Chapter 1378 The rush forward without stopping
There may be a few Sporting Amsterdam fans who expect the team to make effective adjustments after the fifteen-minute halftime break. Then after returning to the court in the second half, everyone exploded, sweeping away the decline and becoming a completely different team from the first half.
It's a pity that such good things don't happen every day.
Atletico Amsterdam, which trailed by three goals in total and trailed by two goals in a single game, did not make a desperate counterattack in the second half.
In other words, they actually fought back.
But their counterattack failed to overturn the Madrid Pirates.
Even if they scored a goal in the second half, it could not change the final result.
And their goal came too late - it wasn't until the 78th minute that Atlético Amsterdam got a penalty kick.
Amantegui tripped Chen Xingyi in the penalty area and was shown a yellow card by the referee and sentenced to death.
The penalty kick was taken by Amsterdam Athletic midfielder Abels.
Atlético Amsterdam got a point back with this penalty, but it was too late to be of any use.
The final score was fixed at 2:1. Playing at home, the Madrid Pirates defeated Atlético Amsterdam twice at home and away, and also eliminated the Eredivisie giants with a total score of 5:3 and reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
Atlético Amsterdam failed to reach the top 16 of the Champions League for two consecutive seasons.
Their luck is also not very good. They have encountered very strong opponents for two consecutive seasons - last season they met the Madrid King when they were in the 16th to 8th place and lost even more miserably.
At least this season, I can still play back and forth with Madrid Pirates at my home court.
But this performance did not satisfy the supporters of Atlético Amsterdam.
In particular, the relationship between Munster, the head coach of Sporting Amsterdam, and the media has not been good.
Being eliminated in the Champions League round of 16 for two consecutive seasons will definitely make him criticized by the media.
How long he can remain as the head coach of Sporting Amsterdam is anyone’s guess.
Munster led the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League in his first season coaching Sporting Amsterdam, but this result could not save him. Especially compared with the current failure to reach the quarterfinals for two consecutive seasons, it can be said to be a setback.
Although Munster led the team to win the league championship, the Champions League is also the goal of this Dutch giant.
So actually before this game, there were rumors that the top management of Amsterdam Athletic Club was seriously considering whether to let Munster continue to coach the team.
Now being eliminated, it seems like this matter is a foregone conclusion.
"Little Xingxing, if Munster really ends get out of class, will it have any bad impact on you?"
When we had dinner together in the evening, Hu Lai asked Chen Xingyi.
Chen Xingyi frowned: "I don't know, maybe there is. Munster really thinks highly of me... If possible, I certainly don't want him to dismiss get out of class..."
He really wants to win this game. If he can advance to the quarterfinals, it will not only help the team, but also help coach Munster, and even help himself.
But now he failed.
Hu Lai didn't know how to comfort Chen Xingyi. After all, he was the one who personally ruined Xiaoxing's good situation.
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became a little awkward.
It was Li Qingqing who broke the embarrassment. She smiled and said: "I saw a saying on the Internet that Chen Xingyi is like water..."
Hu Lai pointed at Chen Xingyi and made a joke: "We know that women are made of water, so little Xingxing, you are a woman."
"Haha." In front of Li Qingqing, Chen Xingyi couldn't help but give Hu Lai the middle finger and could only sneer twice.
But Li Qingqing immediately avenged him - she reached out and slapped Hu Lai: "I hate it, don't interrupt!"
Then she turned to Chen Xingyi: "It means that you can take advantage of the situation and adapt to different environments, both in terms of playing football and personality. Just like water, it flows with the trend. If there is a mountain blocking the way, avoid it. . No matter what, I won’t be trapped and stop... I just thought this statement was interesting at first, but now that I think about it, it seems that it is really appropriate.”
Chen Xingyi and Hu Lai were both stunned.
Chen Xingyi thought about his career from the time he entered professional football in high school until now.
If he couldn't find an opportunity in Dashun Golden Arrow, he decisively sought a loan and would never try to continue to prove himself in Golden Arrow.
When he went to Flash Star, he didn't claim to be the "number one player in high school football". He insisted on competing with Hu Lai and stole his limelight and core position. Instead, he was willing to pass and assist Hu Lai on the wing. , to assist him.
This is true whether you are on the Olympic team or the national team.
Li Qingqing continued: "The article on the Internet said that you are not the kind of person who will get entangled in the current difficulties or situations. No matter it is a detour or a roundabout, you will not stop. But at the same time, you are also very adaptable. You can blend in carefully wherever you go. These characteristics are the same as those of water... The article also compared you with Luo Kai. He said that Luo Kai is the exact opposite of you. He is like a stone and never hits the target. The wall never looks back..."
Hearing this, Chen Xingyi couldn't help but look at Hu Lai: "Did you write this article Hu Lai?"
Hu Lai rolled his eyes at Chen Xingyi: "I'm not that boring."
Chen Xingyi laughed, turned to Li Qingqing and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Li Qingqing. Now that you say it, it doesn't really matter to me whether to change coaches or not. Anyway, no matter which coach comes, I will play well." If you really don’t get a chance at Sporting Amsterdam, then seek a transfer or a loan. Anyway, it must be based on playing games.”
Li Qingqing nodded: "That's it, like running water."
Hu Lai also nodded: "Yes! Just like water. If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the people are mean, they will be invincible! Little stars must be meaner!"
Chen Xingyi retorted: "No wonder Hu Lai, you are so awesome now!"
Li Qingqing covered her mouth and smiled as she watched the two people bicker.
She had just seen the same scene last weekend.
This is friendship between men, right?
She was happy for Hu Lai. Now he was no longer ostracized like he was in high school, but he had so many good friends!
※※※
After Chen Xingyi finished eating, he took the latest flight back overnight. There was a league match on the weekend, so he had to rush back early so as not to delay tomorrow's training. After losing the game, it was naturally impossible for all participating players to do so. To enjoy the half-day holiday after the game, they had to practice twice a day as usual.
Therefore, it was indeed not easy for Chen Xingyi to stay and have a meal with Hu Lai and Li Qingqing after the game.
But the meal was not in vain.
Sitting on the plane, overlooking the thousands of lights below.
Chen Xingyi thought of what Li Qingqing said to him.
Like water.
The summary is pretty good...
Although Chen Xingyi did this, he did not make such a conclusion for himself.
He lives like water, but never realizes that he is actually water.
After saying goodbye to Li Qingqing and Hu Lai, he went online to search for the article through keywords.
This article really exists, not just random nonsense by Li Qingqing.
The title of the article is "Running forward like water, never stopping for a moment - a brief discussion of Chen Xingyi's characteristics".
The author's signature is "Lin Hai Ting Tao".
The article was nearly 10,000 words long, but it analyzed him very thoroughly.
All the author's basis is based on public news reports and information, and he does not know the author.
After reading it, Chen Xingyi felt the urge to make this "Lin Hai Ting Tao" his confidant.
I understand him so well!
The meal with Hu Lai and Li Qingqing, as well as this article, gave Chen Xingyi courage and confidence.
No matter what the future holds, no matter whether Munster, the coach who admires him, will be fired, as long as he does his job well, he won't have to worry about not having a chance.
The world of football is complex, but also very simple. As long as you have strength and can show it, the world is so big that you can go anywhere.
After being eliminated from the Champions League, Sporting Amsterdam is left with only domestic competitions. Whether it is the league or the cup, it is the stage for Chen Xingyi to show his abilities.
He must seize every opportunity to reveal himself to the world.
I, Chen Xingyi, can't beat Hu Lai, so can I not beat you opponents in the Eredivisie? !
After all, I was treated like Mery Banega by the Madrid Pirates!
The plane roared and flew north, flying to the Netherlands, which was not too far away.
Chen Xingyi on the plane can't wait to return to the team and start tomorrow's training and weekend games. (End of chapter)
