Chapter 172: The Game Begins

When the official staff and the sponsor's representative, each holding one ear of the trophy, walked out of the players' tunnel and placed the trophy on the display stand, the audience burst into applause for the first time.

This is a round of applause to the officials, who have done a lot in order to promote the sport of football in limited conditions.

This is a round of applause for the sponsors, and it is Nike who took over and revitalized the high school league when the high school soccer league was in trouble.

This is a round of applause for the two teams that will participate in the finals, and although the vast majority of them are not fans of these two teams, they want to give a round of applause to these two teams who fought all the way to the finals.

It's a round of applause for all of them, many of them are not fans of Dagang or Ben Cheng, but they are willing to pay for tickets to watch a game that not many people pay attention to, because they love the sport of football and they deserve it.

The applause of the audience of 8,000 people rang out, and the officials and representatives of the sponsors were a little excited, raising their hands and applauding with them.

They can all be called professionals, they have seen a bigger scene than this game, they have seen a more frenetic atmosphere than the scene. But the previous games, that kind of atmosphere, didn't bring them too much excitement, they are also half a football circle, those are already commonplace for them.

But today, but now, they were touched by the eight thousand fans in the scene. Yes, 8,000 fans, except for the 100 tickets given to the two teams, the other fans who came to watch the game bought tickets to watch the game, and the organizer's Plan B was not implemented before.

At this time, the Dagang team, who was still in the locker room and had just changed their jerseys, heard the applause on the field. Even if they are in the home team's locker room, even if the home team's dressing room is well soundproofed, but at this moment, everyone heard the applause from the field.

The Dagang team heard it, and the Bincheng team in the away team's locker room naturally heard it.

The players of both teams were a little stunned for a while, and no one spoke. They were a little frightened. The biggest battle they've ever experienced was a stadium with hundreds of people, something they'd never seen before, even if it was just applause.

The applause rang out for a long time before it stopped, and both dressing rooms were silent, and at this time, the managers of both teams said the same sentence and made the same action.

"Go ahead, enjoy the game and win glory. ”

The two of them pulled open the locker room door and walked out first, and then the players of both teams rushed out and walked down the aisle to the players' tunnel.

Chen Xiaojian and Lin Zize, the head coach of the Bincheng team, met in the players' tunnel, neither of them expected to meet here, generally there is always a front and a back, the two were stunned for a moment before reaching out and shaking each other's hands at the same time.

After Chen Xiaojian and Lin Zize made a friendly gesture, they both stood still. The two people don't even know each other, and if it weren't for this game, two people who are thousands of miles apart would not necessarily meet each other in their lives.

After the two paused for a moment and saw that the other party did not move, they stretched out their hands at the same time and said, "You please first." ”

The two of them acted exactly like their words, and after looking at each other, they both laughed, and then said at the same time: "Together?"

At this moment, the two of them couldn't help laughing, and then walked into the court together, and after leaving the players' tunnel, they walked to their coach's bench left and right.

After Chen Xiaojian and the two came to the coach's bench, the substitute players also walked from the players' tunnel to the bench behind the coach's box.

The starters of the two teams are lined up in two teams in the player tunnel under the leadership of the captain of the team, and there is no communication between each other, this is not a friendly match, this is the final finals, standing here, everyone is an opponent, and can only be an opponent.

Song Yingjie and the captain of the Bincheng team, who were standing in front, had the captain's armband wrapped around their arms and held the team flag in one hand.

The team flag is actually the school flag, but it is made in the shape of a hand-held pennant. Both men held their heads high and looked straight ahead, not to mention the opposition players, not even the players of their own team.

At this moment, in their hearts, there are only competitions, victories, and championships.

Standing at the front are three referees, the referee with a football in his hand and the assistant referee with a small flag in his hand.

After a while, twenty-two children came from behind, and the organizers had hired them to act as caddies.

Twenty-two children wore jerseys of the same color as the two teams, and then crossed over and stood next to the players of both teams.

At this time, even Song Yingjie, who had been expressionless just now, lowered his head and smiled, rubbed the child's head, and then pulled him in front of him.

The referee looked at his watch, the time was almost up, and after turning his head to greet the two assistant referees, he signaled to the captains of the two teams behind him and prepared to enter the field.

The three referees walked out first, and the two teams of players behind them each led a child behind the referee and walked into the court.

When you get to the center circle, the three referees stand side by side, facing the direction of the stands. Players from both teams also stood in a row on the side of the referee.

After everyone stood still, the school songs of the two teams began to be played. Chen Xiaojian and the others were actually very unfamiliar with the school song before, so unfamiliar that Chen Xiaojian didn't remember that he had learned the so-called school song.

The school song was only learned once when I entered the school in my first year of high school, and after so much time, I naturally forgot it. Later, when I read the announcement, I knew that the school songs of the two teams would be played before the finals, so Chen Xiaojian and the others picked up the school songs again. (I did, I learned, I forgot)

The duration of the school song is relatively short, not as long as a pop song, but almost a little more than a minute. Because the Dagang team is the home team, the school song of Dagang Middle School is played first, and then the school song of Bincheng Middle School.

When the school song was played, the coaches and substitutes on both sides also stood in a row on the sidelines, humming softly.

In fact, there are really few opportunities to sing the school song, and in Chen Xiaojian's impression, this should be the only time to sing the school song in public.

The school song, which I originally thought was very earthy and frustrating, is now sung, but it has a different taste. At this moment, they are not only representing themselves, they are representing Dagang Middle School.

After the school songs of both teams were played, the caddies began to leave the field in an orderly manner. The starters of both teams began to line up for photos.

After the photo was taken, the captains of the two teams exchanged team flags, then shook hands with the three referees in turn, and then shook hands with their opponents. Although everyone thinks of the champion, at this time, it is also necessary to show that friendship comes first.

After these procedures were in place, the captains of both teams stood up, came to the referee's side, and began to guess the side.

After guessing the edge, the two teams ran to their own half of the court and set up their positions. The referee looked at his watch, and after the time, he raised his hand.

A whistle blew "beep", and the high school football league finals officially kicked off.
