Chapter 179: A Crazy Start!
Three days later, the first leg of the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League officially began. The first leg of the match between Springs and Al Ain still dominated the home field, which is also a privilege of the underdogs, that is, they can play at home first.
However, for the Spring City team, playing at home first is not necessarily a good thing, and the quarter-final against the Etihad team is the best proof of this!
Spring City team in the home side of the two goals in a row, the second leg under a very huge pressure, and the lack of experience in the AFC Champions League made a fatal mistake in the process of preparation, if Lin Qi did not step up in time, I am afraid that now advanced to the quarterfinals is the Etihad from Saudi Arabia.
This time, the Springs team didn't want to face that tough situation again. They are determined to win this game, and every Spring City player is full of fighting spirit as they will be looking to establish a strong advantage in the first leg of their home clash against Al Ain!
At the same time, the Spring City team has already sent special staff to inspect the home stadium of the Al Ain team, which is to prepare for the second leg of the away competition.
At seven o'clock in the afternoon of October 2nd, the first match between the Springs team and the Al Ain team was in full swing. The Springs have been informed early on that they know that the Al Ain head coach did not field any outside players for this game.
This really surprised the Quancheng team. You must know that for the Al Ain team, foreign players are their backbone, and other domestic players can only be regarded as serving foreign players at best. The role they can play is small, small.
The Springs team didn't know what Team Al Ain meant, and they wouldn't have thought that the reason why Team Al Ain did it was all because of the rich and capricious nature of their tyrant boss.
The first thing the Springs players felt was a sense of humiliation, and they felt that they had been slighted by Al Ain. In the AFC Champions League, the Spring City team has faced too many such situations, as if they are a team that can be kneaded by everyone, and will always be despised by the opponent, intentionally or unintentionally.
Far from making the Springs players happy, this disdain made them feel very uncomfortable. Is our Quancheng team so weak that you won't fight with all your might? Isn't our Quancheng team really not worthy of your seriousness?
What the Springs players don't know is that the head coach of Al Ain takes them very seriously. If you want to blame, you can only blame their boss for being too rich and capricious......
In the face of such insulting behavior of the opponent. The players of the Spring City team are full of righteous indignation, they are bound to give their opponents a good look in this game, and it is best to decide the winner directly in one round, so that the second round of away games will lose all suspense!
That's what the Springs players think. That's how it works. They started from the very beginning of the game. Like a tiger out of the cage, he launched a fierce attack on the goal of the Al Ain team.
Facing the missing Al Ain team, the Springs team completely dominated the field. They overpowered Al Ain in all corners and fought a positional battle in the opponent's half.
A close AFC Champions League quarterfinals, because of the opponent's boss's small willfulness, turned into a half-court offensive and defensive battle.
The attacking team is the Spring City team playing at home, and the defending team is the Al Ain team playing away!
Looking at this situation on the field, the head coach of the Al Ain team stood on the sidelines with a cold and serious expression. His heart was very nervous, he didn't expect the Quancheng team's offensive to be so fierce!
Although he had expected before the game that Al Ain would be at a disadvantage in the game without foreign players, he did not expect the disadvantage to be so big.
"I don't know if the players can withstand such a fierce attack from the Spring City team...... "He stood anxiously on the sidelines, not at all sure about the outcome of this game.
If the current situation continues, then the Al Ain team will not be able to force the Spring City team to equalize, and it will be thankful that the opponent will not be poured three goals.
Before the game, he thought that he could force the Spring City team with this incomplete formation, but it turned out that all this was his whim......
At this moment, he suddenly had some regrets, regretting that he had followed the advice of the club owner, he should try to explain it to his boss, although the ending after the explanation may not be too good, but if Al Ain is eliminated by the Spring City team, then his ending will be even more unpleasant.
When the time comes, the owner of the Al Ain team will never admit that it was his own suggestion that caused the team to be eliminated, and he will blame all the mistakes on the head coach of the Al Ain team.
Thinking of this, the head coach from the United Arab Emirates suddenly shuddered, and then he heard the cheers of the Spring City fans in the stadium.
He quickly retracted his thoughts and looked at the backfield of the Al Ain team. What he ended up seeing was a soccer ball rolling inside his goal......
The ball is in! Springs' goal was scored by Al Ain less than ten minutes into the game! The goal was scored by Luo Ming, who started the game!
"The ball is in!!!!!! The ball is in!! Less than ten minutes into the game, Springs took the lead, and in the face of their powerful attack, Al Ain's defense was like paper! Huaxia's commentator looked up to the sky and roared, and he didn't mind taunting the Al Ain team at this time.
The lineup sent by Al Ain today itself carries a strong contempt for the Quancheng team, which not only makes the players of the Quancheng team unhappy, but also the fans of Huaxia.
Seeing the Springs team take the lead so early, the fans danced happily, and both the fans in front of the stadium and the fans in front of the TV waved their arms excitedly and let out earth-shattering cheers.
They're cool, they're just cool from the top of their heads to their toes.
Contempt, huh? Crippled lineup, huh? Don't send foreign players, huh?
Your Al Ain team is really good enough to dare to be so light in such an important game. In the face of this kind of unknown opponent, the Quancheng team should be ruthless!
Yes, just it!
The fans screamed and gave vent their frustration to Al Ain with their cheers.
While the fans of the Spring City team cheered, the fans of the United Arab Emirates were already angry and scolded their mothers, and they greeted all the eighteenth generations of the ancestors of the head coach of the Al Ain team.
The Springs fans were unhappy because of Al Ain's underdogs, while the UAE fans were even more unhappy because of their underdogs.
What kind of competition is this? This is the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League, and in such a fierce and important game, how can you send such a broken squad.
This kind of line-up without a single foreign player has never been used in Al Ain, even in the domestic league.
What carelessness this is, how much to look down on the Quancheng team, to do such a thing that is so angry with God!
The Al Ain fans were already in a frenzy, and when they came to the stadium with less than one-twentieth of the Springs fans, they could be heard in the sky above the Springs stadium.
The head coach of Al Ain was so heavy that he would like to replace the three core foreign players on the bench right now. But reason kept him from doing so, and if he did, he would undoubtedly be slapping the boss of their Al Ain team in the face.
At this time, he would rather carry the black pot himself than dare to work against their boss.
And the game has only started for ten minutes, if all three substitutions are used up at this time, then there will be no need to play in the following games, even if all three foreign players are replaced, the Al Ain team will not be able to make achievements in this game.
He can only hold on, he can only hold on hard at this time, and at the same time he also hopes that his players on the field can hold on hard and not let the Springs team seize the opportunity to score.
Less than 10 minutes later, however, the ball rolled into the Al Ain goal for the second time......
This time it was Lin Qi who scored the goal! Lin Qi's Barty GOAL broke through the ten fingers of the Al Ain goalkeeper with ease and pleasure.
Match 2:0! Less than twenty minutes into the game, Springs had already taken a two-goal lead!
The stadium of the Spring City team was completely in a frenzy, both the Spring City fans and the Al Ain fans were crazy.
The fans of the Spring City team are crazy with excitement, and it is the first time they have seen such a strong performance in the AFC Champions League. As for the fans of the Al Ain team, they are furious, if they can touch the head coach of the Al Ain team with their hands, they will definitely tear him apart without hesitation.
This is too Nima is not a thing, even if it is a fake ~ ball, there is no such way of playing. Are you the head coach of Al Ain? How much hatred do you have with Al Ain, to play with Al Ain like this, to play with Al Ain fans like this?
The fans of the Al Ain team shouted and cursed that they had acted as a football hooligan at the home stadium of the Spring City team, and they were not targeting the opponent Spring City team, but the team they supported - Al Ain! (To be continued......)
