Chapter 448: Popular abroad
Every Chinese reporter who interviewed Hu Lai at the scene could predict the repercussions that would arouse when the content of the interview was published.
It will definitely become a hot event in network communication.
Facts also proved these reporters’ suspicions.
In other words, it is not difficult to guess this.
After all, Hu Lai had just completed an astonishing "Nine-Five Supreme" in the game - this title was originally replied to a post by a netizen on the "Goal" website. Because it was so exciting, it was dubbed The god who received the most likes replied, and then someone took a screenshot and posted it on Weibo, completely out of the circle.
Now it has become the standard term used to describe Hu Lai's five goals in nine minutes.
The matter of "Nine-Five Supreme" is topical enough in itself.
Before the game was over, someone on the Internet had already rummaged through the pile of information and announced that this was the fastest five-goal score in a non-youth team game since the world’s professional football records began. Yuan.
No one in Asia, Europe, America, or Africa can win five yuan in such a fast time.
First of all, winning five yuan is very difficult. You must know that being able to complete a hat trick in a game is worthy of headlines, and the difficulty doubles with each additional goal scored.
Secondly, even if many players have done this on different occasions before scoring five goals, what if they complete five goals in less than nine minutes?
Before Hu Lai, the fastest player to score five goals was Selius Caesar, one of the "Four Kings" in football today. At that time, he scored five goals in only 25 minutes.
But that was eight years ago.
Nowadays, Hu Lai has greatly improved this record, even to the point where it will be difficult for future generations to surpass it.
In this context, Hu Lai has become the focus of everyone's attention, and his words and deeds will naturally not escape the public eye.
When the media reported what Hu Lai said in the interview, it quickly aroused an upsurge of discussion on the Chinese Internet.
Almost most people are impressed by Hu Lai's smooth talk.
Of course, there are a very small number of people who feel that Hu Lai's method of "whipping corpses" is really too much. Even if you win, you have to win, and you still have to show off your words and take advantage of others. It is too ungraceful - as long as everyone is People who hold this view on the Internet are almost always criticized by more people and unable to take care of themselves, no matter how many fans they have.
After all, when Qatar and Iran's black whistle-blower Fahani used dishonorable methods to undermine the Chinese team, these "neutral and objective" wise men did not stand up to speak justice for the Chinese team. Now that the Chinese team has finally won the game under huge pressure, Hu Lai made a few sarcastic remarks, but they "surprised their allies". I'm afraid that Hu Lai's actions will affect the image of Chinese football, and even China's image, discredit the Chinese people, and make Qataris, and even the entire Middle East and West Asia, biased against our country... There are also some idiots who will use Hu Lai's actions to It has risen to the level of influencing the country's foreign policy, just like Hu Lai's words destroyed world peace.
It would be strange for such people not to be sprayed to death.
After all, times have changed. Nowadays, as the country's strength gradually increases, the "reflection party" who badmouths China in the Internet environment has long lost the right to speak, and not many people are willing to listen to their words.
The Chinese Football Association did not intend to settle the matter this time, and did not let the matter go lightly just because the Chinese team won the game.
News came soon after the game that the Chinese Football Association had lodged a protest with the AFC, demanding severe punishment for the Iranian referee Alireza Farhani, who clearly favored Qatar during the game.
This time, the vast majority of fans and netizens sided with the Football Association.
In the past, they had always been cynical about various policies and regulations of the Chinese Football Association, but they all supported the Football Association in safeguarding their rights.
One night later, some media broke the news that the AFC was seriously considering disqualifying Farhani from continuing to enforce the U23 Asian Cup.
As a "Silver Whistle" who was previously trained by the AFC, if this revelation is true, it shows that the Chinese Football Association has really put extreme pressure on the AFC this time. Otherwise, given the influence and status of the Chinese Football Association in the AFC, it may be perfunctory at best.
However, the AFC has no response to the Internet rumors about whether Farhani received money from Qatar, and has no plans to investigate the matter.
After all, the Chinese Football Association did not ask for a thorough investigation of the matter.
If there is no evidence for this kind of thing, we cannot make casual accusations.
Being able to defeat Farhani and eliminate the Qatar team is a result that satisfies many people.
Naturally, people in Qatar can only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis - they cannot speak out about their suffering. Even if they want to bite back and accuse Hu Lai of disrespecting the referee, there is no evidence.
After all, Hu Lai's words after the game really didn't mention a word about the referee.
They can only criticize Hulay in their own media for being arrogant and not respecting his opponents enough - of course they all know the meaning of Hulay's words, which are clearly mocking Qatar.
But by blaming Hulay for this matter, can it help Qatar football regain face?
Now the Qatar Olympic team has not only become the backdrop for Hulay's five goals in nine minutes, but has also become the laughing stock of all Asian football. Everyone saw how arrogant Qatar was in the first half and how confused it was in the second half.
This contrast between before and after is really funny.
Various videos spoofing the Qatar Olympic team have appeared on the Internet.
For example, their No. 10 player Afef once applauded vigorously twice during the game. Because of his exaggerated movements, it was very eye-catching.
One time, after being pushed down by Guo Junfu, he stood up and saw the referee Farhani about to take out the cards. He quickly got up and applauded vigorously.
The second time was during halftime, when he ran to the head coach of the Chinese Olympic team, Shi Wuyin, and clapped vigorously while running past him.
As a result, netizens have now edited the clips of his two applauses with Hulay's five goals - every time Hulay scores a goal, it is accompanied by a scene of Afef clapping vigorously, as if he is cheering for Hu Lai's goal was applauded.
Finally, add a sentence: "The humble Afef pays tribute to the great king Hulay!"
It makes Afef look like a jester...
I don’t know what Afef’s reaction was after seeing this video, but anyway, the Chinese fans were very happy.
On the Chinese Internet, any highlights of this game or video clips of Hu Lai's "95 Supreme" have increased exponentially in terms of views and comments.
As angry as the Chinese fans were while watching the first half of the game, they are just as happy now.
This craze should continue for a few days until the next Chinese team game - Friday, January 19, when the Chinese team faces Palestine, the second-placed team in Group B.

"Qingqing, are all your young Chinese players so good?"
As soon as Li Qingqing arrived in the locker room, she saw a blond teammate jumping in front of her and handing her the phone.
She saw the red Chinese team jersey on the phone screen at a glance, so even though she hadn't read the title and content, she guessed what Lilith Raza was talking about.
"Five goals in nine minutes! Someone on the Internet said that he set a world record..." Lilith exclaimed, "I don't know if it is a real world record, but it is indeed amazing!"
Li Qingqing smiled and nodded: "It's a real world record, Lilith. No one has ever been able to do it before."
Lilith Raza took back her phone and looked at the screen and said: "Although it is a U23 level game, it is still amazing. That player named HU is really amazing!"
Hearing his teammates praising Hu Lai, Li Qingqing had a bright smile on his face.
Because of the time difference, she did not see the live broadcast of the game, but she saw the game highlights through the Internet afterwards. How could she not know about such a big thing?
To be honest, when she saw the game highlight video, she was stunned.
Even she herself has never had the experience of scoring five goals in such a short period of time. Of course she is a midfielder, but she also thought about it carefully and felt that even if she was a forward, it would be difficult to do it.
This is almost an achievement that cannot be replicated.
Hu Lai outdid himself on this matter.
Lilith Raza seemed to be very interested in Hu Lai. She found a close-up photo of Hu Lai on the news page, and then sighed at the photo: "This young man is a bit handsome, a handsome Asian guy..."< br>
Li Qingqing, who was feeling happy for Hu Lai, changed his expression when he heard his teammate's words. He frowned and said, "Handsome? Where are you so handsome?"
Lilith showed Li Qingqing the photo of Hu Lai on her phone: "Don't you think he is handsome?"
Li Qingqing frowned and looked at Hu Lai in the photo, then at Lilith, and then shook his head: "I don't think so."
"Okay, maybe Qingqing, you are used to seeing this kind of appearance. After all, you are surrounded by Chinese people..." Lilith took her phone back and admired it alone.
Li Qingqing took out his mobile phone and sent Hu Lai a WeChat message: "Your matter has become so popular abroad that even my teammates know about you."
"Ah, really? That's really good! Hahaha!" Hu Lai quickly replied.
"My teammates also said you are handsome."
"Your teammate has good taste! How did you respond to her?"
"I asked her when she became blind."
"???"
Seeing the three question marks sent by Hu Lai, Li Qingqing put away his phone with satisfaction, got up to change clothes, and prepared to start a new day of training. (End of chapter)
