Chapter Forty-Nine: An Unexpected Start
Saturday, December 2nd. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The eighth round of the Dalian Division of the National High School Qualifiers is about to begin, and the most eye-catching is the home match between Yuying Middle School and Iron Man Middle School.
At this moment, outside the gate of Yuying Middle School, a modern car was parked at the door, the car was originally going to park in, but the security guard said that there was a game today, and the open-air parking lot in the school was no longer a parking space, so he had no choice but to stop outside the school gate.
Two men got out of the car, these two people were none other than the two reporters sent by "Youth Cup" to report on Yuying Middle School: Tang Feng and Gu Hua.
Tang Feng hurried to the court with Gu Hua, today's round of matches is the highlight of Group C, and it is also one of the two most eye-catching games in the three groups.
Gu Hua was holding a camera in his hand, and he was a little complained in his heart when he was dragged away by Tang Feng like this: "Big brother, don't pull me, this is really my fastest speed." ”
Tang Feng said without looking back: "A big man, go so slowly, hurry up! The two colleagues in our club who are responsible for reporting on Iron Man Middle School have already arrived." ”
"Don't worry about anyone else now. You see I'm still holding the camera, it's like you, just a notebook and a pen. ”
"That's not your excuse, hurry up!" said Tang Feng and dragged him a few more times.
"Don't pull don't pull, you're going to fall!"
The two came to the stadium in the dust, today's weather is not bad, although it is still very cold, but the sun is still sprinkled without hesitation, but it is not warm enough. It was only a little over ten minutes before the start of the game, and the players had already finished their warm-up and were in their respective lounges. The stands were also full, and the cheerleaders of both teams had already cheered for the teams in various ways in advance.
The match attracted no less than two dozen journalists. Gu Hua went to the sidelines and set up the camera on the side of the court. Tang Feng went to the stands and continued his written record.
He finally found an empty seat, his vision was so-so, and he was okay to watch the game. Tang Feng casually looked around, wanting to see where his colleague, who was also a text reporter, was sitting, but unfortunately he didn't see it, but he saw Teng Gang, another photojournalist from the "Youth Cup", on the sidelines, who was sent by the editor-in-chief to cover the competition of Iron Man Middle School.
At this time, Tang Feng found that there were two people beside him who seemed to be a little familiar, and he turned his head to look at it again, it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, he was taken aback when he saw it.
The person sitting next to him was actually Li Mu from Xinguang Middle School! On the other side of Li Mu was his teammate Chen Peng. Tang Feng is very strange, did they not have a game today?
Anyway, when you meet two stars in the football world of Dalian High School, you should still say hello. Tang Feng's face had a smile that only a professional reporter could have: "What a coincidence, Li Mu." ”
Li Mu turned his head and saw that it was Tang Feng, who they had met after the competition in Yuying Middle School before.
"Isn't this a Tang reporter? ”
"The one next to you is Chen Peng, right?"
Chen Peng had already heard the two of them talking, and said with a smile: "Reporter Tang is really a good eye. ”
Tang Feng asked, "Aren't you guys playing today?"
Li Mu straightened his collar: "Yes, but the opponent is the seventeenth middle school that has lost the qualification and has no intention of fighting again, the coach will let us take a break." ”
"So you're here?"
"That's what the coach means and that's what we mean. ”
"Who do you think is more likely to win this game?"
"If you want me to say, Yuying Middle School. ”
"Chen Peng, what do you think?"
Chen Peng squinted: "I think the same as Li Mu." ”
Tang Feng nodded thoughtfully: "Is it because Zhang Shujie from Yuying Middle School was your teammate in junior high school, and you are more partial to them from a personal point of view?"
Li Mu stretched out his index finger and shook it: "No." Jay Tsai...... It's Zhang Shujie, we all know his ability very well. Although there are a lot of good players at Iron Man Middle School, I wouldn't think anyone is better than him. Yuying Middle School has Chen Zihua again, plus Yan Tao, it is unlikely that Iron Man Middle School will win the game. ”
Tang Feng looked around, fortunately, there were fans of Yuying Middle School in the vicinity, otherwise Li Mu said these words, the cheerleaders of Iron Man Middle School would definitely be very angry when they heard it.
"The two of you basically agree with me. Although I, as a journalist, want to cover the game fairly, I still think that Yuying Middle School has a better chance of winning. ”
Chen Peng tilted his head and said with a smile: "There are Zhang Pengliang and Shao Yilong in the forward line of Iron Man Middle School, captains Cao Hong and Shi Wei in the midfield, Zhu Xiaoheng and Li Cheng in the guards, and a very good goalkeeper Xue Yong. On the surface, Iron Man Middle School seems to be stronger, but in fact, none of these team members can compare to the three of them in Yuying Middle School. ”
Li Mu nodded in agreement: "It's okay if the gap is small, but ...... Compared with Jie Zai and others, they are not at the same level at all. Now this Iron Man Middle School is much worse than before, and the reason why they can still be called a strong team by the media is nothing more than relying on their previous historical results, otherwise how could they only rank fifth after seven rounds!"
Tang Feng flipped through the notebook and was surprised by the two people's analysis of the players' abilities, in fact, he himself thought so. If Iron Man Middle School wants to win the competition, it has to rely on the overall advancement, and it is absolutely impossible to fight for individual ability.
Li Mu leaned back on the chair behind him and said casually: "Wait, the game is about to start." ”
In the lounge of Iron Man Middle School, coach Liang Fei told the players: "I will say it again now, the formation is changed to 4-3-1-2, and Cao Hong organizes the attack." Zhu Xiaoheng, you mainly defend Zhang Shujie, Shi Wei, you are staring at Chen Zihua in the midfield, Zhang Pengliang, Shao Yilong, just pay attention to that Yan Tao, the defender of the entire Yuying Middle School, he is the most difficult. Did you hear it all?"
"Hear me clearly!"
"Good, let's get out!
On the other hand, in the lounge of Yuying Middle School, what An Rong said greatly surprised Liang Fei: "Today our formation is 4-5-1, and we will play according to the method I said." Zhang Shujie, Chen Zihua, Yan Tao, you sit on the bench for a while, and I will call you when I need you. Let's go!"
The team members shouted loudly and walked out of the lounge, and the cheerleaders shouted louder when they saw the team members coming out. Zhang Shujie glanced back at the stands on the way to the bench, and happened to see Liu Xiying standing at the front of the stands, leaning on the iron railing with her slender waist.
Liu Xiying also saw Zhang Shujie, smiled and waved at him, and Zhang Shujie also smiled and waved in response. I just don't know why Liu Xiying is standing here and not going to sit on the stand.
This scene was unfortunately seen by Wang Shihan. She glanced at Zhang Shujie with deep meaning, and then at Liu Xiying.
At this time, the players of the two teams had already played, and all the spectators found that the three main forces of Yuying Middle School did not appear in the starting lineup!
What is the situation? In the stands, the cheerleaders of Yuying Middle School were already talking in low voices, and they couldn't understand why those three people didn't show up.
"What is An Rong doing?" Tang Feng was also stunned, this was completely unexpected by him.
Li Mu and Chen Peng glanced at each other, and they both saw the incomprehension in each other's eyes. Looking at the bench again, Zhang Shujie, Yan Tao, and Chen Zihua sat on the chair in their coats.
These three main players who couldn't be beaten were actually put on the bench by An Rong!
Liang Fei was surprised, in this way, the tactics he had worked so hard to arrange before would not have any effect, and he had to think of another way. He pondered: since those three people are not there, then ......
Li Mu felt very strange, he was about to start sitting in the audience like a log to watch the game as usual. But not now, in such an important competition, An Rong has hidden the three main forces, even if he looks like a wooden winter melon, he will find it a little interesting.
"Everyone knows the importance of this game, but why did Coach An Rong do this?"
Tang Feng was also puzzled: "For the time being, we don't know, we can only watch it first." ”
In the first half, Yuying Middle School chose the venue, and Iron Man Middle School chose the ball, and their two forwards, Zhang Pengliang and Shao Yilong, stood in the center circle, waiting for kickoff.
The referee looked at his watch, and the whistle was in his mouth. As soon as the time came, he blew the whistle.
The eighth round of qualifiers in Dalian began. This game is very crucial for both teams, and there is another key game in this round, which is Shengding Yigao vs. Ling'an No. 1 Middle School.
In the first half, Yuying Middle School did not arrange for Zhang Shujie and the three to play, which disrupted the deployment of Iron Man Middle School, and after thinking for a while, Liang Fei made a temporary decision to direct the players to attack on the sidelines.
The three main players are not on the field, if they don't attack now, when?
Cao Hong controlled the ball in the midfield, glanced at Zhang Pengliang in front of him, and was about to pass the ball, but Huang Zhou posted it from the side to grab the ball. Cao Hong, as the captain of Iron Man Middle School and the initiator of the attack, is not so easy to be stealed.
He dribbled the ball to the other side to avoid Huang Zhou and pulled out some distance, and at this moment, Liu Fang came over again and guarded Cao Hong with Huang Zhou on the left and right. Cao Hong could only bring the ball back, and teammate Shi Wei had come up to respond.
Cao Hong passed the ball to him, Shi Wei had no time to adjust the ball, Pan Yongcheng inserted from the side, stretched out a kick, and poked the ball out of two meters away, Shi Wei hurriedly rushed to the ball, Pan Yongcheng followed him closely, pulled his clothes, and raised his arm to press him down, Shi Wei was affected, barely caught up with the ball but was difficult to control.
Zhang Pengliang returned to the middle circle position, Kong Xiao, who was in charge of marking him, also retreated with him, Shi Wei saw him, and passed the ball under the pull of Pan Yongcheng, Zhang Pengliang suffered the same as Shi Wei after receiving the ball, and was closely defended by Kong Xiao.
Kong Xiao almost pressed his chest against his back, and one hand wrapped around his waist, as if the person in front of him was not the opposing player, but his lover. Zhang Pengliang couldn't break through for a while, but just tried to protect the ball and not let the ball be snatched away.
A figure flashed from the side, and raised his hand and shouted: "Ah Liang, this way!" Zhang Pengliang judged from the voice that this person was the right-back Li Cheng, who had assisted to the front, so he half-turned and passed the ball diagonally to the right.
The ball passed a little big, Li Cheng used enough strength to chase the ball, at this time he had already gone down, in the penalty area of Yuying Middle School, the players on both sides were already in place, each waiting for him to cross.
Li Cheng encountered an obstacle, and Tang Shun stood in front of him to stop him, not giving him a chance to pass. He forcibly cut inside with the ball, and Tang Shun intercepted it, but Li Cheng reversed the buckle and deducted Tang Shun, and the route of the pass also came out.
But unfortunately, at the moment when Li Cheng got up, Tang Wendong, the left midfielder who was returning to the defense, got up and raised his foot to block, and the ball hit his calf and popped off the sideline. Iron Man gets a throw-in.
Li Mu understood it, and he said to his companion: "I know Coach An Rong's arrangement, he wants to play defense first." I've heard Jay tell me that these days their team has been practising midfield scrambling and close defending at the back. ”
Chen Peng nodded and said: "At present, Yuying Middle School is indeed fighting fiercely, no matter who wins the ball in Iron Man Middle School, there will be one or two people who will stick it up." ”
Tang Feng didn't know what to write in the notebook with a pen, and his mouth was not idle when he wrote: "Could it be that An Rong wants to test his training effect on the spot in the competition with Iron Man Middle School? ”
Li Mu stuffed a piece of chewing gum in his mouth, and gave Chen Peng and Tang Feng a piece: "This game will definitely be interesting." ”
