Li Qingqing and her teammates took their meals and went to the other side of the restaurant, where they were all members of the women's national football team.
From time to time, women's laughter and laughter came from over there, attracting the boys of the Olympic team to yearn for it...
Of course, they only dared to cast their eyes over there occasionally, and no one dared to directly go up and strike up a conversation with Li Qingqing.
You must know that this is the women's national football team, not the women's Olympic team. The players are also well-known figures in the domestic football world, and no one is a light bulb. The boys from the Olympic team ran up to chat with Li Qingqing in front of them, then
Aren't you looking for death?
Li Qingqing is now the most protected person in the women's national football team.
To put it bluntly, anyone who wants to fall in love with Li Qingqing will probably have to face the critical eyes and difficulties of more than 20 natal family members...
Therefore, the men's football team and the women's football team are clearly separated in the restaurant. They can only look at each other in the huge restaurant.
The restaurant at the Hongfengling training base is very large. It is said that it can accommodate 700 people to dine here at the same time, which is more than enough for a wedding banquet.
However, considering that there are 300 guest rooms in Hongfengling, the capacity of this restaurant is normal.
Such a large restaurant will naturally be far from full, given the number of members of the current Olympic team and the women's national football team.
So you can tell something from the distribution of seats chosen by everyone.
For example, before Hu Lai and the others came, there was only two people sitting at a huge table of ten, Li Chengwu and Liu Jinge, and no one was sitting with them.
Obviously, these two people must be newcomers. They have not been selected for U22 before and have no acquaintances in this team.
I don't know if they knew each other before, and it's not very important.
Of course, Hu Lai and the others later found out that Liu Jinge and Li Chengwu were roommates, so no wonder they would have dinner together.
Wang Guangwei was engrossed in eating when someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder, startling him.
When I looked back, my eyes lit up: "Xie Zhipeng!"
The player named Xie Zhipeng laughed: "Wang Guangwei, I thought you didn't recognize me!"
"How is that possible?" Wang Guangwei was very happy, and then introduced to everyone at the table: "This is my former teammate in the Flash Star Youth Team, and later he went to Tongqi Eagles."
Xie Zhipeng also raised his hand to greet everyone: "Hello everyone, I am Xie Zhipeng, a defender on the court."
Wang Zijian waved to him quickly: "Come sit down, have you eaten?"
Xie Zhipeng waved his hand: "No, I've eaten."
Then he turned to Hu Lai next to Wang Guangwei and asked his former youth team teammate: "Is this Hu Lai?"
Hu Lai nodded and introduced himself: "Hello, I am Hu Lai."
"Oh, I hear your name a lot!" Xie Zhipeng said loudly.
Hu Lai was surprised: "Ah? Have you heard of it too?"
Xie Zhipeng smiled: "As you said, how many Chinese League One teams have never heard of your name? Eleven goals in a single season!"
"It's not a single season, it's eleven goals in half a season." Someone stood up from the side and corrected Xie Zhipeng's statement.
Everyone looked over and saw another unfamiliar face.
The visitor smiled and greeted everyone: "Hello everyone, my name is Du Wanqing, a defensive midfielder. I play football in Xiaojiang Green Forest. It is also my first time to participate in the U22 training team."
Wang Zijian waved to him again: "Have you eaten? Come and eat together..."
Du Wanqing shook his head: "Thank you, but I had eaten and saw Hu Lai here, so I came to say hello to him."
Then he looked at Hu Lai: "We also played against each other in the league!"
Hu Lai stared at the opponent for a few seconds, and then suddenly realized: "You are Lulin's midfielder!"
In fact, he couldn't remember it at all, but since the other party said it was a defensive midfielder, it shouldn't be a problem for him to say so, right?
Seeing that Hu Lai still remembered him, the other party nodded happily: "Yes, yes, it's me! You scored a goal in that game..."
Then I chatted with Hu Lai about the game.
He was really the Xiao Jiang and Lulin midfielder who played in that game.
In his narration, Hu Lai also vaguely remembered that there was such a person in the opponent's formation...
Du Wanqing had a loud voice and while chatting, he attracted three more players, all of whom played in the Chinese League One team.
They also came here because they heard Hu Lai eating at this table.
When they arrived, they greeted Hu Lai first and then introduced themselves. Someone came directly with a meal and a plate, so everyone asked him to sit down and eat.
Although Hu Lai's confused expression was very obvious, they didn't care at all and just said things like "We played in the league" and "I watched your game".
Wang Zijian watched this scene at the same table, and his heart was extremely shocked.
To be honest, he is indeed an enthusiastic person, but when he enthusiastically helped Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei at the entrance of the training base, he also had his own thoughts. He felt that these two newcomers must know nothing about the situation in the team.
I know, I don’t have many friends or acquaintances. If I don’t help them, they might not be able to integrate into the team for a long time.
He is indeed enthusiastic and wants to help Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei, but he does have a sense of superiority.
I feel that I am a veteran member of the U22 team. Many people in this team have played with them from national teams of various age groups. In terms of connections in this team, I can be considered a good player in front of Hu Lai.
A veteran player.
Sports are all about seniority, so he is considered the eldest brother of Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei. Isn't it not qualified for him to be the leader of Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei?
But today, at dinner, he saw Hu Lai, a guy who had only been with the team for half a day, just sitting here eating, and people came up to say hello to him one after another.
It seems like he is the boss of this team...
Finally, their table was so full that there was not enough space for ten people to sit, so someone had to stand.
Everyone came to say hello to Hu Lai, so his role as "leader" seemed dispensable.
In fact, as a player who often participates in national teams of all ages, the new teammates all know Hu Lai, but they don't know him...
※※※
There were more than a dozen people surrounding the table where Hu Lai and the others were sitting, chatting loudly, and the movement was extraordinary, which naturally attracted the attention of other people in the restaurant.
Even the players of the women's national football team on the other side of the restaurant noticed the movement here.
"What are those people doing?" Xu Wen looked over.
When she came to the national team for training for the first time, she was like a curious baby, interested in everything.
"It seems that you are going to chat with a player?" Someone with sharp ears heard a few words coming from the other side. "I heard them mentioning a name repeatedly..."
"Who is it?" Not only Xu Wen, but other female football players were also curious about what happened.
"It seems to be called... Hu Lai?"
Li Qingqing, who was immersed in eating, stopped for a moment, but soon she continued eating, seemingly not interested in the topic they were discussing.
Just my ears perked up quietly.
"What's this name?"
"Hu Lai? Ha!"
"Is there anything special about this person besides his name? Why are so many people surrounding him? Is he famous?"
"No...it seems to be the first time he was selected. He was said to be a forward. It should be because Guan Xinyan didn't come, so he was recruited."
Obviously, some people in the women's national football team are also paying attention to the men's football team. Indeed, in terms of performance, the women's football team has completely surpassed the men's football team, but in terms of influence, the women's football team has to be defeated - although the influence of the women's football team in this time and space has been
It's better than that time and space, but there's still a big gap between it and men's football.
If it weren't for Li Qingqing, the gap might be even bigger...
"That's right, that handsome guy Guan Xinyan didn't come to the training camp this time. Why didn't he come?"
"Qingqing, do you know why Guan Xinyan didn't come to this training camp?" Everyone at the table turned their attention to Li Qingqing.
Li Qingqing raised her head in confusion - besides her, there were Xu Wen and Shi Yuehua at this table, both of whom were members of the Shanhai Blue Moon Club. Why did everyone have to ask themselves?
"Ah? I don't know..." Li Qingqing shook her head in confusion.
"Aren't you and him in the same club?"
"The women's football team and the men's football team are not in the same training base. You can't see them at all. To be honest, they are no different from two completely different clubs. We, the women's football team, don't know much about their men's football team." Xu Wen was standing next to her.
Answered for Li Qingqing.
Shi Yuehua said from the side: "I think the Shanhai media said it seems that because of Guan Xinyan's strength, there is no need to use the East Asian Cup to prove anything. The Olympic team hopes that he can take advantage of this year's opportunity to play in the club
Play well, accumulate experience, improve confidence, and then wait until next year's U23 Asian Cup to help the Chinese Olympic team qualify for the Olympics."
Shi Yuehua is the captain of the Shanhailanyue women's football team. She definitely knows more information than the average young player and thinks more, so she can give an answer to this question.
"So that's it...it means that Hu Lai is Guan Xinyan's spare tire?"
It has to be said that although Hu Lai performed well in the Chinese League One last season, it was a Chinese League One that did not even have national broadcasts, so its influence was still limited. Unless they were people who specifically paid attention to the Chinese League One, many people
In fact, I didn't know that there was such a big figure in Chinese football as Hu Lai.
Women's football players are even less familiar with the situation in the Chinese Football League, because women's football only has the Chinese Super League and no lower-level leagues.
With the commercial value and influence of women's football, it cannot support a multi-level league.
When Li Qingqing heard a teammate say that Hu Lai was Guan Xinyan's backup, the smile on his face froze.
But she didn't speak out to refute her teammates, she just lowered her head and continued eating and scrolling through her phone.
※※※
Also paying attention to Hu Lai's table were other U22 players.
A total of thirty-five people came to the training team this time. Except for ten Chinese League One players, the remaining twenty-five were all players from Chinese Super League teams.
The vast majority of them are players who have been selected to the U22 and previous national teams of various age groups many times. Only three of the twenty-five players have entered the training team list for the first time.
Based on their relationship with each other, the Chinese Super League players would naturally gather together. Except for the two guys Wang Zijian and Song Kun, the rest were divided into two tables and sat together. While eating, they looked at the one near the door.
table.
"Who are they looking for?" someone asked curiously.
"It should be Hu Lai. They are all from China League One, so they need to be familiar with them."
"All the people in the top ten went to Hu Lai? I saw him sitting there eating, and a group of people went to see him one by one, acting like a gangster boss... Why should others go to him instead of him to others? He
Not a newcomer?"
"Ahem, don't you know? He is the youngest in our training team this time. He was selected into the U22 when he was only nineteen years old. Logically speaking, he should go to the U20 at his age...and that's not all. You know him.
Why can you be selected for U22 at such a young age?"
Apparently some of the Chinese Super League players knew Hu Lai, and he was introducing it to other teammates who didn't know him well.
"He scored 11 goals in the Chinese League One last season."
"Eleven balls? Oh, that's really impressive..."
"More than that! To be precise, his eleven goals were not scored in one season, but in half a season. He left Poseidon Youth Team for Flash Stars halfway through last season."
"Speaking of Poseidon...Liu Yan, aren't you from the Poseidon Youth Team? How much do you know about him?"
Everyone turned their attention to a player with a Chinese character. He is the central defender of U22 and is currently playing in the Poseidon first team. Last season, he played a total of ten times for Poseidon in the Chinese Super League, six of which were substitute appearances and four starts.
He also has a record of two starts in the FA Cup. As a central defender, with such a record of appearances, it can be seen that Poseidon Club is preparing to focus on cultivating him.
Liu Yan shook his head: "I don't know much about him. When he came to the Poseidon Youth Team, I had already left the youth team to go to the reserve team. I knew that Director Zhao was very optimistic about him. Director Zhao signed him to the middle school team in the first place.
, some people have always said that the relationship between the two of them is like father and son. In fact, it was just a joke at the beginning. But later after Director Zhao went to Flash Star, he really hired him to Flash Star..."
"Then what's special about him in the Poseidon Youth Team?"
Liu Yan frowned and thought for a long time, then shook his head and said: "There is nothing special. He didn't play many games, and his performance was not very outstanding...at least I didn't hear his name in the reserve team. If the performance
It's good, we always hear something about him in the reserves."
"So he is just an ordinary player? Then how could such a person go to the Stars, enter the first team, and immediately break out? Eleven goals in half a season! How could such a performance be so casual?
Can it be kicked out?" Someone asked, and was echoed by others.
After all, judging from Hu Lai's performance in the Chinese League One and his performance in the youth team, it is obvious that he should be a dazzling talented player.
As a result, Liu Yan actually said that he was mediocre in the Poseidon youth team?
Could it be that he went to Team Flash to cheat?
"Oh, I suddenly remembered something." Liu Yan said, "As everyone knows about our Poseidon youth training, Director Zhao has always been in charge. Last year, Director Zhao resigned, and a new youth training director came, named
Sun's. Manager Sun seems to dislike Hu Lai very much. It is said that just two days after arriving, he persuaded him not to continue playing at the training ground, saying that there are no forwards like him who can do anything but shoot.
A place... not long after he said that, Hu Lai seemed to have signed with Flash Star."
This was gossip that no one knew about before. Someone immediately laughed: "Ha! I wonder if your manager Sun regrets it now?"
Liu Yan shook his head: "I don't know about that. Manager Sun is in charge of the youth training base. I have been to the first team and I have never been in contact with it."
"What is there to regret about this? In fact, there is nothing wrong with what Director Sun said. Nowadays, football's requirements for forwards are getting higher and higher, and they are becoming more and more comprehensive. Even the requirements for scoring goals have not yet reached the requirements for defense, passing and running.
The requirements for positioning are high." Someone stood up and said, "As a forward, you don't have to score goals, but you can't assist and run. His evaluation of Hu Lai is right, but who would have thought that Hu Lai would go to the dodge
Xing just cheated?"
"Well, there is a reason why Hu Lai performed well in Flash Star. Qin Lin transferred to Flash Star together with him. Everyone knows Brother Lin's level. With Brother Lin sorting out the midfield, my grandma is in front.
They can all score goals!”
"Xiao Xiao, what are you talking about? If you have the ability, would you really let your grandma go up and kick me?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Exaggeration, exaggeration!" the player called Xiao Xiao quickly defended. "Do you understand the rhetorical technique?"
"Xiao Xiao, is it because of Hu Lai that your team's Guan Xinyan didn't come?" someone half-joked.
Xiao Xiao waved his hands like a cattail leaf fan: "That's not the case! Xinyan is because the club wants to focus on training him. He may play more league games in the new season than last season. If he comes to participate in the East Asian Cup, he will miss at least the first two games.
I didn’t come here because I couldn’t leave in the first round of the league... Let me put it in a harsh way, Hu Lai is really good, but no matter how good he is, he is only a striker at the Chinese League One level. So what if he scored 11 goals in the Chinese League One? Xinyan is
Six goals in the Chinese Super League! Everyone, is it more difficult to score goals in the Chinese Super League or in the Chinese Premier League?"
Xiao Xiao was right, what he said was indeed unpleasant, but even if someone admired Hu Lai, they could not refute his last rhetorical question.
Yes, is it more difficult to score goals in the Chinese League One, or is it more difficult to score goals in the Chinese Super League?
Do you still need to ask? This is simply a question for free!
Before the salary limit order, the Chinese Super League was known as the sixth largest league in the world.
Guan Xinyan was able to score six goals in such a league. He was an absolute leader among his peers and everyone was convinced.
"Then according to what you mean, Xiao Xiao, it should be the other way around - Hu Lai was able to join the training team because Guan Xinyan didn't come."
Xiao Xiao slapped his thigh: "That's what it means!"
"I think even if Guan Xinyan comes, Hu Lai can be selected to participate in the training camp." When the player who introduced Hu Lai to everyone at the beginning saw Xiao Xiao saying this, he frowned and expressed his objection, "Even if he enters the Chinese League One
The ball is easier than the Chinese Super League. Who can score 11 goals in only 15 games at the age of 19? Oh, I’m sorry, I’m not 19 yet - Hu Lai was born on September 9th.
He achieved this result at the age of eighteen - you must know that before he left, Flash Star scored 16 goals in half a season. After he left, Flash Star scored 23 goals in half a season.
Scored 11 goals. Who can achieve this data?"
He asked and everyone at the table was speechless.
Xiao Xiao was a little embarrassed: "Gao Ruimin, how come you know that boy so well?"
Gao Ruimin snorted: "I didn't understand him at first, but then I saw the goal he scored with Brother Huan, so I got to know him."
Someone next to me laughed out loud: "Yes, you are Zhang Qinghuan's fanboy."
Gao Ruimin raised his head and said: "It's a pity that the club has already reached a lease-to-own agreement with Flash Star, otherwise I would have the opportunity to play with Brother Huan in the new season. You don't know, at that time I saw Brother Huan playing against Nanhai
That goal that assisted Hu Lai, how exciting it was... That's Brother Huan in my heart! The strongest genius in the country!"
Now why are you bragging about Guan Xinyan here... Our brother Huan is just one year older and will not be able to be selected for the Olympic team. Otherwise, how could this "strongest man under twenty-three" get that guy Guan Xinyan?
Brother Huan was recognized by everyone as the strongest genius at that time, and he was much more awesome than Guan Xinyan!
Xiao Xiao, you are a guy who has never seen the world. The National Olympic team is nothing. Back then our brother Huan was directly selected for the national team!
Of course, he just complained about these words in his heart and did not say them out. After all, if he said them, he would directly slap Xiao Xiao in the face. They were teammates, and it was not good to have internal strife. What if the head coach Shi Guidance found out about it?
He eats the good fruit.
Everyone is discussing the newcomer Hu Lai. Some people are optimistic about him, while others think he is just there to go through the motions.
There was only one person who quietly listened to the discussion of his teammates without saying a word. He only occasionally cast his gaze at the table where the Chinese League One players gathered.
He is obviously a newcomer who has just joined the team, so why is everyone talking about him and paying attention to him?
It makes him look like he is an acquaintance of this team and the number one star...
"Guo Junfu, what do you think?" Someone touched the man who was deep in thought.
Suddenly everyone at the table turned to look at him, as if they valued his opinion.
"What do I think? I'm not Yuan Fang." Guo Junfu spread his hands, "I don't know him as well as Gao Ruimin. I haven't seen him play or played with him. What can I say? What do I think?
I don’t have any opinions.”
Liu Yan nodded in agreement: "Guo Junfu is right. Many of us have never played football with him and don't know him at all. So don't talk about people behind their backs here. It's not good for others to hear."
Seeing that the two big guys in the team had spoken, the others also looked back and lowered their heads. It was time to eat and it was time to check their mobile phones.
Gao Ruimin, on the other hand, stacked the finished dishes, bowls and chopsticks together, picked them up and put them in the tableware recycling area, then turned and walked straight towards the table where Hu Lai was - he also went to say hello to Hu Lai.
"Hey, kid Gao Ruimin...be a little more reserved!"
"That's right, whatever you say is from the Chinese Super League..."
"Actually, I'm also quite curious about Hu Lai. Doesn't it mean that we don't understand him? How can we understand him without contact?"
Everyone started talking again.
Guo Junfu also looked at Gao Ruimin's back, watching him walk up to the group of people, saying something, and then squeezed in, chatting with Hu Lai with a smile on his face.
Hu Lai sat and he stood.
That scene...
I originally thought it was just an ordinary U22 training camp. Even if Director Shi recruited a few new people, it was nothing special, just an ordinary thing.
Who would have thought that a new person being recruited would be like a stone being thrown into a pond with stagnant water and gentle waves.
