Chapter 69: Sense of ritual

In fact, Anton Xingxing's 2:1 away game against Lingnanhai in the away game had a consequence, but everyone was attracted by Zhang Qinghuan’s wonderful performance and Hu Lai’s score twice, which was obviously more Favored by the media, the media reports after the game focused on these two things.
But in fact, the other result may have a deeper impact on the team.
That's because they defeated Nanhai in the away game and Yunshan Caiyun tied at home. The difference between the two sides reached six points.
Regardless of the number of goals scored, the number of goal differences or the relationship between the two sides, the flashing star is fully ahead of Yunshan Caiyun.
Especially when the points are the same, the goal difference is prioritized. Flashing Star now has four goal difference, while Yunshan Caiyun's goal difference is eighteen.
If Yunshan Caiyun wants to succeed in relegation, she must not only equalize Flashing Star in points, but also surpass Flashing Star in goal difference. This is completely impossible.
So with two rounds left in the league, this point difference means that Flash Star is basically relegated early.
Before the home game against Yunshan Caiyun, the Flashstar players after a tense season were very relaxed during training.
This time, even the head coach Zhao Kangming and assistant coach Chen Mo did not express any disagreement. They were successfully relegated. Even if the goal of this season is achieved, there is really no reason to continue to force the players to work hard.
After all, everyone has been tired for a season, and it's normal to relax a little at the end. After all, players are humans, not machines that are tireless as long as they have energy and set up programs.
In addition, the Chinese Premier League does not have the rules of the Chinese Super League that directly correlate the benefits of broadcast rights and league rankings, so as long as it is not promoted or relegated in the Chinese Premier League, it does not matter which ranking is in fact.
In the penultimate round of the league, Shan Xing played against Yunshan Caiyun at home. This was also the last home game of Shan Xing this season. Many fans came to the Provincial Sports Center.
They are here to say goodbye to this season's Chinese League, but also to express their vision for the new season.
In fact, the team's performance in the first half of the season really disappointed these fans, so the attendance rate of the Stars' home court dropped sharply.
With the introduction of Qin Lin and Hu Lai in the summer transfer window, the team's performance has improved, and the fans have returned to the stands of the Provincial Sports Center.
Qin Lin's injury caused the team's performance to fluctuate.
But in the last game, Zhang Qinghuan's successful comeback gave everyone the motivation to come and watch the game.
Although everyone scolded Zhang Qinghuan for his professional attitude, scolded him for picking up girls, and scolded him for drunk driving, no one denied his talent.
A large part of the reason why everyone hates him is that he willfully waste his talent.
In the last game, Zhang Qinghuan proved with actual performance that he was a real prodigal who turned back, especially when he assisted Hu Lai for the second goal, and Hu Lai’s final strike was wonderful.
But in fact, the most beautiful part of this ball is the section where Zhang Qinghuan ran the ball before.
With such performance, everyone naturally has higher expectations for Zhang Qinghuan.
So in this round of home games, many fans actually came for Zhang Qinghuan.
Zhao Kangming also put Zhang Qinghuan in the starting lineup.
However, he did not let Hu Lai start, but let Ni Ziang and Nie Jin start the game.
Since Ni Ziang returned from injury, he has not gotten a chance to play. Nie Jin, as a young player promoted by the team's youth team, has not many chances to play this season.
Now that the team is relegated in advance, there is no clear goal anymore, and of course there is no need to let the main lineup dominate the opportunity to play.
Allowing more substitute players to get the opportunity to play is conducive to soothing people and maintaining the atmosphere of the team's locker room.
For young players like Nie Jin, he needs more playing opportunities to train himself, and playing against weak opponents also helps young players increase their confidence.
And veterans like Ni Ziang need to increase the number of appearances, so as to obtain a contract with better terms when negotiating with the club.
※※※
Zhang Qinghuan sent out an assist again in the game, in addition to a shot that nearly scored. It continued the excellent performance of the previous game, and did not disappoint the Flashstar fans who watched him play.
When he was replaced in the 70th minute, he also received applause and cheers from the fans in the stands.
For him, it can be said that it has been a long time since the last game was replaced, because it was an away game, both the applause and cheers were not as great as they are now.
It is a good thing that his performance can be recognized by the fans.
But he was not very happy when he sat back on the bench, and even frowned and stared at the pitch in thought.
"Does frowning like this make me look more handsome?" Hu Lai, who has not yet played, asked beside him.
Looking at Hu Lai who imitated his frown and staring at the stadium, Zhang Qinghuan smiled: "You will make people misunderstand that you are dissatisfied with Director Zhao for not letting you play."
"Then you look happy? Why, still be dissatisfied with yourself?"
Zhang Qinghuan turned his head and glanced at Hu Lai, then shook his head: "No, no, it's just a little bit unfinished."
"Understanding." Hu Lai nodded.
Zhang Qinghuan turned his gaze to the court again, but did not make a frowning expression this time. He was also afraid of being blindly associated with his expression by the media.
But he didn't tell the truth to Hu Lai either.
He frowned not because he was still unfulfilled, nor because he was dissatisfied with his performance.
In fact, he thinks that although his performance in this game is not bad, he is not playing smoothly on the court. Even on his own home court, his playing was not as comfortable as playing on his own away court in the previous round.
The reason is that although the last game was away and played very hard, there was Hu Lai on the front line. He can understand his own thoughts well. For example, there is a gap that will only appear after two seconds. Maybe Only he and Hu Lai can see it.
So he will pass the football there, and Hu Lai will run there.
This is very comfortable and makes him feel very fulfilled-it feels good that every pass will not be wasted.
In today's game, he saw an empty pass and passed, his teammates did not run, or run late.
It still seems like he has spread it...
This is why he is not playing very well.
Hu Lai is not on the pitch, so no one can understand him in football.
But he didn't tell Hu Lai, not because he was afraid that this kid would be overwhelmed, but because he was worried that he would have negative opinions about Hu Lai after being heard by other teammates-Oh, as long as Hu Lai can cooperate with Zhang Qinghuan, none of us are worthy. right?
He doesn't care about what others think of him, nor is he afraid to cause trouble to himself, but he can't cause trouble to others.
Hu Lai has a very good relationship with his teammates, and it is not guilty to make other players feel bad about Hu Lai because of this.
However, I should stay in Shining Star next season, so I can cooperate with Hu Lai on the court.
He felt satisfied when he thought of this.
He leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Zhang Qinghuan is sitting on the bench, enjoying the look... It seems that he is very satisfied with his performance in this game, otherwise why is there such a happy smile on his face?" Anton TV sports channel commentator teased .
Because of the lead, the narrator also seemed very relaxed.
In her rental room, Sun Juan looked at the face on the TV screen that looked so beautifully smiling and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
Although the head nurse persuaded herself to keep herself away from Zhang Qinghuan and let her fantasies less.
But she just couldn't help but want to pay attention to that man.
I wonder if he will get better later, and wonder if he can return to the way he was before...
She doesn't know much about football, but whether it is a commentator, media reporter, or online fans, everyone is saying that the Zhang Qinghuan they expected is back again.
She thought, the manager should be the one who really talks.
I haven't heard of him appearing in nightclubs or bars recently, nor have he heard of an unclear relationship with a woman.
He became the one who made fans and commentators crazy, not the one who made women and paparazzi crazy.
that's nice.
Sun Juan held the pillow in her arms and happily shook her body gently on the bed.

Hu Lai was only replaced in the last five minutes of the game.
At this time, Flash Star has led the opponent 3:0, and it is obviously not for him to score a goal at this time.
But let him enjoy the cheers of the home fans.
This is the last home of the Stars in the 2022 season. As the best player in the Stars team in the second half of the season, Hu Lai deserves such treatment.
So Zhao Kangming put him on the court and let him enjoy this Moment exclusively.
Sure enough, when Hu Lai was replaced, his name was shouted passionately on the live broadcast of the Provincial Sports Center, and the fans on the scene cheered loudly and stood up to applaud him.
Normally this situation only occurs when players are replaced, but when Hu Lai is on the field, there is such a momentum on the scene.
The narrator couldn't help but sighed: "If I have to choose one of the biggest gains of this season, it will certainly not be Zhang Qinghuan, the prodigal son, or the growing boss Qin Lin, or the increasingly mature young central defender Wang Guangwei... It’s the young man in front of him, a 19-year-old forward. He only transferred halfway through the season, but he became the team’s current top scorer with eleven goals. And he is against the team The contribution is far from these eleven goals, but with his arrival, it seems to have changed many things in Shining Star, like a new wind blowing from the window..."
Xie Lan pointed to the TV screen and turned to ask her husband: "Is he talking about my son?"
Hu Lixin nodded helplessly: "Yes, it's Hu Lai..."
"Hehe!" Xie Lan smiled triumphantly.
Colleague Wang Jie also mobilized them to vote for her son online in the office. It was an awards activity organized by some training organization. My son does not need to rely on these pheasant awards to gild himself. The praise of the TV station commentator and the cheers of the fans on site are the best glory!
"...This is his first professional season. It's not complete. It's only half of the year... but he has already shown such a performance. Unfortunately, there is no selection of the best newcomer in the Chinese League. Otherwise, I must vote for him. . I look forward to this young man’s next season because it will be his first full professional season. Come on, Hu Lai!"
Peng Hao sat with his grandfather in front of the TV and watched the game.
This was the first time he watched a football match with his grandfather, and it was also the first time he had confirmed that grandpa had known the identity of cousin Hu Lai...and it was just a guess before.
Now the cousin was finally put on the scene, and finally he didn't wait in front of the TV for nothing, otherwise he would be embarrassed...
"I knew he would definitely play." Grandpa said hoarsely. "This is the last home game. We will give him a curtain call."
Peng Hao looked at his grandfather with some surprise: "Why do you know everything, grandpa?"
"Hey, I have eaten more salt than you have eaten. Isn't it normal for me to know everything?"
"Well, grandpa, you are great..."
Then the two of them stopped talking, but watched the TV intently and appreciated Hu Lai's performance.
At the bedroom door behind them, grandma smiled and raised her phone to take this scene.
※※※
Hu Lai, who was only put on the field at the last moment, did not score, and his task was not to score.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, he and all the players lined up around the stadium to applaud the home team fans in the stands.
Also bid farewell to his first professional season at home.
At this time, he is like those who follow him, already looking forward to the new season.
He looked at the enthusiastic fans and wondered what he could do in this stadium next season. Will he score more goals?
What will you gain?
What will you meet?
Come on, Hu Lai, your future is not a dream!
While Hu Lai was cheering himself up in his heart, Wang Guangwei hugged him from the side and happily said to him: "Congratulations, Hu Lai. You can have such a performance in the first season of your career. The qualitative wall of jealousy separates!"
"Chen Xingyi?"
Wang Guangwei was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect this name at all, and this "jealous qualitative separation" person was nothing more than his imaginary finger.
But when he reacted, he laughed.
That's right, I'm talking about you, Chen Xingyi!
Let your kid black me!
※※※
Chen Xingyi suddenly sneezed, making the teammates next to him very nervous: "Don't catch a cold!"
Chen Xingyi rubbed his nose and shook his head: "No, it's just a sudden itchy nose..."
Then he looked at the ongoing game.
He was again selected for the competition squad, but again failed to play the game-the coach Wang Gui has used up all three substitutions.
He sighed in his heart, did he come to Golden Arrow to watch the game on the bench?
Watching the game in this position is not as good as the VIP box, and there is no risk of being scolded by the head coach when watching the game and playing on the mobile phone in the VIP box...
He has made up his mind to let his father go to talk to the club after the end of this season, and let him go on loan next season~EbookFREE.me~ Find a team that can play the game and exercise, even if it is a Chinese team Anyway.
At his own age, it was the time when the ball was long, but he had to sit on the bench for ninety minutes, and he felt that this was simply violent...
Look at Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei, the two of them are now in the middle of the dazzling star.
I was also faint at the beginning, but I thought it would be better to go to the Super Club...
Just like that idiot Luo Kai...
Luo Kai entered the professional football world earlier than himself, but like himself, although he has occasionally played in the Super League team, he has no outstanding performance and still has not waited for his first professional league goal.
Chen Xingyi feels better when he thinks of Luo Kai.
Hey, happiness really comes out of comparison.
Chen Xingyi slumped on the bench chair and began to fantasize about next season.
