After that, Emperor Pill Primary School experienced several tough battles. They defeated many strong teams one after another until they reached the top four of the preliminaries. This time, their opponent was a strong team from the Tokyo area, Egoda Elementary School. Coach Noguchi was a little worried. Shinichi and Chijun had accumulated a yellow card each. If they had another yellow card in this game, they would not be able to make it to the finals, which would be extremely disadvantageous to the team. However, Ekuda Elementary School was also one of the strongest teams in the Tokyo area. If they did not go all out, they would not be able to make it to the finals.
Coach Noguchi sighed. Let's win this game first. As it was already the semi-finals, many people had come to watch the entire stadium. Most of them were primary school students and parents of students participating in the competition. Shinichi and Qianjun decided to let their parents watch the match after they reached the finals. Less than 10 minutes after the start of the game, Shinichi, who played well, attacked from the corner with Wen Liang's cooperation. He scored a goal with lightning speed and suddenly became the momentum. The cheerleaders from Imperial Pill Elementary School immediately cheered like thunder. Shinichi's fan club raised their signboard high and shouted loudly. Xiaolan also cheered excitedly, her eyes filled with stars. This made Yuan Zi even more indignant at Shinichi's cocky behavior. Naoko and Jing Yang also clapped their hands to celebrate.
A girl from Jiang Gutian Primary School found it strange." Kuaidou, why does the captain of Imperial Pill Primary School look like you?”"Qing, is that guy? He's not as handsome as me." Kuaito said angrily as he looked at Shinichi, who was more handsome than him. Qing Zi gave him a punch." Is he your father's illegitimate son? You two are really alike, aren't you, Keiko?”A girl next to him nodded in agreement." It would be interesting if Kaito joined the soccer team.”" Who wants to participate in that barbarian sport? Magic is more fun."”Then, with a bang, a pile of snacks appeared…
Jiang Gutian Elementary School quickly organized a successful counterattack. The captain personally broke through and created a dangerous situation in front of Didan Elementary School. In the chaos, Saruno Feixiao lost the ball and the score became 1:1. Jiang Gutian Primary School's morale rose greatly and they fought to the climax. Emperor Pill Primary School was suppressed. About 20 minutes into the game, Jiang Gutian Elementary School used a set piece to score another goal for Didan Elementary School. However, the ball was saved by Ape in time. No one could see if the ball had completely crossed the goal line. The referee hesitated for a moment and after asking the assistant referee, he ruled that the goal was invalid. This time, he poked a hornet's nest. Jiang Gutian Elementary School immediately refused and began to surround the referee.
After the situation finally calmed down, the competition continued, but it disrupted the rhythm of Jiang Gutian Elementary School. Shinichi then received the ball and attacked the opponent's goal, but it was also ruled invalid because it was offside. In fact, Shinichi's position at that time was not clearly offside, so the stands were booing. Only Coach Noguchi understood that the referee was trying to find a balance. Shinichi's offside was in a position where he could decide whether to call or not to call. Shinichi, who was not discouraged, once again took advantage of the long shot to seize the opportunity to suddenly break into the middle. After receiving the football that bounced back, he scored with a powerful shot. 2:1 was indisputable.
Coach Noguchi waved his fist vigorously, and the members of the Imperial Pill team surrounded Shinichi to celebrate. This score lasted until the end of the first half. "Shinichi, how did you know that my long shot would hit the goalpost and bounce back? Could it be that our hearts are connected? We are indeed the best partners!" " Please, Qianjun, who would have known that your ball would hit the goalpost? I just wanted to fish in troubled waters. Who knew that your ball would fall to my feet so coincidentally..." Everyone was sweating, and only Coach Noguchi secretly praised Shinichi's football awareness. This kind of talent could not be cultivated in a short period of time. The coaches of both teams quickly made adjustments. Coach Noguchi instructed everyone to reduce mistakes in the second half and play defensive counterattack to make Qian Jun more active in the midfield.
As expected, Jiang Gutian Primary School started to attack desperately at the start of the second half. They wanted to equalize the score as soon as possible and also created several opportunities. However, Taguchi Tachiaki managed to snatch the ball again and passed it to the midfield side of Chijun. The opponent had long been eyeing Chijun, so Chijun had to quickly pass the ball to Toso Puli in front. Puli saw that there was no chance, so he passed it back to Wen Liang. Wen Liang went forward to assist and was blocked, and then he knocked it to Chijun. Chijun made a long shot and passed the ball to Shinichi. Shinichi assisted, and a second-year junior plugged in to score the ball. It was 3:1. The smooth cooperation of this goal made all the spectators marvel. A certain person lamented that it would be great if their national football could have such a level. Japan was really formidable.
Jiang Gutian Primary School, who had been forced into a corner, did not give up and stop attacking. Didan Primary School once again used a corner kick during defense to drive the ball to the midfield. It was a high-speed long shot, and the ball was thrown out by the opposing goalkeeper. Pu Li went forward and lightly hit the ball with a header. It was 4:1, shattering Jiang Gutian Primary School's last hope. All the members of Jiang Gutian Elementary School and the audience couldn't believe it. The unknown Didan Elementary School actually led Jiang Gutian Elementary School with such a score. This score lasted until the end of the game, and Yuan Ye's contribution couldn't be ignored.
All the members of Jiang Gutian Primary School stood numbly on the court, watching the cheers and hugs of Didan Primary School. They were at a loss for what to do after the painful defeat. Kaito mocked them for being a bunch of fools and getting beaten up by Aoko. Aoko blamed the referee for his mistake in the first half. In fact, the penalty was indeed a little inaccurate. After watching the video, everyone found that the goal was indeed more than half of the ball had passed the goal line. At this time, Ape had time to fish the ball out. It could be said that the ball should have been counted as a goal, but the wrong penalty would not be changed. This was football.
Coach Noguchi also received good news. In a few days 'time, the yellow cards accumulated by all the players would be canceled. This was to make the game more exciting. The members of Didan Primary School were full of pride and looked forward to the championship battle. In their opinion, the championship was already waving at them. Everyone thought so. No team could play the ball as flexibly and powerfully as them. Several strong teams had been eliminated by Didan with large scores. Their next opponent, Xiutu Primary School, had also stumbled into the finals. Most of them had won by small scores. However, no one could predict which team would win until the end of the football game.
On the day of the finals, the stadium was packed with people. Qian Jun's mother, Yoshiko Hengno, and Mr. Fujino went to the stands to cheer for Qian Jun. Mr. Hengno couldn't come because he couldn't get away from the company. The Kudo couple and Dr. Agasa were also there. However, the Kudo couple had come with makeup on. After all, they were both celebrities. Mr. and Mrs. Chiguchi, as well as the parents of the other team members, Tsukuzu Puri, Hiroyuki Saruno, and Takeshi Taguchi, had also arrived. Japan was a country that placed great importance on sports competitions. It had already formed an atmosphere of the whole people. Even if it was just a competition between primary school students, it was still valued.
In addition, the senior who had been the captain of the previous team and was now the captain of the Imperial Pill soccer team also came to watch their match with some people. The Imperial Pill soccer team had been eliminated from the national competition this year, and the sixth grade members had officially left the team. The fifth grade members became the main force, so the senior became the captain again. He brought the team members to see how much progress Shinichi and Qianjun had made. They would also enter the soccer team next year and participate in the official national competition.
Arisu Nozomi clamored for Usaku to predict the outcome of the game. Usaku was forced to say that he felt that the New One team would lose the game. Arisu Nozomi was curious and asked why. Usaku said that there was a strange law in the football world. If you are hot, you will die. It just happened to apply to Imperial Primary School. After the match began, Xiutu Elementary School stepped up their competition with Didan Elementary School in the midfield. Qian Jun's weakness was very obvious. His dribbling ability was not good. As long as he cut off the midfield, Xiutu would have a chance. Sure enough, as the midfield of Didan Elementary School was suppressed, it was obvious that the team's shooting and attack power were limited. Instead, it was Shutu Elementary School that launched several threatening shots, which were destroyed by the defender Taguchi Tachiaki.
Halfway through the first half of the game, the score between the two teams was still 0:0. This disappointed the audience who came to watch the game. The parents were desperately cheering for their children, and Arisu Niko's shouts were even more exaggerated, making it extremely awkward for Usaku. Xiutu's strength was definitely not weak. His ball control ability was not inferior to Di Dan's. Xiutu's defense was stronger than Di Dan's, and Di Dan's offense was stronger than Xiutu's. Coach Noguchi also saw the problem from the side. As the match progressed, Di Dan gradually adapted to the way he was playing. Qian Jun's physical strength advantage was quickly revealed. He started to frequently launch long shots and long passes with Wen Liang in the midfield. He also often assisted forward. The pressure on the map soon became greater.
With a " bang ", Qian Jun's long shot once again focused on the goal's beam. The ball flew out of the field, and everyone in Didan Primary School was inevitably disappointed. The goalkeeper who edited the picture broke out in cold sweat. This was already the fourth time the opponent had hit the beam of the goal's beam. There were also three more pillars. Today's editing seemed to be especially lucky. At the end of the first half of the game, Shinichi seized the opportunity to shovel and shoot. The ball hit the inside of Retoux's goalpost, but Retoux's goalkeeper rushed to the other side. Everyone thought that the ball would definitely go to Retoux, and when the whole of Retoux looked desperate, the ball miraculously bounced out. Retoux's defenders reacted and immediately kicked it to the front field. The whole of Didan and the entire audience were dumbfounded. Just like that, the first half ended in a draw, and neither side scored.
The entire Didan Primary School was also a little discouraged. The team had clearly gradually gained the upper hand, but they had not made a breakthrough. This was the advantage of not scoring. Coach Noguchi comforted everyone not to be impatient. There were still chances in the second half. Qian Jun must have been complaining because of his beloved Xiaolan. Shinichi had rejected the Goddess of Victory's love. Otherwise, the winner would have been decided in the first half of the day. Xin Qi smiled bitterly, saying that Qian Jun must have stolen Lady Luck's underwear, causing everyone to keep attacking the beam and goalpost. Qian Jun suggested that everyone pray to the Three Pure Ones and Buddha together, but Shinichi refused. He had never believed in gods and ghosts, and only Xiaolan believed in the most mysterious things.
Qian Jun had a bad feeling about this. As expected, after the second half of the match, Tutu started to attack Di Dan's side like a stream of water. Thanks to Saruno's outstanding performance and Taguchi's constant shouts to remind the defenders, they did not concede the ball. Xin Yi, Pu Li, and the others also approached Reuben's goal several times. However, the goal of victory did not open, and the ball did not go in. In the eyes of the spectators, this was an ugly game. Both sides still did not score in less than 10 minutes. The cheerleaders on both sides were desperately cheering, even more anxious than the players on the field. Even Yuan Zi kept shouting. Finally, after receiving a quick long pass from Qianjun, Xin Yi scored a goal. Before they could cheer, the referee came over and ruled that it was offside, which made everyone extremely depressed.
The audience on the Martial Monarch Realm Pill's side was naturally extremely dissatisfied with the referee. You Xizi was so angry that she stomped her feet and scolded the referee. Xiu Tu secretly thanked the referee. After that, Qian Jun and the new first-class players launched no less than ten shots. They either hit the goalpost and the beam, were destroyed by the opponent, or were driven to the midfield by the opponent after a corner kick. Di Dan Primary School became more and more anxious. Finally, two minutes before the end of the match, there was a rare attack from Xiutu Elementary School. The bald captain used a header to attack the goal, hitting the middle side of the goalpost of Didan Elementary School. Yuan Ye flew over, but the ball strangely refracted inward into the net. The entire stadium was silent, and then Xiutu erupted with wild cheers. The goal was valid.
Everyone in the Imperial Academy was dumbfounded. Xinyi shouted and quickly counterattacked. Xiutu also desperately wanted to maintain his advantage and defend with all his might. When Xinyi and Qian Jun launched their final attack, the football hit the corner of Xiutu's goalpost again. The ball bounced out under the attention of the Imperial Academy and was confiscated by the opposing goalkeeper. At this moment, the referee blew the whistle to end the match. 0:1, Didan Primary School lost to Xiutu Primary School, and Xiutu Primary School won the championship in the Kanto region.
Although everyone in the Imperial Pill Primary School was upset this time, they didn't cry like they did in the past. They had already tried their best and could see that the strength of the Imperial Pill Primary School surpassed that of Xiu Tu Primary School. However, the result wasn't like this. Just as the bald captain, who had won the best of the match, had said to Xin Yi and Qian Jun, good luck was also a kind of strength. Imperial Pills did not have such strength. Seeing this arrogant guy leave, Qian Jun was so angry that he wanted to beat him up, but he was stopped by Shinichi.
Coach Noguchi said a famous saying of the German football star BeckenBauer," It's not the strong who win, but the winner. Everyone, remember this lesson." Kudo Yusaku's prophecy came true. Arisu Kiko was filled with anger. She believed that it was all because of Yusaku's jinx that her son lost the game. Even though Didan Elementary School played better, Dr. Agasi was still persuading her from the side. She felt sorry for him. Shinichi and Qianjun pulled up the team members who were gasping for breath on the ground and gathered everyone. Shinichi officially handed over the authority of the team leader to the 2nd grade junior. He was the new team leader. Qianjun handed the "Wind Forest Volcano" team flag to the newly appointed vice captain.
The Year 1 rookies still found it hard to accept this result. Shinichi encouraged everyone to keep their spirits up. Tomorrow's future was in their hands. Qian Jun said something else. If everyone put in the greatest effort, there would be nothing to regret. As the saying goes, man plans, god disposes. Seeing Shinichi arranging the handover, the new captain of the soccer team smiled with relief. The spirit of soccer was passed down from generation to generation. One day, Japanese soccer would stand among the world's strongest teams. Shinichi and Qianjun agreed to join the soccer team next year and fight for the National League.
After watching the video of the game, everyone confirmed that Shinichi's goal was indeed offside. At that time, one of his arms crossed the defensive line. Shinichi lamented that the referee had a keen eye for the ball. He had seen it all. Qian Jun complained that Shinichi had such a long handle for no reason. It was obvious that he wanted the referee to call him offside. Xin Xin was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. That was just his natural reaction when he jumped when he received the ball. After watching the video, everyone went home. Although the third-year players were talking and laughing in front of their juniors, they were not happy on the way out. No matter what, they had lost the game. The charm of football was a man's dream.
Shinichi lowered his head and went first. Xiaolan followed quietly behind. The doctor and Kudo couple shook their heads as they watched. Wen Liang and the others also met up with their parents dejectedly and set foot on the road home under the comfort of their parents. Qian Jun, Jing Yang, Naoko, and Xiaoyue sat in the car driven by Mr. Fujino. Daiko smiled and cheered Qian Jun on. She also talked about some interesting things about Qian Jun in the past. Mr. Fujino said that a strong person should not be arrogant when he won and not be discouraged when he lost. He also talked about many examples of what he encountered during the war and compared it with the defeat of the Imperial Pill today.
In the end, Yoshiko took everyone to a beverage shop for drinks. Jing Yang, Naoko, Qian Jun, and Xiaoyue laughed and made a scene. Yoshiko knew that the shadow of defeat was gradually fading, but Mr. Fujino knew that it would take a few days for Qian Jun and the others to wash away this bitter fruit. This was very similar to the situation when they received the news of Japan's defeat. Meanwhile, only Sono-san was left in the coliseum, directing the cheerleaders to clean up the items and bring them back to school." Shinichi, Qianjun, you two bastards actually asked me to clean up your mess…" Shinichi and Qianjun both sneezed, wondering who was scolding them.
