There is a team called the Friendship Team

Chapter 176
Players of Friendship Team and Zhongneng Team B are warming up before the match...

The organizers of the Chinese Champions League went to the sidelines and informed the players of the two teams that they could enter the field.

Li Weifeng announced the team's starting lineup:

Forwards: Amber, Zhang Chao, Xu Mingdong;

Midfielders: Xu Songjiang, Chen Ting, Chen Jiexi;

Defenders: Guo Jiafan, Yu Sheng, Wei Zhengxian, Xie Yuan;
Goalkeeper: Liu Yiao.

The Friendship Team is still forming a 433 formation. Li Weifeng's thinking basically continues Shi Jie and Quan Weilong's thinking, but with minor adjustments, Chen Jiexi, who has just been remodeled, is sent to the central midfielder position on the right side of the midfield!
The main players of the two teams entered the field.

Seeing Chen Jiexi walk into the field as the main force of Team Friendship, the players on the bench of Zhongneng Team B couldn't help but boo and whistle.

Hearing the sound approaching, the lineman gave a verbal warning before restraining him.

Chen Ting beside Chen Jiexi whispered, "It's okay, Chen Jiexi. Prove to them your true strength!"

"En." Chen Jiexi nodded.

The two teams carried out the pre-match process as usual, singing the national anthem, shaking hands...

After that, the players on both sides took their positions.

"Shut up!"

The referee blows his whistle and the first half begins!
In the first half, kick-off was played by the Friendship team, who played away.

Zhang Chao kicked off and passed the ball back to Chen Ting in the middle of the midfield.

Chen Ting took the ball, controlled the tempo, waited for Zhongneng Team B to spread out, and distributed the ball to Chen Jiexi on the right.

Chen Jiexi took the ball.

The players of Zhongneng Team B actively rushed up.

Chen Jiexi seemed to be a little distracted, his feet moved slowly, and the ball was snatched away by the players of Zhongneng B team!

Zhongneng B team played a quick counterattack!
It was the midfielder who grabbed the ball from Chen Jiexi's feet. He took the ball and moved it to the side with his big foot. The side player quickly advanced with the ball...

The whole offense was very coherent, without any delay.

Chen Ting of the Friendship Team fought back and sighed in his heart: "It's a well-known youth training team in China. The counterattack is so fast, it reminds me of the Korean National Junior Team in the Asian Minor Championship!"

At this time——

The wide player of Zhongneng Team B suddenly put his foot on the ground and put the ball through——

Directly find Lang Yiming, the arrow character of the striker!
Lang Yiming didn't make any adjustments, and took advantage of the momentum to hit the door——

The shot went straight to the far corner, Liu Yiao flew across and barely managed to get out of the door!
At the beginning, the Zhongneng B team played a very threatening attack!

"The whole attack only lasts 7 seconds. The Zhongneng B team's style of play is in line with that of the first team. Our players must adapt to this rhythm on the field as soon as possible, so as not to be scattered..." Li Weifeng looked at the field from the sidelines, thinking road.

Indeed, the style of play of the Zhongneng B team clearly bears the "brand" of the Zhongneng club's first team. Many veteran Chinese teams have begun to form their own club's fixed style of play and system, and they have been consistent from the echelon to the first team.

The Zhongneng Club’s style of play is based on the foundation laid by South Korean coach Zhang Wailong. The South Korean coach has high requirements for the players’ attack speed. From the backcourt to the frontcourt, it only takes “7 seconds” to complete an attack. Relying on this "7-second theory", the Qingdao Zhongneng team was once infinitely close to the AFC Champions League...

But then the club did not manage well and "bleeded" too much, and fell into the Chinese League One.

Today's opponent of the Friendship Team, the Zhongneng B team, is the youth training echelon of the Zhongneng Club. According to the requirements of the Football Association, the echelon becomes the second team, registers, and participates in the grassroots leagues affiliated to the Football Association.

Back on the field.

Liu Yiao shouted loudly to encourage his teammates.

Zhongneng Team B wins a corner kick.

The corner kick was taken, the wide players stepped forward to respond, Zhongneng B team played a tactical corner kick.

Xie Yuan, the right back of the Friendship Team, was very focused and followed the opponent closely.

The wide players of Zhongneng B team forced a cross, and the football passed the bottom line.

Friendship team goal kick.

Goalkeeper Liu Yi'ao kicked the ball to center back Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng took the ball, and Lang Yiming, the center of Zhongneng Team B, quickly went up to grab the ball.

Yu Sheng made a cross pass to the center back partner Wei Zhengxian, calmly defusing Zhongneng's B team's press.

Wei Zhengxian passed the ball forward again, to the midfielder Chen Ting, Chen Ting touched the ball with one foot, and passed the ball to Xu Songjiang...

At the midfield position, Team Friendship's offense suddenly accelerated!
Xu Songjiang made a through ball and found Amber!

Due to a small friction with the Zhongneng B team before the game, Amber received "special attention" from the Zhongneng B team. As soon as he got the ball, he attracted two defensive players...

"Crack, crack!"

Amber first pulled the ball backwards, and then suddenly started it. The left and right feet changed directions twice in a row. The football followed the Z-shaped trajectory to avoid the defense of the two Zhongneng B team players!

"what!?"

The players of Zhongneng Team B were shocked. They never expected that Amber's footwork skills were so delicate.

On the sidelines, on the bench of Zhongneng Team B.

Qu Bo was also surprised, and said to himself: "I didn't expect that there are players with such delicate skills in domestic football. No wonder Li Weifeng quit his job at Tianhai Club and came to this small team..."

On the field.

After Amber passed two loyal B team players, he dribbled the ball into the middle, cut inside, and took advantage of the momentum——

The central defender of Zhongneng Team B came forward and turned around to block it!
Amber made a fake shot and a real dunk, used a fake move to shake off the defense, and kicked the goal!
The football rolls to the goal...

The goalkeeper of Zhongneng Team B went to the ground very fast and saved the ball!
Football is back on the field.

Zhang Chao, the center of the Friendship Team, reacted extremely quickly and followed up with a supplementary shot——

"Boom!"

A kick that was close at hand hit the goalkeeper's face and popped out of the bottom line!
Friendship wins a corner.

The goalkeeper of Zhongneng Team B covered his face with his hands and fell in pain in the penalty area.

The rest of the Zhongneng B team quit and immediately surrounded Zhang Chao. They thought that Zhang Chao had deliberately kicked the ball in the goalkeeper's face, and they went forward to ask Zhang Chao for an explanation.

Zhang Chao has been playing streetball since he was a child. He often got into fights and was injured all over his body. How could he be afraid of the "provocation" of these small characters, so he pushed and shoved with the players of Zhongneng B team...

Seeing this, the referee hurried over and played [-] boards against both sides. Zhang Chao and the leading troublemaker of Zhongneng Team B each received a yellow card.

Friendship team bench.

"What kind of referee is this! It's obviously the Zhongneng B team who picked the trouble first!" Ning Wan'er said indignantly, making special gestures to the referees in the field, and lost the image of a lady in front of Shi Jie and others in the past.

Quan Weilong calmly persuaded: "The referee's decision is not a problem. Zhang Chao himself failed to score the ball first, and then pushed and shoved each other with the opponent. He is still not experienced enough..."

Quan Weilong did not say clearly that if Zhang Chao fell to the ground when the opponent was pushing and shoving, then only the opponent would get the card. Zhang Chao got the yellow card because of his momentary restlessness, and he was still not "smooth" enough on the field .

Back on the field.

Xu Songjiang takes a corner kick.

When the football penalty reached the back point, Xu Mingdong leaped high and hit the goal with a header——

The football goes slightly wide of the goal.

At the beginning of the first half, the two teams had opportunities for each other, which established the tone of the game's offensive battle.

Li Weifeng stood on the sidelines, feeling very nervous. After all, this was his first match in command of the Friendship Team. A perfect start is half the battle!
Although the opponent is not weak, the first victory is the only goal of the friendly team in this game...
