Chapter 4 The Contest Begins

On an August afternoon, the sun is shining and a breeze blowing, bringing not coolness, but a slight heat wave.

In the heat of midsummer, the outdoor temperature has reached 35 degrees, which is not suitable for strenuous exercise.

Excessively high temperatures can cause dehydration, heat stroke and other unexpected situations. However, Chen Xiaojian and the others still have to have a friendly match in such an environment.

I wanted to play two games in a row in one afternoon, and the opposing City Park team had to rush back in the evening, so I had to arrange it this way.

But after all, it's just a warm-up game, so the confrontation, exercise intensity, etc. will definitely not be so demanding. So I can barely cope with one game.

Despite this, for safety reasons, the two sides still agreed that there would only be 40 minutes in both halves and no stoppage time. Over the course of the game, there is a time for each half to drink water and sugar.

The specific time can be decided by the referee according to the situation on the field and the opportunity to choose a dead ball.

Since it is not an official match, there is no such thing as an opening of an official match such as a handshake.

Only the captains of both sides stood up and simply shook hands and greeted, and then guessed the side. Because the stadium is a north and south field, in fact, whether it is picked on that side, the impact on both sides is not very large.

In this way, the side that guesses incorrectly will get the opportunity to attack first and be relatively more advantageous.

Song Yingjie tightened the captain's armband on his arm, came to the middle circle of the court, and stood beside the referee Feng Hao on the field.

The captain of the opposite City Park team also came to the middle circle to stand in the middle circle, the captain of the City Park team is a student of Yancheng Vocational College, he has been in the team for a long time, his running and footwork are relatively good, and because he is not very old, everyone else in the team likes him very much. That's why I've been the captain of the team.

After all, it's just an amateur team, and playing together is more about fun, so it's rarely mixed with messy things like locker room fights in professional teams.

Because of this, the amateur team does not need the kind of iron-blooded captain with a strong personality, but a "good old man" captain, so as to act as a lubricant in all the players.

In addition, amateur teams like City Park are not particularly fixed and relatively mobile, so such captains can also help new players integrate into the team.

And Chen Xiaojian is different, Chen Xiaojian's school team's goal is to win the championship in the high school league, so in the appointment and dismissal of the captain, it must be carefully considered to weigh all aspects of the situation.

In Chen Xiaojian's heart, Song Yingjie, Lin Hengfeng, Li Yanfeng and Ding Yanyi all have the potential to become captains.

These four players themselves are the central axis of the team in Chen Xiaojian's heart, one is the defensive core, the other is the offensive core, and the other is the team's offensive and defensive metronome, and Ding Yanyi is because of his special position.

The goalkeeper is a position that is hardly rotated, and it is also the reason why the captain of many teams is the goalkeeper.

So what Chen Xiaojian needs to do is to weigh who is more suitable for the position of team captain through the performance of the friendly match.

In Chen Xiaojian's heart, he didn't want to have a captain echelon like a professional team. The average professional team will have at least three captains, that is, the captain, the vice-captain, and the third captain.

The advantage of this is that it is conducive to sorting out the locker room relationship, stabilizing the locker room, and at the same time, after the rotation or substitution, there will be no temporary captain on the field.

And Chen Xiaojian feels that his team itself is not very many, and there is no so-called locker room fight, so the team only needs two captains, one captain and one team vice-president.

In this way, it can completely satisfy the team's constant captain on the field when rotating players, which can better stabilize the team's mood.

It just so happened that Chen Xiaojian and they were going to play four games this time, so Chen Xiaojian was going to let Song Yingjie take turns as the captain of the team, and then let the players vote at the end to elect the team's captain and vice-president.

Song Yingjie wore the captain's armband for the first time, so he was a little nervous, and he was a little unaccustomed to it, and from time to time he had to reach out and tighten the armband on his arm.

And the captain of the City Park team next to Song Yingjie is much calmer, he is already an old fritter, so naturally he will not be like a junior brother like Song Yingjie.

Song Yingjie and the other party reached out and shook hands, standing face to face, Feng Hao stood between the two, looked at the two, and asked, "Are you all ready?"

Song Yingjie and the two nodded, saying that it was okay, no problem.

Feng Hao said: "Okay, then let's start guessing the coin now." The correct side can pick the side, and the wrong side will kick off first. Got it?"

Song Yingjie and the two laughed and said, "Understood." ”

Feng Hao snorted, then took out a one-yuan coin from his pants pocket and said, "The front is a word, and the back is a flower." Then he put the coin on his right thumb, and with a flick of his thumb, the coin spun and flew into the air, and then fell.

Feng Hao stretched out his left hand, caught the coin with the back of his hand, covered it with his right hand, and asked, "Let's choose one." ”

Song Yingjie said: "Words." Song Yingjie said, so if the other party does not object, it means that it agrees to choose flowers.

Feng Hao saw that both sides had no opinions, and then moved his right hand, it was the word, Song Yingjie chose the side, and the other party kicked off.

Although there is not much difference because the court is north-south, there is still some impact, that is, in the second half, the sun is a little westerly, so it is naturally more beneficial to the players in the corresponding position in the west.

Song Yingjie didn't know the strength of the other party, so he could only rely on his own understanding of the team's strength to pick sides.

Song Yingjie picked the south side, so that Song Yingjie attacked from the south to the north in the first half, and after the two sides changed sides in the second half, they were changed to attack from the south.

At this time, the right side of the team, that is, Shi Xiaoyu's position, will occupy a certain advantage, becoming a breaking point, and the direction of the shade is also more conducive to Shi Xiaoyu's passing and receiving balls.

After Song Yingjie finished picking the side, it was the City Park team that got the first offensive start, and the kick-off was now.

The referee waved his right hand, Song Yingjie and the two returned to their teams, and the players on both sides began to stand up.

Two City Park forwards stand in the center circle ready to kick off.

The referee saw that both teams were ready, so he put the whistle in his mouth, stretched his hands forward, and blew the whistle vigorously.

"Toot", a long sound, the game officially began.

With a whistle, the two City Park forwards passed the ball to each other, then passed the ball to the midfielder behind them, and the two men ran straight forward.

Song Yingjie and the others immediately rushed to the opposite side, and the two teams were immediately entangled together.
