"Coach Wang, Hu Lai accused you in an interview after the game of deliberately kicking his father Hu Lixin while playing football in Baishan Tianchi. Is this true?"
When Wang Xianke heard the question from the reporter who was randomly named, he was stunned.
The reporters who were observing him in the audience also saw his reaction in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts.
He was dazed, not confused.
It shows that this is really the case!
Big news! Big news! Definitely big news!
Many reporters' hearts instantly reached climax.
While the reporters were having an emotional climax, Wang Xianke's brain also sounded the alarm.
I guessed it!
Hu Lai, that little bastard!
Oh shit!
How dare he say this in an interview after the game!
This madman!
At this time, Wang Xianke had forgotten that Hu Lai had done this once before...
But this is not the point. The point is that now the reporter comes to the door with this question, what should he do?
Continue to be so stunned?
What impression will that leave in the minds of reporters?
Shake your head in denial?
Of course not.
Wang Xianke was extremely grateful at this time that he had made plans for this possible situation.
So he quickly came back to his senses, looked at the reporter who asked the question, frowned, and his expression became a little painful, as if he was recalling the past that he couldn't bear to look back on.
He noticed that some reporters had already pressed the shutter, which meant that his expression would be captured in the photo.
After doing all this, he replied in a low tone: "I am very ashamed... Yes, Hu Lixin and I were indeed teammates of Baishan Tianchi. We were both reserve team players at the time... During a training session, I was a little anxious.
, I accidentally shoveled him... I have never told the outside world about this matter. Although it was an accident, I have always felt guilty and felt that I was the culprit that caused him to retire early. I don't know what to do.
How to face all this, so... I'm sorry, and I also understand how angry Hu Lai, as Hu Lixin's son, was after knowing this matter. No matter how he looks at me, I can understand it, and I won't expect anything from myself
I have been forgiven, but I still have to say to him: I’m sorry!”
Having said this, Wang Xianke simply stood up from his seat and bowed to the audience gathered with cameras!
※※※
"Holy shit, what's going on!" Han Xiangfei, a Shining Star player who had just boarded the bus, exclaimed as he stared at the photo of Wang Xianke bowing to the camera on his phone, and then read the text out loud: "Golden Arrow coach Wang Xianke admitted that he once
I accidentally kicked and injured Hu Lai's father during training..."
He turned around and stared at Hu Lai, who was sitting three rows behind him, with wide eyes.
This sound also alarmed all the Star players in the car.
They were celebrating their championship just now, and no one knew what Hu Lai said to the media cameras during the interview.
So now when they suddenly heard Han Xiangfei say this, everyone was confused.
"What? What's going on?"
"What the hell?!"
"Wang Xianke kicked and injured Hu Lai's father?!"
Everyone turned their attention to Hu Lai. Even Wan Guangwei, who was sitting next to Hu Lai, turned to look at his roommate - he had never heard of such a thing.
Qin Lin stood up from his seat, looked in the direction of Hu Lai and asked loudly: "What's going on, Hu Lai?"
Even the coaching staff, Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo, who were sitting at the front, stood up from their seats and looked back.
Under everyone's collective gaze, Hu Lai raised his hand and stood up from his seat and said: "It's nothing, it's just that my dad used to be teammates with Wang Xianke in the Baishan Tianchi reserve team, and then in order to compete for a place in the first team, Wang Xianke was training
He deliberately kicked my dad's knee into pieces..."
Hu Lai briefly told his teammates what he heard about the incident when he had an argument with his father when he decided to play professional football.
He said it very simply, but everyone who heard it was shocked.
Zhao Kangming walked directly to him and asked him very seriously: "Do you have any evidence for saying this, Hu Lai?"
Hu Lai spread his hands: "This happened almost thirty years ago, what evidence can we have? Everyone said it was accidental, a training accident - this excuse was used once by Wang Xianke."
"Yes, all kinds of accidents will happen in training... Let alone training, even in games, it is normal for serious injuries to occur. So you just accuse a person with a high status in Chinese football
A championship coach, aren't you afraid of causing trouble for yourself?" Zhao Kangming's expression was solemn.
"Director Zhao, that's my dad." Hu Lai looked at Zhao Kangming and said with a smile, "My dad has been wronged. As a son, I am collecting debts for him. Would I consider such a thing?"
"Well said!" Wang Guangwei stood up next to Hu Lai and stood side by side with Hu Lai to show that he and Hu Lai were definitely on the same front.
"I asked why your dad is so against you playing football. It turns out that he suffered such a serious injury in football..." Zhang Qinghuan naturally heard Hu Lai's stories about him and knew that Hu Lai's father once strongly opposed him playing football.
, so he finally borrowed money to run away and went to Poseidon Club to receive professional football training.
Then he patted Hu Lai on the shoulder: "I believe what you said, Hu Lai."
"I..." Chen Xingyi had just recovered from the shock. He never thought that the head coach of his future team would be the culprit who caused Hu Lai's father such misery. He was also the one in the Flash Star team.
Now he was in the most embarrassing situation. But he still got up from his seat, "I don't know if that's true, but I also believe in Hu Lai. Although he is usually very unreliable, he never lies on such important matters.
"
"I believe in Hu Lai too!" Han Xiangfei raised his hand.
"Me too!" Some teammates raised their hands.
More and more people raised their arms.
"I believe in Hu Lai!" "Me too!" Such voices echoed one after another in the carriage.
Chen Mo couldn't help it anymore, he shouted: "What are you doing, what are you doing?! What are you doing?"
The team members didn't speak, just looked at him and Zhao Kangming beside him.
Chen Mo stared at them: "What are you doing? Are you afraid that we will blame Hu Lai? Let me tell you..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhao Kangming tapping his shoulder: "Okay, Lao Chen."
Then Zhao Kangming looked into Hu Lai's eyes, and Hu Lai looked at him.
"I don't know if this is true, Hu Lai. You said there is no evidence. If someone asks you to provide evidence, I think you will be very passive. After all, with Wang Xianke's reputation in domestic football,
Influence and connections... the odds are stacked against you."
"I don't care, Director Zhao." Hu Lai said with a smile. "I thought about it before doing this. Compared with Wang Xianke, I am a man of few words. But I can't stop talking just because of this. My dad buried this matter.
In my heart, for almost thirty years, even my mother never knew... He may have also considered the huge gap between the two people's status, so he chose to keep it secret. But I don't care about that. Now that I know, I
I have to bring this matter out. As for what other people say about me, that’s up to them. Anyway, if you keep it to yourself, I’ll be unhappy here.”
He patted his heart.
Zhao Kangming shook his head, and then sighed: "You boy... I will communicate with the club, but now I don't know what attitude the club will take on this matter. If there is any pressure, whether the club can withstand it
It’s hard to say…”
Hu Lai nodded quickly: "I know, I know, I understand, Director Zhao..."
"Listen to me!" Zhao Kangming interrupted him again, "The club is the club and the team is the team. I will give you a promise, Hu Lai. As the head coach of the Flashing Star Football Team, I will protect myself.
It is my responsibility to be your player. No matter what the outside world says or what pressure there is, I will help you bear it. He, Wang Xianke, has some status in the circle. Don’t I, Zhao Kangming, have the same?"
"Zhao guides you..." Hu Lai was stunned.
"It just so happens that I have some connections." Qin Lin, the last big boss of Chinese football who had been standing next to him, said with a smile.
"Brother Lin..." Hu Lai looked at Qin Lin again.
"No matter what happens, Hu Lai, the team will be your backing. We are a collective." Captain Li Tielin also expressed his support for Hu Lai. "You helped us win this trophy. There is no reason for us to turn a blind eye when you are in trouble.
"
He patted the FA Cup placed on the seat next to him.
※※※
After the game, Hu Lai accused Wang Xianke of being the culprit that caused his father to retire early, and even said that Wang Xianke deliberately killed his father.
This matter quickly became the focus of everyone's attention after the Football Association Cup final.
The attention even exceeds the issue of who will win the FA Cup.
There are various groups on Weibo, Zhihu, and the forum of "Goal". Every place is full of discussions about this matter.
Everyone was shocked by the news at first and couldn't recover for a long time.
Wang Xianke is famous and is known to everyone in Chinese football. He is regarded as one of the best coaches in the Mesozoic era. He has risen quickly and is considered to be the best successor to the position of head coach of the Chinese national team in the future.
He has successively led Shanhai Mariners and Dashun Golden Arrow to win the Chinese Super League championship, and also led Sichuan Red Water to win the Football Association Cup championship. He is currently the person who has won the most championships among local coaches.
He runs the army with an iron fist, has a brilliant record, is on the rise of his career, and has a bright future. Some media believe that he is likely to become the godfather of Chinese football in the future.
As a result, such a person was suddenly accused by young player Hu Lai of having sportsmanship issues.
Everyone knows that Hu Lai was originally unknown, but he rose to fame in the East Asian Cup and became the "anti-Korean hero" who helped Chinese football break the 41-year Korean phobia. He also broke the Chinese League One record this season.
The league's single-season scoring record has also become the player with the most goals in a single season in the history of the FA Cup, and the first player to complete a hat-trick in the FA Cup final.
It can even be said that the Flash Stars were able to reverse the Golden Arrows at home, and Hu Lai took the greatest credit and was the number one contributor.
Without Hu Lai, Shining Star might not have won the FA Cup at all.
Based on his performance this season, everyone is very optimistic that he will be selected for the national team in the future. Naturally, he has a bright future.
Would such a person bite him like a mad dog in order to frame a champion coach in Chinese football?
If it wasn't true, wouldn't he have ruined his reputation?
The Internet immediately started arguing about this matter.
In fact, both Hu Lixin and Zhao Kangming have underestimated Hu Lai's current influence.
Especially after just playing in the FA Cup final, Hu Lai's hat trick and the golden hook in the final, it is no problem to say that his personal influence is at its second climax after the East Asian Cup.
So at least on the Internet, it's not one-sided.
It is normal for some people to support Wang Xianke. After all, Wang Xianke has been famous for many years and has always been a respected figure in Chinese football. Most of those who support Wang Xianke are media reporters and sports influencers.
But in the dispute initiated by Hu Lai, many people chose to support Hu Lai.
Most of them are ordinary fans. In terms of influence, they are not as influential as those media reporters and sports celebrities, but they are better than them because of their large number of people.
Weibo, "Goal" website, Zhihu...there are battlefields everywhere.
During the quarrel, those who supported Hu Lai raised a very powerful rhetorical question: "If Hu Lai really lied, then why did he need to lie? If he lost the FA Cup final, he would throw dirty water on Wang Xianke just to vent his anger.
, then we can all understand it to some extent. But the winner of the FA Cup is clearly him. Wouldn't it be annoying to say so even if he won? Then why did he do this? You keep saying that Hu Lai is lying, who can
Explain to us why he lied?"
This question has troubled many supporters of Wang Xianke.
Yes, why did he lie? What was he trying to do by telling this lie to push himself to the forefront? Is there any benefit to him?
If this question cannot be answered, there is no way to accuse Hu Lai of framed Wang Xianke.
But there are always people who are more flexible and good at making connections. For example, a sports reporter named Uncle Qin put forward this explanation: "Hu Lai didn't lie, but that doesn't mean his father won't lie? I believe his father was indeed training.
He was kicked and injured by Wang Xianke in the middle and retired because of it. We all know that Hu Lixin accomplished nothing after retiring and could only work as a security guard. It can be imagined that the life of a security guard is definitely not much better. Compared with the now successful and famous Wang Xianke, it is naturally
The difference between clouds and mud. Then Hu Lixin was resentful about this, and always believed that it was Wang Xianke who caused him to be injured and retire, which made him end up where he is now. Under the long-term resentment, Hu Lixin, who was unwilling to accept failure, turned to his son
He made up a story that Wang Xianke deliberately injured him, hoping that his son could defeat Wang Xianke in the Football Association Cup final and avenge him... Think about it, Hu Lai is Hu Lixin's son. Of course he believed in his father, so he
Just take the story made up by a loser as the truth..."
Not to mention, the logic of this statement is rigorous and there are no loopholes. It really puts forward a very possible idea from a very tricky angle.
If Hu Lai hadn't gotten the truth from the system, he might have been stunned.
After all, what this sports reporter named Uncle Qin said is really possible. He explained this possible explanation as reasonable. A person who is not willing to fail and is unwilling to accept the fact that he is unlucky can only point the finger of hatred.
Targeting Wang Xianke, a winner in life, the image of a red-eye loser was established by him.
Many supporters of Wang Xianke immediately became more motivated and asked Hu Lai to produce evidence.
“In today’s society governed by law, everything must be based on evidence!”
"You just believe whatever Hu Lai says. What if Hu Lai tells you to eat shit? A bunch of idiot fans!"
"Hu Lai is so lost. He forgot about everything after winning the FA Cup. He doesn't know what his last name is anymore. Haha."
"I think Hu Lai is also a victim... The most abominable person in this matter is actually Hu Lai's father. He is a cunning and cunning villain. In order to satisfy his dark desire for revenge, he did not hesitate to use his own son.
Treat him like a gunman! How can this kind of father keep him alive for the New Year even if he doesn’t cut off the relationship?”
On this basis, an article introducing everyone to accidental injuries during training appeared on major media platforms the next day.
It seems like it's just trying to gain popularity, but it's actually trying to instil this idea into everyone in a subtle way - injuries during training are very common, and even if the injuries are more serious or bizarre, it's not something unbelievable. These injuries are all
Accidents are part of football.
Therefore, Hu Lai's father Hu Lixin was injured in training and retired. Although it was a very unfortunate thing, it had nothing to do with Wang Xianke deliberately injuring him...
Once many people agree with this view, they will naturally think that Hu Lai's accusation is nonsense.
This is a very clever plan to save the country in a curve. It is not directly telling the audience that Wang Xianke is innocent, because that may arouse people's rebellious psychology.
Later, some people followed Uncle Qin's "hypothesis" and continued to create a personality for Hu Lixin, leaning towards the personality of a "loser who is jealous of successful people", saying that he deceived his own son, and some even said that Hu Lixin was just a
Treat your son as a money-making tool...
The words seem to sympathize with Hu Lai and feel that his native family has brought him great pain, but in fact he is just encircling Wei and saving Zhao.

"What a shame...it's simply too much!" Xie Lan's hand holding the phone was shaking.
Today is Monday, but neither she nor her husband goes to work because they both know what is happening outside.
If they go to work, they will definitely become the focus of discussion.
"I told you not to read those posts on the Internet..." Hu Lixin was speechless.
Why did they both take leave today? Isn't it just to avoid being exposed to the outside world?
"It's so boring at home..." Xie Lan put down the phone, took a deep breath, and managed to calm down.
"You know why I didn't say anything, right? Is it useful if I say it?" Hu Lixin spread his hands. "The most important thing is that we have no evidence. Before they came to me, they never told anyone that they wanted to destroy me.
Even if his movements in training were a bit bigger and aroused suspicion, it is useless without evidence..."
Xie Lan sat on the sofa and sulked.
Hu Lixin sat next to her and said nothing, just sitting quietly with her.
"Aren't you angry? Those people on the Internet say this about you?" Xie Lan rolled her eyes at her husband.
"Is it useful to be angry? Besides, talking about it online won't hurt me..."
"Why can't I hurt you? Your image is ruined. How will others see you? What will happen to your work?"
"Didn't you always want me to stop working as a security guard?"
Xie Lan was speechless for a moment when Hu Lixin asked back.
"It's Hu Lai, he's in big trouble..." Hu Lixin sighed, rarely expressing his worries about his son in front of his wife.
"Big trouble? Will that Wang Xianke sue our son? Send our son to jail?" Xie Lan suddenly became nervous.
Hu Lixin thought for a while, then shook his head: "That's not the case. Didn't you see Wang Xianke's statement at the press conference? He put his attitude very low, saying that he didn't care what Hu Lai thought of it, and that he didn't care about it.
He said that he didn't expect to be forgiven. He just had a posture of not fighting back or scolding him. I think it may be because of his behavior that many people in the public opinion support him. But if he wants to sue Hu
Lai, then the image he worked so hard to build will be over... I don’t think Wang Xianke, a calculating person like him, would make such a mistake."
Xie Lan used to listen to her husband calmly analyze football situations for her. Most of the time, the results of her husband's calm analysis were not satisfactory to her, and she felt that he was speaking against her.
But this time, she especially hoped that the results of her husband's analysis were correct.
※※※
The car shared by Hu Lai, Wang Guangwei and Zhang Qinghuan was blocked by a swarm of reporters just after it left the training base.
The car was not going very fast at the time, which gave reporters the opportunity to surround him.
Wang Guangwei was afraid of hitting someone, so he had to stop.
Wang Guangwei looked at the reporters surrounding the car and said nervously: "Hu Lai, please ignore them. If not, we will call the police... Hey, what are you doing?"
As a result, before he could finish his words, he saw Hu Lai opening the car window and exposing himself to the media lenses.
When the reporters saw this, they became excited and threw their microphones and questions one after another. The question they were most concerned about was actually only one, so the only question they asked was:
"Hu Lai, you accused Wang Xianke of kicking and injuring your father... Do you have any evidence?"
Hu Lai shook his head: "I have no evidence."
"This..." Seeing Hu Lai's simple answer, many reporters looked at each other.
Among the reporters, Chen Jianyu was even more anxious. He knew that what Hu Lai said would be detrimental to him...
"Since there is no evidence, then you are making baseless accusations..." Sure enough, some reporters' questions smelled of ignition.
Hu Lai smiled: "Yes, I have no evidence. But as I said yesterday, I know what is going on. I believe Director Wang also knows what is going on. Does he admit it?
It doesn’t matter.”
At this point, he paused. The reporters looked at him quietly. The camera lenses, cell phone lenses and SLR camera lenses were all pointed at him. He knew that every word he said would be recorded, so he continued.
"My dad kept silent because he knew that no one would believe what an ordinary person said. I don't care whether you believe what I said, but I put it here..." He pointed downwards.
"No one else can give me justice. It doesn't matter. I will give it to you. We are going to the Chinese Super League next season. Isn't Coach Wang also in the Chinese Super League? It just so happens that when I meet Coach Wang once, I will fight once, just like yesterday's game
It’s the same as the competition. Coach Wang, you’d better never admit it, otherwise I’d be embarrassed to be cruel!”
Facing countless cameras, Hu Lai smiled particularly sincerely.
