offended anyone, so he was.

※※※

In the restaurant of the hotel where the Chinese Olympic team stayed, Xiao Xiao carried a plate of food to the table, and as soon as he sat down, he twisted his head, then lowered his voice and said to everyone in a mysterious tone: "Eh, have you heard?" The Internet said that Hulai ......"

Before he finished speaking, Guo Junfu interrupted him: "You also believe those nonsense on the Internet, Xiao Xiao? ”

Xiao Xiao looked at the captain with a serious expression and realized that if this question was not answered well, I was afraid that he would offend people.

So he hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, that kind of rumor is only believed by stupid people!" I thought you didn't know, and I wanted to tell you, but I didn't expect you to know...... Ha! ”

Seeing him say this, Guo Junfu's expression softened a little, and advised: "Pay attention to your words, don't say some things casually, if they are taken out of context by the media, it will bring trouble to Hu Lai and our team." ”

"Yes, yes, Team Guo, I promise not to talk nonsense, keep your mouth shut!" Xiao Xiao patted his chest and reassured, and then he changed his tone again, "But in private, Team Guo." Of course, I don't believe that Hulai relied on any relationship to join the team. But this bullshit thing came down to the end of the day, wasn't he pretending to be forced to pretend at the beginning? If it weren't for his nonsense about winning the World Cup and giving people a handle, how could there be those rumors now? ”

Guo Junfu frowned when he heard this, and sighed: "Just take it as the price of growth......

"The price of his growth has to be borne by our whole team, tonight is the game against the Korean team, but he made it ......"

"Alright." Guo Junfu became serious again, "Don't say it, the more times like this, the more united we must be in the team." ”

Xiao Xiao saw that the captain was on Hu Lai's side, so he didn't say anything, lowered his head and shaved rice, but he was thinking in his mind: Yes, if the team's results are not good this time, there will be a ...... Okay, we should be less scolded.

※※※

Ran Jiachang, the leader of the National Olympic team, shook his head and sighed: "Hu Lai, this kid, it's really worrying......

Now he is in the room of the team's head coach Shi Wuyun, discussing with him how to deal with the public opinion that has been fermenting since yesterday night.

"You can't blame Hulai for this." Shi Wuyun defends his players. "A rumor can be reposted by several big Vs on Weibo, and it can become the so-called truth. All I can say is that there are too many idiots on the internet. ”

"Of course we know it's a rumor, but a lot of people online don't know. I think we should make a statement...... "Ran Jiachang proposed.

But Shi Wuyun denied: "Don't send it now, wait until the game with the Korean team." ”

Ran Jiachang immediately understood: "Prepare a statement based on the results of the competition? ”

Shi Wuyun nodded: "Losing and winning definitely can't use the same set of wording." If you lose, keep your attitude a little lower and try to keep it short. If you win......"

Ran Jiachang smiled: "This is the home of the South Korean team, if I can draw, I should win!" ”

The Chinese team has not been able to beat South Korea in the international A-level competition for 41 years, can they win tonight? What's the trouble?

After team leader Ran Jiachang shook his head and left Shi Wuyun's room, assistant coach Li Zhifei, who had been sitting in the corner without saying a word, stared at Shi Wuyun and said, "Are you thinking that this is a good test for Hu Lai?" ”

Shi Wuyun shook his head: "This is not the test I want, this is beyond the scope of what he can handle." But there's nothing we can do about it, we can only hope that he will get through it on his own. ”

"You can take him out of the starting lineup." Li Zhifei said. "Then even if we lose, it doesn't matter much to him."

"No...... I'm going to show the skeptics what he's capable of, and if I don't let him play, he won't even have a chance to prove himself in the face of overwhelming doubts. ”

"But if he doesn't behave well, he may have confirmed those rumors...... At that time, the FA's statement may be meaningless. ”

Hearing his assistant say this, Shi Wuyun fell silent for a while.

After a while, he said, "Call him, and I'll talk to him, and hear what he has to say." ”
