Chapter 156: Advance to the Southern District Finals
It's a good thing that the game was won, and the Dagang team has entered the top four in the south region and the top eight in the country after winning two games in a row. But the victories in these two games made Chen Xiaojian feel a little strange, and there was an indescribable weirdness.
After Chen Xiaojian took the video of the game, he held the video there to analyze it every day as long as he was free, but no matter how he analyzed, it seemed that he could only say that the victory of the game was classified as accident and luck.
If it's just a goal, if it's just a game, Chen Xiaojian might really feel that. But now it's two games in a row and more than five goals, so it's not just luck.
Chen Xiaojian hopes to find the real reason through the video, but there are only two games, and the special situation of the first game against the Lin'an team must be taken into account. The videos add up to only one hundred and eighty minutes, and Chen Xiaojian looked over and over again and found no so-called reason.
Of course, Chen Xiaojian hoped that the reason why he won two games in a row was because the strength of the Dagang team was strong enough, but he couldn't convince himself like this. Because these two games do seem to have a lot of luck involved.
In such a situation, the third race of the national race south came unexpectedly. The Dagang team played away from home against the Huacheng team of Nanyue Province.
An opponent like the Huacheng team is a little special, not because Huacheng is too strong or something, but because of a very objective fact.
Huaxia is too big, although Yancheng and Huacheng are both southern cities, they are very far away from each other. From Yancheng to Huacheng, if you take a bus, it will take about 20 hours.
If Chen Xiaojian and the others were to take a twenty-hour car ride to participate in the competition, in Chen Xiaojian's opinion, there was no need to play this game at all, and Chen Xiaojian and them would directly admit defeat.
If the distance between the two cities is within a certain range, then the away team will have to go to the home team's city or stadium to complete the match.
And if it's like the current situation, there are two ways. One is that the Dagang team normally goes to Huacheng to participate in the competition, and the other is that the Dagang team makes an application, and then the organizer reviews and selects a third-party stadium.
If the organizer approves the review, then the two sides can play at a third-party venue that is relatively close to each other, and the third-party venue is determined by the home team.
After Chen Xiaojian saw the opponent of the game, he decisively chose the game at the third-party venue. The Huacheng team is also very gentlemanly, and they agreed to come down without too much entanglement.
The venue of the competition was arranged in Hongdu, Jiangyou Province, so that the distance between the two sides is about the same, and Hongdu Middle School and Huacheng Middle School are brother middle schools, and they have deep cooperation in many aspects.
Although the venue of the competition has been changed from Huacheng to Hongdu, it is still a little far from Yancheng. After Chen Xiaojian applied to the organizer, he had to apply with the school.
Chen Xiaojian needs to apply to go to Hongdu one day in advance, and if he wants to go again on the day of the competition, Chen Xiaojian is afraid that it will be too late.
Although Chen Xiaojian wants to apply, such an application is more of a process, and the school will approve it as long as it is not deliberately difficult.
In this way, Chen Xiaojian and the others set off a day in advance and went to the competition venue, Hongdu. Chen Xiaojian and the others set off a day earlier, and the same was true for the Huacheng team.
The two teams arrived in Hongdu separately, and after arriving, they were arranged in the same hotel. In fact, this is also normal, after all, as a middle school, there are still relatively few such reception jobs, so there is often only one partner.
Now this is the first time that two teams and more than 30 people have come at the same time. The two parties stayed in the same hotel, so it was natural to look up and not look down. In order to prevent undue friction between the two teams, both teams have strict accommodation management.
Early the next morning, the Dagang team and the Huacheng team went to Hongdu Middle School for training. When you come to an unfamiliar stadium, you still have to get familiar with it, especially the Dagang team. Although the Huacheng team is also very unfamiliar with the court, it is much better than the Dagang team.
Both teams spent the morning familiarizing themselves with the pitch and warm-up sessions, and neither team showed much tactical training in training because they were training at the same time.
After dinner in the afternoon, the two teams began to do warm-up exercises, and after the warm-up, under the leadership of the referee, the two sides entered the court, and the game officially began.
In this game, Chen Xiaojian did not make too many arrangements, and it was still a defensive counterattack formation. Until the reason is found, the Dagang team played a standard 4-2-3-1 counter-attack.
There is nothing wrong with being safe, but as long as you don't make mistakes, then it is not easy to lose.
After the game started, the situation on the field did not go in the direction that Chen Xiaojian hoped for, and Chen Xiaojian miscalculated.
After the game started, the two sides played back and forth for a few rounds, and everyone was an old fritter, so it was better to explore the truth.
In the fifteenth minute of the game, the rhythm of the two sides really came up. However, it was still the Dagang team that scored first.
After Gong Chang received Li Yanfeng's pass, he scored with a push and opened the scoring for the Dagang team. Gong Chang further cemented his title as the team's top scorer.
In the 35th minute, the Dagang team scored again to expand the lead of the score, and Gong Chang scored twice. After that, until the end of the first half, neither side was able to change the score again.
In the second half, both sides scored one goal each, and the score was fixed at 3:1, and the Dagang team defeated the Huacheng team to advance to the South Region finals.
Although both teams scored one goal each in the second half, it was the first goal scored by the Dagang team, which rewrote the score to 3:0. After that, the Dragon City team pulled a goal back, and it was just to save some face.
Three games, three victories, the Dagang team advanced to the national competition for the first time, and advanced to the final of the southern region of the national competition with three wins.
Once the Dagang team defeats their opponent in the South Zone Finals, then the Dagang team will advance to the National Finals.
There is one game left before the finals, and one more opponent. On Chen Xiaojian's way back, they knew who the opponent of the game was, the first strongest team in the Southern District, the Modu team.
The Modu team is one of the top teams in the Southern District, and if you just look at the ranking of the game, the Modu team can be called the first strong team in the Southern District.
Chen Xiaojian and the others went back to school after it was already the next day, and it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon after the game, if they went back at this time, then it would be the early morning of the next day when they arrived in Dagang.
So early the next morning, the Dagang team chose to return. The Dagang team set off early, Chen Xiaojian saw the school bus of the Huacheng team, and they didn't go back yesterday, and stayed for one more day like Chen Xiaojian.
After returning to school, it was already evening, and Chen Xiaojian went back with the video recorder.
Now that there are three videos of the game, Chen Xiaojian feels that in this way, he should be able to see the clue.
After Chen Xiaojian returned home, he sat in front of the TV and began to watch the video. While looking at it, I was writing something down in my notebook.
The day passed like this, and it was April Fool's Day.
