Chapter 45: Midfield Tactics

Kenneth was naturally the captain of the Phil team, wearing a fiery red No. 10 jersey with an armband on his arm to symbolize the captaincy, leading the crowd from the waiting area into the stadium.

At the end of the dark aisle, the light suddenly flashed, and tens of thousands of spectators thundered in the surrounding stands, which could not help but startle Kenneth.

Kenneth led the crowd to stand next to the referee after shaking hands with the opposing captain's players in turn, and then couldn't help but turn his head and whisper to Auston, who was the vice-captain: "Auston, how can there be so many people?!" ”

"The sports day of our college has always attracted the attention of the citizens of Lutheran, and it is said that the tickets are not cheap!" Alston replied quietly.

"Really?!" Kenneth was surprised.

"Uh-huh, captain of Team Fir, please don't talk to each other!" But it was the referee who said to Kenneth solemnly, and Kenneth hurriedly straightened up and straightened up.

"Please come out of the captains of both sides!" The referee said loudly.

Kenneth quickly stepped forward and turned to face the captain of the Merse team. It was a boy of typical wizard stature, not outstanding, around 155 centimeters tall, a head shorter than Kenneth, and lost momentum for a while.

I saw the referee take out a silver coin, the front is the national emblem of the Xiao Empire, a giant shield supported by the claws of a giant dragon, painted with a bust of the hero Xio standing with a sword, the head of the giant dragon is located in the upper left corner of the giant shield, looking straight ahead, the dragon's tail goes around the front of the shield, and there is a gorgeous crown directly above the giant shield; On the reverse side is the head of the first magician in the legend, Abraham.

"Captain Phil, since you are '1', you can choose heads and tails first." The referee looked at Kenneth Road.

Kenneth let out a wry smile in his heart, it was a probability event again......

So Kenneth, who broke the can, said casually: "Positive." ”

The referee nodded, tossed the coin high, then slapped it on the back of his hand, opened it, and sure enough, as Kenneth expected: "On the other hand, captain of the Merse team, do you choose the right to serve or the right to choose the court?" ”

The captain of the Moes team flashed with joy on his face and immediately said, "I choose to serve." ”

The choice of venue naturally fell into Kenneth's hands, who looked at the direction where the sun was shining and then said to the referee: "I choose the right court. ”

The referee nodded and said to the two: "Please take the two captains to the outside of the field, and five minutes later, when the whistle blows, bring the players into the stadium." ”

Kenneth and the captain of the Moes team nodded, and then each led their players to the bench outside the stadium for final preparations.

————————

Five minutes later, a shrill whistle sounded in the center of the pitch, signaling both teams to enter.

Kenneth looked at the others with nervous expressions on their faces, smiled, and said, "You don't need to be so nervous, just do what we did when we were training before." ”

Everyone looked at Kenneth's confident face as usual, and they were also infected by his smile, and their stiff bodies slowly relaxed.

"Let's go, win the first game." Kenneth took a deep breath and led the group into the field, where Kevin was responsible for defending the goal as planned; Mona and Lisa play as defenders and are responsible for restoring fitness for the others; Alston and Brandon play as center, but are strangely close to Kenneth as a striker, but far away from Mona and Lisa, leaving a large empty space in the middle.

Kenneth stood face to face with the captain of the Moes team, with the ball on the halfway line and the referee making the final off-field confirmation.

The captain of the Merse team looked at Kenneth with a sympathetic look in his eyes and said, "There are only six of you?" Two other people are girls? ”

Kenneth smiled arrogantly and said, "What? Scared? ”

The captain of the Merse team laughed out loud: "Originally, I was curious about who the freshman who could become the head of the student union was sacred, but I didn't expect to be a fool." ”

Kenneth just stared sharply at the football at his feet and said with a smile, "Laugh a little more while you can laugh now, and I'll see if you can laugh again when the game starts." ”

"You guy......" The captain of the Merce team wanted to fight back, but was stopped by the referee: "Captains of the two teams, are you ready?" ”

"Ready!" The captains of both teams replied confidently.

"Very good, then ......" I saw the referee retreat outside the center circle, his feet across the middle line, his arms raised, his fingers pointed to the right side of the attack, and he blew a long whistle vigorously to announce the official start of the game.

"I'm sorry, the victory in this game was won by our Moes team!" The captain of the Moes team smiled contemptuously, then teed off and passed the ball to the center forward behind him.

Immediately afterwards, the captain of the Merse team felt a gust of wind swept past him, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had fallen to the ground, and the captain of the opposing team had rushed to his center, but with a hook of his toes, he had lost possession of the ball.

Everything happened in just over two seconds.

The captain of the Moes team was shocked: Is this using magic to speed up the movement? But you didn't see the other person using a wand?

The next moment, Kenneth had already passed the ball to Brandon's feet.

"Bran, be optimistic about the position of the opposite defender!" Kenneth let out a loud roar.

"Gotta do it!" Brandon, who was standing a little behind the halfway line, responded to Kenneth loudly and kicked out with a big kick, only to see the ball immediately fly high and fly in front of the Morse goal with an extremely high parabola.

The captain of the Moes team was confused when he saw that the opponent had simply wasted this possession: what did the other side want to do? Give us the ball back?

Then, under the shocked gaze of the whole audience, including all the players on the field, Kenneth slammed on his back foot, and the grass under his feet immediately dented to form a small hole. The next moment, almost no one could see what was happening, a gust of wind whistled across the left side of the court, and Kenneth, who was still near the halfway line, suddenly appeared half a meter in front of the opposing defender, caught the pass that fell from the sky, and then raised his right foot to deliver a sharp volley without everyone reacting.

The goalkeeper with the wand in hand blinked, and looked at the soccer ball on the left side of his body that was still spinning rapidly against the net, and his face slowly showed a look of horror as if in slow motion.

There was a brief silence in the audience.

The referee on the sidelines whistled and didn't blow the whistle because he was surprised, and then his body reacted violently and blew the whistle as if venting his emotions.

At the same time, the emotions of the audience were also detonated, and the entire stadium was drowned out by the sound of heated discussions and screams.

"What?! What the hell happened just now?! ”

"I'll go! How did the ball go in? Did you see that? ”

"Who's that kid?! How did he do it?! ”

"Ahhhhh!!hh

“……”

Kenneth, who was standing at the door of the opponent's ball, just gasped slightly, slowly turned around, raised his right hand high at his player, and then clenched it fiercely.

The five people who watched Kenneth move also responded with the same movement, raised their right hands high, and then clenched them fiercely.

We can seize this victory!

In the first minute of the opening period, the Phil team took the lead with a point.

However, this was only the beginning of the nightmare for the Morse team.

——————

Directly opposite the stadium is an enclosed spectator seat, divided into many boxes, which are specially set up by the college. It occupies the best viewing angle, and each box is engraved with three magic arrays of water system - "temperature control", which can adjust the temperature within a radius of 10 meters to 100 meters, so that the temperature in the box is always at a suitable temperature, and can meet the various requirements of the box guests at any time, to achieve the best experience of watching the ball game.

Headmaster Alva was also in a box in the VIP seat at this time, and in addition to him, Earl Brooke, the student council president, Clare, and the secretary Maddie were also prominently present.

Because it is an enclosed box, the noise of the auditorium outside is well insulated, and there is only the sound of four people inhaling softly in the box.

Earl Brooke put on a monocle, looked through the transparent glass at Kenneth, who was galloping in the field, looked at Alva in surprise and said, "Oh my God, who is that child, Headmaster Alva?" ”

Alva just looked at Claire, so Claire answered Earl Brooke's question without humility or arrogance: "My lord, that is a promising freshman in our academy, named Kenneth Lancelot. ”

Earl Brooke couldn't help but nod his head and said, "How did he do that ball?" Oh my gosh, he scored another goal that way! ”

Claire looked at Kenneth, who had repeated his old tricks and scored again, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and then he shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, maybe it's some kind of acceleration magic." ”

Count Brooke is not a magician, but he still knows some basic common sense, and he is puzzled: "But won't there be a magic array when using magic?" I don't think I see it? ”

"Maybe it's the use of enchanted equipment, in that case, we sitting here will naturally not be able to see the magic array." Claire explained to him.

"Oh~ I see. Do you know how to crack his tactics? Earl Brooke examined Kraldau with great interest.

Claire smiled, pointed to the field and said, "My lord, if Kenneth wants to complete this tactic, let's call it a 'midfield tactic', he must pass the ball to his center first, which is why they have two center forwards so high. Then, the centre-forward sends the ball forward and Kenneth catches up and shoots the ball into the back of the net, and that's all they do as a midfielder. It's simple but definitely effective, but it's not without a crack. ”

Earl Brooke looked at Kenneth, who scored another goal in the field, and his mood became excited with Kenneth's movements, and he hurriedly asked Krall: "Is there really any way to crack it?" ”

Claire nodded, but raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Don't worry, my lord, this game is still long." We students at Luther School of Magic are not easy to match. ”

Earl Brooke became more and more interested when he heard this, although his heart was already biased towards Kenneth's Phil team, but he still looked at the Merce team in the field and hoped that they could bring him some surprises.

And in a dark corner of the stadium, there are also people watching the game closely, or more accurately, Kenneth speeding back and forth inside the field.
