Fox in the Penalty Area

v1 Chapter 168: Opponents in the semifinals

"...In the quarter-finals of the Football Association Cup this afternoon, after 90 minutes of hard work, the Flash Star team of our province finally defeated Haihe Shuanggang from the Chinese Super League at home 2:0, bursting out a little Unpopular..."

"...Before the start of the game, most of the media were not optimistic about the flashing stars at home. But after the game started, it was the flashing stars! The team's top scorer Hu Lai took the lead in the 33rd minute. After receiving the assist from Zhang Qinghuan, he shot the goal of Haihe Shuanggang with a clean kick near the penalty spot... After the lead, the morale of the flashing stars was high. They scored another goal six minutes later, this time It was Hu Lai who assisted Qin Lin, and Qin Lin scored a long shot from outside the penalty area...Although Haihe Shuanggang tried to counterattack in the second half, the team members of the flashing star were united and resisted the fierce attack of Haihe Shuanggang in the rest of the game. The score of 2:0 was maintained to the audience! Eliminated opponents in the FA Cup quarter-finals and advanced to the semi-finals!"

"...After the game, the Flashstar fans were still unwilling to disperse. They gathered outside the Provincial Sports Center outside the North Third Ring Road in our city, chanting slogans, cheering for the Flashstar soldiers. Be the bus for the Flashstar team. When the car drove out of the parking lot, it was greeted with enthusiastic cheers from these fans. The following is the footage sent back by the camera crew from the front..."

In the news screen, outside the Provincial Sports Center, the sky is full of sunset and the lights are beginning to shine.

At this time, almost an hour had passed since the end of the game, and there were still many Star Flash fans gathered at the exit outside the stadium.

They wore uniform clothes, waved the flags and slogans in their hands, chanted slogans, and sang in unison.

Obviously waiting for the team's bus to come out.

When the bus slowly drove out, there was a huge cheer on the scene.

Amidst the cheers, the camera captured the flashing stars players in the car who had changed their clothes, with smiles, waved to thank the flashing fans outside the car.

At this time, the flash was overwhelming, and the dark car window glass was illuminated white.

In addition to the fans, there are also a large number of reporters waiting here.

Tomorrow...No, this evening, there will be many photos and live reports appearing on the online media, and tomorrow Jincheng newspapers will also intensively report on the game and the stories and pictures behind the game. .

Although it is not the first day that the flashing star appeared in the media, it was not common before that it was so large and so grandly reported by the local media.

After all, this is the quarter-finals of the Football Association Cup, and the Stars defeated a Chinese Super League team.

The meaning of victory in this game is extraordinary.

Football has returned to the lives of Jincheng people with a high profile, and now they have to get used to this kind of life accompanied by football.

※※※

Flashstar fans will definitely call friends on this Sunday night, find hot pot restaurants, skewers restaurants, barbecue restaurants...and all other occasions where they can enjoy their drinks, and then excitedly discuss the game and flash The future of stars.

The internal victory of the Flash Star team will be relatively calm.

After the bus drove back to the training base, Chen Mo informed everyone to come back for the recovery training tomorrow afternoon, and the team disbanded on the spot.

On the way back, Zhao Kangming had already made it clear to the players that the victory in this game was nothing, because the opponent was obviously underestimating the enemy. So they still haven't tried their true performance against the Super League team.

That being the case, then do your best in the next FA Cup semi-finals.

At that time, regardless of victory or defeat, as long as you try your best, you will have no regrets.

On Monday night, after all the Football Association Cup matches, the Football Association held a draw for the semi-finals online.

In fact, the draw for the FA Cup semi-finals this time is just a cutscene, because no matter who the Flash Star draws, they can basically declare that their FA Cup this season ends here.

Or conversely, any team that draws them means being sent to the finals.

Flash Star is simply the "super luxury gift package" in the minds of fans of the other three Super League teams.

Yes, even though Flashstar has just eliminated Haihe Shuanggang, it is a small upset. But still no one is optimistic about their prospects in the FA Cup.

Because the remaining three Super League teams are the top six teams in the Super League this season.

Dashun Golden Arrow, the champion of the Chinese Super League last season, is currently ranked first in the industry in the Chinese Super League, and they are very hopeful to defend their title.

Shanhaihai is currently ranked third in the Chinese Super League.

Lingnan Sea God is currently ranked sixth in the Super League.

They are totally different from the tenth-ranked Haihe Shuanggang.

The most important thing is that since Flash Star can eliminate Haihe Shuanggang in the quarter-finals, no matter who is their opponent in the semi-finals, with the lessons of Haihe Shuanggang, how could it be possible to underestimate the enemy?

When the opponent is no longer underestimating the enemy, and the strength is much stronger than the flash star, what capital does the leader Anton flash star have to reach the finals in the FA Cup?

Therefore, being able to reach the semi-finals is already the final result of the FA Cup this season.

And this result is actually very good for them, after all, no one expected them to reach the semi-finals in the previous FA Cup.

I believe Shining Star himself did not expect to make it to the finals or even win the championship.

That being the case, wouldn't it be better to give up the FA Cup in the FA Cup semi-finals?

Because there are only four teams and only two draws are needed, the draw ceremony ended very quickly.

The final result is out:

In the first semi-final, Dashun Golden Arrow played against Shanhaihai at home.

In the second semi-final, Lingnan Haishen played at home against Anton Shining.

Zhao Kangming stared at the result of the draw, and Chen Mo next to him heyed: "I really doubt that the Football Association did it on purpose."

Zhao Kangming, who recovered his senses, waved his hand: "That's not the case. The Football Association might not even know the little grudge between us and Seagod."

"Anyway, we are going to return to Sea God, how do you feel, Old Zhao?"

"'Whether you win or lose, as long as you try your best, there will be no regrets and no regrets." This sentence is too early..." Zhao Kangming sighed, "Even if I lose with all my strength, I will still be a little unwilling."

Chen Mo nodded: "I also want to prove to the Poseidon Club management that their original decision was wrong. But if we lose the game, there is no evidence to prove that we are on the right path."

"Hey..." Zhao Kangming closed his eyes.

"Hu Lai, it turned out to be your former boss!" Wang Guangwei said to Hu Lai next to him after seeing the result of the draw.

"Isn't it? That's great?"

Hu Lai replied perfunctorily.

He didn't pay attention to the result of the draw at all. He was on the "Goal" website with the ID of "WHO in the penalty area" and friendly exchanges with Haihe Shuanggang fans.

"Yes, yes, you're right, Shining Star's victory over Haihe Shuanggang is pure luck! It is recommended that the Football Association declare the result of this game invalid and replay the game until Haihe Shuanggang can eliminate Shining Star!"

"Eh eh eh, am I not saying this according to your words? How come it is yin and yang? Or else you are wrong? Haihe Shuanggang was eliminated from the game because it is self-defeating?"

Wang Guangwei leaned over to see what Hu Lai had sent out on his mobile phone, and rolled his eyes: "Are you bored?"

"Not boring, how fun!" Hu Lai looked up and smiled like a child.

"You are not afraid of being exposed to the vest one day? You will be socially dead by then, Hu Lai."

Hu Lai waved his hand nonchalantly: "Don't be afraid, I am using this number registered by Song Jiajia's mailbox."

"..." Wang Guangwei was speechless, "I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing to be your friend... Hey, we will play Poseidon in the next round of the FA Cup semi-finals, don't you have any ideas?"

"Yes, I want to win." Hu Lai lowered his head and continued to line up with the Haihe Shuanggang fan, he said casually.

"Win? Is your brain online, Hu Lai?" Wang Guangwei was taken aback. "That's sixth in the Chinese Super League!"

"So what? Change to another team. If you lose, you lose, but if your opponent is Poseidon, I must win." Hu Lai said on his mouth, tapping his finger on his phone: "What? You lose or deny, and you can’t win on the court. It really makes me (delete) the flashing star very difficult, my friend..."

"How do you win?" Wang Guangwei asked.

Hu Lai shook his head: "I don't know."

"If you don't know, you must win?" Wang Guangwei was amused.

Hu Lai put down his phone and looked up at his roommate very seriously: "Pharaoh~lightnovelpub.net~How to win is something our Director Zhao considers. If I can figure it out, you should call me'Guide Hu 'Now. As players, we only need to cooperate with Director Zhao to show the determination to win. So no matter how to win, I must win, and I will let Director Zhao know this so that he can arrange his tactics. There will be confidence. Otherwise, if our players surrender before a fight, Director Zhao will definitely be very painful, right?"

When Wang Guangwei heard Hu Lai say this, he remembered that Director Zhao and the Poseidon Club also had grievances... He just thought that Hu Lai was swept out by Poseidon.

But in fact, in a strict sense, Hu Lai was not being swept out, but a normal transfer. Poseidon also received a transfer fee of 500,000 yuan from him, but they did not spend a penny when they signed Hu Lai.

Director Zhao and Coach Chen were really swept away by the Poseidon Club. They worked for Poseidon for ten and six years, and cultivated countless new stars for the Poseidon Club.

As a result, because of the disagreement in the concept, he was directly driven away by the top of the club-nominally speaking, the two coaches voluntarily resigned, which is just an expression of maintaining the face of the two coaches.

So if anyone in the Flash Star team wants to beat Poseidon the most, it must be Director Zhao and Coach Chen.

They certainly have a reason to do this, but if the players are unwilling to continue working hard for a game that is doomed to give up, then the coach's idea is sometimes useless. He must also consider whether his forcible doing so will cause dissatisfaction within the team.

Thinking of this, Wang Guangwei nodded: "Hu Lai, you are right, I also want to win this game."

Hu Lai smiled at him, picked up the phone again, and continued to line up passionately online.
