Chapter 1549: Chapter 818 Sir, Times Have Changed (Please Subscribe)_2
But this time, it’s not really what you’d call a rapidly changing situation.
As a result, the coach of Feiyue Football Club was able to smoothly give new instructions to the players.
Very quickly, the players on the field began preparing for the next strategy, following their coach’s directives.
Since the opposing team seemed so sluggish, it made sense to launch some aggressive attacks to force them to show their true form. After analysis, the coach of Mist City Arts and Science University’s Feiyue Football Club believed that Shuangjiang Football Club’s strategy was likely a passive defense. This sluggish style of playing might just be a deceptive smokescreen, so caution was necessary.
On the field, Feiyue Football Club’s players immediately showcased exceptional teamwork, trusting one another and quickly initiating a storm-like offensive.
The spectators finally got to see some intense, powerful attacks—after almost ten minutes of stagnant play that nearly put them to sleep.
Feiyue Football Club, with lightning speed, moved the ball to Shuangjiang Football Club’s defensive zone. The goalkeeper saw this and immediately tensed up.
After all, the attack came too suddenly, and the opposing team deftly bypassed the defense in just a few moves, looking poised to strike.
"Alright, we can see that after the No. 12 passed the ball, he created an excellent scoring opportunity—and the ball is in!"
Amid the commentator’s passionate narration, the ball traced a graceful arc mid-air, landing in a central position where another player precisely struck and scored.
The stadium instantly erupted in cheers!
In the Mist City Arts and Science University’s live broadcast chat room, messages like "Congratulations on the goal" and "A great start" flooded the screen, creating a jubilant atmosphere.
Finally, a goal!
And the scoring team was Feiyue Football Club of Mist City Arts and Science University—how could the fans not feel thrilled? ƒгeewёbnovel.com
What’s even more important is that the goal was extremely well-executed. Shuangjiang Football Club was left with no way to counter, as Feiyue Football Club promptly shifted its approach after receiving new instructions from the coach. They switched from probing to an aggressive lightning offense, catching Shuangjiang completely off guard.
In contrast, Shuangjiang Football Club’s players still seemed unable to physically gear up. Their passing game lacked coordination, with players just blindly feeding the ball to each other.
It was as if, upon receiving the ball from a teammate, they had no idea what to do next, and so decided to simply pass it back or hand it off to another teammate. This kind of gameplay was downright frustrating to watch.
"What is Shuangjiang trying to do out there?"
"You get the ball and don’t know what to do with it, huh?"
"These players look so lethargic. What were they up to last night? We all know."
"Feiyue Football Club, crush them for me—they’re driving me crazy!"
"As a Shuangjiang fan for many years, I’m really mad right now. Are they just throwing away their dignity?"
"So Shuangjiang’s just giving up now, huh?"
"Shuangjiang is utterly disgraceful. Mist City’s top team can’t even beat a college squad—now *that* is embarrassing."
"Haha, this is hilarious. Is Shuangjiang even worried about losing face? They don’t even care anymore."
"Shuangjiang began declining three years ago, and now it’s only getting worse."
"These last two years, Shuangjiang has been so terrible it’s unwatchable!"
Both the on-site Shuangjiang fans and the live-stream viewers were no longer expressing hope for Shuangjiang’s improvement—they were downright roasting the team.
No one could blame them. Shuangjiang Football Club had been showing this kind of careless attitude since three years ago. Back then, they still had a bit of drive, managing to compete with teams like Hengtai and An Country occasionally, even pulling off a few impressive matches.
But in the past two years?
They practically lost every match, so thoroughly that it became a total humiliation.
It’s similar to how fans make fun of the national football team: Losing to Japan, then Korea, then Vietnam, and finally Myanmar—the embarrassment just keeps piling on.
"Look at Feiyue Football Club—that’s what real football looks like!"
"To be fair, Feiyue Football Club’s teamwork is absolutely incredible."
"These young players truly know how to play."
"I really believe in Feiyue’s young players. Keep pushing hard, Shuangjiang’s done for. This Xia Super League ticket should rightfully belong to the youth!"
"Feiyue Football Club, go for it!"
"Looks like I need to switch allegiance to Feiyue Football Club—what trash Shuangjiang has become."
"Times have changed. These young players genuinely have a chance. That said, while they’re doing great now, their future is uncertain. Based on the domestic environment, even the most passionate young players may eventually turn into another Shuangjiang, prioritizing money over the sport. Hang in there, young folks—keep chasing your dreams."
"Does Shuangjiang still think they’re invincible in Mist City? Sorry, *grown-ups*, times have changed!"
Because of Shuangjiang’s appalling performance, Feiyue Football Club’s popularity skyrocketed among the viewers.
In fact, some Shuangjiang fans were ready to switch their support to Feiyue Football Club. As expected, Feiyue Football Club never let down those who believed in them. In the 29th minute, their young players broke through Shuangjiang’s defense once again and scored another goal!
The cheers from the crowd grew even louder than for the first goal. After scoring twice consecutively, it was clear Feiyue’s young players were wholeheartedly playing their best.
Meanwhile, Shuangjiang’s so-called professional players seemed clueless—using the viewers’ words, it felt like they were just out shopping.
Indeed, Shuangjiang’s performance resembled taking a leisurely stroll more than playing football.
Near the end of the first half, Feiyue’s young squad launched another offensive. Although it was blocked, they quickly regrouped, gaining strength for a second wave. This time, Shuangjiang failed to hold their ground. Even their goalkeeper was misled by his own teammate’s feint, diving in the wrong direction for what should’ve been an easy save.
At halftime, the score was 3-0, with Mist City Arts and Science University’s Feiyue Football Club temporarily in the lead.
The audience in the stadium and online fans alike were completely disappointed in Shuangjiang.
"This is it?"
They couldn’t even beat a college team—it wouldn’t be surprising if they just disbanded. That was the prevailing sentiment among the fans.
During the halftime break, Ding Yue made his way from the stands to the locker room, where the players were busy analyzing the first-half performance and communicating with their coach to prepare for the second half.
Seeing how seriously the players were treating this match—even using their halftime rest for reflections and planning—Ding Yue didn’t have the heart to interrupt them.
When the break ended and the players were heading back to the field, they noticed Ding Yue was in the locker room.
"Principal Ding?"
The players greeted Principal Ding with sincere respect.
"You did well in the first half, everyone, but stay alert in the second half. While maintaining your lead, make sure to defend our side too. I appreciate all your hard work."
Ding Yue gave the players a brief pep talk.
Since he wasn’t a professional football coach, he couldn’t offer detailed, technical advice.
"Understood!"
The players responded in unison.
"Alright, then go show them what you’ve got. Good luck!" Ding Yue kept it short and encouraged them.
The second half—a chance to see whether Shuangjiang Football Club still had any skills left, or if they were indeed ready to throw in the towel.
