Chapter 1172 Everyone is still together
After Tang Xiuyuan took a shower, dried her hair, changed into home clothes and came back to the living room, everyone's attention was no longer on Tengfei Video's pre-match broadcast, but on talking about various interesting things in high school.
Seeing Tang Xiuyuan coming, everyone greeted their senior sister and sister-in-law one after another.
Tang Xiuyuan sat down next to her boyfriend Chu Yifan, took the chopsticks from her boyfriend, and Yan Yan handed him another bottle of beer.
She just sat down to eat her midnight snack and continued to listen to everyone talk about their high school past.
They are all players on the Dongchuan Middle School football team, and most of the things they talk about are naturally related to the football team.
Tang Xiuyuan is not a football fan and doesn't know much about football, but she still remembers the way Chu Yifan held the team flag when the team swore to compete in the national competition on the podium of the school stadium.
The weather was very good that day, the sun was shining on the campus playground, and the yellow team flags were flapping in the morning wind.
Under the fluttering flag, the flag bearer was coated with a soft light by the sun...
Sometimes, Tang Xiuyuan would feel strange. She obviously didn't care much about things other than studying in high school, so why could she remember that scene for so long.
It wasn't until later that she heard that Chu Yifan had broken up with his girlfriend that she realized that maybe it was because she had been attracted to this handsome and sunny boy.
Now watching everyone discuss the past events in high school, she felt as if she was back in high school. She was not participating in it, but watching them from a distance, and all her eyes finally fell on Chu Yifan's face.
Chu Yifan felt his girlfriend's gaze, turned to look over, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"
Tang Xiuyuan tilted her head slightly: "Suddenly I regretted that I was so focused on studying when I was in school that I had no impression of many of the things you said... It's like we didn't go to the same high school."
< br>
Yan Yan heard it from the side, turned around and asked: "Senior, you must have heard about Hu Lai's 'Cook Emperor', right?"
Tang Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed: "I've heard of it, I've heard of this! Everyone in our class was talking about it at that time..."
In fact, the first time Tang Xiuyuan heard Hu Lai's name was from this "Emperor Fuck" incident.
At that time, everyone was spreading rumors that there was a classmate in the first and second grade of high school who was called out by the dean for his exaggerated movements and funny exercises during recess. Then further news directly exposed the name of this "Fuck Emperor".
As soon as the name came out, everyone laughed even more happily. Because people are just as the name suggests, Hu Lai, and he does just that.
Tang Xiuyuan also knew this person's name.
This impression was so deep that when she later heard that the all-powerful Hu Lai in professional football was actually her high school alumnus, the "Fuck King", she still felt a strong sense of disobedience. I still can't connect the person who is now worshiped by countless fans with the "Fuck Emperor".
Yan Yan clapped his chin, then stretched out his hand to hold it in the air: "That's enough, the world line is closed!"
Tang Xiuyuan's eyes widened and she asked in surprise: "Is it over now?"
"Yes, many of our memories are also related to Hu Lai. As long as you can still recall Hu Lai's performance in high school, it is considered to be together."
Chu Yifan also nodded beside him and said: "Hu Lai is a key figure. Isn't it because of Hu Lai that we can still get together often after many years?"
He pointed to the TV screen, which was showing highlights of Hulay's ten goals in the Europa League.
Those goals that are either wonderful or ordinary are heights that these people in front of the TV can never reach in their lifetime.
But if it weren't for Hu Lai, after they graduated from high school, they would have gone their separate ways and might have been able to organize a gathering every year, or they might not have been in contact for many years.
It's really impossible to be able to play football and watch football together like this every now and then.
If it weren't for Hu Lai, how could their high school football careers be so colorful and leave so many memories that are still exciting to talk about now?
Tang Xiuyuan holds a can of beer in her hand and supports her chin with the other hand. She sits next to her boyfriend and listens to them reminisce about their youth, with a smile on her face.
very nice.
Everyone is still together.
I'm with him too.

"Hello to all netizens of Tengfei Video, I am your old friend Shen Lang. I am currently commentating on this season's Europa League final at the Paris World Cup Stadium... For this commentary, we also invited a mysterious guest... This guest is Shi Wuyuan, the former head coach of the Chinese national team, guided by Shi!”
Shi Wuyin's voice came from the live broadcast: "Dear netizens of Tengfei Video, good evening, I am Shi Wuyin."
"Director Shi is currently on a study tour in Europe, so we at Tengfei Video specially invited him to the scene to explain this highly anticipated game for us..."
"Ah!" Xie Lan was a little surprised in front of the TV, "They actually invited Shi Wuyin!"
"It's quite appropriate." Hu Lixin nodded.
Before the game started, Shen Lang asked Shi Wuyin about his study tour in Europe. Shi Wuyin said that after speaking out, he broadened his horizons and further realized the gap between Chinese football and the world's top football in all aspects.
Don't be too optimistic and think that the Chinese team is already a strong team in the world just because there are several Chinese players playing in European teams.
As he was talking, players from both sides came out to warm up. Shi Wuyin was just warming up and continued to talk about the differences between Chinese players and European team players in the past.
"... Just this lap grab seems very simple. But in fact, if you compare it, you will find that there is a big difference in such a simple lap grab. Players of European teams are all doing lap grabs before the game. They are very serious and 100% committed. This will help them get into the game as quickly as possible. Their lap competition is to try to simulate the real confrontation in the game. In the past, our players were very relaxed when doing lap competition before the game. Talking and laughing while grabbing, laughing and joking, maybe you have invested 60 or 70% in this kind of pre-game warm-up. When the game starts, it is naturally impossible to get into the game state quickly, because the game cannot allow you to laugh and laugh like this. It is impossible to pass the ball slowly and make sense... Of course, this is not the players' problem, it is mainly the coach's. Our coaches don't have this awareness..."
Hearing what Shi Wuyin said, Hu Lixin and Li Ziqiang in front of the TV nodded in unison, both feeling that Shi Wuyin was right.
Because they realize they have this problem too.
Especially Li Ziqiang, who coaches a high school team and has higher requirements for actual results. Now that high school football and professional football have merged, the requirements for high school players are gradually becoming more formalized and professional.
During Hu Lixin's primary school years, his main focus was on cultivating children's interest in football, and he didn't really value their grades that much.
What Shi Wuyuan said was actually just a small detail in football preparations.
But it is the accumulation of these countless small details that eventually turns into a huge chasm-like gap between Chinese football and the world's advanced football.
If they look at the warm-up laps that they have seen countless times, they can see the situation after the game.
The circle of players is denser and smaller. The running distance of the players grabbing the ball in the circle becomes shorter, and the pressure becomes stronger. Players in the outer circle are required to pass and receive the ball quickly enough, and at the same time, they must be stable enough. If you make a mistake - according to the loose standards of Chinese football, it may not even qualify as a "mistake" - the ball will be intercepted.
Although these players still have smiles on their faces and seem to be quite relaxed, that is just because they are used to such intensity and appear to be comfortable with it. It is completely different from the Chinese players who are not doing their best and are laughing and joking.
Shen Lang agreed from the side: "There is nothing wrong with this. After Dillon took office, the national team's training also had the same requirements, emphasizing confrontation and actual combat presence..."
"Dillon is a world-famous coach, and he is also aware of the problems of Chinese players. The changes he made to our players are all right." Shi Wuyin was not dissatisfied because Dillon did something he did not do. On the contrary, he was very happy to see the progress of the Chinese team.
This shows that the development of Chinese football has finally caught up with the pace of the world.
Soon, Leeds City players went to practice shooting one by one.
They received the ball from the offensive coach outside the penalty area and shot the football toward the goal. Some of them hit the goal frame, but were saved by goalkeeper Fan Dewen, and some missed the goal frame.
Hu Lai received the ball from the coach, took a slight step laterally, and then shot from the opposite angle to his horizontal pull.
The football did not fly, but ran forward along the turf, very fast, and went straight into the dead center of the goal!
Goalkeeper Van de Ven was out of reach and failed to block it.
"What a goal!" Shen Lang couldn't help but admire when he saw this scene. "It seems that Hu Lai's shooting skills in this game are good. He is good at it. At least he can score a goal!"
Hearing this, Xie Lan, who had a serious expression because he was frightened by the huge gap that Shi Wuyuan said before, finally smiled.
Well, as I said before, as long as her son can score goals, that's fine. (End of chapter)
