Times have changed.

I don't know why, but when Guan Xinyan saw this scene in front of him, this sentence popped into his mind.

The restaurant in the Shanhai Football Association Feiyu Football Training Base is very spacious and can accommodate more than two hundred people dining at the same time.

Except for the four large round tables that can accommodate ten people at the four corners of the restaurant, the other locations are booths for four to six people.

It's such a big restaurant, you can sit anywhere you want.

If you don't fit in with others, you can sit in the four-person booth in the corner.

If you have a good relationship, you can stay in groups of three or five, and you can also sit in a six-person booth to avoid contact with other people.

But now in Guan Xinyan's eyes, in the huge restaurant, only that small area is the most lively, and everyone is concentrated around those booths.

In the middle of these positions is a booth for six people.

There were seven people sitting on it: Hu Lai, Wang Guangwei, Chen Xingyi, Guo Junfu, Wang Zijian, Sun Gang and Gao Ruimin.

He counted correctly, there were seven people sitting in the six-person booth.

Even Luo Kai and Liu Jinge were sitting a table away from this booth.

Although everyone sits casually when eating, it is very meaningful to be so concentrated around a table.

I think he was also such a popular figure in the team...

But now that he has returned to the Olympic team after only missing the East Asian Cup once, he actually feels like "things have changed and people have changed."

Many things have changed.

Hu Lai had just finished telling everyone about the set-piece tactics prepared by Flash Star for the Poseidon team, which made everyone dumbfounded. Another participant in that game, center back Liu Yan, opened his eyes wide and shouted: "You kid still has such a

How many tricks did you use?!"

Then everyone present burst into laughter.

Guo Junfu patted Liu Yan on the shoulder and laughed and said: "Old Liu, you did not lose unfairly, really, you did not lose unfairly!"

Wang Zijian said: "Liu Yan, you think so. Next time you meet, Flashing Star's set-piece tactics will be useless against you..."

Liu Yan was stunned for a moment and seemed to be really considering this matter seriously.

Chen Xingyi, who was standing next to him, said, "Isn't that right, Brother Liu? Have you really thought about it? I advise you not to do this. Who knows what bad things Hu Lai will do next!"

"Oh, little star, where are you on the end?"

"Hahahahaha!"

The restaurant was full of laughter and laughter.

Guan Xinyan couldn't laugh at all when he saw this scene.

Guo Junfu, Liu Yan and him, originally known as the "Three Sons of the National Youth Team", are the three most outstanding people in the National Youth Team, and they form a central axis.

In the past, he should have been sitting in the middle, chatting and laughing with Guo Junfu and Liu Yan while the other players looked up.

And now...

"Xinyan, should we go there too?" Xiao Xiao, who was holding a dinner plate next to him, reminded him.

Guan Xinyan came to his senses and shook his head: "No, we will eat here and go back to the room after eating."

After saying that, he placed the dinner plate on the ten-person table next to him.

"Oh...ok." Xiao Xiao also sat next to him.

Two people occupying a table for ten people is a bit conspicuous.

Someone noticed this situation, but they didn't say anything. They just looked at it for a few times and then looked away.

Guo Junfu hesitated to speak, but finally held back.

When signing in, he had already reminded Guan Xinyan tactfully, but the latter seemed to be unable to save his face for a while.

I hope he can slowly figure this out...

Times have really changed.

※※※

On the training ground on the second day, the players of the Olympic team saw their head coach Shi Wuyin and assistant coach Li Zhifei.

The coaching staff of the Olympic team also met the new Olympic team players.

"Because our team has players who have been selected for the first time, I will introduce myself again. My name is Shi Wuyin, and I am your head coach. I will lead you to participate in the U23 Asian Cup in January next year.

It’s the Olympic qualifiers.” Shi Wuyin, standing in front of the team, was wearing a smart sportswear, with a football under his feet, his hands on his hips, his movements were spirited, and his words were spirited. “And the next three warm-ups.

The games will be our three most important warm-up games before the U23 Asian Cup, so I hope everyone can cheer up and perform hard to prove that you are capable of participating in the U23 Asian Cup!"

After every player heard what Director Shi said, they couldn't help but puff up their chests, fearing that their performance was not good enough, that they would not catch Director Shi's attention, and that they would not be able to participate in the U23 Asian Cup.

Especially those players who have not participated in the East Asian Cup before, they lack an opportunity to prove themselves.

After he introduced himself, it was assistant coach Li Zhifei's turn to introduce himself: "I am your assistant coach Li Zhifei. I am a coach with very strict discipline requirements, so I hope everyone must listen to my instructions during training.

, definitely don’t take my words seriously. Because we have a very arduous task to complete in a limited time. Starting from today, the team’s offensive tactics will be a little different from what you are familiar with before..."

Guo Junfu didn't seem surprised when he heard what the assistant coach said. He glanced at Guan Xinyan.

The latter didn't seem to hear anything from these words. He was like a wooden man and had no reaction to Coach Li's words.

Guo Junfu sighed in his heart.

"...We don't have much time. We must fully master the new offensive tactics before next year's U23 Asian Cup! And this three warm-up games are a test of your training results. Don't think that time is short, be careful about the results.

It doesn’t matter. Let me tell you, time is short and time is short. Each of you must go all out during this time, do you hear me!”

Li Zhifei asked loudly.

All the Olympic team players also responded loudly: "I heard it!!"

"Very good, now let's warm up!"

※※※

After the formal training began, everyone soon knew what the so-called "new offensive tactics" meant.

In the past, the National Olympic team mainly used the 4-4-2 formation, even in the East Asian Cup.

But this time, the Olympic team had to change to 433, and Hu Lai was placed at the center position.

Next is the tactical arrangement around how he attacks.

In this regard, Shi Wuyin and Li Zhifei do not have fixed candidates. They are constantly making permutations and combinations during training.

So everyone understood that, to put it bluntly, this set of offensive tactics is fixed except for Hu Lai, and the rest are not fixed.

However, almost no one thinks there is anything wrong with this, let alone feel jealous of Hu Lai.

Because everyone can see Hu Lai's strength, who would dare to say that Hu Lai is not worthy of this status?

How did the "Korean phobia" disappear in the East Asian Cup? How did the Chinese team win its second East Asian Cup championship?

At the club, he currently ranks first in the league's scorer list with 19 goals. Although he is the top scorer in the Chinese League One, how many other people besides him can score so many goals in the Chinese League One? Luo Kai and Chen Xingyi

He is already the player with the second most league goals in the Olympic team, and there is a huge gap between him and Hu Lai.

Guan Xinyan is in the Chinese Super League, but how many goals has Guan Xinyan scored?

Two balls.

How many did Hu Lai score?

Nineteen balls.

No matter how difficult the Chinese Super League is, is there such a big gap of 2:19 between the Chinese Super League and the Chinese Premier League?

Not to mention that Hu Lai faced the Chinese Super League teams twice in the Football Association Cup and scored a total of three goals.

Bi Guan Xinyan has scored more goals in all Chinese Super League games this season.

Hu Lai has performed well in national teams and club games. Can such a player be the main center in the Olympic team?

What level of team is the Chinese Olympic team?

Although Hu Lai's position is determined, others can still compete for the two wings surrounding him.

Five of them, Wang Zijian, Guan Xinyan, Luo Kai, Chen Xingyi and Wang Hua, all have opportunities. As for Tan Yunlong, he is a standard center and his positioning is very clear - Hu Lai's substitute.

But that doesn't mean he just has to sit on the bench and cheer for his teammates and hand out towels.

In fact, Shi Wuyin also arranged special tactics for him - when he plays, the Olympic team's offensive tactics will be different from when Hu Lai is there.

This tactic will make full use of Tan Yunlong's excellent physical condition, tall man and strong horse to hold the ball, and use him as an offensive fulcrum, allowing him to provide the ball for the two wingers and the midfielder who inserts behind.

Chance.

The Olympic team's offensive focus will shift from the center to the two wings.

Corresponding wing selections will also be adjusted, with more consideration given to scoring ability.

But no matter which tactic he used, Guan Xinyan found that he was no longer the indispensable offensive core for this team.
To be continued...
