After the game started, although the Flash Stars were at their home court, they played very cautiously and mainly focused on defense. After losing the ball, they would quickly recover the half.
This is testing.
After all, this is the first time that this team has played against a Chinese Super League team in a real match.
Even if the opponent is ranked tenth in the Chinese Super League, they are still a Chinese Super League team and are genuine.
Moreover, Haihe Shuanggang is not the kind of team that only promoted to the Chinese Super League in the first two years. They have been in this level of the league since they were promoted to the Chinese Super League in 2000, and it has been 23 years now. Although the football team
The team's performance has always been mediocre, ranking in the middle of the pack for many years.
However, in the fiercely competitive Chinese Super League, being able to participate in the competition for 23 consecutive years is enough to illustrate the strength of Haihe Twin Ports.
So even though there were loud chants in the locker room before the game, everyone at Flash Star, both players and coaches, was very cautious.
Even though it was at their home court, they played as carefully as if they were on the road.
This test lasted for twenty minutes.
Flashing Star gradually discovered that the Haihe Duangport offensive was not as fierce as they imagined. If it were an attack of this level, their defenses would be able to withstand it.
This is what the defensive players think.
And on the offensive side...
In the 21st minute, Chen Xingyi used his speed on the left wing to pass the ball past Haihe Shuanggang's right back Jiang Rong.
When he used his speed to forcefully overtake and succeeded, huge cheers erupted from the stands of the Provincial Sports Center. Although this was only a breakthrough and could not threaten the Haihe Shuanggang goal, the cheers of the Flash Star fans were still there.
Deafening.
That Jiang Rong is not a substitute defender being rotated, but the main defender of Haihe Shuanggang!
"Facing Jiang Rong, the main full-back of the Haihe River Port, Chen Xingyi showed no sign of timidity. He attacked him whenever he was told! Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!" Anton Satellite TV's excited commentator's voice went up an octave.
Chen Xingyi, who broke through Jiang Rong, finally passed the football to the goal.
Hu Lai failed to grab the point, and the ball was pushed out by Haihe Shuanggang center back Fan Hongpeng.
Despite this, the stands of the Provincial Sports Center were filled with cheers and loud shouts.
In the first 20 minutes of the game, because Shining Star chose to contract and test their play, they were very passive on the scene. Naturally, Shining Star fans were not in high spirits. They had been worried that their team's goal would be breached. After all,
The opponent is a powerful Chinese Super League team...
Seeing Chen Xingyi's exciting breakthrough, the Shining Stars fans who had always been worried naturally released all their previously stored emotions. The cheers were as loud as if they were following the ball.
Although no goal was scored, this attack was of great significance to Flash Star.
The defensive end felt that Haihe Shuanggang's offensive pressure was not great, and the offensive end used this wonderful man-ball pass to prove that Haihe Shuanggang's Chinese Super League defense was not impeccable.
If this is the case, then there will be a fight.
Thus, the trial phase is over.
After Fan Hongpeng successfully cleared the ball and landed, he looked back at Hu Lai beside him.
To be honest, Jiang Rong's performance just now was indeed a bit embarrassing, but Flashing Star's offense still had to return to the center, and he would never let the kid next to him have a chance to get the ball.

"Fan Hongpeng's header is very good, and his strength is also very good. Hu Lai may not be able to take advantage in the header competition..." Chen Mo was discussing with Zhao Kangming on the Shining Star coaching bench.
"His frontal defensive ability is indeed good, but he is too bulky and turns slowly. That's why we will arrange tactics against him. It just so happens that we can use this game to see how the Trident performs against the Chinese Super League team."
Zhao Kangming crossed his legs on the coaching bench, not really worried about this problem.
Without Wei Daqun, there is only one Fan Hongpeng. The main central defender combination of Haihe Shuanggang is missing one, and the power is not as simple as being reduced by half.
Wei Daqun is more experienced and uses more brains when playing football. Fan Hongpeng relies on his good physical condition and prefers to use his body when defending instead of thinking much.
When playing against a defender like this, the tacit cooperation between the tridents will be used to make him dizzy.
This is the tactic given to Fan Hongpeng and Zhao Kangming before the game.
Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi and Zhang Qinghuan will not have such a clear division of labor. Chen Xingyi will not only be responsible for attacking, and Hu Lai will not only be responsible for waiting in front of the goal for his teammates to pass the ball to him. As for Zhang Qinghuan,
You won't just pass the ball to two people in the back.
When the time is right, the distance between the three of them will be closer, and they will be closely connected, and then focus on Fan Hongpeng's attack direction, constantly putting pressure on him, making him focus on one thing and the other.
Of course Zhao Kangming knew that Fan Hongpeng had excellent frontal defense and was physically strong, so he had no intention of letting Hu Lai challenge Fan Hongpeng in a duel.
A football match is not a medieval knightly duel, where one person, one horse and one spear, just charge at each other from a distance.
It requires some thinking.
To be honest, if Kuang Mingjian had brought Wei Daqun instead of Fan Hongpeng, Zhao Kangming would not have used this tactic, because for Wei Daqun, who is good at commanding the defense line, doing so by himself would have little effect.
But by chance, Kuang Mingjian asked Wei Daqun to rest and brought Fan Hongpeng with him. Perhaps Kuang Mingjian had also studied Hu Lai and felt that Fan Hongpeng's physical condition could completely crush Hu Lai?
※※※
Fan Hongpeng soon discovered that he didn't just need to defend Hu Lai.
Sometimes Hu Lai will not appear on his side, but will go to the young central defender Han Yan, who replaced Wei Daqun in the starting lineup for this game.
Han Yan is the team's substitute central defender. He is 25 years old this year. As a professional player, this age is not too young. But compared with the 29-year-old Fan Hongpeng and the 31-year-old Wei Daqun, he is still
It's a "young player".
Because of the two partners of Fan Hongpeng and Wei Daqun, and because he is over 23 years old and cannot enjoy the Football Association's U23 policy, he does not have many opportunities to play.
For a player like him who is neither up nor down, the FA Cup is one of the few opportunities to start.
In this FA Cup match, he was sent on the field by Coach Kuang.
When Hu Lai goes to find Han Yan, Chen Xingyi will come to confront Fan Hongpeng.
Sometimes, Zhang Qinghuan will also enter the penalty area, like a center.
But whether it's Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi, Zhang Qinghuan or Fan Hongpeng, they don't care.
In his eyes, these are just three little ones.
The tallest one is Chen Xingyi, who is 1.84 meters tall, but is too thin to withstand his pressure.
Zhang Qinghuan is 1.82 meters tall and is not a player with great physical fitness.
Not to mention the last Hu Lai, who is not even 1.8 meters tall, but he is just a younger brother in front of him.
If any one of these three people comes, in Fan Hongpeng's eyes, it's like giving it away for free.
But soon Fan Hongpeng discovered something was wrong.
Because these three people did not come up to fight him alone, but... a group fight!
When Zhang Qinghuan appeared in the middle, he was ready to intercept Zhang Qinghuan head-on. As a result, Zhang Qinghuan turned around and passed the football to Chen Xingyi. Chen Xingyi shot a long shot directly outside the penalty area and over the crossbar.
The next time Flashing Star attacked, it was Chen Xingyi who faced him.
When Chen Xingyi changed directions continuously and was already a little unsteady, he suddenly sent the football to the space in the ribs. Hu Lai shot directly from there. He was slightly on the right and was held by the team's goalkeeper Huang Anjie.
In arms.
Although no goals were scored, in Fan Hongpeng's view, every attack threatened the goal behind him.
Clearly, he was in trouble.
Seeing this scene in the coaching bench of Haihe Shuanggang, head coach Kuang Mingjian began to regret why it was Fan Hongpeng who brought Jincheng instead of Wei Daqun.
He didn't expect that the front three of Shining Star could cooperate so well.
Fan Hongpeng is not good at commanding the defense line. Wei Daqun usually does this kind of thing. He only needs to listen to Wei Daqun's command and then defend.
Now when he becomes the breakthrough point for the Flashing Star Trident's key attack, he is unable to direct the defense to help defend him, and naturally some loopholes appear around him.
Kuang Mingjian began to silently think about how to make adjustments.
He lowered his head and took out the magnetic tactical board, and used the magnet chess pieces to scratch around on the board, trying to think of how to deal with it.
At this moment, he heard the cheers from the stands suddenly getting louder.
At the same time, the assistant coach next to him shouted: "Holy shit, Chen Xingyi!"
He quickly raised his head and looked in the direction of his team's penalty area.
He saw Chen Xingyi's back, dribbling the ball and suddenly cutting in from the wing and dribbling horizontally at the front of the penalty area!
The captain of Haihe Shuanggang, midfielder Tong Xin stepped forward to steal the ball from Chen Xingyi, but Chen Xingyi shook it away with a fried meatball movement!
The cheers are louder!
At this time, Chen Xingyi has brought the football to the top of the penalty arc, and he can shoot directly!
But he didn't do that. Instead, he used the outside instep of his right foot to pass the football to Hu Lai in the middle of the penalty area.
Hu Lai, who had his back to the goal, received the ball and without waiting for Fan Hongpeng to come forward, he passed the ball directly to the left rib of the penalty area.
There, Zhang Qinghuan was cutting in from outside the penalty area.
Moreover, there was a huge gap there, and Jiang Rong did not recover it in time!
Perhaps it was because Chen Xingyi's behavior on the left side of Haihe Shuanggang just now made Jiang Rong feel that the offense could not reach his side, so he was always watching the show offline. When Chen Xingyi dribbled the ball to the middle, he thought It should have moved closer to the center, but after only moving two steps, the football was quickly passed from Chen Xingyi's feet to Hu Lai, and then Hu Lai stuffed it into the space in the ribs!
Fan Hongpeng had to be thankful that he didn't move so fast just now, so he didn't rush to Hu Lai's side immediately. Now he still had a chance to make up for it, so he quickly turned to Zhang Qinghuan and rushed up to block Zhang Qinghuan's shot.
As for Hu Lai, isn't there another central defender, Han Yan?
When Fan Hongpeng turned around and pounced on Zhang Qinghuan, he didn't see the scene behind him.
After passing the ball, Chen Xingyi did not stop outside the penalty area to watch the show, but resolutely pushed forward and entered the penalty area. His move immediately attracted Han Yan's attention. So Han Yan did not go up to defend Hu Lai, but instead He stood in front of Chen Xingyi - he was really worried that Chen Xingyi was going to hit the wall in a one-two with Hu Lai. As for the defense against Hu Lai, wasn't there Fan Hongpeng and Brother Fan?
As a result, Hu Lai turned around and passed the football to Zhang Qinghuan on the other side!
Haihe Shuanggang captain Tong Xin, who failed to defend Chen Xingyi outside the penalty area, turned around and saw Hu Lai passing the football to Zhang Qinghuan, so his attention also turned to Zhang Qinghuan along with the football.
As a result, when he saw Zhang Qinghuan receiving the ball, he paused, causing Fan Hongpeng to rush forward, but then passed the football back with his left foot!
Only then did Tongxin realize the problem - Fan Hongpeng was guarding against Zhang Qinghuan, but what about Hu Lai?!
He turned around and ran into the penalty area.
It's too late.
He saw Hu Lai swinging his right leg against the rolling football near the penalty spot.
There is not a single defensive player beside him!
Han Yan, who was supposed to replace Fan Hongpeng, was entangled by Chen Xingyi!
"Opportunity to shine! Hu Lai——!!" Anton TV commentator yelled.
The cheers in the stands of the Provincial Sports Center were so loud that they completely drowned out other sounds.
The cheers when Chen Xingyi broke through inside and passed Tong Xin were completely incomparable to what they are now!
For Hu Lai, this is a perfect opportunity.
Some people stared nervously at the figure in the center of the penalty area, fearing that he would waste the best opportunity since the start of the Flash Star game...
But to be honest, people who can think this way must rarely watch Hu Lai's games.
Haihe Shuanggang goalkeeper Huang Anjie, who followed the football to Zhang Qinghuan's side, turned back with the football. While turning back, he saw Hu Lai swinging his right leg, so he jumped sideways even though he was not fully in position.
Hu Lai's straight right foot hit the ball on the instep!
Bang!
The football shot straight over the goal like a cannonball!
Huang Anjie, who rushed towards the turf, was destined to be unable to save the ball. He could only pray that Hu Lai's kick would directly knock him off the plane!
But this is Hu Lai!
The football hit the lower edge of the crossbar, made a crisp sound, and bounced into the goal!
"Beautiful!! Beautiful!! Beautiful!!!" the commentator of Anton TV Sports Channel raised his arms and shouted hoarsely in the commentary box. "Hulai!! The first score was opened in the 33rd minute, and Flashing Star took the lead in the game.
Chinese Super League team Haihe Shuanggang! The tacit cooperation between him, Chen Xingyi and Zhang Qinghuan tore open the defense of Haihe Shuanggang in two or three times! Whether it was Fan Hongpeng, Han Yan, Tong Xin, including goalkeeper Huang Anjie,
They were all fooled around by the three of them!"
He also said something later, but he couldn't hear it clearly. The cheers at the scene were like a dense thunderstorm directly covering the Provincial Sports Center!
Every Flash Star fan in the stands jumped up, and when they fell down again, the ground seemed to be shaking!
Hu Lai, who scored the goal, ran towards the corner flag area. Amidst the roar of the mountain and the tsunami, he did not make his signature celebration move. Instead, he turned his back to the camera lens, raised his hands, and pointed with his thumb down to point to the jersey number and the number on his back.
