The next round of the FA Cup will not be until July 10, and the next round of the AFC Champions League will not be until the end of August, which is a rare respite for Zhao Kangming.

Teams don't have to play twice a week anymore.

This kind of day will continue until the AFC Champions League resumes fighting.

But that doesn't mean the team can really sit back and relax.

Don't look at the current team ranking fourth in the league, but Zhao Kangming still has a sword of Damocles hanging above his head.

He is always worried that since the training camp of the national Olympic team, after the flash star lacks these absolute main players, his results will plummet.

Out of concern for this future, Zhao Kangming decided to take advantage of Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi and Wang Guangwei to earn a little more points in the league while they were still away.

If this kind of statement spreads, it will definitely make many people feel unreasonable - you are now fourth in the league!

How can there be a fourth-place league player who is worried about relegation?

The fourth place in the league should be considered to ensure that they can qualify for the AFC Champions League, right?

But Zhao Kangming is really not pretending to be forced, but really worried about relegation.

Not only for the Olympics, but many of his main players will be absent for about two months.

The Chinese Super League will not be suspended for two months, and will miss about seven rounds of league games.

The Chinese Super League has only 30 league rounds in the whole season.

Don't look at the flashstars are now fourth in the league, but the fifth place in the league is only one point away from them. The sixth-place capital Tenglong is also only two points behind them, and the seventh-place Shanhai Blue Moon is three points behind the shining star.

From eighth to eleventh place, the four teams have 15 points.

These four teams are five points separating the shining stars.

Judging from the points situation, although the flash star ranks fourth, the advantage in points is not so big.

From fourth in the league to eleventh in the league, that is, five points, the difference between two games is only.

In other words, if the flash star misses in the two games, the ranking may fall more.

Not to mention that after Hulai went to the Olympic team, he missed about seven games.

In such a mentality, in the weekend away game against Chongshan Qianfan, the main force of the shining star was exerted.

Zhang Qinghuan, who was absent from the capital Tenglong game before, also started.

Although it was an away game, the all-main Shining Star defeated Chifan Shigeyama 2:1 and retreated with three points.

A week later, the flashing stars who returned to their home stadium welcomed the Yellow Sea Bluebird, who was at the bottom of the league rankings, and there was nothing to say about this opponent, who simply won the opponent neatly and took all three points.

3:0, the front trident is one person and one ball.

With this wave of two consecutive wins, the Twinkle Star also rose one place in the league ranking to third place.

The Shanhai player, who was originally ranked second, fell all the way to fourth because of three consecutive draws.

The sailor seems to be like a lesson from the past of the shining star, which deepens Zhao Kangming's sense of crisis.

You must know that Shanhai Players have been ranked first in the league at the highest this season, and they are not the kind of temporary league first, they have been in the first place in the league for several rounds.

As a result, I am now slowly slipping from the first place.

From leading the league standings alone, to being caught up by the South China Tigers, and then being at a disadvantage in goal difference, it became second with the South China Tigers on the same points.

Now it's just going from second to third and then fourth in the standings.

Don't look at the South China Tigers are now in first place, and with fierce competition, no one knows what their final league standings will be.

After the match against the Yellow Sea Jade Birds, the league was temporarily suspended, and the national team break day came.

The Chinese national team will participate in the round of 40 of the World Cup qualifiers.

The national Olympic team is two warm-up games.

Ding Yuanhai and Zhang Qinghuan participate in the World Cup qualifiers for the Chinese team.

Hu Lai, Wang Guangwei and Chen Xingyi once again represented the National Olympic team.

These two warm-up games are also the last two warm-up games before the training camp of the national Olympic team.

After playing these two warm-up games, when the league in June is over, the national Olympic team will assemble again for a month-long training camp.

In the first half of the training camp, they will train in China.

In the second half, they will fly to Europe and go to Spain for training in advance to adapt to the local weather and diet, so as to prepare for the first time for the national Olympic team to participate in the Olympic Games.

In these two warm-up games, the national Olympic team finally achieved one win and one loss.

Unlike the warm-up game in March, where no player was able to play the full game, the line-up of the two warm-up games was relatively fixed, with players in several key positions starting and playing for a long time.

Among them, Hulai even played the whole game.

Obviously, as the Olympic Games approach, Shi Wuyun no longer conducts unlimited personnel combination tests, but tries to fix the lineup and step up the run-in of this lineup, so that they can play their best in the Olympic Games.

Through these two games, the outside world can also see to some extent what the main offensive lineup of the national Olympic team will look like.

Center Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi on the left, Luo Kai on the right, and behind them is Guo Junfu.

This is the main offensive lineup of the national Olympic team.

The exact amount of their attacking firepower has been shown and proven at the U23 Asian Cup.

In the entire U23 Asian Cup, the Chinese team scored the most goals among all the participating teams. Of course, this was also partly due to Hulai's five goals in nine minutes against Qatar's Olympic team, which China scored seven goals in that game, more than many teams scored in the entire Under-23 Asian Cup.

In the two warm-up games in June, this set of main offensive combinations played together for a very long time, and Shi Wuyun did not make substitutions and adjustments easily.

With the ability of the Chinese Olympic team, it makes no sense to talk about the depth of the bench, and it would be good to be able to ensure that the main squad has combat effectiveness. After all, with the overall strength of Chinese football, they can't come up with so many young players with enough ability at one time.

Compared with the thickness of the bench, Shi Wuyun pays more attention to the performance of the main players in these two games.

What makes him feel relieved is that the offensive firepower of the national Olympic team is not bad.

Against the Italian Olympic team and the Cameroon Olympic team, two goals and three goals were scored respectively.

Hulay scored one goal in each of those two games, with the rest of the ball being played by three different players, with both the left and right attacking sides scoring and not walking with a limp.

After playing the National Olympic team game, Hulai and his teammates returned to the shining star.

However, they will not stay long in the shining star, and they will go to the national Olympic team again in half a month, and this time they will be away for a long time.

Of course, Zhao Kangming hopes to earn more points while Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi and Wang Guangwei are still in the team.

But it backfired.

In the fourteenth round, the shining star was forced to draw by the tenacious Shangdu Shenwei on his home turf.

They led twice in the game and were twice equalised.

After the second equaliser, the players were generally impatient, played poorly, and failed to win in the end. In the locker room after the game, Zhao Kangming lost his temper in a rare way and criticized the performance of the players very harshly.

But that didn't help the team win the next games as they next challenged league leaders Lingnan South China Tigers.

The South China Tigers, who lost the Super Cup, are holding back their energy to take revenge in this game.

They finally defeated the Shining Star 4:1, and they spit out all the bad breath that they had been holding back since the Super Cup.

It was Lin Zhiyuan who guarded the goal for the South China Tigers in this game.

Although the team won, his mood did not improve.

Because he still conceded a goal in the game, and the goal he conceded was scored by Hulai.

So in the individual duel with Hulai, he still lost......

Winning was supposed to be a happy thing, but now after letting Hu Lai score a goal, Lin Zhiyuan feels like eating a fly, and he can't be happy at all.

Of course, Hu Lai's side was not happy because he broke through Lin Zhiyuan's goal.

After two consecutive rounds of winlessness, the Shining Star fell from third to fifth in the league standings, and they are about to slide towards the relegation zone!

Fortunately, in the sixteenth round of the next league, the flash star finally broke out, defeating Yunyang Phoenix 3:2 away.

With the win in this game, as well as the draw of the dragon, the Twinkle moved up one place in the league standings to fourth place with 30 points.

Before Hulai and the others left, they stopped the decline and did not let the collapse come early......

However, in the eyes of outsiders, their feelings are obviously completely different from Zhao Kangming.

At the post-match press conference after the 3:2 victory over Yunyang Phoenix, reporters asked Zhao Kangming: "The second half of the league has begun, and the current flash star is in fourth place, with as many as 30 points." There is such a saying that if you want to be relegated in the Super League, the points cannot be less than 30 points. And the shining star happens to be thirty points now, may I ask Director Zhao, do you think the team has completed the relegation task ahead of schedule now? ”

The atmosphere of the post-match press conference was generally relaxed, and the reporter who asked the question also threw the question with a smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Kangming changed his face when he heard this question, and said with a serious face: "I don't know if thirty points can make us successful in relegation." All I know is that in the next two months, we will face a shortage of major generals. I don't know what's going to happen, so 30 points isn't safe for us at the moment. ”

Hearing Zhao Kangming's words, a group of reporters looked at each other, and many of them still had the relaxed smiles on their faces.

What does Zhao Kangming mean by this?

The league has played 16 rounds, and the Yellow Sea Jade Bird, who is the last to the bottom of the registration, has only eight points at present, and there are no double digits.

The second-to-last South China Sea team currently has only 13 points. It's seventeen points away from the shining star.

Isn't such a huge point difference still enough to guarantee the success of the stars in relegation this season?

What's wrong? You Shinstar plan to lose in the next seven in a row?

Zhao Kangming's words are really too bad......

Your fourth-ranked team can't say that the relegation has been successful, so how can the second-to-last South China Sea team be embarrassed?

Those who don't know think you're satirizing the South China Sea team.

Some people thought that Zhao Kangming was joking, but looking at his expression, he couldn't see that there was any joke in it.

After a group of reporters finished looking at each other, they all lowered their heads.

Okay, write it truthfully.

“…… The fourth star coach in the league, Zhao Kangming, said that the team is still not relegated......"
