54 first wins
The match with Rongcheng was held on the 21st, and Shangdu Youth Games U16, that is, Jiangong U16, sent forwards Wang Yifan, Niu Xinqi, forward Yang Chengyu, back Shang Hao, Yu Hui, defenders Gu Shuo, Sun Tianxiang, Guo Zhili, Li Mengshen, Zhu Zhihao, and goalkeeper Tian Yuan, sent all the main forces to win.
Because the rules of the qualifiers are the top two in the group and the three third places with the best results in the four groups, the Dihua team and the Hujiang Jingning team in Group C are theoretically stronger, so Shangdu and Rongcheng, who are similar in strength, regard each other as the most direct competitors, and the first game is directly related to the qualifying situation, and they attach great importance to this game.
Sunset greeted her teammates before the game and felt that everyone was too nervous, so she wanted to control the pace first, and then speed up the pace when everyone was used to the game.
Once the game began, Sunset added the ball in the midfield and slowed down the tempo, a radical departure from the previous fast and direct style, leaving the coaches jumping on the sidelines.
In a little over a month, Sunset and Arshavin learned not only the language, but also the simple and practical dribbling of Arshavin. Although it was still a little clumsy, it was still enough in the game of his peers, and with the speed of Sunset, he barely managed to stumble and control the ball in the middle of the Rongcheng midfield.
It wasn't until the Rongcheng team's defense retreated back to position that Sunset poured the ball out of the two midfielders and pushed it to Gu Shuo on the left.
There was an open field around Gu Shuo, and the Rongcheng defender retreated very deeply, and no one was marking him, so that he had a chance to adjust the stiff stop of the ball, and after catching up with the football again, he pushed the ball to the middle of the penalty area.
Wang Yifan, who retreated to receive the ball, received the ball and shot it, but it was ridiculously high and flew directly into the air.
When taking advantage of the retreat, Wang Yifan ran to Sunset's side and asked Sunset a little eagerly:
"Brother Hui, I didn't expect that the slowdown you said would be so slow, shouldn't you hurry up?"
"In this way, we will stabilize the meeting first, and I found that everyone's movements are relatively tight today, so we have to adapt to the game for a while and then speed up the pace, otherwise I am worried that we will make too many mistakes."
The brief exchange didn't completely dispel Wang's disagreement, but with Sunset's credibility in the minds of his teammates, they were asked to do what Sunset wanted for the time being.
Sunset has been looking for safe passes since winning the ball, preferring to control the ball herself if she doesn't have a chance, and then find an opportunity to give the ball to her teammates in the open space, constantly passing it from team mate to teammate until they get used to the game.
This is very different from the pre-game deployment arranged by Coach Han Mingqin to attack at the beginning, which caused Han Mingqin to lose his temper yelling on the sidelines.
After more than ten minutes, after his teammates were slowly adjusting to the game with a safe pass, Sunset held the ball in the midfield while raising his hand with a fist in one hand.
The front court of Jiangong U16 immediately came to life, and Niu Xinqi and Wang Yifan, who had been a little listless before, opened both sides and rushed forward at high speed.
Sunset quickly slammed the back of the Rongcheng team, and then sent the ball into the box between the two defenders of the Rongcheng team.
The Rongcheng team didn't know Sunset's style, but they didn't expect Sunset, who had been slowly swallowing and sticking to the ball after the opening, to have such a sharp pass, and the defender didn't have time to turn back, Niu Xinqi had already inserted behind him to receive the ball.
Niu Xinqi immediately knocked on the right side, Wang Yifan also rushed to meet the ball from the defender, and then raised his foot to shoot, but the football was still slightly off the post.
Although he failed to score a goal, Ke Jiangong U16 was like a tiger who suddenly woke up, sweeping away the previous delay in attacking, and repeatedly made quick direct passes behind him, tearing the Rongcheng back line into holes.
In the 26th minute, Sunset got a pass from the back and pressed the ball to the right a little bit, twisted his body to let the opponent go from the left, and got rid of the defender with the ball, and immediately sent the ball to the left side Gu Shuo's feet. He didn't stop, and ran diagonally to the middle circle to get close to Gu Shuo.
Gu Shuo immediately returned the ball to Sunset, and he swooped forward along the side, which seemed to be another standard two-way breakthrough.
The afterglow of the ball flicked to the right, and then kicked a long pass over the top and sent it to the feet of Wang Yifan in the right front.
Unlike Sunset, who has never played in the U15 and U16 series of championships, at the U16 Championship held in Beihai at the beginning of the year, Wang Yifan, who scored 6 goals in 3 games, was the focus of the Rongcheng team. As soon as Wang Yifan stopped the ball on his chest and controlled the ball, the defenders of the Rongcheng team stuck to him and did not give him a chance to control the ball calmly.
Wang Yifan did not seek to break through or get rid of it, leaned back to support his opponent, and swept the ball back to the edge of the penalty area with his feet.
After Sunset passed the ball, he began to quickly cut forward, the ball arrived, and in front of the penalty area, he used Niu Xinqi and Wang Yifan's huge empty crotch to raise his foot and volley directly, and the football hung in the dead corner of the goal, rubbed the post and flew into the net.
This beautiful goal made the U16s completely let go of their burdens and play with ease and brightness.
On the contrary, the Rongcheng team was worried that the empty crotch behind them would be used by Jiangong U16 again, and the defense line retreated very far back, and was firmly suppressed in their own half by Jiangong U16, embarrassed.
In the 32nd minute, Sunset in front of the penalty area picked up the ball to the right, and Wang Yifan rushed to the top of the ball and smashed the ball into the goal.
The score of 2:0 in the first half made Han Mingqin no longer so angry, and he no longer mentioned that he planned to replace Sunset with Ma Zeyu in the 20th minute, but repeatedly told that he would defend with all his strength in the second half and maintain the victory.
But on the field, the Jiangong team was not conservative, and suppressed the Rongcheng team to the half, and then repeatedly impacted the goal of the Rongcheng team.
In the 56th minute, Sunset once again volleyed on the penalty line, but the ball was saved by the unusually focused Rongcheng goalkeeper, and Wang Yifan followed up and shot into the net, completely killing the game.
After 3:0, Han Mingqin replaced Sunset with Ma Zeyu, a defender with stronger defensive ability, which not only strengthened the defense, but also maintained Sunset's physical strength.
After Sunset left the field, Yang Chengyu led the attack by forward midfielder, but his passing threat and penetration were obviously not as good as Sunset, resulting in the Rongcheng team with little pressure quickly coming out.
The Rongcheng team after the overall formation was on par with the U16 team, but fortunately, the tension of their players has not been eliminated, and several threatening passes were either high or missed, and failed to recover the score.
Until less than 3 minutes before the end, Liu Chaoyang, a striker who has been studying in Sao Paulo, Brazil, got a chance in the small penalty area and broke the goal of Jiangong U16 with a very hidden volley, chasing the score to 3:1.
But it was also the final score, with the Under-16s claiming a very important victory and taking the lead in their chances of qualifying from the group.
