In the stands, Yan Yan and the uncle next to him each raised an umbrella and continued to watch the game.
But in such a heavy thunderstorm, the comfort of the umbrellas in their hands may be greater than the actual meaning - although they all held umbrellas, only their heads and the area around their heads could barely stay dry.
Shoulders, arms, palms, hem of clothes, trousers from the top of thighs down to shoes were all soaked.
Not only is it raining, there is also wind.
The uncle who complained before the game that he was worried about catching a cold did not pay any attention to the wet areas on his body at this time. He looked at the court with a focused expression and a hint of nervousness.
On the court, the Flash Stars are launching an attack.
It has been raining and the ground is a little slippery.
Therefore, Flash Star chose a simple and crude style of play when attacking, without carefully sorting out the midfield and then pushing forward.
Instead, he directly makes a long pass from the backcourt to find his teammates in front.
For example, in this attack, Wang Guangwei sent a long pass directly from the backcourt and found Hu Lai in the frontcourt.
Hu Laila caught the ball in the open space and passed the football back to Zhang Qinghuan, then turned around and cut in the air.
But when he was running, he was always surrounded by Seoul LG defensive players, so Zhang Qinghuan did not pass the football to him, but passed it horizontally to Qin Lin.
Qin Lin made a slight adjustment after catching the ball and shot!
Seeing this scene, the uncle in the stands couldn't help but clenched the umbrella handle in his hand.
The football flew close to the ground and headed towards Seoul LG's goal, but at a slightly positive angle.
Cui Songmao moved quickly and came to the front of the football, then knelt down and prepared to catch the ball.
At this moment, the football hit the ground and bounced in front of him.
Because the area in front of the goal has been repeatedly trampled on, it has become very soft and slippery, and the ball bounces back differently after it touches the ground.
Cui Songmao's reaction to catching the ball based on normal circumstances was not suitable for this ball.
The football didn't bounce into his arms, but hit his fingertips and bounced out!
"Get rid of it!"
A shrill alarm sounded in Cui Songmao's mind. He wanted to make a second save, but his feet on the turf slipped at the most critical moment, causing him to fail to escape!
He could only stretch out his hand, trying to push the football away - from the corner of his eye, he had already spotted a red figure rushing towards the football!
Then before his hands arrive, kick the football towards the goal!
"Hu Lai - opportunity! Good goal!! Beautiful! 3:0! Flash Star leads Seoul LG with three goals at home! Hu Lai also completed his first brace in the AFC Champions League!"
The Provincial Sports Center once again burst into loud cheers.
The uncle in the stands waved his hand and raised the umbrella in his hand high. The wind and rain came in and slapped him hard on the face!
But he didn't care about that? Instead he joined the cheering crowd.
There were countless people like him in the stands. They were holding umbrellas, but they were soaked. They didn't care, they just chanted to their heart's content.
"Rise up! Rise up! Rise up! Rise up——!!!"
The rain falling from the sky seemed to be shattered by these roars.
※※※
Park Guixian, who was soaked in the rain, lowered his hands and looked at his team's penalty area. After Hu Lai scored, a teammate fell straight down and lay on the ground, splashing some muddy water.
His performance was better than that of his teammates. At least he didn't lie down in the mud and cover his face in shame.
He just stood there breathing heavily, silent.
In this cold rainy night, he didn't feel cold at all? Because his heart was colder than the rain.
Did you agree to take revenge? Did you agree to kill Flash Star? Did you agree to make a shut-up gesture in front of Flash Star fans...
He now doesn't even have the energy to curse.
With fourteen minutes left in the game, Seoul LG fell behind 0:3 in the away game. No matter how you looked at it, it was an almost irreparable defeat.
It's too awful.
There is only one thought in his mind right now.
It's so miserable. When I came to Jincheng, I was thrown away by the wind in the sky. After I checked into the hotel, I was so frightened by the earthquake that I ran out wearing only a pair of underwear? It rained so hard today and I was beaten by my opponent.
Three balls...
It's not that Park Guixian has never experienced failure. He has also seen those painful defeats? For example, in the East Asian Cup that year, he also lost three goals? Or he lost at home.
But he still felt that today's AFC Champions League game was the worst loss.
He was beaten so hard that he had no power to fight back. He was just pushed to the ground and rubbed and rubbed again and again...
※※※
In the end, with Hu Lai's brace and Zhang Qinghuan's second AFC Champions League goal in his career, Anton Shining Star defeated Seoul LG 3:0 at home.
After the results of the group draw came out, Anton Shining Star, who was considered the weakest in the group, defeated their opponent cleanly at home.
In terms of the winning and losing results alone, this is not too surprising.
Because ever since Seoul LG’s “awkward” road trip, the Korean media and fans have not looked very favorably on this team.
When other teams play away games, it is just a normal loss of physical strength and lack of energy.
Seoul LG’s away game can be called “thrilling”, and naturally the players cannot show any good form.
But even though LG Seoul fans, including their own fans, thought the team might lose, they never thought it would lose so... cleanly.
Throughout the game, Seoul LG barely posed much of a threat to Shining Star's goal, except at the beginning of the second half, but that was just thunder and rain.
It can be said that Seoul LG was simply defeated by Anton Shinsing.
Everyone can understand why we lost to Flash Stars in an away game when we were in a bad state.
But losing like this is unacceptable to many people.
Why don't you resist, and don't let your opponent win so easily!
What is the concept of 0:3?
When playing away against Osaka Victory, the strongest opponent in the group, Seoul LG only lost 1:2. Not only did they lose only one goal, they also scored goals, and they fought hard until the last minute. It can be said that "despite the defeat"
"It's glorious."
And what about today’s game?
Not only was the score difference of three goals, any Seoul LG fan who watched the entire game could see that LG was hit on the head by their opponent.
The dignified third place in the Korean K1 League was beaten badly by a newly promoted team from the Chinese Super League.
LG Seoul has simply become the target of ridicule - even before the game is over, ridicule against LG Seoul players has already appeared on the Korean Internet.
Of course, it's okay if you just get laughed at.
What's even more terrible is that after losing this game, Seoul LG also lost the second place in the league, and the point difference was suddenly reduced to three points.
Now is no longer the time to discuss whether Seoul LG can compete with Osaka Victory for first place in the group. Instead, we should seriously ask whether Seoul LG can qualify from this group...
Although Osaka Victory was tied at home by Sydney Coast in this round of the group stage, it still topped the list with ten points. With two rounds left in the group stage, it is six points ahead of third place Seoul LG. Only in theory
Possibility of losing qualifications.
With the victory in this game, Flash Star jumped to second place with seven points. This group, which was originally not expected to be the weakest, still has hope of advancing to the AFC Champions League knockout rounds!
This is something that many people did not expect and did not dare to think about after the lottery results came out.
After all, being able to enter the AFC Champions League was incredible to many people...
When every Shining Star player was interviewed after the game, even though they were soaked by the rain and their hair hung low on their foreheads, they could not hide the smiles on their faces.
Speaking of winning the competition, everyone is very happy.
But when a reporter asked them: "Are you particularly happy when you think about having the opportunity to reach the knockout rounds of the AFC Champions League?" their expressions became slightly unnatural.
Of course, this did not arouse the reporters' doubts. They just thought that they did not want to be too public. After all, they were not even close to reaching the knockout round.
When the Shining Star players returned to the locker room, they approached Hu Lai: "Hu Lai! When are you going to invite us to the big villa for a hothouse party!"
"That's right, I also want to see the mansion!"
Facing the enthusiastic teammates, Hu Lai patted his chest and promised: "After we move and pack up, we will definitely invite everyone to be our guests!"
Qin Lin did not participate in the booing of his teammates. Instead, he wiped the water from his hair and watched the scene with a smile.
At the same time, the team's head coach Zhao Kangming told Chinese and foreign reporters at the post-match press conference: "We don't think about the knockout rounds, it's too far away... For the AFC Champions League, our goal is very clear, that is, every day
We tried our best in every game. I am very happy to see that our players did this today, so we finally won this game... But it is still too early to talk about the knockout rounds. We participate in the AFC Champions League to show respect to those strong and outstanding players.
Asian teams learned from it..."
After he finished speaking, a Korean reporter raised his hand and asked: "Coach Zhao Kangming, the reason why Shining Star was able to defeat Seoul LG in this game is related to some accidents that the Seoul LG team encountered in this away game.
, do you agree with this point of view?"
It could be heard from his tone that he seemed a little unconvinced.
It looks like he should be a reporter from Seoul LG.
When some Chinese reporters heard his question, they couldn't help but cast disdainful glances: If you lose, you lose, what excuse are you looking for!
Zhao Kangming didn't seem to see the obvious look in the eyes of the Chinese reporters, and replied with a smile: "First of all, I deeply sympathize with Seoul LG for what happened before the game. Accidents are part of life and part of football. We
You can't change accidents, you can only use your own efforts to offset the impact of accidents. Faced with this game full of surprises, I warned the players before the game to go all out and forget those unexpected situations for the time being. In the end, I
I am very happy that our team was not affected by surprise and won this game. This is a valuable lesson we learned from the AFC Champions League."
Korean reporter who asked:???
Chinese reporters applauded Zhao Kangming for his wit, and the press conference was filled with warm applause.
