Go back to the past and be the king

Chapter 19 A Scout Comes From Afar

Compared with the school playground that didn't even have a locker room before the final, the conditions in the city sports center were not so good.

It was the first time for the players to come to such a grand place. Except for Lu Chen, everyone was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking here and there.

The only ones who were a little calm were Shi Lei and Chen Xianyu.

Shi Lei is because of his own personality, calm and leisurely, not surprised by honor or disgrace.And Chen Xianyu is the head coach and the only coach, so of course he has to keep calm.

After the players were excited, they sat on the stools in the locker room, but they seemed a little nervous. Several people's legs were swinging, how could they play like this.

Chen Xianyu coughed, attracted everyone's attention, and then said: "Are you nervous? I am also nervous. This is the first time for you to participate in such a large-scale competition, and it is also the first time for me to lead a team to participate in this large-scale competition." Competition. But so what! Since we have already entered the finals, we can't go back empty-handed!
"I believe in you, because you are the best in my eyes! We have practiced the specific details countless times, so I won't talk about them here. I just want to say one thing here, this game can only be successful, You can’t fail! Don’t feel pressured, just perform at your normal level.”

After speaking, some staff members urged them to go down and get used to the venue, and then Chen Xianyu waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's make history together!"

Because this was just a game for high school students, there were not many people in the stadium, and only one stand was barely filled.

This should be the reason why the school organized some students to watch the game. Otherwise, with the attention paid to campus football in China, it is possible that only a few hundred people will come.

There are also a few tables on the side of the rostrum, and the business cards on them should be the leaders of the Sports Bureau and the two schools.

It seems that listening to a speech before the game is indispensable, it's just how much time there is.

Mu Xiaoyu and Cheng still sat in the first row closest to the stadium, but they were still a little far away even though they were separated by a track.After all, this is not a professional stadium, and it is normal to have a running track. Even some Chinese Super League clubs don't have that kind of professional stadium without a running track, let alone this is just a game for high school students.

Mu Xiaoyu and Cheng Yiran didn't have much communication in school, but they just heard about each other because of their excellent grades.However, it was very unexpected to meet here. The two exchanged a lot, all about the team.

What many people don't know is that there is a special guest hidden in the audience of normal games.

That was the aforementioned part-time Arsenal scout, Alan Smith.This gentleman is a former professional player, so I won't say which league he played in, it doesn't matter anyway.

Allen has been an Arsenal fan since he was a child. After becoming a professional player, he had no chance to play at the Emirates Stadium because of his lack of ability.

However, after he retired, he became one of Arsenal's expatriate scouts, playing for his beloved club.

Arsenal's scouting system can be called the most complete among all clubs in the world. He has a total of 23 scouts, including chief scout Steve Rowley, of which 12 are in the UK and the other ten are in the United Kingdom. Distributed all over the world.

It is this perfect scouting system that provides Arsene Wenger with a steady stream of young players, making Wenger's Arsenal
The success of the youth army model.

However, Alan Smith does not belong to any of these 23 scouts.It has been said that he is a part-time scout, just helping the club to check and fill vacancies. In fact, he still has his own job.

During this time, Smith was on vacation and was invited by his friends in China to come to SH for vacation.However, when I passed by the gymnasium and heard that there was a competition for high school students, I didn't control my professional habits for a while and bought a ticket to come in.

Then he read the brochures distributed in the stadium and listened to the discussions of his friends and others, and he knew that this game was actually something to watch. It was said that there were three geniuses in this game.Smith didn't expect that there would be three geniuses in a small high school cup game. Although they are geniuses in the Chinese population, let's take a look anyway, just in case a little demon appears.

The game time is coming soon. Originally, players from both sides lined up to enter the field. After shaking hands with each other, they stood in a row, sang the national anthem, and then exchanged team flags and flipped coins.

But this game is different. After the players from both sides sang the national anthem, the leader of the Municipal Sports Bureau will give a speech, and then the small leader will make an additional speech, and then the principals of the two sides will speak separately.This set of procedures took more than half an hour, and the players could only stand in line and listen.

After these leaders finished speaking, they came down and shook hands with the players, and the players had to smile.

After all this was finally done, it was the turn of the captains of the two sides to exchange team flags and toss a coin to decide the kick-off method.

Shi Lei was lucky, he guessed right, so he chose to tee off first.

The game officially started, and Chen Xianyu couldn't sit still on the coach's bench.He stood up for a while and walked to the sidelines to have a look, and sat down again for a while. These actions showed that he was extremely nervous now.

"Hello everyone, I am Wu Ming, the commentator of this game. Welcome everyone to spare your precious time to support the development of campus football. Okay, the game starts. Let me introduce the starting lineups of both sides."

The organizer is quite in line with international standards, and even found a live commentary for this game, maybe because they are afraid that some people will not understand.

"Let's take a look at the last defending champion Fuxing Middle School's lineup. They seem to have a 4-3-3 formation. The goalkeeper is No. 1 Xue Mu'an. He only conceded three goals before entering the final. He is a relatively strong player." goalkeeper.

"As for the defenders, No. 3 Zhao Wenbo and No. 22 Ning Zhiyuan are the central defenders, while No. 5 Ma Junchi and No. 2 Xiao Weiqi sit on the left and right flanks respectively.

"In midfield, No. 6 Li Wenhao, No. 13 Zhou Yuanhang and No. 8 Song Yueze stand in parallel.

"Forwards are amazing. No. 9 Yuan Xiujie, No. 10 Ye Siyang and No. 11 Ma Junnan. Especially Ye Siyang, who was the best player in the Chenguang Cup last year, and may even enter the provincial team to participate in the competition this year."

By the time Wu Ming finished introducing the Fuxing Middle School game, the two sides hadn't entered the state yet, they were just testing each other constantly, and there was no sign that the two sides analyzed earlier would be willing to attack to their heart's content.

Then Wu Ming went on to introduce the starting lineup of Yuying Middle School.

"Yuying Middle School is really a dark horse this year. Along the way, they eliminated two strong teams, the High School Affiliated to Normal University and No. A key player, Lu Chen and Shi Lei."

Then he paused and said: "And the formation they formed today looks a bit like 4-3-1-2,

As for the goalkeeper, No. 1 Shi Lei, this is a very good goalkeeper. He has participated in the Chenguang Cup twice and has only conceded two goals so far. Yan, No. 2 Wu Yuhao and No. 3 Jiang Chenggong; midfielder: No. 5 Han Yang, No. 4 Zhang Gong, No. 6 Zhao Yueming partnered with the third midfielder, and No. 8 Lu Chen single midfielder. This is also the core of Yuying Middle School. Both her body and body are very good. I heard that she is only 16 years old, so she has unlimited potential.Forwards Li Chen and Zhao Yunlong, this is the common starting lineup of Yuying Middle School.

The 4-3-1-2 formation is probably only used by AC Milan and Chelsea. I don’t know if Yuying Middle School can bring out the power of this formation. Let’s wait and see. "

Here, Wu Ming has already introduced the starters of both sides. The two sides still have no intention of moving forward, but are just fighting in the midfield.

Just 10 minutes into the game, neither side had a shot. This kind of game didn't look like Fuxing Middle School's style at all, but rather like No. [-] Middle School on the field.

Generally, Fuxing Middle School will attack a game in the opening game, win the game in an instant with its luxurious center and front court, and put the rest of the game in garbage time.However, today they seem to have changed their temperament, they have been shrinking in the midfield and refused to come out.

Lu Chen knew that they must have a conspiracy. If they played like this, the team's special and targeted arrangements before the game would not be able to be used at all.

"Since you don't attack, then I will force you to attack." Lu Chen directly raised his hand near the midfield to ask for the ball, ready to use a strong attack to force them to come out to play against each other.
