There is a team called the Friendship Team

Chapter 219 The first round of the championship semi-final begins!
A week later, Sunday.

Jiangsu Taizhou Sansheng Club Football Stadium.

The Chinese Champions League has rekindled the fighting, but the entire league is drawing to a close.

This round is the semi-finals of the Chinese Champions League. The first game of the semi-finals has ended. Guangzhou Hengda Tigers played as a guest at Yanbian Yixin Club Football Stadium and unexpectedly lost 1-2!
The Hengda Tigers, who were unanimously optimistic, encountered the away game "Waterloo", which put a big question mark on the promotion situation of both sides!

The second game of the semi-finals is the duel between the Taizhou Sansheng Team and the Friendship Team that will start today.

In this game, both sides have neat personnel.

On the Friendship team side, even Zhang Chao, who had just participated in the Den Haag trial training, rushed back.

Since the contract with Den Haag Club has been initialed, the remaining four games of the Chinese Champions League will be the last four games Zhang Chao will play for the Friendship Team!
Before the match, Zhang Chao asked Shi Jie, Quan Weilong and Li Weifeng to "ask for a job", but the three unanimously rejected it.

The reasons for the refusal of the three were basically the same. They all believed that Zhang Chao had just returned to China and rushed to the away game. He was not in the best physical condition and was not suitable for the starting game.

In view of the fact that there were two rounds of confrontation between the two teams in the FA Cup qualifying match, in this game, the Friendship Team was a guest to seek stability and formed a defensive 541 formation:

Forward: Xu Mingdong;

Midfielders: Amber, Chen Ting, Chen Jiexi, Li Gen;
Guards: Guo Jiafan, Yu Sheng, Wei Zhengxian, Chu Tiankuo, Xie Yuan;
Goalkeeper: Liu Yiao.

The opponent Taizhou Sansheng team, because it is playing at home, waits for work at leisure, and dispatches the main force. Captain Zhang Xinlin, high center forward Ge Wei, winger Zhu Feng, midfielder Cai Zhiyu, center back Liu Wei, Li Xiaoming and other famous players all appeared on the stage!
This game will undoubtedly be a wonderful game!
The starting players of both sides entered the field, and the head coaches of the two teams also shook hands enthusiastically.

The head coach of the Taizhou Sansheng team is still Zhu Jiong. Under his leadership, the style of play of the Taizhou Sansheng team has gradually taken shape. The club has considered renewing his long-term contract with him after the end of the season.

In addition, he and the current coach of the Friendship Team, Li Weifeng, are also old acquaintances. The two had a brief encounter in the player era.

After the necessary procedures before the game are completed, the captains of the two teams will choose sides.

For the Friendship Team, Chen Ting has officially become the captain of the team. The original captain, Sun Bin, was demoted to vice-captain because he lost his main position in the team.

The captain of the Taizhou Sansheng team is still Zhang Xinlin, and he guessed the wrong coin.

So, in the first half, the Friendship team attacked from left to right and kicked off first.

Players from both teams stand still.

"Shut up!"

The referee blows the whistle and the game begins!
Team of Friendship kicks off.

Xu Mingdong passed the ball back to midfielder Chen Jiexi.

Chen Jiexi took the ball and quickly distributed it to the wing, giving it to Li Gen, who joined the new team.

Li Genxin joined the team not long ago, while Chen Jiexi, Chen Ting and others participated in the Four Nations Invitational Tournament in the national junior team, so they didn't have enough time to get along together.

As for Chen Jiexi's kick, he intentionally passed the ball to Li Gen, in order to understand the characteristics of this new teammate.

Li Gen took the ball, and the winger Zhu Feng of Taizhou Sansheng team actively went up to grab it!
Faced with Zhu Feng's menacing approach, Li Gen did not take the ball, but confidently pulled the ball and turned around, with his back to Zhu Feng to protect the ball.

Zhu Feng was very persistent, pressing Li Gen tightly, sticking his body close, constantly stretching out his feet to poke the ball.

Suddenly, Li Gen turned to the left——

Zhu Feng's footsteps moved, and he followed closely——

Immediately afterwards, Li Gen suddenly changed direction to the right——

"what!"

"Shut up!"

The referee whistled, and Li Gen fell to the ground covering his face.

It turned out that Zhu Feng's vertical running speed was fast, but his turning and flexibility were not strong, so he couldn't keep up with Li Gen's continuous turning and changing directions.

Zhu Feng, who was eager to grab the ball, raised his arm too high and hit Li Gen in the face, which caused a foul.

On the sidelines, the Team of Friendship bench.

Zhang Chao rested his chin and stared carefully at Li Gen's every move on the field. He came back from the trial training of the Den Haag Club and had not played with Li Gen. He wanted to know the strength of this new member.

Back on the field.

Li Gen quickly served a set ball and gave it to teammate Chen Jiexi.

When Chen Jiexi received the ball, he had already observed the position of his teammates in advance, and made a long pass to the left without stopping the ball. Look for Amber!

Chen Jiexi's pass was accurate, and Amber's pass was comfortable.

However, Cai Zhiyu, the midfielder of Taizhou Sansheng Team, made up the defense very quickly. As soon as Amber unloaded the ball, Cai Zhiyu followed, stretched out a kick, and destroyed the ball out of the sideline!
On the sidelines, the Taizhou Sansheng team is on the bench.

"In the two games of the FA Cup qualifiers, Amber has posed a great threat to us. He is a very important point in the Friendship team's offense. Cai Zhiyu's main task is to mark Amber and destroy him as much as possible. Take the ball." Zhu Jiong, the head coach of Taizhou Sansheng Team, said heartily.

"call!"

Amber ran to the sidelines, picked up the ball, and quickly threw it to teammate Chen Ting.

Chen Ting took the ball, and Zhang Xinlin, the captain of Taizhou Sansheng Team, came to press for it.

The captains of the two teams meet one-on-one!

But Chen Ting didn't stick to personal fights, and passed the ball back to central defender Yu Sheng.

Yu Cheng took the ball and crossed it to his defensive partner Wei Zhengxian, Wei Zhengxian crossed it to Chu Tiankuo...

Friendship had the ball at the back and played very slowly.

The Taizhou Sansheng team had no choice but to set the offensive line as the premise, with high center forward Ge Wei at the forefront, and also began to press.

After nearly two seasons of running-in, the players of the Friendship Team have become more and more cooperative. Occasionally, they can pass the ball with more than a dozen consecutive kicks without losing the ball. This style of play that controls the rhythm saves the team a lot of energy.

But it's okay to make no mistakes in the backcourt, but a mistake will be fatal!

Chu Tiankuo sent a through ball to the side, which was intercepted by Zhu Feng of Taizhou Sansheng Team!

Zhu Feng just grabbed the ball in the defensive "rib" of the Friendship Team, and he can quickly counterattack with the ball!
Zhu Feng held the ball and pushed forward decisively——

Chu Tiankuo knew that he had made a big mistake, so he immediately came over to fill his seat——

"Snapped!"

Zhu Feng's foot speed was faster, and he changed direction and forced an outside breakthrough——

"what!"

Chu Tiankuo was passed by Zhu Feng head-on, turned around and couldn't catch up with Zhu Feng, so he had to reach out and pull Zhu Feng down!
"Shut up!"

As soon as the referee blew his whistle, he immediately ran to the scene of the incident, decisively took out a yellow card to Chu Tiankuo, and awarded Taizhou Sansheng a penalty kick!
The game has just started, and the Friendship Team has a "yellow card plus penalty kick" package!
Chu Tiankuo knelt on the ground regretfully.

Teammates Wei Zhengxian and Yu Sheng came over, patted his head, expressed comfort, and pulled Chu Tiankuo up.

"Hey, Tiankuo! It's okay, it's just a penalty kick, it's nothing to worry about, it's nothing to worry about!" Goalkeeper Liu Yiao shouted confidently, cheering Chu Tiankuo up.

The players of the Taizhou Sansheng team gathered together and clapped hands. They just won a penalty kick, but they were as happy as if they were leading by one goal.

Zhang Xinlin, the captain of the Taizhou Sansheng team, holds the ball and walks to the penalty spot. He will be the penalty kicker.

The remaining players of the two teams exited the penalty area one after another.

"Shut up!"

The referee blows his whistle.

Zhang Xinlin ran up slowly, adjusted the rhythm of his feet, kicked up——

Liu Yiao flew across——

"Bong!"

"nice shot!"

"Pretty!"

Liu Yiao completely judged the right direction and saved the ball out of the goal!

Taizhou Sansheng won a corner kick.

"what--"

After saving the penalty kick, Liu Yiao quickly got up, raised his arms and shouted.

Teammate Chu Tiankuo ran over immediately and hugged Liu Yiao excitedly. He knew very well that it was Liu Yiao who saved him from the mistakes he made!
The first round of the semi-finals of the Chinese Champions League has just begun, and the Friendship Team has shown a weak side in the face of a strong enemy.

The Taizhou Sansheng team sits at home and has the advantage and is very close to the goal.

After all, which team will score first?
