Chapter Seventy-Seven: Thunderstorm
The Korean TV commentator pinned his hopes on Park Gye-hyun, a young South Korean leader, but until the end of the first half, Park Gye-hyun did not equalize for his team.
He was entangled by Wang Guangwei and it was difficult to get a chance in the penalty area.
At the end of the first half, he finally got rid of Wang Guangwei's defense with a teammate's block and got the opportunity to shoot with his feet. But his hurried shot was too positive, and was caught firmly by the goalkeeper Yu Zhiming of the shining star and pressed to the ground.
Then the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
With a one-goal lead, the Twinkle players entered the dressing room.
In the locker room, Zhao Kangming's face did not have the joy of leading, but still said seriously: "It's not safe to only lead by one goal, so although you did a good job in the first half, you still have to improve the efficiency of the attack in the second half!" Don't let up until the full-time end whistle is blown! It's a great opportunity for us, but if we can't win it, it's all for nothing! β

At the start of the second half, Seoul LG, who were one goal behind, launched a fierce attack into the Shinings' penalty area, trying to equalize as soon as possible and lay the foundation for their comeback.
In response to the fierce offensive against Seoul LG, Shinstar did not panic, but played a defensive counterattack.
Because at halftime, head coach Cho Kangming had already judged this situation in advance and reassured them - judging from the performance of Seoul LG in the first half, what happened to them on the day they arrived in Jincheng still profoundly affected their physical recovery and mental state.
So Seoul LG will definitely attack at the beginning of the second half, and they don't have a choice when their fitness is not very good. As time goes on, the balance of victory and defeat will gradually tilt in favor of the home team's shining stars. If Seoul LG and them go around slowly, I'm afraid that in the end, it will really be a boiled frog in warm water.
It's better to take advantage of the halftime break to recover a wave of physical energy, and then start the game with all its strength and attack. If the flashing star who can play is caught off guard and panics, so that there is a mistake, which really makes Seoul LG equalize, then they can be regarded as winning the bet.
In response to this possible situation, the solution given by Zhao Kangming is to defend and counterattack.
The shining stars are the leading side, and there is no reason to press out and attack Seoul LG.

"That's right! That's it! Come on LG! The Korean TV commentator shouted excitedly from the back studio as the broadcast showed Seoul LG besieging the Shining Planet Gate, where they shot twice in a row during the three-minute game.
The first kick was saved by Yu Zhiming, and Park Guixian, who was ambushed in the penalty area, tried to make up for the shot, but was destroyed by Wang Guangwei in advance.
The ball that was destroyed out of the box fell to the players of LG Seoul, who set up a second attack and sent a cross from the wing.
Then another striker from Seoul LG, Uruguayan foreign player Ignacio Morales, headed the goal.
Slightly above the beam.
Despite failing to create a goal and not creating a corner.
The commentator of Korean TV also praised Seoul LG's attack: "After the start of the second half, the whole LG team seemed to come to life, and it was like two teams in the first half!" Their onslaught caused huge problems for the Shining Star, and now the whole team could only shrink into their own half...... I believe that if we continue to play like this, the goals will come sooner or later! β

When Yu Zhiming placed the football on the line of the small penalty area, got up and retreated to prepare for the goal kick, he found that the overall front of Seoul LG seemed to be a little forward.
He was right, but the players of Seoul LG did not fade as quickly as the tide, but hesitated in the midfield, as if they were unwilling to retreat to the half of the field and let the flashing stars attack. Instead, they want to block the opponent's attack directly in the midfield, and directly counterattack after breaking the ball.
That makes sure there are enough people in the midfield.
I don't know if the players at LG Seoul are really confident in their offensive during this time, or if they realize that they don't have much energy left, and they will wilt if they don't fight again.
In short, they played high pressing......
Yu Zhiming, who didn't understand this problem, still chose a big foot to drive the football to the midfield, Zhang Qinghuan lost in the process of fighting with the opponent's back player, and the football was pushed back.
Park Gye-hyun tried to control the second landing point, but Wang Guangwei coldly struck out next to him, jumped up before him and topped the ball again.
This time, it was the experienced Qin Lin who controlled the landing point.
However, as soon as he stopped the ball, a player from Seoul LG stretched out his leg and swept it from the side.
Qin Lin passed the football directly back to Junhei Morikawa, a defender who was further back.
At the same time, he pointed to the left side of the pitch and motioned for him to pass the football directly to the left-back Liu Binwei over there.
Junhei Morikawa did not make his own decisions, but obediently passed the football sideways.
When he was in Japan, he had heard of Qin Lin's name. This is one of the few players in Chinese football who can spread his influence to Japan. After all, when the big man Qin Lin played the AFC Champions League on behalf of the South China Tigers, he played against Japanese teams a lot, and he was one of the few Chinese players who could lead the club to defeat the Japanese team. Not to mention that Qin Lin also pinched the neck of the Japanese international in the national team competition......
It can be said that he is a figure that the Japanese respect and hate.
At the same time that Liu Binwei received the football, Chen Xingyi retreated to pick him up. Liu Binwei didn't pass the ball at the first time, because Chen Xingyi was still followed by Seoul LG's right-back Park Eun-kyung.
He dribbled forward by himself and tried to form a two-on-one situation with Chen Xingyi in the local area.
In response, Seoul LG strengthened the defense on this side, and the back of the back who had been fighting with Zhang Qinghuan for the header immediately pounced.
Liu Binwei passed the football to Chen Xingyi at this time, and he accelerated forward, hoping to take away a defensive player and create an opportunity for Chen Xingyi's breakthrough. Or if the players of Seoul LG do not keep up, then Chen Xingyi will pass the football to the front of the air, and after accelerating to catch up with the football, he can form a breakthrough or cross.
As soon as he ran like this, Park Eun-kyung retreated with him, leaving another LG player to defend Chen Xingyi.
Chen Xingyi pressed up with the ball, and after sticking the back of the Seoul LG to his side, he suddenly passed horizontally!
He passed the football to Zhang Qinghuan, who leaned over.
Zhang Qinghuan did not stop the ball, but directly picked up his left foot against the football, rubbed the football out of an over-the-top ball, and went straight to the space behind the Seoul LG defender line!
Because before he received the ball, he saw Hu Lai suddenly start and run sideways from the back point to the forward point on the back line of Seoul LG Legin, and he knew that Hu Lai was reminding himself to go straight.
However, the most worrying route of Zhisai is a central defender of Seoul LG, and if he passes the ball to the ground, he is afraid that it will pass directly to the opponent's feet.
That's why he opted for a more difficult overhead pass.
Zhang Qinghuan...... Strike! β
At the moment when he kicked the ball, Hu Lai, who was originally running horizontally, suddenly turned around and ran sideways, smashed out of the guard line of Seoul LG, and went straight to the landing point of the football!
When Seoul LG's No. 4 central defender turned to see Hulai appear behind them, he reflexively raised his hand to signal Hulai for offside.
However, the other centre-back at the back post saw Hulai's movement clearly and knew that he was not offside, so he desperately rushed over, hoping to stop Hulai.
At the same time, Seoul LG goalkeeper Choi Song-mao abandoned the goal, trying to take advantage of Hulai's stoppage to adjust the ball, shorten the distance between him and Hulai, and block his shooting angle.
Unexpectedly, he had just rushed out when he saw Hu Lai raise his left leg high and hook the football that was still in the air directly!
That's embarrassing......
He didn't seem to have time to go up and block the angle again.
Cui Songmao hesitated, he was afraid that if he continued to pounce, he would be shot by Hu Lai.
"Good stop! No offside! β
In the loud cheers, Hulai's left foot landed on the ground first, then supported his body, raised his right foot, and gently pushed the football that had not yet landed!
The ball went straight to the back corner, and although Choi Song-mao also made a save - he fell directly to the ground and stretched out his foot, trying to block the shot with his foot, but it was too late when Hulai stopped the ball and shot so quickly......
The ball bounced in front of his toes and went straight to the bottom corner of the goal!
"Hulaiββ!!! Pretty!! The ball is in!! The Twinkles have a two-goal lead over Seoul LG at home! The Twinkle started with a goal kick and played a beautiful team combination, and after a series of passes, it was Hulai who hammered the word! When Seoul LG attacked fiercely, the flash star poured cold water on their heads with this goal! Hit the arrogance of Seoul LG hard! β
In the cheers of the mountain and tsunami, Hulaisa, who had scored the goal, ran to the corner flag area, ran and sprinted, jumped into the air, turned and bent his elbows, swung his arms down, and spread his legs and firmly planted on the turf.
Along with him landed, there was the sound of rushing into the sky and turning back, and it also brought ...... Rainwater.
At first, it was just a few drops of rain that hit people.
Yan Yan touched the back of his neck and looked up at the sky.
Park Gye-hyun also looked up at the cloudy sky on the field, and a drop of rain fell into his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, a downpour fell from the sky.
There was a faint thunder in the distance.
The thunderstorm mentioned in the weather forecast has finally fallen.
