Chapter 289: The First Battle Begins

PS: Please give me a recommendation ticket

Leaving the interview area, teammates crowded around Wang Bai and asked, "Brother Bai, it's very impressive, but do you really think we have a chance to win the championship?" ”

Coach Zhang walked in front and looked back at him with a smile, as a coach, he must be cautious when speaking, but after all, the players are young and vigorous, even if they are more complacent, it is not a big deal.

Wang Bai said to everyone: "The people who participated in the national competition are also high school students, and everyone has no three heads and six arms, I don't think our team is worse than others!" ”

"But the best result in the history of our school team is only the top 16...... someone said, and someone next to him echoed, "yes, I think it's great to be in the top eight......

"Do you all think that just reaching the quarterfinals is tantamount to making history?" He asked, and when he saw several people hesitating and nodding, he waved his hand and said, "!" The quarter-finals just created a new result, how can it be called history! Do any of you remember the quarter-finalists from previous tournaments? They are all fleeting, what is history? It's a milestone! We only have to win! To be the third team to win a national tournament and to be recorded in the list of winners of previous tournaments is the real history we have made ourselves! ”

Wang Bai's words made everyone stunned, but they didn't expect his heart to be so big, and his words also made everyone's blood boil.

Indeed, only by becoming a champion team can it be recorded in the glorious history of the national competition, and this can be called history!

The originally small and bleak championship dream in everyone's hearts was stimulated at this moment and suddenly lit up! But at the same time, everyone is also thinking about a common problem: to win the championship and make history...... Can we really do it?

In the living room of Kim Hyo-ri's house, two girls are sitting on the sofa with a bunch of snacks in front of them, and the TV is playing the program of Haidong Sports Channel. Half an hour after the announcement, the broadcast of the national football competition will begin, with Guanglin Middle School playing against Zhenglin Middle School.

The TV was playing clips of the reporter's interview with the coaches and players of the Guanglin Middle School football team. Jin Xiaoli and Liu Yan listened to Wang Bai's bold words and couldn't help but discuss.

"So open-mouthed in front of the TV cameras? He's too bold, isn't it a joke if he loses? ”

"Wang Bai won't say big things casually, I think he must have a certain degree of certainty." Liu Yan hesitated slightly, "I hope he doesn't put too much pressure on himself." ”

The commentator of the TV station is Wu Jiang, the host of the famous sports column in Haidong, and he said with a smile: "The young man from Guanglin Middle School has the momentum of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and it is probably the first time to participate in the national competition, and his understanding of the strength of his opponent is still in the stage of the regional league." It's good to have faith, but the reality is often harsh. Fortunately, the coach of the Guanglin Middle School team is still relatively sober. ”

Then he began to introduce the basic overview of the two teams, and talked about Guanglin Middle School for representing the Haidong region for eight consecutive years, and he also expressed his appreciation, after all, there are very few teams in the 32 divisions that can do this.

Zhenglin Middle School has participated in the competition for four consecutive years, and from their results, they have been improving year after year, but Wu Jiang analyzed that the high school team often enters a low ebb in three years, and the first to lead the team to the national competition, and the most experienced players have now graduated. The current situation of Zhenglin Middle School should be similar to that of Guanglin Middle School, which will not rely too much on the senior players, focus on cultivating the main force of the lower grades, and the whole team is in a transitional stage. Next year is when they make a difference.

The two teams, which are also in the transition stage, can be said to be unpredictable, so Wu Jiang predicts that it will be a close match, depending on who can control the turnover rate relatively low.

Ten minutes before the start of the game, Wu Jiang introduced the lineups of the two sides. Guanglin Middle School still maintains the lineup of the last few rounds of the league, and the starters are No. 1 goalkeeper Ge Cheng and No. 5 central defender Lu Guanghe. No. 11 central defender Liu Haichuan, No. 4 fullback Wu Yanfeng, No. 12 fullback Song Jiemin, No. 20 midfielder Lei Hu, No. 16 midfielder Xue Zhichao, No. 7 forward Zhao Jianbin, No. 19 forward Wang Bai, No. 8 winger Yu Peng, No. 9 center forward Hao Bin.

"The formation of the Guanglin Middle School team is an unconventional four-five formation, which can be said to be very tight defensively, but at the same time, it requires a lot of individual ability from the frontcourt players, and they must be good at creating opportunities and seizing opportunities."

At the scene of the game, there were seven or eight thousand people sitting in the stands that can accommodate 10,000 spectators, and the scene was very spectacular, but most of these spectators were high school students near the stadium, and the school organized to watch the game. There are probably only about 1,000 people who actually bought tickets to enter the venue.

Huang Wen and her landlord scout sat in the VIP seats, and the view of the game was good. The scout was gray-haired, about sixty years of age, with his eyes half-open and half-closed, and he was probably tired from the journey.

The big screen on the stadium showed the starting lineups of the two teams, and he asked Wang Bai's jersey number, and after getting the answer, he continued to maintain that listless appearance.

In a house somewhere in Jiangning, Xu Wushuang sat on the sofa with his elderly father watching TV, peeling apples in his hand, and she hurriedly stopped watching her father transfer to the sports channel. When I found out that it was the group stage of the team in Wusu Province that was being broadcast, I couldn't help but feel a little stupid. Secretly thought: Wang Bai's game will probably only be broadcast on Haidong TV, unless he can break into the quarterfinals.

In the football event of the High School Sports Conference, the defending champion team's game will be broadcast live on the central station, and the matches after the quarterfinals will be recorded and broadcast, and the national audience will have the opportunity to watch it.

In the Guanglin Sanatorium, the TV was playing in the double room where Grandma Lu lived, and the two old ladies accompanied Lu Lu to watch the sports channel broadcast game.

Grandma Lu doesn't know football, she only knows that the children of the Maotou family are playing in Yanjing, Lu Lu wants to watch it, so she accompanies it, "Lu Lu, which one is Wang Bai here?" ”

"I didn't see it either, the camera will be swept in a while, I'll show you." Lu Lu moved the chair at the end of the bed, very close to the TV, staring intently.

The camera swept over their faces one by one of the shots of the players on both sides on the screen, Wang Bai followed behind the team, Lu Lu raised his hand in surprise after seeing it: "Come out, come out!" ”

Although she had a bit of a stiff quarrel with Wang Bai because of something, she didn't show any unhappiness in front of her grandmother in private, and she really cared about Wang Bai's performance in the national competition.

TV commentator Wu Jiang rushed a few minutes before the start of the game and introduced the historical records of the two teams in the national competition at a very fast pace, which can be said to be evenly matched. However, there is no record of the two sides playing each other.

In addition, based on the performance of the two teams in the qualifiers of their respective regions, he analyzed the tactical play of the two. He predicted that this game would be dominated by the Zhenglin Middle School team and the Guanglin Middle School team would be the main defender.

After guessing the side, the Guanglin Middle School team won the tee-off right. The picture cut to the middle circle, and Wu Jiang calmly explained: "Guanglin Middle School is responsible for the kick-off is No. 9 Hao Bin and No. 19 Wang Bai, both of whom are starting for the first time in the national competition. ”

"Oh, Nineteen made a small gesture, he kissed the red knot on his left wrist, and hopefully it will bring him good luck."

All the spectators who were watching the game noticed this subtle detail. Lu Lu felt that her ears were slightly hot.

Located in a private house in the northbound, Qi Jueying and Shen Zhujun sisters were also watching the game, and when they saw this picture, their sister asked their sister: "That was what you gave him?" ”

"It's not." Qi Jueying pursed her lips, her expression was slightly unhappy, and she secretly thought: Eighty percent was sent by Senior Sister Jin.

Shen Zhujun immediately sneered, and estimated that he was excited: "It must have been sent by another woman." ”

"Is it okay to shut up and watch the game?" Qi Jueying glanced at her sister.

"The game started, Guanglin Middle School passed the ball directly to the backcourt, and it seemed that they were ready to take it one step at a time. Steady. ”

At the scene of the game, the formation of the Guanglin Middle School team quickly dispersed, and the ball was passed between the four players in the back line before being sent to the feet of left midfielder Xue Zhichao.

He glanced up and saw that the formation of the Zhenglin Middle School team was still mostly cowering in its half. Waiting for Guanglin Middle School to press, it was the opponent's striker who was pressing him.

Coach Zhang had a clear command before the game, the team focused on defense, and did not invest many troops in the front court. Therefore, when the opponent adopts the tactics of shrinking, try not to be brutal, and is willing to fall in the backfield. Try to lure the other person out.

Anyway, the advantage of the two sides over physical fitness is on the side of Zhenglin Middle School, and it is really a waste to start fighting hard so early. Therefore, Xue Zhichao passed the ball back to the team's backline, and the players of Guanglin Middle School also began to shrink the formation, and Wang Bai was free near the arc of the center circle.

"Both sides played very conservatively at the start and each wanted to draw each other deep into their own half. The Guanglin Middle School team started to fall in the backfield again, and this time even the goalkeeper was involved. ”

Zhenglin Middle School's formation began to press, they discharged the 442 position, and the forward line pressed to the 30-meter area of the front field, which began to put pressure on the back line of Guanglin Middle School.

However, the opposition's loose stance also gave them the opportunity to attack, this time starting from the right wing, and the ball was sent to the feet of Zhao Jianbin who has excellent dribbling ability.

The opponent's avant-garde quickly marked in place and forced him, but he didn't know much about Zhao Jianbin and was shaken by a feint, and he was already two positions behind when he chased back.

"Guanglin Middle School has formed a breakthrough in the right midfield, and the No. 7 player's skills are very good, his name is Zhao Jianbin and he was already the main player of the Guanglin Middle School team in the national competition last year."

After Zhao Jianbin broke through the defense, Wang Bai quickly approached him, his current speed was already at the limit of his body, so running without the ball was like a gust of wind.

Wang Bai inserted diagonally into the right front, received a pass from Zhao Jianbin , and then took the ball to the middle. When he turned sideways, the opposing midfielder was still in hot pursuit.

But his dribbling speed was not much slower than running without the ball, and even TV commentators couldn't help but exclaim: "The speed of the nineteenth is so fast!" He is already approaching the penalty area of the Zhenglin Middle School team, and the No. 9 center forward of the Guanglin Middle School team is retreating? I don't know what he wants to do, why is he not looking for opportunities in the forbidden area? ”

"They did a wall-kicking match, and Nineteen went in! Ball! What about balls? Oops, the ball is broken...... The idea of the Guanglin Middle School team is very good, but unfortunately No. 9's passing ability seems to be lacking, the ball is cut off by the opposing central defender, and now the ball is at the feet of the Zhenglin Middle School team. However, the speed of the nineteenth is indeed surprising, and the Zhenglin Middle School team should be careful. (To be continued......)
