Fox in the Penalty Area

After Hu Lai scored the goal, the stands of the Provincial Sports Center burst into cheers.

This goal helped Flash Star to seal the victory. With little time left in the game, they still played at home. A two-goal lead basically meant that the game was won.

Hou Lai scored in his first game back with the team.

This kind of performance satisfied the Flash Star fans.

Isn't it just a few goals for them to come to watch the game?

First of all, of course, the team I supported won the victory, and secondly, Hu Lai was able to score goals.

Both goals are now accomplished.

Some fans have already pulled out their mobile phones in the stands to ask friends who are also fans where to eat and drink after watching the game, and have a good chat about today's game.

The catering people in Jincheng are also very happy-the business is going to be good again tonight!

Li Chengwu was still sitting on the bench, watching his teammates in the Olympic team being cheered by the fans, feeling a little sour in his heart.

Take a look at their football market, look at their treatment...

Of course, Hu Lai is not only the main player in the Olympic team, but also the main player when he returns to the club.

It's completely different from people like me who are substitutes in both the Olympic team and the club.

It would be great if one day I could shine like Hu Lai on the court...

That must be beautiful!

Just when Li Chengwu was fantasizing about how he would celebrate after scoring a goal in the game, the assistant coach called him from the bench.

"Go warm up!"

Li Chengwu quickly got up and ran to the warm-up area.

At the same time, he knew very well that Director Yuan had basically given up on winning the away game.

Because he is already going to send young players like him to practice - it is obvious that Director Yuan did not let him play to make himself able to turn the tide, and he does not have the ability...

※※※

Li Chengwu expected well.

After he played, Heibei Star did not set off a counterattack frenzy in the away game, and the players played without desire.

Flashing Star also slowed down the tempo cooperatively.

The two teams spent all the remaining game time in this way.

At the end of the game, Anton Shining Star defeated Heihe Polaris 2:0 at home and won the second victory of the season.

Also got the winning bonus, everyone is very happy.

At the post-match press conference, head coach Zhao Kangming talked about Chen Xingyi and Hu Lai:

"...I am very happy that Hou Lai was able to score in the first game back to the team. He maintained a good state and did not show fatigue. This is very important for the team. After all, this The season has a lot of doubles a week..."

Now as the head coach, Zhao Kangming can talk about Hu Lai's important role to the team very directly, but he rarely did so last season.

On the one hand, it was because doing so might put pressure on Hu Lai, and on the other hand, Hu Lai hadn't risen to the core of the team's offense at that time.

But it's different now. Flash Star's offensive tactics in the pre-season training camp were designed around Hu Lai, and Zhao Kangming used Hu Lai as a reference when arranging personnel.

In addition, after the successful performance last season and Hu Lai's experience in the Olympic Team's East Asian Cup, Zhao Kangming is full of confidence in Hu Lai, thinking that now he doesn't have to worry about being too stressed.

Zhao Kangming was not ignorant of how much pressure he was under before playing the South Korean team in the first game of the East Asian Cup. Maybe Hu Lai played in Flash Star for a season, and the pressure added up was not as great as that game.

The results of it?

Hou Lai handed over a report card such as a hat-trick under tremendous pressure.

What else can I say?

This man was born with a big heart.

So blow it to death!

There is no need to worry about whether this will bring any pressure to Hu Lai!

Speaking of Chen Xingyi, Zhao Kangming also brought Hu Lai: "...I know that the two of them have known each other since they were student players, so I arranged for Chen Xingyi and Hu Lai to play at the same time.

I want to see if the two of them can create some sparks. As a result, as you can see, the goal was really beautiful, and they were no longer sparks, but a raging fire! "

Speaking of this, the reporters roared with laughter, and Zhao Kangming also laughed.

In fact, after the game, Chen Xingyi was asked by reporters about his relationship with Hu Lai.

"Know him well? Well... We did know each other when we were students. Did you think about the next goal before the cross? Actually when I crossed, I didn't think so much, I just thought As long as the football is passed, Hu Lai will definitely be in the middle. Facts have proved that Hu Lai has lived up to my pass. He feels really good in front of the goal. Do you like to play on the side or in the middle? It doesn’t matter whether you like it or not. I like it. Anyway, the coach asked me to play, and I will complete the tasks given to me by the coach. I can play on the wing or in the middle. What do you think of my performance in this game? It’s okay... I will continue to work hard , and hope that this state of affairs can continue.”

So what does Hu Lai think of Chen Xingyi?

"We have a good relationship, how good is the relationship? I don't need to look at him on the field, just run, I know he will definitely pass the football to me. He is the same, don't need to look at me, just pass, I know It will definitely appear where he passes the ball... Yes, there is such a tacit understanding! We only practiced together for ten days? So what? Our tacit understanding cannot be cultivated by training together for a few days!"

"So it is!"

Chen Xingyi, who was eating, heard his father suddenly put down his chopsticks and patted the table lightly.

"What is that?" he asked strangely.

"I just thought about what happened when you were still in high school. I remember once I found out that you were secretly following the Anton Cup. At that time, I was surprised. You don't play the Anton Cup. Why are you so concerned about games in other provinces... So you've been paying attention to Hu Lai since then, right?" Chen Hantang looked at his son and asked after explaining.

"Uh, Dad, you're right to think so... It's just that I paid attention to Hu Lai earlier than that."

"Earlier?"

"Well, Dad, do you know about Wang Guangwei..." Chen Xingyi simply put down the bowl and chopsticks, and told his father the story of him and Hu Lai from the beginning.

...

"So that's how it is, that's how it is... You only paid attention to Hu Lai at the beginning because you wanted to defeat him. I didn't expect that now, by accident, it will help you integrate into Shining Star." After listening to his son's story, Chen Hantang let out a sigh of relief. . "Oh, if we had known earlier, we should have chosen to come to Shining Star in the first place, and this has come full circle..."

Chen Xingyi shook his head: "Then who knew there would be so many things in the future?"

"It's true... If you don't go to the Golden Arrow to see and see, you won't think it's a good choice to come to Shanxing. But it doesn't matter, everything you have experienced in the past has shaped who you are now. Since your understanding of Hu Lai helped you You are integrated into the current flashing star. Then maybe your experience in the Golden Arrow will become your wealth one day?" Chen Hantang said.

Chen Xingyi nodded.

"By the way, Star, we can't always stay in hotels, can we?"

"correct."

"I want to go and see the house tomorrow. Let's rent a house to live in. Do you want to rent in Jincheng City or Liucheng where the training base is located?" Chen Hantang asked his son for advice.

"Liucheng, it's close to the training base." Chen Xingyi said.

People say that Jincheng is a city that you don’t want to leave once you come here, which means that there are many places to eat and play, and the nightlife is also extremely rich, which makes it easy for people to linger.

But Chen Xingyi is not interested in these.

He came to Jincheng to play football well and save his career, not to come here to see the tenderness of Jincheng's girls.

"Okay, Dad will help you watch the house tomorrow. As for you, just concentrate on training. I will help you with the things in life, don't be distracted. The next game is the Football Association Cup. I think Director Zhao should be in this game." Rotation is used in the game. After all, there will be a lot of double matches in the next week. As far as your performance in this game is concerned, I think you will start the game. If you play well and continue your performance in this game, you will be considered We have initially gained a firm foothold in Flashing Star."

Chen Hantang analyzed it for his son, and Chen Xingyi nodded repeatedly.

"After fighting for the end of the season, we will return to the Golden Arrow, which has been completely reborn!"

"Okay, Dad, don't worry."

"Hu Lai, are the things you said in front of the reporter really okay?" Wang Guangwei expressed his doubts.

"What else? Do you want me to tell the reporters how Chen Xingyi blackmailed us? I don't care. I'm just a poor and innocent victim in this matter..."

"No, I mean you brag about the tacit understanding between yourself and Chen Xingyi...how can you say it so well? During training, you two often have situations where you can't step on it."

Hu Lai chuckled, and asked very proudly, "Old Wang, haven't you found out yet?"

"Find what?"

"My idiosyncrasies."

Wang Guangwei hesitated for a moment and said, "Cheap?"

"……go away!"

"No...then what other qualities do you have?" Wang Guangwei was also very aggrieved, he was just telling the truth, people nowadays, why can't they listen to the truth?

"...Didn't you realize that my performance in training and in the game doesn't exactly match? Sometimes my performance in training is just average, but I can score goals when I play, hey, you say it's annoying Angry?" Hu Lai spread his hands.

Wang Guangwei nodded expressionlessly: "It's quite irritating."

Didn't Lai Zekai leave because of your anger? It is said that before he left, the club wanted to hold a farewell ceremony for him, but he refused directly, and left in a hurry, as if he wanted to leave the team as soon as possible...

"So don't take my performance in training as a reference, and calculate my performance in the game. Let me tell you that the actual game is more free, and it is more conducive to my performance."

Wang Guangwei fell into silence.

Although Hu Lai's words were a bit embarrassing, he had to admit that it was true.

If you only look at training, Hu Lai is an ordinary player at the same level as most people.

But on the court, they can score goals.

It's like this in the Olympic team, and it's the same in Shining Star.

Isn't the ultimate indicator of a striker scoring goals?

As long as Hu Lai can score goals and keep scoring goals like this, then he is a top striker.

He can even score goals as long as he plays, how many people care about his performance in training?

Seeing that Wang Guangwei was lost in thought, Hu Lai decided to strike while the iron was hot and consolidate his personality: "If you don't believe me, wait until the next game to see if Xiao Xingxing and I have a tacit understanding when we play."

"The next game?" Wang Guangwei thought for a while, then shook his head, "You two may not be able to play at the same time in the next game."

"Ok?"

"The next game is the FA Cup. It will be next Wednesday, and then there will be a league game next Saturday. Three games will be played in seven days. Do you think Director Zhao will let you play in the FA Cup? It must be the priority to ensure your appearance in the league Ah. How can you still have the stamina to play Saturday's league game after playing in the midweek FA Cup?"

Hu Lai was stunned.

He completely forgot about it.

The FA Cup... For teams that have no intention of striving for honor in this competition, the FA Cup is generally for young players or substitute players to find their game status.

Besides, in the third round of the Football Association Cup, the opponents that the Chinese A team can meet here are basically the Chinese B teams who have played from the first and second rounds. The opponents are not strong, and there is no need to send the main force players.

With double matches a week, the FA Cup in the middle of this week will definitely rest the main players.

But he can't rest!

[Consonance Card] lasts for three games. These three games don't mean that his last game is counted as one, but start from the use of this card, regardless of whether the user plays or not, it will start counting.

Even if the last game between Flashing Star and Polaris was used up.

There are still two games, which will correspond to the next FA Cup match and the fifth round of the league on Saturday.

If he can't play in the FA Cup, wouldn't it be a waste of a game?

Now that the country is advocating saving, how can it be so wasteful?

"No." Hu Lai said suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Wang Guangwei didn't react at all.

"I have to talk to Director Zhao."

"About what?"

"Let me play in the FA Cup, I want to play in the FA Cup." Hu Lai said with a straight face, "I was going to play in the East Asian Cup before, and I missed the three rounds of the league before the start of the team's season. Isn't the FA Cup just right now? Will I make up for the game I missed?"

"What's there to make up for, Hu Lai?"

Hu Lai didn't answer his question, but turned his head and stared at him, seeing Wang Guangwei in a daze and then gradually getting nervous: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Old Wang, the club paid me a pre-tax salary of 150,000 yuan in March. With such a high salary, I went to the Olympic team to play in the East Asian Cup. I gained honor and fame, but I missed the club's first three league games. The team only won one victory in these three games, and the league ranking once dropped to fourteenth... I have to make up for these three games, right? Let me tell you , not only this FA Cup match, I have also decided that I will participate in the next FA Cup matches! The kindness of dripping water should be repaid by springs, and I will play a few more FA Cup matches with the 150,000 yuan What happened to the cup match?"

What Hu Lai said was so upright and serious that Wang Guangwei was a little shaken: "What you said makes sense. Then... I will go with you to find Director Zhao..."

Hu Lai shook his head: "You don't have to learn from me, Lao Wang."

"Why? I also missed the first three rounds..."

"Do you have a monthly salary of 150,000, old Wang?" Hu Lai asked.

Wang Guangwei:? ? ?
