The Twinkle Star was the first to threaten the South China Tigers' goal after the opening, and two consecutive shots on goal were extremely threatening, which gave the fans in the stands and in front of the TV a delusion.

That is, they feel that the Chinese Super League championship is nothing more than that, and the flashing star will definitely be able to easily defeat the South China Tigers in the Super Cup, win the Super Cup, and become the king of kings in Chinese football.

But the actual course of the game was not what these shining star fans thought it would be.

After being threatened twice in a row by the flashing star in the opening game, the South China Tigers did not panic. On the contrary, they are steady and patient.

They didn't play fast like the Twinkles, and if the chances weren't good, they would rather slow down, control in the midfield, and pass a lap back and forth in the backfield, rather than risk going forward.

This is the South China Tigers' usual style of football: steady.

Steady as an old dog.

Of course, they are qualified to be so stable, because their overall strength is very strong, and there are basically no shortcomings in the front, middle and back lines.

Whether it is a single game or an entire season, "stability" is the characteristic of the South China Tigers.

Last season, the South China Tigers and Golden Arrows competed for the league title.

Although Golden Arrow has always maintained the lead, the South China Tiger has bitten Golden Arrow and has not fallen behind, but patiently waited for Golden Arrow to make a mistake.

They are not the kind of waiting to passively surrender their fate to their opponents, but use this kind of stable play and pressing to force the Golden Arrows to make mistakes after they can't withstand the pressure of this lead.

As a result, in the sprint stage of the league, Golden Arrows lost 1:2 away to Hedong Thunder and lost the first place in the league.

After that, the South China Tiger never let Golden Arrow go back.

Until the end of the league, the South China Tigers firmly occupied the first place in the league with their stable performance, and finally regained the league championship.

This consistency is also often evident in individual games – last season there was a statistic that the South China Tigers won more than 70 per cent of their games as long as they scored first...... Note that it's a win, not a loss.

Their head coach, Friedrich Lechmann, was known for his steady coaching style when he was in charge of German giants Blue and White Munich. Under his tutelage, Blue and White Munich steadily made all their competitors despair and achieved domination of the Bundesliga.

After coming to coach the South China Tigers, he naturally continued to adopt the style he is best at.

With the hard power that the three lines of the South China Tigers have no shortcomings, it really brings "stability" to the fullest.

Of course, this kind of stability does not mean that the football of the South China Tigers is not passionate, negative and ugly. As long as the timing is right and the opportunity comes, they can also play a stormy offensive and destroy the opponent's defense and fighting spirit in a short period of time.

In this Super Cup, although the flashing stars threatened the South China Tigers' goal in the opening game, they did not launch a fierce attack afterwards, trying to find some face in front of the promoted horses.

In fact, Zhao Kangming hopes that the South China Tigers will do this, as long as they are eager to press the attack, they can provide a chance for the Shining's counterattack.

In the case that the overall strength of the shining star is weaker than the opponent, it is natural to hope that the South China Tigers can fall into their rhythm, and both sides raise the rhythm and attack quickly and defend quickly. After the speed, the South China Tiger is likely to make mistakes and vulnerabilities, and Twinkle Star will be able to exploit these vulnerabilities.

The Twinkles have the ability and advantage to play fast, they have a lot of young players in their squad, and the wide players also have the advantage of speed.

Coupled with an efficient goalscorer, he can always take advantage of limited opportunities to score goals, especially suitable for playing against strong teams with few opportunities.

But now the South China Tiger's approach makes Shiningstar feel like he is kicking on an iron plate.

Not only can't they play at the speed, but if they insist on continuing to speed up, it may drag down their own rhythm, causing them to make mistakes and loopholes first.

After realizing this, Zhao Kangming walked to the sidelines and made gestures, asking his players to slow down the rhythm, don't be in a hurry, and appropriately shrink to play defensive counterattacks, still giving full play to his speed advantage, but not as aggressive as before.

Zhao asked the team to shrink back. South China Tigers' assistant coach Matthews Fisher saw the scene and told his longtime partner Friedrich Lechmann. "It's a shame, if they continue to attack like this, we will be able to find the loophole......"

Lechman smiled and shook his head: "Matthews, don't think too stupid about Zhao, he led this team to defeat the Golden Arrows." But all this is in our prediction, it's not a big deal, as long as we stick to our own pace, Zhao's little caution doesn't matter at all. ”

Lechmann didn't make any adjustments to the Shining's intention to shrink the defense and play a quick counter-attack, just sitting in the dugout and watching the game, letting the players on the field play on their own.

He believes that with the ability and experience of players like the South China Tigers, it is simply trivial to cope with the current situation.

In fact, the South China Tigers' players did not disappoint head coach Lehrmann either.

With their great abilities and experience, they slowly maneuvered with the shining star, consuming their patience and sharpness, while also looking for opportunities.

As for Shiningstar, he can only use the few opportunities to fight back.

But because of the South China Tigers' steady style, Shiningxing's counterattacks rarely really threaten the goal guarded by Lin Zhiyuan.

Hu Lai and Lin Zhiyuan never had a direct conversation after they had just started to fight once.

This made the melon-eating crowd in the National Olympic team group waiting to see the excitement quite boring.

"The South China Tigers basically controlled the situation on the field......"

"This is normal, He Feng. After all, there is still a gap between the two teams in terms of strength. ”

Yan Kang and He Feng discussed the ongoing game, and they both saw that the initiative of the game had basically fallen to the South China Tigers.

This did not surprise them, but felt normal.

Although the flashes can be said to have swept in the Chinese League and performed very well in the FA Cup, they are now difficult to compare with the South China Tigers, who have won six championships in the Chinese Super League in ten years.

Many people even think that the appearance of the shining star in the Super Cup is already a great achievement.

Probably except for the most fervent fans of the Shining Stars, no one else thinks they can win.

For this promoted team, being able to use the Super Cup opportunity to play the strongest team in the Chinese Super League first and learn what is important from this game.

After all, if the goal of the flashing stars is relegation, then even if they are killed by the South China Tigers in the league, it will not affect their relegation goals.

No relegation team will be thinking about picking up points against the league leaders, but a match against the leaders may help them identify the gap between themselves and the best in the league. If they can learn something from this game, it will be very important for them to go on their journey to relegation.

In the face of the pressure from the South China Tigers, the shining stars were very tenacious, but they still failed to withstand the South China Tigers' wave after wave and continuous offensive.

In the thirty-fourth minute, the Shining Star Gate was finally lost.

The South China Tigers launched a stacked attack from the flank, and finally their left wing-back Qu Lu played the ball towards the Twinkle goal.

Wang Guangwei grabbed in front of Brazilian striker Alessandro and pushed the ball out.

But the second drop outside the penalty area was controlled by the South China Tigers - this is the result of the previous South China Tigers' layers of pressure, compressing almost all the players of the shining star to the vicinity of the penalty area, and a little farther away are all South China Tigers players.

So even if Wang Guangwei fights for the first point, the South China Tiger can also launch a continuous attack on the shining star by controlling the second landing point.

At this time, they don't have to worry that the space behind them will be used by the shining star, because whether it is Chen Xingyi or Li Rong, they have returned to the penalty area to participate in the defense, and there is no way to counterattack so quickly. From the Shining Star penalty area to the South China Tiger's penalty area, such a long distance is enough to offset the speed advantage of the Shining Star, after all, the South China Tigers' players are not scarecrows, they will defend back.

Controlling the second drop outside the penalty area was South China Tigers midfielder Lou Jiarong, the Chinese national team international first pretended to shoot, deducted Hu Lai, who came up to pounce, and then shot with his foot!

The ball passed through the dense crowd in the penalty area and headed straight for the bottom left corner of the goal.

Shiningstar goalkeeper Yu Zhiming blocked his view from someone in the box, and when he saw the football coming out of the crowd, it was too late to pounce again.

The soccer ball flew low over the turf and into the net!

"Huh? Eh, it is stylish!! He Feng shouted, "Lou Jiarong broke the deadlock with a cold shot from outside the penalty area!" The South China Tigers are leading 1:0! ”

The South China Tigers fans in the stadium stands cheered, while the shining stars opposite them clutched their heads in pain.

After the goal, Lou Jiarong ran to the corner flag area of the shining star, and at the same time beckoned his teammates to come up and celebrate the goal.

In front of him, in the stands, it was the area where South China Tiger fans gathered, and they waved several large flags and wrote: "Tiger in South China, Roaring in the Central Plains!" ”

These flags waved in thunderous cheers, as if setting off a monstrous wave in the stands, and the cheers of the South China Tigers fans were the roar of the huge waves!

"Sure enough, it's the South China Tiger......" Zhao Kangming didn't make much movement after losing the ball, he just raised his eyes and looked at the stands behind the Shining Star Gate.

Chen Mo looked down at his watch: "After thirty-four minutes, facing the Chinese Super League champion, this defensive performance is good enough." But we were still compressed too hard by them, and we didn't want to give up the place outside the penalty area like this......"

"Let's review this kind of thing at halftime." Zhao Kangming shook his head, and after speaking, he got up and walked from his seat to the sidelines.

At the same time, Qin Lin also cast his eyes on the sidelines of the coach's bench - he wanted to see if the head coach would have the latest instructions.

Sure enough, he saw Zhao Kangming make a gesture to him:

Steady, continue to defend and counterattack, don't panic!

He looked at Zhao Kangming and nodded, turned around and shouted to his teammates who were hit: "It's just a ball, it's not a big deal!" Don't think about it, let's hold it until the end of the first half! Withstand their attacks! ”

After the game resumed, the South China Tigers, who broke the deadlock, really launched a more fierce attack on the goal of the shining star.

The fans in front of the TV were so frightened that they didn't dare to take a breath.

However, although he lost the ball, the shining star still stubbornly withstood all the attacks of the South China Tigers next.

Or maybe the South China Tigers sought stability, and saw that the defense of the shining star had not collapsed, so they did not exert full pressure......

With five minutes left in the first half, South China Tigers couldn't break through Shiningxing's goal for a while, and they also took the initiative to shrink and gave up the opportunity to continue besieging Shining. They may be worried that the Twinkle will use those last few minutes to land a quality counterattack or two.

He Feng also sighed: "Take the initiative to give up the advantageous situation...... The South China Tigers' operation is really stable. ”

As the South China Tiger took the initiative to shrink, Shining Star naturally lost the opportunity to fight a quick counterattack.

Seeing this, Shining Star naturally didn't fight back, they were afraid that after they went up, they would be seized by the South China Tiger to fight back.

The last minutes of the first half passed in a kind of calm after a storm.

The South China Tigers temporarily led the Shining Star with a score of 1:0.

Players from both sides walked into the passage one after another, substitute players warmed up, live TV entered commercials, fans and viewers went to the toilet and swiped their mobile phones......

Everyone began to wait for the start of the second half.

But everyone's mind is definitely different.
