Chinese champion

Chapter 27 World Cup Year
Pei Wei jumped out of the car and walked on the familiar road again.

The car sent him directly to the gate of the school. Although he really wanted to go to the bookstore, he saw from the car that the door of the bookstore was closed, probably not open yet.Pei Wei thought to himself.

He came a day earlier than the registration time, and there was no one in the school.

He went to the dormitory to put down his luggage, and sat alone bored, so he simply took the ball and came to the court, planning to practice the ball.

When he came to the field, he unexpectedly discovered that there was another person on the playground.

A football player.

He was just bouncing the ball casually, as if his attention was not focused on the ball, but the football was like a part of his body, even when he saw Pei Wei and nodded to him, the football was still on his feet. jumping up.

Pei Wei greeted him with a smile: "Hello."

The man said "En" and looked indifferent, Pei Wei was not angry, and started juggling the ball himself.

The two of them were silent, and jumped like a game. After half an hour, there was a little surprise in the eyes of the man, and he stopped the ball suddenly, and said, "You're doing a good job. "

Pei Wei smiled slightly, stepped on the ball, and stretched out his hand: "Pei Wei, the position is the midfielder."

The man shook Pei Wei's hand: "Zhong Yan, the forward position."

The two stood a little closer, only then did Pei Wei realize that Zhong Yan was taller than him, Pei Wei had grown a lot taller during this period, and his height was already close to 1.7 meters, but standing with Zhong Yan was even taller than him He is shorter, with a rebellious face all over his face. Although he is not strong, his muscles are very strong.

Zhong Yan said, "You are number 10 from last year? Sure enough, your skills are not bad."

Pei Wei smiled and said, "You are too much."

Zhong Yan let go of his hand: "Stop talking nonsense, come one-on-one? If you lose, your number 10 will be mine."

Pei Wei raised his eyebrows: "Okay, what if you lose?"

Zhong Yan said firmly: "From now on, you will be my boss, and I will do whatever you say."

"A gentleman's word?"

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

The one-on-one rule is very simple. Draw two white lines on the ground and take turns to attack with the ball. If you can pass the opponent's defense and bring the ball across the line, you will win. If the ball is intercepted by the defensive team, you will lose possession. Three points and he wins.

"Who will start first?" Pei Wei asked.

Zhong Yan waved his hand indifferently: "Whatever, you."

"Okay, I'm going to attack Luo."

"bring it on!"

Pei Wei took the ball slowly, Zhong Yan squatted down slightly, and looked at Pei Wei without blinking.

Pei Wei's eyes turned to the left, Zhong Yan was slightly distracted, and his center of gravity was a little bit to the left, Pei Wei suddenly accelerated, kicked the ball to the right with his left foot, followed by his right foot, and quickly passed from Zhong Yan's right Crossed over, and when Zhong Yan turned around, he had stopped the ball on the white line.

"So fast!" Zhong Yan couldn't help shouting.

Pei Wei handed him the ball and said with a smile, "It's your turn."

Zhong Yan started to attack with the ball, Pei Wei stuck it up, Zhong Yan's foot swipe the ball three times in a row, Pei Wei was a little dazzled for a while, Zhong Yan sent the ball past Pei Wei's crotch, and then accelerated past Pei Wei Wei, get back a round.

"Your speed is not bad, especially the acceleration." Pei Wei said with a smile.

"Be careful, or your No. 10 will be mine." Zhong Yan didn't accept his favor.

In the next two rounds, neither Pei Wei nor Zhong Yan could defend the opponent. After all, they were both offensive players and not very good at defense.

Pei Wei passed Zhong Yan's defense again and took the lead in scoring three points.

Zhong Yan was not discouraged, he still had another chance to attack.

He rushed to the left with the ball, Pei Wei followed closely, Zhong Yan stopped, his shoulders tilted to the right, Pei Wei stretched out his foot to grab the ball, Zhong Yan quickly knocked the ball to the left again with his heel, and broke through !
Zhong Yan was about to dribble the ball through the white line, when a foot suddenly stretched out from the side and poked the ball out!

Zhong Yan turned around and saw Pei Wei lying on the ground.

"You..." Zhong Yan couldn't accept his failure.

"In my opinion, Zhu Jun's excellence can confuse me more."

"Zhu Jun? Is that number 11?"

"Yes."

"Well, I'm willing to bet and admit defeat. I will do whatever you want me to do."

Pei Wei patted him on the shoulder: "You don't need to call me the boss, all you have to do is to shoot the ball I passed to you during the game, how about it?"

"Okay! As long as it is your pass in the future, I will definitely not waste it!"

In the afternoon, the school gradually became lively. First came the local team members, then Zhu Jun and Yao Le, then Zhao Lin and Li Tong, and finally Wu Qi.

When they met, they were very kind, teasing and greeting each other.

"Yao Le, you are getting fat, be careful, He Tou will give you a hell-style training!"

"Li Tong, you've lost weight! Did your family abuse you? Didn't they give you food?"

"Master Zhu, what good things did you bring? Do you have any of my brothers?"

"Wow, big man Wu, you seem to be taller again, it seems that the food in the countryside really supports people!"

"Pei Wei! You don't say hello when you come here, you just read there, be careful to be a nerd!"

"Zhao Lin, you're getting stronger. Didn't you go to the gym less at home?"

Pei Wei looked at his teammates who were fighting, and suddenly found that he was becoming more and more inseparable from this group.

He Jin is in a good mood recently.

Although last year's main force left four, Zhao Lin's growth has completely replaced Han Xiu. Two of the new players are defenders, Hu Bing. Although he is only 1.6 meters tall, he is full of hard work and fierce tackles , what is even more rare is that he is still a pure left-footed player, which is even better than the previous Zhou Bin. Li Hongwei, 1.7 meters tall, has an excellent header. He was originally from Liaoning. Well, it's just that they don't have enough experience and need to be cultivated. Coupled with Yao Le's experience and Chang Feng's stability, this line of defense should be even better than last year.

As for Zhong Yan, what the team members don’t know is that he was actually a player of the Wuhan team the year before last, and his feeling in front of the goal is unique, that is, his temper is very irritable. After being expelled from the team, his temper seems to have calmed down a lot this time. He Jin also knows that a player like this is a firebox in the team, and he doesn't know when it will explode. The striker has been sinking like this. Fortunately, he is very convinced of Pei Wei now. I hope he can keep it like this.

Among the other two players, the striker Xia Yi and the midfielder Yuan Gong are not bad, and they are very suitable substitutes, especially Xia Yi, who provided protection for the Hubei team's weak forward line.

During the training, He Jin could see that Zhong Yan had already integrated into his tactical system very well. Whether it was cooperating with Li Tong or passing the ball in the midfield, he was becoming more and more proficient. Coupled with his height and acceleration, With him, the Hubei team's offense can be said to have an extra terminator.

On the back line, following the teaching games every day, especially when He Jin consciously let the offensive players of the main team face the defensive players of the main team, Li Hongwei and Hu Bing made very fast progress. happy in my heart.

From spring to summer, the weather is gradually getting hotter, and the training of the Hubei team has also begun to increase. This year, the Wuhan team played very well in the A-B league. Due to the change of the competition system this year, the top four in A-B can all be Rushing into A, so this year the Wuhan team is likely to enter the ranks of A after the league.

This year is also the year to hit the World Cup once every four years. In the group stage, facing three underdogs, the Chinese team was invincible. They beat Turkmenistan 4:1, Tajikistan 1:0, and Vietnam 3:1. , returned to the home court to beat Turkmenistan 1:0 and draw Tajikistan 0:0. The qualifying is in sight. After beating Vietnam 6:22 at home on June 4, the Chinese team successfully entered the top ten in Asia , After the group draw, they were divided into a group with four West Asian teams. The opponents were Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait.

The competition will start in September, so the National Youth Competition will be held in Dalian in July, and the schedule has also been greatly shortened. Last year's competition system was changed to an elimination system. Among the 24 teams, last year's eight Qiang had a bye in the first round, and the remaining sixteen teams fought each other, and the winner entered the quarter-finals.

"What kind of trick is this?" He Jin paced back and forth in the conference room, "Football should start from the baby, this is Comrade Xiaoping's instruction, although his old man is not very good at football, but this sentence is true. It’s a truth! If there is no youth team, how can there be an adult team? This is good, at least we could play six or seven games last year. Even if we were eliminated, we could still play at least three games, right? This is a real game. The effect may be better than a month of training camp! It’s good now, some teams will go home after a game, isn’t this a joke!”

Lao Zhao comforted him: "Oh, why do you care so much? The Football Association's regulations are so lax. This year is the year of the World Cup. Let's start with the overall situation."

"Short-sighted, this is called short-sightedness. The development of football cannot be solved by entering the World Cup. What is needed is a good league atmosphere and the cultivation of young people! Don't you know the pyramid theory? These guys from the Football Association, will they Use your head to think about the problem!"

After venting for a while, he calmed down and asked Lao Zhao, "When is the competition starting?"

Lao Zhao replied: "July NO.15, there are still 20 days to go."

"Okay, inform the players that starting today, we will conduct [-] days of physical training to reserve sufficient physical strength, and then three days of recovery training. We will go to Dalian five days in advance."

"Ok."

That night, Pei Wei came to the bookstore again. Today is Saturday, and Marco is still helping in the bookstore.

"Are you going to play a game?" Marco asked.

"Yes, I'm going to Dalian. I'm going to take the train tomorrow. I'm afraid it will take about ten days." Pei Wei replied.

"Oh, it's a pity that I can't cheer for you guys. Dalian is too far away. If we fight in Wuhan sometime, I will definitely bring our whole class to cheer for you!"

"I got it, I got it." Pei Wei liked chatting with Ma Ke'er more and more, and what made him happy was that Ma Ke'er seemed to like chatting with him too.

After bidding farewell to Ma Keer, Pei Wei set foot on the westbound train with his teammates the next day.
