Chapter 91: Your Death Matters to Me
Zhang Qiang sat on the rostrum and watched the game with Dong Wen, the general manager of Shining Star.
It's just that his expression is not very good-looking.
But the fat man next to him smiled happily, and his facial features on a fat face were squeezed to the middle, like a bun with a thin skin and a big filling......
It can literally ooze the oil.
The reason why this fat man is so happy is naturally because now in the score, the lead is actually the away team Anton Shining!
That's right, at Poseidon's home stadium, it was the away team that scored first.
Wang Guangwei !! Taking advantage of a free-kick in front, he gave the Shining Star the lead with a header! "The narrator He Feng is shouting." It was his first goal of the season! ”
After the goal, Wang Guangwei waved his fist to the sky, and then was hugged by his teammates.
"I'll go, Lao Wang, your celebration after scoring a goal is too uncreative, isn't it?" After Hu Lai hugged Wang Guangwei, he did not congratulate, but complained. "This is your first goal of the season! You just waved your hand? People who don't know still think you're taking a taxi! ”
"I don't score goals very often!" Wang Guangwei retorted, "What are you doing with all those bells and whistles? ”
Setting the background for the elated stars are the dejected Poseidon players.
Captain Chen Faren picked the football out of the goal and threw it into the center circle, then he shook his head slightly with his hands on his hips.
Back last season, when the Twinkles met them in the FA Cup, they could only hope for a bizarre set-piece to score, and the whole team put on a burlesque in front of them like circus clowns.
And now, the same set-piece score, the shining star is an ordinary set-piece tactic, there is nothing clever about it.
Zhang Qinghuan kicked the football to the middle, and Wang Guangwei carried Kim Jae-kun, a South Korean international, and scored with a header.
Simple and crude, in the blink of an eye, the goal was scored.
Is there any clever set-piece tactics?
Not at all.
But Poseidon just didn't prevent it.
This corner is just a microcosm of the game so far.
The veteran Chinese Super League team Poseidon found that they were a little difficult to cope with when facing promoted horses.
You know, this is their home turf!
As a result, in the first half, they were beaten by the sharp and ferocious attack of the shining star, and they couldn't hold their heads up until they lost the goal......
Because they played against the Twinkles in the FA Cup last season, the Poseidon players felt it very deeply, and there was a before and after contrast, and the contrast was stark.
Anyone who played in last season's FA Cup match will now see that this team has changed a lot from last year.
The improvement of the strength of the squad is one thing, and the improvement of self-confidence is probably the most important.
Today's shining stars don't need to rely on those bells and whistles to defeat the sea god, they can probably do it with their own strength......
And Wang Guangwei's goal is proof of this.
When facing Poseidon, Shining Star doesn't feel weaker than Poseidon, even if it's away, they don't have this idea.
After Wang Guangwei's goal, head coach Zhao Kangming did not celebrate, but used gestures to remind the players to stay calm when they returned to the second half after the celebration.
The first half was over, although the Twinkling Star scored first. But this is Poseidon's home turf after all, so it's better to be cautious.
Sure enough, after losing the ball, Poseidon launched a fierce attack on Shiningxing's goal, and Shiningstar recovered it in time to leave Chen Xing to fight back.
In this way, he withstood the offensive of Poseidon and kept the score of 1:0 until the end of the first half.
When the half-time whistle sounded, Dong Wen on the rostrum also bowed his hand to Zhang Qiang next to him and said: "Mr. Zhang, I will accept and ......."
Zhang Qiang held back his anger: "There is still half a game." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, there is still half time, and the football is round......"
Seeing the fat man's hippie smiling face, Zhang Qiang was angry, so he simply ignored him and got up to leave the table.
And Dong Wen looked back at Zhang Qiang's back, and the smile on his face did not decrease.
He thanked this President Zhang from the bottom of his heart If it weren't for him, how could he have invited Zhao Kangming to be the head coach How could he have dug up the treasure of Hu Lai with only 500,000 yuan?
Great benefactor!
I heard that Mr. Zhang has been in some trouble recently.
In fact, he hoped that Mr. Zhang would stay in this position as long as possible, after all, he was also worried that after the sea god came up, he would dig his corner in turn.
※※※
As soon as Gao Youjun went to the toilet and returned to the media seat, he saw several local reporters discussing the future and fate of Zhang Qiang, the general manager of the Poseidon Club.
"Eh, you said that if you lose this game, will Zhang Qiang get out of class?"
"Not so fast, right?"
"I think even if he doesn't leave after this game, he's not far from leaving...... To be honest, Zhang Qiang threw away all the traditions of the sea god as soon as he came up, and as a result, no one was a ghost. Last season's results looked okay ꓹ Is it because of the freshness, and how much money was spent behind it? It is said that the annual salary of Matthews' coaching team is more than five times that of Zhao Kangming's in the shining star - look, loser! Take so much money to invite the handsome, and buy a bunch of people back, did you get any results? I wonder if Zhang Qiang has taken kickbacks in these transfer deals! ”
"Who's to say it isn't? If we had used one-fifth of the money given to Matthews to let Zhao Kangming lead the team, I can't do it now, we can also qualify from the AFC Champions League group......"
"I think Zhang Qiang's worst decision was to completely abolish Poseidon's youth training tradition...... In Chinese football, everyone knows how difficult it is to establish a high-level youth training system. Lao Zhao spent ten years of hard work to create a golden sign of youth training for Poseidon...... As a result, as soon as Zhang Qiang came to power, he was all smashed. Even if he is taken down, it will not be easy for Poseidon Club to reshape the youth training...... Alas! ”
Gao Youjun's personal emotional tendency is not a fan of Poseidon, and he is not familiar with the reporters of the Poseidon Club, so he didn't get involved in the introduction, just silently observed.
Listening to these perennial reports on Zhang Qiang's heart-wrenching criticism of the Poseidon Club, Gao Youjun couldn't be happy even though he knew that Zhang Qiang's good days were just a few days away.
Because of a mistake in the choice of route, the things accumulated by the Poseidon Club before were all lost, and it was even more difficult to turn back, and it was almost impossible to go back to the past.
In China, the football ecology is very fragile, and if you take the wrong path once, a club that has developed well may not be able to turn over.
On the one hand, it is the representative of southern football, which has produced many players with outstanding skills, and on the other hand, it is naturally the youth training system established by Zhao Kangming.
With two advantages and characteristics, Poseidon Football Club has always had a large number of loyal fans in Nanling Province.
Poseidon does not have as much of an aura of honor as the South China Tigers, and these fans support them because they recognize Poseidon's football philosophy.
As a result, now Poseidon's football philosophy has been thrown away by themselves......
There's nothing wrong with chasing the title, but every year there is only one championship in the league, so what about the remaining fifteen teams? Are they all good-for-nothing losers?
Gao Youjun feels that it is more difficult to maintain his own characteristics and operate steadily than winning the championship.
A league is like a pyramid, and the champion is naturally the top of the pyramid, but the key to ensuring the healthy growth and continuous development of this league is not in the top of the tower, but in the base, in the "small team" that may not have won a few championships in the history of many hundred years.
Originally, Poseidon was such a small team, but it had ambitions that did not match its own strength and positioning......
It's okay to be ambitious, you have to throw money, spend money to improve your strength, but you spend half of the money, and now you don't want to do it......
He is not a fan of Poseidon, but he also has a relationship with the discussions of those reporters and feels sorry for Poseidon.

'We're only one goal ahead and it's not a time to be happy. Think about the last round of the league, how did we draw at home by Hedong Thunderbolt? Be warned, boys! If we don't win games, if we don't learn from them, then we will continue to concede goals and lose points! What is Growth? It's knowing not to trip over the same stone twice...... At the very least, you can't trip over it twice in a row! ”
In the away team's locker room, Zhao Kangming was making mobilization orders for his players.
'So in the second half, keep putting pressure on them. By moving from one wing to another in what we are good at, we create confusion in their defence, so that they can't react properly...... At that time, it will be time for us to give them the fatal blow! ”
Zhao Kangming smashed his fist into his palm.
The players looked up at their head coach, gritting their teeth and looking a little hideous.
※※※
After the start of the second half of the game, Chen Mo stood on the sidelines and asked Zhao Kangming: "Do you still want to take revenge on the sea god?" ”
Zhao Kangming shook his head: "No." ”
"Then your halftime expression, I think it scared a lot of the players. It's like I can't wait to break the sea god's corpse into thousands of pieces......"
"I do wish I could defeat the Poseidon, but not because I still hate the Poseidon." Zhao Kangming looked at the game that had already begun, and said to Chen Mo, "Old Chen, have you heard?" Zhang Qiang is having a hard time now. ”
"I heard that the club board is said to be considering removing him. Now that I think about it, the reaction of the board of directors is really slow enough. If you want me to say, we knocked Poseidon out of the FA Cup last year, and they should have done it. ”
"At that time, he still had Sun He, a substitute for the dead. Now he's the only one left and I want to push him, so I have to beat Poseidon away. ”
Chen Mo understood the meaning of this long-time old partner, but he was a little pessimistic: "It's not me who said, Lao Zhao." Even if Zhang Qiang goes down, what's the use? Now the sea god can't go back. What took you ten years to build, it only takes a day to destroy it. ”
"You're right, Chen. But that's all I can do, and being able to let someone like Zhang Qiang leave the club can be regarded as my last contribution to Poseidon. ”
Then the two old ministers of the sea god stopped talking, but just looked at the court quietly.

In the 63rd minute, Shinxing launched an offensive on the side, Zhang Qinghuan pulled to the side of the road, and after receiving Chen Xingyi's pass, he sent a cross.
Hulai first rushed forward in the middle, then suddenly stopped and retreated, ran out of an open space and headed straight at the goal.
"Hulai! Unmarked – pretty! Twinkle Star scores another goal! Led Lingnan Poseidon 2:0 away from home! ”
After the goal, Hulai waved at his teammates who wanted to come up and celebrate with him, signaling them not to come up yet, and then ran straight to the bottom of the podium and made his trademark celebration gesture to the top.
Zhang Qiang, who was on the high platform, only felt that his heart hurt a little......
The tide is over.
