Chapter 68: Self-Confidence

The 433 annual Famous Sword Martial Arts Competition officially kicked off, with 64 players fighting each other, and the winner advanced.

After the first day of competition, Xia Lingchong and Qi Minghao and other favorites lived up to expectations, defeating their respective opponents by big scores to advance to the top 32. To everyone's surprise, on the promotion list posted in front of the Famous Sword Pavilion, the name of "Su Xiaoyang" was written impressively.

Su Xiaoyang, who is regarded as the most "rookie" in the entire 433 team, unexpectedly defeated Fan Yun, a veteran who has been in 433 for four consecutive years, participated in three famous sword competitions, and has rich competition experience.

When everyone knew that Su Xiaoyang was lucky to win only by relying on Fan Yun's extremely low-level mistake, everyone was laughing at Fan Yun, and at the same time regretting that they couldn't be in the same group as Su Xiaoyang. Especially those players who were eliminated in the first round, in their opinion, if it was themselves who were separated from Su Xiaoyang at that time, then they would never say goodbye to this year's famous sword and martial arts so soon.

While they regretted that Fan Yun wasted an excellent group place, they all ignored the question of why Fan Yun was dizzy and why he made such a low-level mistake.

In fact, the answer to this question is very simple, an experienced veteran like him can only make such a fatal mistake when he is under extreme pressure.

And this pressure comes precisely from his opponent, Su Xiaoyang, who is regarded as a "rookie" by everyone.

The first day of the competition is over, and unlike previous years, everyone's topic is no longer who will win the championship in the end and who can enter the top three, but who will be in the same group as Su Xiaoyang in the next round.

Because the matchup table was arranged before the game, Su Xiaoyang's opponent in the second round had also been determined after the first round. A person named Han Dawei has become the lucky one in everyone's eyes, in everyone's opinion, the match between Han Dawei and Su Xiaoyang means that the former has won a place in the top 16 in advance.

Even Han Dawei himself was elated as if he had won the lottery. You must know that his best result in participating in the famous sword martial arts before was to reach the top 32, and this time he had a good opportunity to be in a group with Su Xiaoyang, and he would definitely refresh his ranking record.

People don't seem to be paying attention to Xia Lingchong and Qi Minghao anymore, as they are sure to finish in the top four anyway. Everyone would rather spend more time teasing Su Xiaoyang, after all, it is also very refreshing to watch a person being "ravaged".

Su Xiaoyang VS Han Dawei

It is believed that on the second day of the competition, this entertaining duel will attract more attention.

......

At dinnertime, Su Xiaoyang came out of the "Wolong" building and rushed straight to Juyouzhai to meet Qi Minghao, where the proprietress Furong and Nameless had already booked a single room, ready to celebrate the first victory of Su Xiaoyang's career.

Just as he was on his way to Juyouzhai, Su Xiaoyang saw the opponent he had just lost to himself, Fan Yun. He was walking this way with his head bowed alone, looking lost and depressed. Behind him, a few people were catching up quickly, laughing and saying something, and then they saw Fan Yun blushing like a monkey's butt and continuing to walk without saying a word.

Those people were obviously laughing at him for not even being able to handle a rookie like Su Xiaoyang, and Su Xiaoyang had already recognized that they were the so-called "friends" around Fan Yun yesterday, at that moment, Su Xiaoyang suddenly felt that Fan Yun was a little pitiful, once upon a time, didn't he also have the same situation as him?

Fan Yun walked over with his head down, and when he passed by Su Xiaoyang, he couldn't help but glance up at Su Xiaoyang, Su Xiaoyang wanted to say something, but Fan Yun pursed his lips and left with a complicated expression.

Su Xiaoyang looked at his back and shook his head slightly.

In the single room of Juyouzhai, Nameless and Qi Minghao were laughing with each other, and when they saw Su Xiaoyang coming in, they complained: "Winning a game and playing a big name?

Su Xiaoyang smiled embarrassedly and said, "What's the matter, I just summarized today's game in the dormitory, hey, what about Sister Furong?"

As soon as the words fell, Fleur walked in with a pot of pork ribs and said with a smile, "I'm going to prepare dinner for everyone." ”

Nameless said: "Stinky boy, even if you have a good mouth, you want my wife to cook herself." ”

Fleur pushed him and said a little shyly, "you, who's your wife?"

Although their flirting was quite funny, it made Su Xiaoyang feel very warm at the moment, and said with a smile: "Ming Hao and I are waiting for your wedding wine!"

Fleur smiled embarrassedly, "You guys talk first, I'll go get a few dishes." ”

After saying that, he retreated, and shouted namelessly: "Don't make too much, save costs!"

Qi Minghao said with disdain: "You are not married yet, do you, how do you feel that you are like the boss here now?"

Nameless said angrily: "If you want me to say, it's good to serve you two stinky boys and bring a few plates of pickles!"

Qi Minghao glanced at him, and then turned to Su Xiaoyang and said, "It's a pity that I couldn't congratulate you on your promotion today~ Haha, but I said that you must have no problem!"

Su Xiaoyang touched his head and said embarrassedly: "Today...... I'm so lucky, I don't know what tomorrow will bring!"

Nameless said contemptuously: "I will be eliminated tomorrow, do you still need to guess this? Come on, even if I comfort you today!"

He raised his wine glass as he spoke, but Qi Minghao glared at him and said, "You are really a crow's mouth! Xiaoyang, you will definitely be able to do it in tomorrow's game! That one named Han Dawei is not very powerful, the only thing you need to pay attention to is his corner kick." ”

Xiao Yang nodded and said, "Anyway, I will definitely do my best tomorrow!"

Nameless said, "If you can win, the sun will come out of the west." ”

Su Xiaoyang smiled, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Nameless and Qi Minghao respectively, and everyone drank it all.

Su Xiaoyang didn't seem to be so happy for a long time. Although everyone still quarrels from time to time, the smile is always on everyone's face.

Such a scene will never exceed three times in Su Xiaoyang's life memory.

For a lonely person, there is nothing more precious than a friend!

After the banquet was dismissed, Qi Minghao instructed Su Xiaoyang inarticulately: "Remember...... Remember to block the man's corner, that was his only killer ......"

Su Xiaoyang was about to say something, but Nameless walked up to him leisurely, and said half-drunk and half-conscious: "Corner kicks count...... What is the advantage? You are the most important thing to prevent corner kicks...... Do you know what it is?"

Su Xiaoyang replied: "It's to grab the point! As long as you grab the first landing point, there will be no problem." ”

At this time, Fleur had already come out, and she helped Nameless and said, "Seeing that you are drunk like this, what are you talking about?" ”

Fleur had just helped him out a few steps, when Nameless suddenly paused and turned back and said:

"The most important thing to prevent corners is,...... It is...... I just don't give him a corner kick at all......"

Su Xiaoyang looked at their backs as they gradually moved away, and nodded thoughtfully.

......

The next morning, the second round of the Sword Tournament continued. After yesterday's battle, half of the 64 players have been eliminated. The remaining thirty-two men were divided into sixteen groups to fight each other.

Because half of the players have been eliminated, there are a lot more spectators today than on the first day. As expected, there were significantly more viewers who came to watch the "Battle of Impotence".

Su Xiaoyang's competition venue was still yesterday's No. 3 trial ground. He looked at the obscure blood red in his hand, took a deep breath, and pushed the door in.

The originally noisy venue suddenly quieted down, Han Dawei and many team members were already in place, and everyone began to shout when they saw the arrival of the other protagonist of the "Battle of Impotence", and some even began to whistle.

For Su Xiaoyang, today's game was even more difficult, because Nameless and Furong were in trouble, and Qi Minghao was also competing, so no one came to cheer him on.

At this moment, he was alone, facing everyone.

Hasn't it always been like this?Su Xiaoyang smiled bitterly in his heart, and resolutely walked over to meet everyone's mocking eyes.

His opponent, Han Dawei, was also looking at him with a smile, as if there was no suspense about the outcome of this match.

The second official match of Su Xiaoyang's career kicked off amid the mocking gazes of those around him.

Han Dawei used the England team, and when Su Xiaoyang selected the Chinese team, there was a burst of laughter, and even the referee couldn't help asking: "Did you choose the wrong team?"

Before Su Xiaoyang could speak, someone around him shouted, "He was the Brazil of Fan Yun who was eliminated by the Chinese team yesterday!"

Su Xiaoyang still didn't speak, and the referee had to announce the start of the game.

It won't seem like a fair game to anyone, but sometimes, miracles are born in the unthinkable.

is the same as Qi Minghao said, this Han Dawei really has no characteristics. There was no threat in the offense, and the defense was full of holes. Fan Yun in the first game yesterday at least had a speed advantage, using speed to constantly attack, but today's Han Dawei is a typical opportunist.

Take a long-range shot when you have a chance, pass slowly or defend at the back when you don't have a chance. Even the defense seems to be full of flaws.

After a few rounds of offense and defense, Su Xiaoyang suddenly had confidence. In the midfield confrontation, Zheng Zhi and Zhou Haibin's leading midfielders can even be equal to the world-class midfielders of Lampard and Gerrard, and sometimes they can even win slightly.

This is the first time in the competition, Su Xiaoyang suddenly has the confidence to win.

It turns out that the opponent is nothing more than that!

If a person wants to win in a game, he must have enough self-confidence. But self-confidence is actually a double-edged sword, on the one hand, it can make you full of fighting spirit and belief in victory, on the other hand, it may also cause your own negligence and carelessness in a certain detail.

For Su Xiaoyang, he has always lived in inferiority, and he suddenly gained confidence like today's game, and he was a little overwhelmed.

In fact, Su Xiaoyang has had many excellent opportunities to score in the game, but none of them can be grasped, which also shows from one side that he is currently being swayed by his own self-confidence, and he can't turn this confidence into an advantage in the game.

Of course, for a game that is bound to be won or lost, when you can't go further, that is, when you can't score, because you have the advantage, this makes Su Xiaoyang impatient to a certain extent.

Impatience, on the other hand, is often a precursor to failure.

On the other hand, his opponent Han Dawei, although he has no characteristics in attack and defense, has been steadily waiting for Su Xiaoyang to make a mistake.

His wait didn't last long, as the novice Su Xiaoyang quickly made a fatal mistake.

When Wright Phillips galloped around the wing with the speed of the wind, the only thing the Chinese team could do was to hold the inside line and prevent the opponent from cutting inside.

But Su Xiaoyang may be too confident, he actually controlled Sun Xiang to break the ball.

You must know that although Han Dawei's strength is not strong, he must have his own unique characteristics to be able to become a member of 433. Even Qi Minghao did not fully explain this characteristic. He only said that the opponent's corner kick was powerful, but in fact, the corner kick was just a tactical result, and the tactical means was to attack from the wing.

So when Sun Xiang rushed up, Han Dawei smiled, and Xiao Wright easily shook off Sun Xiang with a disguised inward cut, Su Xiaoyang secretly exclaimed that it was not good, but fortunately, Li Weifeng, who was making up the defense, cleared the ball out of the bottom line in time.

Su Xiaoyang breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't realize that he had forgotten what Nameless said to him last night.

"The most important thing to prevent corners is,...... It is...... I just don't give him a corner kick at all......"

The moment the linesman raised the flag, Han Dawei knew that his opportunity had finally come!

David Beckham, the only handsome man on the planet to hit the world with a free kick, stood in the tee box for a corner. For Han Dawei, this handsome English guy is his killer feature.

With a chic shell-style arc, a wonderful full moon scimitar, excellent strength, angle, and arc, Beckham lived up to Han Dawei's high expectations, and he completed the task of a fatal pass. Then I saw Ferdinand, who jumped high in the penalty area, scored with a header like Mount Tai, and at the same time, Su Xiaoyang watched in amazement as his Li Weifeng and Feng Xiaoting were squeezed away by the strong Englishman, looking at the ball and sighing.

1 to 0!

England is ahead of the Chinese team, and Han Dawei is ahead of Su Xiaoyang!
