Chapter 21: Old Rivals

At the end of October, Yuying High School welcomed their third opponent in the qualifiers, and it was also their first friendly match two months ago: Mingyang High School. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although Yuying Middle School won the friendly match, to a certain extent, it was also because the other party didn't know them, especially because they didn't know that Yuying Middle School also had Zhang Shujie and Yan Tao.

Moreover, this time Yuying Middle School is still playing away.

Early on Saturday morning, the team members gathered at the school gate, and the school sports office personally saw off the team and prepared three buses for them. One of them was for the players, and the other two were for the cheerleaders. The current leaders at all levels of Yuying Middle School are paying more and more attention to the team.

Half of the cheerleading team is made up of girls, and the other half is composed of boys with loud voices and strong strength, including Xiong Kui, the first-year cheerleader who was elected by everyone.

Three buses were full of people and drove to Mingyang High School with the team members and cheerleaders. Wang Shihan was on a bus with the team members, she planned not to go, but when she thought that today was her first game after becoming a "reporter with the team", she also took some time out of her busy schedule to go with the team.

Anyway, plus the game time, it will only be more than two hours before and after, so it's a big deal to make up for this time when I go home to review in the evening.

After half an hour of driving, three buses came to the school gate of Mingyang High School, and the doorman also knew that there was a team game today, so he asked the driver to log in and put the three cars in.

After parking the car in the parking lot, as soon as everyone got out of the car, they were so flashed by the flashes of countless cameras that they almost couldn't find the north. In fact, when the team members were in the car, they saw a large number of reporters gathered on the campus of Mingyang High School, and they knew that they might be "besieged" by reporters, so they were prepared. But when they got out of the car, their eyes were still a little unbearable.

Reporters from major sports magazines surrounded the players and coaches and asked about the game.

"May I ask Zhang Shujie, you have won two consecutive victories, as the biggest dark horse in this year's high school league, how sure are you about this game?" a reporter from an unknown magazine was interviewing Zhang Shujie.

Zhang Shujie rushed to the field, didn't want to be too grinding, and said a few perfunctory words: "The game hasn't started yet, and no one can predict the result." ”

"Then may I ask ......?"

"I'm sorry, I have to warm up and get used to the venue. After saying that, no matter how the reporter stopped him, Zhang Shujie also left by himself.

Yan Tao was also stopped by a reporter from another newspaper and magazine: "May I ask Yan Tao ......?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know, I don't know anything. Yan Tao, who has always liked to show his face, was reluctant to say anything to reporters at this time, it is estimated that An Rong had explained to the players before, and he couldn't say those unnecessary words before the game.

An Rong was more direct, simply kept silent, he didn't answer anything the reporter asked, and pushed the microphone away from his mouth, pushing those reporters to both sides as well, so that they would not get in the way.

Tang Feng and Gu Hua, two reporters from the "Youth Cup", were also in the crowd. Gu Hua originally planned to rush forward to conduct an interview with Zhang Shujie, but was stopped by Tang Feng in advance. Gu Hua didn't know why, until he saw the attitude of the players from Yuying Middle School to reporters, he knew the reason why Tang Feng did this.

"I said Brother Tang, how do you know that people from Yuying Middle School will not be interviewed by reporters?"

Tang Feng replied with a smile: "I also guessed. This year's Yuying Middle School is an out-and-out dark horse, and many reporters want to interview them. I was thinking that for the sake of the team's tactical plan, coach An Rong should have asked the players to tell them before the interview that they couldn't say what they couldn't say. ”

Gu Hua asked, "Then what should we do now?"

"Let's go to the stadium first!"

The two of them walked towards the court. The two of them were specially sent by the editor-in-chief of the "Youth Cup" to report on the competition of Yuying Middle School, to be precise, it was Tang Feng who took the initiative to apply for this qualification from the leader, and the superiors also knew that Yuying Middle School performed well this year, defeating Ling'an No. 1 Middle School, one of the six favorites, so they also agreed to Tang Feng's request, and let him and Gu Hua only report on Yuying Middle School, and other colleagues in the magazine went to report other games.

Although both of them are reporters, Gu Hua is in charge of filming the process of the competition and belongs to photojournalists, so he has to stand on the sidelines with the camera. Tang Feng only needs to be responsible for recording the key points of the game, because these amateur football stadiums do not have a special press booth, although there are several rostrums, but not open to reporters. Therefore, Tang Feng could only watch the game from the stands like a general spectator.

This is where the amateur high school league is not as good as the professional league, and some details are not considered as detailed as the professional stadium.

Tang Feng found a good position and saw that Gu Hua was also ready on the sidelines. He also saw that there were more than 20 reporters from different newspapers and magazines around the stadium, and everyone wanted to see how many of those ace players could play, and wanted to know how far Yuying Middle School could go.

The players of Yuying Middle School have already entered the lounge, they have changed their clothes as quickly as possible, and they have started to warm up and adapt to the new court.

The audience was already lively, and the cheerleaders of the two teams were not to be outdone, cheering for their teams in different ways, blowing the trumpet, waving the flag, completely ignoring the fact that the game had not yet started.

An Rong looked at the table below, there were about twenty minutes left in the game, and he called everyone into the break room to give some guidance on tactics.

When all the players walked into the locker room, another five minutes passed. In this way, excluding the time for the players to go in and out of the locker room, An Rong only has less than ten minutes to explain the tactics. But this is not a big problem, what is the team's main tactics, everyone knows, plus the opponent is an old acquaintance, and everyone's cooperation in training is also very mature, An Rong has not much to say, mainly to encourage the morale of the players, and mention the key places by the way.

"It's not the first time we've played against them at Mingyang High School, and we know each other very well. Although we won the previous games, the opponent must have studied our tactics and key players. So we can't take this game lightly, and we must not be careless just because the opponent is our subordinate, understand?"

"Got it!"

"We still have a 4-4-1-1 formation, the tactics remain the same for the time being, and as I have said in the past few days, I will not repeat it here. I've already announced the main lineup before, so I won't say much about it now. Okay, let's go. ”

"Yes!"

The players of both teams have already begun to enter the field, and as the players appear on the court, the cheerleaders of both sides also shout loudly. Since Mingyang High School is the home field, Yuying Middle School has almost no advantage in this momentum.

At this time, Zhang Shujie found that Yuan Hong, the captain of Mingyang High School, did not appear on the court, and the captain's armband was worn on Xu Bo's arm. He looked at the bench at Mingyang High School again, where Yuan Hong was also there.

"Strange, why didn't Yuan Hong play? Is it a tactical arrangement or is he injured?"

Zhang Shujie was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard a whistle and the game began.

In the first half, Mingyang High School served first, and Xu Bo, the captain of the 11th, launched an attack directly after winning the ball, and the players pressed almost all the lines, leaving only a central defender, Sun Zekang, in the backcourt to contain Zhang Shujie.

Mingyang High School came suddenly, and everyone was unexpected. Only 20 seconds into the opening game, the ball has been passed to the feet of the fullback who assisted forward, the player crossed with his left foot, and Xu Bo, who responded, jumped high, but he did not touch the ball, Yan Tao came out from the halfway and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

An Rong shouted loudly on the sidelines: "Pay attention to defense! Pay attention to defense!" An Rong was a little unhappy about the surprise attack on the team just now.

Zhou Ying whispered to Wang Shihan: "It was so dangerous just now." ”

Wang Shihan smiled: "The game has just begun, and everyone may not be in the state yet. ”

After this fright, the team members of Yuying Middle School quickly cheered up. The captain of Mingyang High School did not play, and the striker Xu Bo inevitably fought alone and did not receive effective support. But he doesn't have the same outstanding skills as Zhang Shujie, and he can't withdraw to the midfield to make the ball for his teammates.

The game quickly entered a stalemate, with both players fighting fiercely in the midfield, but the ball just couldn't reach the feet of their strikers. The impact of Yuan Hong's absence on Mingyang High School is very obvious, and as for Yuying Middle School, their midfield has not been very strong.

Twenty minutes passed, and both teams had just two shots on goal from outside the box. Xu Bo is basically in a state of isolation, Zhang Shujie is not very good, and the help that the midfielder can give him is really limited.

The game was very dull.

Tang Feng also saw the doorway, Xu Bo, the striker of Mingyang High School, has a strong impact and has certain skills, but it is not his strong point to break through from the midfield to the front of the penalty area. Overall, he is a skilled striker who can play two tricks around the opponent's penalty area, but the difficult way of "riding alone" is too reluctant for Xu Bo.

Therefore, once Yuan Hong is absent, Xu Bo's shooting opportunities will be greatly reduced. On the other hand, Zhang Shujie, the situation is different, in junior high school, Zhang Shujie has Li Mu behind him, and these two ace combinations have also achieved each other's titles of "top scorer" and "assist king" with one pass and one shot. But judging from the first two games, even if Zhang Shujie didn't have Li Mu to assist him, he still had a way to score.

Xu Bo can't do this.

So far, Zhang Shujie is still cruising in the front court. Due to the lack of creativity of the midfielders, and being closely defended by Sun Zekang, the central defender of Mingyang High School, he did not have a too outstanding performance. Tang Feng believes that in a team like Yuying Middle School, Zhang Shujie wants to score more goals only by returning to the midfield.

Sure enough, in the twenty-fifth minute of the game, Zhang Shujie's position began to retreat, and An Rong stood on the sidelines and saw all this.

Zhang Shujie withdrew to the midfield, so the other person had to advance from the back and do his best to help him. An Rong is also helpless to do this, the current midfield configuration of Yuying Middle School can not give Zhang Shujie much support, as a coach he has to find a way from the backfield.

Zhang Shujie's retreat is just a preparation, he still has to get the ball himself, and now the possession is still at Mingyang High School, and Xu Bo is carrying the ball. It depends on whether Yan Tao can snatch the ball from the opponent's feet.

Yan Tao was facing Xu Bo, and his strong physique and ferocious kicks forced Xu Bo to protect the ball with his back. In order not to delay the timing of the attack, Xu Bo didn't want to fight him hard, so he passed the ball to his teammates.

Xu Bo ran into the penalty area, waiting for a pass from his teammate. But Yan Tao did not leave him an inch, and at the same time commanded his teammates to step forward and grab. Without Yuan Hong present, Yan Tao could follow Xu Bo boldly with confidence.

Kong Xiao and Duan Song pinched the teammate who was holding the ball one after another, and finally snatched the ball. At this time, An Rong shouted: "Yan Tao!"

As soon as Yan Tao raised his head, he saw An Rong make an "offensive" gesture, so without thinking, he asked for the ball at his teammates.

After Yan Tao got the ball, he forced out a space with his body, and in order to prevent the opponent from blocking him with fouls, he also made a small range of two-to-one with his teammates and came to the center circle.

At this moment, about ten meters away, Zhang Shujie saw that he was approaching the middle line, so he quickly turned around and started! Yuying Middle School's attack and defense one after the other, at this moment, began to release its power!
