He started two games in seven days and came on the bench for one game each, scoring 4 goals.
Hao Qiang seems to have had a dream start in Lille.
But France's L'Equipe simply described his performance as "lucky boy".
It was as if he didn't kick the ball actively, but the ball hit him and bounced into the goal.
Just when he was preparing to welcome the new French Ligue 1 season with high spirits, thinking that he should be able to at least be included in the game squad as a substitute, Rudy Garcia gave him a sudden shock during the pre-match preparation meeting on Saturday afternoon.
18-man tournament squad.
Without him.
Hao Qiang was surprised at first, then puzzled.
The confusion he showed fell into the eyes of his teammates around him, and those forwards who were still angry a few days ago laughed it off.
Do you really think that you can compete in Ligue 1 after scoring a few goals in the Europa League qualifying rounds?
As expected, he is still very naive.
On the night of the match day, Hao Qiang did not go to watch the game.
He stayed in the hotel and shuttled between the gym and the swimming pool. After he finished his workout and had a spa session and returned to his room, he turned on the TV to watch the post-game news.
The sports station on TV was showing the French Ligue 1 match results, which made him frown slightly.
Lille 1:2 Lorient!
Suffered a defeat at home in the opening game.
Before going to bed, Hao Qiang used his mobile phone to look through the detailed battle reports of the game.
It’s useless!
Vitek was replaced in less than 60 minutes, and Melo, who came on as a substitute, failed to make any achievements.
Lille's goal came from an own goal scored by the opponent in the melee!
Hao Qiang fell asleep peacefully.
...
The defeat in the first game made the training atmosphere within the team slightly depressing.
The media criticized Lille's performance, and everyone from the coach to the players were fired upon.
The player was also criticized by Rudy Garcia.
Of course I can't be happy.
Hao Qiang is like a stranger who is staying out of the situation, focusing on training.
Hope to be able to enter the competition squad in the second round.
But he was still disappointed.
Rudy Garcia still has no intention of giving him a chance in the most important league battlefield.
In fact, in the center position, if Hao Qiang wants to enter the game roster, he has to squeeze out Melo or Vitek.
Because in the list of seven substitutes, it is impossible to bring two centers as substitutes.
The substitute goalkeeper must be accompanied by at least two defenders, one center back and one full-back.
There are at least two midfielders, a defensive midfielder or a central midfielder, plus a wide midfielder when changing tactics.
There are only three people on the front line at most, but it must be the center and one winger each.
Lille's first team has 31 players.
Only 18 people can register for the competition.
Therefore, while Hao Qiang was not included in the squad, there were actually 12 teammates who could only serve as spectators.
Hao Qiang once again used training to pass the time on game days.
His hunger for the game continues to grow.
But there is nothing he can do if the head coach doesn't use him.
In the second round of the French Ligue 1, Lille is a guest to challenge Marseille.
After the 90-minute game, Rudy Garcia left the field expressionlessly.
Lille lost 0:1 away to Marseille.
Two consecutive kneels at the start of the new season!
The French media escalated their firepower and targeted Lille.
The team's morale has dropped significantly.
The front line is almost the same as in the last game.
Whittaker started, but it was useless.
Melo came on as a substitute, but it was useless.
Hao Qiang, who stayed out of the situation, patiently waited for the opportunity.
Against the backdrop of a poor start to the league, Lille is still distracted by the European war.
In the fourth qualifying round of the Europa League, Lille drew the Belgian team Genk.
If they can eliminate their opponents and advance, the team will advance to the Europa League. Although the income from the group stage is not much, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat.
Besides, the team also needs to train troops, so it will not be a burden to open up an extra front that can be abandoned at any time.
Hao Qiang was finally included in the squad for the guest game against Genk.
It’s unclear whether he will be a starter or a substitute, but he is prepared and ready to go all out.
August 20, Kristol Arena.
Hao Qiang sat on the bench, and Melo started at center.
With Vitek staying in his hometown to recuperate, he will most likely still have to rely on him to play in the league.
Lille has a mixed lineup of main players and substitutes today.
Goalkeeper: Butler.
Defenders: Debuchy, Rami, Cheroux, Beria.
Midfielder: Balmonte, Mavuba, Dumont.
Forwards: Gervinho, Melo, Hazard.
After the game started, Genk entered a state of resistance.
Lille picked up the pace and wanted to play a blitzkrieg for a quick victory, but they encountered Genk's stubborn resistance.
Hazard and Gervinho flew together on both wings, rushing from the left to the right.
But fighting back and forth could only create danger, but failed to end the opponent.
Hao Qiang looked helpless when he saw Melo on the court.
Originally, the effect of Rudy Garcia's ideal tactics should be that wingers Hazard and Gervinho use their personal abilities or the support of their midfield and backfield teammates to tear apart the opponent's defense from the wing.
After finding the opening and space, he passed the ball to find Melo in the middle to complete the shot.
This is also a very common tactic.
But both of them have a lot of work at their feet, and sometimes they can indeed tear apart the opponent's defense, but the opportunity is definitely fleeting.
The key moment was that he didn't choose to pass the ball. He wanted to dribble by himself and find an opportunity to shoot by himself.
The ambition is not small.
Solve the battle on your own.
However, Genk was not a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He repeatedly destroyed the two's shots or intercepted the ball directly.
Melo waited lonely in the middle.
Lille's offense fell into this cycle that everyone could predict.
Although Hazard had made appearances in Ligue 1 last season, he actually became the main player last season.
He became famous and his opponents began to take him seriously.
Now as one of the hottest new stars in European football, even an unfamiliar opponent will not turn a blind eye to him.
Gervinho is not as well-known as Hazard, but he has more practical experience. He made his debut in the Belgian league at the age of 16 and has been a main force all the way. He has also played for Le Mans in Ligue 1 for the past two years and has also made his mark.
After coming to Lille, the media placed high hopes on him. If Lille has any shortcomings in the forward line, it must be the center position.
If they have a strong center forward, their striker profile is no worse than any other team in Ligue 1 and has huge potential.
But theory is still theory.
Ligue 1's two-game losing streak at the start of the season clearly illustrates the problem. In actual combat, they fought independently and did not form a good team chemistry.
The audience may think that these two people are lone wolves.
But as a member of the team, Hao Qiang can vaguely feel the underlying reason: Du is a bit lonely, but at the same time, they don't trust the center.
Whether it is Melo, Vitek, Hao Qiang, or anyone else who can serve as a center forward, they currently cannot win the trust of their teammates.
Instead of giving opportunities to useless centers, why not do it yourself?
After all, their talents are not developed in the direction of tool people.
Genk withstood the beating for more than half an hour and began to invest more troops in the counterattack.
Before the end of the first half, Genk's quick counterattack took away Lille's defense and took the lead!
Rudy Garcia's face turned cold.
When he returned to the locker room after half-time, Garcia directly criticized the two wingers by name, demanding that they must carry forward team spirit in the second half and stop playing their own games.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Although Lille's overall teamwork shows signs of improvement, at least teammates can pass the ball more often.
But Genk, who were leading the score, further strengthened their defense!
As a result, Lille was never able to create a good chance to score.
Seeing that the game was approaching 70 minutes, Garcia ran out of patience.
He asked Hao Qiang to warm up.
After 2 minutes, Lille made a substitution.
Melo came off the field full of resentment, but Hao Qiang was not disturbed by the opponent's emotions and rushed straight into the field after the substitution.
Seeing Hao Qiang on the stage, Hazard and Gervinho both looked helpless.
Most of the other teammates were confused as to what the head coach meant.
A group of main players lead a newbie?
They always felt that this was an adjustment made by Garcia who had no expectations for the game and was frustrated.
So Hazard and Gervinho returned to their old ways and started working alone again, completely ignoring Hao Qiang.
Hao Qiang saw that the two of them were cutting in from the wing but failed to create a threat, and he was very angry.
Although he is only 19 years old, his experience is not as rich as these two.
But he just felt that these two people were very ignorant!
Can't see the score behind?
Doesn't it matter if you lose the game?
On the scene, Lille had a slight advantage, and the large force overwhelmed the half.
Hao Qiang can also close the distance with his midfield teammates while actively fighting to form a short passing connection point.
Hazard and Gervinho were obviously slack in defense and could not compare with his enthusiasm and running frequency.
In this situation, Hao Qiang knew that he could only rely on himself, and at the same time, he also had to fight and rob!
We must strive to equalize or even overtake the score.
We must also seize the main position!
He made a prompt decision and entered the system with his eyes closed.
Open the warehouse and take out Henry directly.
use!
Exit the system and open your eyes.
Hao Qiang's face was as dark as water, but his eyes were sharp and fierce.
