Chapter 13: The First Record
At 14:30 noon on June 15, 2010, with the referee's whistle, the final battle of the 10th Huaguo University Football League National Finals - Yuzhou University VS Xiyu Normal University officially began.
Before the start of the game, coach Tan Tangping reminded everyone to pay attention to the Uyghur players of Western Regions Normal University using their physical and physical advantages to press the whole court and break down the formation of Yuzhou University.
But no matter how the coach reminded them, the players of Yuzhou University did not compete with each other in person, and they could not intuitively feel the physical and physical advantages of the Uyghurs in the Western Regions.
Now, when the game really starts, the players of Yuzhou University know how good their opponents are.
The skills of the players of Western Regions Normal University are not good, and they can even be said to be very rough, which is rougher than the teams that Yuzhou University has encountered before.
But what is a headache is that the height, physique, and physical advantages of Uyghur players are too obvious, and they rely on these physical advantages to defeat all the opponents in front of them and enter the finals.
From the very beginning of the game, Western Regions Normal University carried out a full-court press that did not care about physical fitness.
As a college team, even if Yuzhou University technically has an advantage over the players in the Western Regions, it is still an amateur team after all, and it has not reached the point of advancing and retreating freely.
What's more, under the pressure of the opponent's strong height and physical advantages, the players of Yuzhou University could not fully exert their technical advantages, unable to hold the ball, let alone organize the attack.
Cheng Hai's 12-point physique used to have a clear advantage against other teams in the group stage or knockout rounds, but now he has no advantage against Western Regions Normal University, and the physique of most Uyghur players is not weaker than him.
Even, in the collision with one of the opponent's central defenders, Cheng Hai vaguely felt that the opponent's physique was harder and stronger than himself.
Coupled with the difference in height and weight, Cheng Hai is simply untenable in the opponent's penalty area.
Even if you run out of space with superb off-ball running, you can't catch the ball and can't form a threatening shot because your teammates' passing skills are not in place or your passing and cutting coordination is not tacit.
20 minutes have passed, and neither Cheng Hai nor Shen Hui have formed a threatening shot on goal.
On the side of the Western Regions Normal University, although their skills are not good, they still create a lot of shooting opportunities in the front court with their physical strength and scrambling.
There were a lot of shots, but after all, it was a goal.
In the 23rd minute, the fullback of Western Regions Normal University, Delemurati, made a two-by-one collision with his teammates and successfully crossed the bottom of the cross, and the No. 10 striker Eshal beat the two defenders of Yuzhou University in the penalty area with his strong body and passing height, and successfully grabbed the first point to shake his head and attack the goal.
The ball is not tricky, but Mao Rongbo, the goalkeeper of Yuzhou University, is not a professional player, and his save reaction is a little slow, so he failed to touch the ball.
The ball crossed Mao Rongbo's ten fingers and flew into the goal of Yuzhou University.
Western Regions Normal University opened the scoring and led Yuzhou University by one goal, and thousands of spectators on the sidelines burst into applause.
For these neutral Shengjing University of Technology students, they are neutral, it doesn't matter who wins the championship, as long as there is a wonderful goal, they can give it a round of applause.
And for scout Emory, who was hidden in the crowd and held a video camera while watching the game, the 23-minute game was really nothing to watch.
After receiving the video of the semi-final match sent to him by a friend yesterday, he rushed to Shengjing overnight to watch the final, and he didn't rest well, but he didn't expect the final to be like this.
His subject of observation was Cheng Hai, but the 23-minute game did not show anything that caught his eye.
Although compared with other players on the field, Cheng Hai is not bad in terms of physique, speed, stopping, dribbling, running without the ball, etc., but it is only compared with these Chinese college amateur players, and it is not at all up to the level that makes him shine and can be recommended to the club's first team.
A player of this level, let alone entering the club's first team, is even choking on whether the Under-19 youth team can get in.
Therefore, Emery's face showed a deep sense of disappointment!
The only motivation that sustained him to continue watching was the archery skills shown by the video mileage sea.
In this game, under the crazy robbery and prevention of the Western Regions Normal University, Cheng Hai has not yet got a chance to shoot.
No matter what, Emory still has to watch the game to see if Cheng Hai's shooting skills can be as superb as shown in the video when he gets the chance to shoot.
Look at Cheng Hai's performance in the video, whether it is a flash in the pan or whether he really has such outstanding and superb archery skills.
When Emery was slightly disappointed on the sidelines, Cheng Hai on the field looked at the players of Western Regions Normal University who were celebrating and also made a decision.
He was glad that he hadn't used up all of his skill points and added them all to the dribbling.
After these 20 minutes of play, Cheng Hai has been able to judge that what he lacks most at present is not dribbling, nor stopping the ball or anything, but physique.
Both he and Shen Hui couldn't stand in the penalty area and couldn't get the ball, so they couldn't form a shot.
As long as his physique can form an overwhelming advantage, he can stand up in the penalty area, and become the bridgehead of Yuzhou University in the opponent's penalty area, then it will be much easier for him to shoot or Shen Hui to shoot.
In this game, it doesn't matter to Cheng Hai whether he can score or not, the important thing is that the team wins and wins the championship, so that he can complete the task and get the opportunity to go to Europe for a trial.
Therefore, even if he makes a wedding dress for Shen Hui at that time, he doesn't care.
So, during the time when the players of Western Regions Normal University celebrated their goals, Cheng Hai called up the system menu and added all his remaining 6 skill points to the "physique", so that the original 12-point physique jumped to 15.
Later, you have to add a little bit every 5 skill points, not to mention that Cheng Hai doesn't have any skill points.
But with a physique of 15, it can already gain a foothold in European professional football, and it is definitely enough in today's Chinese college student competition, and it has more than enough advantages.
Uyghur players have some physical advantages over mainland players, but they are not really professional players after all.
Facing Cheng Hai, a physique that is already enough to gain a foothold in the European Professional League, the players of Western Regions Normal University are helpless against him.
After the game restarted, a scene that surprised Western Regions Normal University and the audience appeared.
Cheng Hai, who had been mediocre before, began to constantly impact the forbidden area of Western Regions Normal University, while the Uyghur defenders of Western Regions Normal University, who were generally more than 180cm tall, were helpless against Cheng Hai, who was only 175cm tall and weighed only 58kg, and looked quite thin and thin.
can't pull down, can't bump, is what everyone saw after the score became 1-0 in the 23rd minute, the performance of the defenders of Western Regions Normal University in the face of Cheng Hai.
Even Emery had an incredulous expression.
In his opinion, with Cheng Hai's height and weight, the confrontation ability he showed before was good enough.
Unexpectedly, now Cheng Hai has become even better, and can even resist the pull and collision of two people, which is simply incredible.
"Is it stimulated by falling behind the score?" Emory muttered, but felt incredulous in his heart.
But in any case, at this time, Cheng Hai did show something that interested Emory.
Of course, the archery he wanted to see the most had not yet been shown, because Cheng Hai had not yet had a chance to shoot.
With his outstandingly physique and off-ball movement, Cheng Hai did start to create some open opportunities in the penalty area, but his teammates didn't give him the right amount of the ball at his feet.
But Western Regions Normal University is not a professional team, and it can always limit the midfield of Yuzhou University.
So, after wasting several empty opportunities to run, in the 35th minute of the first half, Yuzhou University finally seized the opportunity.
This is a counterattack after the midfielder of Yuzhou University broke the ball, although it was not very fast, but Western Regions Normal University failed to return to the defense in place, causing Cheng Hai to easily run out of the gap in the penalty area, and with his strong physique, one of the defenders who followed him was stuck behind.
And this time, Yuzhou University also played a rare exquisite cooperation, and finally the fullback Xie Hu, who held the ball, also sent the ball to Cheng Hai in a timely manner.
It was the best shot on goal for Yuzhou University in the opening 35 minutes.
Countless people looked at Cheng Hai to see if he could score the ball.
Especially Emery, who was on the sidelines, stared straight at Cheng Hai to see what he did in this opportunity.
And Cheng Hai's performance did not disappoint.
Cheng Hai, who was two meters to the left of the penalty spot in the penalty area, opened his arms and stuck a defender who was defending him behind him, glanced at the goalkeeper's position, and then faced Xie Hu's bocce ball from outside the penalty area, and pumped the ball to the far corner of the goal without stopping.
Cheng Hai's shot was too timely and decisive, and one of the defenders who rushed over in the middle to tackle it also missed.
The ball flew past him on tiptoe and towards the far corner.
The goalkeeper guarding the near corner saw Cheng Hai hit the far corner and made a save, but he couldn't reach it and was far from the ball.
He could only look at the ball that was heading towards the goal, praying in his heart that Cheng Hai's ball was deflected off the far post and rolled directly out of the bottom line.
However, it backfired, Cheng Hai's 20-year-old shooting skills, even if there were close defensive interference around him, he still used his 15 physique to stabilize his body and hit a high-quality shot.
The ball slammed into the goal of Western Regions Normal University, and then bounced into the net from the inside of the post.
Cheng Hai finally scored his first goal in the final to help Yuzhou University equalize 1-1, and he also gained 100 points of scoring experience, and the experience rose to 400/2000 at level 6.
With a "whoosh", the audience thundered and cheered on the sidelines, and Emery's eyes lit up and he nodded.
Cheng Hai is quite decisive in the handling of this ball, and the shooting skills shown are even more superb to the peak.
Being able to hit the ball into the far corner and bounce just inside the post into the net is the pinnacle of the shot.
Although I don't know if this ball is luck or really a manifestation of Cheng Hai's shooting skills, it is enough to make Emery's eyes shine.
At least, Cheng Hai finally showed something that made him look good, and felt that this trip was worth it.
Of course, if he wants to recommend Cheng Hai to the team, Cheng Hai needs more performance.
