At the Madrid airport, Hu Lai was saying goodbye to Song Jiajia.
"Don't worry, bring them all!"
Song Jiajia answered simply.
"Help me say hello to the coach again..."
Song Jiajia refused simply: "That's not possible! Ask yourself!"
"Damn, what's the use of you! Get out of here!"
"Oh, okay!"
Song Jiajia said goodbye to Hu Lai in a hurry.
He wants to take a direct flight to Jincheng and bring back Hulay's century-turning ball. This football is signed by all the players of the Madrid Pirates team. Its final destination is Hulay's football museum.
There is a special exhibition hall there, tentatively named "Classic Review". It is full of such game balls.
Each ball represents a game, and these games are Hu Lai's outstanding performances or memorable games.
Behind each football, a multimedia screen will be designed, which will loop the video footage of the classic moment represented by the ball. Of course, it is also possible to just put a QR code, and visitors can scan the QR code to see the video on their own.
Play the corresponding video on your mobile phone so as not to disturb others.
Although every hat-trick goal scored by Hulay will be preserved, not all hat-trick goals can appear in the exhibition hall.
A goal like this, although not a hat trick, but more important than a hat trick, will definitely occupy a very conspicuous position in the exhibition hall.
It even occupies a display cabinet by itself.
As the media said, this ball is a real work of art and should be placed in an exhibition hall for people to admire.
Then Xie Lan will put it into reality.
When Song Jiajia returned to China, Hu Lai didn't come specifically to see him off. Instead, he was coming to the airport in the first place. It was just a drop-in.
After the Madrid derby, the league was suspended and the national team match day arrived.
This time, the Chinese team, led by Jorge Dillon, flew from China to Europe for a training camp, so he did not have to rush to the airport directly from the competition venue and then take a plane as soon as the game was over, as before.
Return to China to participate in the national team competition.
He even stayed at the club for an extra day for recovery training with fitness coach Diego Morales.
Then leave for Serbia to join the national team.
In the two warm-up matches, the Chinese team will first play Serbia, and then go to Zurich to play against the Swiss national team.
These two teams are the backbone of European football. They are not top teams, but they are definitely not weak either.
Choosing them as warm-up opponents will not only allow the Chinese team to see the average level of Europe, but also prevent them from being beaten too badly because their opponents are too strong, which will affect their confidence.

"Let's go, Xiao Min, Yunlong, let's go shopping."
Guo Junfu and Liu Yan knocked on the door of Gao Ruimin and Tan Yunlong's room and greeted them.
"Where are we going?" Gao Ruimin's voice came from inside. The two of them walked in together with Tan Yunlong, who opened the door for them, and found Gao Ruimin still naked from the waist up, lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone.
"Let's just take a stroll. We have been here for three days, and we have only trained. We don't even know what the city looks like." Guo Junfu said. "Anyway, there is no training this afternoon."
Liu Yan said: "I plan to bring some Serbian specialties back to my family."
“What specialties can this place like Serbia have?”
Despite what he said, Gao Ruimin still got up from the bed.
"I checked, and it seems that they are mainly handmade crafts, which are very suitable for buying back and giving as gifts," Liu Yan said.
Gao Ruimin joked: "Maybe you can turn it over and see: made in a."
Then he asked Tan Yunlong: "Are you going?"
"Go. It's okay anyway." Tan Yunlong answered simply.
"Okay, let's go out for a walk."
The four of them went out together and met Hong Renjie, the leader of the national team, in the hotel lobby.
"Why are you going?" Hong Renjie asked them.
"Let's go shopping, Director Hong." The four people replied in unison.
"Okay, come back soon." Hong Renjie waved his hand without asking any more questions.
The four of them said goodbye to Hong Renjie and walked out. Looking back, they could still see him still standing in the lobby.
※※※
Four people wearing the sports uniforms of the Chinese team were walking on the streets of Belgrade, looking at this exotic city.
Guo Junfu also frequently took out his mobile phone to take photos.
Take pictures of the shop signs here, the houses with red tile spiers, and the winding alleys decorated with flowers.
Everything here seems to arouse his interest.
Liu Yan stared at the shop windows to see if there was anything of interest to him.
Tan Yunlong and Gao Ruimin accompanied them shopping and chatting at the same time.
"Hey, you said, Lao Hong is wandering around the lobby, waiting for Hu Lai?"
"Otherwise, who else can there be? Who is worthy of Lao Hong personally waiting at the gate?"
"Hu Lai just scored such a cool goal. It's normal for Lao Hong to greet him personally..."
"No, even if the goal hadn't been scored, Lao Hong would have gone to greet him in person. You have all forgotten that when we were on the Olympic team, didn't Team Leader Ran come out specifically to greet him?"
Guo Junfu's words suddenly brought everyone back to six years ago, when they were still playing in the Olympic team.
"Oh, I never imagined at that time that Hu Lai's achievements would be so high..." Gao Ruimin sighed.
He was the first veteran player to take the initiative to express his goodwill to Hu Lai after he first came to the Olympic team.
At that time, some teammates complained about his behavior, saying he was bowing to the newcomers.
Now that I think about it, isn't it normal to bow to Hu Lai?
Now, who among the Chinese players can not bow in front of Hu Lai?
"Otherwise, Leader Ran was the team leader. He would have taken the initiative to greet Hu Lai at that time. He must have thought that Hu Lai's future would be limitless... Such a foresight."
The four people were chatting like this when they heard someone shouting behind them:
"a!a!a!!"
The four of them turned around and looked around, and saw two children about ten years old pointing at them.
To be precise, he pointed at their backs.
The four people looked at each other. They came out wearing the uniforms of the Chinese team, with the huge English word "China" embroidered on the back of their sports coats:
a
So these two children learned through this that they are both Chinese?
Before arriving, all four of them had heard rumors about Serbian people having a favorable impression of the Chinese.
Now I see that Serbian children are so excited after seeing "a", which seems to prove that the rumors are correct.
"Hi, hello." Guo Junfu tried to greet them in English. "Are you calling us?"
The two children did not answer them, but looked at each other. Then they suddenly made Hu Lai's signature celebration action.
They jumped up on the spot, turned 180 degrees, and waved their hands down.
After landing, he shouted:
“huuuuu!!!”
※※※
Guo Junfu and his party watched the two Serbian children leave happily.
Before that, they had just fulfilled the photo request of two children.
"I think they are not our fans..."
Looking at the bouncing backs of the two children, Tan Yunlong murmured.
"Isn't this nonsense?" Gao Ruimin joked, "You can even think with your knees that they are Hu Lai's fans."
It has been three days since the Chinese team arrived in Belgrade. During these three days, the team has trained every day.
Every time we train, many Serbian fans gather outside the training ground.
At first everyone thought these people were fans of the Chinese team - although this is incredible, but as the Chinese team performs well in international competitions and there are more and more overseas players, maybe there really are in Europe.
Where are the fans?
Just like world-class teams such as Spain, Germany, Italy, Brazil, and Argentina also have huge fans in China.
But they soon realized that they were wishful thinking.
Those Serbians are not fans of the Chinese team, they are just fans of Hu Lai.
They came to watch the Chinese team play, and they just wanted to see what Hu Lai's national team was like.
Guo Junfu, who took a picture of the two children's backs, put down his mobile phone and said: "After the World Cup next year, I want to go abroad to play football."
The other three people all turned to look at him.
"I actually had a chance this year, but it's the World Cup soon and I don't dare to take the risk. After the World Cup next year, I won't stay in China no matter what," Guo Junfu told them.
own reasons.
"Next year? You will be twenty-nine next year, Lao Guo. How can you go abroad at the age of twenty-nine?" Gao Ruimin couldn't help but frown. "The team that wants you this year may not want you next year..."
"Then you have to go abroad and play in Europe's second-rate league, which is better than staying in China." Guo Junfu's attitude is very determined. "Brother Huan is getting older in the next World Cup, and I have to step up. But if I continue to stay in China, I will only
I’m afraid I won’t even be qualified to participate in the World Cup.”
Hearing this, the other three people fell silent.
Among the four of them, Guo Junfu's future was originally the most promising.
At that time, Zhang Qinghuan was still struggling with the "scumbag" persona, and everyone had given up on this former top talent in Chinese football.
Under such circumstances, Guo Junfu, who has been the core organizer of the team from the National Youth Team, National Youth Team, and National Olympic Team, naturally has high hopes and is regarded as the core midfielder of the Chinese national team after Zhang Qinghuan.
But he failed to take up this important role.
On the one hand, it is naturally because Zhang Qinghuan turned back as a prodigal son. On the other hand, it has a lot to do with Guo Junfu's own slow growth and failure to meet everyone's expectations.
Zhang Qinghuan, who was born in 2000, will be 34 years old when the next local World Cup takes place.
Having gone through a detour at a young and frivolous age, it may be difficult for him to maintain a good competitive condition at this age and continue to be the core midfielder of the Chinese national team.
Who can replace Zhang Qinghuan then?
Now it’s Guo Junfu.
But Guo Junfu has his own worries - given the continuous improvement of the Chinese football environment and the continuous emergence of talents, who knows what vigorous young people will emerge in Chinese football in five years?
If he didn't work hard, who said he would definitely be able to take over from Zhang Qinghuan?
By then, let alone succeeding Zhang Qinghuan, he might not even be qualified to participate in the World Cup.
In order not to miss the World Cup held at his doorstep, Guo Junfu must make changes.
Even if it was too late to go abroad at the age of twenty-nine, he still had to make up for it.
After listening to Guo Junfu's words and thinking of their own situation, everyone suddenly lost interest in continuing shopping.
"Go back." Liu Yan said first. "It's almost time for Hu Lai to arrive."
"Um."
