Chapter 12: All the Way Forward
On April 25, the Lions sat at the Lushi Municipal Stadium to meet the challenge of Wenzhou tomorrow.
Wenzhou is ranked fifth at this time tomorrow, and this game to the home court of the Lions can be described as violent, and there is a great heart to sweep the three points.
Both sides will play this game as if it were a six-point game, and a win will leave them behind their rivals. In a game like this, even a draw is unacceptable, and if that were the case, the sixth and seventh places would be the best for the fishermen.
Li Ming maintains his previous steady style and still ranks 4231 in play. Guan Xiaolong was on the right, Wang Jinheng was on the left, Xue Hang was in the middle, and Ding Li was in front. Yu Yang and Zhang Fan controlled the midfield, Du Degang and Lin Xiao sat in the back, and Fan Dahai and Jiang Yipeng protected the wings.
"All the way!"
"Always support the Lions!"
Although it was just an ordinary league game, the Lions still gathered nearly 30,000 spectators at home. Fans held high slogans and flags and cheered for the home team.
In the stands, Guan's father and his family also came to the scene to watch the game.
"Dad, look, it's my brother, they're on the scene." Kwan shouted as he pointed to the players' tunnel.
"Sit down!" Guan Dayong's wife looked disgusted.
"Look, Xiaolong seems to be still playing lion football, not lying to us, not as the second child said." Father Guan said to Mother Guan.
"Great! I said that our family Aaron, how could he do bad things with bad people? Guan Mu finally relaxed after seeing Guan Xiaolong.
This is still what Grandma Guan thinks, she said Xiaolong is clever, don't let him run away again, all four of you go, you will definitely be able to find him. Grandma was so worried at home that she couldn't use modern media equipment at the age of eighty, so she listened to the rumors of her family and choked on it.
While the family was talking, the game had begun.
The stakes are high, not only for the team to maintain their top four in the table. If you perform well in this game, you may be able to complete the main mission of ADA in this game. So Guan Xiaolong was super excited, and his performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends was outstanding.
The back of the Wenzhou Tomorrow team poured back and forth near the center circle in an attempt to penetrate in the middle. However, after passing back and forth a few times, I didn't find much flaw. After a round of offense, the ball was at the feet of the Lions.
Guan Xiaolong quickly ran across the midfield and asked his teammates for the ball.
"This kid, I ate gasoline today, so motivated!" Yu Yang saw Guan Xiaolong and knew that he was itching again, so he passed the ball to Guan Xiaolong.
Guan Xiaolong stopped, looked up at the penalty area, and passed the ball out without waiting for the opposing player to step forward.
This is Guan Xiaolong's best position, and the penalty area is 45 degrees obliquely in front of him. The ball passed suddenly, and although Ding Li was prepared, he still didn't follow. Ding Li, who lost a good opportunity, felt a little embarrassed and applauded his hands to Guan Xiaolong.
Although there were no goals in this wave of attacks, the atmosphere at home was mobilized. The two sides started relatively conservatively, and the Lions have yet to attack. The touch of the ball almost killed the ball, and of course the fans were excited.
Soon, though, the Lions had a great opportunity.
Xue Hang pushed forward with his individual ability, attracting the attention of two defenders. Ding Li and Wang Jinheng were both looking for opportunities in front of the penalty area, and the Wenzhou team's back line looked a little chaotic.
Just as everyone was focusing on the left and middle lanes, Guan Xiaolong suddenly plugged in at high speed on the right lane.
Who is Xue Hang? Guan Xiaolong's good friend!
As soon as Guan Xiaolong started, Xue Hang caught a glimpse of it and distributed the ball in time. This point stuffed a single goal.
Guan Xiaolong took the ball and took a step forward, and the opposing defender hurriedly made up for it. But at this time, Guan Xiaolong already had a chance to shoot, and he did not hesitate, and shot hard with his right foot, straight to the left side of the goal.
The goalkeeper saw Guan Xiaolong plugging in from the right side, and the center of gravity followed to the right side to defend. Guan Xiaolong's hit of the door happened to go in the opposite direction of the goalkeeper. Despite the goalkeeper's efforts to save sideways, he still couldn't touch the ball.
1 to 0!
"Good ball!!"
"It's No. 17 Guan Xiaolong!"
"Great! I'm ahead!! Everyone, get up! ”
Guan Xiaolong was excited after scoring the goal, and rushed to Xue Hang is a bear hug.
50 points in hand, 30 points missing!
The Wenzhou team was a little impatient after conceding the goal. They really wanted to win the game and they played okay after the start, and the only negligence caused the goal to be conceded. While the head coach calmed down on the sidelines, he encouraged his players to press forward and not to be cowered by conceding the ball.
The manager was right to do so, but the players on the pitch didn't know if it was a problem with their form or because of something, and they made mistakes again.
This time it was Zhang Fan's steal near the midfield, and it was decisively stuffed to Xue Hang, who was in an excellent position. Xue Hang took a few steps and gave it to Ding Li, and Ding Li shot directly after dodging the angle, hitting a dead end, two to zero!
"Wow! Another goal! Guan Dayong shouted excitedly.
Although Guan's father and Guan's mother can't understand it, they both know that their son's team is in a good situation now.
It was supposed to be a battle for points, and the two sides should be inseparable to fit the plot. But sometimes that's it, something unbelievable happens.
The Wenzhou team suddenly collapsed, without warning.
After conceding the last goal, the centre-backs and midfielders blame each other. The defender blamed the midfielder for failing to control the ball, and the defender blamed the defender for not stepping forward to help.
Just when the infighting in his own house was high, Guan Xiaolong killed again!
It is said that Guan Xiaolong, as a winger, is mainly tasked with breaking through and assisting. But Guan Xiaolong was excited in this game, and he basically participated in every attack. This time it was initiated in the middle lane, and Guan Xiaolong had already been ambushed in the penalty area.
There was no chance in the middle, Ding Li passed to Wang Jinheng on the left side in front of the penalty area.
Wang Jinheng swept in front of the goal, Guan Xiaolong rushed to the ball and kicked the ball into the net, and the goalkeeper didn't even have time to react.
"Dad, look! Xiaolong has scored again! Guan Dayong shouted.
Father Guan and Mother Guan stood up excitedly.
Guan Xiaolong's goal was so cool that he stepped over the billboard, jumped on the railing and celebrated wildly with the fans. The fans in the stadium wanted to hug the little player who surprised them.
"Goal drop, it's No. 17 again, off ...... Small...... Dragon!!!! ”
Lushi Municipal Stadium suddenly became a sea of joy, and the on-site anchor used the microphone to announce Guan Xiaolong's name loudly and interact with the fans.
"I didn't expect it, this kid is quite promising!" Father Guan's eyes were full of tears.
The youngest son in front of him, who celebrated with the fans, seemed both familiar and strange in front of Guan's father. is familiar because Guan Xiaolong has been obsessed with football since he was a child, and he watches the World Cup and European Cup football on the sports channel every day. When the team you support wins, they celebrate no less passionately than they do on TV;
However, it seems a little strange now. Although Guan Xiaolong has a hobby, his physical fitness is average, and he does not do well in the system, Xue Hang, who is the same year as him, is a substitute, and Xiaolong is still in the reserve.
Although Guan's father doesn't know much about football, he knows that this is the same as school, the good ones will naturally go up, and the bad ones can only stay put, or even be relegated.
"Good!!" With tears in his eyes, Guan's father celebrated with Guan Dayong and Guan's mother.
