"There is a problem." After putting all the pots, pans, dishes and chopsticks into the dishwasher, Li Qingqing said to Hu Lai, "Without football, how can we train?"
"Who said there's no football?"
After Hu Lai finished speaking, he ran upstairs.
Soon he came down with a football in his arms. Li Qingqing's eyes widened: "Are you willing to give up?"
That was the first football Hu Lai bought with money in his life, and it was the witness of their meeting.
Even to a certain extent, it can be regarded as... a "token of love".
It has always been placed on Hu Lai's desk, and he seems to cherish it very much.
Li Qingqing thought that this football would become an eternal souvenir and lose the attributes of the football itself.
Unexpectedly, Hu Lai took it off the desk today and kicked it again?
"What's so reluctant about it? Isn't it originally a football? Besides, it's just an emergency. Let the fat man buy us a full set of training equipment tomorrow, including a new football, so we can train at home." Hu Lai
Throw the football up and head towards Li Qingqing.
Li Qingqing raised his foot to stop the ball and found that the ball had enough air and was not deficient, so it met the conditions for use.
"Okay. Let's go after an hour's rest. I'll review my Spanish first."
Song Jiajia hired a Spanish teacher for Li Qingqing, but he didn't come every day. He had three classes a week, three times.
When he is not here, Li Qingqing reviews Spanish by himself.
This was her routine before coming to Madrid in Julai.
Now that Hu Lai is here, things are naturally different.
"Then I will help you review. If you have anything you don't know, you can ask me." Hu Lai sat down next to Li Qingqing.
"good."
Li Qingqing agreed readily at first, but she soon regretted it because...
"What are you doing?" she turned around and asked.
"Look at you." Hu Lai, who was standing next to him, supported his head with one hand and looked at Li Qingqing slightly sideways.
"Then don't keep looking like this...I'll be distracted!" Li Qingqing protested.
"You are so beautiful, why don't you just look at me more than once?" Hu Lai said shamelessly.
"You can watch as you like, but don't bother me here when I'm studying!"
In the end, Hu Lai was chased away by Li Qingqing.
"I'll call you again if you can't!"
※※※
Hu Lai, who was driven away, climbed to the terrace on the second floor, looked to the left and saw the lights coming on in his neighbor's house.
They are said to be neighbors, but in fact they are almost a hundred meters apart.
There is some movement over there, but I can't hear it very clearly. The same goes for it the other way around.
It's completely different from the domestic neighborly relationship where if you chop some ribs upstairs, your windows will shake.
After two and a half years in Leeds, Hulay has already got used to this kind of life.
At the very least, no one would easily disturb the world between him and Li Qingqing.
He looked at the neighbors and remembered what Song Jiajia said. That seemed to be Maxi Carey's home.
Maxi Carey is famous, of course Hu Lai has heard of it.
This statement has been circulating in the market. Although it has never been confirmed, many people are willing to believe that it is true:
That is, if Maxi Carey were not for personality reasons, he could actually compete with Alexandra Cerrados for the "Four Kings".
After all, before Cerrados won the World Cup, he was the weakest among the "Four Kings".
Louis Francis is in the same team as him. He is the top player of the Madrid Kings. He has won all the national team honors and club honors and is the winner of the football Grand Slam.
Not to mention Serius Caesar of the Turin Bulls, among the four kings, he has maintained an excellent state until now. The "all-round superman" in world football has almost no shortcomings whether it is physical or technical.
He has won all the honors that the club should get, and he has also won all the personal honors. At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, he helped Italy win the World Cup championship, ranking first among the "Four Kings", both in terms of ability and reputation.
peak.
Gremandel Aylmer, the "Sun King" of the blue and white Munich, is a well-deserved boss of German football. Except for the European Cup champion, he has won all other championships.
Compared with the three of them, Cerrados is indeed a bit weak.
Although he has won many championships in the club, it is with Kings Madrid after all. Isn’t it normal to win championships with Kings Madrid?
In terms of personal influence, before Francis retired, Cerrados could only serve as the "second leader" of the Madrid Kings, and the boss was always Francis.
The national team has zero honors, no World Cup and no European Cup.
Before winning the World Cup in the United States and Canada, many people felt that Cerrados was forcing the Four Kings.
And Maxi Carey is the most vocal among those players who are considered to be the "Four Kings".
National team honors, Maxi Carey and Cerrados were both zero at the time.
The club's honor falls short of the Champions League title.
But after all, he is in Madrid Pirates, not Madrid Kings, so being able to achieve such results is enough to show his strong personal ability.
In addition, Maxi Carey's playing style is free and elegant, full of imagination, and is even better than Cerrados in terms of ornamental value.
In the eyes of the majority of fans, the popularity is naturally very high.
Of course, there is nothing to argue about this issue now. Cerrados led the Spanish team to win the 2026 World Cup in the United States and Canada. He himself also won the World Cup Best Player with four goals and two assists.
The debate over whether he is qualified to become the "Four Heavenly Kings" came to an abrupt end.
…
Maxi Carey is a top star with extremely high talent and talent, but he also has a bad temper...
Although Hu Lai has never been in contact with this superstar, he has been deeply impressed. The most profound impression was last year's World Cup.
Originally, the Chinese team players were a little nervous as they participated in the World Cup for the first time.
After hearing that Maxi Carey was unexpectedly injured and withdrawn from the World Cup, everyone became even more nervous. Even a slightly fierce fight in training could cause a small conflict.
So it can actually be said that the conflict between Jiang Wanqing and Gao Chen was triggered by Maxi Carey...
After that injury, Kyrie was leaving the airport, facing the fans and media reporters who were flocking to him, and said coolly: "Do you feel regretful about missing the World Cup? No, it is not my regret that I can't participate in the World Cup, but the World Cup's
Pity."
This sentence also left a deep impression on Hu Lai, because it really seemed like he was showing off.
Of course, Maxi Carey is indeed the "King of Persuasion", and he is especially good at showing off.
There are always a few players with special personalities in world football, and Maxi Carey is one of them.
In addition, after being criticized for his unique personality, he once said this golden sentence:
"For those who don't like me, I have only one sentence: The mountain is there. Whether you like it or not, the mountain is there."
This sentence has simply become a classic quotation that can represent Maxi Carey.
as well as:
"Fuck me, 'MAX' is such a dick!"
His other nickname "MAX" also comes from this sentence.
Maxi Carey's names MAXI and MAX differ only by one letter.
MAX also means the highest, the most, the biggest, and the limit, so he used this word to express that he is the most powerful player in the world and does not pay attention to the "Four Kings" at all.
A fanatic nicknamed "Marx" and a club like "Working Class Vanguard" really complement each other...
Hu Lai complained in his heart.
A person with such a full personality is the number one star of his new club, so it’s hard to get along with him...
But Hu Lai is not afraid.
He has been fighting wits and courage with his own father since he was a child. He doesn't know how to write the word "fear".
"Hulai!"
Li Qingqing's call sounded from downstairs.
"Coming!"
Hu Lai responded and ran downstairs quickly.
His Li Qingqing needed him, so he drove Caiyun there.

After Li Qingqing finished studying Spanish, the two of them changed their clothes and appeared on the lawn in the backyard.
"To train the left foot is actually very simple, just add restrictions in the training: 'All ball touching actions can only be performed with the left foot.' Starting from bumping the ball, first develop the ball feel of the left foot."
As Li Qingqing said that, he used his left foot to step on the football from the ground. He stepped on the football with his foot and pushed it down, causing the football to jump up after being squeezed and deformed. Then he used his foot to lift the football up.
She only used her left foot to hit the ball and looked very skilled.
It's not obvious at all that her dominant foot is actually her right foot. If there were a women's football game, Li Qingqing's reverse-foot ability in the game would be at full value.
After a while, Li Qingqing handed the football to Hu Lai with his left foot: "Go on! Use your left foot!"
When Hu Lai reflexively wanted to lift her right foot, she shouted.
Hu Lai switched to his left foot in a hurry and failed to stop properly.
He himself was a little embarrassed: "It doesn't count this time, I'm not ready!"
He really wasn't ready, that's not an excuse.
Li Qingqing smiled happily, because she suddenly seemed to have returned to the secret base eight years ago.
"No need to do it again, just hit the ball with your left foot."
Li Qingqing assigned the task and watched from the side.
Hu Lai would bounce around and would always reflexively switch to his right foot. At this time, Li Qingqing would remind him loudly.
In fact, Hu Lai's left foot does not say that he can't even bounce the ball in the simplest way, but he usually bounces the ball with his left and right feet alternately. Once he is asked to bounce the ball with his left foot only, which goes against his habit, he
It always takes some getting used to.
Fortunately, it didn't take him long to adapt.
After Li Qingqing saw that he was used to it, he did not let him continue to bounce. Instead, he stopped and asked him to pass the football with his left foot.
The two of them passed the ball to each other.
Pass with left foot, receive with left foot.
At first, he passed the ball on the spot and received the ball on the same spot. Later, when Li Qingqing saw Hu Lai gradually adapting, he started running to pass the ball and receive the ball.
After the two went to the football park to "eat", this was actually the first time in many years that Hu Lai and Li Qingqing played together.
Hu Lai also had a new understanding of the growth of Li Qingqing's abilities.
It has to be said that regardless of the innate gap in physical confrontation between men's and women's football teams, Hu Lai believes that Li Qingqing should be one of the top players in football.
Especially the basic skills are very solid.
Even though so far they have all been simple passes, the power of every pass passed by Li Qingqing... is actually exactly the same!
Can you believe this?
It's like a ruthless serving machine. After setting the parameters such as strength and speed, each kick will be the same as the previous kick. How much control does this have to do with your own muscle strength...
Hu Lai has always known that Li Qingqing is the genius of the Chinese women's football team and has a very high position in the world's women's football team. Otherwise, the Madrid king would not have spent so much money to sign her from Paris Eger.
But in fact, it was not until today that Hu Lai had a deeper and more realistic understanding of how powerful Li Qingqing really was.
He even thought that if he could live with Li Qingqing earlier, how fast his football level would improve...
Thinking of this, Hu Lai had a sudden idea and entered the system space. He used his points to buy [Advanced Training Scroll: Passing] and [Advanced Training Scroll: Catching], as well as [Advanced Training Scroll: Shooting], and used them on himself.
He wanted to see if his private training with Li Qingqing at home would be recognized by the system as a "training class."
The result is...well, the system doesn't think this is a formal training session.
After using the scroll, the icon also appeared in the BUFF column, but the icon was gray...
The description is not valid.
It seems that it is not feasible to earn system bonuses by opening a small stove.
But Hu Lai himself is not too disappointed. After all, even without the bonus of the training scroll, as long as he trains honestly every day, his abilities will still improve.
It's just that the speed will be a little slower.
Just go slow.
Just as Fatty Song said, he and Li Qingqing will still have a long life in the future... How can they stay together day and night?
※※※
The football rolled quickly on the lawn, making a rustling sound.
Li Qingqing watched the football rolling towards Hu Lai and couldn't help but smile on his face.
Privately, she thought a lot about what would happen after she and Hu Lai lived together.
The only thing I didn’t expect was that they would pass the ball to each other in the yard like this...
But she was not disgusted, let alone disappointed.
She was even happy.
She seemed to have returned to eight years ago in 2019, when she and Hu Lai met in a secret base and she became his coach.
They were only sixteen years old at that time.
She was extremely grateful that she met Hu Lai when she was sixteen years old, at a time when she didn't even know if she could continue playing football.
She is even more fortunate that even after eight years, they can still play together like this.
Football is really good...
Li Qingqing whipped the football toward Hu Lai.
Hu Lai stopped the ball according to his previous habit, but his raised left foot was hit and he took a step back, almost missing the ball.
"Wow! Why did you suddenly increase your power?" Hu Lai exclaimed.
Li Qingqing said seriously: "Well, I think you have adapted, so I started to increase the difficulty!"
Hu Lai looked at her suspiciously: "Is that so?"
"Of course! I'm your coach!" After saying that, she hooked her hand to Hu Lai, "passing the football back will also increase the strength."
Hu Lai obeyed and did as he was told.
Bang!
"Look, if you use a little more force, the ball won't be passed accurately." Li Qingqing turned to look at the football hitting the wall next to him and said to Hu Lai.
Hu Lai opened his mouth and found that he had no way to refute. He could only say: "Come again!"
