Chapter 308: Many Difficulties
Dong Lifei was happy and said: "You kid still has the spirit to fight with me, which means that you can still bear it, let's go, go and say goodbye to Guanglin Middle School, don't let them think that we can't afford to lose." ”
He pulled Chang Le up, and the two walked side by side towards the people in Guanglin Middle School.
When the two generals of the Hong Kong No. 3 Middle School came, everyone stopped celebrating and hugged them one by one. For this exceptionally good dark horse team, they also did not hesitate to send their blessings.
After the Guanglin Middle School team left the field, they were blocked in the aisle by a large group of reporters, who were originally going for the defending champions, but who knew that they witnessed an incredible reversal.
The reporter from Haidong TV squeezed the hardest in the crowd, flaunting his identity and handing the microphone to Zhang Guangda's mouth, trying to interview him, Zhang Guangda was still relatively polite in the face of his fellow countrymen, briefly praised the opponent, and affirmed the performance of his players. In short, the answer is still not revealed.
In the face of the reporters' pursuit and interception, the team members felt unbearable, and quickly passed through the aisle and rushed into the locker room. Even Wang Bai didn't want to stay long in the face of this situation, and hurriedly lowered his head to avoid all the microphones.
After a short rest, Ge Cheng seemed to be basically fine, but the medical staff diagnosed that he might have a slight concussion and suggested that he go back to the hospital for a check-up.
He was carried back to the locker room to receive medical care just now, and the last time can be described as anxious. It wasn't until his teammates poured into the dressing room, all with excited smiles on their faces, that he was sure his team had won the game and was reassured.
In the locker room, the Guanglin Middle School team had another round of celebration, and everyone laughed loudly and talked about the various situations in the game just now. Coach Zhang Guangda was so happy that his eyes narrowed into a slit, and his mouth was almost grinning to the back of his head.
This group of lads actually did it, they broke into the final four, and they eliminated the defending champions! This is something he would never have imagined before leading the team to compete.
All of this was brought about by Wang Bai, an incredible young man. Zhang Guangda really loves and resents him, he thinks that if Wang Bai had joined the school team a year earlier, he would definitely be able to build the team more perfectly.
After returning to the hotel, everyone had already learned the result of the other game, Qizhou Middle School and Yanjing No. 7 Middle School played a 2-2 draw in 90 minutes, and finally entered a penalty shootout, Yanjing No. 7 Middle School won 4-3.
While most of the players are still basking in the joy of victory, some players are already beginning to realize the dilemma they will face in the next game.
The opponent is the host team, and it is an old powerhouse, and its strength is almost no less than that of Liangang No. 3 Middle School. On the side of Guanglin Middle School, Lei Hu was suspended for accumulating two yellow cards, he is a middle barrier, and his importance does not need to be repeated, and the midfield configuration of the major general, which is already short of soldiers, is even more stretched.
The post-game summary meeting was very brief, probably not wanting to pour cold water on the excited players too early, the coach deliberately avoided the fact that Lei Hu was about to be suspended, praised the performance of the whole team without hesitation, and announced that the whole team would be off for the next two days. However, everyone is asked to play appropriately and avoid fatigue.
In fact, he is already very satisfied with the team's current record, this time they not only broke through the best time in history to win the quarter-finals, but also made it to the semi-finals very tenaciously. In terms of the configuration and run-in of this team, it can really only be described as a miracle.
The win against Liangang No. 3 Middle School is indeed thrilling, if He Wenbin scored with the last shot. I believe that the referee will blow the whistle immediately for the end of the game, then the result will be completely different from now.
After the meeting ended, the captain Ge Cheng. The deputy captain Lu Guanghe, Lei Hu and Wang Bai all took the initiative to stay, and these were people who had already realized the problem.
"I'm sorry, coach, I ......" Lei Hu looked very annoyed, and the flamboyance of celebrating the victory just now was also completely reined in, and he became a little depressed.
He will miss key games, which will undoubtedly cause great problems for the team.
"Don't blame yourself," Zhang Guangda relieved, Lei Hu's hard performance in the game is obvious to all, in the second half he was responsible for marking Dong Lifei, basically froze his play, otherwise it is really difficult to say who will die in this game. "It's the first time you've participated in a national competition, and it's very rare for you to have this kind of performance, so remember the experience of this competition and learn this lesson in the future."
Lu Guanghe said: "Coach, in fact, the ban of Lei Hu is just a problem, I think everyone's physical condition should also be taken seriously, after this game, even I feel very, very tired." ”
The intensive schedule of three games a week is a huge pressure for some players who have played the whole game in a row, and everyone has just ended this game by virtue of willpower to persist to the bottom, and the only people in the team whose physical condition is not affected are probably Wang Bai and Lei Hu, who have amazing endurance.
Zhang Guangda frowned and nodded when he heard this, the weakness of the lack of substitutes began to show at this time, those strong teams, such as Yanjing No. 7 Middle School, often have two complete lineups, and the substitute strength is not bad, you can make full use of rotation in the group stage, and reserve the physical fitness of the main players to a reasonable state.
In order to win, Guanglin Middle School can only continue to overdraw the physical strength of the main team, and there will be a lack of follow-up in the last few games.
Then Ge Cheng said: "Coach, to be honest, just now the medical staff told me to recuperate for a week and not to play during this time. I didn't tell everyone in the locker room just now because I was afraid that it would affect everyone's emotions......"
This news undoubtedly made matters worse, and at this time, everyone invariably focused on Wang Bai, and he was stunned for a moment, understanding what everyone meant.
At this point, he also understands that his dream of becoming a champion is no longer a motivation to motivate everyone to move forward, but a heavy burden that puts everyone under pressure.
In the eyes of everyone, Wang Bai is a different player from everyone else, his talent and ability are admirable, and the changes he has brought to the team are also exciting, he is a championship-level player.
However, most of the team members of Guanglin Middle School are just ordinary people after all, and they have followed Wang Bai to this point with their fighting spirit, which can be said to be the limit.
If he called on everyone to continue to fight, everyone would indeed fight hard, but after all, the fighting spirit could not recharge the tired body, and excessive overdraft of everyone's physical strength could be said to be a kind of injury, and the ending was often not as good as ideal.
At that time, the fighting spirit may be greatly destroyed, and those physically and mentally exhausted players may be resentful of Wang Bai.
Several people present, including the coach, although they didn't say it explicitly, but the look in their eyes was very obvious, that is, they hoped that Wang Bai would not put pressure on the players anymore, they were afraid that everyone would not be able to afford to be hurt.
"This year, we didn't have enough personnel and we didn't have enough preparation before the game, so everyone has done their best to get to this point, I understand ......," Wang Bai said thoughtfully, "In the next game, no matter what the result is, I can accept ......"
His own philosophy of football is to have fun, and the pursuit of glory is only to increase that happiness, and it would be contrary to his idea to force others to play for the sake of the championship.
If someone asks him to do something that is absolutely difficult to do, he himself will be very disgusted, so he can understand the concern of these people, that is, they don't want him, the core of the team, to stand on the opposite side of the whole team.
He's a leader but not a ball player.
Wang Bai's statement made several people breathe a sigh of relief, in fact, the whole team has been in a state of mental tension in the past few days, because Wang Bai's bold words in the face of the media have made everyone have high morale and are also under a lot of pressure. It can be said that while admiring Wang Bai's spirit, everyone also had a certain fear of him, and gradually distanced themselves from him.
Coach Zhang patted Wang Bai's shoulder and comforted: "Actually, you have proven yourself, there is no need to be discouraged." It takes a lot of courage to face the reality, I know it's a bit cruel for you, but that's the way the team is. ”
"I'm not discouraged, coach," Wang Bai said with a smile, "The victory over Liangang No. 3 High School is a valuable experience, and I believe that the gains are as great as mine." Maybe the status quo isn't enough to keep us going, but I'm sure that when we come back next year, there will be no team that can stop us from winning the title. ”
The process of hitting the championship for the first time has brought a lot of lessons to everyone, and with these precious things, after a year of full preparation, next year's Guanglin Middle School will definitely be the strongest school team in the past.
Solved a knot that everyone was worried about, and the pressure in the face of the semi-finals was suddenly reduced a lot, and everyone present reached a consensus that for the semi-finals of Yanjing No. 7 Middle School, the results were not forced, and all the players who were already overloaded were arranged to rotate to avoid excessive overdraft and injury.
After the meeting, Wang Bai returned to his room, and when he was alone, he couldn't help but show a trace of tiredness. The match against Liangang No. 3 was so difficult that even a person with super physical fitness like him felt tired when he relaxed his mind after the game, let alone the others?
Therefore, for the arrangement and arrangement of the next game, even if Wang Bai was a little unwilling, he could only accept it helplessly.
If you want to win the championship, it is indeed not a simple slogan and a fearless spirit can be done, it is also inseparable from sufficient pre-competition preparation.
Guanglin Middle School, which is accustomed to the 60-minute competition system in the Haidong Division, is far less physically trained than most of the teams participating in the competition.
And their squad is not neatly configured, and they can't even put together a full bench lineup. No matter how strong Wang Bai is, it is impossible to replace multiple positions on the field at the same time.
sighed lightly and was about to go into the bathroom to take a shower, at this time, the mobile phone rang, Wang Bai glanced at the caller, and was slightly surprised: How could Huang Wen call at this time? (To be continued......)
