Chapter 586 Hu Lai, we are not done yet
“The roster for the top 12 national team matches has been announced, including Hu Lai!”
"Hu Lai has finally entered the national team! Although it is late, he has arrived. He should have entered long ago!"
"Our Chinese team is currently facing a serious situation of weak forwards. Ever since Gao Chen was injured and was eliminated, the forwards have basically no scoring ability...Zeng Yuanzheng can even be a scorer in the national team. The problem is that he was given to Tenglong The foreign player is a support player... He is not good at scoring at all! This shows how serious our scoring problem is now... Hu Lai's selection for the national team really solves our urgent need!"
"Don't be too optimistic upstairs. It's impossible for Hu Lai to play in the game right away. No matter what problems there are in the Chinese team's forward line now, it is also a mature lineup and tactics. Suddenly changing tactics for a newcomer, in the distance It is basically impossible to reach the top 12 in less than a week..."
"Don't be so sure. At least you have more hope and expectation."
"That's true. I also hope that Hu Lai can solve the problem of difficulty in scoring for our national team..."
When the news media announced the national team's roster for the top 12 tournament on the Internet, it immediately aroused heated discussions among netizens and fans.
And this is not the kind of training list that will eventually eliminate a few people. This is the list of the Chinese team that has signed up to participate in the top 12 games. Appearing on this list means that Hu Lai is qualified to represent the Chinese team in the top 12 games. ——As long as he can conquer head coach Wilson, he can represent the Chinese team.
That's why everyone is so excited.
As these netizens discussed, the Chinese national team has been plagued by "powerlessness" for a long time.
It's really ironic to say that there has never been a shortage of outstanding forwards in the past. Chinese football, which is the envy of neighboring Japan, will now lack outstanding scorers.
This may be related to the development trend of world football today.
Midfielders have gradually become the main scoring force, while forwards have become more of a tactical link, responsible for creating opportunities for teammates and opening up space, without being involved in scoring goals. Football has become more and more holistic, but as a result, the responsibilities and boundaries of each position have become increasingly blurred.
Gao Chen was originally the person who had great hope to break the current situation of China's weak forwards. He had won the local top scorer of the Chinese Super League twice in Shanhai Mariners and Capital Tenglong.
But it is a pity that in the top 12 of the last World Cup, he was seriously injured by South Korean player Park Sung-heung. After recovering from the injury, not only did his physical fitness decline significantly, but he also lost his sense of smell and confidence in front of goal.
Nowadays, he has gradually changed his playing style and position, playing deeper and deeper in the club, from a forward to a central midfielder.
However, in the national team, he still plays forward.
This also shows how much the national team is short of forwards.

The strong response to Hulay's selection into the national team was not only from fans online, but also from Hulay's teammates in the Olympic team.
Although the Chinese Olympic team has been disbanded, the WeChat group of the Chinese Olympic team has not been disbanded.
After Wang Zijian forwarded the news link about Hu Lai being selected for the national team in the group, he circled Hu Lai and shouted: "Hurry up, Hu Lai, send a red envelope! Let me tell you, you will never get through without sending a big red envelope today!"
Soon Song Kun also bubbled up and echoed: "That's right! Big red envelope! The first national team player from our Olympic team must be treated like this! Whoever is selected for the national team in the future will follow this standard!"
"Same as above!"
"Second!"
People keep coming out to trap Hu Lai.
At this moment, Hu Lai was entertaining his roommates for dinner in a high-end Chinese restaurant. Listening to the ding-dong-ding-dong sound, he picked up his phone and took a look at it before putting it down, pretending that nothing happened, and continued eating meat.
But Wang Guangwei and Chen Xingyi, whose mobile phones were also dinging non-stop, picked up their mobile phones one after another, and then shouted: "Big red envelope! Hu Lai, hurry up!"
"This is the voice of the people, do you hear it? Do you want to stand on the opposite side of the people?!"
Hu Lai angrily yelled at the two guys who were eating everything in, "Is this meal for free?"
"You invited us, and you didn't invite all the teammates from the Olympic team. If you had invited them, we will definitely be on your side!" Chen Xingyi decided to celebrate with a drink today... No, to kill Hu Lai, let him know the price of entering the national team!
Others who are not in the Olympic team group also said after learning about the situation that Hu Lai should send a red envelope, and not the kind of red envelope where one dollar is divided into one hundred shares.
Seeing the danger of betrayal and separation, Hu Lai had no choice but to pick up his mobile phone and start operating it while chewing his teeth.
He originally wanted to give out a red envelope worth two hundred yuan, but after thinking about what Song Kun said just now, whoever is selected for the national team must follow this standard... He no longer has to worry about giving out red envelopes, but the national team There are more than 20 people in the Olympic team. There can always be ten people who join the national team, right?
Everyone is given a red envelope, and I guess I can get back the money...
So he finally put 500 yuan in the red envelope. There were 25 people in the group, and he divided it into 25 copies. The title of the red envelope read: Based on this standard, everyone has a share!
Click Send again.
The moment the red envelope was sent out, he opened it and grabbed one first.
I grabbed eighty-eight cents.
"Damn!"
"Pfft, 0.88, how lucky!" Chen Xingyi joked after grabbing the red envelope and seeing the amount of money Hu Lai grabbed. He grabbed twenty-three dollars and sixty-four cents, and was content with what he had. Anyway, as long as he grabbed more than Hu Lai, he would be mentally balanced.
"Wow, that's a big bag!" After everyone grabbed the red envelope and saw the amount of money inside, they all sent out "Thank you boss" emoticons.
Hu Lai gritted his teeth and said in the group: "Whoever is selected for the national team for the first time in the future must follow this standard! Five hundred yuan, twenty-five copies, even one penny or one copy will not work!"
< br>
Below is the formation of everyone: "The boss has the final say!"

"Uncle Qiu, I'm not convinced. Hu Lai can join the national team, so why can't I?" Also at the dinner table, Lin Zhiyuan was complaining to his agent Qiu Xinrong.
"Do you think it's so easy to get into the national team?" Qiu Xinrong glanced at him, "If it weren't for the popular support, Hu Lai might not have been able to get in this time. Even if he did get in, it would probably be a fool's errand. This time the twelve It may be difficult to get a chance in a strong match.”
"Can't play in the game? What else are you going to do?"
"This is a signal sent by the national team to show that it attaches great importance to young players. Hu Lai, as a benchmark figure, of course must be established. Others... just wait. How old are you now? Eighteen years old, you I just want to join the national team, is it too early?”
"Youth is not the only thing that makes you ambitious! What's wrong with being eighteen? If you look at Europe, at eighteen you might have already played thirty times for the national team!"
"This is China. And the goalkeeper is a very special position, which requires experience, and experience is linked to age. You...relax, you have to eat one bite at a time, and first firmly establish yourself as the main goalkeeper in the South China Tigers."
In the Super Cup at the beginning of the year, although Lin Zhiyuan became the starting goalkeeper of the South China Tigers, it was just an opportunity awarded to him by head coach Friedrich Lechmann, and it did not mean that he could play in the South China Tigers. He has become the main goalkeeper completely.
Although Lin Zhiyuan got more playing opportunities with the South China Tigers through his own efforts, Lehman also consciously wanted to train him.
But the two months he spent on the Olympic team interrupted his upward trajectory.
Now that he has returned to the South China Tigers, he will continue to take back the main position from the original main goalkeeper Shao Xiyuan and secure his position.
Lin Zhiyuan certainly knew that what Uncle Qiu said was the right way. The position of goalkeeper is indeed very special.
But he just felt unhappy.
Thinking of this, he picked up his phone again, clicked on Hu Lai's red envelope, and snatched away 108 yuan. He was currently the luckiest teammate in China who grabbed red envelopes.
"I'll go!" Lin Zhiyuan looked at this big number and finally had a clearer idea.

After Luo Kai came back from the Olympics, his mood was not high. He, who didn't talk much to begin with, became even more taciturn.
This situation naturally attracted the attention of the team and club. After asking Zeng Chi to understand the situation. Yesterday, the club's general manager Wang Shoude specially called Luo Kai to the office alone, had a long talk with him and enlightened him.
Tell him that not scoring a goal in the Olympics is not a big deal. He is still young and has a bright future. Don't be depressed because of this little setback.
"It doesn't matter if you don't score in the Olympics. Turn your energy and tone into motivation, keep working hard, and save it for the World Cup!"
These words rekindled the flame in Luo Kai's heart. His gradually cooling furnace was red-hot again, and power reappeared in his body.
Yes, Mr. Wang is right. The status of the Olympic Games in world football is not high. It would be a pity not to score, but I still have the World Cup!
In the future, I will definitely lead the Chinese team to the World Cup, and then score the first goal of Chinese football in this competition at the World Cup!
By then, I will let the whole world know my name, Luo Kai!
By then, I will make Qingqing look at me with admiration!
……
Luo Kai looked down at the red envelope sent by Hu Lai on his phone, but he still didn't click on it.
In his mind, it seemed that taking Hu Lai's red envelope was equivalent to surrendering to Hu Lai. Hu Lai, we are not done yet!
Just wait, I'll chase you!
