Chapter 31: The Trend Is Not Good

On September 1, 361 Degrees held a press conference for Dai Zhiwei's exclusive football boots in Shenzhen, and released its first football series products "Hurricane" and "Iron Rider" - two combat boots.

"Hehe, we can be regarded as a local tyrant with exclusive sneakers!" Although Dai Zhiwei has seen the sneaker styles and samples created for him by 361 degrees before, the final official version is really the first time I have seen it today.

The 361-degree football series, according to Zhang Huafeng, draws inspiration from the passionate collision of teams from various countries in the Rio Olympic Games, combining Brazilian elements with impactful lines, equipped with professional technology and traditional craftsmanship.

"Hurricane" series of football boots, to win with speed.

It adopts a yin and yang upper design combined with a hurricane sense and impactful texture, presenting the beauty of combining power and speed. The color scheme of the ocean and tropical storm brings a refreshing visual experience and is quite fashionable. KPU rubber has a touch of the inner waist, which has more control over the ball. The professional FG spike outsole design provides super grip and helps you break out at breakneck speed like a hurricane at any time.

The "Iron Rider" series of football boots dominate with control.

The toe cap is made of abrasion-resistant rubber particles to enhance the control of the ball and the focus of the curved ball. The upper is puffed up by a sewing thread to help control the angle and stay of the ball on the surface, allowing for more precise ball control. The back cover is a TPU rubber particle protective sleeve that can better protect the bare feet. The new control outsole features a more powerful grip spike arrangement for consistent, precise ball control.

Dai Zhiwei put on the sneakers and felt really good.

However, what made him feel a little embarrassed was that he was wearing Nike_Mercurial assassin football boots before, but these two shoes really looked like a pair of Mercurial_Superfly in a copycat!

What's even more embarrassing is that these two shoes are copycated together with the American Trusox non-slip football socks that are popular in the market of professional players and high-end players!

However, it doesn't matter, whether it is for the sake of the RMB or supporting domestic brands, Dai Zhiwei is very satisfied with these two shoes!

At the suggestion of the host, Dai Zhiwei flipped the ball a few times and played two tricks - this is not a problem at all for him who has the skills of Michael thinking and dribbling.

At the end of the event, Dai Zhiwei said, "As an internationally renowned sports brand, 361 Degrees has a strong product research and development team and product research capabilities that are second to none; At the same time, I am experienced in the establishment and implementation of athlete logistics management, support system and implementation, thanks to 361 Degrees for its trust and support of Chinese football, I am honored to be able to work with 361 Degrees to go all out for the future of Chinese football! ”

The main reason why 361 Degrees chose to release Dai Zhiwei's signature sneakers at this time is that three days later it will be the World Cup qualifiers between the Chinese team and the Hong Kong Island team.

There is no suspense, Dai Zhiwei is still a member of the national team squad.

Previously, the Chinese team had a bye in the first round of the group, and won 6-0 away against Bhutan in the second round. Hong Kong Island won two consecutive home games in the first two rounds of home matches, beating Bhutan 7-0 and beating Maldives 2-0.

In the group standings before the game, Hong Kong Island ranked first with 2 wins and 6 points, China and Qatar both had 1 win and 3 points, and Maldives and Bhutan both had 2 losses. In the current 23-man list of the national football team, there are 8 players from Evergrande. The players who play in the Hong Kong league are the main composition of the Hong Kong team, including a number of naturalized players.

The evening game started as scheduled, although it was at home, but in fact, Shenzhen was too close to Hong Kong Island, and it was very different from its own home stadium.

Dai Zhiwei really doesn't understand how the Football Association's group of wine bags and rice bags choose the home field?

At this time, shouldn't you directly put the home field in Shenyang and give full play to the home advantage as much as possible?

Is it just to show solidarity with the people of Hong Kong Island?

As for grades, who cares?

The most important reason why Dai Zhiwei had time to think cranky was that he was once again excluded from the starting list by Perrin and continued to watch from the bench.

If Dai Zhiwei could happily accept the first game against Bhutan because he couldn't make the starting list because he was a newcomer to the team, this time he had some ideas.

"Yu Dabao + Wu Lei, the combined striker combination, is not as many goals as I scored alone, Yu Hanchao and Zheng Long are my substitutes in the club, they are both starters, I sit on the bench, Pei Lan is a brain, right?" Dai Zhiwei could only curse silently in his heart.

Whether in his previous life or in this life, Dai Zhiwei is not such an open-minded person.

Starting line-ups:

China:

Goalkeeper: Wang Dalei

Defenders: Jiang Zhipeng, Ren Xing, Mei Fang, Zhang Linpeng

Rear waist: Wu Xi, Zheng Zhi

Avant-garde: Yu Hanchao, Wu Lei, Zheng Long

Striker: Yu Dabao

Hong Kong Island Team:

Goalkeeper: Ye Honghui

Defenders: Li Zhihao, Kilama, Fatus, Ji Shili

Midfielders: Bai He, Huang Yang, Liang Zhenbang, Lin Jiawei, Gao Fan

Forward: McGee

"I'll go, the small half of the team is gringos, just looking at the lineup, I thought it was a club!" Dai Zhiwei was taken aback by the starting lineup of the Hong Kong Island team.

Dai Zhiwei always believes that it is really not interesting to naturalize foreign players if the results of competitive competitions are not good.

The Hong Kong Island team has won two of the previous two World Cup qualifiers, and its strength should not be underestimated, and it is not an opponent that the current Chinese team can easily win.

However, in just 4 minutes of the opening game, the Chinese team created a stunner opportunity - Zhang Linpeng made a long pass after a steal on the side, transferring the football to the feet of Yu Dabao in the front.

Yu Dabao resisted Li Zhihao's defense to make the ball to the teammates who inserted forward, Zheng Long formed a single knife after receiving the ball, but Zheng Long, who went to the meeting alone, was knocked down by the Hong Kong Island goalkeeper Ye Honghui on the penalty line, and then the unattended ball also rolled into the goal.

In the cheers of the home fans, the referee inexplicably ruled that the goal was invalid, completely ignoring the rules in favor of attack, and only awarded a free kick to the Chinese team and showed a yellow card to Ye Honghui.

Subsequently, the free kick of the Chinese team hit the human wall and was cleared.

The Chinese team continued to dominate after that, with Yu Dabao getting two chances to shoot on the penalty line in the 8th and 16th minutes, but one was high and the other was blocked by the Hong Kong Island defender.

Then, the Hong Kong Island team also returned the color, but midfielder Huang Yang's shot in the 23rd minute and McGee's header in the 26th minute were both saved by Wang Dalei.

In the 31st minute, the Chinese team almost broke the deadlock, Wu Lei received a wonderful pass from Newcastle United midfielder Wu Xi and shook the ball past the Hong Kong Island defender Ji Shili, facing the goalkeeper, but hit the ball on the post, and then returned to the defense in time Ji Shili grabbed the ball out of the bottom line before Yu Dabao, and the Hong Kong Island team escaped.

Subsequently, Wu Xi sent a corner kick, Yu Dabao dangled a shot at the front point, attracting the attention of the Hong Kong Island team players, Wu Lei at the back point was unlucky, and hit the ball on the lower edge of the crossbar again, and the Hong Kong Island team goalkeeper Ye Honghui hurriedly hugged the football.

For a while, there was a lot of noise in front of the Hong Kong Island team, and it seemed that the Chinese team's goal was just around the corner.

However, less than a minute later, the Hong Kong Island team almost broke the deadlock, goalkeeper Ye Honghui quickly drove the ball out, and the Hong Kong Island team frontcourt players won the ball and launched a quick counterattack when the Chinese team had not fully recovered the opportunity, but Wang Dalei kept Gao Fan's close-range shot away.

It was also the last chance of the first half for both teams.

For the remainder of the first half, both teams were looking for scoring opportunities, but the opposing defence was rock-solid, and in the continuous scramble in the midfield, the first half ended with both teams going into the break with a 0-0 draw.

After the break, the coaches of the two teams were obviously satisfied with the first half of the game of their teams, and there were no tactical and personnel adjustments, and Yu Dabao was still the single arrow nailed to the front of the Chinese team.

Although Yu Dabao was a little uncomfortable in the game, Pei Lan thought that Yu Dabao had this ability, which made Dai Zhiwei on the side feel dissatisfied.

Fortunately, Dai Zhiwei's psychological age is not so immature, although he is unhappy, he still remains indifferent on the surface.

However, this kind of indifference is an abnormality in itself when the team is in a disadvantageous situation.

In the 54th minute, the Hong Kong Island team once again had a good chance to break the deadlock on the field, Leung Chun-pong broke through the Hanchao and then went straight to the Chinese team's penalty area, Gao Fan directly picked the ball to the middle of the small penalty area, but McGee pressed the "let you go" Ren Xing's header hit the crossbar.

After seeing the football pop up on the bottom line, Wang Dalei was afraid for a while, and hurriedly roared loudly at the defenders of his team, saying that his teammates must cheer up and not allow the Hong Kong Island team to attack the small penalty area so easily.

Then the second half of the game was relatively uneventful, and the Hong Kong Island team was originally inferior to the Chinese team, they still focused on defense, and then counterattacked when they had the opportunity.

However, the Chinese team with superior strength did not show it in the score, and several shots by Yu Dabao and Wu Lei were thousands of miles away from the goal.

The clock ticked down and we were in the final 20 minutes of the game.
