For the 4 seeded teams, the winner of Group AB and the winner of Group CD will meet in the final, so the other 3 teams don't really want to be drawn to City 1 High School. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

For some weak teams, such as the third middle school that did not appear in the group stage last year, the other two teams that hope to draw are also the teams that did not qualify in the group last year, so it will be much more beneficial for them to qualify.

At the draw ceremony, the first team to draw lots was the 4 seeded teams, and the result was that City No. 1 Middle School drew Group A, Hongzhou County No. 1 Middle School drew Group B, Hecheng County No. 1 Middle School drew Group C, and Group D was the old strong team City No. 2 Middle School.

The draws were carried out one after another, and the No. 3 Railway Middle School represented by Coach Shi Jiang was assigned to the penultimate to draw lots.

By the time Coach Shi Jiang drew lots, the distribution of the group had been basically determined. Only Group D and Group B remain, and these two groups are worlds apart, because Group B has no team in any group except for Hongzhou County No. 1 Middle School, which was third last year, and it is theoretically the least competitive team.

Group D is composed of City No. 2 Middle School, Yatunbao County No. 1 Middle School, and Qulin County No. 1 Middle School, and the latter two teams both entered last year's top 8 tournament and is a veritable group of death.

One step forward is heaven, one step back is hell, Coach Shi Jiang, who was not too nervous, at this time, his hands were still trembling unconsciously, and his palms were still sweaty.

Because of this slight grab, if you catch Group B, you will have already stepped into the threshold of the top 8 with half a foot. And if the result is Group D, how can it be Group D, it can't be Group D, it can't be Group D, it won't be Group D, Coach Shi Jiang told himself very firmly.

But God will joke with you a lot of the time, just like this joke with Coach Shi Jiang. The last thing he had in his hand was the draw number of Group D, and he couldn't laugh at all at this joke that God played on him, and he still had a trace of despair.

At this time, the old coach who didn't have to draw lots at the end came over and patted Coach Shi Jiang on the shoulder, said thank you and acknowledged, brother, and then happily returned to his seat.

When Coach Shi Jiang returned to his seat, he could only smile bitterly, Group D, City No. 2 Middle School, Yatunbao County No. 1 Middle School and Qulin County No. 1 Middle School, Zhen Nima was unlucky.

It's been almost a month since I came to Railway No. 3 Middle School, and Li Xiaonan suddenly missed Teacher Zuo Jian very much, a teacher who has been teaching him for three years in junior high school. I don't know how he is doing in Beijing now, whether he has fulfilled his wish, and most importantly, whether he has met her.

At this time, he found a notebook in the box, which recorded the phone number of Teacher Zuo Jian, and then dialed the phone from the landline in the dormitory.

"Dut...... Honk...... Honk...... It's Xiao Nan, right? On the other end of the phone came the familiar voice of Mr. Zuo Jian.

Li Xiaonan was very strange that Teacher Zuo Jian was able to guess that it was himself when he didn't speak, and he asked Teacher Zuo Jian later to know that now it is estimated that only he can contact Teacher Zuo Jian here.

From the phone, I learned that Mr. Zuo Jian is now serving as the football coach of a high school in Beijing, and he has begun to slowly get on the right track.

Li Xiaonan made a detailed description of his selection for the football team of Railway No. 3 Middle School and his performance in the friendly match with Zuo Jian, especially his feeling on the court. Zuo Jian's response made Li Xiaonan fall into contemplation.

"Xiao Nan, if you really decide to pursue a career in football, I will recommend you to the UK when you graduate from high school. When I returned to Beijing, I started to contact my classmates who had already graduated, and some of them who were doing well were now managers of Championship teams. Zuo Jian still wants Li Xiaonan to think about such an important choice.

"Your three years have not been wasted, you have come over in a real way, I have accompanied you one by one, and I know your situation very well. Just give you some time to get used to it, and it's just your attitude that determines how far you can go on the pitch. Zuo Jian's feelings for Li Xiaonan are not only teachers, but also like former closed disciples, and he hopes that he can go further and further on this road.

After hearing the advice given by Mr. Zuo Jian, Li Xiaonan was actually excited in his heart, and the opportunity to go to the top European league should be the dream of every football player. It's just that I guess the cost is too expensive.

"Teacher Zuo, if you go over there, do you need a lot of money," for Li Xiaonan, this is a very real question.

"You don't have to worry about this at all, remember we used to watch games together, and when I was analysing games, would I go out for a short time once in a while? Actually, at that time, I went to buy the national football lottery ticket. In the process, you have won 14 very unpopular wins, and you can rest assured in terms of funds. Zuo Jian's concept of money is far less strong than that of ordinary people, and the bonus of that time is still 4 million after tax, and money is just a tool for him to achieve his goals.

"When I was watching the football game, CCTV would often promote the national sports lottery? Then I'm relieved. As long as this biggest problem is solved, Li Xiaonan feels that other things are not a big deal.

"You can play there with peace of mind, and you should strengthen your English learning in normal times, after all, if you really go abroad, the language level must be passed." After explaining, the two of them talked about some of the past in Wutong No. 3.

When Coach Shi Jiang brought back the situation of the draw grouping, Ji Yang also felt that this draw was a bit tricky, although it could not be said that there was no hope, but at least it increased a lot of difficulty.

Especially when those veteran players heard that they were assigned to Group D and wanted to compete for 2 places with the No. 2 Middle School of the city, the No. 1 Middle School of Yatunbao County, and the No. 1 Middle School of Qulin County, their faces were full of depression, and they finally waited for a year, and it was such a bad sign.

And Li Xiaonan, Wang Qiang and the players who just came in don't care who their opponents are, and some players are ignorant and fearless. Li Xiaonan likes to meet strong teams, and only by playing with strong teams can he learn things more quickly, and he will become stronger and stronger.

In other words, if you can't get ahead in the municipal league, how can you go to another sky to gallop on the battlefield.

Through a friendly match with City No. 1 Middle School, Ji Yang found that in terms of defensive counterattacks, Li Xiaonan in his team could break through with the ball, and the passing was even more picturesque. The left winger Wu Kai also has a certain ability to tear apart the opponent's right side of the defense, plus the mid-flanking striker Wang Qiang, if the cooperation is good, the counterattack tactics are very threatening.

In the usual training, the training of these three people in the process of counterattacking was deliberately strengthened. And the effect of the counterattack was also greatly surprised by the coaching staff, and Li Xiaonan was able to accurately find Wang Qiang's position almost every time.

Or can you break through by yourself, and finally directly face the opponent's penalty area, especially breaking through this piece, the main left back He Xiangjun can still defend against Li Xiaonan, but now he has been suddenly unable to touch the edge, and his self-confidence is completely lost.

Li Xiaonan also felt that his movements were becoming more and more open in training, and he could find the feeling he had in training before, especially in the passing during high-speed running, and the number of mistakes became less and less.

At this time, Li Xiaonan has completely changed from the substitute position to the main force, and finally became the absolute main force of the team's offense.

In fact, Li Xiaonan still prefers to play a position similar to the previous football king Messi, but now the team needs him to play a more powerful attack in the winger position.

After training for a period of time, facing the National Day holiday, for this long holiday, the football team of the No. 3 Railway Middle School of the Municipal High School League, the coaching staff only gave the players three days of vacation.

The veteran players have long been accustomed to this, but for Li Xiaonan, whether to take a holiday or not is actually a concept, the same life, the same rhythm.
