Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 1814 He is stronger than you think

Before the team trained, Danny Drew found Hulay in the locker room and hesitated to say anything to him:

"Hu……"

Seeing Drew's coy look, Hu Lai was very curious: "If you have anything to say, just say it, what are you doing?"

"I know you and Xing are good friends, so I just wanted to make a suggestion. Do you want to enlighten him?"

"Ah? Why should you enlighten him?" Hu Lai was surprised.

"Why?" Drew thought Hu Lai's reaction was strange. "He has been in a bad state recently. Don't you care about your own friends?"

"Oh no, of course, of course I care. I just think it's normal for players to have ups and downs? Why do I need to enlighten him?"

"I just think the situation this time may be more serious for Xing..."

"Ah? Is that so?" Hu Lai didn't expect that Chen Xingyi's recent mediocre state would be like that in Danny Drew's eyes...

Is the deviation so big?

"Of course. I still remember when Star first came to Sporting Amsterdam, I accidentally injured him in training. I think as a new player in a strange environment, he must be very frustrated when he gets injured again. But When I apologized to him very sincerely and carefully, he smiled and didn't mind my recklessness. I think Xing is an optimistic guy, and it's rare to see him depressed because of something..."

Hu Lai nodded repeatedly when he heard Drew say this.

Because indeed, as Drew said, Chen Xingyi is not the kind of person who easily falls into pessimism and cannot get out.

If both he and Luo Kai encounter a bottleneck, he will definitely be able to get out of it before Luo Kai.

When Luo Kai was still "beating the wall", Chen Xingyi was already clamoring in the group to hear Luo Kai's love gossip...

Naturally, he knows Chen Xingyi so well because he has been a friend for many years.

And Drew can also see this in Chen Xingyi's character, which shows that when he was at Sporting Amsterdam, his relationship with Chen Xingyi was really good, not the kind of "plastic friendship" meant to attract Chinese fans.

Drew didn't know what Hu Lai was thinking. He continued: "But yesterday, I tried to find him online, but he didn't reply to me. This made me a little worried, because such a situation has never happened between me and him. …”

When Hu Lai heard the keyword, he interrupted and asked: "Yesterday? When was yesterday?"

"It's night, when else can it be? Aren't we competing against Aher during the day?" Drew felt that Hu Lai's question was an idiot.

"Of course I know it's night,

I mean at what time in the evening, please be specific. "

"I'll take a look tonight..."

Drew took out his cell phone, scrolled through it and said to Hu Lai: "Look, he hasn't replied to me yet. He can't possibly sleep until now, right? Oh, it's 8:50 in the evening."

Hu Lai thought for a moment, and it seemed that that time was when a group of them were listening to Qingqing's love gossip about Luo Kai and Lilith on a video conference...

He said in his heart that if you look for Little Xingxing at that time, you'd be damned if he could care about you!

It turns out that this is why the primary school students thought that little Xingxing was in big trouble?

Oops...how should I explain this to elementary school students?

Tell him, is it okay for Little Xingxing to follow us and gossip about the love history of a national teammate last night?

Will the elementary school students who know the truth feel sad?

Will there be a kind of resentment like "I originally turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch"?

Hu Lai barely hesitated and instantly knew what he should do.

He said to Drew: "Okay, when I get back, I'll ask him what's going on without replying to you."

"No, no, no." Drew waved his hands repeatedly, "Just encourage him and don't mention me."

Hu Lai laughed when he heard this.

"What are you laughing at?" Drew asked curiously.

"No, I just think you have a really good relationship with Little Xingxing."

Hulay recalled that at the beginning of last season, Danny Drew, who had just joined the team, performed unsatisfactory, especially in the Madrid derby against the Kings of Madrid. He was humiliated by Melli, which caused a stir in the media. Curses and questions.

When Drew was under great pressure, it was Xiaoxing who found Hu Lai and inquired about Drew's situation.

Now it's Drew's turn to help little Star when he's in trouble...

"Of course, we are friends. You and I are also friends, Hu."

Hu Lai grinned: "Yes, we are friends."

During training the next day, Drew happily found Hu Lai and said to him: "I chatted with Xing for a long time last night. I feel that he has come out of his depression and he has returned to the person I thought he was. The familiar 'optimist'! Thank you, Hu, you must have done a lot of work for him!"

Hu Lai tried his best to smile brightly: "Really? That's great! I'm very happy to be able to help him!"

At the same time, he said in his heart, in fact, you should thank Luo Kai - if it weren't for his love story, Little Star's attention might not have shifted so quickly...

But Luo Kai probably doesn't care at all whether you thank him or not...well, thank me anyway!

It was indeed me who let Little Xingxing know that such a wonderful story happened in a place he didn’t know about!

Thinking of this, Hu Lai raised his head and chest, and accepted Danny Drew's gratitude very calmly.

Drew is still very excited: "I hope this will allow him to regain the feeling of scoring goals in the league!"

Hulay reminded him: "But next is the Champions League, the Champions League. Your old club is going to play the Turin Bulls away from home."

"Champions League? Oh yes, of course, Champions League!"

Drew was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

He would not admit to Hu Lai that he had not thought about the Champions League just now.

Mainly because he subconsciously felt that the Stars were unlikely to perform well against the Turin Bulls.

On the one hand, the star has not scored in the Champions League this season, and on the other hand, his opponent is Albertazzi.

In Drew's view, the solution to Star's dilemma is actually very simple - as long as he can continue to score goals and assists in the league.

His current problem is mainly that he has lost the momentum he had in the first half of the season in the league.

In fact, he didn't score or assist in the Champions League in the first half of the season, but no one criticized him, and Drew didn't feel that Star needed to be comforted.

As for not scoring in the Champions League...is that a big deal?

Drew has been paying attention to his friend. He believes that Chen Xingyi's performance this season is already top-notch in the Netherlands, and it is not easy to do so.

As for the Champions League performance, don’t be too demanding...

After all, Xing is not Hu.

After all, not everyone is a fool.

Danny Drew always reminds himself that after staying with Hu Lai for a long time, he must not regard this guy's performance as a "standard" that applies to everyone.

Don’t feel embarrassed when you see someone who has not scored thirty goals in the league, and don’t think that forwards who average less than one goal per game are of low quality.

But it's impossible for Drew to explain to Hu Lai that he doesn't think Chen Xingyi can perform well against Albertazzi, right?

That would make Hu Lai feel that he was looking down on Xing...

"Should Star be put in the starting lineup?"

Before the trip to Turin, Italy, Sporting Amsterdam assistant coach Giacomo Bellucci asked head coach Jopp Munster.

The reason why he asked this question was because in the recent consecutive leagues, Chen Xingyi's performance was not very good, and his condition was visibly sluggish.

"put."

Munster gave his answer with certainty.

"Okay." Bellucci answered simply and did not argue with the head coach on this issue.

Although Chen Xingyi's recent performance in the league has not been good, since the head coach has chosen to continue to trust Chen Xingyi, he, as an assistant coach, has no objection.

After all, Chen Xingyi's performance in the first half of the season was indeed outstanding. Based on this performance, everyone is willing to give him more trust and patience.

And always expect more from him.

This is what football is like, when you don't have any achievements to prove yourself, don't blame others for looking down on you.

And once you get your results, you will find that the world becomes extremely beautiful for a while, and everyone is full of kindness towards you.

"Yes, I have already flown. After training this afternoon, I will fly to Turin with the team..."

In the empty apartment, Chen Hantang was sitting alone on the sofa, looking at the distant scenery through the glass window, and at the same time talking on the phone to his wife, who stayed in China and had a public official job.

The topic the couple talked about was of course related to their son's recent status.

"How do you feel about his mood?" his wife asked him on the other end of the phone.

"I feel? I don't know... His behavior is quite normal. He has been talking and laughing in the past two days, and there is nothing different about him."

"Isn't that great?"

"If it's true, then of course it's good. I'm afraid that he's pretending to prevent me from worrying... In fact, the pressure inside is not less at all. I can't tell him, because I'm afraid that if I say too much, he'll be upset. The pressure is even greater... Sigh!" Chen Hantang sighed. "Sometimes, it's not good for this child to be too sensible..."

"I don't think our son is as fragile as you said." The wife comforted her husband on the other end of the phone. "You two have been your son's leader in football for so many years. Don't you know each other well enough? What's wrong? Just say it directly."

Chen Hantang laughed at himself: "Who am I to lead the way? He has already run far away, to a place where I can't catch up. Now I can only take care of his personal life and help him deal with it." Some chores. Even transfers, we still have to rely on Mr. Song’s agency..."

"That's not what you said, Lao Chen. If you hadn't bought him the first football and you took him to play football, would he be able to embark on the path of a professional player now?"

"I didn't know he had football talent at the time, I just wanted to play with him... Besides, can the kind of playing football in the past compare with professional football now? Let me tell you, I was thinking about waiting for this. After the season ended, I stopped going out with him after I returned to China. But I was worried... Just take what happened this time, for example. His condition suddenly disappeared, inexplicably. If he was the only one, I would be really worried about him. I don’t have time to talk about anything, I just take care of everything myself..."

The wife was silent on the other end of the phone because what her husband said made sense.

Seeing that his wife was silent, Chen Hantang said to himself: "Let's take a look first, don't worry, we have to wait until the end of this season and the World Cup to talk..."

His mumbling was interrupted by his wife: "I always feel that our son is stronger than you think, and his optimism is not fake."

Chen Hantang retorted: "Do you know?"

"Of course I know, he was born to me."

"I'm still his father!"

"You call it concern and chaos. You see, I'm not worried."

"You don't care at all. Let me ask you, will you watch the game the day after tomorrow?"

"What are you watching? There's a game at two or three in the morning. If I watch it, do I still have to go to work the next day?"

"I told you to resign..."

The wife sternly rejected her husband: "It's impossible. Work is an important part of realizing a woman's own value."

"That's okay..."
