football is not round

Next time:
Mengxi Stadium is still in the fifth round of the National Men's Football League A match. The two sides of the match are Shengcheng PIP Football Club and Shenbei Team of the same city.

In the second half, the two sides were still evenly matched, and the scene was tense, but the score was still two to three, with the Shenbei team leading.

During the intermission, Governor Chen's secretary tested the intention of Shengcheng football team's home relocation, and Nuan Xiaoxi, after simple thinking and Zhu Guangliang's confirmation with Secretary Wu in the province, decided that Zhu Guangliang would continue to promote and communicate about the home relocation.

The tense atmosphere in the stadium did not affect Nuan Xiaoxi and their communication.

Li Jinyu and Sister Mao infected Governor Chen, who was gradually inclined to compete, and began to feel anxious about the passiveness of the situation.

While admiring the game, Zhu Guangliang and Governor Chen's secretary exchanged work, and at the same time enhanced the friendship between the two.

While Nuan Xiaoxi and Ma Feifei were chatting and flirting, it was confirmed that Ma Feifei would go to Xiaolian City Real Estate Company to take charge of it for a period of time.And Ma Feifei got Nuan Xiaoxi to buy a house for Ma Feifei with real money from her own pocket.

The time on the court was passing by every minute and every second. The head coach of the Shengcheng team stopped shouting and went back to the bench to communicate with the coach beside him.The interpreter yelled a few words into the field and returned to the side of the substitute Piruk, also looking at the tactical board.

After a while, all the substitute players trained by the Shengcheng team returned to the bench. A young central defender named Li Weifeng, a young player who had just been promoted from the youth team in the new season, began to change into the game uniform.

Li Weifeng's mother, who had been paying attention to her son in the stands, pushed her husband beside her, "Look, is Xiaofeng going to play?"

Seeing Li Weifeng's father who was fascinated, he didn't look back, "How is it possible, the score is behind now."

Li Weifeng's mother pushed Li Weifeng's father again, and pointed to the Shengcheng team's bench opposite the stand: "Look, isn't Xiaofeng changing clothes? He's wearing a game uniform."

Hearing this sentence, Li Weifeng's father quickly turned his head and looked seriously in the direction Li Weifeng's mother pointed, "Yo, that's true."

When Li Weifeng's father saw the scene in front of him, he was also taken aback, "What is the coach doing?" He blurted out unconsciously.

"Why do you still look down on my son?" Li Weifeng's mother saw Li Weifeng running towards the head coach Pi Luke while getting dressed.Now Li Weifeng's mother didn't feel anything, she forgot the anxiety of falling behind in the score, and the nervousness of the scene, only the pride of her son going to play.

"What's the matter? Wouldn't you be scolded if you lost the game?" Li Weifeng's father said anxiously. After all, men are relatively rational at this time.

"Why scold my son? Isn't it behind now?"

"It's 10 minutes now, and Chen Lei hasn't taken the last substitution quota yet!"

"What's the matter? If he wins, he will definitely win?"

"Don't change the offense, change the guard? Is this to win? Or to train your son?"

"It's none of my son's business to lose." Even if he doesn't like football, because Li Weifeng has watched football for ten years, Li Weifeng's mother knows how to take penalties, but women are sometimes stubborn.At this time, Li Weifeng's mother was also uneasy, and she complained about Pi Luke's decision.

"Damn! Awesome!" Nuan Xiaoxi blurted out loudly when she accidentally discovered that Li Weifeng was running towards the head coach Pi Luke while putting on his clothes.

Li Jinyu beside Nuan Xiaoxi also noticed this move, and said in a hoarse voice, "Old Pi is Old Pi!"

"What's the matter?" Sister Mao, who didn't notice this detail, heard Nuan Xiaoxi's swear words and also heard the emotion of the club's general manager Li Jinyu, and asked quickly, for fear of missing a detail.

Governor Chen doesn't know much about football, but he can understand such simple details.Although it wasn't the first time he saw it, Nuan Xiaoxi's loud voice made him discover Li Weifeng's movements. "I like your foreign coach, I really like it! You see, the last card is the Li Weifeng expected by the public." Governor Chen pointed Sister Mao in the direction of Piluke.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Guangliang also asked in search of a voice?

"Li Weifeng is going to play." Sister Mao also saw it.

"Awesome, domestic coaches wouldn't do this!" Governor Chen's secretary gave a thumbs up, admiring coach Piruk's determination to use young players at critical moments.

"Old Pi is also running out of cards," Li Jinyu explained.

"That's right. After all, Ike is not a player who is good at headers like James. If he can't win the first point, and the second point is not enough to grab the point, it will be difficult to convert this advantage into a victory." Governor Chen also sighed.

"Yeah, now Li Weifeng goes ahead to grab the first point. Ike himself can attract the defense, and his ability to grab points is still strong, so the second advantage can be magnified." After all, Li Jinyu is a former international footballer and a top domestic striker, pointing to the professional commentary on the field.

"The winger who can pass and attack has a big advantage now. Just now, the advantage of passing and grabbing points is not great. Now the probability of breakthrough and passing is the same. Besides, if Ike doesn't grab the first point, he can pull out of the penalty area when he responds to the wing." Sister Cat spoke on the sidelines.

"Yeah, there are more choices now." Governor Chen also followed up with heated discussions.

"Is it that exaggerated?" Ma Feifei asked Nuan Xiaoxi in a low voice after listening to everyone's comments.

"Football? Winning is a wise decision. Losing, just scold you." Nuan Xiaoxi explained.

"Hehe..." Ma Feifei laughed softly.

In fact, Nuan Xiaoxi didn't feel much about this substitution. He felt that the taller one just grabbed a header.As for the outcome?Nuan Xiaoxi didn't have much confidence.Looking at the sick number on the rostrum, James, Ma Fei, and Zhang Jing were troubled.

Fortunately, several players on the rostrum looked anxiously at the stadium, and even Ma Fei, who was sitting beside Di Li, was not joking.Seeing this, at least Nuan Xiaoxi didn't feel any stomachache.

On the rostrum, Ma Fei, the left back of the Shengcheng team, used broken English to exchange views with the former World Footballer foreign aid James. Occasionally, Di Li, who graduated from a prestigious university, helped translate.As the game progressed, James took the trouble to give Ma Fei pointers on technical details.Even Zhang Jing on the side felt that he had benefited a lot when he could understand a few words occasionally.In the subsequent daily training, James also guided these young players more.

Regarding Li Weifeng who is about to play, James has no special opinion.This young central defender often competes with himself during the usual team training, so James knows more about this young man than others.At this time, Pi Luke dared to boldly use Li Weifeng, which also had something to do with James' private recommendation. After the training, Pi Luke and James, who are both British compatriots, had a lot of exchanges.

Zhang Jing was very happy to see Li Weifeng, who came out of the youth team at the same time as him, play. After all, there was a classmate friendship in it, and he felt that his group of people finally had the opportunity to stand on the court and prove themselves.

For Ma Fei, who has just transferred from the Super League to the First Division, he hopes that his team will win and advance to the Super League sooner.

Di Li on the side didn't know much about the game on the field, but occasionally asked James a few words about Li Weifeng's appearance.And James gave Dilly unreserved advice, which made Dilly more confident in her post-match interview.

The perspective returns to the coaching bench of the Shengcheng team, where Piruk is sitting as the head coach.The assistant coach next to him pointed to the tactical board on Pi Luke's leg to give directions to Li Weifeng who was attached to him, while the interpreter knelt on one knee next to Li Weifeng's ear and kept translating.The assistant coach in the team is mainly responsible for the team's offense, so the specific instructions before playing are usually the assistant coach's responsibility.

After the assistant coach gave instructions, he put away the tactical board on the head coach Piluk's lap.Pi Luke, who had been staring at the tactical board and listening to the assistant coach Li Weifeng pointing out, also pulled down his clothes and stood up.Piluke put his arms around Li Weifeng and whispered in his ear the few Chinese he had just learned:
"Li, I like you."

"Well," Li Weifeng nodded while tucking his jersey into his shorts.

"Rush boldly." Piluke continued, and then patted Li Weifeng.

"Ok!"

"Get rid of him." Piluk withdrew his hand after speaking.

The translator came from the side: "Come on."

On the field, after the Shenbei team intercepted in midfield, the Shengcheng team counterattacked on the spot. Li Xu, who played in the second half, ran a wide range and was active.I saw that Jose was under pressure, the pass made a mistake, and the ball went out of the sideline.

The line referee first raised it to point in the direction of the Shenbei team's goal, and then raised the flag with both hands to signal the referee.The referee blew his whistle and pointed to the center line of the sideline, indicating a substitution.

At this time, the fourth referee on the sidelines also raised a light board to indicate the substitution, and at the same time, the radio of Mengxi Stadium also broadcast: "Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club applies for a substitution, No. 14 Li Ping exits, No. [-] Li Weifeng enters."

Normally, when a more well-known player is replaced, the fans on the sidelines will beat the drums and cheer, but now many players who are playing at such a critical moment are not particularly experienced fans. They don't know who Li Weifeng is.Many fans saw Li Weifeng running directly to the penalty area of ​​the Shenbei team after he came on the field, thinking that this was another young center newly promoted by the team.

The couple with sweaty palms in the stands looked anxiously at Li Weifeng who ran to the restricted area of ​​the Shenbei team;
Looking at Li Weifeng who once lived in the same room on the rostrum, Zhang Jing also clenched his fists excitedly;

On the balcony of the box in the stadium, Li Jinyu clenched his fists and shouted: "Come on, Li Weifeng!" Even the fans in the stands were attracted by this shout and looked back at the balcony of the box.

In front of a television set in a family in Xiaolian City, an old man who had passed his sixtieth age sat on the sofa and watched a close-up of Li Weifeng in the camera.

Sitting on the seat of the head coach of the Shengcheng football team, Pi Luke also rested his elbows on his knees and looked into the stadium with his chin resting on his hands.At this moment, Piruk had finished playing the last card in his hand, and the tactics were arranged, and everything was just waiting.

On the field, the captain of the Shengcheng team signaled to his teammates, raised his arms high and waved forward, signaling that all of them should attack.On the court, Li Weifeng ran to Ike and whispered something in a low voice, then pointed to the middle circle, and Ike nodded to Li Weifeng.

The Shengcheng team sent a sideline kick, and the Shengcheng team's style of play has changed significantly.Ike, who had been in the penalty area of ​​the Shenbei team before, pulled out from time to time and ran outside the penalty area to meet his teammates, while Li Weifeng kept running in the penalty area of ​​the Shenbei team.

The fans in the East Stand on the stand still kept standing and watching the whole game, but many fans had already sat down as the game became anxious and they could not see the opportunity.And the sporadic abuse began to increase, and from time to time I could hear scolding directed at Nuan Xiaoxi.

Governor Chen's secretary, who didn't watch the game very much, heard the abuse, and occasionally glanced at Nuan Xiaoxi secretly.Nuan Xiaoxi was still looking at the stadium with a blank expression, as if she couldn't hear her.He couldn't see Nuan Xiaoxi's anxiety, nor his anger when he heard the abuse.

In the stadium, the Shengcheng team gradually controlled the midfield after the overall formation of the Shenbei team was withdrawn, and the defense line was suppressed within the Shenbei team's half.The high balls from both sides kept passing to the Shenbei team's penalty area. The Shenbei team's last three substitutions had also been used up, and the players with strong high ball defensive ability were also concentrated in their own penalty area.

A commentary voice came from the TV set of a family in Xiaolian City:

"Director Tong, you see that the adjustments on both sides are over now, does the Shengcheng team still have a chance?" the commentator on the TV asked another commentator, Director Tong.

"Now is the time to test whether the Shengcheng team is a strong team. This kind of headwind ball is the time to test the willpower of the players. If the ball can be won in the end, it will also be of great help to the young people playing." Director Tong explained.

"Yeah, the last substitution for Piruk this time is also for the newly promoted central defender Li Weifeng. What do you think of this substitution?"

"Well, now it seems that it should be used as a standing center, responsible for grabbing the first point. Judging from the current scene effect, it still meets Pi Luke's requirements. There are at least two high points in the penalty area, and Li Qingcheng and Ike's changing positions at any time disrupted the rhythm of Shen Bei's marking."

"Yes, Yang Xu kept the pressure inside. When Ike is pulling outside the penalty area, the central defender of the Shenbei team obviously doesn't know whether to follow." The commentator continued.

"Yes, if you follow up, Li Qingcheng's entry into the penalty area will easily cause a gap in the midfield's defense. Li Tie has a long shot. If you don't follow up, Ike has no one to watch, and the ball is very threatening. Just now Ike shot a long shot from the front of the penalty area and brushed the crossbar. It is very threatening." Director Tong analyzed it tactically.

"But now the Shenbei team has retreated across the board, the penalty area is full of people, and Shengcheng's offensive pressure is also great."

"In modern football, defense doesn't depend on the number of people. The main thing is the position and zone defense. If you can't see it, you will still lose the ball. At least now that the Shengcheng team has a high point in the Shenbei team's penalty area, and the Shenbei team will have two or three people nearby to watch Li Weifeng. At this time, Ike can move back and forth in and out of the penalty area. Once he runs out of space, or hits a quality long-range shot, it is an opportunity."

The TV is explaining enthusiastically, and changes have quietly taken place in Mengxi Stadium.At this time, after the Shengcheng team has rich offensive methods, the Shenbei team can only rely on crowd tactics to defend exhaustedly.The Shengcheng team's midfielder Li Qingcheng's chances to get the ball in the middle were greatly increased. Li Qingcheng pushed forward with the ball in the middle, while the forward of the Shenbei team did not press forward and followed Li Qingcheng at a distance of two meters.

Li Qingcheng ran to the right with the ball, glanced at Yu Han who was already on the right, and Yu Hanxin understood and ran to the middle and took away the original defensive players of the Shenbei team.Li Qingcheng suddenly dribbled the ball to speed up, sticking to the right sideline and dribbling towards the bottom line.Because the defensive players of the Shenbei team who followed were far away, it had been 10 minutes now, and their physical fitness was relatively poor, so they were thrown away by Li Qingcheng.

Li Qingcheng continued to cut inward with the ball and walked towards the Shenbei team's penalty area, and the Shenbei team's supplementary players were also quickly in place.Li Qingcheng had already reached the bottom line of the opponent's penalty area. He made an emergency stop and threw away Shen Bei's supplementary defender, and then lobbed his left foot into the middle.

Seeing that the center of the Shenbei team was full of players from both sides, Li Weifeng jumped high and competed for the header.The defensive players of the Shenbei team still grabbed the header in front of Li Weifeng to clear the siege, but unfortunately they didn't go too far.

The football was pushed out of the penalty area by the Shenbei team. Yu Han, who was outside the penalty area, volleyed before the ball hit the ground.pity. . .The ball was kicked too squarely.The goalkeeper of the Shenbei team jumped up, but he barely saved the ball that was flying to his right.Look at Li Weifeng in the penalty area, although he is tall and burly, but he made a supplementary shot very smartly and scored the goal. . .

The moment the ball hit the net, the stadium once again erupted into shouts and celebrations that had been suppressed for a long time, and then the stands once again remembered in unison:

"Boom boom boom" "Li Weifeng."

"Boom boom boom" "Li Weifeng."

"Boom boom boom" "Li Weifeng."

"Boom boom boom" "Li Weifeng."

"Boom boom boom" "Li Weifeng."

. . . . . .

Only the radio in the stadium began to play loudly: "Shengcheng picture-in-picture football team scored a goal, and the score is now [-] to [-]. The goal is..." When the radio lengthened, the fans in the stands shouted in unison: "Li Weifeng!". . .

Li Weifeng's parents stood nervously in the stands. They didn't see who scored the goal at all when they first scored.But they also cheered, and when they heard Li Weifeng's name shouted from the stands, the two embraced excitedly and celebrated heartily.

The old man who passed sixty years ago on the TV of a family in Xiaolian City was also very excited, but facing the draw, the old man did not express anything too much.

There were also cheers on the balcony of Nuan Xiaoxi's box in Mengxi Stadium.

"Good job Li Weifeng." Governor Chen praised Li Jinyu.

"Hehe..." Li Jinyu followed Shale, and the nervousness just now eased a lot.

Nuan Xiaoxi still had a square face, without any expression, and couldn't see the goal just now.

After scoring the goal, the head coach of the Shengcheng team, Pi Luke, quickly got up and stood up to celebrate briefly, and the translator ran to the sidelines again, waving his hands to signal that he should return to the half court and continue to attack.

Piruk held up his left hand and pointed at his watch with his right.

Yes, the game time on the court has now reached 85 minutes.

The team's interpreter also shouted loudly: "Get back to defense, there are still 5 minutes..."

At this time, the head coach of the Shenbei team also stood up and signaled to the players on the field. He pressed his hands down to signal the players not to be impatient because of losing the ball.In fact, a draw for the Shenbei team in the away game is completely acceptable.

Li Weifeng of the Shengcheng football team in the stadium ran to the Shenbei team's goal immediately after scoring a goal, picked up the ball and ran back. He knew they needed a game victory.The teammates around him did not celebrate with Li Weifeng because of the atmosphere on the sidelines. They all ran to take pictures of Li Weifeng to signal, and then ran back to their half-court positions, ready to kick off.

After maybe 2 minutes, everyone stood in their positions. Captain Li Tie shouted: "One more." He waved to each player, and finally raised his left hand and raised his index finger.

At this time, the diehard fans in the East Stand and North Stand waved the team flag again, remembering the shouts:

"Boom boom boom" "Shengcheng!" "Enter one!"

"Boom boom boom" "Shengcheng!" "Enter one!"

"Boom boom boom" "Shengcheng!" "Enter one!"

"Boom boom boom" "Shengcheng!" "Enter one!"

"Boom boom boom" "Shengcheng!" "Enter one!"

. . . . . .

The big screen above the south side of Mengxi Stadium shows that the game time has been 10 minutes. At this time, the fourth referee on the sidelines also raised a light board, and the number above shows: three.

The broadcast of the stadium is also turned on again: "Second half stoppage time: 3 minutes."

Is it a draw?Or will the Shenbei team repeat last season's lore?Or the Shengcheng team's Jedi counterattack?

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.

This chapter is over.

Postscript (interlude, tidbits, extra episodes):

Although the competition in the stadium was fierce, the Shengcheng team was still behind by two to three, but on the balcony of the box, Nuan Xiaoxi was still in the mood to chat with Ma Feifei.

"Hey, your breasts are really big, what do you eat to grow so big?" Nuan Xiaoxi asked Ma Feifei in a low voice.

"You like it?" Ma Feifei teased.

"En." Nuan Xiaoxi nodded.

"True color."

"Is there any man who doesn't like big ones?"

"That's my girlfriend's boyfriend."

"Your girlfriend has small breasts, right?"

"Yes."

"Unless he's crazy and says he likes big ones." Nuan Xiaoxi expressed disdain, "But I'm still curious about how he got big. I heard that he drank soy milk before."

"Tch, you old man still care about this?"

"I'm just learning."

"Drink some master's iced tea."

"Pfft..." Nuan Xiaoxi spat out the big mouthful of iced black tea she just drank.

"It's okay, I drank it every day at that time." Ma Feifei patted Nuan Xiaoxi and said comfortingly.

"I have at least one bottle a day." Nuan Xiaoxi looked at her protruding chest.

"Hehe..." Ma Feifei covered her mouth and smiled. . . . . .
