Zhigao Supreme: The Legend of Greenery

Chapter 82 Starting List
"I don't know what is the connection between Mengmeng and Xianyu. But I know it is a big joke that they want to advance in the middle of the week!"

After the game against Gent, Bill Short player Prince, who returned to Antwerp, laughed when he was interviewed by Jason.

Although they lost to Gent in the just-concluded round of the league, Bill Short still had a great advantage when facing Antwerp.

In an interview with the media, Bill Short's captain, Belgian international Hendricks, showed strong confidence: "There will be no second result except victory!"

Compared with the self-confidence of the players, Bill Short's head coach Darden is much more humble.

"Antwerp have performed very well in the past two weeks. They have won two consecutive victories, and they have shown super offensive ability and excellent dominance in the game. Although in the first leg we were lucky to beat the They took a 2-0 lead. But the game is a two-legged game, and I can’t predict the unknown. But I think we will beat them at home and advance to the semi-finals!”

Although he speaks humbly, his self-confidence is revealed between the lines.

When both sides were interviewed by the media, they both showed great self-confidence, which also added a lot of excitement to this game.

However, the Antwerp players must face the fact that Bill Short's overall strength is indeed higher than them.

Although they will usher in a fierce battle in the middle of the week, the atmosphere in the training ground in Antwerp is still relaxed, and there is no sense of the imminent battle.

After the relaxed training, Yu Liang insisted on practicing for an extra hour before leaving the club.

……

As the second largest city in Belgium, the pace of life in Antwerp is not fast.Although the weather in February is not very good, people still choose to do outdoor activities when there is sunshine.Or sit in a coffee shop on the street and enjoy a comfortable afternoon; or invite three or two old friends to experience life in a bar.

Walking on the streets of Antwerp, Yu Liang especially enjoyed this leisure.

Ever since he met Deng Yu, as long as the weather is not too bad, Yu Liang always likes to come to the city center after training.

There were a lot of pedestrians on the square, and under the sun, many people set up drawing boards there and began to make paintings for people.

"Thank you, five euros!"

Walking to Deng Yu's painting booth, she just saw off a customer.

Antwerp's population is not very large, even with tourists, it is not as good as a small and medium-sized city in China.Even if you paint for others, you can't make much money.According to Yu Liang's understanding, Deng Yu's family background is good, and she doesn't need her to make a living by painting for people on the street.But as long as the weather is good, Deng Yu will always come here to set up his own painting booth and paint for passers-by.

Although a little curious, Yu Liang didn't ask the specific reason.

"Have a drink?"

On both sides of the square, there are many coffee shops. When many people pass by here, they will choose to drink a cup of coffee and take a rest.

"Let's go!"

Deng Yu looked around, and then followed Yu Liang to the coffee shop.

"Will the next game be difficult?"

After ordering two cups of coffee, Yu Liang and Deng Yu sat near the window, so that they could clearly see everything on the square, including her painting booth.

"It's a bit difficult!"

Although in the face of media interviews, Yu Liang said that he would definitely advance to the semi-finals of the cup.But the game is not easy to talk about, especially the game against Bill Short in the middle of the week.Not only did they fall behind 0-2 on aggregate, they also had to play away games. More importantly, this was a city derby.Therefore, no matter how big the advantage Bill Short has, he will go all out in this game.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Yu Liang looked at Deng Yu curiously.Although he is playing football, he cannot influence everyone around him, nor can he force everyone around him to love football!Among them, Deng Yu is a typical special case. He has never paid attention to football, but he does not reject it.

"During dinner last night, I heard a few classmates discussing your game in the restaurant! I heard that they will go to the scene to cheer for you!"

There are many Chinese in Antwerp, and there are also many foreign students from China in the University of Antwerp and the Academy of Art.

The stars shine in the sky——Yu Liang, the owner of this post is an international student from the University of Antwerp. Yu Liang also had dinner with him and chatted about football.

Listening to Deng Yu's words, it is estimated that they are a group of people who want to go to the away game to cheer.

But will they be able to get tickets?
Thinking of the tickets, Yu Liang couldn't help frowning.In the first round of the game, Antwerp only reserved less than [-] tickets for Bill Short fans. It is estimated that Bill Short will not leave too many tickets for Antwerp fans.

"Will you win?"

"Of course I will win!"

Although the opponent is strong and the game is difficult to play, Yu Liang's belief in winning the game has never wavered.

Everyone in the coffee shop had smiles on their faces, and they were enjoying a leisurely afternoon.Maybe they were Antwerp fans, maybe they were Bill Short fans.Although the derby will be staged in this city again, the upcoming derby has not affected people's lives, they are still so indifferent.

Football can indeed make people fanatical, but it is only a part of people's lives and cannot replace people's lives.

After having dinner with Deng Yu, Yu Liang returned to the apartment alone.

……

"Damn weather!"

After two consecutive days of preparing for the game, the match day finally arrived. After getting up in the morning, Yu Liang, who habitually stood on the balcony and glanced at the Bosur Stadium not far away, frowned at the gloomy weather.After only two days of sunshine, the weather turned cloudy again.

Although the weather in Antwerp is not very cold now, Yu Liang doesn't like this gloomy weather. The dark clouds cover the whole sky, giving people a depressing feeling.

After muttering something, Yu Liang went back to the bathroom to wash up, and went straight to the club after washing up.

Although it is today's game day, because the game will be played at [-] o'clock in the evening, Van Aker still arranged a training session in the morning.

But before the training, Van Acker deliberately held a meeting.

"The importance of the evening game and the severe situation we are currently facing do not need any elaboration. I think everyone can understand it!"

Standing in front of the meeting room, Van Aker looked a little stern.

"No one thinks that we can advance! No one believes that we can beat them! Yes, our strength is weaker than them, and we are now behind with a total score of 0-2!"

Before Van Aker could finish his words, the players in the meeting room immediately began to discuss.

"Boss, what does this mean, do you want us to give up the game?"

"The words of the head are too high-spirited!"

"If the opponent is not Bill Short, we can still give up the game, but now we have to beat them, because this is a derby!"

"Yes, what Laert said is very good, this is the Derby, we must beat them! But just beating them is not enough, we also need to advance, we have to step on them forever! Let them know that this There is only one master of the city, and that is us!"

Laerte's words resonated in the conference room.

Seeing the outraged expressions of the players, Van Aker immediately took up the conversation.

"But we should be quiet now and think about how to beat them? Attack, can we tear their defense?"

Van Acker's rhetorical question made the chaotic conference room immediately quiet down.

Although Bill Short's defense is not top-notch in the first division, Antwerp's offensive ability is not top-notch in the second division. How can it be compared with the offense of the first division team?

So how to tear through their defense and break their goal?

The players looked at Van Aker one after another.

"Their offense is mainly launched from the side, so if you want to tear their defense, you can only make a fuss from the two sides! However, in this game, I don't plan to play against them!"

Van Aker's words once again exceeded the expectations of the players.In the previous two days of training, they focused on rehearsing the side attack, but now they don't play counterattacks. Isn't that side attack drill for nothing?
"Four three three, defend and counterattack!"

This time Van Aker did not give the players time to discuss.

"Di Gregorio, Dong, and Frazier, you three are at the front. Biga, Mihem, and Yu form the midfield. I don't need to teach you how to defend. After stealing the ball, Give the ball to Yu, counterattack with a long pass! In addition to the counterattack, we also need to take advantage of corner kicks and set kicks! Christopher, I don’t care what your state is, and I don’t care what happened to you in the past. In this game, I There is only one request for you, put the damn ball into their goal! The next training is to practice the set piece and corner kick tactics! Alright, guys I think we should go to the training ground!"

Four-three-three, and also played defensive counterattacks. In fact, not only the players, but also the members of the coaching staff didn't understand Van Acker's tactical arrangements.

Although they didn't understand, they didn't raise any objections, and they still carefully arranged corner kicks and set kick tactics in the training ground.

After continuing to practice for more than an hour, Van Aker ended the training session.

After the training session, Van Aker and the players attended the pre-match press conference.

At the press conference, while Van Acker announced the 18-man roster, he also announced his starting list: "Ivan Willox, Cedric, Rawan, Christopher, Bart Black, Biga, Mi Herm, Yu Liang, King Dong, Di Gregorio, Fraser Campbell!"
