**********

Li Mu came to Yuying Middle School again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He walked to the school gate and looked at the security guard in the guard room, although today is Saturday, but this does not mean that people from other schools can enter and exit at will, the system of Yuying Middle School is very strict, you can enter and exit the school on Saturdays and Sundays without wearing school uniforms, but you must bring your student ID card of the school.

Li Mu, a student from another school, naturally does not have a student ID card of Yuying Middle School, but he has other methods. He walked to the security booth and said to the security guard who was reading the newspaper inside: "Hello, I am the football team of Xinguang Middle School, I heard that you are going to play a game here today, I was invited to come to the scene to watch, this is my invitation certificate." ”

He handed over the invitation certificate given to him by Zhang Shujie, which was not written by Zhang Shujie, but was written by Coach An Rong to Li Mu by him. Zhang Shujie is just a team member, and what he writes obviously cannot be used as a certificate for people from other schools to enter the school, but An Rong is different, he is the coach of the school's football team, and his voice is equivalent to that of the grade director.

The security guard looked at the certificate, called and asked An Rong about it, and then asked Li Mu to show his student ID card to prove that he was indeed the one who was invited, and only after everything was true did he let Li Mu enter the school.

Li Mu walked to the court, and he saw that the team had not officially played, and there were already many people sitting in the stands, leaving only a few vacant seats. Li Mu was a little surprised, there were so many people watching a warm-up match on Saturday.

What he didn't know was that this was the first game after the rebuilding of the high school football team of Yuying Middle School, and the school was also very concerned. The principal's task for An Rong is to only win, not lose! After obtaining permission from the school, the school's sports office asked each class in the school to organize some people to watch the game, which was regarded as cheering for the team.

At first, the class teachers were extremely opposed, especially Yao Mengyin, who was the loudest, believing that this move seriously affected the normal learning of other students. The school sports office gave an explanation: The competition was held on Saturday, how could it affect learning? Besides, the principal has also agreed, so teachers should not object anymore.

The principal, Chrysostom, has been opened, and the teachers have no other choice but to arrange for the class leader and the sports committee to organize the students to watch the game.

Li Mu walked to the stands and casually found a vacant seat to sit down. He looked at the sky, it was 16:00 in the afternoon, the sun was not very strong, so he waited quietly in his position for the game to start.

Mingyang High School had only arrived a few minutes earlier, and they had to take some time to familiarize themselves with the venue, so the start of the game had to be delayed by 15 minutes. At this point, they had just changed their jerseys and were ready to play.

The Mingyang High School soccer team has a decent record in the city, making it to several national tournaments, most recently three years ago. There are also several strong players in the current team, such as their captain No. 7 Yuan Hong, as well as their main striker No. 11 Xu Bo and central defender No. 5 Sun Zekang.

On the court, the players of Mingyang High School were already doing some simple warm-ups. On the other side of the court, Zhang Shujie and his teammates also began to warm up. Yan Tao kept twisting his body, a little awkward, Zhang Shujie asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Yan Tao looked bitter: "I don't know who left this uniform, I'm wearing it a little small, and it's weird and uncomfortable." ”

Zhang Shujie looked at this big man, the jersey was tightly attached to his body, and his burly body was tightly attached. And the pants, because of the smaller size, his hips are also wrapped like a woman's, which does look a little funny.

Zhang Shujie couldn't help laughing: "Hold on, just wait for your customized jersey to come out." ”

The fifteen-minute warm-up passed quickly, and everyone walked off the field to prepare. Because Mingyang High School came a little late, the interval between the warm-up time and the game time was also forced to be shortened, and now that the game is about to start, An Rong did not call everyone to the lounge, and directly called to the sidelines: "This is the first game after the resumption of the school team in our high school, and the school attaches great importance to it, so don't let your guard down if you think it's a friendly match, I have already determined the starting list." ”

Because this was a game organized by the two varsity teams themselves, neither team handed over the player rosters in advance. Before the game, An Rong did not reveal to the players who would be arranged, so the young players didn't know what the main lineup was like, he took out the lineup list, and unexpectedly, there were no names of Zhang Shujie and Yan Tao on it.

The team adopts a 5-4-1 formation, the starting eleven are: goalkeeper He Xin, the five defenders are Liu Zhengyang, Xia Xiaolong, Kong Xiao, Duan Song, Tang Shun, the four midfielders are captain Liu Fang, vice captain Pan Yongcheng, as well as Huang Zhou and Li Jian, and the forward is Shen Xiaogang.

Yan Tao whispered to Zhang Shujie: "Why don't you have the two of us?"

"It's okay, just wait for the opportunity. ”

An Rong looked at everyone and said earnestly: "The opponent's strength is not weak, but we don't need to be afraid of them, we have the advantage of the home field, and we have so many classmates shouting for us! After you get on the field, take out all your strength and go all out!"

"Yes!" everyone said in unison.

On the stands around the stadium, facing Li Mu on the other side, Zhou Ying sat in the crowd, there was still a vacant seat on her left, and Xiong Kui and a few classmates on her right, who were here to cheer for the new team.

Zhou Ying wants to become the manager of the team, An Rong has agreed, he has sent the instructions to the school sports office, just wait for the stamp, then Zhou Ying can officially take office, it is estimated that it will be in the last few days.

She looked at the time, her face a little anxious, as if she was waiting for someone. Now that the team has entered the field, the person she was waiting for has not yet arrived.

"Zhou Ying. ”

Someone was calling her, she also turned her head to look, only to see a very beautiful girl walked up to her, this girl is about fourteen or five years old, long hair over the shoulder, skin like snow, eyes bright and clear, with a shallow smile at the corner of the mouth, a slightly childish face with a unique simplicity of students, beautiful appearance attracted many boys to look at her a few more times.

The girl sat in the vacant seat next to Zhou Ying. Zhou Ying said: "When did you come? ”

The girl smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

Zhou Ying looked at her and found that she was also wearing a school uniform during today's holiday, so she asked, "It's strange, why are you still wearing a school uniform during today's holiday?"

"I lost my student ID and am in the process of reapplying for it, but I haven't issued it yet. I won't be able to enter school today without wearing my uniform. ”

Speaking of school uniforms, Yuying Middle School is a middle school that is in the forefront of fashion, whether it is a junior high school or a high school, the customized school uniforms are made in imitation of Hong Kong and Taiwan, which also makes students from other schools in the city envious.

Xiong Kui noticed the arrival of this girl and asked Zhou Ying: "Your friend, don't you introduce you to each other?"

Zhou Ying introduced: "This is my best friend, Fang name Wang Shihan, people are as his name, right? Shihan, he is my classmate, called Xiong Kui, although he is not burly at all. ”

Wang Shihan nodded at him as a greeting, and Xiong Kui nodded in response.

Zhou Ying said: "Since you have already come, I won't say more, finally come in time." You see, they're going to kick off. ”

On the court, the captain of Yuying Middle School, No. 10 Liu Fang, and No. 21 striker Shen Xiaogang stood in the center circle, waiting for the kickoff. As the referee blew the whistle, the game began.

Liu Fang gently pushed with his right foot and gave the ball to Shen Xiaogang. Xu Bo, a striker from Mingyang High School, stepped forward to scramble, and Shen Xiaogang immediately passed the ball back to Li Jian to avoid the ball being snatched away.

The first few minutes were normal, with the two sides battling each other a few times, but no shots on goal. As the game deepened, the players started to move, and Yuying High School launched the first wave of attacks with the momentum of the home field.

Huang Zhou handed the ball to Li Jian in the middle and backcourt, Li Jian looked up and saw that the opponent did not press up immediately, took a few steps forward, and then made an oblique long pass, looking for No. 11 Pan Yongcheng on the left.

The ball was close, Pan Yongcheng stopped the ball steadily, at the moment he was on the far left, an unguarded area, so he accelerated his speed and rushed forward with the ball, brought out more than ten meters away, and passed the ball to Liu Fang before the opposing team came up to force it.

Liu Fang did not stop the ball, picked up with his right foot, picked up the two players of the opponent, Shen Xiaogang responded in front, jumped high, a header ferried, and the ball flew to the top of the opponent's penalty area.

Li Jian on the right quickly plugged in, but was interfered with by the close defense of the opposing defender and did not get the ball, and then the ball was picked up by central defender Sun Zekang, forcing Yuying Middle School's attack to end before completing the final shot.

Yan Tao, who was sitting on the bench, was a little puzzled, and he asked Zhang Shujie: "It seems that in the first few strokes, although Yuying Middle School did not form a goal, but everyone's connection and transfer in the process can be regarded as playing well, how could it be reduced to the point that even the school team was disbanded?"

Zhang Shujie said: "It's been less than four minutes since the start of the game, and the Liu team just took advantage of the opponent's inactivity, plus it was the home field, and they were already very accustomed to the venue, so they made a surprise attack." In this way, the game is actually not very good, if the opportunity just now is copied to Mingyang High School, at least one shot can be formed. ”

"Really, you're not talking nonsense, are you?"

"You can read on and you'll know that maybe their shot is next time. ”

As Zhang Shujie said, the captain of Mingyang High School, that is, their winger Yuan Hong, used his speed advantage to shake off Xia Xiaolong and Duan Song's two defenders in a row after winning the ball in the front court, and then distributed the ball to Xu Bo. When the ball arrived in front of him, Xu Bo directly pulled out his foot and shot angrily, with great power.

With a "bell", the ball hit the goalpost, goalkeeper He Xin did not react at all, and Yuying Middle School escaped.

Just five minutes into the game, both teams organized an attack, and Mingyang High School also formed a dangerous shot. If it weren't for the help of the goalposts, the score would have been 0:1 by now.

Zhou Ying took a long breath and patted her heart: "That ball scared me to death just now, I thought I was going to lose the ball." ”

Wang Shihan smiled and said, "Look at you, you're nervous, as if you're playing on the field." ”

Zhou Ying said: "You don't know yet, I'm already the manager of the team, of course I'll be nervous. ”

Wang Shihan was surprised: "Really, why haven't I heard you talk about it?"

"It's not that the school sports office hasn't signed yet. But soon, in a few days, I'll be on duty. ”

"Then I'll congratulate you first. ”

As the two spoke, they suddenly heard a cheer in the field, they looked over and saw that the players of Yuying Middle School were all depressed, and Xu Bo, the center of Mingyang High School, high-fived and celebrated with captain Yuan Hong.

On the scoreboard, the score showed that it became 0:1, Yuying Middle School was one goal behind, the goal was Xu Bo, and the assister Yuan Hong.

Wang Shihan and Zhou Ying glanced at each other and were stunned. It's only been seven minutes since the start of the game!

Coach An Rong looked at the field expressionlessly and said nothing. Yan Tao on the bench shook his arm fiercely: "How did you do it? How long has it been since it started? Why did you lose the ball?"

Zhang Shujie sat next to him, leaning back on the seat, clasping his hands: "Calm." ”

Li Mu in the stands was very calm. Yuying Middle School did not send Zhang Shujie, and it is unlikely that the opponent's defense will score first, and it is reasonable to concede the goal first, unless there is any big accident in the game. But the accident did not appear.

Yuying Middle School quickly kicked off in the middle circle, the game restarted, after a few passes and inverted feet, the ball arrived at Liu Fang's side, he took out a few steps, a straight plug to find Shen Xiaogang in front, this ball was stuffed very suddenly, and it was also very beautiful, Mingyang High School was a little late to react, and Shen Xiaogang got a single knife, but Shen Xiaogang's speed obviously couldn't keep up, half a beat slower, and the ball was grabbed by the goalkeeper first.

A big foot passed the ball to the center circle, Yuan Hong grabbed the ball, used excellent personal skills to shake the back Huang Zhou, directly over the top of the long pass, and passed the ball to the back of the side No. 2, a right fullback, at this time Yuan Hong has begun to run forward.

After the No. 2 player unloaded the ball, he saw that Yuan Hong had already run to the front of the penalty area, but No. 6 Kong Xiao, the central defender of Yuying Middle School, had already posted it. Xu Bo was also under the opponent's tight defense, and in the end, the player could only choose to knock back. Liu Fang immediately stepped forward to grab the ball, Pan Yongcheng also pressed in the midfield, these two captains worked very hard, but they were not good at defense after all, and they could not get back the possession of the midfield, but were played by Yuan Hong and his teammates once.

The game has been going on for half an hour, the score is still 0:1, Yuying Middle School has less offense and more defense, and the limited few attacks are completed by Liu Fang and Pan Yongcheng, but unfortunately the team's striker's ability to grasp the opportunity is not good, and the two shots are missed.

Yuying Middle School's midfield defense is not enough, the pressure on the back is great, but the team does not have a strong defender to sit in, so they can only shrink the defense, rely on the number of people to pile up, and try not to concede goals again. During this period, they were almost pressed and beaten, and eight players had gathered in the penalty area, forming an iron bucket formation. Ming Yang High School couldn't pass the ball into the penalty area for a while and a half, so he poured his feet back and forth outside the penalty area, looking for opportunities.

The game was also a bit dull, and Li Mu took a nap in the stands.

Another five minutes passed, and An Rong looked at Yan Tao and told him to warm up until the end of the first half. Yan Tao got up and took off his coat, and Zhang Shujie patted him on the back with a smile.

Zhou Ying looked at Yan Tao in the warm-up and said, "Yan Tao is warming up, why is Zhang Shujie still sitting on the bench?"

Xiong Kui shook his head: "How do I know." ”

Wang Shihan didn't say anything, just glanced at Zhou Ying.

In the forty-fifth minute of the first half, Yuan Hong, the captain of Mingyang High School, took the ball at the front of the penalty area, faced Huang Zhou, who came to scramble, and buckled with his left foot, and suddenly, a gap appeared.

Raising his right foot, a powerful shot, the ball pressed against the ground and rushed towards the goal, although He Xin touched the ball, the ball was too fast, and finally failed to prevent the ball from going into the net.

0:2, Yuying Middle School trailed by two goals.

As Mingyang High School cheered for the second time, a large group of students cheering for Yuying Middle School fell silent on all sides of the stands.

Yan Tao glanced at the field, "Hey", he was not as excited as before, eight players standing in the penalty area to defend can let the opponent score, what else does he have to say? Zhang Shujie on the bench still maintained his previous posture, leaning on the back chair, and his body did not move. Coach An Rong also had the same expression, didn't say a word, and had no plans to change people.

Zhou Ying was so anxious: "It's two goals behind, why does the coach hide Zhang Shujiexue?"

Xiong Kui was also anxious: "That's right." What was Coach An Rong thinking? Zhang Shu should have been allowed to play in the first place. ”

This is the second time Wang Shihan has heard the name "Zhang Shujie" from Zhou Ying's mouth, and he suddenly feels as if he has heard it somewhere, but he can't be sure for a while. Listening to Zhou Ying's tone, it seems that this Zhang Shujie is very powerful.

How good is he? Everyone is looking forward to him playing.

After Li Mu opened his eyes and looked at the scoreboard, he pursed his lips and continued to nap.

There was no goal in two minutes of stoppage time and the score was 2-0 until the end of the first half.
