At 10 a.m. on May 18, Lu Zhuhu and his entourage arrived at the Gambir railway station in Batavia and took the train to Bandung, the next stop of the campaign. Taking a train in the tropics is really an ordeal, not to mention that the trains in Indonesia are different from those in China, like bellows, hot and stuffy, which is really uncomfortable.

As the third largest city in the East Indies at this time, Bandung is also a city known as the "Little Paris of the East", and it seems that Asian cities at this time, whether it is Shanghai, the first city in the Far East, or Saigon and Bandung in Southeast Asia, are proud of cosplay Paris.

In contrast, the nickname "Magic City" given to Shanghai by the Japanese at the end of the 19th century is more appropriate, so this strange name has been passed down and has been called until now.

Although Bandung is on the side of the equator, its terrain is high, the climate is cool, and the average temperature does not exceed 25 degrees. The air is also very fresh.

From the hot Batavia, after an unbearable drive, as soon as they got off the bus in Bandung, it was like a rebirth, Lu Zhuhu and others unanimously felt that it was cool and comfortable here.

Lu Zhuhu is naturally no stranger to the name of Bandung, and he knows the Bandung Conference when he reads.

There was once such a person, regardless of his personal safety, evaded the conspiracy of countless assassins, and resolutely participated in this grand event for the first time without the participation of colonial powers, leaving behind the bearing and demeanor of a great country, which was admired by future generations. This person will always be the most handsome existence in Lu Zhuhu's mind.

On the eve of leaving Batavia, it was Xiao Dong and Xiaohua who took out the "B" level treasure chest obtained this time at Gambir Stadium. Compared to the "S" and "A" grades, this time the acquisition is significantly inferior, just a few sets of Nike's J Guard shin guards, but they are still more practical.

When kicking football, the supporting feet are often kicked, so since the birth of football, there have also been various protective gear, and the wide area of modern shin guards and high-quality cushioning materials can disperse many impacts and avoid being kicked and broken legs.

However, what Lu Zhuhu obtained this time was only the most common kind commonly known as Nike base boards, which were inexpensive, rough in workmanship, and low in strength. The fit between the inner lining and the outer material is relatively low, and the comfort is poor. It can be easily bought through many channels, and a pair is only about 40 yuan.

However, the shin guards are different from the core equipment such as sneakers, and I haven't heard of any player who specifically endorses the shin guards. Different brands and price of shin guards are very different, but the function of qualified shin guards is the same, and this set of basic boards is used by many professional players, including the main players of major European teams.

Compared with the shin guards of this era, this set is still much lighter, and it is more convenient to perform actions on the court.

After all, safety is important, and that is not as important as winning the game - some players choose very small shin guards because they feel that the standard size shin guards affect the starting and ankle flexibility, such as Bayern's Thomas Muller, Chelsea captain John Terry, and the small piece they wear is embarrassed to say that it is a shin guard......

……

Bandung is still a place of discrimination against the Chinese, because the buses here are never closed (and this is still the case), and sometimes the locals see the Chinese sitting on the bus, just get on the bus and loot each other's money, and then walk away. So despite the good scenery, Lu Zhuhu and the others still stayed in the hotel and did not go out.

At 4:45 p.m. on May 19, the national team faced the Bandung team at the Esai Stadium, and the number of Chinese spectators who came to watch the game was a little less than the one in Batavia.

The starting line-up of the Chinese team is:

Goalkeeper: Huang Jiliang

Defenders: Mak Shaohan, Tan Jiangbai

Midfielders: Liang Rongzhao, Huang Meishun, Lu Zhuhu

Forwards: Jia Youliang, Zhuo Shijin, Feng Jingxiang, Li Huitang, Dai Linjing

The playing field at the Inside Stadium is uneven and terrible, and it has a lot to do with some of the early Chinese Super League stadiums that Lu Zhuhu went to (which is much better now, and most of the clubs' stadiums are qualified. Because if you don't pay attention to technical coordination, the requirements for the field are not so high, and it can cause problems for good opponents with technology. Just like the middle and lower reaches of La Liga, in order to snipe Barcelona Real Madrid, they often raise the turf long, so that the opponent's ball can't roll......

The Chinese team, which is in the future, naturally doesn't care much about such a venue. However, at this earlier time, China was known for its technical flow, so it was not easy to control the ball on such a field, and it was even more difficult to play smoothly with passing and cutting. On the other hand, the players of the home team Bandung are very fast, and they are bent on counterattacking with their good long passes, and they are even more powerful when they are familiar with the field conditions. Basically, they suppressed the landing and chasing the tiger side to play, making the local audience feel that the strongest team in Asia, the Chinese team, is nothing more than that, which is really a waste of fame!

Unfortunately, the first to score is still the Chinese team, in the 25th minute, Lu Zhuhu connected Dai Linjing, Dai Linjing entered the penalty area and faced the goalkeeper directly, the goalkeeper of the Bandung team had no choice but to foul, it was obvious, and the local referee was embarrassed to blow too black, so he could only award a penalty to China.

The first penalty taker Li Huitang scored a penalty kick in one fell swoop, and the Chinese team took a 1-0 lead.

After the goal, the Chinese team's defense was slightly relaxed, and the center of the Bandung team, Ma Dengshi, took advantage of the void and equalized the whistle to end the first half.

There are deficiencies in the back, and head coach Yan Chengkun can still see it, so as soon as the second half started, he replaced Mai Shaohan with the main defender Li Tiansheng, and Ye Beihua replaced Zhuo Shijin on the front line.

In the 15th minute of the second half, the Chinese team's attack was fruitless but the Bandung team seized the opportunity to counterattack, and the center of the Bandung team, Ma Dengshi, overtook the score again, 2-1!

The Chinese team has since come out of the nest, but neither Lu Zhuhu, nor Li Huitang, Dai Linjing and others have gotten a good opportunity. Bishop Yan can only repeat the old trick, and with a wave of his hand, Tan Jiangbai, you will go up for me to fight for the header!

The only good trick was still effective, 5 minutes before the end of the game, Tan Jiangbai pressed and scored a goal with the attitude of Mount Tai to the top, equalizing the score for the Chinese team, 2-2.

The success boosted confidence, and the momentum continued before the game. Less than a minute later, Ye Beihua also scored a goal, but unfortunately it was judged offside, and the two sides had to shake hands and make peace, drawing for the first time since going abroad.

When the players reviewed after the game, they thought that in addition to being a little tired in these games and poor field conditions, the fan atmosphere in Bandung was not enthusiastic - it was not that the overseas Chinese in Bandung were not enthusiastic enough, they also worked hard to cheer for their players, but the number of people was really not enough and failed to help the Chinese team much.

After all, the Chinese team is still used to playing wherever it plays, and everywhere it has to be like the home of the Chinese team-

Most of our nationals and expatriates can help make this happen.

For Lu Zhuhu, he was still depressed by his unimpressive performance, and at the same time, the rewards after the game have been dropping, and this time it has become the lowest level of "C". I hope that the next step is to avoid a draw completely, or it will be a "fresh daily C"......

However, the strange thing is that when Xiao Dong Xiaohua brought back the C-level treasure chest, she found that the treasure chest was unusually heavy.

Could this "consolation prize" still give people unexpected surprises?

opened it with anticipation, and all three of them shouted in unison: "Damn, what kind of ** thing is this!" ”
