Chapter 185: Benefits of the FA Cup

　　 After playing the FA Cup semi-final, the final will not kick off until November 4, two months later. All of this is the league.
　　 Flashing Stars can turn all their attention back to the league and use nine league games in these two months to establish their superiority.
　　Because the next round of the league was in the Football Association’s semi-final two days later, the whole team flew back to Jincheng on the night of the game.
　　 Following Saturday's league match, Zhao Kangming replaced all the players who played in the FA Cup semi-finals, allowing those who did not play on the bench and the rotation players who did not go to the away game at all.
　　 Against Youjiang Guren, who is not strong.
　　 Shining Star, who has rotated a large number of players, failed to beat Youjiang Honglian at home, but he did not lose either.
　　 They drew 0:0 at home.
　　 Considering that Flash Star tried his best in the FA Cup semi-finals, many players cramped, even if they win Poseidon, it can be said to be a "tragic victory". So if you haven't lost in the league, this result is completely acceptable.
　　 Next is a crucial battle for Shining Star:
　　 In the 23rd round of the league, they will challenge Ning Tian Yongan away. And the latter is currently ranked third in the league, one point less than the flash star in one game.
　　 If Flash Star loses to Ning Tian Yongan in the away game, the opponent will temporarily surpass Flash Star with a two-point advantage in points.
　　Although Flashing Star will make up for the league that they played less before, if they can win, they can continue to rank second with a one-point advantage, squeezing Ning Tian Yongan.
　　 Can the gap between the two sides be completely reduced to one point?
　　 Everyone thought that this game would be a very fierce competition.
　　 But when the game started, they realized that it was not the case at all.
　　 In this game, all the main flashing stars were sent out, although they were away, they were very active.
　　 After ten minutes, they had the upper hand.
　　 In the twenty-third minute of the game, Zhang Qinghuan broke the deadlock by grabbing a goal in the penalty area.
　　 Five minutes later, Hu Lai made a supplementary shot to extend the score.
　　 At the end of the first half of the game, the guest flashing star led the home team Ning Tian Yongan with a score of 2:0, the team that was relegated from the Chinese Super League.
　　Ningtian TV’s commentator exclaimed: "This flashing star and the flashing star of the first half of the season are simply two teams!"
　　 He was a little fussed.
　　 After all, this flashing star is the home court of the sixth Poseidon in the Chinese Super League and can eliminate the opponent 2:1.
　　 That is the real Chinese Super League team, and Ning Tian Yongan is only a relegated team from the Chinese Super League...
　　 When Zhao Kangming decided not to abandon the FA Cup so quickly, he just hoped to use the Super League team to test the quality of this flash star.
　　 He who made the decision at that time never thought that it would help the team play in the league.
　　Because the Flashstar players who have seen the world in the Football Association Cup suddenly felt that the "strong teams" in the Chinese League are just bluffs...
　　 Ning Tian Yongan ranked 15th in the Super League last season, second from the bottom. The Poseidon who had previously defeated by Flash Star ranked sixth in the rankings.
　　 From this perspective, what's so scary about Ning Tian Yongan?
　　 In the first half of the season, Flash Star was forced to a 0:0 draw by this team at home. Now I think their performance is really not good...
　　 The flashing star who reached the FA Cup final has gained the confidence that other Chinese A teams can hardly have, which will have huge benefits for their next league.
　　 And this kind of benefit is unexpected by those who accused the Flash Stars of not doing their best to play in the FA Cup and should abandon the FA Cup.
　　 In the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again, and Qin Lin and Chen Xingyi scored again in Flash Star.
　　 In the end they defeated Ning Tian Yongan 4:0 away.
To be honest, Shining Star defeated the league leader Ning Tian Yongan 4:0 away. The shock to other teams in the Chinese League was no less than Shining Star defeating the league leader Nanhai 4:2 at home. The team is no less than Flash Star in the FA Cup semi-finals 2:1 away elimination of the Super League team Poseidon.
　　 After all, in the game against Nanhai, Flashing Star still lost two goals. Judging from the game process, Flashing Star won it not easy. It was the best effort to win this game.
Not to mention 　　 playing Poseidon, they use very creative set-kick tactics, which is a bit tricky. After that game, Flashstar's set-kick tactics became a hot topic. Many analysts believe that an unusual set-kick tactic is the key to Shining Star's ability to score two goals against Poseidon.
　　 These analyses are pretty good. In fact, if it weren't for the set-kick tactics contributed by Hu Lai, the only winning strategy Zhao Kangming could think of was to drag the game into a penalty kick, and then leave everything to luck.
　　 In these two games, Flash Star won both, but it was not easy to win. Winning was tricky.
　　 But in the game against Ning Tian Yongan, the away game Flashing Star played like a home court, scoring two goals in the second half and defeating the opponent without blood.
　　Ning Tian Yongan’s players have not reacted after the game. Some players said in an interview after the game that they felt like they played in the Super League last season...
What does 　　 mean?
　　 means that Shining Star’s performance is already at the super level.
　　 This may be the result of the Twin Stars' elimination of the Super League team in the FA Cup for two consecutive rounds.
　　 And if the Flash Stars are already at the Chinese Super League level, does that mean they will definitely be successfully upgraded this season?
　　In this way, there is probably only one promotion place that other teams that want to be promoted can compete for...
　　※※※
　　 Don't look at Shanxing who won the game and still ranked second, but the first Nanhai team has already felt the tremendous pressure.
　　Because in the next week, when other teams have a break, Flash Star will play at home against Xinzhou Kunlun. This match is the 18th round of the league.
　　 After playing this game, Flash Star will play the same games as other teams.
So far, the Nanhai team has accumulated 52 points and ranked first-they lost to Ning Tian Yongan in the previous round and missed the best chance to get rid of the stars in the standings. Because of that round of league rotation, Flash Star was tied at home by Youjiang Honglian.
　　 The result is that now they are only two points ahead of the flashing stars.
　　 If Shining Star defeats Xinzhou Kunlun in the midweek make-up match, Shining Star will surpass the Nanhai team by one point and take the top spot in the league standings.
　　 And judging from the state of Flash Star in the match against Ning Tian Yongan, the probability of them beating Xinzhou Kunlun at home is very high.
　　 This is indeed the case. On Wednesday, September 20th, Shining Star returned to the home court with a semi-main and semi-rotated lineup, and still 2:0 lightly took over Xinzhou Kunlun, who was on an expedition.
After playing this game, they ranked first in the league with 53 points. This was the first time they returned to the league after losing to Heihe Polaris on August 27th. This location.
　　 Although they only lead the Nanhai team by one point.
　　 But many people should have noticed that the current state of Flash Star is difficult to interrupt.
　　 Sure enough, the following Sunday, they played against the 11th-ranked eagles at home. The Stars won 3:1 and Hu Lai scored twice in the game.
　　While helping Flash Star continue to lead the league table, he also scored 18 goals in the scorer list, also leading the scorer list.
　　 Ival Moses, who ranked second, scored 13 goals.
　　 Hu Lai's lead is still huge.
　　 Following this momentum, many people think that Hu Lai’s chances of holding golden boots are getting bigger and bigger.
　　 In fact, even if he can't get the league's top scorer, his performance this season can definitely be called phenomenal, and it is rare in the history of the Chinese League.
After all, although there were local shooters before him who had won the league's top scorer in the 2012 season, Lin Gang was already 26 when he took the top scorer, and Hu Lai had just passed. On his twentieth birthday, at such a young age, he can score so many goals in the league. Looking at the entire history of Chinese football, there are not many.
　　 Not to mention that there are still ten full league rounds before the end of the league, and Hu Lai has scored 18 goals.
It is only three goals away from Lin Gang’s record of 21 goals scored by a local shooter in China’s Premier League in a single season created ten years ago, and the 22 goals created by Brazilian forward Olivier Feller last season in Hexi Daqin The single-season scoring record of the Chinese A is only four goals short.
　　 Judging from his current state, he is very hopeful to break these two records, and maybe it is possible to greatly improve both records, making it difficult for latecomers to surpass.
　　 For a while, many people on the Internet began to pay attention to the scorer list of the Chinese League, and they were concerned about Hu Lai's performance.
　　 Under the attention of so many people, Hu Lai did not feel the huge pressure because of this, so he played abnormally.
　　 On the contrary, in the twenty-fifth round of the league three days later, in the game where Flash Star challenged the relegation team Yunshan Caiyun away, he scored another goal in the game.
　　 helped Shining Star retreat from the home court of the relegation team 2:0.
　　 In the same round of the league, the Nanhai team lost the ball and the points stayed at 55 points. With this victory, Flashing scored 59 points, leaving the Nanhai team four points away, widening the points gap.
　　 At the same time, Ning Tian Yongan scored two consecutive victories after losing to Flash Star ~EbookFREE.me~ with 52 points, and has already approached the Nanhai team.
Considering that the South China Sea team had to play Flash Star at home in the penultimate round of the league, this situation cannot but be reminiscent of their last season-there is a glimmer of hope for the South China Sea team to lose to Flash Star at their home court. The upgrade opportunity was completely lost.
　　 Is it going to repeat the same mistakes this year?
　　 Fortunately, in the next 26th round of the league, Luo Kai broke out. He scored twice to help the Nanhai team defeat Tangdu Jiulong and stop the decline.
　　 He has scored nine goals in the league and he is already the team's second scorer in the South China Sea.
　　 This is already his best season in professional football.
　　 If any twenty-year-old young player has such a performance, he would really wake up in his dreams.
　　 You must know that Chen Xingyi, who was loaned from Golden Arrow to Shining Star, also scored nine league goals, just like him.
　　 But Luo Kai couldn't laugh at all.
　　Who let a monster in front of him...
　　 Although Hu Lai did not score a goal in this round of the league, he still led the league scorer list with 19 league goals, ten more than Luo Kai, who played the best season of his career!
　　 The number of goals scored in the best season of his career is only a fraction of the number of goals scored by others. What is so proud of?
　　 Still happy?
　　 It is a joke to say it!
　　 The only good news may be that after this round of the league, Luo Kai received a call from the Olympic team to participate in the three friendly matches of the Olympic team on October 7th, 12th and 15th.
　　 This will be his first time playing for the country, wearing the Olympic team jersey.
