When Chinese reporters saw a figure with black hair and yellow skin like them outside the Leeds City training base, they knew who was coming.
The people with yellow skin and black hair who often appear here know each other, because they are all reporters from Chinese media. There are also Chinese students, but they only come here occasionally, and they do not work every day like reporters like them.
They are squatting here, after all, they still have to go to school. And Hu Lai has been playing football here for almost a year. Even if the international students come occasionally, they can almost get Hu Lai's autograph and take a photo. There is no need to look like
This is how reporters come here to clock in and go to work every day.
If there is an unfamiliar face that doesn’t look young, it must be a Korean reporter.
In the past, Korean reporters basically stayed in London because Park Soon-tae played football at London Bridge.
The last time they came to Leeds City was because they won the League Cup at London Bridge, and Korean reporters came here to show off.
This is because Hu Lai scored five goals in three rounds of the Premier League, which aroused the patriotic enthusiasm of Chinese fans on the Internet. They compared Hu Lai and Park Soon-tae together and believed that Hu Lai was the real "Light of Asia".
”.
This also caused a quarrel between Chinese and Korean fans on the Internet.
At the time, Korean reporters were extremely upset, but there was nothing they could do about it, because Hu Lai's performance was indeed better than Park Soon-tae's.
This is everyone’s first season in the Premier League. Park Soon-tae only scored three goals after playing half of the game.
Hulai scored five goals in just three games.
This is a judgment call.
No matter how unhappy the Korean reporters are, they can’t find fault in this matter.
Fortunately, London Bridge, where Park Soon Tae played, won the League Cup. This made the Korean reporters feel elated. They couldn't wait to go to Leeds, which is more than 300 kilometers away from London, to interview Hu Lai, just to express their feelings to Hu Lai and those people.
Chinese reporters showed off that South Korea’s Park Soon-tae won the League Cup and was the real “Light of Asia”!
Park Soon-tae has indeed had no shortage of championships since he started playing in Europe. He is the Asian player who has won the most championships while playing in Europe in history.
This includes two Spanish Copa del Rey titles, a Europa League title, a Spanish Super Cup title, and an English League Cup title.
The most important thing here is the Europa League championship.
It is precisely because of this championship that Park Soon-tae is recognized as the most representative star in Asia and has also won the reputation of "Light of Asia".
Compared with Park Soon-tae, who has won five championships at the age of 30, the 22-year-old Hu Lai is the younger brother among younger brothers.
But young people are formidable. With Hu Lai's current momentum, it is estimated that it is only a matter of time before he surpasses Park Soon-tae.
Of course there is also a bit of luck involved.
However, Korean reporters all believe that even if Hu Lai surpasses Park Soon-tae in the future, it will be because Park Soon-tae is older and his condition has naturally declined. Now that Park Soon-tae is at his peak, if he wants him to give up the title of "Light of Asia", that is absolutely impossible.
impossible.
Leaving aside whether Park Suntae himself would agree or not, South Korean reporters and fans would not agree first.
Now that these reporters have come to interview Hu Lai, their reasons are more valid than the last time they came to Leeds to interview Hu Lai. After all, Park Soon Tae will meet Hu Lai in the next round of the league. So let’s ask Hu Lai about Park Soon Tae, a senior.
It is natural to have any opinions.
Chinese reporters have no way to say that their Korean colleagues cannot interview Hu Lai.
But they all know the little Jiujiu in Korean people's hearts, so they all say unpleasant sarcastic remarks around them.
“Mr. Hu Lai, what do you personally think of the next game against London Bridge?”
It seems that these Korean reporters have some intelligence and did not ask such stupid questions as "Park Suntae scored a goal in the last game, do you feel pressure?"
“I haven’t watched it much. Every game is a very important game for us. As a relegation team, our goal is to win every point.”
Korean reporters couldn’t help but grin when they heard Hu Lai’s words. Brother, you are now third in the league! What level can you maintain?
As if reading the thoughts of the Korean reporters from the expressions on their faces, Hu Lai said sternly: "Although we are currently ranked third in the league, the league is very long. We can't even make a fraction of the thirty-eight rounds of the league.
We have not finished the game, so the current ranking does not guarantee that we can successfully avoid relegation. London Bridge is a strong team, and although we are at home, it cannot erase the strength gap between our two teams..."
At this moment, Hu Lai thought of Coach Zhao and suddenly realized that when he desperately emphasized in front of the media that the Flash Stars' goal for the season was to avoid relegation, it was definitely not a good intention to win the championship.
The season is so long that nothing is unexpected.
It’s better to be low-key and cautious!
To the ears of those Korean reporters, Hu Lai's words sounded like he was deliberately showing off...
You cannot be said to be relegated if you are third in the league. Is it possible that London Bridge, which is ranked sixth in the league, also has to fight to avoid relegation?
They suddenly felt that Hu Lai was a slippery kid who was talking all the time but didn't say a word of truth.
One reporter simply went straight to the point: "You and Park Soon-tae both scored goals in the league. You two are also the only Asian players currently playing in the Premier League. What do you think of Park Soon-tae, who is your senior?"
When the Chinese reporters outside heard this question, their expressions changed, and they all cursed Bangzi in their hearts for being shameless.
On the one hand, he was trying to bully our Hu Lai, and on the other hand, he was forcibly promoting Park Soon Tae in front of Hu Lai. Although what he said was all true, it made people feel uncomfortable.
That's right, Hu Lai and Park Soon Tae both scored goals in the last game, but Hu Lai scored two goals and your Park Soon Tae scored one goal.
That's right, Park Soon-tae can indeed be regarded as Hu-rae's senior... But we in China are not as strict as you in Korea about respecting elders and juniors. You specifically pointed out that Park Soon-tae is Hu-rae's senior. What do you want to explain?
Hu Lai, should you be polite when you meet Park Soon-tae, or do you mean to show that you are older than us?
The Chinese reporter was feeling unhappy, but the expression on Hu Lai's face in front of the camera did not change at all. He still responded with a smile: "We both represent Asia, so no matter who wins, it will be a victory for Asian football."
. Regarding Brother Park, I only found out after the national team game that he had not recovered at that time. So I was very happy to see him score in the last game, because it meant that his injury had healed. I feel for him.
feel happy."
After understanding Hu Lai’s neither humble nor condescending answer, the Chinese reporters who were listening outside couldn’t help but give Hu Lai a thumbs up on the spot.
The Korean reporter was obsessed with ranking the only two Asian players in the Premier League. But Hu Lai said that no matter who wins, it will be a victory for Asian football. Look at this pattern, it is really
Make a decision!
“Well said, this is the glory of Asian football!” a Chinese reporter shouted loudly like a boo.
This is intentional to shame those Korean reporters...
※※※
The same incident was reported in two directions by reporters from China and South Korea.
Chinese media reported that Hu Lai responded in a neither humble nor overbearing manner when faced with difficulties from Korean reporters, and received numerous praises.
In the eyes of the Korean media, this incident has a different interpretation:
What do you mean by "all the glory of Asia?" The glory of Asia is clearly only ours Park Soon-tae! Hu Lai shamelessly sticks to it, right?
So Chinese fans think Hu Lai is mature and decent, while Korean fans think Hu Lai is shameless.
The people of the two countries took this opportunity to carry out various in-depth exchanges, including extending cordial greetings to each other's families, rushing to adopt orphans from each other's countries, and expressing condolences to each other's disabled people...

“Oh my, what a peaceful time!”
Yong Jun glanced at Hu Lai, who was sitting on the sofa checking his mobile phone after dinner: "You are the only one who is not qualified to say this. What a mess the Internet has made for you and Park Chung Tai..."
Hu Lai waved his hand: "The more times like this, the more you need to be calm, Uncle Yong. Regardless of whether the winds blow from east to west, from north to south, I will remain unmoved."
Yong Jun nodded: "That's you. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they would have been frightened to death."
“Uncle Yong, do you want to say that I am thick-skinned?” Hu Lai is very self-aware.
Yong Jun laughed and waved his hands quickly: "No, no, you are overthinking, Hu Lai. This is your advantage, you have a big heart!"
"Uncle Yong, please don't say the word "dirty" next time. I will believe you." Hu Lai adjusted his posture, "It's not like you have a big heart. Aren't you going to have this kind of pressure during the whole game? Aren't all professional players?
Yeah, it's the same kind of pressure every week... so I don't think it's a big deal."
"That's because you didn't see much of the Koreans who came to scold you this time. They came to your account to scold you, but they were all reported by the company's team responsible for your account. That's why you think the years are quiet.
"
“Report it? Why bother? Can’t we just block him?” Hu Lai’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Blocking people shows that you are petty.”
“Isn’t it enough to report it?”
“Reporting is done in accordance with the rules and is an exercise of the compliance rights granted to you by the platform. It is a reasonable use of the platform rules.”
"Platform rules?" Hu Lai curled his lips and shook his head. He was not very interested in this word. "I have my own solution."
"In what way?"
“If you win the duel with Park Soon-tae, won’t those voices disappear?”
“You think too well, Hu Lai. What you are provoking is a group of mad dogs. No matter you win or lose, you will be targeted by them.”
Hu Lai smiled when he heard this: "It just so happened that when I was a child, I learned the 72-step method of beating a dog with a stick from an old man in my hometown. Let's beat him one at a time."
Yong Jun was stunned for a moment when he heard what Hu Lai said, and then he laughed: "That's right, you are good at this..."
He thought of someone who had now been reduced to coaching a lower league team.
Hu Lai really used the "hit once every time" move to beat him to the ground and couldn't turn over...
Seeing that Uncle Yong agreed with his opinion, Hu Lai stopped discussing the topic and stretched out comfortably on the sofa.

David Miller looked around at the faces around the table with a serious expression. Under his close gaze, the owners of those faces lowered their heads or lowered their eyelids, not daring to look directly at David Miller.
“It’s been almost a week, and you still don’t have any good ideas about songs for Hu?” Miller asked.
No one answered him.
Miller asked unhappily: "It's just a song, is it so difficult?"
Levin muttered in a low voice: "We came up with so many songs, but you rejected them all, David..."
"Nonsense! Those songs are too simple, and they sound very perfunctory as soon as you listen to them! A tune like 'Hule Hule Hule Hule' can be used by any other player!" What David Miller sang was "
OLE, OLEOLEOLE" tune.
“But aren’t all our cheering songs that simple?” Levin spread his hands, feeling aggrieved.
"Hu is different! When we sing this song, we need to let everyone know that this song is for Hu, and it will not be misunderstood or misheard!" David Miller emphasized.

“That’s difficult...” Levin muttered and said nothing.
The bar fell into silence again.
The bar owner, Leo White, the first generation of the "White Rose", stood behind the bar, wiping the glass with a soft cloth while quietly watching the members of the "White Rose" sitting around the table scratching their heads.
, with a slight smile on his face.
Golden sunlight shines in from the glass window, and there are fine dust floating in the sunlight. It is another quiet and beautiful afternoon.
