Fox in the Penalty Area

After finishing the training in the morning, Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei took a shower and changed in the locker room, and went to the cafeteria of the base together for dinner.

Because there is no training session in the afternoon, some players will not choose to stay at the base for dinner, but drive away. They have a lot of time to arrange in the afternoon, so naturally they will not waste time in the training base.

In fact, regarding the training time, in the past, if Shan Xing practiced once a day, he would arrange the training in the afternoon. On the one hand, it is naturally because most of the games are in the afternoon, and training in the afternoon will help the players adapt to the afternoon games. On the other hand, because of the tradition, everyone is used to training in the afternoon.

But after Zhao Kangming came, he adjusted the training time from one practice a day to morning training.

Because he found that when training in the afternoon, the players will involuntarily indulge themselves when they think that they don’t have to get up early to go to training the next morning. The night life is rich and colorful, and they don’t go to bed until midnight. Not eating breakfast for a long time will also lead to lack of sleep and lethargy. If things go on like this, the body will collapse first.

After all, football is a sport. Why play when your body is broken?

Zhao Kangming's adjustment was initially unaccustomed to the Flash Star players, and they even resisted it a bit. But now everyone is used to it, and it feels good.

The advantage of training in the morning is that once a day is practiced, the morning training is over, and there is enough time in the afternoon and evening for the players to socialize, entertain and relax, and spend time with their families, etc. Unlike the previous afternoon training, the morning and evening were separated. As a result, players can only relax at night, and the time is tight, so they will do everything possible to play for a while, and play until the middle of the night. Now a full afternoon, plus a full night, there is no need for players to continue playing late into the night.

Besides, when they think of training in the morning, many players dare not play too indulgently. They always have to rest early to avoid not getting up the next morning and being late for training-not every Chinese professional player is undisciplined. A negative example of lack of self-control, a reasonable and appropriate system can greatly increase the cost of their self-degradation, thereby ensuring their professionalism.

Now the players of Flash Star's first team are used to this training arrangement, and the training effect is much better than the previous afternoon training.

On the way from the locker room to the cafeteria, Wang Guangwei kept looking at Hu Lai, so that Hu Lai was very strange: "Did I unzip my pants?"

Wang Guangwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Are your pants zippered on your face? I'm just a little surprised..."

"Surprised at what?"

"Your growth rate is astonishingly fast." Wang Guangwei shook his head and said. "When we were both in the final of the Anton Cup,

You want to score a goal but you talk it out and you end up racking your brains to get yourself a shot. And today on the training ground, whether you are running to meet or shoot, you seem to be at ease... During training, I can't help but think, it's only been more than two years since you started playing football, right? It's been less than three years, and in the end, your growth rate is as fast as if you turned on the accelerator..."

Hu Lai showed a surprised expression when he heard the words: "Damn it? How do you know that I cheated?!"

Wang Guangwei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and punched Hu Lai: "Go to hell! The acting is pretty good!"

Hu Lai sighed in his heart, look, no one would believe me when I told the truth... they thought I was acting instead. Alas, why is it so difficult to be an honest person these days?

He raised his head slightly, and said with a righteous face: "Maybe it's just because I work harder than everyone else!"

On the contrary, Wang Guangwei didn't feel that Hu Lai was bragging or pretending to be aggressive. He nodded seriously: "You must work harder than others to achieve the performance on the training ground today. Did you notice that, everyone The way I looked at you when I was talking to you..."

"What's wrong?" Hu Lai asked curiously.

"I can't say it, but I feel that many people seem to have a better attitude towards you... The locker room is actually a place where strength speaks. If you have strength, you will naturally be welcomed and respected by everyone." Wang Guangwei seemed afraid of Hu Lai If you have any other ideas, explain to Hu Lai very seriously. "When I went to the first team training for the first time, I felt that every teammate there seemed to look at me with scrutiny. I thought they all looked down on me. Later I realized that they just didn't know me and were curious about me. You will look at me that much...so don't take everyone's eyes seriously..."

"Ah? Is there?" Hu Lai looked confused, as if he didn't feel any change in the way his teammates looked at him.

Wang Guangwei saw with his own eyes that Lai Zekai looked at Hu Lai differently, but seeing Hu Lai's ignorant look, he decided not to mention it.

"Maybe I'm overthinking, ha!" Wang Guangwei laughed at himself.

"Old Wang, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful... No wonder I ran to cut your haircut because I messed up your hairstyle..."

"Tsk, don't mention the hairstyle!"

"Look at you, you still care so much... If you want to learn from me, you have no face and no skin! You are a wolf!"

"I can't learn how you scold yourself..." Wang Guangwei was speechless.

Hu Lai laughed out loud, as if he heard high praise for him.

They walked to the restaurant, took their meals and sat at a table with Han Xiangfei, Han Di, Zhang Xiaolei, Yu Zhiming, Ma Wenyi, Leng Jinyu, and Tang Xin to eat.

During the meal, Zhang Xiaolei, who was in charge of defending Hu Lai during training, was still struggling with the loss of the ball. He asked Hu Lai: "You suddenly stopped running, did you plan to shoot near the penalty spot at that time? gone?"

Hu Lai nodded: "Well, I saw Murphy and Brother Leng..." At this point, he glanced at Leng Jinyu, and continued: "...pressing your defense line to the door, I feel You can consider the space in the restricted area. But I didn't expect it to be so smooth. I still have to say that Lin Ge is old-fashioned. He also saw my intentions at the time, so he resolutely moved forward and stood up to Brother Xiaolei. In front of you, so that you can't come to defend me, I have an open shot."

After hearing Hu Lai analyze his idea of ​​scoring goals, the people at the table looked at each other, then Zhang Xiaolei shook his head and sighed: "Brother Lin can see it because he has rich experience. Hu Lai, you can have such a clear idea, in young players Really rare in…”

The main goalkeeper Yu Zhiming also nodded and said: "When Xiao Wang told you about the high school game between him and you, I still didn't quite believe it. Now it seems that you are indeed a genius. No wonder you make Xiao Wang so embarrassed... ..."

Hu Lai scratched his head with a shy look on his face.

Wang Guangwei, who was brought up again, looked at him like this, and thought of what Hu Lai said to him outside just now.

Where is this "faceless and skinless" look? !

"Old Zhao, are you satisfied with Hu Lai's performance in today's training?" As soon as he walked into the head coach's office, Chen Mo couldn't wait to ask Zhao Kangming.

Zhao Kangming nodded with a smile: "The effect is very good. Have you noticed the reaction of those players? After Hu Lai scored a goal, many people applauded him."

"Then let him start to replace Lai Zekai in the next game?" Chen Mo asked.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Kangming shook his head: "No, Lai Zekai is still the starter."

"Eh?"

"Letting Hu Lai start now is too risky and too much pressure. If he doesn't perform as expected, or just doesn't score, it will make him bear a huge burden that he doesn't need to carry. I plan to Let him play as a substitute first, depending on the situation, if our offense still does not improve, let him play." Zhao Kangming said.

Chen Mo frowned and thought for a while, and also felt that Lao Zhao's decision was correct: "That's right, young people shouldn't put too much pressure on them. If you can let the old players carry it first, let them carry it first."

Xie Lan entered "China League One schedule" in the browser of the mobile phone, and soon the information about the current round of the 2022 China Football League A league popped up.

She swiped the screen and found the name of Du Anton Flashing Star in a bunch of match lists, and found that Flashing Star's game time was 3:30 pm this Sunday.

This means that if she takes the train to Jincheng to see her son early on Sunday morning, she can still have lunch with him, and then go shopping with him, and she will have time to go back after dinner at night.

The Dongchuan and Jincheng high-speed rails are only 35 minutes away by car, and all shifts are operated by public transportation, which is very convenient.

Why choose game day to visit your son?

Because she felt that the team didn't need to train on the match day, and her son had time, and she had time too, so that she could make up for it. Otherwise, my son has to train and I have to go to work. How can I be free?

Originally, she wanted to go to Hu Lai last weekend, but because of the temporary overtime at work, she couldn't make it.

Hu Lai has been back to Anton from Lingnan for a week and a half, and she, a mother, hasn't visited yet. In the past, her son was in Lingnan, and it was not easy to go there. She could only see him through video chat.

Now that my son has returned to Jincheng, I have to visit him no matter what.

I haven't seen him for a year and a half, and Xie Lan doesn't want to wait for one more day.

After finding the date, she quickly went to the booking website to buy a round-trip ticket from Dongchuan to Jincheng.

After paying, she raised her head and said to her husband who was sitting on the sofa swiping his phone, "You can eat at home this Sunday."

Hu Lixin asked: "Are you going out?"

"Well, go see my son. Anyway, if you don't go, I'll go by myself." Xie Lan snorted.

As soon as his wife mentioned his son, Hu Lixin frowned, but in the past year and a half, because of Hu Lai, the couple had quarreled a lot, and they knew each other's positions very well, so Hu Lixin just frowned and said nothing. Say, unless he wants to be driven to sleep on the sofa by his wife tonight...

Xie Lan didn't care whether her husband was happy or not, she was very happy anyway, and was looking forward to the scene when she saw her son—in order to surprise her son, she hadn't told him so far.

She began to think about seeing her son again after a year and a half, and she wanted to bring him something. Her son's favorite Red Fuji must be arranged. In addition, she also plans to take the national competition trophies and medals that her son failed to take away, and put them next to her son, encouraging him to work hard and realize his dream as soon as possible.

At this moment, she received a message from her son on WeChat on her mobile phone:

"Mom, good news! I've been selected for the team's squad for the next game! This Saturday I will go away with the team!"

Xie Lan froze holding the phone.

After a while, she applied for a refund in the ticket booking app and said to Hu Lixin, "Well, what do you want to eat on Sunday? I'll go to the vegetable market to buy it."

"Aren't you going out?" Hu Lixin was very surprised.

"not going."

"Hey, the sun is coming out from the west? Aren't you clamoring every day to find your son? Why don't you go?" Hu Lixin was a little eccentric, and used words to insult his wife.

But Xie Lan didn't mean to argue with him at all. Instead, he said with a smile: "Because our son has been selected into the squad for the competition, and he is going to play an away game!"

This time it was Hu Lixin's turn to be stunned.

"How about it, old Hu? The blue is better than the blue, and your son is better than you. How long has it been since he went to the flash star, and he is about to play his first professional game!" Xie Lan retorted at her husband's previous yin and yang.

Hu Lixin snorted: "It's just the big list for the competition, and it doesn't mean they will appear on the field!"

"That's also a good start!" Xie Lan danced and danced. "I get it first, and then into the starting list!"

You know the hammer... How can it be so easy to play and start?

Hu Lixin said in his heart, but he still didn't dare to say it out of his mouth.

Xie Lan ignored her depressed husband and replied on WeChat: "Congratulations son! When is the [Qiang] competition? Mom will watch live TV when the time comes, cheers for you!"
