"You two said you were going to apply for the midweek FA Cup?" Zhao Kangming looked at Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei standing side by side in the office, and his mind was full of question marks. "Why?"

So Hu Lai repeated the reasons he had explained to Wang Guangwei yesterday.

"So you just don't think you can take the salary from the club and want to play in the FA Cup?" After listening, Zhao Kangming asked rhetorically.

Hulai nodded.

Zhao Kangming looked at Wang Guangwei again: "Is this the same reason for you?" ”

"Although I don't have as much salary as Hulai, I am also willing to contribute to the team, after all, I have been here for a longer time than Hulai, and I can be regarded as his senior, I have to look like an elder and set an example for my juniors!" Wang Guangwei stood straight and spoke categorically.

Zhao Kangming smiled.

He really didn't expect to hear such a reason for playing from the mouths of two young people.

As a manager, this is not the first time that players have approached him and wanted to get them to play.

The reasons given by these people are varied, but some are straightforward, because the contract stipulates the number of appearances, and a few more games will be enough to meet the target, which can be an extra bonus, or will automatically receive a certain level of salary and contract length in the next renewal negotiations.

There are also people who feel that they are doing well in training and that they are in good shape, and they want to prove themselves in competitions.

But like the two young people in front of me, they came to him, saying that it was because the club gave him a lot of money, and he panicked at the thought of just taking the money and not working, so he wanted to play...... It's the first time he's encountered it.

Who is afraid of having a lot of money?

Some players would even rather get a high salary and not play a single game......

Isn't it beautiful to sleep on the bench when you are selected for the squad, and go to a clubbing bar or play golf or something if you are not selected for the squad?

He looked at the sincere gaze projected in the eyes of the two young people, and sighed in his heart - it is good to be young, there is still a self-motivation in his career, and the impulse to pursue his ideals, and he has not been tainted by those messy worldliness.

Although he was moved by the two young people in his heart, Zhao Kangming still shook his head and rejected them: "No." We have a league game on Saturday and it's away, so I don't want the two of you to waste energy in the inconsequential FA Cup. ”

Wang Guangwei was not surprised by this result at all, because this is a reason that any normal person can think of, and it was based on this reason that he felt that Hulai would not be able to play in the FA Cup at all.

So he glanced over to Hulai to see what he could do about it.

"But Director Zhao, I have no problem with my physical fitness." Hulai said, "I don't believe you asked the team doctor to do a comprehensive physical examination for me. Coach Zhao, it's not that you don't know, I recover quickly every time I finish a game. The two games and three games a week basically didn't affect me. Of course, I don't know if there is a problem with Wang Guangwei......"

Wang Guangwei hurriedly said: "I'm okay, Director Zhao!" As you know, my fitness has always been my strength! It's a drizzle for me......

Hulai added: "And Director Zhao, I know that I have to rotate when I play two games a week, but as the main striker of the team, is it normal to play one game a week?" Do I have to be rotated in midweek? Now it's the Chinese League, let's go to the Chinese Super League in the future, and there is the AFC Champions League in midweek, can't I play in the AFC Champions League? ”

Zhao Kangming laughed: "AFC Champions League? You're thinking a little far, Hulai. ”

"Oh, people must always have ideals, what if we really hit the AFC Champions League?"

Zhao Kangming wants to say that he wants to participate in the AFC Champions League, which means that the shining star has to win the top two in the Chinese Super League, or win the FA Cup, and at worst the third in the Chinese Super League, so that he can still participate in the AFC Champions League qualification. And where is this kind of result that a team of the level of Shining Star can get casually?

But his mouth was open, but his words were not spoken, and he felt that there was no point in saying anything about "conventional common sense" in front of the demon Hulai.

And putting aside the question of whether the shining star can participate in the AFC Champions League, what Hu Lai said is also quite reasonable.

Obviously the main player of the team, but if you don't even have the physical fitness to play two games a week, then what kind of main player is you? Just be a rotation player.

Whether it is Hu Lai or Wang Guangwei, in Zhao Kangming's plan, they are the pillars of this team and the main core.

Since it is the main force, what is it like to rotate the lineup as soon as it encounters a situation of two games a week?

Looking at the two young people standing in front of him, thinking about the words they had said since they came in, Zhao Kangming felt infinite emotion in his heart.

He also thought about giving the young people as much protection as possible, helping them on their horses and sending them on one more ride...... Now it seems that some young people have grown up so quickly that they have completely exceeded his expectations, and perhaps they can be let go to fight in the sky without his careful care.

Thinking of this, he smiled and nodded: "Okay, as long as you can pass the physical test and prove that your physical fitness is really fine, I will let you start in the FA Cup." ”

Wang Guangwei looked at Hu Lai with incredible eyes: This kid really persuaded Director Zhao! What kind of material is his mouth made of?!

Wrong...... Is Director Zhao too partial to Hu Lai? He agreed to all the requests, just like an old father who dotes on his children without a bottom line!

※※※

The subsequent physical fitness test proved that Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei were not lying, and their physical conditions fully met the requirements of the competition.

And considering that the opponent of the flashing star in this round of the FA Cup is the Chinese B team Hejiang Xiaoyao, the strength is not strong, so even if the same playing time, the physical energy consumed may not be the same. If they are ahead by a big margin in the game, they can be replaced early, and in fact, the impact on the weekend's league is not as big as people think.

In this way, when Zhao Kangming announced the FA Cup squad for the midweek home game against Hejiang Xiaoyao in the team, Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei were impressively listed.

This was a bit of a surprise to the rest of the team.

After all, most of the players who played in the last league game were rotated and rested, and Hu Lai, Wang Guangwei and goalkeeper Yu Zhiming were the only players in this squad who started in the last league game.

None of the people, including Qin Lin and Zhang Qinghuan, were selected for the squad, and they could stay at home on the day of the game to rest and recharge their batteries for Saturday's away game.

In fact, it was not only the players of the flash star who were surprised, when the squad was revealed, many fans and media reporters of the flash star were also puzzled.

In this FA Cup match with Hejiang, there is really no reason to let main players like Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei play...... Although it is not yet known whether Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei will start, it is also possible that they will sit on the bench, just in case.

But why does this kind of work have to be done by players of the caliber of Hulai and Wang Guangwei?

Can't you find anyone else on the Twinkle team?

And when the two teams announced the starting lists before the start of the game, everyone was even more puzzled - Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei actually started the game!

Playing a second division team, you are the team's main scorer and main central defender...... Isn't it a bit of a "knife to kill chickens"?

After the game started, as the game progressed, many people felt that the shining star was a little ...... Waste.

Just eleven minutes into the game, Hulai opened the scoring for the Twinkle.

And the one who provided him with the assist was ...... Chen Xingyi!

"Aha! Pretty! After the goal, Hu Lai happily ran to Chen Xingyi to high-five and celebrate.

"Actually, I finally decided to start Hulai, and I had this idea in mind. Thinking that Hejiang Xiaoyao's strength is not strong, it can be used to verify whether there is really some kind of tacit understanding between the two of them that we don't understand. On the coach's bench, head coach Zhao Kangming explained to assistant coach Chen Mo.

"Now it seems that the two of them are indeed very calling." Chen Mo smiled and helped Zhao Kangming make up the answer.

"That's right, haha!" Zhao Kangming smiled happily.

At the beginning, when Chen Xingyi was unable to integrate into the team, he was also anxious for Chen Xingyi, but he didn't show it. In fact, he has always been thinking about how to speed up the process of Chen Xingyi's integration into the team.

I didn't expect the final solution to be so simple - just put him and Hulai on the field at the same time.

It seems to be to prove the effectiveness of Zhao Kangming's method.

In the following game, Hulay scored two more goals and completed a hat-trick.

Two of these three balls were passed to him by Chen Xingyi.

Chen Xingyi also scored a goal himself, although it was not passed to him by Hu Lai, but he took advantage of the gap left by Hu Lai to pull away the defender for him.

After the goal, Chen Xingyi was very excited.

Although it is only the FA Cup, the opponent is still a weak Central B team, but this is Chen Xingyi's first goal in professional football after all.

The significance is extraordinary.

In the end, Anton Shining Star won 5-0 at home, and Hule only played half of the game before being substituted at half-time.

Chen Xingyi was also replaced early when he played in the 70th minute.

That seems to mean he will also have a chance to feature in Saturday's league game against Red Lotus Youjiang.

Otherwise, Zhao Kangming could have let Chen Xingyi play for 90 minutes. Chen Xingyi performed well in this game and was replaced in advance, which can only show that Zhao Kangming hopes to let Chen Xingyi continue to play in the league next weekend.

Chen Hantang, who saw this scene in the stands, smiled very happily.

He made the right bet with his son!
