Chapter 510: Taking Advantage
After Flash Star scored in the first twelve minutes, Zhao Kangming gave the latest instructions to the team on the sidelines.
He asked the team to continue to strengthen the offense, not to shrink or slow down the rhythm, but to continue to put pressure on Wu Lishun Chang.
After he conveyed his instructions to the players with gestures, he turned back to the coach's bench and said to Chen Mo with a smile: "We also benefit from Hu Lai's treat and let them vent all their energy to the opponent." On the body.”
Chen Mo smiled.
Players generally do not invite coaches to get together. In that kind of situation, everyone will feel uncomfortable if the coach is present.
This is like calling your boss at a gathering of colleagues, asking for trouble.
Therefore, the players will not invite the coach, and the coach also knows this.
Although they can't take advantage of Hu Lai, they can take advantage of Hu Lai in this way.
Zhao Kangming's adjustment quickly took effect.
After the game restarted, Flashstar, who had already led by one goal, did not hold back, or got carried away and slacked off.
On the contrary, they continued to try to put pressure on Wu Li Soon Chang during the game. With the cheers of the home fans, their offensive became higher and higher, and Wu Li Soon Chang could not hold his head up. Can't get through.
Under such a sustained and high-pressure attack, Wu Li Shunchang failed to hold the goal in the end.
In the 21st minute, taking advantage of a corner kick, Ding Yuanhai jumped high in front of the Wu Li Shunchang goal and headed the ball. Amid the huge cheers of the home fans, the ball hit the net.
In order to allow Hu Lai to treat us, everyone was working hard.
You know, this is Ding Yuanhai's first official goal after joining Flash Star...
As a central defender, Ding Yuanhai has scored very few goals. Previously, he only scored six goals in his career with Lingnan Poseidon and Shanhai Lanyue.
As a result, he had just transferred to Flash Star and immediately scored a goal.
This shows that he has perfectly integrated into the team - integrated in every sense of the word.

"The team's condition today is really good! Although Zhao Kangming rotated in some positions, it seems that the team was not affected by the AFC Champions League in midweek. In that game, the Stars defeated Seoul FC 3-0 at home Jin, looking at it now, I feel that Flashing Star still has some strength left to deal with opponents in the league..."
"I feel that Zhao Kangming is very comfortable coaching Flash Star now... He knows when the team can make major rotations and when to make fine adjustments. Sometimes when everyone thinks he should rotate, he doesn't. On the contrary, it has achieved good results... Take this game for example. After the game against Seoul LG, everyone thought he would make a drastic rotation, but they didn't expect the Trident to change. Not bad, all started. When Wu Lishunchang saw that the tridents were all starting, he shifted the defensive focus to the Trident of Flash Star. Who would have thought that the other players of Flash Star would break out in this game... I think Flash Star is so good. The players and coaches of the team seem to have entered into a very mysterious realm. They are very familiar with each other and trust each other very much. They have a tacit understanding that is difficult for others to understand..."
He Feng and Yan Kang analyzed the game situation. Yan Kang's words were extremely exaggerated, mysterious and mysterious.
From a certain perspective, his statement was a hint, but he still couldn't guess the real reason.
Who would have thought that a group of players who were as good as chickens, working so hard, actually wanted to kill the team's top scorer, the core of the offense, the head coach's godson, and the team's favorite that everyone loved. ?
This kind of tacit understanding is indeed difficult for others to understand.

After his teammates all scored goals, Hu Lai, the team's top scorer, was not far behind.
In the 37th minute, Zhang Qinghuan broke into the penalty area with two beautiful spikes in the middle, but was brought down to the ground by Wu Li Shunchang's defender.
The referee called the opponent's defender for a foul and imposed the death penalty, awarding Flash Star a penalty kick.
Hu Lai took the penalty himself and hit the ball steadily.
"3:0! The Stars took a three-goal lead before the first half was over! Looking at their state, how can this be compared to the 90-minute fierce battle with their opponents in the AFC Champions League in midweek?!" He Feng exclaimed.
"I think Zhao Kangming's choice to start all three tridents must be a gamble. He wants to continue the team's excellent form and performance in the AFC Champions League in mid-week. Although there are some risks, if the gamble wins, the benefits will be huge. ...And now they should have won the bet!”
Zhao Kangming on the sidelines clapped his hands: "I got this meal, ha!"
After the start of the second half, Zhao Kangming gradually adjusted his substitutions and replaced three starting players including Hu Lai.
With ten minutes left in the game, three substitutions were used up.
He did not choose to rotate extensively before the game. Instead, he chose to ensure that the team won first, and then used early substitutions to give the players as much chance as possible to rest.
After all, Wu Li Shunchang is not strong. If Shining Star fails to defeat this opponent at home due to the rotation policy, it may lay hidden dangers for the final relegation battle...
As the head coach, Zhao Kangming must of course have a long-term vision. Even though the league has just started five rounds, he must also consider the situation in the thirtieth round.
Since we are fighting for relegation from the first round, we must try our best to earn as many points as possible.
In the end, with three goals in the first half, Shining Star defeated Vuli Soon Chang with a score of 3:0 at home and won their third victory this season.
After five rounds of the league, they have three wins and two losses, with nine points.
Currently ranked sixth in the league standings.
When everyone noticed the league ranking of Flash Stars, they were a little surprised to find that as a newly promoted team, Flash Stars ranked unexpectedly high.
Although the points ranking in the first five rounds of the league does not mean that they can ultimately successfully avoid relegation.
But last season's two newly promoted teams, Hexi Daqin and Capital Xiangyun, did not perform like this in the early stages of the league, and even suffered consecutive defeats.
The team seems very unsuitable to the pace of the Chinese Super League.
Flash Star does not have such a problem. This may be related to the fact that they have already played against the strongest team in the Chinese Super League in advance in the Super Cup...
Moreover, there is another very crucial point - the results achieved by Flash Star were achieved when they played double games in a row and took into account the AFC Champions League.
A newly promoted team has played five rounds in the league and four games in the AFC Champions League group stage. Except for an international match day in the middle, the other times are double matches a week. The schedule is intensive and the opponents are very strong, which is very difficult to play.
As a result, the team is now ranked sixth in the league and second in the AFC Champions League group.
With such results, what else is so shameful?
Although it is not yet known whether Flash Star will be able to avoid relegation in the end, but this performance is enough to make people take a high look, right?

After the game, the Flash Star players who returned to the locker room happily surrounded Hu Lai and asked him when he planned to treat him.
"I'm telling you Hu Lai, don't wait until after the next game. We agreed to invite us to play after we win." Teammates reminded Hu Lai, for fear that he would be pushed to the next game again. After the game, the next game is away to Sydney to play Sydney Coast, who knows what the result will be.
"Don't worry about this. I'll treat you when you win. I'll never break my promise. How about tomorrow night? If it's later, it's time to play away in the AFC Champions League. I don't have time." Hu Lai said.
When everyone thinks about it, there is really only time and conditions available tomorrow night.
So they all agreed that after training tomorrow afternoon, they would go directly to Hu Lai's big villa to have a party and relax.
Hu Lai said: "Okay, then it's settled. We welcome everyone to be guests by then, and no one is allowed to bring gifts. If you bring them, throw them out!"
"Don't worry Hu Lai, we are here to take advantage of you!" Han Xiangfei said very directly, and there was a burst of laughter in the locker room.

The next morning, all players who played in yesterday's game rested at home for half a day.
Taking advantage of this half-day, Hu Lai and the others first went to the community clubhouse, paid for people from the community clubhouse to provide equipment, and then went to their villa to provide catering services for everyone.
After all, with so many people coming to eat, it’s impossible for Hu Lai and the others to cook for themselves.
The community club itself provides this kind of service, which perfectly solves Hu Lai's pain points.
At that time, Hu Lai and his teammates only need to eat, drink and have fun, and there will be someone to serve them.
"What are you playing for? Are there any entertainment activities?" Chen Xingyi asked Hu Lai.
"Playing games, playing mahjong, playing billiards, playing poker... isn't this colorful enough? If not, you can also play football!" Hu Lai waved his hand.
"Hu Lai, are you afraid that everyone will come to the party again!" Wang Guangwei complained, "Come to our place to continue training after training!"
When it was time to train in the afternoon, Zhao Kangming looked at the eager players and tried hard to hold back his smile and keep his face serious.
Before training, he said: "I know what you have planned next, and I don't want to spoil your fun. It's completely okay to relax after you win the game. But I want to remind you, don't relax too much, we are going to go next Qin Lin and Li Tielin played away games in Sydney.”
He named two people.
"You two are the captains of the team, and I hope you can set an example and take the lead. You can have fun, but don't get too excited."
"Don't worry, Director Zhao." Qin Lin and Li Tielin came out to make a promise. "We are measured."
Zhao Kangming nodded, turned his attention to Hu Lai, and asked casually: "Hey Hu Lai, I think I heard you called 'club young model' before?"
Amid the laughter of his teammates, Hu Lai waved his hands repeatedly: "Director Zhao, that's a joke! It doesn't mean that I really want to invite young models to entertain my teammates... Besides, I don't have the resources! If Brother Huan from the past said Maybe there is..."
"Hu Lai, what the hell..." Zhang Qinghuan, who was in the team, didn't expect that he could be shot. He couldn't hold back and angrily yelled at Hu Lai in front of Director Zhao.
Zhao Kangming heard a "puff" sound coming from behind him, and he knew it was Chen Mo's laughter.
Zhao Kangming, who had been trying to keep a straight face and create a serious image for everyone, almost couldn't hold it in, so he waved his hand quickly: "Okay, okay, let's start warming up and get ready for training!"
Chen Mo blew the whistle hard, stepped forward, and led the team to start the warm-up before training.
Zhao Kangming looked at the energetic players on the sidelines, and a smile appeared on his face. (End of chapter)
