football era

"We've been waiting a year for this game."

Before the start of the game, the players from both sides shook hands, and Liu Bang's first confrontation was of course the Overlord - the two captains.

"Well...it seems that I shouldn't say that to me." Compared with Liu Bang, Bawang didn't seem to have the demeanor of a captain at all.

"You are the captain of the Bawang team." Liu Bang said.

"Of course, so, even though I shouldn't say this to me, I'll follow suit!" Overlord waved his fist and said loudly.

"Very good." Liu Bang smiled.

Next, the players from both sides shook hands separately. Of course, most of the Western Han players were staring at Zheng Qi—they lost to Zheng Qi last year...

Of course, there were also those who looked at Lu Xiaotian. Several defenders of the West Han team were looking at Lu Xiaotian. They knew that Lu Xiaotian would be their opponent in this game.

As a shooter who has scored a hat-trick in every game in the previous games, he is of course the biggest opponent of their defenders.

The most troublesome thing about such an opponent is that his strength is bottomless. Just like now, the defenders of the West Han team know that Chen Fengxiao is a very good opponent, but it is not clear how good he can be.

The handshake part went very quickly, and a large number of spectators had poured into the stands—the West Han team is a veteran team, and of course they have a lot of fans. The effect won't just disappear within a year.

As an emerging force in the past two years, the Overlords have also gained a lot of popularity in the short term. In fact, they did not attract too much attention when they entered the quarterfinals the year before last. Although they stopped in the group stage last year, they attracted quite a few fans. , coupled with Lu Xiaotian's miraculous and coquettish performance this year, has attracted a large number of fans, and their support rate has also increased a lot.

In fact, the qualifiers in China have reached the top 32, and the number of fans attracted is quite a lot. Although the number of fans of classical football is relatively small compared with the fans of the current football era, the absolute number is tens of millions. In addition, it is easy to watch the game, so there are still a lot of fans in such a level of competition. Coupled with the attraction of both sides, the number of fans entering the game immediately reached the million level, which surprised Ba Wang and others.

Zheng Qi was also a little surprised.

Although there are tens of millions of spectators in the professional games he participated in, due to the characteristics of the football era, the field is completely closed, so players can only analyze how many people support him and how many people are supporting him through the lights above the field. People support each other, although everyone has gotten used to it after so many years, but there is still some regret.

But now, Zheng Qi began to feel the atmosphere of the playing field.

In the stands, the cheers of countless people converged into a torrent. In reality, it would be impossible for millions of fans to gather in one stadium, but it became possible in the game. Of course, in the game, The sound wave is huge, and it will not affect people's health. The game's protection system will automatically filter the sound and maintain the sound at a level that is enough to make people feel trembling, but has no effect.

But still enough to make people feel shocked.

Zheng Qi took a deep breath, which was also an extremely rare experience for him.

"In the past ten days, I have been a little addicted to this kind of competition atmosphere." Lu Xiaotian suddenly sent a private chat to Zheng Qi.

"Understandable." Zheng Qi replied.

"Let's start, let's go to the competition!" Lu Xiaotian clapped his hands and said loudly to the Bawang players.

He is not the captain of Overlord, but at this moment, what he showed is what a captain should do.

Bawang and the others seemed to have no objection to this, they seemed to be used to it...

Zheng Qi chuckled, he knew Lu Xiaotian's captain style, he might seem a bit naive in private, but when he got on the court, he could immediately become a captain who inspired his teammates to fight.

This person said no, but actually cared about this competition very much...

The game is about to start. For the players of the West Han team, they have a lot to prove in this game.

As an excellent shooter, Han Xin wants to prove that he is better than the guy on the opposite side who is making a hat-trick every game, Zhang Liang wants to find the place where he lost to Zheng Qi last year, and Liu Bang wants to prove that his team is better than Ba ​​Wang. The team is even better.

This is the source of their fighting spirit. Although any team will not only compete for a certain opponent, it is common for them to have more fighting spirit when facing certain opponents.

This is the situation of the West Han team now.

So after the start of the game, the West Han team, which took the lead to kick off, immediately launched a fierce attack!

The West Han team was originally a team that was better at defending. However, just because they are good at defending does not mean that they cannot attack. Especially after observing the performance of the Bawang team last year, they knew that it is difficult to deal with the Bawang team by relying on defense. .

No matter how good their defense is, it is impossible not to reveal a little flaw. The development of classical football for so many years has proved that in the game, offense is always easier than defense, because the current players are stronger and have better impact. , The practice of defending this kind of defense that cannot tolerate mistakes is very passive on the court.

Although the West Han team is good at defense, it is only relatively speaking. Under such circumstances, they can only use offense to deal with the Overlord, which is what they want to do most.

They succeeded quickly.

Under Zhang Liang's dispatch, Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo on both sides also began to take turns to respond in the middle. Their offensive lineup was already very flexible. Although Han Xin was the top scorer, Fan Kui and Zhou Bo's cover was also very important.

Coupled with Chen Ping and Cao Shen's continuous advances, the two full backs Xia Houying and Zhang Er also continued to create opportunities from the two wings. Their offenses were varied and threatening.

The defenders of the Bawang team were caught off guard by the opponent from the very beginning.

After a change of position, Zhang Liang came to the side, and then raised his foot to pass the ball to the center. Chen Ping, who advanced forward, did not stop the ball, and directly sent the ball to Fan Kui in the penalty area. When Huan Chu went up to block Fan Kui, Fan Kuai made a beautiful dodge, he didn't stop the ball, but missed the ball under his feet, Han Xin appeared behind him at the first time, facing the flying ball was a deft challenge Shot, the ball went over Fan Zeng's armpit and into the net!
One to zero!In less than 1 minute of the opening, the West Han team took the lead in scoring!

The fans of the West Han team in the stands cheered loudly, while the fans of the Bawang team were a little dumbfounded-how did we lose the ball so quickly, we haven't even realized it yet...

"Compared with last season, their offensive rhythm is much faster. It doesn't matter if they are fast, but they can still maintain precision when they are fast, which is amazing." Zheng Qi couldn't help but praise.

He had a deep impression on the West Han team. After all, this was the first top team he encountered in a classical football game. Although he led the Bawang team to win that game, Zheng Qi had to admit that , if it weren't for some luck factors, the Overlords wouldn't have been able to win...

The West Han team suffered a loss in that game. They did not expect that a team that they easily beat [-]-[-] last year would immediately become stronger in certain aspects after changing a player.

And now the West Han team will obviously not make such mistakes again.

"However, we are not the same now as before." Overlord said sternly.

"Oh, you have a lot of fighting spirit." Zheng Qi looked at him in surprise.

Overlord's face flushed: "We have improved a lot last year and this year, and there are two more of you..."

"Stop talking nonsense, fight back." Lu Xiaotian said coldly.

It seems that the players of the Overlord team are also used to Lu Xiaotian being completely different on and off the court. They didn't show any surprise at all. Instead, they waved their fists and shouted twice, dispersed with high morale, ready to fight back up.

"There is a way, one word makes everyone scream." Zheng Qi said.

"Of course, you have only been captain for a few days? I have been for many years." Lu Xiaotian coolly replied: "Remember to pass the ball to me."

"Just take a look." Zheng Qi said.

After re-kick-off, Overlord immediately launched a counterattack.

Zheng Qi stopped the ball at his feet and then dribbled forward.

Last year, he actually seldom controlled the ball, but continued to connect the team through running and passing, but now, he has changed a lot.

The West Han team sits in the midfield and starts to defend. Although they will be more offensive in this game, they will not lose the characteristics of defense. At least the opponent will spend more energy when attacking, which is also a good thing for them. .

Zheng Qi ran into Zhang Liang within a few steps of taking the ball forward. Zheng Qi didn't get entangled with the opponent. Instead, he saw Zhang Liang coming up and passed the ball smoothly to Ying Bu who followed up.

"This kind of delivery is not up to standard."

Zhang Liang couldn't help complaining, in fact, it was still like this, this kind of transmission was actually the same meaning, there was no suddenness, and there was no threat.

"How can there be so many wonderful passes." Zheng Qi replied, and then ran horizontally and received a return pass from Yingbo. Then, without warning, he lifted his foot and sent a pass that crossed the entire half of the West Han team. Diagonal pass!
This was not a direct pass, but a direct pass to the corner of the penalty area. Lu Xiaotian, who changed positions, ran to that position and grabbed the ball in front of Zhang Er.

Zhang Er rushed over from the side and wanted to intercept Lu Xiaotian's breakthrough. Xiao He also directed General Pu to make up for it at any time. It blocked their replacement route, and also blocked Xiao He's line of sight...

The next moment, Lu Xiaotian broke through Zhang Er!
This was a forced turn and breakthrough. Lu Xiaotian took a step with the ball, then abruptly rushed past Zhang Er, caught up with the ball in two strides, and immediately swung his right foot and shot!
Liu Bang tensed his body, but when he flew to save, he realized that the angle of the shot seemed to deviate from the goal...

The next moment, he heard a brushing sound coming from behind him!
