Fox in the Penalty Area

In the early morning of August 28, Beijing time, the 19-day Madrid Olympic Games came to an end.

Li Qingqing's Chinese women's football team finally reached the semi-finals of the Olympic Games and won a bronze medal. This is the best result of the Chinese women's football team in various world competitions after entering the 21st century.

At the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, Li Qingqing, as a representative of the women's football team, walked across the rostrum with other Chinese Olympic athletes and participated in the closing ceremony gala.

In the TV broadcast, her shot flashed by, and the time was not long, so no one could see the trace of loneliness from her smile.

In the evening of the same day, tens of thousands of Shining Star fans poured into the Provincial Sports Center to welcome the triumphant young Olympic athletes.

When calling out the names of the players of the Chinese Olympic team who have competed in the Olympics, the shouts of the audience were louder than usual.

Of course, the cheers Hu Lai received were definitely the loudest.

Facing the powerful enemy, Zhao Kangming did not give up in advance, and he dispatched the strongest lineup he could dispatch.

Fans of Shining Star have waited for two months, and finally they can see the full body of Shining Star.

"... Zhang Qinghuan doesn't need to be both a father and a mother, and he can score at the same time. Now that the top scorer of Flash Star is back, he can also be his own organizer with peace of mind. Zhang Qinghuan once said in an interview that compared with scoring goals, , he still prefers assists now. I think the reason why he said this and has the confidence to say it is because there is a very efficient shooter in front of him..." He Feng and Yan Kang also returned to China from the Olympic Games and invested In the commentary work of the AFC Champions League.

The stage has changed, but the mood of the two of them has not changed at all. There is a kind of joy of seeing old friends again.

The two of them were still joking during the commentary: "Honestly, He Feng, it's a good thing that Shining Star's home jersey is red, so I see Hu Lai and the others are not against the peace at all, and I feel that they are still there. Just like in the Olympics..."

Then both of them laughed.

The Olympic team is really an incomparably beautiful memory, which will remain in their hearts for a long time, and it is difficult to get out of their emotions for a while.

It may take a little getting used to before realizing that this is no longer a game for the Olympic team.

Yokohama Port is a strong team in the j1 league. Even though it is an away game, they played very well.

But Flash Star, who was playing at home, was not intimidated by the opponent's name when facing such a team.

They played proactively and created a lot of threats.

Fans of Shining Star are deeply touched by this.

In the past two months, Flash Star played seven league games and one FA Cup game without Hu Lai, Wang Guangwei, Chen Xingyi and Morikawa Junpei.

In these eight games, Shining Star has achieved three wins, two draws and three losses. Considering the lack of four core players, this result can even be said to be very good.

But the process of the game was definitely not what the results showed.

The reason why some games can be won is luck, it is the personal heroism of Zhang Qinghuan or Qin Lin, winning is very difficult and not convincing.

In some games, there is no way to fight back, which makes people completely lose hope of winning in the game.

The fighting spirit of the players is still there, and the spirit is not bad, but in the process of operation, it just makes people feel that it is not smooth, as if the machine is rusted.

At this time, the fans of Shining Star discovered that they had long been accustomed to the previous game style of Shining Star without knowing it.

Now, this familiar feeling has returned to the hearts of every Shining Star fan.

When everyone is in their right positions, it looks like the team is playing well.

In the 33rd minute of the first half, Flash Star launched an attack from the backcourt. After a series of inversions and runs in the midfield, Zhang Qinghuan moved the football to the left. Chen Xingyi cut inside after receiving the ball. Break through.

When he just broke into the penalty area, he saw Hu Lai's running position and passed the football.

Hu Lai, who was about to grab a spot in front of the door, suddenly took two steps back,

Pulling away the distance from the central defender of Yokohama Port, just in time to receive the ball from Chen Xingyi, he swung his foot and shot!

For this kind of opportunity where the goal is close at hand, Hu Lai has always been very stable.

Although the goalkeeper of Yokohama Port fell to the ground, he failed to touch the football!

"The goal is scored!! Hu Lai!! He scored again in the first game after returning to the club! This is his eleventh goal in the AFC Champions League this season, continuing to be the top scorer in the AFC Champions League Far ahead of the list!"

"Hu Lai has continued his good form in the Olympic team. As a killer in front of the penalty area, nothing can reflect his value better than scoring goals!"

Hu Lai's goal is actually mediocre, not beautiful, let alone a world wave.

But when he scored, the provincial sports center erupted in cheers as if Shining Star had won the game.

This is the belated cheer that the Flash Star fans sent to Hu Lai-in fact, when Hu Lai scored a goal on behalf of the Olympic team, they wanted to cheer for Hu Lai at the scene like today.

So instead of saying that their warm cheers were for Hu Lai who took the lead in the game for Shining Star, it was better to say that they were for Hu Lai who scored a goal in the Olympics wearing the Chinese Olympic team jersey.

Amid the deafening cheers of the audience, Hu Lai ran to the corner flag area and made his signature celebration.

Then his teammates at the club ran up to him, hugging, high-fiving and celebrating the goal.

Every flash star fan who saw this scene sighed in their hearts: This is the familiar feeling...

Although Hu Lai opened the scoring for Flash Star.

But the opponent Yokohama Port is far stronger than the opponent they have encountered in the AFC Champions League.

In the second half, Yokohama Port regained the initiative with its strong strength and evened the score in the 70th minute.

Then both sides had some chances, but they didn't seize them. Especially Yokohama Port, they almost even reversed the lead away from home.

Fortunately, Zhao Kangming made timely adjustments and strengthened his defense, which stabilized the situation.

But because of this, Shining Star can only be forced to accept the result of 1:1.

Failing to win at home, Shining Star lost the opportunity in the two-round knockout round.

The Port of Yokohama, which returns home in the second leg, has more leeway.

But to be honest, although they failed to win the game in the end, neither the Flash Star fans at the scene nor the commentator of the TV station expressed much dissatisfaction with the result.

After all, everyone can see that as a newly promoted polo team, Flash Star is already doing well this season.

In terms of objective strength, Yokohama Port is indeed better than Shining Star, and Shining Star did not lose at home, which is not bad.

In terms of subjective will, Flash Star fans don’t think that Flash Star can really win the AFC Champions League and can reach the top eight of the AFC Champions League. For Flash Star, a team that participated in the AFC Champions League for the first time, this is a good result. Leaves people speechless.

Zhao Kangming did not express dissatisfaction with the result at the press conference after the game. He focused on the performance of the players in the game. He was very satisfied with everyone's performance and believed that the team played what they trained before. , It also further played the role of training the team and accumulating experience.

In fact, after eliminating the Dashun Golden Arrows led by Wang Xianke, Zhao Kangming's positioning for the AFC Champions League is somewhat similar to the original FA Cup - training the team and accumulating experience.

It's good to be able to move forward, but if it stops here, as long as the team learns something in the game, then he is completely acceptable.

What he is happiest about is that after Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi, Wang Guangwei and Morikawa Junpei returned to the team after the Olympic games, they quickly worked with the team, found a feeling, and performed well. This makes him full of confidence that the team will meet his ultimate goal of the season in the future.

Of course, he didn't disclose this goal to the outside world. The news media and fans still don't know that Shining Star is now focused on fighting for the top three in the league...

On the one hand, if you say it out, you are afraid of arousing the vigilance of your competitors, so you will work extra hard when facing them. From the outside world's point of view, after Flash Star's early relegation success, it should belong to the kind of team that has no desire for victory or defeat.

On the other hand, Zhao Kangming is also afraid of being slapped in the face by the facts if he fails to play well. After all, he is not as thick-skinned as Hu Lai, so he still needs to save face. Besides, he himself is not the type of head coach who is arrogant and likes to stir up trouble in the media when he has nothing to do.

Just like the topic of relegation.

The relegation situation was obviously good before, but no matter what the outside world said or how the media reporters tempted him, Zhao Kangming would not let go, insisting that he was still not sure whether he could successfully relegation. Even if it looks like it's pretending...

It wasn't until later that he was really unstoppable, and after counting the points and found that even if he lost all the next games, it was impossible to be relegated, he changed his mind and admitted that the team had completed the task of relegation.

Many media reporters breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had also completed their mission.

This is Zhao Kangming's style.

Do things first and then talk about it, unlike Hu Lai, who blows out the cowhide first, and then tries his best to realize his bragging...
