Chapter 43: For Victory
The players did not go against Chen Song's decision, and in the second half of the game, Lu Fei and Chen Biao sat on the bench, and they wanted to reduce the possibility of injury and prepare for the next group stage of the AFC Champions League.
Seeing the adjustment of the Quancheng team's lineup, the head coach and players of the Royal Yanjing team showed a smug smile on the corner of their mouths. It was done, the substitution of the Spring City team this time was not only an adjustment to the lineup, they also released a signal, a signal to give up this game.
Even Chen Biao, the core of the defense, has been replaced, isn't the Quancheng team just going to give up this game?
It seems that the Quancheng team also has a time to admit it, and the head coach of the Royal Yanjing team is in control of the victory at the moment, and his expression is very happy and proud. In his opinion, the Spring City team is too self-conscious, and giving up the Chinese League for the illusory AFC Champions League is definitely the most wrong decision of the Spring City team this season, and they will definitely find that they have achieved nothing this season at the end of the season.
On the contrary, the Royal Yanjing team is very smart. Their goal was clear from the start, or since they lost the Royal Cup. They just want the championship of the Chinese League, as for the AFC Champions League, there is not much difference between fighting and not fighting, and they don't have their share anyway.
With a slightly relaxed expression, the players of the Royal Yanjing team returned to the playing field. Despite playing away from home, they didn't feel any pressure. I believe that any team may not feel the pressure at this time, the fighting spirit of the Quancheng team has been lost, they don't care about this game themselves, what pressure can the Royal Yanjing team have?
The second half was soon underway. Before going on the field, Chen Song specially reminded Lin Qi a few words, mainly telling Lin Qi to protect himself.
Although Chen Song felt that after replacing Chen Biao and Lu Fei, the Royal Yanjing team should not continue to play in the first half, but there is nothing wrong with being careful. If you want to say that the player who can't afford to hurt the Quancheng team the most, it is not Lu Fei or Chen Biao, but Lin Qi!
Lin Qi is currently the most important player for the Quancheng team, as long as he is on the field, the Quancheng team can have more hope, even this game is no exception. Did Springs really give up the game? Not necessarily, Springs fans don't think so. Because the people replaced by the Quancheng team were Lu Fei and Chen Biao. And not Lin Qi.
Only when the Quancheng team replaces Lin Qi can it be shown that they have really given up the game! And as long as Lin Qi is still on the field, the Quancheng team will not necessarily lose......
With a whistle from the referee, the second half began. The Royal Yanjing team really didn't continue to play that roughly. Their purpose has been achieved. There's no need to be so rude anymore.
The second half of the game finally stopped feeling like a wrestling match, and the attacks of both teams also gave the game some excitement.
"The first half was a bit more hot, and after the half-time adjustments. The mood of both teams was relatively stable, and the game was back on track. The commentator at the scene breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried about watching the first half of the game, and he was worried all the time that the players of the Spring City team would be injured.
Fortunately, the Royal Yanjing team has relented after receiving two yellow cards, otherwise even if the Spring City team wins this game, it will be a heavy victory.
Comparatively speaking, it is safer to give up this game, Chen Song's decision is correct!
Even the commentators at the scene thought so, and the rest of the fans would not have other ideas, only the most loyal Springs fans believed that Springs still had a chance to win the game.
However, as the game progresses, this possibility becomes less and less. In the second half of the game, the Royal Yanjing team performed exceptionally well, without Lu Fei's constant interference in the front court, and without Chen Biao sitting in the backline, the Royal Yanjing team was not afraid of the Quancheng team at all, and they even pressed on it and launched a wave of fierce bombardment on the goal of the Quancheng team.
In the 22nd minute of the second half, the attack of the Royal Yanjing team paid off. In the midst of a wave of chaos, the midfielder of the Royal Yanjing team stretched out his foot and stabbed the ball into the goal of the Spring City team.
The Springs goalkeeper was helpless about the ball.
1:0! Royal Yanjing took the lead away!
The expression of the head coach of the Royal Yanjing team was even more proud, and this was the result he wanted. Springs are a formidable opponent to be able to take a 1-0 lead at their home turf, which is enough for him to be satisfied.
The players of the Royal Yanjing team celebrated the goal excitedly, and this goal did not come easily. Don't look at the goal as a momentary thing, the Royal Yanjing team has been preparing for this goal strategy for a long time, and even their rough style of play in the first half is also preparing for this goal.
So the players of the Royal Yanjing team are very excited, but they are definitely not the most excited, the most excited is Zhu Shaofei who is sitting on the bench!
Zhu Shaofei only played less than 30 minutes in this game, and he didn't have any performance during those 30 minutes, and his aggrieved mood can be imagined.
However, this goal made all his previous grievances disappear. The Royal Yanjing team scored, the Royal Yanjing team took the lead, this is what he said before the game, even if the Quancheng team has Lin Qi, it is not necessarily the opponent of their Royal Yanjing team!
What can Lin Qi do on the field, it's not the same as him, he failed to score. As a striker, there is only one criterion for whether the performance is good or not, and that is to see if there is a goal. As long as Lin Qi doesn't score, even if he is active in this game, he is similar to Zhu Shaofei who was replaced in advance.
This is enough for Zhu Shaofei to be happy, although Zhu Shaofei also knows in his heart that he is not as good as Lin Qi, but who wants to lose to the other party so obviously? Or is Lin Qi not performing better......
After taking the lead, the Royal Yanjing team did not rush to attack, they never thought of winning over the Quancheng team by a big score in this game, all they wanted was a 1:0.
As long as you can get three points away from home, there is no difference between a 1:0 score and a 2:0 scoreline.
So at this time, the Royal Yanjing team took the safest way: defense and delay! The tactic of delaying time is also disgraceful, but the Royal Yanjing team has done even more disgraceful things, and they are not afraid of delaying time again.
It's all about winning this game!
It has to be said that the desire for victory for the Royal Yanjing team reached an almost distorted level after losing the Royal Cup......
Because Huaxia football is relatively weak, the players and fans of Huaxia are more united, and the Huajia field is relatively harmonious. This is not a common practice for the Royal Yanjing team in the Chinese League, and fans are still more happy to see the exciting attack of Quancheng and Shanghai Shencheng.
However, for the sake of the championship, even if it is only the champion of the Chinese League, the Royal Yanjing team can't care so much, their status as a giant does not allow them to get nothing this season! (To be continued......)
