Chapter 138 Preparing for the warm-up match against Taoyuan
After returning, the first thing Tao Qian did was to let the players line up to weigh themselves.

As a result, Wang Shuang and Hua Xiong, who were overweight, were required to run ten kilometers every morning.

This made Gongsun Zan and others, who were about to reach the weight limit, sigh.

This time, since the game time is very close, except for the two who are overweight, the rest of the training is mainly based on tactical cooperation.

After a few days of training, Tao Qian discovered that Gao Qingyu's performance in the position of a free man was getting better and better. It can be said that after a short ten-day vacation, Gao Qingyu has fully adapted to the role of a free man.

Therefore, Tao Qian decided to arrange a warm-up match for the team.

This afternoon, after the players' training, Tao Qian gathered the players together and said: "There are still five days before the national competition. I think you need a real game to test it out. The training of time has paid off.”

"I have arranged a warm-up match for you. Your opponent will arrive here tomorrow." Tao Qian paused, and then said, "Your opponent is the Taoyuan team."

"Team Taoyuan!"

"Oh my god, are the opponents in the warm-up match so powerful?"

"That's right, the Taoyuan team is the favorite to win the championship this year."

"In addition to Liu Bei, they also have the five tiger generals and the dragon and phoenix combination. Do they want to be so strong?"

Tao Qian just quietly listened to everyone's discussion, and waited until everyone quieted down before saying, "Are you so unconfident in yourself?"

"That's right, if you're so scared, get out early," Lu Bu's lazy voice sounded later, "A mere Taoyuan team scares you like this, and if you meet the Tongque and Chibi teams, you won't be scared to cry." ?”

"It seems that you are very confident?" Chen Gong asked with a smile from the side.

"If it was the former Taoyuan team, I would really have confidence," Lu Bu said lazily, "But the current Taoyuan team, I really dare not say, the main reason is that the teammates are too weak."

"Lu Bu, what do you mean!"

"We are not strong there?"

"That's right, you speak clearly!"

"Huh!" Lu Bu snorted angrily, then stood up, and said angrily, "It's just a warm-up match, and it's still a comparison, so you should admit your cowardice first, and I'll give you face if you don't scold you!"

"Lu Bu is right," Gao Qingyu also stood up and said, "In the national competition, every opponent is not easy. If we want to achieve good results, we must not be intimidated by any opponent."

"Okay, shut up!" Tao Qian stopped the players who were eager to try and continue to refute, and then said, "Lu Bu and Gao Qingyu are right, we can't admit defeat before we have a match."

"Although the Taoyuan team is very strong, have you ever thought that your strength is not weak," Tao Qian continued, "Our team is also one of the favorites to win the championship!"

"Huh? Really?"

"I never dared to think of that."

"Hasn't the championship been monopolized by the three cities of Taoyuan, Tongque and Chibi?"

Tao Qian raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then explained: "Last year, we competed in the city and ranked No.4 in the national competition, but at that time, we only ranked the team of Zhuzhong University of Science and Technology. Formed a joint team, and the strength has been further strengthened."

"Perhaps you will say that the Taoyuan team is stronger than in previous years, but no matter how strong he is, we still have the strength to compete," Tao Qian said seriously, "And, you don't want to verify the results of your training during this period of time? ?”

Thinking of the training during this period of time, everyone's confidence rose again, especially the free man tactics around Gao Qingyu, which opened their eyes during this period of time.

Chen Gong frowned and asked, "But, shouldn't our tactics be kept secret?"

"Secret?" Tao Qian chuckled dryly, "Do you think we can keep it secret if we don't play the warm-up match?"

Mi Zhu on the side stood up and said, "According to our latest news, Yuan Shao has confirmed that he has joined the Central Plains University of Technology and will represent the Central Plains Empire in the competition. Therefore, the free man tactics Gao Qingyu used that day is no longer a secret."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't expect Yuan Shao to really leave the competition and join another team.

"Okay, leave him alone," Tao Qian said, "I have already agreed with Liu Bei in advance that tomorrow's match will be closed and no one else will be present."

"However, Liu Bei doesn't seem to be a very reassuring person," Chen Gong said worriedly, "Although he is very honest on the surface, in fact, he is not very reassuring."

Tao Qian replied: "You don't have to worry about this. They also have their own secrets. Tomorrow's game, he probably doesn't want people to know more than us."

Afterwards, Mi Zhu announced the starting list for tomorrow's competition. This list is also Tao Qian's list of main players for the national competition based on everyone's performance during this period of time.

The center position is Lu Bu, and the two wingers are Zhang Xiu and Gongsun Zan;

In the midfield, Zhang Jiao and Chen Lin won the starting position, while Wen Pin took the midfielder position;
Back line, Wang Shuang, Yan Gang, and Hu Che'er;

Goalkeeper Huo Jun.

Freeman Gao Qingyu on the court.

"This game will be the best opportunity for us to test our tactics," Tao Qian finally said, "Although I want to say that winning or losing the game doesn't matter, I still hope that everyone can win, well, let's rest early and disband. "

At the same time, in the Zhulu City Hotel, Liu Bei of the Taoyuan team was also studying tomorrow's game with Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

Liu Bei said: "According to our latest news, the opponent may use free man tactics."

"Free man," Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "this style of play has not appeared for a long time."

"If the free man doesn't use it well, it will have a negative effect." Pang Tong obviously dismissed it.

Liu Bei shook his head: "I don't think Tao Qian would do something meaningless. Since they chose the free man tactic, it means he is sure."

"Is that so, are you planning to stop hiding tomorrow?" Zhuge Liang asked.

Liu Bei asked back: "Don't you think this is the best chance to test our strength?"

"Okay, then let's study it, let's start tomorrow's game."

"Forwards Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong."

"No problem, just the three of us in midfield, plus Ma Chao."

"For the back line, Guan Yu and Wei Yan plus Zhou Cang and Wang Ping."

"Goalkeeper Zhang Fei, this is the strongest formation we can field."

"That's right," Liu Bei finally said, "Let me see that Gao Qingyu tomorrow, what kind of ability is it that can make Zhao Yun so obsessed."
