The second match day of the University of Sunderland futsal tournament arrived, and the Nanxiao six arrived at the football field early, and their first game was scheduled on the third court. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Dizi, today's two games are knockouts, we must not be careless." Shen Chao instructed while doing hot things.
"Don't worry, our team's Clifford is quite solid, you still don't feel at ease with him at the back?" Nan Xiao pressed his leg and said.
"I really mean Cao Cao Cao is here, our two teammates are here." Chen Mingshuo took out the football in his backpack.
"These two guys came quite early." Nan Xiao waved his hand at Archer and Clifford who were walking from a distance, "It's just in time, we've just started warming up. ”
Nan Xiao learned a lot of warm-up moves during the training of the first team, and at this time it was just in front of everyone to show it, Archer and Clifford had never seen such professional moves, and they both gave Nan Xiao a thumbs up in admiration.
"Lulu, are you feeling better?" In the rest area next to the court, Shi Yao asked You Lu with concern.
"It's good, I'm used to it." You Lu replied with a pursed mouth.
"If you really don't want to forgive him, then I'll make it clear to him and ask him to stop pestering you." Shi Yao said tentatively.
"It's okay Yaoyao, I can solve it myself." You Lu shook her head.
"It's definitely not the way to go on like this, you can't let him affect you all the time." Shi Yao persuaded.
"I ......" You Lu's heart was very entangled, she didn't know how to express her feelings.
"Lulu, tell me, do you still like him in your heart?" Shi Yao asked in a tough tone.
"I don't know." Yu Lu shook her head again.
"Lulu, do you like Nan Xiao?" Shi Yao asked softly.
When You Lu heard this, he immediately raised his head to look at Shi Yao, and then looked at Nan Xiao, who was warming up in the court, and also lowered his voice and said, "Do you think he will like me?"
"If you like him, how about I find out if he likes him or not?" Shi Yao said to You Lu with a smile.
Shi Yao's words seemed to be very tempting to You Lu, only to see her eyes blink and blink, and finally nodded gently.
The referee at Court 3 looked at the watch on his wrist and when the second hand pointed to 12, he raised his hands in front of him and blew the whistle in his mouth.
The players of the "Dortmund team" are all tall, and Shen Chao and Clifford can barely fight with them physically, but as long as the remaining Nan Xiao and the three of them touch each other's bodies, they will definitely be knocked out three meters away by the other party, which makes the three girls sitting on the sidelines feel worried.
However, although the opponent has a great advantage in physical fitness, their foot skills are far inferior to Nan Xiao's team, as the game progresses, Nan Xiao and several people pass through a continuous kick so that the opposing players can not touch the ball at all, even if they want to seek physical confrontation, they can't start.
In the 17th minute of the game, Shen Chao finally raised his eyebrows, and after winning the ball outside the penalty area, he turned around lightly and wiped past the opponent's defenders, and then broke through the opponent's goal with a violent volley.
Five minutes later, the "Chinese team" went to the next goal, Nan Xiao's kick like Xavi's possessed scalpel through the opponent's entire defense line incredible, and at the same time, Achill's running position was also wonderful, after receiving the ball, he calmly played a crotch ball in front of the goalkeeper, which caused a round of applause on the sidelines.
With a comfortable 2-0 victory, the 'Chinese team' became the only team to remain unbeaten so far in the tournament, and although the number of goals is not very large, the excellent defensive ability is enough to catch the attention of all the other teams that have qualified.
"Dizi, our opponent in the next game is said to be with hard stubble." Shen Chao said as he drank a sports drink.
There is a half-hour break before the next knockout match, and the team that lost in the eighths has already left the court, while Nan Xiao and his party have also arrived at the No. 1 court where the quarter-finals will compete against the "Argentine team".
"Clifford, do you know anything about our next opponent?" Nan Xiao asked as he relaxed his calf muscles.
'Well, they almost won the title last year, only to lose to them in the final penalty shoot-out. Clifford replied.
"And what is their style of play?" Chen Mingshuo also asked.
"Their style is similar to ours, they are also focused on ground play, but they also have very fast players, and they are fierce defensively and good at physical confrontations."
"Wouldn't they have no weaknesses then?" Shen Chao said with a confused expression.
"Everyone has weaknesses, it's just that their weaknesses may be harder to spot." Chen Mingshuo said.
"In fact, their weaknesses are not difficult to find." You Lu suddenly stood up, walked to Nan Xiao's side and said.
Nan Xiao and the others were quite surprised by You Lu's speech, so they all stared at her directly, waiting for her next speech.
"I just went to watch them and they have a high ball quotient, so they have a good anticipation of the ball, which allows them to intercept a lot of passes, and they are also very good in terms of physicality and skill at their feet, so most teams will have a lot of headaches against them and can't find an effective way to attack."
“So?” Shen Chao continued to ask with a confused expression.
"Break through, break resolutely, the one-on-one defensive ability of their team's players is the most prominent weakness, but at the same time, it is also necessary to pay special attention to the timely distribution of the ball after the breakthrough is more important, and their sense of defense is very good, so after the breakthrough is successful, you must not continue to dribble the ball and miss the opportunity."
"The professional is different, Dizi, I think You Lu's level seems to be on par with yours." Shen Chao said admiringly.
"Shen Chao, you will torment me when you say this, in front of the coach of Nanda, I am just an axe in the class." You Lu looked at Nan Xiao and said.
"I've watched the games you commentated, and your interpretation of tactics and analysis of player characteristics is really good, so don't be too modest." Nan Xiao said appreciatively.
"Don't praise each other, since You Lu has analyzed each other's weaknesses, should we also arrange corresponding tactics, Coach Nan?" Shen Chao said to Nan Xiao.
"Okay, then I'll briefly state my thoughts."
As soon as Nan Xiao spoke, Shen Chao and the four of them surrounded him and listened to him arrange the next game against the last runner-up "Argentina Team".
"Lulu, you seem to have become their military advisor now." Shi Yao said with a smile.
"Yes, Sister Lulu, I really admire you more and more, and you deserve to be a professional commentator." Lu Ying also echoed on the side.
"Don't exalt me, I'm just analyzing."
"Lulu, I think you can go directly to Nan Xiao's club to work, so that you can stay with him every day." Shi Yao said to You Lu with a wicked smile.
"Don't talk nonsense." You Lu pretended to be unhappy, but a smile on her lips betrayed her mercilessly.
You Lu and Shi Yao were joking with each other here, but they didn't notice Lu Ying's gradually lowered expression on the side.
With less than five minutes left before the start of the quarter-finals, Nan Xiao had already arranged targeted tactics, and they were making a final stretch on the sidelines of the court, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle for the assembly.
