The National High School Football League was held for the first time in 1982, before the professional leagues. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The INFO contest is held annually and has been held for 24 years now, but it has not received much attention and attention until recent years. The competition system has changed a lot, the country does not count Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, a total of seven regions are divided, Dalian is a separate region, and each team will also fight to the death in the city.

Yuying Middle School signed up for the qualifiers for nine consecutive years before this, and the qualifier system at that time was still a single-elimination game, and every year Yuying Middle School was eliminated in the first round without winning a single ball. Such a poor record caused the school to lose all trust in them, and last year the principal waved his hand: "Disband the team!" The players had to pack up their bags and leave.

There are still many teams like Yuying Middle School, they can only play one official game a year, the players can't get more training, and the team strength can't be improved.

In this situation, last year, the Municipal Sports Bureau carried out a restructuring, in order to allow the players to play more games and get more exercise, the single knockout game was changed to a group points stage, so that no matter whether they win or lose, each registered team can play more than one qualifier.

It's a pity that Yuying Middle School disbanded the team for a year last year and didn't enjoy the benefits of the new system, and it wasn't until this year that this opportunity began.

Dalian's team dominates the country, and even if it is divided into a separate region, there are still six seats in hand, so you can imagine how strong the city's football strength is!

This year, a total of 30 teams from Dalian signed up for the qualifiers, six more than last year, which made the allocation plan of the group difficult. Last year, the 24 teams could be divided into six groups of four teams, with six games played home and away in turn, with the top of each group qualifying. But how should the thirty teams be divided this Chinese New Year's Eve?

There are three points of view here, the first is that there are still six groups of five teams each, and the first place in each group qualifies. But if you score like this, every time you play against each team, you will have a bye and you won't be able to play. And compared to last year, the number of places in each group is still one, but the number of teams has increased.

The second point of view is to divide into three groups, each group of ten teams, and cancel the home-and-away system, play a single round-robin group stage, play a total of nine games, and the top two in each group qualify, so that there will be no team due to byes and cannot play the game.

The third point of view is to divide into four groups, the first three groups of eight teams each, the same home and away away, only a single round-robin group stage. This leaves only six teams in the final group, which is played in the same way as the first three groups. The top teams from the four groups qualify directly for the national competition, while the four teams in second place compete for the remaining two spots.

Each of the three points of view has its own supporters. Those who support the first point argue that such a group is the best, while opponents argue that it would be unfair for each team to increase the number of teams in the group from four to five, and that there will still be one spot. Moreover, if the bye team qualifies early, then the final round of the four teams between the four teams will lose any meaning.

There are many people who support the second point of view, but they think that the cancellation of home and away games is a little flawed, and there are nine games that are inevitably a little more. The third point has the least supporters and can be directly eliminated.

In the end, the Sports Bureau delegated the three proposals to each participating team to see which grouping method they would prefer to use. Several strong teams said that it didn't matter, which one would do, it was really worthy of being a strong team, and the tone of their speech was the same. The attitude of many weak teams is to focus on participation, not to mention the difference between home and away, when facing the top teams, even if they send 12 people to their team, they can't win.

The answer is simple: they need to play more games! These teams that will never be able to compete in the national tournament are just hoping to show their faces in the qualifiers. They even felt that nine qualifiers were too few, and that they should add a few more, and that if they played too many games, they might be able to get an upset.

The number of games must not be increased, and there is no way to group them like this this year, and the Municipal Sports Bureau also said that this is the first and last time. Just as the 2002 World Cup was hosted by two countries, there will be no similar thing in the future. For the grouping of the teams, the Sports Bureau will further improve them in the future qualifiers, and this year it will be divided like this for the time being.

After seven days of continuous classes, the high school students in Dalian will usher in the seven-day National Day holiday, but the members of the school team will not enjoy it for so long, because the penultimate day of the National Day is the first qualifier, and they only have two days off to start training to keep in good shape for the upcoming competition.

Quite simply, the players are not professional players and need to rest for another day after the game.

Yuying Middle School's first game was at home, and the opponent was the High School Affiliated to Normal University. The students in the school are very supportive of the team, and the team's two consecutive wins in the first two warm-up games have also made them very optimistic about the team's prospects, and the stands are already crowded. The away team did not show weakness, and the cheerleaders who came with the team loudly cheered for the team.

Although, the game has not yet started, and both teams have not yet played.

Yuying Middle School is in Group C, which is also the last group, with a total of ten teams, each team will play against each other, a total of nine rounds, one round a week, and a little more than two months can be played all, and the top two teams will be able to qualify for the national competition.

Yuying Middle School may have to struggle to win this qualifying spot, and the nine teams in their group are Xinguang Middle School, Ling'an No. 1 Middle School, Iron Man Middle School and Shengding First High School, which are recognized as the city's favorites, as well as the High School Affiliated to Normal University and Mingyang High School, the latter of which was the loser of Yuying High School in the warm-up match.

In addition to these six teams, there are also Jien Middle School, Guanyang Middle School and Municipal No. 17 Middle School, these three teams are relatively weak and basically pose no threat. The key is the four popular teams, there are a total of "six favorites" in Dalian, Yuying Middle School has met four, and the other two popular teams are Xingyang Middle School and Longyi High School, respectively in Group A and Group B.

Of these 30 teams, only six can go to Shanghai to participate in the national competition!

The strongest of the three groups is Shin Kong Middle School in Group C, and as the defending champion, Shin Kong High School must also participate in the qualifiers, a rule that is not quite the same as the junior high school league. In the fifth round, Yuying Middle School will play against Shin Kong Middle School, and this round they will face the High School Affiliated to Shida University.

When the team learned about the grouping a week ago, they almost despaired. How did you get so lucky to be with four popular teams? And one of the teams is Shin Kong Middle School!

Fortunately, An Rong, Zhou Ying, Zhang Shujie and others cheered everyone on, so that the tragedy of "dying before leaving the school" did not occur.

Now that the game is about to start, the players of Yuying Middle School are in the lounge, listening to An Rong's final instructions: "Everyone in the High School Affiliated to the Normal University also knows something, the opponent is very strong, but now we are not bad." They're in a similar situation to us, with very good strikers and defenders. Yan Tao, you have to pay special attention to the opponent's No. 14 striker Li Qihua, who ranked fourth in last year's high school league scorer list, be careful!"

Yan Tao nodded: "I'll be careful." ”

"Zhang Shujie, the opponent's No. 6 central defender Du Jun is the same as you, he is a senior student, and you have also seen him in the junior high school league, you should know how to deal with him. ”

"Coach, don't worry, I know how to do it. ”

"Our formation is 4-4-1-1, I will announce the starting list, goalkeeper No. 1 He Xin, defender No. 2 Xia Xiaolong, No. 3 Tang Shun, No. 6 Kong Xiao, No. 13 Yan Tao, midfield four No. 15 Huang Zhou, No. 18 Tang Wendong, No. 7 Li Jian, No. 10 Liu Fang, forward is No. 11 Pan Yongcheng, forward No. 9 Zhang Shujie. The team is still Liu Fang's captain. ”

In the first game, An Rong let all the main players appear, and he is bound to win this game!

"The tactics are based on the last training, you all understand, right?"

"Understood!"

"Very well, then I won't say more. ”

Zhou Ying reminded him on the side: "Coach, it's time to play." ”

An Rong finally said: "Forget our past and look to our future." Get on the field!"

The time is now 14:55 p.m., and in 5 minutes, the game will begin. Liu Fang shook hands with the captain of the High School Attached to the Normal University, that is, No. 14 Li Qihua, and then the players on both sides stood in their positions, the referee looked at the watch, and after a while, the whistle sounded and the game began.

Li Qihua passed the ball to his teammates, Zhang Shujie and Pan Yongcheng pressed forward and backward, and the opponent handed the ball to the backcourt.

The middle school attached to the Normal University is unhurried in the backfield, and their midfield strength is not very good, and it is not as good as Yuying Middle School. Yuying Middle School has a Liu Fang and a Pan Yongcheng, who can barely organize an attack, but there is no one in the middle school attached to the Normal University.

They just sat on their feet at the back for two minutes, the ball passing back and forth between the four defenders, seemingly careless, but in reality, they were looking for their core.

Another two minutes passed, the ball never crossed the midfield, only six players touched the ball on the field, the remaining sixteen players did not touch the ball, and some spectators in the stands began to protest.

Zhou Ying asked An Rong puzzled: "What is the purpose of the High School Affiliated to Normal University?"

"Their midfield is too weak, worse than ours, and they can only rely on the ability of their strikers to play alone. In doing so, we were forcing our formation to press and leaving gaps in the backline. ”

As soon as An Rong's words were finished, the defense line of Yuying Middle School really began to press forward, the two central defenders were close to the arc of the center circle, and the left and right fullbacks had also stepped forward and passed the midfield. At this time, Du Jun, the No. 6 player of the High School Affiliated to the Normal University, who was holding the ball, made a long pass with a big foot, and the ball reached the front court.

No. 14 Li Qihua started quickly, shook Kong Xiao with the ball, and went straight to the penalty area of Yuying Middle School. Before he had gone far, he felt a huge body behind him leaning over, causing him a lot of pressure, and his dribbling speed was much slower.

Accidentally, Li Qihua's feet were crooked, his center of gravity was unstable, and he stumbled to the ground, he looked at the referee innocently, saying that the ball was fouled by the opponent's No. 13 player, and the referee ignored it.

After Yan Tao successfully grabbed the ball, he passed to Huang Zhou, who handed the ball to Liu Fang, Liu Fang dribbled the ball past a defender, and saw that there were four defenders around Zhang Shujie and Pan Yongcheng in front, so he had no choice but to divide the ball.

The two sides were deadlocked on the pitch, and in the first fifteen minutes of the game, both teams formed without a single shot on goal. Since the High School Affiliated to Normal University is not in a hurry, Yuying Middle School is not in a hurry. They already knew that the opposition's midfield was a weak link, so since the ball was broken by Cong Tao, they passed the ball through the midfield and looked patiently for opportunities.

The ball is still at the feet of the Yuying Middle School players, Liu Fang took the ball in the middle, suddenly got up and passed over the top for a long time, Pan Yongcheng did not stop the ball, and directly picked up the pass to the opponent's penalty area, Zhang Shujie leaned on the defender Du Jun who defended him in the run, and shot vigorously with his left foot on the penalty line, the opponent's goalkeeper failed to touch the ball, and watched the ball fly behind him.

Just listen to a loud sound, the ball hits the crossbar and pops off the baseline.

"It's a shame. Zhou Ying said regretfully: "If this goal is scored, we will be able to take the initiative." ”

An Rong smiled and said, "Don't worry, he's already in the rhythm of the game." ”

Zhou Ying also smiled: "Yes, with Zhang Shujie here, are we afraid that we won't be able to score goals?"

The goal just now scared the high school attached to the division university a lot, and he also paid more attention to the defense of the backfield. For the next ten minutes, both sides had two shots on goal. The shots from the High School Affiliated to Normal University were all completed by Li Qihua, while the shots from Yuying Middle School were completed by Zhang Shujie and Pan Yongcheng once.

In the 33rd minute, there was a hole in the back line of Yuying Middle School. Although Yan Tao pushed the ball out of the penalty area, Huang Zhou, who received the ball, failed to protect the ball, and the opposing midfielder shot a long shot, and the ball hit Li Qihua's feet and stopped, and he made up for it.

The ball came too suddenly, Yan Tao reacted, but it was too late, so he could only watch the ball go into the net. The High School Affiliated to Normal University led 1:0.

The players of Yuying Middle School were a little annoyed, but the High School Affiliated to the Normal University was vying to celebrate, and after playing for more than half an hour, they finally scored.

Zhang Shujie walked to Pan Yongcheng's side: "Deputy team, although the opponent's Du Jun has a height advantage, but the bounce power is not good, you will pass me a high-altitude ball when you have a chance later." ”

"Are you sure he doesn't bounce well?"

"Sure. I fought him in junior high school, and he still hasn't changed. ”

"Alright, I'll pass you the golf ball later. ”

Yuying Middle School served in the middle circle, but due to the poor midfield ability of the High School Affiliated to the Normal University, it was difficult to snatch the ball back for a while. It just widened the defensive area and mentioned it near the center circle.

Yuying Middle School did not blindly kick to the front and kick each other in the middle and back. When Liu Fang passed the ball to Zhang Shujie for the first time, it was unsuccessful, and the ball was intercepted by a member of the High School Attached to the Normal University. Fortunately, their attack failed to reach the 30-meter area of the backfield of Yuying Middle School and was stopped by Yan Tao.

About a minute later, Liu Fang passed the ball to Zhang Shujie again, and this time he finally passed the ball to Zhang Shujie's feet.

Zhang Shujie dribbled the ball in the front court, flashed left and right, and attracted two defenders from the opposing side. He then passed the ball to Li Jian on the right side, ran sideways, and led the opponent's defensive center of gravity to the right side, while Pan Yongcheng ran to the left.

Zhang Shujie pointed to the left, Li Jian also handed the ball to the left side of the penalty area, Pan Yongcheng stopped the ball with his right foot, rubbed the outside of his left foot, and the ball drew an arc in the air and flew to the penalty area.

Zhang Shujie, who had been waiting here for a long time, pressed Du Jun and put the ball into the goal before the opponent's goalkeeper.

1:1, Yuying Middle School equalized the score by Zhang Shujie in the 36th minute, only three minutes after the time of the last goal.

In the stands, the home team's crowd immediately roared loudly. In the first year of high school, Xiong Kui also organized a cheerleading team to cheer for Zhang Shujie and cheer for the new team.

"Zhou Ying-, Zhou Ying-!"

Zhou Ying, who was shouting with joy, faintly heard someone in the stands shouting her in the cheers of the crowd, she walked out of the bench and saw Wang Shihan at the front of the audience, with her hands around her mouth in a horn shape, it seems that this girl has made a lot of effort to let Zhou Ying hear her voice in the noise.

The scene was very noisy and it was not very convenient to speak, Zhou Ying beckoned to Wang Shihan and motioned for her to come over, but Wang Shihan shook his head, saying that as an audience, he could not get too close to the court. Zhou Ying had an idea, took out a camera from the backpack on the bench, Wang Shihan immediately understood her intentions, and walked off the stands with a smile.

Although the high school league is an amateur game, there is a rule that spectators are not allowed to go past the spectator seats and approach the court. Unless it's team members, professional journalists, and intramural journalists.

There are no professional journalists for the time being, and the school's press corps is made up of seven students who are responsible for covering the school's cultural and sports activities. For example, in this game, there is a school press corps on the sidelines to take pictures and take pictures. However, Wang Shihan did not participate in any club organizations in the school for the sake of his studies, and Zhou Ying's move of taking out the camera also made Wang Shihan pretend to be a school reporter, so that there was enough reason to stand on the side of the court.

Anyway, those officials in the school will not be bored enough to look up a reporter on campus.

When Wang Shihan approached the bench of Yuying Middle School, coach An Rong and all the substitutes looked at her. Zhou Ying said with a smile: "She is a reporter on campus, responsible for filming the on-site competition. ”

Whether Wang Shihan is a reporter on campus An Rong and these team members don't know, but they already knew last time that Wang Shihan was a junior high school student, even if it was really a reporter group, it was also a junior high school. Usually the middle school and high school are the relationship between the well water and the river water, which are not related to each other. However, the school does not have strict rules, and it is not impossible for students in the middle school to report on the affairs of the high school.

So An Rong didn't bother to ask. As a coach, he doesn't care who is a school reporter, he only cares about the game.

Zhou Ying gave the camera to Wang Shihan, and gave her an extra work card to hang around her neck, in order not to be exposed, Zhou Ying buckled the front and exposed the back.

"I thought you weren't coming. Zhou Ying said.

"Definitely come, or you think that if I don't give you a cheer, then I will be wronged. I called you just now, and you turned off your phone. ”

"No one in the team can turn on their phones during game time. ”

"That's right. Wang Shihan only thought of this, but then she said: "This regulation is too ...... Strictness is too much. The professional leagues haven't said that mobile phones are not allowed. ”

"Alright, don't talk about that. You don't know China's national conditions and system, when this regulation came out, many coaches protested, but it was useless. Since the Sports Bureau said that it is not allowed to turn on the mobile phone, then it is not allowed, let's just obey, and don't say anything else. ”

Wang Shihan nodded, and Zhou Ying asked her, "Did you see Zhang Shujie's goal just now?"

"Well, I see, what's wrong?"

Zhou Ying smiled: "It's nothing." I just want to tell you that this year, with the addition of strong generals from Yuying Middle School, we will definitely be able to do well. ”

Wang Shihan reminded her: "The game is not half played, it is better to be careful now, otherwise a careless will be overturned and you will lose a lot." ”

"Yes, anything can happen on the football pitch. However, I believe that with Zhang Shujie attacking in front and Yan Tao in the backfield, there should not be much of a problem. ”

Wang Shihan thought about it and said: "Judging from the warm-up game, it should be like this. ”

Just as the two were talking, there was a small episode in the game, Yan Tao was rushing to the front, arguing with the referee about something.
