Chapter 162: If you can't keep up, you'll be eliminated

Hulai's hat-trick in the 84th minute basically ended the suspense of the match.

The morale was still high before, and the Nanhai team, which stormed the Shinstar penalty area, was deflated after conceding this goal.

After the game restarted, their offense could no longer play with the momentum they had before.

Luo Kai is still positive, but at this time his positivity is only impatience, frequent mistakes and yelling after conceding the ball.

He was very unwilling, but he could only be impotent and furious.

On the Shanxing side, he used the midfield configuration of Qin Lin and Zhang Qinghuan to firmly control the midfield and control the rhythm of the game.

In the remaining minutes, they played more conservatively and cautiously, trying to keep the ball on their side.

The South China Sea team gradually lost their heart.

Although this will be their first defeat of the season, it stands to reason that they should be very unwilling.

But in the face of few game times and a two-goal difference, what can you do even if you are unwilling?

Luo Kai is very unwilling, but does his unwillingness bring anything?

There is only self-chaos.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the audience burst into deafening cheers.

Hulai and his teammates hugged in celebration of the victory.

The commentator of Anton TV said excitedly: "The game is over! The game is over! After a fierce and exciting game, Shining Star defeated the leader of the Chinese League 4:2 at home, Lingnan Nanhai Team! And it tied the Nanhai team in points! Now both teams are 31 points, and the flashing star surpassed the Nanhai team by virtue of goal difference and ranked first! ”

Shen Lang of Tengfei Video paid more attention to Hu Lai's personal performance: "The best player in this game - Hu Lai! Deserved! Although Chen Xingyi, Luo Kai, and even Wang Guangwei and Zhang Qinghuan all performed well in the game, none of them could compare to Hu Lai's contribution to the victory of the shining stars. Hulai's performance in this game has made him a top player in the Chinese League, I don't think it will improve him much to continue playing in the Chinese League, this should be his last season in the Chinese League, next season he should go to the Chinese Super League! If the shining star can go to the Super League with him, of course it is good, if not, then he should be brave to jump out of his comfort zone......"

The broadcast camera follows Hulai all the time, giving him a close-up.

It didn't cut for 20 seconds, and the broadcasters were reminding all viewers who was the best player and who was the top star of the game.

Although there were other people who made wonderful performances in the game, such as Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai, they all became Hu Lai's foil in the end, the green leaves under this big red flower, and their performance was just to set off how delicate this flower was.

"After a great first season, I'm sure a lot of people are worried about whether Hulay will hit the so-called 'rookie wall' and whether his performance will drop as the opponent takes him seriously...... But now that I have seen his performance after returning from the East Asian Cup, I believe that many people may not think that there is a so-called 'rookie wall' in front of Hu Lai, right? "The Anton TV commentator is one of the happiest people, and the better Hulai's performance in the second season, the more hope there is for the Twinkle to make it this season.

'Last season he scored 11 goals in 15 games. And this season he has only played 11 league games, has scored 13 goals, and just like that...... Maybe he really has a chance to become the top scorer in the Chinese League? ”

Guest Lu Guanlin said next to him: "That's amazing, he will be the first Chinese player to win the Golden Boot of the Chinese League in the past ten seasons!" ”

"It's unbelievable ...... future," the narrator lamented, "and it's only been a year." He moved to our Shining Star in July last year, and he already has a chance to win the league Golden Boot in July......"

"If you think about how he was a sophomore in high school two years ago, you'd think it's even more incredible, ha!" Lu Guanlin said with a smile.

At the post-match press conference, Hulai also became the person that reporters paid the most attention to.

Both Pan Hongwei and Zhao Kangming commented on Hu Lai's performance in this game at the request of reporters.

Zhao Kangming naturally still praises, but as the head coach of Hu Lai, he can't praise any tricks.

It is still the praise of Hu Lai that is more interesting by Pan Hongwei, who is an opponent.

He said: "There were a few moments in the game where I thought we could win and I think so far. As long as there is no goal from Hulay, we will definitely win. If the Twinkle hadn't had Hulai, it would have been a different game and we would have won in the end. But Hulay ...... Yes, I ignored this guy for most of the game, I focused my attention on Chen Xingyi, who I think is the biggest threat to our backline. But it turns out...... I was wrong. Don't assume that just because Hulai hasn't played well in the previous games, he doesn't need to be supervised......"

In the end, Pan Hongwei shook his head again and again.

"I want to congratulate the Twinks, they beat us on their home turf. I would like to congratulate Hulai in particular, he played a good game and I think it was his best game so far this season. Because the opponent is us. ”

Lao Shuai seems to be very unconvinced, but for Hu Lai, he is convinced.

What does Hulay himself think of his performance in this game?

In an interview with the media after the game, he revealed a little "secret" in the locker room: "I asked Coach Zhao at halftime if I had any special tasks, and Coach Zhao said that I would play normally. So I kicked normally. ”

He spread his hands out, so that I don't know how many people wanted to beat him after seeing it......

※※※

"Zhongjia 'Tianwang Mountain', Hu Lai's hat trick is in the limelight!"

When Guan Xinyan saw this news, he was a little panicked.

Because he remembered that after the East Asian Cup, he would have to compete with Hulaibi to score more league goals......

But now, Hulai is the top scorer in the league with thirteen league goals, and what about his Super League goals......

There is only one of them.

Although neither the Chinese League nor the Chinese Super League is far from over, this gap means that Guan Xinyan will have to score in every round of the next Chinese Super League, and at the same time have to ask Hulai not to score again...... But how is that possible?

If he can really put on such a performance...... Not to mention the National Olympics, he can play the main striker in the national team!

He thought about it for a long time, and he didn't understand why he was competing with Hu Lai.

I'm stupid! It's definitely easier to score a goal in the Chinese Super League than in the Chinese Super League!

The only thing he felt fortunate about now was that he hadn't told anyone about it, otherwise he would have become a laughing stock in the eyes of others.

He decided not to care about that Hulai, no matter how many goals he scored in the Central League.

Imagine that nothing had happened before.

Anyway, how many goals he scores in the Central League will not affect my selection for the National Olympic team. The striker of the National Olympic team is not only Hehulai......

"Xiao Shi, did you watch the home game of the Chinese League Flash Star against the South China Sea yesterday?"

Li Zhifei walked into Shi Wuyun's office and asked.

"How could you not have seen it, Lao Li? I was so excited that I almost wanted to return to the game! Shi Wuyun said with a smile.

"The commentator is right, if you want to know what the future of Chinese football looks like, you should watch this game. Let's not talk about Hulai, except for him......"

Shi Wuyun interrupted Li Zhifei's words: "Eh, why didn't Hu Lai say it? He's the best in the game, a hat-trick! ”

"Because I think it's just normal for him. And Hulai is not the focus of our observation. We should focus on Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai, two young people, with their performance in their respective teams this season, next year's U23 Asian Cup will definitely have their share. When the time comes, it will be our home field, and if we can't get results, we can't say it! Li Zhifei said.

Shi Wuyun nodded: "You're right, Lao Li." When Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai were training before the East Asian Cup at the beginning of the year, they didn't recruit them, because they felt that they lacked competition training and couldn't prove their ability. Now it seems that one is in the shining star and the other is in the South China Sea, and they are both playing well. There are a few warm-up games for the national Olympic team in the second half of the year, and I plan to recruit them both to investigate......"

"But there are two problems." Li Zhifei said, "First question, how do you plan to deal with the fact that Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai have similar ball styles and overlapping positions?" ”

"This game gave me a little bit of inspiration, Lao Li. Why can't we switch to a three-striker formation? Hu Lai is in the center, Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai are one left and one right, Hu Lai does not need the ball, so there is no possibility of conflict with the other two people. Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai were separated on both sides of the court by Hu Lai, and they were each responsible for half of the court. It is also possible to cross and rotate, and both sides can be played. In this way, our two wings really fly on both wings......"

Shi Wuyun casually ripped a piece of paper on the table, and drew on the back as he spoke.

"So who's the offensive core?" Li Zhifei asked.

"Hulai, of course. No matter how the two of them kick, they also play around Hulai, who is in the middle. Shi Wuyun continued to paint, "We don't need Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai to be the core, they can't do it." They just need to play normally, whether they choose to shoot themselves or pass to the other two striker team-mates at the end, it all depends on what the three of them actually need on the field. Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai's ability to have the ball and Hu Lai's ability to do without the ball, now, our team will not have the problem of walking with a limp. ”

Before the National Olympic team, Guan Xinyan scored a point, and Guan Xinyan was a left-footed player who liked to cut inside on the right side, so the attack of the National Olympic team was considered by the media to be walking with a limp.

Li Zhifei looked at the schematic diagram of the running and passing routes drawn by Shi Wuyun on the paper, and nodded after pondering for two seconds: "I think it is feasible." Guo Junfu splits the ball in the middle, and he has three points at once, no matter which side we play, he can create a threat. Moreover, Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai can switch positions with each other, making it more difficult for opponents to defend. Even if the opponent strictly restricts them to the penalty area, they can pull a cross and let Hulai in the middle grab the point...... Not bad! ”

Hearing his partner's approval of his idea, Shi Wuyun laughed: "Then what is the other question, Lao Li?" ”

Li Zhifei was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand with a strange face: "Well, it's not a problem now." ”

"Huh?" Shi Wuyun became curious, "What is the problem?" ”

"That's it...... I was going to ask you before, you recruited Luo Kai and Chen Xingyi into the team, what about Guan Xinyan? But after I thought about your tactics carefully, I think there is really no place for Guan Xinyan in the lineup......"

Shi Wuyun also reacted - he forgot about the number one striker of the national youth team and the national Olympic team.

But how can he admit that he forgot about Guan Xinyan? So he waved his hand: "It's not a conflict, Lao Li." It's impossible for us to fix these three people in this lineup, in case someone gets injured or is not in good shape, no matter how bad the game is, we have to replace them to rest. So Guan Xinyan still has to recruit, and after he comes in, let him adapt to this new set of tactics as well, and be a supplement to Luo Kai and Chen Xingyi......"

Li Zhifei sneered: "Xiao Shi, this is wishful thinking." ”

"How?"

"Do you think Guan Xinyan, who has always been the core of the national youth team, national youth and national Olympic teams at all levels, can accept the new positioning? Not to mention that his current tactics are not his best and favorite style of play. ”

Shi Wuyun thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "If you don't accept it, you have to accept it, the team is not his family, can you still follow his preferences?" I said before that the East Asian Cup would not recruit him, and let him prepare well for the new season in the club. He agreed at the time. As a result, do you see how he is doing in the club now? Compared to last season, it is far from ...... I now think he may have believed the rumours from the East Asian Cup. ”

Li Zhifei didn't speak, but nodded as well.

He agrees with Shi Wuyun's opinion in his heart, and even more extreme - he thinks that the national Olympic team is of course to gather the best young people in the country, and the previous resume in the national team at all levels is meaningless in the national Olympic team, if you don't perform well, can't keep up with the team's requirements, and refuse to take the initiative to change, then I'm sorry, the national Olympic team has no place for you.

After all, next year's U23 Asian Cup is a huge pressure for Shi Wuyun and him Li Zhifei.

Since 2015, Chinese football set off a vigorous reform, so far eight years have passed, the national middle school football competition has also been held for nine sessions, the emergence of Hu Lai, Luo Kai, Chen Xingyi, Wang Guangwei such outstanding young players, they are a good supplement to the original professional echelon of talents.

Now that there are talents, whether it is ordinary fans, media reporters, or the leaders above, of course, they all want to see some results.

Not to mention the goal of winning the international competition, which is too far away, how about making it to the World Series?

We made it to the World Junior Championships, but we didn't have the World Junior Championships, so the Olympics that attracted the most attention cannot be missed.

This time, Shi Wuyun led the U22 training team to win the East Asian Cup, which on the one hand allowed him to continue to win the trust of the leaders, and on the other hand, it also raised everyone's expectations for this team, and the pressure was even greater.

If he can't participate in the Madrid Olympics next year, then he and Shi Wuyun will have to leave class.

The future fate of this group of young people is difficult to say......

After all, they need to show themselves on the stage of international competitions, and they need to gain confidence, gain experience, and provide more opportunities for future growth by participating in the Olympic Games.

In the face of such a goal, the little emotions and careful thoughts of the individual are meaningless. Li Zhifei hopes that Guan Xinyan can correct his mentality and not think that the National Olympic team will step on the brakes for him alone.

Everyone is running, and those who can't keep up can only be dropped farther and farther away, completely eliminated.

has been Guan Xinyan's coach for two years, and he still doesn't want that fate to really befall this young man......

But he didn't say anything about it.
