On August 21, in the 25th round of the Chinese League One, Anton Flash Stars faced the Kunlun team from Xinzhou at home.

This game kicked off at 7:35 in the evening, which happened to be the prime time after dinner.

Anton TV Sports Channel will broadcast the event live.

When the game started, Xie Lan found that her husband was sitting on the sofa uncharacteristically.

But she didn't say anything to him this time, for fear that he would get away. Although her husband didn't say anything, his body was still sitting on the sofa, obviously preparing to watch the game.

This is a great improvement for the husband.

In this case, if you can avoid irritating him, try not to irritate him...

How could Xie Lan give up all his hard-earned achievements just for the sake of a quick talk?

So she sat next to her husband and watched the game with him.

After the game started, she was more nervous than her son.

She hopes that her son can impress her husband with his outstanding performance on the court and make him accept his son's decision to become a professional player.

What she is most worried about is that Hu Lai's poor performance will allow her husband to find reasons not to support his son in continuing to play football...

But it seems that the more you worry about something, the more it will happen.

Until the end of the game, Hu Lai failed to score a goal.

Although Shining Star defeated Xinzhou Kunlun 2-0 at home, Xie Lan felt that Hu Lai's performance was not good enough because his son did not score.

After the game, Xie Lan carefully looked at her husband and hesitated several times.

Seeing her like this, Hu Lixin snorted: "How is it? You know how difficult it is to score goals in the game, right?"

Faced with the facts and her husband's ridicule, Xie Lan was speechless.

"He didn't even take a few shots in this game. Most of the time he just kept running into space... Do you really think the ball is so easy to score?" Hu Lixin pursued the victory.

Xie Lan, who has watched so many games, has naturally understood the truth that "the ball is really not that easy to score". However, she was worried that her husband would use the topic as an excuse, so she retorted: "Although my son did not score, the commentator

Aren’t you also praising him?”

Her voice became smaller and smaller at the end, and she seemed to be a little less confident. After all, in her opinion, her son was a forward, and if the forward did not score a goal, his performance was not considered good...

But what she didn't expect was that her husband nodded in agreement with her: "Yes, although he didn't score a goal, his performance was actually not bad."

Xie Lan looked at her husband with wide eyes and asked uncertainly: "Are you saying something sarcastic?"

Hu Lixin was unhappy: "Am I that kind of yin and yang person?"

Xie Lan smiled: "Do you really think our son is doing quite well?"

"I just said that the performance was not bad, not that it was good." Hu Lixin saw through his wife's little thoughts and corrected him with a straight face.

"As a forward, his task in the game is not only to score goals. He needs to use his running position and threats to create opportunities for his teammates and attract the opponent's defensive attention. In this game, the Kunlun team's defenders were obviously more interested in him.

Don't worry, after all, he scored a hat trick in the last game. And when Kunlun's defensive focus shifted to him, the defensive pressure faced by other teammates was much less. So the forward foreign player and Qin Lin both had the opportunity to shoot and score."

Hu Lai said to his wife that it was rare for him to explain football knowledge to her so patiently.

"From this point of view, Hu Lai's performance is not bad. But if you want to say that the performance is good, then he must score a goal. Otherwise, if you look at the post-match score later, his score will definitely not be as good as scoring a goal.

Qin Lin and foreign players are high. As a forward, the weight of goals scored in the scoring system is very high."

Xie Lan turned to look at her husband who was talking eloquently. She didn't say anything, but listened carefully, like a primary school student attending a lecture.

"That's why I said before that you should not be happy too early. If Hu Lai scores a few goals, you will think that his future is bright. He was able to score goals before because the opponents were not familiar with him. They did not understand him and despised him.

, he was not regarded as the main target when defending, so he was given so many shooting opportunities. From this game, we can see what will happen to his performance if the opponent takes him seriously and studies him carefully.

Sample.

"He is a point-grabbing forward. Although his efficiency is higher than other forwards of this type, he is still a point-grabbing forward and needs the support of his teammates. Without this support, he will not be able to perform at his own level.

Come on. In this game, Xinzhou Kunlun's defense only did one thing to deal with Hu Lai, and the effect was very good, that is, when Hu Lai ran into the dangerous area, he was not allowed to easily receive the pass from his teammates, especially

When he is in the penalty area, try to keep his back to the goal so that he cannot shoot to create a threat.

"So when you see him running constantly during the game, sometimes running to the left, sometimes running to the right, don't think that he is running blindly. He is just looking for opportunities to catch the ball... It's just not until the end of the game.

, he couldn’t find it, so he didn’t score.”

After listening to her husband's tirade, Xie Lan asked with some worry: "What should we do? How about... just call Hu Lai and tell him these words..."

When Hu Lixin heard this, he waved his hands quickly: "Nervous... Do you think the head coach of Flash Star can't think of this? Besides, he is the coach of a team, not your son's coach alone. Hu Laijin

What does it matter if you don’t score? As long as other people can score and the team can win, doesn’t it matter?”

※※※

The team defeated Xinzhou Kunlun 2:0 at home and won. Qin Lin and Murphy also scored. However, on the second day of the game, when Zhao Kangming led the entire coaching staff to review the game,

The focus is still on the issue of reflection.

"Although we scored two goals, it does not mean that we have no problems in offense. On the contrary, we must pay attention to the problems we encounter in offense..." Zhao Kangming got straight to the point. As soon as the coaching staff meeting began, he said

He said directly. After speaking, he turned his attention to assistant coach Chen Mo.

Next, Chen Mo will analyze the problems in the offense in detail.

"Because of Hu Lai's hat trick in the previous round, he was very, very closely guarded by the opponent in this game. During the game, there was a defensive player in Xinzhou Kunlun who followed him completely. In addition, they were very

Focusing on cutting off the connection between the rest of us and Hu Lai. This resulted in our little offensive success in the first half..."

Through the projector, Chen Mo showed everyone a few clips of the defense Hu Lai encountered in yesterday's game.

This was edited overnight after the game yesterday.

Through video review, everyone can understand it at a glance.

In the first half of yesterday's game, as Hu Lai was contained by his opponent, Flash Star's offense encountered difficulties and did not play well.

In the second half, Zhao Kangming adjusted his tactics and no longer regarded Hu Lai as the main attacker. Instead, he used his running position to disrupt the opponent's defense and create offensive opportunities for his teammates.

The situation was immediately revived.

Qin Lin and Murphy also scored a goal each to help the team win.

It stands to reason that since the team has won and the adjusted tactics have worked, there shouldn't be any problems.

But Zhao Kangming doesn’t see it that way.

"Obviously, with more and more games, the way our midfield and frontcourt operate, especially the connection between Qin Lin and Hu Lai, has begun to be studied by opponents," he said.

Many people think that the main reason why the Stars improved their goal drought was the addition of Hu Lai.

In fact, the coaching staff knows very well that Hu Lai is of course the main reason, but at the same time there is another important reason that cannot be ignored, and that is Qin Lin, who joined Hu Lai together.

This 38-year-old veteran who seems to be unwanted by the Chinese Super League club is still very active in the Chinese League One. He has no problem playing in the Chinese League One at his own level.

As the core midfielder who has dominated the Chinese national team's midfield for more than ten years, Qin Lin is simply a dragon-slaying knife to the Flash Star midfielder.

The ability to quickly establish a tacit understanding between him and Hu Lai is the key to the Stars' ability to continuously score goals.

After all, a forward like Hu Lai needs his teammates to pass the ball to him. Otherwise, if he runs to his position, but his teammates fail to see it and pass the football to him, his wonderful movement will be equal to zero.

After more than a month of training and observation, it is no exaggeration to say that the only midfielder in the Flash Star team who can cooperate with Hu Lai is Qin Lin.

Even Waters can only do it occasionally.

But the problem also lies with Qin Lin.

Because of Qin Lin's outstanding abilities, Flash Star relied too much on Qin Lin's offensive organization in the midfield, especially on the connection between Qin Lin and Hu Lai.

Hu Lai is an excellent receiver, but Qin Lin is not a particularly outstanding passer who can send a fatal pass.

It's true that he is a midfield commander, but he is better at controlling the rhythm and scheduling offense and defense, rather than delivering scalpel-like passes at the front of the opponent's penalty area - he can also do this kind of thing, but he can't be particularly top-notch.

Compared with the scheduling work that he is better at, it is worse.

Whether he is in the Chinese national team or the Lingnan South China Tigers, he plays the most and his best position is in the deeper midfielder position.

Flashing Star had no choice but to let Qin Lin make a guest appearance as there was no more suitable candidate.

Chen Mo suddenly thought of something. He looked up at Zhao Kangming, but did not speak.

Zhao Kangming continued: "Of course, this problem is not something we can solve now. Hu Lai also has problems. His playing characteristics are single and he is easily restricted by the opponent. Xinzhou Kunlun keeps Hu Lai away from the goal area and makes him unable to

Turning around, it stopped Hu Lai's goal very well... Next, we need to strengthen Hu Lai's ability to pick up the ball with his back in training."

Physical fitness coach Sun Yi said: "Hulai needs to continue to strengthen his physical confrontation ability. According to the standards of professional players, his confrontation ability is still a bit poor. If he does not improve his physical confrontation, he will not be able to improve his back-up ability.

The ability to get the ball."

Zhao Kangming nodded and agreed.

"But it's not so easy to increase strength and it's so quick..." Chen Mo raised a question, "This can't solve our problem in the short term."

Zhao Kangming shook his head: "There is nothing we can do. We can't stop him from practicing strength because of this. And the situation in Kunlun, Xinzhou is special after all. Who is Hu Lai? That guy just scored a hat trick in the last game? Suddenly

It has become the target of public criticism. And the trump card program of Anton TV is also adding fuel to the flames..."

Fitness coach Sun Yi suddenly thought of something: "Hey, this program has really raised everyone's expectations for Hu Lai. As a result, he didn't score in this game. Will Hu Lai feel a lot of pressure?"

Hearing what he said, Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo looked at each other, and then Chen Mo shook his head: "No, that guy is thick-skinned, and other people's expectations or opinions of him cannot affect him at all."
