Team Spirit

Chapter 124 (10,000-word update, please vote) Teng Hai usurps the throne, Green Gun advances to the European competition main tournament.
As expected, after being thoroughly beaten by Charlton, the Dartford players generally lost their confidence.

Especially the new signings.

The two French dwarfs both wanted to buy plane tickets to go back home.

If I go back now, I should still be able to make it to the competition in France.

Unfortunately, the team hasn't paid their weekly wages yet, so they can't go back.

On August 7th, the first round of the English League Two kicked off, officially starting the new season.

Dartford beat Luton Town 2-1 away from home.

They gave this League Two club, the lowest-valued club, a taste of what the League Three was all about.

August 10th, League Two, Round 2.

Dartford narrowly defeated Crewe 3-2 at home.

On August 14th, in the third round of League Two, Dartford defeated Wigan Athletic, a strong team in League Two, 4-3 at home.

Regarding the stadium, Dartford used a huge banner to block out the construction site, with all the team players on it, which can be considered a kind of image project.

It enhanced the players' sense of belonging.

In terms of attack, Lu Kai, who returned to the attacking midfield position, scored three goals and provided two assists in three games, shouldering the responsibility of leading the team's attack.

The effect is as good as it was back then.

However, the team's defense has been quite shaky, conceding six goals in three games.

Alf has adapted to the team quickly and still has plenty of energy.

The goal conceded was mainly "thanks to" Ten Hag in the defensive midfield position.

Ten Hag, who had long played as a center-back, started playing as a defensive midfielder at Lu Kai's request.

He initially refused, saying, "I won't play defensive midfielder; I've always played center-back for all these years."

But Lu Kai said, "I don't care what you are, you are whatever I tell you to be."

Under the pressure of authority, Ten Hag played defensive midfield with tears in his eyes, and the results were predictable.

However, Lu Kai believes this is just a matter of adaptation.

Ten Hag's ability and experience determine that he will be a good defensive midfielder once he adapts.

Lu Kai's tactical system dictates that the defensive midfield position only requires strong defensive capabilities and rich experience in positioning, and having a good passing ability is even better.

Young defensive midfielders with these qualities are rare, but there are actually quite a few older ones.

Having played football for over ten years, even without football intelligence, one still gains experience.

Near the end of the third league match, Lu Kai voluntarily requested a yellow card.

"Lu! What's going on?!" Tenhah shouted at Lu Kai twice. "We should try to avoid these unnecessary fouls!"

After saying that, he even gave off an air of "amateur teams just don't have much discipline."

Patton was stunned. He looked at Lu Kai as he walked toward Ten Hach.

Lu Kai shook his head.

Patton used a "Pan Zhou Dan" technique to avoid Ten Hach.

Ten Hach found it all baffling.

Is this Patton a rip-off?
Why does the stadium have to be so big, right next to where you are?
But you know what, Patton actually looks pretty good...

On August 17th, Dartford faced a crucial battle.

The team flew to Luxembourg to play against Began Avernier.

The first leg of the UEFA Cup play-off qualifiers has officially kicked off.

Ninety minutes later, Dartford left the opponent's home ground, which had only two thousand people, with their heads held high.

Dartford won the first leg 2-1, moving them one step closer to qualifying for the UEFA Cup group stage.

If they don't lose the next leg at home, they can make history!
August 21st, League Two, Round 4.

Dartford will play away against Cardiff City.

This is a Chinese derby.

Because Crystal Palace defender Fan Zhiyi has just joined the team.

Ultimately, Dartford escaped with a draw, ending in a 1-1 victory.

August 24th, League Two, Round 5.

Dartford defeated Wycombe Wanderers 3-1 at home.

With five minutes remaining, the game was no longer in doubt, but Lu Kai still committed two "unnecessary" fouls, ignoring the referee's warnings, and ultimately received a yellow card.

Ten Hach shook his head.

This child is beyond redemption!

It seems it's time to bring the advanced teaching experience from the Dutch Eredivisie to Dartford.

Although Alfred, the godfather of the Green Gun, was exceptionally talented, his relationship with Lu Kai was too good, and he doted on the latter too much.

This is what led Lu Kai to develop these bad habits.

If I could help Alfred solve this "stubborn problem," Alfred would surely share all his knowledge with me, wouldn't he?
Ten Hach has made up his mind; he already has a way to learn from this!

……

August 25th, Dartford's intra-squad training match.

This day also marks Lu Kai's seventeenth birthday.

Ashley Young, who was still recovering from his injury, quietly came to the Pond Convenience Store with a music album that he had bought at a high price—The Rainy Season When I Was Seventeen!
Jiang Mengyun, Emily, Alfred, and others were secretly preparing a birthday surprise for Lu Kai after training.

Players such as Barton, Duff, and Madeira were also in the know.

As for the new players, there's basically nothing to know.

If everyone knew, Lu Kai would probably see through someone's poor acting skills.

Then there will be no surprises.

On the training field, Kelow is further explaining the intricacies of the team's tactics to the new players.

Although he and Daniel aren't good at football, they can still hold their own in other aspects.

Kelow: "Our team's traditional formation is not the most mainstream 4-4-2 in football, but 3-2-3-2."

"The main options up front are Akinfenwa, Beckford, and Murray. Madeira, Ashley Young, and Lu can also fill in, depending on the opponent."

"The main wingers are Ashley Young, Madeira, Shory, Ribery, and Valbuena. However, Mr. Alfred emphasizes tracking back, so these two positions are more like wing-backs or even full-backs."

"Lu will play the attacking midfield position this season, and Ashley Young can also play in this position. In addition, Ribery, Valbuena, and Amorim will also train in this position."

"The two defensive midfielders are mainly Barton, Ten Hag, Amorim, myself, and Daniel. But I think Ten Hag is just filling in, and he will probably get a starting position when Toure returns in the winter transfer window."

"The three center-backs are Alf, Williams, and Duff, with substitutes including Williams, Davis, and others. Barry and Ten Hag can also fill in."

However, Dartford has always had a habit of practicing the 4-3-3 formation.

This formation has been officially incorporated into the team's regular formation this season.

The training session ended quickly; it wasn't very intense.

Just as some people were looking forward to preparing for their birthday celebration, Ten Hag suddenly stood up and said: "Well, as one of the oldest players on the team and as an assistant coach, I have a few words to say."

Alfred hesitated for a moment: "Well, how about we talk about it later? I have other things to do today."

Ten Hach insisted: "No, this is very important, and I feel we can't delay any longer."

Alfred and Barton exchanged glances.

Did Ten Hah also know that today is Lu Kai's birthday?

Old Deng really put his heart into it.

"Then you speak," Alfred said with a slight smile.

These spontaneous toasts add a touch of immersion to today's celebration.

Ten Hag cleared his throat: "I know Dartford is a winning team, a championship team. And all these achievements are inseparable from one person, Lu Kai."

"He is incredibly talented, he is full of potential, and he is one of the best young players in the world."

Amorin shouted from below, "Without exception!"

Everyone chimed in, "Without exception!"

Ten Hach smiled and nodded, but he didn't actually like the atmosphere.

Good medicine tastes bitter, and honest advice is hard to hear; the Green Gunners players have too much respect for Lu Kai.

This isn't Dartford; it's more like "Lu Kai is right about everything."

This is bad.

“But! Based on my observations of Dartford, I think the team needs to make changes in many aspects,” Ten Hag said enthusiastically. “I admit that Lu Kai covers a wide range on the pitch and works very hard.”

"But why commit those pointless fouls at the last minute?"

"If we're not careful now, we could be suspended for crucial matches because of accumulating just one more yellow card. Who will be responsible for that then?"

"besides……"

Ten Hach spoke at length.

Alfred was dumbfounded.

This guy is a social media shill, isn't he?

You've only been here for less than a month, and you're already starting to offer opinions?

And they're even going to kill the monkey to scare the chicken?
What is this operation?
Alfred tried to stop him several times, but Ten Hag continued to speak, arguing that "I am the assistant coach and it is my duty to help the team improve."

Alfred gave up on saving Tenhi.

“I know the atmosphere is awkward right now, but as a team, we’re not afraid of awkwardness. I can even make it last longer,” Ten Hach said. “Compared to improving our skills, awkwardness is the easiest thing to overcome.”

"I know this is embarrassing for Lu. He is the Zhu Xi of the club and the captain of the team, but that's precisely why he should hold himself to a higher standard and set an example."

"I will supervise him from now on and help him become even better! Help Dartford become even better!"

Valbuena, though not the brightest, thought Ten Hach was right and was the first to clap: "Bravo!"

Ribery was much smarter; he noticed that the older players all looked pale and knew that something was wrong.

Ribery is a troublemaker, so he is very sensitive to the team atmosphere.

He knew perfectly well who was being bullied and who wanted to enslave whom.

Ten Hach's actions were undoubtedly aimed at gaining a higher status by accusing his opponent, thereby completing a power grab.

So he appointed himself as a supervisor.

Therefore, he will have the right to reprimand everyone from now on.

But the question is, on what basis?
Do you think you're so great?
If you encounter someone like that, it's fine if they don't bother you, but if they dare to provoke you, Ribery will definitely stand up to them firmly.

In this team, Ribery can also feel the presence of players similar to himself.

A troublemaker understands another troublemaker.

Ribery looked at Barton.

The other party seems to be much more advanced than me in the path of being a troublemaker.

Haaland, in the crowd, looked utterly disdainful.

He's old, what locker room infighting hasn't he seen?
We're all ancient foxes, why are you trying to play these ghost stories with me?
Haaland knew that Ten Hag must not have followed Dartford's games and news before.

Although Lu Kai is always kind and gentle in his dealings with people, this is a gun for revenge!
He is the mastermind behind the evil Patton and the rampaging Duff!
When he fought or clashed with veteran players from Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City, he never lost out, either physically or verbally.

If Ten Hach thinks the Green Spears are just a bunch of kids, he's sorely mistaken.

This is the Green Tarot Club!
Trapped here are Mr. Ashley Youngman, the whistleblower Amorin, Scarface Ribéry, the photographer Valbuena, the blood-red titan Akinfenwa, the rogue goblin Vardy...

Everyone has a morally questionable side.

Dartford, there are no good men.

After realizing that no one was clapping along with him, Valbuena quietly lowered his hands and looked at Lu Kai with a puzzled expression.

Lu Kai was all smiles and showed no sign of displeasure; he even nodded repeatedly in affirmation of Ten Hah's remarks.

The next moment, Patton stepped out of the line and asked Ten Hach, "Are you done?"

Ten Hag: "That's all for now. We'll see what happens next based on everyone's improvement. I hope everyone takes football seriously and takes responsibility for their lives!"

Patton drew closer to Ten Hach: "But first and foremost, you need to take responsibility for your own life."

Ten Hach looked puzzled.

The next moment, Barton kicked him in the stomach.

Ten Hach was completely dumbfounded.

Barton then flew over and punched Ten Hag in the face: "You can talk about me, you can talk about other people, but in this team, you should never talk nonsense about Lu Da!"

You must show him full respect!

"respect!"

"respect!"

Every act of respect is accompanied by a punch.

Barton used a combo to knock Ten Hah to the ground, then pressed down on him.

The entire Green Gun crew erupted in uproar.

New signings Beckford and Murray instinctively wanted to go over and break up the fight, but Duff stepped in front of them.

The two weren't stupid; they realized what was happening.

Joe Hart was stunned and asked his mentor Scott, "This...aren't we going to stop them?"

Scott sneered: "Have you ever played in the ninth tier of leagues?"

"What about level seven?"

"What about amateur cup competitions?"

Rich Daniel shrugged: "English football has developed for so many years, what rules haven't we had? What scientific methods haven't we used?"

"But a team's strength is often not due to these mechanical things."

“My dad used to always discuss with me whether heroes are created by the times or created by the times. Now I have the answer…”

Sherry: "Without Dartford, Lu Kai is still Lu Kai. He will play for Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Juventus."

"Without Lu Kai, Dartford will never become the Green Gun, and Dartford will be nothing!"

Madeira: "Football is a team sport; the strength of an individual is far less than that of the whole team."

"But in Dartford, this conclusion has been overturned."

"Lu Yong's real battles have taught us a lesson: many things that sound very correct often do not conform to reality."

"Datford doesn't need any supervisors, and it doesn't need any experience from the Dutch Eredivisie."

"We only need land!"

At this moment, the new recruits of Green Gun were shocked.

If it were only Patton acting like this, people could understand.

But almost all of Dartford's veterans share this attitude.

Lu Kai's personal legend is even more exaggerated within Dartford than outside the team.

Because only those close to him know how many misunderstandings the media has about him.

The good qualities that outsiders know about Lu Kai are less than one-tenth or one-twelfth of the real Lu Kai!
They were all the main characters in their own lives, but after meeting Lu Kai, they realized that Lu was the main character!
I'm impressed!

Before seeing a swan, a sparrow will not worship anyone.

But after seeing the swan, the sparrows became too embarrassed to flap their wings freely.

Historically and in business, newly recruited management teams often enjoy taking over the reins of established teams.

They seem very professional, spouting theories and constantly mentioning industry leaders and their connections.

But these things can all be learned, they're worthless.

What's truly valuable is the decisiveness, personal charisma, and overall strength that comes from fighting your way up from humble beginnings.

Dartford's team has extremely strong anti-PUA capabilities!

And so, Patton gave Ten Hach a good beating.

His resume finally had the section on assaulting his coach completed.

Honestly, he's been holding it in for a long time.

Alfred: Shivering.

"Alright!" Lu Kai said, walking towards Teng Hahe.

Wherever he went, his teammates scattered.

Although this analogy is not quite accurate, wherever King Charles passed, the border sheep had to lie down!
“Actually, I think Ten Hah makes a lot of sense. In future matches, we need to pay attention to disciplinary fouls.” Lu Kai reached out to Ten Hah.

The latter was so frightened that he shrank back.

The others applauded, expressing their agreement with what Lu Kai said.

Ten Hagh raised the same point and was subsequently beaten up.

Lu Kai proposed that the whole team cheer.

The differences between people are vividly demonstrated at this moment.

Lu Kai helped Ten Hach up and said, "That's just how Patton is, he's straightforward, don't take it to heart."

Ten Hach didn't even dare to look in Patton's direction.

The team then entered the pond convenience store one after another.

Eva personally hosted Lu Kai's birthday party, where everyone drank milk tea and played games together.

Ten Hah was tending to the wounds on his face in the inner room, tears streaming down his face.

He felt wronged.

He's a rich second-generation heir, always able to command respect wherever he goes, he's never suffered like this before.

But there was nothing he could do; Patton was too evil.

Ten Hach didn't dare to retaliate at all.

Just then, someone pushed the door open.

Ten Hah instinctively flinched, only relaxing when he realized the other person was using a cane.

He's disabled; he should be able to win.

Ashley Young glanced outside and gave Amorin, who was standing guard at the door, a look that signaled him to keep watch.

He then whispered to Teng Hahe, "Lu likes to call you Teng Hai, so I just followed suit. Teng Hai, do you know what mistake you've made?"

Ten Hach: "I shouldn't have pointed out Lu's mistake."

Ashley Young smiled and shook his head: "No. Your mistake is not finding your true teammates."

Ten Hach's pupils contracted: "So, you also want to be the GOAT?"

Ashley Young put his finger to his lips: "Don't say it out loud. Only heaven, earth, you, and I know!"

Ten Hagh then pointed to Amorim outside the door.

Ashley Young thumped his chest and said, "Absolute loyalty! One of our own, you can rely on him!"

Ten Hach: "So what do we need to do?"

Ashley Young: "They outwardly comply with them."

Ten Hach nodded: "And then?"

Ashley Young was taken aback: "After that, we won't be bullied anymore."

Ten Hach: "I know, I mean, what do we do after we've gained their trust and understanding?"

Ashley Young was enigmatic: "Unspeakable, unspeakable."

Ten Hach gave him an "I understand" look: "Oh...so that's how you're planning something big!"

Ashley Young smiled without saying a word.

Once I gained their trust and understanding, life became easier, and then I could wait until the transfer window opened.

What else needs to be done?

Is Tengzi out of his mind?

Ten Hach: ? ? ?

Ten Hah: Others endured hardship and humiliation to win Xi Shi's heart, but you endured hardship and humiliation just to eat that piece of shit?
On this day, there was only one person in Dartford who wasn't happy.

The next day, Ten Hach waited at the convenience store early in the morning.

When Patton came in, he rushed over immediately.

Patton makes a blocking motion.

He picked up the stool with his backhand.

As a result, Ten Hah handed him a cup of matcha Nari ice: "Bago, it's hot today, isn't it? Here, have some."

Barton frowned: "You poisoned it?"

Ten Hah looked at Jiang Mengyun.

Jiang Mengyun shook her head to indicate that there was nothing wrong with the items.

Barton took the coffee, somewhat bewildered.

He's not the type of player who bullies others; he hits people simply because he dislikes them, not to enslave them. Therefore, after hitting someone, his relationship with that person often worsens.

This was the first time he had ever met someone like Ten Hach.

“I thought about it all night last night, and I realized you were right. I underestimated our Captain Lu,” Tenhah said. “Captain Lu is unfathomable. If I could see right through him, how could he have achieved such great success?”

"I shouldn't use my shallow thinking to speculate about Captain Lu."

Barton nodded: "Yes, that's exactly what I meant."

Ten Hach realized he was on the right track and quickly continued, "Captain Lu deliberately got a yellow card, it must be to motivate us, maybe it will make us unleash even stronger fighting power in the next game?"

Ten Hach then launched into a series of eloquent remarks, making Patton very happy: "Ten Hach, you really have to admit, you're quite the talker."

Ten Hah said with a fawning smile, "Little Teng, Little Teng... You can also call me Tengzi, it's more friendly. But try not to call me Teng Hai, because that's Captain Lu's exclusive nickname."

Patton was also happy to offer a few pointers to Ten Hach: "If you had understood the name that Captain Lu gave you earlier, we wouldn't have ended up like this."

Ten Hach: "I'd like to hear more details."

Barton: "In Dartford, you'll have to learn Chinese. 'Teng-hai-teng-hai,' the 'Teng' of 'joyful' and the 'hai' of 'happy' are for creating a lively atmosphere, not for making the locker room feel so sour and resentful, understand?" "Tactics, discipline, and command are all the responsibility of the Marines and Mr. Alfred."

Ten Hach: "I've learned a lot."

The team's training went exceptionally smoothly that day.

Ten Hag has integrated perfectly into the team.

I will no longer be directing this or that from the defensive midfield position.

Without this third-rate commander, the team operated very smoothly under Lu Kai's leadership.

The defensive duo of Barton and Duff also proved effective, resulting in a significant improvement in the team's defense.

After all, they are now Premier League level players.

And Ten Hag?

Absolutely awful!

Many people thought an internal earthquake was about to strike Dartford.

As a result, the team became more harmonious.

The once-powerful Ten Hach is gone.

There's one more Tengzi who keeps calling "Bagbag" all the time.

……

August 28th, the second leg of the UEFA Cup play-offs.

Dartford will host Began.

Six thousand people filled the place, all dressed in green.

The atmosphere alone put immense pressure on Began.

After all, their own home stadium only has a capacity of two thousand people, which is not comparable to the Riverside Stadium.

Meanwhile, construction is still underway nearby, and it is said that the capacity will exceed 40,000 people upon completion.

Are all League Two teams this rich?

"Hello everyone, this is Jianxiang. I'm very happy to bring you this crucial match for Dartford's advancement to European competition."

"Today, Green Gunners used a 4-3-3 formation, or more accurately, a 4-2-1-3, with Lu Kai returning to the attacking midfielder position."

"The forward line consists of Ribery, Beckford, and Madeira."

"Attacking midfielder Lu Kai"

"The two defensive midfielders, Barton and Ten Hag, seem to have a very good relationship. I originally thought that Ten Hag, being a senior from the Dutch Eredivisie, would be superior to them."

"But today, he seemed very approachable, chatting and laughing with Patton. What's with the bruise around his eye? Did he fall because he was drunk?"

"The four defenders are Sherry, Alf, Williams, and Duff."

Goalkeeper Schmeichel.

In the stands, Scott, the Green Guns' "first man," looked somewhat disappointed.

His girlfriend caught a cold today, and Alfred, being considerate of his family's situation, granted him a day off.

The team really treats him well.

He said he doesn't need a holiday and he can disregard his family, because this is the team's most important European competition, and they can't do without him.

Let Caspar handle those EFL Trophy and League Two matches for weaker teams.

Kasper might not be able to carry the team in such an important match.

But perhaps the team thought Scott was too important and insisted on giving him a vacation so that his family could be at peace.

You tell me.

That's status!
Duff, on the other hand, can play both center-back and right-back.

This summer he started to lose weight, and he lost a lot of body fat, which improved his mobility.

Bergen's formation was 4-2-3-1.

The winger dropped back to the wing midfielder side, securing a victory through a steady approach.

With the sound of a whistle, this crucial battle began.

Dartford will receive at least £300,000 in additional revenue from all parties if they advance, which is a considerable sum.

If you include entrance fees, it's even more.

Because tickets for European competitions are more expensive than those for regular league and cup matches.

With a whistle, the game officially begins.

In the fourth minute, Lu Kai passed the ball to the right wing, and Madeira used his individual skills to break through at high speed and then made a cross.

Beckford's close-range shot was saved by the opposing goalkeeper Harttel, who pushed it to his left.

After picking up the ball, Ribery turned and took two steps back, then turned again and began to break through. He accelerated quickly and created an opportunity to cross the ball just before the byline.

Lu Kai was unmarked at the near post and unleashed a powerful header.

Under the influence of "high-altitude operations," the football fell into the net.

One to zero!

Dartford extended their aggregate lead to 3-1.

Began needs to score three goals to turn the game around.

"That's very difficult! Football is not basketball. Scoring three goals in a match is as difficult as a player scoring 30 points in a single game," Huang Jianxiang explained.

In this era, the top scorer only averages around 20 points per game, and 30 points in a single game is enough to make the news.

In the sixth minute, Began made a series of passes, creating a very good team combination.

The three players made seven consecutive passes, breaking through the defense of Shory, Alf, and Ten Hag.

Their midfield maestro, Molito, made a run and fired a shot.

Kasper caught the ball securely.

Scott, standing in the stands, leaped to his feet, brimming with pride: "Beautiful save! That's it! That's the student I've trained!"

Scott's girlfriend gave him a strange look: "If Caspar plays this well, won't your position be affected?"

Scott was taken aback.

He had never thought of this before because he used to be a backup goalkeeper and no one would take his place.

In the eighth minute, Madeira passed the ball from the right wing to Beckford, who came to support, and Beckford passed it back to Lu Kai.

Lu Kai knocked horizontally.

Barton made a run and took a long-range shot.

The ball went just wide.

In the eleventh minute, Shory made a run down the left flank and, along with Ribery, launched a series of attacks, drawing the defenders away.

Lu Kai feigned a through pass, but actually cut inside and changed direction before delivering a long pass deep into the right side of the penalty area.

Madeira was unmarked at the far post and volleyed home to score.

Two to zero!
Dartford killed the game!
Although there were still eighty minutes left in the game, the players on Began's side had already fallen into despair.

Dartford seems different today.
stronger.

On the bench, Amorin discussed tactics with Alfred: "Without Ten Hag's interference, the team's offensive and defensive rhythm is faster."

Alfred nodded: "Keep an eye on things for me, I'm going to take a nap."

Valbuena exclaimed incredulously, "This...were we this relaxed during the match?"

Amorin had already figured out the trick: "Just wake up the boss when the Marines are looking for him."

In the fourteenth minute, Began launched a counter-attack.

Left winger Dalus caught up with the ball just before the byline and launched a long pass into the penalty area.

Center forward Carlo Pes jumped ahead of Williams and headed the ball on.

Molito attempts to get a touch on the ball inside the penalty area.

The ball sailed over Haaland's outstretched leg and into the net.

"One to two! Began hasn't given up yet!"

"They still have a chance."

In the 19th minute, Bergen striker Carlos Pes was forced off injured and replaced by substitute striker Lopes, whose names are very similar.

In the 26th minute, Lu Kai was fouled in midfield.

Xiao Lilai took a tactical free kick.

Chaos erupted inside the Began penalty area.

Their center-back Midikko miskicked his long clearance, and the ball went high but not far, landing near the byline close to the edge of the penalty area.

Lu Kai secured the spot.

Instead of trying to steal the ball directly, the Began players shoved Lu Kai, which would cause Lu Kai to stop the ball out of bounds.

As a result... the football landed steadily on Lu Kai's instep and then slid down to the ground without bouncing even a centimeter.

The Began players were stunned.

What technology is this?
Was glue applied to the instep?

The next moment, Lu Kai pulled a fried meatball out of the double bag.

Send it in an inverted triangle shape.

Barton, who had made a run, unleashed another long-range shot.

The foot is there!

"Three to one! Dartford have no hope left for Began!"

"Lu Kai completed 90% of the work and then passed Barton an extremely comfortable ball."

“See, I told you Ten Hah and Patton had a good relationship. He was even more excited than Lu Kai.”

"There were rumors that Ten Hag and Patton were at odds and had even fought, but it now appears to be just fake news from the BBC."

"They also said the news was about an injured Dartford player who didn't want to be named, just to make people suspect Ashley Young."

“But I’d rather doubt Scott than Ashley Young!”

"His relationship with Lu Kai is stronger than gold!"

In the 32nd minute, Ribery passed the ball back to Lu Kai from the left wing and then made a forward run.

Lu Kai, without stopping the ball, sent another rainbow through ball to Madeira, who had broken into the penalty area on the other side.

Madeira met the falling ball with a cross.

Beckford slotted home.

Four to one!

The game was blown out!

Madeira, when not targeted, is incredibly lethal; she can easily find a one-on-one opportunity.

Ribery on the left wing has excellent dribbling skills, which can draw attention away from the opposing defenders and pull them to the left.

One belt and one protrusion, two wings, two ways of flying.

In the 41st minute, Ten Hag conceded a free kick to the opponent in the attacking third.

Becken took a tactical free kick, and their defensive midfielder Da Silva and center-back Ney headed the ball into the net.

Da Silva had just crawled into the goal to retrieve the ball when he noticed the linesman raising his flag.

Offside, goal disallowed.

In slow-motion replays, it's easy to see Haaland's command of the defensive line's offside trap.

The veteran's experience prevailed at this moment.

Dartford made adjustments during halftime.

Youngster Amorim replaced Ten Hag and moved to the defensive midfield position for training.

In the 52nd minute, Madeira passed the ball back to Lu Kai and then made a run into the penalty area.

Lu Kai flicks the ball with his heel.

Ribery, who had moved closer, unleashed a long-range shot, which went just wide of the far post.

Ribery quickly reached out to apologize.

Your pass was good, but my play was bad.

In the 54th minute, Began launched another attack, with full-back Calvaruso crossing from the wing, but the pass didn't reach the target at all.

Instead, the ball bounced out of bounds at the far post where no one was there.

The head coach of Began was so angry that he kicked a water bottle away on the sidelines.

In the 56th minute, Began made a mistake in passing the ball out from the backfield.

The ball was passed directly to Lu Kai's feet.

Ten Hag, watching from the sidelines, was horrified.

That positioning is awesome!

The Began players immediately counter-pressed.

Lu Kai dodged the ball with a V-shaped pull.

Seeing that Lu Kai was about to have a great opportunity, the center-back Ney, who had made a mistake, had no choice but to pull Lu Kai down, thus receiving a yellow card.

Dartford were awarded a free kick in a good position.

"Will Lu Kai... Captain Lu try a free kick directly at the goal?" Ten Hag asked.

Alfred stood up and stretched his limbs: "Get rid of that attempt."

The next moment, Lu Kai rushed towards the football.

The body is tilted.

The left foot formed a 45-degree angle with the ground.

[The Crescent Moon Blade - Beckham - The Master]!
The football flew straight into the top right corner of the goal.

Perfect free kick!
The Bergen goalkeeper was dumbfounded.

Ten Hag exclaimed, "That's the golden 45 degrees! I was fortunate enough to attend the Dutch Eredivisie Coaches Summit as a rich kid, and they specifically mentioned Beckham's 'banana kick'."

"Since Beckham became a sensation, many people have imitated him, and some can even imitate him to a degree of 70%, including a high accuracy rate in free kicks."

"But no one can complete the remaining 30%."

"Because the golden 45-degree angle is not something that ordinary people can achieve; it's a kind of innate physiological structure. Beckham's ankles are just a bit softer or more twisted than others."

"Forced imitation will only sprain your ankle."

"Lu Kai has been perfectly replicated!"

"This...wait?"

Ten Hag looked around; the bench was empty.

Everyone rushed to the sidelines and jumped high with Lu Kai, making his signature Lu celebration.

Even Alfred, that old man, was lifted into the air.

So that's what he was warming up for.

The sound of Lu echoed in the air above the stadium.

Patton, celebrating, looked at Ten Hag.

Ten Hah jumped in surprise and rushed over after him.

Because he was too eager and ran too fast, when he landed after a Lu (a type of fall), he couldn't control his momentum, his ankle hurt, and he fell backward to the ground.

"Oh! Ten Hag, who was substituted, has twisted his ankle on the bench."

"This is really bad news."

"However, it looks like it's just a common sprain, and it should heal in a little over a week."

"Hopefully he will practice Lu Kai's celebration moves more often in the future, so that such unnecessary casualties will not happen again."

In the 63rd minute, Ribery dribbled continuously down the left flank without losing possession, which is a strength.

However, their vision was poor, and they were surrounded by the opponent, so they were bound to lose the ball sooner or later.

Fortunately, Lu Kai's forward run provided him with a passing option.

Ribery kicked the ball forward, and Lu Kai caught up with it just before the byline.

The Began players quickly moved in and surrounded him.

Lu Kai feinted a bicycle kick with his right foot, and the opponent immediately stepped forward to try and steal the ball.

They did study Lu Kai.

Knowing that Lu Kai's bicycle wasn't very deceptive, he would often pedal five times in a row.

During this period, it is possible to attempt a steal.

This time, Lu Kai didn't start the electric bicycle. Instead, he held the soccer ball between his feet, one in front of the other, and threw it into the air from behind.

The football soared over Lu Kai's head and flew forward, like a rainbow streaking across the sky.

【Rainbow Over Flowers】!
Ten Hach said instinctively, "So flashy, it's unnecessary... but that's the effect!"

Alfred then looked away and began to warm up.

Lu Kai charged into the penalty area and poked the ball with his toe, aiming at the goal.

A feint, a real pass!

It's an inverted triangle again!
Ribery rushed into the penalty area and took a shot.

Perhaps worried about kicking the ball too hard and sending it flying, Ribery shot a bit conservatively.

The goalkeeper actually saved the ball.

However, Madeira was right there and scored on the rebound.

Football in the net!

"GOAL! Six to one! That's insane!"

"Began was completely helpless!"

"Datford are just too dominant at home."

"Is this the effect of a 40 million pound stadium? It's only just started construction, and it's already empowering the players!"

Ten Hag rushed out immediately, ready to join the celebration.

It turned out that not many players were on the bench.

Alfred, who had just warmed up, sat firmly in bed and entered sleep mode.

The answer is simple.

Lu Kai did not score.

Inside the stadium, Ribery thanked Madeira for saving him, and also thanked Lu Kai for the "assist".

If it were him, he definitely wouldn't have passed the ball.

Lu Kai knew this, of course.

Let alone Ribery, the same goes for Valbuena; these super strikers who emerged from lower-level teams are all lone wolves.

Because their teammates are unreliable, they can only rely on themselves.

Lu Kai will help them get rid of this bad habit during matches and training.

Barton: I'll help too.

After the celebration ended, Lu Kai gave Alfred a hand gesture.

Alfred immediately got up and began to replace the person.

Valbuena replaced Ribery.

He and Lu Kai exchanged passes and shots today.

Akinfenwa replaced Beckford, who also scored a goal today.

In the 67th minute, Valbuena attempted a harmless long-range shot from outside the left side of the penalty area.

That's how they become independent.

In the 77th minute, Shori overlapped with Valbuena and crossed the ball.

Akinfenwa and the opponent contested for the ball, but neither of them touched it.

The opposing center-back cleared the ball with a long kick.

Lu Kai volleyed the ball into the air.

The opposing goalkeeper dived in the right direction.

But the ball struck Akinfenwa's shin midway, changing direction and flying to the other side.

"GOAL! Seven to one!"

"Datford is still slaughtering!"

Ten Hag leaned back in his chair because the goal would be credited to Akinfenwa, not Lu Kai.

This way, everyone won't have to travel all the way to celebrate...

Huh?
What the hell!

The Dartford substitutes rushed out of the bench.

Ten Hach was completely numb.

Why are we celebrating again?
He limped toward the corner flag area, inwardly screaming that personality cults were unacceptable.

The stadium commentator provided the answer for Ten Hag.

Congratulations to Lu Kai! He has completed a hat trick of assists!

Ten Hach felt the pain on his feet and remembered it in his heart.

So hat tricks are celebrated too.

Green Gun has so many rules.
