Chapter 74 Advancing to the second stage
At 11:14 am on November 9th, Shonan University ushered in their first game in the second division finals.

The game was held in the outfield of Star Sports Center. After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, players from Shonan University walked off the court in a daze.

They lost 0:2.Since the first game is considered their home game, they must win the second game by more than 3:1 to successfully enter the second round.

Song Desheng let the players rest for an afternoon without saying anything.In the evening, he organized a meeting for all the team members and criticized everyone one by one. Even Shi Hao was severely criticized.

To be fair, Shi Hao did not perform badly in this match.But it's just not bad.He had higher expectations for Shi Hao.

Shi Hao also understood this point.After the game, he locked himself in the hotel and summed it up. He felt that he underestimated the opponents and looked down on the opponents of these college students. Instead, he was taught a lesson.

In the game, he dribbled without purpose many times, just because he could pass the opponent, not because the tactics required him to do so.

When the score fell behind, he didn't choose to trust his teammates, but did it alone.Although he hit the post once and was saved by the opposing goalkeeper a few times, he looked like he played well, but a loss is a loss.

After the criticism, Song Desheng began to deploy tactics again.

Yanbian University does not have a particularly prominent star player, but their overall football cannot be underestimated.In September, they defeated Hohai University 9:2 in a friendly match, which shows that they are indeed a strong team, not the North District champion won by luck.

In view of this, Song Desheng's tactic is to play the ball possession tactic, using small-scale transfer and mobilization to disrupt Yanbian University's defense.

The second round of the match will be held at 11:16 on November 9. The venue of the match is the infield of the Star Sports Center.Song Desheng once again arranged for Shi Hao to play as a lone striker, Xiao Liang and Chen Zhihua jointly controlled the midfield, and Shen Zhihuo and Liu Yi left and right.

After the start of the game, Yanbian University took the lead and scored a goal in the 7th minute.It was a powerful long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area. The angle was very tricky, and Li Qingchang was helpless.

Shonan University is on the verge of being eliminated, and there is no way out.

At the critical moment, Shi Hao stood up and scored a point for Shonan University in the 11th minute, giving Shonan University a glimmer of hope again.

In stoppage time in the first half, Chen Zhihua received a pass from Xiao Liang and took a long shot at the top of the arc, rewriting the total score to 2:3.

After the rematch in different places in the second half, the Yanbian University team strengthened their defense and tried to hold the score.They fought for every inch of ground on the court, making Shonan University no longer able to play smooth passes.

But their resistance only lasted until the 77th minute.Shi Hao ran to the right to catch the ball, ran all the way diagonally, and suddenly passed the ball when he dribbled the ball to his right foot in the penalty area. The football drew an arc around the defender and landed at Shen Zhihuo's feet.Shen Zhihuo was not greedy, and calmly knocked the ball horizontally. Xiao Liang easily adjusted the ball and scored the third goal of Shonan University when no one was marking.

The total score became 3:3, and Shonan University has the advantage of more away goals, and now it is the turn of Yanbian University to suffer.

Keep it, even if you keep it, you lose.Offense, now their team's morale is low, the defense has lost confidence, what should they do if they are attacked again?
But they had to attack.

And Shi Hao seized the loophole in Yanbian University's defense line, ran to the empty space in the 91st minute and received Xue Shikun's long pass, calmly dialed the ball past the last defensive player of Yanbian University, and rubbed a beautiful ball with his inner instep The arc flew around the goalkeeper's fingertips and flew into the goal.

In the end, Shonan University staged a miraculous counterattack when it fell behind 0:3. It defeated Yanbian University with a total score of 4:3 and advanced to the second round.

另一边的比赛中，湘涛俱乐部首场1：0，第二场3：3，同样以4:3的总比分战胜了火车头雅琪队。

The two first-round contests of the second round will be held at the same time at 11:18 on November 14th. Shonan University VS Xiangtao, Hangzhou Sanchao VS Guizhou Zhicheng.

Because Xiangtao Club experienced a fragile defeat against Shonan University in a friendly match, they did not dare to take this game lightly. They relied on defense and waited for an opportunity to counterattack. They did not dare to invest heavy troops in the offense.

However, the Shonan University team had physical problems, and players such as Shi Hao, Xiao Liang, and Chen Zhihua were too important. Song Desheng did not dare to take the risk of letting them rotate, so Shonan University also played without passion on the field.

In the end, the two teams played 0:0.For Shonan University, this is an acceptable result, because the first game is their home game.As long as the next game continues to be a draw and they can score more than one away goal, they can advance to the second stage of the finals.

On November 11, Kunming Star Sports Center.Due to physical problems, Song Desheng was forced to hide Shi Hao, Chen Zhihua, and Han Meng in the first half, and the team was defeated in the 20th minute.

In the second half, Song Desheng first replaced Shi Hao and Han Meng, but the situation did not improve.Xue Shikun, who started the game, exposed his lack of experience. Although his skills were comparable to Chen Zhihua's, he lost control of his opponent's frequent small movements and ended his debut performance with a flying kick.

Shonan University made things worse, and Shi Hao was even more isolated and helpless in the frontcourt, making it difficult to get opportunities.In the 77th minute, Song Desheng put all his eggs in one basket, replaced Shen Zhihuo with Chen Zhihua, let Shi Hao play left inside forward, and Xiao Liang played forward, forming a 423 formation.

Chen Zhihua's appearance made Shi Hao active, creating murderous intentions frequently.In the 83rd minute, after Shi Hao got the ball from the wing, he made consecutive passes. After breaking through the penalty area, he used a flick of an oxtail in exchange for a penalty kick. Chen Zhihua equalized the score overnight.

After this goal, Xiangtao Club launched a crazy attack, and even Shi Hao retreated to the penalty area to assist in defense.In the end, Shonan University withstood the pressure and extended the score of 1:1 to the end.

And they entered the second stage of the game through the advantage of away goals, and the ambitious Xiangtao Club had to go home.

After this game, Xiangtao Club once again extended olive branches to Shi Hao, Xiao Liang and Chen Zhihua, and provided more favorable conditions, and added two more people to the list of invitations: goalkeeper Li Qingchang who made many amazing saves , and Yuan Yiqi, who marked their striker so miserable.

It took a little effort for Shi Hao to restrain his urge and reject the contract with an annual salary of 65.Not surprisingly, Xiao Liang refused again.But Chen Zhihua, Li Qingchang and Yuan Yiqi were all moved, but the most important thing for them right now was to win two more games and win a place in the Chinese League One for Shonan University.

Next, Shonan University got a 3-day rest. They will challenge the BJ Baxi team, the champion of the North Division during the regular season of the Chinese League Two, in the first round of the second stage on November 11.

In these 3 days, apart from the team's training, Shi Hao still seized the time to train in the Dreamer system, and did not go to Kunming to play around like other teammates.
