football fight

Chapter 113
The No.14 round of the league has progressed, and St. Friedom has shown a dark horse posture, closely following the leading group.

The Huaxi Magic Dragon team is St. Friedom's opponent in this round. They come from the beautiful scenery of Guizhou.

The name of the team comes from the Guizhou dragon found in Xingyi City, Guizhou Province, a prehistoric animal very similar to the plesiosaur, and the main element of their team emblem is derived from this.

This is a team with both offense and defense. They have performed well in the Super League in recent seasons. Their goal this season is to hit the AFC seat.

The two teams are very close in ranking, so this game is very important for both teams, and the winning side can gain an advantage in the next schedule.

It was raining on the day of the race, but fortunately it was not heavy.There was light rain over the renovated Guizhou Dragon Stadium, and the venue became a bit slippery.

Guizhou Dragon Stadium still uses the design of the old-fashioned stadium, retains the runway, and specially upgrades the quality of the lawn. There are 45000 seats on site.

The players warmed up in the light rain. Football is a sport regardless of the weather. For them, this is nothing.

Of course, enthusiastic fans will not reduce their cheering because of the light rain, even though the semi-open dome will make some fans get wet.

Zhang Hao was seriously injured and Han Beifeng was in a sluggish state. The young Xu Jundao was selected into the starting lineup again. This time he was still fighting in the central defender position.

Kong Pengyu is still the starting right winger, he has already settled in this position, and his ability has been recognized by everyone.

For St. Friedom, there is also good news today, that is, the suspension of the midfielder Fang Zheng is over and he can participate in the game.

"The field is a bit slippery today, and there may be water. Everyone should pay attention to their passing power." Chen Shixiong instructed before the game.

"Secondly, there is the midfield fight of the Magic Dragons. This is their unique skill. Be careful and play the ball quickly."

A few days before the game, Chen Shixiong, as always, studied the playing style of the team he was going to play against, and focused on watching the videos of their recent games.

The home team uniform of Huaxi Magic Dragon is navy blue, which is their game clothing designed according to the costumes of ethnic minorities.

When the game started, the light rain continued, and the clothes on the players and referees were soaked in a short time.

The Huaxi Magic Dragon team won the opening ball. After kick-off, they did not rush to attack and passed it steadily.

St. Friedom immediately launched a high-position press, and controlling the ball is the top priority of the core concept of the two teams' games.

The field was more slippery than expected. Not long after the game started, players slipped and fell, and the turf was kicked up in some places.

As a result, the difficulty of fighting for the ball has greatly increased, not only for the ball-scrambling side, but also for the ball-controlling side.

In response to St. Friedom's press, they only left a single forward in the frontcourt, and the remaining five midfielders were all entangled with them near the center circle.

In each game of St. Friedom, the one who regained the ball the most times is Ke Xinxing, and he also played this feature in this game.

He and the opponent's right midfielder's feet were about to get entangled, but he still didn't take half a step back and successfully broke the ball from the opponent's feet.

Xu Wenli appeared near him and received the ball from him. Instead of directly attacking, he passed the ball to the backcourt.

He wants to widen the defensive distance of the Magic Dragons. They are now crowded with the Magic Dragons, and the offense cannot easily be played.

The only single striker of the Magic Dragons left in the frontcourt hurriedly put pressure on the defender who received the ball. He did his job, but he couldn't let St. Fridhom comfortably control the ball anyway.

After the goalkeeper Lin Ce received the ball from the defender, he took a big kick to prevent mistakes in such weather.

This big foot almost indirectly assisted Pu Tingfeng in the frontcourt. The opponent's central defender slipped when he stopped the ball and failed to stop the ball. Hold it steady.

This time the Dragons' pass didn't go as smoothly as St. Friedhom concentrated the pressure on their side of the pass and cut off the ball again.

The ball arrived at Kong Pengyu's feet. According to his habit, after the transmission, he will definitely try to surpass others. This time he intends to use his speed.

But he kicked the ground hard, and what he got in exchange was not the usual explosive power, but a solid slip, and the humidity of the court also affected him.

Fortunately, his teammates were very strong. After he lost the ball, he countered immediately and kept the ball.

Kong Pengyu patted his muddy and grass-stained knees. This fall had little effect on him, and he rejoined the game.

He began to reduce the number of times he relied on speed to surpass others. He would slip or stagger when he accelerated today. This situation had occurred several times in the first half.

The ball came to his feet again, this time he was out of the way, a long diagonal pass to Gao Feijie on the left, and it was delivered to his feet accurately, and he found the space on that side.

Gao Feijie didn't intend to give up his extraordinary speed, but he didn't fall down due to his acceleration, and he ran wildly on the left side like splitting the rain.

On the left side of the penalty area, he passed the ball in an inverted triangle, Xu Wenli stopped the ball, and Kong Pengyu on the right caught up at this time.

Xu Wenli set up a cannon for Kong Pengyu and gave him a chance to blast the door.

Kong Pengyu adjusted his pace, took small steps, and calmly kicked and shot.

But he slipped again, and the moment he shot, he lost his balance, and the ball was kicked high by him.

Kong Pengyu, who was sitting on the ground, stood up and stomped his feet, as if he was complaining about the grass. It was a pity that the ball went flying.

"Didn't that kid wear spiked shoes today?" Chen Shixiong, who was on the sidelines, was asking the logistics staff. He seemed to have noticed that Kong Pengyu had slipped and fell.

"I'm ready. If he doesn't wear the spiked shoes, they will still be inside." The staff member said and pointed to the direction of the locker room.

"I can tell from this that the shoes are not worn right. He must have worn them with short nails. Remember to remind him to change them later." Chen Shixiong took a sip of mineral water from his seat.

Although it was raining at the scene, Chen Shixiong still stood on the sidelines to direct, not like a 70-year-old man at all.

The first half ended in a tie between the two sides. Because of the weather, they made mistakes, so neither side could complete the goal.

"Look at your shoes to see if anyone else is wearing short nails. Change them now." Chen Shixiong said while Kong Pengyu was changing shoes.

"Look at those who are not playing, you may play at any time." He also reminded the substitute players to pay attention.

On wet and slippery grounds, shoes with long spikes have stronger grip and are not easy to slip, while short spikes are easy for players to slip.

"Everyone did a good job in the first half. Let's continue in the second half. Don't panic," Chen Shixiong said. "The offense on both sides has to fight. Their defensive focus is in the middle, and they limit our penetration in the middle."
