When the Chinese Olympic team and the Chinese women's national football team took the same flight back to the Chinese capital from Seoul, the leaders and head coaches of the two teams were told that there were media and

The fans gathered specifically to welcome them.

The airport asked them who should leave first and who should leave last.

But the leaders of the two teams met to discuss it and finally decided to go together.

We got off the plane together, picked up our checked luggage together, and then appeared in front of reporters and fans together.

In the past, there were not many such scenes in the East Asian Cup. The men's team and the women's team always played separately. Especially when the results of the two teams were different. If the women's football team performed well, then the women's football team would be glorious. If the men's team and the women's football team were together, wouldn't it?

Awkward?

The same goes for vice versa.

After all, both the media and fans will cheer and lay flowers when they see a team that achieves good results.

But this honor naturally does not belong to the team that does not perform well. If two teams play at the same time, will it be embarrassing for those who present flowers? Are the cheering people feeling uncomfortable? Players who do not perform well

Will it cause pantothenic acid?

But things are different today.

Whether it is women's football or men's football, the Chinese team has achieved good results in this East Asian Cup and won the championship together!

This situation has never happened in previous East Asian Cups.

The Chinese men's and women's teams actually won the championship at the same time.

It is precisely because of such results that the leaders of the two teams have the confidence to make such a decision.

Let everyone appear in front of media reporters and fans.

In this way, after the players from the two teams picked up their luggage at the luggage carousel, they lined up again. The men's team went to the left and the women's team went to the right. The captains of both teams walked in front holding the trophy, filed out, and appeared together in front of reporters.

and in front of the fans.

Their appearance caused a huge cheer to erupt in the airport terminal.

Immediately arrangements were made to present flowers to the players, coaches and leaders of both teams.

Then the leaders of the Football Association who came to pick them up delivered a speech, welcoming the two teams back with great honors.

During the trophy display, it was originally the captains of the two teams holding the trophy for reporters to take pictures, but this time someone among the reporters shouted: "We can let Li Qingqing and Hu Lai hold the East Asian Cup trophies of the women's team and the men's team together."

Shadow?"

His proposal was immediately approved by other photojournalists.

After all, in this East Asian Cup, Li Qingqing and Hu Lai were the best players of the women's team and the men's team respectively, and the reason why their respective teams were able to win the championship trophy is inseparable from their outstanding performance.

Li Qingqing is the core player of the Chinese women's national football team. She scored two goals and assisted one goal in this East Asian Cup. She herself won the best player of this East Asian Cup women's football match.

As the starting forward of the Olympic team, Hu Lai scored in every game and scored five goals in total. While helping the team win the East Asian Cup, he also won the top spot in this East Asian Cup with these five goals.

Top scorer and best player awards.

It can be said that if we want to choose representatives from these two teams, then both of them are well-deserved.

The reporters made this suggestion, and the fans at the scene followed suit.

The captains of the two teams also had no objections. Needless to say, Li Qingqing, Hu Lai's popularity in the Olympic team was also quite good after this East Asian Cup. Everyone was convinced that he was allowed to take the limelight. After all, without him,

The Chinese team may not win the championship at all.

So just like that, amid everyone's cheers, Hu Lai and Li Qingqing walked out of the team.

One of them wore a navy blue wool suit from the Chinese Olympic team, and the other wore a beige cashmere woolen coat from the Chinese women's national football team. They received the East Asian Cup trophy from their respective captains.

Then stand in front of the reporters' cameras.

In front of them, there was a semi-encirclement of three layers of reporters. The reporters on the first layer were sitting on the ground with their cameras, the reporters on the second layer were kneeling on one knee and holding up their cameras, and the reporters on the third layer were supporting the cameras on tripods.

Camera reporters from various TV stations.

The dark camera was pointed at them, shining with a faint light.

"Hey, you two come closer..."

"That's right, you're standing too far away, get closer, get closer..."

The photographers directed the two people to stand in the middle.

"Put the trophy on the outside hand, otherwise it will block your faces... Hey, that's good!"

"Shoulders to shoulders, no gaps, yes, that's it!"

"Keep smiling, smile happily, you are the best players to win the championship!"

Watching the two figures getting closer and closer, in the crowd behind them, Wang Zijian murmured to himself: "Damn, this is the first time I envy Hu Lai so much!"

"Me too, me too..."

"I also……"

In their repeated whispers, the photographers in front pressed the shutter. The sound of the shutter was like continuous applause, and the flashes flashed together.

The image of the two best players standing side by side holding the trophy is fixed in everyone's memory.

It won't be long before this photo and scene will appear in major media, appear on TV screens, appear on the Internet, and be spread at the speed of light.

In the future, someone will name this photo: "The golden boy and girl of Chinese football share the same frame for the first time."

But they didn’t know, and everyone didn’t know, that this was actually the second photo of the two of them.

Guan Xinyan looked at this photo on his phone.

In the photo, Li Qingqing smiles like a flower, and the light reflected on the trophy makes her face even brighter and more attractive.

So beautiful...

This was really the picture he had been imagining in his mind.

Of course, you have to replace the person next to you with yourself.

He turned his attention to Hu Lai, who was standing next to Li Qingqing.

This guy……

After the game against South Korea, Guan Xinyan asked himself many times, if he had been in the game at that time, could he have completed a hat trick? Could he have helped the Chinese team break the "Korean phobia" of not defeating South Korea for 41 years?

"?

After thinking about it again and again, even though Guan Xinyan was reluctant to admit it, he had to admit that if it were him, he couldn't do it.

Let alone him, before that day's game, no one in the entire history of Chinese football could score a hat trick against the South Korean team.

Even if there was luck in Hulay's goal, it cannot simply be attributed to good luck.

Now he no longer thinks about whether Director Shi Wuyuan recruited Hu Lai instead of himself in order to make concessions to Hu Lai.

It doesn't matter if it is.

The reality is that Hu Lai has replaced him to some extent.

But...it doesn't matter, the new season has just begun. Before the U23 Asian Cup early next year, I still have a whole season to show everyone what I can do.

I don't need to score a hat trick against South Korea, I just need to prove that I can score more goals in the Chinese Super League than Hu Lai in the Chinese League One!

Luo Kai pressed and held his finger on the photo of Hu Lai and Li Qingqing, and in the pop-up window, he chose the option to save the original picture.

After successfully saving, he opened it again, clicked on the picture editing function, then cut the picture in half, and very carefully cut out the Hu Lai beside Li Qingqing.

Then the picture on the right side of Li Qingqing was cut off, and finally there was only a single photo of Li Qingqing in a vertical composition. Except that Li Qingqing's left hand side was close to the edge of the photo, which looked unnatural, it was perfect.

Especially the smile on Li Qingqing's face.

Smiling so happily.

Finally, after reviewing the results of his editing, Luo Kai saved the modified picture.

In this way, he got a solo photo of Li Qingqing.

Then he uploaded the photo to the cloud. Even if his phone accidentally dropped one day, he didn't have to worry about losing the photo.

After doing all this, he put away his mobile phone and got up to go out to the training base.

Three rounds of the Chinese League One have started. He has had two chances to come on as a substitute and scored a goal - he finally scored the first league goal of his career.

The team's head coach Pan Hongwei also personally talked to him and told him that if he continues to maintain this state, his playing time will be greatly increased.

This makes Luo Kai full of confidence in his future.

This season he came to the Chinese League One specifically to face off against Hu Lai.

No matter how good the Olympic team performs, it is only temporary. Only the league is the foundation. As long as you perform well in the league, you will still be called by the national team.

So...the counterattack starts from now on, Hu Lai!
