World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 124 The Loser's Victory
The game ended like this, the Taishan team and all the supporters panicked.Even the coach Li Xiaopeng, who has experienced strong winds and waves, is anxious.

They have reached this juncture. If they are turned over again, it will not only be as simple as being eliminated. I am afraid that it will have an immeasurable negative impact on the team's reputation and the morale of the troops participating in the league and the AFC Champions League.

Therefore, this game must be won!
Don't care if you play well or not, don't care if your relatively conservative style of play will be ridiculed, winning is the number one priority!

Li Xiaopeng waved the flag and retreated across the board!
Jill also stopped playing center forward and returned to his most familiar central defender position.

In the final stage of the game, the Taishan team not only played no front, but also turned into 5 defenders.

Everyone was in an uproar. The Taishan team competed with the amateur team. In the final stage, they actually played 5 guards, and they were strictly guarded!

This is different from the strategic retreat at the end of the first half. At that time, it was due to lack of physical fitness and a strategic contraction waiting for the halftime adjustment; but this time, it was completely frightened by the opponent's sharp attack and momentum.

For a while, criticisms such as "Prefect Li", "ugly football", and "scared to death by the opponent" were heard from the stands.

Criticism or sarcasm, neither side on the field has time to pay attention to the voices of the outside world. One of them is attacking desperately, while the other is defending with all their strength. At the last moment of the game, they gave their all.

Compared to Li Xiaopeng's nervousness, Gao Yuan took it calmly, because Quancheng had already won on Saturday if he could push the Taishan team to the point where they could show their true skills.

As a coach, he has done everything he can do, and the rest is left to fate.

Time passed by every minute and every second, but the closer the game was to the end, everyone's hearts hung higher and higher.

The fourth official on the sidelines held up the stoppage time sign, with 3 minutes left.

The physical fitness of everyone in Quancheng Saturday has reached its limit. Gao Yuan’s bananas and Gatorade have already been used up, and the remaining dozens of reputation points are not enough for even a lottery draw. Now the only thing that can support them is faith.

It's not easy to be single-handedly!
Under the influence of faith, everyone in Quancheng Saturday gritted their teeth. Even though their physical strength has been exhausted and their limits have been exceeded, they continue to run, continue to launch attacks again and again, and launch the final charge and challenge towards the impossible!
91 minutes... 92 minutes... finally reached the 93rd minute.

The referee had already put his whistle in his mouth, and only after Quancheng's last attack on Saturday was over, he blew the whistle for the end of the game.

The ball moved at the front of the penalty area, and the opponent's defense was too tight to make it in. Finally, it was handed over to Xiaoxia's feet.

If the star singles of the NBA decisive moment!At the last moment of the game, any team will choose to hand the ball to its core players.

This is the role and charm of stars in competitive sports!

Xiaoxia did not choose to cooperate with her teammates anymore, because there was no time and space for cooperation, she chose to break through with the ball!

The petite Xiaoxia, like a soldier strapped with explosives, launched a final desperate charge towards the enemy's bunker!

Competing against the tall and strong men's football professional players, Xiaoxia is easily outmatched, but she does not hesitate to excel.

She dodged among the crowd, the ball seemed to stick to her feet, the ball moved with her, dexterously avoiding many obstacles in a small space.

In the penalty area, Xiaoxia's figure is like a swimming dragon, like a frightened bird, like a dancing butterfly, dancing gracefully, flashing past one defensive player after another in an instant.

"Stop her!" Li Xiaopeng yelled anxiously from the sidelines, completely disregarding his handsome image.

The defenders dare not make too many moves in the penalty area, but they can't break the ball with a hasty kick, so they can only use the advantage of the local number to compress the space and form an iron wall.

Just when everyone's attention was drawn to Xiaoxia, she suddenly passed the ball covertly.

The ball rolled sideways to the other side of the penalty area, where no one was guarding, but at some point, a Quancheng Saturday player was ambushed.

It was Quancheng's black and hard foreign aid Enmho on Saturday.

He is so close to the goal!
At that moment, time seemed to stop, and the air seemed to freeze. Inside and outside the Olympic Sports Center, in front of all the TVs broadcasting the game, everyone couldn't help holding their breath, and everyone's eyes were all focused on Emho, who was unguarded in the penalty area.

The unguarded Enmho stopped the ball very steadily. Looking up, he saw the goalkeeper Wang Dalei who was desperately moving to this side. The face of Guomen, who was always full of confidence, was full of panic at this moment.

Emmho took a deep breath, without any further hesitation, swung his legs and feet, and shot!

The ball flew up and went straight to the goal!
This close distance is as far away as the endless galaxy; this moment is as long as eternal history.

All focus is on the flying ball.

Watching it fly towards the goal, higher than the crossbar, and towards the stands...

Enmho, whose shooting attribute is only 8, failed to defeat himself and created a miracle. This lore opportunity that was close at hand, like countless shots in the past, shot away without any suspense!

"Wow~~~" Everyone in the Taishan team, as well as their fans, let out a long sigh of relief.But the heart was still beating violently because of the rest of his life.

"Squeak-cheep-cheep"

Three sharp whistles sounded, and the referee announced the end of the game.

The Chinese Super League giants Taishan team, who played at home, defeated the amateur team Quancheng Saturday with a score of 3:2.

Quancheng was eliminated on Saturday!
Unfortunately, their FA Cup journey stopped at this moment.

But each of them didn't have much sadness except for the regret that couldn't be concealed, because they knew that they had tried their best and surpassed themselves.

At this moment, although they lost the game, they won the respect of the world and their own lives!

In the studio, He Wei felt sorry for Enmho's wasted opportunity to kill:
"The stadium is like life. It is the uncertain factors on the football field that make the sport so exciting. These uncertainties are the real charm of football. Isn't this the same as life? A fleeting opportunity, if seized, it will be converted into a score, but after all, the few who catch it will often miss more!"

Players from both sides walked to the middle of the court, lined up and shook hands with each other.

Wang Dalei, who seemed arrogant and arrogant during the competition, hugged Huang Mao's shoulder affectionately at this moment:

"Brother, your shot is really good! There are not many people in the Chinese Super League who can shoot with your strength and angle. In the game, I deliberately provoke you. Don't worry about it, keep it up!"

The foreign aid Jill put his two thick arms around Baresi in the eastern suburbs with one hand, and Gao Fushuai with the other, and joked in English:
"You two defended well and caused me a lot of trouble, but fortunately I am tall and can win headers!"

Baresi in the eastern suburbs couldn't understand, and his face was blank.Gao Fushuai has drunk foreign ink, and he can even speak Portuguese.He said in Portuguese: "It's fun to be able to fight against the central defender of the Brazilian national team! I will sign my autograph later!"

When Jill heard that the other party could speak Portuguese, he was even more happy, and shouted to Fellaini on the bench: "Manovan, take a photo with these two difficult guys!"

The famous former Manchester United star Fellaini has a good temper. He trotted around, took out his mobile phone and took pictures of the three of them.

In the photo, Jill, who looks like a black iron tower, has a bright smile and white teeth; while the two fat men on the left and right have different expressions, the young fat man also smiles brightly, while the other middle-aged fat man has a perplexed face.

And more players are interested in No. 38 who has performed well. Several people approached him and asked him if he played professionally, where did he learn from, and how his skills are so good.The ashamed and dark Xiaoxia bowed her head in silence, her face flushed.

It wasn't until Duan Liuyu, a highly myopic U23 teenager and optician master, wanted to exchange jerseys with Xiaoxia in public.

The eldest brother Zhang Chi quietly put his arms around Duan Liuyu's shoulders, and said with a smile, "You shameless brat, let other girls change clothes with you in public!"

Duan Liuyu was puzzled: "Girl? Who is a girl?"

Zhang Chi smiled and pointed at the back of No. 38 going away.

"Ah? It's real or fake, it's impossible! They used female football players, which violated the rules!" Duan Liuyu exclaimed.

"Hush, keep your voice down," Zhang Chi made a hushed gesture, "It's illegal to use male players in women's football, but is it illegal to use female players in men's football? It's embarrassing enough for a professional team to almost fail an amateur team, but wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if an amateur team with female players couldn't even beat an amateur team? If the outside world finds out, that female player almost ruined the professional team on her own, it's a shame! ?”

The young Duan Liuyu nodded half-understood: "O"

On the sidelines, Li Xiaopeng took the initiative to walk over to Gao Yuan, and the two held hands tightly.

Li Xiaopeng carefully looked at the young man in front of him, and he said seriously after a while: "Young man, your team is very good! Your coaching level is also very high! But you are so young, you should not just waste your talent on an amateur team, you should go to a professional team early, learn more while you are young, and work hard in the professional league. You still have a long way to go in the future, and the future of Chinese football depends on young people like you!"

Gao Yuan felt excited. Is this to recruit himself?Are you ready to offer yourself an offer from the Taishan team?

While saying "thank you", he looked at Li Xiaopeng expectantly, expecting his next sentence to say, "You are really good, I am optimistic about you, and report to the Taishan team tomorrow morning!"

However, Li Xiaopeng didn't say anything else, just smiled and patted Gao Yuan on the shoulder lightly.

Gao Yuan was a little disappointed.But after thinking about it, I'm relieved, it's not a YY novel at the beginning, how can I say that I fall in love with you immediately, and I won't marry you if you are the only one?Besides, the Taishan team is a large state-owned enterprise, and the selection and appointment of personnel is not up to Li Xiaopeng himself.

This scene happened to be captured by the camera at the scene.

In the studio, He Wei and Xu Yang also saw this scene.

Xu Yang said with a smile: "Although I can't hear what the two coaches are saying, judging from Li Xiaopeng's actions, he seems to appreciate the young Gao Yuan. Li Xiaopeng is a famous young coach in China, but Gao Yuan is younger. We often say that young players are the future of Chinese football, but why not coaches? I hope that in the future, more and more young coaches will emerge in domestic football, and they will break out a different path for Chinese football!"

He Wei interpreted it from another angle:

"What is weakness? It is the anger of the weak. It is roughly similar to the shame of the representatives of the Qing Empire at the signing table of the Shimonoseki Treaty, or the helplessness of the representatives of Czechoslovakia at the Munich Conference; then what is strength? It is the humility of the strong. It is roughly similar to the empathy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when he accepted the tribute from the envoys of the Yelang Kingdom, or the enthusiasm of Tang officials when they received the Japanese envoys dispatched by the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xiaopeng and the Taishan players showed friendliness and humility to their opponents, which is the confidence of the strong; but Gao Yuan and his players don't have to panic, they can accept it calmly and neither humble nor overbearing, because they have won the respect of their opponents by their outstanding performance! "

Finally, the two narrators summed up the game.

Xu Yang: "This is a wonderful game that was beyond the expectations before the game! The two sides come and go, not giving in to each other; the coaches of both sides are also fighting wits and courage, each with unique moves. Although there are winners in the result of the game, there are no losers from the spiritual level.

The biggest beneficiary of such a game is the fans, it is Chinese football!If there are more competitions like this, if there are more amateur teams like Quancheng Saturday, and if there are more outstanding young coaches like Gao Yuan, will the revitalization of Chinese football be far behind? "

The concluding words of the poet He Wei are as gorgeous as poetry and as elegant as prose:

"In every knockout match, a team is destined to leave. This is like a parting season. The air is full of sadness. This is life.

Everyone has such an age, when we believe that there is eternity in this world, we feel that time is very long, and goodbye is far away.But the price of growth is to face all kinds of parting; the cruelty of growth is to learn that there is no eternity.

There is no banquet in the world that never ends, a lonely person is not shameful, and no one can avoid parting.Sadness, just maybe it happened to hit you this time!

So my friends, don't be sad when a good team is eliminated, because this may just be the prelude to the next meeting.I hope to see this admirable grassroots team again in the FA Cup next year, and even in the professional league in the future!

At that time, everyone looked at each other and smiled, it turned out that no one had left, and said, so you were there!
I am He Wei, audience friends, goodbye! "
