Reborn on top of football

In the summer of 1997 in Liaoyang, the citizens of Liaoyang had two joys and sorrows: on the one hand, most of the enterprises in Liaoyang City were not bad except Liaohua, which was directly under the central government, and Qingyang, which was a military enterprise. Downtime.Even though the city didn't say anything, anyone who paid a little attention to current affairs felt that the black clouds were overwhelming, making them breathless.On the other hand, the country has taken back Hong Kong, and it has been humiliated for a hundred years, which makes people feel refreshed.

By the end of June, a piece of news shocked the citizens of Liaoyang.Liaoyang Idiot Food, which was already remembered for its big head and heartless image, has another moth: it sponsors the city's high school football league, which lasts ten days and is free of charge at the city's stadium.This gave great comfort to the anxious citizens.According to the law of developed countries in Europe and the United States, as long as the economic situation is not good, movies and football tickets will sell well.

Therefore, when the first day opened, the Liaoyang City Stadium, which was full of 3 people, was sparsely filled.A rough estimate is close to 2 people.This is not the situation where each unit is allocated and must be in place in the city sports meeting. This kind of low-level competition is completely voluntary.Although there are some players' parents, school teachers and so on, how many people are there?The enthusiasm of ordinary citizens was completely aroused.

The leaders of the Municipal Education Bureau and the Sports Bureau did not expect so many viewers to come. At best, this competition was just a 15-second "good news" advertisement on Liaoyang TV for a week. The more the audience, the greater the impact, the two units The leader couldn't hide his smile.The opening speech, the announcement of the start of the cup match, the player representatives, and the referee representatives' oath for a fair game were completed. At 1997:7 pm on July 11, 6, the match between the city's No. [-] high school team and the Lighthouse No. [-] high school team officially began.

The No. [-] high school team occupies a geographical advantage, and it is also a key high school in the city anyway, so it is only natural that they will be the one in the opening game.Lighthouse No. [-] High School was decided by lottery, and it was divided into a group with City No. [-] High School and City Vocational No. [-] High School.No. [-] High School's strength is not very good, but by virtue of the key high school's signature, it got into the seed team.Of course, the selection of this game was also because the second high school of Lighthouse was weaker than the first high school of the city.There were also city leaders watching the match.

So at the beginning of the game, the two evenly matched teams started a fierce offensive and defensive battle, which attracted applause from the citizens and fans at the scene.For many years, the city has never held such a large-scale and fairly formal high school football league.Liaoyang is a small city with a population of just over 100 million, which is incomparable to the provincial capital Shenyang with a population of 800 million and Dalian with a population of 500 million.The fans in Liaoyang have to take a bus to go to the Liaoning team and Dalian team every game, and the sadness and exhaustion in it are beyond words.So watching the game at home this time is full of enthusiasm.

For the vast majority of the audience, there was no position. Even if the game was held in Liaoyang City, there was no preference for the players of Dengta No. [-] High School. Whoever played beautifully played against them, and whoever lost or won was fine.

Liaoyang Stadium was originally built as a comprehensive medium-sized stadium, so the stands are not oriented east-west of a standard football field, but north-south.Just when the two teams were competing fiercely and the citizens and fans were cheering, a thin figure appeared in the crowd of fans in the South Stand.This person was Li Tie, the iron waist of the Chinese football team who was later famous.

In 1997, Li Tie was still in Zhu Guanghu's Jianlibao team in Brazil, but after participating in an international competition, he was favored by the current national team coach Qi Wusheng, and was selected for the 1998 World Cup Asian qualifiers, that is, China in the top ten. In the team, he became the main midfielder in the team, and Li Tie was just 20 years old at this time. In July, the national team was on vacation after a period of training. Li Tie did not return to Brazil and had to wait for the start of the top ten matches in September.So I went to my relative's house in Liaoyang to relax.Watching the news of the Liaoyang High School Football Cup on TV, I thought it was nothing to worry about anyway, so I decided to take a look at the level of this group of peers, and take it easy.

In the first half, the confrontation between the two teams was fierce, the players were very excited, the rhythm of offense and defense changed very quickly, and of course there were many mistakes.This is the first time for this group of players to play in front of so many spectators. Excitement is inevitable, but they lack experience in major competitions, especially since Liaoyang Stadium is a small stadium, and the auditorium is only about ten meters away from the edge of the field. It's also stressful.

The on-duty referee is very strict. He is a teacher of the city sports school. In front of so many citizens and leaders, of course he must strictly enforce the law.Teachers who have worked in sports schools for many years know very well that people who practice sports generally have a bad temper. If they can't control fouls on the field, football will turn into free combat, and heads-up will turn into group fights.Fortunately, these players were only interested in getting excited, and didn't think about fouling or anything.In the first few years of the professional league, the Chinese football field was relatively clean.

In the first half, Li Tie looked a little dull. Although he was smiling, the two teams played 2:2 in the first half anyway. Bright.

During the 10-minute intermission, a high school team took the lead in making substitutions, two substitutions at a time. The first one to play was a big black and thin man, who was about the same size as Li Tie and looked like a forward.

That's all, this second one...is this caddy?How did this get to the field?Look at this head, up to 1 meters.Li Tie subconsciously looked left and right, and found that the fans next to him also looked blank.It's not unheard of for young players to play games, but it was an elementary school game.It's surprising that a big player came up in a high school game.And it seems that he is still playing in the frontcourt. Did the first high school risk his life or give up, or is this little guy's family very powerful?

The game started soon, and a goal was scored in the first minute of the second half.The right back passes the ball to the midfielder, and the midfielder distributes the ball to the left midfielder. The left midfielder is the little man. Before the defensive player comes up, he takes a step sideways. In front of the penalty area, when the goalkeeper and defensive players on the second height of the lighthouse hadn't reacted, a black shadow happened to be in place, and it was a volley to meet the incoming ball.The only movement the goalkeeper makes is to turn his head and see the football bouncing in the net.

"Aw!", the stadium was full of howls from the fans.

Li Tie clapped his hands together: "Beautiful!"

This black and thin man looked listless, but suddenly appeared in the right position, and shot cleanly. The key is that the sense of smell in front of the goal is too sensitive.

This black and thin guy is Ma Dong. He was slightly injured during pre-match training, so coach Zhang arranged for him to appear in the second half.With his abundant physical strength and highly concentrated attention, Ma Dong, who is already very skilled, made a quick attack at the beginning of the second half and successfully scored.

However, this was not Ma Dong's only performance. In the following game, the cheers continued to ring out on the field. In the 5th minute, he received a cross from the left midfielder and pushed the ball with his foot in front of the goal.In the 18th minute, after the football made a quick transition in the frontcourt, a half-high ball from the midfielder lobbed the goal. The goalkeeper punched to the right. The left midfielder caught the ball and picked a pass. With a swipe of his left foot, he turned around and volleyed vigorously with his right foot. The goalkeeper judged the wrong direction and watched the score become 2:5. No. 305 minutes, the backcourt diagonally passed to the right midfielder, the right midfielder passed back to the midfielder, the midfielder transitioned to the left midfielder, the left midfielder suddenly kicked, and passed a half-high ball in front of the goal. The goalkeeper hesitated and remained invisible. At this time, Ma Dong, who was next to the lighthouse second-highest defender, was already flying up, diving to the top, 6:2!This is not over. One minute before the end, the left midfielder dribbled in the frontcourt and opened up a shot. The defender raised his foot to block it. Unexpectedly, it was a fake move. After passing the defender, he went straight to the small penalty area, and another central defender hurried forward. To fill the position, unexpectedly the left midfielder suddenly split the ball horizontally, and Ma Dong formed a one-handed attack on the goalkeeper. Ma Dong volleyed vigorously, and the goalkeeper stretched his leg subconsciously. The defender was caught off guard and watched helplessly as the football scored again.

The fans at the scene went crazy, and the loud cheers were louder and louder!Is this a high school football game?Is this my illusion?This is a game with regular coaches and strict law enforcement. This is a game with bonuses, not an exhibition game or a farewell game.Scoring 7 goals in a game, one person arranges [-] goals, Nima, this is China's Ronaldo, right?

Li Tie couldn't sit still for a long time, his hands were blushing, and his voice was hoarse.The excitement of this game, the atmosphere of the scene, has it caught up with A-A, right?The fans and citizens around have gone crazy long ago, and the leaders at the VIP seats as far as they can see have already stood up, shouting, clapping, and jumping like ordinary citizens regardless of their appearance.No one discriminates against the No. [-] Beacon High School. They are all applauding No. [-] High School. Specifically, they are applauding the black and thin player called Ma Dong who was shouted out by the live commentator.

As the final whistle sounded, Ma Dong rushed towards Wang Ai, hugged Wang Ai, and then...he lifted it high, and put it on his shoulder. At this moment, Wang Ai really became a caddy , while crazy about MMP in his heart, while pulling Ma Dong's hair, this guy is crazy today.

This was the most glorious day in Ma Dong's 18-year career. More than 2 fans cheered for him and shouted wildly for him!This feeling is so wonderful!

However, Li Tie did not see this scene. There were too many fans when he left, so Li Tie quietly exited before the finale.Sitting on the bus all the way back to his relatives' house, Li Tie hadn't recovered from his excitement, so he simply picked up the phone. After a while, a middle-aged man's voice sounded: "Hello, who is it?"

"Dad, it's me, Li Tie."
