Chapter 213: I Am Your Retribution
Three minutes after Hulay was substituted, the ball was cleared off the touchline by a shining star player, and just then everyone heard a crisp whistle, followed by another.
At this time, the shining star fans in the stands were the first to react, and they erupted into huge cheers, directly drowning out the referee's third whistle!
"It's over!!" The commentator of Anton TV's sports channel, who has not been seated since Hulai was substituted, is now almost stepping on his chair and screaming, as if this is the way to maximize his voice. "We are championsββ!! We are the champions! Anton Shin Star is the champion! It is the champion of the 2023 Chinese Football Association Cup!! How many people could have thought of it before the game? Yes? A few people can think of us! Anton Shin Star! A Chinese team! will become the champion of the Chinese Football Association Cup! Eligible for the AFC Champions League next season! What the Super League teams didn't do, we did it! β
The narrator has gone completely crazy, his brain doesn't even know what he's talking about, but there are a lot of things in his heart that he wants to spit out, and he doesn't care whether what he says will cause any "broadcast accident", he just wants to say.
"Congratulations to the shining star! They became the champions of this season's Chinese Football Association Cup! The honor was hard-won, and they broke through one hurdle after another in the process, but none were as difficult as the finals...... They returned home from two goals down in the first leg, but chased four goals in a row to defeat the mighty Da Soon Golden Arrows with an aggregate score of 4:3...... With such a performance, they deserve to be the FA Cup champions, and they deserve it! He Feng also sent his blessings to the shining star.
He seemed happy because that was exactly what he wanted to see.
Although as a commentator, you should not have your own attitude deviations, and you should not obviously favor one side or the other.
But after watching this game, if you are still unwilling to stand on the side of Shiningxing, and you can't be sincerely happy and admired for Shiningxing's success, then He Feng feels that such a person has no heart.
Yan Kang was also very excited: "This final is the best interpretation of the sport of football - defeat the strong with the weak, never give up, and create miracles!" The shining star has created such a great miracle in front of us! I'm sure many years from now, but when people look back at those shocking reversals, they won't miss this game! From this point of view, the two sides in this game can be regarded as forever in history, right? Ha! β
The commentators were full of witty words, but the game scene had turned into a sea of joy.
The flashing star substitutes who had been waiting on the sidelines for a long time rushed onto the pitch to hug their teammates, like ponies running on the prairie, lively and joyful.
They still have the physical strength to do so, and the first reaction of the shining star players who have been on the pitch all the time when they hear the whistle at the end of the game is to collapse directly to the ground, no matter how happy they are, they don't have the strength to run to celebrate.
The power that had supported them before instantly plummeted.
Many people lay motionless on the turf, their chests rising and falling violently, just looking at the night sky reddened by the lights.
As for the stands, there was even more thunder, cheers and singing resounded throughout the world.
There are also many Shinstar fans who wiped their tears with excitement.
This is a scene they can't think of, originally thought that upgrading to the Super League would be enough to make them happy, but they didn't expect that there were bigger surprises waiting for them......
FA Cup winners!
A true national champion!
A huge sense of happiness seems to be a starlight sprinkled from the sky, descending on every shining star fan, enveloping the entire stadium.
β»β»β»
The podium was quickly erected in the middle of the stadium.
The staff who set up the stage completed the work with great enthusiasm and excitement and with great efficiency, and did not make everyone wait too long.
Before, everyone thought that this award ceremony was for the Golden Arrow, but they didn't expect that now the shining star can win the championship in front of his hometown fathers.
None of the fans in the stands left early, and they continued to sing and dance on them while waiting to witness the historic moment.
This is the first national championship since the establishment of Shining Star, and it is also the first national championship of Anton Football - the previous Heseong era, until the dissolution of the team, did not win a national championship, whether it was a league or a cup competition.
And now, the Twinkles, a young team in terms of both the age of establishment and the average age of the team, have achieved what their predecessors failed to achieve.
This is a goal that Anton fans never dared to think of before......
When Li Tielin took over the FA Cup on behalf of all the players of the shining star and lifted it high, the red and yellow ribbons were sprayed into the air and fell from the sky.
Fans in the stands and in front of the TV who didn't know how many flashes of stars wet their eyes and blurred their vision at this scene.
In their ears are the passionate shouts of Anton TV's sports commentators:
"We are champions! Anton Shining Star is the champion!! β

After winning the cup, the flashing star players were about to go around the field to celebrate, but Hu Lai was stopped by the female reporter of CCTV: "Hu Lai Hu Lai, can you be interviewed first?" β
She looked at Hulai with impatient gaze.
Hu Lai looked at this sweet-looking female reporter, she is also an old acquaintance, from the East Asian Cup to the FA Cup, as long as there is a CCTV live broadcast, she will definitely see her working the sidelines of the game.
He had also been interviewed by her before the game, so although he wanted to go around the field with his teammates for the first time, he was too embarrassed to say no.
So he was obediently pulled away by the other party.
After arriving at the designated interview area, the female reporter put on a white wireless headset and asked the cameraman with her eyes, and when her colleague gave her a thumbs up behind the camera, she showed her trademark sweet smile and said to Hu Lai, who was standing next to her: "First of all, congratulations, Hu Lai, and congratulations to the shining star, who was able to beat the Chinese Super League team as a Chinese team and win the FA Cup." β
Hulay smiled and thanked him: "Thank you, thank you." β
'Your performance in the game was impressive, and you were the first player in history to score a hat-trick in the FA Cup final......
Hulai showed a surprised expression: "Huh? And what about this? β
'Yes, no one has ever scored three goals in an FA Cup final before. The female reporter nodded seriously, "In addition to that, you are also the player with the most goals in a single season in the history of the FA Cup." You've scored eleven goals in the FA Cup this season! β
"Hehe......" Faced with the wide-eyed exclamation of the female reporter, Hu Lai could only smirk in return.
"I remember when you spoke to us before the game, you said you were going to win the FA Cup. So what gives you the confidence to make your goals so clear and determined? The female reporter laid the groundwork for a long time and finally threw out the question.
Actually, this is not a problem in the first place. After all, it's not uncommon to talk big before a game in football.
But after watching the game in its entirety on the sidelines, the question in the female reporter's mind became stronger and stronger - he didn't say big things before the game, he really wanted to win the championship, so what did he rely on? What was he thinking?
This is the primary concern of women journalists.
"Huh? What gives me confidence? β
Hulai thought to himself, "That's a good question!" When I was really sleepy, someone would bring a pillow.
So he restrained the smile on his face and said with a very serious expression: "It's my dad, my dad is the biggest motivation for me to win this game." β
The CCTV female reporter's eyes widened, and she was a little excited - the victory on the football field and the relationship between father and son are linked, this is simply an excellent news topic!
I didn't expect to be asked by myself, I had never heard anyone say anything about the bond between Hulai and his father before......
"Recently, someone on the Internet picked up my dad's identity...... Yes, my dad used to be a player before, and he played for Baishan Tianchi Football Club. But he didn't end up becoming a professional footballer because he suffered a serious injury while in the reserves, and he was kicked in the knee by a teammate in training......"
The female reporter, who was still a little excited, was stunned, and she never thought that the topic would suddenly turn to the shady scenes of Chinese football.
What about the good father's kindness and filial piety, and the warmth and affection?
The style of painting is wrong, hey!
"But what does that have to do with my motivation in this race?" Hu Lai saw that the female reporter was stunned, so he simply asked and answered himself. "Of course, because the culprit who kicked my dad's knee back then was among the opponents of the flashing star in this match......"
Speaking of this, he looked at the camera screen and reported the name word by word: "Wang Xianke, the head coach of Dashun Golden Arrow, is the one who kicked my dad's knee and caused him to retire due to injury!" Director Wang, although you defended yourself at the beginning that it was an accident...... But I and you both know that it wasn't an accident, you did it on purpose! You did that without paying any price, and now you're famous...... But retribution will only be late and will not be absent, and I am your retribution! β
He pointed to the camera lens and said proudly, the gold medal hanging around his neck glittering in the live lights.
And the beautiful reporter standing next to him was completely stupid.
β»β»β»
He Feng and Yan Kang, who were in the back studio, were still expecting what Hu Lai would say, so they sat in their chairs with smiles on their faces and listened to the live broadcast of the interview sent back by the reporter from the front.
Unexpectedly, they heard such a powerful news.
When the scene cuts back to the back studio, the two of them have stunned expressions on their faces.
Facing the camera position with the green light on, I didn't know what to say for a while.
But it must also be said......
"This ...... It's really ......" He Feng's brain was running at high speed, and at the same time, he used a slower speed of speech to delay time and let him come up with suitable words. "Hulai seems to be ...... Said a ...... It's amazing...... Things ......"
"I did see the news on the Internet before the game that Hu Lai's father Hu Lixin used to play in Baishan Tianchi, and judging from that time, Wang Xianke should also be playing in Baishan Tianchi Club at that time...... The possibility of the two of them becoming teammates is also a hot topic online...... I didn't expect ......" Yan Kang shook his head and didn't continue.

Xie Lan glanced at her husband cautiously.
Hu Lixin felt his wife's gaze, and he sighed: "I can't go up and cover his mouth......"
What else can I do when I say it?
Xie Lan smiled when she heard this: "Isn't this good?" Someone has to poke this out, and if you don't do it, your son will do it, and it's the same. β
"What about after you do it? You see, the narrator can't even speak smoothly......"
"I'll talk about it then, anyway, after tonight, everyone will think about it. Even if there is no evidence, it can disgust and disgust that shit. Xie Lan snorted.

Because of losing the FA Cup championship, Wang Xianke scolded the players in the locker room.
When he finished scolding the players and then went to the post-match press conference, he was naturally late.
However, when he arrived at the venue, he found that none of the reporters were in a hurry, and they were all waiting for him very patiently.
Especially when he entered the room, he could feel the sudden silence in the room.
This made him a little confused, but instead of showing it, he continued to sit down with a stinky face, and then began to elaborate on his opinion on the match: "...... We played very badly and the reason for losing the title was entirely up to us. If both sides play normally, we can't afford to lose away to a Chinese team......"
He said these things as a necessary part of every manager's post-match press conference, and when he was done, it was the time for reporters to ask questions.
But today, the reporters did not analyze the meaning of Wang Xianke's words, nor did they care about Wang Xianke's contempt for Shanxing in his words......
They looked at Wang Xianke, and just wanted to raise their hands and ask questions as soon as he finished speaking.
Although not all reporters were there when CCTV interviewed, how could such a shocking news be concealed in the media circle?
Even some fast-moving reporters can't help but put the news on the Internet first, whether there is evidence or not, whether it is true or not, first attract attention.
Sure enough, under the Weibo of all reporters who released the news in advance, the number of retweets and replies is soaring rapidly.
First of all, this FA Cup match was broadcast live to the whole country, and many fans watched it.
Secondly, Hulai's performance in this match is indeed unprecedented, and all topics related to him are naturally hot topics.
So when Hu Lai revealed that his father was kicked by Wang Xianke, the current head coach of Dashun Golden Arrows, and retired early, as soon as the news was put on the Internet, it immediately attracted a lot of attention and spread.
And now these reporters are gathered here, and they also want to ask Wang Xianke to verify this matter.
Hu Lai did not say in the interview that he had any evidence, but without evidence, he dared to frame the best local head coach in Chinese football like this?
Judging from Hulai's past words and deeds, he doesn't look like a casual and crazy person......
He also revealed in an interview after the game that Sun He, the youth director of the Poseidon Club, had suppressed and insulted him, and there was no evidence at the time, but soon after, the "Lingnan Evening News" reported the testimony of the former Poseidon youth team players who played with Hu Lai, proving that Sun He had indeed done that kind of excesses.
So Sun He was swept out of the house by the Poseidon Club......
Now that he's doing it again, he doesn't say that there is any evidence, but do you really think that Hulai is biting people?
Naturally not.
Now reporters just want to know how Wang Xianke will react when he is confronted with this question - I wonder if he already knew in advance what Hulai said in the post-match interview, but ...... Looking at his expression and tone now, it seems that he is still immersed in the anger of losing the FA Cup final, so maybe he doesn't know it yet.
After all, he is probably busy scolding his players in the locker room, how can he have time to surf the Internet?
Wang Xianke finally finished what he was going to say, the main content was that the critic's own players did not play well, and there was nothing else nutritious and valuable.
Then looking at the eager reporters below, he thought they were trying to see his jokes, so in a bad mood, he announced: "I'm only going to answer one question, I'm sorry my team is still waiting for me......"
When he said this, the audience had already raised their arms.
He was very glad that he had made such a provision in advance, and no matter how many people raised their hands to ask a question, he would only answer one question......
With this mentality, he asked the press officer to order someone casually.
As soon as the man stood up, he asked loudly: "Coach Wang, Hu Lai accused you of deliberately kicking and injuring his father Hu Lixin when you were playing football in Baishan Tianchi in an interview after the game, is there really such a thing?!" β
Wang Xianke was stunned.
