"Okay, after the commercial, welcome back. The first half of the Super Cup can be said to be relatively dull. The South China Tigers had a great advantage and controlled the situation. The Flashing Star only showed its performance at the beginning of the game.
Their energy was suppressed by the South China Tigers... So Yan Kang, what do you think of the performance of these two teams in the first half?"
He Feng was sitting in the studio at the back and turned to ask the commentator next to him, Yan Kang, his partner for many years.
Yan Kang smiled and said: "Actually, if you just look at the statistics of the first half, you will think that the Stars played better. When the South China Tigers were fully dominant, they only conceded one goal. How did they do it?"
After laughing, he said seriously: "But to be honest, I think the gap between Flash Star and South China Tigers is definitely not just as small as this one goal. In the second half, South China Tigers' advantage will be even greater, when they score the second goal
By then, there should be no suspense about the outcome of this game. What Zhao Kangming should consider is how to use this game to let his players learn more. For Flash Star, this is a valuable lesson in advance.
The preview class can let them know what the upcoming Chinese Super League will be like. From this point of view, they are much luckier than last year's Hexi Daqin and Capital Xiangyun..."
He Feng echoed: "That's right. The Chinese League One and the Chinese Super League are completely different. Preparing for the Chinese Super League with the mentality and thoughts of playing in the Chinese League One will cause problems. Flash Star can use the Super Cup to inoculate the players.
To some extent, you can adapt to the differences between the Chinese Super League and the Chinese Premier League in advance. Maybe this is the biggest significance of this Super Cup to the Stars, right?"

In the Flash Star locker room, Zhao Kangming did not criticize the team for conceding a goal in the first half, even if the conceding goal was somewhat related to the team's defensive mistakes.
After everyone came in, his first words were praise.
"You did a good job. We only conceded one goal in the first half. Of course, conceding the goal would put us in a relatively disadvantageous situation. But our performance after conceding the goal was also very good and we did not let our opponents expand the lead. Now
Let's talk about what to do in the second half..."
Facing the starting eleven, Zhao Kangming raised a finger: "The first is defense. What lessons can we learn from conceding the ball in the first half? When the opponent attacked, we were compressed too flat.
It made it easy for the opponent to control the space outside our penalty area, and they lost the ball precisely because they controlled the second point there. So in the second half, we had to withstand their attack and prevent them from getting the second point.
Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi, and Li Rong, the three of you have to push it out a little further."
The three people whose names were called nodded.
“You also stayed too far back in the first half, which prevented our counterattack. You can’t do this in the second half. Even if our defense is tight, you can’t stay too far in..."

Lin Zhiyuan sat in his seat in the locker room, spread his legs, crossed his hands on his chest, leaned back against the wall, and frowned.
His head coach Lechmann was speaking quickly in German. After finishing a sentence, he looked at the translator, who then spoke what he just said in Mandarin.
Lin Zhiyuan understands Lehmann's German, so he knows that the translation cannot accurately translate the old man's meaning.
But this is not a big problem, as long as the translation does not translate "you should keep up the pressure" into "you are good as you are now".
The translator hired by the club with a high salary did not make such a mistake. All he omitted were some modal particles. He translated "You should continue to put pressure on your damn opponents" into "You should continue to put pressure on your opponents"...
Lin Zhiyuan didn’t listen carefully to what the translator said. He frowned and was thinking about his own problem.
Throughout the first half, due to the strong strength of the team, he only felt some excitement at the beginning of the game, and the rest of the game seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Yes, it’s okay.
In the first half, the Flash Star team had only five shots in total, and only two shots hit the goal frame. The shot that made him most satisfied was Xia Xiaoyu's shot at the beginning of the game.
That was the first shot of the Flash Star team. Who would have thought that they would be at the top right after their debut?
Most of the forty-five minutes of the first half, he was walking around in the backcourt doing nothing.
Go out from in front of the goal and arrive at the penalty spot. Then continue walking forward, out of the penalty area, and arrive at the top of the penalty arc.
Then he looked up at the frontcourt and found that his teammates were rubbing the newly promoted Shining Star on the ground, so he continued to walk forward, almost reaching the center circle, and then stopped. He looked back at his own goal.
When I saw that my own goal and the opponent's goal looked about the same size from here, I stopped completely.
This is the safety line he draws for himself.
Then he began to retreat, until he retreated into the penalty area, and began to walk around in the penalty area.
At the same time, my mind can't help but think wildly: If I could bring my mobile phone, I would definitely be able to occupy the WeChat sports cover of Moments today...
Just like this, I just spread my thoughts, looked up at the sky, and sighed from the bottom of my heart: So am I just making up the numbers?
Didn’t we agree that we would have a showdown with Hu Lai?
That’s the result?
He thought about what he had overlooked in his previous wishful thinking - given the strength gap between the South China Tigers and the Flash Stars, it would be difficult for Hu Lai to get a chance to shoot, so why would there be a showdown?
Tsk, you guys should be more angry!
The translator in the locker room translated all of Lehmann's speech. The old man's last words meant: "You did a good job in the first half, as long as you can force them to not play at the speed they are good at. Keep it up."
.”
The old man hoped to limit Flashing Star to the same level as the first half, but Lin Zhiyuan secretly fantasized in his heart that Flashing Star could cause some trouble for his team in the second half, so that he could have more opportunities to compete with Hu Lai
.
If Lehman knew about this little idea of his, I wonder if the old man would be furious...
※※※
The Flash Star players walked out of the locker room in twos and threes and walked to the court to prepare for the second half of the game.
Judging from the score, they are only one goal behind, and they still have hope to compete with the South China Tigers.
During the halftime break, Zhao Kangming continued to arrange tactics with this goal in mind. At the end, he encouraged everyone to put down the burden of conceding a goal, not to think about the score, not to be stressed, and to perform normally.
Logically speaking, when the Flash Star players walked out of the locker room, they should be full of longing for the second half and couldn't wait for the game to start.
But when Chen Xingyi was walking in the passage, he turned around and said to his companions walking together: "I feel unhappy."
“There is still a gap in overall strength. There is no way.” Wang Guangwei comforted him. “After all, the South China Tigers are the champions of the Chinese Super League. We are strictly a newly promoted team. It is not easy to only concede one goal...”
"No, that's why I feel unhappy." Chen Xingyi shook his head, looked around, and then lowered his voice and said: "Everyone thinks we can't beat the South China Tigers. What did the public opinion say before the game? No one cares about us.
Whether they can win or not, their only expectation for Shining Star in this game is to see if Hu Lai can get through Lin Zhiyuan's door."
At this point, he looked at Hu Lai and asked: "Hu Lai, do you also feel uncomfortable playing?"
Hu Lai nodded: "It's quite unpleasant. I shot two shots in the first half, but they didn't hit the goal frame. If this continues, that guy Lin Zhiyuan will really kneel down for me after the game. Thank you.
My grace for not killing..."
He was a little melancholy and did not want to receive this great gift.
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. At this moment, Lin Zhiyuan came from the direction of the South China Tigers locker room. After seeing Hu Lai, he walked straight forward, held his head high and said to Hu Lai and others around him: "
I asked you, can you still do it? I'm almost cold and catching a cold in the back, can you give me something exciting?"
His words immediately aroused strong reactions from several people across from him.
“Damn! Lin Zhiyuan, don’t be crazy!” Chen Xingyi pointed at Lin Zhiyuan’s nose and said, “If you had participated in the national competition with me, I would have made you pick up the ball in the goal and find a lumbar disc herniation!”
“There are no heroes to make Shuzi famous!” Xia Xiaoyu hummed from the side. He and Lin Zhiyuan had already had a bad relationship.
Even Wang Guangwei couldn't stand it anymore: "Lin Zhiyuan, are you crazy?"
Lin Zhiyuan did not change his expression when faced with the accusations from his former Olympic team teammates. He just stared at Hu Lai and said: "Okay, this competition between us does not count. The team's strength gap is too big."
, it makes you look weak even if I win, it’s boring.”
Seeing that Lin Zhiyuan was pushing the envelope, Chen Xingyi, who was already holding back his anger, said angrily: "Lin Zhiyuan, are you looking for trouble! Who the hell wants to compete with you!"
The shouting and arguing among them were very conspicuous in the narrow tunnel, and soon attracted the attention of players from both sides.
"What are you doing?" Han Xiangfei rushed up, "Want to fight?"
His voice made the South China Tigers players nervous. They came up in front of Lin Zhiyuan and asked the Flash Star players on the opposite side: "You can't afford to lose, can you?!"
Seeing that the two sides were about to become tense, Qin Lin and Yao Huasheng rushed over one after the other.
"What's going on?" Qin Lin looked at Hu Lai and the others with a gloomy face as soon as he arrived.
Zhang Qinghuan pointed at Lin Zhiyuan: "This kid came up to provoke us."
As soon as Yao Huasheng heard this, he tightly wrapped his arm around Lin Zhiyuan's neck and dragged him out, cursing: "You are so damn capable, Lin Zhiyuan! What are you trying to do?"
It may seem like you are blaming him, but in fact it is keeping him away from the center of the storm.
As for what Zhang Qinghuan, a teammate of the national team, said, Yao Huasheng did not doubt it. It was not that he turned his elbow outward, but that he knew very well what kind of virtue Lin Zhiyuan was... He felt that Lin Zhiyuan was indeed someone who could do such a thing.
Seeing that Yao Huasheng had taken the lead to teach Lin Zhiyuan a lesson, Qin Lin did not continue to say anything, but took his teammates away: "Get away!"
He led his teammates and walked quickly toward the court.
On the other side, Yao Huasheng also led his teammates to come out quickly and not linger in the tunnel.
The happy feeling here before the start of the first half has long since disappeared, replaced by a tense and low pressure.
It wasn't until he walked onto the court that Qin Lin covered his mouth and turned around and said seriously to the young people following him: "The other party wants to anger us, make us lose our minds and cause chaos. Why do you cooperate with him so much? Give them all.
I calm down!"
After also walking onto the court, Yao Huasheng cursed very rudely: "Is there water in your head, kid?"
Facing his scolding, Lin Zhiyuan laughed: "Captain Yao, don't you think that by irritating them, we have a greater chance of winning?"
Yao Huasheng was furious: "We South China Tigers need to rely on this kind of extra-game moves to win promotion?! Get out of here!"
Lin Zhiyuan quickly ran out from Yao Huasheng: "Then I'm out of here, Captain Yao!"
Then he turned around, and from an angle that Yao Huasheng couldn't see, he was still smiling proudly.
At Flashing Star, Hu Lai was patting his chest and assuring Qin Lin: "Don't worry, Brother Lin, calm down. Didn't you see that I didn't even show up just now? I have no sense of presence at all!"
Qin Lin narrowed his eyes: "Are you making some crooked idea?"
Hu Lai waved his hand quickly: "No, no, Brother Lin, what bad idea can I have?"
When Qin Lin saw this, he could only tell him: "You kid, please don't dive in the opponent's penalty area! I told you that you will get a card for diving!"
Hu Lai felt aggrieved: "Brother Lin, who do you think I am?"
Qin Lin was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he warned everyone else one by one and left.
Chen Xingyi waited for him to walk away before saying to the others: "Damn! In the second half, I'm going to play the way I'm best at! Anyway, didn't Director Zhao say that? Let's not be too harsh when we defend.
The premise is that the position is appropriate... I must show that guy Lin Zhiyuan! Brother Huan, just pass the ball in front of me when the time comes. If you don't get it, it will be mine!"
Zhang Qinghuan nodded and looked at Hu Lai. Not only him, but others also cast their eyes on Hu Lai.
Facing the attention of everyone, Hu Lai slapped his hand: "I think Little Star is right. We are one goal behind, and others still think we played well...Who are we looking down on? What happened to the defending champion of the Chinese Super League? The Golden Arrow last season is not
Are you also the defending champion? Do it, do it with them! It’s just another result, either we will be killed by them all, or we will kill them!”
