Chapter Ninety-Five: If I Were Here......
When he saw the football fly into the goal of the Tenglong reserve team, Hu Lai turned and ran to Li Chengwu, who gave him an assist, and then jumped up and high-fived him: "Pass beautifully!" ”
Li Chengwu smiled happily, as he was selected for the first time in the U22 training team, he naturally hopes to stay in this team to play in the East Asian Cup, and at the same time have the opportunity to participate in the U23 Asian Cup held on home soil next year.
His performances in training and in games are crucial.
For being able to complete an assist on the field, he himself didn't expect it.
Seeing Hulai running towards him and praising him for his good transmission, he hurriedly said to Hulai: "No, you are a good runner!" ”
He wasn't modest, or he was boasting about business with Hulay.
Li Chengwu really thinks Hu Lai is running well.
He saw an empty space, and also saw Hu Lai in the empty field, for him, it is not difficult to pass the football to that empty field, there is no need for any difficult passes, just a push pass.
If Hulai didn't appear in that position, then the so-called empty dang would just be a vacancy. Gaps like this can be found everywhere in the game, as long as there is no one on the pitch, it can be called an open-mouth, but it is clear that not every open-air can threaten the opponent's goal, and not every empty-time can have teammates run in.
For Hulai's strong running, he had seen it in the Chinese League.
In that "two-star matchup" between Twinkle and Polaris, although Hulai did not score, he used his off-ball running to cause a lot of problems for Polaris' defenders.
At that time, Li Chengwu was on the bench of the team, and he really saw it.
Even that controversial penalty was brought about by Hulai's brilliant off-ball run - if it wasn't for his ghostly run that suddenly appeared in front of Lu Ming, how could Lu Ming have rushed to push Hulai, thus giving him a chance to fall to the ground?
Of course, now that everyone is teammates, there is no need to mention whether this penalty is a fake fall or not.
After being injured by Hulai's off-ball run, Lee Chengwu is now a beneficiary of Hulai's off-ball run.
What a fate...... It's amazing!

Seeing the U22 players celebrating the equalizer on the field, the assistant coach Li Zhifei off the field sighed to Shi Wuyun: "Xiao Shi, you recruited him because he was like you when you were young, right?" ”
Shi Wuyun nodded: "It does mean a little bit like that......"
When he was young, Shi Wuyun was a famous striker in Chinese football, he was not very physical, he was not fast, and he was not strong, but he was the record holder of China's top league goals - 126 total goals in China's top league, and no one has been able to break it so far.
Shi Wuyun was known for his erratic and flexible running when he was playing, and people commented that he played "quite aura".
"Then do you think he can be the second you?" Li Zhifei asked.
"I don't know......," Shi Wuyan shook his head, "and I don't want him to be the second me, that would be too miserable for him...... I've had five major injuries to my legs, Li. ”
Li Zhifei glared and said, "Who said this!" I mean, will he be the second you in terms of football achievements? You haven't broken your top-flight league goal record yet, and you still have a single-season goal record......"
In addition to the 126 top-flight goal record, Shi Wuyun 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 those foreign strikers, none of them have been able to score more goals than 28 goals in a single season in the Chinese Super League.
Shi Wuyun looked at Hu Lai, who was celebrating the goal with his teammates on the court, and said, "I don't know about this, Lao Li." There is always a strange phenomenon in football, when a young man with a little talent comes out, whether it is the media, the fans, or our own people, they are keen to find a template for him in his previous history, and there are high hopes for him, as if he should grow up according to the template...... But the achievement of the template is too high, young people will be pressured, and the achievement of the template is mediocre, does that mean that the potential of young people is nothing more? I don't know if Hulay will be the second me, but I hope he doesn't become the second me, we are different. ”
Li Zhifei glanced at Shi Wuyun, who has won three top league championships, three top league top scorers, and the top scorer in the history of China's top leagues, and has not been able to participate in the World Cup until he retired.
I said that Hulai would become the second him, it reminded him of Hulai's previous World Cup declaration, right?
If you become the second Shi Wuyun, won't you miss the World Cup?
"That's right." Li Zhifei said with a smile. "You are you, he is him, and the future depends on his own efforts and development."

Guo Junfu is still observing, and this time he focuses on Li Chengwu and Hu Lai.
He found that Li Chengwu's ability to organize the offensive did not exceed his previous observations.
But Hulai's movement is really good.
Once, Hu Lai ran to the empty field, but Li Chengwu didn't pass the football over, and the anxious Guo Junfu slapped his thigh the bench, startling his teammates next to him.
Regarding Hulai's ability to run without the ball, Guo Junfu has already felt it in training.
But the feeling is not very deep, after all, the team's offensive routine training is prescribed by the coach how to run. If you don't follow the coach's instructions, the coach will just stop the training and scold the player who made the mistake.
In the actual game, it is impossible for the head coach to strictly control everyone's every run, which tests the players' ability to play on the spot.
Guo Junfu found that Hu Lai's understanding of offensive routines was far beyond his imagination.
Everyone is trained in the same way, but Hulay is more friendly than the other teams in terms of the route and the choice of slots.
After watching it for a while, Guo Junfu was relieved.
He found that it was not Li Chengwu's outstanding strength, but that Hu Lai's running position was too strong, and he could always run into the void, and at this time, as long as Li Chengwu could pass the football over, he could almost form a threat.
But it's clear that Li Chengwu can't always do this.
So the score is still 1:1 draw.
Guo Junfu, who was sitting on the bench, couldn't help but start thinking: If he was on the court, how would he cooperate with Hu Lai?
For example, his run just now, it seemed that he wanted to go straight to the front point, but he came to a sharp stop and retreated halfway through the run.
Li Chengwu misunderstood what he meant and passed the football to the front point, causing Hu Lai, who was at the back point, to not receive the ball.
The anxious Guo Junfu slapped his thigh off the court.
Why is he in a hurry, because when Guo Junfu saw Hu Lai running forward, he began to think, why did Hu Lai run forward?
Obviously, Wang Hua, another striker of the National Olympic team, was already there, and Hu Lai didn't need to go at all. If he goes again, he will bring the defender who is defending himself over, it will be too crowded......
Unless he's deliberately trying to bring defenders forward so that there's an open space behind him......
Right!
It must be that!
It should be passed back to the point!
Sure enough, while he was thinking so, Hulai made a sharp stop and retreated.
But it's 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 players of the National Olympic team at all.
If I had been there, I would have passed the football to the back post, which was an empty space created by Hulay!
Guo Junfu thought in his heart.
In the previous training, Guo Junfu had only seen Hu Lai's ability to find and run empty positions, and today in the actual combat competition, he also saw Hu Lai's ability to create empty positions.
This kid...... There are a few brushes!
It's no wonder that he was able to score eleven goals in only half a season in the Chinese League......
He definitely didn't just rely on Qin Lin and Zhang Qinghuan to feed him bread.
Although it was only a warm-up match with the Tenglong reserve team, Guo Junfu believed in his own vision and his judgment after observation.
It was enough for him to see a lot of things.

Also seeing a lot of things is the head coach of the U22 training team, Shi Wuyun, who said to Li Zhifei: "No matter what the result of this game is, I have already decided. We will focus on the current tactics in the East Asian Cup. ”
Li Zhifei nodded in agreement: "I was worried about letting Hu Lai advance in the center, with his body, whether he could withstand the pressure of defense." Now it seems that he is not the kind of striker who stands in a position to fight the opposing central defenders, but constantly runs in and out of the box repeatedly, using his ability to run without the ball, involving the opponent's defense and creating chaos in the opponent's defence. ”
"And his power is not as weak as people think. I think as long as he can resist a shock when he catches the ball or shoots, and we don't expect him to defend the ball in the box and wait for his team-mates to come up and pick it up. He's better at dodging defenders and finding space to catch the ball and shoot......" Shi Wuyun said. "Lao Zhao told me that he arranged special strength training for Hu Lai at the club, starting from the second half of last season, and practiced for three months. The pre-season winter training has not relaxed the requirements for him, and his weight has increased a little compared to when he first came to the Shining Stars...... That's all good. ”
The two men were talking in the dugout when they heard a whistle on the pitch, and Hulay had fallen into the box of the Dragons reserves.
The referee of the match is pointing to the penalty spot.
Penalty kick!
The players of the Tenglong reserve team surrounded the referee, while the team-mates of the Under-22 training team ran to hug Hulai.
The one who ran first was Li Chengwu!
He laughed and hugged Hulai: "Well done! ”
Shi Wuyun and Li Zhifei glanced at each other, and the former shook his head with a smile: "And this kid Hu Lai is very good at making reasonable use of his physical 'advantages'......"
He bites the word "advantage" very hard.
