Green giants

After finishing home, Li Tianxiang couldn't wait for the upcoming game.Professional competition is exactly what he dreamed of. In the first round of the new season, the Liaoning team will play against the Xinjiang team at home.

Watching football games since childhood, going to football school to practice, self-training after leaving football school, and giving up the local university after the college entrance examination to come to Baiye training base, all are for this ultimate goal, and now it is about to be achieved, let alone how excited .

"Dad," Li Tianxiang dialed the video call. "We have a game on Saturday."

"Well, I will definitely watch it on time," Li Guiyun was very happy to see his excited son on the screen. "Son, don't be nervous then."

"It's okay, it's a small scene." Li Tianxiang smiled. "I've been waiting for a long time."

"By the way, you can play at that time, and let your mother see you if possible." Li Guiyun said. "Your mother wouldn't watch the game without you."

"Um, no problem, the coach told me to prepare well." Li Tianxiang patted his chest, full of confidence. "The list of starters has not been announced yet, but even if I am not the starter, I am confident that I will become the starter through the game. Don't worry."

"Good job, that's the way it is, hahaha." Li Guiyun was relieved seeing his son's confidence.Before, I was worried that my son would not be able to take the blow if he couldn't make it to the stage. Looking at it this way, the brat is in a good state of mind.

"By the way, don't tell grandpa." Li Tianxiang warned.

"Don't worry, I don't have the guts to tell the old man that you've gone to play football." Li Guiyun would have a headache whenever he thought of the old man, and if he knew that his grandson had gone to play football, he wouldn't scold himself to death.

"Ha, dad, don't worry, if we don't tell, grandpa won't know anything." Li Tianxiang said.

"It should be, then wait for your wonderful performance." Li Guiyun encouraged.

"Well, when I make my debut, I'll blind the audience, hahaha." Li Tianxiang was very excited when he thought of himself making a big splash in the Chinese Premier League.

"Hahaha, keep this momentum."

"OK."

"Should I tell Xiaoyan?" Li Tianxiang thought. "Let's talk to her after scoring the goal."

Thinking of Xu Xiaoyan, Li Tianxiang immediately felt warm in his heart, yes, for Xu Xiaoyan, he must work hard.

Today is the day of the first round.

The day before the game, head coach Chen Yang announced the squad for the home game against the Xinjiang team.

Unsurprisingly, both Li Tianxiang and Wu Jin were selected for this big list.Of course, Yang Shuai and Zhang Boyuan, who are the hopes of Liaozu, are also on the big list.The foreign aid is Alisa and Mu Lunjia, and the veteran James is still recovering. Chen Yang did not put him in the squad this time.

Of course, the starting lineup has not been announced. If there is no accident, Li Tianxiang should be in the starting lineup. After all, he left a deep impression on his teammates during the training camp.Li Tianxiang ranks first in this Liaoning team in terms of independent offensive ability.

But where it is, I don't know yet.In practice, Chen Yang let Li Tianxiang play many positions.Single striker, second striker, right winger, right forward, and even a front midfielder.

It can be seen that Chen Yang attaches great importance to Li Tianxiang and wants him to appear in the most suitable position for him to play.Li Tianxiang himself is also competitive, playing well in every position.

This also created a problem for Chen Yang, but it is a good thing to have such a comprehensive player, who can not only enrich his own tactics, but also deal with emergencies on the field.

As for Wu Jin, the situation is not so optimistic. Ever since Xiongfei transferred, Chen Yang has established a midfield combination of Zhang Ying, Xiongfei, Lei Yongchi and Zhang Ye. According to the current situation, Wu Jin is expected to be a substitute.

Li Tianxiang has also been encouraging Wu Jin, hoping that Wu Jin can win the main position through hard work.

Li Tianxiang came to Tiexi Stadium by bicycle. In the new season, this will be the home court of Liaozu.

Li Tianxiang had never participated in this level of competition before, but when he arrived at Tiexi Stadium today, he felt that there were really many people.

As a traditional football powerhouse, Liaoning had two giants in Liaoning and Dalian in the old A-A era.That era was accompanied by the two cities of Shenyang and Dalian. The Liaoning team and the Dalian team were the most popular derbies in China. In the era when the Dalian team won consecutive championships, the Liaoning team was their most difficult opponent.

However, entering the new era of the Chinese Super League, with the rise of new forces led by Guangzhou Evergrande and Shanghai SIPG, China's professional football has entered a money-burning mode.The economically difficult Northeast region also began to struggle in the Jinyuan football era. The withdrawal of the wealthy Wanda made Dalian football the first to fall into a dire situation. It turned out that Dalian football won the eighth championship trophy in China's top league. brilliant.

After leaving the Chinese Super League for many years, Dalian Yifang swept the Chinese Premier League last year and returned to the Chinese Super League. Just when people thought that the popular Liaoning Derby would be staged again, they missed it again dramatically. This time, the Liaoning team missed the appointment.Liaozu also struggled for many years and finally fell into the first division.

But this does not mean that Liaozu lacks supporters. Liao Xiaohu, who was full of vitality back then, influenced a generation and also accumulated a large number of fans for Liaozu.Although it has been relegated to the first division, judging from the pre-season media reports, Liaozu is still very popular.

This time, the opponent, the Xinjiang team, has been playing in the First Division all year round, and their strength is not strong.

Although the Liaoning team lost some of their main players at the beginning of the season, they undoubtedly have an advantage in overall strength. In addition to playing at home, the probability of winning the game is very high.

What makes the players more concerned is the starting list of the game.

In the locker room, Li Tianxiang and Wu Jin sat together, waiting for the list to be announced.

Although the list has been decided long ago, everyone was still a little nervous before Chen Yang announced it.

Chen Yang didn't say much, took the list and started to announce it.

There are not many unexpected changes, the goalkeeper is Shi Xiaotian.

The back line consists of Alisa, Yang Shuai and Russell.

In the midfield, Zhang Ye and Zhang Ying formed the double defensive midfielders; Lei Yongchi and Li Tianxiang were drawn to the two wings to serve as the left and right midfielders; and the front midfielder was Xiongfei.

The forward line consists of Mu Lunjia and Zhang Boyuan.

Chen Yang lined up a 352 formation to basically line up all his attackers, which shows Chen Yang's determination to win the game at home.

Li Tianxiang clenched his fists when he heard his name, but he was not surprised, after all, his performance was very convincing.

He is more concerned about his best friend Wu Jin.

Wu Jin happily patted Li Tianxiang's thigh after hearing that Li Tianxiang had entered the starting lineup.

When Chen Yang pronounced Xiongfei's name, Wu Jin was still a little disappointed. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still a little disappointed when this moment came.

For a moment, Wu Jin was in a daze.Li Tianxiang also found that his active buddy had quieted down for a moment.

After Chen Yang finished reading the list, he put the paper away and described the tactics of the game, mainly to let the team pay attention to controlling the midfield, play two wings, and use the forward's physical advantage to gain an advantage in the game.At the same time, keep the attention of those who have not entered the starting lineup, and they may have a chance to play at any time.

At this point, Wu Jin came to his senses, yes, he still has a chance.

Seeing this, Li Tianxiang breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Wu Jin didn't need to comfort himself.

The stands of Tiexi Stadium were already crowded with people.The atmosphere on the court reached a climax as the names of the starters began to be read on the stadium broadcast.

The new season of the Chinese League One has started.
