When Hulay went to the team for training the next day, rumors were already spreading in the locker room that his girlfriend turned out to be a female soccer star of the Madrid Kings.
Because he had discussed this issue with Li Qingqing and knew that no matter what the outcome was, it would be a win-win situation, Hu Lai was not very nervous.
Everyone will know it once they know it.
Therefore, Hu Lai always gave a positive answer to those who came up to him to verify this matter:
"Thank you for the invitation. Yes, that's right, Qingqing and I are lovers. Qingqing does play in the Madrid Kings women's football team."
Although everyone was wondering why Hu Lai added "Thank you for the invitation" before speaking, they also expressed their feelings about the relationship between Hu Lai and Li Qingqing.
"It's not like I haven't heard of men's football players finding love with female football players... But the relationship between you two, mortal enemies in the same city, is really weird..."
"Yes, yes. Not only do we have to compete on the court, but we also have to continue to compete after the game..."
"What's the fight about?"
"What are you talking about competing with? Hey!"
"Then after we win the king, won't Hu's girlfriend be able to avenge the king in bed?"
"On the other hand, if our women's football team loses to the Kings women's football team, can Hu avenge the women's football team?"
"Why do you feel that no matter what, Hu will not suffer any loss?"
"Hahahahaha!"
Hu Lai was stunned as he listened to the discussion of these gangsters, not knowing what to say.
Good guy, he really didn’t expect it to be such a “win-win” situation!
※※※
The teammates' teasing about Hulay's girlfriend turning out to be a star of the Madrid Kings women's football team passed quickly, and no one really took it to heart.
After all, no matter who it is, love is a private matter. It's okay for other people to joke around occasionally, but if they point fingers seriously, it will be annoying.
As for whether the Pirates won the game, the Kings won the game, and how the couple got along, that was their business and had nothing to do with anyone else.
Madrid Pirates players still have to devote their energy to league preparations.
This is the last round of the league before the national team match day. After this game, the players have to report to their respective national teams to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers in each region.
La Liga has finished two rounds, and currently a total of six teams have won both games and accumulated six points.
Catalonia United still ranks first with a goal difference advantage. They defeated Atletico Malaga 1:0 away from home in the second round of the league.
Madrid Pirates, who defeated Valero 2:0 at home, followed closely behind, with a goal difference two less than Catalonia.
The third place is the Madrid Kings who defeated Real Huelva 1:0 away from home.
The fourth-placed Sporting Vizcaya, they defeated Pamplona 2:0 at home in this round of the league.
The above four teams are originally relatively strong teams, so no one would be surprised to be ranked in the top four.
But the fifth place is somewhat surprising, it is Saria!
In this round of the league, they faced the powerful Valentia at home. You must know that Valentia ranked fourth last season and qualified for the Champions League.
As a result, in this game, Saria finally defeated Valentia 3:1.
Zhang Qinghuan performed well in this game. He contributed a goal and an assist and was elected the best of the game.
In terms of his performance in this round of the league, he is even better than Hulay, who only scored one goal.
Excited Chinese fans have already shouted such slogans on the Internet: "Who is the real boss of Catalonia?!"
Targeting Catalan United midfielder and captain Gaspar Rosas.
Because Rosas and Zhang Qinghuan have very similar roles for the team, although their positions are different. Zhang Qinghuan is in the midfielder position, while Rosas is more like a central midfielder.
But they are both offensive organizers of their respective teams, and their playing styles are somewhat similar.
They all have delicate footwork and imaginative passing skills.
Even the shortcoming of slow movement speed is the same...
Because the status and achievements of the two people are so different, they would not be compared originally. No one would put Audi and Yadi together to compare performance.
But now, someone is comparing the two people together, even if it was just for the purpose of ridicule at the beginning... that is enough to prove Zhang Qinghuan's ability.
This former Chinese football super genius, after many years of wandering around, seems to finally be worthy of everyone's expectations and high expectations for him.
People are still a little bit sad. If he had not taken that detour, would Zhang Qinghuan have jumped from Sarria to a real wealthy family?
Just like Hu Lai today.
No one knows the answer.
But life is not a novel and cannot be assumed.
So I can only say that everything in the past, good or bad, worked together to shape Zhang Qinghuan today.
If Zhang Qinghuan had not taken a detour, his state of mind would be completely different. Can he still deal with setbacks and sufferings calmly?
After all, at that time, he was still a "child" who left everything to his father and relied too much on his father.
It was the sudden death of his father that threw him into an unprotected world, leaving him struggling to survive. He survived and became the indomitable Zhang Qinghuan he is today.
This is actually the best arrangement that fate has for Zhang Qinghuan.
The Zhang Qinghuan before losing her father was like gold, dazzling and dazzling, everyone loved her, but she was too soft.
Now he is a diamond, turned into the hardest stone under high temperature and pressure.

Before the start of the third round of La Liga, Hulay did not train with the team, but took a day to fly back to the UK.
Destination London, the capital of the United Kingdom.
He was accompanied by Samuel Leray, the general manager of football of Pirates of Madrid.
They went there for multiple purposes, including the new season's Champions League group draw and the awards ceremony for various European League awards last season.
Hu Lai is no longer unfamiliar with this.
Because he participated in the ceremony as a candidate for the best young player in Europe last season, and finally successfully won this award, becoming a role model for all young players in Europe last season.
And this time he went not to participate in the selection of the best young player in Europe. He was about to turn 24 and had already exceeded the age limit for candidates. At the same time, according to regulations, players who had won the award before could not win it again.
.
The most popular winner of this year's European Young Player Award is Catalonia's "golden boy" Mario Salado. He is finally going to get his wish.
But he was already twenty years old when he won the award. After all, he still failed to surpass Melli's record as the youngest player to win the award...
Hulay went this time because he was selected into the final ten candidates for the European Ballon d'Or and the Europa League's Best Player Award.
Although he was included in the ten-man shortlist for the European Ballon d'Or, he was basically there to accompany him.
Last season's European Ballon d'Or should have been decided between Manchester United's Kendall Kabangka and Blue and White Munich's Søren Gribsch.
Among them, Gribusch has a higher chance of winning.
As the midfield partner and successor of one of the Four Kings, "Sun" Gremand Aylmer, the captain of Blue and White Munich, Gribusch, is the world's top rhythm master, with comprehensive skills and a strong outlook on the overall situation.
Very precise long pass with his feet.
He was also an important contributor to the Blue and White Munich's ability to win the Triple Crown last season.
At 30 years old, he is at the peak of his career.
Compared with him, Kendall Kabangka is a little immature.
The most important thing is that Kabangka is slightly inferior in terms of honors. After all, he only has the Premier League championship and lacks the Champions League championship. In the direct dialogue with Gribusch in the Champions League final, he was even defeated, which cost him a lot of points.
.
Except for these two people, the other people on the ten-person list are basically here to make up the numbers.
Mery Banega is also on the ten-man roster, but last season he neither won the La Liga title nor the Champions League title with the Madrid Kings, so he was seriously lacking in competitiveness.
Catalan United captain Gaspar Rosas is also on the ten-man roster. Although he has a La Liga title, he still has no hope of winning the Ballon d'Or.
Hu Laitong is just a make-up, and even Melli has not won the European Ballon d'Or, let alone him.
Although he is uncompetitive in the Ballon d'Or, Hulay has already won another award. Unlike the European Ballon d'Or, where you don't know who will win until the last moment, the best player in the Europa League does not need to be chosen.
Strict confidentiality. So three days ago, Hulay already knew that he would win the best player award in the Europa League last season.
This is well deserved for him.
Although he only started participating in the Europa League from the top 32 last season, he scored a total of 13 goals in the knockout stage with amazing efficiency. In the end, he helped Leeds City win the Europa League for the first time.
Champion of the event.
The best player of the Europa League is selected by the coaches of the forty-eight teams that participated in the Europa League group stage last season and fifty-five journalists from UEFA member countries.
Leeds City did not participate in the Europa League group stage last season, so Tony Clark did not even have the right to vote.
Under such circumstances, the vast majority of team coaches and reporters still voted for Hulay, which shows the value of Hulay as the best player.
For Hu Lai himself, this is also the number of personal honors he has received in his career.
Since starting to participate in the Chinese League One in 2022, Hu Lai will receive personal honors every season.
Various top scorers, best players.
Among them, the most valuable ones are the Premier League's top scorer, best player and World Cup top scorer.
Now the Europa League Best Player Award has been added.
As an Asian player, Hu Lai has surpassed his predecessors, at least in terms of personal honors.
Moreover, he is not yet twenty-four years old, and his future is unlimited.
China's domestic media has begun another round of praise for Hu Lai. Countless media reporters went to London, England, waiting to report on this grand event.
Hu Lai himself had little interest in going to London.
Mainly because going to London meant he had to be separated from Li Qingqing for a day. Qingqing finally returned home from the closed training camp, but he had to fly to London himself before the bed was warm...
Last season, Paris Eger's women's football team had poor results. They failed to win the league championship, cup championship and European championship. There was no harvest in a season. Therefore, Li Qingqing, who was still playing at Paris Eger at the time, was not selected for the Women's Football Ballon d'Or.
There were five shortlists for the award, and she couldn't go to London at all.
They had to "say goodbye" again.
When the club found him and informed him to go to London, he was quite resistant: "Why should I go? The top ten candidates? I will definitely not be in the top three in the end... The league is coming, and I still want to train with the team.
"
But the club told him that probably wouldn't work: "You won the best in the Europa League, so you have to go, Hu."
Hu Lai had no excuse and had no choice but to go.
In order not to experience such a separation again, he and Li Qingqing should try their best to perform well in the future and get the opportunity to participate in various award ceremonies and ceremonies at the same time.
Being good alone is not good.
Hello everyone, this is really good!
