Knowing that one more win for Flash Stars would ensure early promotion, in the 32nd round of the league, Flash Stars' away game against Tangdu Kowloon became the game that Flash Star fans paid the most attention to, even more so than

The second FA Cup final.

The Flash Star Club is also making preparations for the upgrade. For example, they have contacted several fan organizations. When the time comes, the Flash Star Club will pay to sponsor them to travel with the team to away games to build momentum.

Flash Star fans also enthusiastically signed up to participate. Although this is an away game, the fans still hope to witness history at the scene for the first time.

Even if the opponent is a team aiming to avoid relegation, Flash Star fans still have expectations for their team...

In other words, Anton’s fans really can’t wait.

That was the historical moment when Anton Football returned to China's top league, and everyone hoped to be there at that time.

However, the objects of club sponsorship are limited. Some Stars fans simply take the train to watch the away game in advance. They find ways to buy the tickets online and book the tickets and hotels by themselves without the club paying a penny.

In order to watch the game, many fans have asked for leave from their workplace, or even resigned.

Just to be a witness to history.

The matter of quitting one's job to watch football was even trending on Weibo's local topic list, attracting several local media to report on it.

At this time, many people discovered that the people of Jincheng were still enthusiastic about watching football, just like they were more than 20 years ago.

So Andong Jincheng is not a football desert, everyone just buries their passion for football deep underground.

When heavy rain fell on this desert, countless seeds sprouted and turned the desert into an oasis in a very short period of time. Only then did everyone realize that there was only one rain missing.

Yes, in fact, from desert to oasis, all it takes is one rain...

But just like this rain, how many years have Anton fans and Jincheng fans waited for?

A full twenty years.

As the saying goes, there are four great joys in life: sweet rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, a night of flowers and candles in the wedding room, and the inscription on the gold medal list.

Long drought and good rains rank first.

Anton, the football desert of Jincheng has been dry for twenty years, and finally it rains. How can Anton fans, Jincheng fans be unhappy, excited, or crazy?

What's the point of resigning just to watch a team promotion battle?

It’s hard to find a job anymore, but how many years can we see a historical moment like Anton Football returning to China’s top league?

So when Shining Star went to play away games, they were accompanied by countless Anton fans. They first gathered from their respective cities to Jincheng, and then headed north to leave the province.

There are old fans who have experienced the craziest and most glorious moments of Anton football, as well as new generation fans who grew up with Flashing Star.

If someone wears Xingcheng's jersey from that year to cheer for the Stars, it won't cause any controversy. All he gets is applause and a thumbs up.

When these people poured into the West Palace Stadium, the home ground of Tangdu Kowloon, they shocked the Tangdu Kowloon fans who were planning to give Flash Star a showdown at home - for the sake of relegation, Tangdu Kowloon's home stadium in this game

Fans have come in large numbers, and they thought they would turn the stadium into a hell for the visiting team.

Who would have thought that once a large number of Flash Star fans came in, the momentum they created would be on par with them... no, even slightly better than them.

During the warm-up, Chen Xingyi saw that almost half of the stadium was occupied by Flash Star fans wearing red jerseys. He couldn't help but sigh: "We in Tangdu are also a traditional football city... but we were completely defeated in terms of momentum.

For Anton fans."

Qin Lin said from the side: "At least you have a top league team in Nanhe Province, but the entire Andong Province has not had a top league team for twenty years."

"That's right, it's like a strong man who hasn't touched a woman for twenty years!" Hu Lai said.

Zhang Qinghuan shouted: "I'm going, there's a picture!"

"Okay, okay, warm up quickly, don't be too nervous and hurt yourself!" Captain Li Tielin shouted from behind.

Everyone stepped onto the football field.

When the players returned to the locker room after warming up, Zhao Kangming asked them: "Have you seen those fans outside?"

After receiving a positive answer, he asked again: "What do you think?"

"Spectacular!" Hu Lai was the first to raise his hand and said. "I thought this was our home court!"

Zhao Kangming smiled: "This is our home court. It is our honor to have so many fans here to cheer us on. But it is also our responsibility and will also bring pressure to us. I hope you will fight for these fans.

, but I don’t want you to be overwhelmed by responsibilities. It sounds contradictory, right? But it’s actually very simple. Just think about the next FA Cup final. This game should be a preview of that game.

Don’t we have no pressure when playing in the FA Cup final and don’t we need to take responsibility? Haven’t we been preparing for that game for the past half month? In this game, Tangdu Jiulong will definitely create things for us in order to avoid relegation.

It’s a lot of trouble, so that’s the best thing, but I’m worried that our opponent won’t resist and we won’t be able to adjust our state.”

After the league match against Tangdu Kowloon, the second leg of the FA Cup final was immediately followed.

That was a game that many people thought they had given up on and should have given up on.

But only the Flash Star players themselves know that their score with Golden Arrow has not yet been settled.

When thinking about the FA Cup final, the expressions on the faces of the Shining Star players became serious.

Zhao Kangming felt that this was the right state, so he waved his hand and said in a very calm tone: "Go, let's compete."

※※※

When players from both teams took the field, the air above Nishinomiya Stadium was filled with cheers in Andong dialect.

All kinds of "rising" overwhelmed the shouts of local fans.

It's just like what Zhao Kangming said, this is the home court of Flashing Star.

Tangdu Jiulong will be relegated, and Flash Star will be upgraded.

The fates of the two teams collided.

It is said that teams that are relegated are not easy to play, but today Flash Star wants everyone to know that teams that are promoted are not easy to play either!

At the beginning of the game, there was no testing or adaptation. Flashing Star did not let Tangdu Jiulong slowly find the feeling of the game. As soon as it started, it launched the fiercest offensive towards Tangdu Jiulong's goal.

Hu Lai, Zhang Qinghuan, and Chen Xingyi took turns attacking in the frontcourt, making Tangdu Jiulong unable to lift its head.

Fifteen minutes into the game, the home team didn't even have a shot on goal.

The Tangdu Kowloon fans in the stands were also silenced by the fans of the visiting team Flash Stars.

Every time the Stars attack, they will win loud applause from the fans in the stands, and every time they take a shot, they will win applause.

The commentator on Nanhe TV couldn't help but sigh: "Whose home field is this?"

Under this high-intensity attack, Flash Star finally broke the deadlock in the 20th minute.

Zhang Qinghuan used a long arcing shot from outside the penalty area, which blasted the Tangdu Jiulong goal, giving Flash Star the lead.

"Zhang Qinghuan!! Beautiful!" the commentator of Anton TV was very excited, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

He was quite worried before, but the more critical moments came to this, the more nervous he became. Man, when he realized that he was living in a historical moment, how could he not think too much?

He was afraid that the Flash Star players would perform abnormally due to excessive pressure - this kind of thing is not without precedent in history. There are many similar things in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, and they are countless.

Although after the game started, Flash Star's performance made the commentator feel that the players should have withstood the pressure.

But if the goal is delayed, the situation will be difficult to predict.

As time goes by, Flash Star's fierce offensive will lead to a void in the backcourt. If Tangdu Jiulong seizes the opportunity to counterattack and score a goal, the situation will be reversed.

fine……

Now looking at the Stars players celebrating, the commentator of Anton TV let out a sigh of relief.

※※※

Although they took the lead, Flash Star did not slow down.

They continued to attack fiercely without worrying about the goal behind them.

This kind of onslaught made Tangdu Jiulong particularly difficult to adapt to. Although they also challenged the Flash Stars on the road in the first half of the season and lost 0:3 in the end. But at that time, the Flash Stars playing at home did not give them such a sense of oppression.

.

Now when they faced Flashing Star, they felt like they were facing a group of tigers descending from the mountain, howling and trying to tear them all into pieces.

In fact, this is not an illusion of the Tangdu Kowloon players.

Since losing in the first round of the Football Association final, Zhao Kangming has been training the Flash Stars' offense.

Because the Stars, who are two goals behind in the total score, want to really achieve a comeback, offense is very important.

In the second round of the final, Shining Star couldn't hold on any longer, they had to attack.

So how to ensure that when attacking, the defense line will not be sieved by the opponent?

Zhao Kangming's countermeasure is to use a more violent offensive to push back the opponent's attack.

This is how the team practices during training, and when it comes to the game, he requires the team to use the results they have practiced during training.

Therefore, in these three league games, Flash Star's offensive was very fierce.

In the away game against Nanhai team, Nanhai team was completely overwhelmed by their offensive. Although Nanhai team also scored a goal, Flash Star scored three goals, and finally defeated the opponent 3:1, taking all three points in the away game in second place in the league.

The same goes for playing Capital Athletic at home, sweeping the opponent with four goals and fully displaying the offensive firepower of the Stars.

Up to this game, Flash Stars, who scored the first goal, still did not stop their offensive rhythm. This high-intensity offense made it difficult for Chinese League One teams including Tangdu Jiulong to adapt.
