Fox in the Penalty Area

v1 Chapter 1: Hu Lai and Li Qingqing's Football Museum

Chapter 1998 Hu Lai and Li Qingqing's Football Museum

In the camera, the back of a tall girl is bouncing in front of her.

The black hair like a waterfall flicked back and forth with her steps, very elegant.

"Look here, everyone. On the left hand side of the main entrance of the museum, there is a special outdoor area. This area is a 'secret base' that is completely reproduced on a 1:1 scale! The 'secret training base' where the road started! It's the 'Wei Mo' that started in Wei Mo!"

The girl's excited voice was recorded through the wireless bluetooth microphone on her collar, and then transmitted to the photographer's earphone.

The girl in the camera is introducing the area she points to, with a bright and moving profile.

The photographer pushed up the lens of the camera and took a close-up of the girl's face from a telephoto perspective.

In the close-up shot, the girl seemed to have a sense of something. She turned her head to look at the camera. She was taken aback for a moment, then frowned: "Old Li! Why are you photographing me? Photograph the place I pointed to!"

"Ah? Ah...Sorry, sorry, I want to take some shots of you, fan benefits..." Li Qingliang argued.

"Fufu! What everyone wants to see is not me, but Hu Lai and Li Qingqing's museum!" Han Shuyu said angrily, "Waste my expressions and saliva! Do it again!"

Li Qingliang said: "You don't need to start over again, just continue what you said just now, and I will help you in the later stage."

Han Shuyu insisted on his own opinion: "No, the emotions are not coherent..."

"Oh well…"

Li Qingliang started shooting again, and gave Han Shuyu an OK gesture.

"Everyone look this way!"

Han Shuyu pointed to the left.

This time the camera lens turned obediently.

A courtyard surrounded by three blue stone and red brick walls appears in the shot.

On the blue-striped stone wall facing the camera, there is a crooked white line, which frames a "goal" on the blue-black stone wall.

The three walls and the dense grass at the corners surrounded a dirt clearing.

"This is the 1:1 replica of Hu Lai's 'secret training base'. Hu Lai started his football career in this seemingly dilapidated and dilapidated place. According to his own account, he was alone in the Here he is playing against the 'goal' on the wall. The uneven wall will always make the rebound direction of the football he kicked unpredictable, and it will also increase the difficulty for him to catch the ball...I think Hu Lai is a god-level player. His off-ball running, maybe it is practiced here day after day?"

Han Shuyu continued to introduce.

"This re-enacted secret base actually has some small easter eggs. For example, the entire secret base site was actually newly built later. However, the museum still found some real blue stones from the site of the real secret base that is being demolished. It is used on the wall with the goals. The specific positions where they are placed are also very particular, corresponding to the shooting areas where Hu Lai scored the most goals.

"Not only that, this 'secret base' is not just a decoration, it can also be used to interact with visitors. During a fixed period of time every day, the site will be cleared, and then you only need to scan the code to pay ten yuan, you can Get the opportunity to shoot ten times, and experience for yourself how Hu Lai trained here...isn't it very immersive?"

In the training base in the shot, someone is challenging to shoot.

There are still many people watching the battle around.

They cheered when the challenger scored a goal, and booed when he didn't.

Whether it is the challenger or the onlookers, everyone is very happy, and there is constant laughter in the "Secret Base".

"But now I won't experience shooting. Time is tight and the task is heavy, and I have to show you the inside of the museum..."

Following these words, the camera moved back to Han Shuyu's body, and then moved to the side, and a rolling and patchwork of buildings appeared in the camera.

The exterior of the building complex has a strong sense of design. The reinforced concrete buildings are hidden in the bamboo forest and pools, which do not appear out of place, but are harmoniously integrated with the surrounding environment.

It doesn't look like a "spectacular" building standing abruptly on the ground, but more like a park.

If you just look at it from a distance, it must be difficult to know that there is a football museum hidden inside.

In addition to the need to buy tickets that are not expensive to enter the interior of the building, the periphery of the museum is all open to the public.

You can regard this place as a park, and you can drive here to visit and play. Residents living nearby can also take a walk here after dinner.

This is not a place where you don't need to come if you don't know football. The door is always open to everyone.

When the museum was designed, it adhered to this concept, to let the museum integrate into the local market, instead of showing its incompatibility with the surrounding environment everywhere, and using abrupt architectural wonders to show its awesomeness.

Therefore, there are no more than three-story buildings in the entire museum, and most of them are hidden in sangbamboo forests, small bridges and flowing water.

It doesn't look very "soccer".

But that's what museums need.

At the beginning of the public bidding for the design of the museum, the studio of a famous architect in the Strait Province voted for a proposal, which was a very abrupt football-shaped building, and it was a group of spherical buildings of different sizes located in a white square. superior.

This well-known designer from Strait Province, who is particularly good at making pseudo-physical buildings and is a frequent visitor to the list of China's top ten ugliest buildings every year, also called his design plan "Big Pearls and Small Pearls Falling on a Jade Plate".

As soon as this set of plans appeared on the Internet, it became the target of everyone's complaints.

The plan that was so ugly that it was so unsightly was naturally not selected.

The final selection was the proposal of a young designer from Jincheng.

The young designer organically integrated the unique concept of "Linpan" in Andong Province into the design of the museum.

The so-called "linpan" is a common settlement unit in the countryside of Jincheng Plain in Andong. Small forest pans have only a few or a dozen households, while large forest pans can have hundreds of households.

Forest pans are generally composed of fields, houses, and surrounding farmland. The entire courtyard is hidden among tall trees such as nan, cypress, and low bamboo forests. , The idyllic scroll of small bridges and flowing water. (Note 1)

If viewed from the air with a drone, "Hu Lai and Li Qingqing's Football Museum" is like the rural pastoral scenery that can be seen everywhere on the Jincheng Plain.

The main building of the museum is hidden in the dense woods, surrounded by winding artificial streams and large green lawns, as if they were immature rice fields. In autumn and winter, these divided lawns are withered and yellow, and under the aerial camera, at first glance, they look somewhat similar to the harvested rice fields.

※※※

After passing two ginkgo trees, the main entrance of the indoor part of the museum appeared in front of Han Shuyu and the camera.

"Hu Lai and Li Qingqing's Football Museum!"

Han Shuyu pointed to the plaque above the gate and read out the name word by word.

"It's that simple and rude. From the gate, we will feed dog food to all single visitors and tell them that this is Chinese football... no, it is the career achievement exhibition hall of the most famous football couple in world football!"

Then Han Shuyu waved at the camera: "Come, follow me, take you to travel through time and space, and re-witness the football journey of the two of them!"

※※※

"These are all the honors and video records that Hu Lai won in middle school. For example, this photo is a photo of him winning the Anton Cup high school championship with the Dongchuan Middle School football team for the first time. That is Hu Lai playing football The first championship I won in my career..."

While introducing, Han Shuyu motioned for Li Qingliang to come up and fully focus the camera on the photo instead of taking pictures of himself.

"There is another interesting thing about this photo...At that time, Hu Lai's father did not support him playing football, so whether he joined the school team or went out to play, he kept it from his father. This final was due to leave Dongchuan went to Jincheng, and he would come back very late. So he found an excuse, saying that it was the birthday of his friend Song Jiajia... Is this name familiar? Yes, it is the founder and owner of Champion Legend Sports Agency. The two of them Personal friendship has continued from high school to the present, it is really not easy, and it is also very enviable!"

"This is Hu Lai's second Anton Cup championship gold medal, as well as the Anton Cup top scorer trophy... The most eye-catching position is of course the honor Hu Lai won in the national competition, a national championship trophy—of course , this trophy is an imitation, and the genuine one is in the honor room of the Dongchuan Middle School football team..."

"Okay, we've finished visiting Hu Lai's high school days. This room is not big. After all, Hu Lai only played in high school for two years, and he left the campus after two years of dissatisfaction...The next thing is Hu Lai's experience in the Poseidon youth team. But before going to the next room, I want to show everyone here."

Han Shuyu took the camera and walked to a wall. There was only one sentence on that wall and nothing else.

【If you can't put in ten times as much effort as others, then your talents are worthless stones. 】

Han Shuyu pointed to this sentence on the wall and introduced: "This sentence was given to Hu Lai when he was planning to leave the campus and join professional football. Li Ziqiang, the head coach of his Dongchuan Middle School football team, gave him both encouragement and warning. And Hu Lai also followed the earnest teachings of the head coach and realized his talent with practical actions! This is really a good story about master and apprentice! I believe that Hu Lai chose to engrave this sentence on the wall to thank his teacher for his teaching..."

"Okay, let's walk into a corridor. This corridor is not long, but it is actually an exhibition hall, showing Hu Lai's experience in the Sea God Youth Team. This corridor is a bit dark, so be careful where you step... in the middle of this corridor , there is also a passage engraved on the wall..."

Li Qingliang leaned forward with the camera, adjusted the exposure, and recorded this sentence into the memory card of the camera:

[Modern football has higher and higher requirements for center forwards, and they are also more and more comprehensive. What's the use if you only know how to shoot? A player like you does not meet the requirements and definitions of modern football... To be honest, Hu Lai, I think you have no future whether in Poseidon or in other teams. Rather than wasting time like this, it is better to find another way out...]

"Didn't expect it? It turned out to be a sentence criticizing Hu Lai. Of course, this sentence is very famous now, and everyone knows the story behind this sentence. Looking at it now, it can't be said that Sun He was talking nonsense. He said At the time of these remarks, the popular trend in world football is to weaken the scoring ability of forwards... But who is Hu Lai the most special one? He completely broke the traditional prejudices and concepts of football...

"It can only be said that this example has reminded us countless youth training coaches not to look at every young player with inherent experience and prejudice. Maybe you negate the next Hu Lai with a light sentence? Right? There is such a thing. Is it possible? While football youth training trains a large number of qualified players, it should also leave enough room for the birth of talents. I think this is the most important thing... I don’t know what you guys think?”

The tour in this part of the Poseidon youth team went very quickly. It was originally a transitional stage connecting Hu Lai's high school career and professional career. The corridors were arranged just right.

Because Hu Lai did not have any outstanding performances in the Poseidon youth team, so that there are not many photos and videos left, let alone real objects—not even a jersey worn by Hu Lai in the Poseidon youth team.

The core and most important part of the exhibition in this exhibition hall is actually the sentence that is not optimistic about Hu Lai.

Although it was not marked who said this sentence, fans all over China knew who that blind idiot was.

The years in the Poseidon youth team were actually relatively gloomy for Hu Lai.

This can also be seen from the lighting effects in the exhibition hall.

The corridor exhibition hall of the Poseidon youth team was very dimly lit, and only a few photos were illuminated, and the brightest place in the entire corridor was Sun He's words, because the area was large enough and the lighting was arranged a little more.

After you stare at this passage, then look away. Too dark an environment will even make your eyes unable to see for a short time. It will take a second or two to gradually adapt, and you can see the surrounding situation clearly. foot of the road.

The height of the corridor is not high. Compared with normal exhibition halls, even people over 1.9 meters tall can't help but bend down and bow their heads—but in fact, even if they stand up straight, they can't touch their heads. that illusion.

This kind of design makes people feel depressed as soon as they come in, and they don't even want to stay in such a dark environment for a long time, and want to leave as soon as possible.

Perhaps it also happened to coincide with Hu Lai's situation and feelings in the Poseidon Youth Team at that time.

From this detail, we can see the design team's dedication.

In stark contrast to the corridor of the Poseidon youth team is the next Anton Shining Star exhibition hall.

Passing through the dark corridor of the Seagod Youth Team, everyone's eyes will suddenly brighten up.

This sense of cheerfulness is not only a psychological feeling, but also reflected in the layout of the specific exhibition hall - the design team designed a patio at the place where we just entered. There is a huge skylight above the patio, and the sunlight pours from the glass skylight on the third floor And below, not only increased lighting, but also removed the oppressive sense of restraint on the two floors.

Compared with the oppressive and dark corridor before, everyone's mood will instantly improve.

This design also reflects Hu Lai's experience after joining Anton Shining Star.

The exhibition hall of Anton Shining Star is huge, and it is not just a single room, this part is composed of multiple rooms. From the outside it looks like a whole separate building.

There are different exhibition rooms upstairs and downstairs, displaying various things.

There are not only photos and videos, but also such video materials, as well as jerseys, sneakers, footballs, and related items of some important games.

Here is the game ball for Hou Lai's first career goal, as well as the game ball for his first career hat-trick.

"Everyone is still not surprised. The 'Football Museum of Hu Lai and Li Qingqing' we said, why we have been here for a long time, and there is only Hu Lai. Where is Li Qingqing? Hey, everyone, please come with me..."

Han Shuyu said while leading the way.

At intervals on the ground, a set of numbers will appear:

2022

This is to tell visitors that they are where the content of 2022 is displayed.

When Han Shuyu took Li Qingliang through 2022 and came to 2023, she pointed to a wall facing her and said, "Clang, clang, clang!"

There was a huge picture on that wall.

In the photo is a group photo of Hu Lai and Li Qingqing wearing their national team uniforms and holding trophies.

This is the first official photo of Hu Lai and Li Qingqing in public information.

"In the East Asian Cup in 2023, Hu Lai wore the Chinese team's jersey for the first time, and it was also the first time he played side by side with Li Qingqing. It was the first official meeting in their careers." Han Shuyu introduced.

"Look, everyone, there is another door here. If you walk through this door, you can see Li Qingqing's football experience... So this museum actually has two main entrances. We came in from Hu Lai's side , If you switch to Li Qingqing's side, then everyone will appreciate Li Qingqing's football experience from childhood to adulthood, and it will intersect with Hu Lai's professional experience here.

"What a wonderful design and idea! Through the design of the moving line that guides the visitors, it makes everyone feel as if they have personally experienced the lives of two people, experiencing their interlacing and separation, parallel and interlacing, and finally converging...It's really great!"

Han Shuyu said as he put his arm in front of the camera: "I have goosebumps! Although I have seen many visiting videos and guides on the Internet before I came...but when I walked through it in person, and then stood in Hu Lai The place where Li Qingqing and Li Qingqing intersect, I still can’t help being excited! How long have they walked alone, and finally they can stand side by side in front of everyone like this... Ah! It’s so sweet, so sweet! I know why This design plan will finally be favored by Hu Lai's mother! Ha!"

It's no secret that Hu Lai's mother likes Li Qingqing, her daughter-in-law.

By the way, how many mother-in-laws don't like a daughter-in-law like Li Qingqing?

※※※

"Since Hu Lai's transfer to the Madrid Pirates, his and Li Qingqing's showrooms have been officially merged together, no longer using the previous design of crossing and then separating... This is also the time when the two of them officially announced their relationship, and they will never be separated again... This design is really romantic! And their common memories are often exhibited together. Like this...

"Two Olympic gold medals! One is for the men's soccer event and the other is for the women's soccer event. The metal nameplate below reads: August 21, 2028, the 34th Los Angeles Summer Olympics, soccer event gold medal... yes, that's it One day, the history of Chinese football has been divided into two halves! Before, neither the men’s nor the women’s football team won an international championship. On that day, our men’s and women’s football team won the Olympic championship at the same time!”

"Look! This ball! This ball was used in the match between China and England in the World Cup in Spain and Portugal four years ago. You can see that the national flags of the two sides and the specific date of the match are also printed on the ball. And the venue...Look here, July 2, 2030, Madrid, Pirates Park Stadium...The football is also signed by the players of the Chinese team! There is also Hu Lai's off-field jersey in that game...I really miss it, Four years have passed since that World Cup..."

"The trophy of the European Ballon d'Or! This is Hou Lai's second Ballon d'Or because of his near-perfect performance in the 2029-2030 season. He scored a hundred and ten goals in all competitions that season , Surpassing the record of 108 goals in a single season he created a season ago... But unfortunately, the 2030 World Footballer does not belong to him, because there is a World Cup in this year. Finally led the Brazil team in the final Kabanka, who defeated the Netherlands and won the championship, won the FIFA World Player of the Year award...Many domestic fans were upset, but I think it's okay.

"That year was really intense. It is understandable that FIFA's World Player of the Year selection puts more emphasis on World Cup results... The most important thing is that in the second year, Hu Lai won the double honor of 'Mr. Golden Globe' again! Hehe !Because in the 2030-2031 season, Hu Lai and the Madrid Pirates achieved an unprecedented three consecutive championships after the restructuring of the Champions League! And he himself became the top scorer in the Champions League for four consecutive seasons and the best player in the Champions League for three consecutive seasons. His performance certainly deserves a Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year!

"Three Golden Globe trophies laid out in one word, it looks really imposing! Among the players of their generation, Hu Lai is also the only one who has three Golden Globe Awards, Meli has two, and Kabanka has only one... Oh, really It’s unbelievable, look at the honors that Hu Lai won... I can’t believe that our Chinese players can also suppress the superstars of developed football countries..."

Han Shuyu chattered excitedly about the three Golden Globe trophies and two World Footballer of the Year trophies in front of him.

There is a huge screen on the wall not far away, which is playing a video of Hu Lai being interviewed by media reporters from all over the world after winning the double honor of "Mr. Golden Globe" for the second time.

It was a winter afternoon, and the warm sun of the Iberian Peninsula cast on Hu Lai, and his whole body seemed to emit a bright halo.

He was sitting on the lawn, and on a table covered with a white tablecloth in front of him were two trophies, the European Golden Globe Award and the World Footballer's Trophy.

The former was obtained half a season ago, and this time it was only displayed again, mainly to match the World Footballer who was just obtained.

After all, "Mr. Golden Globe" can only be counted as "Mr. Golden Globe" if he wins these two highest personal honors at the same time within a season.

Two trophies with different shapes shined brightly in the sun.

A reporter asked Hu Lai, who seemed to be exuding "holy light" all over his body:

"Mr. Hu Lai, now that the era of pure shooters is gone, you can still achieve such dazzling achievements. What is the secret of your success?"

Hu Lai, who heard this question, did not answer immediately, but was a little distracted.

Of course, he didn't wander too far, so he refocused his eyes, looked at the reporters in front of him, and smiled slightly:

"Because I know the goal is there."

"Asian Cup! Of course, this trophy is not the real Asian Cup, nor is it the replica in the honor room of the Chinese Football Association, but a replica of the replica. The Asian Cup to be held in our own homeland in 2031, Hu Lai helped the ball The team won the championship, and the Chinese men's football team finally became the Asian champion for the first time... Excited, I beat up the little Japanese in the final! Hey! Avenged the Asian Cup stolen by them 27 years ago! Cool! Hu Lai scored a hat-trick in the finals in this game, so cool!"

"Next... This is the latest exhibit! The off-field jersey of the Madrid Pirates against Real Huelva! This jersey has a lot of background! It is the jersey that Hu Lai made history-January 22 this year, the league No. In the 20th round, wearing this jersey, he scored twice, tied and surpassed Celius Caesar in one game, and became the player with the most goals in the history of world football! Seven hundred and sixty-one goals! Unprecedented, In the end, there is only Hu Lai himself! Now Hu Lai has broken this record to 769 goals, which is simply terrible! I don’t know how much this number will be fixed in the end when he retires... But now Hu Lai Forest is getting better and better. It is getting denser and denser, and it has also joined the Qingqing forest, forming a large area..."

※※※

The museum is neither big nor small.

Speaking of big, the area that has been built is actually not big, after all, this is only the first phase of the project.

In the vicinity, the second phase of the project is about to enter the construction stage, and the third phase of the project has entered the design evaluation stage.

So this football museum is actually in an unfinished state.

To say the least, it took Han Shuyu and Li Qingliang three hours to visit the museum and reach the exit. This is still in the case of not looking very carefully, otherwise it is estimated that I can spend a day here.

Who made Hu Laijia and Li Qingqing get too many honors?

When they saw a wall covered with different characters, they knew they were going out of the museum.

The words of various countries on this wall express the same meaning. The most eye-catching one in the middle of the wall is the Chinese character, which reads:

"The Legend Continues"

Yes, the careers of Hu Lai and Li Qingqing are not over yet, and their legends are still going on.

Near the exit is the last exhibition hall, which is not too big, but definitely not too small either.

The spacious exhibition hall has no other redundant decoration and design, and it looks very empty.

In the open space ~lightnovelpub.net~ the only thing displayed will be particularly prominent, which naturally attracts everyone's attention.

Two glass display cases under spotlights in the center of the showroom.

One of the cabinets quietly displays the Women's World Cup trophy.

Information about the trophy is engraved on the metal nameplate next to the trophy:

"2031 Brazil Women's World Cup Champion"

Next to the Women's World Cup cabinet, there is another cabinet.

An empty cabinet.

The electronic clock on the nearby wall is counting down:

There are 100 days, 2 hours, 38 minutes and 41 seconds until the opening of the 2034 World Cup in China
