Chapter 3231 Tactical Drills

As evening approached and darkness began to fall, the streets of West Chang'an, not far from Little Red Horse Academy, were bustling with traffic. Huangjia Village was also very lively, with people enjoying the nightlife everywhere.

The gates of Little Red Horse Academy were locked, and a group of children were gathered in the courtyard, patiently listening to Qin Jianguo explain tomorrow's tactics.

Qin Jianguo held a tree branch in his hand and drew a makeshift soccer field in the sandpit, marking the goalposts with pebbles.

Xiaobai, Dudu, Shibaobao, Xiaodu, Xujun and others gathered around, while Xiaomi, Xier, Chengcheng, Robin and others peeked over.

Qin Jianguo wrote "Li Haoyu" in the sandpit with a twig and said, "According to Xiao Weiwei's information, this Li Haoyu is a midfielder, responsible for orchestrating the attack. He's like a commander, the brain of the team. We must mark him tightly and not let him get into a rhythm. If we mark him tightly, the Jianan Elementary School football team will be brainless, and that will make them easier to deal with. Dudu, is it okay if I leave him to you to keep an eye on?"

Dudu immediately stood up straight and said firmly, "Coach, leave it to me, don't worry! I'll keep an eye on him!"

Qin Jianguo nodded in satisfaction: "You need to act as a midfield shield and keep an eye on him. Go wherever he goes, don't try to steal the ball, just stay close to him and dart around. If he tries to shoot, stick out your foot to block it, if he tries to pass, stick out your arm to block it. Do whatever makes him uncomfortable, wear him down until he's panting, then our chance will come. Remember, don't go head-to-head with him, just keep your balance and position yourself."

Dudu nodded, and Xiaobai added from the side: "Just like last training session, when you tangled up me so much that I couldn't pass the ball!"

Dudu laughed immediately: "I know! I'll pester him until he can't run away!"

Liu Liu suggested, "Du Du, if you can't stop him, trip him! But don't let the referee see!"

Xiaobai said, "No! Dudu, don't listen to Liuliu. Tripping someone is a foul. If the referee sees it, he'll give you a yellow card. If you get two yellow cards, you'll be kicked off the court, and then we're doomed to lose."

Dudu nodded, and Liuliu said, "Hey, I was just saying, in case."

Dudu said, "I can keep him occupied without tripping him up, and I definitely won't let him pass."

Qin Jianguo continued to explain the tactics. He pointed to Wang Hao of the Jianan Primary School football team and said, "This kid likes to dribble down the wing and doesn't pass the ball. He's a bit selfish. Xiao Du, your task is to guard the right wing."

Xiao Du was a little nervous and said, "Coach, even if this kid is poisonous, should I still go for it? What if I get poisoned?"

Qin Jianguo was speechless for a moment, and said, "It's not the poison of being poisoned, but the loneliness of being alone. It means that Wang Hao doesn't like to pass the ball and prefers to go it alone."

Xiao Du said, "That's no problem, Coach, but I'm just worried I won't be able to steal the ball from him..."

He still lacks confidence and desperately needs everyone's encouragement and support.

Qin Jianguo patted him on the shoulder and said, "No need to force a decision."

Liuliu interjected, "Then let's just cut it off!"

Xiao Bai said, "Liuliu, don't interrupt. The coach hasn't finished speaking yet! You talk too much."

Liuliu quickly shut up, and Qin Jianguo continued to say to Xiao Du: "When Wang Hao dribbles, he likes to move towards the sideline. You should stand between him and the goal, with your arms outstretched to block the path. If he tries to go around you, just follow him. If that doesn't work, call Dudu over to help you! Remember, blocking the path is more important than intercepting the ball. Don't let him get the ball into the penalty area."

Xiao Du said, "I will hold it!"

Liu Liu was worried about her number one fan and whispered something in his ear.

Now Xiaobai was worried and said, "Liuliu, what are you teaching Xiaodu? Don't give me any random advice."

Liu Liu said, "I didn't. I was just teaching Xiao Du how to defend against people."

Xiao Du said, "Use small tricks, like pulling clothes, tugging at pants, or tickling armpits. When the referee looks over, let go quickly."

Xiao Bai had nothing to say.

Qin Jianguo continued, "The most crucial attack depends on you two, Xiaobai and Baobao. Xiaobai, you dribble well and break through from the middle to draw their defense. They'll definitely be watching you. When they surround you, pass the ball to the left to Baobao. Baobao, that's when your speed comes into play!"

Shi Baobao said, "I know! Just like in last training session, I'll cut in from the left, receive the ball from Xiaobai, and shoot!"

"That's right!" Qin Jianguo nodded with a smile. "Xiao Weiwei said their goalkeeper Zhang Qiang is afraid of low balls. When you receive the ball, don't kick it high. Just push it towards the bottom left or bottom right corner of the goal, using the inside of your foot to generate power. It's fast and close to the ground, and he won't be able to react in time. Also, don't look back at the ball when you run. Xiao Bai will pass the ball to the right place. Just focus on rushing into the penalty area!"

Shi Baobao said, "Okay!"

Dudu said, "Coach, am I not going to participate in the attack?"

Qin Jianguo said, "Your main task is to do a good job of defense and stifle their attack."

Dudu said, "Okay, Coach, I will do a good job on defense. Actually, I can also help Xiaobai and Shi Baobao on offense."

Qin Jianguo said, "Don't get too involved in the attack in this game."

Although Dudu felt it was wrong, she still followed the coach's instructions.

After explaining the tactics, Qin Jianguo had everyone divide into groups for simulations.

Dudu followed Shi Baobao, simulating harassing Li Haoyu.

Xiaobai dribbles past defenders, while Xiaodu defends on the wing.

Xu Jun, playing the role of Wang Hao, deliberately dribbled down the wing without passing the ball, allowing Xiao Du to practice positioning.

As for the one who was temporarily acting as the goalkeeper, it's unclear who called Xiao Zhou to guard the gate.

Since no one was going to shoot anyway, Xiao Zhou stood in front of the goal, feeling quite pleased with himself, finding the experience novel.

"Ah~"

Shi Baobao suddenly plopped down on the ground and said to Dudu, "Dudu, you're amazing! You've got me so entangled I can't even run away. You're so intimidating."

Even during mock practice, Dudu was very serious and did her best to entangle Shi Baobao until she fell on her bottom.

Dudu reached out and pulled Shi Baobao up, saying, "We must win the competition tomorrow, we can't lose!"

In Dudu's dictionary, there is no such word as "lose" in sports events.

After practicing for more than half an hour, everyone sat on the steps in front of the classroom. Qin Jianguo handed them bottled water: "Remember three things for tomorrow's match: don't panic, don't be afraid, and don't give up. We are the Little Red Horse; even if we lose, we will still play better than them!"

Xiao Bai held up a water bottle: "We won't lose! We'll win!"

At this time, there were more children in Little Red Horse Academy, the sky was completely dark, and all the lights in the yard were turned on.

"Come and try to steal our ball, see if you can get it," Xiaobai said to the bunch of kids in the garden.

Tonight's tactical practice is over, and it's free time now. She wants to see how strong the soccer team is and challenge all the kids in the garden to a one-on-one match.

Immediately, a kid ran over and asked, "Xiao Bai, how many of you are there?"

Xiao Bai said, "There are five of us: me, Dudu, Shi Baobao, Xiao Du, and Xu Jun."

The kid asked, "So, are we all going to fight the five of you?"

Xiaobai said yes.

The kids immediately started making a ruckus, forming cliques and groups in the yard, and soon a large group of them had gathered.

After pretending to discuss for a while, they started making noises and rushed towards Xiaobai and her friends from all directions.

"Go for it!"

Just as Xiaobai was about to pass the ball, he suddenly felt someone kick him from behind. He turned around and saw all sorts of silly kids, and he couldn't tell who had kicked him.

Xiao Bai said, "Don't kick people, that's a foul!"

The kids said, "We're not kicking people, we're kicking the ball. Xiao Bai, get out of our way, don't block us, or we'll kick you!"

Little White said, "Oh, you little rascals, you still want to kick me? I'll stomp you flat."
