Wang Chao, who had not yet recovered, suddenly stood up again, looking at more than a dozen players piled up in the penalty area, and couldn't help but ask again: "Why is it another free kick?"
"Oh, it's a corner kick."
Zhang Fei said: "This kind of corner kick is unlikely to be a direct shot, but the threat is still there."
Ouch!
Is this ever going to end?
Wang Chao was about to cry.
Apparently, he had previously equated this new type of football with Cuju, and as long as one had better skills, it would usually be difficult to lose.
Qiyun Society has dominated the championship for many years.
The overall strength of the guard Ma was much stronger. Wang Chao thought that as long as he could control Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi, he would be overwhelming. As a result, he had no advantage at all in this field and even lost the ball first.
He never imagined that football also requires acting skills.
...
...
What the hell...!
Sima Guang stroked his beard and said, "There really is something special about football!"
Wang Anshi nodded and said, "Yes! Whether it's attacking, defending, or taking free kicks or corner kicks, the players' positions are very particular, and they don't rely on brutality to win."
After saying that, the two looked at each other, then snorted and turned their heads away at the same time.
After seeing this, Zhao Xu shook his head slightly.
The police station got the first corner kick since the start of the game.
Although the audience did not know what a corner kick was, when they saw the police station's players piled up in front of the goal, they all knew that the situation was not good, and many people stood up.
Pray that this ball doesn't go in!
Cao Dongdong took the corner kick and sent the ball directly towards the goal.
The ball was still flying and the wailing sounds were already heard.
After all, it was their first time watching football, and the nightmare of the free kick just now was still not over.
It’s the front point.
It was the dark-faced young man who used his body to push away the player in front of the police station and kicked the ball out with a big foot.
"good!"
The audience suddenly erupted in excited cheers.
It’s not over yet.
The guard Ma intercepted the ball with his chest in the midfield, and immediately followed up with a bicycle kick, passing the ball accurately to the right winger.
After all, they all came from Cuju and were used to the ball not falling to the ground, and they didn't think it was a fancy move. In the situation just now, the overhead kick was the fastest way to pass the ball.
One kick!
Two feet!
Pass the ball directly to the striker in front of the goal.
A burst of shooting.
Join the network!
This set of attacks was so smooth and pleasing to the eye.
The audience went crazy.
“It’s in! It’s in!”
"good!"
"Nice goal!"
"This attack is so sharp!"
......
Even Zhao Xu didn't even enter and sighed: "This football is really beautiful in a different way!"
This time even Queen Mother Cao nodded in agreement.
It's really dazzling.
Too fast!
From defense to offense, it really happens in a flash.
Hearing the emperor's praise, Wang Chao was completely excited, "Good job! Good kick! Superintendent Cao, just now we were just being polite before using force."
Cao Ping was very depressed.
Zhang Fei said awkwardly: "Coach Ma, don't get excited. It was offside first, so the goal doesn't count."
"Offside?"
Almost everyone said in unison.
"Yes!"
Zhang Fei nodded, "Look, the referee has raised the flag."
He immediately explained the offside again.
Queen Mother Cao nodded and said, "So this is offside."
She had read the newspaper, but still found it difficult to understand the offside rule. It was only after watching the game that she began to understand a little.
This is truly a mixture of sadness and joy!
Cao Ping laughed out loud: "It seems like it was all for nothing!"
"What kind of rule is this?"
Wang Chao shouted at Zhang Fei: "You are clearly favoring the police station."
As the competition progressed, both Zhao Xu and Queen Mother Cao gradually got used to these dirty words. After all, the curses outside were more fierce.
Zhang Fei remained calm and said, "General Ma, calm down. The rules are what apply to both sides."
Wang Chao wanted to argue again, but suddenly there was a deafening booing from outside.
It turned out that the audience noticed that there were no lanterns hanging on the wooden board with the red and black flag in the east.
They also realized that the ball might not count.
Some people who had read the newspaper began to show off to people around them.
Bro, this is called offside.
don't know?
Let me explain it to you.
It was like falling from heaven to hell. No matter if he was offside or not, just boo the referee.
Even the female audience members in the ladies' seats were very unhappy, and they had already stood in front of the door.
"Humph! Such a beautiful goal, why doesn't it count?"
"That's right, the referee was too biased towards the police team."
"What do you mean by biased towards the police team? The first ball even hit Yanei, but the referee didn't make a call."
"How dare you say that? Yanei just pretended to be injured and cheated us out of a goal."
......
Xu Zhiqian sat alone in the shed, tilting her head, looking at her sisters who were arguing with each other, with a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes.
Why?
When I first saw them practicing, I thought it was boring!
Why are these people like they are possessed?
However, she was probably the only very calm spectator in the venue, as she was mainly observing the audience's reactions and was not fully immersed in the game.
For example, Chen Maoqian and Fan Yong had completely fallen under the leadership of Ma Tianhao, and they had long since thrown aside all the charitable organizations.
However, this offside also officially kicked off the Guards Horse's massive attack.
There was a massive bombardment in front of the police station.
However, the police team did not concede a goal thanks to the outstanding performance of the goalkeeper and the goalposts.
The spectators who were shouting that the goal was too big just now now felt that it was too small. Even if it was one foot larger, the guard horse might have been ahead long ago.
It's so infuriating.
My voice is hoarse!
Suddenly, the situation changed. A mistake made by the guard Ma in the frontcourt resulted in him being left with only two against two in the half. What was more terrible was that the opponents were Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi.
After holding back for more than a quarter of an hour, Cao Ping stood up excitedly, walked to the door, and cheered for Cao Dongdong who was sprinting at high speed.
Wang Chao covered his face with his hands and dared not look anymore.
Empress Dowager Cao said anxiously, "Ping'er, you are blocking your aunt."
"oh!"
Cao Ping simply stood outside.
“Go back quickly!”
The captain of the guards shouted nervously.
The whole team rushed back desperately, but it was too late.
Cao Dongdong changed direction in front of the penalty area, passed his arch-rival, the black-faced young man, and shot.
With a bang!
It was cleared by another defender.
There was an uproar in the audience.
Wang Anshi could not help but sigh: "It was a close call."
Zhao Xu also nodded and said, "If Cao Dongdong had passed the ball just now, the ball would have gone in!"
Sima Guang stroked his beard and laughed, "This football is getting more and more interesting the more I watch it."
Wang Chao heard their voices of regret and then dared to open his eyes. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, covering his forehead, "These bastards are deliberately torturing me."
Ma Xiaoyi looked at the empty door in front of him, then looked at Cao Dongdong, and said excitedly: "Brother, why don't you teach me?"
Cao Dongdong was startled. He then realized Ma Xiaoyi. At that moment, he only had the goal in his eyes. He coughed and said, "You are offside."
Ma Xiaoyi jumped directly in front of Cao Dongdong, "I was watching the whole time, how could it be offside? If you had passed the ball to me just now, the ball would have gone in! Oh... I finally understand, brother, why did you play in the midfield? The midfielders get the most balls, and you never pass the ball as long as you have a chance."
Cao Dongdong, who was seen through, said aggrievedly: "Didn't my brother pass it to you before? You didn't get in, so who can you blame?"
"snort......!"
Ma Xiaoyi raised his head.
Cao Dongdong hurriedly comforted him, "Xiao Ma, this time brother really didn't see you, you have to shout so that brother can notice you."
At this moment, a whistle interrupted their quarrel.
But the sound of the whistle scared everyone!
"Is it over?"
"Lose?"
......
Zhao Xu also asked the same question, "Is the game over?"
Zhang Fei said: "Your Majesty, this is the halftime break, and there is still the second half."
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Yes, this kind of kicking is indeed tiring."
Queen Mother Cao looked at Cao Ping and Wang Chao, who were breathing heavily, and said with a smile, "Watching the game is tiring too!"
"Ha ha!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Wang Anshi smiled at Zhang Fei and said, "Zhang San, your new style of Cuju is really amazing!"
This time no one dared to refute.
In the past, Cuju matches were never so boring for the audience. After one and a half games, everyone was paralyzed. People with weak hearts really couldn't watch it!
"Thank you for the compliment, Master Wang." Zhang Fei said.
Cao Ping suddenly had an idea and asked, "Zhang San, is your new Cuju only used for charity matches?"
Zhang Fei immediately understood and said, "Our charity will invest a lot of money to host this football match."
Queen Mother Cao wondered, "Isn't the money from your charity organization used for charity?"
Zhang Fei said: "In reply to the Queen Mother, every penny of the charity organization is used for charity, but in order to help more people and to provide long-term support to some people in need, we also plan to use part of the money for business and use part of the profit for charity every year."
Fan Zhen suddenly said, "But I heard that your charity is used to help the rich evade taxes."
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp]
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.
Zhang Fei explained: "This gentleman is wrong. The money we donated this year is dozens of times more than the land we currently own, and most of it was donated to the court. If those businessmen say that they donated it to avoid taxes, then they are fools."
Empress Dowager Cao was surprised and asked, "Donation to the court?"
Zhang Fei nodded. "Yes, our charity has a special project called donating technology research and development. The idea behind this is that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. We hope that the court can develop better agricultural tools to help the people cultivate the land, and help the police station develop some special weapons that are less likely to cause serious injuries to the people."
Cao Ping immediately said, "Aunt, this is true. Not long ago, a charity donated 2,000 guan to our police station. 1,000 guan was used to help some poorer neighborhoods dig ditches and wells, and another 1,000 guan was used to develop weapons specifically for the police to avoid causing unnecessary harm to the people during law enforcement, while also being able to protect the police themselves."
Queen Mother Cao nodded and smiled, "Everyone knows that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. However, this is the first time I have seen someone doing charity based on this concept. It sounds quite reasonable."
Facts speak louder than words. They put out so much money, and you say they are evading taxes. Isn't that nonsense?
Zhang Sheng suddenly asked, "Even if you donated more this year, who can guarantee that all your money will be used for charity?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Our accounts are completely open, and we welcome the court to check our accounts every year. As an informant, I don't value promises, I value rules more. It's better to formulate a more complete system than to make ten thousand promises."
Sima Guang immediately said: "It's hard to say. If everyone can value their promises, there won't be so many disputes."
Zhang Fei said awkwardly: "Then we, the ear pens, will have no food to eat."
"......?"
Sima Guang was stunned immediately.
Zhao Xu laughed, "You are a very honest person!"
Zhang Fei immediately said to Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty, speaking of this football match, I do have a win-win plan for the three yamen."
Zhao Xu asked: "What plan?"
Zhang Fei said: "It means converting some training grounds into football fields......!"
“How can this be possible?”
Wang Anshi immediately said, "If the troops are idle, it will endanger the country. How can we allow this to happen so casually?"
Zhang Fei pointed at? We can arrange the venue according to the training of the Imperial Guards to ensure that it will not delay the training of the Imperial Guards. At the same time, the Three Yamen can get a generous venue rental fee. "
Wang Chao was very excited after hearing this!
Wang Anshi immediately made a 180-degree turn and said, "This is feasible."
Sima Guang immediately said contemptuously: "Wang Jiefu, you have fallen into the eyes of money."
Wang Anshi said, "Didn't you hear that they will ensure that the training of the imperial guards will not be delayed? If they can earn some military funds, then why not? I am not as stubborn as you."
It would be fine if others said that, but you, Wang Jiefu, said that I was stubborn. Sima Guang was furious when he heard that.
When Zhao Xu saw that the two of them were about to quarrel again, he hurriedly said, "You should discuss this matter with the Third Yamen first."
"yes!"
Zhang Fei clasped his fists and saluted, then said, "In fact, Sanya can also form a football team to participate in the competition. This may make more money."
Fan Zhen was very unhappy when he heard this. "The Imperial Army is used to fight wars, not to make money for the country."
Zhang Fei was surprised and asked, "Really?"
Fan Zhen wondered, "What's that expression on your face?"
Zhang Fei said awkwardly: "Maybe I saw it wrong. Some time ago, I seemed to see some imperial guards making handicrafts and selling them for money."
"......?"
Fan Zhen's face flushed red.
The Fourth Army does drill every day, but those soldiers, if they don’t do some manual labor, how can they support their families?
There was silence in the shed.
Do you really want to bring this kid into the court?
Oh my god!
God knows what he will say.
Cao Ping looked around and said, "Why hasn't the game started yet?"
Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "It will probably be soon."
Cao Ping glared at him and said, "Shut up, kid."
You really are not good at chatting.
Can you say this clearly?
But as the second half began, the atmosphere in the studio eased a little.
"Guard horse!"
"Guard horse!"
"Guard horse!"
......
At the beginning of the second half, the audience shouted in unison.
They didn't support the police team in the first place, and with Cao Dongdong's arrogance, they really wanted to see Guard Ma turn the tables.
Wang Chao said to Cao Ping: "Listen, listen, those who are righteous have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous have few supporters!"
Cao Ping laughed and said, "People often sympathize with the weak."
As he spoke, he glanced at the lantern in front of the blue and white flag. There was only one lantern, but it was extremely dazzling.
However, not long after the game started, Cao Ping could no longer laugh.
Two players from the Guards Ma team were seen staring at Cao Dongdong and strengthening the midfield interception.
"You two birdmen, why are you just like my dog? Don't you stare at others?"
After a while, Cao Dongdong didn't touch the ball at all, and he immediately became anxious.
The dark-faced young man chuckled, "Does the Yanei family's dog run behind its master?"
"you...!"
While he was speaking, his teammates had already passed the ball to him.
Two people immediately clamped Cao Dongdong.
Cao Dongdong struggled desperately. As he had been wielding guns and sticks for many years, his strength was quite good.
The dark-faced young man suddenly stretched his legs back.
Ouch!
Cao Dongdong immediately fell on his back, but because the action was relatively concealed, the referee did not see it.
Another defender intercepted the ball and passed it to the left winger.
The left winger accelerated, passed one player and made another cross.
After calming down, Guard Ma also realized that the wingers' speed and heading were their strengths.
Four tall midfielders and forwards jumped high and completely gained control of the air.
This time the goalkeeper and the post really tried their best.
The ball finally went into the net.
There was total silence outside the venue.
Those who didn't understand the rules looked at the linesman.
Is it offside?
As the referee pointed towards the midfield and the players of the Guards Ma celebrated, the audience was sure that a goal had finally been scored.
Exploded!
The entire Jucheng city was completely blown up.
The audience, who had been holding their breath for half the match, roared at the top of their lungs.
"Cao Yanei, I won't shut up, what can you do about it?"
"You can't even stand steadily, what's the point of playing football? Just go back and play with women!"
"Ha ha!"
......
Many viewers cursed Cao Dongdong.
Cao Dongdong was in no mood to pay attention to them. He kept complaining to the referee until he received a yellow card and then he calmed down.
Then, there was another round of laughter from the sidelines.
"It's in! It's finally in!"
Wang Chao slammed the table, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes, and challenged Cao Ping again: "Superintendent Cao, laugh! Just laugh! I want you to know who is the weak one."
Cao Ping snorted, "Why are you so proud? It's a draw now. Let's wait and see."
"Okay, let's wait and see." Although Wang Chao didn't understand, he could still see the situation clearly. It was obvious that the guard Ma had the upper hand on the scene.
This is also true.
In the previous few shots, the guards were still a little impatient because they were under too much pressure. Now that the score was tied, they played more calmly.
Not long after, the guard horse made a comeback, breaking through with the winger and making a cross...!
Scored again with a header.
From falling behind to equalizing, and then to taking the lead.
Stimulate!
So exciting!
The audience's voices were completely hoarse.
What’s worse is that the players on the police team looked frustrated.
Neither as fast as the other, nor as tall as the other.
How to kick this!
Even Queen Mother Cao saw that the situation was already unfavorable and said, "There is still some gap in the strength of the two teams!"
Zhao Xu also nodded slightly.
Wang Chao winked at Cao Ping.
Cao Ping snorted, "You sent two people to keep an eye on my son. What a talent."
Cao Dongdong is the core. If he can’t get the ball and Ma Xiaoyi can’t get the ball either, they can’t attack!
Wang Chao floated to Zhang Fei, "Zhang San, please teach Superintendent Cao...the rules."
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, "Of course this is allowed."
Cao Ping snorted angrily.
"Brother, this won't work!"
Ma Xiaoyi came to Cao Dongdong and said, "Let's go back to the formation of our third brother."
Cao Dongdong said: "We are behind first, how can we choose to defend? That would be the end."
Ma Xiaoyi said: "What should we do? You can't get the ball at all!"
Cao Dongdong was also anxious, "Don't worry about me, I will find a way to get rid of it, and then I will pass the ball to you, you have to score!"
Ma Xiaoyi said: "Two people are staring at you, how can you get rid of them?"
Cao Dongdong said excitedly: "I told you to stop caring about it."
At this point, Cao Dongdong became anxious because he knew what kind of abuse he would face if he lost.
Ma Xiaoyi nodded and said, "As long as my brother can pass the ball to me, I will definitely score."
However, it is easy to say, but it is not the same thing when kicking.
Cao Dongdong kept getting rid of the opponent and finally got the ball. Seeing that the players from both sides were coming up to him again, he immediately repeated his old trick, fell to the ground in an instant, and rolled back and forth.
However, this time the referee ignored him and the ball was intercepted.
Cao Dongdong performed for a long time, and even his teammates were busy defending, so he could only get up silently.
"Haha... Cao Yanei, you still want to lie."
"What a clown."
......
The mocking voices from the audience came again.
In fact, the formation of the police station had changed, but they were forced to use a bus formation and could not attack, so they could only be suppressed.
The guards on Ma's side were in high spirits, and the cheers from the sidelines were getting louder and louder.
This in turn provides endless motivation for the players of the Guard Horse.
Their attack was even more fierce, creating dangerous situations in front of the opponent's goal several times.
Cao Ping was kicked so hard that he clasped his hands together and prayed to Buddha for protection.
Although Guard Ma did not score any more goals, the game was coming to an end as time passed.
Cao Dongdong was already standing in place, his hands on his knees, gasping for breath. As soon as his team got the ball, he tried desperately to get rid of it, and did not allocate his energy properly, resulting in a serious lack of energy.
what to do?
Cao Dongdong was breathing heavily. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to get the ball and pass it to Ma Xiaoyi.
"Yanei!"
Suddenly, a shout was heard.
But one of his own players finally snatched the ball and then kicked it directly over.
Because only Cao Dongdong's skills can make a breakthrough.
When being double-teamed, he could only pass the ball to Cao Dongdong.
The two defensive players immediately attacked from both sides.
I can't get the ball at all!
Cao Dongdong suddenly had an idea and pointed at the platform and said, "Oh! The official has come out."
Official!
What did the ancient emperor represent...!
The two defensive players were startled and turned their heads to look, but there was no official there. When they came to their senses, Cao Dongdong had already received the ball and kicked it more than two meters away. After all, there was no defense in front of him, so he sprinted desperately.
"What are you doing? Stop him quickly!"
The captain of the guards shouted.
This time it was guard Ma's turn to be anxious.
“No way!”
Wang Chao stood up nervously.
Cao Ping put his hands together and begged desperately, "Buddha bless you! Buddha bless you! I must go in! I must go in!"
Zhao Xu and Queen Mother Cao also stood up and came outside the shed.
The scholars and officials who had sneered at this just now also hurried out.
Needless to say, the audience all stood up.
However, Cao Dongdong's physical strength was seriously depleted, and soon the two defensive players caught up with him.
But they had just passed the midfield and were still far from the penalty area. Cao Dongdong had no choice but to make a desperate move and directly kicked the ball to Ma Xiaoyi in front of him, shouting with all his strength: "Xiao Ma!"
But Ma Xiaoyi was also closely guarded by a defensive player. They practiced and played together every day, so they knew each other well.
In a panic, Ma Xiaoyi suddenly hit the opponent in the abdomen with an elbow. This guy is really good at martial arts. The strength of this elbow was so great that he almost made the opponent vomit.
Ma Xiaoyi then ran out of a gap, caught the ball steadily, and rushed into the penalty area alone again.
The police officers stopped running and just watched Ma Xiaoyi from a distance.
"Xiaoyi! You must come in!"
Ma Tianhao jumped out of the audience and stood on the sidelines to cheer for his son.
The defender on the right quickly came over, and the previous defender also chased after him.
But when Ma Xiaoyi changed direction at high speed, the defensive player in front of him fell down due to being too nervous, and only the goalkeeper was left.
Wang Chao, who was standing outside the shed, also knelt at the same time.
The whole place was in complete silence.
Ma Xiaoyi in the penalty area raised his foot to shoot, and the goalkeeper immediately pounced on him.
Unexpectedly, Ma Xiaoyi suddenly stepped forward and passed the goalkeeper. Facing the empty goal that was so close, Ma Xiaoyi shot the ball directly into the opponent's goal.
"Ah! Xiaoyi! Beautiful goal!"
“It’s in! It’s in!”
The two fathers were like half-grown children, one on the sidelines and the other on the stage, dancing and gesticulating.
"pony!"
Cao Dongdong rushed forward with tears in his eyes and his mouth wide open. He knocked Ma Xiaoyi to the ground and almost bit him.
The players from the rest of the police station also rushed over.
The players of the guard horse all looked frustrated. The dark-faced young man covered his face and cursed: "That guy is really abominable. He actually used the official to deceive me."
Many players suddenly realized that they were the leading side, so why did they launch a large-scale attack?
And yet… that’s the game.
There is no medicine for regret.
Zhang Fei, who saw this scene, smiled slightly and murmured to himself: "This is not what I taught."
At this time, the whistle sounded.
Wang Chao said excitedly: "How come it's over? The winner hasn't been decided yet!"
Queen Mother Cao also said: "The rules seem to say there will be overtime and penalty kicks."
Zhang Fei immediately said, "To answer the Queen Mother, this is just a charity match, so there will be no overtime or penalties. This has been agreed upon beforehand."
Cao Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
If we have to play overtime, it will be very dangerous!
Zhao Xu smiled and said, "A draw is not bad either. It is already very exciting. This is also the most exciting game I have ever seen."
