After Shining Star tied the total score at 3:3, the situation of the game gradually began to turn towards Shining Star.
The Stars fans in the stands sang and shouted non-stop. Only when the Dashun Golden Arrow players got the ball did the sounds turn into boos.
Regardless of whether Shining Star can win the FA Cup in the end, Shining Star fans will accompany their team and fight until the last minute.
The players on the court of Flashing Star were also very motivated and full of momentum, constantly launching attacks into the Golden Arrow half.
It stands to reason that if they play like this, the defensive space behind them will definitely be used by Dashun Golden Arrow to counterattack from Flash Star.
But in fact, it is difficult for the Dashun Golden Arrow to actually hit the counterattack.
They were completely overwhelmed by Flash Star's offensive and could not hold their heads up.
"This is really unbelievable... To be honest, before watching today's game, I couldn't imagine that a Chinese League One team could beat the Chinese Super League runner-up so badly..." He Feng from the studio behind
sighed.
Ten seconds before he said this, Qin Lin had just shot a long shot from outside the penalty area, forcing Dashun Jinjian's midfielder and captain Chai Shun to use his body to block the eye-catching defense. As a result, he was suffocated to his chest and fell to the ground without crawling.
stand up.
The game was interrupted as a result.
The Golden Arrow players gathered around their captain, looking down at him. To be honest, this scene was a little ominous.
The referee squatted down and asked Chai Shun if he could continue to play and whether the medical staff should be allowed to play.
The Shining Star fans in the stands were booing regardless of whether Chai Shun was deliberately delaying time. After all, the score of 3:3 was favorable to Golden Arrow, and they defended this score until the end.
If so, the championship belongs to them.
Of course, He Feng and Yan Kang would not think that Chai Shun was deliberately delaying time. After all, with Chai Shun's reputation in Chinese football, he would not do such a thing. Someone else should do it to delay time.
They simply thought that Chai Shun, the captain of the Dashun Golden Arrow, was knocked down by Qin Lin's kick from the flashing star and was unable to recover for a long time. It was really symbolic.
You must know that Qin Lin is a full five years older than Chai Shun. The two of them can still compete on the same field, and Qin Lin does not fall behind in the confrontation with Chai Shun, which is embarrassing.
It stands to reason that Chai Shun should be better than Qin Lin in terms of physical ability and mentality.
But looking at his appearance, all you can see is embarrassment.
These two people are simply the epitome of these two teams.
When Chai Shun got up from the ground with his hands on his chest, Qin Lin went up and patted his former national team midfield partner on the shoulder as a sign of friendship.
A competition is a competition, and human relationships should not be ruined because of this.
But on the other hand, just because we have a good relationship, it doesn't mean we can be lenient in competition.
※※※
At the beginning, Dashun Golden Arrow faced the fierce attack of Flash Star, and they may still be a little unconvinced, especially the offensive players, hoping to take advantage of Flash Star's attack to counterattack them.
Or they could just wait for Flashing Star's offensive to weaken, then press forward aggressively, regain the initiative, and completely suppress Flashing Star's offensive. By then, whether it's scoring another goal or controlling the situation, they can advance and retreat freely.
However, as the game progressed, the Golden Arrow players gradually discovered that Flashing Star's offensive was like an endless wave, one wave after another, and they didn't know when they would be exhausted.
As a result, their mentality began to change, a change that they themselves may not even realize.
They began to plan to retreat on defense and defend the score of 3:3, which would also allow them to win the championship.
Hu Lai, who scored two goals, was closely guarded by Golden Arrow, especially Jin Yong. When defending him, the center back's actions were obviously tougher and even rougher than in the first half.
Hu Lai ran out of the penalty area to receive the ball. When Qin Lin passed the football to him, Jin Yong also rushed up and kicked the football out before Hu Lai.
If Hu Lai hadn't been able to dodge quickly, it might not have been as simple as just scooping the ball out.
Huge boos immediately erupted from the stands.
Hu Lai, who was avoiding, turned to look at Jin Yong, who was staring at him fiercely.
Hu Lai guessed that this should be the order given by Wang Xianke to Jin Yong during the halftime break. Otherwise, why would the same person's defense of him in the first half be so different from that in the second half?
So he turned his attention to Wang Xianke on the sidelines.
This guy is still sitting on the coach's bench with his legs crossed and showing off.
I knew you were such a dishonest bitch... but luckily I did!
※※※
"Yeah!" Xie Lan in front of the TV exclaimed after seeing Hu Lai barely dodge Jin Yong's flying shovel. "It's too dangerous!"
Hu Lixin sat next to him and snorted: "This should be deliberately arranged by Wang Xianke."
"What a bastard!" Xie Lan scolded. "Then there's nothing we can do?"
Hu Lixin shook his head: "Wang Xianke may be hoping to scare Hu Lai away with this kind of defense. As long as Hu Lai is not so active, doesn't go to the goal, and doesn't fight for the ball with the opponent's defender, then the chance of injury should be reduced.
"
"If you don't go to the goal and compete for the ball, how can you play? Just get off the field!"
"Maybe he just hopes that Zhao Kangming will replace Hu Lai."
Xie Lan looked at the TV screen and gritted his teeth and said: "What a turtle..."
※※※
"Are you going to end up in Hu Lai's place?"
Chen Mo came forward, walked to Zhao Kangming's side and asked.
"The other party is obviously targeting Hu Lai deliberately. I'm afraid..."
He didn't finish his words, but Zhao Kangming understood what he meant.
Zhao Kangming did not give an answer immediately. He frowned and thought about this question.
If Hu Lai is replaced, it means that Flash Star will give up the competition for the FA Cup championship. It is not that only Hu Lai has the ability to help the team win the championship, but he is an iconic figure.
Keeping him on the court means that the team's goal is to win the championship, because he can score goals and is the team's arrow. Keeping him on the court means that the team hopes to score goals.
But if he is replaced, it will be equivalent to telling others that we should not attack.
With the current score, if you don't pursue more goals, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving up the pursuit of the FA Cup championship?
Seeing that the team's morale is high, the fans in the stands are united and cheering for the team.
Under such circumstances, replacing Hu Lai... wouldn't it be like pouring cold water on a hot iron ingot?
So Zhao Kangming was troubled in his heart.
He doesn't want to live up to this enthusiasm, and he really wants to win the championship.
But at the same time, he was also worried that Wang Xianke's Dashun Golden Arrow's tactics against Hu Lai would bring uncontrollable risks...
He looked up at the game time. In the fast-paced attack of Flash Star just now, the game time passed very quickly. It was already the 70th minute.
There are still twenty minutes left before the end of the game.
"Wait a minute, Old Chen, wait a minute." Zhao Kangming said to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo knew that Zhao Kangming must have made some kind of choice, so he just nodded and said nothing more.
The two of them stood side by side on the sidelines, watching the game going on in the stadium.
※※※
When Hu Lai was about to catch the ball and shoot, he felt the pressure from Jin Yong, the central defender of Dashun Golden Arrow. This pressure made it difficult for him to maintain his balance. He shot the football out the moment he was about to fall.
.
But this time the football he shot was ridiculously high.
Hu Lai, who fell to the ground after finishing the shot, raised his arms to signal to the referee that Jin Yong had fouled him.
The huge boos from the Flash Star fans in the stands also instantly sounded.
They thought Jin Yong committed a foul in the penalty area.
But the referee didn't see it that way. He just signaled Dashun Jin Arrow's side to take a goal kick.
"Damn it!" Yan Yan in the stands cursed, "That Jin Yong is such a thief!"
Also as a central defender, Yan Yan saw Jin Yong raising his hands when he was putting pressure on Hu Lai, indicating that his hands were not moving, and then relying solely on the strength of his waist and lower body, he pushed Hu Lai's shot.
, causing Hu Lai, who had nowhere to rely on at the time, to lose his balance.
It is indeed difficult to call this a foul. It can only be said that Jin Yong has rich experience.
If the defender of Flashing Star played like this, Yan Yan might even praise him for playing smart...
But now he just wants to call Jin Yong a "chicken thief".
"Sigh, the gap in height and strength is still too big..." Wu Yue shook his head, "This Jin Yong is more ferocious than in the first half. If he keeps playing like this, I'm afraid Hu Lai won't be able to last long..."
"No! Believe Hu Lai! He is..."
"The Chosen Son, right? You are too awesome, Yan Yan. How can there be any Chosen Son... Hu Lai's previous performance was indeed very good, but this does not mean that he can solve all problems. I think you are
Praise him and kill him." Wu Yue said to Yan Yan seriously, not caring about the fact that he was single and weak.
Surprisingly, Yan Yan did not refute him this time. After listening to Wu Yue's words, he just stared at the court without saying a word.
For a long time, Wu Yue thought that Yan Yan was autistic, but he suddenly said: "I am not willing to give up. I have reached this point in the competition and said that I want to give up. I am not willing to give up."
"I'm not willing to do it either." Wu Yue spread his hands, "Who can be willing to do it? You have Hu Lai, and I have Team Wang in Flashing Star. But sometimes you know that giving up is also tolerant to them, and don't push them too hard.
Already..."
"Wu Yue, do you know why after Wang Guangwei, your Jiaxiang High School couldn't beat our Dongchuan Middle School in the Anton Cup?" Yan Yan suddenly interrupted him and asked him something that seemed to have nothing to do with this game.
Yes, there are even some humiliating issues.
Wu Yue clicked his tongue: "Yan Yan, you are so boring. I really do it for Hu Lai. What does this have to do with the competition between our schools?"
"It does matter." Yan Yan said seriously. "Do you think we are putting pressure on Hu Lai and pushing him too hard?"
"Is not it?"
"Of course not. This is not that we are forcing Hu Lai, nor are we putting pressure on him, but his own wishes. He wants the championship, he wants to win, so he tries his best. He will not feel that it is a concession.
The burden he can't bear, you call it pressure, but he calls it motivation."
Wu Yue was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "This is Hu Lai's excellent quality, what does it have to do with your Dongchuan Middle School?"
"Because all of us who came out of the Dongchuan Middle School football team think so. That is not pressure, but the motivation that urges us to keep running. Training is hard and the pressure is great. Some people want to escape. It is human nature.
.But in the Dongchuan Middle School football team, we never run away, we take the initiative to face it. Have you ever seen a team where everyone is rushing to practice more, for fear that if they don’t practice more, they will be looked down upon by others?”
Facing Yan Yan's question, Wu Yue was speechless and couldn't answer. He had indeed never seen it before, and it was not like this in Jiaxiang High School.
Yan Yan pointed at himself and the people behind him: "This is what our Dongchuan Middle School football team is like."
※※※
"Director Zhao should replace Hu Lai. This is too dangerous..."
"But doesn't replacing Hulay mean we give up a goal?"
The Shining Star youth team players in the stands were discussing the situation on the field, and the focus fell on Hu Lai.
There are some different opinions on whether Hu Lai should stay on the court or be replaced.
"I'm not saying that everyone else can't do it, but obviously if Hulay is on the court, our team will have more confidence and direction when attacking. If Hulay is replaced, how can we score goals? How can we win if we can't score?
?”
"It doesn't matter if you can't win... It was very difficult to win the championship. The game ended like this. Even if we lose in the end, I think it is an explanation to everyone..."
Xia Xiaoyu suddenly spoke: "No, I don't agree. In the first half, I thought the same way. Although I was a little unwilling, the reality is that it is difficult for us to win, so if we really can't win the championship, I will accept it.
Result. But now I don’t think so... At this point in the game, we have been chasing until we equalized the total score. Now the offensive is so fierce, it is finally possible to see hope. If you want me to give up, I can’t give up.”
As a leader in the youth team, Xia Xiaoyu's words silenced many people, but it was not that no one opposed him.
"Xiaoyu, I also want to win. But I'm worried that if we continue playing like this, Hu Lai will get injured. You have to choose between a Football Association Cup champion and a healthy Hu Lai. Which one do you choose?"
Xia Xiaoyu shook his head: "I want them all."
Some of the teammates laughed.
"Hey, Xiaoyu, I won't bring you like this!"
"I'm serious, I want the championship, and I don't think Hu Lai will be knocked down so easily. He is so cunning, how could he be easily injured?" Xia Xiaoyu said, looking at Hu Lai on the court.
"Hey Xiaoyu, don't you admire Hu Lai the most? Wouldn't it be inappropriate to use the word 'cunning' to describe him?"
Xia Xiaoyu smiled: "Ha, no, on the contrary, 'cunning' is the highest praise for him, and Captain Hu will be very happy after hearing this!"
※※※
Hu Lai originally ran forward, but when he turned around and saw Zhang Qinghuan holding the ball, he suddenly stopped and headed back to the center.
At the same time, Zhang Qinghuan also sent the football to the middle.
Jin Yong, the main center back of Dashun Golden Arrow, quickly caught up and squeezed Hu Lai with his body, trying to make him lose his balance.
But this time, Hu Lai withstood Jin Yong's impact at the moment he took the shot and completed the shot!
Although he fell to the ground immediately after finishing the shot, it didn't matter because he shot a very high-quality shot!
The football went straight to the lower left corner of the goal. If goalkeeper Zheng Donglin hadn't concentrated and made a wonderful save in time, the goal might have gone in!
"Oh!!" Anton Satellite TV's commentator shouted regretfully, "Zheng Donglin once again saved Dashun Jinjian's goal! Hu Lai's shot was of high quality! Although he was closely defended by Jin Yong, he
I still stubbornly found a suitable opportunity to take a shot!"
Jin Yong looked back at the goalkeeper Zheng Donglin who had fallen to the ground. He had almost pushed the football away with his fingertips. For a moment, Jin Yong almost thought that Zheng Donglin could not save the football...
"Hey, brother, do you know?"
Just when Jin Yong felt slightly scared, Hu Lai's voice sounded behind his head.
He turned back and found that Hu Lai had climbed up from the ground. While patting the soil on the straw mat on his jersey, he lowered his head and said: "When I was in high school, the school team coach gave me special strength training. He immediately lifted me up.
I was knocked out of the air. At that time, I thought he was targeting me deliberately, but after I came to professional football, I discovered that the physical confrontation of professional players is almost at that level... Fortunately, I have practiced in advance, brother,
Your little strength is no longer of use to me!"
Hearing what Hu Lai said, Jin Yong's expression changed, and then he lowered his voice and asked, "What strength do I have?"
Hu Lai raised a palm and spread his fingers: "Brother, do you know how far our school team coach knocked me out? Five meters, a full five meters. Brother, do you think you can knock me out five meters?"
"
After saying that, he looked Jin Yong up and down.
Because of the huge height difference between the two, Hu Lai's movements of looking up and down were very large and obvious.
After Jin Yong heard Hu Lai's words and saw this action, blood suddenly rushed to his head.
As a representative of a strong central defender, this was the first time that Jin Yong heard someone trying to challenge him in terms of strength...
And this challenger looks like a skinny monkey.
He felt insulted.
※※※
Three minutes later, when Zhang Qinghuan got the ball from the wing, he saw Hu Lai running into the penalty area and motioning for him to pass the ball to him.
But in his position, let alone the goal, there is still a little distance from the penalty area.
Now he has to pass the ball by himself. Does he intend to header the ball directly on the line of the penalty area?
Although he had some doubts in his heart, Zhang Qinghuan still followed Hu Lai's instructions and passed the football.
Then he saw Hu Lai sprinting in the middle and then leaping up, running towards the football.
At the same time, Jin Yong, the center back of Dashun Golden Arrow who was guarding him, also jumped up, or rather...jumped towards him.
Then the two people bumped into each other!
The football flew over them, and no one hit it.
Hu Lai screamed and flew out of the air, fell, and rolled in the penalty area!
Zhang Qinghuan's eyes widened.
There were loud boos in the stands!
"This is a foul! There is no doubt that this is a foul!!" the Anton TV commentator shouted, while he stared at the referee.
Hu Lai fell in the penalty area, will this be a penalty kick?
He expected the referee to give a positive answer!
However, after the referee blew the whistle, he did not point to the penalty spot. Instead, he quickly ran to a place outside the penalty area and stopped, then pointed at his feet, indicating to everyone that this was the location of the foul, and any penalty was awarded here.
ball!
Hu Lai, who was still rolling on the ground before, saw the referee's move, stood up from the ground, and then hit the ground with his fist in frustration.
It was almost, almost a penalty kick!
He was very unhappy.
Jin Yong's eyes widened when he saw this scene, and he stared at the figure slowly getting up from the ground with incredible eyes.
He suddenly understood why Hu Lai had said those words to him before, and why he had deliberately angered himself...
And he almost became the team's sinner!
"Golden Arrow No. 4 Jin Yong, yellow card warning!"
This voice pulled him out of his fear and shock, and he realized that the referee was holding a yellow card in his hand and holding it up in front of him!
Since Mao Junzheng received a yellow card for a foul in the first half to prevent Chen Xingyi from breaking through, now the two main center backs on the Dashun Golden Arrow defense are both carrying a yellow card...
