Chapter 520 is drifting away
With the goals of Wang Guangwei and Hu Lai, Flash Star defeated Poseidon, which was in poor condition, 2:0 in the away game.
Just the day after the game, new news of personnel changes came from Poseidon Club:
Zhang Qiang will no longer serve as the general manager of the club with immediate effect.
“It’s really overwhelming and everyone is pushing me...”
Chen Mo shook his head at the phone and sighed.
He was reading an online news report about Zhang Qiang's resignation. "Lingnan Evening News" also made a special report on the matter.
The following is a list of the bad things that happened to Poseidon Club during Zhang Qiang’s tenure as the club’s general manager.
In the battle of ideas, forcing Zhao Kangming out was ranked first.
In the eyes of "Lingnan Evening News" reporter Gao Youjun, this is the root of all disasters and the source of all evil.
If Zhao Kangming hadn't been forced away, Sun He, that uneducated waste, wouldn't have become the youth training director of Poseidon Club.
Let such an idiot-like figure take charge of the famous Poseidon Youth Training Camp. After he took office, he vigorously eliminated dissidents and favored nepotism, driving away Chen Mo, the head coach of the Poseidon Youth Team. He also sold Hu Lai at a low price in a humiliating way.
Under his rule, the Poseidon Youth Training Camp has plummeted in terms of training level and tactical concepts.
The brain drain is serious and people are panicking. He has turned the country's well-known youth player training base into a mess in just two years, and his golden brand has also been destroyed.
In the end, "Lingnan Evening News" concluded: "...for Zhang Qiang's term as general manager to end under the hands of Zhao Kangming and Hu Lai, it was a beginning and an end for him, and he was not happy with his retribution. It is a pity that Zhao Kangming's ten years in Poseidon Club My hard work has been almost destroyed..."
"Are you still paying attention?" Zhao Kangming is studying the team's opponent in the Football Association Cup, Meiling Rangers from the Chinese League One.
When they were in the Chinese League One, Flash Star played against them many times. However, since being promoted to the Chinese Super League, Zhao Kangming has not cared about the Chinese League One for a long time, so he has to re-examine this familiar old opponent to ensure that his impression will not remain in the past and lead to deviation.
"Why don't you just watch the fun." Chen Mo put away his phone cheerfully, "The Meiling Rangers will mainly focus on the youth team and substitutes?"
"Yeah. Fortunately, we are at home in this game, otherwise we would have to run back and forth."
"Actually, there's no need... We can just stay in Lingnan and go back after playing the FA Cup. Ha! Hey, it would be even better if the next league game against Nanhai is also an away game. We can stay in Nanling continuously. One week...you can still go home and see your parents.”
"What nonsense are you talking about..." Zhao Kang looked at his old partner with understanding.
※※※
The Flash Stars, who returned to their home court, indeed sent out a lineup composed mainly of youth teams and substitutes to face the Meiling Rangers.
Although this game was at home, Flash Star still encountered very tenacious resistance in the game.
The strength of the Meiling Rangers is indeed not comparable to that of the original plateau snow mountains.
Flashing Stars, who was on the bench, was forced into panic by Meiling Rangers at home. In the end, the game ended in a 0:0 tie in the 90 minutes.
The commentators are all saying that if there is a Hu Lai in Meiling Ranger, there are so many opportunities in this game. If you seize one, the Flashing Star will be won.
Obviously the Meiling Rangers played better, but now the game can only be dragged into a penalty shootout.
At this time, the substitute players of Flash Star showed their resilience.
Although their brilliance is not as shining as that of the main players, they usually train together. How could they not make any progress?
So even though they were a little embarrassed by the Meiling Rangers, they still managed to maintain a draw.
Although they clearly had the advantage, they failed to break the deadlock. Instead, Flash Star dragged the game into a penalty shootout, which was a heavy blow to the morale of the Meiling Rangers players.
Flashing Star, on the other hand, regained his composure.
In the penalty shootout, the Flashing Star team, which has stronger psychological quality, performed well and finally eliminated the Meiling Rangers with a score of 4:2, giving the substitute players another chance to practice in the game.
Of course, the next round of the FA Cup is a bit far away and will not start until July 10th.
※※※
After two rounds of the FA Cup, time has entered May, and the three most watched games are getting closer and closer.
Just the momentum of publicity and hype online will make those pseudo-fans think that the contest between Flash Star and Golden Arrow will be next week.
But actually no, the much-anticipated first leg of the AFC Champions League quarter-finals between Flashing Stars and Dashun Golden Arrow is on Wednesday, May 8th.
Before that, on Sunday, May 5th, Flash Stars would face their opponent in the ninth round of the league at home, Lingnan Nanhai, also a newly promoted team.
But now no one mentions this game at all, and no one cares about this game.
After reporters blocked Hu Lai outside the Liucheng training base of Flash Star, they all asked questions about Dashun Jinjianjian and Wang Xianke.
Even Dong Wen, the general manager of the club, was asked such a question, which forced him to reiterate his attitude on this matter-that is, to support Hu Lai unconditionally.
But apart from Hu Lai, the one who attracted the most attention was Chen Xingyi.
Because he himself is a player on loan from Golden Arrow.
Such an identity must make him very embarrassed in everyone's eyes. If he doesn't side with Hu Lai, what will other people in Flashing Star think of him?
If he sides with Hu Lai, what will his future teammates and head coach think of him?
After the reporters couldn't find anything new to ask from Hu Lai, they came over to try to dig up a big news from Chen Xingyi.
So during this period, Hu Lai and Chen Xingyi were together all day long. They walked side by side when they came out of the training ground, and they both took the same car when returning home from the training base.
It is guaranteed that when reporters interview Chen Xingyi, there will always be a Hu Lai by their side.
If a reporter asked a question that was difficult for Chen Xingyi to answer without opening his eyes, Hu Lai would interrupt from the side: "Come to me if you have any questions!"
Or, in the role of Chen Xingyi’s agent, he said: “We refuse to answer this question.”
Some reporters were so upset by him that they couldn't help but yell at him: "We are interviewing Chen Xingyi, not you, Hu Lai! Can you let us ask Chen Xingyi questions?"
Hu Lai sneered: "Don't think that I don't know what questions you want to ask. It's nothing more than sowing discord and fanning the flames. Let me tell you, this is a personal grudge between Wang Xianke and I, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
< br>
The reporter retorted: "How can it be a personal grudge? You can't challenge Wang Xianke alone. This is also a competition between two teams. When we interview a player on the team, it is always a legitimate request, right?"
"My teammates just want to pursue victory. They just go out to play the game. I am the only one with other thoughts." Hu Lai stood between Chen Xingyi and reporters. "So if you have any questions, just ask me. I asked my teammates and I answered for them.”
"You don't care what you said, right?" The reporters glanced at Chen Xingyi desperately.
"What's not included? I have an entrustment agreement." Hu Lai took out a piece of paper from his clothes and showed it to the reporters. It was indeed a handwritten entrustment agreement:
"I agree to entrust Hu Lai to answer reporters' questions on my behalf at any time, and his answer is my answer. Client: Chen Xingyi."
The reporters were dumbfounded when faced with the childlike entrustment agreement.
In the end, Hu Lai succeeded in forcing back the harassing reporters, and they all drove out of the training base in Xia Xiaoyu's car.
After they were far away, Chen Xingyi said to Hu Lai: "Actually, you don't have to be like this, Hu Lai. Didn't we all say it? We want to kick Wang Xianke out of class. Since he has already been dismissed, what do I have to worry about? ?”
Hu Lai shook his head and said: "Wang Xianke is dismissed from get out of class, but can you guarantee that no one in Dashun Golden Arrow Team is on Wang Xianke's side? When you return to Golden Arrow, you won't be afraid of revenge by some people? So now It's best for you to remain silent and say nothing, so as not to People will catch you. Let me tell you, those reporters are very bad. If you say something normally, they can twist it into another meaning and then spread it everywhere. When the influence is formed, you will be fooled. It can’t even be washed out after being put into sulfuric acid..."
"Why should I jump into sulfuric acid? That's the Yellow River, the Yellow River!"
"It's an exaggeration. Don't worry about such details. In short, until you return to the Golden Arrow, just don't say anything on this issue."
Chen Xingyi reluctantly accepted Hu Lai's kindness: "Okay..."

When the players from Lingnan Nanhai appeared at Dongsheng Airport in Jincheng, they saw someone looking at them in surprise, and heard someone saying to their teammates: "Why isn't this the Golden Arrow?"
His companion replied: "Ahem! The Golden Arrow game is next week!"
"Oh oh oh!"
When the Nanhai players heard such comments, they wanted to apologize to each other: Sorry, we are not Golden Arrow and we really let you down!
"Damn, I'm so unhappy! This game is obviously between us and Flash Star, why can they ignore us so blatantly?!" Liu Gan complained softly among his teammates.
"Look at what you said, Liu Gan. If a year ago, how much attention would our match with Flash Stars have attracted? But can the situation be the same now? Although everyone is a Chinese Super League team, we are ranked second from the bottom in the Chinese Super League. Ranked sixth, we are really fighting for relegation, and they are going to compete in the AFC Champions League." Goalkeeper Xie Fang shook his head and sighed.
Comparing people with each other is irritating, and this team competition is also irritating.
Everyone is a newly promoted team. How come the gap has widened so much after reaching the Chinese Super League?
Simply heartless...
Seeing Xie Fang sighing, Liu Gan became even more irritated: "I don't care about that. I know that if Flashing Star looks down on us, I will definitely show them how powerful they are!"

"The game is over! The game is over! After rotating the lineup, Flash Star, who played at home, still defeated Lingnan Nanhai 3:1 in the game!"
In the bustling Provincial Sports Center, the commentator of Anton TV loudly announced the results of the game.
"It was relatively easy for Shining Star, which sent only half of its main force, to win at home. It can be seen that, both newly promoted teams, Shining Star and Nanhai are no longer on the same level in terms of strength!" He Feng watched from the studio behind the capital. said the big TV screen. "Zhao Kangming deliberately retained his strength in this game. Many main players, including Hu Lai and Chen Xingyi, did not start the game. The Trident was only in the same frame in the last five minutes of the game... everyone It can be seen that he is saving his energy for the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League next week...next Wednesday, the same stadium will usher in the contest between Flashing Star and Golden Arrow!”
Liu Gan lowered his head and walked quickly to the tunnel with his teammates. Now he just wants to go back to the locker room, close the door, and shut out all the cheers.
Thinking about it now, in fact, the gap between Flash Star and Nanhai Team has gradually been reflected in the Chinese League One last season.
It's not that their Nanhai team didn't perform well, it's that Shining Star's progress was too fast, as if they were on a rocket, soaring straight into the sky, and then quickly disappeared into the vast starry sky, never to be seen again.
Behind him, Nanhai team coach Pan Hongwei held Zhao Kangming's hand: "I wish you good luck in the next game."
Zhao Kangming smiled: "Thank you."
"Come on, I really want to fight for relegation." Pan Hongwei let go of Zhao Kangming's hand, shook his head and walked towards the player tunnel.
