Chapter 108 The powerful fourth place
Lin Jin was sitting in the bus, and the driver was smoking outside the bus.
She was watching the live broadcast of the game on the mobile phone in her hand.
The live broadcast is the match between Dongchuan Middle School and Huitang Middle School.
Just ten minutes into the game, Huitang Middle School had the upper hand.
They used Xiao Kuailing's offensive tactics to force Dongchuan Middle School to shrink its defense and not dare to invest troops in the offense, for fear that there would not be enough people on the back line and the opponent would find loopholes.
Lin Jin frowned as she watched this. She expected that this game would be difficult for Dongchuan Middle School, but she didn't expect that it would be a hard fight at the beginning.
Various barrages floated on the live broadcast screen:
"Huitang Middle School was ranked fourth last time. Even if Dongchuan Middle School is the biggest dark horse in the first round, it can only end here!"
“Huitang Middle School’s quick passing and cutting coordination is really pleasing to the eye!”
"Come on Huitang Middle School!"
"Isn't Luo Kai boasting very fiercely? Why haven't I seen any performance from him? How about 'the strongest freshman'!"
"This is a match between Dongchuan Middle School and Huitang Middle School. Fans of Chen Xingyi should not come over and cause trouble!"
"Luo Kai Luo Kai!! Luo Kai is the strongest!"
“It’s not an exaggeration to say that the midfielder of Wang Chaolin and Ke Yan is the strongest midfielder combination, right?”
In fact, Lin Jin liked to turn on the barrage function when watching games in the past. While watching the live broadcast of the game, she watched the fans chatting. She found it very interesting, as if she was watching the game with many people at the same time.
But now she clicked to turn off the barrage function at the bottom of the screen, and the screen suddenly became much clearer.
She frowned and stared at the phone screen intently.

"Ten minutes into the game, Dongchuan Middle School didn't even have a shot. Supernova Luo Kai, who performed well in the last game, also did nothing..."
The commentator's voice came through the speakers at the four corners of the audio-visual classroom.
The players from Jiaxiang High School gathered again to watch the live broadcast of this game.
The kickoff time for this game was later than the first round game, so Jiaxiang High School players finally got to watch a complete game.
"Huitang Middle School picked up the rhythm right from the beginning..."
"Now it seems that Dongchuan Middle School defeated Xizi Middle School 6:0 in the first round, which is not necessarily a good thing. Huitang Middle School has become serious now. If they had eliminated Xizi Middle School after a hard battle, what might have happened It will be different. Huitang Middle School will not be so serious..."
"Huh? How is that possible? Let me tell you, no matter how Dongchuan Middle School wins in the first round, Huitang Middle School cannot let them go easily!"
"Yes, I guess they are extremely jealous of Dongchuan Middle School now! Because we were the ones who defeated them in the third and fourth place finals. They must regard Dongchuan Middle School as our substitute and want revenge. ! ”
The Jiaxiang High School players who were watching the game in the audio-visual classroom obviously did not need the barrage function, because they could chat directly about the game broadcast.
Just as he was talking, he saw on the projection screen, the midfielder of Huitang Middle School, Wang Chaolin, wearing the No. 10 jersey, asking for the ball from his teammate on the right.
He ran to the right rib, and his teammates also passed the football.
Dongchuan Middle School midfielder Liu Haowen immediately pushed towards Wang Chaolin.
At the same time, the full-back of Huitang Middle School who passed the ball to Wang Chaolin did not stop, but continued to advance along the wing, as if he was going to hit the wall in a one-two with Wang Chaolin.
Wang Chaolin indeed looked in the direction of his advance and raised his feet.
Mao Xiao, who originally wanted to rush towards Wang Chaolin with Liu Haowen, immediately guarded the penalty area. At the same time, Dongchuan Middle School's right back Li Liang turned around and followed the opponent's full back.
Wang Chaolin finally passed the football, but not to the forward full-back. Instead, he turned around in a slightly awkward posture and passed the football behind him to the left side of the penalty area!
Before that, he didn't even observe the situation over there and just passed the football over.
It's like he knows that someone will definitely receive the kick after he passes it!
In fact, someone did get it!
"Nice pass! Ke Yan!"
Following the commentator's roar, Huitang Middle School's No. 8 player raised his left foot high and stopped the football in the air.
This short player is Ke Yan, one of the core midfielders of Huitang Middle School.
Since Huitang Middle School's offense had always been on their right, Dongchuan Middle School's defensive focus also shifted.
Although head coach Li Ziqiang warned the players before the game not to lose their defensive position easily.
But when faced with Wang Chaolin's imaginative and extremely difficult cross pass, Dongchuan Middle School's defense still couldn't keep up - when Ke Yan received the ball, Dongchuan Middle School's main defensive forces were all On the other side, the only person in front of Ke Yan now is Dongchuan Middle School right back Wang Junchao, who has withdrawn to help defend.
He rushed forward quickly, trying to steal the ball when Ke Yan had just stopped a high ball.
As a result, Ke Yan very coherently dunked the football to the left. At the same time, he turned slightly sideways and dodged Wang Junchao who was rushing towards him!
"Opportunity! Ke Yan broke into the restricted area!"
As the commentator shouted, players from Jiaxiang High School in the audio-visual classroom exclaimed: "Oh no!"
Meng Xi, the goalkeeper of Dongchuan Middle School, abandoned the goal and attacked, trying to block Ke Yan's shooting angle.
But when Ke Yan caught up with the football, he didn't hesitate and just shot low!
The football hit the back corner of the goal against the turf.
After passing by Meng Xi, it accurately got into the goal net!
"Good goal! Beautiful! In the first 13 minutes, Huitang Middle School took the lead! Huitang Middle School's fast passing and cutting led by Wang Chaolin and Ke Yan left a very deep impression on us in the last competition , this time they used this tactic to stun the defense of Dongchuan Middle School, causing them to lose their position while running... In the end, Ke Yan seized the opportunity and completed the fatal blow!"
"Ahhh!" In the audio-visual classroom, a player from Jiaxiang High School yelled regretfully.
Although they are mortal enemies in the Andong Cup, just like the last game, since Dongchuan Middle School is now representing the high school football team of Andong Province, the players from Jiaxiang High School naturally support Dongchuan Middle School and hope they will not An embarrassment to the Anton High School football team.
Of course they would feel very sorry to see Dongchuan Middle School lose the ball.
"The defense of Dongchuan Middle School still can't compare with ours... I think back then, after we scored one goal ahead of them, we maintained that one-goal lead until the end!"
"Nonsense, our team had a captain at that time! Chen Xingyi couldn't do anything to the captain, how could Wang Chaolin and Ke Yan break through the captain's defense?"
※※※
After the football entered the goal, Li Ziqiang heard a cry from the bench behind him.
He stood on the sidelines, frowning.
Obviously, the defensive tactics deployed before the game did not work.
He still underestimated the tacit understanding of Huitang Middle School's passing and cutting cooperation.
Wang Chaolin is able to pass the football into the space behind him without observing his surroundings at all.
This caught Dongchuan Middle School off guard.
That pass was like a stroke of genius...
No wonder this high school has also been able to participate in the national competition for six consecutive years.
Everyone has never missed a national competition, and the value of Huitang Middle School is much higher than that of Xizi Middle School...
Obviously, if the game continues like this, the situation will become increasingly unfavorable to the Dongchuan Middle School football team. If they remain indifferent, the team will be fully mobilized by the opponent's passing and running, and will be exhausted...
While the Huitang Middle School players were still celebrating their goals, Li Ziqiang called captain Chu Yifan to the sidelines and gave him face-to-face instructions.
Soon Chu Yifan took the order and left, then gathered his frustrated teammates together to convey the latest instructions from the head coach.
"The game has just begun, don't give up! The coach asked us to use backup foul tactics, but we must pay attention to the scale of the foul. We have to break their rhythm and disrupt them so that they cannot play at the rhythm they are familiar with."< br>

The door to the principal's office of Dongchuan Middle School was locked, but faint sounds could still be heard coming from inside.
"...Ah, Liu Wenhao fouled Wang Chaolin, and the referee blew the whistle to suspend the game."
"...Dongchuan Middle School committed another foul. This time it was their captain Chu Yifan. He reached out and pulled Ke Yan's jersey, preventing Ke Yan from receiving Wang Chaolin's pass..."
"Obviously, after losing the ball, Dongchuan Middle School made tactical adjustments. They should have adopted foul tactics to break the original rhythm of the game. This really worked. Huitang Middle School's offensive threat was reduced. Many, Dongchuan Middle School even has the strength to fight back..."
"Luo Kai received the pass and rushed with the ball, but faced with the defense of two Huitang Middle School players, he was forced to slow down and then chose to pass back..."
"...Luo Kai was really tightly defended by Huitang Middle School in this game. He scored four goals in the last game, and while he stole the show, he also became the target of public criticism..."
"No, it wasn't just Luo Kai who fell into the tight defense of Huitang Middle School, Chu Yifan was the same. As soon as he received the ball, two Huitang Middle School players came up and intercepted his ball... As the only midfield organizer of Dongchuan Middle School, once he is restricted, Dongchuan Middle School’s offensive effect will be greatly reduced.”
"Huitang Middle School's offense was frequently interrupted by Dongchuan Middle School's foul tactics, and Dongchuan Middle School's offense was unable to pose a threat because Luo Kai and Chu Yifan were targeted. The game began to become dull... in the stands There were some sporadic boos, and it was clear that the fans were not satisfied with how the game turned out..."
"Dongchuan Middle School midfielder Liu Wenhao fouled Wang Chaolin again. This time the referee did not let him go, but showed him a yellow card! This is not good news for Dongchuan Middle School, because Their midfield barrier has a yellow card, how will they deal with Wang Chaolin next?”
"Because of Liu Wenhao's foul, Huitang Middle School got an opportunity to take a free kick. This free kick was taken by Wang Chaolin himself... Yes, he is also the number one set kick taker of Huitang Middle School... ...he sets up the football, takes a run... and shoots! ! The ball went in! ! The football flew around the wall of Dongchuan Middle School and into the goal! In the 28th minute, Wang Chaolin’s free kick gave Huitang Middle School a two-goal lead! The situation is very unfavorable for Dongchuan Middle School!”
Creaking, creaking...
This was the friction sound made by Principal Zhai Guangming's hand tightly holding the ceramic tea cup.
It was as if he was exerting all his strength on the teacup, trying to crush it.
In order to watch the game, he locked his office door, refused all work arrangements in advance, and left those things to the people below.
The creaking and rubbing sound echoed in the office for a while and finally disappeared.
Zhai Guangming let go of the poor ceramic tea cup and sighed leisurely.
Sure enough, I'm still a little greedy...I entered the national competition for the first time, and I just wanted to beat the fourth place in the previous year...
That's the semi-finals. How could it be so easy to play?
Thinking of this, Zhai Guangming smiled mockingly.

When he saw Wang Chaolin kicking the free kick into the goal, Li Ziqiang couldn't hold it anymore. He turned around and walked to Hu Lai on the bench and said to him: "Go and warm up first."
"Okay!" Hu Lai said nothing and ran towards the warm-up area.
He is already very familiar with this set of operations.
He guessed that it wouldn't be long before he should play.
There's no way, who made that loser Luo Kai not score a goal yet?
Thinking of this, he cast his disgusted eyes on Luo Kai on the field.
※※※
When Hu Lai was called by the head coach to warm up, Luo Kai noticed this scene.
At this time, he saw Hu Lai running towards the warm-up area and casting his gaze in his direction.
Although they were a little far apart, Luo Kai still clearly felt the meaning of those eyes - disdain and contempt.
After being stared at by these two eyes, Luo Kai suddenly felt a rush of blood rushing to his head!
When had he ever been looked down upon like this?
He clenched his fists tightly. (End of chapter)
