Entering the knockout stage, there is no trade-off between wins, draws, and losses. When the narrow road meets, the brave wins, and only by winning can we continue to move forward. The knockout rounds are brutal and some teams may be strong but don't play well in this game. With a lack of luck, if you score a goal against your opponent, you can be eliminated.

In the past many World Championships, there are many typical examples. Strong and strong in the group stage. However, after entering the knockout round, a strong team that was unexpectedly terminated because of a certain game. It happens at almost every tournament.

This single-elimination format is more advantageous for weak teams. Some teams are well aware that the strength of their own team is limited. Against strong teams, the tactics of placing buses in the backfield are used. There is not a single player left in the front court, and all of them are cowered in their own backfield. Try not to lose the goal, and rely on two or three people to counterattack quickly when you have the chance. Do not seek merit, but seek no fault. dragged to the end, and the penalty was decided.

For a strong team, maybe 10 games, the strong team has a great chance of winning 9 of them. But sometimes because of a poor performance, tears are shed on the green field. I had no choice but to go home with great reluctance.

Based on this, there is an annual cup in the world, and it is also the hottest cup, the European Champions Cup. A fairer home-and-away format was used, and it was not until the final that it reverted to a decisive victory.

Every time the European Champions Cup has been won by a strong team. There is never a small ball club with low comprehensive strength, and all the giants invest huge amounts of money every year to recruit, often aiming for more than the championship of the domestic league. The bigger goal is to be on top of Europe.

After the test of the group stage, the coaches, players and many supporters of the Modu University of Finance and Economics team are full of confidence in this school team. Many people are looking forward to their team, and finally standing on the highest podium to be crowned the highest honor in Modu college football.

Several strong veteran teams of the Modu University of Finance and Economics are also paying close attention to the emerging Modu University of Finance and Economics team. After analysis, the advantages of the Modu University of Finance and Economics team were discovered. The lineup of Modu University of Finance and Economics last year was already relatively neat, and there were no obvious shortcomings. At that time, it was just that some of the players lacked experience, and in the knockout round, they unfortunately lost.

This year is completely different, and all the main forces from last year are still there. The main players who seemed immature at the time, judging from the group stage this time, have shown their technical and tactical sophistication. Movements, movements, and defense have been reduced by mistakes. The bench has also been well replenished.

But the most critical factor is a newcomer to the Modu University of Finance and Economics team this year. This newcomer was called the newcomer king of the magic capital before the game, and many people still scoffed at this title, thinking that it was nothing more than a good thing to brag about.

However, judging from the first two games of the group stage, the strength shown by this so-called rookie king not only did not boast, but was stronger than rumored. As the saying goes, the layman looks at the liveliness, and the insiders look at the doorway.

The coaches and players who went to the scene to watch Li Xuanning's game were all amazed by the bull break. The perfect body, speed, power, bounce, technique, movement, awareness, and team-mate coordination all surpass the level of college football. The most important thing is that the ability to grasp opportunities is superb. Compared with professional players, some senior coaches believe that at present, domestic professional players cannot find players with such excellent comprehensive strength. This student has the strength to gain a foothold in the five major European leagues, and is even stronger than the main striker of many middle and lower teams in the five major leagues.

Before the knockout round, the atmosphere in the circle of Modu University Football was more enthusiastic than in previous years. Due to this World Cup, the Chinese men's football team, under the leadership of the legendary coach Lao Mi, successfully broke out of Asia and made history as the top 32 of the World Cup in Japan and South Korea. The popularity of domestic football has reached an unprecedented boiling point. Many people who used to only pay attention to basketball, volleyball, table tennis and other sports have begun to follow the football craze and join the fiery atmosphere of football.

The strength shown by the football team of Modu University of Finance and Economics is certainly not ignored by the school leadership. After the meeting and discussion, we will strongly support the school football team to seize the opportunity and strive to create good results. Give full support to the school team members in class attendance during the competition, and inform all professional disciplines that the final exam score of this semester should be appropriately relaxed. Increase financial support for the training and participation of the school football team.

From top to bottom, the goal is very consistent, that is, unity and hard work, brave achievements, and the sword is aimed at the championship.

The first match of the round of 16 of the Modu University Football Tournament is Modu University of Finance and Economics VS Handong University of Science and Technology.

Handong Institute of Technology also qualified from the group in the last competition, but like Modu University of Finance and Economics, it stopped at 16-8 in the competition. They are also looking to go one step further and hope to get past their opponents and make it to the quarter-finals.

Entering the knockout stage, every game is highly anticipated, and the football field is crowded with students and enthusiasts who come to watch the game. The number of people present is supposed to be more than 4,000.

In this game, neither side dared to hold it up. In the context of the attention of the leaders and the attention of everyone, there is no room for the slightest slack! Both sides are all the main force debuting, and strive to show the spirit of the team.

Li Xuanning appeared in his familiar position, left winger. Naturally, he was the focus on the pitch. Nothing is the opponent on the field, or the audience off the field, openly and secretly, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are focused on the No. 7 player of Modu University of Finance and Economics.

After kick-off, through the inverted foot pass, the football was quickly handed over to Li Xuanning, No. 7 of Modu University of Finance and Economics. I saw that he calmly led the ball and did not choose to hand it over immediately. Directly facing the defenders of the Handong University of Science and Technology, he slowly advanced with the ball, his eyes observing the opponent's defensive position.

Li Xuanning sensed that there was room for a breakthrough in the opponent's position, and instantly started up, accelerating the breakthrough with the ball. Use speed and position to get past the opposing midfielder and continue to rush. When the full-backs pounced on the defense, an inside cut broke through the middle.

The focus of the opponent's defense is to prevent the breakthrough of No. 7 of Modu University of Finance and Economics. According to the tactical arrangement before the game, the back players and central defenders of Handong University of Science and Technology quickly approached and tried to pinch Li Xuanning.

Even so, the No. 7 player of Modu University of Finance and Economics carried the ball away from the opponent's back player, broke through the defense of the central defender, and rushed towards the big penalty area.

The central defender who was broken through, in desperation, could only use foul tactics to stop Li Xuanning's forward momentum. The referee blew the whistle without hesitation, but did not show the card, and gave a direct free kick to Modu University of Finance and Economics.

The penalty spot is about 10 meters away from the penalty area and at an angle of 45 degrees to the goal. This distance is still a little too far for college students. The average player takes a free kick at such a distance and hits the goal directly without power.

Placing the ball at the penalty spot, the other members of the Modu University of Finance and Economics team did not come forward at all, only Li Xuanning stood in front of the football alone. Waiting for the opponent to arrange the human wall, but also waiting for the referee's whistle.

The human wall was finally lined up, and the opposing goalkeeper was satisfied, and he was fully prepared in front of the goal. For such a long-distance free kick, he is still very confident and sure that he can protect the goal.

With a whistle, Li Xuanning, No. 7 of the Modu University of Finance and Economics team, who was standing about 5 meters in front of the football, took a deep breath and accelerated towards the football.

I saw him kick an inside spin ball, and chose the near top corner. The soccer ball went around the jumping wall and sped towards the top right corner of the goal.

The audience was silent at the moment, holding their breath and nervously watching the inward spin ball at a tricky angle.

The goalkeeper of the Handong University of Science and Technology team is eager to step on a heel cloud under his feet, or have the stunt of longevity Arhat. It's a pity that he didn't, watching the football draw a beautiful arc and go straight to the dead end.

The players and supporters of the Modu University of Finance team are waiting for the football to get into the net, and they are ready to celebrate the goal. However, with a loud bang, the ball hit the post and bounced back into the six-yard box, and the defenders rushed to clear it.

Such a beautiful curve ball actually hit the post and did not score, and the supporters on the field sighed. The other exhaled.

Seeing that the curling ball he kicked didn't score, Li Xuanning also laughed at himself, and then turned around and jogged towards the left midfield.

The defenders of the Handong Institute of Technology cleared the ball to the vicinity of the halfcourt, and due to the defense of free kicks, 9 percent of their troops were still in the backfield at this time, and the football was controlled by the Modu University of Finance and Economics team. After getting the ball, he was not in a hurry to attack the frontcourt, after all, most of the opponent's players were still cowering in the backcourt. There wasn't much room to attack, so he simply passed between the midfield and his own back.

The midfielders of the Handong Institute of Technology began to run to their positions, and when they were basically in place, the forwards and midfielders put pressure on the possessor.

However, at this moment, the defender of Modu University of Finance and Economics, who is also their captain's classmate, saw Li Xuanning move to the middle of the left midfielder and the defensive area of the defender, and it happened that there were no followers around him. The captain saw the right moment and passed the ball.

This is a semi-high ball, Li Xuanning unloaded the ball with his chest, and the moment the football landed, he led it forward, and the action was done in one go.

At the moment when the captain passed the ball, Wang Peng, the forward of the Modu University of Finance and Economics team, and Kang Yi, the striker, understood it and ran to the vacant space in the front court. He was also followed by right winger Li Bi.

The Handong University of Science and Technology team was like a big enemy, and the midfielders who had just run to the midfield were hurried to their backfield.

While leading the ball well, Li Xuanning also observed the real-time position of the opponent's backcourt, and also used his peripheral vision to look at the movement of the enemy on the right side and diagonally behind. He accelerated to the penalty area, and the central defenders of Handong University of Science and Technology also rushed up to intercept, and the back waist accelerated to chase after him.
