Soon after the freshmen returned from military training, Zhang Yuntao, the sports minister of the public management department, organized a football match between the old and the new. The freshmen of the class of '97 are vulnerable, and almost all of them are novices.

This cast a shadow on the football team of the public management system to hit the first division again this year, which disappointed Yang Jun and Zhang Yuntao.

After more than a year of crazy football, Yang Jun has become the most improved player in the public management department, and his footwork, speed, and physical strength have improved by more than one level, and his level has been the same as before, and his self-confidence on the court has gradually been established.

Zhang Yuntao, Song Bin, Yang Yang and others have also made great progress in their level, and their comprehensive strength is still a little higher than Yang Jun. These 4 people have become the absolute main force of the football team of the public management department.

At the beginning of October, the 96th class of the School of Information was about the 96th class of the Department of Public Management. There are more than 100 male students at the first level of the School of Information, which is equivalent to the total number of male students in the entire public administration department. Therefore, there are many boys who play well in the School of Information, and they have always been the top 4 teams in the first division, unlike the public management department, which is always in the second division.

In the confrontation with the 96 information team, after fierce competition, the two sides fought to a 1:1 draw. This gave Yang Jun and them a boost of self-confidence.

However, as far as the public administration system as a whole is concerned, there is still a shortage of manpower. A complete team needs at least 11 strong men. Including the 4 players of 96, only 8 people in the entire public management system played well.

In other words, even if all the main players play, the team still has 3 weaknesses.

It's okay for such a team to win when it encounters a weak team, but when it encounters a strong team, it is very easy to be caught by others.

The Second Division of the University kicked off, and the Department of Public Administration defeated a weak team, but lost to the Department of Economics, a strong team that was accidentally eliminated from the First Division last year, and is also the favorite to win the Second Division this year.

Next, the Department of Public Administration will face the Graduate Student Wing. This team has just been formed, and it is spontaneously formed by graduate students from various departments, and its strength is unfathomable.

If you can't beat the Graduate Student, you won't be able to rush the armor.

The pre-game meeting was held at 408 and was chaired by Zhang Yuntao. More than a dozen people were standing, sitting, or lying on their beds. Some are emotionally charged and ready to go, while others are preoccupied and silent.

"We've seen a few of the previous games, and the graduate team is very strong, and success or failure is here. Listening to Liu Liqun, their team has carefully studied us and vowed to use us as a stepping stone for promotion. Zhang Yuntao was the first to speak. Liu Liqun is a graduate student of the Department of Public Administration and the winner of the school's pentathlon championship.

"I'm going to do a good job no matter what, this is my last time." A senior brother of the 94th level said faintly, which reminded Yang Jun of the poor senior brother of the 93rd level, who had never played in the first division in four years of college.

'They are very strong and we can only defend and counter-attack.' Liu Jiang, the senior brother of the 95th level, has rich experience and is the core of the midfield.

"Yang Jun and Song Bin are both very fast, let them play two wing-backs, and quickly counterattack at every opportunity." Another senior brother suggested, "But the two of them don't know if there is a problem with their physical strength." ”

"It's okay, fight with them!" Yang Jun's voice was not loud, but it was unusually firm.

"Fight!" The crowd said in harmony.

The competition takes place on a Saturday afternoon. On the course, which is more than 100 meters long and more than 60 meters wide, the wind rolls up the loess. There was a circle of cheerleaders standing by the court, several girls covered their faces in the wind and sand, and Yang Jun saw Tong Ziyun from a distance.

As soon as the game started, the Graduate team controlled the ball and kept attacking. Central defender Zhang Yuntao is exhausted, constantly filling in the loopholes, and trying to disrupt the opponent's rhythm. Once, when he was about to shoot from close range in front of the opponent, he did not hesitate to shovel the striker down, received a yellow card, and his knee was also worn off a piece of skin by the yellow earth, and he was drenched in blood.

Yang Jun and Song Bin ran back and forth on the two wings, one defending, the other attacking, constantly seesawing back and forth.

After a few rounds, Yang Jun gasped heavily, and his legs were already a little weak. He looked at Song Bin on the other side, his face was already pale, he was sweating profusely, and he was sometimes squatting there panting.

There were frequent dangers in front of the public management department, and most of their players gathered at the door to defend, and did not organize a decent attack. However, the opponent was unable to score under the dense defense.

The score was 0:0 in the first half.

"We must distribute our physical strength reasonably and come on in the second half! We have a chance! Liu Jiang encouraged everyone.

Is there still physical strength that can be distributed? Yang Jun was so tired that his mind was a little wooden.

After a moment's respite, the game continued. The graduate student team continued to bombard indiscriminately around the gate of the public management team, and the scene was extremely passive.

Suddenly, in the midst of the chaos, Zhang Yuntao roared, flew up, and kicked the ball out from the feet of the opponent's striker.

The ball flew up a full ten stories and ran towards the half court of the graduate team.

At the moment when Zhang Yuntao's foot was next to the football, Yang Jun turned his head and ran towards the opponent's door, and in a flash of light, he had already rushed through the half-court.

The opposing team's players came back to their senses and quickly retreated, while Liu Jiang, Liu Yang, Song Bin and other members of the public management team also ran to the door of the graduate team as soon as possible, ready to pick up Yang Jun.

A dozen people set off from different points and suddenly rushed in one direction. Yang Jun ran at the front of the team. The cheerleaders of the public management department on the sidelines were excited, shouting and cheering loudly, and several girls screamed.

The ball was still flying in the sky, and the last defender left behind by the graduate team rushed towards Yang Jun, and he couldn't let Yang Jun get the ball.

The ball arced gracefully and began to fall rapidly. Yang Jun was running at high speed, suddenly jumped up, the whole person flew out, and his right foot stretched out sharply in front of him.

The ball that fell from high in the air slammed into his instep with a muffled thud and flew towards the corner of the goal on the other side.

The tall and sturdy guard was half a step late, but he collided with Yang Jun in the air at high speed. Hearing only the sound of flesh impact, Yang Jun was ejected two or three meters away and fell heavily to the ground.

The goalkeeper scrambled to pounce, but the ball flew past him!

Poop! With a muffled sound, Yang Jun, who was lying on the ground, saw that the ball hit the dead corner of the goalpost and bounced back!

Without a moment's hesitation, he immediately rolled over and jumped up from the ground, running towards the bouncing ball, ignoring the large blood marks on his shoulders and back, and the bruised wrists that had been bruised when he landed.

He's going to make up for it again!

All he had in his eyes was football, and he didn't feel any pain.

This time, however, the stout defender took the lead and kicked the ball out with a big kick!

Yang Jun turned around and ran to the half of the public management department, and he saw from a distance that Zhang Yuntao was already lying on the ground with a painful expression.

The referee stopped the game. Zhang Yuntao had cramps in his calves.

This was a fatal blow to the already exhausted public management team.

Zhang Yuntao was replaced, the game continued, the defense line of the public management team was finally torn apart, and the remaining players fought until the last moment.

The final whistle blew, 0:1.

Yang Jun wanted to cry without tears. He was not in the mood to shake hands with the graduate team at all, so he brushed his sleeves and sat on the sidelines, depressed.

Liu Jiang, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, comforted the frustrated Yang Jun, "There will be a chance in the future, it's okay." Yang Jun saw that the eyes of the 94-level senior brother were red, and it seemed that he had no chance.

Yang Jun tortured himself countless times, if the ball could go in, would the graduate team be in a mess, and the public management department would be able to win the game? Is it possible to rush into the first division?

The failure made Yang Jun, Zhang Yuntao and others extremely depressed, and they had nowhere to pour their bitter water, so they had to play cards all night to vent.

They didn't go to the brothers for a drink, which might have made the 94 brothers even more miserable, and the scene of last year is still vivid.

Perhaps, no matter what, as Liu Jiang said, at least they still have a chance, even more than once.

Moreover, after the baptism of the competition, they have grown again, not only in technology, but also in personal awareness, teamwork, and even tenacious struggle.
