With Luo Kai assisting Barragan's goal, Hedong Thunderbolt finally drew 2:2 with Anton Shining Star in the away game.

Chen Xingyi fulfilled his promise and did not let Luo Kai score under his defense.

Based on the ranking gap between Hedong Thunderbolt and Anton Shining Star, it seems that the former failed to win the game, which is a pity.

But after watching the game, anyone will feel that the score of 2:2 may be a score that is enough to satisfy them for Hedong Thunder.

After Balagan received an assist from Luo Kai to equalize the score, they were not able to take advantage of the victory to pursue and finally win the game. Instead, Chen Xingyi almost stole the ball by taking advantage of a counterattack.

If it wasn't for the goalkeeper Hao De's brave performance to wipe Chen Xingyi's single-handed ball out of the baseline with the outside of his instep, they might have to leave the away game without a point.

You must know that although Flash Star has the home court advantage, because they have the AFC Champions League group stage to play, they have been playing double matches a week during this period, fighting on two fronts, and consume more energy. Hedong Thunderbolt was even more exhausted.

As a result, Hedong Thunder was beaten by Flash Star in the away game, and they were able to score a point in the end. They should really be grateful, not dissatisfied.

On Flashing Star's side, they are not convinced that they failed to win the game at home.

Chen Xingyi, who was saved single-handedly, knelt on the ground and didn't get up for a long time.

Many people were surprised to see Shining Star's lively performance at home. After all, this team is a newly promoted team, and they have experienced more games than other opponents.

As far as their two-line battle in the league and the AFC Champions League is concerned, it can be said that if it weren’t for the fact that there are mostly young players in the Flash Star team, and their physical condition is not bad, if they are replaced by a team with an older average age, their performance may not be as good as Flash Star. .

For example, the Dashun Golden Arrow, who had the largest average age in the Chinese Super League last season, had no choice but to give up the domestic league and focus on the AFC Champions League when they were fighting on two lines this season.

So they won the first place in the group in the AFC Champions League, but fell to tenth place in the Chinese Super League.

With the average age of the main lineup of the Golden Arrows, it is indeed difficult to cope with a consecutive week of double matches.

After the game, the Hedong Media was satisfied with the performance of the Thunderbolt, and said that they and the Flash Star teamed up to contribute a wonderful game.

But Anton Media was not very satisfied. They regretted that they could not win.

At this time, they don't think about Flash Star as a newly promoted team. Flash Star's goal this season is to avoid relegation. Even if they don't win this game, they are still ranked seventh in the league, and they are still far away from the relegation zone...

How can a relegation team feel dissatisfied because they did not win the third place in the league at home?

The local media in Anton seem to be influenced and changed by this team a little bit...

※※※

After the seven rounds of the league, the AFC Champions League group stage is also over, but Flash Star still cannot escape the fate of a double match in a week-the FA Cup is coming again.

As a Chinese Super League team, they entered the FA Cup in the fourth round this season.

In the draw against each other, they were drawn together with a second team.

The signing luck is not bad, and if there is no direct match with the Chinese Super League team.

After all, the FA Cup is a completely random draw, so theoretically speaking, it is entirely possible for Chinese Super League teams to meet Chinese Super League teams in the fourth round.

For the FA Cup, Zhao Kangming hopes to learn something from it, unlike playing in the AFC Champions League. Last season, he also hoped that the team could adapt to playing in the Chinese Super League in advance by playing against Chinese Super League teams in the FA Cup. But now that they are a Chinese Super League team, they naturally don't have this need.

He didn't even think about defending the FA Cup. To be honest, that doesn't mean much. For the flashing stars this season, the FA Cup has really become like a tasteless one.

Considering the intensive schedule of this season, Zhao Kangming decided to give up the FA Cup from the very beginning.

Of course, the so-called giving up does not mean giving up the game directly. Besides, it is also the FA Cup. Although it is a bit tasteless, it is not a problem to use it to train the team and create more opportunities for the substitute players to practice.

Therefore, as the defending champion of this event, Shining Star put on a full substitute lineup when they played against the second team, Gaoyuan Snow Mountain, in the fourth round.

Even though Shining Star has a full bench lineup, its strength is still much stronger than that of Plateau Snow Mountain.

As the only professional team in Plateau Province, Plateau Snow Mountain doesn't even have its own fixed home court.

Nominally, they represented Plateau Province in the competition, but whether it was daily training or competition, they were wandering in various cities in the interior.

Last season, they rented a university football field in Jiu'an City, Hexi Province for training games. Usually, the players live in the university dormitory, and use the card to eat in the school cafeteria just like the university students. The training takes place on the university football field. The game also directly regards the university's football field as its home field.

Why choose to rent the university's stadium for training, because the rent is relatively low.

This season they moved to Qingtang City, Qingnan Province, and continued to find a university to serve as a training base and home field.

In many cases, they have nothing to do with Plateau Province other than their names and sponsors.

But in fact, the club has always wanted to return to their real home to play, but unfortunately the altitude of the plateau is too high. If they really set their home court there, other teams will refuse to participate in the game.

Out of consideration for the health and safety of the players, the Football Association will naturally not agree with them to set up their home court in Lange, the capital of the plateau province with an altitude of more than 3,500 meters.

That's why the plateau and snow-capped mountains are like vagrants that no one wants.

At the same time, because it is impossible to set up the home court in Plateau Province, the sponsors from Plateau Province are also considering withdrawing their capital. After all, a team cannot bring benefits and reputation to the place where the home court is located, and it cannot even compete locally. How can it truly represent What about local football?

In short, although Flash Star played as a substitute, they faced a plateau snow mountain where they could not even guarantee normal training, and the rumors of the sponsor's withdrawal made people panic. They defeated their opponent 3:0 in the away game despite a slight backlash.

The reason why Zhao Kangming let all the important players rest, and didn't even take them to Qingtang City, was so that they wouldn't have to fearlessly waste their energy in games that they didn't play at all.

After all, there is still a relatively important game for Flash Star to play, and that game is also an away game.

In the eighth round of the league, Shining Star challenged Lingnan Poseidon away.

The reason why it is more important to Flash Star is not because of the grievances between the two teams.

In fact, for these two teams, most of the grievances have ended after the FA Cup match last season.

Zhao Kangming was respected and welcomed by the Poseidon fans. Sun He, who let Hu Lai go at the beginning, was also dismissed. Now there are very few gimmicks that can be hyped in this game.

Even the idea of ​​revenge can't be hyped up.

After all, there was a reason why Shining Star defeated Poseidon in the FA Cup match. It was indeed wrong for the Poseidon club to drive away Zhao Kangming, and to force Hu Lai to leave the team with insulting language. It was Poseidon's own fault first .

He defeated Seagod with such mentality, what revenge do you, Seagod, have?

If every time you lose a game is considered "hatred"... then on the list of Poseidon's hatred, Anton Shanxing, who has only fought against Seagod once, cannot be ranked no matter what.

Since there were no gimmicks to speak of, the attention paid by the media to this game was just ordinary, and it was not of the same order of magnitude as Dashun Golden Arrow and Flashing Star's three battles in eight days.

The reason why Zhao Kangming still thinks this game is very important to the team is because Flash Star needs to "reserve" some points before the match against the Golden Arrow and the Olympic Games.

just in case.

During the Olympic training and competition, if Flashing Star loses in a row, then with the current points, it will not be too miserable and fall into the mud.

To put it simply, Flash Star must do its best to fight for every point it can win in the league.

Zhao Kangming himself was not satisfied with not winning the Thunderbolt at home, not to mention Anton's local media.

He had hoped that at home he would be able to win the league's third-ranked Hedong Thunder... As a result, the three points he got turned into one point. Zhao Kangming hated it...

In order to win the away game against Poseidon, Zhao Kangming started preparations in advance this time, letting the main players rest at home and recharge their batteries before following him to Lingnan City to challenge Poseidon away.

He came up with the strongest lineup he could come up with, so murderous. It wasn't for revenge on Sea God, but Sea God happened to be in his way to earn points.

Lingnan Poseidon's life has not been easy this season.

They finally ranked sixth last season. Although they did not qualify to participate in the AFC Champions League, this ranking can also be ranked in the middle and upper reaches of all 16 Chinese Super League teams.

Although it is a pity that they were eliminated by a team in the FA Cup, but with their strength, it may be difficult to defeat Dashun Golden Arrow in the final.

Thinking about it this way, I feel that the team's performance last season was quite good and quite satisfactory.

Originally, all Poseidon fans hoped that the team's performance this season would go up to a higher level, steadily increasing every year, until it qualified for the AFC Champions League and became a strong contender for the league championship.

But after the start of the new season, Sea God's performance went downhill, completely different from last season.

The team is currently ranked twelfth in the league standings. This term is exactly twice the difference from the team's final ranking last season. I don't know if it is a trick of fate... It is extremely ironic.

Zhang Qiang, general manager of the club, is also having a hard time recently.

The few signings during the transfer period have now proven to be relatively unsuccessful. Not only did they fail to enhance the team's strength, but the few players released also caused the team's strength to decline.

Of course, it was actually Zhao Kangming who upset him the most.

Seeing Zhao Kangming star in Anton, leading this young team to rank higher than Poseidon in the first season of the Chinese Super League, and also won the right to qualify in the AFC group stage and advance to the knockout round... It is impossible for Zhang Qiang to feel better.

At the beginning, it was he and Zhao Kangming who did not agree with each other and forced Zhao Kangming away.

As a result, the people who have been forced to leave now are doing well, and such a comparison is particularly heart-wrenching.

It's not just the public opinion of the fans, there is also a voice within the club-we should invite Zhao Kangming back, let him be the team's head coach, and bring his football philosophy back to Poseidon. Poseidon is a club that trains a large number of young players. We naturally have an advantage over other clubs in terms of young talent reserves. After Zhao Kangming came back, he was familiar with everything, and he didn't need to get used to it at all, and he could achieve results quickly. And with the relationship between Zhao Kangming and Hu Lai and others, if he can return to Sea God, maybe we can bring Hu Lai back with him?

Sounds reasonable, but there's a problem.

If Zhao Kangming is invited back, it means that Zhao Kangming's football philosophy has won the victory in the Poseidon Club.

Zhang Qiang, who disagrees with his ideas and has huge differences, as a representative of another school of football ideas, should he be killed first to sacrifice to heaven, so as to fully reflect the sincerity of the Poseidon Club to welcome Zhao Kangming back again?

So as long as Zhang Qiang is in power for one day, he will not agree to the club's decision to invite Zhao Kangming back. After all, he can't "I kill myself".

Because that meant making him admit that his line was wrong, and he had to be responsible for it, so he had no choice but to leave get out of class and leave.

So for Zhang Qing, the next game is also a very important game.

That may be related to his fate at this club.

If Poseidon can defeat Shanxing, he can also prove to the board of directors that although Zhao Kangming did a good job in Shanxing, the route I took in Poseidon is not bad.

In the football world, victory is the most convincing evidence.
