Zhang Qinghuan was violated and fell to the ground again, but this time the referee's whistle did not sound. He could not lie on the ground to rest for more, so he could only reluctantly get up from the ground and get up to chase after him.
After running a few steps, the opponent's pass was intercepted by Wang Guangwei.
Seeing him running back, Wang Guangwei passed the football over.
As soon as Zhang Qinghuan received the ball, he was tagged by an opponent's player.
He no longer had the strength to continue dribbling the ball away from his opponent, so he could only protect the football. When the opponent's player stretched out his foot to steal the ball but kicked his leg, he yelled, then spread his arms and fell to the ground.
This time the referee's whistle finally sounded.
Hearing this crisp whistle, Zhang Qinghuan seemed to have heard the sound. He turned over and lay on the ground with his chest heaving violently.
He still remembers Hu Lai's words: Unless the referee calls him to get up, he will never move. He can rest as long as he can during the game to let his physical fitness recover a little. Because no one knows when the next time he will need to give his best.
Marvin came up and asked his midfield partner: "How is it? Is it okay?"
Zhang Qinghuan even had to save energy to speak, he just gave Marven a thumbs up.
In front of the Flashing Star coach's bench on the sidelines, assistant coach Chen Mo was suggesting to head coach Zhao Kangming: "Zhang Qinghuan looks like he's done. Can you consider replacing him? His physical strength is of no use staying on the court. The game is still there.
With about twenty minutes left, it is still possible for us to maintain this tie..."
Zhao Kangming nodded and agreed with Chen Mo: "Let Shi Junde warm up."
Replacing Shi Junde instead of Han Xiangfei on the court is to strengthen defense. After all, Shi Junde is a defensive midfielder who is more professional than Han Xiangfei in defense.
※※※
"Zhang Qinghuan is going to end..." Wang Yuan said to her husband in front of the TV.
Qin Lin nodded. In his impression, Zhang Qinghuan's physical strength had never been so bad. You must know that he was the one who played the whole game in the Chinese Super League. Doesn't he even have the physical fitness for seventy-five minutes to play in the Chinese Super League?
?
It can only be said that the past three years of his indulgence have left too many traces of corrosion on his body...and it will take time to repair these traces, and it will definitely not be restored in ten and a half months.
Football is fair. You get what you pay for. If you take football seriously, football will not let you down.
If you don't take football seriously...this is what happens.
"Zhao Kangming should have made a substitution adjustment, replacing Zhang Qinghuan who was obviously exhausted. Zhang Qinghuan actually played very well in today's game. Not only did he indirectly assist Hu Lai for a goal, but his skillful foot skills also helped Bianxing control
I can compete with the Nanhai team at home in the midfield..." The commentator of Anton TV began to summarize Zhang Qinghuan's performance in this game.
Guest commentator Lu Guanlin also said: "Yes, and I also want to say that I haven't seen Zhang Qinghuan perform like this for a long time - I'm not just saying that he performed well, I'm also saying that he really performed well in today's game.
He tried his best and played very actively. And Zhang Qinghuan, who spared no effort in his physical strength, really made me want to say: 'Long time no see'!"
"After all, I have just returned from injury and can perform like this. There is nothing to be picky about."
"It is said that Zhang Qinghuan's loan contract has a buyout clause. If he can maintain such performance, maybe after the end of the season, Flash Star Club will consider buying him out. In that case... I am now looking forward to Flash Star next season.
The star is shining. After Qin Lin returned from injury, he took the defensive midfield position and Zhang Qinghuan played as the attacking midfielder... This midfielder is at the national team level!" Commentator Lu Guanlin burst into laughter.
Don't talk about him, Qin Lin was fascinated when he heard this in front of the TV...
He looked down at his feet.
Please, get well soon!

Five minutes later, Shi Junde finished his warm-up and returned to the coaching bench. He stood next to head coach Zhao Kangming and assistant coach Chen Mo, waiting for the head coach to assign tasks to him.
At this moment, the Nanhai team got a corner kick on the court and was about to take the penalty.
The team's three central defenders and center forward all crowded in front of the Flashing Star goal, intending to compete for the top spot.
The two full-backs were dragged near the center line, which was the last line of defense in front of the goalkeeper.
Almost all the Flash Star players retreated into the penalty area to defend the corner kick.
Only Hu Lai stayed outside the penalty area. He is short and cannot play a big role in defending corner kicks in the penalty area. It is better to stay outside the penalty area and use his ability to accurately judge the placement of the football to control the second placement.
Woolen cloth.
As for Zhang Qinghuan, although he has little physical strength, he is still standing in the penalty area and showing off.
Zhao Kangming did not rush to let Shi Junde play at this time, but decided to wait until the opponent's corner kick was served.
Substituting players when defending a corner kick is likely to cause loopholes in the defense in the penalty area - the player who just came on the field may not understand the situation clearly and has not yet entered the game state, and may become a time bomb for the team's defense.
So unless a player is injured at this time, he will not make substitutions when defending corner kicks.
He just took advantage of this opportunity to explain to Shi Junde his mission after coming on the field: "...our main goal next is to keep this tie. After coming on the field, you need to form an iron gate with Ma Wenyi in the midfield, and at the same time
Defend on the wing and fill in on the wing when necessary..."
Shi Junde, with his hands on his hips, listened to the coach's explanation and looked at the court.
Zhao Kangming did the same, staring at the court and explaining tactics to Shi Junde.
Seeing that the opponent had already laid out the football and was about to take a corner kick, he paused briefly and temporarily turned his attention to the court.
At this moment, the referee blew a whistle and the football was kicked toward the goal by a player from the Nanhai team.
The football drew an arc around the goal. Wang Guangwei, who was guarding the penalty area, jumped up and pushed the football out of the penalty area before all the Nanhai players.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Kangming was ready to continue arranging tasks for Shi Junde.
The football was pushed out of the penalty area by Wang Guangwei and flew in the direction of Hu Lai.
In other words, Hu Lai used his ability to judge the landing point of the football and moved to the landing point of the football.
While waiting for the football to come, he quickly took a look at the situation in the middle and found that there was a space diagonally behind him. At the same time, Zhang Qinghuan moved out of the penalty area and ran towards Wang Guangwei's header at the same time.
The entire midfield and frontcourt were extremely empty. Apart from the two full-backs guarding the back, there was only one Nanhai team player outside the penalty area, behind him and not in the direction of Zhang Qinghuan's advance.
All other Nanhai team players were in the Flashing Star penalty area, preparing to run back.
After observing the surrounding situation, Hu Lai jumped up and threw the football into the space diagonally behind him, and also threw it to Zhang Qinghuan who was running there.
The football was pushed a little high by him, but it also gave Zhang Qinghuan the opportunity to observe and catch up with the football.
He glanced in front of him - about five or six meters in front of him, there was Feng Lei, the No. 12 full-back of the Nanhai team, who was the only defensive player who could stop him.
On the other side of the pitch is another full-back who can be left alone.
Seeing that Zhang Qinghuan might get the football, Nanhai's full-back Feng Lei did not pounce on him because the distance was too far and he was afraid of missing the ball.
I have to say that this choice is quite correct.
If you pounce too hard, the opponent will take advantage of the situation and pass you by, but if you don't go up, you can force Zhang Qinghuan to control the ball.
As long as Zhang Qinghuan chooses to stop the football and adjust again, Feng Lei can press forward and get stuck at a distance that makes him uncomfortable. His task is not to steal the ball directly, but to block Zhang Qinghuan, delay him, and give him a
Teammates returning to defense create opportunities.
Then what should I do?
Zhang Qinghuan was thinking this way.
Since my opponent wants me to be slow... then I will be fast!
Thinking of this, he quickly glanced up and saw that the football had fallen and was right in front of him.
He can stop the football solidly, but doesn't have to.
※※※
"Just stop the ball and control it..." Qin Lin in front of the TV suddenly started talking to himself, as if he was giving Zhang Qinghuan some advice.
But before he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Qinghuan lift up his right foot and push the football out of the air!
It was a full fifteen meters away!
"A mistake in stopping the ball?!" Anton TV's commentator asked in shock.
No!
Qin Lin answered him in his heart.
Zhang Qinghuan did it on purpose! He wanted the ball to pass!
Sure enough, Zhang Qinghuan in the TV picture was throwing the football out and at the same time, he accelerated past the Nanhai team player Feng Lei who was defending him!
At the same time, Feng Lei also turned around and chased back.
The two people started a 100-meter sprint chase in the midfield!
"Wow!!! The ball has been passed!!" Anton TV's commentator finally understood and shouted.
※※※
The stands of the Olympic Sports Center were also ignited by this exciting scene. Fans of both the away team and the home team were cheering for their players at the top of their lungs.
The entire stadium was like a volcano about to erupt, and it was very lively.
"Fuck, no..." Shi Junde, who was standing on the sidelines, was dumbfounded and subconsciously uttered a curse word.
Doesn’t it mean that this kid has no explosive power?
So what happened to this man's passing of the ball?
A flashback?!
※※※
The football that was thrown out rolled slower and slower on the turf in front, and finally stopped completely.
But Zhang Qinghuan, who was chasing after him, could still hear heavy breathing. He didn't know if it was his own, the pursuers behind him, or both...
He knew very well that even though he tried his best and sprinted with gritted teeth, he could not help him get rid of No. 12. Even if he continued to run like this, he would definitely catch up with him.
His speed...his explosive power is indeed not as good as before.
If it were three years ago, when he threw the football more than ten meters away, there would have been no doubt about the result of this attack. He would use his speed to dribble the ball straight to Huanglong and score the longest single-handed goal.
But now, he felt like his lungs were burning, like a bellows with a hole in it, roaring every time it twitched, but air was leaking everywhere, and he couldn't muster much energy at all.
He had never felt so resentful about the absurd life he had spent in the past three years as he did now.
How did that almost omnipotent young man become like this?
If... if my physical fitness were better and my speed was faster... I would still need to be so embarrassed?!
He finally caught up with the completely stationary football, but at the same time, Feng Lei behind him also took the opportunity to overtake him, then turned around and blocked him.
He lowered his center of gravity, got into a good posture, and looked at the Panting Star No. 10, who was panting like an ox. He was a little annoyed - he was really fooled by this person just now, and he didn't expect that he would kick the football out from so far away.
, was caught off guard and was left behind by the opponent.
But it's okay now. Seeing how embarrassed you are, your performance will stop here.
His teammates were quickly returning to defense, and one of them was already on the verge of killing him. It was Wang Yiru, the captain and midfielder No. 8 of Nanhai. He was preparing to flank Zhang Qinghuan with his teammates.
After Zhang Qinghuan took control of the football, he also noticed this situation.
I saw him slightly adjusting his body orientation and swinging his right foot towards the center, as if he was going to pass the football to the middle.
Wang Yiru, who attracted help from the defense, did not attack, but moved towards the center, trying to block his passing route.
But Zhang Qinghuan didn't really pass the ball. His right foot crossed the outside of the football, and then turned back at a very fast speed. While turning back, he knocked the football behind him with the inside of his foot!
At the same time he turned around quickly!
After turning around, he used the outside instep of his left foot to move the football forward!
He rushed over from the outside of Feng Lei again!
Continue to break through with the ball!
"Ahhhhh!!! Francis turns around!!" the Anton TV commentator roared. "Zhang Qinghuan continues to dribble the ball forward!"
Damn...it's not over, right?
Feng Lei cursed in his mind, turned around, gritted his teeth and chased after him. But his breath was already a little messed up as he hurriedly chased after him...
At this moment, he saw Zhang Qinghuan swung his left foot as if to make a pass, but he just made a false move and tapped his foot next to the football.
This caused Feng Lei to stumble slightly, but fortunately he stabilized himself and did not "pounce" directly.
But this also caused him to be thrown away by Zhang Qinghuan by half a body and from an angle...
He didn't have time to carefully observe the situation in the middle, so he directly raised his left foot and passed the football towards the goal!
But this does not mean that this is a cross he kicked casually. Although there was no one in the space when he made the cross, he believed that after the ball was passed, that person would definitely appear where he should be.
where it appears.
Although this is only the second game the two of them have played together, he firmly believes that...
Otherwise he is not worthy of receiving his own pass!
"Zhang Qinghuan's biography——"
Accompanied by the commentator's elongated roar, the football passed over the head of Liu Gan, who had returned to defense and then jumped hard to head the ball to clear the ball, and fell into the large space behind him.
There, a man wearing a white flashing star away jersey suddenly appeared from outside the TV broadcast screen!
He almost flew into the air and tackled the football!
Zhang Qinghuan, who fell to the ground after completing the pass, barely raised his upper body and saw the young man in white who had hit him.
He grinned.
The man who had been working hard to run forward since he started playing with the football finally made it!
He let out a long breath, and then his body lost all strength and fell backwards.
Just as he fell to the ground, he heard loud boos.
※※※
"Hulai!!!"
Hu Lai, who was flying in the air, stamped the ball with his right foot. Using the inertia of his sprint, he kicked the football hard towards the goal!
Nanhai team goalkeeper Xie Fang turned over and rushed back. He also threw his body out, almost flying to the back corner of the goal.
But he was not able to stop this shot that was like a discharged cannonball!
Amidst the boos all over the sky, the football burst into flames, completely burning the net that the Nanhai fans had woven with sound waves, and blasted it into the goal!
"A world-class counterattack! This is a world-class counterattack! This is a world-class counterattack!!!" The commentator of Anton TV kept repeating this sentence, biting harder every time, and in the end he just gritted his teeth.
"Wang Guangwei, Hu Lai, Zhang Qinghuan, Hu Lai... the three of them connected together, and with one counterattack, they penetrated the entire stadium! From the door of Anton Flashing Star to the door of Lingnan Nanhai!" Commentator Lu Guanlin was also very excited.
"Beautiful——!!! This can definitely be elected as the best goal of the season for Flash Stars!"
Wang Yuan was in front of the TV when she heard a muffled sound coming from beside her. She turned around and saw that her husband had punched the wooden armrest of the sofa.
"...This may even become the best goal in the Chinese League One this season!" the Anton TV commentator asserted. "We all know what Zhang Qinghuan's physical condition is now, but he sprinted with all his strength to get out.
A bloody road... And Hu Lai lived up to all his previous efforts. This kick was like a fairy from heaven! The two of them worked together to complete this wonderful goal! One really dares to break out, and really dares to pass
!A man who really dares to run and shoot!"
Hu Lixin almost reflexively kneaded the cigarette box in his hand and the last cigarette left in it into a ball.
Then he heard a strange movement next to him, turned around and saw two highlights on his wife's cheeks, which were tear stains.
She bit her lip tightly, trying to suppress her cries.
"Cry if you want to. Holding it in is not good for your health..." Hu Lixin sighed.
Only then did Xie Lan burst into tears. From the night when her son ran away from home to now, day and night in the past two years, she has been constantly worried about her son, and the grievances and helplessness between her husband and son were all...
It turned into tears and burst out of my eyes.
The son who worried her has become a hero on the court.
Her husband, who had been stubborn with her son for nineteen years, was sitting next to her at this moment, watching her son's game with her.
This woman, who had spent all her efforts to carefully maintain her family of three, was finally able to unburden herself and let go.
Facing his wife who was crying profusely, Hu Lixin suddenly remembered that that night, his wife also left him while crying. At that time, he could only stand there and watch his wife's back disappear into the darkness where the street lights could not be found.
.
And now...
Hu Lixin raised his hand and hesitated for a moment, then gently placed it on his wife's shoulder.
