Chapter 423 That’s our son!
Hu Lai scored his third goal in the 83rd minute of the game. To be honest, the time from the end of the game was not short. If injury time is included, there might be ten minutes left.
So strictly speaking, Hu Lai's ball is not a winning golden arrow.
If the opponent scores another goal in the remaining ten minutes to tie the total score at 4:4, they can still take advantage of away goals to win the championship.
So for Golden Arrow, the end is not yet reached.
But after the game restarted, the Dashun Golden Arrow players acted as if they were already behind by a big score...
Players made frequent mistakes on their own initiative and acted very impatiently. They seemed to be unable to think calmly. They wanted to shoot when they got the ball in the frontcourt, regardless of where their other teammates were and whether they had better positions and opportunities than themselves.
When He Feng saw this scene, he couldn't help shaking his head: "The performance of Golden Arrow is not as good as that of Flash Star, which was two goals behind in the away game. At that time, Flash Star was not so panicked after falling behind by two goals due to an own goal. measures. They still strictly adhere to defensive discipline, and finally In the end, we only conceded two goals. If Flash Star collapsed at that time, I'm afraid the final score would not be 0:2, but 0:4, 0:5... Then the second round would be natural. It really becomes a formality..."
"The Golden Arrow players were completely stunned by Flash Star. I think Hu Lai's overhead goal gave them such a huge psychological impact that they still haven't recovered from the shock wave. Yan Kang said. "How is Hu Lai's barb a world wave? If I look at it, it's clearly a nuclear bomb!"
He Feng laughed when he heard Yan Kang's statement.
Wang Xianke, who was in front of the Golden Arrow coach's bench, didn't want to laugh at all. He was baring his teeth on the sidelines at this moment and kept roaring loudly: "Put it down, down it, down it, and then hit it in... shoot your ass!"
"Don't pass the ball directly from the wing and then come back!"
"Damn! What the hell did you kick!"
The image of the coach who had been sitting on the coaching bench with his legs crossed, looking like he was "in control" was gone.
He looks so excited now, even a little angry...
But in fact, there is really nothing Wang Xianke can do now except shouting off the court.
All three substitutions have been used up, and there is almost no room for tactical adjustments he can make.
Because in order to defend the 3:3 score, his previous substitution adjustments were made to strengthen the defense. Now he wants to strengthen the offense on this basis, which is really difficult.
We can only rely on the subjective initiative of the players on the field.
But the players on the field were completely stunned. How could they have any subjective initiative?
The team has been in very bad shape recently, having just lost the league championship, and every player is under great psychological pressure.
Because they know that the FA Cup is their last chance and they must win it, otherwise they will not be able to explain it to both the head coach and the club.
But the greater the pressure, the worse the performance. This has almost become a common problem for many Chinese players.
Coupled with the 2:0 score in the first round, they slightly underestimated their opponent in the away game.
They should have won the game lightly, but now, they are lagging behind in the total score.
Everyone's mentality collapsed.
Golden Arrow's counterattack seemed to be fierce, but it was nothing more than thunder and rain.
The game time flew by in their unstructured, headless attack.
When the fourth official raised the sign indicating four minutes of injury time on the sidelines, no one at the scene could sit in their seats and watch the game.
The Shining Star bench was empty, and all the substitute players were already standing on the sidelines. They were shoulder to shoulder, holding hands, clenching their teeth, and looking at the court with nervous expressions.
Every star player knows that they are only four minutes away from winning the FA Cup.
But they also know that these four minutes are the most problematic.
Zhao Kangming finally used up the last substitution spot at this time.
He replaced Hu Lai with midfielder Shi Junde.
I also want to use this opportunity to delay the time to some extent.
I believe that with Hu Lai's ability, he will definitely find ways to complete this tactical task.

"Flashing Star Substitution... Zhao Kangming finally used up the last substitution spot. Sure enough, he replaced Hu Lai!" He Feng said loudly when he saw the fourth official holding up a sign to replace No. 14 on the sidelines.
"Actually, after Hu Lai scored, we felt that we should replace Hu Lai, but Zhao Kangming really tolerated it and endured it until injury time before starting to make substitutions..." Yan Kang said, " On the one hand, the substitution at this time is to delay time; on the other hand, of course, it is necessary to Let Hu Lai enjoy the applause of the fans alone... Let's not talk about the final result of this game. Based on his performance in this game, even if Flash Star loses the game in the end, Hu Lai deserves it. The fans applauded him! ”
The huge cheers and applause from the Provincial Sports Center were the background sound for Yankang’s words.
The TV broadcast was broadcast to the camera in the stands. All Stars fans who appeared in the camera stood up and applauded, staring at the figure walking towards the sidelines.
"Hu Lai has been replaced! Although the game is not over yet, the Provincial Sports Center burst into applause at this moment, and the Flash Star fans sent Hu Lai off with the highest courtesy! This is a ceremony specially arranged for him by Director Zhao..." Anton The satellite TV commentator also stood up from the commentary box and said with emotion. "The game is not over yet, and the outcome is still unknown, but Hu Lai's performance is enough to win everyone's respect and gratitude!"
The TV broadcast focused its close-up on Hu Lai, who turned around and slowly walked towards the sideline.
He walked slowly and seemed to have a slight limp.
"... In order to win this game, Hu Lai can be said to have tried his best. He collided with his opponents many times during the game, and may have been injured... I sincerely hope that it is not too big. Injury..."
Dashun Golden Arrow's midfielder Bian Li ran up and shouted at Hu Lai: "Stop fucking acting, get off quickly!"
Hu Lai, who was walking towards the sidelines with a smile on his face, suddenly changed his expression when he heard Bian Li's words. He stopped, turned back and asked Bian Li loudly: "Who acted! Who acted! Who acted? ?! I’ve been playing for more than ninety minutes, so why should I go faster?”
"You..." Bian Li suppressed his anger. After this match, he knew very well that as long as he dared to touch this kid, he would definitely cover his face and roll on the ground, and then delay the match.
So no matter how unhappy he is, he can only watch Hu Lai end now.
After quarreling with Bian Li, Hu Lai did not continue to stand there and refuse to leave. Instead, he turned around and continued walking off the field.
He just slowly moved to the sidelines step by step, as if he was really exhausted and couldn't walk.
At this time, Zhang Qinghuan ran up from the side, bowed and held Hu Lai up.
But he did not speed up to let Hu Lai off the field, but also supported Hu Lai at a very slow speed and walked slowly down the field.
Except for Bian Li, the players on the Golden Arrow side just looked at the backs of the two Flash Star players with slightly confused eyes.
Many people put their hands on their hips and breathed heavily, but no one thought to come up and accuse them of deliberately delaying time.
Wang Xianke complained to the fourth official on the sidelines: "They did it on purpose! They are stalling for time!"
The fourth official shook his head: "It is up to the referee to decide whether to delay time..."
The referee didn't say anything. He just looked at the watch on his wrist and had no intention of warning Hu Lai or giving him a yellow card.

There was constant applause in the stands. In this continuous applause, Hu Lai was finally sent to the sidelines by Zhang Qinghuan and completed the handover with Shi Junde.
"Go and rest!" Zhang Qinghuan patted Hu Lai's back gently, turned around and ran back to his place with Shi Junde.
Hu Lai did not go directly to the bench. He stood on the sidelines with a satisfied smile, raised his hands, and applauded back to the Stars fans in the stands who applauded him.
He clapped first toward the front stands, then to the left, then to the back, to the right, and finally back to the front.
He turned around and took care of the fans in the stands on all sides.
Every time he turned in one direction, the cheers in that direction would get louder, as if thunder was ringing there.
Not only in the stands, but also in front of the Shining Star bench and coach's bench, the Shining Star substitute players standing side by side waiting for the end of the game were also like fans, applauding and whistling at Hu Lai.
In front of them, Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo looked at the figure standing alone with smiles and patted their hands.
"The Andong Provincial Sports Center has not had such a scene for a long time, and it has not been such a hero for a long time..." He Feng suddenly sighed after seeing this scene. "Football in this city has been in decline for so long...so long that we have forgotten how crazy it used to be for football here. Now it is covered with grass, and people call it 'wasteland'. But in fact, all it takes is a fire. ...No, there is only one spark left to burn the wasteland to the ground Fertile soil. And the man in the camera was just an insignificant little spark at the beginning... He and his teammates, the little sparks that burst out gathered together to light the first fire, and then... …The wind blows, and the wildfire starts a prairie fire!”
Xie Lan in front of the TV pointed at Hu Lai in the picture and proudly said to Hu Lixin beside him: "That's our son!"
Hu Lixin nodded: "Yes." (End of Chapter)
