Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 495 There is always someone worthy of your high hopes

There were thunderous cheers in the stands of the Provincial Sports Center, the home stadium of Shining Star.

The fans raised their arms and chanted their signature cheering chants.

What made them so excited was the score change that just happened.

The two sides fought fiercely for 45 minutes in the first half, but the score has not changed.

As a result, the second half had just begun. After Flash Star played a successful cooperation, Qin Lin took advantage of Hu Lai and Chen Xingyi's help to attract the attention of the defense, and broke the deadlock with a long shot from outside the penalty area.

This is the first goal of the Flash Star Club in the history of the AFC Champions League.

It is also the first AFC Champions League goal born in the Anton Provincial Sports Center.

Regardless of the impact of the AFC Champions League on this season's Flash Star League, and don't think about what will happen in the future, at least when the football flew into the goal on the coast of Sydney, all the Flash Star fans in the stands jumped up and cheered .

They just want to enjoy the joy of the moment.

And with a little luck in mind-maybe the final situation is not as sensational as the media said?

"Qin Lin! Beautiful!! He helped Flash Star break the deadlock! He also helped Flash Star take the lead! At the same time, this is the first goal of Flash Star Club in the history of the AFC Champions League!"

When He Feng praised Qin Lin, Yan Kang quickly searched for information beside him, and then he excitedly said: "He Feng, I checked just now, Qin Lin's goal is not only that... It also made the goal more difficult. He has become the oldest goal scorer in the history of the AFC Champions League! There has never been a goal scorer in the AFC Champions League who is over 40 years old, and the 41-year-old Qin Lin has made history!"

In the TV broadcast, Qin Lin's face does have a lot of wrinkles, especially the nasolabial folds on the sides of the nose and face are very deep, and his image has changed a lot from his youth.

It can be seen at a glance that he is a "veteran" on the court.

When he left the South China Tigers, some media swore that Qin Lin's career had entered the final stage. Leaving the South China Tigers and the Chinese Super League meant retirement.

Many people seemed to have sentenced Qin Lin's career to death in advance.

Who would have thought that he not only led Flash Stars back to the Chinese Super League,

Can return to the AFC Champions League, and scored a goal as soon as he came back!

Where does this mean "entering the end of your career"?

Reminiscent of his retirement declaration after the Super Bowl, people have to sigh with emotion-why did Qin Lin retire in such a state?

Even if you can't play the main force, can't you play a rotation or a substitute?

Don't you think it's a pity to retire after only one season in such a state?

But Qin Lin was obviously "decided to retire".

After issuing the retirement declaration, he was also asked by reporters whether he would reconsider the decision to retire. He always answered very simply-won't reconsider this decision, and he will definitely retire after the contract expires.

Many outsiders couldn't understand why Qin Lin was so determined, and Qin Lin never said his thoughts to the outside world.

Everyone can only guess, maybe Qin Lin got tired of playing football...

The lead brought by Qin Lin's goal to Flash Star did not last long.

In the 66th minute, Sydney Coast equalized the score.

They took advantage of a mistake in the Flash Star's defense and scored a goal.

The previously hot atmosphere in the Provincial Sports Center cooled down a little.

"Ah... what a pity!" He Feng said regretfully when he saw the conceded goal, "But this is the AFC Champions League, which is the club competition with the highest level of competition in Asia. If you make a slight mistake, it may not be too big in the league problem, but in the AFC Champions League, there is a great possibility of conceding goals."

What he was talking about was the momentary uncertainty in the defense line of the Flash Stars in terms of mutual protection targets, and there was a situation of incomprehension between Wang Guangwei and Ding Yuanhai.

The two gave each other the ball. As a result, the striker of the Sydney Coast team seized the opportunity and snatched the football from between the two of them, forming a single goal and finally scored.

It stands to reason that it is normal for two people to have such tacit mistakes. On the one hand, the two people have not played and trained together for long enough. On the other hand, the situation at that time was indeed easy to misunderstand each other.

Because the distance between the two is very close and the football is between them, Wang Guangwei thought that Ding Yuanhai would come up to get the ball, and Ding Yuanhai thought that Wang Guangwei would control the ball.

The result was such a hesitation that allowed the opponent's striker to seize the opportunity.

After losing the ball, Wang Guangwei raised his arm and took full responsibility: "Mine!"

Although in fact, he is at most equally responsible for the loss of the ball with Ding Yuanhai, but as the third captain of the team, he feels that he still needs to take the initiative to take responsibility, and should not think about how to shirk responsibility after losing the ball, or accuse teammate.

His behavior made Ding Yuanhai couldn't help but look at him more, thinking it's no wonder that when the team voted for the captain, most of the teammates would vote for this young man...

From this point of view, Wang Guangwei is indeed very charismatic.

Sydney Coast, who equalized the score, boosted their morale and tried to take all three points in the away game.

After all, Flashstar is recognized as the weakest team in this group. Although Sydney Coast also lost to South Korea's Seoul LG in the first round, they only conceded two goals, while Flashstar conceded three goals.

So Sydney Coast certainly has reason to feel that they can get valuable three points against the weakest opponent in the group, laying the foundation for the right to qualify for the group.

They thought their equalizing goal had crushed the morale and confidence of the Chinese team.

There are also Australian internationals in the Sydney Coast team. They have played against Chinese national teams and know the level of Chinese players.

Isn't the Chinese team the worst at playing against the wind?

The psychological quality is terrible... I feel a little frustrated and I am about to collapse.

But when the Sydney coast attacked, they found that the situation was a little different from what they had imagined.

At least the weakest team in the group in front of them was not knocked down by conceded goals.

After conceding the ball just now, they shrunk their defense and withstood the attack from the coast of Sydney.

Originally, Sydney Coast wanted to find Wang Guangwei, a young defender, as a breakthrough point. They planned to take advantage of his unstable mood due to the loss of the ball to completely defeat him.

But soon they discovered that the young Chinese defender didn't seem to be affected by the loss of the ball just now... No, it's not that he was not affected, but he quickly learned from the mistake just now.

More decisive and crisp in handling the ball.

Even when his teammates may hesitate, he will take the initiative to shout: "I'm coming!"

Then rush up and kick the football out.

In the end, he also reminded his teammates: "Be careful!"

Zhao Kangming, who saw this scene on the sidelines, laughed: "This is why I asked them to go all out in the AFC Champions League. The young people really did not disappoint me...Some things you say ten thousand times on the training ground It didn't work, but put them through it once in a game and it made it all clear."

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Wang Guangwei's growth is really amazing. No wonder everyone was willing to vote for him as the third captain before this season."

"Li Tielin is gradually unable to keep up with the team's requirements, and Qin Lin is about to retire. Wang Guangwei, a young man with good roots, is indeed a good candidate for captain."

"Speaking of the captain, I thought that Hu Lai would be voted by many people. After all, he is very popular. I didn't expect him to have no votes..."

Zhao Kangming glanced at Chen Mo: "Old Chen, do you have any misunderstanding about 'good popularity'?"

Chen Mo smiled and shook his head: "Can you imagine Hu Lai as the captain?"

This sentence made Zhao Kangming think of the scene when Dongchuan Middle School won the national competition. The original captain suddenly tied the captain's armband to Hu Lai's arm at the awards ceremony, forcing him to lift the trophy as the captain.

The captain's armband seems to have magical powers. Most people will unconsciously calm themselves down when wearing this thing, and look more like a qualified captain.

But Hu Lai didn't. Wearing the captain's armband, he deliberately pretended to miss when he lifted the trophy, which shocked everyone present.

Zhao Kangming, who saw this scene in the stands at the time, also thought that Hu Lai had really lost his grip. He thought it was over, and the championship trophy was dropped just like that. Is this an awarding accident?

Unexpectedly, Hu Lai was just making a joke with everyone. After scaring everyone successfully, he held up the trophy with a smile.

That was the only time Zhao Kangming had ever seen Hu Lai work as the captain.

Zhao Kangming said with emotion: "Then he must be the most special captain."

"It's actually hard for me to imagine. I always feel that if Hu Lai is the captain, the words he said in the locker room will definitely make the new players who are not familiar with him feel that the captain of this team is not serious... ...But when the team is in trouble, many people, including me, will habitually look at him again, and always have some seemingly unrealistic expectations of him..."

Chen Mo looked at Hu Lai on the field and said.

Wang Guangwei once again broke the ball off the coast of Sydney, and he quickly passed the football to Zhang Qinghuan in front.

While holding the ball, Zhang Qinghuan raised his head to observe the situation in front of him. Seeing that there was no good opportunity to release the ball, he decided to take another control.

But it was the Sydney Coast midfielder who charged up and used his physical advantage to knock him away and poke the ball away.

The Flash Star fans in the stands let out a burst of exclamation.

But they didn't even finish their exclamation when they saw Junpei Morikawa nimbly sprinting out from the oblique stab, intercepting the football just stabbed away by the Sydney Coast player, and then quickly passed it to Zhang Qinghuan.

At the same time, since the player defending Zhang Qinghuan was no longer by his side, he calmly received the ball and turned around, and then directly sent the ball forward with the outside of his foot, to Chen Xingyi who was sprinting on the side.

"Flashing Star's Counterattack!"

Amid the sound of cheering from the provincial sports center court, Chen Xingyi raised his foot to stop the ball from Zhang Qinghuan, and then accelerated to rush forward.

Sydney Coast's full-backs snapped back and raced him.

Chen Xingyi looked up and observed the situation in the middle road ahead, and found that there was a lot of space, but Hu Lai hadn't run up yet.

So he took the football forward again, struggling to chase the ball.

"Chen Xingyi's speed is really fast!" He Feng expressed his sincere admiration.

When Chen Xingyi caught up with the football again, this time he didn't even raise his head to observe the situation in the middle, and directly passed the football to the middle with his left foot.

When Hu Lai faced the ball from Chen Xingyi on his right side, he swung his right leg and made a posture to shoot directly.

But when the football really flew over, he tapped the football lightly with his right foot, causing the Sydney coast defender in front of him to slide over.

"nice shot!!"

The shouts in the stands almost reached their climax at this moment.

Hu Lai, who dodged the defender, kicked again, this time it was not a fake move.

The football was pushed to the far corner by him, and it was too late for the Sydney Coastal goalkeeper, who was shaken by Hu Lai's fake shot and stopped just now, to make a save.

"Hu Lai's shot-beautiful!!! 2:1!! Shining Star leads again!!!"

It was as if a thunder had exploded suddenly over the Provincial Sports Center.

Amidst the huge roar, Hu Lai, who scored the goal, turned and ran to the camera in the corner flag area, and then made his signature celebration.

Chinese fans have seen this set of actions countless times, but this is the first time it has appeared in the AFC Champions League!

"Hu Lai! He scored his first goal in the AFC Champions League! In this way, he has scored goals in all the competitions he has participated in! China League One, China Super League, Football Association Cup, Super Cup, East Asian Cup, U23 Asia Cup, now on his goal list, the name of the AFC Champions League will be added! This young striker is running on the high-speed railway! What else is he unable to break the goal? What else is he doing? Things that can’t be achieved? Goal, Hu Lai! Send your voice to the world with goals!”
