"Although Dongtai Juxing City is an amateur team, they have the hardware facilities that are not inferior to professional teams...... Ladies and gentlemen, please follow my hand and look at this stretching green field, which is the training ground of Dongtai Juxing City...... And be careful, keep your eyes open! These training grounds, without exception, are all days! Correct! Grass! Skin! ”

A beautiful host stood in front of the camera, holding a microphone, with a surprised tone and an exaggerated expression.

"It's really luxurious! Even if it is a Chinese Super League club, not every team can achieve that every football field in the training base is natural turf! Next, we were fortunate to invite the head coach of Dongtai Juxing City, Fu Gui, and asked him to ask us to introduce what kind of team Dongtai Juxing City is...... Fu is good, it is said that when Dongtai Juxing City drew the Anton Shining Star, a Chinese A team, the whole team still had some regrets...... Is there such a thing? ”

In the picture, a slightly fat middle-aged man appeared, most of his hair was gray, his skin was dark, like an old farmer, this is Fu Bengui, the head coach of Dongtai Juxing City.

Fu Bengui, who was standing in front of the camera, was not stage frightened at all, and said with a local accent: "It's drip, it's drip, it's really drip." On the night of the draw, our whole team watched the live webcast in the training base, and when we found out that we had drawn a Chinese team, everyone was very disappointed. At that time, there were sighs in the conference room...... The players have said that they have not been able to draw the Chinese Super League team as an opponent, which is a pity! ”

"That's weird, Coach Fu. Generally speaking, shouldn't an amateur team like Gathering Star City want the weaker the opponent to be as good as possible? Isn't it a good thing that we didn't get a Super League team? What is there to regret? The beautiful reporter flashed her eyes wide-eyed, and she threw out the question very sensibly.

"It's a drop, and it's supposed to be like this in general. But we are not an ordinary amateur team, we have very ambitious goals. Whether it is in terms of hardware facilities or team strength, Dongtai Juxing City has the opportunity to challenge strong opponents. In the last round, we beat the Chinese League A team Nanhai at home, which is proof of that! "Fu Bengui said impassionedly to the camera." Therefore, the whole team thinks that it should be best to meet the Chinese Super League team in this round. Now, it's a team in the middle league, and I can't help but say it's a pity......"

The picture is paused here, and comes to an abrupt end.

The Anton Shinstar players in the hotel conference room looked a little unkind.

"Damn, this old man is too crazy, isn't he?"

"Uncle, let's see what team they are? Amateur team! Where do you get the qualifications? Think our shining star is in the middle armor? Is it worthy too? ”

"If you don't eliminate a proud and underestimated South China Sea team, you won't take other teams in the middle of the league in your eyes, right?"

Everyone shouted at Fu Bengui who was frozen on the screen.

At this time, assistant coach Chen Mo patted the table: "Quiet! Be quiet! ”

After three consecutive shots, the sound in the conference room gradually subsided.

Everyone looked at head coach Zhao Kangming.

"Do you think the opposing coach is getting carried away?" Zhao Kangming asked everyone a question first.

The players looked at each other, and they did think so, but if the manager had asked, the answer would have been a simple "yes".

"We don't know much about this team and we can only get footage of their FA Cup last round against Nanhai. I believe that many people will think that after hearing that the Nanhai team was eliminated by an amateur team, they will think that the Nanhai team is proud of itself and underestimated the enemy, which led to the overturning of the boat in the gutter...... That's true, but that's only half true. Zhao Kangming began to show his team the edited and downsized footage of the game between the South China Sea team and the winter Juxing City.

After watching the twelve-minute video, Zhao Kangming asked the players: "Does anyone still think that the Nanhai team is just capsizing in the gutter?" ”

No one thinks that way anymore.

The game footage that has been re-edited by the coaching staff has a very obvious tendency to guide. They focused on the defensive strategy of Dongtai Juxing City against the South China Sea team in the game, so that everyone could see it at a glance.

The players of the South China Sea team are surrounded by a minimum of two and a maximum of four players from Dongtai Juxing City almost all the time. Moreover, the defense of Dongtai Juxing City is very aggressive, ruthless and daring to put down his feet, and there is quite a momentum of "shopping is not afraid of wearing shoes".

At the beginning, it was indeed the South China Sea team itself that was proud of the enemy, but it was not entirely for this reason later.

The South China Sea team tried to pay attention to the game, but found that they were already mired in a quagmire and could not get out of it again. Even the more he struggled, the deeper he sank, and finally he didn't go above his head and lost the right to breathe.

"From the video of the game, we can see that although this team is an amateur team, it is infinitely close to a professional team in terms of training and the way it plays. Their head coach also has experience coaching professional teams. They had a good strategy and execution against the South Seas, and such a team that told me that their manager was getting carried away right now...... To be honest, I don't believe it. ”

"But the coach...... "Someone raised his hand and asked his own question, "so why did they do it?" Is it trying to provoke us? ”

"I think so, they want to provoke us." Zhao Kangming replied.

"This ...... What good is it for them to provoke us? If the strength is weaker than us, shouldn't you take the initiative to show weakness and deceive us into being proud and underestimate the enemy? ”

"With the lessons of the Nanhai team, I believe that the coach of Dongtai Juxing City will definitely think that we will not be proud of the enemy. It is even more unnecessary to take the initiative to show weakness, because they are weaker than us, and if they don't show weakness, will we think they are strong? But on the contrary, if they can provoke us and make us lose our sanity and cool judgment, then when it comes to the game, they have too many holes to exploit. Hypothetical, I mean hypothetical ......" Speaking of this, Zhao Kangming paused.

"Let's say they were carried away by the anger, and when they came on the field, they left behind everything I had explained to them before the game, and they were bent on teaching Dongtai Juxing City that dared to look down on us in the game. Then I found that the opponent's defense line was harder than we expected, and I couldn't gnaw it down for half a day, would my mentality be unbalanced? Will it be at a loss? At this time, if the gap in the back line is seized by the opponent to sneak attack one, will it collapse? ”

Faced with Zhao Kangming's assumptions, everyone fell silent.

"I think the head coach of Dongtai Juxing City should want them to become like this. After all, there is such a thing as pride and underestimating the enemy, and with the example of the South China Sea team, we should not repeat the mistakes of the past. So I want you to be calm and not care about what your opponent says, but what your opponent does. I think in the face of us, Dongtai Juxing City has and only one way, that is, to shrink the defensive line, hoping to resist our attack with tenacious defense, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack when we can't score goals for a long time and are impetuous. So no matter what happens in the game, don't panic or be impatient, and don't mess up like the Nanhai team! It's just an amateur team, as long as we don't make mistakes ourselves, they can't beat us, understand? ”

"Got it!" Everyone replied loudly.

Zhao Kangming saw Hu Lai roaring the loudest, so he named him: "Hu Lai, let's sum it up." ”

Hu Lai stood up in front of everyone, and said confidently: "To put it simply, Director Zhao means that the Nanhai team crosses the river by feeling the stones, and we cross the river by touching the Nanhai team!" ”

Zhao Kangming: ???

There was a brief silence in the conference room, followed by a loud burst of laughter.

Zhao Kangming, who came back to the taste, glared at Hu Lai: "I shouldn't have called the kid to answer the question!" Sit down! ”

Then he looked around at the players who had barely stopped laughing, and wanted to say a few more words to bring the atmosphere back, but he smiled as soon as he opened his mouth: "Hulai is right, simply put, when you encounter problems on the court, think about how the Nanhai team was planted...... Okay, that's it, adjournment! ”

※※※

"Lao Zhao, in fact, I think it's a bit of a fuss. Isn't it the FA Cup? Isn't it just an amateur team? The pre-match meeting was so serious, I thought our opponent was a Chinese Super League team......" Sitting in the coach's seat on the side of the field, assistant coach Chen Mozheng complained.

On the pitch at this time, the fifth round of the FA Cup has begun.

Fifteen minutes passed, and in the face of Dongtai Juxing City, which was stubbornly defended at the beginning of the game, as expected, Anton Shanxing also played very cautiously, and did not rashly press the penalty area around the opponent to bombard indiscriminately.

"It's not a big fuss at all. Actually, I do hope that the East Stars will give us some problems and it will help the players realize that every game is not so easy to play. Zhao Kangming sat in the coach's seat and said, "Look at the defense of Dongtai Juxing City, it's very good, this team is really not simple, that Fu Bengui has two brushes." If we hadn't done our homework before the game, the players would have been caught off guard when they found out that the amateur team could play such a defensive game. Isn't that the case with the South China Sea team? ”

As he spoke, the shining star on the field attacked again.

After a series of big feet, the football came from the right side to the left side, and Chen Xingyi took the ball.

He did not choose to continue to pass sideways this time, but decisively broke through the inward cut and relied on his own personal skills to fight alone!

His move caused a chain reaction in the backline of Dongtai Juxing City, and he was soon surrounded by a number of players from Dongtai Juxing City.

Chen Xingyi, who was deeply encircled, still saw the gap and passed the football out of the encirclement and passed it to Hu Lai, who was inserted in the middle.

Hulai received the ball and shot straight away.

The football flew into the goal under the armpit of the goalkeeper of Dongtai Juxing City!

"Beautiful!" Chen Mo roared when he saw the ball, stood up from the coach's seat with a slap, and then said to Zhao Kangming, who also stood up to celebrate the goal: "Forget, Lao Zhao, we have one of the biggest differences with the Nanhai team...... We have a very efficient shooter! How many chances did the South Seas waste after scoring a goal? Those opportunities are given to Hulai, and you can get one or two at least, right? If the Nanhai team can have a 2:0 and 3:0 lead, are you afraid that Dongtai Juxing City will make waves? ”

Zhao Kangming smiled when he heard this: "That's right, Lao Chen." A goalscorer who can always convert a teammate's pass into a goal is terrifying. But Chen Xingyi's previous breakthrough is also very crucial. ”

"That's right, but this South China Sea team also has it. Isn't Luo Kai's breakthrough and passing good enough? It's all wasted by your teammates! Chen Mo clapped his hands, "The first thing we thought about was him, but he didn't come." If he comes, how can there be anything about Chen Xingyi? ”

Zhao Kangming shook his head and sighed: "This is Luo Kai's life!" ”

※※※

Fu Bengui turned his head to look at the shining star coach's seat, and found that the head coach Zhao Kangming was not very excited about this goal, and his reaction was very flat, and he even shook his head.

He sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, it's harder to beat two teams in a row than to win five million in a lottery......

Look at the performance of others, the lead is so light and light.

He shook his head, seemingly dissatisfied with the fact that it took seventeen minutes to score......

But they're all ahead!

What else?

Even with a one-goal lead, with the huge difference in quality between our two teams, it's almost impossible for us to come back.

With the same one-goal lead, Fu Bengui can hardly expect his team to replicate the same process of the game against the South China Sea team again.

Judging from this performance of their head coach, Anton Shinstar should not be underestimated.

All his tactics in this game are actually based on not conceding goals and the opponent's underestimation of the enemy.

And now, the ball has been lost, and the opponent has not taken the enemy lightly.

The amateur team of Dongtai Juxing City should have come to this end of the FA Cup this season......

Although the results of the top 16 have equaled the best performance of the amateur team in this competition, Fu Bengui is inevitably still a little unwilling......

After defeating the South China Sea team, the dream that he and all the players did about the amateur team going all the way to the finals, slaying the dragon and winning the championship came to an end.

※※※

Fu Bengui's expectations were good, after Zhao Kangming's repeated instructions before the game, Anton Shanxing, who crossed the river by touching the Nanhai team, did not take pride in the enemy after taking the lead, nor did he rush in and waste opportunities.

They played as if they hadn't scored.

In the face of Dongtai Juxing City, which was unable to retreat because of backwardness and attacked frantically, the defense was watertight.

Although Zhao Kangming did not choose the main lineup in the back line in this game, the flash star is a Chinese team after all, and their substitutes are also higher than the amateur team.

Although the home fans of Dongtai Juxing City made a huge noise to cheer for the team, although many neutral fans may be eager to witness another "dragon slaying show" in which the weak defeated the strong.

But the steady-dog star didn't let that happen.

Hulai scored another goal in the second half and was substituted, after all, there was still a league game on Saturday, and the score was already 3-0 at this time - Chen Xingyi also scored a goal before Hulai scored twice.

Before the end of the game, striker Murphy, who came on as a substitute for Hulai, scored another goal to finally set the score at 4:0.

The flashing stars eliminated the biggest dark horse so far in this FA Cup, the amateur team Dongtai Juxing City, and broke into the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.

After the game, the head coaches of the two sides shook hands, and Fu Bengui apologized to Zhao Kangming: "I'm sorry, I just said that before the game to provoke you, I hope you can lose your mind, but I didn't expect it to work at all...... Let's just let it go for a fart, huh! ”

Zhao Kangming smiled and shook his head: "Of course we won't care, after all, it's just a means to pursue victory." As a manager, I've done everything I can and I hope I don't take this defeat too seriously......"

Hearing Zhao Kangming say this, Fu Bengui breathed a sigh of relief, and the old farmer-like coach laughed all over the folds: "Don't be afraid of jokes when you say it, Director Zhao." Before the game, I also made a serious dream of beating them, going all the way to the final, and beating a Chinese Super League team to win the FA Cup......"

"No, it's not a joke." Zhao Kangming's expression was solemn. "The pursuit of victory is the highest goal of competitive sports."

After getting the affirmation of Zhao Kangming, the former main player of the national team, the famous youth coach of the country, and the head coach of the Chinese League A team, Fu Bengui laughed: "Director Zhao said this, I didn't even feel too sad about losing...... Ha! Good luck in the FA Cup! ”

"I wish you all the best to become a professional team soon!"

The two coaches shook hands again and parted. The winners celebrate, the losers lick their wounds, and that's the case with football.

PS, I have uploaded the FM2019 database with all my original character data to the readership group (group number: 751013253), and interested friends can add the group to download. The way to use it is to put the "linhai.f" file in the "My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2019/editor data" folder, if you don't have a "editor data" folder, you can create your own one and put it in. Then open the game and choose to start a new career, it will prompt you to select the database file, find the database "linhai" in the drop-down window of the database, and check it.

It includes all the main original characters from "We Are the Champions" to "Green and Prosperous": Zhang Jun, Yang Pan, Li Yongle, An Ke, Kaka, Xiang Tao, Liu Peng, Wang Yu, Chen Jian, George Wood, Chu Zhongtian, Chen Yingying, Ji Ming, Jose Passarella, Rongguang, Lucas Sutton, Zhou Yi, He Ying, Sun Pan, Yang Muge, Guo Nu, Yan Min, Gao Zheng.

Finally, there is a Hulai.

As for why there are no Chen Xingyi, Luo Kai, and Wang Guangwei...... That's because I didn't have time to do it, I made this database last year, and there was no book at that time, and even a Huley was added by me recently.

These players are scattered across various clubs and basically follow the reality described in the book. There are some exceptions, though.

Finally, I wish you all a great time!

In addition, FM2020 is currently tested to not be able to install this database. It seems that only FM2019 players can play......
