Chapter 150: Li Qingqing's suitors
The Asian Cup of the Chinese team is over, and the number of people paying attention to the Asian Cup in China has immediately decreased a lot.
The team had resumed training before, but considering that the Chinese team had just been eliminated from the Asian Cup, some people on the Internet still brought up the old story again and asked why they didn't recruit Hu Lai, so Zhao Kangming let Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei live in the base for a while longer.
It wasn't until the Chinese team's elimination from the tournament that the anger of the Chinese fans subsided a lot, and Zhao Kangming asked the two to move out of the training base.
When Zhang Qinghuan and his agent Uncle Yong drove to pick up the two of them, the reporters and fans gathered outside the back door of the training base were almost invisible.
"That's the end of the Asian Cup?" Hulai looked at the back door of the quiet training base, and was a little surprised.
"Not actually." Yongjun replied as he drove. "The semi-finals haven't been played yet."
"I feel like the focus is no longer on the Asian Cup." Hulai said, looking out the window.
"After all, the Chinese team is out, so what does it have to do with our Chinese fans no matter how lively the rest of the games are?" Yongjun said.
"But every time the Chinese team doesn't make it to the World Cup, the World Cup is not the same as it is very popular in China? Didn't someone say that China didn't go except for the national football team, but all of them? ”
"Hehe, Hulai, you compare the World Cup with the Asian Cup, you are a bully." Zhang Qinghuan sneered.
Wang Guangwei sighed beside him: "The feeling of freedom is so good......"
In order to take revenge on Hu Lai, he took the initiative to ask to be Hu Lai's sparring partner, but he didn't expect to be locked up in the training base with Hu Lai for almost two months, not allowed to go out, eat in the base restaurant with the players of the youth team, and the accommodation is naturally in the dormitory of the base, where there is 24-hour hot water, Internet, and TV signal.
At first, it was just the two of them and assistant coach Chen Mo, but then Zhao Kangming probably thought it would be crazy to keep it closed like this - the first team hadn't returned from vacation at that time - so he let the two of them train with the youth team.
But despite this, now when Wang Guangwei sits in the car and drives out of the training base, he still feels like he is in a different world.
"How do you hear you say the same as being released from prison?" Yongjun, who was driving, joked.
Unexpectedly, Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei said in unison: "It's just going to prison!" ”
Wang Guangwei turned his head and pointed at Hu Lai: "If it weren't for you as a sparring partner, I would have gone on vacation, Hu Lai, you should thank me and invite me to ten meals......
"Who told you to take revenge on me? Let me tell you, Lao Wang, this is called the heart of guarding against others, the heart of harming others, and harming others will eventually harm yourself! Hulai said.
Zhang Qinghuan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, turned around and slapped the two of them: "Tear it well!" Tear it up a little more! ”
Hu Lai smiled at Zhang Qinghuan slightly, and seemed to ask casually: "Eh, Brother Huan, why didn't the national team call you to play the Asian Cup this time?" Haven't you all turned back? ”
Zhang Qinghuan's face sank: "Slut! ”
Yongjun, who was driving, listened to the commotion between the two young people in the car and laughed: It's good to be young......
It wasn't until the back seat neck pillow that he didn't know who threw it hit his arm that he realized that he couldn't let this group of boys go on like this, so he shouted: "What about driving!" Be honest with me! Zhang Qinghuan sat back! Hulai, Wang Guangwei, you two fasten my seatbelts! ”
Seeing the three young people sitting honestly in their seats, all wearing seat belts, Yongjun smiled again and continued to drive the car towards the community they rented.
※※※
The Chinese team was eliminated from the competition, and for Chinese fans, the Asian Cup was over.
I believe that one day, if the Chinese team can enter the World Cup and be eliminated in the World Cup, for many Chinese people who usually don't watch football at all, the World Cup will be over, right?
Of course, now, of course, the Chinese team has not made it to the World Cup...... No, to be precise, the Chinese men's football team did not make it to the World Cup, but there was another Chinese team, the Chinese women's football team, that made it to the World Cup.
In the Women's World Cup held by the United Kingdom, the Chinese women's football team not only entered the World Cup finals, but also entered the knockout stage of the World Cup.
The Women's World Cup kicks off about ten days later than the men's Asian Cup.
However, before the Chinese men's football team was eliminated, the attention of the Women's World Cup was not high.
There is one detail that may prove that even if time and space are changed, the attention of men's and women's football is still different, and the gap is huge.
The men's Asian Cup was broadcast live on CCTV Sports Channel.
The Women's World Cup can only be placed on the Fengyun Football Channel, although that channel is also a special channel for football events under CCTV, but you need to pay to watch it.
In terms of the influence of promotion and publicity, it is obviously far inferior to the sports channels that cover the whole country for free.
Some people on the Internet expressed dissatisfaction with this phenomenon, believing that CCTV should broadcast the Women's World Cup on free sports channels to facilitate the promotion of women's football, and broadcast the Asian Cup on the paid Fengyun Football Channel, the reason is that there are many people watching the Asian Cup anyway, so the cost of paying alone is estimated to make CCTV make a lot of money, and those fans who really love football will not give up watching the Asian Cup because of just one or two hundred yuan......
As a result, the remarks drew ridicule from many fans, but also attracted the support of others who shared the proposer's position, and the two sides quarreled online.
In fact, this has nothing to do with gender issues, but the simple men's football is more enjoyable than women's football, and the commercial value is greater.
Li Qingqing, who was injured in the final round of the first half of the Chinese Super League Women's Football League, caught up with the pre-World Cup training camp of the women's national team after less than three weeks of recovery.
This was considered a miracle by the domestic media at the time.
Because Li Qingqing had just strained his muscles, everyone saw that at that time, whether it was the Blue Moon women's football team or the national team, doctors were sent to check and consult, and the conclusion was the same, the recovery period was at least one month, and if it was more, it was possible to spend a month and a half.
As a result, it didn't take long for the Blue Moon Club to announce that Li Qingqing's strain might be lighter than they expected, and it should take less than a month to recover.
After this incident came out, it also caused an uproar in media reports, thinking that the Blue Moon Club's treatment of players' injuries was simply child's play, and the statement changed day by day, and it was not accurate at all.
The national team also sent someone to check it again, and then came to the same conclusion as the Blue Moon Club.
Now everyone scolded the Football Association together, saying why is the level of Chinese football low? Because we are so amateurish from the club to the national level managers, we can't even estimate the recovery period of a common injury such as a muscle strain.
As a result, just one day before Li Qingqing's strain, she appeared on the training ground of the women's national football team in Hongfengling!
Although she didn't practice with the team, it was obvious from her physical condition in front of the reporter's camera that she was not strained.
Yan Encai, head coach of the women's national football team, also talked about Li Qingqing's physical condition in an interview, saying that after careful inspection by the national team medical team, Li Qingqing's body has met the requirements for participating in training, and they will arrange targeted training plans to ensure that Li Qingqing can catch up with the World Cup.
Soon after, everyone saw that Li Qingqing joined the team's joint training, and went to Europe with the team, and also appeared in the warm-up game.
Judging from the game, it is really impossible to see Li Qingqing's discomfort and reluctance after any strain.
Her possession on the court was still very steady, she was still as fast as the wind when she dribbled the ball to speed up, and judging from her change of direction and sudden stop, her right thigh was still strong, and she did not dare to use it after the strain.
The reality is in front of everyone, and they have to believe that Li Qingqing is really recovering from his injury, rather than "reluctantly" making a comeback for the World Cup.
On the men's side, there are a lot of cases of reluctance for the World Cup, after all, the World Cup is the supreme pursuit of honor for all players, as long as they can participate in the World Cup, let them seriously injured for a year after the World Cup, I am afraid they are happy.
That's why there are players who are obviously injured, but they would rather play closed than participate in training and games, and wait until the World Cup is over to undergo surgery. But after further devastation in the World Cup, the player's injury has been aggravated by this time. After all, closed needles can only relieve pain, not cure diseases. The fact that the player doesn't feel the pain anymore doesn't mean that the injury doesn't continue to get worse when he is exercising......
Some Li Qingqing's fans were worried that she would make a hasty comeback in order to play in the World Cup, and even suspected that she was under pressure from above, so she had no choice but to do so.
Now seeing Li Qingqing's performance on the court, many people are relieved.
If the intensity of the warm-up matches is not enough to convince everyone, then the performance in the official World Cup matches must not be faked, right?
This is the first time in the history of the Women's World Cup that 32 teams will participate.
Divided into eight group round-robins, the top two teams from each group advance to the round of 16. In terms of format, the Women's World Cup and the Men's World Cup are finally equal.
The Chinese women's national football team successfully qualified from the group stage with the help of Li Qingqing's outstanding performance. They also eliminated the host England team 2-1 in the quarterfinals.
It was not an easy match to win because the opponents were the hosts and the women's football in England was doing very well.
But the Chinese team still won, and Li Qingqing played very well, scoring twice to help the Chinese team advance to the quarterfinals.
In that game, Li Qingqing was radiant, and in the end, her outstanding performance and charming smile impressed the commentators in England.
After the game, the video of the commentary of the British TV station when Li Qingqing scored a goal went viral on the Internet.
In the video, when Li Qingqing scored a goal, the commentators of British TV even cheered: "It's so beautiful!" I mean this goal! Of course, Li Qingqing is also very beautiful! Beautiful people score beautiful goals, it's perfect! ”
The guest narrator said, "Oh my God, I'm going to be captivated by her......"
It also coincided with the fact that the Chinese men's football team had just been eliminated by the old rival South Korea in the Asian Cup, and after this game, there was a Li Qingqing craze in China's online public opinion. Those who never cared about women's football before also expressed their support and love for women's football, and they frantically searched and repeatedly forwarded news and videos related to Li Qingqing.
Hu Lai ran to report the good news to Li Qingqing: "The women's football team is going to be!" ”
Li Qingqing gave her a roll of her eyes: "What's the fire?" If it weren't for the men's football team that had just been eliminated from the Asian Cup, would our Women's World Cup have this heat? When they pay attention to us not because the men's football team has lost again, when they cheer us not to disgust your men's football team, then the women's football team is really going to be! ”
Hu Lai was speechless about this, because what Li Qingqing said was the real situation. Don't look at how lively it is now, after the men's football team is eliminated from the Asian Cup, how many people will stay and continue to support the women's football team, it is really hard to say.
Despite the help of Li Qingqing, the Chinese women's football team still failed to make it to the end of the Women's World Cup, and they were eliminated from the tournament when they encountered the powerful German women's football team when they were eight into four.
Li Qingqing fell into the opponent's tight defense in this game and had no chance to score.
In the end, her first World Cup performance was fixed in the quarterfinals.
She scored four goals and two assists in this World Cup, and was the number one contributor to China's ability to become the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
Everything was as Yang Mingwei and her father Li Ziqiang expected, and she showed her talent and ability on the international stage of the World Cup, attracting the attention of the world.
The World Cup has not yet ended, and the Chinese team has just been eliminated, and there is a lot of news on the Internet about European clubs pursuing Li Qingqing, some of which are half-truths and half-truths, and some of which are official news that have been recognized by the opposing club.
For a while, half of Europe's women's football clubs seemed to be taking action in pursuit of Li Qingqing.
All kinds of true and false rumors are flying all over the sky, today it is said that the women's football team of the London Bridge Club in the United Kingdom has taken a fancy to Li Qingqing, and tomorrow it will become Li Qingqing's women's football team that will definitely join the French giants Egre......
It seems that the giant team that pursues Li Qingqing is just like a man, and they can circle the earth's equator together.
Hu Lai used those news rumors every day to go to Li Qingqing to verify the truth or falsehood, Li Qingqing was annoyed by him, the key is that even Li Qingqing himself didn't know a lot of news.
As a result, Hu Lai, who ate melons to the end, didn't expect that one day he would also become a melon......
"Shock! Li Qingqing and Hu Lai actually ......"
