Chapter 019: A Critical Battle

In the final round of the league, the gap between the points between the two top teams was very small. The Dawn team is 2 points ahead of the Kitchee team, in an advantageous position, as long as they win the game, they will be the champion.

And the Kitchee team not only has to win the game against Nanhua by a big score to erase the goal difference gap, but also has to wait for the Dawn team to make a mistake, otherwise they will not have a chance to win the championship.

Nanhua is in poor form this year, and the Kitchee team can win it. But the history of the people is there, and there must be the strength not to admit defeat in their bones, and it is very difficult to play a big score.

Nanhua is the most successful team in the Heung Kong First Division, with 36 league titles, 28 senior silver medal titles, 8 FA Cup titles, and 8 Governor's Cup titles.

In the early years, only foreign players participated in the Hong Kong First Division, and the first 15 champions were all British and foreigners, and the South China team won the championship in the 1923-1924 season, breaking the monopoly.

If it weren't for the change in foreign aid policy at the beginning of the century, the South China team would not have relied on the all-Chinese class to play, and its performance would not have dropped significantly. There are still three pounds of nails in the rotten ship, and the Nanhua team still has blood, but I am afraid that this game will be stressful.

Kaisa has been struggling for the past few days, if he can't win the league championship, he will lose an easter egg, and the loss will be serious. Easter eggs are the foundation of his life.

The Hong Kong League has not seen the league scorching situation for a long time, and the media has begun to build momentum to analyze the possibility of the two teams winning the championship. Many domestic media have also purchased the broadcast rights and are preparing to broadcast live.

In particular, the media in Guangdong Province also began to build momentum, and they paid attention to the two league championships, as well as the newcomer Kaisa of the Jiezhi team.

Kaisa has only played 4 games, contributed 2 goals, 4 assists, and has been quite eye-catching, and has the capital to compete for the best young player.

As long as Kitchee wins the championship in the end, Kaisa can even win the best young player.

But most people are still optimistic about Dawn, except for the loss to the Jie Zhi team, the Dawn team almost did not make a mistake, and is still in an advantageous position, and the initiative to compete for the championship is firmly in their hands.

In the final round of matches, the Hong Kong FA scheduled the matches of Kitchee and Dawn to be played at the same time, and they were happy to see the fierce competition in the league, which would help to increase their impact.

The Xiangjiang League has been in a state of loss, and they have always wanted to expand their army, absorb more mainland teams to come in, expand their influence, and at least make up for some of the shortfall.

Today's game is a good opportunity to get the word out.

TVB broadcast both games live. Both Kitchee and Nanhua were in the last game, and both sent their strongest lineups.

On the side of the Kitchee team, the goalkeeper position is Xiao Guoji; On the two sides of the back line Kaisa and Saveliic, Lin Jiawei and Zheng Zhaocong partner in the center back, the midfield position is a combination of Bamyo, Feng Jizhi, De Arauyo and Lin Mingyao, and the forward position is still Putrire and Zhang Jianfeng, which is an attacking lineup at first glance.

On the side of the Nanhua team, head coach Huang Wenwei arranged a relatively conservative lineup, with many veterans, hoping to grind the game to death.

The goalkeeper position is Chung Ho-hyun, a 33-year-old veteran; On the back line, Deng Jingxing, Wen Peter, Gu Xilu and Tang Jinkai played together; The midfielders are Yang Zhengguang, Chen Zhikang, Huang Zhenyu and Costa partners, and 3 of the 4 are over 30 years old; In the forward position, Ou Weilun partnered with Ameida, who is also a veteran in his 30s, and I don't know if he can run.

"Come on, guys!" Lin Qinglin clapped his palms, and the players of the Kitchee team entered the field.

Kaisa took a deep breath, today is good, it's not the appearance period of Bug, and he can fight at full health.

In these games, although Kaisa is in the position of right-back, he frequently assists forward, and he is simply half a winger.

The defensive intensity of Xiangjiang Football is very low, the referee scale is relatively loose, and it is easy to play big scores, and there are not many players who defend as desperately as Kaisa.

It is estimated that the territory of Xiangjiang is relatively small, and the players and referees bow their heads and do not look up, and it is offensive to make it big on the playing field, and this kind of thing cannot be done anyway.

With a population of 6 million, it is not easy for such a large football market to appear, it has become an industry, and no one wants to smash their jobs, let alone be a bad guy. Then the level of the league cannot be improved, and the league has a strong taste of entertainment football.

Kaisa is an alternative on the field, very hard in offense and defense, facing Deng Jingxing and Yang Zhengguang, he can't wait to eat each other in one go, and keep rushing to grab the ball.

After several games of investigation, Lin Qinglin concluded that Kaisa was really strong. However, he was still very puzzled, Kaisa seemed to be able to anticipate what would happen on the court, and the biggest manifestation was the fight incident in Pengma Wanderers, "Strange, too strange." ”

Soon, Kaisa created a chance to cut inside and was knocked down to get a set-piece for Kitchee. Unfortunately, the set-piece opportunity was wasted by Zhang Jianfeng and failed to form a threat.

In the 16th minute of the game, the away fans suddenly cheered and enthusiastic.

The mood of the players of the Kitchee team suddenly deteriorated, needless to say, it must have been the Dawn team on the other side that scored.

Lin Shangyi was also quite excited, "The Dawn team on the other side scored, and the Jiezhi team was under pressure. In addition to winning by a big score, they also have to pray for the Dawn team to be equalized. Even if Dawn draws, Kitchee will need to score at least 3 goals to turn it around. ”

"The league title is infinitely closer to Dawn."

Kaisa grabbed the ball and continued to attack, he wanted to win, and after becoming a professional player, he wanted to win even more.

Suddenly, he found that Yang Zhengguang was not quite right, and he was not active in fighting, and it seemed that he was in a bad state. Kaisa seized the opportunity, immediately sprinted to the front, faced Deng Jingxing's block, picked up the ball, and crossed.

Very Cafu's style, Kaisa faced Xiangjiang's players, and most of the situations were very relaxed. He himself has the strength of the youth team, plus 30% of Kafu's ability at his peak, as well as a 3% prediction of improvement, and 4% of his ability to card positions, it is not a problem to go sideways in Xiangjiang.

Zhang Jianfeng made up for it, and the header rushed to the top of the ball, and the Jiezhi team opened the goal account and led the Dawn team 1:0. But now the two teams are still 2 points apart, and unless the Dawn team makes a mistake, there is no chance at all.

At halftime, the championship team and the Dawn team were both leading the score, and if this continued, the team still did not have a championship.

Lin Qinglin is a little lost, the championship thought he ignited is extinguishing, the Dawn team is too stable, if they don't lose, it will be difficult for them to surpass.

"Brothers, no matter how Dawn plays, we have to win first. And you have to win by a big score. Kaisa opened the conversation, "There is still half of the game, football is round, who says we can't reverse and win the championship?" ”

"We're going to score!" Kaisa raised his hand and continued to shout, "We're going to win the championship." ”

It's a bit of a middle two expression, very solemn, as if it's holding a sacred ceremony. Slowly, other teammates began to shout, "Score, win the championship!" ”

The cries grew louder and louder, and the entire locker room vibrate, "Score, win!" ”

"Score, win!"

Lin Qinglin became more and more puzzled, is Kai Sa so sure? Is there a cat? But in any case, he was also infected by the atmosphere, kept shouting, and omitted to arrange tactics, no need to coward, just do it.

As soon as the second half began, the Kitchee team was like a different team, their eyes were red and full of murderous energy, and the intensity of the scramble suddenly rose to the next level.

The Nanhua team was obviously unprepared, and there were frequent mistakes in the backfield, and in less than 5 minutes of the opening game, Kai Sa's set-piece cross assisted central defender Zheng Zhaocong to score with a header.

At 2:0, the Kitchee team extended its lead. While chasing the goal difference, the pressure was maintained on the Dawn team, and in the last half hour, it was up to the two teams to see who could stabilize.

The Dawn team also has a one-goal lead, with a clear advantage.
