The two little guys left Chang 'an and went south to pursue their dreams. In Chang' an, life went on as usual.
The popularity of the tickets for the Football Ranking League did not diminish. For the past few days, there had been countless people queuing outside the two football stadiums to buy tickets. The tickets for the first day of the competition were completely sold out. Everyone wanted to see what this so-called Football Ranking League was like!
Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, it was the eighth of March.
It was a sunny day, and the spring breeze was blowing.
At eight o 'clock in the morning, the side gates on both sides of the two football stadiums opened at the same time. The guards of the football stadiums divided the audience into eight groups, and everyone entered the stadium after checking their tickets.
Almost everyone knew about the background of the football stadiums and the FIFA, so no one caused trouble before the start of the game.
Half an hour later, all the spectators had entered the stadium. For the first match, the occupancy rate of both football stadiums had almost reached 100%. The people's enthusiasm was high, and Li Zexuan had made a fortune. Just the ticket sales for the first match of both teams added up to 5,000 strings of cash!
The first game of the second football stadium was between Li Daozong's Ferocious Tigers and Liangzhou's Ferghana Horses. Liangzhou was located in the northwest fortress of the empire, and the people there were tough. This team was formed by a local barbarian merchant. Last year, in the Liangzhou area, the Ferghana Horses could be said to be the best.
In this Football Ranking League, the hottest topic among the people was Li Daozong's Ferocious Tigers and Zheng Yinhong's Wind and Thunder team. Li Zexuan also wanted the two teams to have a "strong match" in the first game, so as to leave a good impression on the people who came to watch the game. In this way, people would be willing to come to watch the later games.
However, in the group stage, it was completely based on the teams' representatives drawing lots. If he really wanted to cheat, it was not completely impossible, but he did not think it was necessary!
In the end, the Wind and Thunder team was placed in Group A, and Li Daozong's Ferocious Tigers was placed in Group B. It was destined that the two teams would not meet in the group stage!
After the audience entered the stadium and sat down, it was the turn of the players of both teams to play.
Without Li Zexuan's guidance, the players of both teams knew to change into tight clothes. In addition, to make it easier to run, they all tied up their hair.
At the request of the Great Tang Football Association, the clothes worn by each team member had to be marked with a number. The number had to correspond to the player and be recorded in the FIFA.
The team in black was the Ferocious Tigers. The eleven players were all burly men who looked like iron towers. The outline of their bulging muscles could be seen through their clothes. Looking at the way they walked in unison, it was obvious that they had been in the military. However, these people definitely did not know any internal martial arts, because all the players had to be checked by the bearded man before entering the field. If they knew any martial arts, they would have already been "marked" by the FIFA.
The one in red was the Ferghana Horse Team. Of course, the eleven members were not as big as the Ferocious Tiger Team, but they were generally younger and more energetic than the Ferocious Tiger Team!
"Oh! The Ferocious Tigers! The Ferocious Tigers will win! "
When the players of both teams appeared on the field, it naturally caused a tsunami of cheers from the audience. Although their cheers could not be heard (because people in this era still did not know what cheers meant), the huge cheers were enough to explain everything!
Most of the people who could come to Lantian County to watch the game were Chang 'an locals. In the face of the Ferocious Tigers VS Ferghana Horse Team, the audience instantly chose a side, which was to cheer for the Ferocious Tiger Team!
"Wow! The Ferocious Tiger Team's lineup is so neat! And each of these people is so burly. The Ferocious Tiger Team is definitely not a match for them! "
"That's right! That's right! These people are said to be the former soldiers of the King of Jiangxia. Each of them is well-trained. Today's game will definitely be won! "
"But why do I feel that the Ferocious Tiger Team is not bad! I heard that the strength of this team is top-notch in the Liangzhou area! "
"Bah! Wang Chengyi, whose side are you on exactly? "
"I … Of course I'm on the Ferocious Tiger Team's side, but I was just discussing the matter as it is!"
"Bullsh * t! You're such a busybody! In my opinion, the Ferocious Tiger Team will win! Now it's just a matter of how many wins they have! I'm guessing at least three goals! "
"Haha! I'm guessing at least five! "
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and it was extraordinarily lively.
On the field, after throwing a copper coin, the Ferocious Tiger Team obtained the right to pick the side, and the Ferocious Tiger Team obtained the right to kick off. According to the rules, the ball needed to be placed on the center of the field when kicking off. All the players had to be in their own half of the field, and the opposing team members should be at least three feet away from the ball until the game started.
"Beep!"
As the referee on the field let out a long bamboo whistle, the No. 1 player of the Ferocious Tiger Team gently kicked the ball placed on the center of the field to his No. 3 player, and he quickly ran to the opposing team's half of the field. The first game of the Tang Football Association's Ranking League officially began!
"Marquis Yong 'an, what do you think of This King's team ~?"
In the first fifteen minutes of the game, both teams fought fiercely, trying to take the lead to score. However, the strength of the center backs of both teams was not to be underestimated, so after fifteen minutes, there were a few shots, but not a single goal was scored. Li Daozong, who was in the stands, was not in a hurry. Instead, he asked Li Zexuan beside him with an indifferent expression.
Today was the first game of the Ranking League, and it was also the Ferocious Tiger Team's "debut", so Li Zexuan and Li Daozong were both present!
Not only that, Li Daozong had even brought Li Xueyan along! The young lady was sitting on Li Daozong's lap!
Li Zexuan might have been an otaku in his previous life, and had never played football, but he had watched a lot of serious football matches, so he had a good eye for a game. Upon hearing this, he thought for a moment, and instead of answering, he asked,
"Your Highness, do you want to hear the truth or a lie ~?"
Li Daozong was first stunned, but then he laughed out loud, "Haha! Interesting! Interesting! Then This King wants to hear, what's the lie? What's the truth ~? "
Little Xueyan also turned her head at this moment, and shifted her gaze from the field to Li Zexuan. Her big cute eyes blinked, as if they could speak, making her look extremely cute!
Li Zexuan could not help but be melted by the little loli's cuteness. He smiled at Li Xueyan, then looked at Li Daozong and said, "Hehe! If Your Highness wants to hear a lie, then every member of the Ferocious Tiger Team is tall and strong, like a fierce tiger coming down from the mountains. No other team can match them! "
Li Daozong frowned. This sentence seemed to be the truth to him, but Li Zexuan was lying. "Then what's the truth ~?"
