Chinese champion

Chapter 13 Entering the Quarterfinals
On the bus back to the station, it was eerily quiet.

Zhu Jun covered his head with a towel, and sweat was still dripping from his chin.

After the game just now, he lay directly on the lawn, and he didn't even have the strength to move. It was two substitutes who put him on the car.

He Jin broke the silence: "What's the matter? Isn't it usually quite noisy? Why is it so quiet today?"

Zhao Lin smiled bitterly: "Coach, we really don't have the mood to talk anymore."

He Jin suddenly became furious: "Everyone raise your head up!"

The voice was so loud that the team members raised their heads involuntarily, and He Jin continued to growl: "Look at you, what you look like now! Like a bunch of lost dogs! Do you feel ashamed? No, I don't think so! I don't think so! We are so proud of what you did on the field today!"

The misty eyes of the team members slowly gathered together, and He Jin continued: "Look at today's statistics, we shot eight times, six kicks hit the goal frame, and one goal was scored, while the Dalian team only had six shots. We hit the goal frame five times, what does that mean? It means that our offensive is still dominant! Who is our opponent? The defending champion! And we are a team that has been formed for less than half a year. Right? Yes, maybe most of the applause is for the winners, but we have won the respect of the Dalian team and the audience! This is much more important than the outcome of a game! Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is I don't know why I failed, the most important thing is how much you have learned in this game, Yao Le, next time you meet Dong Yuzhuo, what method will you use to deal with him?"

Yao Le raised his head: "I will make the most of my body and press forward before he starts. It should be better than this situation."

He Jin nodded and turned to Zhu Jun: "What about you?"

Zhu Jun took off the towel on his face: "I won't run away from him anymore, I will pay attention to saving energy and compete with him when I control the ball."

"Pei Wei, tell me."

Pei Wei lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head: "I haven't thought of it yet."

"Why? Didn't you get rid of him in the last stage?"

"It's just that my sprint speed is faster than him. He is too difficult to deal with when he is fully defending. It is difficult for me to even get the ball. His forward grabbing ability is too strong, but..." Pei Wei held Clenched his fists, his eyes flashed with determination: "There must be a way, but the answer must be found in the game."

"That's right." He Jin agreed: "There is no player in the world who can't get rid of. This failure may become a great wealth for your future growth. The Dalian team has already qualified in two games and two wins. Maybe compete with the Guangzhou team for No.2. Their game will be played in the afternoon. I have left coach Zhao to observe their game. What we have to do now is to go back and have a good rest, and wait for the game against Guangzhou tomorrow afternoon. We will play the game as a final!"

After returning to the station, all the team members chose to go back to the dormitory to rest after eating, and they were indeed too tired.

Before dinner, Lao Zhao came back.

He Jin went up to greet him: "How is it? How was the result of the Guangzhou match?"

Lao Zhao picked up the water glass on the table and drank it in one gulp, then said, "Guangzhou won 4:0, Shen Depeng had two assists and two goals."

He Jin frowned: "Then their goal difference is the same as ours? It seems that tomorrow will be a fierce battle. Whoever wins will be second."

the next day.

In the morning match, the Dalian team swept Jiangsu 5-0. Dong Yuzhuo started the game and performed a hat-trick. Zhang Feng and Yan Song scored the remaining two goals.

The Dalian team proved the strength of the previous champions with their outstanding performance of winning all three games.

In the afternoon, the match between Hubei and Guangzhou started.

He Jin formed a 4-4-2 formation, Zhao Junwei returned to the starting lineup, and Zhao Lin became a substitute.

After the contest with the Dalian team, the Hubei team not only did not sink, but through the contest with strong players, their strength has been greatly improved.

In the No.12 minute of the first half, Pei Wei passed two people in a row in the midfield and made a through ball. 's first goal.

No. In the 20th minute, Zhu Jun reciprocated. He broke through the opponent's defender with a series of wonderful feints on the left, inserted into the penalty area, and knocked back without greed. Pei Wei easily pushed and scored his goal in the three games. The third goal.

Shen Depeng was stared at by Han Xiu, unable to play his due role at all, and the occasional few breakthroughs were also destroyed by Yao Le's replacement.

No. 305 minutes, Pei Wei made a shot from outside the penalty area. The defender who had seen his shooting power rushed out to block the hole with his own body.

This is a score that makes the Guangzhou team desperate.

In the second half, He Jin replaced Zhu Jun and Pei Wei to prepare for the quarter-finals the day after tomorrow. The Guangzhou team rushed to catch up. Shen Depeng gradually adapted to Han Xiu's defense and became active, but most of his shots were blocked. Wu Qi's resolution was only to recover a point by Shen Depeng at the end of the game.

Everyone thought that this would be a life-and-death contest, but the Hubei team easily completed this task and entered the next stage of the competition as the No.2 team.

At the same time, news from other places revealed that the Guangzhou team came back from a desperate situation. Their last goal allowed them to overtake Foshan in the third group with a goal difference advantage, and they were the last to enter the round of [-].

One day later, the Hubei team, whose self-confidence had been fully restored, made persistent efforts in the quarter-finals, defeating the Qingdao team [-]-[-] cleanly. Pei Wei and Zhu Jun scored two goals and entered the quarter-finals!
The other seven teams are Dalian, Shanghai, BJ, Guangdong, Liaoning, Shandong and Sichuan.

The format of the quarter-finals is: Dalian vs. Shandong, BJ vs. Guangdong, Shanghai vs. Liaoning, Hubei vs. Sichuan.

Since the first year of football professionalization in 94, the Sichuan team has created a strong "yellow whirlwind" in Chinese football, winning the No. Still retaining the qualification of A-A, Sichuan is dangerous and the people are strong, and the people of Sichuan have a strong spirit, which is exactly what they are on the football field. The unyielding spirit revealed made them succeed in relegation in the end.

The strength of the Sichuan Youth Team is not particularly outstanding, but they dare to fight and fight, and they are full of momentum. They won consecutive victories against Foshan and Hunan in the group stage, and only lost one goal to Shanghai. They pulled down the talented Bayi team in one go. Their top scorer is forward No. 10 Zhanfeng, who is 1.8 meters five and three centimeters taller than Wu Qi. He is the tallest player in this competition. Well, the entire Sichuan team's offense is centered around him. He has scored five goals and tied for the top scorer list with Dalian's Dong Yuzhuo. It was his two goals that defeated Bayi, and the others Although there is nothing outstanding about the players, they cooperate very well with him and defend very tenaciously. It is a very good team.

He Jin's head hurts.

Tomorrow afternoon, they will face Sichuan. Although reaching the quarterfinals has already exceeded the instructions given by the club, how could the ambitious He Jin only be willing to advance to this step?

There is no need to worry about offense. After easily scoring two goals for the Qingdao team, which is known for its excellent defensive ability, he has no doubts about the team's attack power.

Although He Wei and Li Tong are not very strong in offensive power, He Wei's grabbing points and Li Tong's speed are quite distinctive, and the cooperation between Pei Wei and Zhu Jun in the midfield is becoming more and more tacit, and it is even more important to combine the two. The attack power was brought into full play.

The problem is defense.

Liu Jun is 1.7 meters five, Yao Le is 1.7 meters one, this height is enough to deal with other teams, but facing the 1.8 meters five, the difference is too big!
Even Shanghai's defense line, which can be called the number one in the country, failed to completely control Zhan Feng, and still allowed him to score a goal, not to mention that his defense line can only be regarded as a second-rate defense line!
There is no other way, Zhanfeng will be handed over to Yao Le. Although there is a difference of nearly [-] centimeters in height, Yao Le has improved a lot through the match against Dalian. As long as Zhanfeng is not allowed to get too close to the penalty area, Wu Qi There should be a way!
The key to this game is not the defense, which cannot be defended. Zhanfeng's scoring ability is outstanding in the youth team, but Sichuan's relatively weak defense still gave a way.

Fight against attack!If you score one, I will score two. As long as I score more goals than you, I will win!

Meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
