All-around substitute

Chapter 9 Deja Vu
Although the match between Red Star and Hang Seng was not a strong dialogue, because of the No. 46 goal, it occupied the headlines of the media, and various newspapers reported the situation that night in a large space.

In major online forums, experts and famous writers have expressed their views.Most of them believe that No. 46 is too unprofessional.What's more, they demanded that No. 46 be blocked.Of course, there are also experts who intercede for No. 46, thinking that 46 is a young player, and it is inevitable that he will be superior.Netizens didn't buy it, and they all left messages under him, greetings frantically!Experts had no choice but to close comments and delete messages.

In the face of public opinion, the Football Association was unwilling to wade into the muddy water, simply expressing unsupported opinions and then nothing further. Netizens were dissatisfied and ran to the Football Association's official website to leave messages, which once paralyzed the Football Association's official website.

Knowing that there will be a game between the Red Star Reserve Team and the Hang Seng Reserve Team in the afternoon, people from nearby flocked to the Hang Seng Base, and some even started a live webcast.

All this is unknown to the Red Star reserve team, which is relatively isolated from the outside world.

After a night of adjustments, the players of the Red Star reserve team are waiting for Li Yi to announce the starting list.Everyone has a strong desire to fight, hoping to avenge the shame of the first team.

While outside the locker room, Li Yi was pestered by reporters who rushed to do interviews, and the content of the questions were all related to the No. 46 goal last night.

"Director Li, I wonder if Red Star will appeal to the Football Association!"

"We'll do research."

"We learned that No. 46 will start, so can this game be defined as a battle of shame?"

"No no no, it's just a reserve game."

"That…"

"I'm busy, go interview other people!"

"Guide Li! Guidance Li!..."

After perfunctory reporters, Li Yi came to the locker room.

Facing more than a dozen pairs of fiery eyes, Li Yi calmed down and let out a deep breath.

"Thanks to No. 46, the media are paying close attention to our match!" Li Yi smiled wryly.

"I hope you can treat it with a normal heart and don't bring emotions. This is just a reserve team game."

"Lee directed me to have no emotions, I just want to play!"

The players don't have the mood like Li Yi's. They say they have no emotions but their anger is written all over their faces.

"Okay! If you don't want to play! I won't force you, but don't drag the team! You are a Red Star player, and you represent that Red Star is not an individual! Li Yi was dissatisfied and reprimanded loudly."

"I..." The speaking player felt aggrieved, turned his head and sat back in his seat and stopped talking.

Because of the friction between Li Yi and the players, the other players lowered their heads and did not speak. The atmosphere in the lounge was calm and weird.

"Okay! Let me say the first one!"

"Wang Bo, Fu Xinran, Li Yong, Wang Weitao, Jia Sheng..."

As soon as Li Yi announced the starting players, the players turned their attention to Li Yi again, expecting to be able to read their names.

Xu Zangyi is also eager to appear on the stage, but considering that he has only participated in two joint trainings before, tacit understanding is a major obstacle to whether he can play, but Xu Zangyi still has hope.

"Goalkeeper, Zhang Tao!" After Li Yi announced the last starting player, there was no Xu Zangyi.

Xu Zangyi was a little disappointed, but he could understand Li Yi's choice.

Using the remaining time, Li Yi repeatedly explained the tactical strategy to his teammates, which is to defend and counterattack! …

……

Coming from the locker room to the training ground, as Li Yi said, there were many people around the training ground, except for some media who watched the excitement.Because it was not an open day, these people could only watch the situation inside the venue from outside the barbed wire.

On the sidelines, the Hang Seng staff refused to allow the photographers to continue shooting after the reporter finished interviewing the head coach of the reserve team.

When players from both sides entered the field, whistles sounded from time to time outside the training field, and there were also many voices of support for the Red Star.

Xu Zangyi didn't know if these people were real fans, maybe they were here to watch the excitement, but at the moment they were on the Red Star side.

No. 46, who appeared on the stage, naturally became the focus of attention, whether it was the boos off the field or the killing eyes of the red star players on the field.No. 46, who attracted hatred, was not affected too much, and made provocative actions to the sidelines from time to time.

Substitute players who did not enter the starting list came to the sidelines to sit on the bench.Because his roommates were all on the court, Xu Zangyi sat next to his former co-training teammate Du Yunfeng, who looked a bit cold.

"Short boy!" Du Yunfeng cursed while staring at the arena.

Xu Zangyi naturally knew who his teammates were scolding, and looked back, and happened to meet Du Yunfeng's eyes.

"What are you looking at?" Du Yunfeng said angrily.

"It's nothing, why are you still angry?" Xu Zangyi asked with a smile.

"Aren't you angry?" Du Yunfeng rolled his eyes.

"Of course I'm angry, but I know it's useless to be angry. It's what you need to get revenge!" Xu Zangyi pointed to his head.

"Hmph! Du Yunfeng snorted coldly." He stopped talking, because he knew what Xu Zangyi said was very reasonable.

Seeing that his teammates stopped talking, Xu Zangyi turned his attention to the field. …

……

The reserve team is different from the official game, and there are not so many links.After simply picking sides, the game officially begins.

The crowd watching the excitement outside the court also cooperated very well. The referee started cheering as soon as the whistle blew. Of course, the Red Star is the side that is supported.

Hang Seng, who is stronger, did not seem to be particularly adaptable after the opening.Maybe it's because at home, it's the visiting team that receives the cheers.

Not long after the opening, Red Star got a good chance. Jia Sheng broke through the defense and made a pass from the side. Liu Haiming headed the ball high under the interference of the defender.

The start was good, Liu Haiming's header excited the teammates on the sidelines, and the crowd outside the field were also rejoicing.

Xu Zangyi was off the court and deliberately turned on the commentary mode, but this time the audience seemed not very interested.If Liu Haiming and the others knew that Xu Zangyi could also predict in advance from a parallel perspective, they would definitely worship Xu Zangyi as a god.

But Du Yunfeng didn't like it very much, he felt that talking is always better than looking good! …

……

After being pressed for about ten minutes, Hang Seng seemed to wake up.The passing and cutting mistakes dropped sharply, and Jia Sheng's breakthrough was not as sharp as the opening.The midfielder headed by No. 46 started to counterattack the Red Star after solid defense.

Jia Sheng was forced to the sideline, and there were defensive players on the left and right who lost the space to break through. He glanced around from the corner of his eye, looking for the way out of the ball.

"Boy! Don't look, your teammates are being stared at! Hand over the ball obediently!" No. 46, facing Jia Sheng, said proudly.

Jia Sheng was not willing to hand over the ball easily, leaning against the opponent to get stuck, stepping on the ball with one foot to stay away from the opponent.

Seeing that Jia Sheng is in trouble, his teammates are active around Jia Sheng, hoping to take care of Jia Sheng.But for Hang Seng, who is determined to win the ball, he is marking everywhere and does not give the Red Star any room to respond.

"Jia Sheng give it to me!" Liu Haiming, who was unmarked, shouted at Jia Sheng.

"Idiot! With your back to you, how do you pass?" Seeing Liu Haiming asking for the ball behind Jia Sheng's back, Xu Zangyi scolded Liu Haiming for not using his brain.

Hearing the voice, Jia Sheng looked forward subconsciously.At this moment, No. 46 took advantage of Jia Sheng's distraction and stretched out his foot to hook the ball away.

"Damn it!" Jia Sheng cursed secretly when the ball was robbed of distraction.

After No. 46 got the ball, he ran all the way like a repeat of his old problem, basically ignoring his teammates.But this time he looked particularly confident, and the two-step bicycle easily passed the midfield interceptor.

Li Yong, the lion king who was guarding the defense, saw the midfielder fall.After arranging other teammates in the back line to make up for the position, he pushed out of the penalty area to the defensive position where the midfielder should have been, and intercepted No. 46.

Seeing that the defender pushed out, No. 46 wanted to continue to break through, but the coach on the sidelines kept shouting to distribute the ball, so he was reluctant to distribute the ball.

Seeing the ball flying out, Li Yong kicked a few steps hard, slid the tackle sideways, and blocked the ball back!
The pass was blocked, No. 46 was furious!Ignoring the coach's instructions any longer, I vowed to get past the guard in front of me!

The ball returned to the foot of No. 46, held the ball on the outside of the right foot, and continued to advance to the right.Li Yong bowed slightly to maintain his center of gravity, and moved to his left.

Seeing that the defender's footsteps were not chaotic, No. 46 accelerated to the right, trying to overtake from the left of Li Yong.Li Yong didn't dare to neglect and followed closely.

When he got up to speed again, No. 46 suddenly kicked back the inside of his foot in the opposite direction. Li Yong couldn't react in time and slipped to the ground.

After breaking through Li Yong, No. 46 entered the penalty area and shot with his foot raised, and the defense defenders stretched out their feet to block.The ball changed its line continuously in the foot pile, and finally jumped into the net from the opposite direction of the goalkeeper's save.

"Alas!" Seeing the ball hit the net, Li Yong sat on the turf at the front of the penalty area and clapped his hands heavily.

After the goal, No. 46 raised his middle finger at the crowd outside the field.The reserve team game is not a league game, as long as there are no major mistakes, they will basically not be punished.

It's just that with the presence of the media today, things are hard to say.

"It's impossible to prevent!" Du Yunfeng was very dissatisfied when he saw that his team conceded a goal!

"Can you guard against it? Old Du!" Xu Zangyi imitated Jia Sheng's self-familiarity, and asked with one hand on Du Yunfeng's shoulder.

"Hehe!" Du Yunfeng sneered, motioning for Xu Zangyi to take his hand away.

"Um... alright. Seeing Du Yunfeng's serious expression, Xu Zangyi had no choice but to take his hands away.

"Although No. 46 is the most active on the court, he is actually the weakest part of Hang Seng. Everyone else is cooperating with each other. Only he likes to fight alone. So by making good use of No. 46, we can turn defeat into victory! Although Xu Zangyi said I didn't say it to Du Yunfeng, but Du Yunfeng listened to it completely in his heart."

"This guy in front of me always has his own unique insights into the trend of the game. It seems that he can really open a gap from No. 46!"

After Hang Seng took the lead, he began to take control to consume Red Star's physical energy.The Red Star players, eager to equalize the score, ran blindly on the field. Even if they got the ball, they ignored the cooperation because they were anxious to attack.

Li Yi looked at the situation on the field and suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.
