Every player from the Dongchuan Middle School football team who came to Chu Yifan's home would show a surprised expression after seeing the extra girls in the house.
Then after Yan Yan introduced everyone that this was his colleague, their eyes became ambiguous.
Although they didn't say anything and their conversation was normal, how could Yan Yan not know what they were thinking?
I can only respond with a blank stare.
Then he lowered his head and explained to Jiang Yin on WeChat: "Those people are like this, don't take it to heart!"
Jiang Yin lowered her head and replied: "How could that be? You are indeed Hu Lai's teammate!"
"Ah? How do you say this?" Yan Yan was very surprised.
"Because they are all very interesting! They are indeed the same as the legendary Hu Lai!"
Yan Yan: "... Just say they are all cheap..."
The girl responded to him with an expression covering her mouth and snickering.
The takeaways are all here, and so are the people.
Everyone sat down and started eating dinner.
During the dinner, they talked about many topics.
As a "newcomer" attending this kind of gathering for the first time, Jiang Yin was relatively silent or reserved at first.
After a few glasses of wine, coupled with the atmosphere, he became more lively. He frequently asked Hu Lai’s alumni and teammates about interesting gossips from the past.
In fact, no one talks about those past events much anymore - because they have been talked about too many times.
But this time there were new people coming, so everyone naturally talked about the past with great interest.
From the time when Hu Lai first entered the school team until he left school to join the Poseidon youth team.
Everyone told those past events vividly and interestingly from their own different perspectives, as if people were reliving the first volume of "".
After eating, everyone moved to the living room, turned on the game consoles, and started the pre-game repertoire - football game battle.
This time, naturally, the Chinese team will compete with the English team.
Everyone takes turns, and who will use the Chinese team and who will use the England team will be decided by guessing.
Some of them drank too much and were already lying on the sofa and snoring.
Smokers go to the balcony outside the living room, smoke, and close the glass sliding door to get an independent "smoking area."
Jiang Yin observed all this curiously.
Until Tang Xiuyuan interrupted her by asking: "What are you looking at?"
"Ah?" Jiang Yin came back to her senses and explained with some embarrassment, "I think they have a really good relationship...it has been so many years since they graduated from high school, and everyone is still the same as when they were in school..."
When she said this, Yan Yan, who lost the game with the Chinese team, was booed by others: "Old Yan, you are too good at your level!"
"What kind of food? I am helping the Chinese team build up their character!"
"Hey, does the Archbishop still need to save his character?"
"You don't understand, this is a necessary ritual!" Yan Yan explained.
"Day, food is food!"
Looking at this group of men fighting and quarreling, Tang Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Men are always like children who will never grow up..."
"So Hu Lai is like this too!" Jiang Yin thought about a problem.
That's why Hu Lai is always so..."special in temperament".
Tang Xiuyuan smiled and said nothing, neither confirming nor denying Jiang Yin's statement.
The two of them turned their attention to the shouting men again.
Then I saw in the game, England forward Marvin Stones broke into the penalty area and was knocked to the ground by the Chinese team's defender Qin Qi!
The referee blew the whistle decisively and awarded a penalty kick!
The men shouted louder:
"My day! Is this okay?"
"System Bureau!"
"Qin Qi sent another point...it's amazing! Did he score a penalty kick?"
"Meng Xi, don't push!" Yan Yan guided Meng Xi, who was in control of the Chinese team.
Meng Xi looked innocent: "I didn't push! I just pressed the press button...Does this game have the same hidden attributes as "The Godfather of Champions"? Is Qin Qi's filthiness at full value?"
"You can't keep pressing the pressing button. This generation is very strict about pressing in the penalty area. If you make any movement with your hands, you may be called for a foul..." Mao Xiao explained next to him.
Meng Xi reacted: "Do you want it to be so real? I always press the pressing button when I'm defending..."
"It's just to prevent players like you from mindlessly pressing the pressing button when defending."
After everyone laughed at Meng Xi, it was time to take the penalty kick.
"This is my specialty!" Meng Xi said as he twisted around and put the handle outside of his body.
Chen Rui, who controlled the England team, also made the same move. Neither of them wanted to be seen by the other party moving the joystick.
Then they make their choices at the same time!
In the game, Pete Williams shot the football towards the lower right corner of the goal, while Meng Xi rushed in the completely opposite direction!
When the football flew into the net, everyone started laughing at Meng Xi for being too good.
Meng Xi defended himself: "Oh! This is a game, and there is a delay in controlling the game! If I were to guard the goal myself, Chen Rui would definitely not be able to kick the ball in!"
"Hey!" Yan Yan shouted, "We will be training next weekend, and we will let you and Chen Rui have a penalty shootout!"
Others also followed suit: "I also apply to fight!"
"Let's give Meng Xi a special penalty kick training!"
After everyone was laughing and joking, someone suddenly said: "If we use the Chinese team to play against the England team, it does not reflect the true level of the two teams. The Chinese team can beat England only because the players are skilled...
...Why don’t we just let the computer simulate the match between the two teams and let’s see what the result is?”
His proposal was quickly approved by others.
So we began to set the Chinese team’s lineup.
Because there are still a few hours before the game, the starting lineups of both sides have not been released yet. Everyone can only guess based on their own experience.
Guessing the starting lineup is actually a kind of fun.
No one has any objections to the offensive lineup in the frontcourt. They must field the strongest lineup available.
But there were differences in the backcourt.
Some people think that Qin Qi's performance in the last 20 minutes of the game against Nigeria was remarkable. Dillon should start him in this game, replacing Liu Yan.
But some people took Qin Qi's performance in the game just now as an example. They believed that Qin Qi's performance was unstable and it was impossible for Dillon to start a young central defender who was only 20 years old in such an important game. That would be wrong.
It is a huge pressure for Qin Qi, and it is not a good thing for the team. If he loses, Qin Qi may be infamy...
No one could convince anyone, and in the end they voted and the majority agreed to put Qin Qi on the starting lineup.
So Qin Qi sat on the bench.
There are also different opinions on the issue of whether Luo Kai should start.
Some people think that although Luo Kai was injured, he rested for a whole game and should be able to catch up with the game against England.
And the reason why he was given a rest in the last group match was to enable him to play in the knockout rounds.
If Luo Kai is not allowed to play in the final game against England, what is the point of letting him rest?
Some people also think that whether Luo Kai can play depends on how he recovers from his injury.
Before the game, there was news that Luo Kai had recovered from his injury and could participate in the match against England. However, there was also news that Luo Kai's injury was not over yet. Out of caution, Dillon might not let Luo Kai start.
None of this news has been officially confirmed by the Chinese team. Given that the previous news about Caesar's injury was confusing, it was a smoke bomb deliberately spread by the Italian team.
Now everyone is not sure what the extent of Luo Kai's injury is.
However, out of the fans' simple feelings and expectations, everyone finally put Luo Kai into the starting lineup.
Starting forwards Hu Lai and Zhou Zijing, starting midfielders Zhang Qinghuan, Xia Xiaoyu, Ou Yangjin, Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai, starting defenders Wang Guangwei, Cai Shuyi and Liu Yan, and starting goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan.
This is basically the strongest lineup of the Chinese team at the moment.
However, such a Chinese team with the strongest lineup, under the control of computer AI, played ten times but lost seven times.
Everyone in front of the screen was both angry and shocked, and this seemed to be some kind of "ominous omen".
So everyone cursed:
"Fuck, what a rubbish game!"
"Japan, no matter how good the Chinese team is, it's impossible for them to only have a 30% winning rate, right?"
"Actually, you don't have to pay too much attention to this..." Chu Yifan said. "After all, football games have numerical values. The Chinese team's total score in the game is 78, and the England team's is 86. With such a difference, the winning rate is natural
It can’t be higher. And the AI operation is still far behind the player’s operation, let alone compared with real players.”
Yan Yan echoed: "That's right. At least Hu Lai in the game can't use 'cross talk football' on the opponent's players!"
When he said this, everyone burst into laughter.
Since the simulation results of the game have no reference value, everyone will stop simulating the game and start playing again.
It's just that this time the gameplay has been changed, it's no longer a two-person battle.
Instead, two to four people control the Chinese team at the same time, and then compete with the most difficult AI.
It seems that everyone wants to give back tenfold to the computer the anger they just provoked from the computer simulation...
Just when everyone was having a great time, the real starting lineup of the Chinese team was released.
"My day?"
Meng Xi exclaimed when he saw the Chinese team's starting list on his mobile phone.
"Luo Kai didn't start?!"
