The Lingnan Olympic Sports Center was filled with cheers, blue and white flags were waving in the stands, and cheers in dialects were heard throughout the venue.
Chu Yifan and his three roommates looked at this scene and shook their heads and sighed.
Although I knew that this game would be difficult to win, I didn’t expect it to be this difficult.
Less than five minutes into the game, the home team Nanhai scored a goal.
Listening to the sound of the roaring mountains and tsunami at this scene, it is as if everyone in Flashing Star is going to be eaten alive...
This suspicion is not groundless. Doesn’t it mean that Nanling people eat everything?
As fans watching the game in the stands, they all felt tremendous pressure, so it is completely conceivable how much pressure the players of Anton Shining Star on the court must feel.
Chu Yifan turned his attention to Hu Lai. He was not very worried about Hu Lai's mental endurance.
Already familiar with Hu Lai, he felt that the cheers of the Nanhai team fans would not disturb Hu Lai. What he was worried about was that it would affect other members of the Flash Star team.
Especially Zhang Qinghuan, who started the game as soon as he returned from injury.
Everyone knows how awesome he was before, but everyone also knows how stupid he is now...
In the eyes of many people, if Qin Lin had not been injured, Zhang Qinghuan might not have been able to get a chance to play until the end of the season.
The situation is so difficult now, and Zhang Qinghuan is notoriously unreliable. Who knows what kind of game he can play?
Is it like sleepwalking? Or is it just invisible?
If the players of Shining Star cannot deliver the football to Hu Lai's feet, then no matter how wonderful Hu Lai's movement is and how accurate his shot is, it will be meaningless.
At this time, Chu Yifan had to lament the disadvantages of joining the team midway. Although Hu Lai's performance has been very good after joining the team in the middle of the season, after all, he is just a firefighter.
In terms of staffing, they are actually not built for him, so there will inevitably be some compatibility issues.
This is also why Hu Lai relies so much on Qin Lin.
Because there are too few people who can deliver cannonballs to him.
Chu Yifan only hopes that Flash Star can successfully avoid relegation this season, and then make a good operation during the transfer period. It is best to find some players who can cooperate with Hu Lai.
This is his little thought as senior Hu Lai.

After Zhao Kangming, the head coach of Shining Star on the sidelines, saw the lost ball, he stood up from the coaching bench with a solemn expression, walked to the sidelines, and stood there with his hands on his chest.
It's not that I didn't expect to concede a goal in the away game, but I really didn't expect it to happen so early...
He started Zhang Qinghuan in the hope of increasing midfield control and thus helping to reduce pressure on his defense. In the final analysis, he still wanted stability.
The result was a mistake - now he doesn't need to replace Zhang Qinghuan at the beginning of the game just to strengthen the offense...
Because Zhang Qinghuan was right there.
But some adjustments may need to be made tactically.
When he started Zhang Qinghuan, the position he gave Zhang Qinghuan was a central midfielder. It was a bit like the role Zhang Qinghuan played in the game when he was injured. He had to take care of the midfield and frontcourt, as well as the midfield and backcourt. In other words, a
There are two people, he is Zhang Qinghuan when organizing the offense, and he is Qin Lin when controlling the rhythm and linking offense and defense.
It sounds like it's a bit overwhelming, but Zhao Kangming believes that Zhang Qinghuan can complete his tactical requirements.
Because Zhang Qinghuan has such ability.
In that game against Wuzhou Dongshan, didn't he assist Hu Lai to score a goal while connecting back and forth?
If it wasn't for the injury, there might have been more than one assist.
Of course, this tactic was actually a helpless choice when Qin Lin was injured and absent. Just like before Zhang Qinghuan turned around, Zhao Kangming could only let Qin Lin play the front and back midfielders together, acting as both father and mother. Similarly
Very helpless.
Qin Lin's best position is the defensive midfielder, while Zhang Qinghuan's best position is the front midfielder.
It's a pity that neither of them can get together by the end of this season.
As for whether they can still play together next season, it also depends on Zhang Qinghuan's performance in the remaining three games.
Even if he comes back as a prodigal son, if his performance fails, the club will not spend five million to buy him out.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Kangming finally decided to take a risk and make tactical adjustments now, putting an end to the first set of tactics that only lasted five minutes.
After shouting Zhang Qinghuan's name from the sidelines, he made a gesture to him to move forward.
Zhang Qinghuan knew that he was going to be the attacking midfielder.
To be honest, he can play in the position assigned by the previous head coach and does a good job. But deep down, he really doesn't like this arrangement.
This made him very angry. Now he is not qualified to negotiate terms with the head coach and is picky. He should be thankful to God if he can get a chance to play. If he really wants to prove in front of the head coach that he is indeed
Since he has reformed, he should complete the tasks assigned to him by the head coach without imposing any conditions.
Now he can be positioned further forward, directly facing the opponent's defense, and be a midfielder who delivers the final pass, which makes him breathe a sigh of relief.
I can finally play my best position...
※※※
"Let's take a look. Zhang Qinghuan's position is obviously further forward... This should be Zhao Kangming's intentional adjustment. Flash Star, who is one goal behind, is eager to equalize the score. Guanlin, do you think this adjustment made by Zhao Kangming is too much?
Are you a little anxious? After all, the game has just begun?" Anton TV's commentator interacted with the commentator.
In front of the TV, Wang Yuan was also asking her husband Qin Lin: "Old Qin, what do you think? Are you a little anxious?"
Qin Lin shook his head: "I think we can't delay it any longer and must make adjustments immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Guanlin, the guest commentator on the TV, said: "I'm really a little anxious. I should observe more. Now let Zhang Qinghuan step up. The four midfielders who were originally standing in parallel positions have become diamond-shaped positions.
There is only one Ma Wenyi in the defensive midfielder, and the defensive pressure increases sharply. Nanhai, which has taken the lead, must be morale-boosted and will attack with all its strength in the next game. If the Nanhai team scores another goal, it will be really bad if the Nanhai team scores another goal.
I am exhausted..."
Qin Lin shook his head when he heard this: "Old Zhao wants to use our offense to push back the Nanhai team's offense. We can't let them build momentum in their home court. This commentator is purely talking on paper. Many times, it determines the outcome of the game.
It's not the skills and tactics, but the morale. The disadvantage after losing the ball is not a tactical mistake, but the failure to quickly get the players on the field to unify their thoughts, causing confusion among the players on the field. Of course, they have to be suppressed... Lao Zhao's choice is correct
Yes, on-the-spot command cannot be rigid and dogmatic."
At the same time, at Hu Lai's home in Dongchuan, Xie Lan frowned after hearing the commentator's words and asked anxiously: "Is the head coach making blind adjustments? Will Flash Star concede more goals?"
?”
Hu Lixin shook his head: "I don't know if we will concede more goals, but this coach's adjustment may allow your son to score goals."
Hearing what her husband said, Xie Lan immediately changed the subject: "Oh, that's a good adjustment!"
Hu Lixin glanced at his wife: "You are really unprincipled."
"Anything that is good for my son, I will support it! Anything that is not good for my son, I will oppose it!" Xie Lan raised her chest and raised her head, "This is the principle of being a mother!"
Hu Lixin turned his head and continued to watch the game, but the other corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

After Zhang Qinghuan moved up to the attacking midfielder position, Shining Star's offense really became a threat.
At the beginning, when Lingnan Nanhai didn't pay enough attention to Zhang Qinghuan, Zhang Qinghuan messed up their defense after getting the ball in the frontcourt.
Even the commentator from Nanling TV kept exclaiming: "Is this the Zhang Qinghuan we all know?!"
The Zhang Qinghuan he calls "the Zhang Qinghuan we all know" is of course the Zhang Qinghuan who is addicted to alcohol and women and disappears both on and off the court.
But now, the one who appears in the Olympic Sports Center is Zhang Qinghuan, who took the ball and took a feint, tricking his opponent into going to the left, but he passed the opponent from the right and then distributed the football to the wing.
After receiving the ball from Zhang Qinghuan, Leng Jinyu relied on his speed to break through and then made a pass.
In the middle, Hu Lai and Murphy were "double ghosts knocking on the door" one after the other.
Although in the end the ball was pushed out by the Nanhai team's center back and did not result in a shot, it was a real threat to the Nanhai team's goal.
When Hu Lai and Murphy jumped up toward the spot where the football landed, the Nanhai fans in the stands couldn't help but exclaimed.
※※※
"Good goal! Although the ball was cleared by the opponent first, the attack was so beautiful!" the commentator of Anton TV said loudly on the TV.
"Look!" Qin Lin clapped his hands and pointed at the TV to his wife. The child shouted excitedly, "This is the momentum I'm talking about! The brave will win when we meet on a narrow road! At this time, we should attack resolutely and take down the enemy.
Suppress their arrogance! Look at the Nanhai fans in the stands who are scared!"
Seeing her husband's excitement, his wife Wang Yuan smiled: "You made me think that Flash Star had equalized the score..."
"There is hope if we continue playing like this." Qin Lin was no longer excited and continued to sit on the sofa and watch the game.
The TV screen was reflected in his pupils, making them look particularly bright.
※※※
Qin Lin's optimism is justified.
When Zhang Qinghuan gets closer to the opponent's defense, he can send more threatening passes. These passes can help Hu Lai and Murphy get shooting opportunities, and also force the South China Sea team's defense to shrink further - because they can't
If you leave too much space behind you, Zhang Qinghuan will seize the opportunity to send a through ball.
An attacking midfielder who can deliver fatal passes, plus a striker who always cuts into space behind him.
This combination put tremendous pressure on the Nanhai team's defense.
And when their defense moves back, there will inevitably be some gaps at the front of the penalty area.
At the 24th minute of the first half, Flash Star launched an offensive. Marvin suddenly stepped in as a defensive midfielder and dribbled the ball from the side to the front.
At the same time, right back Zhang Hao came in behind him at high speed and pulled away another Nanhai defensive player.
Upon seeing this, Hu Lai did not wait in the penalty area, but retreated to meet Ma Wenyi.
Marvin passed the football horizontally to Hu Lai, who was withdrawing from the penalty area. With his back to the offensive direction, Hu Lai passed the football horizontally to Zhang Qinghuan at the top of the penalty arc in the middle.
After passing the ball, he turned around and rushed in.
His rush took away two defensive players - because he was worried that Hu Lai was playing one-on-one with Zhang Qinghuan and hit the wall to cooperate. The forward passed the ball and then ran back, and the midfielder then passed through. This kind of offensive routine is too common.
It's so classic, any defender will think of this when he sees the forward turning around and running into the penalty area.
So one of the Nanhai team's defensive players who was going to block Zhang Qinghuan suddenly didn't dare to step forward easily, for fear that the space behind him would be exploited.
There was a brief moment of space in front of Zhang Qinghuan!
He did not send a through ball like before, but chose to shoot directly!
Outside the penalty area, he fired a long shot, and the football seemed to be floating on the turf. After touching the ground, he jumped up slightly and continued to run forward, and his speed increased!
For this long-range shot, because the angle was not very tricky, the Nanhai team's goalkeeper moved quickly and then fell forward, intending to put the football directly into his arms.
But when the football touched the ground again in front of him, there was a slight rebound, which caused the goalkeeper to make a mistake in judgment.
His hand came back a little slower, causing the football that hit his chest to bounce out again!
"Get rid of it!!"
Accompanied by the screams of the Anton TV commentator, a white figure came rushing towards the door!
"Hulai!!"
The figure who turned around and ran back just now did not stop because Zhang Qinghuan did not pass the ball to him, but rushed to the Nanhai team's goal in one breath.
And the football was like a dessert that had been prepared for him a long time ago, bouncing out and appearing right next to his "mouth"!
There is no hesitation and no sloppiness.
Hu Lai, who rushed to the goal, raised his right foot, turned his ankle sideways, and gently pushed the rebounded football...
The football flew into the goal just in front of the desperate Nanhai goalkeeper.
At this moment, someone from the Nanhai team's defender reacted and raised his arm to signal to the referee that the ball was offside.
But neither the linesman nor the referee made such a penalty. The latter even turned around, pointed his finger at the center circle, and blew the whistle at the same time!
"Hu Lai!!! The tenth goal of the season! He equalized the score for Anton Shining Star!"
