Chapter 2 (19)
An ordinary confrontation is over. This is the first meeting between the two teams leading in the group stage of the second division, and the process is not as intense as several Changsha reporters expected. It slowly kicked off in Qinyuan's smooth attack, but quietly ended in the tenacious attack of the new era, and the reversal of offensive and defensive roles in the first and second halves brought unimaginable shocks to the two clubs: Changsha Qinyuan found a huge hidden danger in their defensive system, but the new era club achieved unexpected results. This sudden new situation immediately kept the coaching staff of both teams busy, and several coaches did not leave their offices until dinner......
Gao Jinsong and Wei Honglin, who caused the incident, also did not appear in the resort's restaurant.
After the game, they hurried back to their dormitories, packed up their belongings, took a leave of absence from the club, and then flagged down a local taxi on the road in front of the resort, negotiated the price, and the taxi took them to Chengdu.
At half past seven o'clock this evening, there is a League A at the Chengdu Sports Center, and Sichuan Hongsheng hosts Wuhan Yafeng. Gao Jinsong: The purpose of their trip to Chengdu was to watch this A-League on the spot.
Twenty-six-year-old Wei Honglin is a player of Wuhan Yafeng, although since the spring of last year, he has not played an official game for the former Hubei provincial football team and later Wuhan Yafeng Club, but in the two years when he was injured, it was always the provincial team and Yafeng who paid him his salary and paid all his medical expenses - his right leg tibia was kicked and broken by an opponent in a game, which almost buried his life. This optimistic man never mentioned to anyone how he survived that time, and even Gao Jinsong, who now lives in the same room with him, only overheard him on the phone and said, "When I come back, we will get married." Gao Jinsong sensitively sensed that Wei Honglin and the girl on the other side of the phone must have inseparable affection, and it may be related to Wei Honglin's injury in those two years. But Wei Honglin never mentioned it, and he never asked. This also made Wei Honglin respect him more.
In the taxi, they were still exchanging their views on the game. This is also a common preference of both of them. Outside of training, they like to discuss the team's previous wins and losses in previous games, or get videos of other teams from the club to get acquainted with their opponents by watching the videos. They even devised some coordination on paper, just like the tacit understanding between the two in the confrontation just now, which was actually the first implementation of this idea - they had discussed the situation together the night before, how they would coordinate and how to protect if the two appeared together in the middle lane. In the second half of the match, when the team attacked and attacked, their position actually violated the tactical category arranged by the coaching staff, and the team was no longer a "four-two-two-two" double midfielder, but a "four-one-two-one-two" in the midfield diamond-shaped position.
“…… You should take the ball back and I'll step forward. I haven't outplayed you before, so their defence is bound to be a bit of a mess because they can't adapt right away, and you'll have more options at that point. Wei Honglin said, while reaching out to point and draw on the backrest of the front passenger seat, the backrest covered with white seat covers continued to form small pits and concave lines under the fingers of his fingers, and soon returned to its original state, leaving only a few faint nail scratches. Hey, without pen and paper, Wei Honglin could only use this method to reluctantly illustrate his thoughts. "If that's the case, you can pass the ball to me, or you can pass the ball to Ma Cheng and Chen Mingcan on both sides, or you can find an opportunity to shoot or kick the ball directly into the box, or you can hand the ball back to the back line at worst. No matter how you deal with it, it's better than you forcing a breakthrough. Here, here, and here, with at least three defenders around you, you think you can get rid of them? ”
Gao Jinsong nodded and admitted his opinion. Now it seems that that breakthrough was indeed reckless, he originally protected the ball and retreated a little, in that case, even if Wei Honglin did not move forward, he could find a better way than to break through with the ball himself.
"There is still the penultimate attack...... Wei Honglin thought for a while, and then denied himself, "No, it should be the penultimate attack, you pulled out all the gaps in the shot, why do you have to pass the ball to Zhang Chi?" I think it's pure redundancy! Don't say you're kicking. ”
Gao Jinsong smiled bitterly and shook his head. He thought that no one could see clearly what he had done to Zhang Chi, but he didn't expect the sharp-eyed Wei Honglin to reveal it. Why did he give up this opportunity to show his face to Zhang Chi? His image in Director Zheng's heart is bad enough, and he doesn't want to add "too independent" to his comments.
He told Wei Honglin his concerns as they were, and revealed that Director Zheng talked to him a few days ago.
Wei Honglin was silent. He doesn't want to talk about his manager behind his back. Although the old man has a stubborn temper and loves to take care of the short, his ears are soft and he can't listen to the advice of others, and he always likes to scare rats with a straight face when he has nothing to do, but no matter what, he is also his own head coach, not to mention that the team can set foot on the land of Chengdu, how much effort did the old man take, and when night was the light in the head coach's room not on until midnight? He's in his sixties! No matter how strong his body is, it is impossible for him to toss like a young man!
Both of them were silent.
It wasn't until the taxi got off the highway and entered the bustling city that the mood of the two became active again, when they saw the rows of high-rise buildings on both sides of the road and the intertwined flow of people on the street. It was the first time Gao Jinsong had come to this western metropolis, and everything in front of him made him feel strange and new. Wei Honglin came here with the team three years ago to participate in a small-scale cup tournament and lived here for half a month, so he told Gao Jinsong in an old Jianghu tone that the most abundant thing here in Chengdu is ...... Belle. He even quoted a slip of the tongue to prove himself.
"When I arrived in Beijing, I realized that the official was too small; When I arrived in Shanghai, I realized that there was too little money; When I arrived in Hainan, I learned that my health was not good; When I arrived in Chengdu, I realized that I got married too early. ”
Gao Jinsong couldn't help but wonder. He also heard this widely circulated slip, and admitted that this passage was not badly compiled, although he knew only two Chengdu girls, Jiang Lihong and Jiang Yan. He was clearly mistaken, he confused Chengdu with Sichuan. But he can't be completely wrong, because Jiang Lihong and Jiang Yan are indeed very beautiful.
Because it is a league day, so a large area near the Chengdu Sports Center belongs to the scope of traffic control, seeing the police on duty from a distance, the taxi master who is familiar with the streets in this area parked the car to the side of the road, turned his head and explained to the two people with some embarrassment, after this intersection is a one-way lane, he wants to turn around and have to drive a long way forward, he hopes that Gao Jinsong and Wei Honglin can take care of him, just get off here - he can charge them less for the car.
"Let's go down here." Wei Honglin hurriedly jumped out of the car with a pager in his hand, stood on the side of the street and looked left and right, and then ran towards the payphone placed in a store.
"I didn't bring any money!" Gao Jinsong yelled at him in pain.
This not funny joke obviously did not have the desired effect, Wei Honglin had already dialed the number on the telephone, but the taxi driver's face was a little nervous, he half raised his face, vigilantly staring at Gao Jinsong through the half-open window next to the driver's seat.
Gao Jinsong hurriedly took out his wallet and counted four large-denomination banknotes and handed them to the master, explaining with a smile: "Just kidding, I'm joking with him." ”
"Gua baby! There is a bag on the head of the turtle son! The driver took the money, and unceremoniously cursed the joke in local slang Gao Jinsong, and then stepped on the accelerator with contempt and drove away.
Several passers-by who happened to be passing by here heard the conversation between the two. Most of the people smiled apologetically at Gao Jinsong, who was obviously not a local, and of course one or two people agreed with the taxi driver's point of view, and they glanced at Gao Jinsong with ridicule and ridicule, but they didn't dare to show their opinions in their expressions because of his height advantage.
Gao Jinsong, who was bored with himself, had no choice but to walk to Wei Honglin, who was muttering on the phone not far away, and bought a few bottles of mineral water in plastic bottles from a small shop on the side of the road. Water is one of the essential things to watch a game in this weather. He also bought a small yellow trumpet around with interest. He saw everywhere people carrying the thing in their hands, and blowing it every now and then, and the shrill sound of trumpets echoed in the streets.
Wei Honglin finally put down the phone and beckoned to him: "Do you have any change?" ”
"How much?"
The owner of the shop, a short thin man wearing only a sweat vest, glanced at the payphone meter and said unquestioningly: "Thirty-eight yuan and six cents." He immediately flipped a button and zeroed out the number on the meter.
Wei Honglin immediately waved his hand at Gao Jinsong and said, "No need." - I have money here. He also poked his head over to take a closer look at the phone and meter, and then told Gao Jinsong in a matter-of-fact manner, "Remember this brand, we are down, so we will buy this brand of phone to apply for a public phone!" It's hard to think about being underdeveloped. ”
I don't know if the shopkeeper heard the irony in these words, anyway, he counted out a slip of change without changing his face and heartbeat, and counted it again before handing it to Wei Honglin.
They don't need to ask for directions to the sports center, the crowds of people on the streets are their best guides. Everywhere you can see fans with longing and beaming faces, you can hear the sound of drums and horns, flags spread out or tied everywhere, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere. People flock here from all over the city, and at the entrance to the sports complex, there is a huge and imposing crowd.
Another problem came out, Gao Jinsong and Wei Honglin didn't have tickets yet.
Before this, Gao Jinsong never thought of the ticket, in his opinion, Wei Honglin, whose personnel relations are still in Wuhan Yafeng Club, can ask for two internal tickets with a casual phone call, and Wei Honglin dragged him to watch the game with great interest, and the ticket must have been in his trouser pocket early in the morning. But when he saw Wei Honglin leading him around the crowd to interrogate and inquire, he immediately understood, daring Wei Honglin had no tickets in his hand at all, he was temporarily looking for scalpers to buy two high-priced tickets.
As for the special votes and C votes, because the sales of these two kinds of votes have not been very good, profits have become a problem, and most scalpers are unwilling to deal with this kind of risky commodity that is easy to lose money. After asking several scalpers one after another, Wei Honglin couldn't help but show a look of disappointment on his face.
"Then buy a ticket." Gao Jinsong proposed. He wasn't picky about his position, he just wanted to hurry into the stadium to experience the lively and wild atmosphere. The incessant sound of gongs and drums, as well as the sound of horns that fluctuate high and low, have completely stirred his mind.
Wei Honglin, the initiator of this trip to Chengdu, gritted his teeth and said: "If you can't do it, buy a special ticket!" "The price of the special ticket has been speculated to 600, which is five times higher than the original ticket price.
A fat man with a prickly arm immediately pushed aside the crowd and leaned over, and after touching that there were no police, no security guards and plainclothes nearby, he approached Wei Honglin and asked, "How many special tickets do you want?" ”
"Two!" Wei Honglin simply didn't bother to ask about the price, and only added, "I want a joint number!" ”
"Yes, one thousand five."
But the fat man's wishful thinking soon came to naught, and Gao Jinsong had already bought two A tickets from a middle-aged man who came out of nowhere.
The fat man, who had lost his business, chased them unwillingly to the ticket gate, and cursed and swore that the tickets they bought for two hundred yuan must be forged and fake. His reasoning is also very simple, no one will sell a ticket so cheaply - this is almost a third lower than the current market!
But the fat man is certainly not as expert as the staff at the ticket gate, and many years of work experience allow them to detect the authenticity of the ticket just by the feeling of their fingers, and the slight sound of the dexterous ticket cutter "click" not only makes the fat man's attempt completely come to naught, but also allows Gao Jinsong to sit on the scene of the A-League game for the first time in his life.
The moment he walked into the sports center with the flow of people, Gao Jinsong suddenly fell into a trance.
It wasn't that he had never walked into such a grand stadium, but he had never seen so many spectators, never seen so many flags, and never experienced such noise and excitement. In this boiling world, he felt as small as a drop of water in the ocean. The indescribable shock and shock bewildered him, and he stumbled almost unconsciously and completely instinctively to find his seat in the dense crowd, and it took him a long time to remember that he had a companion.
Wei Honglin sat next to him with a strange expression. His cheeks were as red as blood, his eyes staring straight ahead, his hands resting on his knees nervously twisted together, trembling, bending, twisting, like two monsters hissing at each other.
It took a long time for both of them to calm themselves down.
But the stadium's horn sounded again at this time: "Now it's Sichuan Hongsheng who is on the field." Number 3 ......"
The sound of frustration echoed loudly over the stadium, and it immediately ignited the atmosphere that was already boiling in the stadium, and the people did not hesitate or hesitate to dedicate their enthusiasm, praise, pride and pride to these heroic players of the city, flags were waving, gongs and drums were roaring, trumpets were honking, cheers and applause were intertwined, and finally they merged into a deep and solemn sound, which swept through the stadium like rolling thunder......
"Oh-"
Gao Jinsong and Wei Honglin were immediately overwhelmed by the huge wave that swept in......
It was past twelve o'clock in the middle of the night before they returned to the dormitory in a trance. Until lying on the bed, Gao Jinsong's mind still had the excited shouts and shouts of the audience, the swaying flags, and the earth-shattering gongs and drums, surging waves of people around the stadium auditorium......
Gao Jinsong and Wei Honglin, who took leave to go out for overtime, were both punished with the most severe punishment from the club - fined 300 each.
