When Shen Lang saw the football flying toward the center of the penalty area, he immediately realized that Chen Xingyi's pass was of high quality, but it was not easy to catch.
The reason for saying high quality is that football is passed short, flat and fast. This kind of cross is very difficult to prevent. Being able to pass this kind of ball means that Chen Xingyi is very good at crossing. Most of the crosses are high and high.
When it floated and swayed in front of the goal, both the defender and the goalkeeper were ready. The forward had to stop and get stuck in position to fight hand-to-hand with the defenders.
However, this kind of short, flat and fast crosser can give full play to the advantages of forwards in the counterattack.
But at the same time, this extremely fast ball makes it very difficult for the players in the middle to handle it.
It is impossible to stop and hit again. If you want to shoot directly, it will test the forward's shooting ability and ball feel.
And... generally this kind of short, flat and fast cross is at the height of the head. The receiving player in the middle can directly use the power of sprint to complete the top, so the threat is very high.
But when Chen Xingyi passed the ball, the ball was at knee height. How could the midfielder hit the ball at this height? Did he dive to the top?
That would be much more difficult...
When Shen Lang saw Chen Xingyi's cross, so many thoughts flashed through his mind.
He felt that Hu Lai would either volley or dive to the top. But no matter which shooting method was used, it would be very difficult.
Then he saw Hu Lai choose a more difficult way...
He jumped forward while sprinting, without any obvious force, or even obvious movement of stretching his legs to shoot. He straightened his instep, and he shot the football into the goal...
It was as if... it was as if he had posed in advance and knew that the football would definitely hit the instep of his straight right foot.
This goal didn't look as eye-catching as the diving dive or volley. It even came in a little effortlessly, as if the goal was completed inadvertently.
But in the eyes of Shen Lang, who had watched countless balls, this ball shocked him so much that he almost didn't make a sound.
Because it’s too relaxed and casual!
Only those who really understand football can understand how difficult and beautiful Hu Lai’s shot is!
"The goal is scored!!! Beautiful! Beautiful! Wonderful! World wave! Yes! This is the world wave!" Shen Lang shouted excitedly, "I tell you, not only those long-range shots outside the penalty area are worthy of being called the world wave!"
It’s a wave! This is a world wave!”
Some of the fans watching the Tengfei video broadcast were frightened by Shen Lang's sudden excitement and didn't understand what was so exciting about the ball.
Yes, a goal was scored, but wasn’t it just a goal?
Chen Xingyi made a pass from the wing, and Hu Lai shot from the middle.
That's it.
Is there still a world wave?
Why is this causing such a stir in the world?
It's neither a leap to the top, nor a volley, nor an upside down golden hook... Where is the world wave?
There were many "??????" in the barrage to express their doubts that Shen Lang was so excited.
But there are also people who understand football, so there are many exclamation points in the barrage: "!!!!!"
Also knowledgeable about football is the commentator from Anton TV. After seeing Hu Lai score, he blurted out: "I won the Olympic Games——"
The curse word almost came to a complete end, but luckily he reacted immediately and made a hairpin bend with his tongue in his mouth: "Wow!!! Wow!!! Wow!!!"
He repeated it a few more times, for fear that everyone would not know that he was shouting "Wow" and think it was "Holy shit"...
"Hu Lai! He and Chen Xingyi scored a very beautiful goal! It can be called the football version of 'alley-oop'!"
When he said this, many fans in front of the TV could understand why he was so excited.
After all, almost all alley-oops on the basketball court are exciting goals, so obviously those on the football field are also exciting!
"We have seen many non-stop shots from the middle, but this is the first time we have seen Hu Lai and Chen Xingyi's cooperation! It's so satisfying!" Commentator Lu Guanlin also explained excitedly. "It's as if everything is perfect.
It is completely natural, without any trace of deliberately seeking cooperation..."
Not only him, Shen Lang also explained to the audience during the live broadcast why he said Hu Lai's ball was a world wave.
In addition, anyone who understands the ball and can see the subtleties of the ball is also explaining it to those around him who still don't understand.
They seem to be determined to let everyone know how difficult Hu Lai's shot is and how beautiful this goal is...
"...Does this ball look very ordinary? Does it make people feel ordinary? That's right! Being able to handle such a difficult cross ball so easily and freely fully illustrates Hu Lai's ability in front of the goal.
How good it feels! He has surpassed many forwards in the Chinese League One in terms of shooting control!" Shen Lang made the assertion, and was not afraid that someone would interpret his words and argue with him in the future. "I will say it today.
Leave it here! In the entire Chinese football world, Hu Lai is probably the only forward who can score this goal!"
"'Big Mouth' Brother Lang started talking wildly again!"
"Brother Lang is right, this ball is really more difficult than you think!"
"Only fake fans will say 'this' and 'this' every time. If you have the ability to play and put you in that position, it will be good if you can kick the ball. Do you think you can score easily like Hu Lai?"
※※※
After scoring the goal, Hu Lai did not run to the corner flag area to do his signature celebration. Instead, he ran towards Chen Xingyi who was passing the ball for him and ran up to hug him.
"Beautifully delivered, little star!"
Chen Xingyi was still a little confused: "How did you kick the ball in?"
He clearly didn't see Hu Lai's shooting action just now...
"Haha, stop studying this! You have an assist!" Hu Lai patted his back hard.
Only then did Chen Xingyi react - yes, I have statistics!
He has always hoped to prove his strength in Flash Star. Of course, scoring goals is the way to prove it, but it is not the only way. Assists can also be used.
After all, he is not positioned as a scorer, so assists are of course very important.
But after thinking of this, he was even more surprised and looked at Hu Lai with wide eyes: "Fuck, you can score this kind of pass?!"
He really didn't expect that his cross would turn into an assist...
"Nonsense! Don't even look at who is responding in the middle!" Hu Leon began to say triumphantly. "I'm telling you, as long as you dare to pass, I dare to go in!"
Before Chen Xingyi could say anything else, the swarming Flash Star players hugged the two of them, cheering and shouting loudly.
They came for Hu Lai's goal, but they also involved Chen Xingyi.

After seeing the goal, the head coach Zhao Kangming on the sidelines slapped him hard: "That's right, Lao Chen! The two of them are special and have a chemical reaction!"
Chen Mo grinned: "I told you, that kid Hu Lai is a treasure hunter! From Zhang Qinghuan to Chen Xingyi, who else can't he influence? Even if he goes to the Olympic team, he will have an influence.
There are a lot of people here!"
Zhao Kangming rubbed his chin happily and looked at the large group of people with appreciative eyes.
Neither he nor Chen Mo were very excited about this goal, although they both knew that Hu Lai played the ball very beautifully.
But so what?
For those who know Hu Lai, isn't this Hu Lai's normal behavior?
Compared with a wonderful goal, they obviously care more about the overall performance of this team.
Chen Xingyi's assist not only connected him with Hu Lai, but also gave Zhao Kangming hope.
It is true that this young man is not very familiar with the others in the team, but so what?
As long as he can connect with Hu Lai.
Anyway, Flashing Star's offensive tactics will only find Hu Lai in the end.
As long as he can connect with Hu Lai during the game, he will be integrated into the team's tactics.
Moreover, the speed and sharp attack he showed in this attack are exactly what Zhao Kangming wanted him to show when he loaned him out.
Of course, Zhao Kangming knows very well that one goal in one game cannot explain the problem. He still needs to continue to observe Chen Xingyi's performance.
However, the former youth training director who is good at training young people also knows very well how important this assist is to Chen Xingyi. Giving him confidence when he needed it most will only be good for his future performance, not bad.
Everything is difficult at the beginning...
With this end open and already running, it was simple for Chen Xingyi - it was just a matter of speeding up, speeding up, and speeding up again.
Young people, crush everything in front of you!

After Chen Hantang saw the football fly into the goal, he was relieved. He was not as excited as others in the box. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass with his hands hanging down, looking down at Hu Lai who scored the goal and ran towards his son.
, and then hugged him.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that starting from this ball, his son's life in Flashing Star would be much easier.
Although he still doesn't know whether his choice to come to Flashing Star is really the right one, but so far, he has confidence in the future.
Zhao Kangming is a coach who is good at training young players, coupled with Hu Lai, a teammate who takes special care of Xingyi...
Shining Star is indeed a more suitable stage for his son than Golden Arrow.
Just play football with peace of mind here.
Chen Hantang decided to find a house to rent for his son and himself after the game was over, and moved there from the hotel.
When his son goes to train, he will tidy up the rental house so that the father and son can have a home-like place to stay in this strange city.
※※※
After celebrating Hu Lai's goal, the Shining Star players turned around to congratulate Chen Xingyi.
It has been a month since he joined the team and he has finally produced a performance that proves his strength.
"That breakthrough just now was so beautiful!"
"This assist is comparable to Zhang Qinghuan's assist last season!"
Zhang Qinghuan also nodded: "Well, it's worse than mine, but it's not much different!"
"Zhang Qinghuan, stop pretending, I can run faster than you!"
"Damn, I used to run fast when I was young!"
"You are only twenty-three, brother!"
"Can't I do it when I'm nineteen?!"
"Hahaha!"
The Flash Star players burst into laughter.
Chen Xingyi laughed along with everyone.
Flash Star is a young football club with no brilliant record in its short history. Being able to play for this team for more than three seasons can be considered a "fame". The club can only emphasize this when promoting itself.
They are rooted in the local area and value young people. They don't talk about what championships they have won or what national players they have played... because they have never won a championship or produced any national players.
Everything here is a completely different experience than at Golden Arrow.
On the first day he went to Golden Arrow, the club’s manager Xue took him and his dad to visit the club’s honor room, and then told him one by one about the championships the club had won and the legendary players it had…
When I heard about him at the time, my heart was filled with excitement, and I wished I could immediately join these legendary celebrities and become a part of this traditional wealthy family with a long history.
As a result, I later discovered that those legends and glorious past had nothing to do with me, and it was very, very difficult to become a legend in Golden Arrow.
The heavy history has become a burden that he must bear.
In addition, Coach Wang Xianke is an unsmiling and extremely serious coach, which makes him feel quite stressed at times.
Now he found that given his somewhat laid-back personality, Flashing Star made him feel more comfortable...
Here, even the big brother Qin Lin has no airs, and the former super genius Zhang Qinghuan can be ridiculed at will.
There is no strict hierarchy among everyone.
He finally understood why Hu Lai was able to thrive here like a fish in water.
He thought of what head coach Zhao Kangming said to him on his first day at Flash Star.
"Flash Star is a young team with a youthful temperament. Everyone is young. You should be very happy here."
Director Zhao didn’t lie to me, it was really like this...
※※※
During the live broadcast of Tengfei Video, countless fans of Chen Xingyi shed tears because they saw their idol smiling so happily.
From the National High School Competition to the present, only they can best understand the darkness and hardships they have experienced.
They didn't know if Xingzai was really on the right track - when Xingzai came on as a substitute in the Chinese Super League for the first time, many of them cheered and celebrated, feeling that they finally got through it.
.
But the cruel reality tells them again and again, don't be happy too early, don't be happy too early...
It's as if it's a luxury for them to expect Xingzi to perform as well as he did in the national competition.
But no matter what, after trudging in the darkness for so long, they finally saw a glimmer of light.
Just relying on this glimmer of light is enough for these fans who have persisted until now to have more sweet dreams and wait for a few more days with hope...
