There is a team called the Friendship Team

Chapter 21 Final Preparations

Saturday, the day before the Friendship's first TJ City Soccer Premier League game.

sunny.

"Cuckoo—" From a market next to Fulun Middle School, the sound of a rooster crowing was heard, which was especially clear due to the silence.

This is Saturday and Sunday when students are on vacation. If it is normal for students to start school, the school gate will be crowded with parents who pick up and drop off their children. Within the period, if you don't raise your voice and speak loudly, neither can hear each other's words clearly.

At this time——

"Hahaha..." The laughter of several boys broke the silence around the school in the early morning.

I saw four big boys riding bicycles side by side, talking and laughing towards the main entrance of Fulun Middle School.

The four were none other than Xu Mingdong, Wei Xiang, Feng Ge and Liu Yiao, players of the Friendship Team trained by Laifulun Middle School. I don't know who started it. The four chatted about the national football game last night.

"It stinks yesterday!" Wei Xiang said.

"What did I say? Tell you not to watch." Liu Yiao said.

"Didn't you win?" Xu Mingdong asked.

"Yes, the national football team played against Tajikistan's Olympic team, which is not ranked 100th in the world. It only scored a goal and was besieged all the time!" Feng Ge said.

The four talked about each other, criticizing the national football team, until they locked the car in the school carport.

"Because of the current decline of Chinese football, we need the future flowers of our motherland to stand up and shoulder the heavy responsibility." The discussion of the four was interrupted by this voice, and they looked together, and it turned out to be Amber.

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Amber continued: "Don't forget, we are also players now. National football players are at a high level for us, they are the current 'ceiling' of domestic players, and they are the goals we should aim for. I think we must be better than them to be qualified to judge them."

"We are also players..." the four of them murmured. They didn't seem to be very clear about their status as players. Maybe they felt that their level was not good enough. They still thought of themselves as students ideologically, and the Friendship Team seemed more like they participated in A certain interest group in the school.

"Well, what Amber said is correct. Everyone should be clear about their goals and identify their positions. This year we will play in the regional league, and next year it will be the Chinese Champions League. National competitions will be gradually upgraded in the future. China B, China A, The Chinese Super League, even the AFC Champions League and the Club World Cup will be your stage! I firmly believe that most of you will be able to enter the Olympic team and the national team in the future!" Shi Jie said standing outside the carport.

"Coach Shi..." Shi Jie's words gave them great encouragement.These passionate young people were instinctively excited and excited when they heard such uplifting words.

In addition to being excited, the seeds of the Chinese football dream were deeply planted in their hearts.

"Okay, you lock the car and come out, and gather at the training ground." Shi Jie said, turning around and walking towards the training ground.

"Yes!" Several players responded, quickly locked the car, and rushed to the training ground.

The rest of the players had arrived and stood in a row, waiting for them for a long time.Amber, Wei Xiang and others trotted to the end of the line and stood up.

Amber calmed down, glanced at the players next to him inadvertently, and asked in surprise, "Li Lindong?"

"Hush—" Li Lindong signaled Amber not to speak yet, the coach was about to speak.

Amber thought: "It turns out that the new player is Li Lindong. No wonder he can lock the main force. Now the competition for the main position is more intense."

"Okay, everyone is here. Let me explain today's training content." Shi Jie said, "Due to tomorrow's game, there will only be one training session today, which is a 15-minute group confrontation. As for the grouping, Liu Yiao, Xie Yuan, me, Yu Sheng, Chen Ting, Quan Weilong, Jiang Jiayao, Wei Xiang, Xu Mingdong, Li Lindong are in a group, and the rest of the players are in a group, so it should be exactly 10 against 10."

After hearing the grouping announced by Shi Jie, Sun Bin, Feng Ge, An Po, and Ren Yuan, who started the game against Delta U20 team, felt a little disappointed. They felt that they might be excluded from the starting lineup. The training group should be the starting lineup for the next day's game.

And some substitute players are concerned about another key point.

"Only practice for 15 minutes! That tells us to arrive before 7 o'clock." Xiao Xiao complained in a low voice.

"Don't make trouble, the coach must have his own arrangements." Yu Sheng said in a low voice.

The players stood on both sides according to Shi Jie's arrangement, and Ning Wan'er acted as the referee.

The group confrontation begins!
After all, it is the main force and the substitute, there is a gap in ability level, and the individual players on the substitute are younger, and there is also a gap in physical fitness, so there is a huge gap between the two sides. The main force completely suppresses the substitute and attacks around the goal of the substitute. .

However, Amber, who was on the bench, used his own speed to put a little pressure on the main team when counterattacking.As for Sun Bin and Feng Ge, they were systematic players, and they occasionally counterattacked sporadically. They didn't get a few chances to perform, let alone pose a threat.

In the end, in just 15 minutes, the main team defeated the substitute team 5-0, Li Lindong staged a "hat-trick", Xu Mingdong and Jiang Jiayao each scored a goal, which was the icing on the cake.

"Okay, that's all for today's training, everyone, don't practice any more, go home early to rest, and the official competition will start tomorrow. Now, Shi Jie, Wan'er, I, and I are going to the Olympic Center to participate in the league opening event, so we have to leave first. Sun Bin and Chen Ting come over and go with us." Quan Weilong shouted to the players.

"Oh, I see." Sun Bin and Chen Ting agreed and walked over.

It was only now that the players realized that the coach had something to do, that's why he arranged to come to training so early.

Amber lowered her head and murmured to herself depressedly: "The side with me is actually defeated..."

Jiang Jiayao thought to himself: Why did he call Sun Bin and Chen Ting instead of me...

Xiao Xiao, Yu Sheng, and Feng Ge thought to themselves, it was early anyway, there was nothing to do when they went back, their eyes met, and they all understood.After leaving Fulun Middle School, the three went straight to the Internet cafe near the school to surf the Internet.

Xu Mingdong, Wei Xiang and others, because they are now in the third grade of junior high school and have exams at the end of the month, they happened to go home to review their homework.

Each player has his own plan...

And Shijie them.

Shi Jie drove his SUV, carrying Quan Weilong, Ning Wan'er, Sun Bin, and Chen Ting to the Olympic Center.

After driving for about half an hour, the five of Shi Jie arrived at the Olympic Center and entered the stadium.

In the stadium, the club representatives, team leaders, and captains of the remaining nine teams were all present.

On the sidelines, players from 4 other teams have also arrived.After the opening ceremony, there will be two Tianjin Football Super League matches on this field today.

In addition, two guests were specially invited to the opening ceremony.One is Li Weifeng, the manager of Tianjin Tianhai and a member of the Chinese coaching staff, and the other is the person Shi Jie least wants to see - Duan Long.

It's time for the opening ceremony.

A young, beautiful and long-legged beauty host stepped onto the temporary stage and said, "Welcome the representatives and players of all teams to come here. Today is the opening day of the TJ City Football Super League. The next two In a month, there will be a total of 45 contests on this field, which will be passionate collisions, wonderful goals, and crazy shouts! I believe everyone can't wait."

"Yes, yes!" Several people in the audience responded.

The beautiful host continued: "Next, proceed to the oath-taking process for each team."

Representatives and captains of the ten teams went to the stage and took turns taking the oath of observing fair play and respecting sportsmanship.

But Shi Jie and Quan Weilong had already agreed, and the Friendship Team sent Ning Wan'er and Sun Bin to make an oath.

When the two took the oath on the stage, they surprised the rest of the team. They were surprised that the club hired a female assistant and appointed a 15-year-old child as the captain.

After the swearing-in process, Li Weifeng and Duan Long also spoke on behalf of Tianjin Tianhai and Tianjin Daida, the two largest football clubs in TJ City, hoping to discover more football talents through the competition, and the football clubs in Tianjin will develop and grow together, etc. and so on.

Finally, the chairman of the Tianjin Football Association stepped onto the stage and said loudly: "I declare that the Tianjin Football Super League is open!"

After the opening ceremony, Shi Jie and the others did not leave, but stayed and watched the next two matches, observing the enemy's situation, and knowing themselves and the enemy.
