On Saturday, on the Jiangtan football field, standing opposite Haohui U19 was an old rival. Chang Cheng’s first warm-up opponent after leading the team was a team from a certain public security department. The two people standing at the kick-off point were exactly the same number.

Two acquaintances who scored the first goal for Haohui U19. They were chatting with smiles, discussing how many goals they could score today, and occasionally glanced at Chen Ying and Li Feng outside the center circle.

When the referee's opening whistle sounded, they realized that the current Haohui U19 was different from three months ago. Wan Li, the goalkeeper, had excellent goal-line skills, solid basic skills, and his reactions were faster than three months ago.

A lot.

Dong Zhi, Fan Yi, Wang Hong, and Fu Qing defended tightly and cooperated with each other tacitly. The defense line they formed was like a city wall, giving no chance to their opponents.

Wei Yan and Li Junwei swept in front of the back line, clearing away various threats or potential threats.

Zhou Xiaoyi and Zhu Wu are separated on both sides. Zhu Wu uses his good passing ball to create opportunities. Zhou Xiaoyi always wanders to the middle, leaving a gap for Fu Qing, who is good at assists. He can also organize attacks in the middle and play more

offensive tactics.

The forward line composed of forwards Li Feng and Chen Ying needs height, speed, and speed. Now Chen Ying not only relies on his height and header to attack, but his footwork has also improved greatly. Although he can't

He is very good at playing, but the football passed to his feet is not so easy to lose, and he can still find opportunities to shoot. Not to mention Li Feng, who is strong, fast, and has exquisite footwork. He can be called a model of all-round forward. And

Now Li Feng is more concise and straightforward than before. He can do it with one kick and never with two.

The performance of Haohui U19 made this team from the public security department a little confused. Is this the team that we abused like dogs three months ago? Is this a group of wolves, or a group of wolves who cooperate with each other tacitly, staring at their prey?

of wolves.

Being confused on the field is not a good thing, you have to pay the price. In the 17th minute, Haohui U19 counterattacked, Zhou Xiaoyi seized the gap and passed the ball through. In the penalty area, Li Feng grabbed the football in front of the opponent's defender. The defender

In desperation, he pulled Li Feng's jersey and immediately let go. He was afraid that Li Feng would be sentenced to a penalty kick if he was lying in the penalty area. However, Li Feng also lost the opportunity due to this pull. His center of gravity was unstable and he staggered toward

Run forward and chase the football.

At the same time, the opponent's goalkeeper also pounced, lowering his center of gravity, spreading his arms, and trying to expand the defensive area.

Faced with this unfavorable situation, Li Feng remained calm. Before falling to the ground, he lifted the ball with his toes. The football flew high, over the goalkeeper's head, and into the goal. The opponent's goalkeeper and defenders were stunned. This is okay!

?

Just like that, Haohui U19 took the lead. The opponent who was already confused became even more confused. Within two minutes, the front four team cooperated continuously and finally distributed the ball to the left. Zhu Wu passed the ball directly without stopping, and followed from the center.

Chen Ying scored another goal with a header.

Only twenty minutes into the first half, Haohui U19 was already leading 2-0. The opponent's coach had no choice but to shout loudly, asking the players to hold back a little and make sure not to concede another goal.

After receiving the coach's new instructions, the opposing players recovered a little and shrank to their own half to defend with all their strength. Haohui U19 did not score another goal until the end of the first half.

In the second half of the game, the opponents recovered and showed their due strength. The two sides fought hard to separate each other. In the end, both sides scored a goal each in the second half. Haohui U19 won 3-1.

During training the next day, Chang Cheng gathered everyone in the club meeting room to watch the video of the game. Chang Cheng asked the players to put forward their own opinions on the game.

At the beginning, everyone was a little cautious. After Chen Ying and Zhou Xiaoyi expressed their opinions, everyone gradually became active and expressed their thoughts one after another.

Chang Cheng then struck while the iron was hot and worked with the players to formulate a training plan for the week. The players were so enthusiastic that they never thought that they could participate in the formulation of the training plan. Even Ning Xiang and Huang Junwei, who were always in moods, actively participated.

Of course, you must complete the training you set up 100%, and 200% is not an exaggeration. For a while, the players were training like they were preparing for the World Cup.

On Saturday, it was another warm-up match. The players of Haohui U19 stood on the court, their bodies ignited with blazing fighting spirit, and their high momentum directly overwhelmed their opponents. The final score reflected it well.

Compare one.

In this way, after every game, Chang Cheng will gather everyone in the conference room to discuss the game. Then plan the training for the next week. If the game is not worth discussing, Chang Cheng will also collect games from the five major leagues for everyone to study and discuss.

Time flies very fast, and it is the end of the year in a blink of an eye. The weather is getting colder and colder, but the enthusiasm of Haohui U19 players is getting higher and higher, and their reputation in Jiangcheng is getting better and better. The past two months of games have been played

The majesty of Haohui U19. Even the head coach of the first team competing in the second division is inspecting these players and preparing to select a few to add to the first team.

"It's the end of the year, and the Lunar New Year Cup will be a youth event at the beginning of next year. The club has decided to let our team participate on behalf of the club." On Christmas Eve, team leader Zhao Jun announced the team's decision to participate in the Lunar New Year Cup.

The Lunar New Year Cup is a traditional event that is held at the beginning of every year. There are eight participating teams, divided into two groups. The top two qualify, and then a cross-elimination tournament is held. The winner enters the finals. Generally, the participants are from all over the country.

The U19 youth army sometimes invites U19 players from foreign clubs to participate. However, this time no foreign teams were invited, and the eight participating teams were all domestic teams.

The players cheered and began to actively prepare for the game. Finally, there was a formal game to play. They were tired of the warm-up matches, and the players needed a higher-level competition to stimulate them.

"Brother Hao, the odds for the Lunar New Year Cup are out this time. Our odds are a bit low, and we are regarded as a strong team. It seems that we can't make much money by ourselves." Bai Mu picked up the coffee and took a sip.

"Are we strong? What are the odds?" Gao Jinhao was stunned for a moment, not believing it.

"The odds are the second lowest among the eight participating teams. Second only to the favorite Beijing Guoan U19 by two percentage points..."

"Beijing Guoan is the U19 league champion after all, and our team is only tenth. How come the odds are almost the same?" Before Bai Mu could finish speaking, Gao Jinhao's face darkened, "Is someone up to something?"

"No." Bai Mu was nervous, but it didn't show on his face. He knew this brother Hao too well. Although he was a serious businessman now, his first pot of gold was stained with blood.

"Brother Hao, the performance of the team has skyrocketed since coach Chang led the team. In the past two months, he has beaten several well-known teams in Jiangcheng football circle, and his reputation has been established. Mr. Huang and the others have lowered the odds.

of."

"Oh? Are we already so strong?" Gao Jinhao turned from anger to joy.

"Yes. You are so busy, how can you have time to get to know them. They are playing better every game now. No one in the entire Jiangcheng circle dares to underestimate us, even the head coach of our first team is inspecting them. And he said

, this U19 team can be ranked in the second division league, and individual players have the strength to stand in the first division team." This time it was Bai Jing who took over.

"Brother Hao, it's good if we don't lose this time. The odds are a bit low. Why don't you talk to Mr. Huang and raise your stakes a little bit?" Bai Mu was still thinking about making money.

"No, since Mr. Huang and the others have decided it, let's go with it. It's just a youth competition, and we can still afford the money. Our focus is next year's Chinese Super League and Chinese League One. For now, just play the youth competition.

." Gao Jinhao didn't seem to care and waved his hand to say no more.

At the same time, Chang Cheng was holding a mobilization meeting in the conference room.

"This is our first time participating in the Lunar New Year Cup. There are also U19s from several Chinese Super League teams in the participating teams, such as Guoan and Jianye. Especially Guoan U19 is the champion of this year's youth league. Facing strong teams

, I hope you can compete with your level and style, and learn a lot from them. Seize this opportunity to learn." Team leader Zhao Jun's speech made the players roll their eyes.

Chang Cheng was also speechless, and it was difficult to get angry, so he had to wait for Zhao Jun's study-first speech to finish before he stood up and spoke.

"Leader Zhao is right. There are indeed several stronger teams participating this time. But we are lucky. Guoan U19 is not grouped with us. Let's first talk about the three teams that are grouped with us.

One is our old rival, Chongqing Southern. We are familiar with this team, so we won’t talk about it for now. The second team is from Shanghai, Shanghai Football Association U19, and its strength is unknown. The third team is Xi’an Chan.

Ba U19, the strength is unknown."

"That means that except for Chongqing Southern, we are blind to the other two teams? This kind of encounter is not easy to win." Zhou Xiaoyi asked.

"There are so many people who are difficult to fight. No matter if they are of unknown strength or ominous, just keep hitting them. We are not vegetarians." Chen Ying did not wait for Chang Cheng to speak, jumped up and shouted loudly, causing a commotion.

, other players expressed their agreement.

"Having confidence is a good thing, but if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in every battle. I have asked someone to find their information. And we still have the opportunity to understand each other."

"How to say?" Fan Yi asked.

"Because our first opponent is Chongqing Southern, in this case, we have the opportunity to observe and understand the other two teams. There is still some time before the game. During this time, we have to pay attention to both. First, train well and enhance our own strength.

Hard power. Secondly, it’s our coach’s business, try to find information and game videos of other participating teams.”

"Coach, do we have a chance to go further this time?" Li Feng suddenly asked.

"Huh? How far do you want to go?" Chang Cheng looked at Li Feng with interest.

"Well, um, you can go as far as you can."
