Chapter 447 The Art of Language
As the biggest star of the game and the number one contributor to the Chinese team's victory, Hu Lai is naturally the target that the media wants to chase.
But after the game, no one found Hu Lai.
What did he do?
He was called by Anti-Doping Committee staff for a urine test.
With his incredible performance in this game, it was normal for him to be called for a urine test after the game. It was not considered persecution against him, but just a normal procedure.
So Hu Lai didn't have any objections and simply went along. He had no worries, so what was there to be afraid of?
In addition to the staff of the Anti-Doping Committee, there were also team leader Ran Jiachang and another staff member of the Chinese Football Association.
This surprised Hu Lai.
Ran Jiachang explained to him: "We have to keep an eye on them."
When he said this, he pointed at the two Anti-Doping Committee people with his hand.
"They have to make sure that your grades are innocent, and we also have to make sure that their work is compliant. Otherwise, if they really change your urine test sample, who are we going to ask for explanation?"
Hu Lai was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Team Leader Ran to be so brave and even say this.
"Thank you, Leader Ran."
Ran Jiachang waved his hand: "You don't need to thank me, I have to thank you, Hu Lai. If it weren't for you, all our previous work would have been in vain. The team couldn't get out of the line, couldn't go to Madrid, and Shi and I's efforts in guiding them were all in vain. ...So thank you, thank you for those five goals..."
When he said this, he saw two staff members motioning Hu Lai to get tested. So he patted Hu Lai on the shoulder: "Go, Hu Lai. Don't worry, our Football Association will definitely have your strong backing. Let me tell you, not only this urine test, although we won this game, we will have to settle the accounts later. All those procedures are indispensable, and some people must pay the price for the appeal.”
He said it with murderous intent, and it seemed that the Football Association was really angered this time.
Since the thorough reform began in 2015, the Football Association has been working hard to improve its internal skills, concentrate on developing its own domestic football environment, and do its own things well.
This seems to have caused the outside world to misjudge them, thinking that today's Chinese Football Association is still the same as before, an expert in civil war and an outsider in foreign war.
Their judgment may have some validity, but the key point is that the previous Chinese Football Association wanted to be tough, but lacked the confidence and lacked impressive results. How can you compete with others? Just like the Chinese Football Association wants to bid for the World Cup, it is always ridiculed, "You haven't even participated in the World Cup finals, why should you host the World Cup? Isn't it embarrassing?" Now the Football Association basically doesn't mention the matter of bidding for the World Cup.
The situation is different today. We have Hu Lai and this Olympic team full of hope.
With a 7:1 victory in hand, but if we can't trouble some people, then the Football Association should really be disbanded.
After Hu Lai thanked Team Leader Ran again, he followed the other staff into the sampling room.
Soon he came out and the sample was handed over to the anti-doping committee staff.
Ran Jiachang patted Hu Lai on the shoulder again and asked him to join his teammates to celebrate the victory and accept interviews. The work here was left to him and the Football Association staff.
※※※
After Hu Lai took the urine test, he was surrounded by reporters in the mixed area.
Everyone's microphones, mobile phones, and recorders were handed to him, wanting to hear how he evaluated the game and his own performance.
"This game..." Facing these reporters, Hu Lai tilted his head, thinking.
Then his first sentence amused some reporters: "It is not easy for us to win this game. Qatar is a very powerful team and an extremely terrifying opponent."
Speaking of this, he showed a frightened expression on his face.
"Now that I think about this game, I'm still a little scared - if I hadn't scored five goals in nine minutes, we probably wouldn't have qualified for the group and lost the hope of going to Madrid. So, Qatar is really powerful! Look at what they have pushed us to.”
The Chinese reporters couldn't hold it back and collectively burst into laughter.
The reporters present were not only Chinese reporters, but also Qatari reporters. They basically couldn’t understand what Hulay said. They had to record what Hulay said and then go back and translate it. But this does not prevent them from observing what is happening. From the happy smiles of other Chinese reporters around them, they can guess that Hu Lai certainly didn't say anything nice.
"It's too tragic. It's really too tragic. This is an extremely tragic game... I think I will recall this game in a few years. For the opponent Qatar, I want to sincerely thank them. Thanks to them for forcing me to be a better version of myself," Hu Lai said sternly. "If we can finally go to Madrid, I will buy a postcard in Madrid, write my thanks and blessings, and give it to the Qatar team. When we meet Qatar in the future, I will also use my best performance to express my gratitude I hope Qatar will never refuse or be polite about their gratitude. After all, this is what you deserve!”
While the Chinese reporters were laughing wildly, they also lamented in their hearts that in all their years of interviewing nationally renowned teams, they have never seen a player as good as Hu Lai...
Being able to describe hurting others as gratitude, and saying "hit once every time" is so refreshing and refined. If someone doesn’t understand this game and just listens to these words, they might be moved to tears by Hu Lai!
Will Qatar not be able to hear it?
I believe that as long as there is no water in their minds, they will be able to hear Hu Lai's overtones and know that Hu Lai is scolding them.
But if you want to use Hu Lai's words to accuse him of talking about referees, disrespecting his opponents, etc... I'm afraid I can't do it.
After all, Hu Lai didn't mention a word about referee Fahani in his entire speech.
This kid is really cunning. When he curses, he knows not to leave any excuse for himself. How can ordinary young players think of so much? You dare to say anything on impulse, and then regret it after you say it. There is no point in regretting it.
But look at Hu Lai's brain... So it's good to vigorously promote campus football. At least there will be more high-quality players like Hu Lai who can't criticize others.
Compared with those professional players who have been in professional teams since childhood and have completed the nine-year compulsory education perfunctorily, if they study for a few more years, it will be really different!
A Qatari reporter saw the Chinese reporter laughing so hard that Hulay probably didn't have anything nice to say, so he was unwilling to dig a hole for Hulay and rushed to ask questions, asking Hulay what he thought of the performance of the referee Farhani in this game.
This is uneasy kindness.
Of course Hu Lai understood, but he was still confused and asked in broken English: "Canyouspeakchinese? Sorry, myenglishisverypoor..."
This is to embarrass the other party. He is a Qatari reporter, how can he speak Chinese?
Can't tell?
If you can't tell, forget it.
Hulay smiled at the anxious Qatari reporter and ignored him.
Other Chinese reporters did not give the Qatari reporters a chance to make their presence known. Someone immediately asked: "Hulay, do you know that your score of five goals in nine minutes has never been done before?" ”
Hu Laixin asked me how could I not know, the system gave me an achievement system because of this...
But he still looked surprised: "Really? Really?"
After getting a positive reply from the other party, he was ecstatic: "Ah, at that time I was only thinking about not losing and qualifying from the group, so I didn't think about it at all. I didn't expect that I could actually do it. Scoring five goals in such a short period of time...Now that you are saying this, he is actually the first in the world to achieve this feat. Member, I feel very happy and honored... Speaking of which, I have to thank Qatar again! This great achievement is not only my honor, but also half of it! If there is another game with Qatar, I will definitely give my best performance to thank Qatar!”
The Chinese reporters laughed again.
Everyone knows what Hu Lai means, and Hu Lai doesn't seem to be afraid of others knowing what he means. Because if you want to say that Hu Lai means this, then he will definitely say that he does not mean this. In fact, it is impossible to conclude from every word he said that this is what he meant...
But whether Hu Laicheng admits it or not will not affect the Chinese reporters' feeling good about this matter.
Hu Lai can not only torment his opponents with five goals in nine minutes on the court, but he can also continue to beat the corpse with the art of language after the game...
Where can I find such high-quality and outstanding players who are both talented in culture and sports?
Those reporters who lacked previous experience in dealing with Hu Lai also understand why reporters who have interviewed Hu Lai before are very caring about him.
Who doesn't like a good player who is so strong, so interesting when talking, and can always create big news for reporters?
In the end, all the Chinese reporters watched Hu Lai leave with admiration and joy. After they had gone a long way, Hu Lai turned around and waved goodbye to the reporters, causing everyone to wave to him collectively.
The scene was just like the staff of the bathing center lining up to send off the golden chain brother...
Brother, walk slowly! Brother, come again!
