When the first goal was conceded in the first five minutes, most of the students in the second class of Dongchuan Middle School were angry. Many people thought what the hell was the school team playing!
But after conceding the second goal, everyone's anger diminished a lot.
There were sighs in the classroom, and someone said with emotion: "This is the defending champion..."
This second goal was actually more caused by the team's mistake, but everyone didn't care. Instead of criticizing Yan Yan or Meng Xi for the mistake, there was only a sense of frustration and powerlessness.
This is because it was only five minutes into the game and they actually lacked an intuitive understanding of how powerful Shuguang High School was, so they were dissatisfied with conceding the ball so quickly.
But after the twenty-minute game, they all saw that Shuguang High School, as the team that could successfully defend the national championship for the first time, was indeed stronger than Dongchuan Middle School. This strength was definitely not only reflected in their
A Chen Xingyi.
This is all-round strength, so it is not incredible that they can score two goals in the first half.
The players on the Dongchuan Middle School football team resigned to their fate and gave up the penalty area, allowing Chen Xingyi to take the penalty kick.
And the students of Dongchuan Middle School in front of the TV were a little resigned to their fate.
Some people are even muttering in a low voice: "Actually, it's amazing that we can reach the finals... We really can't force the final results..."
This view was immediately recognized and supported by more people.
"Yes, actually think about it, with the strength of our school team, finishing second is a very good result."
"Don't put too much pressure on them. The result is not important. Being able to participate is the biggest victory."
Song Jiajia's thoughts were different from theirs. If he just accepted his fate, how could Hu Lai jump over the dragon gate?
So we can’t just let it go!

On the TV screen, Chen Xingyi, who scored the penalty kick, turned around and hugged his teammates who came up. They celebrated the goal directly in the penalty area of Dongchuan Middle School.
In the background of their celebration were the dejected Dongchuan Middle School players.
In the first 25 minutes, two goals were conceded. How could we still play in the final?
In front of the TV, Yang Mingwei sighed: "After consecutive games, the physical fitness of Dongchuan Middle School players has been affected. Their running in this game was not as active as in the previous games. It is obvious that they have more than enough energy and insufficient strength..."
He originally invited Li Qingqing to watch the game at home because he wanted to cheer for Lao Li.
As a result, the game ended like this, how can we cheer for it?
He even felt a little embarrassed - Qingqing must not want her father's predicament to be seen by others, right?
But Li Qingqing said: "The game is not over yet, Uncle Yang. There are still fifty-five minutes."
When Yang Mingwei heard what she said, he knew that Qingqing wanted to continue to defend his father in front of others, so he did not refute her, but nodded along with her intention and said: "Yes, the game is not over yet, and now is not the time to give up.
."
At this time, Yang Mingwei's wife came over with a fruit plate, placed the fruit plate on the coffee table in front of Li Qingqing, and said, "Come on, Qingqing, eat an apple."
Li Qingqing picked up a red apple and said, "Thank you, Aunt Wang."
But she didn't eat it, but held it in her hand and continued to watch the game.

In the stands of the Lotus Stadium, women's screams dominated the scene. Chu Yifan and his roommates were separated from Chen Xingyi's fan group by an entire stadium - they were facing each other's stands, with the stadium in the middle -
-But you can still clearly hear what those screams are shouting.
"Chen Xingyi! Chen Xingyi!"
"The stars are invincible!"
The roommate next to Chu Yifan shuddered: "When I play football, I always imagine that there are many girls coming to watch my games, but if those girls are shouting my name so hysterically, then forget it...
"
"Oh, I'm so unhappy! I was looking forward to a wonderful final, but in the first 25 minutes, Shuguang High School was already leading by two goals. How can we play the rest of the game?"
"Dachu, don't be too sad. In fact, it's amazing that your school can reach the finals all the way. I believe anyone who has watched this national competition will not deny the performance of your school team... It's just that it's not as good as
The strength gap between Shuguang High School and Shuguang High School is too big, and they also have Chen Xingyi..." Seeing that Chu Yifan had not spoken after losing the ball, the other roommates quickly comforted him for fear that he would not be able to think about it.
"Yes, yes, being the runner-up in the national competition is enough for me to boast about for a whole year..."
Chu Yifan, who was sitting in his seat and looking at the stadium, said: "But Hu Lai is right. Since we have reached the semi-finals, who is going to the third or fourth place finals? Now that we have reached the finals
, who is willing to be the runner-up in the end? You don’t need to comfort me, the game is not over, I don’t need comfort yet.”
Having said this, he raised his head and smiled at his roommates.
"Let's continue watching the game."

As soon as Hu Lai got the ball, deafening boos erupted from the stands opposite Chu Yifan and the others.
This is not the first time this scene has occurred. In the previous game of more than 20 minutes, whenever Hu Lai got the ball, boos would ring out in the stands.
At first, the audience was a little strange, because it was Shuguang High School fans who were putting pressure on their opponents, so why were the other Dongchuan Middle School players not booed when they got the ball? Only Hu Lai was booed?
Later, everyone speculated that this might be because Hu Lai was the biggest threat to Shuguang High School. After all, he was the top scorer of Dongchuan Middle School.
Even the commentator said this and explained it to the audience in front of the TV.
But in fact, no one knows the real reason why Chen Xingyi's fans booed Hu Lai.
After Chen Xingyi had scored two goals, Chen Xingyi's fans booed Hu Lai even more vigorously. When everyone booed Hu Lai, there was an indescribable pleasure in their hearts - don't you mean
Are you better than our Chen Xingyi? Now please open your eyes and take a closer look, who is better? Our Chen Xingyi has already scored two goals in the final, what about you? You are still here
Akebono High School defenders are struggling in defense!
In the past, their boos were simply to express their disgust for Hu Lai, but now their boos are showing off and mocking Hu Lai.
Keep jumping!
If you have the ability, if you score a goal, it shows that you are better than our Chen Xingyi!
Just talk and don’t practice, you’re a stick!
Amid their boos, Hu Lai passed the football and did not continue to take the ball.
Seeing him pass the ball away, Chen Xingyi's fans laughed happily. They seemed to have won another round.
※※※
In this game, Hu Lai was heavily targeted by Shuguang High School.
When studying the opponent Dongchuan Middle School before the final, Chen Xingyi provided a very important piece of information to the head coach Liang Yuanhao, that is, Hu Lai believed that he was better than Chen Xingyi, so now the two of them are on the scorer list.
Just like the ball, it will definitely evolve into a competition between two shooters in the final.
Then it becomes much easier to defend Dongchuan Middle School's offense - just keep an eye on Hu Lai.
And Hu Lai is not an all-around forward like Chen Xingyi. He is only good at shooting and not good at anything else. He cannot break through with the ball and cannot engage in physical confrontation.
Defending him is definitely easier than guarding Chen Xingyi.
After all, when Chen Xingyi encounters a defense in the penalty area, he can retreat to the midfield to get the ball, and then break through with the ball himself.
And what about Hu Lai? The further away from the goal, the lower his threat.
Li Yi looked at Hu Lai who had just passed the football away and sighed in his heart. Captain Chen actually said that Hu Lai was better than him at the entrance of the cafeteria in front of so many people. Did he start fighting with this guy from then on?
Is this kid engaging in psychological warfare?
Just to attract him to put all his thoughts into the one-on-one competition with Team Chen, turning him into a "lone wolf" who only has eyes for forwards who score goals.
Coupled with the taunts and attacks from Team Chen's fans, this kid is sure to lose his mind and get excited. He only thinks about scoring goals and competing with Team Chen on the scorer list.
Now it seems that Team Chen's strategy is obviously successful. Through this series of measures, Dongchuan Middle School's offense will eventually converge on Hu Lai. When defending, he only needs to block Hu Lai, and he is blocked.
Dongchuan High School’s offense…
Let me tell you something, our Captain Chen's heart... is really dirty!
He felt a little pitiful for Hu Lai - if you were targeted by our Team Chen, you might not end well!

Sun Yonggang stood on the sidelines, and his film team was recording the performance of Shuguang High School players in this game from different cameras. There was a special camera that only filmed Chen Xingyi throughout the game.
The first half of the game has lasted for more than 20 minutes. During this period, Chen Xingyi's performance was fully worthy of such treatment.
If Shuguang High School finally wins the championship, it can be expected that this documentary will be a great success. And these aspects of Chen Xingyi's performance in this game can be released into a separate documentary...
It's just that Sun Yonggang doesn't care much about this issue now. His eyes are all on Hu Lai.
The situation in this final was very unfavorable for Dongchuan Middle School, and it could even be said to be a matter of life and death.
Falling behind by two goals in the first half is a devastating blow to the morale of any team.
So under such circumstances, what should Hu Lai do? What kind of answer can he hand in in the confrontation with Chen Xingyi?
It's not within the scope of his job, but he just can't help but think about it.
Hu Lai, you said you are better than Chen Xingyi. Is this just bragging, or do you really have this ability?
The competition between two teenagers should not end so anticlimactically...
