In fact, Hu Lai didn't think about shooting when he cut in diagonally, he just felt that it was a gap behind him, so he should cut it in decisively. It's all instinct, or talent.

Of course, because he is the most threatening shooter of Anton Shiningxing, his sudden diagonal insertion in the penalty area was also keenly captured by Youjiang Honglian's defenders.

So someone quickly posted it at that time to prevent him from receiving the ball.

Under such circumstances, Hu Lai felt that Chen Xingyi did not need to pass the football to himself, thinking that he could not do anything if he passed it to himself.

In a ninety-minute race, Hulai didn't know how many times he had to do it, he didn't count, but he didn't count it, so his energy was almost exhausted before the end of the race.

His style of football really requires a lot of fitness. Fortunately, he has [Stamina Elixir], otherwise he can really only be a super sub, and no matter how fast he has a dagger, he can only stab it once.

Hu Lai has already considered that after the strength training is over for the time being, let the physical fitness coach Sun Yi arrange physical training for himself to greatly improve his physical fitness. He didn't want to rely on [Stamina Elixir] every time to provide endurance.

Coming back to this run, Hulai ran only because he was a striker who was always looking for a vacancy, and if he didn't run, he had no chance at all. Everybody says he's a very efficient striker, and that's just by his shot-goal conversion ratio.

But if you look at the number of times he runs for an opportunity, he probably has to average a dozen runs like this to get a shot on goal.

Specifically, in this run, after he inserted the running position diagonally, it was impossible for him to have a chance to shoot at all, so Chen Xingyi didn't need to pass the ball to him.

But Chen Xingyi still passed it on.

As the ball rolled towards him, Hulay was already thinking about what he was going to do next.

A direct shot is definitely not a good idea, even if it is not blocked by the opponent, the ball cannot hit the frame of the goal, such a shot is meaningless.

Stop the ball and then control it in the box and wait for a teammate to come up and pick you up?

Not to mention whether he can "dance on stamps" (Note 1) with his feet, he can toss and turn with a football in every square inch to avoid the siege of defenders. It's hard to say whether his body can withstand the impact of the opposing defender.

So you can't shoot or stop the ball, so what else can you do?

All that's left is passing.

Pass it to whom? Where is it going?

Hu Lai realized that his diagonal run attracted the defensive attention of Youjiang Honglian to the direction of his diagonal insertion, so he was behind him...... Shouldn't there be a vacancy?

Hulay had no way to look back, but he analyzed it based on experience and felt that it was a great possibility.

Since there is time behind him, then pass the football himself, as for whether anyone can receive it, it is not his business.

Anyway, he's not Zhang Qinghuan, isn't it normal that the pass is not good?

Thinking of this, he adjusted his pace, slowed down, raised his arms against the opposing central defender, and slammed the football behind him with the heel of his right foot!

After passing the ball, he looked back and saw Chen Xingyi shoot with his feet!

Then the football flew into the goal of Youjiang Honglian.

In the face of Youjiang Honglian's fierce defense, it should have been a very difficult thing for Anton Shanxing to score a goal, and it should have taken a lot of effort, and it still needs a little luck to help it be possible to knock on Youjiang Honglian's locked goal.

But now the goal looks like that...... Natural and fluid.

It is as if there is a low land on the earth, and the snow on the mountain turns into water, rushes into this low land, rushes forward, turns to the side when it encounters an obstacle, and bypasses it when it encounters a towering peak, and flows forward according to the situation, and finally forms a river that rushes to the sea.

This attack of the shining star is like a river, and it will come naturally.

"Chen Xingyi has scored! And it was ...... who assisted him It's Hulai! The Anton TV commentator shouted in surprise. This is simply too rare! Hulay gave an assist! ”

No wonder the commentator was so surprised and excited, because it is indeed too rare for an assist to happen to Hulai......

Last season, Hulai only played half a season in the Chinese League with the Shining Stars, contributing eleven goals and becoming the top scorer in the Shining Stars team.

But at the same time, he only had one assist.

And this assist is also because he earned a penalty for the team against the Black North Pole Star - according to the rules of the Chinese League, winning a penalty is also an assist.

So there is an assist in the statistical statistics of Hulai's countermeasures.

It's just that this number "1", next to the "11" that represents the number of goals, looks a little dazzling.

It was supposed to be the only assist for Hulay's career so far.

But now, that number is "2".

In addition to scoring goals, Hulai is not a striker with other tactical roles, as many professionals know.

Expect him to pull outside the box, link up the whole team's attack, pass the ball to a team-mate in a better position, and help his team-mate shoot and score...... That's impossible.

Most of the time he's in the best position and how can he pass the football to a player who is better than him?

In addition, if there is a chance to score a goal, he must have come by himself, how can he pass the football to others? That is seriously inconsistent with the identity of a "shooter".

But just now, in full view, he passed the football to his teammate Chen Xingyi, and it was a very beautiful heel pass......

※※※

Chen Xingyi, who scored the goal, recovered from the excitement of the moment, turned around and pounced on Hu Lai, who passed the ball to him.

"I didn't expect you to pass the ball to me!" He was both excited and confused.

Hulai patted him on the shoulder: "I said that we have a soul!" Ha ha! ”

He can't tell Chen Xingyi that this is the effect of the [Spirit Rhino Card] - since there is a tacit understanding, then it makes no sense that Chen Xingyi can only have a tacit understanding with Hu Lai, and Hu Lai has no tacit understanding with Chen Xingyi, right?

So Chen Xingyi can give him an assist, and he can also give Chen Xingyi an assist in turn.

"Thank you!" Chen Xingyi hugged Hu Lai hard and thanked him sincerely.

It was a goal that was really important for him, much more important than that in the FA Cup and more important than the assist he had given to Hulay.

It's a league goal!

"Let's say thank you for being so rusty, I'll assist you one, can you just pay me back?" Hulai laughed haha.

"That's right!" Chen Xingyi nodded, feeling that Hu Lai made sense.

It's so polite that the two of them say thank you, and the favor on the football field will be repaid with football!

Teammates rushed up to celebrate, Zhang Qinghuan patted Hu Lai's shoulder and said in surprise: "Hu Lai, did you steal from me?" Is that heel pass something you can make? ”

"Damn, when I usually keep a low profile, do you think I really can't pass the ball!"

"Then when we train, let's compare the fixed-point pass, how about the treat that loses?" Zhang Qinghuan said.

"Boring!" Hulai didn't answer. "My strength is not the capital to let my teammates treat!"

"Haha!" Everyone laughed.

Qin Lin saw that the young people were getting along well, everyone was so united, and a bright smile bloomed on his face.

He signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the club, and by the time his contract expired, he would be over 40 years old.

As a professional footballer, it's a big age.

If it hadn't been for that injury last season, he would have wanted to keep playing.

But after the injury, he occasionally felt overwhelmed, and now he sees the youngsters playing better and better, and can already make a difference in multiple positions.

This forced him to reconsider his plans.

Maybe...... After his contract expires, he should retire.

retired with the regret of never playing in the World Cup, just like his predecessors, Zhao Kangming, Shi Wuyun, Wang Xiaojun...... There are many, many more names like this.

They have exhausted their entire careers and have not been able to step into the World Cup finals.

Looking at Hu Lai, who was surrounded by his teammates in the middle and made people laugh, Qin Lin remembered what this young man said in an interview with the National Olympic training team.

It's a big breath.

But...... Perhaps, it is their generation of young people who can hope to realize the dream of all Chinese footballers - to reach the World Cup?

If you get the World Cup, just listen to it.

It's not impossible to get into the World Cup.

Because they are young, and being young means limitless possibilities.

Before the end of the first half, Zhang Qinghuan pulled to the side to cross, and the football hit the open arm of the right Jiang Honglian defender in the penalty area.

The referee blew the whistle decisively, and in the face of the boos of the home fans, blew a penalty to the shining star.

According to the order of penalty kicks determined by Zhao Kangming, the penalties obtained in regular game time, if Qin Lin is on the court, will be handed over to Qin Lin to take the penalty.

Everyone in the team has no problem with this arrangement.

After all, the veteran was the team's number one penalty taker both in the national team and the South China Tigers, with rich experience in penalty kicks, and a big heart, and rarely missed penalties in his career.

Hulai also followed his teammates out of the penalty area as usual.

Of course, he didn't plan to retreat very far, he was standing outside the line of the big forbidden area.

He decided to wait for Qin Lin to kick the football out, and then rushed to the goal as soon as possible, ready to make up for the shot.

It's not because I can't trust the big guy Lingo.

It's purely a shooter's instinct – not to miss a chance to score.

Rush forward every time, be ready to shoot, maybe the previous ninety-nine times were useless, but what if the hundredth chance arises?

Just as he was always running around in front of the door looking for a vacancy, the previous nine runs may have been in vain, useless except for wasting physical strength. But the tenth run to the open space and the ball was passed, then he could score with a straight shot.

There are no more and no less opportunities in every race, but if you don't run, you will never have them.

But this time, just after Hu Lai stood a little outside the line of the big penalty area, he saw Qin Lin, who was already standing at the penalty spot, turn around and wave at him: "Hu Lai." ”

Hu Lai was surprised: "What's the matter, Brother Lin?" ”

"Here you go."

After Hu Lai ran up suspiciously, Qin Lin stuffed the football in his hand into his arms: "You will kick this penalty." ”

"Me?" Hulay was surprised, "I didn't ......"

"It's not just this penalty, it's all the penalties in the team that will be handed over to you in the future."

Hu Lai looked at Qin Lin with wide eyes.

And Qin Lin obviously didn't intend to explain to Hu Lai why he did this, and after stuffing the football into Hu Lai's arms, he turned around and walked out of the penalty area.

"Huh? There was a little bit of a situation on the field...... Qin Lin actually gave up this penalty opportunity to Hu Lai! ”

Not only was the commentator surprised, but the head coaches off the field, Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo, also glanced at each other and saw the surprise and doubt in each other's eyes.

Then Chen Mo shook his head, saying that he didn't know why.

On the field, Hu Lai did not continue to dwell on why Brother Lin would give up the penalty to himself, and after seeing Qin Lin standing still outside the penalty area, he turned around and bent down to put the football on the penalty spot.

I don't know why, but why don't you eat the meat that is fed to your mouth?

I kicked the ball in first, and then asked Brother Ringo at halftime to find out the reason.

After setting up the football, he got up and stepped away, ready to run.

Players from both sides withdrew from the penalty area, and the goalkeeper of Youjiang Honglian opened his arms in front of the goal, lowered his center of gravity, and waited for the battle.

The referee blows the whistle.

Hulai started to run, and after two steps he stepped on the side of the football with his left foot and fired his right foot at goal!

The soccer ball jumped against the turf to the bottom right corner.

And the goalkeeper of Youjiang Honglian pounced on the opposite side - he judged the wrong direction!

"The ball is in! Anton Shining Star, who is playing away, leads Youjiang Red Lotus 2:0! Hulai has scored in two consecutive league games since he returned from the East Asian Cup! He brought his fiery form in the East Asian Cup to the club! ”
