Fox in the Penalty Area

When the sound from the stadium outside came to the locker room through the winding passage, it was no longer very clear. It could only be heard clearly when the sound was louder, and it was much weaker when the sound was quieter. It's like listening to the sound of the waves of the sea from a distance. The tide rises and falls, and the sound fluctuates.

It wasn't until someone came in and closed the locker room door that the sound of the tide was completely inaudible.

After entering, Zhao Kangming looked around the locker room, and the players all looked up at him.

"In a few minutes, the most important game of this season will start." Zhao Kangming said while everyone was watching. "I know, as a newly promoted horse, you have done a very good job this season, with an impeccable performance. Even if we lose the game, it will not affect this evaluation. But I also know that when this opportunity When it is in front of us, no one can turn a blind eye. Put those messy thoughts behind you, this game is actually very simple for us, we just need to win..."

"The team's performance this season was not satisfactory, but fortunately God gave us a chance at the last moment. No matter how bad we played before, as long as we win in this last game, we are still champions ... You must cherish this opportunity!"

Friedrich Lehmann was standing in the locker room, speaking with a serious expression.

The translator stood next to him and translated every word he said. Of course, there would be some differences in the tone. After all, the head coach Lehman can criticize his players severely, but he, the translator, can't pretend to be a tiger.

"This is our chance to make amends for our poor performance throughout the season. Beat the Flash and win the championship, it's that simple!"

Lin Zhiyuan straightened his back and looked at the head coach Lehman. Without the intermediary of the translator, he could better understand the imposing manner in the old man's words.

As long as we win, no matter how other teams play, we are the champions.

So domineering and confident!

We South China tigers compete for the championship and never look at other people's faces!

"We are in second place, only one point away from the South China Tigers. Some people say that the league championship competition has become a mess...but let me tell you, what is the mess?" Cao Wei, the head coach of Shanhai Sailors, hummed to his players , "Isn't it very simple? What we have to do is very simple, and that is to win the game. To win,

We have a chance to win. But if we can't win, what does the league championship have to do with us? "

Zhou Zijing clenched his fists and placed them on his thighs, still trembling slightly.

He just learned from the head coach that he will start the next key game.

Prior to this, he had only started twice in the league this season, and this was his third.

Being able to be arranged to start in such an important game, Zhou Zijing knows what it means.

It means that the head coach has given him great trust, and it also means that this is an excellent opportunity.

As long as he can perform well in this game and help the team win the league championship, then he can change his position in the team. Next season, he will not be just a hopeful star who can only come off the bench most of the time...

Thinking of this, Zhou Zijing couldn't hide his inner excitement.

"As the bottom of the four teams, we shouldn't think too much about it. I advise you not to think about the league championship or something. All we have to do is beat the Shanhai Sailors." Yan Li, the head coach of Hedong Thunder, is very strict He said that he seemed to be afraid that the players would think too much and not listen to his words.

"If you think too much on the court, you will suffer. On the contrary, people who are focused can win. So no matter what AFC qualification or league championship... don't think about it, just want to win. As long as we win Balls, there should be some of them!"

Zeng Chi took a sneak peek at Luo Kai, and found that the boy's face was as deep as water, and he didn't seem to be in the middle of the championship battle at all.

Not only did he admire Luo Kai more and more in his heart.

In the face of such an important game, it is difficult for many big brothers to keep calm, and they have to rely on the strict guidance of the head coach to remind them to put aside distracting thoughts.

And Luo Kai didn't need anyone to remind him, he did it himself.

How can I learn this pure and firm will...

In two cities, two stadiums, and different locker rooms, the four coaches emphasized to their players almost in unison:

victory!

There is only victory!

Just win!

Only a win will make their season of hard work worthwhile.

Only victory can satisfy millions of fans.

Usually, it may be said that "victory is not the only pursuit of football", but at this moment, victory is the only pursuit.

After all, there are so many fans out there, so many fans in front of the TV set their eyes on them, hoping that they can bring them happiness with victory.

After Zhao Kangming finished speaking, he did not leave first as usual, and then gave the players a few more minutes for them to express freely.

Instead, he directly opened the door of the locker room. Amid the tidal shouts, he pointed to the outside and said, "Get out now, and don't let those who support you down!"

The captain Li Tielin and the deputy captain Qin Lin stood up from their seats first, clapped their hands in different directions and shouted: "Okay! It's time for us to play! Go out and kill them!!"

The other team members stood up screaming, some calmed down a bit, while others jumped up straight away, and rushed towards the door of the locker room.

While yelling, Hu Lai quickly ran out of the locker room with his teammates in small steps, and walked towards the exit of the tunnel.

Today, his points are basically cleared, and there are only some unused training scrolls left in his system space, and there are no props that can be used in the game.

After the match against Huang Haiqingniao, the points in his hand can't even be exchanged for a [Lover's Red String] that can increase luck.

This also means that in this game that is related to the team's hard work for a season, he can no longer rely on the power of cheats, but must rely on his own ability learned in training and competition to defeat the South China Tigers.

Hu Lai didn't really care about this, and he didn't use system props in every game, only in a very few key games.

So without system props, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know how to play football.

Besides, for Hu Lai himself, the most important game of this season, without the help of system props, seems to be a very symbolic thing.

It was just a test to test all his achievements and progress this season. Without the help of the system, he could still beat a strong team like the South China Tigers and help the team win games and championships.

The system also didn't announce the task of the Super League champion this time, maybe it's because Flash Star can win the Super League championship is not just Flash Star's own business. Even if Hu Lai helped Flashing Star defeat the South China Tigers, if he wants to win the championship, it still depends on the result of the match between Shanhai Sailor and Hedong Thunder.

Since Hu Lai couldn't make the decision alone, there was no need to release this mission.

When walking towards the last passage leading to the stadium, the players of the Flash Star and the South China Tigers met.

They glanced at each other, then looked away, and no one paid attention to the other.

Even among the teammates in the national team, there were no pleasantries this time.

Even Qin Lin didn't go to chat with Yao Huasheng and the others.

Everyone seems to treat each other as air.

They are direct opponents for the championship, how could they have the leisure to chat and laugh together before the battle?

What if you chat too happily and feel embarrassed to kick up and down the court for a while?

The two teams stood silently in the channel, waiting for the referee team to take them out.

At the same time, I listened to the shouts and tsunami of the fans outside.

The mood of the flash star players gradually became agitated.

It's a championship fight!

And a season ago, they were still in the First Division. How many people would have thought that they would be able to wrestle with the overlord of the Super League and compete for the championship in the first season of the Super League?

Director Zhao is right. In fact, even if they don't win the championship, this season is already extremely successful and great for them.

But listen to those shouts outside...

How could it be at ease to stop there?

This is our home court, how can the South China Tigers win the trophy in our home court?

"CCTV, CCTV! Good evening, viewers and friends! Welcome to the final round of the 2024 Chinese Super League championship match! Anton Shining Star vs. Lingnan South China Tigers at home!"

He Feng and Yan Kang were sitting in the commentary booth of the Provincial Sports Center. The former was loudly introducing the situation to the audience in front of the TV.

He had to do this because he was worried that if his voice was slightly lower, he might not be able to cover the extremely loud noise of the scene.

"Yan Kang and I are presently explaining the match at the Anton Provincial Sports Center. I believe you can hear the huge shouts on the spot through the satellite broadcast signal... The match is about to start, but you can pass According to the broadcast footage, there are still a large number of Shining Star fans pouring into the stands of the stadium..."

In the TV broadcast, the stands of the Provincial Sports Center were basically covered by flashing star fans in red clothes. In addition, even the aisles and steps were full of people.

Logically speaking, this kind of situation is not allowed to happen, but the Flash Star fans are so enthusiastic, and I don’t know how many of the last ones who poured in didn’t have tickets at all...

"For Anton football, today is a historic day, so it is normal for Flash Star fans to be so enthusiastic..." Yan Kang said beside him. "I think after the game starts, the momentum created by these people will definitely bring a lot of trouble to the South China Tigers... Last season, Jincheng was the best division in the Chinese Premier League. I think they can still compete with the Chinese Super League this season." The best competition area..."

Before the words fell, the cheers on the scene suddenly increased, and at the same time, the DJ on the stadium radio was also shouting: "Let us welcome the soldiers of Anton Shining Star! First of all, number one——"

"Yu Zhiming!!"

The Flash Star fans at the scene chanted together.

"Players from both sides are on the field!" He Feng shouted, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the shouts of Flash Star fans.

At the same time, over another stadium in another city, the same cheers of fans echoed.

"Welcome our captain—"

"Jiang Wanqing!!!"

Fans of the Shanhai Sailors proudly yelled out the team captain's name.

Two cities, two stadiums resonate at this moment.
