There is a team called the Friendship Team

Chapter 133 The Football Association Cup Qualification Tournament Begins!
The next day, in the morning.

The players of the Friendship Team had just had breakfast when Shi Jie and Quan Weilong immediately announced the punishment for Sheng and Xiao Xiao-the team suspended for one round.

In fact, these two players have made great progress during winter training...

As a central defender, Yu Sheng has outstanding physical condition and a certain ability to play the ball. He is a "modern" central defender. This season, he has received special attention from Shi Jie and Quan Weilong, and he has become the absolute main force of the team; Xiao Xiao's long and short passes are accurate, his basic skills are very good, and his physical strength is extraordinary. He is known as the "Superman with Three Lungs" in the team. He has also been positioned as the main rotation player of the team by Shi Jie and Quan Weilong.

The absence of these two players has compromised the strength of the Friendship Team to a certain extent.

Moreover, the heavy punishment of the main player before the game also had a certain impact on the morale of the team, and the atmosphere in the team was a bit depressing...

in the afternoon.

Jiangsu Taizhou Sansheng Club Football Stadium.

Before the game, the organizers of the Football Association Cup and the staff of the Football Association checked the registration materials and credentials of the two teams, especially to verify the identity of the players.

After the inspection, the two teams entered the field.

"Shi Jie!" A voice shouted.

Shi Jie turned his head and looked, it was Ge Wei, the high center forward of Taizhou Sansheng Team!

Shi Jie had played against Ge Wei many times when he was a player, and both of them were deeply impressed by each other and cherished each other.

The two approached.

Ge Wei asked first: "Shi Jie, I haven't heard from you for a long time. So you are still playing football?"

"I'm still playing. I retired for a while, and now I'm a player and coach... There should be a chance to play against each other later, you have to give me a break! Hahaha!" Shi Jie laughed.

"Oh... so you are the coach of the Friendship Team. You are really good, and the Friendship Team is very famous now! Let's work hard together when we meet again later!" Ge Wei said bluntly.

Ge Wei is an "old-school" player. Although he has a mobile phone, he almost never surfs the Internet. His only hobby is collecting and tasting tea. He lives a healthy and elegant life, which is why he can always maintain a high The mystery of the horizontal state of motion.

And he learned about the Friendship Team, partly from his teammates and coaches, and partly from tea friends!
In the information age, the reputation of the Friendship Team became very famous.

"Where, where. We have to work hard together..." After Shi Jie finished speaking, he and Ge Wei gave a friendly hug, and then went back to the team.

After seeing Ge Wei, Shi Jie's face became serious, and as soon as he walked back to the team's bench, he began to announce the team's starting lineup for the game:

Forward: Zhang Chao;
Midfielders: Amber, Zeng Wubin, Xu Songjiang, Chen Jiexi;

Guards: Guo Jiafan, Zhao Baiyan, Wei Zhengxian, Chu Tiankuo, Chen Ke;
Goalkeeper: Liu Yiao.

Then, Shi Jie "long-winded" told each player what needs to be paid attention to in the position. Shi Jie had repeatedly emphasized these many times when preparing for the game before, and now he is completely repeating it...

This is the first time for the players to see Coach Shi Jie like this, and everyone can feel his attention and tension from the bottom of their hearts...

The staff came over to indicate that they could enter the game.

The whole team of the Friendship Team formed a circle, and everyone put their hands on each other and shouted encouragingly: "We must win!"

Then, the starters from both teams walked onto the court.

For the Taizhou Sansheng team, high center forward Ge Wei undoubtedly appeared in the starting lineup!

In addition, the starting lineup of the Taizhou Sansheng team has several players with extraordinary qualifications, former Jiangsu FC midfielder Zhang Xinlin, central defender Liu Wei, former Shanghai Shenhua team central defender Li Xiaoming...

Amber and Liu Yiao are "old fans" who have followed the Chinese Super League since they were young. When they saw that their opponents were actually the "old faces" of these former Chinese Super League players, they were overjoyed!
sidelines.

Shi Jie was watching the field, Quan Weilong pulled Shi Jie, and said: "Ajie, look at the coach of Taizhou Sansheng team, is it Zhu Jiong?"

"What?" When Shi Jie heard Quan Weilong's words, he looked from afar and saw the figure of the opponent's coach—it seemed to be Zhu Jiong!
"How could it be him?! The Taizhou Sansheng team has changed coaches? We don't know! Will the style of play change?" Shi Jie murmured.

At this time, Zhu Jiong seemed to feel that someone was looking at him, and he also glanced at the side of the Friendship Team's bench, facing Shi Jie and Quan Weilong far away...

Shi Jie and Quan Weilong walked over to shake hands with Zhu Jiong out of politeness.

Zhu Jiong is a Shanghai-style football coach. He advocates short-pass penetration and technical-flow offensive methods. He and Shi Jie haven't had much contact with each other before. The relationship between the two just stays at the level of hearing about each other.

"Coach Zhu Jiong? I have admired you for a long time..." Shi Jie and Quan Weilong complimented.

"Coach Shi, Coach Quan, I have also admired their names for a long time. I hope that both sides can play their best today and play a high-quality game!" Zhu Jiong said.

"Yes! Definitely." Shi Jie and Quan Weilong replied.

The three of them said a few polite words in embarrassment, and each returned to the team's bench.

Shi Jie whispered to Quan Weilong: "The coach Zhu Jiong is not ordinary. I admire his coaching style very much. We have to be careful..."

"Hmm..." Quan Weilong nodded.

Back on the field.

Zhang Xinlin and Amber, the captains of both sides, have finished choosing sides.

The Friendship team took the lead in the first half.

After the captains of both sides shook hands, they returned to their positions and stood up.

The players are waiting for the opening whistle.

The referee adjusted the time on the watch...

"Shut up!"

With the whistle of the referee, the first half of the game began!
Team of Friendship kicks off.

Center Zhang Chao passed back to midfielder Zeng Wubin.

Zeng Wubin took the ball, and Zhang Xinlin, captain of the Taizhou Sansheng team, came to press for it.

Zeng Wubin seemed unprepared, and parted sides in a little panic——

The through ball from the split side was intercepted by Ge Wei!

Ge Wei holds the ball, and Amber quickly presses up.

Ge Wei used his body to protect the ball, and it was difficult for Amber to have a chance to grab the ball.

"Well, Ge Wei is very big, so it is very convenient to protect the ball, but he is only a fulcrum, we must cut off his connection with others..." Shi Jie thought from the sidelines.

Sure enough, Ge Wei leaned against Amber with his body, waiting for his teammates to advance.

Zhang Xinlin, the captain of Taizhou Sansheng Team, stepped forward to respond, and Ge Wei wanted to pass through——

Amber quickly extended her foot and poked the ball to teammate Zeng Wubin.

Zeng Wubin didn't stop the ball and passed the ball to forward Zhang Chao!
Zhang Chao received the ball with his back to the goal of Taizhou Sansheng.

Taizhou Sansheng team defender Liu Wei is close to Zhang Chao.

The moment the football rolled in front of Zhang Chao——

Zhang Chao turned around suddenly, and the ball was passed!
"What?!" Liu Wei was surprised, and wanted to turn around and pull Zhang Chao, but it was too late, Zhang Chao's speed had already picked up!

"Huh? The striker of the Friendship Team is very capable, which can be seen simply by handling the ball one or two times..." Coach Zhu Jiong commented on Zhang Chao on the bench of the Taizhou Sansheng Team.

Zhang Chao turned around, got the ball and was already facing the goal, and suddenly swung his legs——

"What? You want to hit the goal! No way!" Li Xiaoming, another central defender of Taizhou Sansheng, stepped forward to block it.

Zhang Chao made a fake shot and made a real dunk, shaking off Li Xiaoming's block!
However, Zhang Chao was a little slow in the connection of the second move, and the Taizhou Sansheng team player who had been defended back stretched out his foot and poked the ball away.

Zhang Chao fought back on the spot.

The players of the Taizhou Sansheng team spread their feet and passed the ball three times and two times. Zhang Chao stopped fighting needlessly and conserved his energy.

Just as Zhang Chao stopped fighting, Taizhou Sansheng's central defender Li Xiaoming suddenly sent a long pass to high center forward Ge Wei!

Ge Wei and Chu Tiankuo are wrestling physically.

The young Chu Tiankuo was naturally no match for the "veteran" Ge Wei, and was tightly squeezed behind him.

Ge Wei hit the ball with a header——

Point to Zhang Xinlin, the captain who went forward, and Zhang Xinlin greeted him with a long shot——

Liu Yiao, the goalkeeper of the Friendship Team, was very focused and caught the ball firmly.

The game has just started, and Zhang Xinlin's long shot is just a trial of "knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger" by the Taizhou Sansheng team.

Next, is the real game...
