Chapter 33 Treatment of Football Stars

“…… In a match in the 23rd round of the Chinese League that ended half an hour ago, the Shining Star football team of our province drew 1:1 with the Black Pole Star away from home. In this game, the entire Sparkling Star team overcame the disadvantages of a week of double matches and fatigue from the away game to draw the opponent and get a valuable point...... Qin Lin, who joined the stars on a free transfer in the middle of the season, used a penalty in the game to score his first goal with the stars......"

When Zhang Qinghuan came out of the bathroom naked after taking a shower, he heard such a sound coming from the TV in the bedroom.

He walked in and saw the woman he had brought back from the bar kneeling naked on the bed, holding the TV remote in her hand.

When she saw Zhang Qinghuan, she excitedly pointed to the TV screen and said, "Qinghuan, look, your team didn't lose!" ”

Zhang Qinghuan glanced at the sports news playing on the TV, walked to the bedside table, took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from the pocket of his pants, and turned around and walked out of the bedroom.

"What's wrong?" The female companion was a little surprised by Zhang Qinghuan's reaction.

"Smoke afterwards." Zhang Qinghuan turned around and smiled at his female companion.

Seeing his charming smile, the woman immediately forgot all about his strange appearance just now, and her pretty face blushed: "I hate ......"

At the same time, nearly 200 kilometers away from the high-end apartment rented by Zhang Qinghuan, Hu Lixin was also smoking in the dark kitchen.

The sound of sports news came faintly from the bedroom where the door was not closed.

His son, Hulai, once again gave a key performance in the game.

Although he didn't score this time, he created a penalty for the team, and it was on this penalty that the away star drew 1:1 with the Black Pole Star.

The game was played in the evening, and after dinner he went out for a walk and didn't come back until the end of the game, but he still didn't escape the sports news.

He knew why his wife was doing this, just to change his mind about his son's football.

That's right, it seems that Hulai's career seems to be smooth now, there are no injuries, and there is no time when he is in bad shape, he is loved as soon as he debuts, and his teammates seem to take good care of him, and naturally there is no situation where someone will deliberately kick him in training.

But where does it go?

His career has only just started for less than two months, and a good start does not mean that it will be good in the future, and he has not encountered any problems now but because the time is still too short.

Hu Lixin doesn't believe that Chinese football can be so clean, otherwise the Chinese team would have rushed out of Asia to the world, why didn't it qualify for the World Cup finals until this year?

He felt that his wife was overly optimistic about his son's future.

Professional football, where is it so easy!

He took a deep breath and burned out the rest of his cigarette.

After listening to the sports news broadcast about the flashing star game was over, he doused the cigarette butts under the kitchen faucet, threw the soaked cigarette butts into the kitchen trash can, and walked back to the bedroom.

The day after the game, the team was divided into two groups, one group of players who participated in yesterday's game, and they only needed to do a simple physical recovery session, which was shorter than normal training, so they could finish training early, pack up and go home for a 24-hour break – the next training session would start on Tuesday afternoon.

This is also Zhao Kangming's consideration of the team's two games a week, and the players need enough rest, so it is rare to arrange Tuesday's training time in the afternoon.

Of course, this is a treatment that only players who get the chance to play.

Those who were selected for the 18-man squad but did not make the final appearance, or who did not even make the 18-man squad at all, still have to train according to the normal training schedule.

For example, this morning, they belong to the second group, and the training content they have to participate in is different from that of the main players.

Although the two groups of people have different training end times, the training start time is still the same.

When Zhang Qinghuan yawned and walked into the locker room, he first glanced in the direction where Wang Guangwei was, but he didn't see Hu Lai!

This took him by surprise.

Although he didn't have much contact, he already knew that Wang Guangwei and Hu Lai lived together, and the two always came to train together, and left together after training, and they were always inseparable.

But today, the position next to Wang Guangwei is empty.

Hulay was not there.

He snorted coldly in his heart.

Arrived later than me!

At this moment, he heard someone in the locker room suddenly ask Wang Guangwei: "Guangwei, what time did Hu Lai get up today?" ”

Wang Guangwei replied, "Six o'clock." ”

"So early? So how many hours did he sleep? "Everyone was surprised.

"No way, the film crew said they were going to film him for morning exercises, so he went out at half past six." Wang Guangwei said, "If I hadn't called him, he wouldn't have been able to get up." Then the devil cried wolf and went out. ”

When everyone thought of that picture, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.

In the midst of the laughter, someone said, "But it's also a good thing, if it were me, let me get up at six o'clock and do it too." ”

"yes, yes, I'm the same!"

"Don't think about it, it's what Hulay deserves, four goals and one assist in five games, and this kind of performance certainly deserves this kind of treatment......

"It's this morning exercise...... It's a bit fake, how can we professional players come to the training ground to train so early? ”

"You need effects for shooting, and it's okay to exaggerate a little."

Zhang Qinghuan supported his ears on the side, and he was confused.

I didn't understand what everyone was talking about for a while.

But he still confirmed one thing, that is, Hulai did not come later than himself, but the first person in the team to come to the training base.

What did he do so early?

Crew?

What film crew?

News interviews?

When Zhang Qinghuan changed his clothes and walked to the training ground with the rest of his teammates, he finally understood what had happened to Hu Lai.

He saw that before the training began, Hulai was already on the training ground in his training uniform, and there was a three-person film crew around him.

A cameraman with a machine, a sound recorder, and a reporter.

Hulai was saying something to the camera camera, his face very relaxed and smiling.

Standing next to the photographer, Chen Jianyu, the reporter who accompanied the team diagonally opposite Hu Lai, clasped his hands to his chest, made a listening gesture, nodded from time to time, and had a relaxed smile on his face.

As the players who participated in the training arrived and began to warm up, the film crew did not leave the field, but stood on the sidelines, setting up the machine to continue filming.

Obviously, this is not a simple news interview.

Rather, it should be a feature video shoot.

Zhang Qinghuan guessed in his heart.

If that's the case, then the meaning is different.

It means that the club is willing to tilt more promotional resources to the player, and on the other hand, it also means that the player interviewed is no longer just an ordinary player, but has the qualification to become a "star".

Thinking that he was in the capital Tenglong, after he also emerged, he immediately attracted the attention of Capital Satellite TV, and under the arrangement of the club, he made a half-hour special video for himself.

He wasn't quite famous yet.

But when the video was broadcast on TV, he quickly became famous in the capital's fan circle, and he would be instantly recognized on the street, and he also encountered an enthusiastic brother who did not charge him for the car when he took a taxi.

It is precisely because of this experience that Zhang Qinghuan knows too well the power of traditional media exposure such as TV stations.

Although it is now the Internet era, the status of traditional media such as TV stations in the minds of the vast majority of Chinese people is still very lofty.

For example, if a game can be broadcast live on a TV station and on a website, it feels completely different.

And now that despicable and shameless stinky boy can even enjoy this honor?

The filming of the video interview with Hulay took a long time. The main squad has finished their recovery training, and Hulai is still cooperating on the training ground.

Then he took the film crew to the empty locker room - the main squad had already left, and the others were still training, so there was no one in the locker room - to the cafeteria of the club's training base, to the dormitory building, to the gym.

When he finished filming and returned to the locker room, the training sessions of the team that didn't play were over.

Hu Lai happened to meet Zhang Qinghuan who came out of the locker room.

The other party changed into casual clothes, and his hair was obviously carefully groomed, and before the person could get closer, Hu Lai first smelled the perfume wafting from the other party.

Zhang Qinghuan didn't expect that he would be able to meet Hu Lai as soon as he came out, he was stunned for a moment, and then hummed: "I'm quite happy." ”

Hu Lai's face was indeed full of smiles, after all, everyone would be happy with this kind of treatment, but when he heard Zhang Qinghuan say this, he smiled even brighter: "Otherwise?" ”

Seeing Hu Lai's appearance, Zhang Qinghuan hehe: "Don't be too happy. After a few times of praise from others, I don't know what my last name is......"

Hu Lai didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and directly interrupted: "I'm not you, scumbag." ”

After speaking, he pouted and shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, returning the actions that Zhang Qinghuan had done to him on the training ground to the other party.

Then he walked away and into the locker room.

"Are you ......" Zhang Qinghuan turned around and stared at Hu Lai's background, clenching his fists - this kid still has the face to scold himself as a scumbag? Who betrayed his teammates in the first place?! Am I scum? No matter how scummy I am, you scumbag!

But in the end, he didn't chase in to talk to Hulai, just looked at the door of the locker room, sneered, and then turned to leave.
