Chapter 37: A brace

 When night is completely shrouded over the Jindu Plain, the temperature difference between day and night causes the air to flow, and the cool breeze is gradually taking away the heat of the city that has been exposed to the sun for a day.

The city has had its finest hour.

Only the Provincial Sports Center outside the Third Ring Road in the north of the city remained popular and filled with cheers.

Hu Lai ran towards the corner flag area, jumped up high, and made his signature celebration move.

The deafening cheers were the best BGM for his celebrations.

Hu Lai's teammates have come from all directions, hugging Hu Lai and high-fiving him one by one to celebrate his goal.

Chen Jianyu felt something in his heart when he saw this scene.

When a young person first arrives in a team, it is difficult for him to integrate into the team because he has no foundation here. Moreover, the football team locker room is a place that pays great attention to seniority and faction. What was Chinese football in the past?

Everyone knows about virtue. After all these years, some things have not changed much. After all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Where there are rivers and lakes, there will naturally be factions.

Of course, local players will play better with each other because of the feeling of being from the same country. This is not just the case in football, but in all walks of life.

Foreign aid is more likely to be sought out by foreign aid because they don’t understand the language with other people.

The domestic players who are not local players will either form a loose group by themselves, or they will simply find local players to support them, trying to squeeze into the core group of the team. In this way, whether on or off the court, life will be long.

Much better.

This situation exists in any team, not only Chinese teams, but also foreign teams.

Because that's part of human nature.

Flash Star is a young team. After all, it has been less than ten years since its establishment. Relatively speaking, the situation of factions in the team is much better, but it cannot be said that there are no factions.

Qin Lin doesn't care about these things, because he is a big boss in Chinese football. Whether it is the national team or the local team, everyone must give him face. He comes to Flashing Star like a dragon crossing the river, as long as he does not take the initiative to provoke others

, there is definitely a place for him in this team.

But it is not easy for a newcomer like Hu Lai, who is as new as ever, to gain the support and recognition of his teammates so quickly.

Even with Wang Guangwei's help and introduction, the integration speed is too fast...it can almost be compared with the speed of his rise in the professional league.

However, when Chen Jianyu thought about how this kid was clearly distracted during the welcome ceremony, but was able to use the excuse of worshiping Qin Lin to regain his image, he had to admit that perhaps the only one who could integrate into a new team so quickly was

He...

Look at that Zhang Qinghuan, he hasn't integrated into the team yet.

Of course, he may not need to integrate, because Chen Jianyu believes that when this season is over, Flash Star will definitely return Zhang Qinghuan to Zhao.

Chen Jianyu then turned his attention to the small square formation composed of former members of the Dongchuan Middle School football team in the stands. As expected, they were waving the banner in their hands vigorously.

"Hu Lai, your teammates from the Dongchuan Middle School team are here to cheer you on!"

This scene made him laugh and look up at the night sky.

This is the most beautiful moment in Jincheng.

※※※

Hu Lai's header shot gave the team the lead and opened the deadlock in the game.

The lagging Haeju Fangda cannot continue the tactics they formulated before the game and must make some adjustments. After all, even if they are weaker than Anton Shining Star, even if they are playing away from home, there is no need to admit defeat after only half an hour of play.

Surrender?

No matter what, you have to resist and struggle.

How to adjust?

Of course, press out and attack...

How else can I adjust it.

The level of the Chinese League One is not high, and the head coach is naturally not a world-famous coach. Even a world-class coach cannot make clever plans in every game and turn a game into a famous game.

So when you fall behind, you step up your attack in the hope of equalizing the score. This is human nature and is a routine operation. It may not be clever, but it may not be a big mistake.

To strengthen the offense, it is not enough to just ask the frontcourt players to work hard; more troops need to be invested.

But there are only eleven people on the field, except for the goalkeeper. If you want to invest more troops, you can't find them from the bench, right? You have to dispatch them from the ten people on the field.

This is why when it comes to strengthening the offense, everyone sees full-backs actively pressing forward to participate in the attack. Because this is the simplest and most effective way to strengthen the offense.

Use full backs to press forward to increase the threat of wing attacks, change the offensive rhythm, and enrich offensive routines.

Of course, there are definitely risks or hidden dangers in doing so.

For example, after the full-backs press forward to participate in the attack, what should they do with the space behind them? Will it be caught and exploited by the opponent?

Of course it will!

So before the end of the first half, the space behind Haizhou Fangda's full-back was caught by Flash Star, and he made a very beautiful quick counterattack.

Foreign aid forward Macaulay Murphy scored another goal for the Flash Stars, rewriting the score to 2:0!

"The entire Shining Star team is in good condition today! After a week of repairs and training, the players' physical fitness is much better..." the commentator of Anton TV said happily.

"I hope it will be a hearty victory!" guest Lu Guanlin said hopefully.

The commentator quickly said: "Hey, it's only the first half, and we only lead by two goals."

Lu Guanlin also reacted immediately: "You are right, the game is not over yet!"

The two of them were afraid that they would damage Flash Star's character.

※※※

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Flash Star did not make any adjustments. After all, they were the ones leading by two goals, and the leader did not need to be the first to make adjustments.

Haeju Fangda, which was lagging behind, tried its best to attack the Shining Star goal.

Haizhou Fangda, which was previously ranked 15th, is only one place above the relegation zone. If you are not careful, it is still possible to fall into the relegation zone.

This forces them to have no choice but to score as many points as possible.

They may not really expect to beat the Stars away from home, but what if they can get a point?

No matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat, not to mention that this may save their lives in the end.

In the 52nd minute, their attack failed and Flash Star seized the opportunity to counterattack.

In desperation, a player from Haizhou Fangda fouled on the wing, giving Flash Star a chance to take a free kick from the wing.

Although the fouling player received a yellow card, it gave his teammates time to return to defense and defused a quick counterattack by Flash Star. It seems that it is actually quite cost-effective.

So the Flash Star fans in the stands booed to express their displeasure.

Then almost all Haizhou Fangda players returned to the front line of their penalty area to defend the set kick.

The head coach of Haizhou Fangda also stood up from his seat, walked to the sidelines, and made some gestures.

This gesture can only be understood by the players of Haizhou Fangda. It tells them that they can take advantage of this set-piece opportunity to counterattack the Stars.

After all, for weak teams, set pieces are a very effective scoring method - this principle is not only reflected in set piece offense, but also in set piece defense.

It is easy to understand that scoring by attacking set pieces is easy, but why is it that defending set pieces is also a means of scoring?

This is the intention of the head coach of Haizhou Fangda. Look at the set kick from the wing of Flash Star. It is almost like a corner kick, so the two central defenders of Flash Star, Li Tielin and Wang Guangwei, pressed forward to compete for the top spot.

.

As a result, their defense behind them was correspondingly empty.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if Haizhou Fangda could withstand this set-piece attack from Flash Star and then take the opportunity to counterattack?

Qin Lin, who was on the court, noticed the actions of the head coach of Haizhou Fangda. Although he couldn't understand the meaning of the gesture, he could use his rich experience to guess that it was probably a counterattack from Flashing Star.

So he signaled Leng Jinyu to come up and take the free kick, but he ran to the middle and told his teammates with gestures - we don't pass the ball directly to the goal, we have to take an indirect free kick and control the ball.

As the team's on-field commander, Qin Lin is experienced and well-informed. He is almost as good as half the head coach on the field. Everyone naturally listens to what he says.

So when the free kick was taken, Leng Jinyu did not kick the football directly to the Haizhou side gate, but passed it sideways to Ma Wenyi, who came up to meet him.

As soon as Marvin caught the ball, he tried to pass the football at a 45-degree angle, but then he feinted and passed the football across the ball.

The one who caught the ball was naturally Qin Lin.

When the players of Haizhou Fangda saw that Shining Star did not pass the ball directly, they knew that their intention had been seen through. In this case, there was no need to stick to the penalty area.

Then their goalkeeper shouted, and everyone rushed out, intending to cause offside.

At this moment, Qin Lin, who had the ball, sent a through ball!

The football penetrated Haizhou Fangda's defense from the ribs, and Waters, another foreign aid midfielder from Flash Star, stepped in from the back row to catch the ball!

Because he came in from outside the penalty area, he was not offside!

Haizhou Fangda's players saw this and quickly retreated.

Such rushing and retreating made many people dizzy, and they no longer cared about defensive positioning or man-to-man defense...

Some people jumped on Waters when he got the ball, and some people hurriedly turned around to defend the Flash Star players - at this time, there was no such thing as offside or not, as long as Waters was better than all Flash Star players when passing the ball.

The players are closer to the baseline, so all Flash Star players are not offside.

Haizhou Fangda's two central defenders were relatively sober and knew how to stand at the two points in front of the goal immediately.

But they just stood still. The two central defenders had their eyes fixed on Waters, who was holding the ball in the ribs of the penalty area, and were completely unaware of the surrounding situation.

In this chaotic situation, Waters made a pass!

When his foot hit the football, he tightened his strength slightly, then lifted the football slightly with his toes instead of rubbing it.

The result of this is that the football will fly slower, more smoothly, and it is easier to control the passing accuracy.

But the disadvantage is that it is slow, which can easily give the opponent's defensive players time to react, making it easier for them to defend.

However, when the defense is rushed, the impact of this disadvantage can basically be ignored. The accuracy of the pass is the most important, because the space is small. A smaller pass may not be able to get over the top of the first central defender. A slightly larger pass may not be able to get over the top of the first central defender.

It may fly to the head of the second central defender...

What Waters wants to pass is the space between the first central defender and the second central defender.

That small space hides the best shooting opportunity!

Waters believed that the young man on the team must have seen it, so instead of passing the football to Macaulay Murphy at the back post, he chose to take a risk.

Sure enough, when the football flew over the head of the first Haizhou Fangda center back, Waters saw a red figure break out from the dense and chaotic crowd in the middle of the penalty area and go straight to the space behind the center back!

"Hu Lai!" Anton TV's commentator exclaimed excitedly.

There were thunderous cheers in the stands.

In front of Haizhou Fangda's goal, Hu Lai jumped up in the space between the two central defenders and shook his head to attack the goal!

Although Haizhou Fangda's goalkeeper had turned around and pounced, he still couldn't stop the football - Hu Lai consciously threw the football backwards when heading the ball, just to avoid being turned around by the goalkeeper.

"The goal is scored——!! Beautiful! Hu Lai scored twice! Anton Shining Star leads Haizhou Fangda with three goals!"
