Chapter 19: that name

Hu Lai finally got rid of Sauron Gribusch's entanglement.
He went straight to his coach, Parrotti, who was the "square" of the Madrid Pirates.
But he was stopped by Parrotti: "What are you doing, Hu?"
The old Italian looked at him with a smile.
"I want to sit..." Hu Lai pointed to the chair.
"Do you see your name on the back?" Parrotti patted the back of the seat.
Hu Lai turned his head to look, there really wasn't any!
"Uh..." He was stunned for a moment.
"Your seat is in the front." Parrotti pointed to the front. "This year's awards ceremony has been changed, and ten men and women Golden Globe candidates will go to the front and sit at the front."
Hu Lai looked over and saw Li Qingqing sitting in the first row of seats.
"Sorry sorry..." Hu Lai apologized to the head coach, turned around and left.
"You don't need to apologize to me... Ha!" Behind him, Parrotti laughed.
When Hu Lai went to the front row to find his seats one by one, Li Qingqing stared at him from his seat until he walked in front of him.
"Yo, what a coincidence, you are here too." Hu Lai pretended to greet Li Qingqing.
"Your seat is there." Li Qingqing pointed to the direction about four seats away from her.
"Thank you, thank you!" Hu Lai said goodbye to his girlfriends and went to them one by one. Sure enough, he saw his name brand behind the chair.
Then he curiously looked at who the seat next to him belonged to.
"Merry Banega"
Well, UEFA, you are a real dog...
Look at the other side:
"Mark Becker"
UEFA you are a real dog × 2
Hu Lai looked at the empty seats and really wanted to move his seat to Li Qingqing's side. It's not that I'm afraid of the two around me, but I don't want to let UEFA's dog tricks... tricks succeed.
But just as he was about to put it into practice, a curious voice sounded beside him:
"What are you doing, Hu?"
Hu Lai, who had just raised his chair, turned around and saw Kabangka with a puzzled face.
And because of Kabangka's voice, the people around him cast their gazes at him. Everyone looked at Hu Lai, who was holding the chair, and stopped talking.
This also includes Li Qingqing.
Hu Lai grinned: "Uh, I think this chair is heavy... Ha."
Then he put his chair down again, and clapped his hands: "It's okay, it's a little heavy."
Kabangka had a weird smile on his face: "Don't you want to be caught between Merry and Becker?"
"Bullshit!"
Hu Lai scolded him righteously, and then he reckoned with old and new accounts: "I was calling you outside just now, why did you pretend to ignore it?"
The smile on Kabonka's face froze, and then he asked suspiciously, "Yes? Did you call me just now? Ah, sorry, Hu. I didn't hear it at all."
"Hehe, stop pretending. As soon as I called you, you sped away. Obviously you're afraid of facing Gribusch."
Kabangka retorted: "Aren't you afraid of him too?"
"Hey, who said I was afraid of him? Didn't you see me chatting and laughing with him? I called you, and I just wanted to ask you to join us in our pleasant chat."
Kabang Kapi smiled but said, "Is he trying to persuade you to join Blue and White Munich in the future?"
"I rejected him."
"Don't worry, he won't give up easily. Don't you know that Soren Gribusch has a nickname called 'Rubber Glue'? Don't want to get rid of it easily when he sticks it on it," Kabangka said.
Hu Lai frowned slightly: "I thought that the nickname was to describe his defense on the field and it was a headache..."
"Of course not. He's not a defensive midfielder. It's a nickname that came up with the guy he's got a lot of trouble with."
Hu Lai thought about Gribusch's tenacity in persuading people to join Blue and White Munich, and nodded in agreement.
"But if you are really tired of staying in La Liga in the future, you can really consider going to Blue and White Munich. If you really want to collect the five major league titles..." Kabonka said.
Hu Lai reacted: "After talking for a long time, are you waiting for me here? I went to Germany, how are you in Spain?"
Kabangka smiled slightly: "You think too much, Hu. Do you know why I came to Catalonia from Manchester Athletic?"
"Because you want to be abused?"
Kabangka rolled his eyes at Hu Lai, didn't bother to talk to him any more, and left with just one sentence:
"See you in the third round of the league."
In the third round of the league, the Madrid Pirates will face the Catalan United at home.

The cameras swept across the players in the first row.
He Feng introduced to everyone: "These are the players who were selected for the final 10 shortlist for the men's and women's Golden Globe Awards. They all hope to compete for the Golden Globe Award..."
Every player in the camera is smiling.
It was only when he arrived at Hu Lai that the style of painting suddenly changed a little - he covered his mouth with his hands, and was talking to Merry with his head tilted.
"Hu Lai is communicating with Meli. It seems that the relationship between the two of them is quite good. It is not as tense as the rumors from the outside world..."
In the camera, Merry kept a polite smile. When the camera moved away from him, he covered his mouth with his hand, frowned and asked Hu Lai, "What are you doing?"
"Ah? Don't I want to show the public that we have a good relationship? Do you want to see our fans scold and scold on the Internet every day?"
Merry was speechless.
Of course he knew that his fans and Hu Lai's fans didn't deal with it, but he really didn't want to cover it up like that.
"Or do you really hate me too?" Hu Lai asked again when he saw that he was silent.
"It's not a liking anyway," Merry said.
"That's normal. I didn't expect you to like me, didn't I? But you have to do it on the surface. You can see that I had a good laugh with Kabangka just now, and it didn't prevent us from breaking our heads in the game, right?"
Merry felt that Hu Lai was right, so he nodded in agreement.
There is a distinction between off-field and off-field.
"Very well, we've agreed on this. I really want to shake hands with you on the spot to mark this moment."
Merry also smiled.
He felt that Hu Lai off the court looked much cuter than Hu Lai on the court.
"So I've always had a question, Merry, can I ask you?"
"what is the problem?"
"Just look...you're twenty-six years old, why don't you even have a girlfriend?"
"..."
The smile on Meili's face froze, and now he feels that Hu Lai off the court is 10,000 times more annoying than Hu Lai on the court!
He turned his head away, ignoring the nuisance.
He Feng looked at Hu Lai, who was chatting with Meili in the broadcast, and said with emotion: "The two of them are still talking, and they are chatting so happily, I really wonder what they are talking about... Ha! Such a harmonious scene is really rare. !"
※※※
The grand finale of the ceremony was the unveiling of the men's and women's Golden Globes.
There is no suspense in the women's football team, and Li Qingqing has won this honor for two consecutive years.
She has led the King of Madrid women's team to a "Triple Crown" of achievements this past season - the Women's Western Super League, the Women's Copa del Rey and the Women's UEFA Champions League.
It can be said that in the women's football world, she is a well-deserved number one superstar.
When accepting the award, she thanked her as usual, but in the end she didn't say "Hu Lai, I'm waiting for you here" like last year.
"What does this mean? It means we don't have to wait! This year's Golden Globes must be our son's!"
Xie Lan in front of the TV patted her thigh excitedly.
After the Women's Ballon d'Or, it's time to hand out the heaviest award.
Xie Lan sat upright in front of the TV and muttered, "I'm coming, I'm coming..."
On the TV, He Feng was also saying: "The next thing to be announced is the winner of the 2028-2029 European Ballon d'Or men's football... I know that this moment is what everyone is looking forward to the most. Compared with Li Qingqing's no suspense, the male The feet are a little different..."
The scene began to broadcast a short film composed of some highlights from last season of ten candidates.
After the short film was played, the names and photos of the ten candidates appeared side by side on the big screen.
The photos of three of them were enlarged, and in the end only three of them were left occupying the entire big screen.
This is the player selected for the final three list, they have been confirmed to receive a trophy, the only suspense is the quality of the trophy.
The three who entered the final "final circle" this year were Hulai, who played for the Madrid Pirates, Meli Banega, who played for the King of Madrid, and Mark Becker, who played for the Blue and White Munich.
Kabangka failed to make the final three-man list due to his mediocre performance last season.
He's been out of the top three at the European Ballon d'Or for two years in a row, and it's time to make some changes.
"This year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony is different from previous years, and some adjustments have been made." He Feng said.
Last year, after the short film was released, the names and photos of ten people were frozen on the big screen.
Until the host announces all the winning results, there will be only three photos left on the big screen.
Now, in this way, the suspense of which three people will definitely win the trophy has been revealed in advance, so that everyone can focus on the quality of the trophy.
Last year, Chinese fans were worried that Hu Lai might not be in the top three, but now there is no such worry.
But there are still people who worry that Hu Lai won't win the Golden Globe...
He Feng still said: "This is the second consecutive year that Hu Lai has entered the top three of the Golden Globe Awards. Let's not talk about the final result, it also shows that Hu Lai is already a top player in the world..."
As the host re-emerged from the side of the stage with the envelope, the telecast showed a close-up of the envelope in his hand.
Everyone knows that the attribution of the Golden Globes is written there.
"I really want to review the performance of these three players last season, but I know that everyone is not interested in listening to me on stage, so I will be straightforward..." The host pointed with a smile. Pointing to the big screen behind him, he opened the envelope in front of everyone.
He looked at the opened envelope in his hand, and instead of saying the name immediately, he paused.
This pause stopped the breathing of many fans in front of the TV~EbookFREE.me~ The TV broadcast gave Hu Lai, Merry and Becker a close-up shot of the three together.
The expressions of the three people in the camera are not tense, and they are relatively natural.
Maybe it's because the suspense is really not very big, and the host's deliberately intriguing practice is useless to the three of them.
Their performance last season was seen by everyone, and they themselves had no idea whether they could win the award.
If a player who has scored 95 goals in a single season (calculated according to the statistical standards of European media) cannot win the European Ballon d'Or, how can this award be qualified to flaunt its authority and fairness?
After a short deliberate pause, the host smiled and read the name out:
"Hu-Lai!"
