With Hu Lai’s brace, Anton Shining Star finally defeated Dashun Golden Arrow 3:2 at home.
This time there were no off-field factors such as Hu Lai's hatred of Wang Xianke. It was a pure football competition, and Flash Star still won.
This made all the people who were clamoring that Flash Star was able to defeat Golden Arrow because Hu Lai's off-board moves disrupted Golden Arrow's military morale and said "victory without force" were speechless.
Yes, the iconic representative who holds this view is the sports reporter Qin Bo who once made many excuses for Wang Xianke.
After this game, many Flash Star fans and Hu Lai fans flocked to his Weibo to leave messages asking him, "What new reasons do you have this time? Tell us about it so that we can all see it!"
Then they found that Uncle Qin had closed the comments...
At the post-match press conference, Jorge Dillon told reporters that several people in the Flash Stars team left a very deep impression on him, including Chen Xingyi, who was loaned out by the Golden Arrows, and also scored two goals
Hu Lai of degree.
When the reporter told him that there were rumors that European clubs were interested in Hulay, he smiled and nodded: "Of course, he has the ability to play football in Europe..."
These words shocked the reporters present - Jorge Dillon personally stated that Hulay has the ability to play football in Europe!
Who is Jorge Dillon?
He is a world-class coach. He once led La Liga giants Madrid Kings and Italian giants Turin Bulls to win the Champions League. Although that was at least fifteen years ago...but his achievements are displayed here, and they have also won the Champions League before.
I have always been coaching in mainstream European football, and I have nothing to say about my ability or vision.
He said that Hu Lai has the ability to play in Europe, which basically means that Hu Lai does have the ability.
This is the certification of a world-famous coach!
Some reporters immediately responded proudly to Dillon's comments: "It is said that the Premier League clubs are interested in him!"
"Premier League?" The smile on Dillon's face disappeared, replaced by a shake of his head, "Hu is very good, but there is still a long way to go before he can play in the Premier League. I think he can go to some low-level European leagues
, or the European leagues of small countries, be more pragmatic, and let’s talk about playing games in those leagues now..."
Dillon spread his hands.
These words made the Chinese reporters in the audience look at each other in shock.
Before, they thought Dillon was praising Hu Lai, but now they heard that this was not the case at all.
It turns out that what Dillon meant by being able to play in Europe was to play in low-level leagues in Europe, or in the leagues of small European countries... It is not the European Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 that everyone thinks.
Five major leagues.
It seems that there are fundamental differences in everyone’s understanding of the “European League”.
Chen Jianyu raised his hand and asked: "So, Mr. Dillon, how long do you think it will take for Hu Lai to play in the five major European leagues?"
Jorge Dillon shook his head slightly and spoke his answer through a translator: "I understand how eager you are for the country to produce a football genius. But I must tell the truth. I think you are too anxious. You should be patient.
Be more patient. Hu is just 21 years old this year, right? He is still young. I think it is very remarkable that he can play in the Premier League at the age of 25..."

“How can you be young at the age of 21? You should be looking for a girlfriend at the age of 21!” Xie Lan complained while watching the news.
"No, wife...your focus is a bit strange..." Hu Lixin was unable to complain.
“Isn’t Melli the same age as our son? Why doesn’t anyone say he is too young when he plays in Europe?” Xie Lan asked.
Hu Lixin was startled: "You compare Hu Lai with Meili? Can they be compared?"
“Why can’t we compete? He didn’t lose to our son in the Olympics. Speaking of which, he was defeated by our son!”
"That's not what you say...Although Melli is Argentinian, he grew up in Spain. He has been receiving top youth training in Spain, and his talent is even higher...You look like he has been in La Liga since he was 16 years old.
He appeared on the stage, but in fact he has always been in that system, and there is no problem of adapting to him at all, everything is natural and comes naturally." Hu Lixin explained.
“What about Park? How old was he when he started playing football in Europe?”
Although Xie Lan did not name his name, Hu Lixin still knew that the person his wife was asking about was Park Chun Tai, so he said: "Eighteen years old... Park Chun Tai's situation is different from Hu Lai's. He also went abroad to Europe at a very young age.
After receiving training, although he is Korean, he is already a European player at heart. Hu Lai became a monk halfway and only started to receive football training in high school. It is already remarkable to be able to achieve what he has today..."
“So what this person said still makes sense?” Xie Lan said to her husband, pointing to the photo of Dillon on her phone.
Hu Lixin nodded: "I also think it would be good if Hu Lai could play in the five major European leagues before he was 25 years old. Qin Lin was also 25 years old when he went to play in the Bundesliga. Qin Lin played in the Chinese football team
You know what the status of the altar is."
Xie Lan thought for a while, and then sighed quietly: "If only we had supported him in playing football, maybe he could have gone to Europe when he was a teenager..."
Hu Lixin was speechless when he heard his wife's emotion.
Seeing that her husband suddenly became silent, Xie Lan realized that she had said the wrong thing. She quickly explained: "Ah, I'm not blaming you, Lao Hu..."
Hu Lixin smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter, it's true that I delayed him."
Xie Lan shook his head firmly: "No! It's not your fault. It's all Wang Xianke's fault!"
Hu Lixin: “……”
Speaking of Wang Xianke, Xie Lan unlocked his phone again and started to check the Chinese Super League schedule on the "Goal" website APP: "Let me see when the match against Huanghai Jade Bird is... In the twenty-eighth round of the league, we will play Jade Bird away from home.
Two rounds later...October 20th! Okay, mark it on your calendar and watch the live broadcast then!"
She said through gritted teeth.

“Yu, what do you think of my answer at the press conference yesterday? Can it satisfy them?”
Jorge Dillon, who has returned to the Dashun Golden Arrow training ground, looked at the players who were recovering from training in an orderly manner on the sidelines of the training ground, and suddenly asked the translator beside him, Yu Jintao.
“To be honest, Mr. Dillon... I’m afraid not,” Yu Jintao replied.
"I think so. I saw the expressions of the reporters. Some of them acted as if I was insulting Hu. But in fact, I was really praising him. You know, Yu, I don't
Likes to make enemies everywhere."
“I understand, Mr. Dillon.”
"How long has it been since your country's players went to Europe to play football? Why did you think about going to the five major leagues from the beginning? The whole of Europe doesn't know you yet. I know Hu's outstanding performance in the Olympics, but that's just
One Olympic Games is not enough. I'm not saying that Europe doesn't know Hu, I mean that the whole of Europe doesn't know enough about your Chinese football. Your players haven't appeared there for a long time, so the people there are completely unfamiliar with you.
, there is no trust, so why should they give your players a chance?"
“Yes, Mr. Dillon.”
"You should first build Europe's trust in your players step by step... Why are there so many Korean and Japanese players playing in Europe? That's because there are many players like Park who have performed well in Europe and won our trust.
The managers and head coaches of those clubs know very well that you don’t have to worry too much about quality when bringing in Korean or Japanese players. But in China...after Qin Dynasty, you seemed to have closed yourself off again. We don’t understand you, and we don’t trust you.”
"You are right, Mr. Dillon." Yu Jintao first agreed, then hesitated and said, "If you could say this to reporters at yesterday's press conference, I don't think there will be any discussion on the Internet today.
There are so many voices criticizing your arrogance."
The old man smiled slyly: "That's not possible, Yu. You can't say these words at the post-match press conference. At least you should arrange an exclusive interview for me. And my exclusive interview will be charged."
“But I don’t have any money to give you, Mr. Dillon.” Yu Jintao wondered.
“No, I don’t need your money, I’ll give it to you for free. Because you are my friend, ha!” Dillon patted Yu Jintao’s shoulder.
Yu Jintao smiled and thanked: "I'm really honored that you said that." Then he asked: "Then what do you think of Chen Xingyi? He will be your player next season. Do you think he can go to Europe to play football?
?”
"His speed is his biggest advantage, but speed alone is not enough. He also needs to strengthen his ability to combine man and ball, and at the same time strengthen the practice of small skills. Of course, the most important thing is to strengthen his understanding of European football concepts. Your country has
Many players are good in terms of personal ability, but their understanding of football is really lagging behind..." At this point, Dillon sighed.
"When I first came to Golden Arrow, I thought this was the team that had won the Chinese Super League championship. The players here were the best in the Chinese Super League. But they didn't even know my tactical intentions.
I couldn't even understand... Later I discovered that when I was teaching in Europe, I didn't need to explain the things in detail. The basic things had to be broken into pieces and taught to them again. It was like giving a class to a group of primary school students. God
...I now feel that the salary I asked for was still too small, and it did not include these additional work remunerations..."
Dilong held his forehead, looking very weak.
Yu Jintao sighed in his heart. The old man said everything to the point. It was hard to hear but they were all true.
He didn't understand this before. After becoming Dillon's translator and working at Golden Arrow, he discovered that China's top teams, which he had always thought were very powerful, were just like elementary school students in Dillon's eyes. He felt that China
The level of football and the advanced football in the world are really far apart.
It is so far away that it even makes people feel hopeless, as if we will never be able to catch up with the pace of the world.
He thought of Hu Lai, who was the only one Dillon could consider capable of playing football in Europe. Although he had to wait until he was twenty-five to go to the five major leagues, at least he could go out.
This young man has become everyone’s hope.
It’s no wonder that what Dillon said yesterday caused outrage online.
Love is deep and longing is intense.
Will the expectations and trust of so many people become a mountain that crushes that young man?
