Fox in the Penalty Area

As soon as Hu Lai entered his hotel room, he saw Wang Guangwei inside, and he laughed: "I asked Team Leader Hong who I shared a room with, and he was still playing tricks...I knew it was you! When will you, old Wang? Arrived?"

"I just arrived too, so I just finished packing my things." Wang Guangwei said while helping Hu Lai take his box.

"Oh, thank you very much." Hu Lai followed into the room while thanking her.

Then he started packing his things.

In fact, there is nothing to clean up. He is not like Xia Xiaoyu, who has to bring his own sheets, quilt covers and pillows when he goes to a hotel...

He didn't even bring his own toiletries like Lao Wang did. He used the hotel's everything, and brought as little as he could.

"You came back with Brother Huan, and Lasky?" Wang Guangwei watched from the side, and chatted with Hu Lai without his help.

"Yeah, and Laski." Hu Lai couldn't help laughing when he thought of the scene they met at the airport.

"What are you laughing at?" Wang Guangwei asked curiously.

Hu Lai covered her mouth: "I didn't laugh."

"No, you obviously smiled." Wang Guangwei pointed to Hu Lai's smiling eyes.

"You read it wrong." Hu Lai waved his other hand, as if fanning his face.

But the more he denied it, the more curious Wang Guangwei became. The word "treacherous" was almost written on this kid's face. How could Wang Guangwei pretend that nothing had happened?

"No, Hu Lai, you must make it clear today, did something happen on your way?"

Hu Lai put on a serious face and said solemnly: "Oh, Lao Wang, don't ask, I'm doing it for your own good, really."

"For my own good?" Wang Guangwei was at a loss.

"Yeah, for your own good. Sometimes, the more you know, the more painful it is."

"???"

"I'm in pain right now." Hu Lai's face was full of pain.

"You are miserable!"

Wang Guangwei went up to grab Hu Lai's neck, but Hu Lai blocked it with his hands, and the two became entangled.

At this moment, two people appeared at the door, they were Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Xingyi.

"Eh? Eh? Eh?! Eh——!! What are you two doing in broad daylight!" Chen Xingyi saw that Wang Guangwei and Hu Lai were hugging each other, and while covering his eyes, he shouted exaggeratedly, Wish the whole floor could hear it.

Xia Xiaoyu also smiled: "Sorry to bother you..."

Wang Guangwei let go of Hu Lai: "Hu Lai is playing cheap again."

"When is he not playing cheap?" Chen Xingyi asked back, and the two walked in.

"You two live in the same room?" Hu Lai asked the two people who came in.

Xia Xiaoyu nodded.

Hu Lai glanced at Wang Guangwei: "Then why do I always live in the same room with Lao Wang? I thought it was a fixed match..."

Wang Guangwei sneered: "You didn't find it strange until now?"

Hu Lai covered his arms in front of his chest: "Old Wang, let me tell you, I'm not interested in men!"

"roll!"

The young man laughed and made a fuss, Zhang Qinghuan and Luo Kai also came.

When they walked in, Hu Lai first cast his eyes on Luo Kai and took a deep look.

This glance was noticed by Luo Kai, who frowned slightly and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Hu Lai didn't answer him, but turned to Zhang Qinghuan, pointed at Luo Kai and asked, "Brother Huan, are you sharing a room with him?"

Zhang Qinghuan shook his head: "No, he and Zhou Zijing share the same room."

"What about Elbow Man?" Hu Lai asked.

"Hu Lai, your accent is so weird..." Wang Guangwei complained.

"No wonder, this is a new nickname I gave him, what do you think? The elbow can talk, he has become a master!"

"Fuck..."

"Team leader Hong called him away, saying that the head coach was looking for him." Luo Kai replied, ignoring Hu Lai who was playing tricks.

This answer surprised all the young people in the room, except Zhang Qinghuan - he knew it when he called Luo Kai.

"Why is Dillon looking for Zhou Zijing?" Wang Guangwei frowned and thought.

"When the new head coach takes office, he will call people one by one to understand the situation.

"Chen Xingyi gave his answer.

"Then have you been called away?" Wang Guangwei asked Chen Xingyi, he was the first to come back among the few of their overseas players.

Chen Xingyi shook his head: "No..."

"Has anyone else in our team been called to talk?" Wang Guangwei asked everyone.

Everyone shook their heads.

"Then why is Zhou Zijing alone?"

Hu Lai raised his hand: "I'm guessing... Could it be to call the elbow to criticize: You see Xiaoyu has gone abroad, how long do you want to continue to hang around in China!"

The others didn't speak, but raised their middle fingers to Hu Lai at the same time.

"Do you want to go abroad to play football?"

In the head coach's office, Jorge Dillon watched Zhou Zijing, and the translator Yu Jintao next to him translated the sentence to the other party.

Zhou Zijing nodded without hesitation: "I think so!"

"Well, indeed, no one would not want to go out to play football." Dillon nodded after listening to Yu Jintao's translation, "If you want to go abroad to play football, then I have some suggestions..."

Zhou Zijing hurriedly pretended to be listening attentively to show respect.

"I heard that you are doing physical strength training in the club?" Dillon looked at Zhou Zijing, who was obviously strong. He was wearing a fashionable flight leather jacket, and his muscles were stretched.

"Yes, coach. After the Asian Cup, I feel that I still have a lot of shortcomings, especially in the last game against Iran. Their players are physically strong and have strong confrontation capabilities...so I made a plan for myself when I went back. A training plan for strengthening strength..." Zhou Zijing spoke out his thoughts in detail.

"It's not bad for you to be self-motivated. But I don't recommend that you just strengthen your body. Your body is strong enough now." Dillon pointed to Zhou Zijing, then spread his hands and shrugged. "Do you know what your strengths are, Zhou?"

"Body?" Zhou Zijing tried to guess.

"No. With such a strong body, you can still have good foot skills. I watched the video of you playing football in high school. At that time, your body was not as strong as it is now, but your foot skills are better. Yes It is a very comprehensive player. But since you came to a professional team, you have gradually developed towards a bodybuilder... Of course it is true, after all, the physical requirements of professional football and student football are two concepts.”

After Jin Tao finished translating such a long passage, Dillon continued:

"But while strengthening your own strength, I hope you don't completely abandon your technical advantages. Combining your body and technology is your advantage. You can't really make yourself into that kind of 'look', After all, a football game is not a bodybuilding game, just being physically strong is not enough. Being too strong will affect your flexibility, coordination, and make your technique go backwards... What is the use of a player who can only be a concrete pillar in the penalty area?"

Zhou Zijing did not expect that the new coach of the national team came to him to talk about this matter.

He always thought that it was a good thing for him to take the initiative to increase his strength and make him stronger. After the coach of the national team knows this, he will definitely praise himself, and maybe he will look at him with admiration. I may have more hope for my days in the national team...

As a result, I didn't expect that what was waiting was the head coach's tactful criticism.

"You are a center forward, Zhou. What I need is not the kind of center forward who relies on his body to grab the header in the penalty area. I have higher requirements and needs for you. You don't meet me without the skills at your feet. Required. If you want to play football abroad, you should also keep this in mind. No matter how hard you practice, it will be difficult for you to really fight against those muscular monsters. But if you have both body and technology, you can start from Standing out from the fierce competition - a strong man with a height of 1.88 meters and a weight of about 85 kilograms, but with exquisite foot skills, do you know how terrifying such a center is?"

Zhou Zijing didn't answer the head coach's question, he just stood there blankly, he didn't know what to do, all he saw was a giant bear dancing in the restricted area...

He admitted that he was overwhelmed by the sight.

Dillon didn't care about Zhou Zijing's silence, he continued: "Do you know what impressed me the most about your performance in the Asian Cup?"

Zhou Zijing shook his head.

"It was the goal you assisted Hu Lai in the game against the Japanese team. At that time, you transformed the catch and turn into an action, which reflected your good technical foundation and excellent sense of the ball. It is precisely because of you Stopping and turning saved time and made this attack finally complete. You see how great a center forward with excellent foot skills can play on the court..."

Zhou Zijing did not expect that the head coach Dillon would remember this detail - he himself forgot.

"Your performance in Hu Lai's goal is what I want you to be: comprehensive skills, strong body, able to hold the ball in the frontcourt, can score goals by yourself when you have the opportunity, and use your teammates when the opportunity is good. The football is passed...it is like a huge iron nail in the front field, firmly nailed to the position, and then...with a radius of fifteen meters, it is all within your coverage!"

Dillon opened his hands and gestured.

Zhou Zijing felt his heart beating faster, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his back. He was inexplicably burned by the words relayed by the translator Yu Jintao.

Seeing Zhou Zijing's reaction, Dillon knew that he was talking about the young man's heart, so he smiled slightly: "So next, I suggest you add yoga training to yourself to exercise your body's flexibility and flexibility."

Zhou Zijing nodded without any objection.

"I will work hard, Mr. Dillon!" Zhou Zijing's address changed in excitement.

Although this is his first contact with Jorge Dillon, at most he was an opponent in the league before, but it is impossible for him as a player to have any contact with the enemy coach.

This first contact, Dillon said he was convinced.

He really deserves to be a world-renowned marshal!

He was full of fighting spirit in his heart, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with running to practice yoga like a big man, and he even wished that he could start yoga training immediately tonight...

"Well, remember, you are very important in my tactics." Dillon emphasized again.

"Go back now, and call Xia Xiaoyu for me."
