Hu Lai found that whether it was in the national competition when he was a student, or in the Poseidon Youth Team, the Shining Star First Team, or even at the national training base, the restaurant provided buffets, and the way of eating was similar.

It's just that some places look more like school cafeterias, with stainless steel plates for meals, while others use ordinary plates for dishes and bowls for rice.

The national training base may be because it often receives national teams, football associations and even officials of the AFC and FIFA. Whether it is the decoration or facilities of the restaurant, it is more like a serious hotel than a canteen.

The floor is covered with ornate but slightly old-fashioned carpets, the walls are covered with pale yellow wallpaper, the curtains are fringed, and the tables, chairs, benches, and bar counters are all mahogany.

It is more particular than the Chinese restaurants of many five-star hotels.

After he and Wang Guangwei picked up the meal with the three friends they had just met, they went to a round table where only two people were seated.

Walking up to him, Wang Zijian asked the other party: "Hello, is there anyone else at this table?" ”

The two people on the other side raised their heads, looked at the five people opposite, and shook their heads: "No." ”

"Then we'll sit here." Wang Zijian beckoned the others to sit down and eat, and he himself took the initiative to report to the other party and made contact: "Hello, my name is Wang Zijian, and the winger on the field is from Yunyang Phoenix." This is Song Kun, who is a goalkeeper and plays in Nanjiarui Lions. Sun Gang, playing fullback, in Meiling Rangers. And this is ......"

When he introduced Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei, he was interrupted by the other party: "We know that Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei of Anton Shiningxing." ”

"Huh? Do you know either of them? Wang Zijian was surprised.

"Both of our teams have played against the Twinkles, so how could we not know about them?" The two faces who arrived first looked at Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei and said.

"Hah! What a coincidence! Hu Lai hurriedly smiled, "Which team are you from?" ”

A sturdy and tall man on the left said: "Li Chengwu, the North Pole Star of the Black River, midfielder." ”

The man on the right, who was also tall but thin, said: "Liu Jinge, Lingnan Nanhai, fullback." ”

Wang Zijian noticed that the smile on Hu Lai's face was a little stiff.

"Poof!" Sun Gang next to him suddenly laughed, "Haha! It's really not a rivalry! ”

Wang Zijian and Song Kun both looked at him curiously.

Sun Gang pointed to Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei and said to his two friends: "Last season, the Nanhai team lost the qualification for the Super League at their home stadium, and the initiator was Hu Lai, who scored a very beautiful goal......

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hu Lai: "The initiator is Zhang Qinghuan!" Ninety-nine percent of the credit for that ball should be counted on Zhang Qinghuan's head! ”

Song Kun also remembered: "Ah! Is it Zhang Qinghuan's world-class assist? I watched it later, and it was indeed beautiful! ”

Sun Gang said with a smile: "Just that goal, the dream of rushing to the South China Sea was directly shattered." ”

Li Chengwu, who has been silent since introducing himself, said: "Hu Lai helped them win a controversial penalty when he played against our Black North Pole Star......

Although he didn't elaborate, everyone knows what "controversial" means, that is, the side that got the penalty insists that the opponent is fouled, and the side that was awarded the penalty insists that the side that won the penalty is a fake fall......

Wang Zijian felt very ridiculous - if he found a table at random, he could actually meet Hu Lai's enemies, or both!

He turned his head to look at Hu Lai, and wanted to say that your kid's popularity is really "good"!

The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward.

Looking at this scene, Liu Jinge laughed: "Isn't it? Do you think the two of us are here to ask for sin? ”

Li Chengwu, who has been expressionless, also said: "We are not the kind of people who are cautious. ”

Wang Zijian breathed a sigh of relief and beckoned everyone to sit down: "That's it, everyone is teammates now." ”

Just as they were sitting down to eat, they heard a slight commotion coming from the direction of the door.

There were exclamations and chatter.

The people at this table followed the prestige, and found that four people had walked in at the door.

It's women's football!

"I remember, we were training with the women's football team." Wang Zijian said.

"Women's football?" Liu Jinge suddenly came to his senses, "Isn't that it?" ”

"Yes, Li Qingqing is also there." Of course, Wang Zijian knew what the other party was thinking.

Then they saw Li Qingqing among the four......

"I'm going to ......," Liu Jinge exclaimed, "Real people are much more beautiful than photos!" Qingqing Goddess! ”

Although the others were silent, their performance was not much better than his. Li Chengwu, who was expressionless before, also widened his eyes.

Li Qingqing, who was coming from the door, noticed the people at this table, she cast a smile at them, and then saw that familiar face in the crowd, so the smile on her face became even bigger.

Seeing Li Qingqing's gaze and smile, six of the seven people at the table were on their heads, and their heads were like sunflowers, turning with Li Qingqing.

Of course, they're definitely not the only ones in the restaurant who do this, and others are just like them. When Li Qingqing went to pick up the meal, some people even turned their bodies just so that they could always see her.

The most calm of these people is only one person.

Hu Lai didn't stare at Li Qingqing, he just showed a surprised expression when Li Qingqing just walked into the restaurant, and then he lowered his head and took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Li Qingqing: "Why don't you tell me when you come to the training camp?" ”

Li Qingqing, who was under the gaze of everyone, lowered his head, picked up his mobile phone, and smiled with a smile.

I don't know how many young people have fallen in this scene.

"Ah, I'm dead!" Wang Zijian sighed lightly.

"Ah, I'm dead!" Song Kun pressed his heart.

"Ah, I'm dead too......"

In Awei's mass grave, Hu Lai received a WeChat message from Li Qingqing: "I want to surprise you!" Besides, I already knew you were coming, so why didn't you know I was coming? Well? ”

Hu Lai held the mobile phone and looked at it, and then replied: "This is going to talk about the injustice of this society - the women's football team has achieved such good results, but the attention is far less than that of the men's football team, and the news exposure of the women's national football team training camp is not as good as the national Olympic team!" What's wrong with this society? Can it still be better? When I think of this, I can't help but tremble with anger, and my whole body is cold in a cold sweat on a hot day, and my hands and feet are cold! ”

"Wow, Qingqing is smiling again! What makes her so happy? ”

Right next to Hu Lai, those guys who only had Li Qingqing in their eyes whispered.

"I don't know, I'm looking at my phone, who are you chatting with?"

"I'll go, who can make Qingqing talk so happily? It's just envious, jealous and hateful! ”

"Don't think about it, maybe you've seen something funny?"

"If the goddess Qingqing can smile at me like this, I will be happy to die now!"

Li Qingqing didn't know what the players of the National Olympic team were talking about her, she was looking down and replying on her mobile phone: "But it's not a hot day now!" ”

As soon as she finished her return, she heard Shi Yuehua, the captain of the club, ask her curiously: "Qingqing, don't you take the meal?" ”

"Oh, take it, take it." Li Qingqing put away his mobile phone and followed his teammates to get the dinner plate.

Hu Lai saw that Li Qingqing went to pick up food for dinner, so he didn't talk to her anymore, but put away his mobile phone and said to his teammates who were useless: "Don't you all eat?" ”

Wang Zijian stretched out his hand and planed: "It's beautiful and delicious!" ”

"Hehe, then I'll eat first." Hulai bowed his head to eat.

Wang Zijian came back to his senses at this time, and he turned his head to look at Hu Lai: "Hu Lai, aren't you?" Qingqing walked in front of you, can you still eat? ”

Hulai was surprised: "Why can't you eat it?" Li Qingqing is not ugly to the point of losing her appetite, right? ”

"Don't you say that about my Qingqing Goddess!" Liu Jinge, who didn't care about Hu Lai shattering their dream of surpassing just now, glared at Hu Lai angrily.

"Okay, okay, I'll take it back. Li Qingqingmei can let me eat two more bowls of rice! Hu Lai raised his hand, made an oath, and then picked up the bowl and shaved rice into his mouth, as if he really had an appetite when he saw Li Qingqing.

Wang Guangwei was also shaking his head: "Let's eat, you can't really see a full stomach." ”

"Xinyan, how did you train today? Absent-minded. ”

On the training ground of Shanhai Blue Moon, Guan Xinyan was left behind after the training.

Gao Cheng, the team's head of the Chinese coaching staff, frowned and stared at Guan Xinyan very seriously.

The young man he was staring at bowed his head and said nothing.

"What's going on in your head? Don't think you had six goals in the league last season and your tail went up. I'm telling you, if you don't work hard, you won't score a single goal this season! Gao Cheng was unceremonious and said it very directly.

Guan Xinyan hurriedly defended: "I'm not, Director Gao, I don't mean that......"

"So what do you mean? Do you have something on your mind? ”

Guan Xinyan nodded: "I want to play in the East Asian Cup." ”

Gao Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then figured out why Guan Xinyan was absent-minded in today's training.

This U22 training camp did not recruit Guan Xinyan.

In fact, U22 head coach Shi Wuyun communicated with the Blue Moon Club, saying that Guan Xinyan's performance in the team last season was good, and for him, the next Chinese Super League season is very crucial, in order to allow him to concentrate on preparing for the new season, so he will not be taken to the East Asian Cup this time. Anyway, with his position in the national Olympic team, as long as he is not injured, he will definitely be able to participate in next year's U23 Asian Cup, that is, the Olympic qualifiers.

The club felt that the Football Association was very thoughtful, and they didn't want this young man they had high hopes to play in the inconsequential East Asian Cup, get tired and miss the team's pre-season training, thus affecting the performance of the whole season.

After Guan Xinyan played in the team last season, the club was very happy and immediately listed him as a key training target.

Everyone thinks that not letting Guan Xinyan play in the East Asian Cup is to protect him and to grow up better.

But now it seems that Guan Xinyan, this kid, doesn't seem to appreciate it.

Gao Cheng smiled: "What are you doing?" Didn't I tell you about it already? It doesn't make sense for you to go to the East Asian Cup. What you should do now is to perform well in the league and try to go to the next level. Next year's U23 Asian Cup is the stage for you to play. ”

"I know, high guidance...... I'm just a little unwilling. Guan Xinyan lowered his head and said reluctantly.

"Being too competitive is sometimes not a good thing, so you have to give other young people a chance." Gao Cheng patted Guan Xinyan on the shoulder, and the previous anger had long since disappeared.

At first, he was angry because he thought Guan Xinyan was floating, but he didn't expect it to be because he didn't go to the East Asian Cup.

He said that it is not a good thing to be too competitive, but in his heart he didn't think so, the quality that any great player must have is competitiveness.

He just said that just to comfort Guan Xinyan.

"I know, high guidance. I'm sorry to worry you about me, I'll continue to train hard......" Guan Xinyan expressed his attitude to Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng also nodded with satisfaction: "Go back and change your clothes, don't catch a cold." ”

Looking at Guan Xinyan's back as he ran away, Gao Cheng showed a relieved smile on his face.

Competitive and talented, this kid's future is limitless!

The strongest striker under the age of 23 will remove the prefix "under the age of 23" in the future.

Guan Xinyan didn't know what Director Gao expected him in his heart, and after he quickly returned to the locker room, he didn't go to take a shower right away, but picked up his mobile phone.

“…… Today, the players of the U22 national team and the Chinese women's national football team came to the Hongfengling training base to report, where they will have a 15-day training camp before going to the East Asian Cup. For the girls of the Chinese women's football team, this is also their most important warm-up event before the Women's World Cup in the summer......"

The news he saw before training was still on the front page, and it was displayed in front of his eyes as soon as the phone was unlocked.

Seeing this news, the unhappiness in his heart flooded again.

At first, when the club told him that he didn't have him in this Under-22 training camp, he didn't feel anything. If not, there will be no one, what is there to participate in the chicken rib competition of the East Asian Cup? I don't have to earn performance in front of Shi Gui, can the national Olympic team in next year's Olympic Games qualifiers not recruit myself?

As a result, he saw this news before the start of training today, and the whole person was immediately not good.

If he is selected for the U22 training team this time, he can spend fifteen days with Li Qingqing in the same training base...... That's fifteen days!

He usually doesn't have such a good opportunity in the club - obviously in a club, but the training base of the men's and women's football teams is not in the same place, is this like a saying!

The first team can train with the youth team and the reserve team, so why can't they train with the women's first team?

If he was selected for the U22 training team this time, then he would be able to get along with Li Qingqing day and night, but now he has missed Li Qingqing like this......

How could he be willing?
