What made Sun He very frightened was that when he got up the next day, he found that the "Lingnan Evening News" had reported this matter.
He had a fluke before and thought that Mr. Zhang would not play Douyin, so it was normal that he did not see the videos on Douyin.
But now even the Evening News has reported it. Mr. Zhang doesn’t read Douyin, but what if he reads the Evening News?
Before the afternoon game started, he had been in this uneasy mood.
Every time the phone rang, he would think it was Mr. Zhang calling to ask him to accuse him.
As a result, he didn't receive a call from Mr. Zhang until it was time to leave for the stadium.
Maybe... maybe Mr. Zhang was too busy today, or maybe it was because he was so annoyed by the media harassment during this period that Mr. Zhang didn't read the newspaper news?
Sun He explained this to himself in his mind.
It wasn't until he saw Mr. Zhang on the rostrum of Nanshan Stadium that he didn't ask him about Hu Lai. Instead, he patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him to sit down. Sun He was relieved.
It seems that Mr. Zhang really didn’t watch the news...
He sat on the rostrum and noticed that Mr. Zhang's seat was next to him.
It's just that Mr. Zhang left the table to chat with others and was not at his seat.
This arrangement...
Although Sun He knew that he was Mr. Zhang's person, he did not expect that Mr. Zhang would value him and arrange himself next to him.
This made Sun He feel a little flattered, but at the same time he was also a little uneasy - given the trouble Mr. Zhang was encountering now, but he was so close to Mr. Zhang, would he be in trouble?
But he thought again, what trouble did Mr. Zhang encounter? It was nothing more than some rumors in the media.
Zhao Kangming and Mr. Zhang didn’t deal with this matter. It’s not like everyone didn’t know about it before, so why didn’t they mention it?
Isn't it because Zhao Kangming was far away in Andong Jincheng at that time and couldn't get along with Mr. Zhang?
But now Zhao Kangming leads Flashing Star to challenge Poseidon, and the conflict between the two of them has reappeared in people's sight.
The media always needs to create some stunts.
I believe that with the end of this game, no one will mention those things again.
Mr. Zhang naturally feels at ease. As someone close to Mr. Zhang, if I fully support Mr. Zhang at this time, I believe that Mr. Zhang will not treat him badly when the matter is over.
Isn't it because I put myself on the rostrum to watch the game this time because I stood firm during this period?
In Sun He's opinion, the only thing that could make the situation worse is that Poseidon would be eliminated by Flash Star at home.
In the context of failure, all problems will be magnified. Only in this case will Mr. Zhang really suffer from pressure.
But the question is...how could Poseidon, the sixth-placed team in the Chinese Super League, lose to the Chinese League One team at home?
There must be a limit to joking!
Thinking of this, Sun He settled down and sat down next to Mr. Zhang, waiting for the game to start.

Chu Yifan and his three roommates have already found the seats on the tickets. The four of them are next to each other, and even better, they are in the first row of the stands behind the goal, which makes it easier for them to hang the banners.
On the railing.
Very eye-catching.
In this way, if Hu Lai really scores a goal, they only need to jump over the billboard and run through the runway area behind the goal to reach directly under the banner and interact with them.
"There are not many away fans coming. No wonder we can get tickets from Flash Star so easily." After hanging the banner on the railing, the boss in the dormitory, Lao Li, looked around at the stands behind him.
This stand is reserved for visiting team fans.
But the surrounding home team fans have almost filled the home team stands, while the away team stands are still mostly empty.
"It's an away game. Let's talk about a game that is destined to be lost. How many fans are willing to spend that money to come? Those who come have to be sponsored by the club." Chu Yifan said.
"It doesn't matter if there are fewer people, we will be more conspicuous and easier to be seen." Lao Wang checked the knots again to make sure they were not loose.
The first level of the stand is more than two meters above the ground. If the banner falls, it will be difficult to pick it up.
The third oldest person in the dormitory, Zhao, took out his mobile phone to take photos and scrolled through Douyin.
Then he exclaimed: "The information we broke has been released!"
The other three roommates immediately joined in.
"How to say?"
"let me see!"
"Da Chu, you are going to be famous. Now everyone knows that you are Hu Lai's senior and captain!"
Chu Yifan didn't care about this. He asked Lao Zhao: "Click on the comment area and see what the comments say."
Lao Zhao clicked on the comment area, and the first hot comment popped up: "Sun He is a god assist! I even wonder if he was placed undercover by Poseidon by Flashing Star, just to help Flashing Star get Hu Lai cheaply! However,
Let me tell you, Hu Lai is truly the 'Chosen One'! He is such a blessing in disguise! If he had stayed in Poseidon, he might as well go to Flashing Star!"
"Hmm..." Chu Yifan said after seeing this hot comment, "I think it was posted by that guy Yan Yan."

Yan Yan took his roommates and classmates and saw the middle-aged man again in the bar where he often went to watch football. He was very curious: "Hey, uncle, don't you work? You came to the bar to watch football on Thursday afternoon?"
"
The middle-aged man glanced at the classmates behind him and said with a smile: "Aren't you in class?"
"It's August 31st, uncle, school hasn't started yet, what classes are you going to take?" Yan Yan looked at his uncle with a look that looked like a fool.
The uncle patted his forehead: "Oh, I haven't been to school for so long that I don't even remember the time."
Then he pointed to the empty seat next to him: "Come and sit."
Yan Yan was not polite, put away his phone, and sat directly next to the uncle, while his classmates also found their own seats and sat down.
Before they could say anything, the uncle raised his arm and said, "I'll cover the expenses of the little brothers today."
"Holy shit, the boss is awesome!" the college students howled excitedly.
Yan Yan turned to look at his uncle: "Uncle, we haven't made a bet yet."
"Haha, no need to bet." The uncle smiled. "I'm happy to."
Yan Yan thought for a while and decided not to explore why the uncle was so rich. He turned his attention to the projection screen. The signal for the game had been transmitted above, and the players from both sides were warming up on the court.
The scene was very noisy. It could be seen from the live broadcast that the stands were almost full of people. As far as the eye could see, everything was a sky blue ocean - that is the color of the Poseidon Football Team's home jersey.
"A FA Cup semi-final can actually attract so many people..." He was speechless.
"Poseidon hopes to win the FA Cup this year, so of course the fans are enthusiastic. Besides, this game has a gimmick." The uncle said, taking out his mobile phone and showing the Tik Tok video to Yan Yan, "Are you Hu?
Lai’s teammate and classmate, do you know about this?”
To his surprise, Yan Yan shook his head: "No, I don't know. Hu Lai never told me about this."
"Then what do you think..."
"But I believe in Hu Lai. I think this must have happened. That Sun He must have said such things to Hu Lai." Yan Yan stood firm.
The uncle smiled: "Okay, I knew you would say that. You always believe in him."
Yan Yan scratched his head: "He is worthy of trust."
Seeing what Yan Yan said, the uncle suddenly came up with an idea and asked: "Since you believe in him so much, do you think he will score a goal in this game? I'm not talking about winning the game, I'm just saying
Score a goal in the game.”
"Uncle, you don't have to ask this question, you can definitely score a goal! How can you slap Sun He in the face if you can't score?" Yan Yan was full of confidence.
"Are you so confident? One of Poseidon's main central defenders is Liu Yan from the National Olympics, and the other Jin Zaikun is the central defender of the Korean national team. How is Hu Lai going to score goals under the defense of these two people?"
Yan Yan spread his hands: "How do I know this? Is that something that the head coach of Flash Star should consider? I just need to have confidence in Hu Lai. Anyway, I think Hu Lai can definitely score, but how can I score?
have no idea."
The uncle smiled and shook his head: "You are a bit arrogant..."
Yan Yan: "Uncle, how about we make another bet?"
The uncle waved his hand quickly: "I don't want to bet, I've already invited you, what else are you betting on?"
"You will invite us after the bet?"
"You kid, don't go too far!"

"Why didn't Xie Lan come to work this afternoon?" In the office, Sister Wang looked at the empty office desk and asked the person next to her.
"Hi, Sister Xie's son has a very important game in the afternoon. She took leave and went home to watch the game..." someone in the office explained.
When Sister Wang heard this, she was furious: "I didn't even go to class just to watch a game?! Can such a fake director approve?!"
Hearing her words, someone sneered: "What can't be approved? Ever since Sister Xie gave her son's signed photo to the director, the director has turned a blind eye to this kind of thing. Besides,
, It doesn’t matter if Sister Xie quits her job, the people in this class are meant to be dawdling, so what difference does missing half a day have?”
Sister Wang was very unhappy: "This is too blatant!"
No one in the office paid attention to her.
Someone quietly put on headphones to prevent the sound of the game on the mobile phone from leaking...

"Hey Lao Fan, why are you standing guard here today?" A colleague came to the security booth and saw Lao Fan standing outside in a security uniform, and asked strangely. "Isn't it Lao Hu's fault?"
"He and I have taken a break. He has a day off today and I will have a day off tomorrow." Lao Fan stood outside and said without looking back.
"why?"
"His son has a competition today!"
"what match?"
"We are playing the Chinese Super League team in the semi-finals of the Football Association Cup."
"If the Chinese League One is playing against the Chinese Super League, isn't that a guaranteed loss?"
"You have to watch even if you lose. After all, it's his son's game."
"That's right... Sigh, what do you think Lao Hu is doing? His son is so promising, yet he still has to stand guard here like us. He can't make much money and still suffers..." the colleague sighed. In the security industry,
It's really not easy to do. When faced with the difficulties faced by some owners, you can only scold them without retorting, otherwise you'll be prepared not to do this job.
"Who says it isn't?"
"You didn't persuade him?"
"Can I persuade you? Let me tell you, in fact, the Water Margin is not one hundred and eight generals, but one hundred and nine generals. He, Hu Lixin, is the one hundred and ninth general - Aoaojuan (general)! Jianguai
I'm too lazy to talk about him!" Lao Fan said it as if he was angry. (Note: "巷 egg犊" and "犟guaguai" both mean "strong temper" in dialect)
His colleagues laughed.

Xie Lan was sitting in front of the TV, next to her husband Hu Lixin. On the coffee table in front of them were peanut and melon seed candies, two cups of tea and a pack of cigarettes.
The commentator He Feng's voice came from the TV: "...In another FA Cup semi-final that ended yesterday, Wang Xianke's Dashun Golden Arrow eliminated the Shanhai Mariners he had previously coached and advanced to the final first. This book
The golden arrow of the season seems to be heading towards the goal of 'double championship'..."
"Lao Hu, do you think our son can reach the finals?"
Hu Lixin was a little absent-minded today, obviously perfunctory: "I don't know..."
Xie Lan felt that her husband was perfunctory and was a little dissatisfied: "You can analyze it."
"How do I analyze this?" Hu Lixin braced himself to deal with his wife, "I want to tell the truth. In terms of strength comparison, it is almost impossible for Flashing Star to defeat Poseidon. You must also say that 'football is round'. Don't you just
Do you hope Flash Star will advance to the finals?”
"Isn't it bad to be in the finals?"
"Is this a good thing? Is this a matter of whether it can go in? The reason why Haihe Shuanggang lost to Flash Star in the last round was because they underestimated the enemy. Then look at Poseidon's starting lineup today, does it mean that they underestimated the enemy?" Hu
Lixin's tone was obviously impatient.
Xie Lan also felt that her husband was right, but his tone... seemed like he didn't want to talk to her.
"Then you can't say it properly?"
Hu Lixin: "Why didn't I say it properly?"
"Okay, okay, let's not talk anymore..." Xie Lan rolled his eyes and muttered: "It's really boring to talk to you..."
Hu Lixin wanted to open his mouth and ask her who was the loser, but he really didn't want to argue with his wife right now, so he chose to pretend not to hear, and then looked at the TV screen in trance.
"The game is about to start. Let's go to a commercial first and come back later..."

"...I know there are many voices and controversies before this game. But no matter how the media hypes it, no matter what others say, I hope you can forget those things and focus on the game itself. Yes, the opponent
They are sixth in the Chinese Super League, but that's it." Zhao Kangming spread his hands. "The league ranking cannot prove anything, especially it cannot prove that they will definitely win. We spent half a month preparing for this game, even
Because of this, we lost the league and were under tremendous pressure. For what? Is it to come here to tell others that the Chinese League One team will definitely not be able to beat the Chinese Super League team?"
"No!!"
Some players in the locker room responded loudly.
"Of course not!" Hu Lai jumped up and said loudly, "It's to tell others that you must get back what you have lost with your own hands!"
He seemed to be making a fool of himself, but no one laughed at him this time.
Because he spoke out what all the players felt.
When Director Zhao was kicked out by Poseidon Club, did anyone consider how unwilling he was? He played and coached here, serving for nearly twenty years. He put in so much hard work in the Poseidon Club’s youth training, and he is still a member of Poseidon Club.
A first-class youth training camp in the country has been built.
As a result, because he was different from the club's philosophy, he was driven away mercilessly by the club, like a dog.
So for today’s Director Zhao, was Hu Lai wrong?
No!
We must use practical actions to prove to Poseidon Club that their original decision was wrong and make them regret their original decision!
Zhao Kangming looked at Hu Lai and thought that it was really hard for this kid to hold back his breath until now... He must really want to perform well in this game and prove to that Sun He that he was wrong, so wrong!
Thinking of this, he waved his hand: "Others say we can't win, go and prove them wrong!"
The Flash Star players stood up and rushed out of the locker room.
※※※
PS, let me tell you some good news: there will be three updates tomorrow and the day after tomorrow for two consecutive days, and this game will be completed in one go.
In addition, the monthly tickets will be doubled starting from the 28th the day after tomorrow. I hope everyone will save up their monthly tickets and vote again when the monthly tickets are doubled!
This month’s goal is to be above the top 50 in the monthly ticket rankings, the higher the better, there is no cap, ha!
