Fox in the Penalty Area

After the start of the game, although Flash Star was at their home court, they played very cautiously, mainly focusing on defense. After losing the ball, they would quickly recover the half court.

This is probing.

After all, this team is also the first time to fight a Chinese Super League team in an official game.

Even if the opponent is the tenth in the Chinese Super League, it is still a Chinese Super League team, the real thing.

Moreover, Haihe Shuanggang is not the kind of team that was promoted to the Chinese Super League in the first two years. They have been in this level of league since they were promoted to the Chinese Super League in 2000, and it has been 23 years now. Although the team's performance has always been average, it has been in the middle for many years.

But in the fiercely competitive Chinese Super League, being able to participate in the competition for 23 consecutive years is enough to show the strength of Haihe Shuanggang.

So although there were loud slogans in the locker room before the game, everyone in Flash Star, whether they were players or coaches, were still very cautious.

Even though it was at home, they played as carefully as if they were away.

This probing lasted twenty minutes.

Flashing Star gradually discovered that Haihe Shuanggang's offensive was not as violent as they imagined. If it was an attack of this level, then their defense line could withstand it.

This is the experience of the defensive players.

And on the offensive side...

In the 21st minute, Chen Xingyi used his speed to pass the ball on the left side and opened up Haihe Shuanggang's right back Jiang Rong.

When he used his speed to forcibly overtake another car, huge cheers erupted from the stands of the Provincial Sports Center. Although this is only a breakthrough and has not yet threatened the goal of Haihe Shuanggang, the cheers of the Flash Star fans are still deafening.

That Jiang Rong is not a replaced backup guard, but the main guard of Haihe Shuanggang!

"Facing Jiang Rong, the main full-back of Haihe Shuanggang, Chen Xingyi did not show any timidity. If he said he would attack him, he would attack him! A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!" The voice of the commentator of Anton Satellite TV was excited.

Chen Xingyi, who broke through Jiang Rong, finally passed the football to the goal.

Hu Lai failed to grab the point, and the ball was pushed out by Haihe Shuanggang's central defender Fan Hongpeng.

Even so, the stands of the Provincial Sports Center were full of cheers and shouts.

In the first 20 minutes of the game, because Shining Star chose to shrink and explore, they were very passive on the scene. Fans of Shining Star are naturally not in a high mood. They are always worried that their team's goal will be breached. After all, the opponent is a powerful Chinese Super League team...

In this way, the Xingxing fans who have always been nervous saw Chen Xingyi's breakthrough, and naturally released all the emotions that had been accumulated before. So the decibels of the cheers were as loud as scoring a goal.

Although no goal was scored, this attack is of great significance to Flash Star.

The defensive end felt that Haihe Shuanggang's offensive pressure was not high, and the offensive end used this wonderful man-to-ball score to prove that Haihe Shuanggang's defense in the Super League was not impeccable.

That being the case, some will fight.

Thus, the trial phase ends.

After successfully clearing the siege, Fan Hongpeng turned his head and glanced at Hu Lai beside him.

To be honest, Jiang Rong's performance just now was indeed a bit embarrassing, but Flash Star's offense will always return to the middle, and he will never let the kid next to him have a chance to get the ball.

"Fan Hongpeng's header is excellent, coupled with his excellent strength, Hu Lai may not be able to take advantage of the header..." Chen Mo was discussing with Zhao Kangming on the Xingxing coach's bench.

"His frontal defense ability is really good, but he is too bulky and slow to turn around. That's why we will arrange tactics against him. It happens that this game can also be used to see the performance of the Trident against the Super League team." Zhao Kangming was crossing his legs on the coach's bench, not very worried about this problem.

Wei Daqun didn't come, only Fan Hongpeng, Haihe Shuanggang's main central defender combination lost one, and the power is not as simple as halving.

Wei Daqun has more experience,

Playing football uses more brains. And Fan Hongpeng relied on his good physical condition, and he preferred to use his body instead of thinking much when defending.

To play such a defender is to use the tacit cooperation between the tridents to make him dizzy.

This is the strategy given by Zhao Kangming against Fan Hongpeng before the game.

Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi, and Zhang Qinghuan will not have such a clear division of labor. Chen Xingyi will not only be responsible for the assault, and Hu Lai will not only be responsible for waiting in front of the goal for his teammates to pass the ball to him. Not just passing the ball to two guys in the back.

When the timing is right, the distance between the three of them will be closer, and they will be closely connected, and then focus on Fan Hongpeng as the direction of attack, and constantly put pressure on him, making him focus on one thing and lose another.

Of course Zhao Kangming knew that Fan Hongpeng had excellent frontal defense and was physically strong, so he had no intention of letting Hu Lai fight Fan Hongpeng single-handedly.

A football game is not a duel between knights in the Middle Ages. One man, one horse and one spear, just charge at a distance.

It takes brains.

To be honest, if Kuang Mingjian had brought Wei Daqun instead of Fan Hongpeng, Zhao Kangming would not have used this tactic, because for Wei Daqun, who is good at commanding the defense, it would not be very effective by himself.

However, Kuang Mingjian asked Wei Daqun to rest, and Fan Hongpeng was brought along. Perhaps Kuang Mingjian also studied Hu Lai, and felt that with Fan Hongpeng's physical condition, he could completely crush Hu Lai?

※※※

Fan Hongpeng soon discovered that he didn't just need to defend Hu Lai.

Sometimes Hu Lai will not appear on his side, but will look for the young central defender Han Yan who replaced Wei Daqun in the game.

Han Yan is the team's backup central defender. He is 25 years old this year. As a professional player, this age is not too young. But compared with the 29-year-old Fan Hongpeng and the 31-year-old Wei Daqun, they are still "young players".

Because of Fan Hongpeng and Wei Daqun's two partners, and because he is over 23 years old and cannot enjoy the U23 policy of the Football Association, he doesn't have many opportunities to play.

For a player like him who can't get up and down, the FA Cup is one of the few opportunities to start.

In this FA Cup match, he was sent to the field by Director Kuang.

When Hu Lai went to find Han Yan, Chen Xingyi would come to confront Fan Hongpeng.

Sometimes, Zhang Qinghuan will also enter the penalty area, like a center forward.

But whether it was Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi or Zhang Qinghuan, Fan Hongpeng didn't care.

In his eyes, these are the three little ones.

The tallest one was Chen Xingyi. He was 1.84 meters tall, but he was too thin to withstand his oppression.

Zhang Qinghuan is 1.82 meters tall, and he is not a player with such excellent physical fitness.

Not to mention that Hu Lai at the end, who is not even 1.8 meters tall, he is a younger brother in front of his eyes.

Any one of these three people, in the eyes of Fan Hongpeng, is the same as giving away for nothing.

But soon Fan Hongpeng discovered something was wrong.

Because these three people didn't come up to fight him one-on-one, but... a group fight!

When Zhang Qinghuan appeared in the middle, he was ready to intercept Zhang Qinghuan head-on, but Zhang Qinghuan turned around and passed the football to Chen Xingyi. Chen Xingyi shot a long shot directly outside the penalty area, over the crossbar.

The next time Shan Xing attacked, it was Chen Xingyi who faced him.

When Chen Xingyi changed direction continuously so that he was already a little unsteady, he suddenly sent the football to the space in the ribs, where Hu Lai directly kicked and shot, a little on point, and was hugged by the team's goalkeeper Huang Anjie. arms.

Although they didn't score any goals, in Fan Hongpeng's view, every attack threatened the goal behind him.

Clearly, he was in trouble.

On the coaching bench of Haihe Shuanggang, head coach Kuang Mingjian saw this scene and began to regret why it was Fan Hongpeng who brought Jincheng instead of Wei Daqun.

He didn't expect Flashing Star's frontcourt trident to cooperate so well.

Fan Hongpeng is not good at commanding the defense line, Wei Daqun usually does this kind of thing, he just needs to listen to Wei Daqun's command, and then go to the defense.

Now when he becomes the breakthrough point of the flashing star trident's key attack, he can't command the defense to help him, and there are naturally some loopholes around him.

Kuang Mingjian began to silently figure out how to make adjustments in his heart.

He lowered his head and took out the magnetic tactical board, and used the small magnetic pieces to draw around on the board, trying to think about how to deal with it.

At this moment, he heard the cheers in the stands suddenly raised.

At the same time, the assistant coach next to him yelled: "Fuck, Chen Xingyi!"

He quickly raised his head and looked in the direction of his team's penalty area.

He saw Chen Xingyi's back, and saw him dribble the ball from the wing and suddenly cut inside, dribbling horizontally at the front of the penalty area!

The captain of Haihe Shuanggang, Tong Xin stepped forward to break Chen Xingyi's ball, but Chen Xingyi swung it away with a fried ball movement!

The cheers are louder!

At this time, Chen Xingyi has brought the football to the top of the free throw arc, and he can shoot directly!

But he didn't do this, but passed the football to Hu Lai in the middle of the penalty area with the outside instep of his right foot.

Hu Lai, who had his back to the goal, received the ball, and before Fan Hongpeng forced him up, he passed the football directly to the left side of the penalty area.

There, Zhang Qinghuan was cutting in from outside the penalty area.

And there was a huge gap, Jiang Rong didn't recover it in time!

Perhaps it was because Chen Xingyi's actions on the left side of Haihe Shuanggang just now made Jiang Rong feel that the attack could not reach his side, so he has been watching the show offline. When Chen Xingyi took the ball to the middle, he thought that he should take it in the middle, but after only two steps, the football was quickly passed from Chen Xingyi's feet to Hu Lai, and then Hu Lai stuffed it into the ribs free!

Fan Hongpeng had to be thankful that he didn't move so fast just now, so he didn't rush to Hu Lai's side immediately. Now he still has a chance to make up for it, so he quickly turned to Zhang Qinghuan, and rushed forward, trying to block Zhang Qinghuan's shot.

As for Hu Lai, isn't there another central defender, Han Yan?

When Fan Hongpeng turned around and rushed towards Zhang Qinghuan, he didn't see the scene behind him.

After passing the ball, Chen Xingyi did not stop outside the penalty area to watch the show, but resolutely advanced and entered the penalty area. His move immediately attracted Han Yan's attention. So Han Yan didn't go up to guard against Hu Lai, but stood in front of Chen Xingyi - he was really worried that Chen Xingyi was going to fight Hu Lai and hit the wall to cooperate. As for the defense against Hu Lai, isn't there Fan Hongpeng and Fan Ge?

As a result, Hu Lai turned around and passed the football to Zhang Qinghuan on the other side!

Haihe Shuanggang captain Tong Xin, who failed to defend Chen Xingyi outside the penalty area, turned around and saw Hu Lai passing the football to Zhang Qinghuan, so his attention followed the football to Zhang Qinghuan.

But when he saw Zhang Qinghuan catch the ball, he paused for a moment, causing Fan Hongpeng to pounce on him, but then passed the football back with his left foot!

Only then did Tong Xin realize the problem—Fan Hongpeng was defending against Zhang Qinghuan, so what about Hu Lai? !

He turned around and ran into the restricted area.

It's too late.

He saw Hou Lai swung his right leg against the rolling football near the penalty spot.

By his side, there is not a single defensive player!

Han Yan, who was supposed to replace Fan Hongpeng, was entangled by Chen Xingyi!

"A chance for a shining star! Hu Lai——!" Anton Satellite TV commentator roared.

The cheers from the stands of the Provincial Sports Center were so loud that they completely drowned out other voices.

Chen Xingyi's cheers when he broke through and passed Tongxin were completely incomparable to the present!

For Hu Lai, this is simply a perfect opportunity.

Some people stared nervously at the figure in the center of the penalty area, for fear that he would waste the best chance since the start of the Shining Star game...

But to be honest, people who can think this way must rarely watch Hu Lai's games.

Haihe Shuanggang goalkeeper Huang Anjie, who followed the football to Zhang Qinghuan's side, turned back with the football. When he turned back, he saw Hu Lai swinging his right leg, so even though he was not fully in place, he threw himself sideways.

Hu Lai hit the football with the straight instep of his right foot!

Boom!

The football is like a shell fired straight above the goal!

Huang Anjie, who rushed over against the turf, was destined to be unable to save the ball. He could only pray that Hu Lai's kick would directly hit the plane!

But this is Holly!

The football hit the lower edge of the crossbar, made a crisp sound, and bounced into the goal!

"Beautiful!! Beautiful!! Beautiful!!!" Anton Satellite TV sports channel commentator raised his arms and shouted hoarsely from the commentary booth. "Hu Lai! Opened the scoring in the 33rd minute, Shining Star took the lead in the game against the Chinese Super League team Haihe Shuanggang! The tacit cooperation between him, Chen Xingyi and Zhang Qinghuan tore apart Haihe Shuanggang in two or three strokes No matter it is Fan Hongpeng, Han Yan, Tong Xin, including the goalkeeper Huang Anjie, they are all played around by the three of them!"

He also said something later, but he couldn't hear clearly. The cheers on the scene were like a dense thunderstorm directly covering the provincial sports center!

Flash Star fans in every stand jumped up, and when they fell down again, the ground seemed to tremble!

Hu Lai, who scored the goal, ran towards the corner flag area. In the roaring tsunami, he did not make his signature celebration. Instead, he turned his back to the camera lens, raised his hands, and pointed his thumbs down to the jersey number and name.

Let me introduce myself again:

Goal scorer, Flash Star No. 14, Hu Lai!
