Chapter 417 Are we worse than an amateur team?
When the Flash Star players began to celebrate, the TV broadcast finally had time to do a slow-motion replay of Hu Lai's penalty kick, so that everyone could see clearly what happened when Hu Lai shot.
In the replay, Hu Lai swung the football with his left foot. Everyone thought Hu Lai would shoot with his left foot, although they had rarely seen Hu Lai do this before...
Golden Arrow goalkeeper Zheng Donglin also moved in the direction of the shot.
If Hu Lai really shot with his left foot, he should be 80% sure to block the football.
In the end, who would have thought that Hu Lai's left-footed shot turned out to be a feint?
With the help of multi-angle slow-motion replay, everyone, including the commentator He Feng, could clearly see how Hu Lai kicked the football out - he used his right foot that was supposed to be a supporting foot to stab the football towards the goal. The other side!
It sounds simple, but only those who have actually done it will know how difficult it is...
Many people can't stand, let alone kick the football accurately towards the goal.
Sun Yonggang, who was watching the game live in front of the TV, couldn't help but open his mouth wide after seeing the replay of Hu Lai's penalty kick, because he thought that when he and Xia Xiaoyu went to meet Hu Lai, he happened to see him there. He also practiced penalty kicks, and the way he chose to take penalty kicks was exactly what he sees now!
At that time, Hu Lai asked his photographer to delete the video. He thought he was afraid that he would make people laugh after the footage of his weird missed penalty kick was exposed.
Unexpectedly, as Hu Lai explained, this is his secret weapon!
He used it in the FA Cup final!
He Feng was exclaiming: "It's incredible... The penalty kick opportunity in this kind of game means huge pressure to many people. How many world-class players have to be cautious in the face of this kind of penalty kick?" ...But what about Hu Lai? He actually used a juggling move to kick the football into the goal... I have to say that his ability to withstand pressure is so strong! It's hard to imagine that he is a twenty-year-old young man... …Unbelievable, unbelievable...”
Yan Kang also smiled beside him: "Maybe this is Hu Lai's characteristic? Think about what he suffered online before the East Asian Cup match against South Korea. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been crushed by the huge pressure. . As a result, he scored a hat trick in the next game... So, I think this is the performance that Hu Lai should have, or... he really deserves to be Hu Lai!"
"You're right, Yan Kang. This young man has a lot of energy that many people lack." He Feng obviously admired Hu Lai very much. He replayed Hu Lai's goal. Keep praising.
Sun Yonggang, who was in front of the TV, agreed very much with this.
He also felt that there was something about Hu Lai that was not in line with "general common sense."
From the very beginning when he went to Dongchuan Middle School to shoot Luo Kai, but this guy stole the scene, he felt that Hu Lai was different...
His celebration, which was ridiculed at the beginning, has now become his signature, the one that most stirs up the emotions of the fans - as long as he does it, it will definitely make the Flash Star fans excited.
As someone who has watched him grow up little by little, Sun Yonggang has an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
It’s like how much it has to do with myself...
It seems to be related. After all, people still call me Brother Sun...
Sun Yonggang thought happily.

After Flash Star celebrated his goal, the players ran back to their own half.
Hu Lai, who was dragged at the back, turned around and shrugged at Wang Xianke as he passed the Golden Arrow coaching bench.
Wang Xianke was stunned at first, and then his face became very ugly.
He confirmed his previous intuition. Hu Lai was looking at him when he looked back before the penalty kick.
At the same time, Wang Xianke's intuition also told him that Hu Lai seemed to have a dislike for him...
Inferring from this intuition, Wang Xianke felt that maybe Hu Lai had heard something from his father, otherwise he should not have targeted himself in this way.
After all, the posts online saying that he and Hu Lixin might have known each other were just speculations without solid evidence.
It would make no sense if Hu Lai was particularly concerned about himself based on what he said on the Internet.
The only reasonable explanation is that this kid should know something...
When he thought of this, Wang Xianke's face turned as black as ink.
After Hu Lai saw the change in his expression, a bright smile broke out on his face.
This scene was also captured by the broadcast camera.
The commentator He Feng had obviously done his homework. When he saw this scene, he said: "It was previously said on the Internet that Hu Lai's father, Hu Lixin, was a professional player and once played with Wang Xianke in the Baishan Tianchi team. But it seems that He retired early because he was injured. Hu Lai may have been joking with Wang Xianke. This may mean that Wang Xianke and Hu Lai's father should know each other..."
As soon as He Feng said these words, Xie Lan, who was in front of the TV, turned to look at Hu Lixin: "Okay, now viewers across the country should know that you and Wang Xianke know each other."
Hu Lixin snorted: "He did it on purpose."
Xie Lan pursed her lips and smiled.
She let her husband watch this game because she wanted to desensitize him. Unexpectedly, her son did an even better job.
Didn't Hu Lixin not want others to know about this?
He exposed it directly through the CCTV platform.
Now all the fans watching this game know that Wang Xianke and Hu Lixin know each other. It will be interesting to see how Wang Xianke will face the questions from media reporters.
As a wife, Xie Lan sometimes has to worry about her husband's mood, but her son doesn't seem to care about it at all.
She thought it was pretty good.
One thing brings down another thing.

After Hu Lai scored the penalty kick, the score of this game was 2:1, with Flash Star leading at home.
But in the total score, Flash Star was one goal behind at 2:3.
Even if Flash Star scores another goal and equalizes the score, the situation will still be unfavorable to Flash Star.
So they still have to score, and they have to score more than one goal.
This time Zhao Kangming did not ask the team to shrink their defense after they took the lead, but encouraged the team to continue attacking. Since the ball has been lost, shrinking the defense is meaningless, because conceding one goal is actually the same as conceding two goals. The impact on the team is the same.
This means that we can no longer hold on and must attack.
The only difference is the difficulty of the attack.
The Flash Stars continued to attack the Golden Arrow goal, not caring whether this would put their defense under pressure - it's not that they couldn't think of it, but they were not qualified to think about it.
On the other hand, the Golden Arrow players seemed to have lost their energy after conceding the penalty kick.
Facing the fierce offensive of Flashing Star, they can only shrink their defense - yes, now it is Golden Arrow's turn to shrink its defense.
Even though Wang Xianke yelled and bared his teeth on the sidelines, he could not change the situation on the court.
In the end, it was the whistle at the end of the first half that saved Dashun Golden Arrow.
"At the end of the first half... the score is temporarily leading Dashun Golden Arrow 2:1, but the total score is 2:3 behind. Although they are still at a disadvantage, Flashing's performance in the first half left a very deep impression on people. Impression. They faced the Golden Arrow who was far stronger than them, but they played poorly. Very proactive... I believe that if the first half can end a little later, maybe Flash Star can score a goal... I am not exaggerating, it is true... After Hu Lai's penalty kick , I feel that the morale of the Flashing Star team is suddenly high..."
During the commentator He Feng's summary, the players from both sides walked off the court and walked towards the corridor.
Zhao Kangming stood by the tunnel, patting the shoulders of the players coming off the field one by one and touching their heads. He was obviously very satisfied with the players' performance in the first half.
In stark contrast, Wang Xianke turned around and walked into the tunnel as soon as the whistle blew in the first half, heading towards the visiting team's locker room.
When every Dashun Golden Arrow player saw this scene, they knew that they were going to be unlucky...
Sure enough, when the last Golden Arrow player entered the locker room, Wang Xianke walked to the door and slammed the door hard.
There was a loud bang that made some Golden Arrow players tremble.
After the door was closed, the sounds coming from inside could not be heard clearly from the outside. Only some high-pitched words could be vaguely heard.
Such as "shit", "fuck", "fuck", "idiot"...
If there was live direct radio, every word would be muffled, so everyone would only hear Wang Xianke's "beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep".
At the same time, in the Shining Star locker room, Zhao Kangming was telling "stories" to the players.
"...remember the amateur team we met in the fifth round of the FA Cup? We won that game quite easily. Although the opponent tried their best, they were still eliminated because of the huge gap in strength. The game After it was over, I went to shake hands with their head coach, and the first thing he said was to apologize to me for the disparaging words he said before the game. He said it was just to anger us and make us lose our composure. This way they can take advantage of it.”
It was the first time for the players to hear what Zhao Kangming said, because it was just a conversation between two head coaches, and Zhao Kangming did not tell them after that.
Now that it was the first time to hear it, everyone felt it was very novel and listened very carefully.
"The coach also told me that before the game, they had a sweet dream, and they seriously considered how to advance to the finals after defeating us, and finally defeat a Chinese Super League team to win the FA Cup championship trophy."
At this point, Zhao Kangming stopped and looked around at his players: "It sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? The head coach of an amateur team would actually consider winning the championship. Isn't he overestimating his capabilities?"
The players who did have flash stars in the locker room laughed.
But after seeing such a smile, Zhao Kangming put a straight face on his face and asked them seriously: "Is it funny?"
The smiles froze on the faces of the players who were asked.
"Is it funny that an amateur team wants to win the FA Cup? For outsiders, maybe it is. But I think for our team that wants to beat the Chinese Super League as a Chinese League One team, Second, the team that won the FA Cup shouldn't laugh, because you are laughing at yourself, not the amateur team." Zhao Kangming was very calm in both expression and tone, but when the players heard it. Come, but make a sound.
"Every amateur team wants to win the championship, no matter how different the strength is. As a Chinese League One team, are we still inferior to amateur teams in terms of desire for the championship? Are we all a bunch of cowards!"
"No, no!" Li Tielin shouted as the captain, and other teammates in the locker room agreed.
"We got two goals back, but we also conceded another goal, and it looked like things were getting worse because they had an away goal... But think about it, lads, our goal before the game At least two goals were scored. Now we also need to score two more goals..." Zhao Kangming spread his hands and said, "Is there anything different? Does it get worse? No, we need two goals in the first half, so why can't we score two more goals in the second half? No! Our two goals in the first half have fully proved that we are capable of scoring them!”
"Remember that amateur team, they are not unknown people who were eliminated by us, they also have ideals and pursuits. They dare to think, what can we not dare to do?! Since we eliminated them, we broke them If they have fulfilled their dream of winning the championship, then we must be responsible to the end and fulfill their dream for them... Is the gap between us as the first place in the Chinese League One and the second place in the Chinese Super League as big as the gap between them as an amateur team and the Chinese League One team? ! ”
After Zhao Kangming finished telling his "story", the air in the Shining Star locker room was on fire.
