Chapter Ninety-Eight: Old Grudges

Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei packed their luggage, pulled up the suitcase and walked to the door, where they joined Wang Zijian, Sun Gang, and Song Kun.

"Ah, it's time to say goodbye to Red Maple Ridge...... Suddenly a little reluctant. Hulay looked back at the room.

"Damn, of course you can't bear it, you're in the limelight here!" Wang Zijian scolded with a smile.

"Blame me? The strength is like this, I also want to keep a low profile, but God doesn't allow it......" Hu Lai shook his head and made a bitter look.

"Stay away from him, be careful that God will be implicated when he splits him." Wang Guangwei pulled up his luggage, didn't bother to pay attention to this slut, and took the lead to leave.

Others followed.

Seeing this, Hu Lai had no choice but to trot after him: "You are jealous!" ”

Several people ran out of the dormitory building, and the large army was already waiting for them outside the building, and the bus drove to the front of the dormitory building.

Assistant coach Li Zhifei was holding the roster and taking names, and everyone who was shouted would shout "to", and then Li Zhifei looked up again to confirm, and finally put a tick behind the person's name with a pen.

"Hulai!" Li Zhifei shouted.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Hulai jumped up and raised his hand so the assistant coach could see him.

Li Zhifei glanced up at him and found that he hadn't even put his luggage yet, so he said, "Why are you moving so slowly?" ”

Before Hu Lai could speak, Wang Zijian shouted loudly: "Report to the coach, Hu Lai still wants to stay here!" He still hasn't pretended to be enough! ”

"Get out!" Hulai turned his head and scolded.

The rest of his teammates burst into laughter.

"Hurry up and put your luggage on the bus!" Li Zhifei didn't care about the fight between these young people, waved his hand, and continued to call the next person's name.

Hu Lai put away his luggage and sat on the bus with Wang Guangwei, waiting for the drive.

They will travel directly from the Hongfengling training base to the Capital International Airport and then fly directly to Seoul, the capital of South Korea, to participate in the East Asian Cup to be held there.

The women's national football team started yesterday, and now everyone is starting to adapt to training on the court in South Korea.

This makes many young men of the national Olympic team particularly regretful - they also fantasize about taking the same plane to South Korea with the players of the women's national football team, maybe they have the opportunity to sit with Li Qingqing?

When all the players' names on Li Zhifei's book were ticked, the bus carried all the players and coaches of the National Olympic team, slowly started, drove out of the training base, and drove to the airport.

In the car, team leader Ran Jiachang announced to everyone the team discipline for going abroad to compete.

“…… You are not allowed to leave the hotel without permission. Never leave the team during group activities......"

He took the microphone of the bus and told the team members, and everyone watched him listen intently.

Most of the people in this team have experience of playing abroad, and they are actually very familiar with these disciplines, after all, every time they play abroad, the team leader has to talk about it once. But they didn't dare to show disobedience in front of the team leader......

And those players who have never played abroad before are naturally very attentive.

After speaking, team leader Ran Jiachang asked everyone if they still had any questions, and someone raised his hand: "Team leader Ran, I want to bring some skin care products to my mother, will we have time to go shopping?" ”

"It will be arranged, rest assured." Ran Jiachang answered his question simply.

Today's China is no longer the China it used to be, and although these rules sound very unsentimental, they are not so rigid and dogmatic. In the past, when everyone went abroad to compete, the biggest fear of the team leader was that if a player went out, he would not come back.

Now...... They won't be happy if they don't come back.

Besides, it's also very convenient to go abroad, and no one can afford to go abroad in this way, right?

When he finished answering, he asked the others if they still had any questions.

But the teammates have already talked about the problem just now.

"Hey, what do you have to bring from Korea......

"I also told my mother, but people just want it, what can I do......"

"Anyway, I don't go shopping, didn't the news say that Korean restaurants entertain Chinese tourists with expired meals? If you look down on us, why give them money! ”

"I'm not going to buy anything, sticks are not rare."

Everyone said a word, and the team member who said that he wanted to bring something to his mother was uncomfortable, and he didn't know if he was angry.

Seeing this, Guo Junfu, who had been appointed as the captain of this team, stood up and interrupted everyone's discussion: "Okay, what people want to buy is their own business, what are you talking about?" ”

That's when the conversation about Korea stopped.

Hu Lai, who has not been silent, feels strange, although it is not unusual for Chinese to hate Korean sticks, but his teammates have a particularly strong sense of disgust towards Koreans, and he still cares a little.

Even if we have never won against South Korea in football, it should not be like this.

After all, many times we lose because our skills are not as good as others, and your ability is not as good as that of your opponents, isn't it normal to lose?

He told his doubts to Wang Guangwei next to him, and was heard by Wang Zijian in the back, he lowered his voice and explained to Hu Lai: "Hu Lai, you know that our opponents in the East Asian Cup this time South Korea and Japan are all U22, right? Same with us. ”

"Well, it's all about preparing for next year's U23 Asian Cup."

"Korea Under-22 is the same age as our players, and there are a lot of people in that team who have played against us in previous age groups."

Hu Lai nodded, this is also normal, it can be seen from the situation on the Chinese U22 side. It's the same in South Korea.

"Rivals......"

Wang Zijian shook his head: "It's not just an old enemy. Four years ago, our country held a youth four-nation invitational tournament Kirin Cup, the participating teams were all U18, we were all U18 at that time, as the host to participate, and the other three teams were invited to Croatia, Egypt and South Korea. ”

"The U18 that represented South Korea is now the South Korea U22." Sun Gang, who was sitting next to Wang Zijian, also leaned over and added.

When he said this, Wang Guangwei suddenly said: "Ah, I remembered! That's the thing! ”

Hu Lai was confused: Big brother, don't interject, you let Wang Zijian finish talking about it first!

So he also suddenly realized: "Oh! That's it...... You continue. He finally said to Wang Zijian.

Wang Zijian didn't doubt why Hu Lai continued to say it since he knew it, he nodded and continued: "At that time, the last game of the Kirin Cup was a match between the Korean team and us, and we lost, and the Korean team won the championship. At the post-match award ceremony, the Korean team won the gold medal and championship trophy. That's it, our skills are not as good as others, and there is nothing to say about losing to others, although watching Koreans win cups at the door of the house, a little sour, but also used to ......"

As a result, after the Koreans won the championship, they put the trophy on the ground, and then their main striker Park Gye-hyun actually put his hands on his waist and stepped on the trophy! That thief isn't a thing! Gao Ruimin, who was sitting in front of Hulai, knelt on the chair, turned around, and said as he leaned on the back of the chair.

The other Korean players stood on both sides of the line, and Park Gye-hyun stood in the middle, stepping on the trophy and taking a family photo of the champion...... Not only that, but he later peed on the trophy and used the championship trophy as a fucking toilet! Exercise! Wang Zijian said this, although four years have passed, he is still very excited, and even swears.

"Fuck, it's because of this, it's excessive!" Hulai finally understood what was happening to make everyone so resentful of Koreans.

Sun Gang handed Hu Lai his phone and showed him the picture on the screen.

The South Korean U18 players wearing the sports jackets of the Korean team lined up on both sides, everyone with a hippie smile on their faces, and some people applauded. In the center of the picture is a South Korean player with his feet on the trophy, his hands on his hips, looking up to the sky and laughing.

"This grandson is Park Gye-hyun."

Hu Lai stared at the South Korean player who was smiling the most in the middle of the frame.

※※※

Park Kye-hyun, dressed in a South Korean jersey and carrying a Louis Vuitton backpack, stood at the entrance of the hotel and was surrounded by a group of South Korean journalists, who threw their microphones and questions at the South Korean U22 star.

"Guixian, may I ask what are your plans for the East Asian Cup to be held in your home country this time?"

Park Gye-hyun, who is tall, handsome, and a bit of a Korean male star, smiled and said, "First, help the team win the championship." Second, the individual gets the top scorer. ”

"Gui Xian is so confident!" The reporters couldn't help but praise.

In the midst of everyone's praise, Park Gye-hyun always kept smiling, as the media reporters said, looking confident.

At this time, a beautiful and plump female reporter preemptively asked: "Guan Xinyan of the Chinese team didn't come this time, what does Gui Xian think?" ”

Park Gye-hyun's eyes swept over the delicate face and chest of the female reporter, and then smiled: "I don't have any opinion, I don't think it will make any difference, and it will have no effect on us." ”

This was a bit crazy, but everyone present felt that it was normal for words to come out of Park Gye-hyun's mouth.

First of all, with the difference in strength between the Chinese team and the South Korean team, it seems that whether Xinyan or Xinyan is not related to Xinyan can not affect the final result of the game.

Secondly, Park Gye-hyun is indeed a very crazy person, as a leader in the same age group of Korean football, he also has arrogant capital.

The only time this proud son of heaven who has attracted much attention since his debut was the China Kirin Cup Youth Football Four Nations Invitational Tournament four years ago, he angered Chinese fans and media because he stepped on the Kirin Cup after winning the championship and "peed" towards the Kirin Cup.

In the end, he was forced to read an apology in front of a Chinese reporter in a hotel, bowing his head, and then bowing.

This is the only time this arrogant genius has conceded defeat, although not necessarily sincerely.

He may have underestimated the Chinese's reaction to his move, when the Kirin Cup organizing committee publicly stated that if the South Korean team did not apologize, it would take back the championship honor. In the end, under pressure from within the South Korean team, Park Gye-hyun could only go out and bow and apologize.

The beautiful reporter asked him again: "The Chinese team did not choose Guan Xinyan, does this mean that they underestimated the enemy?" ”

Park Gye-hyun smiled: "Please don't make such jokes, miss." How can they be qualified to underestimate the enemy? ”

His words amused the other reporters.

Amid the laughter, Park Gye-hyun waved his hand, said goodbye to the reporters, and walked into the hotel where the South Korean team stayed.

Behind him, reporters discussed: "Park Gye-hyun is really crazy as always......"

"You can imagine how angry it would be if his words were heard by Chinese......"

"If you're angry, you're angry, is Guixian going to apologize to them again for his words? Korea is a place where you can speak freely! "A reporter shouted." Besides, is there any word in Guixian's words that is not true? ”

※※※

"Actually, of course, South Koreans are hateful, but some people in China are even more hateful." Wang Guangwei said with emotion. "I remember that after this happened, Park Gye-hyun was pressured to publicly apologize in front of the media, and as a result, a national media reporter openly said on the Internet, 'Why should the victor apologize to the loser'...... this kind of was recognized by his fans."

"Yes, sometimes the two devils are more hateful than the devils!"

"Alas, competitive sports dishes are the original sin......" Sun Gang sighed.

Hulai shook his head: "You can't say that, if you follow the logic of this idiot journalist, as long as competitive sports win the game, as the winner, you can shame the loser at will, without being responsible." Isn't it possible to use any means for victory? Anyway, for the sake of victory, I don't shudder. When you win, of course, you don't have to care about the opinions of the losers, you win anyway, right? This kind of bullshit logic doesn't make sense at all. ”

"No, I mean, who called our Chinese men's football team weak and has a low image in the hearts of many people?" Sun Gang explained. "Anyway, they are happy to see us unlucky, even if it is obvious that the other party is at fault first, as long as the opponent is Chinese football, then they will kill people and set fires, in the eyes of these fools, they are all right."

Hearing Sun Gang say this, everyone was very depressed and closed their mouths one after another.

Chinese football is too weak and too vegetable, this is a fact, and it is also their original sin.

In fact, the weakness of Chinese football is not all the responsibility of their players, but the responsibility of groups of people engaged in the football industry, including management agencies, direct practitioners, and the entire social environment, including the media and fans...... Each participant is actually responsible, it's just a matter of size.

But as players, they naturally have to carry the biggest pot on their backs, who calls them the people who directly show the results of Chinese football in front of the public?

You say that the governing body is not well managed, how can you say it clearly?

You say the media is muddying the waters? I'm afraid that the media will criticize you first and label you as a sinner in Chinese football history.

Only the players are the best to criticize, because a game is not played well, this performance is clear and clear, as long as anyone who watches the game can see it.

What the? You didn't watch the game? The score is on the table, the result of the game is on the line, whether it is a win or a loss, don't you know it at a glance?

As long as you lose, it's always right to scold the "national football garbage" - how can you lose if it's not garbage? When did you see when did our "national ball" table tennis lose?

Therefore, scolding players is always the most common and effective way for people to vent their negative emotions on Chinese football.

Let's not talk about the management and the media, is it true that your players don't play well on the pitch? Your team of players loses, you can't fake it, right?

Management problems, media publicity problems, let's put aside, today let's talk about this game, is it you who lost?

Yes, who are you scolding if you don't scold? Who don't blame you? Chinese football is notorious not because of you, but because of whom?!

Of course, in this case, the coach and the player are scolded together and blamed together.

was even scolded more fiercely, and his back was bigger and heavier.

After all, it's not so easy to change players in terms of operability, but it's much easier to change coaches.

Everyone who eats in the Chinese football industry has to bear the price brought to them by the words "Chinese football".

They can't and can't get rid of the brand of "Chinese football", they can only prosper and lose.

It's just that most of the time, Rong doesn't, only loses.

In an international event such as the Kirin Cup, in the end, the South Korean team defeated the Chinese team 3:0 and won the championship, but the winner did not hold the trophy, but put the trophy under his feet and "peeed" towards the trophy......

This is simply a "great shame" for Chinese football.

But even so, there are still many people who choose to applaud the insults suffered by Chinese football.

There are also Chinese fans who ran to angrily question them: The South Korean team's insult to Chinese football is tantamount to insulting China!

The other party replied confidently: No, Chinese football cannot represent China, and they are not qualified to put a five-star red flag on their chests!

Chinese fans, on the other hand, will be choked speechless.

Because Chinese football has indeed disappointed people too many times in the past few decades, and it has indeed left them with too many levers to mock.

These historical accounts have to be repaid little by little by future generations.
