Chapter 72 Hello Teacher Mo!
The Yucheng team players who were two times behind and equalized twice felt quite accomplished at the end of the game, but after the other two groups were over, they realized that the situation in the standings was very unoptimistic and they were a little too happy.
In Group B, Wu Ming defeated Guixi 3:0 and Wuzhou defeated Qingzhou 1:0. Qingzhou, who lost the ball, still stood at the third place in the group with the 3 points he gained in the previous game.
In Group C, Liuzhou and Hechi played up and down the game. The two teams that belonged to the hard-core football team in North Guangxi also performed their own level. Liuzhou, who was even more destined, won the game 3:2 in the final stage with the header from defender Fang Yixing; Beihai easily won the game in this "Beibu Gulf Derby Battle" and defeated Fang Gang 4:1. Hechi and Qingzhou achieved the same result, and also took 3 points to the third place in the group.
The reason why Yucheng players can't laugh is because they only scored 1 point in two games, and they have actually given up the initiative to qualify. Currently, the third in the three groups are Yucheng 1-6 goals, Qingzhou 3 points and 0 goals, and 3 points and 3 goals in the same pool. Yucheng must squeeze out one of these two teams to advance to the knockout stage; if this counterattack is to achieve this kind of counterattack, the Yucheng team must first win the last game, and at the same time require that the other two teams must have more than one loss; if both teams score, even if it is only a 1 point in the draw, there is a bigger difficulty waiting for Yucheng to break through, that is, they must win at least 6 goals in Baise. According to the current tactical style of the Yucheng team's steady counterattack, it is difficult to score more than 3 goals in a single game.
This situation suddenly became very similar to the relegation situation of Frankfurt in the Bundesliga last season (98/99). Before the last round of the game, Frankfurt, where Chinese player Yang Chen was located, ranked third from the bottom. Not only did he fall 1-3 points behind the three teams in the previous points, but he even fell 3 points behind his direct competitor Nuremberg. The relegation of the French team was inevitable. However, that crazy night made every Chinese remember it. It was Yang Chen's unreasonable powerful shot that set off Frankfurt's offensive frenzy. In the end, they defeated the creators of last year's Kaiserslautern's myth 5-1. Not only did they score enough points, but they also happened to get enough goals. Nuremberg, whose leg had already landed, was relegated to the Bundesliga.
This same arithmetic problem was placed in front of the Yucheng team. No matter how you calculate it, you cannot get the result they want. The only way to calculate the answer they want is to ask them to calculate it correctly while asking others to calculate it incorrectly. This kind of "double standard" scene is a wishful thinking. It was originally sentenced to death, but now the sentence has been sentenced. Although it will not be executed immediately, it is also a reprieve of death. In essence, it is still a death sentence. It is just to try for more time to watch yourself being slapped into pieces.
They have the chance to defeat their opponents in the game. If they don’t score that own goal, they will definitely be able to take the lead with their momentum at that time. If Guilin team did not have the luck of being the second goal, they would have won the game long ago. If they were more lucky, they would have grasped one more and they would have gotten 3 points and completely escaped from the sea of suffering. However, where did so many things come from in football. Once the game is over, the result will be frozen. No matter how hard you work in this process or how you lose, you will lose, and there is no room for bargaining.
Go back to the situation in the last round. At present, the two games that Yucheng team is most concerned about are Wu Ming in Group B vs Qingzhou and Beihai in Group C vs Hechi. Although the current situation of the two groups is the same, after careful comparison, you can find subtle differences: Wu Ming, one of the hosts, is currently ranked first in the group with 4 points and 3 goals. They have strong defense and have home advantage. Qingzhou, who has unstable performance, is difficult to gain advantage from their opponents; Hechi currently has 3 points and 3 goals, and they are also the third in the group with the best results after two rounds. As long as they don’t lose the game in the last round, they will definitely qualify, and their opponent Beihai can qualify smoothly with only 1 point. This game is very likely to be tacitly evolved into a tacit draw by both sides.
In this way, Qingzhou's loss has become the biggest thought of Yucheng's team, and this is also the only way for the team to escape under the current severe situation.
This behavior of begging the enemy to become friendly forces to be humble has happened many times in the national football team. I didn’t expect that it will also happen in a regional event in the southwestern border of the motherland, which is also a pity. When qualifying becomes the only criterion for a team to succeed, just like the college entrance examination that the college entrance examination becomes a sign of a student’s success, many things will begin to deviate from the initial direction; and when the key link that determines whether a team can qualify is not itself, but they have to find a fulcrum on their opponents, this is a very ironic joke.
In the evening, the same mobilization meeting was held at the same time, but the players' emotions were even lower than last night. Mo Huaqiang looked at everyone's unsightly eyes and was about to speak, but someone stood up and spoke first: "Coach, do you think we still have a chance?" It was the impatient Lu Long. Today, he was able to get a draw with Guilin. Lu Long, who was inserted into the opponent's midfield, played an important role, effectively limiting the opponent's midfield connections. His performance was getting better and better. Of course, he was most unwilling to see the team go home after playing only three group games.
Mo Huaqiang stared at him and asked lightly: "What is opportunity?"
Lu Long scratched the back of his head and said anxiously: "The opportunity is, that's the possibility of us qualifying!"
Mo Huaqiang smiled, and then suddenly asked everyone a question: "Have you learned mathematics?"
This turn was too fast, and everyone didn't react at once. They were discussing football, but why did they ask about learning again? Coach Mo is really a teacher, and he can tell anything about learning. Although everyone was puzzled, they were all actively responding to him: "I studied it, I failed the math exam last semester."
"Boss, I'm already in the third year of junior high school, and you're still asking me such unnutritional questions."
"Coach, do you want to tell us the probability of qualifying?" The person who spoke in the end was Liu Kehu, and the top student is the top student, which is obviously different from others.
Mo Huaqiang glanced at Liu Kehu and said to everyone with a smile: "It's not bad, someone actually did his homework."
After saying that, he turned to the whiteboard and started writing on the blackboard. His stern look was the professional style of a people's teacher. The content of the blackboard clearly stated two equations: qualifying = we win Qingzhou and lose / we lose / tie.
"Now I want to ask everyone, do we only have two possibilities: qualifying and eliminating, there is no third possibility. So good, now, please help me calculate, how much is the probability of our team qualifying?" The coach actually asked a math question seriously, was he sure that he had not gone to the wrong classroom?
"But coach, your question is incomplete, and you haven't given a lot of information, so you can't calculate this question." The person asked was the talented man Liu Kehu.
"You don't need to pay attention to the rest. Just look at the meaning of my question and answer it." Mo Huaqiang was a little unreasonable.
"That's simpler. The two 1/4 combined are 1/2. Report, I answer, half of the probability of qualifying." Liu Kehu's answer was straightforward. Others who reacted also cast their eyes on him, either envious or contempt.
Mo Huaqiang spread his hands and said, "There are half the probability of qualifying. With such a high possibility, what are you still afraid of?"
Seeing everyone being timid and probably didn't understand his jokes, Mo Huaqiang could only use another big move: "Do you all teach your maths by the physical education teacher? Didn't you understand? It's really hard. I'm just a physical education teacher. Not only do you believe my nonsense, you actually want me to teach you maths. Are you crazy?" Such a joke with a strong sense of self-deprecating taste also made everyone laugh, and the players laughed comfortably.
After laughing, Su Keqi pretended to be whispered loudly: "No, Lao Mo, I feel something is wrong, but what's wrong? I can't say it all at once. Anyway, you took us apart. I don't know what you are doing, but it seems to be very powerful, haha!" This sensational joke made everyone laugh again, and seemed to have swept away a lot of shadows in their hearts.
Mo Huaqiang deliberately widened his eyes and said, "Everyone said I am a physical education teacher!" Naturally, it won laughter again, and finally accompanied by applause.
Seeing that the time was almost over and the adjustment tonight was effective, Mo Huaqiang began to explain tomorrow's tactical arrangements. Seeing the players swept away their previous depression and listened to tomorrow's deployment requirements with concentration, the corners of his mouth quietly rose up.
Chapter completed!
