Years later, senior fans will not be able to remember Messi's performance in the World Cup.
However, they will definitely remember the nickname "Squid Liu".
Liu Yuxi, who was 28 years old at the time, became famous because whichever team he wore would lose.
Liu Yuxi, born in 1985, is a typical Sichuan girl.
Although Cuttlefish Liu's nickname was highly offensive many years later, it was inevitable.
Not to mention that when she became an adult, she accidentally hosted a sports program. Even in her childhood and adolescence, there was never a trace of football in her life memory.
Liu Yuxi was born in Yibin, Sichuan, a mountainous place with mineral deposits.
The little girl has never liked boys' sports since she was a child, not to mention the uneven mountainous terrain, which does not allow people to develop a hobby of playing football.
From elementary school to middle school, her study and life were uneventful.
The first time I really came into contact with football was the 2002 World Cup.
She was 16 years old and was in her first year of high school that year.
The study life in high school was originally extremely boring, and the students who worked hard to make progress wanted to bury themselves in classroom textbooks every day.
But as summer approached that year, the male students in the class began to gradually become commotion.
Not only the underachievers were talking loudly about football, but even the boys who were good at studying couldn't help but whisper with their classmates.
In Liu Yuxi's memory, all the male classmates in the class that year seemed to be on the receiving end of gunfire.
Not only is he extremely excited, but he will also get angry if he encounters even the slightest dispute.
She really couldn't figure out what was wrong with these boys.
The male students in the class even agreed early on that if there was a football match on the weekend, they would skip class.
Liu Yuxi was a little stunned when she heard the boys' comments.
She was still thinking secretly in her heart, isn't it just watching a football match, why is she working so hard?
If they really skip class, the head teacher will never forgive them.
However, what happened next shocked her.
When the World Cup comes, whenever there is a match for the Chinese team, the class, including the whole school, is shrouded in commotion and unrest.
She still clearly remembers that during the Chinese team match, most of the students in the class ran away. Even many girls who did not understand football at all were "coerced" by the boys into skipping class and watching the game.
Afterwards, the head teacher did not criticize them, let alone ask these students who skipped class to write an examination.
At that time, they all thought that maybe the head teacher also liked watching football.
But in fact, almost all the students in the class skipped class. The law does not punish everyone, and the class teacher has no way to punish them.
In this way, with the teacher's tacit approval, the boys in their class spent a wild summer.
Once, she couldn't hold it in any longer and sneaked out with a few people.
Every time the Chinese team scored a goal in the game, they cheered with joy, and when they got excited, these tall boys actually cried along with them.
At that time, Liu Yuxi didn't understand football at all, and she didn't understand what football brought to boys.
But the crazy behavior of the boys still left her with fresh memories of that year's World Cup.
As for Liu Yuxi's life experiences after graduating from high school, she became even more distant from football.
When she was 20 years old, she came to Dong-A University in South Korea as a government-sponsored international student.
After a short period of study, she returned to Chongqing TV and served as a host.
That was her first appearance on the show, but she was not hosting a football show.
In the hosting world, compared to the stability of other hosts, Liu Yuxi has always been "turbulent" during this period of time.
She is both a host and a music student at Southwest University.
During this period, I also briefly stayed at Tourism Satellite TV and Jilin Satellite TV.
To be more precise, her hosting experience during this period is more like that of a fledgling intern.
At the age of 26, she participated in the job search TV show "Stand Out".
This program became the starting point for her future direction.
Then in the 2013 Spring Festival Gala, she became one of the hosts of the Jiangsu Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala.
After that, she officially entered CCTV.
