Zhang Kezhi is the rotating central defender of Dashun Golden Arrow. He mainly played in the league this season. At that time, the team's main central defenders Mao Junzheng and Jin Yong were often unable to participate in the league because they had to play in the AFC Champions League.
For him, it is certainly not enough to only play in the league.
Any player who has some ambition hopes to get more playing opportunities, on the one hand, to train himself, and on the other hand, to prove to the head coach that he can also play the main role.
If it were a normal AFC Champions League game, Zhang Kezhi would be very happy to get a chance to play.
But today he didn’t want this opportunity at all…
Because this is not a normal game today!
If I don’t play and just sit on the bench, then this game has nothing to do with me, and it doesn’t matter how it plays out.
But now just because I play, my name will definitely be there after the game...
Who wants to leave a name in this kind of competition?!
Mao Junzheng noticed that Zhang Kezhi had been a little absent-minded since he came on the field. He frowned and patted Zhang Kezhi on the shoulder again.
“Concentrate and don’t think too much. If you break your head off the field, it has nothing to do with us. Do you understand?”
Facing the serious Mao Junzheng, Zhang Kezhi took his mind back and nodded: "I know, Brother Mao..."
Mao Junzheng also knew the current situation of the team. He sighed: "The second half of the game has just begun. If you don't want to... really become a laughing stock, then you still have to go all out in the game. If there is anything, wait for the game.
Let’s talk after it’s over.”
Zhang Kezhi nodded and tried to calm down his emotions.

Flash Star initially thought that after the start of the second half, Golden Arrow might launch a fierce offensive against the Flash Star goal with the help of their head coach Wang Xianke.
After waiting for a while, I found that the golden arrow did not come up at all.
So they began to try to break out.
At first I was cautious, fearing that this was a tactic to lure a snake out of its hole.
After actually attacking, we found out that Golden Arrow was really unable to attack and could only shrink its defense.
As a result, the Flash Star players gradually became bolder.
Full-back Zhang Hao almost had the opportunity to play as a right winger. After he went up, he didn't bother to return to defense because he had to come up again.
No, Xia Xiaoyu transferred the football to his side again.
After Zhang Hao received the ball, he saw that Cui Shuangwen, the full-back of Golden Arrow, did not come up to block him, but stuck on the inside. It was a typical defensive strategy of "you can pass the ball, but you can't break through".
Hence Zhang Hao was too lazy to spend time trying to outwit the opponent. Since the opponent gave up the space for passing the ball, he was not polite.
Just cross the ball with your kick!
Zhang Kezhi looked at the flying football. It was not very high and he was ready to kick it out with his big foot.
But just when he raised his left leg, he heard Mao Junzheng shouting from behind him: "Be careful!"
Following this, a dark shadow appeared in the corner of his eye.
The black shadow shot out of his field of vision and ran towards the football!
It was too late for him to stop!
He felt something hit him, but wasn't sure if it was a football...

“Zhang Hao’s biography... Hu Lai!!”
Amidst the roar of the commentator, Xie Lan saw his son suddenly make a forward move from behind the Golden Arrow center back, and then make a horizontal diving jump!
Hit the football.
It also seemed to be kicked by the opponent's central defender...
The football that was hit by Hu Lai changed direction and flew to the back of the goal. Goalkeeper Zheng Donglin had no idea that Hu Lai could complete such a difficult header with Zhang Kezhi separated. He saw the football flying towards the goal.
It's too late to make a save...
The football flew into the goal from the back!
“The ball went in! The ball went in again! Only twelve minutes into the second half, Hulay completed a hat trick! This is his second consecutive game with a hat trick!”
Amidst He Feng's roar, Hu Lai, who had fallen to the ground, got up from the ground, opened his arms and ran towards the camera lens of the corner flag area.
Even though it was a long shot, Xie Lan still keenly noticed that her son's face seemed a little different from usual...
She frowned: "Did you get kicked just now?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw the TV broadcast cut to a shot of the camera in the corner flag area.
In the camera, Hu Lai is running from a distance, with the left half of his face flushed!
“Yeah!” Xie Lan was startled and stood up from the sofa.
Hu Lai himself seemed to be completely unaware. He rushed to the camera lens with a half-bloody face and yelled.
Hu Lixin sat straight on the sofa, watching his son on the TV, silently.
It was like being shocked by the son on the TV.
※※※
“Ah! Hu Lai is injured!” He Feng and Yan Kang also noticed the blood on Hu Lai’s face.
“It should have been that he was kicked by Zhang Kezhi while fighting for a header... In order to score, Hu Lai really risked his life! He worked too hard..."
“Obviously we are in the lead, we have already scored twice, but Hu Lai can still work so hard to score goals... I think the miracle that Golden Arrow fans were looking forward to in this game... is probably completely gone.”
Yan Kang was still relatively conservative, and it was not until this moment that he finally came to a conclusion.
Looking at Hu Lai’s blood-covered face, the two commentators fell silent at the same time.
Once they stopped talking, the audience in front of the TV realized that the noise in the stadium seemed to be much quieter.
It was not just the two commentators who were shocked by this scene, but also tens of thousands of Golden Arrow fans.
Just looking at Hu Lai’s goal, they thought it was Flash Star that was lagging behind...
They were familiar with this face before. During the U23 Asian Cup, the Chinese team played all three group matches at this stadium. As Chinese fans, they cheered for Hu Lai.
Especially in the last group match, Hulay scored five goals in nine minutes and gave a performance like a god coming down from the earth. It was in this stadium.
Many of them were cheering and cheering for Hu Lai at that time, and were sincerely impressed by him.
Now looking at this ferocious face, many fans fell silent.
Why on earth...why do we have to fight to the death with such a person?
※※※
The Flash Star players who caught up to celebrate the goal with Hu Lai found that Hu Lai's face was covered with blood, and they all screamed.
After their reminder, Hu Lai raised his hand and wiped it, only to realize that he was injured.
His first thought was:
Damn! Will it disfigure my face?
The second thought is:
I don’t seem to have anything to destroy, right? Oh, that’s okay...
The third thought is:
It hurts!
Then the team doctor ran up and examined him quickly.
After seeing the wound on the brow bone clearly, Zhang Qinghuan said with lingering fear: "I'll go, Hu Lai, you are trying too hard... It's not necessary, really. If you come down a little bit, your eyes will be gone..."
Hu Lai grinned and replied to him: "I didn't think much about it at the time, Brother Huan. All I saw was football, and I didn't even see his foot."
Zhang Qinghuan shook his head.
In front of Golden Arrow's door, Zhang Kezhi was repeating one sentence to Mao Junzheng: "I really didn't mean it, Brother Mao. You have to testify for me... I didn't see him, I didn't mean to kick him."
of……"
After hearing those words during the intermission, Zhang Kezhi is now afraid that others will think that he was instructed by Wang Xianke to deliberately destroy Hu Lai...
Then he wouldn’t be able to escape even if he jumped into the Yellow Sea.
Mao Jun was getting annoyed by Zhang Kezhi’s quarrel. He grabbed the other person’s shoulders and growled hard: “Calm down!”
Zhang Kezhi was stunned, and then he realized that he had lost his composure, so he lowered his head in shame.
※※※
Jin Yong, who had not left the locker room, used the TV in the locker room to watch Hu Lai celebrating his goal with blood on his face.
He buried his head deeply, sat on his stool, and said nothing.
At halftime, he finally let out all the emotions he had been holding in his heart.
But at the same time, he also pushed his team into the abyss.
The Golden Arrow is not far from collapse in this game.
This game is destined to remain in the history of the AFC Champions League forever and become a game that will be discussed many years later. The scene of Hu Lai roaring at the camera with blood on his face should also become a part of the history of AFC Champions League football.
classic shot.
But it was the Dashun Golden Arrow that provided the background for this classic. In this way, it was nailed to the pillar of shame.
And he, Jin Yong, cannot escape the blame no matter what.
He felt pain and guilt about this.
※※※
Hulai received treatment from the Flash Star team doctor on the sidelines. His teammates have also returned to the court and the game has restarted.
The team doctor is using alcohol to disinfect and clean the wound.
Hu Lai grimaced in pain and twisted around, trying to get free. The team doctor had to use his other hand to hold his shoulder firmly.
This is far from the heroic image he had just roaring at the camera.
Wang Xianke had no intention of laughing at Hu Lai's clown behavior.
This is the first time Hulay didn't come to him after scoring a goal.
After the game restarted, he turned back to the coaching bench and sat down without saying a word.
