Fox in the Penalty Area

"Okay, after the commercial, welcome back. It can be said that the first half of the Super Bowl was relatively flat. The South China Tigers had too much advantage and controlled the situation. The Flash Star only showed their strength at the beginning of the game. Yan Kang, what do you think of the performance of these two teams in the first half?"

Sitting in the studio behind, He Feng turned to ask about Yan Kang, the guest commentator next to him, his partner for many years.

Yan Kang said with a smile: "Actually, if you only look at the statistics of the first half, you will think that Shining Star played better. When the South China Tigers have an overall advantage, they conceded only one goal. How did they do it?"

After laughing, he said seriously: "But to be honest, I think the gap between Shining Star and the South China Tigers is definitely not just this one goal. In the second half, the South China Tigers' advantage will be even greater. When they score the second goal At that time, 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 rare advance The preview class can let them know what the upcoming Chinese Super League will look 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 Premier League and the Chinese Super League are completely different. If you prepare for the Chinese Super League with the mentality and thinking of playing in the Chinese Premier League, there will be problems. Flash Star can use the Super Cup to inoculate the players. How much can I adapt to the difference between the Chinese Super League and the Chinese Premier League in advance. Maybe this is the biggest significance of this Super Cup for Flash Star?"

In Flash Star's locker room, Zhao Kangming did not criticize the team for the team's conceded goal in the first half, even if the conceded goal was more or less related to the team's defensive mistakes.

After everyone came in, his first words were praise.

"You guys did a good job, we only conceded one goal in the first half. Of course, conceding the goal puts us in a relatively disadvantaged position. But we also performed well after conceding the goal, and did not allow the opponent to extend the lead. Now Let's talk about the second half..."

Facing the starting XI, Zhao Kangming raised a finger: "The first is defense. What lessons can we learn from the conceded goals in the first half? When the opponent attacked, we were compressed too flat. It was easy for the opponent to take over the space outside our box and the goal was conceded because they controlled the second point there. So in the second half, we had to resist their attacks and not let them get the second point. Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi, Li Rong, you three have to push a little further."

The three people whose names were called nodded.

"In the first half, you also closed too far back, which caused us to be unable to counterattack. This can't be the case in the second half. Even if our defense is tight, you can't close too far..."

Lin Zhiyuan sat on his own seat in the dressing room,

Spreading his legs, crossing his arms around his chest, he leaned back against the wall, frowning.

His head coach, Lehmann, was speaking quickly in German. After a paragraph, he looked at the translator, who then spoke out what he had just said in Mandarin.

Lin Zhiyuan could understand Lehmann's German, so he knew that the translation could not accurately translate what the old man meant.

That's not a big deal though, as long as the translator doesn't translate "you should keep up the pressure" into "you're fine as you are."

However, the translator hired by the club with a high salary did not make such a mistake. What he omitted were only some modal particles. Translate "you should keep putting pressure on your damn opponent" to "you should keep putting pressure on your opponent"...

Lin Zhiyuan didn't listen carefully to what the translator said, he was frowning and thinking about his own problems.

Throughout the first half, because of the strong strength of the team, he only felt some excitement at the beginning of the game, and the next game seemed to have nothing to do with him.

yes, that's ok.

In the first half, the Shining Star team had only five shots, and only two of them hit the goal frame. Among them, the one that made him most satisfied was Xia Xiaoyu's shot at the beginning of the game.

That was the first shot of the Shining Star team. Who would have thought that debut would be the pinnacle?

In the forty-five minutes of the first half, most of the time, he walked in the backcourt with nothing to do.

Walk out of the goal and go to the penalty spot. Then keep going, walk out of the big penalty area, and come to the top of the free throw arc.

Then he looked up at the front field and found that his teammates were rubbing the newly promoted Shining Star on the ground, so he continued to walk forward, almost reaching the middle circle, and then stopped. Looking back at his own goal, he saw that his goal and the opponent's goal seemed to be about the same size from here, so he stopped completely.

This is the safety line he drew for himself.

Then he started to retreat, all the way back into the penalty area, and began to walk around in the penalty area.

At the same time, I can't help but think wildly: If I can bring my mobile phone, I will definitely be able to occupy the cover of the Wechat campaign in the circle of friends today...

Just divert your thoughts like this, then look up at the sky, and sigh from the bottom of your heart: So I just made up the numbers?

Didn't you agree to have a showdown with Hu Lai?

This is the result?

He remembered what he had overlooked in his previous wishful thinking—with the strength gap between the South China Tigers and Flash Star, it would be very difficult for Hu Lai to get a chance to shoot, so why talk about a showdown?

Tsk, fight for your anger!

The translator in the locker room had translated all of Lehman's speech, and the old man's last sentence meant: "You guys did a good job in the first half, as long as you can force them not to play at the speed they are good at. Keep it up .”

The old man hoped to be able to limit Flash Star to the same level as the first half, but Lin Zhiyuan secretly fantasized in his heart that Flash Star could cause some troubles for his team in the second half, so that he would have more chances to face off against Hu Lai .

If Lehman finds out about his little thought, I don’t know if the old man will tremble with anger...

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 fight the South China Tigers.

During the intermission, Zhao Kangming also continued to arrange tactics with this goal in mind. At the end, he encouraged everyone to let go of the burden of conceding a goal, don't think about the score, don't feel pressure, and play normally.

It stands to reason that when the Flash Star players walked out of the locker room, they should all 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 his head and said to his companions who were walking together: "I feel uncomfortable."

"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. Strictly speaking, we are just newly promoted. It is not easy to concede only one goal..."

"No, that's why I feel uncomfortable." Chen Xingyi shook his head, looked around, and then said in a low voice: "Everyone thinks that we can't win 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 Flash Star in this game is to see if Hu Lai can enter Lin Zhiyuan's gate."

Having said that, he looked at Hu Lai and asked, "Hu Lai, do you also feel uncomfortable playing?"

Hu Lai nodded: "I'm very upset. I shot twice in the first half, and I didn't hit the goal frame. If this continues, that kid Lin Zhiyuan will really kneel down for me after the game, thank you My grace of not killing..."

He was a little melancholy and didn't want to accept this great gift.

Speaking of Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, at this moment Lin Zhiyuan came from the direction of the South China Tiger's locker room. After seeing Hu Lai, he went straight forward and said to Hu Lai and the others around him with his head held high: " I said, can you still do it? I’m almost catching a cold in the back, can I have some stimulation?”

His words immediately drew strong reactions from several people opposite.

"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 let you pick up the ball in the goal and find a herniated lumbar disc!"

"There is no hero at the time, making Zhuzi famous!" Xia Xiaoyu hummed beside him, and there was already a rift between him and Lin Zhiyuan.

Even Wang Guangwei couldn't stand it anymore: "Lin Zhiyuan, are you crazy?"

Facing the accusations from his former teammates of the Olympic team, Lin Zhiyuan didn't change his expression, he didn't care, he just stared at Hu Lai: "Okay, the contest between us in this game is not counted. The difference in team strength is too big , it makes me win and you seem invincible, which is boring."

Seeing that Lin Zhiyuan was making progress, Chen Xingyi, who was already suffocating his anger, said angrily: "Lin Zhiyuan, are you looking for trouble for nothing! Who the hell cares not to compete with you!"

The loud yelling and disputes of their group were very conspicuous in the narrow player channel, and soon attracted the attention of players from both sides.

"What are you doing?" Han Xiangfei rushed forward, "Want to fight?"

His voice made the players on the South China Tigers' side also nervous, they stepped up to block Lin Zhiyuan, and questioned the Flash Star players on the opposite side: "Can't afford to lose?!"

Seeing that the two sides were about to be at war, 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 to Lin Zhiyuan: "This kid came up to provoke us."

As soon as Yao Huasheng heard this, he put his arms around Lin Zhiyuan's neck tightly, and then dragged him out, cursing: "You're so damn capable, Lin Zhiyuan! What are you picking on!"

It looked like it was blaming him, but it was actually keeping him away from the center of the storm.

As for what Zhang Qinghuan, a teammate of the national team, said, Yao Huasheng didn't doubt it. It wasn't that he turned his elbows out, but that he knew very well what kind of character Lin Zhiyuan was... He felt that Lin Zhiyuan was indeed a person who could do such a thing.

Seeing that Yao Huasheng had already taken the lead to teach Lin Zhiyuan a lesson, Qin Lin didn't continue to say anything, but took his teammates away as well: "Let me go!"

He took his teammates and walked quickly towards the field.

On the other side, Yao Huasheng also brought his teammates to the field as soon as possible, not to stay in the passage.

The feeling of joy here before the start of the first half has long since disappeared, replaced by a tense low pressure.

It wasn't until he stepped onto the field that Qin Lin covered his mouth and turned around and said seriously to the young people following him: "The other party wants to provoke us, make us lose our minds, and make us mess up. Why do you cooperate with him like this? I calm down!"

After walking on the court, Yao Huasheng scolded very rudely: "Your brain is filled with water, right?"

Facing his scolding, Lin Zhiyuan laughed: "Captain Yao, don't you think that we have a better chance of winning if they are angered?"

Yao Huasheng was amused: "We South China Tigers still need to rely on this kind of outside tricks to become a newly promoted horse?! Get out!"

Lin Zhiyuan quickly ran away from Yao Huasheng: "Then I'll get out, Team Yao!"

Then he turned around, and from an angle that Yao Huasheng couldn't see, he still smiled smugly.

On Xing Xing's side, Hu Lai was patting Qin Lin's chest and reassuring: "Don't worry, brother Lin, calm down. Didn't you see that I didn't appear on the stage just now? There is no sense of existence!"

Qin Lin narrowed his eyes: "Are you planning something wrong?"

Hu Lai quickly waved his hands: "No, Brother Lin, what crooked ideas can I come up with?"

Seeing this, Qin Lin could only tell him: "You kid, don't flop in the opponent's penalty area! I'll tell you that you will get a card for flopping!"

Hu Lai was very wronged: "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 will play in the way I am best at! Anyway, Director Zhao also said that? Let us not be too ruthless when defending. The premise is that the position is right... I must show that kid Lin Zhiyuan! Brother Huan, you can pass the ball in front of me, if you don’t get it, it will be mine!”

Zhang Qinghuan nodded and looked at Hu Lai. Not only him, but everyone else also turned their attention to Hu Lai.

Facing the eyes of everyone, Hu Lai slapped his hands: "I think Little Xingxing is right. We are one goal behind, and others think we played well... Who do you look down on? What happened to the defending champion of the Chinese Super League? Last season's Golden Arrow is not good. Also the defending champion? Do it, do it with them! It’s nothing more than another result, either we are all killed by them, or we kill them!"
