"In the just-concluded 28th round of the Chinese League One, Flash Star finally scored again. Hu Lai scored the team's only goal in the game, but it could not prevent Flash Star from declining.
Trend. Since losing 0:2 to Lin Chun Hongqi in the 26th round of the league, Flash Star has suffered three consecutive defeats in the league. Their league ranking has also dropped from the previous ninth place to fourteenth.
name, only two places away from the relegation zone...
"Flash Star's recent poor performance is directly related to the injury of Qin Lin, the core of their midfield and the absolute main force. Qin Lin was injured in the match against Lin Chunhongqi. He was unable to continue the game and was substituted. After the game, he was inspected
It was found that the fifth metatarsal bone of his right foot had cracks in two places... It is initially expected that it will take three months to return to the training ground. By then, the Chinese League One will have ended... In other words, Qin Lin will not be able to return to the training ground this season.
It’s considered a complete reimbursement...
"The loss of Qin Lin has had a great impact on Flash Star. The team's offense has lost its threat. In only this round of the league among the three rounds of games, Hu Lai seized the hard-won opportunity and scored a goal for Flash Star, which can be regarded as redemption.
It will save a little face, but it will not help the result of the game... With six rounds left in the league, if Flash Star cannot solve this problem, I'm afraid all their energy will have to be used to fight for relegation..."
"Fuck!"
Although the article mentioned Hu Lai and did not criticize him, but rather made a positive comment, Hu Lai still couldn't help but cursed.
Yes, that's right, his goal in the away game saved a little face for Flash Star... But what's the use of face?
Otherwise, it's a loss, and you didn't get a single point from your opponent.
As a result, after three consecutive defeats, the team dropped to fourteenth place, eight points behind Yunshan Caiyun, who was in sixteenth place.
If it weren't for this eight-point gap, Hu Lai would really have thought that he had traveled through time and space and returned to the time when he just joined Flash Star two months ago...
At that time, Shining Star was also in the fourteenth place, and Yunshan Caiyun was still ranked sixteenth, but at that time Shining Star was six points ahead of Yunshan Caiyun.
So after going around for more than two months and playing eleven rounds of the league, everything is back to square one. Flash Star's lead in the relegation zone has expanded from six points to eight points. It's really... gratifying.
Of course he was not criticizing this article when he used the curse words, but he was criticizing this damn football.
Qin Lin's serious injury really fully explains why it is always said that "football is round".
Prior to this, Mr. Qin Lin played the entire game in every game. Even at the last moment of the game, he was able to run back and defend on the field. His physical fitness was better than that of some young people.
His excellent physical fitness even makes people forget that he is actually a veteran among veterans who will turn 39 at the end of the year.
As age increases, muscle strength declines, and injuries will naturally increase.
How did he completely lose his position in the South China Tigers before?
Isn't it just because of the injury?
An injury plus recovery time lasted almost three months. When he returned to the team, he discovered that there was no room for him in the team.
Unwilling to retire, he declined the club management contract offered to him by the South China Tigers Club and chose to take the risk and join his hometown team Shining Stars in the Chinese League One.
But after returning from injury, he has never played a systematic game with the South China Tigers. After all, he has been reduced to a substitute player and has fewer and fewer opportunities to play.
After coming to Flash Star, he has been playing high-intensity and high-load games. Before he got injured, he played in all the games he played.
So the body finally failed to hold on...
collapsed.
Judging from the team's performance in these three rounds, without the big boss Qin Lin, it has basically lost its backbone - Qin Lin's leadership temperament as "the last big boss of Chinese football" is not blown out by the media, although he is not the captain.
, but his role in the team is greater than that of the captain.
Hu Lai is now particularly worried about the team's eventual relegation prospects.
If the team is really relegated, I'm afraid his life in the team will not be easy.
As soon as Director Zhao left, his backer was gone. If he were replaced by a head coach with the same virtue as that Sun He, who thought that he did not fit his tactics and relegated himself to the sidelines, his career, which had just begun to flourish, would not be around.
Are you about to hit a dead end?
That's why he was so upset and smelling sweet things.

When Wang Guangwei heard Hu Lai's foul language, he walked out of his room and stood at the door of Hu Lai's room to comfort him: "Don't be too impatient, Hu Lai. After all, we are still eight points away from the relegation zone..."
"Haha." Hu Lepi smiled. "There are still six rounds of the league, who knows what will happen next? Besides, when the team ranked ninth, no one thought that we could fall back.
ah……"
Faced with what Hu Lai said, Wang Guangwei had nothing to say, because it was the truth.
The polarization in the league is very serious. The points of the top teams are far behind the other teams, but the teams in the bottom half are fighting each other and are entangled with each other, making it difficult to separate.
If you win a game and advance one place, it is a good result, but if you lose a game, you may drop several places...
"Actually, I think the team's current problem is not in offense, but in strengthening defense. Even if you and Murphy find it difficult to score goals next, as long as we can defend the opponent's offense, a draw is not bad. Eight points ahead.
The advantage is to re-solidify the defense and at least stop losing." Wang Guangwei put forward his own opinions from the perspective of a central defender.
Hu Lai shook his head: "After all, defense is passive. If you want to improve the team's confidence, you still have to rely on offense. Otherwise, if you can't score in the front, you will lose confidence in the back as you defend."
Wang Guangwei disagreed with him: "Defense is the source of offense. If you can't defend well, you will always lose the ball in the back. How can you score in the front?"
"Offense is the best defense. As long as we can score goals, everyone will have confidence. Isn't it possible to get twice the result with half the effort on defense?"
The two of them, a central defender and a forward, both stand in their respective positions and hope that the team can improve.
Wang Guangwei spread his hands: "But now that we have lost the midfield commander and the core organizer, how can we run the offense? You have run into positions a lot in these two games, but who can pass the football to your feet every time?"
?Compared to Waters and Brother Lin, they are still almost boring. The rest, whether it is Leng Jinyu or Han Xiangfei, are not passers..."
Hu Lai admitted that Wang Guangwei's analysis of the team's current midfielder's abilities was somewhat reasonable, but he always felt that he had missed someone?
There are so many people in the midfield of Flash Star, is it really impossible to find someone who can be a midfield organizer?
He suddenly thought of someone: "How about Zhang Qinghuan?"
※※※
"How is Zhang Qinghuan?"
In the Flashing Star Liucheng training base, the recovery training for the day had long ended, but Zhao Kangming did not leave. Instead, he was in his office discussing with assistant coach Chen Mo how to solve the team's current predicament.
Qin Lin is out for the season, and the team needs someone who can take over all of Qin Lin's responsibilities and organize the offense.
And Chen Mo proposed the candidate in his mind.
Faced with his proposal, Zhao Kangming did not answer, but fell into deep thought.
"I know what you are worried about, Lao Zhao. But the problem is that now we have no one except him, why not let him try? Even if it doesn't succeed, it won't be worse than our current situation. Besides,
...I have been observing Zhang Qinghuan. I don’t know if Hu Lai’s appearance has stimulated him. Anyway, in the past month or so, he has been quite honest, and his attitude has improved a lot during training. I haven’t heard of him going to a nightclub for a while.
..." Chen Mo continued to persuade and gave his reasons.
Zhao Kangming tapped the table with his fingers and said in deep thought: "Look again, Lao Chen. Anyway, there is still a week until the next round of the league. Let's keep an eye on it. I'm really scared of that kid...
"
"That's okay, no matter how cautious you are with him, you can't be too cautious." Chen Mo also felt that Lao Zhao's concerns were reasonable.
After all, before this, how much effort Lao Zhao had put into Zhang Qinghuan, how much high hopes he had given, and how much tolerance he had shown... What was the result? Who would have thought that Zhang Qinghuan's reward would be to be sent to a detention center...
After being slapped in the face like crazy, even Lao Zhao had to use the utmost malice to speculate on this prodigal son. It seems that he has indeed come to his senses recently, but who knows how long his "sudden awakening" will last?
※※※
"How is Zhang Qinghuan?" Wang Guangwei repeated Hu Lai's question, and then laughed.
"That's right, Hu Lai, you haven't been in contact with him for a long time, so you are not very familiar with him. Let me tell you, when he first came to our team, he did occasionally perform well, and Director Zhao is also willing to give him
Opportunities. But later, such opportunities became less and less... Let me think about it, how long has it been since he was selected into the squad? Fifteen games. Fifteen games without being included in the squad. What does this mean?
It means that Director Zhao has completely given up on him. Since being detained, he has completely indulged himself and intensified, as if he doesn’t care at all whether he can appear..."
Hu Lai frowned and said, "That's not right. I think his attitude during recent training seems to be quite normal."
"Then how do you know how long his normal performance can last? He has had times like this before, but after playing two games, he couldn't hold on anymore. I sincerely advise you not to place your hopes on Zhang Qinghuan.
He...is hopeless." Wang Guangwei shook his head and sighed.
Just when Wang Guangwei finished speaking, Hu Lai suddenly heard a long-lost mechanical voice in his mind:
"Mission: The prodigal son returns with gold. In order to maintain relegation and complete the task of gratitude to Zhao for his guidance, Zhang Qinghuan must be activated. Mission reward: points × 20,000, [Lingxi Card] × 1, [Stamina Potion] × 10."
Holy shit?! The task was actually released to the system... No, the system actually released the task?!
Hu Lai's consciousness quickly entered the system space, opened the task log, and found the specific instructions for this task.
The mission itself is easy to understand, but there's not much to say about it.
This is the mission reward...
Hu Lai's consciousness fell directly on the [Lingxi Card].
This is a blue card. On the card is the back of a player. He is wearing the No. 23 jersey. His face cannot be seen clearly. He has a football at his feet and points diagonally forward with one hand, seeming to signal his teammates to move.
At the same time, all the detailed information about this card poured into Hu Lai's mind, allowing him to immediately understand what this card was used for:
[Lingxi Card]: The heart has a clear connection. This card can be used on any teammate. After using it, the teammate's understanding of the game with the card user will be improved. It is only valid for three consecutive games.
Holy shit? Where is this thing?
If Hu Lai remembered correctly, he remembered that this was the second card given by the system so far.
The first card is the [World Wave Experience Card]. He has personally experienced how awesome this orange card is.
It can be seen that the system rarely gives this form of reward, because if it is given too much, it will be suspected of excessive cheating. However, it is very generous with various training scrolls, and they are not expensive. You can buy them in the mall with points, which is better than a hundred.
The [World Wave Experience Card] that can only be purchased with 10,000 points is much better.
It seems that the system also encourages Hu Lai to improve his strength through hard training instead of reaching the sky in one step...
Otherwise, if he uses three [World Wave Experience Cards] in every game and averages three World Wave goals per game, wouldn't he have already become a world-class star?
On the other hand, things are rare and valuable, and the system is so stingy in giving such card props, naturally because these props are awesome and powerful enough.
The blue card does not look as handsome as the orange card, but it is more practical. After all, it is valid for three games. And for a forward like him who needs to rely on the support of his teammates, this card is much more useful than the [World Wave Experience Card]
!
Because he can improve his level through hard training, but he cannot guarantee that his teammates will be willing to pass the ball to him. Of course, if he really reaches the status of Qin Lin, no one will dare not to pass the ball to him.
Just waiting for him to get to that point, when? The early stage of growth is when this kind of support is most needed. Before his own status in the world has not been reached, he can have teammates who are willing to believe in him and are willing to take the initiative to work with him.
Cooperation, for Hu Lai, is like rain after a long drought.
For example, in the first game he played on the Dongchuan Middle School team, because he had not proven his ability before, and because he was not popular at the time, no one was willing to pass the ball to him. In the end, he just
I was able to pass the lucky score and score a goal.
If he had had this card at that time, I'm afraid it would have been easier and easier to integrate into the team...
Now that he is in Flashing Star, he is favored by the head coach and loved by his teammates, so he doesn’t have to worry too much about the problem of no one passing the ball to him. But he can’t stay in Flashing Star for the rest of his life, right? In the future, he will go to a new environment and face unfamiliar people.
Teammates, coaches and tactical arrangements, wouldn’t this card be able to play a role?
Thinking of this, Hu Lai's eyes grew hot.
※※※
Wang Guangwei saw that Hu Lai fell into silence after he finished speaking. He thought he had hit Hu Lai, so he comforted him: "Don't think about Zhang Qinghuan, he will go back after this season anyway. Even if the team is relegated,
It can't affect him. In this way, he will be even less likely to contribute to the team's relegation... I think you have made the worst plan for the future prospects, but in fact the situation may not be that bad. As long as we perform normally and stabilize,
Relegation is definitely not a problem..."
"No." Hu Lai suddenly raised his head and said, "Just because of what he did in the past, we can't assume that he can't change his habit of eating shit."
Having said this, he said with an upright face: "As his teammate, we cannot watch him slide into the dark abyss and remain indifferent. Aren't we a team, a whole? Don't abandon, don't give up! The advanced will lead the backward,
Never give up any underachiever, this is the biggest reliance for Flash Star to stay in Class A!"
