I'm not really a god of rebirth

Chapter 392 The First Battle of Shenghai

Yu Haiming and Song Maochun were full of energy, and it took only a few months to form the team.

The players are mainly based on the youth training players of Song Maochun and Xu Baosheng, and also recruited a few old players who retired from the Super League.

Before the game, Li Dong, Erjiu and others met with the team members.

Li Dong encouraged everyone, and told everyone, don't have any psychological burden, let go of your hands and feet to kick, as long as you can bring out Sheng Hai's energy, the result is not important.

To be honest, Li Dong really didn't have much confidence in this team.

The team has only been formed for a few months, what can we do with this little time?
Not to mention the tactical system and the like, I'm afraid the players are not familiar with each other yet.

What's more, these players are said to be old, weak, sick and disabled, which is a bit exaggerated, but they are really old and young.

Several old players who retired from the Super League are all in their 40s and [-]s.

When Li Dong was in elementary school, these people were already playing football.

It has been 20 years at least.

It is almost the same era as Yu Haiming and Song Maochun.

Although these people were all famous football stars back then, even Li Dong, who rarely watched football games, knew their names.

However, it is hard to say how much strength he will have left as he is about to retire.

Li Dong was even worried, could this old arm and leg still hold on?

Except for these old ones, the rest are a bunch of little dolls.

Fifteen six, seventeen eight.

It's really not even hair.

Li Dong looked at the player profiles. There are 20 players in the entire team, and there is no one in the age group between 35 and [-] years old.

Li Dong really didn't know what to say.

But he can understand.

Time is too tight, and it is not easy to get a team together.

Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about those old players. If it weren't for Yu Haiming and Song Maochun's face, they might not be able to play in the second division.

For them who were once considered stars, it is a shame to be reduced to playing in the second division.

Moreover, I don't know if it was deliberately arranged by the superiors. Their opponent in the first game, the Haixi Lions, is quite strong.

Last season, the Hercynian Lions almost got promoted to the First Division.

After several strong teams from last season were promoted to the first division, the Haixi Lions are recognized as the strongest team this season. Their goal this season is to advance to the first division.

With a new team of old, weak, sick and disabled on one side, and a strong old team on the other, Li Dong really didn't have much hope for this game.

He only asked the players to play out this fighting spirit.

He can accept losing, but he has to stand up to lose.

However, from Yu Haiming to the players, everyone is full of confidence in this game.

Yu Haiming even vowed that this is the team's first game and it must be won, and it must be won beautifully.

Li Dong smiled noncommittally.

Maybe it was the team's first game, and the players were holding back their energy.

Maybe the big boss came to the scene in person, and the players all wanted to perform well.

Perhaps facing the powerful Haixi Lions, the team members all aroused their competitive spirit.

Maybe it's an old player who used to be all-powerful, but he was reduced to play in the second division. He felt angry and wanted to prove that he was not old.

Perhaps it was Li Dong's noncommittal smile that stimulated them.

Perhaps, Li Dong really underestimated these old, weak, sick and disabled people.

After the start of the game, the Shenghai team showed their strength against a strong opponent who almost advanced to the First Division last season.

A few old players sit in the middle of the field, while a group of young players are working hard.

In the first few minutes of the game, the Haixi Lions launched an attack. Just after halftime, the ball was intercepted by an experienced veteran player.

Then pass it straight.

Five young players, like cheetahs, rushed towards the opponent's penalty area.

The opponent has only three defenders.

Although the three defenders are all in their prime, they are strong.

But several small team members were not afraid at all.

Skillful cooperation with a few feet, easily scored the ball.

In the stands, cheers erupted like a tsunami.

Although this game was in the second division, the number of fans who came to watch the game exceeded tens of thousands.

This is absolutely unprecedented in the second division.

For those other games, the better ones can be played in a stadium, but it is also an old stadium.

Almost, there is not even a decent stadium, even if there is a playground, the grass is no different from the vegetable field.

As for the audience watching the game, let alone.

Hundreds are too many, and having thousands of spectators is already an unprecedented event.

Thousands?That was beyond my imagination.

But for Sheng Hai's match, tens of thousands of people came to watch the match.

The reason for this is also very simple.

Over the years, Yuncheng football has really been tossed by Qiao Yi.

The team moved to the suburbs and kept losing.

Who wants to go all the way to the suburbs to watch the team lose?

Tired and angry.

So these years, for the millions of fans in Yuncheng, it has been really depressing and aggrieved, and they don't even have to watch a ball.

Now we finally have another team.

In particular, the Shenghai football team's early publicity was quite powerful.

Of course, it was all done by Wei Xiaopeng and the others on purpose.

But fans don't know what's behind it.

Fans only know that Shenghai has made a high-profile entry into the football circle with a budget of tens of billions and the largest stadium in the world.

The fans are naturally full of expectations for the Shenghai football team.

The Shenghai football team is regarded as the savior of Yuncheng football.

In addition, Li Dong has decided that there will be no charge for tickets to the team's home games in the first year.

He is not short of that money, it is important to consolidate the fan base first.

Therefore, in the first game of the new season, more than 1 fans came to watch the game.

And Sheng Hai did not disappoint the fans, scoring a goal in just a few minutes.

Moreover, this goal was scored neatly, showing a very high level of competition and tactical coordination.

The Yuncheng fans who had been suppressed for a long time immediately boiled over.

Even Li Dong couldn't help applauding.

This ball is fine.

The veteran's fearlessness in the face of danger, a steal to resolve the opponent's attack.

The young general's daring to fight and fight hard, penetrated the opponent's defense line in two or three hits.

Especially the No. [-] who scored the goal, his speed was extremely fast, and his finishing kick was quite crisp.

Li Dong, a layman, can tell that this kid is a little level.

Not without surprise, he said to Yu Haiming next to him: "This number ten is fine, what's the name?"

Yu Haiming said: "His name is Sun Xitong, he is 16 years old, and he is the most talented and hardworking player among their team members, but his background is a bit pitiful."

"Oh?" Li Dong was a little surprised.

The second uncle and Liu Daqing on the side were also curious and looked at Yu Haiming.

Yu Haiming said: "Sun Xitong's father, Sun Peng, used to be Dachun's teammate. It was just more than ten years ago that Sun Peng had a car accident. Although he saved his life, he lost both legs."

"Those of us who live on our legs, what else can we do without our legs?"

"At that time, Sun Peng was only 25 years old, and Sun Xitong was only... two or three years old."

"Not long after the car accident, Sun Peng's wife left him and his son and ran away."

"I also took away more than half of the family's property."

"Sun Peng has been hit hard. If it weren't for this young son, Sun Peng might not be able to survive."

"Later, Dachun and a few good teammates raised some money to open a supermarket for Sun Peng."

"It's not too big. It's just a small community supermarket. Sun Peng can't even look at a supermarket that is too big."

"Relying on the meager income from the small supermarket, Sun Peng is both a father and a mother, and he insisted on raising Xitong."

"This kid Xitong is also sensible. He has been doing laundry, cooking, and housework since he was a child, and he even helped his father with the supermarket."

"I don't know whether Sun Peng is taking care of him or he is taking care of Sun Peng."

"Anyway, the father and son came all the way."

"As for Dachun, don't look at him as an idiot, he is really kind."

"For so many years, the other teammates have basically not had much contact with Sun Peng. Only Dachun has never forgotten Sun Peng."

"I will visit Sun Peng every now and then. Every time I go, I will leave some money for Sun Peng."

"As for Dachun, I can see that Xitong is a good seed for playing football."

"At that time, Dachun also started to engage in youth training, so I told Sun Peng to let Xitong practice with him, and it didn't cost money anyway."

"But Sun Peng doesn't want Xitong to play football."

"He knows that the road of football is not easy."

"Don't look at how much those stars earn a year, but there are only a few stars in the whole country?"

"Most people who play football may have worked hard for many years, but in the end they can't even get into professional teams."

"In order to play football, I wasted my studies, and in the end I couldn't play football, so what else can I do?"

"What's more, Sun Peng has always suspected that his car accident was not an accident, but someone intentionally hurt him."

"Because someone approached him before and wanted him to let him go during the game."

"He's the goalkeeper, it's easier to release the water."

"But Sun Peng refused."

"In a few days, there was a car accident."

"But nothing was found in the end, so it was treated as an ordinary car accident."

"So, Sun Peng doesn't want Sun Xitong to take the football path anymore. He just wants him to study well and find a serious job in the future. It will be good if he is down-to-earth."

"Dachun can't talk to him, so he doesn't force it anymore. It's just that on weekends, Dachun went to look for him and said he would take Xitong out to play."

"Then he took Xitong to his training base and asked Xitong to play football with a bunch of kids."

"That's it, Xitong goes to class normally on weekdays, and plays football on weekends."

"After a long time, Sun Peng will naturally know."

"Although he is very angry, Xitong himself likes to play football."

"Besides, the child is getting older, so it's not easy for him to talk as a father sometimes."

"Sun Peng couldn't beat his son. In addition, Sun Peng went to the training base with him to watch his son play football with others."

"Of course it can be seen that his son Sun Xitong is indeed very talented."

"Other children go to practice after school every day, seven days a week, every day."

"Where is Xitong? I can only practice for two days on weekends."

"But even so, Xitong's level is obviously higher than other children."

"Sun Peng also feels that since his son has talent in this area, it is indeed a pity to waste it like this."

"So I stopped objecting. Even after school every day, after Xitong finished his homework, Sun Peng personally instructed Xitong to practice ball in an open space in front of their house. He practiced until late at night."

"I have to get up early in the morning and go outside for a 5000-meter run."

"Sun Peng told Xitong that since he wants to play football, he must be prepared to suffer."

"If you can't stand the pain, then give up as soon as possible, don't waste some energy."

"But Xitong, the kid, just persisted."

"Whether it's a cold or an illness, or it's windy or rainy, this kid doesn't fall all day long. He has to run five kilometers every morning, and he still runs with a load, and he trains until late at night."

"As far as this kid is concerned, let's not talk about his talent, skills, and awareness, but his energy, his unyielding attitude, and his unyielding spirit. I can say with certainty that this kid will never be worse in the future."

"Good shot! Got it! Go in and go in! It's time to hit the goal! Good! This kick is very much like Lao Tzu's back then! To be honest, Lao Tzu was far worse than him when he was his age. up!"

Yu Haiming was telling Li Dong and the others about Sun Xitong's past, and Sun Xitong scored another goal on the field.

The last goal was teamwork, and this one was Sun Xitong's personal performance.

Steal the ball from the backcourt by himself, pass five levels and kill six generals, all the way to the frontcourt.

Facing the goalkeeper, with a violent shot, the ball went straight into the net.

Even Li Dong couldn't help watching with a surge of emotion.

This goal was scored, and it was too awesome.

This is almost catching up with those top stars.

At this time, it was only ten minutes before the opening.

Shenghai scored two to zero.

The scene was completely boiling.

"This kid is not bad. Train him well. If you have the opportunity, try to send him abroad. He is a pillar of talent."

Li Dong said something.

Yu Haiming said: "Dachun and I both think the same way, but sending this kid away is not a small loss for our team."

"What are you talking about? We can't delay the future of these children for the sake of the team's performance." Li Dong said.

"Yes, yes, why don't you talk about Mr. Li's grandeur." Yu Haiming praised him without losing the opportunity.

Li Dong knew it well, he knew that Yu Haiming was deliberately testing his attitude.

From the standpoint of football people like them, especially those like Yu Haiming and Song Maochun who are interested in improving the level of domestic football, they naturally hope to see more young players go out, go to better leagues to train and improve. .

However, the owners of many domestic teams do not want to let go of the outstanding players in the team, especially the young outstanding players.

For those bosses, improving the level of domestic football is obviously not as real as the team's performance.
