Chapter 748: Who do you think it’s bad for you to offend?
As soon as the plane stopped next to the bridge, someone stood up from their seats impatiently and wanted to open the trunk lid and get their luggage.
Hu Lai sat in his seat without moving. He first turned off the airplane mode of his mobile phone and connected to the local network through a virtual operator.
His WeChat soon received some new messages.
One of them was sent by my mother:
"Son, your dad said he wants to see you lead the Chinese team to the World Cup!"
Wang Guangwei, who was sitting next to him, heard the words coming from Hu Lai's cell phone and turned to look at him, but he didn't make a fuss.
The top 12 have been played to this point, and Qatar is the only opponent left.
It would be false to say that no one wants to go to the World Cup now.
Since they defeated the South Korean team at home, the entire Chinese team is now focused on one thing - striving to maintain the third position in the group, and then use this status to participate in the play-offs and make a last-ditch effort to participate in the World Cup finals.
Therefore, if someone wants to participate in the World Cup, it is not a big surprise at this time and in this group, and it will not attract surprised or mocking eyes from others.
After Hu Lai heard his mother's voice, he smiled and typed a reply: "Don't worry, Mom. I promise to complete the task!"
The reason why he is so sure is because he does have a task about the World Cup - when he was selected into the Chinese team's top 12 squad, he triggered the task issued by the system about participating in the World Cup.
The task requires him to help the Chinese team obtain tickets to the finals of the 2026 World Cup in the United States and Canada. The mission reward is very generous, with half a million points alone, not to mention a bottle of [Marrow Cleansing Potion], which can further enhance his physical fitness. There is also a very rare [World Wave Experience Card] - this card is worth one million points, and he has only seen it once when he first joined the school team in high school.
However, when he received the task, Hu Lai could not even get a minute of playing time in the national team, so he was a little pessimistic at that time, thinking that he might not get these coveted task rewards.
Although this task was not like the 30-goal task in the Premier League and there would be any punishment for failure, he was still very unwilling and unhappy.
Because even if he puts aside the system tasks, he himself is extremely eager to go to the World Cup.
If he couldn't participate in the World Cup despite being a man of two generations, wouldn't it be such a failure?
Now that the Chinese team is getting closer and closer to the World Cup finals, there is definitely no reason for Hu Lai to give up at this time.
What happened to Qatar?
What about the away game?
I'm afraid of a hammer!
※※※
When all the players of the Chinese team got off the plane, took their luggage and appeared at the exit, they were warmly "welcome" by the media.
The Chinese media naturally gave a real warm welcome, but the local media in Qatar could not be considered welcoming.
Everyone remembers how the Chinese team’s top star Hulay humiliated Qatari football.
At last year's U23 Asian Cup, Qatar's Olympic dream was destroyed by Hulay in just nine minutes.
And what made the Qataris even more angry was that after winning the game, Hulay was still talking nonsense after the game - did he really think that the Qatari fans couldn't hear that he was being sarcastic?
Of course he didn't think so. He knew that the Qataris knew that he was being sarcastic, but he still said that, which only showed that he was emboldened.
He doesn't care what Qatar thinks.
Maybe at that time, he didn't expect that he would meet Qatar again so soon, right?
Qatar's media and fans thought with some pride - now it's your turn to pay the price for your arrogance and arrogance, Hulay!
So outside the airport, Hulay was besieged by Qatari media.
"Hu, are you worried that losing to Qatar in this last key game will result in losing the right to participate in the World Cup?"
This is relatively polite.
Some Qatari reporters were a bit more eccentric: "Hu! Hu! Can you still have five goals in nine minutes this time?"
When he said this, other Qatari journalists around him burst into laughter.
Amidst the roar of laughter, the faces of the Chinese reporters became very ugly.
But Hu Lai didn't mean to be angry at all. Instead, he looked at the other party with wide eyes and surprise, and then asked in English: "Isn't it right? This journalist friend, are you a Chinese undercover agent?"
The eccentric reporter snorted amidst the laughter and did not answer Hu Lai's weak question.
Hu Lai did not need him to answer, but said to himself: "This is the first time I have seen a reporter who hopes that my country's team will be beaten by me five goals in nine minutes... That's why I doubt you." In fact, he is an old friend of Chinese football. Are you really not our undercover?”
The laughter just stopped suddenly. Obviously, no one expected that Hu Lai could fight back so eloquently.
All the Chinese reporters who came to interview with the Chinese team also understood English. When they heard Hu Lai's words, some couldn't help laughing - now it was the Chinese reporters' turn to laugh.
However, some Chinese reporters did not laugh. Of course, they were not out of integrity or sympathy for Qatar. They were just worried about Hu Lai. In the past, in our own territory, you could just make fun of him. Now we are on other people’s land...
While these reporters were worried about Hu Lai, they did not know that Hu Lai had already received a new task from the system when the other reporter made provocations.
"Task: You have come to an away game that is very unfriendly to you, but you have to prove that everyone loves you and that flowers bloom. This is a universal truth. So you must conquer in this game. Opponent fans who are hostile to you. Mission reward: Points x 200,000, [Powerful Charming Essence Lotion] x 1, Mission failure penalty: 200,000 points deducted."
When Hu Lai saw the punishment for failing the mission, his mentality collapsed - I'm in such a difficult situation, why do you want to mess with me?
Originally, he only needed to help the Chinese team defeat Qatar in the away game. Now he not only needs to win, he also needs to win the hearts of the home fans...
If you fail to win the hearts of the opponent's fans, there will be a penalty - 200,000 points deducted!
I don’t have many points right now and this season has just begun. I don’t know how many more points I need to use next, but now you tell me that if I can’t complete the task, I will deduct 200,000 points...
System, you might as well just let me die!
Of course, the system didn't strike him with a thunderbolt and knock him back. In fact, the system didn't react at all.
Like a cold-blooded spectator, a camera without emotion, just silently and faithfully recording.
So Hu Lai, who had a broken mentality, started to break the rules - Qatar's media and fans wouldn't like him anyway, so why should he keep a low profile and be patient?
No matter whether the task can be completed or not, I will be satisfied first!
Therefore, under the worried eyes of some Chinese reporters, he started a war of words with the Qatari media.
His thoughts were very simple, and he did not consider the various situations that reporters were worried about. He just thought:
Fuck you, you have made me unhappy, and I have made you unhappy too!
※※※
Hulay's sharp retort embarrassed the eccentric Qatari reporter and his heckled colleagues.
Amid the roars of laughter from the Chinese colleagues, their faces gradually became a little uneasy.
Someone said in a gloomy tone: "If I were you, I wouldn't say these words. Taking the initiative to provoke in an away game is not what a smart person should do, Hu."
It sounds like he is trying to persuade Hu Lai, but all fools know that this is actually a threat.
Hu Lai laughed and counterattacked fluently in English: "If I were you, I would not provoke a player who was capable of scoring five of your goals in nine minutes before a game that he cannot afford to lose."
< br>
A Qatari reporter in the crowd changed his face slightly: "Do you really want to do it again?!"
Listening to this tone, he is really worried, not angry...
It is rare to find an honest person. Hu Lai smiled at him: "If I say that I can do it again, I must be talking in anger. If we can do this kind of thing, then our Chinese team should be the World Cup champion now I am a regular customer..."
At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing: "But it should still be possible to make the Qatari fans stand up and applaud."
As soon as this statement came out, the scene was in an uproar!
This time the laughter of the Chinese reporters stopped abruptly. Like their Qatari counterparts, they looked at Hulay with ghostly eyes.
Hu Lai, do you know what you said? !
Do you want those Qatari fans who want you to die to give you a standing ovation in an away game? !
Are you crazy, or is the world crazy?
What the hell...
For a time, these Chinese reporters wanted to tell Hu Lai Zhang Qinghuan's catchphrase.
But they endured it. No matter how many worries they had, they must not express them now, and they could not let the Qataris laugh at them!
But deep down in their hearts, they all sighed helplessly. Hu Lai was putting himself on the fire...
If you have spoken out, the fans in Qatar will no longer be able to applaud you. I am afraid that they will hear boos all over the place during the game!
When the Qatari journalists recovered from the initial shock, their eyes suddenly lit up, like wolves opening their eyes in the dark night.
They finally used proactive provocation to make the Chinese team's biggest star lose his cool!
Said what they wanted him to say!
So arrogant, so wanton!
Just wait to fall into a swamp during the game and be mercilessly slapped in the face!
※※※
Hu Lai didn't care what those people thought. He had already dug out the mission reward [Powerful Charm Essence Lotion] that helped Leeds City avoid relegation last season in the system space.
Doraemon tone:
[Powerful Charming Essence Emulsion]: After applied on the face, it will greatly enhance the charm of the user, even your mortal enemies can be impressed by you. Lasts effective for two hours.
Do you think I was so angry that I lost my mind?
Do you think I'm just a bluff?
Let me tell you, I am cheating!
You said you guys are so unlucky, who can you offend? You offend me, a cheater?
I won’t convince you of this game, I will pee while standing on my head live!
Facing a group of reporters who were dumbfounded and gloating about their misfortune, Hu Leon shrugged his shoulders and turned to leave.
This time no one stopped him from asking questions, and the Chinese reporters just stared at his back blankly.
The Qatari journalists turned around and ran back excitedly, unwilling to waste a second. They wanted to spread the breaking news and stir up the news.
Now, everyone saw it... it was Hu Lai who walked onto the gridiron himself!
So said the Qatari journalists who were adding fuel to the fire under the shelf. (End of chapter)
