1. College Football League

In the summer of 2007, the sun was blazing in Beijing.

"Li Ning" National University Football League National Finals Champion and Runner-up Decisive Venue.

The China University Football League, referred to as the Big Football Tournament or CUFL, is the only national college 11-a-side football tournament officially recognized and fully supported by the Chinese University Sports Association of the Ministry of Education and the Chinese Football Association. In 2000, the first tournament was established, sponsored by Philips Electronics China Group, called the "Philips China University Football League". On April 24, 2006, Beijing Li Ning Sporting Goods Co., Ltd. signed a 10-year contract with the China University Sports Association to jointly launch the new "Li Ning China University Football League".

After a series of reforms, the competition system of the Chinese University Football League was formally determined in the seventh session, the league is divided into three stages, the first stage is the provincial preliminary round, in fact, there is no unified organization and management, and the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have more regulations and investment promotion to organize the regional selection tournament or directly send the team to participate in the second stage; The second stage is the regional competition: the four competition regions of the first five east, west, south and north will be changed to the north and south competition regions, and the competition system will be adopted; The third stage of the national finals: 8 teams in the first session, 12 teams in the second session, 16 teams at the beginning of the third session, 24 teams in the sixth session, and 16 teams in the seventh session. Since the start of the league, more than 600 teams (schools) from 33 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions have participated every year.

At this moment, the referee has just blew the whistle for the halftime of this final, the score is still 0-0, and the young college players are walking briskly along the field back to the locker room.

Li Xinran stood near the entrance of the middle line players' passage, applauding the players who were coming towards him one by one, and at the same time signaled: "Hurry up and enter the locker room, we are very short on time." ”

Li Xinran's team members heard the coach say this, they couldn't help but speed up the pace of their feet, lowered their heads and trotted into the players' tunnel, and in the team's zuihou walked two more than one meter eight, well-proportioned players, hearing this, looking at Li Xinran but slowed down, one of them has a fair complexion, delicate facial features, picturesque eyebrows, a good look, a big No. 7 on the chest, and the other has a darker complexion, and the facial features look mediocre, but when combined, plus a standard athlete figure, It also makes him look manly, and at the same time, he also has a yellow captain's armband wrapped around his left arm, which is reflected on the white jersey, especially the number 10 on the chest, which represents the core of the team, making him look extraordinarily eye-catching.

"Han Sen." Li Xinran hugged his arms, pretended to be a little embarrassed and said to No. 10, "You are the captain, I don't want to say these words in the locker room, I don't need you to turn the tide and stand up for those things, at least you should also play the role of the core on the field, don't pass the ball out as soon as you get it, now our team is to control the rhythm, and the metronome of our team is you." ”

Han Sen scratched his head, a little embarrassed in the face of the coach's criticism.

Li Xinran turned to another handsome guy: "I know what you're thinking now, Wei Miao, it's nothing more than that you just blame me for not starting Qi Xin, don't worry, Qi Xin will definitely play in the second half, but you are a player, you should know what professional ethics and the team as a whole are, you can't just pass the ball just because your suitable pass object is not on the field!" ”

Li Xinran reprimanded, the team looked like the two biggest players were a little embarrassed, but fortunately, the players had already entered the locker room, and Li Xinran's approach undoubtedly saved them face.

Sure enough, after entering the locker room, Li Xinran did not mention Han Sen and Wei Miao again, but made arrangements for the second half. Seeing that the ten minutes of halftime were fleeting, Li Xinran sighed: "Our team has been together for more than two years, if you add the previous games of your senior brothers and predecessors, this time is more than that, for our team, I have nothing to say, I just want to ask one question, Wei Miao, you answer." ”

"Ahh Wei Miao didn't expect the coach to make fun of him first, so he couldn't help but sigh, and the eyes of the players in the locker room also looked at Wei Miao.

Li Xinran looked at Wei Miao and said slowly: "Our team has played so far, how many games have we played in this year's big football tournament?" ”

Wei Miao immediately replied like a machine gun: "There are two trials in the selection competition, eight competitions in different divisions, and the finals are now the sixth, a total of sixteen games." ”

Li Xinran hummed with satisfaction: "So after this game, do you know what kind of honor our team can get?" ”

Although this question is for everyone, the answer is still Wei Miao: "This ...... Isn't winning a championship? ”

Seeing that the players were looking at each other suspiciously, Li Xinran coughed: "In 2002, as the champion of the big football competition, the football team of Beijing Institute of Technology was authorized by the Ministry of Education and the Chinese Football Association to represent China in the 22nd Shijie University Games held in South Korea, and hired Jin Zhiyang as the head coach, and the Chinese college men's football team with the Beijing Institute of Technology football team as the team won the seventh place. Since the launch of the China University Football League, a number of outstanding players have been cultivated for the national youth training team and professional clubs, such as Li Shuang and Sun Lei of Beijing Institute of Technology were recruited into the national youth training team, Zhou Hao of Beijing University of Technology joined Shaanxi National Strength, and Liu Jingtao, a master student of Chinese University of China, was selected by Henan Jianye Club in the 2005 China University Football League Triple Champion Beijing Institute of Technology won the championship in the China Second League. In 2006, the Chinese Football Association allowed the top two players of the Chinese University Football League to participate in the finals of the Chinese Second League. ”

Li Xinran said a mouthful of data in one breath, and everyone listened silently.

Li Xinran looked at everyone with meaningful eyes: "I just got the news before the game, the latest policy of the Chinese Football Association this year is that only by winning the championship of the big football tournament this year can we participate in the finals of the Chinese Second League." ”

The words were like ripples in the pond where the stones were thrown, and the locker room suddenly buzzed, after all, everyone got the news that the top two could participate in the finals of the China B League, no matter whether the game was won or lost, at least the team had a direction to continue Xiangxia, and now Li Xinran said this, which means that if you lose, then there is only one situation facing this team, that is, disbandment.

Han Sen seemed to be moved by the hidden artistic conception behind Li Xinran's words, and suddenly lowered his head to arrange his captain's armband, as if to hide the fluctuating emotions in his heart.

"Okay, I've already said the tactical arrangement before, and I've finished what I need to say, and the next game will depend on you." Li Xinran saw Wei Miao in a blink of an eye, "Oh, I forgot a substitution, Zhang Ye, you take a break, Qi Xin will take your place in the second half, Qi Xin...... What about Qi Xin? ”

"I'm here." The sound of an urn came from the corner of the locker room, and a tall and burly figure walked out of the locker room bathroom while arranging his pants, and a big No. 9 was extremely eye-catching.

"Coach Zhang has already helped you register for the game, you should go out and check in first!" Li Xinran walked to Qi Xin's side, his height of one meter seven or eight was even shorter when standing next to Qi Xin, so he had to raise his head and reach out to pat Qi Xin's shoulder.

Qi Xin sighed, the whole locker room seems to have become much smaller since he appeared, watching Qi Xin bow his head and walk out of the locker room, Li Xinran looked back at the players: "There is a little more zuihou, everyone should not forget, this is the first time in the history of our Beijing University of Economics and Trade to enter the final of the Chinese University Football League, this is a game where only one winner can go down in history, our opponent Beijing Institute of Technology has won the championship of the big football tournament three times, then our first time, should be today!" ”

Suddenly, the eyes of all the team members bloomed with a kind of light.

When the whistle blew in the second half of the 2007 China University Football League Finals, almost all the spectators at the scene found a special phenomenon, that is, the Beijing University of Economics and Trade team wearing white had an extra No. 9 player with a height of nearly two meters on the field, and although he was tall, he did not look clumsy in his gestures.

"Welcome back to the 2007 China University Football League finals, I am a Korean overseas Chinese student, this is also the first time I have commented on our big football game, and it is also the first time CCTV has broadcast the big football game live, and the score is still 0-0. We saw that the Beijing University of Economics and Trade team first made substitution adjustments, and No. 9 player Qi Xin came on the field to replace No. 19 player Zhang Ye. Han Qiaosheng helped his glasses and moved his eyes from the field to the preparation draft in his hand, "No. 9 Qi Xin, one meter and nine five meters tall, is a student of the Chinese Department of Beijing University of Economics and Trade, still in his sophomore year this year, in the previous fifteen official matches of the big football competition, Qi Xin has scored ten goals, I don't know, Qi Xin with his unique physical conditions, can he get closer to his senior brother and seniors." I don't know what you think about this, Professor Wang? ”

Wang Yiming moved his body, and only held back one sentence in the face of Han Qiaosheng's question: "We will wait and see." ”
