Chapter 31: The First Battle I

Chen Xiaojian took the initiative and said hello to the opponent's head coach very politely, which Chen Xiaojian learned from those professional coaches on TV.

Generally, as long as it is not a match between mortal enemies, before and after the game, the head coaches of both sides will greet each other in a friendly manner, showing their respective gentlemanly demeanor.

I don't know if it's sincere when I say hello, especially after the game.

If the game wins, it's okay to say, but the side that loses the game will definitely not be in a good mood, and at this time he has to shake hands with the opposing coach with a smile, who knows what he thinks in his heart?

After Chen Xiaojian and Zheng Leshui said hello, they returned to their side, standing on the sidelines and watching the players warm up on the field.

After a while, Mr. Gu came over with four people in black sportswear, looking at the clothes and the equipment in the hands of the four people, these four were the referees of the game.

The four referees came to the sidelines and shook hands with Chen Xiaojian and Zheng Leshui, which was regarded as a greeting.

Chen Xiaojian and Zheng Leshui both took out a piece of paper, and on the paper was the list of players for today's game.

There can be up to eighteen players on the roster, with the starting eleven plus seven substitutes.

Chen Xiaojian submitted a list of 16 people, and Zheng Leshui provided a list of exactly 18 people.

Chen Xiaojian arranged a regular starter in this game, playing a 4-2-3-1 formation, goalkeeper No. 1 Ding Yanyi, four defenders No. 2 Li Bing, No. 4 Lin Hengfeng, No. 5 Li Bing, No. 3 Bian Yuanya, double back No. 6 Song Yingjie, No. 8 Liu Hui, front foursome No. 7 Shen Si, No. 11 Shi Xiaoyu, No. 10 Li Yanfeng, No. 9 Gong Chang.

Ninghai Middle School arranged a very conventional 4-4-2 starting formation for this game, goalkeeper No. 1 Zhu Chengzhou, four defenders Sun Xingxiu, Chen Hui, Zhao Huaqing, Xue Qi, four midfielders Guan Leshan and Gao Hai partnered in the middle, and the wingers were Jiang Feiyu and Ma Xuehai. The two strikers are Wu Yingda and Zhang Chuan, of which Wu Yingda's position is slightly back, playing a forward midfielder or shadow striker position.

Time: 13:50

Location: Dagang Middle School Football Field

The first high school league game of the Dagang Middle School team was about to start, and at this time, there were already some people sitting in the originally empty stands.

The number of people is not very large, it looks scattered, and it is obviously not a unified organization, and it is estimated that there are only a few dozen people.

These are all first-year high school students who were attracted by Chen Xiaojian's movements when they warmed up.

Because the sophomore and junior years of high school have already started, even on Saturdays, they have to go to class, and the school has not made any special arrangements because of Chen Xiaojian's first game, so the students in the second and third years of high school have no time to come over to watch Chen Xiaojian's first game.

The reason why the freshmen in the first year of high school were able to come over to watch Chen Xiaojian's game was because the students in the first year of high school had not yet started classes.

They have a month-long military training, so they can rest on Saturdays and Sundays, but this is also a good day when the military training is over.

Chen Xiaojian put his hands in his pockets and watched the players of both teams enter the field. The students in the stands behind him can only see Chen Xiaojian's back, although he wears a suit on a hot day and feels a little better, but if he only looks at the back, he is still very handsome.

Song Yingjie and Zhao Huaqing, as the captains of both teams, led the players of both sides into the field behind the referee.

Zhao Huaqing is a veteran player of the Ninghai school team, and this year is already his third year of high school, and it is also his last high school league.

And according to the results of the Ninghai school team in previous years, there is no hope of qualifying, and it is precisely for this reason that the captain of the team will be appointed to a high school junior like Zhao Huaqing.

If the team has good grades, for example, the captains of the Yancheng Middle School team or the Yancheng No. 1 Middle School team are both sophomores.

The reason is also very understandable, once the team enters the provincial qualifiers or even the national competition, the competition period is extended, so it is difficult for high school juniors to choose to play in the high school league when facing the pressure of the college entrance examination.

Often their choice is to give up the high school league and concentrate on preparing for the college entrance examination. If the captain is a senior in high school, then it is likely that he will have to face the problem of all-out handover within the team.

In order to avoid such a situation, the captains of some traditional strong teams are often sophomores in high school.

Of course, a strange team like Chen Xiaojian is not among them, and Chen Xiaojian, as a new army, cannot be said to be a traditional strong team at all.

And in the eyes of other teams, Chen Xiaojian, these new teams, are more likely to be the targets of their points.

The two teams stopped as they reached the center circle, and then the two teams stood separately on the left and right sides of the referee.

Then Song Yingjie and the others shook hands with the referee and Zhao Huaqing in turn because they were at home.

After shaking hands, there was no pre-game group photo, and then Song Yingjie and Zhao Huaqing came to the referee to guess the side, and Song Yingjie lost and kicked off first.

After Zhao Huaqing picked the side, the players on both sides scattered and stood in a tactical position, and the game was about to start.

After the players on both sides were ready, the referee looked at his watch, then put the whistle in his mouth, blew it, and with the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

Gong Chang and Li Yanfeng stood in the middle circle to kick off, Li Yanfeng passed the ball back to Song Yingjie, asked Song Yingjie to organize the attack, and the two of them rushed to the back of the Ninghai team.

Song Yingjie and Liu Hui passed between them, controlled the ball, and waited for the players of the Ninghai team to press up.

After the players of the Ninghai team pressed it, Song Yingjie passed the ball to Lin Hengfeng behind him, and then moved forward to move forward to force Wu Yingda.

After Lin Hengfeng received the ball, he passed it back to Song Yingjie, who had already given way to the position, Song Yingjie took the ball directly and passed a long pass to Li Yanfeng, who had pressed behind the central defender of the Ninghai team.

Li Yanfeng looked at the incoming ball, and Gao Hai had already forced it over at this time. Li Yanfeng saw that there was no space around Gong Chang, so he directly stretched out his feet and passed the ball directly to Shen Si, who came up on the left side, and then continued to run forward.

Shen Si directly knocked back to Li Yanfeng, who was plugged in, and made a wall collision with Li Yanfeng, and had already passed the defense of Guan Leshan and Gao Hai, and faced the defenders of the Ninghai team.

Gong Chang ran to the left, took the central defender away, and opened up space for Li Yanfeng. Li Yanfeng saw Gong Chang running to the left, took a step directly to the right, pulled away with Gong Chang, staggered an empty position, and shot directly with his feet.

However, although Gong Chang's running position took away Chen Hui, the captain Zhao Huaqing was experienced, and Zhao Huaqing directly shook Gong Chang's side, but he did not lose his position, and after seeing Li Yanfeng get up, he turned sideways to block the ball.
