Chapter 43 Putting Death to Life and Resurrection

When you go through a storm

Please hold your head high

Don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of that storm was a golden sky

The lark shows a sweet singing voice

Through the wind

Through the rain

Your dreams may be shattered

Keep moving

Keep moving

Hope lives on in your heart forever

You'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

"Dad, I want to be a professional footballer in the future, and I want to lead my beloved team to the top of the world like Steven Gerrard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Ten years ago, Nam Xiao stood at the TV and proudly said to his father that Gerrard was shown holding the European championship trophy and beside him stood Alonso, Carragher, Hyypia, Riese and Barosh......

"Dad, I'm going to join this club in the future, Liverpool, yes, that's it, I'm going to be a Liverpool player, I'm going to play with Gerrard!"

Nan Xiao pointed to the Englishman wearing Liverpool's No. 8 shirt on the TV, it was the night of the Istanbul miracle, it was the night that belonged to the "Reds" Liverpool.

"Nan Xiao." You Lu's voice woke Nan Xiao up from her distant thoughts, she looked at Nan Xiao who was sitting in the audience with her eyes distracted, and said softly, "What do you want?" I've been calling you for a long time. ā€

"Oh!" Nan Xiao finally came back to his senses, he got up and moved to the side, making way for You Lu, "I was thinking about what happened when I was a child, is there anything wrong with you?" ā€

"What? Just let me collect information and play a game and forget? ā€

"Haha, I almost forgot if you didn't say it." Nan Xiao smiled and scratched his head awkwardly, "It's really hard for you." ā€

"If you're so polite to me again, I'll never help you again." You Lu pretended to be angry.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, don't be upset." Nan Xiao said with a smile.

"Hmph, for the sake of your attitude, I'll forgive you this time." You Lu said with a pout.

"Okay, let's be serious, how did you analyze the other two opponents?"

"Well, almost." When it came to serious things, You Lu also put away her joking attitude and became serious.

"The defending champions 'England' were clearly much stronger than their opponents in that match, and the 4-0 score basically reflected the gap between the two teams; England's overall style is different from the opponents we have faced before, they don't like to keep the ball, as long as the ball is at their feet, then they have only one purpose, which is to attack, their attacking routine is very simple, but very effective, they will not attack more than three passes at most, and their counter-attacks are also very sharp, especially the number 9 player in the town, whether it is in terms of physical fitness or speed and shooting, he handles the ball very straightforwardly, that is, relying on physical strength, but I have not seen that defender can defend against him, it is not an exaggeration to say, with his ability, even in the Championship, you can also be at ease. ā€

"Do you know his name?" Nan Xiao asked suddenly.

"I don't know." You Lu shook his head when he heard this, "What are you asking for?" ā€

"I'm just curious how strong is he to be in the Championship?"

"You'll find out when you play him in a moment."

Through questioning Achill and Clifford, Nan Xiao learned that the No. 9 player of the "England team" in Youlu's mouth is called Gavin, who is 19 years old this year and is a native of Sunderland.

In the second round of the game with the "England team", Nan Xiao made a big move to the position of the team's players, Clifford no longer served as the team's goalkeeper, but formed a central defender combination with an average height of more than 185 cm with Shen Chao, and the goalkeeper was played by the versatile player Chen Mingshuo, Nan Xiao's position was in the midfield in advance, and Achill was at the front of the team.

This formation is specially prepared for Gavin, Shen Chao and Clifford's physique is enough for him to eat a pot, and with the advance of Nan Xiao's position, the team's offensive and defensive conversion has also improved significantly.

"The two teams we will face in this match are the 'China team' and the previous champions 'England', and this game is particularly important because both sides won the last round of the competition, and the final winner of this year's University of Sunderland Futsal Tournament is also very likely to be produced from these two teams."

'Yes, but England have two more goal difference than their opponents, so even if this game ends in a draw, it will still be very good for them.'

With the referee's whistle, the early championship battle officially started on Court 1; As You Lu said, the "England team" does not have a strong desire for the ball, so Nan Xiao's team firmly controlled the possession of the ball at their feet as soon as they came up.

Due to the lack of Chen Mingshuo's connection in the midfield, the "Chinese team" did not seem to be very smooth in the attack, and the opponent also tried to seize the mistakes of the "Chinese team" to play several waves of high-quality counterattacks.

In the 5th minute of the game, the "Chinese team" made a passing mistake again, and the opposing player found the team's offensive core Gavin for the first time after breaking the ball.

According to You Lu's summary, Gavin rarely chooses to share the ball with his teammates when he gets the ball, so Nan Xiao is not distracted to block his passing route, but just focuses on his breakthrough with the ball.

But what he didn't expect was that Gavin was not only physically strong and superb in shooting, his skills were also very delicate, I saw him facing Nan Xiao's defense, a calm cow tail feint moved the ball through Nan Xiao's legs, and when Nan Xiao reacted, Gavin had already dribbled the ball to his own penalty area, fortunately, Clifford and Shen Chao's closed door defense made Gavin's attack end without a hitch, otherwise once he got the opportunity to get his feet, it would be very dangerous for the "Chinese team".

Just a breakthrough, Nan Xiao already has a deep understanding of Gavin's ball skills, and at the same time, he gradually has an idea in his heart.

"The counterattack of the 'England team' has brought a lot of trouble to the 'Chinese team', and the No. 9 player in their team has completed many breakthroughs with his super personal ability, making the opponent's originally proud defense look a little embarrassed."

"Peter, the tactics of the 'Chinese team' in this game do not seem to want to win, they control the ball, but they have little desire to attack, don't they know that if they can't win this game, it will bury a lot of hidden dangers for the championship?"

"Since you mentioned this, I'll also share with you the data that the working group put together before the end of the last game; Of all the teams scoring in this tournament, the 'Chinese team' scored the most goals in the last 5 minutes. ā€

"Oh? In other words, the 'Chinese team' is waiting for the opportunity to kill? ā€

"It can't be said that there is no such possibility."

"But wouldn't they feel a little risky in that case?"

"There is a saying in China, which is called death and then life, and I would like to see if the 'Chinese team' will once again bring us a wonderful show of desperate survival."
