If anyone, after the AFC Champions League draw results came out, pointed to Anton Shining Star’s name and said: “This team will become one of the top 16 in the AFC Champions League!”
Then he will definitely be laughed at: "You know how to play ball!"
Even Zhao Kangming, the head coach of Flash Stars, said that Flash Stars came to the AFC Champions League to learn from strong teams across Asia.
Standing very low.
As a result, Anton Shining Star, who came to study, qualified from the AFC Champions League group stage and became the top 16 of the AFC Champions League. He looks like a top student in academics.
This team participated in the AFC Champions League for the first time, and their starting point was a bit high...
In the first group match, when Shining Stars was defeated by Osaka Victory 0:3 away from home, many people were still discussing whether Shining Stars, a newly promoted team, participating in the AFC Champions League would be a blessing or a curse for them, and whether they would
Affects the team's relegation.
However, the team returned to the league and lost to the South Kerry Lions.
This has caused many people to worry, and some even hope that the Stars will send a reserve team in the AFC Champions League and just deal with the AFC Champions League casually.
After being eliminated in the group stage, focus on playing in the league again.
Looking back now, many Shining Star fans are thankful that Shining Star head coach Zhao Kangming is a sensible person and will not be affected by those public opinions. He does not really choose to deal with the AFC Champions League casually. Instead, he pays attention to every game.
Prepare seriously and let the team play well.
In the end, they got a good result of qualifying from the group in their first participation in the AFC Champions League.
Yes, for the Flash Star team, being able to qualify from the AFC Champions League group is already an achievement worthy of pride and pride.
So when the Flash Star team flew back to Andong Jincheng happily, they were warmly welcomed by the local media and fans at the airport.
This kind of "welcome ceremony" in which everyone went to the airport to greet the Flash Star team, at first, caused misunderstandings, thinking that some celebrity was coming to Jincheng.
Many passersby waited excitedly for a long time and were reluctant to leave. As a result, a group of professional players wearing uniforms arrived.
Later, when such scenes often occurred at Dongsheng International Airport in Jincheng, everyone got used to it and no longer made a fuss.
At the same time, after seeing such a scene, they knew that Flashing Star must have returned in triumph again.
But in fact, it is not always a triumph.
At the beginning, of course, fans and media would come here to greet the team after they win. Now, no matter whether they win or lose, as long as they come back from an away game, fans and media will come here to welcome the team.
After all, you can’t support it until you win, and ignore it if you lose, right? That would be too snobbish.
For the Flash Star players, they can see fans picking them up at the airport every time they come back. This feeling is like a tired traveler returning home after a long journey. Before he can raise his hand to knock on the door, the door is opened.
, the family stood in a brightly lit place, smiling at him.
Traveling thousands of miles does not seem so strenuous anymore.
During the time when there was no professional football team in Jincheng City, Andong Province? People called this city a “football desert” and joked that there was no place for football in mass entertainment here.
After such words were repeated thousands of times, many people really believed it? This city does not need football.
Indeed, fans in this city have been absent from the history of Chinese football for a long time, and they have not caught up with the historical stage of the rapid development of Chinese domestic football culture.
But after all, this city was once the gold medal market of Chinese football. Is this the place where the first whistle of the Chinese Professional Football League was blown? This is where a lot of Chinese football culture was created:
The cheering slogan of "Rise Up" spread throughout the country, and "get out of class" became a special term for dismissing the head coach and is still used today. Those who dare to be the first in the world "charter a flight to watch football"...
Now? Whether it is fans or professional football clubs, the lessons they have left behind are being made up little by little.
The enthusiasm for waving the flag and shouting has never gone away with time, and the football culture belonging to Anton is being re-established.
There were no grass or trees in the desert originally, but after climate change? How many more rains did it rain? There are weeds vying to emerge from the sand and gravel.
These weeds are both beneficiaries of climate change and contributors to climate change.
Finally, the rainfall increased, and birds brought various seeds. They fell on the wasteland and sank into the soil. Then the roots sprouted and broke through.
So there were shrubs again.
Many years later, when everyone looks here again, they will be surprised to find that in a lush green forest, where is the shadow of desolation?
So all that’s missing is some seeds? A few rains.

“The game is over! Although Dashun Golden Arrow did not win the game at home, but with the draw in this game, they still got the right to qualify from the group in advance!”
Ocean Stadium was filled with cheers, and Dashun Golden Arrow fans cheered for their team’s performance.
Although the team's performance in the league has been ups and downs in the new season and is not very good, the team's performance in the AFC Champions League has been very stable.
First, in the first round of the group stage, they defeated the Canberra Kangaroos 4:1 at home, making a good start for the new season of the AFC Champions League.
Then they defeated Hiroshima Shooter 1:0 in an away game.
The third group match was a 2:2 home draw with Busan Daewoo.
After going to the away game, they defeated Busan Daewoo 1:0.
In this way, in the first four group matches, Dashun Golden Arrow won three and drew one, remaining unbeaten and ranking first with ten points.
In this group match, after a 1:1 home draw with Hiroshima Shooter, they currently have 11 points. The third-ranked Canberra Kangaroos only have five points. The six-point gap allowed Dashun Golden Arrow to advance from the group.
Outline.
And it’s not just about qualifying early.
Because they had one win and one draw against the second-ranked Busan Daewoo, the outcome was dominant. Even if the Dashun Golden Arrows lost to the Canberra Kangaroos and Busan Daewoo defeated the Hiroshima Shooters in the final round of the group stage, they would still have the advantage because of the victory or defeat.
The relationship advantage still overcame Busan Daewoo, which had the same score, and won the first place in the group.
Not only qualified from the group, but also qualified as the first in the group.
Such an outstanding performance even made many Dashun Golden Arrow fans couldn't help but dream about winning the AFC Champions League.
With such a performance in the AFC Champions League, no one will complain about the team’s poor performance in the Chinese Super League for the time being.
If we can really bring back an AFC Champions League trophy to the football city of Dashun, we won’t be able to win it if we can’t win the league championship.
After the final whistle blew, Wang Xianke got up from the coaching bench and went to shake hands with the head coach of the Hiroshima Shooters first.
Then he turned around and went directly into the players tunnel.
After walking a few more steps inside, he stopped and looked back at the exit of the passage.
Although the cameras could no longer capture it in this place, the enthusiastic cheers of the fans could still be clearly heard in his ears.
Hearing such cheers, the corners of Wang Xianke's lips turned up.
The winner is king.
Facts have proven that as long as I can lead the team to victory, those rumors have no impact on me at all.
I don’t know if Xue Chaoyu regrets not renewing my contract... But it’s too late. After this season, I will go to another team.
When we meet again on the court, don’t blame me for missing our old friendship!
Wang Xianke withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and took out his mobile phone from his pocket. On it was the news that Flash Star qualified from the AFC Champions League Group H yesterday.
The picture accompanying the news is Hu Lai’s photo.
Today Hu Lai seems to have become the spokesperson of Flashing Star. As long as there is news about Flashing Star, there will be photos of him.
Looking at Hu Lai in the photo, Wang Xianke sneered.

After finishing the live broadcast, He Feng took off his earphones. When the camera was turned off, he turned to Yan Kang next to him and said, "It's exciting now. The quarter-finals haven't even started yet, so the media have to get excited."
Already."
Yan Kang also seemed helpless about this: "This script... I almost wonder if it was intentional by the AFC."
“Think too much, Yan Kang. The AFC will not pay attention to our domestic gossip. Besides, after the group draw results came out, no one was hyping that these two teams would meet in the AFC Champions League.”
“At that time, who would have thought that Dashun Golden Arrow could win the first place in the group, let alone that Flash Star, who participated in the AFC Champions League for the first time, could qualify from the group. The probability of these two teams meeting is really low.”
What they are talking about is the knockout stage of the AFC Champions League.
Dashun Golden Arrow won the right to qualify in Group F as the first in the group, and its opponent in the first round of the knockout stage was determined.
That is the second place in Group H.
The second place in Group H is Flash Star.
Hulai and Wang Xianke’s feud is now well known to everyone in the domestic football world.
But everyone’s attention was originally focused on the tenth round of the league, which would be the away game between Flash Star and Dashun Golden Arrow.
Unexpectedly, these two people met in the AFC Champions League first.
Yan Kang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Now it's exciting. The whole of Asia will know about their grudges..."
