Chapter 200: The New and Old Controversy

After Luo Kai arrived in Manchester, he took all the Chinese media in Leeds away, making the Leeds City training base suddenly seem much quieter.
These media rushed to report on the signing ceremony between Roquet and Tramed, just as they gathered at the Leeds training base to report and record the signing of Hulay and Leeds.
For Chinese football, these are the two footprints of the Long March.
It must be recorded.
In the future, they will be precious historical materials of Chinese football.
Taking into account the enthusiasm of the Chinese media and the huge Chinese market, Tramed Club specially arranged a joining ceremony for Luo Kai alone.
Luo Kai, wearing a Tramede jersey, was on the red top court, holding Tramed's scarf to show the reporters present.
With a smile on his face, he stood with Tramed's first team coach Kevin Locke.
People who don’t know thought that Luo Kai was going to register directly with Tramed's first team...
In fact, he just came here to sign and make a good appearance, and soon he will go to the Dutch town of Volendam, where the team Veronica is his real base.
After the joining ceremony, Chinese reporters left Tramed.
This day happens to be Christmas in the West. There are colorful lights hung on the streets and beautiful Christmas trees everywhere. There are people coming and going in the shops on the street, and you can hear the Christmas songs coming out of it when you push the door in and out.
When the reporters saw the strong festive atmosphere on the street, the corners of their mouths twitched, and a warm current surged in their hearts:
Hulay has gained a firm foothold in Leeds City, and Luo Kai has joined the giant Tramed as he wished. Our national team also scored in the World Cup for the first time...
Chinese football is bound to have a bright future!

When everyone was paying attention to Roquet’s tight transfer, the Premier League played two more rounds in a week.
In the nineteenth round of the league, Leeds defeated Sidham 2:1 at home, winning the league for six consecutive victories.
This is Leeds City's longest winning streak in the Premier League.
In the twentieth round of the league, Leeds City drew with London Bridge 1:1 away.
Their six consecutive victories were ended in this round of the league.
In the two rounds of the league, Hu Lai failed to score in the game. Counting the eighteenth round of the league, Leeds defeated Holt 3:1 away. This was his three consecutive games without scoring.
In fact, this is not a big deal. After all, it is very common for many players not to score in three consecutive games.
However, when the Korean media reported the game after the game, they focused on the matter. It seemed that apart from Hu Lai’s failure to score three consecutive rounds, the game between Leeds City and London Bridge was lacklustre, and there was nothing to say. Of it.
They deliberately highlighted the fact that Hu Lai did not score a goal, and hyped that it was already three consecutive rounds of misfire in the league, which made people think that Hu Lai really encountered the biggest crisis in his career:
"... In the current round of the Premier League focus game that ended yesterday, Leeds City drew 1:1 with London Bridge. Although they did not lose, Leeds City's leading striker Hulay suffered a setback and he was unable to play in the game for a long time. To score a goal, it's as if you can't find the shooting boots...Finally, because of Hulay's sluggish state, Leeds City failed to win away opponents..."
If there are those who don’t pay attention to what happened in this game, and only rely on reports to understand Hu Lai’s current situation, then they will definitely think that Hu Lai’s performance in the game is very bad, and maybe they have lost the lead. The coach’s trust, even the starting qualifications have to be lost...
But in fact, Hu Lai, who was called so serious by the Korean media, only failed to score in three consecutive games.
Only after their interpretation, this very common thing seems to hide a very big hidden danger:
"This is the first time that Hulai has not scored in two consecutive rounds and more than two league rounds this season. Before, he always scored consecutive goals and lost at most one game in the middle... Although this is the first time, for Hu Lai, who is on the scorer list, may indicate that his physical fitness and form will inevitably decline as the schedule is halfway through. The exaggerated state like the first half of the season will no longer exist... What's more terrifying is that he is used to it. Fans who have scored consecutive goals from Hu Lai will criticize Hu Lai's current state of depression? Will it bring huge pressure to Hu Lai? Under such internal and external troubles, will Hu Lai's own mentality change? So don’t underestimate the fact of not scoring goals in three consecutive rounds. This may be a sign of collapse...
Listen, how stupid this is to say. But the South Korean reporter wrote it out in such a stately media.
It seems that Korean fans really believe in these nonsense...
Well, there are many Korean fans who really believe it.
They ran to Hu Lai’s official social media account to mock Hu Lai:
"I heard you are going to crash?"
"Experts analyze that Hu Lai will fall into a complete collapse next week!"
Provoked many Chinese fans over the wall to scold them:
"Three consecutive rounds of the league will collapse without scoring? Then your family Park Chun-tae will collapse into powder, right?"
"I thought that such a mentally handicapped statement would not be recognized by baseball fans, but now that I was wrong, I really can't overestimate the IQ of the stick..."
"To be honest, the stick media advocated that Hu Lai didn't score goals for three consecutive rounds. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this statement was simply untenable. To them, it was just for the disgusting."
"Then why doesn't our media write an article about Park Chun Tae's failure to score five consecutive league matches?"
"Hey, our media still needs to show off..."
"What? Our media want a face?!"
...
Every time after Hu Lai and Park Chuntae fight, there will be this kind of "war" between Chinese and Korean fans on the Internet.
Although it has been a long time since Chinese fans and South Korean fans have been dissatisfied with each other. Chinese fans dislike South Korea mainly because of football, while South Korean fans dislike China because of China itself.
But it is still very rare to be so fierce as it is now.
This is mainly because the match between Hu Lai and Park Chuntai means the replacement of old and new forces in Asia.
In this kind of transition between the old and the new, the old forces are often not willing to give up their positions, and they will always organize counterattacks in an attempt to stifle the new forces in the cradle.
So every change between the old and the new has its cruel side.
The 30-year-old Park Chun-tae is in his prime. In the hearts of South Korean fans and the media, he can continue to dominate Asian football for a long time.
What did not think of the sudden emergence of China's Hu Lai, and soon caught up. This makes the Koreans feel tremendous pressure.
And it's not just the rise of Hulai, Luo Kai's recent move to Tramed has also stimulated South Korean fans.
Chinese young players have gone abroad one after another. What about our own young players?
Piao Guixian, the unbelievable fellow, is still fooling around in the country!
It's shameful!
The younger generation of Japanese and Chinese players are in Europe. Why can't the best of our young players make it to the country? !
As a result, there were a lot of criticisms against Piao Guixian on the Internet, scolding him for not making progress, scolding him for being arrogant, scolding him for short-sightedness...
There are all kinds of scolding, and the scolding is as ugly as it is.
This made Pu Guixian, who was suddenly scolded, confused. He didn't understand which evil force he was offending...

Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that the South Korean media hyped Hu Lai for three consecutive rounds of goals for disgusting people, it doesn't explain anything at all.
But always can't hold back someone will think too much.
After all, three consecutive league rounds of not scoring goals have never happened to Hu Lai this season~EbookFREE.me~.
Was it really guessed by the Koreans?
Is it true that the national team and the club are fighting in two lines, making him too tired, so the state is sluggish?
Does head coach Tony Clark really lose faith in Hulai, who has not scored for three consecutive rounds?
You must know that Hulai scored in these three league rounds, which happened to be the most intensive time of the Christmas season. The 18th league on December 21st, the 19th league on the 27th, and the second league on the 30th. Ten rounds.
Playing three games in ten days, Hu Lai’s body fatigue is also normal...
Under such circumstances, on Friday, January 2, 2026, Leeds City welcomed their opponent in the 21st round of the league, the North London Rangers.
To those fans who are worried that Hu Lai will lose the trust of the head coach, rest assured that Hu Lai was not only selected for the big squad in this game, but also was selected for the starting list without any suspense.
In the pre-match press conference, Clark also specifically pointed out: "...Hulay is still an important member of the team, as long as he is not injured, I will let him play."
This answer can be regarded as a reassurance for those who like crazy thinking.
But if you really want them to put their heart back in their stomachs, they still have to look at Hu Lai's performance in the game.
It's normal not to score a goal in three consecutive rounds, it's not a big deal. But if there are more consecutive games without scoring, then maybe the situation predicted by the Korean stick will really become a reality...
Never let the stick succeed!
Every Chinese fan thinks so in his heart.
