Chapter 339: The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring
After Hu Lai scored, the stands of the Provincial Sports Center burst into cheers.
This goal helped the Stars seal the victory. With little game time left, they were still playing at home. A two-goal lead basically meant that the game was won.
Hulay scored in his first game back with the team.
This performance satisfied Flash Star fans.
Aren’t they just going to have a few goals when they come to watch the game?
The first is of course that the team he supports wins, and the second is that Hulay can score.
Both goals are now accomplished.
Some fans have already taken out their mobile phones in the stands to ask friends who are also fans to go 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 - business is going to be good again tonight!
Li Chengwu was still sitting on the bench, feeling a little sad when he saw his teammates on the Olympic team being cheered by the fans.
Look at this football market, look at their treatment...
Of course, this kid Hu Lai not only plays the main force in the Olympic team, but also plays the main force when he returns to the club.
It is completely different from someone like me who is a substitute whether in the Olympic team or in the club.
It would be great if one day I could be like Hu Lai and shine brightly on the court...
That must be so beautiful!
Just when Li Chengwu was fantasizing about how he would celebrate after scoring a goal in the game, the assistant coach called him up 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 this game away from home.
Because young players like him have already been sent to train - obviously Director Yuan did not let him play to turn the tide, and he did not have the ability...
※※※
Li Chengwu's expectation was good.
After he came on the field, Heihe Polaris did not set off a counterattack frenzy in the away game, and the players played without desire.
Flashing Star also slowed down the pace very cooperatively.
The two teams just spent all the remaining game time.
At the end of the game, Anton Shining Stars defeated Heihe Polar Stars 2:0 at home and won their second victory of the season.
We also got the winning bonus and everyone was very happy.
At the post-match press conference, head coach Zhao Kangming talked about Chen Xingyi and Hu Lai:
"...I am very happy that Hulay was able to score in the first game back to the team. He maintained a good condition and showed no fatigue. This is very important for the team, after all, this There are many double games per week during the season..."
Now as 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 considered that doing so might put pressure on Hu Lai, and on the other hand, Hu Lai had not yet risen to the core of the team's offense at that time.
But things are different now. The offensive tactics of the Flash Stars in pre-season training are designed around Hu Lai. Zhao Kangming refers to Hu Lai when arranging personnel matching.
In addition, after Hu Lai's successful performance last season and Hu Lai's experience in the East Asian Cup with the Olympic team, Zhao Kangming is full of confidence in Hu Lai and believes that now he does not have to worry about being under too much pressure.
Before playing the South Korean team in the first game of the East Asian Cup, Zhao Kangming didn't know how much pressure he was under. Maybe when Hu Lai plays for a season in Flash Star, the combined pressure will not be as high as the pressure in that game.
The result?
Hu Lai surrendered a hat trick under tremendous pressure.
What else can be said?
This man is 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 with him: "...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 wanted to see them. Can the two of them generate some sparks? As you can see, that goal was really beautiful. It was no longer a spark, but a raging fire!"
At this point, the reporters burst into laughter, and Zhao Kangming also laughed.
In fact, after the game, Chen Xingyi was asked by reporters about his relationship with Hu Lai.
"Do you know him very well? That's right... We did know each other when we were student players. Did you already think about the next goal before crossing the ball? In fact, I didn't think so much when I crossed the ball. I just thought As long as I pass the football, Hu Lai will definitely be in the middle. It turns out 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 wing or in the middle? In fact, it doesn’t matter if you like it or not. Anyway, if the coach asks me to play, I will complete the task given by the coach. I can play on the wing or in the middle. What do you think of the performance? It’s okay... I will continue to work hard and hope to continue this state.”
So what does Hu Lai think of Chen Xingyi?
"We have a very good relationship. How good is our relationship? I don't have to look at him on the court, just run, and I know he will pass the football to me. The same goes for him, he doesn't even have to look at me, he just passes the ball, and he knows that I 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? The tacit understanding between the two of us cannot be cultivated by training together!"

"So that's it!"
Chen Xingyi, who was eating, heard his father across from him suddenly put down his chopsticks and patted the table lightly.
"What turned out to be like this?" he asked strangely.
"I just thought about what happened when you were still in high school. I remember one time I found you secretly paying attention to the Anton Cup. At that time, I was surprised. You don't play in the Anton Cup, so why are you paying so much attention to competitions in other provinces... It turns out that you have been paying attention to Hu Lai since then, right?" Chen Hantang looked at his son and asked after explaining.
"Well, Dad, you are 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.
……
"That's it, that's it... You only paid attention to Hu Lai because you wanted to defeat him at first. Unexpectedly, through some combination of circumstances, it actually helped you integrate into Flashing Star." Chen Hantang let out a sigh of relief after listening to his son's story. . "Oh, if I had known earlier, we should have chosen to come to Shining Star in the first place. This has come full circle..."
Chen Xingyi shook his head: "Then who knew there would be so many things in the future?"
"That's true... If you don't go to Golden Arrow to see more, you won't think that coming to Flashing Star is a good choice. But it doesn't matter. Everything you have experienced in the past has shaped you now. Since your understanding of Hu Lai helped If you integrate into the current Flash Star, maybe your experience in Golden Arrow will become your wealth one day?" Chen Hantang said.
Chen Xingyi nodded.
"By the way, Stars, we can't always stay in hotels, right?"
"That's right."
"I want to go look at the house tomorrow and let's rent a house. Do you think we should rent it in downtown Jincheng or in Liucheng where the training base is located?" Chen Hantang asked for his son's opinion.
"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 have fun here, and the nightlife is also extremely rich, making it easy for people to forget to leave.
But Chen Xingyi was not interested in any of this.
He came to Jincheng to play football well and save his career, not to see the tenderness of Jincheng girls.
"Okay, tomorrow dad will help you look after the house. As for you, just concentrate on training. I will help you solve the things in life, don't be distracted. The next game is the Football Association Cup, and I think Director Zhao should be there. Rotation is used in the game. After all, there are many double matches in the next week. Based on your performance in this game, I think you will probably start the game and you can continue your performance in this game. Established a preliminary foothold in Flashing Star.”
Chen Hantang analyzed for his son, and Chen Xingyi nodded repeatedly.
"After one season, we will return to the Golden Arrow and it will be completely different!"
"Okay, dad, don't worry."

"Hu Lai, are there really no problems with what you said in front of reporters?" Wang Guangwei expressed his doubts.
"What else? Do you want me to tell reporters how Chen Xingyi blocked us? I don't care, I am just a poor and innocent victim in this matter..."
"No, I mean you brag about your tacit understanding with Chen Xingyi... how can you say it so well? During training, you two often have trouble getting on with each other."
Hu Lai laughed and asked very proudly: "Lao Wang, haven't you noticed yet?"
"What did you find?"
"My characteristics."
Wang Guangwei hesitated and said: "Cheap?"
"...Get out!"
"No...then what other qualities do you have?" Wang Guangwei was also very aggrieved. He was just telling the truth. Why can't people nowadays listen to the truth?
"...Have you not noticed that my performance in training and in the game do not completely match? Sometimes my performance in training is average, but I can score goals when I go on the field. Hey, don't you think it's annoying? Annoying?" Hu Lai spread his hands.
Wang Guangwei nodded expressionlessly: "It's quite irritating."
Isn't it just because your boy made Lai Zekai so angry? It is said that the club wanted to hold a farewell ceremony for him before he left, but he refused directly and left in a hurry, as if he was eager to leave the team as soon as possible...
"So don't use my performance in training as a reference to calculate my performance in the game. Let me tell you that the actual game is more free and more conducive to my performance."
Wang Guangwei fell into silence.
Although what Hu Lai said was a bit unflattering, he had to admit that it was also true.
If you only look at training, Hu Lai is an ordinary player on the same level as most people.
But when he gets on the court, he can score goals.
This is the case in the Olympic team, and it is also the case in Flash Star.
Isn't the ultimate indicator of a striker scoring goals?
As long as Hulay can score goals and keep scoring goals like this, then he will be a top forward.
He can even score goals as long as he plays. How many people care about his performance in training?
Hu Lai saw that Wang Guangwei was deep in thought, so he decided to strike while the iron was hot to consolidate his character: "If you don't believe me, wait until the next game to see if Little Xingxing and I have a tacit understanding when we play."
"Next game?" Wang Guangwei thought for a moment, then shook his head, "You two may not be able to play at the same time in the next game."
"Huh?"
"The next game is the FA Cup, next Wednesday, and then there is the league next Saturday. Three games in seven days. Do you think Director Zhao can still let you play in the FA Cup? The priority must be to ensure that you play in the league. Ah. How can you still have the energy to play in the league on Saturday after playing in the FA Cup in midweek?
Hu Lai was stunned.
He had completely forgotten about it.
Football Association Cup... For teams that have no intention of striving for honors in this event, the Football Association Cup usually allows young players or substitute players to find their match status.
Besides, in the third round of the Football Association Cup, the opponents that the Chinese League One teams will encounter here are basically the Chinese League Two teams that came up from the first and second rounds. The opponents are not strong and there is no need to send in their main players. players.
With a double match a week, the FA Cup in the middle of the week will definitely rest the main players.
But he can't rest!
The duration of the [Lingxi Card] is three games. These three games do not mean that the last game counts. It starts counting from the time this card is used, regardless of whether the user plays or not.
The last game between Flashing Star and Polaris was a game that was used up.
There are still two games, which will correspond to the next FA Cup match and Saturday's fifth round of the league.
If he can't play in the FA Cup, wouldn't it be a wasted game?
Now that the country is advocating conservation, how can we 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."
"What to talk about?"
"Let me play in the FA Cup. I want to play in the FA Cup." Hu Lai said with an upright face. "Before, I went to play in the East Asian Cup and missed the three rounds of the league before the start of the team's season. Now the FA Cup is just right. Will I make up for the games I missed?”
"What's there to do, Hu Lai?"
Hu Lai did not answer his question, but turned to stare at him, which made Wang Guangwei confused and then gradually became angry: "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"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 fell to fourteen... without a single game. With this 150,000 yuan, I have to make up for these three games, right? Let me tell you, not only this FA Cup game, I have also decided to participate in the next FA Cup games! The kindness should be repaid with a spring of water. What if I play a few more FA Cup games with this 150,000? "
What Hu Lai said was so righteous 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, Lao Wang?" Hu Lai asked.
Wang Guangwei:? ? ? (End of chapter)
