Chapter 61: The Competition of the Third Group
Because there were few people in the whole stadium, and there was no noise of the game, the shouts of this man echoed in the empty stadium, resounding in all corners. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Liu Xiying was taken aback, she didn't notice when another person came out in the stands.
This man was a boy, and the shouting just now attracted almost everyone's attention to him. Wang Shihan looked back and saw the boy shouting while running down from the top of the stand and running to the fence in front of him. If it weren't for the fact that the stadium was not allowed to be stepped into casually, it is estimated that the boy would have jumped from the stands and ran into the field.
The boy wore glasses and looked like a person who could read, lying on the fence and smiling at Wang Shihan: "I really didn't expect you to come earlier than me." ā
Wang Shihan didn't expect to see him here, he was very surprised, so he didn't reply to his words for a long time.
Zhou Ying asked quietly, "Shihan, who is this boy?"
"His name is Zheng Yong, and he is in the same class as me. ā
Zhou Ying let out an "oh". Wang Shihan looked up at the boy named Zheng Yong and asked, "Why did you get here?"
"Today the high school team has a game. I came early, I didn't expect you to come earlier. ā
"Aren't you not interested in high school leagues and only watch professional leagues?"
"It used to be, but now it's different. ā
Wang Shihan was thinking about how to respond to his words, but Zheng Yong said it himself: "I heard that you have been talking about the high school team recently, so I will also take a look, so that I can chat with you in the future." ā
Zheng Yong's voice was very loud, as if he was afraid that Wang Shihan would not hear him. But now there are so many people in the stadium, and most people can hear what he says. Wang Shihan felt that his head was exploding, what Zheng Yong's words meant, fools understand.
Everyone is starting to heckle!
"Oh!!"
The main striker of the team, Gao Fei, smiled and said to his teammates: "Is this a confession? But that guy is quite bold enough to say these things in front of a girl in front of dozens of people." ā
Liao Xu threw out the ball in his hand: "That Wang Shihan is indeed very beautiful, no wonder Dong Ke pays so much attention to her." ā
Dong Ke shouted on the side: "That's, don't look at who I am." ā
Captain Fan Yuqiang bounced the ball a few times, played a beautiful trick, and reminded him in his mouth: "You can pick up girls, but don't delay the practice." ā
"Captain, you have 10,000 hearts. I'll make a promise to you, if we lose this game, I won't go to Wang Shihan, and if we win, I don't care why I want to do it. ā
"You're confident. ā
"Needless to say, as long as I win, I will make Wang Shihan my bag. ā
Lei Ping kicked a ball at his feet: "If you lose because of your carelessness, just do what you said, get out of the way and finish yourself." ā
"But don't worry, we won't lose!" Dong Ke was full of confidence.
On the side of Yuying Middle School, Yan Tao looked at Zheng Yong expressionlessly, and said to himself: "Isn't it......?
Zhang Shujie said: "Nerds also have the right to pursue love. ā
"I don't think he will succeed, how can Wang Shihan fall in love with this kind of man? She should be interested in a muscular athletic boy like me to feel safe. As he spoke, he showed off his biceps.
Pan Yongcheng dragged his arm down: "You better save it." ā
Wang Shihan turned around and looked at the players, her eyes were full of help, she was glad that her parents didn't come to watch the game today, or she didn't know how to explain it to her parents.
Zhang Shujie walked over, stood beside her, and looked at Zheng Yong: "This classmate, I'm sorry, our team is practicing, please please sit on the side like that beauty, don't disturb us, okay?"
Zhang Shujie pointed at Liu Xiying, Zheng Yong looked in the direction he was pointing, and then turned around, the smile on his face had disappeared.
"Alright then, you practice. Wang Shihan, when the competition is over, I'll go to you again. After Zheng Yong finished speaking, he found a place in the stands and sat down.
When Wang Shihan heard this, he felt uncomfortable. looked at Zhang Shujie, after sending Zheng Yong away, he was ready to return to find his teammates.
"Just now...... Thank you. Wang Shihan thanked him.
Zhang Shujie turned around and smiled at her: "No." ā
An Rong didn't say anything about it. How can he be in the mood to care about those things that have nothing to do with the team now, his own team members have solved the matter for him, what he needs to do is to continue to study how to deal with Shengding Yigao.
Although Shengding Yigao does not have a genius like Li Mu, their captain is also a person who cannot be ignored, both offensive and organizational, and when he fights them, is it better to attack or defend and counterattack? An Rong is still thinking, but in his heart, he is still more inclined to attack.
Zhou Ying saw An Rong meditating, so she approached Wang Shihan lightly, showing the unique gossip characteristics of women: "Let me ask you, the boy named Zheng Yong just now is the first boy to pursue you?"
Wang Shihan was stunned: "What are you asking for?"
"Let's find out! We are such good girlfriends, I think I need to know. ā
"You're so bored. ā
"How can this be considered boring? It's about your lifelong happiness! Think about it, as far as I know, Zheng Yong should be the tenth, right? Or eleventh? And that's not even counting the boys who have a crush on you, and if you count the crushes, that's a lot of them. Zhou Ying glanced at Yan Tao intentionally or unintentionally.
Wang Shihan didn't buy it: "Don't talk about me, what about you?"
"What do I have?"
"Xiong Kui, didn't he want to pursue you?"
"How did I not know?"
"I've heard that, too. ā
"Who's talking?"
"I won't tell you. ā
As the clock progressed, it got closer and closer to the start of the game. At noon, An Rong called Zhou Ying and Wang Shihan to order a box lunch, and the team members solved it directly on the spot, and Iron Man Middle School went out to eat, which was no way, the school cafeteria on Saturday did not prepare as many meals as usual, mainly for boarding students.
After lunch, the coaches of both teams invariably did not let the players continue training in the afternoon, but let them rest. An Rong also said that if you want to take a nap, you can go to the lounge, and you can sleep until 2 p.m. at the latest.
At 13:00, the cheerleaders of Yuying Middle School arrived at the stadium one after another, and the members of these cheerleading teams were selected and organized by the school, and most of them were led by physical education teachers. Only Xiong Kui is an exception, he is the cheerleader of the first year of high school, and he is the leader of the entire high school support group.
Xiong Kui led people to the stands, and when he saw Zhou Ying on the court, he waved to her from afar.
About 20 minutes after the "family and friend group" of Yuying Middle School came, there was a sudden commotion outside the stadium, and four buses stopped outside.
The target of these journalists, of course, will not be the cheerleaders, but the players. An Rong saw that it was wrong, and now that the game has reached a critical period, he doesn't want the players to be affected by the outside world at this moment. And journalists are undoubtedly the ones with the most influence.
But how can reporters care about this, they only care whether they have news digging or not. This is also the annoying thing about journalists, no wonder they are called "paparazzi".
Journalists from various magazines began to flock to the players, and the managers of both teams hurriedly called the resting players to the field and make some simple passes to each other. And reporters can't casually enter this green field at this time, after all, the players have the ball at their feet, and if they go in, it will be considered as interfering with the team's normal training, and they will definitely be ruthlessly kicked out of the field.
Even if An Rong has not really arranged the training task now, the reporter just can't enter the venue.
No matter how thick-skinned you are as a reporter, you still have to abide by the professional ethics, otherwise the next time you meet these players outside the stadium, maybe others won't give you a good look.
These hard-pressed reporters had no choice but to stand on the side of the court, taking pictures of the players and coaches with cameras and camcorders, and taking a few photos of Wang Shihan and Zhou Ying from time to time. The head coaches of the two teams don't stop them, they just take whatever they want, as long as they don't disturb my players, it doesn't matter what they want to do.
Tang Feng was also in the group of reporters, he thought that the game had started early, and if he was quicker, he might be able to do a simple interview before the game. How do you know that An Rong and the others already have a set of "mental methods" for dealing with reporters: I will lead the team to stay on the sidelines, and if you come, I will take people to the field for training, and then you can't follow up! I really dare to come in, see that I don't give you a bad reputation for "disrupting the team's training".
Tang Feng smiled helplessly, there is no way, the high school league is not a professional league, and there is no arrangement such as a pre-game press conference. After all, it's just an amateur league, and it can't be so professional.
Tang Feng turned his head and smiled at Gu Hua again: "I'd better go to the table first, I'll leave it to you here." ā
"Go ahead, I'll be sure to get the guys on my camera. ā
"Wait a minute, have you seen Xie Wen and Huang Zhiyong?"
"Xie Wen, I saw it just now, holding the camera, Huang Zhiyong didn't see it, but he is a text reporter like you, so he probably went to the stand. I said, Old Tang, didn't the editor-in-chief just let them report on Shengding Yigao? What are you looking for them?"
"It's nothing, I'll ask. You go to the sidelines first, I'll go to the audience. ā
Tang Feng went to the audience and casually found a vacant seat to sit down. Looking at the time, there were still nearly two hours before the game would start, so he opened the notebook he carried with him and checked the records of the previous games.
Three groups, thirty teams, six favourites. Xingyang High School, which is in Group A, has shown the strength of the favourite team, with 21 points from eight rounds of games, and will be the group leader two rounds in advance, while second-placed Dinglin High School will need to determine whether they can qualify for the national competition in this round.
Longyi High School in Group B also has 21 points, four points more than Enwei No. 4 Middle School, which is in second place, and also qualified ahead of schedule. Enwei also had four points more than the third-place team. So in this round of competition, there is no suspense in Group B.
Group C is completely different! Iron Man Middle School and Ling'an No. 1 Middle School have been eliminated in advance, and among the remaining three teams, Xinguang Middle School ranks first with 22 points, and it is also ahead of schedule, but whether to go to the national competition as first or second still needs to see the results of this round of competition.
The second and third teams are Shengding No. 1 High School and Yuying High School, respectively, with only one point separating them. Whoever wins the two teams will qualify for the national tournament, and Shengding Yigao can even advance with just a draw.
The teams in Group C are not only clinging to the top of the table, but the other tables are also more eye-catching than the other two groups. In the current scorer list, Zhang Shuming of Yuying Middle School has scored 16 goals in seven games, ranking first in the overall scorer list. Qin Yang of Shin Kong Middle School scored 15 goals in eight games, followed by a goal difference. If it weren't for Zhang Shujie's injury in the game against Ming Yang High School and missing one and a half games, Qin Yang and his goal count would definitely not be just one difference. And Zhang Shujie also has five assists, and Qin Yang only has one.
In the third place in the scorers' list, no one was selected in Group C. The two top strikers of the two favourites in Group A and Group B have both scored ten goals and are tied for third. In Group C, Hou Shaoqing of Shengding Yigao scored nine goals, and Zhang Pengliang of Iron Man Middle School also scored nine goals. Although the strikers of Ling'an No. 1 Middle School did not score many goals, their "No. 1 attacking midfielder" Zhao Dongbo scored eight goals, one more than last year.
The battle in midfield is also bright and undercurrent. Li Mu, the core of Xinguang Middle School, is amazing in every data. Assists and threatening passes were the first in the three groups, and the number of dribbles was tied with Zhang Shujie for the first place in the group. His 12 assists are four more than Fan Yuqiang, who is in second place, and his goals are also the second highest among midfielders, only fewer than Cho Dongbo. But Zhao Dongbo's only two assists were left too far by Li Mu.
It is worth mentioning here that Chen Zihua of Yuying Middle School played two games, scored two goals and assisted three times, and the number of goals and assists was very low, but if you add the penalty he created, then Chen Zihua was directly involved in six of the nine goals scored by Yuying Middle School in these two games, and the other three goals were all initiated by him. This all-round midfielder is the second hero of the team after Zhang Shujie!
In addition, the third- and fourth-ranked players in assists are in Groups A and B, and Group C is equally absent.
On the back line, Yan Tao, who has been praised by the media as the best central defender in the city, has an eye-catching performance, ranking first in three groups in terms of interceptions, second in the whole group and first in Group C; he is ranked second in Group C and third in the whole group in the technical link of aerial clearance.
But Yan Tao has one statistic that is enough to be proud of all defenders in the city: two goals, seven assists, and directly created nine goals, which is far from being matched by other defenders. Even Li Yunfeng, who is known as the "best offensive defender" in Ling'an No. 1 Middle School, only has three goals and four assists.
In addition, Chen Peng of Xinguang Middle School and Zhu Xiaoheng of Iron Man Middle School performed very well. In the goalkeeper position, Wu Dong ranks first in the overall list in key statistics such as saves and other goalfront saves, and his presence makes Shin Kong Middle School the team that concedes the fewest goals. Liao Xu of Shengding First High School and Xue Yong of Iron Man Middle School ranked third and fourth respectively in the overall list.
These data fully show that Group C is far more competitive than the other two groups. With four of the six favourites in the group, plus the upstart of Yuying Middle School, if Group C can't come up with something that is in the eye, I'm afraid they can't live up to the words "hot" and "strong".
Tang Feng closed the notebook and looked at the time again, it was already 14:00.
