Chapter 49: The Grace of Not Killing

Qin Lin received the ball passed to him by Xia Xiaoyu, and he shouted at the latter: "You come!" ”

Then he passed the football back to Xia Xiaoyu.

Meanwhile, South China Tigers striker Alessandro de Lima also pounced on Xia Xiaoyu.

Xia Wu in front of the TV couldn't help but sweat for Xia Xiaoyu, because Xia Xiaoyu was completely facing away from Alejandro, and I don't know if he saw the situation behind him.

At this moment, Xia Xiaoyu in the broadcast camera quickly glanced back and found Alessandro who pounced, so he faced the football and made a gesture to catch the ball in advance.

After attracting Alessandro to pounce, he cleverly leaked the ball to the other side of him, then turned around again and let Alessandro behind him!

"Good shot!" Commentator He Feng shouted.

In front of the TV, cheers rang out in the living room of Xia Xiaoyu's house, which was synchronized with the cheers on the TV.

Xia Xiaoyu, who turned around, changed from facing the direction of attack with his back to facing the direction of attack.

He glanced up at the situation in front of him before catching up with the football, and then passed the football to Zhang Qinghuan, who retreated to pick him up.

After passing the ball, Xia Xiaoyu did not stop and enter the theater mode, but accelerated and rushed forward, as if he wanted to cooperate with Zhang Qinghuan to make a two-by-one collision with the wall, attracting the midfield defense of the South China Tigers to concentrate on his sprint route.

Zhang Qinghuan passed the football to the side and gave it to Chen Xingyi.

Rushing to Chen Xingyi with the football was the South China Tigers' midfielder Huang Yao, who seemed to want to take advantage of the momentum of this sprint to block Chen Xingyi and give the opponent a dismount.

But Chen Xingyi's feet were more flexible than he imagined, he kicked first, and gently bucketed the rolling football with his toes, and at the same time he quickly jumped up to avoid the opponent's rush, and then quickly started after landing, bypassing Huang Yao, who couldn't stop the car, catching up with the football, and running towards the South China Tiger's penalty area!

The shining stars in the stands let out a huge cheer again.

"Hey! Chen Xingyi's breakthrough is beautiful! He makes the most of his flexibility and fast start-up speed! In comparison, Huang Yao is a little underestimated! ”

Huang Yao, who pounced too violently, turned around and tried his best to chase back, but he couldn't catch up, and Chen Xingyi's starting speed was really very fast.

He was now almost within 30 meters of the South China Tiger.

The South China Tigers' back Jiang Chuan quickly moved closer to Chen Xingyi, and formed a flanking attack with right defender Yu Daisong.

Chen Xingyi did not act brutally in the face of the two people's sandwich, but chose to slow down, and while waiting for fullback Liu Binwei to plug in, he also gave his teammates the opportunity to pick him up.

Hu Lai pulled out of the penalty area, moved closer to the left wing, and moved closer to Chen Xingyi.

As the top scorer of the shining star, his run naturally also involved the strength of the South China Tigers' backline.

Seeing that Hu Lai pulled out a gap in the South China Tigers' backline, Chen Xingyi directly crossed with his feet and ran to the front point.

The other striker who started this game, Li Rong, is rushing towards the void that Hulai pulled out.

However, the captain of the South China Tigers in front of the goal, central defender Yao Huasheng has long seen through the key points of this wave of attack.

After Chen Xingyi's cross, he quickly stuck his position, jumped up and pushed the ball out with his head before Li Rong arrived.

The ball that was pushed out flew out of the box.

Zhang Qinghuan, who had just passed the ball to Chen Xingyi in the midfield, had pressed to the line of the big penalty area, but the football flew over his head.

It seems that this offensive of the shining star has ended here......

But at this moment, a white figure appeared in front of the South China Tiger penalty area, taking advantage of the opportunity before Jiang Chuan was transferred out of the back waist and had no time to return to the defense, and then the flying football picked up his feet!

"Xia Xiaoyu!" He Feng shouted.

Xia Xiaoyu's family in front of the TV couldn't help but shout.

I saw that Xia Xiaoyu chose to shoot directly with a non-stop ball!

Before the other players of the South China Tigers could react, the football had already been shot towards the goal by him!

The shining stars in the stands erupted in cheers.

Of course they should cheer, because Xia Xiaoyu's foot is quite high. You must know that you can still hold it down if you don't stop the ball and volley directly, but it's not easy!

Many fans of the Shining Star may have begun to look forward to the lead of the Shining Star over the Chinese Super League champions.

But in the next second, Lin Zhiyuan rose into the air and lifted the football off the crossbar with one palm!

"Lin Zhiyuan! Wow!! Nice save! The young talented goalkeeper made his first effective save of the game! ”

Xia Xiaoyu's relatives in front of the TV sighed for a long time, regretting that Xia Xiaoyu was not able to score.

Xia Wu was also among them holding his head.

※※※

After Lin Zhiyuan got up from the ground, he stretched out his hand in the direction of Xia Xiaoyu.

This is not the first time the two have faced each other, and there was a meeting in the national competition. At that time, Xia Xiaoyu was the core of Dongchuan Middle School, both a father and a mother, not only to organize the attack, but also to be responsible for shooting and scoring, and had many direct conversations with Lin Zhiyuan.

Of course, he failed to win that contest, and Dongchuan Middle School was also eliminated by Lin Zhiyuan's Yuntai Middle School.

Lin Zhiyuan made this move to Xia Xiaoyu, as if to remind him not to forget that game, because this is how he spread his hands after saving Xia Xiaoyu's shot.

But Xia Xiaoyu was not affected by Lin Zhiyuan's action, there was no expression fluctuation on his face, and he was not impatient in his heart, and he didn't even hold his head with his hands to express regret.

He was at peace because he knew that he wasn't needed to be the main attacker this time, and that the shot was just catching up.

After being eliminated from the national competition, he imagined more than once that if Dongchuan Middle School still had Hu Lai, Lin Zhiyuan would not be able to stop Dongchuan Middle School from moving forward.

And now, without him having to imagine, Hulay was in his ranks, giving him a thumbs up.

So Xia Xiaoyu also smiled in the direction where Hu Lai was.

Zhang Qinghuan slapped him next to him and encouraged him: "I shot beautifully, although I didn't score, but it was indeed a great shot." ”

Qin Lin ran up and patted him on the back: "It's good to plug in the front." ”

Head coach Zhao Kangming just finished clapping on the sidelines, and said to Chen Mo beside him: "I don't think I need to worry too much about Xia Xiaoyu's performance in this game. ”

Chen Mo also nodded: "Well, he got off to a good start." ”

They are both experienced coaches and are well aware of the importance of the quality of the first shot in a game to build the confidence of the attacking players.

Xia Xiaoyu was able to hit such a high-quality shot, although he didn't score, for him, he has also built up a valuable self-confidence, which will help him play at a normal level or play beyond the norm in the next games.

Before Zhao Kangming decided to let Xia Xiaoyu start, in fact, he was still a little worried in his heart, afraid that he would do this to encourage the seedlings, but it would make Xia Xiaoyu carry a heavy psychological burden and couldn't let go of his hands and feet. If you don't play well, I'm afraid you will have to spend more time to rediscover your feelings and self-confidence, which is a long detour for the growth of young players.

Now, his heart can fall into his stomach.

To be honest, with this result, even if the Super Cup loses in the end, Zhao Kangming will not feel that he has gained nothing.

※※※

With Xia Xiaoyu's shot, Shiningstar won the first corner kick after the opening.

Zhang Qinghuan went to take a corner kick, but did not directly hang the football in front of the goal, but played a short corner kick with Chen Xingyi, who came up to pick him up.

After Chen Xingyi took the ball, he made a gesture to force a breakthrough inside, causing Huang Yao, who was defending him, to take a step back, but he did not go inside, but buttoned the football, and then made an inverted triangle pass, and passed the football to Qin Lin outside the penalty area with his left foot.

At the same time that the football was passed to Qin Lin, Lin Zhiyuan was shouting: "Forward pressure!" ”

He was reminding his team-mates in the box to press for offside en masse.

Based on the team's captain Yao Huasheng, the South China Tigers' backline quickly moved forward, almost in sync with Lin Zhiyuan's loud reminder.

directly made Wang Guangwei, Ding Yuanhai, and Xia Xiaoyu, who were originally preparing to fight for the header in front of the goal, fall into an offside situation.

Qin Lin had actually seen this scene, but he still turned his ankle sideways, and without stopping the ball, he directly pushed the football sent by Chen Xingyi diagonally into the penalty area......

Another central defender of the South China Tigers, international Patricia Alvarez from Costa Rica, raised his arm at this point.

But if he saw the figure that was inserted forward at the moment of Qin Lin's pass, he might not raise his hand at the back of his diagonal side.

In the South China Tigers' penalty area, there were three shining star players in an offside position, but the ball was not passed to them, but to the back point and given to Hu Lai, who came out of the crowd retrograde!

"No offside!" He Feng shouted.

Hulay had thrown his whole body out, shoveling at the soccer ball that was hurtling forward on the turf.

Shovel shot!

Lin Zhiyuan flew and pounced!

Didn't pounce!

The soccer ball grazed the outside of the post and slid out of the baseline...... Didn't go in either!

The stands rang out with simultaneous exclamations from fans of both teams.

"Hoo ——!!!"

"Oops! Almost! The South China Tigers escaped, and their backline missed Hulai when they were offside, which was a big mistake! And Twinkle Star also missed a great opportunity to take the lead! Hu Lai was a little reluctant when he shot, and he was enough to kick it......" He Feng commented on this attack and defense.

"It was only seven minutes into the game when the Twinkling Star had two dangerous attacks in a row. There's something about this Super League promotion team! ”

Yan Kang next to him smiled: "Is that okay?" Otherwise, someone else can win the FA Cup? This should have been a battle of revenge in the heart of Wang Xianke's guidance! Ha! ”

Last season, Wang Xianke was aiming to defend his title, but the Chinese Super League title was snatched by the South China Tigers. If he can lead the team to win the FA Cup, he can naturally seek revenge against the South China Tigers in this season's Super Cup.

But now...... He can only be used as a joke material, and he was slightly mentioned by Yan Kang when he was commenting on the game, and he brushed up his presence.

※※※

After Lin Zhiyuan landed, he rolled over, lay on the turf, and then turned his head to look at the bottom line, where the football that Hu Lai had just shot hit the billboard and bounced back, just rolling back onto the bottom line.

Then he heard a cry of regret coming from the back of his head.

When he looked back, he saw Hulai sitting on the turf with his head in his hands, looking extremely regretful.

So he got up from the ground with his hands on his body, and then hummed to Hulai: "It's a pity, Hulai, you missed the best scoring opportunity of the game." ”

He began to wage psychological warfare against Hulai.

Hu Lai, who was annoyed, heard him say this, so he put down his hands covering his face: "Then why don't you kneel down and thank me for not killing?" ”

Lin Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment: "! ”

A new message popped up in the WeChat group of the U23 Asian Cup of the National Olympic Team.

Wang Zijian: "Lin Zhiyuan actually went to Hu Lai and took the initiative to speak?" He's not in the water, is he? When the national Olympic team was in white training together? Don't know what Hulai is good at? ”

Li Chengwu: "You can't say that, who knows what they said?" Besides, Lin Zhiyuan is also quite capable of spewing trash talk, maybe it's a peak duel......"

Wang Zijian: "What if you can spray again?" Although I don't know what the two of them said, you can see Lin Zhiyuan's expression that this kid must have brought humiliation on himself! ”

In the TV broadcast, Lin Zhiyuan's expression of frowning and pouting teeth appeared.

He Feng said: "Lin Zhiyuan also seems to be a little afraid of Hu Lai's shot just now...... Although Hulai's shot was reluctant, the quality of the shot was not low, just a little worse! ”
