"...There are only two games left in this World Cup. So far, the Chinese team has scored a total of 18 goals in six games, and its offensive power is the highest in this World Cup. This achievement is unprecedented in the 21st century.
In the history of the World Cup, it can also tie for first place with Brazil and Germany.
"Among these 18 goals, Hu Lai scored 11 goals alone and was the biggest contributor. However, we cannot think that the Chinese team's offense depends entirely on Hu Lai. This World Cup is different from the previous two.
, except for Hu Lai, there are also many other Chinese team players who have scored goals.
"Below Hu Lai, there is Luo Kai, who became the second-leading scorer in the Chinese team with two goals. The remaining five goals were divided among five different players, including Peng Weijun, who scored the first goal in the opening game.
, Zhang Qinghuan and Xia Xiaoyu who scored their first career World Cup goals, as well as Wang Guangwei and Zhou Zijing..."
After seeing this article analyzing the offensive strength of the Chinese team, Chen Hantang shook his head and sighed.
His wife Zhuang Jianhong glanced at him.
Although it was a very happy thing that the Chinese team reached the final, after that night, my husband seemed to be worried.
"Is there someone outside?" Zhuang Jianhong asked.
Chen Hantang was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "What are you talking about!"
"Otherwise, why are you always frowning and sighing every day? Let me tell you, Chen Hantang, if you really have someone outside, just tell me so that we can get together and part ways. Don't stay here.
You are deliberately looking for trouble every day!" Zhuang Jianhong said in a stern tone.
When Chen Hantang saw that his wife had a bad attitude, he immediately changed his attitude. He said in a low voice: "That's not what I meant. Oh, I didn't mean that..."
"what does that mean?"
"I'm worried about our son!"
"Worried about him? What does he have to worry about? Is he injured? I didn't see it mentioned in the news..." As he said that, his wife started to check her phone, as if she wanted to check if there was any latest news on her phone.
Chen Hantang couldn't laugh or cry when he saw her like that, and explained: "Our son hasn't scored a goal so far, aren't you worried?"
Zhuang Jianhong shook his head: "Don't worry. What's there to worry about?"
"How can you not be worried?" Chen Hantang tried to make his wife, who doesn't understand football, realize the seriousness of the problem. "Seven people in the Chinese team scored goals in this World Cup. Everyone in the main attacking lineup scored goals, except for your son.
."
"Didn't he have three assists? He has the most in the team." The wife still didn't feel that her son had failed in any way.
"It's tied for the most. Xia Xiaoyu also has three assists. And no matter how many assists there are, they can't compare to one goal... Our son has been in such excellent form at the club this season and even reached the Champions League final. This is besides Hu Lai.
The first person! In such a good state, he couldn't score a single goal in the World Cup... How can this be justified?"
"Is there anything you can't explain? I think you're disappointed, right?"
Chen Hantang did not directly answer his wife's words and continued: "I am worried about our son's mentality. You must know that he has no chance to score in this World Cup. How did Hu Lai score the goal in the opening game? Not yet.
After our son's shot was saved, he scored with a supplementary shot? Also, during the game against England, did our son have a shot that hit the goal post and was taken advantage of by Hu Lai? What if both goals were scored?
Okay, has our son already scored two goals now?"
"Ha." Zhuang Jianhong sneered, "Who told me that 'there are no ifs in football'?"
Chen Hantang ignored his wife, but suddenly stood up to get his cell phone, and at the same time said to himself: "No, I have to call that guy and enlighten him."
"You're just looking for trouble!" his wife rolled her eyes behind him and complained.
Chen Hantang was too lazy to meet his wife, so he directly dialed his son's phone number.
He didn't have to wait long before the call was answered.
But it was so noisy over there that my son’s voice didn’t sound very real:
"Hello, Dad? Why did you call me all of a sudden?"
"Hey, eh, Xing... Dad just wants to tell you, that..."
Before Chen Hantang finished speaking, he heard his son's exclamation from the other end of the phone: "Wait! Wait! It's exploding! Four s**ts!"
At the same time, in the background, Chen Hantang heard Hu Lai yelling: "Fuck you little star! How can you have four points?! You beast!!"
"Hey! Can you afford it? If not, I'll run away!"
At this time, Chen Xingyi seemed to remember that he was still on the phone with his father, so he asked into the phone again: "Dad, what's the matter with you?"
"Uh...it's nothing, so what...just have fun, ah."
After saying that, Chen Hantang hung up the phone consciously.
Then he turned around and saw his wife looking at him with a half-smiling expression: "You just said you were worried about our son's state of mind?"
Chen Hantang laughed dryly and was speechless.
Zhuang Jianhong continued to criticize her husband: "You have been our son's agent for nothing. You have been with him all day long, and you still don't know what kind of person he is? Does he care about that? Could his mentality be affected? So
I said you have nothing to do but are looking for trouble!"
This time, her husband firmly refuted her statement: "No, wife, it's not what you think. Our son is really careless most of the time. Even if he loses, he can quickly adjust his mentality. But this does not mean that he is careless.
Really don’t care about anything.”
Zhuang Jianhong teased her husband: "How do you know?"
Unexpectedly, her husband nodded and gave an affirmative answer with a serious expression: "I just know."
Zhuang Jianhong didn't expect that her husband suddenly became serious, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer the question.
Seeing that his wife was speechless, Chen Hantang said to her: "Do you still remember that after this season's Champions League final, we packed our bags with our son in Manchester and prepared to return to China?"
"Remember, what happened?"
"There was a detail at that time... I went to the door of his room to urge him, and I saw him staring blankly at the Champions League silver medal in his hand. In fact, after the game, we could feel that my son was not in a very high mood, right?
?”
Zhuang Jianhong nodded in agreement with her husband, because this emotion was very obvious and could be seen without careful observation.
"So I made fun of him to try to make him feel better. But he suddenly came up with a random sentence and asked me if it was not good to force myself..."
Zhuang Jianhong's eyes widened when he heard these words, and he exclaimed softly: "Ah this..."
Seeing the change in his wife's expression, Chen Hantang knew that she understood, so he pointed at her and said: "Look, you also see the problem, don't you? You think he doesn't care, but in fact he does! I'm just worried that he cares too much...
…”

"Oh, you had a lot of fun."
When Qin Lin stood at the door of Xia Xiaoyu and Qin Qi's room and said this with a smile.
The players in the room who were shouting just now suddenly quieted down and behaved well.
Hu Lai couldn't get rid of the four digits he was holding in his hand...
Seeing everyone's performance, Qin Lin waved his hands: "It's okay, you guys are just having fun, I'll find Chen Xingyi."
After saying that, everyone in the room turned their eyes to Chen Xingyi.
Chen Xingyi was a little confused, but he still put down the cards in his hand and followed Qin Lin out of the room.
After they left, everyone waited for a while and then got together to discuss:
"Why is Brother Lin looking for Little Star?"
"Will you criticize Brother Xing's performance?"
"I'm kidding, is there anything bad about little Xingxing's performance?"
"Maybe it's because he hasn't scored a goal yet?"
"That doesn't mean... Although Brother Xing didn't score a goal, he had three assists, which is the same as Xiaoyu."
Hu Lai turned to look at Qin Qi, who had remained silent: "Xiao Qi, do you know why your father is looking for Xiao Xingxing?"
Qin Qi was speechless: "Brother Hu, how could I know... He told me that in the national team, I am just his player, not his son. So he will not talk to me about things other than training games."
Hu Lai looked at the playing cards scattered on the bed, then looked at the four twos in his hand, and sighed: "It's a pity that I exploded!"

Qin Lin took Chen Xingyi to his room and then said, "Why didn't you ask me why I was looking for you on the way?"
Chen Xingyi smiled and said: "I think you will definitely tell me, Director Qin. I asked you on the way, but you may not be able to tell me."
Qin Lin nodded: "Well, that's right. But you can still keep your composure."
Chen Xingyi said: "Actually, I thought about it all the way and feel that my performance is not bad, so Director Qin, you definitely didn't come to me to scold me."
Qin Lin was very satisfied with Chen Xingyi's cleverness. He smiled and said, "I really didn't mean to scold you."
Chen Xingyi chuckled.
"I watched the video of your match against Madrid Kings in the second round of this season's semifinals again." Qin Lin said, "I want to hear what your experience and feelings were when you were defending Melli."
The left midfielder and left winger of the Chinese team widened his eyes slightly.
