Chapter 10 We need to score

In this way, Hu Lai moved out of the hotel, shared a house with Wang Guangwei, went to training together every day, and came back together after training.

Because Hu Lai didn't know how to cook, they also discussed that cooking was Wang Guangwei's business, and washing dishes and cleaning up was Hu Lai's business.

Life is calm and regular.

Two days later, Hu Lai went back to the rental house alone, and Wang Guangwei followed the team to the away game.

This weekend, Anton Twinkling Star away to the Eagles Club in Tongqi Province, the game was kicked off at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, so the Sparkling Star players who were selected for the game squad all had lunch at the training base after training this morning, and then took a bus to the airport to take a flight.

Wang Guangwei was selected for the competition squad, so naturally he would not go home with Hu Lai.

So that night, Hulai ate takeout. He ordered three servings of beef and vegetable salad through the takeaway app, with different salad dressings, and ate them all, not even a single corn kernel left.

The next day there was no training for the team, so he went to the nearby college campus and supermarket in the morning to get acquainted with his surroundings.

I had a simple lunch outside, returned to the rental house, turned on the TV at half past three in the afternoon, and watched the game of Shining Star through the sports channel of Anton TV.

The TV broadcast rights of the Chinese Super League are not the same as those of the Chinese Super League, which sells the broadcast rights to CCTV Sports Channel, which broadcasts live to the whole country, but at the same time, they will also sell the broadcast rights of each team's games to local satellite TV, allowing them to broadcast only within the local signal coverage without being on the stars.

The broadcast rights of the Chinese League are not broadcast by a national broadcasting agency, and they are all subcontracted to various local TV stations, and they can only broadcast their own teams' games, and other teams' games cannot be broadcast.

This is naturally because the players in the Chinese League are not as famous and ornamental as the Chinese Super League, and no institution is willing to spend a lot of money to buy the broadcast rights of all teams, so they are simply spun off, and each local station supports its own team, and only buys the broadcast rights of its own team, which can also save a lot of money.

It is also for this reason that Hulai has not seen a complete Shining Star match before coming to the Shining Star. Because he can't watch Anton TV's sports channel in Lingnan City at all - only Anton Satellite TV can send the broadcast signal to the satellite, and the following sub-channels do not have this qualification, and the sports channels of local satellite TV can only be seen in the location.

In addition, the shining star is not a strong team in the Chinese League, there were no big-name stars before Qin Lin came, the popularity was not strong, and there were no videos of the whole game uploaded by enthusiastic fans on the Internet, only some scattered game highlights.

Today, Hulai saw the live broadcast of the game as a great opportunity to get to know the team himself.

He has only been here for half a week, and he has just matched the names and faces of everyone in the team, no matter how much he learned about the flash star through online news before, it is not as good as watching a complete game.

This year's Chinese League A has played 17 rounds, and the Shining Star currently has 24 points and is in 14th place, six points away from Yunshan Caiyun, who is third from the bottom and 16th. Looking at the points of six points seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is only a difference between two games.

And in terms of rankings, there is only one team between the fourteenth and sixteenth places, which is really unstable.

Hu Lai knows that Coach Zhao has adjusted the focus of his work from promotion at the beginning of the season to relegation, and there is still half a season left, and the team will fight for relegation.

In the final match with the Flag Eagles, the flash star played 0:0 away and did not lose. Considering that the Flag Eagles are second in the league this season, this result is already good.

You know, they lost 0:1 to Hexi Daqin at their home stadium in the last round.

His roommate Wang Guangwei started the game and played the full 90 minutes, performing well and was one of the contributors to the team's ability to draw second in the league on the road.

In fact, this is not the first time that Wang Guangwei has played the whole game in the game this season, and after Zhao Kangming came, he vigorously promoted young players and gave them more opportunities. Of course, there are risks associated with this, after all, there are young players who don't perform so well in the face of first-team pressure, and there is a possibility that they will be fueled. But in Wang Guangwei, there is no such problem.

At the same time, Qin Lin came off the bench in the 64th minute of this game and had two key passes, but the striker of the shining star, whether it was Lai Zekai or foreign aid McAuley Murphy, failed to score.

While Hulay was happy that his roommate was able to gradually establish himself in the team, he also discovered the team's current problem - lack of offense.

This season, the Twinkling Star has played eighteen rounds in the league, scoring sixteen goals and conceding eighteen. Not arguably the team that conceded the fewest goals in the league, it was also one of the better teams, with only two teams conceding fewer goals than them, the second-placed Flag Eagles and Atletico Capital.

As a team at the bottom of the table, it's nice to have that kind of defensive performance.

This may have something to do with the fact that Zhao Kangming was an excellent centre-back before retiring, and he was better at tweaking the team's defence.

Compared to the excellent defense, the Shining's offense is too stumbling.

Only 16 goals have been scored in 18 league games, and even an average of one goal per game has been achieved.

What is this level? Of the eighteen teams in the Chinese League, only Jiang Ansheng's Wuzhou Dongshan scored fewer goals than them - fourteen goals. And this team is currently in the bottom two of the league.

Not counting Hulai, who didn't play a game, the Twinkles now have five strikers, but only scored sixteen goals, which is really embarrassing to say.

His transfer to the flash star was finalized in April this year, when the Chinese League had just started, and Director Zhao should not have imagined that the team's forward performance would be so bad......

But after watching the team's performance, a very bold idea popped into Hulai's mind - if these strikers can play, why can't I? In terms of their performance, I don't think I'm necessarily going to be worse than them when I play.

The worst and worst is that you can't score goals...... What's the difference between that and how the other strikers are doing now?

With the seniors to give him a cover, Hulai is not afraid of anything.

As much as Hulay would love to play, what to do?

ran to Director Zhao directly and said, "Director Zhao, I'll play up, do you want to arrange it?" ”

It is estimated that he will be directly blasted out of the office by Zhao Kangming.

No matter how good the relationship between him and Director Zhao is, it can't be any better.

If Coach Zhao wants to consider letting him play, he can only perform well in training.

After all, the pitch is a place where strength speaks.

※※※

The away team was able to draw second place in the league, and for the flashstar players, this game was considered to have achieved the set goal, so on the way home, everyone was generally in a good mood.

Head coach Zhao Kangming is not in this mood, and he is studying the next round opponent with assistant coach Chen Mo - Kunyang City team in Kunyang City, Jiang'an Province.

This game will be important for the Shining Stars to survive relegation this season, as they can be considered direct competitors.

After playing this round of the league, the shining star ranked 14th with 25 points. Kunyang City ranked 13th with 26 points.

If the shining star can defeat Kunyang City, which is almost the same strength as himself, away from home, it will be regarded as temporarily finding a backing in the relegation battle.

'Our biggest problem is the lack of attacking strength up front. Assistant coach Chen Mo said. "There was no goal in this game, and it can be said that it is the reason for our tactical arrangement, after all, if you play second in the league away, you must retreat to ensure that you don't concede goals. But in the next round of games, playing Kunyang City away, we can't fight for a draw, right? ”

Zhao Kangming nodded: "Yes, we are going to win the next game, and a draw is no different from losing......"

'It's not really a matter of scoring a lot of goals, with the level of our defence, even if it's just a goal. It's a pity ......"

'It's a pity that our strikers can't even score a goal.' Zhao Kangming frowned.

"Qin Lin is doing well, why don't you just push him to the front line in the next game?" Chen Mo suggested, "He has played as a striker before......"

Zhao Kangming was amused by his assistant's words: "How many years ago was that?" He did play as a striker when he first debuted, but he quickly became a central defender...... If he really plays well as a striker, can he still play at centre-back? ”

Qin Lin has been playing as a striker in the youth team of Andong Xingcheng at the beginning, and he later went to a professional team to play as a striker, but in less than a season, he was put into the position of central defender by the head coach at the time, and he shined in this position, and was finally selected for the national team in this position.

Later, Qin Lin played as a fullback and also played as a front midfielder, and with the increase of age and the accumulation of experience, he was fixed in the position of the back midfield.

Now Chen Mo wants to let such a midfielder play as a cameo striker, which shows that he is also desperate for the performance of his team's forwards......

In this half season, different combinations of strikers, they have tried, but the effect is not great. Double striker, triple striker, single striker have all been tried, and the effect is better than nothing.

Just when Chen Mo didn't know what to say, he heard Zhao Kangming say, "Otherwise, let Hu Lai try it." ”

"Hulai? He's just been on the team......"

"So another week to see how he trains and integrates into the team. At least in training, there was still some chemistry between him and Qin Lin. ”

"But now, what if he plays under too much pressure and can't score?"

"That's it, no matter how bad it is, it's not much worse. And I have faith in Hulai. Our problem now is not that the midfield can't create chances, you see Qin Lin has two beautiful passes in this game...... It's our strikers who can't take their chances. And Hulai, you know, that kid is the best at seizing opportunities. Although Hulai is relatively singular and will score, we only need to score goals now. ”

Chen Mo was persuaded by Zhao Kangming, because he was Hu Lai's head coach in the Poseidon youth team, trained Hu Lai directly, and the person who took him to play was him, not Zhao Kangming, so he also had a very deep understanding of Hu Lai's characteristics and abilities.

Judging by the standards of a professional player, this kid has many shortcomings, such as at a glance, it can be seen that he is not strong and his body is too thin; There is also average speed, poor dribbling, and it can be said that there is basically no breakthrough ability at all; The pass is decent, not so bad that the pass is five metres apart, but you can't let the pass point where to hit it, don't expect him to pull to the side and then send the ball to the goal with a precise cross.

So when Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo left, Hu Lai quickly lost his position in the Poseidon youth team, and it was obvious that other professionals, including Sun He, were not very optimistic that such a partial student could become a qualified professional player.

But in the eyes of Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo, two experienced youth coaches, Hu Lai has a very outstanding advantage, which is better than any of his peers.

That's his ability to take chances.

The ability to take chances is a composite ability, and it doesn't just refer to shooting.

Just like coordination isn't just about physical agility.

The ability to grasp opportunities includes two parts: finding opportunities and completing shots, the first part of which Hu Lai has a very outstanding talent, which Zhao Kangming saw in the national competition, in one sentence that this kid knows the direction of the goal.

The second part was mastered by Hulay through hard training.

How hard Hulai worked in training, as his head coach, Chen Mo naturally knew very well. The youth team lives in the dormitory in the training base, and the downstairs is the youth team training ground, which is very convenient for training. Therefore, it is often seen that Hulai is still alone on the field to practice shooting after the whole team training.

After paying double or even three times the training time compared to others, his shooting ability naturally became the No1 in the Poseidon youth team, and he was the best performer in the team every time he shot in training.

That's right, Hulay can only shoot, only good at scoring goals.

But just like Lao Zhao said, we only need to score goals now!
