"Chinese fans have been in tears for forty-five years!" 》
"Chinese football is proud and proud!" Koreanphobia is gone forever! 》
"Gentlemen, we are witnessing history! 》
In station B, a quick UP owner has posted a video of a black man carrying a coffin. The words "Korean Fear" are written on the coffin. Below, the four black men carrying the coffin have been paired with Hu Lai's profile picture, laughing so hard. The Xixi Hu Lai has a lively expression, which fits the theme very well.
Coupled with the suona version of the coffin-carrying BGM, it is really "inner taste".
The question on Zhihu about "The Chinese team defeated the South Korean team 3:0 in the East Asian Cup, breaking the 41-year Korean fear. How do you evaluate this game?" was posted in less than an hour. received more than 3,000 responses.
The one with the highest number of likes is an epitaph written for "Korean phobia": "Korean phobia, born on August 25, 1982, died on March 13, 2023, at the age of forty... It was born in a wretched way. , die a happy death... Let us raise the wine glass in our hands and send it to the west today!”
Longteng.com immediately sent everyone the messages about the result of the game under the Korean website news that they translated, so that Chinese netizens could see what Korean fans thought of the game.
Watching those Korean fans who showed off their power before the game, they were chanting like mourners, "Disband the Olympic team!" "Lee Anren is dismissed!" "Football Association officials should collectively cut off their fingers to apologize!" "National humiliation day!" "Korean football has never There has never been such a dark night! "... It made the Chinese fans feel very familiar and friendly - indeed, no matter which country they are, they always curse the same thing after losing.
On short video websites such as Douyin and Kuaishou, there are many short videos that record the reactions of fans from all over the world after the game.
There were people at the food stalls who suddenly jumped up and cheered while eating skewers, and there were also people in the bar who shouted, "I'll pay for everything today." Paired with the BGM of "The light of the righteous path shines on the earth".
The most common thing is the "grand occasion" in the student dormitories of various universities. After the competition, the students collectively sang songs such as "Ode to the Motherland" and "March of the Volunteers" to express their joy.
In the picture captured by the mobile phone, impassioned singing came from the university dormitories, which were completely dark with only light in the windows.
"...the five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind! How loud the victory song is!"
Whether online or offline, photos and videos from all over the country summarized a happy scene of "universal celebration".
Chinese fans have never felt so good as tonight!
Some people even expressed this emotion: "I believe that one day, if the Chinese team reaches the World Cup, the celebrations will be nothing more than this..."
Someone immediately refuted him: "No! It's a hundred times better!"
Of course, in such happy moments, there are always some unscrupulous people who come out to look for trouble.
Some idiots who don't watch football at all, but know that Chinese football is weak, disgusting, and can be scolded no matter how hard they criticize it, are jumping out to gain popularity and increase their presence.
"You are so happy after winning just once in forty-one years? What a blessing! Do you know why Chinese football is so bad?"
"What's so exciting about winning as a substitute for the Olympic team?"
"To educate everyone, 'Korean phobia' refers to the fact that we have never beaten the Korean team in international A-level events. In the East Asian Cup, everyone is sending the Olympic team, which is not considered an international A-level event at all, so Even if you win, it doesn't mean you've cured your 'Korean phobia'..."
In the past, no matter how they criticized Chinese football, there would indeed be many people on their side. This may have created an illusion for them, that no matter how they scold, when they scold, or for whatever reason, as long as they scold Chinese football, then they are invincible and they are simply a light of righteousness.
But this time, it overturned.
"Who doesn't want to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year? If you can't be happy when you win, do you still have to cry in mourning? Oh, my original PO is that someone just died in your family, so you don't allow others to be happy? That's really gratifying!"
"First of all, the Chinese team is also the Olympic team. In addition, is it our fault that the Korean team has to send half the main force and half the substitute lineup? Finally, the Korean team replaced three main players in the second half, and they did not win. In football games, winning is If you win, do you care whether you are the main player or the substitute? Does it mean that the substitute does not represent the Korean team?”
"Haha, if the Chinese team loses, they will be scolded. If the Chinese team wins, they will be called substitutes. China shouldn't have football and forget about disbanding the national team, right? The stupid original PO and a financial reporter came to complain. If it’s hot, just give it a try!”
"Popular science! The East Asian Cup is an international A-level event recognized by FIFA. The result of this game will be counted as FIFA points, which will directly affect the FIFA rankings of the two teams! You don't understand anything, just follow Are you qualified to learn popular science here?”
Just when they thought they could gain popularity and receive praise, they were overwhelmed by netizens who poured in and scolded them for being despicable, shameless and shameless...
Many people were shocked and didn't understand why the national football team, which anyone could step on and spit on before, became a tiger's butt that could not be touched this time?
These people usually don't watch football and don't care about Chinese football, so they naturally don't understand it - no matter which club or national team Chinese fans usually like, only tonight, at this moment, they Only then can we shout this sentence with dignity:
"We won!"

Xie Lan put down the phone and took a deep breath.
She had just finished a WeChat video chat with her son.
Seeing her like this, Hu Lixin said: "Let me tell you, he must be fine."
Xie Lan glared at her husband: "You don't care at all!"
"Why don't I care anymore? I just know it won't be too bad...what did he say?"
"He said he was fine. The team just took him to the local hospital for a check-up and he was indeed fine." Xie Lan said as he continued to fill the plastic bag with peanuts, melon seeds and candies.
"Stop pretending...if you pretend to be at home, you've already finished pretending." Hu Lixin stopped him.
"Look at how stingy you are... Besides, our son scored a hat trick and was uninjured. Even if all the inventory at home is exhausted, so what?" Xie Lan rolled her eyes at her husband, but still showed mercy and did not continue. Put it in the big plastic bag.
Then she tied the plastic bag carefully, leaving no gaps as much as possible to prevent the melon seeds from getting wet.
After doing all this, she had a sudden thought: "Hey, Lao Hu. Do you want me to make a banner and hang it outside our balcony..."
"Banner? What do you want to do?"
“Just write something like ‘Congratulations to Hu Lixin, Xie Lan’s son Hu Lai on his national team debut hat trick’…”
"Are you crazy!" Hu Lixin was startled.
"Wasn't it because we were too low-key before that others thought we were easy to bully? You see, people like Sister Wang who don't even know who Zhang Qinghuan is dare to find fault with my son in front of me... No matter how low-key we are, I’m just afraid that people will ride on my neck and poop and pee!”
"You are too high-profile... You should share the candy with the people in your office. This will be enough for everyone to know about your son's hat trick..." Hu Lixin wiped his sweat. If he really followed his wife's approach, he would I have to follow my son's original suggestion and move out of here quickly...

Zhao Kangming put down the phone with an unstoppable smile on his face: "Xiao Shi said, Hu Lai is fine, nothing happened at all!"
The wife also smiled: "Now you can have a good sleep."
"Oh, as a club head coach, what you worry about most is that your players are injured during the national team game, and you can't even say a word..." Zhao Kangming was quite emotional.
Then he picked up the phone again: "No, I still have to talk to Hu Lai and tell him not to do things that anger his opponents during the game, so as not to be retaliated against again..."
He dialed Hu Lai's number as he spoke, but soon put the phone down: "This guy didn't activate international roaming!"
"You can find him on WeChat," his wife reminded.
"Oh, yes, WeChat!" Zhao Kangming started to make a WeChat video call with Hu Lai.
※※※
"Coach Zhao, I was wronged. I really didn't mean to provoke him..." Hu Lai said to the club's head coach Zhao Kangming on the screen while holding his mobile phone.
"You didn't? Don't think I didn't see the sign language conversation between you and that Sun Haomin." Zhao Kangming sneered.
"Ah, Director Zhao, what are you talking about... That grandson shook his finger at me to say that I was not in good health. I pointed out two fingers to tell him that if he was pushing against both of us, I would definitely not be able to fight him physically. …”
"I believe you are a ghost!" Zhao Kangming was very angry at Hu Lai. "Anyway, no matter what, please pay attention to me in the next game, don't get carried away, and don't get hurt!"
"But Director Zhao, it's impossible for me to never be injured in my career..." Hu Lai spread his hands.
"I hope you never get hurt!" Zhao Kangming snorted.
"Oh, Director Zhao, I wish you good luck, I wish you good luck..."

"Dad, did you watch the game? Hu Lai wore a hat during the game! A hat trick!"
Li Qingqing said excitedly during a video call with his father Li Ziqiang.
"I saw it..." Looking at his daughter who was so excited, Li Ziqiang replied helplessly.
"Dad, are you happy? I just ask you if you are happy! That's your proud disciple!"
"I think you are happier than me." Li Ziqiang said coldly.
Li Qingqing suddenly realized the problem, and she quickly explained: "I am indeed very happy, Dad. Because I have a very strange feeling in the stands today - when I was in school, I saw him wanting to join them No one wanted him in the boys' football game in his class, so he could only go to the sidelines and be a spectator... At that time, who would have thought that they were rejecting a forward who could score a hat trick against the South Korean team today! Thinking of this makes me want to laugh.”
Li Ziqiang coughed and did not answer his daughter's question: "By the way, how is his injury?"
"His injury? Oh, it's nothing... It is said that he has gone to the hospital for a check-up, and there is nothing wrong. It is good news. Everyone knows about it, and it has been spread among the team." Li Qingqing calmly patched it up.
"Is everything okay?" Li Ziqiang asked.
"It's really okay. It's said that Hu Lai was lucky. Although he was shoveled, he fell quickly and absorbed most of the impact, so it didn't actually cause any damage. Some people on the Internet said that Hu Lai dived Yes, if Hu Lai hadn't fallen in time, he might have been ruined. So what if he had fallen?" Speaking of this, Li Qingqing still couldn't hide his displeasure.
After Li Qingqing finished speaking, she saw her father on the screen looking relieved, but she didn't dare to confirm because the light on her father's side was too dark and she couldn't see clearly.
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. You should go to bed early and don't get too excited and lose sleep." Li Ziqiang said.
"Don't worry, Dad. No, it's not like I scored three goals..."
"Yes." Li Ziqiang nodded and ended the video call.
Li Qingqing put down her phone and looked up at the night sky in Seoul - in order to make this video call with her father, she did not stay in the hotel room, but found a secluded corner in the hotel's back garden.
Just an hour ago, the Chinese Olympic team took a bus back to their hotel. She and other teammates of the women's national team were standing in the lobby, divided into two teams, to welcome the returning Olympic team players. , applauding and cheering for them.
One day ago, the boys of the Olympic team also welcomed them after winning the game.
But this time, she didn't see Hu Lai among the jubilant Olympic team players.
He went to the hospital for a checkup.
Until she received a message from Hu Lai on WeChat, saying that after examination, there was no problem with his left ankle at all, and told her not to worry.
The stone in her heart finally fell.
If my father had called me an hour earlier, I might not have been able to chat with my father so happily.
Hat trick, breaking the "Korean phobia", good health and ankles...
Looking at the starless, moonless, pitch-black night sky, Li Qingqing felt that this ordinary night was particularly beautiful.
The evening breeze is not cold, and there are humming insects.
Spring is coming. (End of chapter)
