Chapter 1212. That moment, this moment
"There is a problem." After putting the pots, pans, dishes and chopsticks into the dishwasher, Li Qingqing said to Hu Lai, "Without football, how can we train?"
"Who said there is no football?"
After Hu Lai finished speaking, he ran upstairs.
Soon he came down with a football in his arms. Li Qingqing's eyes widened: "Are you willing to give it up?"
That was the first football Hu Lai bought with money in his life, and it was the witness of their meeting.
Even to a certain extent, it can be regarded as... a "token of love".
It has always been placed on Hu Lai's desk, and he seems to cherish it very much.
Li Qingqing thought that this football would become an eternal souvenir and lose the attributes of the football itself.
Unexpectedly, Hu Lai took it off the desk today and wanted to kick it again?
"What's so reluctant about it? Isn't it originally a football? Besides, it's just an emergency. Let the fat man buy us a full set of training equipment tomorrow, including a new football, so we can train at home." Hu Lai Throw the football up and head towards Li Qingqing.
Li Qingqing raised his foot to stop the ball and found that the football had enough air and was not deficient, so it met the conditions for use.
"Okay. Let's go after an hour's rest. I'll review my Spanish first."
Song Jiajia hired a Spanish teacher for Li Qingqing, but he didn't come every day. He had three classes a week, three times.
When he is not here, Li Qingqing reviews Spanish by himself.
——This was her life pattern before Julay came to Madrid.
Now that Hu Lai is here, things are naturally different.
"Then I'll help you review. If you have anything you don't know, you can ask me." Hu Lai sat down next to Li Qingqing.
"Okay."
Li Qingqing agreed readily at first, but she soon regretted it because...
"What are you doing?" she turned around and asked.
"Look at you." Next to him, Hu Lai supported his head with one hand and looked at Li Qingqing slightly sideways.
"Then don't keep looking like this...I'll be distracted!" Li Qingqing protested.
"You are so good-looking, why don't you just take a few more glances?" Hu Lai said shamelessly.
"You can watch as you like, but don't bother me here when I'm studying!"
In the end, Hu Lai was blasted away by Li Qingqing.
"I'll call you if you don't know how!"
※※※
Hu Lai, who was driven away, climbed onto the second-floor terrace, looked to the left and saw the lights coming on in his neighbor's house.
Although they are said to be neighbors, they are actually almost a hundred meters apart.
There was some movement over there, but I couldn't hear it very clearly. The reverse is also true.
It's completely different from the domestic neighborhood relationship where if you chop a chop upstairs, your windows will shake.
After two and a half years in Leeds, Hulay has to get used to this kind of life.
At the very least, no one would easily disturb the world between him and Li Qingqing.
He looked at the neighbors and remembered what Song Jiajia said. That seemed to be Maxi Carey's home.
Maxi Carey is famous, of course Hu Lai has heard of it.
This statement has been circulating in the market. Although it has never been confirmed, many people are willing to believe that it is true:
That is, if Maxi Carey were not for personality reasons, he could actually compete with Alexandra Cerrados for the "Four Kings".
After all, before Cerrados won the World Cup, he was the weakest among the "Four Kings".
Louis Francis is in the same team as him. He is the top player of the Madrid Kings. He has won all the national team honors and club honors and is the winner of the football Grand Slam.
Not to mention Serius Caesar of the Turin Bulls, among the four kings, he has maintained a very good state until now. The "all-around superman" in world football has almost no shortcomings whether it is physical or technical. The club has won all the honors it deserves, and all personal honors have been earned. At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, he helped Italy win the World Cup championship and became the first among the "Four Kings". Both his ability and reputation have reached their peak.
Grimand Aylmer, the "Sun King" of the blue and white Munich, is a well-deserved boss of German football. Except for the European Cup champion, all other championships have been won.
Compared with the three of them, Cerrados is indeed a bit weak.
Although he won many championships in the club, he was with the Madrid Kings after all. Isn’t it normal for the Kings to win titles in Madrid?
In terms of personal influence, before Francis retired, Cerrados could only be the "second leader" of the Madrid Kings, and the boss was always Francis.
The national team has zero honors, no World Cup and no European Cup.
Before winning the World Cup in the United States and Canada, many people felt that Cerrados was forcing the Four Kings.
And Maxi Carey is the most vocal among those players who are considered to be the "Four Kings."
National team honors, Maxi Carey and Cerrados were both zero at the time.
The club's honor falls short of the Champions League title.
But after all, he is in the Madrid Pirates, not the Madrid Kings, so being able to achieve such results is enough to show his strong personal ability.
In addition, Maxi Carey's playing style is free and elegant, full of imagination, and is even better than Cerrados in terms of ornamental value.
In the eyes of the majority of fans, the popularity is naturally very high.
Of course, this issue is no longer up for debate - Cerrados led the Spanish team to win the 2026 World Cup in the United States and Canada, and he himself won the World Cup's best player with four goals and two assists.
The debate over whether he is qualified to become one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" came to an abrupt end.
……
Maxi Carey is a top star with extremely high talent and talent, but he also has a bad temper...
Although Hu Lai has never been in contact with this superstar, he has been deeply impressed. The most profound impression was last year's World Cup.
Originally, the Chinese team players were a little nervous when they participated in the World Cup for the first time.
Everyone became even more nervous after hearing that Maxi Carey had withdrawn from the World Cup due to an unexpected injury. So much so that a slightly fierce fight in training can cause a minor conflict.
So it can actually be said: The conflict between Jiang Wanqing and Gao Chen was triggered by Maxi Carey...
After the injury, Kyrie faced the fans and media reporters at the airport where he was leaving. He said coolly: "Do you feel regretful about missing the World Cup? No, it is not my regret that I can't participate in the World Cup, but the regret of the World Cup." Regret.”
This sentence also left a deep impression on Hu Lai, because it really seemed like he was showing off.
Of course, Maxi Carey is indeed the "King of Pressure", and he is especially good at showing off.
There are always a few players with special personalities in world football, and Maxi Carey is one of them.
In addition, after being criticized for his unique personality, he once said this golden sentence:
"For those who don't like me, I have only one sentence: The mountain is there. Whether you like it or not, the mountain is there."
This sentence has simply become a classic quote that can represent Maxi Carey.
and:
"Fuck me, 'MAX' is such a dick!"
His other nickname "MAX" also comes from this sentence.
Maxi Carey's names MAXI and MAX are only one letter apart.
MAX also means the highest, the most, the biggest, and the limit, so he used this word to express that he is the most powerful player in the world and does not take the "Four Kings" seriously at all.
A fanatic nicknamed "Marx" and a club like "Working Class Vanguard" really complement each other...
Hu Lai complained in his heart.
A person with such a full personality is the number one star of his new club. How can he find it difficult to get along with him...
But Hu Lai is not afraid.
He has been fighting wits and courage with his own father since he was a child. He doesn't know how to write the word "fear".
"Hu Lai!"
Li Qingqing's call sounded from downstairs.
"Coming!"
Hu Lai responded and ran downstairs quickly.
His Li Qingqing needed him, so he drove Caiyun there.

After Li Qingqing finished studying Spanish, the two of them changed their clothes and appeared on the lawn in the backyard.
"It's actually very simple to train the left foot, which is to add restrictions in the training: 'All ball touching actions can only be performed with the left foot.' Starting from bumping the ball, first develop the ball feel of the left foot."
As Li Qingqing spoke, he used his left foot to step on the football from the ground - that is, he stepped on the football with his foot and pushed it down, causing the football to jump up after being squeezed and deformed, and then used his foot to lift the football up.
She only used her left foot to hit the ball and looked very skilled.
It's not obvious at all that her dominant foot is actually her right foot - if there were a women's football game, Li Qingqing's reverse-foot ability in the game would be at full value.
After jostling for a while, Li Qingqing handed the football to Hu Lai with his left foot: "Go on! Use your left foot!"
When Hu Lai reflexively wanted to lift her right foot, she shouted.
Hu Lai switched to his left foot in a hurry and failed to stop properly.
He himself was a little embarrassed: "It doesn't count this time, I'm not ready!"
He really wasn't ready, it wasn't an excuse.
Li Qingqing smiled happily, because she suddenly seemed to have returned to the secret base eight years ago.
"No need to come again, you can hit the ball with your left foot."
Li Qingqing assigned the task and watched from the side.
Hu Lai would bounce around and would always reflexively switch to his right foot. At this time, Li Qingqing would remind him loudly.
In fact, Hu Lai's left foot does not say that he can't even bounce the ball in the simplest way, but he usually bounces the ball with his left and right feet alternately. Once he is asked to bounce the ball with his left foot only, which goes against his habit, he will It always takes some getting used to.
Fortunately, it didn't take him long to adapt.
After Li Qingqing saw that he was used to it, he did not let him continue to bounce. Instead, he stopped and asked him to pass the football with his left foot.
The two passed the ball to each other.
Pass with left foot, receive with left foot.
At first, he passed the ball in place and received it in place. Later, after Li Qingqing saw Hu Lai gradually adapting, he started running to pass and receive the ball.
After the two went to the football park to "eat", this was actually the first time in many years that Hu Lai and Li Qingqing played together.
Hu Lai also had a new understanding of the growth of Li Qingqing's abilities.
It has to be said that regardless of the innate gap in physical confrontation between men's and women's football, Hu Lai believes that Li Qingqing should be one of the top players in football.
Especially the basic skills are very solid.
Even though so far they have all been simple passes, the power of every pass passed by Li Qingqing... is actually exactly the same!
Can you believe this?
It's like a ruthless serving machine. After setting parameters such as power and speed, each kick is the same as the previous one. To what extent do you need to control your own muscle strength...
Hu Lai has always known that Li Qingqing is the genius of the Chinese women's football team and has a very high position in the world's women's football team. Otherwise, the King of Madrid would not have spent so much money to sign her from Paris Eger.
But in fact, it wasn't until today that Hu Lai had a deeper and more realistic understanding of how powerful Li Qingqing really was.
He even thought that if he could live with Li Qingqing earlier, how fast his football level would improve...
Thinking of this, Hu Lai had a sudden idea and entered the system space. He used his points to buy [Advanced Training Scroll: Passing] and [Advanced Training Scroll: Catching], as well as [Advanced Training Scroll: Shooting], to use on himself.
He wanted to see if his private training with Li Qingqing at home would be recognized by the system as a "training class."
The result is...well, the system doesn't think this is a formal training session.
After using the scroll, the icon also appeared in the BUFF column, but the icon was gray...
The description is not valid.
It seems that it is not feasible to earn system dividends by opening a small stove.
But Hu Lai himself was not too disappointed. After all, even without the bonus of the training scroll, as long as he trained honestly every day, his abilities would still improve.
It's just that the speed will be a little slower.
Just go slow.
Just as Fatty Song said, he and Li Qingqing will still have a long life in the future... How can they stay together day and night?
※※※
The football rolled quickly on the lawn, making a rustling sound.
Li Qingqing watched the football rolling towards Hu Lai and couldn't help but smile on his face.
She privately thought a lot about what would happen after she and Hu Lai lived together.
The only thing I didn’t expect was that they would pass the ball to each other in the yard like this...
But she was not disgusted, let alone disappointed.
She was even happy.
She seemed to have returned to eight years ago in 2019, when she and Hu Lai met in a secret base and she became his coach.
At that time they were only sixteen years old.
She was extremely grateful that she met Hu Lai when she was sixteen years old, at a time when she didn't even know if she could continue playing football.
She is even more grateful that even after eight years, they can still play together like this.
Football is really good...
Li Qingqing whipped the football towards Hu Lai.
Hu Lai stopped the ball according to his previous habit, but his raised left foot was hit and took a step back, almost missing the ball.
"Wow! Why did you suddenly increase your power?" Hu Lai exclaimed.
Li Qingqing said seriously: "Well, I think you have adapted, so I started to increase the difficulty!"
Hu Lai looked at her suspiciously: "Is that so?"
"Of course! I'm your coach!" After saying that, she hooked the hand to Hu Lai, "Pass the football back and increase the strength."
Hu Lai obeyed and did as he was told.
Bang!
"Look, if you use a little more force, the ball won't be passed accurately." Li Qingqing turned to look at the football hitting the wall next to him and said to Hu Lai.
Hu Lai opened his mouth and found that he had no way to refute. He could only say: "Come again!" (End of Chapter)
