Fox in the Penalty Area

"...in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup this afternoon, after 90 minutes of hard work, the Flash Star team from our province finally defeated the Haihe Shuanggang from the Chinese Super League at home 2:0, and broke out a small The unpopular..."

"...Before the game started, most of the media were not optimistic about the Flash Stars playing at home. But after the game started, it was the Flash Stars who scored first! The team's top scorer, Hu Lai, gave the team the lead in the 33rd minute , after receiving an assist from Zhang Qinghuan, he took a clean shot near the penalty spot and blasted away Haihe Shuanggang's goal... After taking 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 with a long-range shot from outside the penalty area... Although Haihe Shuanggang tried to counterattack in the second half, the team members of Flash Star were united and resisted the fierce attack of Haihe Shuanggang for the rest of the game. The score of 2:0 was maintained throughout the game! Eliminate the opponent in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and advance to the semi-finals!"

"...After the game, the Shining Star fans were still unwilling to disperse. They gathered outside the Provincial Sports Center outside the North Third Ring Road of our city, shouting slogans and cheering for the Shining Star soldiers. When the Shining Star team's bus When the car drove out of the parking lot, it was warmly cheered by these fans. The following is the picture sent back by the film crew from the front..."

In the news screen, the sky outside the Provincial Sports Center is already full of sunset and the lights are just coming on.

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

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

Obviously waiting for the team bus to come out.

And when the bus drove out slowly, there was a burst of cheers from the scene.

Amidst the cheers, the camera captured the Flash Star players in the car who had already changed their clothes, smiling and waving to the Flash Star fans outside the car.

At this time, the flash was on full blast, turning the dark window glass into 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 Internet media, and tomorrow Jincheng's major newspapers will also intensively report on this game, as well as the stories and pictures behind this game .

Although it is not the first day for Flash Star to appear in the media, it is not common for such a large-scale and grand coverage to be reported by the local media before.

After all, this is the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, and Flash Star defeated a Chinese Super League team.

The significance of the victory in this game is extraordinary.

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

※※※

Fans of Flash Stars will definitely call for friends on this Sunday night, find hot pot restaurants, skewer restaurants, barbecue restaurants... and other occasions where they can have a drink, and then discuss this game excitedly, as well as Flash Stars. The future of the stars.

The Flash Star team's victory in this game will be relatively calm.

After the bus drove back to the training base, Chen Mo informed everyone to come back for 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 obviously underestimated the enemy. So they still haven't tried their true performance against the Super League team.

That being the case, let's do our best in the next FA Cup semi-finals.

At that time, no matter whether you win or lose, as long as you do your best, you will have no regrets.

On Monday night, after all the FA Cup matches, the Football Association held a semi-final draw ceremony online.

In fact, the draw ceremony for the semi-finals of the FA Cup this time is already a formality, because no matter who the flash stars draw, they can basically declare that their FA Cup this season is over.

Or the other way around, any team that draws them means a walk to the finals.

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

Yes, even though Flash Star just eliminated Haihe Shuanggang just now, it was a little upset. But still no one is optimistic about their prospects in the FA Cup.

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

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

Shanhai Sailor is currently ranked third in the Chinese Super League.

Lingnan Poseidon is currently ranked sixth in the Chinese Super League.

They are completely different from the tenth ranked Haihe Shuanggang.

The most important thing is, since Flash Star can eliminate Haihe Shuanggang in the quarter-finals, no matter who is their opponent in the semi-finals, how can they underestimate the enemy with the lessons learned from Haihe Shuanggang?

When the opponent no longer underestimates the enemy and is far stronger than Shining Star, what capital does Anton Shining Star, the leader of the Chinese Premier League, have to reach the final in the FA Cup?

Therefore, being able to reach the semi-finals is already the final result of the FA Cup for Flash Star 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 that Flash Star himself did not expect to be able to enter the final again, or even win the championship.

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

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

The final result came out:

In the first semi-final, the Dashun Golden Arrow will face the Shanhai Sailors at home.

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

Zhao Kangming looked at the lottery result in a daze, and Chen Mo beside him snorted, "I really doubt that the Football Association did it on purpose."

Zhao Kangming, who came back to his senses, waved his hand: "That's not the case. Maybe the Football Association doesn't even know about our little grievances with Sea God."

"Anyway, we're going back to Sea God, how do you feel, Old Zhao?"

"It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, as long as you do your best, you will have no regrets." Zhao Kangming sighed a long time ago, "Even if I lose with all my strength, I will still feel a little bit unwilling."

Chen Mo nodded: "I also really want to prove to the management of the Poseidon Club that their original decision was wrong. But if we lose the game, there will be no evidence to prove that we are going the right way."

"Alas..." Zhao Kangming closed his eyes.

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

"Isn't it? So great?"

Hu Lai replied perfunctorily.

He didn't pay attention to the lottery results at all. He was communicating with fans of Haihe Shuanggang with the ID of "WHO of the restricted area" on the "Goal" website.

"Yes, yes, you are right. Flash Star's victory over Haihe Shuanggang is purely due to luck! It is recommended that the Football Association declare the result of this match invalid and choose a rematch until Haihe Shuanggang can eliminate Flash Star!"

"Hey hey, am I following your words? Why did you become yin and yang? Then what you said is wrong? Haihe Shuanggang was eliminated because of its own fault?"

Wang Guangwei leaned over and saw Hu Lai's words on the phone, and rolled his eyes: "Are you bored?"

"It's not boring, it's so fun!" Hu Lai looked up and smiled like a child.

"Aren't you afraid that someone will expose your vest one day? You will be socially dead by then, Hu Lai."

Hu Lai waved his hands nonchalantly: "Don't be afraid, I'm using the account registered with Song Jiajia's email address."

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

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

"Win? Are you out of your mind, Hu Lai?" Wang Guangwei was taken aback. "That's sixth in the Chinese Super League!"

"So what, if you switch to another team, you will lose if you lose, but if the opponent is Poseidon, I must win." Hu Lai said, his fingers were tapping on the phone: "What? This doesn't work ? You won’t admit it when you lose, and you can’t win on the field. It’s really embarrassing for me (deleted) Xingxing, my friend..."

"How did you win?" Wang Guangwei asked.

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

"I didn't know you said you must win?" Wang Guangwei was amused.

Hu Lai put down his phone and looked up at his roommate very seriously: "Old Wang, how to win is something our director Zhao considers. If I can figure it out, you should call me 'Director Hu'. As a player, We just need to cooperate with Director Zhao to show the determination to win. So no matter how I win, I must win, and I will let Director Zhao know this, so that he will have confidence when he arranges tactics. Otherwise, if All of our players surrendered before the fight, Director Zhao must be in great pain, right?"

Hearing what Hu Lai said, Wang Guangwei remembered that Director Zhao and the Poseidon Club also had grievances... He just thought that Hu Lai was kicked out by the Sea God.

But in fact, strictly speaking, Hu Lai was not kicked out, but a normal transfer. Sea God also received a transfer fee of 500,000 yuan from him, and they didn't spend a cent when they signed Hu Lai.

Director Zhao and Coach Chen were the ones who were really kicked out by the Sea God Club. They worked for the Sea God Club for ten and six years respectively, and trained countless new stars for the Sea God Club.

As a result, he was directly kicked out by the club's top executives because of disagreement in philosophy-in name, the two coaches resigned voluntarily, but that was just to protect the face of the two coaches.

So if there is anyone in the Flash Star team who most wants to defeat Sea God, it must be Director Zhao and Coach Chen.

They certainly have a reason to do so, but if the players are unwilling to continue to fight for the doomed game, then the coach's idea is sometimes useless. He must also consider whether forcing himself to do so will cause dissatisfaction within the team.

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

Hu Lai smiled at him, picked up the phone again, and continued the passionate online match.
