host must win

Chapter 309
After the match against Arsenal, Yin Jun did not return to Manchester with the team, but went directly to Heathrow International Airport, preparing to take a direct flight from London to Xiangjiang at night.

At the airport, Yin Jun met Sun Jihai and Li Tie who had arrived earlier, and the three of them went to check in and board the plane together.

Everything went very smoothly, and the Cathay Pacific flight the three of them took took off smoothly in the night, straight into the clouds.

After the plane entered a stable flight stage, Yin Jun asked the stewardess for three drinks, and handed each to Sun Jihai and Li Tie.However, without anyone knowing, Yin Jun added some material to it, which is the special hypnotic drug exchanged from the system.

After the three of them drank it, they chatted for less than 5 minutes before the effect of the medicine took effect, and they fell asleep one after another.

When Yin Jun woke up, it was already the next morning, and the sun could already be seen from the porthole of the plane.According to what Yin Jun asked the stewardess, the plane will land in less than two hours.

Not long after Yin Jun woke up, Sun Jihai and Li Tie also woke up one after another.After resting for a full eight hours, both of them were in very good spirits.It's just that they were a little surprised that they rested so well on the plane.

After Xiangjiang joined the national team that had already arrived, Yin Jun and the three also checked into the hotel where the national team stayed.

After a day of training, it's game day.

………………

Siu Sai Wan Stadium.

Because the Xiangjiang Stadium is holding the annual rugby sevens match, the World Cup qualifier between the Chinese team and the Xiangjiang team was changed to the Siu Sai Wan Stadium.

Compared to the Xiangjiang Stadium which can accommodate 40,000 people, the Siu Sai Wan Stadium can accommodate 2000 people, which is really too little for such a focus match.

Because Yin Jun will play in this game, many Xiangjiang fans are rushing to buy tickets.As early as a week ago, the tickets had been sold out.

This is also the first time that the Siu Sai Wan Stadium is full. It is not bad to have a [-]% attendance here.

As the first Chinese to win the European Ballon d'Or, Yin Jun has extraordinary significance to Xiangjiang fans.

In this game, many Xiangjiang celebrities and stars will come to watch the game, such as the famous Andy Lau, as well as Fa Ge, Long Ge and others will come to Siu Sai Wan Stadium.

While the players from both sides were still waiting to play in the player channel, the live broadcast was introducing the list of players from both sides.When every player's name is read, there will be huge cheers on the scene.

And when the DJ at the scene read Yin Jun's name, the Siu Sai Wan stadium was even more cheered.It's hard to believe that this is the away game of the Chinese team.

………………

In the first half of the game, the Xiangjiang team kicked off the ball first. After the opening, the Chinese team launched an active press in the midfield. This made the Xiangjiang team's offensive end quickly and did not pose any threat to the Chinese team's goal.

However, judging from the expressions on the faces of the players and coaches of the Xiangjiang team, they obviously don't have too many expressions of regret.

Of course, Li Xinxiang, the head coach of the Xiangjiang team, could not tell them that "it doesn't matter whether they win this game or not", but the players of the Xiangjiang team also know that with their strength, the possibility of defeating the Chinese team is extremely small.

In history, the two sides have played against each other quite a lot, a total of 21 times, but the Xiangjiang team only achieved a poor 1 win, and that was in the World Cup qualifiers 19 years ago, when the Chinese team lost 1:2 at home opponent.

But it was this defeat that made the Chinese team heartbroken and lost the chance to advance.

In that game, Yin Jun was still in his infancy, but now he is the core of the Chinese team.

In the ensuing 19 years, the Xiangjiang team did not have any victories.But this is not to say that the players of the Xiangjiang team are willing to give up the victory, of course they will work hard.

As a professional player, who would not want to win?

It's just that their mentality will be more relaxed.

………………

The possession of the ball was changed, the Chinese team took possession of the ball, and Zhao Junzhe passed the football to Yin Jun.

Yin Jun pulled the ball with his left foot and tricked the Xiangjiang player who was grabbing.At the same time, Sun Jihai suddenly advanced at high speed on the wing.

Sun Jihai was just running falsely. His function is not to catch the pass, but to create a false impression of the catch.Its purpose is only one, to attract the attention of the opponent's defense.

When the full-backs come up to assist, someone from the opponent must go up to defend. Even though you know this may be false, you still have to defend.Because in this case, the opponent's right midfielder only needs one pass to penetrate the entire defense line.

The Xiangjiang team's left back followed Sun Jihai to run.

Seeing that the opponent's left back was taken away, Yin Jun swung his foot to pass the ball, and the football crossed an arc and flew straight forward.

Li Yi appeared on the flight line of the football, and the central defender of the Xiangjiang team followed him.

The football fell, Li Yi stopped the ball beautifully, and was about to pick up speed.

Seeing that Li Yi was about to enter the penalty area, the central defender of the Xiangjiang team stretched out his hand and pushed.The strength he used was relatively low, and his movements were relatively concealed. After all, if the referee didn't see it, he wouldn't call the foul, and he made a profit.

To his surprise, there was no push!
The central defender of the Xiangjiang team looked at this Chinese forward known as Asia's No. [-] striker in astonishment, and felt as if a hundred thousand harmonious beasts were running wildly in his heart.

Although he knew that there was a big physical gap between himself and the Chinese players, he never imagined that the gap was so big.

………………

Li Yi pushed with his right foot and passed!

A small tank-like figure of Zhang Yulin weighing nearly [-] kilograms appeared in the camera, and beside him was another central defender of the Xiangjiang team who was panicking.

The Xiangjiang team's central defender stretched out his foot to steal the ball.

"No!" Li Weiwen, the captain of the Xiangjiang team, shouted quickly.

It was too late, and in the next second, Zhang Yulin fell in the penalty area.

At this moment, everything was developing so fast that many fans didn't see it clearly.But it is true that Zhang Yulin fell in the penalty area after contacting the central defender of the Xiangjiang team.

Diving - Shout out to the supporters of the Xiangjiang team.

Penalty kicks - fans roaring in support of the national team.

The Thai referee Meng Ke's whistle sounded.It is up to his decision whether to judge a dive or a penalty kick.

Then, everyone saw the referee Meng Ke pointing to the penalty spot!

"Penalty kick! Penalty kick! Penalty kick! The game only started 2 minutes! This is really a major blow to the Xiangjiang team!"

Li Xinxiang, the head coach of the Xiangjiang team, jumped up from his seat and rushed to the sidelines angrily.He shook his fist in protest.

Although he can accept the team losing to the Chinese team again, he cannot accept that his team fell under the referee's hands at the beginning!
He does not accept such a result, absolutely not!
