In this way, Hu Lai moved out of the hotel, shared a house with Wang Guangwei, went to training together every day, and came back together after the training. When he came back, he stopped by the vegetable market and bought the ingredients for dinner first. .

Because Hu Lai doesn't know how to cook, they also discussed that cooking is Wang Guangwei's job, and washing dishes is Hu Lai's job.

Life is calm and regular.

Two days later, Hu Lai went back to the rental house alone, while Wang Guangwei followed the team to the away game.

This weekend, Anton Shining Star challenged the Eagles Club in Tongqi Province away. The game kicked off at 3:30 p.m. After lunch at the base, we took the bus to the airport for our flight.

Wang Guangwei was selected for the competition squad, so naturally he won't go home with Hu Lai.

So this evening, Hu Lai ate takeaway. Through the takeaway app, he ordered three beef and vegetable salads with different salad dressings, and ate them all, not even a corn kernel left.

The next day the team did not practice, so he went to the nearby university campuses and supermarkets in the morning to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment.

Had a simple lunch outside, returned to the rental house, turned on the TV on time at 3:30 in the afternoon, and watched the Shining Star game through the sports channel of Anton Satellite TV.

The TV broadcasting of the Chinese Premier League and the Chinese Super League is different. The broadcasting rights of the Chinese Super League are sold to the CCTV Sports Channel, and they will broadcast live to the whole country. In the case of not going to the satellite, the rebroadcast is only carried out within the coverage of the local signal.

However, there is no national broadcasting organization for the broadcasting rights of the China League One. They are all subcontracted to various local TV stations. They can only broadcast the games of their respective teams, and cannot broadcast the games of other teams.

This is naturally because the players in the Chinese League One are not as famous and entertaining as the Chinese Super League. No organization is willing to spend a lot of money to buy the broadcasting rights of all teams, so they simply split it out, and the local stations support their own teams. Buying the broadcast rights of your own team can also save a lot of money.

It is also for this reason that before Hu Lai came to Flash Star, he never watched a complete Flash Star game. Because he couldn't watch the sports channel of Anton Satellite TV in Lingnan City at all—only Anton Satellite TV can send the rebroadcast signal to the satellite, and the sub-channels below are not eligible for this. The sports channel of the local satellite TV can only be seen in the location.

In addition, Shining Star is not considered a strong team in the Chinese Premier League. Before Qin Lin came, there were no big-name players, and the popularity was not strong.

There are no videos of the whole game uploaded by enthusiastic fans on the Internet, only some scattered game highlights.

Today, Hu Lai regards watching the live broadcast of the game as an excellent opportunity for him to get to know the team.

He has only been here for half a week, and he has just matched the names and faces of everyone in the team. No matter how much he learned about Flash Star through online news before, it is still not as good as watching a complete game .

Seventeen rounds have been played in this year's Chinese League One. Shining Star currently has 24 points, ranking fourteenth, and there is a six-point gap from Yunshan Caiyun, who is third from last and sixteenth. Looking at the points, six points seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is only the gap between the two games.

And from the ranking point of view, there is only one team between the fourteenth and sixteenth places, and this position is really not secure.

Hu Lai knew that Director Zhao had adjusted the focus of his work from promotion at the beginning of the season to relegation. In the next half of the season, the team will fight for relegation.

In the final match against Tongqi Eagles, Shining Star played 0:0 in the away game without losing. Considering that the Tongqi Eagles ranked second in the Chinese League One this season, this result is already very good.

You know, they lost 0:1 to Hexi Daqin at home in the last round.

His roommate Wang Guangwei started this game and played a full 90 minutes. He performed well and was one of the contributors to the team's away draw with the second place in the league.

In fact, this is not the first time that Wang Guangwei has played a full game this season. After Zhao Kangming came, he vigorously promoted young players and gave them more opportunities. Of course, there are risks. After all, some young players face the pressure of the first team and their performance is not so good. But in Wang Guangwei, there is no such problem.

At the same time, Qin Lin came off the bench in the 64th minute of this game and made two key passes, but neither Lai Zekai nor foreign aid Macaulay Murphy, the flash star's striker, could score.

While Hu Lai was happy that his roommate could gradually gain a foothold in the team, he also discovered the team's current problem-weakness in offense.

This season, Flash Star has played 18 rounds in the league, scoring 16 goals and conceding 18 goals. Conceded goals cannot be said to be the team with the least conceded goals in the league, but it is also one of the teams with better performance. Only two teams conceded fewer goals than them, the second-ranked Tongqi Eagles, and the capital sports.

As a team with an extremely low ranking, it can be said that it is very good to have such a defensive performance.

This may have something to do with Zhao Kangming being an excellent central defender before retiring, and he is better at training the team's defense.

Compared with the excellent defense, Flash Star's offense is too shabby.

Only 16 goals were scored in the 18 rounds of the league, not even an average of one goal per game.

What level is this grade? Among the 18 teams in the Chinese First Division, only Jiang Ansheng's Wuzhou Dongshan scored fewer goals than them - 14 goals. And this team is currently ranked second to last in the league.

Not counting Hu Lai who didn't play a game, Flash Star now has five strikers, but only scored 16 goals. It's too embarrassing to say it.

His transfer to Flash Star was finalized in April of this year. At that time, the Chinese League One had just started, and Director Zhao probably could not have imagined that the team's striker performance would be so poor...

But after seeing the team's performance, a very bold idea popped into Hu Lai's mind-since these forwards can play, why can't I play? As far as their performance is concerned, I don't think I will be worse than them after I play.

The worst and worst is nothing more than not being able to score goals... How is that different from other forwards' current performance?

Hu Lai is not afraid of anything with his predecessors covering him.

Although Hu Lai really wanted to play, what should he do?

He ran to Director Zhao directly and said, "Director Zhao, I'm going to the next game, can you make arrangements for me?"

It is estimated that he will be kicked out of the office by Zhao Kangming.

No matter how good his relationship with Director Zhao was, it couldn't be this good.

If Director Zhao wants to consider letting him play in the game, he can only perform well in training.

After all, the court is a place where strength speaks.

※※※

The away game was able to draw with the second place in the league. For the Flash Star players, this game was considered to have completed the set goal, so on the way home, everyone was generally in a good mood.

The head coach Zhao Kangming is not in this mood. He is studying the next round of opponents with his assistant coach Chen Mo, the Kunyang City Team from Kunyang City, Jiang'an Province.

This game is very important for Flash Star to successfully avoid relegation this season, because they can be regarded as direct competitors.

After this round of the league, Shining Star ranked fourteenth with twenty-five points. Kunyang City ranked thirteenth with 26 points.

If Flashing Star can defeat Kunyang City, which is almost as strong as itself, in the away game, it will be regarded as temporarily finding a back in the relegation battle.

"Our biggest problem is the weak offensive line." Assistant coach Chen Mo said. "We didn't score a goal in this game. It can also be said that it is the reason for our tactical arrangement. After all, we are playing second in the away game in the league. We must retreat across the board to ensure that we don't lose the ball. But in the next round of the game, we will play Kunyang City away. It’s impossible to fight for a draw, right?”

Zhao Kangming nodded: "Yes, we will try to win the next game. A tie is no different from losing..."

"Actually, there is no requirement to score many goals. With our defensive level, even one goal is fine. It's a pity..."

"It's a pity that our forwards can't even score a goal." Zhao Kangming frowned.

"Qin Lin performed well, why don't we just push him to the front line in the next game?" Chen Mo suggested, "He used to play as a forward..."

Zhao Kangming was amused by his assistant's words: "How many years ago did that happen? He was indeed a striker when he first debuted, but he soon became a central defender... If he is really a good striker, Can you still play central defender?"

At the beginning, Qin Lin played as a striker in the youth team of Andong Xingcheng. He later went to a professional team to play as a striker, but he was put in the position of central defender by the then head coach after less than a season. He shined in this position, and was finally selected for the national team in this position.

Later, Qin Lin played as a full-back and also as a midfielder. With the increase of age and the accumulation of experience, he was fixed in the position of the midfielder.

Now Chen Mo wants such a midfielder to play as a guest forward, which shows that he is also desperate for the performance of his team's forwards...

In the past half of the season, they have tried different striker combinations, but the effect is not great. Double forwards, three forwards, and single forwards have all been tried, and the effect is better than nothing.

Just when Chen Mo didn't know what to say, he heard Zhao Kangming say, "Or let Hu Lai try."

"Hu Lai? He just joined the team..."

"So observe his training and integration into the team for another week. At least in training, there can still be some chemical reactions between him and Qin Lin."

"But now, if he is under too much pressure and can't score, what should we do?"

"That's the way it is. No matter how bad it is, it won't be too bad. And I have confidence in Hu Lai. Our problem now is not that we can't create opportunities in the midfield. You can see that Qin Lin has both feet in this game. A beautiful pass... It's because our striker can't grasp the opportunity. And Hu Lai, you know, that kid is the best at seizing opportunities. Although Hu Lai's characteristics are relatively simple, he can score goals, but we can't do it now. Just need to score goals."

Chen Mo was persuaded by Zhao Kangming, because he was the head coach of Hu Lai in the Poseidon Youth Team, and he directly trained Hu Lai, and he was the one who led him to play games, not Zhao Kangming, so he also had a certain understanding of Hu Lai's characteristics and abilities. with a very deep understanding.

If you evaluate Hu Lai from the standards of a professional player, this kid has many shortcomings, such as his lack of strength and his body is too thin; he also has average speed and poor dribbling. It can be said that he basically has no breakthroughs. Ability to speak of; the pass is quite satisfactory, so that the pass at a distance of five meters is not inaccurate, but you can't let the pass point where to hit, don't expect him to be able to pull the ball to the side and then use a precise cross to make the football accurate Send it to the door.

So when Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo left, Hu Lai quickly lost his position in the Poseidon youth team. Obviously, other professionals including Sun He were not very optimistic that such a partial student could become a qualified one. professional player.

But in the eyes of Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo, two experienced youth training coaches, Hu Lai has a very prominent advantage, which is better than any of his peers.

That is his ability to seize opportunities.

The ability to seize opportunities is a compound ability, not just shooting.

Just like coordination is not just about physical agility.

The ability to seize opportunities includes two parts: finding opportunities and completing shots. The first part is that Hu Lai has a very outstanding talent. Zhao Kangming saw this in the national competition. In one sentence, this kid knows the direction of the goal.

The second part was mastered by Hu Lai through hard training.

As his head coach, Chen Mo naturally knew how hard Hu Lai worked in training. The youth team lives in the dormitory in the training base, and the youth team training ground is downstairs, so it is very convenient to train. Therefore, it is often seen that Hu Lai is still practicing shooting alone on the court after the whole team training is over.

After spending double or even triple the training time than others, his shooting ability has naturally become the No. 1 in the Poseidon youth team, and he is the one who performs best in the team every time he shoots.

That's right, Hu Lai can only shoot and is only good at scoring goals.

But just like Lao Zhao said, we only need to score goals now!
