Chapter 306 If I were here...
When he saw the football flying into the Tenglong reserve goal, Hu Lai turned and ran towards Li Chengwu who provided him with the assist, then jumped up and high-fived him: "Nice pass!"
Li Chengwu smiled happily. As the first time he was selected for the U22 training team, he naturally hopes to stay with this team and play in the East Asian Cup, and at the same time have the opportunity to participate in the U23 Asian Cup held locally next year.
And his performance in training and games is crucial.
He himself did not expect that he could complete an assist on the field.
Seeing Hu Lai running towards him and praising him for his good pass, he quickly said to Hu Lai: "No, it was you who ran well!"
He is not being modest, or exchanging business blowback with Hu Lai.
Li Chengwu really felt that Hu Lai ran well.
He saw a space and also saw Hu Lai in the space. For him, it was not difficult to pass the football to that space. It didn't require any difficult pass, it was just a push pass.
If Hu Lai does not appear in that position, then the so-called gap is just a gap. Spaces like this can be seen everywhere in the game. As long as there is no one on the court, it can be called a space. However, it is obvious that not every space can threaten the opponent's goal, and not every space can have teammates running into it.
He had already seen Hu Lai's powerful movements in the Chinese League One.
In the "Double Star Showdown" between Flash Star and Polaris, although Hu Lai did not score a goal, he used his off-the-ball movement to create a lot of trouble for the Polaris defenders.
Li Chengwu was on the team's bench at that time and saw it clearly.
Even the controversial penalty kick was brought about by Hu Lai's excellent off-the-ball movement - if his ghostly movement hadn't suddenly appeared in front of Lu Ming, how could Lu Ming have hastily pushed Hu Lai, thus Gave him a chance to fall to the ground?
Of course, now that everyone is teammates, there is no need to mention whether the penalty kick was a flop or not.
After being hurt by Hu Lai's off-ball movement, Li Chengwu has now become the beneficiary of Hu Lai's off-ball movement.
This fate... is so wonderful!

Seeing the U22 players celebrating the equalizer on the court, assistant coach Li Zhifei sighed to Shi Wuyuan off the court: "Xiao Shi, you recruited him because he looks like you when you were young, right?"
Shi Wuyin nodded: "It does mean something like that..."
When he was young, Shi Wuyin was a famous forward in Chinese football. His physical fitness was not outstanding, he was not fast, and he was not strong, but he was the record holder of goals in China's top league - 126 total goals in China's top league. The number of goals scored, no one can beat it so far.
When he was playing football, Shi Wuyin was known for his erratic and flexible movements. People commented that he played with "quite aura".
"Then do you think he can become the second you?" Li Zhifei asked.
"I don't know..." Shi Wuyin shook his head, "And I don't want him to become the second me. That would be too miserable for him... My legs have been seriously injured five times. , Lao Li.”
Li Zhifei stared and said: "Who said this! I mean, will he become the second you in terms of football achievements? Your top league goal record has not been broken yet, and there are also goals in a single season. Ball record..."
In addition to the record of 126 total goals in the top league, Shi Wuyin also set a record of 28 goals in a single season in China's top league, which has not been broken until now. Even among the foreign forwards, no one can score more than 28 goals in a single season in the Chinese Super League.
Shi Wuyin looked at Hu Lai who was celebrating the goal with his teammates on the court and said: "I don't even know about this, Lao Li. There is always a strange phenomenon in football. When a young man with a little talent appears, , whether it is the media, fans, or ourselves, they are keen to find a template for him in previous history and have high hopes for him. Hope, it seems that he should grow up according to the template... But the achievements of the template are too high, young people will feel pressure, and the achievements of the template are mediocre, does that mean that the potential of young people is just that? I don't know? Will Lai become the second me, but I hope he won’t become the second me, we are different.”
Li Zhifei glanced at Shi Wuyin. This man who had won three top league championships, was the top scorer in the top league three times, and was the top scorer in the history of China's top league, had not been able to participate in the World Cup until he retired.
When he said whether Hu Lai would become the second him, it reminded him of Hu Lai's previous World Cup declaration, right?
If he becomes the second Shi Wuyuan, won't he miss out on the World Cup?
"That's right." Li Zhifei smiled. "You are you and he is him. What the future holds depends on his own efforts and development."

Guo Junfu was still observing, and this time he focused his observation on Li Chengwu and Hu Lai.
He found that Li Chengwu's ability to organize offense did not exceed his previous observations.
However, Hu Lai's running position is really powerful.
Once, Hu Lai ran into the space, but Li Chengwu failed to pass the football. The anxious Guo Junfu slapped his thigh hard on the bench, startling the teammates next to him.
Regarding Hu Lai's ability to run without the ball, Guo Junfu has already felt it during training.
But the feeling is not very deep. After all, the team's offensive routine training is determined by the coach and how to move. If you don't pass and run according to the coach's requirements, the coach will directly stop the training and scold the player who made the mistake.
In actual games, it is impossible for the head coach to strictly control every movement of everyone, which further tests the players' ability to perform on the spot.
Guo Junfu discovered that Hu Lai's understanding of offensive routines was far beyond his imagination.
Everyone receives the same training, but Hu Lai is friendlier than other teammates in his choice of running routes and gaps.
After watching for a while, Guo Junfu felt relieved.
He found that it was not Li Chengwu's outstanding strength, but Hu Lai's running position that was so good that he could always run into the space. At this time, as long as Li Chengwu could pass the football, he would almost pose a threat.
But obviously, Li Chengwu cannot always do this.
So the score is still tied at 1:1.
Guo Junfu, who was sitting on the bench, couldn't help but start thinking: If he were on the court, how would he cooperate with Hu Lai?
For example, in his run just now, it seemed that he wanted to go straight forward, but in the end, he stopped suddenly and retreated halfway through the run.
Li Chengwu misunderstood what he meant and passed the football to the front point, causing Hu Lai at the back point to miss the ball.
The anxious Guo Junfu slapped his thigh on the spot.
Why was he anxious? Because when Guo Junfu saw Hu Lai running forward, he started thinking, why did Hu Lai run forward?
There was obviously another forward from the Olympic team, Wang Hua, already there at the previous point, so there was no need for Hu Lai to go. If he goes there again, he will bring the defender who is defending him there, it will be too crowded...
Unless he is deliberately bringing the defensive player forward so that there will be a gap behind him...
right!
That must be it!
It should be passed later!
Sure enough, just as he was thinking this, Hu Lai made an emergency stop and retreated.
But it was a pity that Li Chengwu passed the football to the front point, where the crowd was dense, and the ball was not picked up by the Olympic team players at all.
If I were here, I would pass the football to the back point, which was an opening created by Hu Lai!
Guo Junfu thought in his heart.
In previous trainings, Guo Junfu had only seen Hu Lai's ability to find and run into gaps, but today in the actual game, he also saw Hu Lai's ability to create gaps.
This kid... really has a lot of brushes!
No wonder he was able to score 11 goals in just half a season in the Chinese League One...
He is definitely not just relying on Qin Lin and Zhang Qinghuan to feed him cakes.
Although it was just a warm-up match against the Tenglong reserve team, Guo Junfu believed in his own vision and his judgment after observation.
This was enough for him to see a lot of things.

Shi Wuyin, the head coach of the U22 training team, also saw a lot. He said to Li Zhifei: "No matter what the result of this game is, I have made up my mind. We will use the current tactics as the mainstay in the East Asian Cup."< br>
Li Zhifei nodded in agreement: "I was worried about whether Hu Lai could withstand the defensive pressure with his body in the middle. Now it seems that he is not the kind of forward who can stand in position and fight against the opponent's central defender. Constantly running in and out of the penalty area, using his ability to run without the ball, involve the opponent's defense and create chaos in the opponent's defense. "
"And his strength is not as weak as people think. I think as long as he can withstand an impact from the opponent when catching the ball or shooting, we don't expect him to protect the football in the penalty area and wait for his teammates to come up. Reception. He is better at avoiding defenders to find space to catch the ball and shoot..." Shi Wuyin said. "Old Zhao told me that the club arranged special strength training for Hu Lai. He trained for three months starting from the second half of last season. The pre-season winter training did not relax the requirements for him, and his weight is also higher than When I first came to Flash Star, there were a few more... This is a good thing.”
The two people were talking on the coaching bench when they heard a whistle on the court. Hu Lai had fallen into the penalty area of the Tenglong reserve team.
The referee of this game is pointing his finger at the penalty spot.
Penalty kick!
The players from the Tenglong reserve team surrounded the referee, while the teammates from the U22 training team ran to hug Hu Lai.
It was Li Chengwu who ran first!
He laughed and hugged Hu Lai: "Well done!"
Shi Wuyin and Li Zhifei looked at each other. The former smiled and shook his head: "And Hu Lai is very good at using his physical 'advantage'..."
He emphasized the word "advantage" very strongly. (End of chapter)
