With Luo Kai's assist to Barragan's goal, Hedong Raiden finally played a 2:2 draw with Anton Flash Star away.

Chen Xingyi still fulfilled his promise and did not let Luo Kai score under his defense.

With the gap between Hedong Raiden and Anton Shining Star in the rankings, it seems that it is a pity that the former was not able to win the game.

But after watching the game, anyone will feel that the score of 2:2 may be enough for Hedong Raiden to satisfy them.

After Barragan received an assist from Luo Kai to equalize the score, they were not able to take advantage of the victory to chase and finally win the game, but were almost stolen by Chen Xingyi using a counterattack opportunity.

If it weren't for goalkeeper Hao De's bravery, Chen Xingyi's single ball rubbed out of the bottom line with the outside instep, I am afraid that in the end they would have to leave away without a point.

You must know that although the flashes have the home advantage, because they have the AFC Champions League group stage to play, this period of time has been a double game a week, fighting on two fronts, and the physical consumption is greater, and the players are generally more tired than the Hedong Thunderbolt who only plays in the domestic league.

As a result, Hedong Thunder was beaten by the flash star in the away game, and in the end he was able to take away a point, which should indeed be rejoicing, not dissatisfied.

On the other hand, the shining stars were a little unconvinced that they could not win the game at home.

Chen Xingyi, who was single-handedly stabbed, knelt on the ground at that time and didn't get up for a long time.

It was a surprise to see the Shines in their home stadium, as they were a promoted team and had more games than any other opponent.

In terms of their situation in the league and the AFC Champions League, it can be said that if it weren't for the fact that most of the young players in the Shining Star team were in good physical condition, if they were replaced by a team with a higher average age, they would not be as good as the Shining Stars.

For example, Dashun Golden Arrow, the largest in the Super League last season's average age, can only reluctantly give up the domestic league and specialize in the AFC Champions League in the case of double-line combat this season.

So they topped their group in the AFC Champions League, but dropped to 10th place in the Chinese Super League.

With the average age of the main team of the Golden Arrows, it is indeed difficult to cope with the double matches of a week.

After the game, Hedong media were satisfied with Hedong Thunder's performance, and also said that they teamed up with Shining Star to give a wonderful game.

But Anton Media was not very satisfied, and they regretted that they were not able to win.

At this time, they don't think that the flash star is a promotion horse, the flash star season goal is relegation, even if they don't win this game, they are still seventh in the league now, quite far from the relegation zone......

How can a relegated team be dissatisfied because they haven't won third in the league at home?

Anton's local media seems to be influenced and changed by this team little by little......

After seven rounds of league play, the AFC Champions League group stage is over, but the Twinkle Star still can't escape the fate of two games in a week - the FA Cup is coming again.

As a Super League team? They are only in the fourth round of the FA Cup this season.

In the head-to-head draw, they were drawn against a team from the second division.

Is the signing of the ship not bad? There is no direct confrontation with the Super League team.

After all, the FA Cup is a completely random draw, so it is theoretically possible for the Super League team and the Chinese Super League team to meet in the fourth round.

For the FA Cup game, Zhao Kangming is not like playing in the AFC Champions League? Hopefully there's something to learn from that – last season he also wanted the team to get used to playing in the Super League by playing against a Super League side in the FA Cup, but now they're a Super League team? Naturally, there is no such need.

He didn't think much about defending the FA Cup? Honestly, that doesn't mean much. For this season's sparkling stars, the FA Cup has really become like chicken ribs.

Considering the intensity of the schedule this season, Zhao Kangming decided to abandon the FA Cup competition from the beginning.

Of course, the so-called abandonment does not mean that you will directly abandon the game, besides, how can it also be the FA Cup? Although a little bit of chicken ribs? But to train the team? It's okay to create more opportunities for the substitutes to play and practice.

So as the defending champion of this event? When the shining star played against the Chinese B team Gao Yuan Snow Mountain in the fourth round, they sent a full substitute lineup.

Despite the fact that the Twinkle is an all-bench lineup? The strength is still much stronger than the plateau snow mountain.

As the only professional team in the Plateau Province, the Plateau Snow Mountain does not even have its own fixed home field.

Nominally, they represent the Plateau Province in competitions, but whether it is daily training or competition? But they are all wandering in various cities in the mainland.

Last season, they rented a university football field in Jiu'an City, Hexi Province for training and matches, and the players usually lived in the university dormitory, and used the card to eat in the school cafeteria like the college students, and the training was carried out on the university's football field, and the game was directly regarded as their home stadium.

Why choose to train on a field match on loan at the university because the rent is relatively low.

This season, they moved to Thanh Thanh City, Thanh Nam Province, and continued to find a university to serve as a training base and home stadium.

Many times they have nothing to do with the province of Plateau other than their name and sponsors.

But the club has always wanted to go back to their real home stadium to play, but unfortunately the altitude of the plateau is too high, and if they do set their home stadium there, then other teams will refuse to play.

Out of concern for the health and safety of the players, the Football Association will naturally not agree to let them set up a home stadium in Langge City, the capital of the plateau province at an altitude of more than 3,500 meters.

That's why the snow-capped mountains on the plateau are like vagabonds that no one wants.

At the same time, because it is impossible to set the home stadium in the Plateau Province, sponsors from the Plateau Province are also considering divestment, after all, a team cannot bring benefits and reputation to the home location, and cannot even play locally, so how can it really represent local football?

In short, although the flashing stars played all the substitutes, they still defeated their opponents 3:0 in the face of the plateau snow mountain, which could not even guarantee normal training and the rumors of sponsor withdrawal.

The reason why Zhao Kangming let all the important players rest, and didn't even bring them to Qingtang City, was so that they didn't have to waste their physical strength fearlessly in games that they didn't play at all.

After all, there is a relatively important game to be played for the Twinkles, and that game is also away.

In the eighth round of the league, Shining Star challenged Lingnan Poseidon away.

The reason why it is more important to the Twinkle is not because of the grudge between the two teams.

In fact, for both teams, most of the feud was over after last season's FA Cup match.

Zhao Kangming was respected and welcomed by Poseidon fans, and Sun He, who let Hu Lai go, was also dismissed, and now there are very few gimmicks that can be hyped up in this game.

Even the talk of revenge can't be hyped.

After all, in the FA Cup game, there was a reason why Shining Star defeated Poseidon, and it was really wrong for Poseidon Club to drive away Zhao Kang at the beginning, and it was also Poseidon's fault to use insulting language to force Hu Lai to leave the team.

People have defeated the god of the sea with such a mentality, what do you have to take revenge on the god of the sea?

Every time you lose a game, it's considered a "revenge...... Then on the Poseidon's hatred list, Anton Shinxing, who has only fought Poseidon once, can't be ranked anyway.

Since there is no gimmick to speak of, the media's attention to this game is ordinary, and the three battles in eight days between Dashun Golden Arrow and Shining Star are not at all an order of magnitude.

The reason why Zhao Kangming also thinks this game is important for the team is because before the Golden Arrows and the Olympics, the shining star needs to "reserve" some points.

Just in case.

During the Olympic training camp and competitions, in case the flash star loses consecutive battles, then with the current points topped, it will not be really too miserable and fall into the mud.

To put it simply, now the shining stars have to fight for every point they can fight for in the league.

The home team did not win Hedong Thunder, not to mention Anton's local media, Zhao Kangming himself was not satisfied.

He had hoped that the home team could eat the league's third-place Hedong Thunderbolt...... As a result, the three points in hand became one point, and Zhao Kangming hated it in his heart......

In order to win the away game with Poseidon, this time Zhao Kangming started preparations in advance, let the main players rest at home, recuperate, and then follow him to Lingnan City to challenge Poseidon away.

He came up with the strongest lineup he could come up with, so murderous. It's not to take revenge on the sea god, it's just that the sea god happens to be in the way he wants to get points.

The days of Lingnan Poseidon have not been easy this season.

They finished sixth last season, and although they did not qualify for the AFC Champions League, they are still in the upper middle of all 16 Super League teams.

Although it is regrettable to be eliminated by a Chinese team in the FA Cup, with their strength, it may be difficult to beat Dashun Golden Arrows in the final.

When I think about it, I think last season's team results were quite good and quite satisfying.

Originally, all Poseidon fans were counting on the team's results this season to reach a higher level, steadily one step at a time, until they qualified for the AFC Champions League and became a strong contender for the league title.

But after the start of the new season, Poseidon's performance has gone downhill, and it is completely different from last season.

The team is currently in twelfth place in the league standings, a term that is more than double the team's final standings last season, I wonder if it is a trick of fate...... Extraordinarily ironic.

Zhang Qiang, the general manager of the club, has also had a hard time recently.

Several signings in the transfer window have now proven to be relatively unsuccessful, not only failing to strengthen the squad, but also causing the squad to fall by letting go of several players.

Of course, the one who made him the most upset was actually Zhao Kangming.

Seeing Zhao Kangming in Anton, leading this youth-dominated team to rank higher than Poseidon in the first Chinese Super League season, and also won the right to qualify for the AFC Champions League group stage and advanced to the knockout round...... Zhang Qiang's mood can't be better.

It was he who disagreed with Zhao Kangming and forced Zhao Kangming away.

As a result, the people who are now forced away are thriving, and such a comparison is particularly heart-wrenching.

Not only the fans, but also within the club - we should bring back Zhao Kangming, let him be the head coach of the team, and bring his football philosophy back to the sea god. Poseidon is a club that develops a lot of young players, and we naturally have an advantage over other clubs in terms of young talent reserves. After Zhao Kangming came back, everything was familiar to him, and he didn't have to adapt to the run-in at all, and he could get results quickly. And with the relationship between Zhao Kangming and Hu Lai and others, if he can return to the sea god, then maybe we can bring Hu Lai back with him?

Sounds reasonable, but there's a catch.

If Zhao Kangming is recalled, it means that Zhao Kangming's football philosophy has won the victory in Poseidon Club.

Zhang Qiang, who disagrees with him and has huge differences, as a representative of another school of football philosophy, should he be killed first to sacrifice to the sky, so as to fully reflect the sincerity of the Poseidon Club to welcome back Zhao Kangming?

So as long as Zhang Qiang reigns for one day, it is impossible for him to agree to the decision to let the club re-invite Zhao Kangming. After all, he can't "kill myself".

Because that meant making him admit that his course was wrong, and that he had to take responsibility for it, he had no choice but to get out of class and go the other way.

So for Zhang Qing, the next game is also a very important game.

That could have been the fate of his club at all.

If Poseidon can defeat Shiningxing, he can also prove to the board that although Zhao Kangming did a good job in Shiningxing, I didn't take a bad route in Poseidon.

In the world of football, victory is the most convincing proof of this.
