When Lin Zhiyuan fell from the sky and got up again, he could only see a group of flash star players running towards the back.
Like a comet rushing towards the sun.
He turned around angrily and kicked the football towards the net again.
He didn't even save the ball...he scored again by that kid Hu Lai!
Damn it!!
Lin Zhiyuan looked up to the sky and shouted.
Not only him, but other players of the South China Tigers are also very upset.
Taking the lead within the first minute of the game was a perfect start.
However, the South China Tigers, who had a perfect start, did not seize this opportunity to make persistent efforts and expand their lead. Instead, they were pushed back by Flash Star and evened the score in seventeen minutes.
The advantage of opening the game with a score of 1:0 was gone.
The two teams are back on the same starting line.
Everything seems to be the same as when the game started...
No, it’s different.
Now the morale of the Flash Star players is even higher, but the South China Tigers players will inevitably be upset deep down in their hearts that we were equalized and the lead was gone...
As long as you think this way, it will definitely affect the mood and state of the South China Tigers players.
And it’s impossible for them not to think about it at all.
Returning to the same starting line only refers to the score, but in fact, for the players of the two teams, there has never been a "same starting line".
Flash Stars equalized the score and are taking the lead psychologically.
The South China Tigers were equalized in the score and fell behind psychologically...
This is the time to test whether a team is truly a strong team.
Those teams that are defeated by their opponents after conceding a goal are unable to become a league hegemon.
The South China Tigers have been very popular in Chinese football in recent years, and they certainly have the confidence to face any difficulties.
Previously, it was Qin Lin who boosted the morale of the Flashing Star team. Now it is the turn of Yao Huasheng, the captain of the South China Tigers.
He went to slap those dejected teammates one by one, waved his fists beside them, and cheered them up.
Lin Zhiyuan was slapped hard on the back by him.
When Lin Zhiyuan turned around and saw Yao Huasheng, the latter ran away without saying anything.
He went to pat the back of the next person.

“Did the Stars equalize the score?” Cao Wei stared wide-eyed at the assistant coach Wu Dening who had just told him the news.
The latter confirmed him again.
“Okay!” Cao Wei slapped his face hard, “As expected of Hu Lai!”
Then he stood up and walked to the sideline.
Almost at the same time, he noticed that the Hedong Thunder head coach Yan Li stood up from the coaching bench next door, and also noticed the movement on his side.
The two of them just stared at each other from afar.
Obviously the other party also knew the news from Jincheng.
Flash Star's equalizer means that there are still many variables in the championship situation.
With the current score, the Flashing Stars tied with the South China Tigers 1:1, and the South China Tigers have 63 points. If the Shanhai Mariners, who currently have 60 points, can defeat the Hedong Thunder, they can overtake the South China Tigers with 63 points. In the end
A comeback to become the Chinese Super League champion this season!
When the two head coaches got up from their seats and came to the sidelines, the two teams that had been testing each other before also accelerated their pace.
Soon the Shanhai Mariners, who were playing at home, launched a threatening attack that reached the goal of Hedong Leiden.
And finally Zhou Zijing completed the header.
“Zhou Zijing’s header!! Hao De made a wonderful save! It seems that it was influenced by the game between Flash Star and South China Tigers, and the Mariners and Thunderbolts also became active!”
Zhou Zijing, who failed to score, put his head in his hands and yelled at the Thunder goal.
His father Zhou Shenghai also made the same move as his son in the stands.
Even though his son is facing the current main goalkeeper of the Chinese national team, he also feels sorry for his son. You can do it, son, you can break through this "national goalkeeper", come on!
※※※
Back at the bustling Andong Provincial Sports Center, various cheering slogans of "Strong Rise" can be heard all the time.
The Flash Star team, which had just equalized the score, was greatly boosted in morale and continued its offensive against the South China Tigers.
As strong as the South China Tigers, when facing the fierce offensive of the Stars in the away game, they had to avoid its sharp attack and shrink their defense to avoid conceding the ball again in a short period of time.
Seeing this scene, He Feng sighed with emotion in the commentary box: "The South China Tigers were actually overwhelmed by Flash Star in the game... You must know that Flash Star is a newly promoted team!"
Yan Kang laughed beside him: "He Feng, we can no longer say that Flash Star is a 'promoted team'? How can there be such a vigorous promoted team? This is already a championship team."
"Of course, I know. I just feel sad. When the two teams met for the first time in the Super Cup, everyone thought that the South China Tigers would definitely win. Flash Star faced the South China Tigers in the game and wanted to score a goal.
The ball was extremely difficult. In the end, it was Hu Lai's genius who imagined the heel ball that allowed him to defeat the South China Tigers by 'lucky'... Although they won, many people think that Shining Star was able to defeat the South China Tigers because of luck...
Now they are able to suppress the South China Tigers on their home court. This is no longer a matter of going back and forth and never falling behind..." He Feng explained.
“Indeed, the Flash Star team has grown a lot this season and made rapid progress. Looking back at their performance in the Chinese League One and the Football Association Cup last season, and then looking at their performance in the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League this season,
Everyone has made progress. This is very rare... Moreover, even Chen Xingyi, who was loaned by Dashun Golden Arrow, has also made very obvious progress. Zhao Kangming's ability to train young players is really getting better and better.
Getting stronger!"
Chen Xingyi, who was praised by Yan Kang for his great progress, was getting the ball on the wing, facing Dai Song's defense.
The two can be considered "enemies". In the Super Cup at the beginning of the season, the South China Tigers finally lost the game not only because of Hu Lai's unlucky back-heel goal, but the real root cause was actually the goal guarded by Yu Daisong.
This side was penetrated by Chen Xingyi.
After a season, Yu Daisong certainly can no longer let Chen Xingyi do whatever he wants in front of him.
In fact, he had already succeeded in revenge in the fifteenth round of the league. In that game, he basically made Chen Xingyi unable to perform well, and also helped the South China Tigers defeat the Flash Stars 4:1 at their home court.
But that game was just about defeating Flash Star, it was not considered revenge.
The South China Tigers lost a championship to Flash Star, so of course they have to win back a championship to be considered a successful revenge.
Yu Daisong lowered his weight and stared at Chen Xingyi's feet.
Chen Xingyi is dribbling the ball forward, but not very fast.
Yu Daisong, who was defending him, fought and retreated, always keeping a reasonable distance from Chen Xingyi.
Chen Xingyi did not carry it forward without limit. If he continued to move forward, the space would become smaller and smaller, and by then his speed would be useless.
So he suddenly accelerated, as if he was going to force a breakthrough.
Yu Daisong’s whole body tensed up.
I saw Chen Xingyi's left foot kicking towards the football, trying to throw it out.
But in the end it was just a false shot!
His left foot crossed over the football and missed the ball. Then he quickly swung it back and knocked the football behind him with his heel.
There, the left back Zhang Hao, who was assisting, just received the ball from him and walked away with the football without slowing down.
Yu Daisong put all his attention on Chen Xingyi, but ignored Zhang Hao who came in behind. He could only watch Zhang Hao break through with the ball from the side and send a cross.
Xia Xiaoyu, who advanced into the penalty area, jumped up and shook his head to attack the goal under the cover of Hu Lai!
The football was lifted over the crossbar by Lin Zhiyuan with one palm.
※※※
Xia Xiaoyu felt as if he had not played as an attacking midfielder for a long time. He did not expect that in this last league game, he would have the opportunity to return to the position he was best at in the school team.
This feeling is even a little strange.
But he quickly became familiar with it, after all, it was the position he had played for ten years.
He is actually responsible for organizing offenses in both the front midfielder and the back midfielder, and with the development of modern football, the positional differences between the front midfielder and the back midfielder have become further blurred. Sometimes the front midfielder looks like a back midfielder, and the back midfielder looks like a front midfielder.
Xia Xiaoyu gave the football to Zhang Qinghuan, who came up to meet him. He looked left and right and chose a place where the South China Tigers' defense was relatively weak to run to, ready to respond.
Xia Wu in the stands watched his cousin move freely on the court, whether with the ball or without the ball, he was very precise.
He couldn't help but sigh with emotion that his cousin was already a qualified professional player!
And this is only his first professional league season.
It is simply unbelievable that the younger brother who chased football with me on the football field when he was a child has grown to this point...
Come on Xiaoyu!
※※※
After receiving Xia Xiaoyu's pass, Zhang Qinghuan did not continue to develop on the wing, but suddenly cut inside and walked to the middle. At the same time, Xia Xiaoyu went from behind Zhang Qinghuan to the wing instead. He and Zhang Qinghuan made a cross-change.
Zhang Qinghuan walked to the middle, attracted the attention of the South China Tigers defensive players to the middle, and then knocked the football with his heel to Xia Xiaoyu who was behind him.
Before Xia Xiaoyu caught the ball, he looked up and observed the situation in the penalty area. He had already grasped the distribution of personnel there and made calculations in his mind.
After receiving the ball from Brother Huan, he did not stop the ball to adjust and make unnecessary movements, but chose to pass the ball directly at a 45-degree angle!
Although this is likely to result in a decrease in passing accuracy, it can catch the opponent off guard and seize the loopholes in their defense.
In Xia Xiaoyu's opinion, it is a choice completely worth the risk.
Even if it fails, there will not be any serious consequences.
This is one of the few differences between an organizational midfielder and an attacking midfielder. If he is in the defensive midfielder position, he must be cautious about risky choices. However, when he is close to the opponent's goal, Director Zhao encourages players to take risks.
“Xia Xiaoyu passed the ball directly!”
The South China Tigers' defense line had just been attracted to the middle by Zhang Qinghuan. At this time, they pounced again. The originally clenched fists turned into open palms, and the space between the fingers naturally became much larger.
This is the opportunity that Xia Xiaoyu wants to seize.
He bet that the South China Tiger's defense line would lose sight of one thing and lose another during this back-and-forth maneuver.
For this reason, he didn’t lift the football high, but sent a kick to the ground!
The football moved quickly against the turf toward the front of the South China Tigers' goal.
There, Hu Lai rushed in and despite constant entanglement with Yao Huasheng, he still chose to tackle the football!
Shovel shot!
Yao Huasheng also put down a shovel at the same time, trying to block Hu Lai's shot with his own legs.
But Hu Lai was still better at grasping the timing of shooting. He shoveled the football to the near corner of the goal first!
The football rolled towards the goal in front of Yao Huasheng’s toes!
Lin Zhiyuan jumped forward, his height of more than 1.9 meters but at this moment he was as flexible as an ape.
I saw him lightly stretching his arms and hitting the rolling football away!
The football bounced off the near post!
The alert has not been lifted!
Lin Zhiyuan, who fell to the ground, saw the football bounce back to the goal. He quickly struggled to get up again and made a second save.
Not far away, Team Yao and Hu Lai were entangled. Neither of them had gotten up yet. The most terrifying person could not threaten his goal for the time being...
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he saw a figure passing in front of his eyes.
“Chen Xingyi!!”
"Chance!!"
The volcano at the Provincial Sports Center erupted again.
Lin Zhiyuan had no time to adjust his body in a hurry. Before he could get up from the ground, he barely ejected and opened his body to expand the defensive area, hoping that he could block Chen Xingyi's shot.
Chen Xingyi fought his way out of the crowd, ran towards the spot where the football landed, and then raised his right foot.
Push the bouncing football toward the goal that is just a short distance away.
Before Lin Zhiyuan pounced, the football flew into the South China Tiger's goal!
“Chen Xingyi made a good kick!! Flash Star reversed the lead! Beautiful!!”
"Although Lin Zhiyuan made a wonderful save and blocked Hu Lai's shot, he still failed to completely save the team's fate...Chen Xingyi cleverly appeared where he was needed most! Behind the South China Tigers
When the defense line was attracted by Hu Lai, he gave the opponent a fatal blow!"
“In the 43rd minute, at the end of the first half, Flash Star scored again! This time it was Chen Xingyi who scored! Flash Star’s indiscriminate bombing in the first half has paid off!”
After scoring the goal, Chen Xingyi first turned his head to confirm that the football had entered the goal, and then he opened his arms and ran towards the corner flag area. He sometimes turned to the left and sometimes turned back to the right, just like a glider on the green field.
In the end, he landed directly in a dive, spread his arms, and slid on the turf with his body!
Then Zhang Qinghuan also opened his arms and swooped down to him, then turned over and hugged him.
More Flash Star players followed closely behind, rushing over to press them.
