Chapter 2: Elimination or Promotion

After falling behind, the Nanhe team was clearly unwilling to accept the defeat, and they made a series of personnel changes, replacing a defensive midfielder and a defender, and replacing an attacking midfielder and a striker in an attempt to salvage the defeat.

After taking the lead, the Peninsula team returned to defend all the lines, leaving only Jin Dapeng alone in the forward line, and the formation of the Peninsula team also changed from the previous 451 to the 901 formation.

The Nanhe team obviously did not have a good way to defend intensively, and there was a fierce attack around the Peninsula team's penalty area but no goal was scored, but the Peninsula team's counterattack played soundly and brilliantly, threatening the Nanhe team's goal many times.

In the 40th minute of the second half, Jin Dapeng received a long pass from his goalkeeper Feng Bu, and Jin Dapeng, who saw the huge gap behind the defenders of the Nanhe team, lightly took the ball forward, and then forced the central defender who came forward with the advantage of speed.

The other Nanhe defenders immediately ran up to make up for the defense, Jin Dapeng ignored them, and kept rushing forward with the ball at full speed, letting the defenders chase desperately behind, the defenders of the Nanhe team were obviously worried about being red carded for fouls, and did not take dangerous tackles.

Seeing that the goalkeeper of the Nanhe team was not in a good situation, Jin Dapeng saw that the goalkeeper was already very close to him, so he did not choose to hit the goal directly, but stepped on a bicycle, easily shook off the goalkeeper, and hit the near corner from a small angle on one side. The whole game immediately fell into a boil, unlike before, the opponents we won before were all Chinese League A teams, and this time it was a Chinese Super League team, and more importantly, Ju Dapeng scored a hat trick in this game.

With less than 10 minutes to go before the end of the game, the 3:1 score had basically killed the game, but the players of the South River team did not want to give up because there was still a second leg between the two sides, and if the South River team could score another goal, the result would be completely different.

For the two-legged match and counting the away goals, the scores of 3:1 and 3:2 in the first leg are completely different things, so for the rest of the game, the South River team still attacked stubbornly.

However, they are also afraid of the Peninsula's counterattack, and the number of personnel involved in the attack is limited, and most of the time they rely on long-range shots to threaten the Peninsula's goal. The Peninsula team, which led by two goals, played unhurriedly and defused the attacks of the Nanhe team many times.

In the end, Peninsula defeated the Nanhe team 3-1 at home with a hat-trick from Kim Dapeng, and Kim Dapeng was indisputably named the best of the match.

In the post-match press conference, the head coach of the South River team was obviously very dissatisfied with the result of the game, and in the face of questions from the media, he stressed that this was only the first leg of the game, and returning to the home court of the South River team would definitely turn the tables.

However, the head coach of the Peninsula team, Sandwich, was very calm and simply praised his players, but this seemingly calm words concealed high expectations for the future.

After this game, the Peninsula team received some media attention, most of the content was dominated by upsets, although they have achieved certain results in the Chinese League, but due to the low attention of the Chinese League, they are not well known by most fans, but this defeat of the Chinese Super League team with a certain strength still won them a lot of attention.

The media and fans have very different opinions on which team can advance to the final, many people think that the Peninsula team who won the first leg is more likely to advance, but there are also many people who believe that the Nanhe team can turn the tables, after all, they are a Chinese Super League team and the opponent is only a Chinese League A team.

Between the two legs, the Peninsula team has a game to mention, which has no meaning for the Peninsula team that has already surpassed the success, so they sent a substitute lineup to play, and the Nanhe team also has a Super League to play, but because the Nanhe team still has the hope of entering the top three in the Super League and then winning the AFC Champions League and even the Super League championship, this makes the Nanhe team tangled.

You can't have both fish and bear's paws, this truth is very clear to the Nanhe team, but whether to give up the FA Cup to protect the Super League or give up the Super League to prepare for the FA Cup, not only the outside world wants to know, but there is also a certain amount of controversy within the Nanhe team.

In the subsequent Chinese Super League match, the Nanhe team sent almost all the main players to play, in the words of the head coach of the Nanhe team, football games should be played one by one, and the league and cup matches are equally important.

This is good news for the Peninsula team, and the physical fitness of the Nanhe team, which is fighting on two fronts, will definitely be affected to a certain extent.

The second leg of the match between the two sides was played at the home of the South River side as scheduled, and in the pre-match press conference, the home coach made it clear that their goal was to get a win and reach the final of the FA Cup.

The Peninsula team still discharged the usual 451 formation, while the Nanhe team discharged the 343 attack formation, and the 343 formation also indicated that the Nanhe team had to make a final fight.

At the beginning of the game, the Nanhe team launched a fierce attack on the Peninsula team with the help of home advantage, and the Peninsula team was in constant danger in front of the goal.

In the 20th minute, the Nanhe team won a corner kick on the left side of the penalty area, and after the ball was thrown into the penalty area, No. 10 Nikolai jumped high, grabbed the defender and shook his head to attack the goal, the ball flew into the right corner, and the goalkeeper of the Peninsula team Feng Bu could not do anything.

1:0! The South River team sees hope of a comeback, and if they can get a 2-0 scoreline, the South River team will rely on the advantage of more away goals to reach the FA Cup final.

The Peninsula team, who had scored a goal, woke up from a dream, and in the constant roar of Sandwich, the Peninsula players gradually found the feeling of the game.

They gradually started to organise their attacks, and the situation was much better than at the beginning, and the Al Jazeera, who were still leading the overall score, still had a mental advantage, and they were not in too much of a hurry.

Seeing the hope of a comeback, the Nanhe team and the peninsula that had just woken up from a dream both boldly invested their troops to attack, and the rhythm of attack and defense on the field changed very quickly.

As the single arrow of the Peninsula team, Jin Dapeng is shouldering the heavy responsibility of destroying the city at the moment, if he can score a goal, the Nanhe team must score another 3 goals if they want to advance directly, but the Nanhe team with the first round was taught three goals to strengthen the defense of Ju Dapeng, they specially arranged a central defender to do close defense against Ju Dapeng, and the rest of the defenders came to make up for it at any time.

However, as a good coach, Sandwich clearly knows how to deal with this situation, and he constantly gesticulates to the players on the field off the field, which outsiders can't understand, but the Al Jazeera players understand.

Nanhe's No. 10 Nikola's shot was blocked by Peninsula defender Rovana, and Peninsula midfielder Lei Jiasi ran the ball along the right sideline to the bottom line, and Jin Dapeng outflanked the Nanhe team penalty area in the middle, and the Nanhe defender followed closely around Jin Dapeng.

Near the bottom line, Lei Jiasi passed the ball into the penalty area in a dress, and the Nanhe defenders saw the flying tackle, and Lei Jiasi easily buckled and avoided the block.
