"Don't pay too much attention, Merry. They are just a gust of wind. When this trend passes in two days, they will not discuss it."
So said the agent Alfonso Candela who welcomed Melly home.
Even before the game ended, there was a debate on the Internet about Meili and Hu Lai.
The debate gradually heated up as the game ended.
Because the result of the game is obvious, the current public opinion on the Internet is generally unfavorable to Meili.
Most people still think Hu Lai's performance is better.
Candela is worried that losing both the team and personally will hit Mellie.
Unexpectedly, Melly's reaction was better than he expected.
"I don't care, Alfonso." Merry said while leaving his backpack on the floor. "Since I chose Hu as my opponent, this is the inevitable result. If I win this game, then
Hu will endure the same thing. I think he should also know this."
After hearing this, Candela finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Oh, it's great that you think so. As a consolation, I'll treat you to dinner."
"Not Violet." Melly shook his head.
"Of course I won't go. I'm afraid it's all dominated by Pirates players now..."
Because there are many players from both sides in the town of Herrera, as the highest-end restaurant in the town, it is naturally a place frequented by players from both sides.
It is not uncommon for Kings players to encounter rival players there.
But after a derby, the winning team will most likely go to this restaurant to celebrate. The same is true after winning the championship.
Under such circumstances, there is no need for the sworn enemy to seek trouble.
This is like the Harvest Goddess Square, except that the square is fought over by fans, and the Violet Restaurant is a place where players celebrate.
Generally speaking, before every derby, players from both sides will reserve a seat at the Violet Restaurant in advance.
Then after the game is over, the winning party goes to eat together, and the losing party cancels the reservation.
If it's a tie...someone will go and someone won't, it doesn't matter.
The restaurant also understands this very well and has made preparations in advance to receive players from both sides.
In the past ten years, this has almost become a small tradition in this restaurant.
※※※
As Mellie said, after the game, many Pirates players did show up at the Violet Restaurant.
They had dinner here to celebrate the victory in the Derby.
However, the important contributor to the team's victory did not appear here.
"It's such a pity. It would be great if Hu could also come..." someone sighed.
"I'm afraid it's hard for him to come. We all brought our families, how can he bring him? His girlfriend from the Kings Women's Football Team will come with us to celebrate the victory of the Pirates against the Kings?" Joaquin Vela spread his hands. "It was photographed by then, very
It will obviously get his girlfriend into trouble and controversy."
Hu Lai indeed used this reason to refuse to attend everyone's victory dinner, and it was hard for everyone to say anything.
This is a very real problem.
Hu Lai and his girlfriend belong to two rival teams. Although the men's and women's football teams don't interact with each other most of the time, no one will take it seriously as long as they keep a low profile. But if the person involved insists on provocation in a high-profile manner, then it's another one.
It's all over the place.
After the King of Madrid just lost, it was a wise choice not to bring his girlfriend to the dinner party to avoid irritating the King of Madrid fans.
"Then he won't be able to attend our victory parties anymore?" Toni asked.
Ion smiled and said: "Of course, as long as we stipulate in advance that next time we are not allowed to bring family members!"
Toni, whose wife was sitting next to him, pretended not to hear and did not answer his words.
"Let's not worry about Hu. I believe he must be happier than us now!" Ion held up the wine glass, "Come on, guys, let us celebrate today's victory! This is the first time in four seasons that we have
The Kings overthrew them at home. Let us keep up the good work and gather here again at the end of this season to celebrate the complete defeat of the Kings!"

"Isn't it a pity that I can't celebrate the victory with my teammates because of my fault?"
Sitting at the dining table, Li Qingqing raised her chin and asked Hu Lai opposite him.
Hu Lai shook his head like a rattle: "How can you be regretful? What's there to regret? Dining with a bunch of stinky men is not as good as eating the beef and potatoes you cooked at home?"
"Your desire to survive is a little too strong!" Li Qingqing smiled happily when he heard this, and then explained: "Hey, I'm worried about your popularity in the team..."
"My popularity is fine, don't worry." Hu Lai patted his chest. "Look at my celebration after I scored the first goal in the game. It was actually my impromptu idea. As a result, my teammates immediately understood
You understand my wishes and take the initiative to cooperate with me. Look at my popularity!"
"It was an impromptu idea?" Li Qingqing's eyes widened, "I thought you guys had discussed it."
"No. I just suddenly remembered and hoped to mislead my opponent again..."
Li Qingqing thought of what Hu Lai said in the post-match interview, just like this celebration. Obviously Hu Lai wanted to make everyone think that his left foot was weak.
So she had to point out: "I don't think your tricks will deceive many people. After all, two left-footed goals in one game are difficult to explain by 'luck'. If you really want to deceive people,
, you should only score a goal with your left foot..."
Hu Lai didn't really care: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I don't expect to deceive many people, and how long I can deceive them. I can deceive one person one by one, and I can hide it for as long as I can."
But in fact, Hu Lai didn't really think so, at least it wasn't his idea before he scored the first goal.
He originally planned to only score a goal with his left foot, and then use this to influence Peralta's judgment, increase the difficulty and cost of his defensive choices, and thereby reduce the defensive pressure on himself.
This way you will have more chances to score.
To put it bluntly, why do you have to improve your left-footed scoring ability? Isn’t it to make the opponent not know which foot to guard when defending him?
Although he still doesn't have a great left foot, he can use this left foot to mislead Peralta.
But just after he scored with his left foot, he found that the system had updated a series of tasks.
He is asked to score five goals in total with his left foot. The ball just now is not counted, and the count starts from zero now.
In addition to 50,000 points, the mission reward also includes a bottle of [Recovery Ointment]. At the same time, the next stage of the mission will be started.
The rewards are still not huge.
But considering that he only needs to score five goals with his left foot, and there are follow-up tasks, Hu Lai will naturally not ignore it.
So he chose to use his right foot to complete the fake move in the subsequent game instead of trying to lure Peralta with his left foot.
Sure enough, the first left-footed goal completed this task.
Now the mission progress is displayed as "1/5", and there are still four balls left to complete the mission.
Of course, even if there are only four balls left, this task is not easy to complete.
Because Hu Lai's left foot ability is not good enough to hit wherever he points, the main scorer must be his right foot.
If he forces himself to use his left foot more in order to complete the task, it may affect his scoring efficiency. In that case, the gain outweighs the loss.
This task will be gradually completed as his left foot improves, and he will not deliberately pursue the number of goals scored with his left foot in future games.
Besides...after the match against the Kings of Madrid, it is estimated that in the next period of time, opponents will know to guard against his left foot, and there will not be many opportunities for his left foot.
At this time, we should continue to be stubborn...no, we should continue to develop in a low-key manner.
You still need to continue training your left foot, but don’t put too much hope in your current left foot.
In the next game, he will use whatever foot he needs. He will not deliberately not use his left foot like before, because it is no longer necessary.
What he did before was just to spite the King of Madrid.
Since you have successfully tricked the king, there is no need to continue to do so, which will make it look fake.
After all, from a normal person's point of view, he has already scored with his left foot in the game, but the biggest abnormality is that he does not use his left foot to shoot in the next game...
If there is a chance to shoot with his left foot, Hu Lai will not let it go.
In short, all actions must comply with normal logic.
This is just like his long shot.
He has the ability to score from long range, but he won't use it frequently. If he has a chance, he will take a kick. If he can score, he will celebrate. If he can't, it doesn't matter.
…
"I don't think about my left foot now. There is one more important thing than my left foot." Hu Lai's face suddenly became solemn.
"Is there anything else important?" Li Qingqing opened his eyes slightly and asked doubtfully.
"I was thinking about how you would avenge the king tonight!"
Li Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then his whole face instantly turned red and he spat: "Rogue!"
Hu Lai laughed heartily, not ashamed, but proud.
During the day, I defeated my mortal enemy in the game, and at night, I slept with my dear ones... What a wonderful day!
