Chapter 139: Not speculating in half a sentence
When Xu Gaofei kicked the football into the goal guarded by Meng Xi, he opened his arms and ran towards the corner flag area, and huge cheers broke out in the packed stands.
The students of Jiaxiang High School have been waiting for this ball for too long.
Ever since they were defeated in the Anton Cup final last year, they have been looking forward to this moment every day and night - the moment of revenge.
Amid the deafening cheers, Li Ziqiang didn't look very good.
He expected that the team would concede the goal, but he did not expect that the team would concede the goal only twenty minutes into the game.
You must know that in the last Anton Cup, the two teams tied 0:0 in the first half.
It seems that the slippery field has a great impact on the team, and Jiaxiang High School is really full of energy and wants revenge.
The ball conceded just now should actually be a counterattack by Dongchuan Middle School.
At that time, Jiaxiang High School's frontcourt attack failed, and the football was intercepted by Chen Rui. When he wanted to pass the ball forward, his foot slipped and Xu Gaofei beside him successfully counterattacked.
So what was originally a counterattack by Dongchuan Middle School turned into a counterattack by Jiaxiang High School.
Dongchuan Middle School was caught off guard.
After Xu Gaofei stole the ball, he turned around and dribbled the ball into the penalty area. When Mao Xiao came up to interfere with him, he shot the football towards the far corner of the goal.
Although Meng Xi's fingertips did touch the football, it still failed to change the flight trajectory of the football.
In the end, the football flew into the goal and Jiaxiang High School took a one-goal lead.
After losing the ball, Chen Rui sat on the ground, dug out a large piece of soil between the spikes - it was the soil that had been rolled up from under the turf when he slipped - and then shook the soil out to vent his anger.
Li Ziqiang walked to the sidelines, blew his whistle, and used gestures to comfort his players, telling them not to panic or be frustrated.
As for tactical adjustments, he didn't make them.
Because the team's current situation is not a tactical failure, but comes from some non-football factors...
Li Ziqiang turned his head and glanced at the coaching bench next door. After Xu Gaofei scored, Feng Yuanchang was still sitting firmly on Diaoyutai. However, other members of the coaching staff around him were so excited that they almost rushed to the competition area.
※※※
The celebration of Jiaxiang High School players is over and the game continues. However, the Jiaxiang High School students in the stands have not yet come out of their excitement.
As soon as the Jiaxiang High School players on the field got the ball, their excited voices rang out. While cheering for their team, they also created pressure on the Dongchuan Middle School players.
I have to say that their momentum did bring some trouble to the freshmen of Dongchuan Middle School.
Shen Yulin's performance in this game was not outstanding.
The big man's heart may not quite match his appearance.
Several times when he competed with Jiaxiang High School center back Huang Zheng for the top spot, he failed to grab the first spot.
This meant that even if Hu Lai ran to him, it would only be a wasted trip.
He and Shen Yulin could no longer establish contact.
Feng Yuanchang laughed when he saw this scene in the audience.
Before the game, he asked Wu Yue to guard Hu Lai strictly, but he did not expect that the breakthrough point would be Shen Yulin, a freshman in high school.
He scored four goals in the previous five games of the Anton Cup. Judging from the statistics, his performance was very good, but he did not expect that his mental quality was so poor. He was booed and teased by the fans, and he did not know how to play...< br>
Without Shen Yulin as the offensive fulcrum, Hu Lai's role will be reduced.
This is simply God helping me...
※※※
Shen Yulin is not a major scorer for Dongchuan Middle School's offense, although he is considered the second shooter in Dongchuan Middle School.
He more often provides some protection and support for Hu Lai, using his height and header advantages to fight for the football in the frontcourt, and then pass it to Hu Lai.
If Hu Lai's position is not good, then he will pass the football to Xia Xiaoyu or other teammates. Of course, he passes the football to Xia Xiaoyu most often, because the core of the team's midfield is Xia Xiaoyu. It is not feasible for him, a high center forward, to organize the offense. possible. Leave professional matters to professionals, and of course leave it to Xia Xiaoyu to organize attacks and look for opportunities.
Therefore, during the game, Xia Xiaoyu, Shen Yulin and Hu Lai often have to be closer to each other, so that it is easier to pass the ball to each other.
But after Shen Yulin was deposed, there was only a two-way connection between Xia Xiaoyu and Hu Lai.
Defending a line like this is definitely easier than defending a triangle.
Not to mention that Hu Lai is still being "tortured" by Wu Yue.
As soon as Hu Lai ran into position, Wu Yue immediately stepped forward and never gave him a chance to easily get the ball.
Several times, during confrontations with Wu Yue, Hu Lai fell to the ground, and the referee did not call Wu Yue a foul.
At the same time, overwhelming boos immediately erupted from the stands - the students from Jiaxiang High School thought Hu Lai was diving.
The feud between Hu Lai and Jiaxiang High School can be traced back to the last Anton Cup final. It was not because Hu Lai scored in the final and defeated Jiaxiang High School, but because Hu Lai made a very unfriendly move towards Wang Guangwei as soon as he came on the field, causing Wang Guangwei to receive a yellow card.
Given Wang Guangwei's status in the minds of Jiaxiang High School students, Hu Lai's hand was like a slap in their collective faces.
It is precisely because of this move that many students from Jiaxiang High School insist that Dongchuan Middle School defeated them in a dishonorable way, and they have always been brooding about it to this day.
Therefore, this away game is the most unfriendly to Hu Lai.
Whenever he gets the ball, the boos in the stands are like thunder.
※※※
"Guangwei, I think your head is not your head anymore..." Dai Zetao, who found a corner in the stands to watch the game, said to Wang Guangwei next to him.
"Brother Tao, what are you talking about?" Wang Guangwei was confused.
"I mean, your butt is just like a tiger's butt - you can't touch it. Look, that kid was hated by so many people in Jiaxiang High School just because he touched your hair in last year's finals. How miserable. …”
Wang Guangwei looked at Hu Lai who was entangled by Wu Yue and laughed: "Brother Tao, do you think he is pitiful?"
"Isn't it pitiful? You get booed as soon as you get the ball. This is a high school football game. This is the first time I've seen someone treated like this in a game."
Wang Guangwei agreed with the second half of Dai Zetao's sentence. In high school football games, there are indeed very few people who can be hated and disliked by so many people.
But he felt that Hu Lai was not necessarily pitiful.
Because maybe people didn’t take the boos seriously at all?
No...it's not that he doesn't take it seriously, but he should think that these boos are all praising him, right?
With his mean look, it's entirely possible!
When Wang Guangwei thought that Hu Lai could chat with him during the game, he felt that he couldn't guess this kid based on common sense.
Speaking of which, this kid's progress is really fast. When I played with him last year, I could still see his immaturity and youthfulness. Facing his own defense, he had nothing better to do except talk nonsense. In the end, I could only get rid of myself by playing tricks.
But looking at his games this year, although he has been suppressed by Wu Yue so far and has no outstanding performance, looking at his running positions and handling of the ball, it is obvious that he is no longer the novice he was at the time.
It is also completely different from the national competition in March this year.
The progress is really rapid.
He believed that Hu Lai would not be like his big forward partner, who would perform erratically when being booed, nor would he give up the idea of scoring goals just because he encountered Wu Yue's tight marking - otherwise he would not leave his mark in last year's final. The defense should have given up long ago.
Because he has played against Hu Lai, Wang Guangwei knows very well that this person is the type that defensive players hate the most: no matter how successful your defense is, you cannot relax for a second in this game because of those previous successes. His defense does not guarantee that he has defeated this person. It is entirely possible that he is still patiently waiting for an opportunity, or looking for an opportunity. As long as you dare to relax, he will dare to take decisive action...
To compete nervously with such a tenacious forward for the entire game is indeed a very severe test for the defensive players.
Just like now, Hu Lai, who just suffered a loss in the physical confrontation with Wu Yue, is here again.
Dongchuan Middle School launched an attack and successfully advanced to the side of the penalty area of Jiaxiang High School.
Wang Guangwei's eyes were fixed on the thin figure of No. 14 of Dongchuan Middle School.
His big man partner has rushed into the paint, but he is still outside the paint.
Although Wu Yue was in the penalty area, he had been doing two things. On the one hand, he was staring at the Dongchuan Middle School players who were developing on the wing, and on the other hand, he kept turning his head to glance at Hu Lai's position.
Wang Guangwei guessed that this was what Feng Zhi meant, asking Wu Yue to keep an eye on Hu Lai, but not to be easily pulled out of his position. After all, after he left, Jiaxiang High School did not insist on playing a three-center-back formation because he could not find one. A third fit centre-back.
So the defensive position becomes very important.
If Wu Yue is pulled out by Hu Lailai, Jiaxiang High School will only have Huang Zheng as a central defender in the penalty area. That's obviously not possible.
As long as Hu Lai doesn't enter the penalty area, Wu Yue should ignore him. He doesn’t know how to take long shots anyway, and he is no threat as he is far away from the goal...
Just as he was thinking this, Wang Guangwei saw Hu Lai running into the penalty area.
And Wu Yue immediately stuck to it, moving very quickly. Wang Guangwei nodded and was satisfied with Wu Yue. Yes, that's it. Don't let your guard down and don't give him any chance...
In the end, Dongchuan Middle School failed to pass the football to the goal. Maybe it was because Wu Yue posted Hu Lai immediately, which eliminated their two offensive points in the penalty area.
The football was moved from the wings to the center.
Xia Xiaoyu ran over to respond and got the ball.
Wang Guangwei turned his attention to Hu Lai again and saw that Hu Lai had changed positions, but was still in the penalty area.
Wu Yue was beside him.
※※※
Hu Lai turned to look at Wu Yue, and then quickly looked back at Wu Yue.
Wu Yue is still by his side.
He sighed.
It feels really bad to be stuck with a piece of dog skin plaster.
He really wanted to say to this person: Brother, don’t stare at me, I am not a threat...
But he also knew that what he said was unconvincing. After all, there was no Luo Kai in the Dongchuan Middle School team this year, and he could not use Luo Kai as his shield. Secondly, he scored seven goals in this Anton Cup and currently ranks second in the Anton Cup scorer list and first in the Dongchuan Middle School team.
This kind of performance means that he is not threatening, no matter how thick-skinned Hu Lai is, he can't say it...
Seeing Hu Lai sigh, Wu Yue showed a proud expression on his face. He even couldn't help but joked: "What? Why don't we chat this time?"
Hu Lai glanced at him: "It's not enough to say anything."
Wu Yue:? ? ?
At this moment, he saw Hu Lai suddenly rush out with a lunge!
He didn't have time to think about what happened, and his body's conditioned reflex made him follow. But he was still a little slow - just when he arrived, Hu Lai had already received the ball from Xia Xiaoyu!
Wu Yue secretly shouted in his heart that it was dangerous! If I hadn't reacted quickly, I might have been fooled by this kid again...
He quickly pressed forward and pushed his shoulders hard against Hu Lai.
This is a way to compete for strength in defense. Don't use your hands directly, as it may lead to a foul. In order to avoid suspicion, he even had to put his hands behind his back to avoid being called a foul by the referee.
But he didn't easily push away Hu Lai like in his previous confrontations with Hu Lai.
This frail-looking boy was spreading his arms, keeping one hand on his chest while maintaining balance.
Not only was he not pushed away by himself, but he also took a shot!
Before Wu Yue could react, Hu Lai had already shot the football towards the Jiaxiang High School goal!
Fortunately, their goalkeeper Zhou Yang was very focused. He swooped sideways and knocked the football out of the baseline with one punch!
This shot caused the Jiaxiang High School students in the stands to scream in surprise, and the previous boos stopped abruptly.
※※※
Seeing that he failed to score, Hu Lai seemed very upset. He put his head in his hands, knelt on the ground, and shouted to the sky.
It looked like he just missed the best opportunity in the game.
Wu Yue turned around and gave a thumbs up to goalkeeper Zhou Yang, praising him for his good save just now.
But Wang Guangwei in the stands frowned and did not look relaxed because Hu Lai's goal failed.
This guy...
The first shot he took after playing in last year's final didn't even hit the goal frame. This time, under Wu Yue's pressure, he was able to shoot such a high-quality goal. If Zhou Yang hadn't performed stably, he might have scored a goal just now.
He suddenly became less confident that his successor Wu Yue could guard Hu Lai. (End of chapter)
