Chapter 8: Big Four

After Cheng Hai scored a hat-trick to help Yuzhou University lead by two goals 3-1 over Iwabe University, coach Tan Tangping decisively began to make substitutions.

The schedule of the Grand Football Confederation Finals is very intensive, with the group stage on June 8, 9 and 11, the quarterfinals on the 12th, the semifinals on the 14th, and the finals and the third-place finals on the 15th.

In other words, the teams that make it to the semi-finals will have to take one day off every two games.

This is the third game in four days, and many of the main players who have started in a row are very tired.

Coupled with a 3-1 two-goal lead, Yuzhou University has a high probability of advancing to the knockout round.

Therefore, it is necessary to bring down two people and let them rest well and prepare for the quarter-finals.

So, coach Tan Tangping replaced Shen Hui, who had started three games in a row, and replaced him with a midfielder to strengthen the defense.

In addition, the forward He Jiaxing, who also played three games in a row, was also replaced and replaced with a substitute.

In the next game, Iwabe University, which was two goals behind, pressed all over the line and launched a ferocious attack on Yuzhou University, wanting to score a goal as soon as possible to equalize the score.

With one win and one draw in the first two group stage matches, this game can come up with a draw.

Therefore, two goals behind is not the end of the world, they still have to struggle.

There was a large gap in the backfield of Iwabe University, which was pressed across the board, which gave Yuzhou University a chance to counterattack.

And Cheng Hai's speed is the fastest in Yuzhou University, and it is the most suitable for counterattacking.

If it weren't for this advantage, it would have been impossible for Cheng Hai, who was thin and weak and had poor archery skills, to join the school team and participate in the national finals.

Tan Tangping's purpose in keeping Cheng Hai on the court is not only because Cheng Hai has played one less game than Shen Hui, but more importantly, he can use Cheng Hai's speed to counterattack.

If Yuzhou University can score one more goal, it will kill the game completely.

Of course, at the level of the college league, it is not easy to play a quality counterattack.

Either his teammates passed the ball off or lost it, or Cheng Hai was offside, and it was difficult to play a quality attack anyway.

However, on the other hand, Iwabe University, which attacked aggressively, has not been able to score.

Even if they pressed on all fronts, in the face of the intensive defense of Yuzhou University's contraction of the swing buses except for Cheng Hai, there were not many ways for Iwabe University to do so.

If you're a professional team, you might be able to hit a dozen long-range shots to break down the dense defense.

However, it is a stroke of luck for an amateur college team to hit the ball in the frame of the goal from outside the penalty area, let alone a high-quality long-range shot with good speed and angle.

Therefore, after the substitution from Yuzhou University until the 85th minute, Iwabe University did not score a goal.

At this moment, a midfielder from Iwabe University, who had too much physical exertion, was deformed and misrepresented under the opponent's pressure, and the ball was intercepted by Diao Can, a defender of Yuzhou University, in the middle of a grab.

Cheng Hai, who was standing near the center circle and was almost on the same line as Cui Chengyi, the last lagging central defender of Iwabe University, saw his teammates break the ball, his eyes lit up, and he quickly turned around and rushed towards the half court of Iwabe University.

And at the moment when Cheng Hai turned around and started, Diao Can, who broke off the ball, also kicked the ball far away with a big foot and flew directly to the front court.

At the moment when Diao Can kicked the ball out, Cheng Hai had already completed the transcendence of Cui Chengyi.

The referee did not blow the whistle.

Cheng Hai's anti-offside position was successful.

After failing N times, Yuzhou University's counterattack was finally completed.

Diao Can's big feet also kicked far enough, so that Cheng Hai didn't have to stop and wait for the ball, but could give full play to his speed advantage to the extreme.

This is the biggest capital that Cheng Hai was able to gain a foothold in Yuzhou University before, and at this time, he suddenly had a feeling of galloping, surpassing Cui Chengyi in an instant, and throwing Cui Chengyi farther and farther.

Although Cui Chengyi desperately chased back, he was already entangled with Cheng Hai, who was 12 physique, for most of the game, and his physical strength was almost exhausted.

Coupled with the difference in speed, everyone can see that the gap between the two is opened at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

The ball landed about 15 meters away from the line of the big penalty area, and Cheng Hai was about to run to the landing point to receive the ball to form a single knife.

The players and coaches on the sidelines could only pray that Cheng Hai would stop the ball and send it directly to goalkeeper Nie Changfeng, who was attacking into the penalty area.

However, their wishes were disappointed.

Although Cheng Hai's stopping skills, which have been increased to 13 points, are not the peak, they are also much better than the original, reaching the entry-level level of ordinary professional players.

What's more, he doesn't need to stop the ball at his feet and not move.

Therefore, I saw Cheng Hai run to the landing point, stretched out his foot to meet the falling ball and gently unloaded it, and the ball rolled forward two or three meters.

It's not that Cheng Hai stopped the ball wide, but because he had to continue to dribble the ball forward, and he couldn't stand in place and wait for Cui Chengyi behind him to catch up.

Cheng Hai's ball can't be said to be very good, but it didn't make too many mistakes, so that Cheng Hai could catch up and control the ball with a slight adjustment, and then rush to the penalty area.

Although Cui Chengyi, who was behind him, got a little closer when Cheng Hai stopped the ball, he was still three or four meters away from Cheng Hai and still couldn't stop Cheng Hai's single knife.

And the goalkeeper Nie Changfeng, who had already abandoned the goal, could only half-squat in the big penalty area and passively look at Cheng Hai outside the penalty area, praying that he would bring the ball over and be saved by himself, or shoot directly out of the goal.

Cheng Hai naturally wouldn't do what Nie Changfeng wanted.

The 19-point shooting technique is no joke.

I saw that when Cheng Hai dribbled the ball to a distance of about six or seven meters away from Nie Changfeng, he suddenly got up and shot at the goal.

Cheng Hai made a hanging shot.

The ball rose off the ground and flew towards Nie Changfeng's head.

Nie Changfeng immediately jumped up, wanting to block the ball.

But Cheng Hai's 19-point shooting technique made Nie Changfeng's save come to naught.

The ball flew above Nie Changfeng's palm, cut a parabola in the air, and then fell against the lower edge of the crossbar into the goal of Rockside University.

Cheng Hai scored again to score a senior and helped Yuzhou University lead 4-1 over Iwabe University to seal the win.

At this time, it was already the 85th minute of the second half, and Yuzhou University, which led by three goals, won.

Cheng Hai, who staged the senior year, was suddenly ecstatic and rushed to the coaches and substitute teammates on the sidelines, and the teammates on the field also surrounded him, and all the players on and off the field hugged together and celebrated.

At the same time, after the referee announced that Cheng Hai's goal was valid, the system also issued a reward to Cheng Hai for this goal.

Cheng Hai, who had already reached level 3 450/500, immediately automatically upgraded to level 4 50/700 after obtaining 100 experience points for this goal, and received 10 skill point rewards.

At the same time, Cheng Hai randomly opened a new skill "Running Without the Ball" because of the upgrade.
