"Lao Hu Lao Hu, which is the best hot pot in Jincheng?"

Hu Lai's mobile phone received a WeChat message from Li Chengwu.

"Any one is delicious, why do you want to invite me and Lao Wang to dinner?" Hulay replied.

"Okay, when we win you, I'll please!"

"Stingy, if you don't want to ask, just say it, what do you want to do with this kind of unfulfilled wish? Otherwise, when the game is over, let Chen Xingyi invite us to eat! ”

"Who is Chen Xingyi?"

"Damn, Li Chengwu, did you do it on purpose? Is this stalk unpassable? ”

"No, I really don't know who Chen Xingyi is......"

"You don't even know the best player in Chinese high school, how did you get involved?"

"Ah, I remember, the one with the Golden Arrow...... Oh, he's gone to your shining star? ”

"That's right, in Saturday's game, your Heihe Polar Star will face an attack lineup composed of me, Chen Xingyi, and Zhang Qinghuan, so I asked you if you are afraid?"

"Huh? Didn't the media say that Chen Xingyi would not start? "Li Chengwu found a blind spot.

Then he saw that Hulay had withdrawn the message.

Well?

Li Chengwu's eyes widened.

Originally, he didn't take it too seriously, that is, he asked casually, but as soon as Hu Lai withdrew like this, Li Chengwu immediately thought that Hu Lai, this kid, must have said something leaky!

Earned earned earned earned earned!

I didn't expect that I would inadvertently set out the important information of the shining star!

Thinking of this, he deliberately pretended to be stupid: "Eh, Hulai, why are you withdrawing?" ”

"I eat less hot pot, if you want to eat hot pot, you can go to the review online search, according to the star rank, the more stars, the better......"

Ouch, change the subject!

Got it, got it!

"Okay, thank you in advance!"

Li Chengwu found the WeChat account of head coach Yuan Jiang in the address book: "Coach Yuan, guide Yuan, I inquired about a new situation about the Shining Star lineup......

※※※

The stands at the Andong Provincial Sports Centre were buzzing with buzz as it was the team's second home game of the season and the first home game in which both Hulai and Wang Guangwei started.

Just now, the home star scored a goal in the game to take a 1-0 lead.

It was not Hulai who started the game that scored the goal, but Hulai's forward partner, foreign aid Murphy.

Yuan Jiang, the head coach of the Black Pole Star, glanced back at Li Chengwu who was sitting on the bench, and his face was not very good-looking.

Li Chengwu naturally noticed the look in the head coach's eyes looking at him, and he leaned back, trying to shrink into the projection area of his teammates' bodies on the side.

He then set his sights on Hulai, who was celebrating his goal with his teammates on the pitch.

This bastard!

Trick me!

Where did Chen Xingyi start? Aren't you still sitting on the bench?!

He also swore to head coach Yuan that according to his internal report in Shining Star, Chen Xingyi would definitely start this game......

it!

This led to some small errors in the team's planning of targeted tactics......

Li Chengwu doesn't know if this error caused the team to lose the goal, but maybe if Director Yuan has to buckle this pot on his head, he can only take it obediently?

※※※

After Murphy's goal, Chen Xingyi also jumped up from the bench with other substitute teammates to cheer and celebrate the team's goal.

Then he sat down and looked at the pitch with some wistfulness.

The smile on his face faded away.

Shiningxing's bench rules are far less than those of Golden Arrow, in other words, even if he plays on his phone on the bench now, he will not attract the punishment and anger of head coach Zhao Kangming.

He didn't know if this was a common phenomenon in Zhongjia or a phenomenon unique to Shining Star.

It's just that the current Chen Xingyi doesn't have the idea of playing with his mobile phone at all.

Before he was in Golden Arrow, he heard that Hu Lai played in the Chinese League A match across most of China, and Hu Lai scored in the Chinese League A game......

But as for Hulai's specific matches, I haven't actually watched much.

Today was the first time he had seen Hule play in a club team up close.

Unlike the Olympic team on TV, he found that Hulai was more comfortable returning to the club. It's like returning home, taking off your coat, slumping on the sofa casually, doing whatever you want, very free, it is a state of relaxation of the whole body and mind, and it is definitely not the kind of "relaxation" that pretends to be in front of outsiders.

He's really fit into the team.

Although Hulay didn't score, listen to the cheers from the stands when he got the ball.

He belongs here.

Chen Xingyi was a little envious.

In the two years that he and Hulai have not been seen, so much has happened, and Hulai has become much more powerful than before, like a different person.

And only he seems to be still standing still.

Before this game, head coach Zhao Kangming specially talked to him and told him that the run-in with the team was not yet completed, and he was not familiar enough, so don't be in a hurry, take your time, step by step, and always wait for the opportunity.

These words are true, but in the face of Hu Lai's performance, it is really difficult for Chen Xingyi not to be anxious.

He didn't know how long he would have to wait, how long he would have to take his time.

Is it just like watching the former national finals opponents from the bench every game and throwing themselves farther and farther away?

Coach Zhao also comforted him, saying that the span between youth team players and first-team players is very large, and the two teams are simply two worlds. Many youth players end up making a qualified first-team player, and it can take many years in between.

He Chen Xingyi is only twenty years old now, and he can enter the first team, which is already very talented and smooth.

In other words, he has beaten 99 percent of the young people in Chinese football.

Zhao Kangming said this, of course, hoping that Chen Xingyi could calm down and not be impatient.

Chen Xingyi also admitted that Coach Zhao was right, especially about the difference between the youth team and the senior team. Why is it true that you can only be considered a professional player if you play in the first team? Just because not all youth players can guarantee that they will play in the first team, even if you are the best in the youth team, it does not prove that you are capable of being in the first team, or even playing as a substitute in the first team.

In this way, he was able to play as a first-team substitute in the Chinese Super League team Golden Arrows at the age of nineteen, which is really talented.

Not to mention that he entered professional football as a student player.

The training I received since I was a child was different from that of those professional players, and it is normal for there to be a gap.

He knew that Director Zhao didn't lie to him, and he wasn't talking nonsense to comfort him.

If there is no Hu Lai in this world, Chen Xingyi can accept the comfort of Zhao's guidance with peace of mind, and really calm down and develop slowly, waiting for the moment when the opportunity that belongs to him comes, it may take a year, maybe it will take three years, but everyone around him is like this, and Chen Xingyi will not feel that there is anything bad about it.

But now, when he had a sixteen-year-old who only came into contact with football training, and it only took three years to complete the triple jump from the school team to the professional team to the national Olympic team, how do you want Chen Xingyi to accept this reality calmly?

He really wanted to ask Director Zhao, you said so much, it made sense, but ......, "What about Hu Lai?" ”

Why can Hulai ignore these rules, and why doesn't Hulai have to wait slowly on the bench for his chance?

As long as he thought of these whys, it was difficult for Chen Xingyi to accept his fate calmly.

Of course, in the end, Chen Xingyi still controlled his emotions and didn't really ask that.

※※※

"When Hulay came back, the team's offensive performance was really different."

Although this goal was not scored by Hu Lai, assistant coach Chen Mo was still full of praise for Hu Lai's performance.

With him on the court, the Shink's offensive threat is directly raised by a notch, and even if he doesn't score, the opponent must send more troops to defend him and watch out for cold arrows that may appear at any time.

In this way, it naturally gives other players the opportunity to score.

That's how Murphy scored just now - Hulai ran to grab the point, and the players of the Black Pole Star thought that the Twinkle attack would definitely pass the football to the front point.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qinghuan passed the football to the back point, there was a vacancy.

Murphy plugged in from behind, leapt to the top, and just like that, slammed the ball into the North Star goal.

"Because our offense has a direction." Head coach Zhao Kangming said. 'He's on the pitch and everybody knows exactly what to do when attacking – look at Hulai, see where he is, see how he moves. Whether he passes the ball or breaks through with the ball, he uses his actions as a reference. ”

"I feel like after a trip to the Olympic team, Hulai is playing with more confidence."

"That's it, full of confidence, after all, he won the East Asian Cup championship, the top scorer, the best player, the trinity......" Zhao Kangming added in his heart: He can beat his teammates in the locker room, do you think he has confidence now?

Last season, Hu Lai was still a "little brother" who needed to be taken care of by others in the team, and he gradually integrated into the team under the leadership of Wang Guangwei.

And now he is like a "veteran" in front of the new players who have joined the team.

Especially in front of Chen Xingyi.

Thinking of Chen Xingyi, Zhao Kangming looked down at the time.

There are still thirty minutes left until the end of the game.

He thought about it, since the team's offensive momentum is good now, should Chen Xingyi be replaced, so that he can familiarize himself with the team's offensive routine with Hulai on the court, after all, the future shining stars will still play on the premise of Hulai on the court.

In Zhao Kangming's mind, Chen Xingyi did not come to make a spare tire for Hu Lai.

Anyone can be replaced, but Hulai, whose role in the team is very important, cannot be easily replaced.

He wanted to see what kind of chemical reaction the four of them could have when Chen Xingyi and Hu Lai, as well as Zhang Qinghuan and Qin Lin together.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kangming turned his head to Chen Mo and said, "Let Chen Xingyi warm up." ”

※※※

Why is Chen Xingyi sure that the head coach Zhao Kangming, who has never worked with him before, is really good for him, and what he said to him is true?

Because although he didn't perform well in the first game, Director Zhao still let him come off the bench in every next game.

Through this detail, Chen Xingyi can see that Director Zhao really wants to let himself and the team run in more, instead of saying one thing after another.

No, assistant coach Chen Mo came to inform him and asked him to warm up.

Chen Xingyi knew that he was going to come off the bench again.

He didn't know who he would replace, but he thought there was a chance that he would not be able to replace Hulai.

This time in front of Hu Lai, he must show a good performance, it is impossible for Hu Lai to look down!

With such an idea, Chen Xingyi ran to the warm-up area and started to warm up very seriously.

※※※

Five minutes later, Chen Xingyi stood on the sidelines and was about to be substituted.

The fourth official next to him was fiddling with the electronic number plate of the substitution.

Chen Xingyi already knew who he would replace, not Hulai, but Murphy, the foreign striker who scored for the team.

Seeing this scene, Chen Hantang, who was sitting in the box of the stadium stands, stood up from his chair, walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass window, and stared condescendingly at his son's back.

He knew very well that choosing to go on loan from Golden Arrows to Shiningstar was an adventure with no future.

It's a bit of a crazy gamble.

If his son can't succeed in Shiningxing, China is big, but he doesn't know where to let his son go. Don't...... Take your son abroad to try your luck?

For the sake of his son's professional football career, he resigned to be his agent, hoping to help pave the way for his son.

As a result, the road was paved, and it seemed to be going further and further......

originally thought that from the highly competitive Chinese Super League to the Central League, with his son's strength, it should be easy to get ahead.

Unexpectedly, because he came to the flash star because of the close transfer deadline, his son missed the team's training camp and missed the opportunity to run in with the new team.

One wrong step, one wrong step.

His son is still in the process of getting acquainted with the team and the new environment.

That Zhao Kangming was right when he said to his son, be patient and wait.

But the question is that his son has been in the shining star for a season, how long can he be patient?

Be patient, what if half of the season has passed?

Chen Hantang looked down at his watch and found that Zhao Kangming had given his son about twenty-five minutes of playing time in this game.

The last game was twenty minutes, and the last one was fifteen minutes.

Each game has five more minutes of playing time than the last one.

Zhao Kangming must not want to give up Xingyi like this, right?

Seize your chance, son!

Chen Hantang stood in the box and looked at his son's back, and said in his heart.

Because your manager isn't always that generous......

Especially now that Hulay has returned, his attacking needs may not be as urgent as before.
