Chapter 55: Manipulation of fate

It is not just Hu Lai who is concerned about the results of the UEFA Champions League group draw.
When Zhou Zijing saw the two keywords "Madrid Pirates" and "Group G" appearing on the TV, he jumped up from the sofa excitedly and waved his fists vigorously!
"Ha! Beautiful! So beautiful!"
Morikawa Junpei was also very excited by his side-after being teammates with Hu Lai for so long, he finally achieved his original goal: to be Hu Lai's opponent!
Why did Hu Lai firmly persuade Hu Lai to leave when he was considering leaving Leeds?
Because he knew that only when Hulay left Leeds, could he be the closest opponent to him.
After all, compared with Hu Lai, after I want to leave Leeds, the chance of being able to compete with Hu Lai is really too low.
He continued to stay in Leeds, but when Hulay went to other teams, he would always meet.
But he didn't expect to meet so quickly.
He thought he might wait a few more seasons...
He can afford to wait, but if the day of reunion on the court comes sooner, he would be happy to see it happen.
Compared with the two people who want to compete with Hu Lai, the other people in Leeds reacted differently to this result and felt complicated.
Especially Pete Williams.
Girlfriend Delphine Isabella turned to see her boyfriend frowning, and asked, "Why are you looking like this?"
"Honestly, Delphine, I don't want to meet Hu in the group stage..."
"Why? You don't want to meet him again? Aren't you friends?"
"We are indeed friends, but this does not mean that I want to meet him in the game, or that I want to see him in the Champions League. This season I hope I can lead the team to the Champions League knockouts, but Hu is not the same People who are easy to deal with..." Pete explained. "This group...too difficult to play."
In addition to themselves, Leeds City is in Group G, as well as the Madrid Pirates and Ruhr Rhein, as well as the Ukrainian giants Kiev.
It can be said that the two teams of Madrid Pirates and Ruhr Rhein are both big favorites when they are placed in other groups. If their two teams are on the same team, they basically have two qualifying places.
The remaining two teams can only compete for eligibility for the Europa League knockout rounds.
It is very difficult for Leeds City to compete with these two teams.
Especially this season they still lack Hu Lai.
At the same time Hu Lai went to Madrid pirates...
The competition has not started, Leeds has already fallen in the clash between the two teams.
Unlike Zhou Zijing and Morikawa Junpei, who are full of brains to challenge strong opponents, as the team’s deputy captain and will officially serve as the team’s first captain next season, Pete Williams will consider more of the team. Interests.
If Leeds can get the right to qualify for the Champions League group stage, he doesn't mind being assigned to the weakest group and encountering the weakest opponent, the less challenging the better.
Hulai has left the team, and Pete shoulders the important task of leading the team to move forward.
The most important thing is that the team can go further in the Champions League. Compared with that, personal hobbies are not worth mentioning.

"Awesome! I suspect that God heard my previous prayer!"
In the "White Rose" bar, David Miller and his friends are watching the live broadcast of the UEFA Champions League group draw on TV.
When they saw the Madrid Pirates and Leeds City draw a group, everyone cheered.
They didn't think about the probability of qualifying for Leeds City's group. They are all in their heads now-they are going back to the Flanders Stadium!
"Hu! Hu!" Levin announced loudly, "I'll leave it here! Even if Hu scores after returning to Flanders, I will cheer for him!"
"But he won't celebrate..."
"To be honest, I want him to celebrate..." John Falkingham said.
"Why?" Everyone turned their puzzled eyes to John.
"Have you not watched the last home game of the Pirates? After Hu scored, the Pirate fans didn't respond, just like wooden people! They watched Hu make his signature celebration gesture from the stands, and then... ...I didn't make that shout." John said, "So I hope to wait until they are a guest in Flanders, after Hu scores a goal, then we will make his celebration, and then we will teach the Spaniards how to celebrate Hu correctly. Goal!"
After John finished speaking, he looked at his dumbfounded friends in the bar, and asked, "Do you think what I said is wrong?"
David Miller was the first to react: "No, I think what you said makes sense, John. To be honest, I just watched two pirates games, and they almost tasted. Although those Spanish people like Hu very much, they Compared to us, it is obviously far behind. So we need to educate them!"
"You guys are talking hot here, but how could Hu celebrate after scoring a goal against us? He was not the son of Sean Barnett..."
Someone wakes them up with a single word.
Everyone realized this after being surprised.
With Hulay’s feelings for Leeds, how could he celebrate even if he really scored?
But if he doesn't celebrate, how can we cooperate with him?
John broke the silence: "Then tell him, rest assured and celebrate boldly. We won't blame him for his celebration!"
"How to tell him? Do you have Hu's contact information?"
"I didn't. But there must be a way..." John didn't think about it either, but he knew this thing must be done.
After watching the pirates match Hu Lai scored a goal, there was no shout, just like watching football without drinking beer, I always feel unhappy.
"HUUUUU!" was invented by Leeds City fans. They hope to extend it to other places. In the future, as long as Hu Lai scores, he should hear this roar.
The Chinese fans have learned well, they have already started shouting like this after Hu Lai scored.
The Spanish fans have obviously not realized that this is a precious tradition.
Hu's name should spread all over the world with his goals!

At the pre-match press conference of the European Super Cup between Leeds and Blue and White Munich, Tony Clark raised his hand and said to reporters: "Let’s not talk about Hu and the Madrid Pirates. Our opponent in this game is Blue and White Munich. Please respect it, thank you!"
After the reporters laughed, they respected Clark's wishes and did not mention to him the reunion with Hu Lai in the pre-match press conference.
They don't have to wait too long anyway-on September 28th, in the second round of the Champions League group stage, Leeds will face the challenge of the Madrid Pirates at home.
That day was also the day when Hu Lai returned to the Flanders Stadium.
The same situation also happened in far away Madrid, Spain.
Hu Lai refused to answer questions about returning to Flanders outside the training base:
"What is it like playing against the former team? Sorry, I only consider Sebastia, my opponent in the next round of the league. They are not easy to deal with. I have to go all out and not be distracted."
Since he has said so, of course the reporters will not embarrass Hu Lai.
Especially Chinese journalists, they all know that Hu Lai is responsible for the traffic of Chinese football. There is no need to offend him or make him unhappy, otherwise he won’t be able to interview him in the future. If his career ends early, it’s a huge one. The shortcomings.
For example, the football reporter in Dashun, named Qin Bo, was because he helped Wang Xianke wash the ground in the grievances between Hu Lai and Wang Xianke, but now he can't get any chance to interview Hu Lai.
Although Hu Lai didn't say it clearly, it is also true that Qin Bo's media could not interview him.
It's just that Hu Lai rejected him. The international players who had good relations with Hu Lai also refused to accept Qin Bo's interview in any form.
As a result, Qin Bo, a dignified football reporter, has no media unit to dare to ask him, and now he can only do self-media on the Internet.
But anyway, he didn’t get the right to interview a group of international footballers. He was a little bit shattered. He was one of the few people who firmly criticized Hu Lai on the Internet. He also attracted a group of diehard fans and found his own "wealth." password".
After all, no one can win everyone's likes, not even Hu Lai.
He said to Wang Xianke that "see once and play once", before he could do it, someone criticized him, "Why do you see once and play once? Do you really think you won't lose?"
After he really did it, they criticized Hu Lai for "no demeanor, aggressive, and small-minded like the eye of a needle. No matter how successful such a person is in football, he is also a villain in character!"
So don't think that Hu Lai is now the hope of Chinese football, and no one will hack him. There is also a lot of black material about Hu Lai on the Internet, especially after the essence of his being a was exposed, those black Hu Lai people even came to the front, as if found a fair reason to attack Hu Lai, occupying The moral high ground.
As long as Qin Bo can gather the attention of these people, he can also win living space on the Internet.
It can be said to be a new path in the fiercely competitive self-media battlefield, to create a new track, to reach the tipping point through differentiation and granulation, to analyze the pain points of target users, to penetrate the minds of users, and to use their own popularity and traffic to bring goods for themselves, thereby Form an ecological closed loop...
"Hu, we noticed an interesting phenomenon..." a Spanish reporter asked. "You have scored goals in your first three games after joining Leeds City. So in your first three games with the Madrid Pirates, can you still maintain the momentum of scoring every game?"
Hu Lai glanced at the Spanish journalist, and said that you are really thoughtful. You noticed just one precedent...
And you guessed it!
Why can you score consecutive goals in the first three games? Because I have a [Lingxi Card], how wasteful is it not to squeeze out the value of the plug-in?
But this can’t be said, Hu Lai smiled slightly:
Of course I hope I can score a goal. Any striker will think so. But I don’t know if I can score a goal. I won’t know until the game is over... I can only guarantee. The thing is, I will go all out to score goals in the game."

"Although Hu was very humble and low-key in the interview before the game~EbookFREE.me~, he was like a very hungry lion in the game. He was constantly trying to hit the plug from the first minute of the game. Bastia’s goal! He scored a goal for the Madrid Pirates in the first half... and now he is here again!"
With the exclamation of the Spanish commentator Sanchez, Hulay led the ball from Tonini into the penalty area with the outside of his left foot.
Then he lifted his left foot and made a shot.
When the deceived defensive player stretched his foot to block, he buckled the football back with his left foot, replaced it with his right foot, rubbed an arc, and shot the far corner!
Sebastia's goalkeeper swooped, but still failed to touch the football.
The ball spins the goal!
"Pretty!! Hu!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!" Sanchez prolonged his voice and shouted, "A brace! He helped the Pirates take the lead again 2:1 away! He has already scored in the first three games of the Pirates in Madrid! Six goals! Two goals per game, amazing efficiency! His right foot is hot!"
