"...I promised at the beginning of the season that this was the last year to reach the Super League and that we would definitely succeed in reaching the Super League. What happened? Now I no longer think about whether we can be promoted. I only care about whether we can stay in the Chinese League One. Why?
Will it become like this? Some people will put the blame on head coach Zhao Kangming, but I won’t do that. To be honest, Zhao Kangming has brought some positive changes to the team after he came, such as football
The team's defense is obviously better than last season. This is what everyone sees, and it belongs to Zhao Kangming. If the defense is not good, it is estimated that we are already in the relegation zone, instead of still struggling outside the relegation zone.
.However, when it comes to training offense, Zhao Kangming's level is not that good.
"The current problem of the team is that the offense is weak and so many forwards cannot score goals. This is really weird to say. Lai Zekai, who scored 16 goals last season, only scored two goals this season.
The gap is too big... Those fans of Lai Zekai say that Lai Zekai is more suitable for playing as a lone forward, but it is not that the team has never played a lone forward tactic this season. Has their brother Lai performed well?
"Murphy's skills are pretty good with his feet, but his shooting skills are a bit poor. His dribbling and breakthrough skills are OK, but his final kick lacks some firepower. Even so, he is currently the top scorer in the team, scoring five goals...
...The author laughed when I wrote this. With five goals, he can be the top scorer in the team... However, his five goals are almost one-third of the team's goals. He is a well-deserved thigh.
!”
"Is the current situation of the team a problem with Zhao Kangming, the head coach? Of course Zhao Kangming is responsible. As the head coach, he can take no responsibility from anyone, but he cannot be without responsibility. But it is unfair to say that all the responsibility is his.
I think the team's forwards also have big problems. After Lai Zekai scored 16 goals last season, he wanted a salary increase. As a result, the club refused, and his performance this season plummeted. I don't know if it was because of his lack of talent.
A salary increase, dissatisfaction, deliberately working hard - Lai Zekai's fans please see clearly, what I said is 'I don't know if', it is a guess, not an affirmative sentence, so don't come here to mess with me...
"Ni Ziang also scored nine goals last season and performed well, but he was injured after only playing six rounds this year. He is still recovering from his injury. No one knows when he will return. And to put it bluntly, even if he can
There is no point in coming back. After all, I am 32 years old. If I suffer such a serious injury again, it is hard to say how much condition I will be able to have after recovering from the injury and how much physical fitness is left. In our first promotion to the Chinese Premier League
During the season, Brother Ni indeed made great contributions to the team's relegation. But everyone must also respect the laws of nature. As we get older, suffer serious injuries, and have reduced physical functions, many things are really powerless.
"The remaining Jiang Jianzhong is okay as a substitute, but not as a main force. And Nie Jin, who was promoted from the youth team, is too young to be counted on for the time being... Looking at it this way, there are as many as six forwards on the front line.
How many are available? The summer transfer window has been open for half a month, why don't we buy a striker who can score goals?"
In the thread bar of Flashing Star, a local fan posted such a technical analysis article. Because he commented on each forward, and the conclusion was very unfavorable to some people, it quickly caused a stir in the thread bar.
Controversy and onlookers, popularity grows.
Many people are fans of Lai Zekai. When they saw that this poster was quite disrespectful towards their idol, they all stood up to speak for their idol: "Master, don't take the lead. Who told you that Brother Lai can't go to work?"
Don't make random guesses or doubt the professional ethics of a professional player!"
"That's right, it's normal for players' status to have ups and downs. Moreover, the head coach of Flash Star last season was not Zhao Kangming. This season, the head coach has been changed. From formation to tactics, everything has been changed. Lai is also required to maintain the same state as last season.
, isn’t it too much to force others into a difficult situation?”
"Besides, as the team's top scorer last season, what's wrong with asking for a salary increase this season? It's only natural! The club didn't give him a salary increase, which led to Lai's poor performance. Isn't it Lai's responsibility? It's obviously the club's stinginess.
If you want to say that Brother Cheng Lai is unkind, you are the dog of the club, right?"
This poster seems to be full of energy, and he responds to those who confront him one by one with a tough attitude.
Even if he is not a fan of Lai Zekai, he will immediately fight back anyone who disagrees with him.
For example, someone replied to him: "Master, don't you know how to count? If you count carefully, how many of the six forwards did you name? There is also a Hu Lai!"
He immediately replied: "Ah, speaking of Hu Lai, I remembered that I wronged the club. It's not that the club didn't buy a forward, they did! But what was it bought? A substitute forward for the Poseidon Youth Team...don't blame me.
It's crazy. I also checked Hu Lai's performance in the Poseidon Youth Team. It turns out that our country's football statistics are not good. Not every youth team game has statistics. It can be found.
There are no details. Anyway, this man must be a substitute forward in the Poseidon Youth Team. In the Poseidon Youth Team games in the past three months, his name has not been seen much.
"I know that Zhao Kangming and this Hu Lai seem to have a good relationship. Zhao Kangming is also famous for cultivating young players, so I assume that this Hu Lai is a talented player with a bright future... But what we need now is
What? What we need now is a striker who can score goals as soon as he comes, not a young player who gives him a chance, gives him patience, lets him grow slowly, and then gives back in two or three years!
"Zhao Kangming is very good at training young players, but there are also examples of mistakes or failures... Was Zhang Qinghuan invited by Zhao Kangming? The club satisfied him, but the result? He is still in the detention center for drunk driving!
The talented player who spent so much money to buy from the club had high hopes. However, his performance was good and bad, his condition was unstable, his training attitude was questionable, he was in constant trouble off the field, and he was surrounded by scandals... Zhao Kangming felt that he had taken action.
Can you save a prodigal son? Isn’t that too inflated?”
"What the poster said is too extreme. It's not like the club hasn't found a way to solve the problem of weak forward. Hasn't it been trying to talk about Fang Xinjie?"
"Ha, if I don't say Fang Xinjie is okay, I get angry when I say it. Fang Xinjie is definitely capable. His contract with Xiao Jiang Linhai is about to expire, and he and the club can't agree on a new contract, so the club plans to take advantage of him while he is still alive.
I can sell it at a higher price. The transfer fee has been agreed upon, and the next step is to negotiate personal contracts with the players... But at this time, the club bought Qin Lin and then gave Qin Lin... four million yuan.
The annual salary! This is not nonsense, it is reported by the media... an annual salary of four million! Our team Li used to have the highest salary in the team, but it was only 1.5 million. To a 38-year-old veteran
, he is obviously here to retire, four million a year! Even if he is the former captain of the national team, it is really unbelievable, right? The former flash star was very stingy, when did he become so generous? Well, Fang Xinjie
Looking at the situation, you can offer five million to a veteran who is expected to retire after less than two years of playing. Then, as the fourth-ranked scorer in the Chinese League One last season, I am in my prime year and want a player.
An annual salary of 2.6 million is not excessive, right? But Flashing Star disagreed! Then the two sides were in a stalemate...

"Xinjie, good news!" As soon as he opened the car door and prepared to get in, Fang Xinjie received a call from his agent.
He was not in a hurry, but got into the car, closed the door, started the car, opened the phone's holder, put it in the cup holder on the center console, and then slowly drove the car out of the parking lot of the training base.
Talking to the agent on the phone: "What good news? I can't even play here, what other good news can there be?"
"What I want to say is the good news that can solve your current predicament!" the agent said cheerfully on the phone, "The Flash Star Club is a little loose... The opportunity has come, Xinjie!"
"Hey, did they agree to our numbers?" Upon hearing this, Fang Xinjie really perked up.
"No, they said the specific annual salary can be negotiated..."
"Hey, that's it? I thought they agreed..." Fang Xinjie was a little disappointed.
"Think about how they refused before, and now they come to me and tell me that we can talk. What does this mean, Xinjie, don't you know?"
Fang Xinjie slowly drove the car out of the training base gate, turned onto the road, and started to speed up. Because he was observing the situation on the road, he asked casually, a little perfunctorily: "What do you mean?"
"It means they are under a lot of pressure now and can't stand it anymore! I told you before that you have to be patient, right? The situation is in our favor. The forwards are weak and a group of forwards are useless and cannot score goals. In this situation, the strikers are useless.
Sooner or later, you won’t be able to hold on any longer. Don’t you think you just can’t hold on anymore and are you taking the initiative to come to us?” the agent said proudly on the phone.
"Then that's really good news... Then can it be a little higher? If it's three million, then four hundred thousand more won't be too much, right?"
"What are you thinking?" the agent sneered, "It will kill me if I can ask for 2.6 million, three million? As long as you can join the national team, let alone three million, six million
I dare to shout! Can you?"
"Okay, okay, I can't get in. Two hundred and six, just two hundred and six. Just worry about this. If it doesn't matter, I'll hang up and drive." Fang Xinjie curled his lips, showing an expression of disgust.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything for you. That's it. I'll contact you if there is any progress."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Xinjie hummed: "If I want to be able to join the national team, why would I ask you to be my fucking agent?!"
He stepped deeply on the accelerator, and the Porsche Panamera's engine roared loudly. The car rushed past the yellow light at the intersection ahead of him like an arrow.
With a bang, the vehicles and pedestrians at the intersection were left with their tail lights flashing, and all kinds of exclamations: "Wow, Porsche!"
"Isn't it amazing to drive a crappy car? You're an idiot who runs a yellow light!"

"Old Zhao, I heard news that the personal contract negotiations between the club and Fang Xinjie have made progress." Assistant coach Chen Mo came to the head coach's office and brought news to Zhao Kangming.
"Oh, it would be a good thing if he really comes. But is the club willing to give him an annual salary of 2.6 million?" Zhao Kangming replied while studying today's training plan.
"It's forced by the situation. Our forwards don't score goals, and we don't spend money to buy forwards. How can we not be scolded by the fans?"
"Clubs should realize that they are reluctant to spend money. How can it be so easy to go to the Super League..." Zhao Kangming stared at the training schedule, then pointed to one of the training items and said to Chen Mo: "The training content of offensive routine three and
The goal needs to be adjusted. We need the forwards to more actively insert into the space behind the opponent to receive the through ball... Then in the final teaching game, apply the training content of offensive routine three to the game and see the effect."
Hearing what Zhao Kangming said, Chen Mo immediately thought of why he arranged it this way: "Do you want to see how Hu Lai performs?"
Zhao Kangming smiled: "This is one reason."
"Is there any other reason?"
"I want his teammates to see what he's doing."
Chen Mo suddenly realized.
With Hu Lai's playing style, if he is to play, he will definitely need his teammates to cooperate with him. Therefore, his teammates must know Hu Lai's abilities and have confidence in Hu Lai, so that they will be willing to use Hu Lai in the game.
Pass the ball to him. Otherwise, just let Hu Lai play directly, and I'm afraid he won't be able to touch the ball a few times on the court...
As for why the training goal of Attack Routine 3 should be adjusted to allow the forward to more actively insert into the space behind the opponent, of course Hu Lai is good at doing this. He is good at inserting behind people to find space.
This adjustment of training content is basically tailor-made for Hu Lai.
