"Hu Lai, are you really not going to respond to the demands of those Leeds City fans?"
In the yard where the lights were turned on but still a little dim at night, Li Qingqing was passing the football to Hu Lai. Along with the football, there was also her question.
Hu Lai raised his left foot, did not stop the ball, but pushed it directly, pushing the football towards the courtyard wall.
There is a very small goal there.
The football bounced on the lawn and missed the goal.
"Ah!" Hu Lai sighed with regret, then ran to pick up the ball while answering Li Qingqing's question just now.
"No, I won't celebrate after Flanders scores a goal. In that case, what's the difference between me and Sean Barnett back then?"
"Actually, so many fans want you to do it. If you really do it, no one will think you are ungrateful."
"That's their opinion. I have my own opinion, and I won't go against my own ideas." Hu Lai answered firmly.
He picked up the football and passed it to Li Qingqing with his left foot.
After Li Qingqing caught the ball, the two changed their training methods.
She took the ball to the other side of the swimming pool, across the swimming pool from Hu Lai.
Then he used his left foot to kick the football across the swimming pool and towards Hu Lai through a long pass.
Hu Lai had to stop the ball with his left foot, and then use his left foot to kick the football towards Li Qingqing on the other side of the swimming pool.
As the distance increases, the passing accuracy plummets.
When Hu Lai and Li Qingqing first conducted this training, there was even a situation where he couldn't exert his strength and kicked the football into the swimming pool.
Then Hu Lai asked Li Qingqing to jump into the swimming pool and pick up the football because he couldn't swim.
In this way, he can admire the wet Li Qingqing on the shore... The wet clothes stick to her skin, highlighting the graceful body curves, making Hu Lai's heart beat faster and his breathing become heavier.
.
While saying sorry, he kicked the football into the swimming pool again...
Hu Lai really couldn't swim, and he didn't lie to Li Qingqing. He even gave Li Qingqing an idea to ask her to wear a bikini swimsuit next time she trains, so that she won't be afraid of going into the water to catch the ball.
But Li Qingqing was smarter than Hu Lai thought. She drained the swimming pool directly!
So up to now, the open-air heated swimming pool in Hu Lai and Li Qingqing's mansion is dry, without a drop of water in it.
Did the football fall into the pool?
It doesn't matter, whoever kicks it will go down and pick it up!
Under the training of "Strict Master", Hu Lai's left foot improved rapidly.
Because he doesn’t want to jump into the swimming pool to pick up the ball and climb back up again and again... That would be really tiring!
After receiving Hu Lai's left-foot pass again, Li Qingqing passed it back and shouted to Hu Lai across the swimming pool: "But you will let them down, Hu Lai."
Hu Lai did not answer her, but stopped the ball and passed the ball.
Li Qingqing saw this and stopped continuing the topic.
From the very first time she met Hu Lai, she knew that this man had extraordinary stubbornness.
The reason why Leeds City fans made such a big fuss is that they hope that Hulay can celebrate after scoring a goal in the game. Logically speaking, this is a good thing for everyone. He only needs to do a celebration.
Everyone is happy, and it can also lead to a legendary story in football, how wonderful...
But he just wouldn't do it.
Hu Lai seems to have no bottom line in some things.
For example, his "two cramps in a row" at the last moment of the last game against the Kings of Madrid aroused criticism and attacks from Kings fans after the game. They thought that he was acting, pretending to have cramps even though he did not have cramps, deliberately delaying time, and showing no sportsmanship.
Hu Lai didn't explain that he really had cramps and was not just acting. No matter how those people scolded him, he seemed to be indifferent.
He seems to be deliberately trying to provoke hatred and dissatisfaction among his rival fans against him.
The more those people scolded him, the more energetic he became.
But in other matters, Hu Lai is very decisive.
This standard does not classify things based on their importance, nor is it based on other people's perceptions. It cannot even be judged on the basis of right and wrong.
It's just Hu Lai's personal preference.

When Julay arrived at Leeds airport with Madrid Pirates, he was blocked at the exit by reporters.
Journalists from the UK, Spain, China... and other countries put their microphones with the logos of their respective media in front of Hu Lai's mouth.
"Excuse me, Hu, have you heard the cry of Leeds City fans? What do you think of this?"
The "HUUUUU Challenge" planned by John Falkingham was very successful. It was not only popular among Leeds City fans, but many Pirates fans also participated in it. Their happy atmosphere seemed as if the two teams were going to compete next.
The game being played doesn't matter.
In addition, the event also went viral, with people who were not fans imitating Hu Lai’s celebrations on TikTok.
This incident is no longer just about Leeds City fans wanting to express their love for Hu Lai, but it has become a pop culture phenomenon.
But no matter what, the focus still falls on the ultimate essence.
The essence is...
How does Hulay respond to such passionate Leeds City fans?
Will he give Leeds City fans what they want?
This matter has also caused widespread discussion on the Internet.
The host of "The Season", Klein, and two guests, Ingram and Nelson, discussed this issue very seriously.
Discuss whether Hulay will cater to the wishes of Leeds City fans.
They all think that Hu Lai should cater to him, after all, this is something that everyone is happy with.
And once it is completed, a new "good talk" will be added for him.
Just like the game between Leeds City and London Mars.
Fans of his former club cried and shouted for Hulay to celebrate after scoring against them…
Something like this has never happened before in world football.
If Hu Lai does it, he will become the first person in history!
But Hu Lai showed his stubborn side in front of the world's media.
"I don't know if I can score in the game. But if I do, I won't celebrate. I know the Leeds fans love me and I love them and I'm grateful that they think so highly of me. I think we
There is no need to prove the relationship with these formal things. In short, it is all here..."
Facing the camera, Hu Lai patted his left chest and heart.

"...Hu Lai personally stated in an interview that he would not celebrate after scoring. If he could score, many Leeds City fans would be very disappointed. But I think Hu Lai made a wise choice. He did not
I was carried away by the enthusiasm of some Leeds City fans. After all, as a player who is regarded as a god by Leeds City fans, if he celebrates after scoring his former club's goal... it will always make people feel awkward. At least I am very
It’s hard to imagine that scene…”
"Yeah. To be honest, when I talk about celebrating after scoring against my former club... I can't help but think of Sean Barnett running all the way to the Flanders Nordstand after scoring the Leeds City goal and sliding to his knees.
That scene... can be regarded as a classic, hahaha!"
In the first-team restaurant at the Leeds City training base, 18 people selected for the Champions League squad are having dinner here.
On the TV in the restaurant, the host and guests were discussing the news that happened at Manchester Airport this afternoon.
In passing, I mentioned an almost forgotten person.
As soon as Pete Williams looked away from the TV screen, he saw the team's captain Lorenzo Esposito sitting opposite him holding a dinner plate.
And winked at him: "Did you also think of Sean?"
Peter didn't answer, but Lorenzo said to himself:
"I think of what Sean said and did after leaving the team... After leaving the team, he always frequently mentioned on various occasions how he didn't want to leave Leeds City. But as a result, he often
A player who talks about his love for his former team does not love his former team."
"He just wants to take advantage of the fans' feelings towards him," Pitt finally said. "Creating a perfect image will help enhance his own commercial value."
"Those who are keen on creating a certain setting will eventually destroy the character they have worked so hard to create." Lorenzo lamented.
"Because that's not the real him. If it's not the real one, it will reveal its flaws sooner or later."
"Hu, on the other hand, hasn't mentioned the team in public at all after he left the team... He seems to be unsympathetic." Lorenzo said this and glanced at Pete, "Hu said he couldn't celebrate, wouldn't he?
Will it give you some relief?"
Peter pouted: "Captain, I think everyone has made a mistake."
"What's up?"
"Everyone is discussing whether he will celebrate after scoring a goal... Do we all agree that he will definitely score a goal? Why can't he just fail to score a goal in one game?"
Lorenzo looked at Pete Williams. His expression was serious, not like he was joking.
He laughed: "Peter, you are already a qualified captain."
