Chapter 70

In the subsequent match, Liu Hao once again demonstrated his incredible footwork by hitting the goalpost three times in a row, showing everyone his skills.

Of course, it was also a way to indicate to Huang Zhifu that he had no intention of competing with him.

In the end, the Municipal Party Committee's Secretariat won the game 4-0 against the Transportation Management Office, and Liu Hao did not score a goal as he had intended.

Isn't it fair to lose with a clear conscience? Six times hitting the goalpost is enough to prove everything, isn't it more impressive than scoring one or two goals?

After the match, Liu Hao was called over by the leadership and stood next to Zhang Xiaoxin.

The meaning was to accept interviews from the media together.

Huang Zhifu stood not far away, his lonely eyes clearly visible. Although he assisted the mayor in scoring the second goal, these achievements were insignificant compared to Liu Hao's six goalposts.

Damn Liu Hao, he unintentionally hurt his heart again. He thought his tolerance would earn him a friendship, but it only deepened the resentment in his heart.

"Letting the ball go? Do you think I deliberately hit the goalpost six times? Even Ronaldinho couldn't do that, how could I? Today's luck was at its worst, it's unbelievable!" When asked by a reporter if he deliberately missed the goal, Liu Hao looked astonished, "When I went out today, I must have stepped on dog shit, otherwise, I should have scored at least one goal, right?"

"Do you think the upcoming Shandong Derby will see Qingdao win? Are you afraid of our Luneng? This is the first Chinese Super League team you've faced in your professional career, and they are top-notch."

"Our Luneng"? This reporter is too amateur, directly revealing his stance. Liu Hao shot a glance at the guy, "For the first question, you should actually ask your Luneng if they have the confidence to beat Qingdao Zhongneng. For the second question, didn't you lose to a Korean team in the AFC Champions League? Are you afraid of Korean teams?"

Liu Hao did not directly answer the guy, but cleverly countered him. However, as a small civil servant, he still had to be cautious, "The game is secondary, friendship is first. In fact, no matter who wins or loses, giving it your all is enough."

He actually wanted to say "without any regrets," but there was something in his heart...

The mayor came to play, and I didn't give him face, it was just bad luck that I lost to him...

A friendly match made Liu Hao even more famous in Yinzhou.

Although the match was not broadcast live on Yinzhou TV as Liu Hao had hoped, it was reported by the higher-level Xiguang TV, and the Xiguang Daily, where Huang Zongliang worked, did not skimp on describing this magical match.

Of course, no news media could match the power of QQ.com.

QQ News promptly reported Liu Hao's "six goalposts" feat, and suddenly, his reputation grew even more.

If you don't know Liu Xiaopang, you can't call yourself a player? Grassroots Liu Hao became the most watched figure among the people.

However, as the saying goes, good fortune and misfortune come together. Pigs fear to grow fat, and people fear to become famous. If Liu Hao had just gone to play for the Xiguang Super Team, the following incident wouldn't have happened.

The Xiguang Super Team filed a lawsuit, directly taking Qingdao Zhongneng to the Chinese Football Association!

The news was first broken by QQ.com.

"Liu Hao is actually a player for the Xiguang Super Team. Qingdao Zhongneng signed him without consulting the Xiguang Super Team, which is an illegal act."

When the news broke, fans across the country were shocked, and it seemed that a "Heirs" style conflict was brewing.

If this is the case, then Liu Hao's situation is the same as Liu Jian's.

Qingdao Zhongneng is really unlucky, having two similar issues in one season.

One is the team captain, and the other is the team's ace.

"When Liu Hao was unknown, they didn't make a fuss, but now that they see how great he is, they start to snatch him. What's the difference from those who want to divide the family property?" Qingdao fans, of course, wouldn't admit it, similar to when Barcelona's Cesc Fabregas left Arsenal and, after being trained by Wenger to become a world-class player, Barcelona was eager to bring him back.

"Liu Hao is originally from our Xiguang Province, and he is originally a player for the Xiguang Super Team. Why can't we call him back to play? Are we snatching, stealing, or breaking the law?" Xiguang fans naturally wouldn't fall behind, as they had reason and law on their side...

"You keep talking about Liu Hao, but the person you used was Liu Xiaopang, not Liu Hao!" Fans sometimes resort to trickery, "And a contract signed with a fake name is invalid, right? If it's invalid, how can he be your Xiguang team player?"

"An oral agreement is still an agreement, and Liu Xiaopang's name was indeed registered under the Super Team. Even if he's in sheep's clothing, he's still a wolf, don't nitpick."

It seems a confusing case is about to appear, even Liu Hao himself is unclear.

At first, Cai Jin handled the matter of joining the Super Team, and later, Lai Yuxin handled the matter of becoming a player for Zhongneng. To clarify this, they would have to ask the two of them.

Am I a player for the Super Team or Zhongneng?

When Cai Jin received the call, he was also surprised. At that moment, he was on vacation in Europe with Miss Qiao.

Hearing the two clubs fighting over Liu Hao, Cai Jin was at a loss.

At the time, everyone was just having fun, who would have thought that Liu Hao would become a hot commodity for two clubs?

Given the conflict between his father and Qiao Weiguang, this wouldn't end easily!

This isn't about money or interests, it's about face and grudges!

Li Tie is the one who got caught in the crossfire! As the head coach of the Xiguang Super Team, he would definitely support the club's decision and wouldn't turn against them.

However, he was the one who handled Liu Hao's matter at the time, thinking it was over, but who knew Liu Hao would re-emerge?

Re-emerging was one thing, but who knew he would become so famous, known nationwide?

He admitted that he was a bit hasty in handling Liu Hao's matter, just removing his name from the registration list and nothing more.

Logically, he should have at least terminated the employment contract with Liu Hao, even if it was temporary or an oral agreement...

His carelessness led to the current dispute between the two clubs.

Everyone has their own reasons, it's frustrating.

"Old Li, how should we handle this?" Li Tie called Li Xiaopeng. They were good friends privately, but on the club level, they were bitter rivals, and both knew the boss's stance.

Li Xiaopeng is two years older than Li Tie, so he could only call him "Little Li."

"Little Li, you have a good relationship with your boss, why don't you go and feel out the situation first?"

"Old Li, no way, your relationship with your boss is even better, you should go and feel out the situation," Li Tie wouldn't fall for Li Xiaopeng's trick. Neither of them wanted to take the lead, as this matter was not simple.

"How can that be, your name is Li Tie, you must be the closest to him..."

"Let's not argue, how about this, let Liu Hao play in the next match, and see how to handle it from there?" Li Tie's head was aching, how could being a coach be so difficult, especially for an older player?

Actually, Liu Hao is quite useful. Maybe he should just wait for the club to handle it? He had his own thoughts.

Fortunately, when signing Liu Hao, it wasn't he who did it. Li Xiaopeng also had his own thoughts.

They were both employees, unable to make decisions, and could only let the clubs and the bosses handle it.

Meanwhile, the issue of Liu Hao's affiliation was being hyped up online, making it a top headline.

Becoming a top headline is not easy. Last year, a rock singer was always trying to get on the front page, but never succeeded...

So, it's normal for Liu Jian, Liu Hao's teammate, to envy him, as he couldn't play this season due to the dispute between Evergrande and Zhongneng.

Of course, the club owners wouldn't personally intervene, at most the general managers would negotiate.

As expected, neither side would back down.

"Fine, you want Liu Hao to play for Zhongneng, right?" The general manager of the Xiguang team held up five fingers in front of the other party.

"Five million? That price is acceptable." The general manager of Zhongneng was surprised by the other party's quick agreement.

"Are you still half asleep? It's fifty million."

"… Fifty million? Are you robbing us? How is that possible!" The general manager of Zhongneng was furious, "Five million is already giving you face. If we didn't consider the training costs, we wouldn't give you anything according to the contract."

"If you can't afford it, don't pretend to be big. Let Liu Hao come back, and let's not argue over this. Do you really think five million is a lot? Can five million produce a star like Liu Hao? Fifty million is still too little for us."

"Then we can't negotiate. Let's leave it to the Chinese Football Association to decide." The general manager of Zhongneng was frustrated. The other party was too aggressive, not making sense, and not acting like they were negotiating. In fact, he was just going through the motions; before coming, the boss had already instructed him not to make any concessions!

In the end, the matter had to be left to the Chinese Football Association to decide.

If it were a regular player, the association would handle it simply, giving both sides a warning and banning the player from playing for a year.

However, Liu Hao is now known nationwide, and the significance attached to him seems to have transcended football.

Not letting Liu Hao play would anger the public.

Public opinion cannot be ignored...

The leaders of the Chinese Football Association were also at a loss.

However, they always prioritize the bigger picture.

The next day, the Chinese Football Association issued a notice.

"Given the special status of Comrade Liu Hao, he joined both clubs as a temporary worker. Therefore, which club Liu Hao belongs to cannot be decided by the two clubs, but by Liu Hao himself. Of course, if Liu Hao is willing to serve one of the clubs, and the club can provide him with a formal employment contract and the five insurances and one fund, he will belong to that club."

Damn!

Damn!

Qiao Weiguang and Cai Zhuo cursed in their respective offices...
