Chapter 23 Qingshan Counterattack
"call--"

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, his eyes fixed on the goalkeeper of Yuning No. 2 Middle School. No one knew what was in his mind at the moment.

"beep"

The referee blew the whistle, Jiang Yuan held his breath, and slowly changed his rhythm while running. Before the last shot, Jiang Yuan noticed the direction in which the goalkeeper's center of gravity was moving.

right!

Jiang Yuan kicked the ball out, the speed of the ball was not very fast, and the angle was not tricky. But fortunately, Jiang Yuan hit the ball in the right direction, and the goalkeeper who dived to the right could not stop Jiang Yuan from hitting the ball to the left!
“The ball goes in—!”

The male commentator shouted excitedly, and he shouted the last word "了" for a long time until he ran out of air in his lungs.

After scoring the goal, Jiang Yuan rushed straight out of the field. He wanted to hug the classmates from Qingshan No. 6 Middle School who cheered him on, but he was intercepted by head coach He Qiongshan halfway.

"Well done!"

He Qiongshan ran towards Jiang Yuan and gave him a bear hug. He held Jiang Yuan's arms tightly and his face flushed.

As the head coach, He Qiongshan was under a lot of pressure in the second half. As last year's champion, he didn't want to lose early in the group stage. This would not only be detrimental to the subsequent schedule, but also embarrassing.

"Coach, um...when can you let me go?"

Jiang Yuan was speechless. Although He Qiongshan was a bit old, his muscles were very strong. Jiang Yuan's arms were a little sore from the hug.

He Qiongshan quickly let go and asked a little embarrassedly: "My my, are you okay?"

But before Jiang Yuan could say anything, Jin Junjie, who came running from the venue, came over and rode directly on Jiang Yuan's shoulders. Yang Rui, who came from behind, also wanted to jump up, but he was not tall enough.

What the hell!

Jiang Yuan just felt like someone was pulling him from the back and he almost fell to the ground.

However, compared to the joy of scoring a goal, this little "pressure" is nothing.

"Well done!"

Jin Junjie kissed Jiang Yuan's hair.

The audience in the live broadcast room were also extremely excited at this time. This game had special meaning to them. In fact, their desire for Qingshan Middle School to win was even stronger than that of the players on the scene.

[What did I say? I said the game would turn around in the second half. Whoever said it was a draw just now, stand up!]

【Thank you Jiang Yuan for saving my life! 】

[I have to say, I didn’t expect campus football to be so exciting! ]

[It’s mainly No. 7 from Qingshan Middle School. His performance can be summarized in four words: a promising future! ]

【Every number 7 is not simple! 】

……

The second half of the game continued. Since Yuning No. 2 Middle School had one player sent off, Qingshan Middle School had basically no pressure in the following time.

Taking the players' physical strength into consideration, He Qiongshan replaced Jiang Yuan less than 2 minutes after he scored. Center forward Jin Junjie was also replaced.

"Don't think too much, just shoot when you have a chance, why the hell are you passing this ball?"

Jiang Yuan sat on the bench, listening closely to He Qiongshan directing the players on the field.

It can be seen that the substitutes were not without reason. In addition to the most basic shooting problem, their timing of passing was far inferior to that of the two starters, Jiang Yuan and Jin Junjie. However, the good thing is that Yuning No. 2 Middle School is now behind and one man short. In the second half, Qingshan Middle School threatened Yuning's goal many times.

……

"Beep beep beep"

The referee blew the final whistle, and Asimu's final shot in front of the goal widened the score gap for Qingshan Middle School. The final score was 3:1, and Qingshan Middle School won again.

"Qingshan is awesome, Yuning is trash, Qingshan is awesome, Yuning is trash"

"Qingshan Middle School is awesome!"

"Yuning No.2 Middle School, yuuuuu——"

The students of Qingshan No. 6 Middle School outside the field were cheering loudly. This game of Qingshan Middle School could be regarded as a revenge for the football team of Qingshan No. 6 Middle School.

Head coach Gong Yulong lowered his head, looking indescribably lost.

On the other hand, the players of Qingshan Middle School, which won the game, were so happy that they bumped into each other, just like a group of children being praised.

This may be the charm of football. They scored three goals in a row to reverse the situation after falling behind 0:1. Although this game was much more tense than the 3:4 victory over Chongli Middle School yesterday, the joy brought to the players by winning the tense game is incomparable to any crushing victory.

After the game, He Qiongshan did not shake hands with Gong Yulong. Instead, he brought all the players from Qingshan Middle School to the edge of the field, stood in a line, and bowed to the students from No. 6 Middle School who supported them.

"Clap clap clap clap!"

The audience burst into warm applause and watched the Qingshan Middle School bus leave the school.

On the team bus, He Qiongshan took advantage of the joy of winning to analyze the strategy for the next game to the players, which was the last game of the group stage against Qunying Foreign Language School.

"The next match will be against the group of heroes the day after tomorrow afternoon. Everyone should take a good rest in between."

"I have also made some adjustments to the lineup. Jiang Yuan, Jin Junjie and Chen Yushuo, who started these two days, seem to be quite tired, so when we play against the heroes, I will use the substitutes first, and then the main players in the second half depending on the situation."

He Qiongshan still has great authority in the team, and no one refutes him when he speaks.

Jiang Yuan just sat in his seat and did not question He Qiongshan's arrangement. On the contrary, Jiang Yuan thought that He Qiongshan's lineup arrangement was quite good. Although he did not play the entire game today and yesterday, he relied on his speed and consumed a lot of energy in each game. It was quite good to have a day off.

He Qiongshan continued, "The strength of the group of heroes is the weakest in the group, but we must not underestimate the enemy. If we draw the day after tomorrow, we can qualify as the first in the group, but I don't want a draw, do you understand me?"

"understand!"

The players answered in unison, who would want a draw if they could win?
"Finally, I want to say that everyone's performance today was very good, especially Jiang Yuan, who sprinted no less than 20 times throughout the game, which is really awesome. If the situation allows the day after tomorrow, Jiang Yuan, you don't need to play."

He Qiongshan said to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan nodded. Taking a break was just what he wanted. As long as the substitute lineup the day after tomorrow could maintain the lead before 70 minutes, he could rest.

The problem is, according to Jiang Yuan's memory, in the previous life, they had a draw with the Qun Ying, but Qingshan Middle School still advanced as the first in the group.

But at this moment, a mechanical sound rang in Jiang Yuan's mind.

[Trigger task: Play for no less than 15 minutes in the match against Qunying Foreign Language School the day after tomorrow, and score at least 1 goal or assist]
