The locker room door located under the stands of Dongchuan Middle School Stadium was opened, and the players who had changed into training clothes filed out of it.
They passed the large photos of Luo Kai and Xia Xiaoyu one after another.
But they did not stop, but continued to run towards the stadium. It was not until they passed the photos of Hu Lai and Li Qingqing that someone turned to look at them, and then started talking: "The ones in that MV should be Hu Lai and Li Qingqing when they were children."
Have you experienced it?"
"Li Qingqing doesn't know, but Hu Lai must be...I heard that when he was a freshman in high school, he was ostracized because he couldn't play football..."
“I really want to interview the people who excluded Hu Lai and hear what they think now...”
“Hahaha! I think so too! It is said that someone actually went to our school’s forum to ask, but no one at the time came out to reply..."
While talking, everyone came to the center of the court one after another, preparing to start training this afternoon.
In order to prepare for the next national competition, they will train for ninety minutes every afternoon, which is about two classes.
“Hey, have you seen the behind-the-scenes of the promotional video? Hu Lai and Li Qingqing feel they have a really good relationship...”
“They have known each other for many years. Li Qingqing also taught Hu Lai to play football. Their relationship is very normal?”
“No, I think the relationship between the two of them is not generally good...Do you think there is...that kind of relationship between the two of them?”
“What kind of relationship?” someone asked.
“What kind of relationship are you talking about? Hmm?”
"Hahaha!"
There was a burst of laughter among the young people.
Li Ziqiang, who had just come out of the office, heard the last few sentences of the conversation.
He felt the veins on his temples throbbing.
So he shouted with a loud voice: "We lost to Jiaxiang High School in the Anton Cup final. Are you quite happy?"
The student players who were laughing happily suddenly fell silent.
But at the same time, there are all little question marks in my mind. I don’t quite understand why Coach Li suddenly mentioned the Anton Cup final again. After all, it was all about last semester...
"Don't think that it doesn't matter if you lose the game after a long time. Let me tell you, if you have this mentality, you will only keep losing in the future and you will not be able to hold your head high in front of Jiaxiang High School!" Li Ziqiang!
He walked up to them with a very serious expression and even scolded them in a somewhat frightening manner.
“If it weren’t for the reform of the national competition this year, you wouldn’t even be qualified to participate in the national competition! Are you still here to care about gossip? Everyone is training twice as much today!”
After speaking, Li Ziqiang blew the whistle, and the players hurriedly ran to warm up without any hesitation.
After all, this is a famous coach who has brought out four international players by himself. How can the young players dare to disobey what he says?
Watching the players begin to warm up under the leadership of the captain and vice-captain, Li Ziqiang then began to lay out the things he would use in training.
Place the rope ladder on the ground, put the sign plate upside down, and then carry the cone bucket...
He did this work alone, while the students were warming up.

Sun Yonggang received a new task assigned by his boss a week ago.
He rediscovered the documentary he directed about Shuguang High School's participation in the national competition, as well as all the video materials related to Hu Lai that he had previously interviewed and reported on the national competition, and then edited a documentary from it that was usually no less than 20 minutes long.
Documentary about Hulay and the national competition.
Through this documentary, we review the fate between Hu Lai and the national competition, and introduce to the audience in an all-round way how Hu Lai, the number one star of Chinese football, came out of the national competition.
Be sure to complete the production before the end of the national competition.
Now he is looking through all the video materials about Hu Lai that his team spent more than half a week sorting out. In the process, he will classify these materials into different folders to facilitate later editing.
He saw the video of Hu Lai practicing his celebrations alone on the training ground, and he couldn't help laughing.
He still remembered the original situation. They were originally going to shoot Luo Kai, but because there were so many media reporters surrounding Luo Kai at that time, they had to wait.
So he took advantage of the waiting time to conduct a very brief interview with Hu Lai.
Why did you go to Hu Lai temporarily?
Because he has seen people practice extra exercises on themselves between training sessions, but he has never seen anyone practice celebration movements between training sessions...
He finds it interesting, fun and curious.
Unexpectedly, that unintentional interview became the first video record of Hu Lai expressing his desire to become a professional player in front of the camera.
In fact, what Sun Yonggang wanted to ask at that time was what Hu Lai expected of him in that national competition.
Who would have thought that Hu Lai would get it right in one step and answer that he wanted to play professional football...
Sun Yonggang still remembers how he complained crazily in his heart, feeling that the kid in front of him was arrogant and lacked a clear understanding of himself.
If you want to say who was most likely to play professional football at that time, it was of course Luo Kai.
Hulai?
Many people may not have heard of his name.
Even Sun Yonggang himself didn’t take this sentence to heart.
So after the final interview video about Luo Kai was released, there was indeed an Easter egg in it in which Hu Lai practiced his celebration moves, which was interspersed with Luo Kai's interview video. In the video at that time, Hu Lai was known as a "harlequin"
"The image appears.
As for what he said to the camera that he wanted to become a professional player...it didn't appear in the interview video at all.
After all, the subject of the interview was Luo Kai, and it was normal for Luo Kai to say he wanted to be a professional footballer. Add to this the fact that a nobody at the time also boasted that he wanted to play professional football... So what does that mean? He will only be criticized by Luo Kai.
Fans are violent online, right?
Now seeing this dusty interview video again, Sun Yonggang is filled with emotion.
Exactly the same answer, so the fates of Luo Kai and Hu Lai were already intertwined at that time.
It’s just that no one, including himself,... failed to realize this at the time.
Sun Yonggang remembered the national competition promotion MV "Light of Dreams" that he had watched before, which told the story of Hu Lai's transformation from an ordinary football boy to a professional player.
But it was just a MV after all, only four and a half minutes in length and limited in size. In fact, it is difficult to explain how Hu Lai went from a high school student to a national competition player to become a professional player step by step.
And this is exactly the meaning of what he is doing now.
Hope that fans all over China, whether they have paid attention to high school football before or not, can realize through his documentary:
The National High School Football Championship is a place where football teenagers can dream, and it is also a place where their dreams can come true.
Hu Lai is their best role model!
Even if you can’t become a professional player in the end, from this documentary you can learn how those top talents entered the professional football field step by step, and shed tears for the dreams of others. It is also a good pastime after dinner...
Sun Yonggang dragged this video of Hu Lai being interviewed and talking about being a professional player into a special folder, created a new document in it, and wrote:
“This is the first time Hu Lai has participated in a national competition, the first time he has been interviewed by the media in a national competition, and the first time he has talked about his plans for his future life. Therefore, this is the port where his dream sets sail.”
After writing this sentence, he saved the document and continued to organize the video materials related to Hu Lai.
He felt as if he had returned to the time seven or six years ago...

Lin Jin held the mobile phone and looked at Hu Lai and Li Qingqing inside, with an aunt's smile on her face.
Outside the dormitory building, Hu Lai told her his goals and ideals.
Although she regretted that Hu Lai could no longer participate in the national competition, she still cheered for his dream.
At the same time, I was also uneasy, wondering if Hu Lai could convince his father to allow him to continue playing football, and whether he would be able to have smooth sailing after entering professional football.
Of course...people all over the country know the subsequent story.
She also knew that she had never given up paying attention to the news about Hu Lai.
Happy to see the boy who was still worried about his father not allowing him to play football grow up to become a World Cup Golden Boot and a Premier League Golden Boot.
I also learned why his father did not allow him to play football, and how many bumpy roads there were behind his growth.
After knowing this, Lin Jin will be so happy when he sees Hu Lai again in the national competition.
I really didn’t expect to see you again in this way, Hu Lai.
