At half-time, the atmosphere in the team's locker room was as heavy as Sun Junshan's calm and almost numb face. He was the last to enter the locker room, closed the door softly, and sat quietly on a wooden chair in the corner, looking at the team members sitting against the wall opposite. These are all players who have just fought desperately on the field, all of them still have sand on their foreheads, faces and arms, the jerseys they have just taken off can wring out water, and some of them still carry the memorial left by their opponents - the team doctor is treating a wound on Zhang Chi's eyebrow bone, antiseptic alcohol is smeared on the wound, and the pain makes him suck in cold air, and the muscles on his cheeks twitch and jump. Ma Cheng leaned his head against the wall, his nose was wide open, and his undulating chest was like a blower; And Wei Honglin, who was inescapable of conceding two goals, sat opposite him, his eyes glazed like a living person......

Sun Junshan sighed silently in his heart. Hey, he can't blame these teammates, they all tried their best!

Zheng Changsheng, who was standing in front of the main players, was also looking at his players. Unlike Sun Junshan, the old coach is worried about the current physical condition of the players, especially veteran players like Ma Cheng, whether they still have the physical strength to persevere. With 45 minutes to go, they still have a chance, and to take it, you have to be fit enough first.

But the more critical question is how to arrange the tactics in the second half. And on this issue, Zheng Changsheng was a little hesitant.

After conceding two goals in the first half, and less than three minutes between them, how will the next game be played? Is it a desperate attack to catch up with the score? In that case, you have to be prepared to concede another goal – if you concede another goal, you won't have to play this game! And they also pushed themselves to a dead end, and there was no room for turning around in the next two games! Not offensive? Qingdao people must wish for this, so that they can get three points, and two goal difference, and their road to A B will have an extra heavy weight - a weight cast with the sweat and tears of dozens of people up and down in the new era!

Dai Zhenguo, who had just finished answering the phone, leaned over and whispered: "The first half of Changsha Qinyuan and Chengdu Ipsen is also over, and Qinyuan leads 3-0. "It was the decision of the tournament organising committee to start the two matches at the same time. These guys have finally done a good thing, although it may not really have any effect, but it at least reduces the chance of someone with a heart to make trouble.

"Huh?" This sudden news made Zheng Changsheng's brows wrinkle together.

He drooped his eyebrows and thought for a long time, then clapped his hands, focused everyone's attention, and announced the news: "Qinyuan has scored three goals. ”

The words did not cause the slightest ripple in the dressing room. Qinyuan's victory is something that everyone expected, the new era in the last game of the group stage under the pressure of the biased referee, pay such a big price, and work hard to draw with Chengdu Ipsen, isn't it just to avoid the edge of Changsha Qinyuan? But there are also people who slander in their stomachs, they feel that the price is too heavy, foreign aid Seryosha can't play due to injury, Chen Mingcan is still lying on the hospital bed, and there are three yellow cards, but in exchange for only conceding twice in three minutes, this result is too ironic......

Zheng Changsheng continued: "We have been cornered. "It's true that everybody knows that the new era of lack of major generals will not be able to get out of the next game, they can only pin their hopes on the other two games.

Sun Junshan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something. But in the end, he chose to remain silent. The old coach is telling the truth, although this fact is too cruel, but it is the truth after all.

"We can only fight with Qingdao Double Happiness."

Still no one talked. Rekindling the flame of hope in the ashes of despair is not something that can be succeeded by paying lip service alone.

'We weren't in a bad situation in the first half, we had two chances, but most of the time we were in control. I am very satisfied with this, and Mr. Sun is also very satisfied! ”

Sun Junshan, who was suddenly named, was a little cramped and flustered, but he quickly calmed down, and a calm and calm smile appeared on his face, nodded to a few team members who looked at him, and stood up and said, "Yes, yes...... I'm satisfied, well, satisfied...... Let's work hard in the second half and try to turn the game over! Football is round, anything can happen on the pitch! ”

The first half of this sentence is obviously wrong, but the last sentence speaks to everyone's heart. Yes, football is round, who can say that Qingdao Double Happiness will be able to win this game? Besides, three months back, who knows if their team will still be able to play until now? Anything can happen on the pitch, that's an unbreakable truth!

Seeing that the players' minds were a little lively, and there was some anger in their eyes, Zheng Changsheng immediately said: "Let's still play like this in the second half!" "Attack, this is the keynote, but we can't attack in a chaotic way like in the first half, we must pay more attention to the success rate, we must master the rhythm, and we must pursue details." …… Ma Cheng, you still have to plug in as in the first half, resolutely and decisively, when the striker is involved in the change of position and running, you have to grasp the opportunity, especially not to start at the same time with Zhang Chi, and not to run with him; And you, you have to be bold to cut in, don't rush to pass, dare to break through with the ball! Zheng Changsheng pointed to the forward who switched from the middle to the right and drew several routes for him on the board. After he presses, you," he pointed to the right wing-back, "you have to fill in in the position in time, and if it's favorable, press up......" He praised almost everyone, while also pointing out everyone's shortcomings and shortcomings, including Wei Honglin, who made mistakes in the final moments of the game, but for the most part, he did his job well, making Qingdao Shuangxi's No.10 almost disappear from the pitch.

"Gao Jinsong, your position can be a little more advanced and withstand their central defender......" Zheng Changsheng said. He is very satisfied with the performance of this young player, Gao Jinsong not only meticulously completed his tactical arrangement, but also has the ruthlessness to dare to open up at critical times, which he especially appreciates - in the face of the opponent's fierce defense, not everyone dares to continue to make moves!

"Hmm." Gao Jinsong responded. His head was still a little dizzy, and he was tilting his face to have the team doctor apply a tape to his left cheek, where there was a bloody cut of a centimeter long - before the end of the first half, he was smothered in the face by a double happy defender as he leaned over to the top.

"You have to try to push the ball to this position, between their No. 5 central defender and No. 3 fullback, Ma Cheng, and Zhang Chi, you have to try to break through from this position......"

Gao Jinsong rubbed the other half of his sore and hot cheeks vigorously, trying to see the drawing board held by the coach clearly. On the board, around the jersey number that represents him, it is full of his teammates and their running routes.

He stretched out his tongue to moisten his dry lips, smacked his lips, sighed silently in his heart, and saw that Zheng Changsheng was already continuing to instruct his other teammates, so he bent down and untied his sneakers, and asked the team doctor to spray some medicine on the injury of his right ankle, and asked for a clean and dry bandage, ready to wrap it again.

Zheng Changsheng circled the drawing board with a paint pen, gradually instructed all the team members in all positions, and asked Dai Zhenguo if there was anything that needed to be added.

Dai Zhenguo shook his head. What else can he add? He originally advocated that this game should be based on defense and wait for the opportunity to counterattack, if it was according to his idea, how could this game fall into the current difficult situation? And he really doesn't have the ability to bring the team back to life, instead of arguing with Zheng Changsheng here, it is better to treat the dead horse as a live horse doctor and let Zheng Changsheng toss it alone - what if he really tosses a good one?

However, he still said two words: "At the beginning of the second half and towards the end of the game, everyone's attention must be focused, the opponent will definitely rush us at these two times, we can't give them another chance." When attacking, you must pay attention to the layer, and several lines must be well connected, so as not to leave a gap for the opponent to take advantage of. ”

Zhang Chi and Ma Cheng also talked about captain-level figures like Mingshan from their respective positions and said some of their views on the game, and Ma Cheng especially emphasized one point, that is, the referee must not cause conflicts. This suggestion was immediately affirmed and praised by Zheng Changsheng.

Gao Jinsong, who was wrapping a bandage around his ankle, was very angry and wanted to say something, but he knew that he was not qualified to express his opinion on such an occasion, not only here, but also on the court, he was not qualified to command his teammates, but these words made him very uncomfortable in his heart. What makes him even more uncomfortable is that if he plays exactly as Zheng arranged in the second half, his position on the field will make him even more depressed - his position is between the opponent's back line and the midfield, completely surrounded by the opponent, all his advantages can not be used, and the most important thing is that he is surrounded by his own teammates, who will block his offensive lane, and will also attract more defenders, which will further limit his area of movement. Alas! He was given the role of a centre-forward, but he was not allowed to move in and out of the opponent's box as freely as a real centre-forward, and he could only move on the edge of the opponent's penalty area......

Until the bandages were wrapped and the socks were tidied up, and then the sneakers were put on, Gao Jinsong couldn't make up his mind whether to say or not. Eventually, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and swallowed back everything he wanted to say. He was too young to question and correct the manager's authority. He could only tell Wei Honglin beside him his opinion: "Don't get too close to me in the second half, leave me some space." ”

Wei Honglin, who was not in a high mood, raised his eyelids and stared at him, and after a while, he bowed slightly, which can be regarded as an acknowledgement.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, it was indeed as Dai Zhenguo said, Qingdao Shuangxi came up with a fierce attack, but after attacking a few times and not seeing the effect, they shrank back again. Qingdao people have already played a good calculation, with two goals in hand, they don't have to worry at all, the new era of eager equalization will naturally press all over the line, and then they will have the opportunity to counterattack, whether they can score again, not to mention, they can also take three points.

The new era once again completely controlled the situation on the field, but they once again fell into the embarrassing situation of the first half of the game.

The only chance that didn't count was created by the right midfielder: in the 57th minute, his dribbling breakthrough resulted in a direct free kick, Ma Cheng shot at goal, and the goalkeeper saved the ball; Zhang Chi caught up with the follow-up shot, and the goalkeeper made another save; Zhang Chi, who fell to the ground, pushed again, and the goalkeeper, who was also crawling on the ground, blocked the ball with his feet; The defender cleared the ball and saw that it was not far away, and was pushed to the first drop point by Gao Jinsong, the right forward in the new era took a step forward and shot vigorously, blocked by the opponent's leg, Gao Jinsong shot again, the ball jumped out of the crowd and went straight to the goal, but it rubbed on the calf of Zhang Chi, who had just gotten up, and changed direction, just letting the goalkeeper pounce...... The goalkeeper immediately pressed the ball tightly under his chest like a mother who had been running upside down for many days to find the lost child, until his teammates stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, he got up from the ground and immediately cursed several defenders.

Gao Jinsong was also angrily accusing Ma Cheng, if Ma Cheng hadn't blocked his shooting path at that moment, he would not have chosen the unlucky angle of the near post anyway!

Ma Cheng's face turned a little red, and it was the first time he was scolded by his teammates who were so much younger than him. The second captain of the new era, who really couldn't pull his face, muttered in a low voice: "You...... Can't you just stop and shoot again? ”

Ma Cheng actually said such bastard words? Gao Jinsong spat on the ground angrily and ignored him.

Although Ma Cheng defended himself, he was still a person who understood the truth after all, and he no longer ran sideways as often as before, but chose to pass the ball more underneath, or break through directly diagonally. Seeing Gao Jinsong's lesson to Ma Cheng's right midfielder, he no longer blindly followed the coach's arrangement to resolutely cut inward, but patiently looked for opportunities on the right side - he was not born on the wing after all, so the quality of the ball in the middle is not high, rather than throwing away the opportunity in vain, it is better to cooperate with his teammates and then look for the opponent's space.

The action of the two wing-backs quickly relieved the pressure on Gao Jinsong, and after the right midfielder consciously slowed down the tempo of the attack, his space for movement gradually expanded. The expansion of his range of movement essentially means that the opponent's defensive line is no longer as tight as it was before, but is gradually expanding to the left flank.

As long as the opponent is willing to come out, then things will be easy to do. The players still remember how they won the ball the last time they met Qingdao Double Happiness, and the opponents feared this soothing rhythm the most.

When the opponent was not fully playing according to the rhythm of the new era, Zhang Chi suddenly dribbled into the penalty area and completed a shot.

It was an unthreatening shot that the Double Happiness goalkeeper easily confiscated the ball that Zhang Chi had barely kicked, but it was a very bad attack because the Qingdao people were vigilant, and their already loose defence shrank back again under the angry rebuke of their manager.

Ma Cheng immediately scolded Zhang Chi, who was eager to score, with all kinds of unpleasant words.

The previous efforts were in vain, and in the face of Qingdao Double Happiness, which was once again firmly defensive, the new era had to re-look for the unlikely opportunity in Zheng Changsheng's resolute offensive gesture.

As time ticks by, even the most convinced of the new era may not necessarily believe that they will have a chance. If the previous New Era offensive was described as a storm, now they are not even a gentle drizzle. They don't even have the strength to shoot, they just break through again and again in vain and start all over again. It seems that the new era of realizing their future has reached the end of their strong crossbow, and they are now just trying to lose more face.

Zheng Changsheng wants this face. He stood on the edge of the field, staring at his team calmly, not saying a word. The old coach's waist is still so straight, his expression is still so grim, and his eyes are still so sharp. He can lose, but he doesn't lose with all his pockets, and even if he loses, he has to prove that he just loses by luck. His team is no worse than others!

The head coach of Qingdao Double Happiness can now take a good time to smoke a cigarette, chat with his colleagues about the next game, and analyze the tactical characteristics of Chengdu Ipson and Changsha Qinyuan by the way. They were very glad that the match with Changsha Qinyuan was the last one, and the big shark Qinyuan had just bitten Chengdu Ipson to the point that it was full of holes - the game there was already four to zero.

Of course, this surprising score also indicates that Chengdu Ipson is not very powerful. Considering that their team only lost a penalty to Changsha Qinyuan in the group stage, Qingdao people have every reason to believe that their next game will not be too difficult, as long as there are no mistakes, at least it will be a draw, in this way, by the third game they also have four points, although they cannot ensure promotion, but the initiative is definitely in their own hands.

Of course, the premise of four points is that the game in front of you can be won. However, judging from the current situation, three points is a sure thing.

The new era is still looking for opportunities that may exist.

In the seventy-ninth minute, the opportunity finally came......

Ma Cheng dribbled the ball on the left side, and then when he was parallel to the penalty line, he passed the ball to Gao Jinsong, who came up to receive it; Gao Jinsong didn't even stop the ball, he directly knocked it lightly with the outside edge of his right foot, and the ball jumped between the three Qingdao Shuangxi players, and landed in front of Ma Cheng, who happened to bypass the defenders; Ma Cheng took two steps forward with the ball, and suddenly half-turned and shot - he hit the near corner! When the goalkeeper, who was completely wrong, scrambled to adjust his center of gravity, the ball had already touched the post and rolled into the net......

Ma Cheng only accepted the congratulations of a few teammates who were close, then ran to the net to fish out the ball and help Qingdao people bring it back to the midfield. He didn't even run to the edge of the field to celebrate with his teammates, just waved his arms at them a few times.

The head coach of Qingdao Double Happiness grinned and said to his assistant: "Go back and ask someone to see if it is possible for that No. 12 Gao Jinsong to come to us." 'He doesn't worry too much about the outcome and it's acceptable to concede a goal. Seeing that his pass was not there, it was both subtle and precise, and none of us players could have reacted to what was going on. This kid is not small! As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the edge of the field, rearranged the team, and asked them to focus on guarding against the twelve. He even made a powerful gesture to reinforce his tone: "Stare at him!" ”

The new era of patience has found another opportunity.

In the 87th minute, the ball was once again handed to Gao Jinsong's feet, and while he was in control of the ball, Shuangxi's marking central defender immediately leaned behind him to prevent him from turning, and two other Shuangxi players flanked him from the flank and laterally. They blocked all his possible passing lanes, and the right midfielder who could pick up the ball was also entangled with the opponent's close follow, and it was difficult to get the ball;

Turning, turning again, turning around again, Gao Jinsong couldn't find a gap between the three defenders when he got rid of it three times in a row, but the three double happiness players frequently stretched out their feet to try to hook the ball from under his feet, but they all pounced; The ball rolled back and forth between his broken feet;

The fourth Double Happiness team member also rushed here;

Gao Jinsong finally gave up the idea of breaking through, in fact, when he started back with the ball, his opponents understood his thoughts, but they still didn't give up defending him - unless the ball was no longer under his control;

Gao Jinsong immediately did as they wished, and gently passed the ball in the direction of the right midfielder;

The right midfielder could not get rid of the entanglement of his opponent, he was carried behind by his opponent, and he could only watch the ball roll against the turf;

Wei Honglin, who had already looked at Gao Jinsong, suddenly plugged in and kicked the ball;

This is Wei Honglin's fifth long-range shot in this game, and the first four times are all flying, but this time he didn't fly, not only did he not fly, but he hit just right - the combination of the goalpost and the goalbeam! This is a dead end for almost all goalkeeper defenses......

Two to two!

This time around, the players of the new era can really cheer and celebrate......

Yes, it was just a draw, but it was a crucial point for them!

Only with this point can they continue to walk and continue to move towards that goal that is getting closer and closer......
