Chapter 49

In his first appearance at home, Liu Hao made a fool of himself.

He was urgently sent to the medical room, and he didn't even finish the ten minutes he was supposed to play as a substitute.

He blew a gasket...

Although it was painful, it was also very fulfilling... cough, cough.

Fortunately, he completed his task, and Li Xiaopeng hastily replaced him with Castillo.

Qingdao Zhongneng ultimately won the match with a 2-0 score, and everyone was happy.

Although Mao Jianqing was the opener of the match, the fans were more interested in Liu Hao's story.

Not only did he assist, but he also personally delighted the fans.

It was like watching a comedy, leaving everyone with endless aftertaste.

"If Guangzhou Evergrande has the 'Emperor of Tianhe' Diamanti, then we have the 'Emperor of Tiantai,' the chubby little star from the stars..." a Zhongneng fan commented online.

The QQ Sports section, when introducing Zhongneng's first goal, focused on Liu Hao.

"Liu Xiaopang, after two matches, quickly captured the hearts of Zhongneng fans, not only because he can score and assist, but also because he brings joy to the fans. Li Xiaopeng's keen eyes brought a super wildcard to the team. According to the description by Lai Yuxin, a reporter for Sports Weekly, this guy might be the reincarnation of Marshal Tianpeng, or as Zhongneng fans say, he is the chubby little star from the stars."

Some fans even drew a promotional poster for the team that night, with Liu Hao's photo prominently featured.

However... is this Maradona or Liu Xiaopang? Clearly photoshopped, it looks like Maradona is celebrating with a raised fist, but the jersey number has changed from 10 to 14.

"I can only 'hehe' and laugh. Is he also called the 'Emperor of Tiantai'? Then wouldn't Mao Jianqing become Sun Wukong? Mao Houzi and Zhu Bajie together are indeed a perfect match." A fan from Shandong commented sarcastically, "Look at my big Luneng, with a plethora of stars, too many to count."

We are of the same root, why be so urgent to boil each other? Aren't both Qingdao and Luneng from Shandong?

But the regional rivalry among fans is inevitable, and because of Liu Xiaopang, they actually started arguing.

"To count stars, it should be Guangzhou Evergrande, who are at least Asian champions. What does Luneng have? Yes, although Qingdao doesn't have many stars, we are proud that Guangzhou Evergrande's Zheng Long is also from Qingdao. Historically, Qingdao has produced just as many stars as Luneng."

"Two matches and you already deify a fat guy, wake up. In two weeks, the FA Cup will make Qingdao understand what harsh reality is..." In two weeks, Luneng will play against Qingdao at home, which will be the biggest clash between the two provincial teams this year.

"Reality is that Shandong Luneng can't hold their head up in front of Guangzhou Evergrande."

"First, try to get back to the Super League, or you'll ruin Li Xiaopeng's future."

"What does our Qingdao have to do with your Luneng?"

...

The fans from both sides engaged in a verbal battle.

Verbal battles are irrational; it's about who can spout more saliva, and who can drown the other. But what if both sides have about the same amount of saliva?

Just like every time you open the QQ Sports webpage, you always see fans of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi bickering, endlessly, with no end in sight...

However, the fans gathered here today were surprised to find that a newly posted news item on the sports section was quite unsettling...

"Qingdao's god-level killer, the best free-kick in the world, puts Luneng in danger..."

"Damn! This must be written by Mauro!" Liu Hao, lying in bed, was also playing with his phone, logging onto QQ to read the news, and saw the news about himself.

Seeing the words 'god-level,' Liu Hao immediately thought of the famous QQ news writer Mauro.

Although no one knows how old Mauro is or what he looks like, every fan knows that he is at least 'grass-owing,' a member of the famous QQ MLGB combination...

The battle between Luneng and Qingdao fans was already intense, and seeing such a headline, the situation only worsened. Mauro must be laughing behind the scenes.

Liu Hao scrolled to the bottom of the news and saw the signature; it was indeed Mauro...

"Hello everyone, I am Liu Xiaopang. I am not a god-level killer; I am just an old man who wants to play football, an old fatty. Please don't argue, and please ignore Mauro's articles..."

Liu Hao shook his hand and left a comment!

It was a habit; he usually liked to leave comments in the sports section.

After posting, Liu Hao smiled wryly to himself.

Who would believe it?

Sure enough, not long after, replies started appearing.

"Hello everyone, I am Liu Xiaopang. I really can't stand Mauro, so I came to insert a feather in his ass."

"Hello everyone, I am Liu Xiaopang. I actually have superpowers, I am not fat, I am very handsome and gentle."

"Hello everyone, I am Liu Xiaopang. Please call me Fatman侠 (Fatman Hero) in the future..."

...

Over a hundred replies made Liu Hao laugh and cry.

However, one message was quite serious.

"Is it really Liu Xiaopang? I want to know, why did you blow a gasket in the afternoon match?"

Hmm, this question is worth answering. Liu Hao thought for a moment and decided to reply: "Sigh... it's all because of the diet. I was so hungry at noon that I secretly ate some garlic. There's a lot of garlic in Shandong, and that was the only side dish on the table. I didn't care and just stuffed it into my mouth..."

"The result was tragic. The doctor just said it was some kind of gastrointestinal dysfunction... caused by eating too much spicy food."

Liu Hao answered the fan's question specifically and honestly, and he was quite satisfied with himself.

"Losing weight like this, little star Liu Xiaopang, you really worked hard..."

"If Chinese players could have your spirit of hard work, China wouldn't have to watch the World Cup at home this year..."

Hmm, that's a good point! Liu Hao smiled and replied: If the Chinese team had me, you would definitely be able to go to Brazil this year.

"… It's possible. In the past, the Chinese team didn't score in 90 minutes, but you scored in just a few minutes. Not only did you score in front, but you also scored behind. You are the best scorer in history..."

Well, although the interaction was successful, how should one interpret this? Liu Hao was speechless, looking at the guy named 'I Love Football' with a blank expression.

"Then, in Guangzhou last time, did you injure your testicles or your groin?"

"Neither, everything is functioning normally..."

A news article that was supposed to be a verbal battle suddenly turned into a Q&A session with Liu Hao.

Although it's unknown whether 'Liu Xiaopang' is real, it generated over a thousand comments.

"The Divine Beast Personally Answers Questions on QQ Network"!

Not long after, another article by Mauro appeared...

Truly a standout in the news media industry, capturing business opportunities accurately and ruthlessly!
