Chapter 14: Survive the First Round
Quancheng's first match on Saturday was held at the No. 1 training ground of the Taishan Training Base.
This is the venue where the Taishan Reserve Team plays the Reserve League, the turf is completely Chinese Super League level, and there is a stand on one side of the field.
The condition of the field is nothing compared to the mass soccer field where Springs trains on Saturdays, and it is simply the difference between diamonds and dirt.
The players of Quancheng Saturday stepped on this field, like wild dogs scattering joy, and the state displayed on the top of their heads was all red, and their bodies seemed to have endless energy.
It's no wonder that a person who eats green onion dipping sauce for a lifetime and occasionally eats a meal of sea cucumber and abalone, can he not open his belly and burst into combat power?
It's just that now there are only referees and organizing committee staff on the court, except for the players of Quancheng Saturday, and their opponents do not appear on the court.
Quancheng's opponent in the first round on Saturday was Qinggang Yuanhua.
This team is also a well-known strong team in the amateur football circle of Ludong Province. There are many players eliminated by professional teams in the team, and they are very strong, and they are regarded as one of the favorites to win the championship in the Ludong Division.
Most of the amateur teams registered in the Ludong Division are from the provincial capital or several nearby cities. Qinggang is nearly 400 kilometers away from the provincial capital, and running so far to participate in the competition shows that they are very strong and confident.
30 minutes before the start of the game, Qinggang Yuanhua did not appear on the field.
There were a few fans in the stands, as well as coaches and players from other teams who came to watch the game.
"Qinggang Yuanhua is really a big name! The old strong team has a foundation! The finale! ”
"Quancheng Saturday is definitely not good, come so early, look at it is a group of earth leopards who have never seen the world, no confidence!"
There are still 20 minutes left before the start of the game, and Qingdao Yuanhua has not yet played.
"Qinggang Yuanhua has determination! Immovable as a mountain! Strategically defy your opponents! ”
"This estimate is Qinggang Yuanhua's strategy, deliberately making Quancheng suspicious on Saturday! This is psychological warfare that people play! ”
There are still 10 minutes left before the start of the game, and Qinggang Yuanhua has not yet played.
"That's a bit too much, isn't it?"
"Don't worry, for a team that is absolutely overwhelming, it's the same whether it's hot or not. Didn't you watch the protagonists in the movie all appear in the end when they step on the moment of life and death? Maybe that's what people are after! ”
It's time for the game to start. Qinggang Yuanhua still doesn't even have a shadow.
“…………”
The game has been more than 10 minutes, and Qinggang Yuanhua has not yet come.
"Is this Nima out of the race?!"
After 15 minutes of the original game time, Qinggang Yuanhua never appeared. According to the regulations, the organizing committee sentenced Qinggang Yuanhua to abstain. The score counts as 0:3!
Quancheng Saturday survived the first round without blood!
After the race, some good people asked the organizing committee about the reason for the incident.
It turned out that the bus of Qinggang Yuanhua encountered a big traffic jam after entering the provincial capital, and the foreign drivers were not familiar with the road conditions.
Quancheng Saturday successfully advanced to the next round thanks to the poor traffic conditions in the provincial capital!
The tournament format was one day at a time, and in the second round Takato learned his lesson and came on a bicycle. but
At the gate, was stopped.
It was an old acquaintance who stopped him - Uncle Security!
The security guard still remembers Gao Yuan, "Yo, young man, you really joined the football team!" ”
"Hey, hey, fooling around in the amateur team!"
"I haven't seen you for a few days, I see that you have darkened a lot and grown a lot! It's hard work in the team! ”
During this time, Gao Yuan was not only a farmer leveling the site, but also a porter carrying equipment, which objectively played a fitness effect, coupled with the battle of wits and courage with Lao Wang, his temperament was sublimated.
It seems that he has changed from the previous otaku waste wood to a sturdy and tall young man.
"It's okay! I can't be idle every day! Gao Yuan replied casually.
He used to be idle every day, but after grabbing Lao Wang's handle, he panicked every day.
"Which team are you? O, Springs Saturday! The security guard saw the name of the team on the badge on Gao Yuan's chest.
"How's your play?"
"Very good! Yesterday I was promoted, and it was a strong team that was eliminated! ”
When Gao Yuan said this, his face was a little red, the promotion was promoted, and the eliminated team was indeed a strong team, but the game was not played at all.
Uncle Security now likes this persistent young man a little bit.
He's been here for a long time, he's seen so many young people coming in and out, players and club staff, they're either from a lot of money, they're from a lot of backgrounds, some of them are very skilled, some of them are highly educated, they're all great people. Compared with them, the young man in front of him does not seem to be outstanding in all aspects, but in just two contacts, people can clearly feel his love and dedication to football.
This original intention has been in many people but has disappeared, I hope that this young man in front of him can maintain this enthusiasm and perseverance for a long time.
The security guard patted Gao Yuan's shoulder and praised, "Kick it well!" I wish you all the best! ”
Gao Yuan grinned, embarrassed to answer.
Yesterday's promotion was purely shit luck, and the same piece of shit can't be stepped on a second time!
If this opponent abstains because he is late in a traffic jam, then everyone should stop playing football and buy lottery tickets collectively and wait to win the jackpot!
The opponent in the second round is an amateur team in the provincial capital, which is also well-known in the eastern suburbs of the city, called the Eastern Suburbs 87 United.
As the name suggests, the team was founded in 1987, which is longer than the history of the professional club of the Tarzan team.
The team has a long history and glorious traditions, and one of the strictest traditions is that their coaches and players have never changed since the team was founded!
All the team members have changed from young people at the beginning of the establishment of the team to middle-aged and elderly people in their forties and fifties. Everyone has gone through ups and downs together and spent more than half of their lives together.
There are pros and cons to everything, and the Eastern Suburbs 87 United have always adhered to their glorious tradition, and the team has been running together for more than 30 years, and I am afraid that they are more familiar with each other than any team in the world, and they know where their teammates are when they close their eyes on the field.
The familiarity with his teammates is comparable to that of his wife, not to mention the technical characteristics and running habits, even if they sleep and love to snore and fart, they are also clear.
However, the disadvantages are also obvious, the years are urging people to get old, as a middle-aged and elderly football team, there are really shortcomings in physical fitness. Especially in recent years, this group of old arms and legs has become more and more disobedient, coupled with the general lack of calcium in middle-aged and elderly people, everyone has a hard time going upstairs, and it is even more difficult to play football.
The Eastern Suburbs 87 United just went through a fierce battle yesterday, did not decide the winner in 90 minutes, and played 30 minutes of extra time, and finally eliminated a college student team through a penalty shootout.
If it was placed 3 or 4 years ago, the Eastern Suburbs 87 Lian could easily kill this group of little hairy cubs in seconds. In fact, they took the initiative in the first 30 minutes, leading 2-0, but the huge physical disadvantage tormented the old men for the rest of the game.
In the end, the players on the field took turns cramping, and two of them were almost sent to the hospital.
Gao Yuan stood on the side of the court and looked out, only to see that almost all the players of the 87 United in the eastern suburbs today were facing down, and the physical status bar was even more miserable, uneven, and none of them were full.
There may be drama in today's game!
