When he saw the football flying into the Tenglong reserve goal, Hu Lai turned and ran towards Li Chengwu who sent him the assist, then jumped up and high-fived him: "Nice pass!"
Li Chengwu smiled happily. As a first-time member of the U22 training team, he naturally hopes to stay with this team and play in the East Asian Cup, and at the same time have the opportunity to participate in the U23 Asian Cup held locally next year.
And his performance in training and games is crucial.
He himself did not expect that he could complete an assist on the field. : :
Seeing Hu Lai running towards him and praising him for his good pass, he quickly said to Hu Lai: "No, it was you who ran well!"
This is not a sign of humility, or a business blowback with Hu Lai.
Li Chengwu really felt that Hu Lai ran well.
He saw a space and also saw Hu Lai in the space. For him, it was not difficult to pass the football to that space. There was no need for any difficult pass, it was just a push pass.
If Hu Lai does not appear in that position, then the so-called gap is just a gap. Gaps like this can be seen everywhere in the game. As long as there is no one on the court, it can be called a gap, but obviously not every gap is
He can threaten the opponent's goal, but not every open space can be filled with teammates.
He had already seen Hu Lai's powerful movements in the Chinese League One.
In that "double-star showdown" between Flash Stars and Polar Stars, although Hu Lai did not score a goal, he used his off-the-ball movement to create a lot of trouble for the Polar Stars defenders.
Li Chengwu was on the bench of the team at that time and saw it very clearly.
Even the controversial penalty kick was caused by Hu Lai's excellent running without the ball. If it weren't for his ghostly movement that suddenly appeared in front of Lu Ming, how could Lu Ming have hastily pushed Hu Lai, thus giving the opponent a penalty
A chance for him to fall to the ground?
Of course, now that we are all teammates, there is no need to mention whether the penalty kick was a flop or not.
After being hurt by Hu Lai's off-ball movement, Li Chengwu has now become the beneficiary of Hu Lai's off-ball movement.
This fate... is so wonderful!

Seeing the U22 players celebrating the equalizer on the court, assistant coach Li Zhifei sighed to Shi Wuyin off the court: "Xiao Shi, you recruited him because he looks like you when you were young, right?"
Shi Wuyin nodded: "It does mean something like that..."
When he was young, Shi Wuyin was a famous striker in Chinese football. He was not physically very good, not fast, and not strong, but he was the record holder of goals in China's top league with 126 total goals in China's top league.
Count, no one can break it so far.
When he was playing football, Shi Wuyin was known for his erratic and flexible movements. People commented that he played with "quite aura".
"Then do you think he can become the second you?" Li Zhifei asked.
"I don't know..." Shi Wuyin shook his head, "And I don't want him to become the second me. That would be too miserable for him... My legs have been seriously injured five times.
, Lao Li.”
Li Zhifei stared and said: "Who said that! I mean, will he become the second you in terms of football achievements? Your top league goal record has not been broken yet, and there are also goals in a single season.
ball record..."
In addition to the record of 126 total goals in the top league, Shi Wuyin also set a record of 28 goals in a single season in China's top league, which has not been broken until now. Even those foreign forwards,
No one can score more than 28 goals in a single Chinese Super League season.
Shi Wuyin looked at Hu Lai who was celebrating the goal with his teammates on the court and said: "I don't even know about this, Lao Li. There is always a strange phenomenon in football. When a young man with a little talent appears,
, whether it is the media, fans, or our own people, they are keen to find a template for him in previous history. They have high hopes for him, and it seems that he should grow up according to the template... But the achievements of the template are too high.
Now, there will be pressure on young people, and the achievements of the template are mediocre. Does that mean that the potential of young people is just that? I don’t know if Hu Lai will become the second me, but I hope he will not become the second me.
, we are different.”
Li Zhifei glanced at Shi Wuyin. This man who had won three top league championships, was the top scorer in the top league three times, and was the top scorer in the history of China's top league, had not been able to participate in the World Cup until he retired.
When he said whether Hu Lai would become the second him, it reminded him of Hu Lai's previous World Cup declaration, right?
If he becomes the second Shi Wuyin, won't he miss out on the World Cup?
"That's right." Li Zhifei smiled. "You are you and he is him. What the future holds depends on his own efforts and development."

Guo Junfu was still observing, and this time he focused his observation on Li Chengwu and Hu Lai.
He found that Li Chengwu's ability to organize offense did not exceed his previous observations.
But Hu Lai's running position is really good.
Once, Hu Lai ran into the space, but Li Chengwu failed to pass the football. The anxious Guo Junfu slapped his thigh hard on the bench, startling the teammates next to him.
Regarding Hu Lai's ability to run without the ball, Guo Junfu has already felt it during training.
But the feeling is not very deep. After all, the team’s offensive routine training is determined by the coach’s instructions and how to move. If you do not pass and run according to the coach’s requirements, the coach will directly stop the training and then remove the player who made the mistake.
A scolding.
In actual games, it is impossible for the head coach to strictly control every movement of each player, which further tests the players' ability to perform on the spot. Fastest updated PC version::/
Guo Junfu discovered that Hu Lai's understanding of offensive routines was far beyond his imagination.
Everyone receives the same training, but Hu Lai is friendlier than other teammates in his choice of running routes and gaps.
After watching it for a while, Guo Junfu felt relieved.
He found that it was not Li Chengwu's outstanding strength, but Hu Lai's running position that was so good that he could always run into the space. At this time, as long as Li Chengwu could pass the football, he would almost pose a threat.
But obviously, Li Chengwu cannot always do this.
So the score is still tied at 1:1.
Guo Junfu, who was sitting on the bench, couldn't help but start thinking: If he were on the court, how would he cooperate with Hu Lai?
For example, in his run just now, it seemed that he wanted to go straight forward, but in the end, he stopped suddenly and retreated halfway through the run.
Li Chengwu misunderstood what he meant and passed the football to the front point, causing Hu Lai at the back point to miss the ball.
Anxious Guo Junfu slapped his thigh in the audience.
Why was he anxious? Because when Guo Junfu saw Hu Lai running forward, he started thinking, why did Hu Lai run forward?
There was obviously another forward from the Olympic team, Wang Hua, already there at the previous point, so there was no need for Hu Lai to go. If he went again, he would bring his defender there, and it would be too crowded...
Unless he is deliberately bringing the defensive player forward so that there will be a gap behind him...
right!
That must be it!
It should be passed later!
Sure enough, just as he was thinking this, Hu Lai suddenly stopped and retreated.
But it was a pity that Li Chengwu passed the football to the front point, where the crowd was dense, and the ball was not picked up by the Olympic team players at all.
If I were here, I would pass the football to the back point, which was an opening created by Hu Lai!
Guo Junfu thought in his heart.
In previous trainings, Guo Junfu had only seen Hu Lai's ability to find and run into gaps, but today in the actual game, he also saw Hu Lai's ability to create gaps.
This kid... really has a lot of brushes!
No wonder he was able to score 11 goals in just half a season in the Chinese League One...
He is definitely not just relying on Qin Lin and Zhang Qinghuan to feed him cakes.
Although it was just a warm-up match against the Tenglong reserve team, Guo Junfu believed in his own vision and his own judgment after observation.
This was enough for him to see a lot of things.

Shi Wuyin, the head coach of the U22 training team, also saw a lot. He said to Li Zhifei: "No matter what the result of this game is, I have made up my mind. We will use the current tactics as the mainstay in the East Asian Cup."
Li Zhifei nodded in agreement: "I was worried about whether Hu Lai could withstand the defensive pressure with his body in the middle. Now it seems that he is not the kind of striker who can stand in position and fight against the opponent's central defender.
Constantly running in and out of the penalty area, using his ability to run without the ball, dragging down the opponent's defense and creating chaos in the opponent's defense."
"And his strength is not as weak as people think. I think as long as he can withstand an impact from the opponent when catching the ball or shooting, we don't expect him to protect the football in the penalty area and wait for his teammates to come up.
He is better at avoiding defenders and finding space to catch the ball and shoot..." Shi Wuyuan said. "Old Zhao told me that special strength training was arranged for Hu Lai at the club. Starting from the second half of last season, he has been practicing
Three months ago, the pre-season winter training did not relax the demands on him, and his weight has increased a bit compared to when he first came to Flash Star... This is all a good thing."
The two people were talking on the coaching bench when they heard a whistle on the court and Hu Lai had fallen into the penalty area of the Tenglong reserve team.
The referee of this game is pointing his finger at the penalty spot.
Penalty kick!
Players from the Tenglong reserve team surrounded the referee, while teammates from the U22 training team ran to hug Hu Lai.
It was Li Chengwu who ran first!
He laughed and hugged Hu Lai: "Great job!"
Shi Wuyin and Li Zhifei looked at each other. The former smiled and shook his head: "And Hu Lai is very good at using his physical 'advantage'..."
