Chapter 72 Key Figures
When Luo Kai shook his fist at the Jiaxiang cheerleading team, Feng Yuanchang stood up and walked to the sidelines.
Behind him were the coaches and substitute players of the Jiaxiang High School football team, holding their heads and wailing.
He walked to the sidelines and waved to Wang Guangwei. While others were still frustrated, he was already thinking about making adjustments.
While Li Ziqiang was celebrating the goal, he was also paying attention to the situation at the Jiaxiang High School coaching bench. When he saw Feng Yuanchang getting up and walking to the sidelines, he laughed.
It’s a pity that it’s too late to adjust now! We've evened the score!
Even if we hold on to a draw next, it is completely acceptable. Even a draw is one of Dongchuan Middle School's tactical goals - they specially practiced penalty kicks before coming to participate in the finals.
Because of the addition of Meng Xi, Li Ziqiang was much more confident in the penalty shootout.
Since Jiaxiang High School is good at defense, Li Ziqiang will certainly consider what Luo Kai will do if he cannot score. Hu Lai was his backup plan, but the plan he prepared was definitely more than this.
It wasn't just that he told his daughter to let Luo Kai and Tang Yuan switch positions and let Chu Yifan actively press forward.
Also includes penalties.
If Dongchuan Middle School really couldn't break through Jiaxiang High School's defense, then he would accept a penalty shootout.
According to the rules of the National High School Football Championship, if the game ends in a draw during regular time, there will be no overtime and a direct penalty shootout will be used to determine the winner.
At that time, the competition will no longer be about defensive tactics and offensive tactics, but purely about the players' personal abilities and psychological qualities.
Dongchuan Middle School might be able to turn defeat into victory.
Of course Li Ziqiang knew that just because he took over Dongchuan Middle School in a hurry, it would be difficult for him to compete with Jiaxiang High School in the finals, but this did not mean that he would surrender without doing anything.
That's all his plan.

"It was evened! Damn it!" Xia Wu and his classmates in the stands held their heads in their hands, looking very upset. Although the girls were not as exaggerated as the boys, they still sighed and frowned.
"I have to say, that Luo Kai is really awesome..." Although it was very unpleasant to be equalized, everyone still naturally respects the strong. A good performance is certainly convincing.
"Oh, this is his thirteenth goal in this Anton Cup, right? The golden boot is undoubtedly his..."
"It is said that our school also went to look for him, hoping that he could come to Jiaxiang to study in high school, but he refused. I have always felt that it is a pity. Think about it, if he came to our school, Luo Kai would attack the city ahead. With Wang Guangwei behind us, there is no suspense about the Anton Cup. Let alone the third place in the country, we can even win the national championship!”
When Xia Xiaoyu heard what everyone said, he asked curiously: "Jiaxiang High School is so strong, why did he reject Jiaxiang High School?"
Speaking of this, the expressions on everyone's faces were not so natural. Finally, a girl explained to Xia Xiaoyu: "It is said that Dongchuan Middle School is closer to Luo Kai's house."
"So that's it...thank you." Xia Xiaoyu smiled and thanked the girl. I thought to myself that no wonder the others were hesitant to speak. The appeal of Jiaxiang High School, the mighty football hegemon of Andong Province, was not worth the reason of being "close to home"... and was it really "close to home"? I don’t know yet, but if that’s the reason, wouldn’t Jiaxiang High School be even more embarrassed?
Xia Xiaoyu shook his head in his heart, and then turned his attention to the stadium.
This goal was scored by Luo Kai, but Xia Xiaoyu felt that it was not just as simple as Luo Kai's ability. If the game remains the same as before, with Wang Guangwei and Wu Yue defending Luo Kai, then Luo Kai may not have such a good shooting opportunity.
So the key figure is still with No. 14. Since he came on the field, Jiaxiang High School's defense has been in chaos. If it hadn't been for him just now, Xia Xiaoyu would bet that Wang Guangwei would have rushed up to defend Luo Kai with Wu Yue. And once Wang Guangwei goes up, it's hard to say whether Luo Kai can kick the ball.

"Luo Kai is a player who is a threat only when the ball is at his feet, and No. 14 is the most threatening when the ball is not at his feet." Feng Yuanchang, who had already given Wang Guangwei face-to-face instructions, returned to the coaching bench and said to his assistant coach. "The chaos we had during this period was all caused by No. 14 in the penalty area. But he will never have the chance to be a troublemaker again..."
"Ahem, that Feng Zhi, you should use another word to describe him..." The assistant coach's face didn't look good.
"What's wrong?"
"You said he was a 'shit stirrup'..."
"Yes, isn't he just a troublemaker?"
"Well, he is causing trouble in our restricted area..."
Feng Yuanchang was stunned for a moment, then his mind came to his senses, and his face turned dark instantly. The calm old coach almost lost his temper and cursed, but even so, his heavy breathing was clearly heard by the assistant coach next to him.
The assistant coach didn't dare to speak anymore when he saw Feng Yuanchang like this. He really didn't expect that the always calm and steady old coach would be confused sometimes.
So after losing the ball, Feng Zhi was not as calm as he showed...
The assistant coach set his sights on the player No. 14 of Dongchuan Middle School named "Hu Lai" on the field.
Why is this guy so evil?
Wang Guangwei lost his cool when he first came on the field, and now he was making Feng Zhi gasp for breath.

When the game restarted, Jiaxiang High School reflected the adjustments made by their head coach Feng Yuanchang.
The midfielder shrinks back and is more closely connected with the back line, shortening the distance from the forward line to the back line, further restricting the activities of Dongchuan Middle School offensive players such as Luo Kai and Chu Yifan in front of the Jiaxiang High School penalty area. space.
At the same time, additional manpower was sent to defend Luo Kai. Although the defensive capabilities of other Jiaxiang players were not as good as Wang Guangwei's, they had more people, and with the support of the tactical system, they would not cause less trouble to Luo Kai than Wang Guangwei.
The purpose of this is to free up Wang Guangwei, who will be freed to defend Hu Lai.
"Keep an eye on him and don't give him a chance to catch the ball and shoot."
This was Feng Yuanchang's personal instruction to Wang Guangwei from the sidelines.
So this is the situation Hu Lai is facing now - no matter how he runs, there is Wang Guangwei beside him.
After he ran to the position, he originally wanted to receive the captain's pass, but when he saw Wang Guangwei next to him, Chu Yifan passed the football to Luo Kai.
Luo Kai had no better way. Being surrounded by the crowd, he could only pass the football out and passed the ball to winger Tang Yuan.
Seeing Tang Yuan get the ball, Hu Lai immediately ran forward.
Tang Yuan's cross was also delivered shortly afterwards, but before Hu Lai could jump up to grab the ball, the ball was headed out by Wang Guangwei.

"Hey, why does Wang Guangwei keep following that No. 14..." Xia Wu, a student in the stands, raised his own questions about what just happened on the field.
"It's just that I don't think there's anything great about No. 14. He seems to just shoot after he comes on the field, right?"
"It was obviously Luo Kai who scored our goal. Why didn't the Kings defend Luo Kai but No. 14?"
"Hey, do you think it's because No. 14 made a fool of our captain, so the captain had sex with him?"
"You can't, right? Isn't that just acting out of ambition? Let Luo Kai, who is the most threatening, not defend himself, but run to defend someone... who just shoots a goal?"
Xia Xiaoyu listened to their discussion and saw that they were talking about No. 14 as if they were very unbearable. He couldn't help expressing his opinion: "No, No. 14 is the real threat. Luo Kai scored just now because of The 14th helped him attract Wang Guangwei.”
"Huh? You just shot a goal when you came on, and it was high. What threat can you pose?"
Xia Xiaoyu said: "Because Jiaxiang High School does not dare to let him run around, this No. 14 is very good at running without the ball."
Xia Wu frowned and said, "Then there's no need to let Wang Guangwei keep an eye on him, right? Can't we just find a defender, like Huang Zheng?"
His cousin shook his head and said: "Maybe Jiaxiang's coach thinks that only Wang Guangwei can guard against No. 14?"
Hearing Xia Xiaoyu say this, a group of people, including his cousin Xia Wu, looked at him in disbelief.

Hu Lai almost cried on the court. He said to Wang Guangwei who was following him: "No, why are you always following me? I solemnly apologize to you for brushing your hair. I didn't do it right. I shouldn't have done it." My hands ruined your hairstyle..."
When Wang Guangwei heard that Hu Lai was not opening the pot, he couldn't hold back the fire in his heart. He took a deep breath, then suppressed it again, and then said to Hu Lai in a calm tone: "I I won’t let you score a goal.”
Hu Lai pointed at Luo Kai in the distance: "It's not brother, he was the one who scored your goal before! You should defend him! You should go and guard against him! I'm worried that you guys can't deal with him." ! Now, don’t say I didn’t mention it then. Wake up, that person is my classmate, he is awesome, a super genius, a key figure, awesome Glass! I am not bragging, your cheerleading team is not as good as other people’s cheering team!”
Wang Guangwei looked at where the football was, unmoved by Hu Lai's words, and still stood beside him. (End of chapter)
