Chapter 3 The Purpose of the Finals
Zhou Yi turned his head and glanced at the scoreboard on the sidelines before going on the field, which clearly showed "0:0", which means that neither team scored, or a draw.
That's good news for him.
He wasn't surprised by the scoreline.
Just from the situation of the game on the field that he saw before he fell asleep, he could guess this score.
Actually, he didn't lie, he really just fell asleep.
Before, others were sitting on the bench and still watching the game, but the game itself was really not spectacular, except for fighting fiercely, it was not interesting at all.
He yawned a lot, plus he was so excited last night, he went to bed late, got up early, and didn't get enough sleep.
Despite the scorching sun above his head, and his butt sitting on a stool was like a teppanyaki, he fell asleep irrepressibly.
Although it was a bit embarrassing to fall asleep on the sidelines, Zhou Yi didn't feel too embarrassed. Football, it's still about the performance on the field, and it has nothing to do with the off-field.
As long as you can play well, what if you fall asleep on the bench?
He ran onto the pitch with great ambition.
※※※
After Zhou Yi was woken up, everyone understood - this kid fell asleep on the sidelines!
Then there was a burst of laughter in the stands.
Zhou Jianliang was annoyed by this laughter -- my son, no matter how shameful it is, it is also my son! It's not your turn to laugh!
So he stood up suddenly, put his hands to his mouth, and shouted into the stadium: "Come on, son, play hard! Daddy supports you!"
Zhou Yi, who had just stepped onto the court, heard his father's shout, he turned around and saluted his father, and Zhou Jianliang also returned a salute to him. This is the usual way that father and son communicate with each other.
After saluting, Zhou Jianliang looked at the laughing people defiantly.
When the parents found out that this person was actually the father of the object of their teasing, and their identity was the same as them, they were a little embarrassed, and they lowered their heads or looked away.
Zhou Jianliang waited until the last person looked away from him, and then slowly sat down as a victor.
※※※
Although Zhou Yi was full of ambition when he ran on the court, he wanted to turn the tide by himself.
But the reality was far from what he imagined.
As a midfielder, you have to handle the ball a lot on the pitch.
But when he got on the pitch, no one passed the football to him - of course, everyone just hated to stick the football to their feet, how could they easily pass the football to their competitors?
No matter how Zhou Yi raised his hand and shouted loudly, no one passed the football to him.
He's been on the pitch for five minutes, zero touches, zero performances.

"It's really a plate of loose sand......" Hao Dong on the rostrum finally couldn't hold back, shook his head and sighed.
Xiao Wang next to him could also see that the level of this game was very low, so he took this opportunity to ask the question in his heart: "Brother Dong, I have a question...... Why don't you have such a competition in the finals instead of a competition of individual skills like the previous auditions? Everyone is put together on an improvised basis, and they are all competitors to each other, so this competition must not be good-looking......
Hao Dong said: "These people are not bad in the competition of individual technologies, otherwise they will not be able to enter the finals." It doesn't make much sense to compare any more. Why would I want to turn the finals into a competition? Because I want to see something outside of technology. ”
"Something other than technology?" Xiao Wang was puzzled.
"Well, something other than football technology, is football awareness. Hao Dong explained, "It's something deeper, technology can be practiced, but consciousness is mostly innate, and this is talent." ”
"This ......" Hearing Hao Dong's explanation, Xiao Wang was even more puzzled, "Wouldn't it be too exaggerated for you to want to see those things in this game, Brother Dong?"
"That's why I'm just asking for one thing. ”
"What?"
"The sense of teamwork. ”
Xiao Wang suddenly realized: "No wonder you mentioned it at the end just now, telling them that football is a team sport." ”
"Of course, what if you think I'm talking nonsense......? I don't think these kids listened. Hao Dong shook his head and stopped talking.

Zhou Yi, as a midfielder, couldn't even get the ball close to the blue team's goal, and it was overcrowded, with players from the blue team and the red team huddled together, and there was no room to play with the ball.
Considering this situation, Zhou Yi did not insist on knocking down the front of the penalty area to grab space with his teammates, he chose to retreat and retreated to the position of the back midfield.
And the teammates who were originally playing in the back were a little surprised to see Zhou Yi take the initiative to retreat. But he didn't ask why, since someone is willing to take the initiative to retreat, then he won't have a chance to move forward?
Thinking of this, he threw off Zhou Yi and rushed straight up.
Zhou Yi also saw the teammate's move, but he didn't pay attention to it, his gaze passed over the forward-rushing teammate, and stretched forward, he saw a completely different scene from when he was forward.
When he used to play as a striker in the varsity team at all levels, the area of activity was basically in the attacking third zone, mainly in the opponent's penalty area. There, he focused more on the goal, on the situation in the box. He also needs to be concerned about the situation elsewhere.
And now he can see the position of almost everyone in the field, except for the two centre-backs and a goalkeeper behind him.
It's like a picture of the Qingming River, when playing as a striker, Zhou Yi always sees a part.
But after being forced to become a midfielder and retreat to a midfield position, the famous painting slowly unfolded in front of him for the first time, revealing its full true face......
Every detail was clearly displayed in front of Zhou Yi, he swung his head to the left, and saw the situation on the left side, on the left, the left back of the red team had rushed to the front, and from the position point of view, he could almost be regarded as a left winger. Next to him was the BLU right-back, who got stuck on the inside of the RED left-back, preventing him from breaking inside and receiving the ball.
Then he turned his head back and saw the middle. It's a lot more complicated in the middle than in the wing, because there are more people.
The players of the red and blue teams are basically concentrated here, like dogs, I have you, you have me.
Zhou Yi looked to the right again, and it was basically the same situation as the left.
The midfielder who had just run up exacerbated the confusion and couldn't get the ball at all.
But in that case, how can you win?
Zhou Yi frowned.
After stepping onto the court, seeing this situation made his mind change as well. He doesn't know how much chance he has of getting that one spot right now, but he's more concerned about winning the game than getting into the West.
He didn't want to just watch his team lose a game, even though it was a makeshift patchwork.
Something had to be done.
※※※
The RED team swarmed up to attack when attacking, but because they were fighting on their own, they basically did not pose any threat to the blue team's goal. Instead, he lost possession in the attack, and was kicked out by a big kick from the blue team, and the ball flew straight to the midfield and flew to the ...... Zhou Yi's front, landed, and then bounced up, and was unloaded by Zhou Yi with his chest.
Then Zhou Yi stepped on the football at his feet, and he did not rush forward with the ball, which surprised many people.
Zhou Jianliang was very excited in the stands, after all, this was his son's first touch of the ball in this game, he got up from his seat and shouted: "Come on son!!"
Zhou Yi held the ball and didn't make any movement at all.
It was like a freeze, but to more people, his performance was more like his debut, and he didn't know what to do after getting the ball for the first time.
When he was stunned, the players of the blue team rushed up in a swarm, intending to make a steal and then play a counterattack directly.
The players on the red team began to run back, waving to Zhou Yi and shouting as they ran: "Pass!
Everyone hoped that Zhou Yi would be able to pass the football to him, but Zhou Yi did not do so.
In the face of the swarming red and blue crowd, he still didn't make any move.
It's like ...... Completely stupefied.
The fastest runner is the blue team's striker No. 9 Liu Yadong, he takes the lead, and his speed is also the fastest among the 23 people, and he has absolute confidence in his speed.
He believed that under his full throttle sprint, it would be absolutely impossible for the RED player who had just come on the field on the opposite side to react......
But just when he was about to rush in front of Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi suddenly turned around, and at the same time kicked the football backwards and passed it to the central defender in the back!
Liu Yadong didn't think about it so much, anyway, he only had football in his eyes, since the opponent passed the football back, then it would be good for him to continue to chase it, and under continuous pressure, the defenders of the red team would definitely make mistakes!
But just as he passed by Zhou Yi like the wind, he heard the kid shouting: "Pass the ball back!"
Out of the corner of his eye, Liu Yadong caught a glimpse of Zhou Yi quickly moving to the side after passing the ball, and at the same time pointing down at his feet with both hands, which meant asking his teammates to pass the ball to him.
However, Liu Yadong's speed was obviously faster than his brain's reaction, and Zhou Yi's figure quickly disappeared from the corner of his eye, and he didn't care about the significance of Zhou Yi's move, and still rushed towards the No. 5 central defender of the football and the red team at high speed.

Originally, when Li Haoran saw the football being suddenly passed by the substitute boy, his heart was broken-the other party chased so fiercely, you passed the football to me? Aren't you cheating on me!
For a moment he was a little overwhelmed, but this time he was really overwhelmed, but it didn't seem to be overwhelmed.
But just when he didn't know what to do, he heard the substitution who passed the ball to him suddenly shout, and at the same time ran towards the middle, just in time...... Moved out from behind Liu Yadong, he could see him clearly, and he didn't have to worry about being cut off by Liu Yadong when passing, because the two were not on the same line at all.
Seeing Zhou Yi's actions, Li Haoran hurriedly picked up his feet and kicked the football back to Zhou Yi directly.
As soon as he passed the football over, Liu Yadong pounced, stretched out his legs, and kicked it into the air!
Li Haoran got out of the predicament temporarily, but he created a problem for Zhou Yi.
That is, in order to ensure that the football is not cut off by Liu Yadong, Li Haoran's kick is very powerful and hurried, not like a pass, but like a clear siege and not kicked, the football is bouncing on the turf, rushing forward, and going straight to Zhou Yi.
It's not easy to stop such a "pass".
And if Zhou Yi doesn't stop well, then the blue team players who are rushing towards him from behind him are completely likely to directly break the ball and counterattack.
At this time, I saw Zhou Yi raise his right foot and directly stop the football that seemed to be difficult to stop, and then he did not stop, but immediately passed the football with his left foot and passed it to another central defender, Luo Wei, the fourth of the red team.
Just as he was passing the ball out, the BLU player came up from behind him, and of course he kicked it into the air.
But this scene made the people watching the game outside the stadium break out in a cold sweat - not to mention that he didn't receive the ball, even if Zhou Yi adjusted a little more when he stopped the ball, the ball might not be passed, and he would be stabbed directly from behind by the blue team players......
In the stands, the parents of the BLU players let out a loud sigh, regretting that the BLU team was not able to take advantage of the opportunity to make a tackle in front of the team.
Sitting on the rostrum, Hao Dong, who was originally a little bored, saw this scene, but his eyes flickered.
After passing the ball, Zhou Yi didn't seem to know that he had just escaped, and instead of paying attention to the blue team players beside him, he quickly ran to the side, and at the same time he shouted to his teammates: "Pass it to me!"
Everything is the same as it was just now.
Luo Wei naturally passed the football over, Zhou Yi, who was already on the side, received the ball, this time he didn't continue to pass the ball back, he received the ball, turned around, and saw the blue team's goal again and the people in the area inside and outside the penalty area, now there are much fewer than just now.
"Hey, it's kind of interesting......" Xiao Wang suddenly heard Hao Dong next to him chuckle so lightly.
