On the morning of August 29, 1999, on Sunday, the 99th grade freshmen from Lucheng County No. 1 Middle School lasted for a week of military training. After the morning session, it finally came to an end. The hard-working students were all tanned, and there were already thousands of horses galloping deep in their hearts.

As the freshmen dispersed, the playground quickly returned to its idle state, but this idleness was quickly interrupted by another group of people.

Standing in the middle was a male teacher who was about 30 years old. His identity could be generally seen in his sporty outfit. There were about twelve students standing in front of him. The students were all wearing football uniforms with red and black tops on the top and black bottoms. The team logo on his chest contained a number of "98".

The teacher started speaking: "Time is already very tight. The county-wide competition will start on the 9th next month. During these ten days, the school's class league will also be held to select personnel. However, it is impossible for us to wait until the class league is finished and the personnel gathering is completed before starting training. It is too late. For this reason, after the school's research and decision, you will use your second-year junior high school team as the main team, and then appropriately supplement the suitable candidates among the first-year junior high school freshmen. Starting today, I will be your coach, and train at the two time periods from 6:00 to 7:00 every morning, and after school in the afternoon, I hope you can take it seriously."

The boy standing at the top should have a good relationship with this teacher. He smiled and joked: "Teacher Mo, why are you doing a class league? How waste time? The third junior high school people don't have time to play, and the first junior high school people don't have enough to play, so just use our grade team to play. Play a few more warm-up matches. With our strength, it will definitely be fine to enter the finals!"

Teacher Mo glared at him: "Xiao Dabao, why are you messing around? This is the decision of the Education Bureau. Do you dare to sing the opposite tune? Besides, you can be the 'King of the stove' (六文日本), but don't be timid when you go to the county competition. I heard that the quality of students this year is generally good, and every school has some good seedlings, and they also attach great importance to it. The level of opponents has improved. I think you are not that relaxed."

I glanced at the others and continued, "I want to remind you that our No. 1 Middle School attaches great importance to this game, and the goal is to win the championship. The games you played in private always say how powerful you are. Luzhong and No. 2 Middle School are not enough for you to play. Those are all wild balls and cannot be counted. This time I came here, let's see if your self-proclaimed "Lucheng No. 1" is really worthy of your name."

The thin man in the middle of the team pouted disdainfully and said, "Our No. 1 Middle School is the number one in the county. Lu Zhong and No. 2 Middle School both lost to us in the 'Toyota Cup' and 'League Cup' last semester, and we will not lose this time."

Teacher Mo smiled meaningfully and said, "Don't be so angry, I heard you were humiliated by a boy from the first grade of junior high school!" What he said was the afternoon before yesterday, when their second grade of junior high school team played an informal friendly match with the newly formed first grade of junior high school team.

Time is just one class. Although the result of the game was that they won, the scene was very ugly. Especially when they were big and small, they completely lost their former champion style. They messed up the new army. In the end, they only turned defeat into victory at the last moment with their physical advantages, barely retaining their senior brother's dignity;

Especially in the game, he actually scored a hat trick on the opponent's No. 9. In the inter-school competition, the solid defense line could not be defensive at all, and he forced an alien feeling. For a moment, these senior brothers in the second grade of junior high school became a joke for the whole school, and even other schools came to make fun of them when they heard about it, which made them even more annoyed.

He was suddenly called, and more than a dozen people were blind. Although they were very dissatisfied, it was also true. Everyone didn't know how to answer. Xiao Dabao smiled awkwardly and touched his head without giving in his mouth: "Accidents are purely accidents. We underestimated the enemy. If we do it again, the scene will definitely be different."

When the others saw someone standing up, they also expressed their support: "Yes, yes, no matter how we are, we are one level older than them, and we won't make them so relaxed."

"That's right, I will definitely give them some colors next time."

"Besides, that's just half a game. If they play the game in full, they will die even worse!"

Seeing everyone chattering, Teacher Mo did not hit them anymore and explained seriously: "Okay, don't talk too much, start today's training now. You will be the backbone of the school team we are about to form. You must turn pressure into motivation and devote all your efforts to train, strive to win glory for the school in the county competition, strive to be able to join the county team, and go further in the city! Do you understand?"

"I understand!" the team members replied in an orderly manner. The atmosphere was very good, and Teacher Mo was very satisfied.

In Lucheng, a small county with a population of 700,000, the football atmosphere is very ordinary. There are only two or three football fields that can be used normally in the county, all located in a few middle schools in the county. Since there is no official promotion, the football activities in the county are just matches between students, and the nature of the wild ball is very obvious.

From a level perspective, the top three football teams in Lucheng Junior High School are the No. 1 Middle School, No. 2 Middle School and Luzhong in the county. Luzhong has absorbed the best quality students in the county, and there are also many of them with good football levels. However, in the current environment, the level of football is often inversely proportional to academic performance, which has caused a large number of ordinary students in the county to perform more outstandingly in football, and has also become two peaks in the county's youth football field, which determines the direction of football talents in high school and adult stages.

Although they are both ordinary junior high schools, the two schools, No. 1 and No. 2 Middle School, also have different characteristics, which is deeply reflected in the level and style of football.

No. 1 Middle School is close to the highest institution in the county and has the best academic style among ordinary junior high schools. The players here are delicate, smooth coordination, and have good discipline, which has a bit of the European technical flavor;

Because nearby gangsters often go to the school gate to extort, their academic style is average, and their high school entrance examination scores are not as good as No. 1 Middle School. The players here are fierce in style, the team plays well, and their physical and strength qualities are good, and they belong to the North American power faction.

The two schools have frequent private communication, from class matches at the same level or cross-level to team matches in grades. The annual confrontation match held in the name of the school is nicknamed "League Cup". Although it is not officially recognized, the recognition among students is still relatively high.

The students of Luzhong watched the exchanges between the two schools become increasingly popular, and then led to an inter-school exchange competition between Luzhong and No. 1 Middle School, called the "Toyota Cup", which has a taste of competing.

With the popularity of the French World Cup last year, the football atmosphere in Lucheng County has become stronger, and the appointments between students are more frequent than before. The teams from No. 1 Middle School are in a strong momentum. Both the class teams and the grade teams have performed better. Especially winning two inter-school matches, which greatly encourages the confidence of No. 1 Middle School students.

With the arrival of the first county-wide competition held by the official county, they are determined to win and have become the biggest favorite of this competition.
