Chapter Eighty-Nine: I Have a Dream

Hu Lai, who returned to the dormitory, finally said goodbye to those enthusiastic new teammates, closed the door, and there were only two people in the dormitory, he and Wang Guangwei.

Wang Guangwei, who had already sat back in his chair, sighed: "I thought that it would be difficult for us to integrate into this team when we first arrived, but I didn't expect it to ...... Hulai, why are you so powerful! ”

Hu Lai glanced at the top of Wang Guangwei's head: "Why am I so powerful, didn't you already know?" ”

Wang Guangwei felt Hu Lai's gaze, and he scolded: "Die! ”

Hulai laughed.

When he finished laughing, Wang Guangwei suddenly turned pale and said, "No." ”

"What's wrong?"

"It occurred to me that this might not be a good thing." Wang Guangwei frowned.

"Isn't it good to get to know new teammates and mingle with everyone?"

"Did you find it, I came to say hello to you, almost all of the people who know you are playing in the league with us, and they have played against each other in the league, or people who know you. But the vast majority of people who play in the Super League team don't come. In addition to Song Kun and Wang Zijian, there was a ...... Who ...... that" Wang Guangwei couldn't remember the other party's name at once.

"Gao Ruimin?"

"Yes, yes, that's him. There was a Gao Ruimin. In this training camp, there are 25 people who play in the Chinese Super League, and most of them are teammates who have played in this team before, so they can represent this team. But they all seemed to choose to watch from the sidelines...... I wondered, could it be that scene in the restaurant that stimulated them? It makes them have bad associations......," Wang Guangwei analyzed.

"What bad associations can this have? I ate there, and they came to greet me, not me. Hulay spread his hands.

"You did eat there, but you don't think that just coming for a meal can attract so many teammates to come and see you, greet you, and chat with you...... It makes it seem like you're the boss of this team? Everyone comes to worship you, and they turn a blind eye to the real old qualifications...... What do you make those veteran players think? ”

Hu Lai was dumbfounded: "Isn't it? Not really, right? What kind of gangs and seniority do the training teams that are not counted as the national Olympic team still play? ”

"Gangs and seniority are indispensable everywhere. Do you think there are no shining stars? It's just that you followed me as soon as you came in, and I was barely a 'veteran'. Wang Guangwei raised his head and said with some pride.

"Yes, yes, thank you for taking care of your senior brother!" Hulai hurriedly surrendered his hand. "Little brother is willing to serve you as a dog and horse, and wash the dishes at once!"

Wang Guangwei was amused by Hu Lai: "Then I still cook and cook......

Then he said with a straight face: "Don't talk about this." I'm just worried that some people think that you have stolen their limelight, so they are not happy with you, and will deliberately make things difficult for you and exclude you in the next training. After all, our training camp is competitive, thirty five people come in, and in the end, only twenty-three people can go to South Korea to play the East Asian Cup. And if you can go to South Korea to play the East Asian Cup, you have a good chance of participating in next year's U23 Asian Cup, which is an Olympic qualifier! ”

He said it very seriously, and his tone was very serious, but Hu Lai waved his hand nonchalantly: "Lao Wang, I think you added a little too much drama." In my experience, whether it is in the former Dongchuan school team or in the shining stars, football is actually very simple - if you are outstanding, everyone will obey you, believe in you, accept you, and recognize you. Your strength is thin (dialect, meaning rotten), then no matter how much you behave, no matter how likable you are, it's just like that. I ask you, if someone sees me unhappy, will they find an opportunity to kick me in the knee and ankle in training and ruin my career? ”

Wang Guangwei hurriedly waved his hand: "What do you want!" Not really! At most, they don't pass you the ball or anything in training, and no one pays attention to you when you get off the field......"

"Whew, what's there to worry about?" Hulai shook his head, "If you don't pass the ball to me, I don't believe that the head coach is a vegetarian and just watch them fool around like this?" As for ignoring me......"

He looked at Wang Guangwei with a hippie smile: "They ignore me, so you ignore me?" ”

"Of course I took care of ......"

"That's not it!" Hulai slapped his face. "Don't worry about that."

Then he picked up his phone, and someone sent him WeChat.

It was sent by Li Qingqing: "They said you were Guan Xinyan's spare tire!" [smirk]"

Hu Lai had a question mark: "Who is Guan Xinyan?" ”

The second day was the first training session of the national Olympic team and the women's national football team at the Hongfengling training base, which attracted a lot of media coverage and attention.

For the convenience of media friends, the interview time of the national Olympic team and the women's national football team is also separated, and the women's football team conducts interviews before training, and the first fifteen minutes of training are allowed to be filmed by the media.

The coverage time of the National Olympic Games is after the end of the training, and the media is allowed to shoot 15 minutes before the end of the training.

The media first went to the women's football training ground to interview the players of the women's national team.

Li Qingqing was naturally the focus of the reporters' pursuit, she stood on the sidelines in a training uniform to be interviewed by reporters, all the reporters aimed their long guns and short guns at her, and the microphone was stretched out in front of her.

Ask her about the East Asian Cup and her outlook for the Women's World Cup next summer.

Li Qingqing's answer is decent, similar to the kind of answer that everyone can often see on TV:

“…… We're going to have a big tournament coming up...... Hopefully we can win...... What matters is the team's performance ......"

Although the specific content is not like this, the general structure is the same.

When it comes to the East Asian Cup and the World Cup, Li Qingqing said that he hopes that the team can achieve good results, the important thing is the team, they are a collective. What the? You say the fans care about my performance? Sorry, I don't care how I do personally.

This kind of answer is decent, and the most important advantage is "Ann", which will not get into any trouble because of the wrong thing, and will not make people think of distorting and interpreting her answer out of context.

But the downside is that it's not interesting.

"I can now understand why everyone says that Li Qingqing is popular and has a good relationship with everyone...... That's it, hello, I'm good, everyone's good answer, it's really hard to offend people. Zhang Chao, an intern reporter of the "Goal" network, looked at Li Qingqing, who was being interviewed by a reporter from the CCTV Sports Channel, outside the crowd, shook his head and sighed. It's just a little too boring, without personality, and it's the same for anyone to answer. ”

"Boring?" An obviously elderly reporter next to him snorted, "As long as Li Qingqing appears in the camera, any answer is interesting." Do you think those viewers and fans care about what Li Qingqing answered? No, they just want to see the beauty of the 'flower of women's football'. ”

Li Qingqing's smile in front of the camera was enough to attract people's attention, and many reporters who watched the interview with them couldn't help but smile on their faces.

You must know that in fact, Li Qingqing's answer was not happy, they just watched from the side, and they didn't listen to what Li Qingqing said, and they were all so happy.

Zhang Chao withdrew his gaze from the smiling reporters, and said to the old reporters around him: "Teacher Fang, of course I know how attractive Li Qingqing is. I just think...... It's a pity that such a beautiful player is like a marionette and doesn't have a mind of his own......"

The veteran reporter Fang Daming glanced at the intern reporter he brought: "Put away your thoughts about making a big news." Just by relying on media interviews, you can see the idea of a yarn! Do you know people don't have thoughts? It's just not uncommon for people to tell you! The so-called personality and thought, that is just a well-designed character that is deliberately displayed in front of you, a reporter! Everyone is acting, so what do you do seriously? ”

Zhang Chao, who was reprimanded by the old reporter, didn't dare to speak anymore.

※※※

When the media filmed the last fifteen minutes of training of the National Olympic team, without the reporters mentioning the interview, Ran Jiachang, the leader of the National Olympic team, had already asked Shi Wuyun to order two people to come over for an interview.

The first person to be named was Guo Junfu, the main midfielder of the National Olympic team, and the most eye-catching talent player outside of Guan Xinyan.

Playing for the Chinese Super League business team Shenwei, he started 22 times in the Chinese Super League last season as an Under-23 player.

Of course, because of the Under-23 policy, it doesn't make sense to just look at the number of league appearances of an Under-23 player, after all, the policy requires every team to have at least one Under-23 player start every game.

But apart from the starters, there are a lot of things that can be seen about the player's performance. For example, look at playing time – the Under-23 policy also stipulates that at least one Under-23 player must play more than 60 minutes to meet the target.

If the Under-23 player always plays more than 60 minutes, does that mean that he is not a beneficiary of the Under-23 policy, but has actually earned the qualification by virtue of his strength?

Guo Junfu is such a person.

He started 22 games in the Super League last season, 10 of which were full games, and 20 of the games he played in more than 60 minutes.

Such a performance is enough to prove his status in the Shangdu Shenwei team.

Like Guan Xinyan, he is also the target of the club's key training.

At the same time, he is also the core of the midfield of the national Olympic team.

He came out for an interview on behalf of the team, and everyone had no objections.

In addition to Guo Junfu, another person who was named and came out for an interview was Wang Guangwei.

If Guo Junfu is a veteran player who was originally in the National Olympic team and a representative of the Chinese Super League players, then Wang Guangwei is naturally a representative of the Chinese League A players and those players who were selected for the first time in the National Olympic training team.

Why Wang Guangwei is this representative?

Shi Wuyun may have considered that Wang Guangwei performed well in the Chinese League last season, and his level and ability are also very convincing, coupled with his calm personality, he will not make any mistakes in the face of reporters.

When these two people were interviewed, they were indeed like this, and they behaved decently.

Say something about the team first, go all out for such a scene.

But that's enough, the reporters get what they want, go back and edit it into news and broadcast it, and the task is done.

But just after Guo Junfu and Wang Guangwei finished the interview, someone raised their hands: "Team Leader Ran, Team Leader Ran, can you find another person to be interviewed?" ”

Fang Daming glared hard at Zhang Chao who raised his hand next to him - he knew that this kid was not honest!

The question just now was sent by Zhang Chao.

Ran Jiachang didn't seem to care, but looked at the young reporter and smiled: "Okay, who else do you want to interview?" ”

"Hulai!" Zhang Chao pointed to the figure on the court and said loudly.

"Why did you interview him?" Ran Jiachang asked.

"As the youngest player in this Under-22 training camp and the best young player in the Chinese League last season, I think I'm not the only one interested in him, right?" When Zhang Chao said this, he didn't forget to drag everyone else into the water.

Fang Daming felt that this kid simply didn't clean up.

But other reporters echoed Zhang Chao: "Yes, yes, yes!" We'd also love to talk to Hulai and hear what he has to say as the youngest Under-22 player! ”

Ran Jiachang saw that so many reporters were interested in Hu Lai, so he glanced at head coach Shi Wuyun.

Guo Junfu, who was about to leave, stopped his steps when he saw this scene.

These reporters even took the initiative to ask for an interview with Hulai?

Yesterday in the restaurant, I saw that the players of the Chinese League took the initiative to run to greet him and get acquainted, Guo Junfu was surprised enough.

Today is even more exaggerated, so the multimedia reporter actually took the initiative to ask for an interview with him? Even if he scored eleven goals in the Chinese League last season, it's a bit exaggerated, right?

You must know that even Guan Xinyan doesn't have this treatment......

What kind of magic is there in this kid?

He decided to stand by and listen.

※※※

Hulay was soon called in and stood in front of the cameras of the media for an interview.

Although he is a newcomer to the national team, Hu Lai did not show the slightest timidity in the face of these long guns and short guns, and he even had a smile on his face, looking very sophisticated.

After all, he is also a professional player who has scored eleven goals in half a season, and it is not unseen in media interviews or something.

Even before he entered professional football, when he was playing on the Dongchuan Middle School football team, he had already had the experience of being interviewed by reporters.

Therefore, the current scene does not frighten him.

"What was it like to be the youngest player in the squad to be selected for the Under-22 squad at the age of 19?"

What's the experience?

When Hulai heard this question, he suspected that the reporter who asked the question was from Zhihu......

He blinked: "You don't say that I forgot that I am the youngest of them, ha!" ”

Then he thought of what Wang Guangwei was worried about last night, and added: "The big brothers here take good care of me. When I first arrived, I was greeted by enthusiastic teammates who took me to report when I didn't know the way, and everyone greeted me warmly during dinner...... When I came in, I found that all of them were talents, and they spoke well, and I really liked to be in it......"

His answer drew laughter from the reporters.

Zhang Chao was especially excited, and sure enough, this Hulai was the most interesting!

It's nice and funny to talk about, it's just talent......

Hu Lai's painting style is indeed completely different from the two players interviewed before, Guo Junfu heard Hu Lai answer the reporter's question next to him, and he didn't know what to say.

It's not that the team is just Hulai who can joke about it.

But Hulai is indeed the only one who dares to be so naughty in front of media reporters...... Others always have to estimate their image to some extent, while others are worried about saying the wrong thing and getting into trouble.

Then the reporters asked some more questions, including the East Asian Cup.

Hulai is a little more serious in this regard, but he still has his own style: "I will try to participate in the East Asian Cup, I hope I can perform well personally and the team!" ”

He didn't say team first, but said he wanted to do well both individually and as a team.

Zhang Chao keenly noticed this and was different from others.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and asked Hu Lai: "Hu Lai, you were selected for the U22 training team when you were nineteen years old, and you can score eleven goals in the Chinese League at the age of eighteen, and this is only the first season of your career. Do you have any vision for your future? ”

Fang Daming, who originally thought that Zhang Chao was fooling around, couldn't help but nod when he heard him ask such a question, this is not a "foolish" question, he didn't waste this interview opportunity.

"Looking ...... the future"

But to the surprise of the reporters, in the face of this question, Hu Lai did not shake his wit as before, but thoughtfully, and then he asked Zhang Chao who raised the question: "That, can you say whatever you want?" ”

Zhang Chao shook his head: "Of course, you have to tell your truth, Hu Lai." It's a truth or dare! ”

Hearing this, Hulai smiled.

The other reporters also looked at him, expecting him to tell the truth.

Hu Lai thought of the time and space he came, Zheng Zhi received a red card for himself with a chase foul in front of the penalty area in the last game of the round of 12 of the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup in Russia, but at the same time, he also reserved a glimmer of hope for the Chinese team to go to Russia, even if it was only a theoretical hope.

That was Zheng Zhi, the Chinese captain, who made the last contribution to Chinese football's impact on the World Cup.

Although this contribution was meaningless in the end, the Chinese team fell out of the door of the World Cup finals again.

He thought of this time and space again, Qin Lin choked up and said sorry to the Chinese fans after quitting the national team.

The images of the two of them overlapped together, and those people in the history of Chinese football in two time and space overlapped together.

At that time and space, although the Chinese team entered the World Cup finals once, it seemed to have spent all the good luck of Chinese football in the second half of its life, and Chinese football was not as good as a year after that.

In this time and space, the Chinese team has never entered the World Cup finals, and everyone is still waiting for it.

The fans boiled gray hair, and the players exhausted their lives.

Four years of reincarnation, round after round, thirty years, forty years, sixty years, time just slipped away inexorably.

Looking back, a full nail has passed.

Chinese football is still on the way.

Chinese football is always on the road.

Chinese football starts all over again.

Chinese football has started all over again and again.

Chinese football no longer deserves to represent the country, and it is far from the image of this increasingly powerful country, and it has even become a joke and scandal for the country......

Thinking of this, Hu Lai faced the camera and the microphone and said: "Looking forward to the future, I have a dream, I dream that one day I can wear the jersey of the Chinese team and win the World Cup!" ”

Zhang Chao was stunned, Fang Daming beside him was stunned, and the reporters surrounding Hu Lai were stunned.

Shi Wuyun, the head coach of the National Olympic team, was stunned, and Ran Jiachang, the leader of the National Olympic team, was stunned.

Wang Guangwei was stunned, and Guo Junfu, who was standing next to him and wanted to hear what Hu Lai had to say, was also stunned.

They seemed to hear some great declaration, but it was as if they were hearing a huge joke......
