The fourth round of the group stage has just ended, and the eyes of the New Era Club have been focused on the next opponent, Qingdao Shuangxi, and how to snatch three points from the first place in this group has also become the most enthusiastic topic that night.

Winning this game, no matter what the results of the other three games are, the new era can firmly occupy the second place in the group, and the three-game winning streak can also bring players and coaches a huge prize of several million yuan, which means that even the marginal players who can't sit on the bench can get almost 20,000 yuan according to the club's bonus distribution principle...... Such a huge temptation can't help but make the team members unmoved.

How to play the game, that's what the coaches have to worry about; Whether there will be discordant notes on the field is a question that Sun Junshan pondered; As a player, you just need to adjust your condition to the best before the game and then run with Zheng Changsheng's baton. So the players are thinking more about how many goals they can win against the opponent in this game. After all, for every extra goal difference, there will be an extra 200,000 prizes.

Of course, some people soberly pointed out that in fact, the odds of winning this ball are not great, and it is not a bad result to be able to hold on to a draw in front of the first place in the group.

This person who understood was immediately spat on Guan Mingshan's face: "Where it's cool, you can go and stay." Is a draw considered good? Didn't you win the first two games in vain?! ”

"That's what it was. Qingdao Double Happiness is not so easy to get along with......" the guy muttered visibly unconvinced.

"What do you say?"

If it weren't for the teammates on the side who stopped quickly, maybe Boss Guan would have beaten up this guy who specializes in frustrating words.

But Guan Mingshan quickly forgot about this unpleasant little thing, and continued to think with his teammates with great interest about the three consecutive victories that he didn't see a single stroke. He also played a round of cigarettes, and handed one to the ignorant fellow, and lit the fire for him, grinning and saying to everyone, "Let's just kick it well!" - Zheng Gui has a way. Four years ago, you still remember the Jiangsu team rushing to A, the last battle of life and death, the Jiangsu team had to win three goal difference to advance, no one thought that Jiangsu still had a play, but Zheng Gui scored a goal in the second half of the game, and scored a goal in the second half...... At this level, are you afraid that you won't be able to pick up a Qingdao double happiness? ”

********

The room was so quiet that only the barely audible hum of the air conditioner remained. The TV on the wall was on, playing a football game, but there was no sound on the screen. Not far from the TV was a dark brown glass coffee table, on which a large swan-shaped glass ashtray was piled with cigarette butts and ashes, and even the coffee table next to the ashtray was sprinkled with ashes. A thick notebook was scrawled in illegible handwriting and symbols by the large magnetized thermos cup on the coffee table. An open pen rests on the seam of the notebook. On the three sofas around the coffee table, there are four people who are stunned by clay sculptures and wood carvings.

Zheng Changsheng leaned half-out, crossed his chin with his hands, and stared at his notebook, as if he wanted to use his eyes to dig two holes in the notebook.

These two pages of the book are records about Qingdao Double Happiness, and they are a few advantages that Zheng Changsheng summed up for Qingdao people from the video of the four games, as well as three or four possible flaws, and some immature plans prepared for the opponent. Underneath these schemes, he left enough blank space.

But the blank space is still blank.

From dinner to now, they have been going through the room to watch videos, looking for weaknesses in their opponents, discussing tactics and personnel that can give the team hope, until everyone smokes and smokes, and the tea no longer tastes like tea, and they have not been able to solve even a single problem.

Dai Zhenguo, who had been leaning on the armrest of the sofa and staring at the TV picture, suddenly asked thoughtlessly: "This No. 8, is it the third yellow card?" ”

Zheng Changsheng looked at the TV, nodded and said, "It's three, and he will be suspended in the next round." He jotted it down in his notebook and drew a curve underneath. The number eight is the opposition's main midfielder, and it seems that he has played all four games, and his suspension may be a breakthrough. He tried to recall the role of this No. 8 in the Qingdao team, but soon he had to admit that this breakthrough was unlikely, because his team was not strong in the middle, and Qingdao Shuangxi was the most tactical and disciplined team in this group, and was fully capable of making up for the possible danger in the middle. He can't help but sigh at the huge advantage of the opponent, just with tactics and discipline, Qingdao Shuangxi almost booked a plane ticket to Chengdu for himself, not to mention that most of their players played together when they were young, and their cooperation with each other was also the most tacit understanding in this group - perhaps the most tacit understanding among all the second division teams, and the personnel changes in individual positions had little impact on the overall strength of the team.

Dai Zhenguo withdrew his gaze from the television video. Qingdao Shuangxi has watched all the game videos several times, and it is impossible to discover anything valuable, and the most important thing at the moment is how to arrange their tactics and lineup according to the characteristics of the opponent.

He lowered his head and slowly flipped through his notes, page by page. The materials about Qingdao Double Happiness are densely packed with seven pages, from the names, positions, characteristics, and habits of all Qingdao players who have played on the field since the beginning of the group stage, to the brief road map of the eight goals scored by the Qingdao team, the schematic diagram of the opponent's offensive line when the opponent was broken the goal for the only time, the technical and tactical habits of the head coach, the tactics used in the four games, the list of ten substitutions in the four games and the effects they played, and the tactics formulated by their first four opponents to deal with Qingdao Double Happiness……

After a while, he said coldly: "There are five goals scored in the second half......"

Zheng Changsheng, Sun Junshan, and the goalkeeper coach all rolled their eyelids and looked at him in confusion. Is this worth talking about? The players are all twenty-five or sixteen years old, and it is a good age to be able to run and play, so that they can better play their physical advantages in the second half.

Dai Zhenguo rubbed the stubble on his chin, frowned, and said, "Their tenacity is very strong." ”

The corners of Zheng Changsheng's mouth twitched.

Sun Junshan asked: "Is there a difference between scoring five goals in the second half and scoring five in the first half?" What's wrong with being resilient? ”

Zheng Changsheng and Dai Zhenguo ignored this stupid question, and just stared at their respective notebooks with frowns in thought. The goalkeeper coach explained to the curious general manager: "Coach Dai said that Qingdao Double Happiness is resilient, which means that their players and coaches are not impatient, patient and organized, which is a sign of their team's maturity and also shows that the Qingdao team has confidence in their own strength." - This kind of opponent is the most difficult to deal with, and he will not follow our baton. At the end of the day, he smiled reluctantly. Our baton? Is there a baton in the new era? He was lucky to win the game, but he thought a draw was the best result. But he can't say that right now.

"Oh." Sun Junshan nodded as if he didn't understand. He immediately asked anxiously again, "So, is there anything we can do to deal with them?" ”

This even more stupid question stumped the goalkeeper coach. He had to pretend that he didn't hear the general manager's words and stared intently at the TV screen.

Zheng Changsheng thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't find an effective and reliable way, but it was not a way to sit here all the time, so he could only throw the question to everyone: "Is 'four-four-two' good, or is 'five-three-two' appropriate?" The question seemed to be thrown to everyone in the room, but the old coach's eyes were on Dai Zhenguo. The goalkeeper coach glanced at Zheng Changsheng with some surprise. In his memory, this was probably the first time that Director Zheng had entrusted such a major matter to someone else to decide. Stunned, he also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Director Zheng still puts defense first, after all, a very likely draw is much more cost-effective than risking three points.

Dai Zhenguo pondered for a long time before he said with difficulty: "It's still 'four-four-two'." 'Five-Three-Two' our team members haven't practiced much, and I'm afraid that they won't even be able to find a place on the field. In his heart, he prefers the more aggressive tactic of "five-three-two", but in that case, one of the two of Ma Cheng and Chen Mingcan must sit on the bench, and there are also two positions that must be adjusted, so that players who can run better can play - this will undoubtedly be opposed by Zheng Changsheng, and the goalkeeper coach must stand with him, how can he fight their united front?

Zheng Changsheng and the goalkeeper coach acquiesced to his opinion, and the team leader Sun Junshan naturally did not express any opinion on such a professional issue.

Now that the tactical guiding ideology has been unified, there will be no dispute about the next personnel arrangement, or the starting lineup in the last game against Beijing Xingren, the only difference is that Zheng Changsheng adopted Dai Zhenguo's suggestion, so that Zhang Chi's position was moved back a little and closer to the middle. This is actually to change the "442" formation into a "4411" formation, or to make Zhang Chi a shadow striker. Such a small change is obviously an adjustment to the suspension of Qingdao Double Happiness No. 8, and if the coordination between the player who replaced No. 8 and the defender leaves any loopholes due to unfamiliarity, such small changes can sometimes have an unexpected effect.

**********

On the first night of the game, Zhang Chi returned to the dormitory after physiotherapy from the team doctor's room, Gao Jinsong was still watching the video of Qingdao Double Happiness, and kept taking out the four video tapes in the machine and putting them in, fast forward and slow down.

Zhang Chi stood by and watched for a long time and didn't figure out what Gao Jinsong was so busy trying to see clearly. At the end, he smiled and said, "You just get into the tape!" You're not afraid of breaking the machine if you toss like this? It's okay, it's almost all there is to it - Zheng instructed them to chew up the tape and couldn't find anything useful, you just messed around like this, what can you see? ”

Since the matter of recovering black money, Zhang Chi's words are obviously no longer so authoritative to Gao Jinsong, so he replied without raising his head: "I won't tell you when I see it." Go to the toilet and cry! ”

Zhang Chi scolded him with a smile, but he was not angry, found a pair of clean underwear and went into the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out, Gao Jinsong was still squatting in front of the TV, constantly pressing the fast forward button of the video recorder in his hand.

"What did you really find?" Zhang Chi sat on the edge of the bed and asked curiously.

Gao Jinsong pressed it on the machine to freeze the TV picture, and then pointed to a Qingdao team member and said, "That's it!" Number five, one of their central defenders. ”

"What's wrong with him?"

"In the second half he only turned to the right side seven times, and he was a lot slower when moving laterally to the right, and he was a little hesitant to raise his leg a few times......

Zhang Chi suddenly became interested. Like Gao Jinsong, he also reversed the video and compared it several times, and then he was happy: "This guy is injured? "There is no picture of the No. 5 player being injured and treated on the videotape, but after all, this is the work of an amateur videographer, and it is impossible to record all the events on and off the field, and Zhang Chi also went to the scene to watch the game, and he still has a little impression of Qingdao Shuangxi in the first half of a player who was injured and carried to the back door of the goal for treatment. He was already able to confirm the fact that Qingdao's No. 5 defender was injured.

But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with tomorrow's game, right?

"It's okay if he's hurt, what if he doesn't play tomorrow?" Zhang Chi asked suspiciously.

"How could he not play?" Gao Jinsong snorted, pointed to the TV screen and said, "He is injured like this, and he has not been replaced, which shows that his role on the field is either very important, or Qingdao Shuangxi has no one who can replace him now." It seems that he has most of the inner thigh muscle strain, maybe it is more serious......"

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "This injury needs to rest for at least ten days, even if he gets an injection, he can't run." He bared his teeth and made a hideous look, "Here comes the wolf......

*********

Seeing Qingdao Shuangxi's starting list, Zhang Chi was happy. As Gao Jinsong predicted last night, the injured Qingdao defender appeared on the list. In the locker room, he saw the opportunity to whisper this to Chen Mingcan, the left midfielder with whom he had always befriended.

Chen Mingcan asked in a low voice, "Are you sure?" ”

"It's certain that he was injured at the time, but it's not certain if he's okay now." Zhang Chi said matter-of-factly, "So I didn't tell Director Zheng about this." I told you, let's try at that position during the game, if that guy is really injured, you can see it by rushing two or three times to guide Zheng. ”

Chen Mingcan thought for a moment, grinned, and said, "Okay, try it!" ”

The effect of this trial is really obvious. Before Zheng Changsheng saw the clues, before the head coach of Qingdao Double Happiness realized the huge mistake he had made, Zhang Chi made a beautiful one-two cooperation with Chen Mingcan, and smoothly passed the ball from the right side of the No. 5 defender to Chen Mingcan, who was interspersed in the penalty area; Chen Mingcan calmly got up and shot, and the ball changed direction slightly under the touch of the opponent's goalkeeper's fingertips, almost grazing the goal post and rolling into the net......

It was the first shot on goal in a new era......

No one expected the goal to come so quickly, and the new era people sitting on the bench did not react in a hurry, and they did not even listen to the referee's whistle indicating that the goal was valid. They saw that all of the players on the field suddenly left their positions and rushed to their opponent's half, and their opponents stopped in pain after a few steps of pursuit......

They craned their necks and looked around to figure out what was going on.

Could it be a goal?

At this time, they finally saw Chen Mingcan's smiling face out of shape, with his arms outstretched, and Zhang Chi staggering in the forbidden area of Qingdao Shuangxi on his back, and they were immediately overturned in the grass by the Russian foreign aid......

Sure enough, it was a goal!

Almost everyone on the New Era bench jumped up the first time and rushed to the edge of the field to cheer enthusiastically for their teammates. Only veteran coach Zheng Changsheng just stood up and smiled as his colleagues and players celebrated the goal. Instead of celebrating with them, he sat back in his seat, pulled out his cigarette, lit it beautifully, took a long puff of satisfaction, and let the spicy smell of tobacco swirl in his lungs before slowly exhaling it......

1 to 0!

At this time, the game has only started for less than six minutes, and Qingdao Shuangxi, who is attacking tentatively, has not yet shot a shot, and the new era has already taken the lead in the score.

When Zhang Chi and Chen Mingcan repeatedly tried to break through between the opponent's No. 5 central defender and right wing-back, the head coach of Qingdao Shuangxi finally understood what was going on, he had to swallow the bitter fruit of his own brewing, and was forced to make personnel adjustments - No. 5 down, No. 14 up.

The coaches of the two clubs who watched from the stands smiled gloatingly and noted the injury of Qingdao's No. 5 central defender.

They are now hoping that Qingdao Shuangxi can taste defeat with this goal in the new era, and in that case, as long as they win their respective games in this round, they will be able to draw on points with their strongest opponents, which can largely make up for the passivity of the morale of the two sides......

But the reality is always contrary to people's expectations.

The new era of leading the score seems to be suddenly becoming a non-playable game......
