Seven Crowns

The start time of the group stage is basically 9:00 am and 15:00 pm.

However, in order to take care of the opening ceremony, the game time of the opener was postponed, as was the other games held on the same day.

At 10:00 on the morning of August 11, with the whistle of the referee, the 2007 China High School Football League National Finals Group G match between Guizhou Meijiang Middle School VS Inner Mongolia Baogang No. 1 Middle School officially kicked off.

The football stadium of Tianjin No. 9 Middle School has no stands, and the two out-of-town teams cannot attract many spectators. There are only coaches, substitutes, team doctors of the two teams on the sidelines, and a small number of teachers and students who are responsible for the reception work of Tianjin No. 9 Middle School.

Of course, there was also a young reporter with a camera, presumably a trainee reporter from Tianjin TV station, who was in charge of the press release records of the game.

Everyone wanted to see a high-level showdown between the two provincial champions.

However, the scene that appeared at the beginning of the game made the players and coaches of the two teams on the sidelines look at each other, and the teachers and students of Tianjin No. 9 Middle School, who were neutral audience members, also laughed.

It turned out that when Inner Mongolia Baogang No. 1 Middle School kicked off, except for Lu Wenbin who ran across the midline to the opponent's half, all the other players in Meijiang Middle School did not cross the half.

Moreover, the defender and the midfielder all retracted to within 30 meters of the goal.

For a team from Guizhou, without the right to kick off, there is no problem in retracting the defense and preventing the opponent's opening fast break.

But what is unexpected is that Inner Mongolia Baogang No. 1 Middle School, which got the right to kick off, also did exactly the same as Meijiang Middle School.

Not only did they pass the ball all the way back, but most players didn't run forward, sprinting across the midline to attack, but retreated into their own half to be ready to defend.

As a result, most of the two teams retracted their own half, and only Lu Wenbin and one of the opponent's forwards were left near the center line, staring wide-eyed, and the scene was quite funny.

Meijiang Middle School doesn't have the ball at the feet, so it is understandable to shrink back to defense and wait for the opponent's attack.

But Baogang No. 1 Middle School, which has the ball, also did the same. After kick-off, instead of attacking, it passed back to the backcourt and passed the ball back and forth, which was very funny.

Obviously, both teams are wary of the risk of conceding the ball in the opening game. Even Baogang No. 1 Middle School, who got the ball, was too cautious, for fear that the ball would be robbed by the other side.

Although such a funny scene only lasted for more than ten seconds, Baogang No. 1 Middle School realized the problem from the laughter of the audience. The player with the ball quickly ran to the half court of Meijiang Middle School with the ball. Move forward, ready to attack.

However, this funny scene jointly produced by Meijiang Middle School and Baogang No. 1 Middle School has already been reflected in the minds of the audience on the sidelines.

If they were reported by that reporter, Meijiang Middle School and Baogang No. 1 Middle School would be embarrassed.

After Baogang No. 1 Middle School started to attack, the game finally returned to normal. Baogang No. 1 Middle School, which had the ball, was responsible for the offense, while Meijiang Middle School contracted the defense.

Although the game returned to normal, Baogang No. 1 still played very cautiously.

Although they are the champions of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, it is also the first time for them to represent Inner Mongolia in the national finals. They have no experience and are not strong enough.

As for Meijiang Middle School, the defensive counterattack that they had already played, plus the first group match, the opponent's strength was unknown, so it was inevitable to play conservatively.

Until 10 minutes into the game, neither side had a shot on goal.

When Baogang No. 1 Middle School attacked, all members of Meijiang Middle School except Lu Wenbin returned to the defense, and Baogang No. 1 Middle School could not find any chance to shoot.

When Meijiang Middle School fought back,

Baotou Steel No. 1 Middle School also returned to the defense, strictly guarding against it.

Although Lu Wenbin's basic skills attributes are very high, comparable to professional players, but after all, he is only 17 years old, and it is the first time to participate in the national finals. Lu Wenbin is a little nervous and does not play normally.

In the first 10 minutes of the two counterattack opportunities, Lu Wenbin only seized one and completed the shot. However, even this shot, he failed to hit the goal frame, but flew over the crossbar.

Ten minutes later, the nervousness in Lu Wenbin's heart gradually disappeared, and he played better and better.

Although through the formation and the performance of the first 10 minutes, Baogang No. 1 Middle School already knew that Lu Wenbin was a sharp-edged figure who fought back at Meijiang Middle School, and his strength was definitely not bad.

However, Lu Wenbin's two counterattacks only resulted in one shot, and he did not play within the range of our goal frame, which made Baogang No. 1 players make mistakes in judging Lu Wenbin's strength and did not attract attention.

Baogang No. 1 Middle School did not know Lu Wenbin's true strength, and did not conduct a multi-person siege against Lu Wenbin.

This gave Lu Wenbin a chance to perform.

In the 17th minute, Lu Wenbin got another chance to counterattack.

However, after passing a person, he shot wide of the goal post under the interference of the opponent's last central defender, and still did not hit the goal frame.

The shot that missed the goal still did not attract the attention of the players of Baogang No.1 Middle School.

It's really hard for people to pay attention to someone who has never understood and who has yet to score or assist.

Even if Lu Wenbin is a little faster and dribbling a little better, after all, the game has just begun, and it will not make people who have never known him before feel like an enemy.

On the contrary, it was Meijiang Middle School's attitude of being unstoppable, which reassured the players of Baogang No.

Meijiang Middle School came up with such a tactic and attitude, proving that Meijiang Middle School is not strong enough. If you are really strong, you should stand up and fight with your opponents openly, rather than shrinking and defending.

But now, only one Lu Wenbin was cruising in front of Meijiang Middle School, and the others all huddled behind to defend, for fear of being scored.

Such tactics and attitudes clearly show that they are a weak team.

The seed team of Group G, Shanghai Datong Middle School, will definitely occupy one of the qualifying places, while Baogang No.

Since Meijiang Middle School is weak, Baogang No. 1 Middle School may be able to try to win the Meijiang Middle School, and then compete with Xining No. 1 Middle School to win the match, and have the opportunity to compete for another qualifying spot.

As a result, the players of Inner Mongolia Baogang No. 1 Middle School, who were in a very uneasy mood at the beginning and played very cautiously, gradually became more confident. Even the full-backs began to rush to assist, and they would not come back.

Such an approach is naturally exactly what the coaches and players of Meijiang Middle School wanted.
