On August 10th, the second half of the season began.

The Lions have adjusted in the summer, although they are still affected by some injuries, but Li Ming still found a replacement in this month's time.

Central defender Lin Chen and left winger Liu Jin came in as new members of the Lions.

The last time the two sides met was in Wuhan, and the Lions were forced to do so badly. This time against Wuhan Tuanbo New Town at home, the Lions played well and easily defeated the opponent 2-0. Guan Xiaolong scored a goal.

Next, two consecutive away games went to Hainan and Guizhou, and the Lions lost in a row, drawing 1-1 away to Hainan and losing to Guizhou 0-1. Guan Xiaolong's performance in the two games was remarkable, but the overall state of the team was not good. There is a certain relationship between consecutive away fixtures in the short term, and almost all teams fluctuate in results during this period.

Unfortunately, the main striker Ding Li seriously sprained his ankle in the game, and it is expected to be basically reimbursed this season. Left-back Van Dahai bursitis and could not hold on to the rest of the game.

Fortunately, Wang Jinheng has basically recovered, and he can participate in the competition after a little recovery.

Li Ming replaced Fan Dahai with Li Ke and Ding Li with Sun Zhidong. At present, except for goalkeeper Liu Shuang and defender Lin Xiao, all the rest are the original Lions substitute or reserve lineup. The Lions led by Li Ming were also ridiculed by the outside world, saying that they were bringing a group of child soldiers to the front line.

Back at home against Zhejiang Construction, the Lions adopted conservative tactics and drew 0-0 at home.

The team's recent sluggish performance, especially the choice of conservative tactics at home, has made Li Ming's coaching ability unanimously doubted by the outside media and fans. The only good thing is that the Lions are still in fourth place and theoretically have a chance to make it to the South Division.

Next, the home team met the challenge of Hunan Xiangtao, and the Lions rebounded and defeated the strong opponent 1-0. Xiang Tao is firmly in the top spot, so this victory is extremely crucial for the Lions. If you lose, you may be caught up by the team behind you. With such a strong match, the Lions can't afford to lose.

The Xiangtao team has also been affected by the mid-season schedule to a certain extent, and there have been injuries in the team. However, they are better than the Lions, who have a thin lineup and can't stand the toss.

Guan Xiaolong still performed well in this game, and an attack instigated by him, Xue Hang scored the ball.

In the past four rounds, Guan Xiaolong has not swiped a single data, and every game is to punch in and leave, and I feel that people are going to suffocate.

A month has passed, Wang Jinheng has returned to the team, and Liu Jin has temporarily replaced Fan Dahai's position.

Away to the third-place CD Buffaloes, the Lions chased two goals in a row after conceding one goal first, defeated the opponent 2-1, and got the crucial three points in the battle for points. Guan Xiaolong scored the equalizing goal.

However, the momentum that had just begun to improve came to an abrupt end in the next two rounds, with the Lions losing to Zhanjiang Tiandi and Guangzhou Green Spring in succession.

Green Springs is working hard against the Lions this time, and the Lions failed to withstand the opponent's bombardment even at home, losing 0-2.

Fortunately, in the next game, Guan Xiaolong made a might, and won two yuan alone, defeating Ningbo Huaao United at home.

After this game, the Lions overtook the CD Buffaloes, who have not been in good form recently, and moved up to third place.

In the final round of the away game against Wenzhou, the Lions can enter the knockout round as long as they draw and finish third in the South Zone. Li Ming has done his homework in this game, because the best plan he can choose at the moment is to keep the third place, so that the opponent in the first round of the knockout round will be Hunan Xiangtao, who is ranked second. If they fall to fourth, the Lions will face Midori Fountain at the top of the table, which is definitely not the result the Lions want.

There will be a battle with Green Spring, but not in the first round.

Wenzhou are two points behind the Buffaloes, and if they win in the final round and the Buffaloes lose at the same time, then they could finish fourth in the South Division. Although the initiative is not in their hands, the Wenzhou team is also fighting in the last round.

The Lions were attacked by the Wenzhou team frantically on the road, and they fell behind 0-1 at one point.

However, at the critical moment, Guan Xiaolong equalized with a free kick. The two sides battled for 90 minutes and finally drew 1-1.

The Lions got one point, while Wenzhou finished fifth with four points. CD Buffalo defeated Hainan in the final round and ranked fourth. Guangzhou Green Spring and Hunan Xiangtao ranked first and second.

The moment the referee blew the final whistle, the players of the Lions and Wenzhou teams collapsed to the ground. Of course, the Wenzhou team was disappointed and difficult to accept. And the Lions, at least Guan Xiaolong, felt like they were relieved.

Please don't laugh at Guan Xiaolong, he said that he has never played a full season. After this season, I also participated in the selection of the national youth team, after all, I have to be the team's offensive responsibility and appearance responsibility in the game, and I am tired of.

Hey, hey, Sister Ada, come, let's have an in-depth exchange.

Guan Xiaolong returned to the hotel and opened his personal information. Originally, Guan Xiaolong was still very tired, and he thought that he was going to sum up the results, so he came up with interest.

Well, it's 3070/4000 now. Alas, there are about 1000 experience points left until the upgrade, and it will take at least six games to complete. The next two home and away games against the Xiangtao team, if they advance, will be the finals of the southern region, and it is very likely to play Guangzhou Green Spring.

If you are lucky enough to advance, there will be only one final against the champion of the North Division.

I was planning to level up before this, and then get one more skill, maybe I can help the Lions win a championship. And maybe after winning the championship, Sister Ada will have a reward here, and then hehehe......

Hey Mao, it's all in vain now...... How hard is this game? Guan Xiaolong looked helpless.

******

Due to the ranking, in the first round of elimination, the third-place Lions team will be home and away. After half a month of repair, the Lions defeated Hunan Xiangtao 1-0 at home and took the initiative to advance.

In this game, Guan Xiaolong was outflanked in front of the goal, and he received the pass from his friend Xue Hang to break the goal.

The Xiangtao team originally wanted to take a conservative stance away from home and take away the draw. However, a small loss by one goal away from home is not an irreversible form for Xiangtao, and it only takes a 2-0 to eliminate the opponent when he returns to the home field.

However, the Xiangtao team failed to turn the tables at home, although they arranged heavy troops to defend Guan Xiaolong, but Wang Jinheng, who had just returned from injury, broke the deadlock with a long-range shot. With Li Ming in a solid defense, he boldly attacked with the Xiangtao team in the midfield. Although the final score was still 1-0, the two sides presented the audience with a wide open and closed offensive battle.

The referee's final whistle blew and the General Stadium was silent, with only the Lions players celebrating wildly.
