When Tang Xiuyuan took a shower, dried her hair, changed into home clothes and came back to the living room, everyone's attention was no longer on Tengfei Video's pre-game broadcast, but on talking about various interesting things in high school.
Seeing Tang Xiuyuan coming, everyone greeted their senior sister and sister-in-law one after another.
Tang Xiuyuan sat down next to her boyfriend Chu Yifan, took the chopsticks from her boyfriend, and Yan Yan handed him another bottle of beer.
She just sat down, ate her midnight snack, and continued to listen to everyone talk about their high school past.
They are all players of the Dongchuan Middle School football team, and most of the things they talk about are naturally related to the football team.
Tang Xiuyuan is not a football fan and does not know much about football, but she still remembers Chu Yifan holding the team flag when the team swore on the podium of the school stadium to compete in the national competition.
The weather was very good that day, the sun shone on the campus playground, and the yellow team flags sounded in the morning breeze.
Under the fluttering flag, the flag bearer was coated with a soft light by the sun...
Sometimes, Tang Xiuyuan would feel strange. She obviously didn't care much about things other than studying in high school, so why could she remember that scene for so long?
It wasn't until later that she heard that Chu Yifan had broken up with his girlfriend that she realized that maybe it was because she had been attracted to this handsome and sunny boy.
Now watching everyone discuss the past events in high school, she felt as if she was back in high school. She was not participating in it, but watching them from a distance, and all her eyes finally fell on Chu Yifan's face.
Chu Yifan felt his girlfriend's gaze, turned to look over, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"
Tang Xiuyuan tilted her head slightly: "Suddenly I regretted that I was so focused on studying when I was in school that I had no impression of many of the things you said... It's like we didn't go to the same high school."
Yan Yan heard it from the side, turned around and asked: "Senior sister, you must have heard about Hu Lai's 'Emperor', right?"
Tang Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed: "I've heard of it, I've heard of this! Everyone in our class was talking about it at that time..."
In fact, the first time Tang Xiuyuan heard of Hu Lai's name was from this "Emperor Chaos" incident.
At that time, everyone was spreading the news that there was a classmate in the first and second grade of high school during recess. His movements were exaggerated and his exercises were funny, and he was named by the dean. Then further news directly exposed the name of this "King of Exercise"
Already.
As soon as the name came out, everyone laughed even more happily. Because as the name suggests, Hu Lai, he does mischief.
Tang Xiuyuan also knew this person's name.
This impression was so deep that when she later heard that the all-powerful Hu Lai in professional football was actually her high school alumnus, the "Fuck King", she still had a strong sense of disobedience. She still couldn't put it aside.
Now the object of worship of countless fans is connected with the "Fuck Emperor".
Yan Yan clapped his chin, then stretched out his hand to hold it in the air: "That's enough, the world line is closed!"
Tang Xiuyuan's eyes widened and she asked in surprise: "Is it over now?"
"Yes, many of our memories are related to Hu Lai. As long as you can still recall Hu Lai's performance in high school, we are all tied together."
Chu Yifan also nodded beside him and said: "Hu Lai is a key figure. Isn't it also because of Hu Lai that we can still get together often after many years?"
He pointed to the TV screen, which was showing highlights of Hulay's ten goals in the Europa League.
Those goals that are either wonderful or ordinary are all at a level that these people in front of the TV can never reach in their lifetime.
But if it weren't for Hu Lai, they would have gone their separate ways after graduating from high school, and maybe they could have organized a gathering every year, or maybe they wouldn't have contacted each other for many years.
It's really impossible that we can play football together and watch football together like this every now and then.
If it weren't for Hu Lai, how could their high school football careers be so colorful and leave so many memories that are still exciting to talk about now?
Tang Xiuyuan held a can of beer in one hand and supported her chin with the other hand, sitting next to her boyfriend, listening to them reminisce about their youthful days, with a smile on her face all the time.
very nice.
Everyone is still together.
I'm also with him.

"Hello to all netizens of Tengfei Video, I am your old friend Shen Lang. I am currently commentating on this season's Europa League final at the Paris World Cup Stadium... For this commentary, we also invited a mysterious guest...
This guest is former Chinese national team head coach Shi Wuyuan, guided by Shi!"
Shi Wuyin's voice came from the live broadcast: "Dear netizens of Tengfei Video, good evening, I am Shi Wuyin."
"Director Shi is currently on a study tour in Europe, so we at Tengfei Video specially invited him to the scene to explain this highly anticipated game for us..."
"Ah!" Xie Lan was a little surprised in front of the TV, "They actually invited Shi Wuyin!"
"It's quite appropriate." Hu Lixin nodded.
Before the game started, Shen Lang asked Shi Wuyin about his study tour in Europe. After Shi Wuyin expressed it, he broadened his horizons and further realized the gap between Chinese football and the world's top football in all aspects.
Don't be overly optimistic and think that the Chinese team is already a strong team in the world just because there are several Chinese players playing in European teams.
Just as he was talking, players from both sides came out to warm up. Shi Wuyuan happened to be warming up and continued to talk about the differences between Chinese players and European team players in the past.
"...This lap grab seems very simple. But in fact, if you compare it, you will find that there is a big difference in such a simple lap grab. Players of European teams are all doing lap grabs before the game.
They are very serious and 100% committed. This will help them get into the game as quickly as possible. Their lap competition is to try their best to simulate the real confrontation in the game. In the past, when our players competed for laps before the game, their mentality was very relaxed.
Talking and laughing while grabbing, laughing and joking, maybe you have invested 60 to 70%. After such a pre-game warm-up, when the game starts, it is naturally impossible to quickly enter the game state, because the game cannot allow you to laugh and laugh like this.
It is impossible to pass the ball slowly and deliberately... Of course, this is not the players' problem, it is mainly the coach's. Our coaches don't have this awareness..."
Hearing what Shi Wuyin said, Hu Lixin and Li Ziqiang in front of the TV nodded in unison, both feeling that Shi Wuyin was right.
Because they realize they have this problem too.
Especially Li Ziqiang, who coaches high school teams and has higher requirements for actual performance. Now that high school football and professional football have integrated, the requirements for high school players are gradually becoming more formalized and professional.
During Hu Lixin's primary school years, his main focus was on cultivating children's interest in football, and he didn't really value their grades that much.
What Shi Wuyuan was talking about was actually just a small detail in football preparations.
But it is precisely these gaps in countless small details that accumulate and eventually turn into a huge chasm-like gap between Chinese football and the world's advanced football.
If they look at the warm-up laps that they have seen countless times, they can see the situation after the game.
The circle of players is denser and smaller. The running distance of the players grabbing the ball in the circle becomes shorter, and the pressure becomes stronger. Players in the outer circle are required to pass and receive the ball quickly enough, and at the same time, they must be stable enough.
If the mistake is replaced by the loose standards of Chinese football, it may not even qualify as a "mistake" and the ball will be intercepted.
Although these players still have smiles on their faces and seem to be quite relaxed, that is just because they are used to such intensity and appear to be at ease. It is completely different from the Chinese players who are laughing and joking about not giving their best.
Shen Lang agreed from the side: "There is nothing wrong with this. After Dillon took office, the national team's training also required the same, emphasizing confrontation and actual combat presence..."
"Dillon is a world-famous coach, and he is also aware of the problems of Chinese players. The changes he made to our players are all right." Shi Wuyin was not dissatisfied because Dillon did something he didn't do. On the contrary, he
Very happy to see the progress of the Chinese team.
This shows that the development of Chinese football has finally caught up with the pace of the world.
Soon, Leeds City players went to practice shooting one by one.
They received the ball from the offensive coach outside the penalty area, and then shot the football towards the goal. Some of them hit the goal frame, but were saved by goalkeeper Van Der Ven, and some missed the goal frame.
Hu Lai received the ball from the coach, took a slight step laterally, and then took a shot. The shot was at an angle opposite to his horizontal pull.
The football did not fly, but moved forward along the turf, very fast, and went straight into the dead center of the goal!
Goalkeeper Van de Ven was out of reach and failed to block it.
"What a goal!" Shen Lang couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this scene. "It seems that Hu Lai's shooting skills in this game are good. He is good at it. At least he can score a goal!"
Hearing this, Xie Lan, who had a serious expression because he was frightened by the huge gap mentioned by Shi Wuyuan before, finally smiled.
Well, as I said before, as long as her son can score goals, that's fine.
