Chapter 106 Looking to the future(1/2)
There are more than one football field in the Olympic Park where the entire Olympic Village is located. Teams participating in national competitions can apply to the organizing committee for venue use time for training.
The organizing committee will then negotiate with the park management and finally give the venue to the team that applied.
On the morning of the day after the first round, the right to use one of the courts belonged to Dongchuan Middle School.
When Dongchuan Middle School was training on this field, some people with cameras came one after another from the sidelines.
They are all journalists.
"Wow! The treatment is different after winning a game. Even reporters came to watch our training." Hu Lai exclaimed.
"I think you are overthinking, Hu Lai." Mao Xiao said, "They should just come to see Luo Kai."
During the break in the training, when everyone was taking a break, Mao Xiao's words were confirmed - Luo Kai, led by head coach Li Ziqiang, came to the sidelines to accept interviews from reporters.
Although he had already been interviewed by reporters after yesterday's game, reporters now have new questions.
"Ugh!" Hu Lai snorted in displeasure when he saw this scene. "It feels like we are all his foils."
He thought again about the reports about him in the media: Luo Kai's teammates.
He felt that he needed to practice some more celebration moves. He tried to use Ronaldo's celebration moves twice before, but failed because he didn't stand firm when he landed.
He wanted to successfully perform this celebration in a national competition so that everyone would remember him.
The only pity is that only the number is printed on the jersey of the high school game, and not the player's name. Otherwise, with this set of celebrations, the TV audience will not only be able to see his number, but also remember his name.
Thinking of this, he stood up from the turf.
"Hey, Hu Lai, what are you going to do?" Mao Xiao was a little nervous, thinking that Hu Lai was going to take advantage of the camera again. At that time, there was only one media, "Goal". The shame was only in front of one media, and the impact was still limited. Now
There are so many media, including official media. If you embarrass yourself like this, it will be a big joke...
"Practice more." Hu Lai said without looking back.
"Practice more? We have just finished practicing... Why do you want to practice more?" Mao Xiao asked suspiciously.
"Celebration."
After saying that, Hu Lai ran out, then jumped up high, turned 180 degrees in the air, crossed his hands from his chest and waved down, and then landed... He failed to maintain his balance after landing, and he kicked and kicked continuously.
He took a few steps back and fell on his back on the turf of the training ground.
But he quickly got up from the ground and continued to repeat the same action without even patting his butt.
This time he didn't rush out so fast, his take-off height wasn't that high, but he stood still when he landed.
But it was obvious that he was not satisfied with the effect. Everyone saw Hu Lai shaking his head and continuing to practice his celebration movements.
The teammates just watched Hu Lai try this celebration over and over again, and they could see that Hu Lai was not trying to act weird to attract attention in front of reporters this time, but was taking this matter very seriously.
"Why is he so obsessed with this celebration... Is there any explanation for this celebration?"
"have no idea……"
"Wow, Hu Lai is already sure that he will score a goal in the next game?"
"I think he thinks he will definitely play..."
"Doesn't that mean Luo Kai can't score?"
Someone turned their attention to Luo Kai, who was being interviewed. He was surrounded by reporters, and he really looked like a professional star.
※※※
Because there were too many media reporters who wanted to interview Luo Kai, they had to queue up, and even if they queued up, some reporters would be queued up after the training.
Sun Yonggang was the reporter who was scheduled to interview Luo Kai after training.
Seeing Luo Kai being interviewed by reporters surrounded by reporters, everyone rushing to reach out to him with microphones and pointing the camera at him, Sun Yonggang thought of Chen Xingyi.
There is no sense of disobedience in replacing Luo Kai with Chen Xingyi, because Chen Xingyi also enjoyed such treatment in the national competition last year.
After scoring twice in the first game to help Shuguang High School, which entered the national competition for the first time, eliminate the defending champion Chongwen Middle School, he quickly became the target of the media.
The officials of the national competition also promoted him as a key star.
Of course, this is also related to Chen Xingyi's good appearance.
Otherwise, even if an ugly person can score goals, he may not get such media resources.
Now judging from appearance alone, Luo Kai's appearance conditions are even better...
Sun Yonggang saw that Luo Kai was very calm when he was being interviewed by the official website of the national competition. He felt much more balanced.
This kid should be like this all the time. His expressions don't seem to change very much at ordinary times. That's good, otherwise it would be hard to imagine what it would be like for such a handsome guy to laugh so hard... Those celebrities and idols have also been captured by fans or passers-by.
Is it a scene where facial expression management fails?
Sun Yonggang smiled and looked elsewhere, and then he saw the figure making strange movements on the other side of the court.
This figure was very familiar to him. He was the young man who kept appearing in the camera lens when interviewing Luo Kai.
He has a slightly strange name, it seems to be "Hu Lai", well, he really lives up to his name.
Sun Yonggang couldn't help but laugh when he remembered what happened back then.
This random boy also scored a goal in the national competition.
So what is he doing now?
More practice?
This set of actions looks familiar... isn't this the same set of celebrations he did after scoring against Xizi Middle School?
Thinking of this, Sun Yonggang waved to the photographer who was working with him next to him: "Xiao Li, come here, let's go take a picture of him."
He pointed at Hu Lai, who was jumping up and down again and again.
※※※
Hu Lai tried to slow down when sprinting and lower the height when jumping up. Although he was able to ensure that he did not fall to the ground, he always felt that this set of movements did not have a sense of power, and he was cautious and did not have the domineering attitude of doing whatever he wanted.
It didn't look good. So he speeded up again and followed Ronaldo's template in his mind, doing the set of moves again.
As a result, he fell onto his back without any suspense.
Tsk, this action looks simple, but it’s not easy to do... It requires strong waist and abdominal strength and leg support, so as to fight against inertia.
Just when Hu Lai was summing up his experience and lessons in his mind, a face came up to him.
"Excuse me, classmate Hu Lai, what are you doing?"
He was stunned for a moment, then recognized the other person: "Ah, he is the uncle who came to our school for an interview..."
Sun Yonggang smiled and said: "My surname is Sun, you can call me Brother Sun."
"Oh, okay, Brother Sun."
"I see you jumping up and falling down again and again. What are you doing?" Sun Yonggang asked.
Hu Lai got up from the ground and said to Sun Yonggang: "I'm practicing celebrations."
"Practice...celebrations?" Sun Yonggang really guessed it.
"Well, I have never successfully done this set of celebrations. I want to practice it seriously, so that when the game comes, I may be able to complete it successfully after I score a goal? In fact, this set of celebrations is very handsome.
, Brother Sun. Just jump up, then turn around in the air, stand firm when you land, wave your hands back, and reveal the number on the back - Brother Sun, don't you think that last move is explosive?"
Sun Yonggang thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Sorry, judging from the demonstration actions you showed..."
Hu Lai was a little depressed: "That's because I didn't do it well. When I do it, if you look at it again, it will definitely explode!"
Hu Lai is very confident about this, because this celebration has been imitated and sought after by countless people in that world, and the effect is naturally incredible.
However, Sun Yonggang did not dwell on the topic of celebrations, but shifted to Hu Lai's goal in the national competition: "Student Hu Lai, you scored a goal in your first national competition, do you feel very lucky?
"
Hu Lai stared and asked, "Why should I feel so lucky? Isn't this a reflection of my strength?"
Sun Yonggang said in his heart that Luo Kai attracted all the defensive players with that ball. Can you easily catch the ball and shoot in a space with no defensive players at all? What kind of strength does this ball show?
However, he did not destroy the young man's self-esteem. Instead, he changed his words with a smile: "Yes, it's strength. So, classmate Hu Lai, what are your prospects for the future?"
"I want to be a professional player!" Hu Lai clenched his fists and said with his head held high.
"..." Sun Yonggang almost failed to control his expression. He originally just wanted to ask Hu Lai what goals he had for his performance in this national competition.
Who wants to ask you about your career plan?
Wait...career plan? You just scored a goal in the national competition, and you are thinking about participating in a professional competition? Yes, that's right, starting from this national competition, there will be scouts from professional football clubs coming
Watch the game live and keep an eye out for the youngsters who are showing great talent...
But there are very few people who can actually be selected to play in a professional team. Such a "privilege" only belongs to players like Chen Xingyi. Even in Dongchuan Middle School, Sun Yonggang feels that only Luo Kai has the possibility of being selected by a professional football team.
Team photo.
You kid said you want to play professional football...you're not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue?

While Sun Yonggang was having a conversation with Hu Lai, the photographer kept circling around and taking pictures.
