Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 46
On June 6nd, the No.2 round of the Chinese Premier League.The Shenzhen Red Diamonds are at home against Wuhan Zall, a very strong opponent.

Speaking of Wuhan football, I believe that the first thing many old fans think of is the Wuhan Optics Valley team that shocked the Chinese football back then.

In the 2008 season, the Wuhan Optics Valley team angrily withdrew from the Chinese Super League due to the punishment of the head of the team, Li Weifeng, and finally avoided the Korean K-League.This incident shocked the whole country back then, and the entire Chinese football world was uproarious about it.The incident of withdrawing from the Chinese Super League that year was a major earthquake no less than a magnitude [-] for Wuhan football.

Many Hubei footballers were indignant about this, and the fans were even more mournful, thinking that Hubei football would decline from then on.

Wuhan Zall was established under such circumstances, composed of players from the Hubei National Games football team and the Optics Valley team who failed to transfer in time.It entrusts the hope of Wuhan and even the entire Hubei football.

At first the team was called Hubei Luyin, then Hubei Zhongbo, and then the current Wuhan Zall.In just a few years, it has changed its name several times. This is the reality of Chinese football.A familiar team disappeared without knowing when, and then changed into another name or ran thousands of kilometers away to become another team.

There is no eternal team in China, only eternal fans and the eternal helpless sadness in the hearts of fans!
Although the Wuhan Zall team has not been established for a long time, it is a rare and strong team in the Chinese League One.In the past few years, it has been a popular team for the Super League, and its strength in the Chinese Premier League is definitely one of the best.

However, in this year's Chinese League One, the Wuhan Zall team has not recovered from the blow of failing to reach the Super League last year, or some other problem. This year's performance is not good.Currently only ranked No.7 in the league, with a gap of as much as 10 points from the top.If there is no stronger performance in the next half-plus season, this year's plan to surpass is probably suspended again.

It is precisely because of the unsatisfactory performance of the Wuhan Zall team that the team is under great internal and external pressure.The whole team is holding back their energy, vowing to wipe out the Shenzhen Red Diamonds, a team that they regard as a fish-preserved team, and become the nourishment for them to surpass.

After the Shenzhen Red Diamond team lost two games in a row, coupled with internal factional conflicts, the morale of the team was very low.Although the Shenzhen Red Diamonds are at their home court, the Shenzhen Red Diamonds are still at a disadvantage in this game.

This game is not easy to play, Yan Feng has a clear understanding of this, so he is very eager to play and make his own contribution to the team.It just so happened that the suspension was over, and Yan Feng couldn't wait to play.

In the locker room of the Shenzhen Red Diamonds before the start of the game, although the atmosphere was not as gloomy as outsiders imagined, it was not very enthusiastic.Before the head coach Li Yi came to the locker room, everyone was chatting in twos and threes.The people who chatted gathered on one side, and the old and new factions were clearly separated. This clearly showed the antagonism and contradictions within the team.

The locker rooms of Yan Feng and Lin Fan are connected together, and the two of them are leaning on the locker room chatting about today's opponents.Apparently, the two had already known about Wuhan Zall before, and they were discussing possible players and possible tactical arrangements for Wuhan Zall.And discuss the main players of the Wuhan Zall team that may face today, talk about their characteristics and how to deal with them.

When the two of them were chatting, Yan Feng asked Lin Fan casually: "Our opponent in this round is the Wuhan Zall team. Who are the players in the rounds before the mid-term break? For I didn't pay much attention to the league schedule or opponents."

Lin Fan thought for a while and said, "Well, the next round is the BJ Beikong Yanjing team, and then the current league leader Yanbian Changbaishan team."

"Beijing Enterprises Yanjing? Where did this team come from?"

"Oh, it didn't come out of nowhere, it was last year's BJ Baxi team." Lin Fan smiled wryly.

"I'm going. The team names are always changing. People can't remember which team is which team. What kind of trouble is this? I really don't understand how Chinese football can be like this. Even the team name is different. It's messed up like this."

"If Chinese football is understood by ordinary people, will it still be like this?"

"Hey, let's not talk about troubles! The opponent in the No.15 round after the offseason should be the Taiyuan Jiayi team, right?"

"No, it's the HHHT Zhongyou team."

"What? Why isn't it Taiyuan Jiayi? I remember that Taiyuan Jiayi succeeded last year?" Yan Feng didn't understand.

Hearing this, Lin Fan's face became helpless, and he sighed and said, "Hey, there is no Taiyuan Jiayi team anymore. They moved to the Mongolian prairie this year, and now they are called HHHT Zhongyou team. Ha, yes Isn't it funny?"

"I, I, I take the exam! I swear that I will never remember the name of the Chinese team in the future. The ghost knows what it will be called next year or where it will go. This is simply a child's play!" Yan Feng thought My mind is all tangled up.

For such a situation, Yan Feng, who is not familiar with Chinese football, was very shocked.He really couldn't understand that a good team just disappeared like this. Chinese football teams always change their names and move around. Yan Feng really couldn't understand.How does this allow those players to play football with peace of mind, and how do those lovely and poor fans say I love you?my team?

I want to say I love you, but where are you on my team?

"Hehe, it's just such a joke!" Lin Fan could only smile wryly, especially when he thought of Team Fengpeng. "In the Chinese football world, there are only things you can't think of, and nothing is impossible. Didn't the Rizhiquan team just move to Shaanxi and then remove the team? If the Chinese Football League didn't hear of a team relocating, changing its name or directly Those who were disbanded are abnormal. I myself came to the Shenzhen Red Diamonds after the Fengpeng team disbanded, and there are several young players in our team who came from the disbanded Rizhiquan team.”

"This``````"

Yan Feng didn't know what to say anymore, he could only stare blankly at the sad Lin Fan.

The mood seems to have become a little depressed, but fortunately this situation did not last long.Because the head coach Li Yi has come to the locker room at this time.

Yan Feng and Lin Fan collected their emotions and began to listen to the coach's pre-match arrangements and tactical explanations.After all, the past has become a fact, and people can only look forward.

After the head coach Li Yi walked into the locker room, he saw that everyone's morale was low before the game started, so he clapped his hands and focused everyone's attention. "Everyone cheers up, and they are listless before they play. Have you already conceded? Or is it that you are one egg less than them? Answer me, don't you?"

"No!" No one will admit that they are inferior to others, they can only deny it loudly.

"Okay, then show me the appearance of a man." Seeing that everyone's morale has improved, Li Yi secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and then said: "Next, let me talk about the tactical arrangement and tactics of this game again." Defensive focus! ``````"

Next, Li Yi seriously talked about the tactical arrangements, and from time to time told the players what to pay attention to when they play.In fact, all the tactical arrangements and various matters have already been rehearsed, and now it is just a reminder again.It's almost over soon.

"Next, let me announce the starters for this game. Wang Zihua, you should pay attention to the forward thrust and retreat when you play the single arrow this time ```Fei Yu, you must pay attention to the distribution of the ball in front`` `Lin Fan``````" Li Yi read out the names one by one and ordered them.

In fact, the team's starting lineup is generally already arranged, so that the targeted training tactics can be arranged in advance.The starters can be seen from the group training a few days before the game, and now it is just a confirmation.

The starting list is not different from the previous arrangement, at least the people announced earlier are not wrong.The list was almost read out soon, but Yan Feng's name was still not read until the goalkeeper was sure about it, which made him feel a little strange.

But there is still one last name that I haven't read, and it should be me next.

Thinking of this, Yan Feng is still very confident in his recent state, and I believe the head coach Li Yi will definitely notice.

When the last name was read, Li Yi stopped to look at the expectant Yan Feng and the smiling Zhou Li, and then read: "The last is Zhou Li, you should pay attention to defense and front and back after you play." The connection of the field``````"

"What?" Yan Feng wondered if his ears had misheard.

How can it be?Did I get it wrong? I'm in such a good state recently, why did Brother Yi let me do latent supplements?

Glancing at Yan Feng who was a little stunned, Li Yi sighed secretly, and then greeted everyone. "Okay, that's all there is to say, everyone, hurry up and warm up your lower body, the starters prepare for the entrance ceremony ```"

Everyone began to leave the locker room, but Zhou Li deliberately walked past Yan Feng who was staying there, with a face full of trepidation, and said in a voice that seemed to come out of his nose: "Hmph, you must be self-aware, the main force is to stay For people with technology and strength."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Li left the locker room with his nose turned upside down.

"This useless guy, look at him. Brother Feng, don't be angry with this kind of villain. If you have strength, you will always shine. Even if it is a latent supplement, as long as you play, no one can cover up your brilliance." "For the coach's arrangement, Lin Fan, who was puzzled but helpless, could only comfort Yan Feng.

"Lin Fan, you go first, you still have to prepare for the entrance ceremony. I'm fine, and it's not that I haven't made up for it." Yan Feng asked Lin Fan to go first, and he wanted to stay at the end.

When only Yan Feng and Li Yi were left in the locker room, Yan Feng, who was full of confusion, couldn't help but said first: "Brother Yi, I don't understand. Didn't the training in the previous few days be arranged for me? Look at me The current state is so good that it can kill a tiger. I really don't understand why it is like this in the end?"

Looking at Yan Feng's eyes full of desire to play, Li Yi could only pat Yan Feng's shoulder helplessly, and said in a bitter enough voice: "Yan Feng, gold will always shine. I always believe in you. As long as But some things are not up to me. Although I am the head coach, there are other people above me."

"I```" Yan Feng could understand what Li Yi said. Although he was very unhappy, he was helpless.He had nothing to say but silence.Who told him that he was just an amateur player who just entered the professional league, who else would believe in his ability except the emperor Li Yi?
"Let's go, it's time to enter. Even if it's a latent supplement, I believe that you can definitely perform better than anyone else."

For things that cannot be changed, Yan Feng can only pack up his mood and enter the latent seat with Li Yi.

Compared with Yan Feng's unhappiness, Li Yi is actually even more upset.As the head coach, but unable to arrange the game according to his own ideas, one can imagine the inner feelings.

The previous team training arrangements were all arranged with Yan Feng as the main force, and everything had been arranged long ago.But just last night, general manager Li Hong found him and said something to him: "Li Yi, now that the team is encountering difficulties, the team should be more united. The board of directors believes that people like captain Wang Dong Old players and veteran heroes are more trustworthy. The team hopes that you can handle these problems well. Especially the opinions of captain Wang Dong, you should listen more.”

Hearing this, Li Yi, the great emperor who has been in Chinese football for many years, of course understands what is going on.It must be the captain Wang Dong who is putting pressure on himself through the higher-ups.Although he was very unhappy in his heart, facing the general manager Li Hong, he thought of Wang Dong as the core of the team.Li Yi, who was very upset, could only express that he understood the meaning above.

One sentence caused the emergence of today's situation, and all the arrangements and preparations Li Yi had made before were in vain.But in order to appease the old ministers and respect the wishes of the above, Li Yi can only sacrifice Yan Feng's playing time.

Although he is called the Great Emperor, he is not God.Like the players, he actually works for the team and is just a chess piece.

"I hope the old players can hold on to the scene!" Li Yi could only comfort himself in this way.
