When a team with players who have played in China's top football leagues as a team, and even with high-level international players such as Shao Jiayi and Xu Yunlong, when it was against an amateur community football team, it almost capsized. I believe a lot of this picture. It's hard for fans to imagine.
On April 1, when it was recognized that jokes could be interpreted in good faith, this drama actually happened.
Baizhifang Cherry Garden team starting lineup
In fact, public opinion has been brewing on the Internet as early as a few days ago.
The circulation of a screenshot of the registration form for the first Beijing Community Cup Eight-a-side Football Tournament has raised this community-level event to the height of attention of the entire network.
There is no other reason. The "Baizhifang Cherry Garden Team in Xicheng District" in the picture can be described as dazzling stars.
Not only Xu Yunlong, Yang Pu, and Shao Jiayi, but also Sun Yongcheng, Sha Li, and Gui Ping, who have played for Beijing Guoan's professional players, are also on the list, and the title of "the best community football team in history" was born.
In the days when there was no ball to watch, the release of this list caused a lot of shock in the football circle.
"Dimensional reduction blow", "Let 5 opponents win", "Do not talk about martial ethics"... Fans who have awakened the ridiculous gene also did not hesitate to share the most sincere "Tucao" towards football.
This team was almost the Beijing Youth Team in the 1990s. At the time, it was called the Beijing Wickley Team. It represented Beijing in the 8th National Games. Later, the entire team was acquired by the Beijing Guoan Club.
But like the end of most youth stories, even if it shines no matter how splendid and fearless the light is, the protagonists of the story finally embark on a journey of going their own way.
Shao Jiayi, Xu Yunlong, Yang Pu... When this string of Chinese football names appear on the same entry list, it’s hard not to instantly go back to the period from the Beijing Youth Team to the Chinese Men’s Team more than 20 years ago. The lush years of the football team, for many fans, are the coordinates of the starting point of the green memory.
From A-A to the Chinese Super League and then to the national team, they used to be the best players. Twenty years later, when these celebrities who had already faded out of the professional arena gather again, the arena has changed from the top-level arena where they once fought to the unknown. In the Community Cup, behind this list that netizens have complained about as "non-speaking of martial ethics" is a friendship that has been precipitated over the years.
For this reason, Shao Jiayi said in an interview: "Our team has been in a good relationship since it was formed in 1992. Although we gradually no longer play in the same team, we still play together when we return to Beijing every year, and it continues to this day. We decided to take this opportunity to meet again and reminisce about the time we played together in the past."
The "old boys" are busy reuniting and reminiscing about their youth. The opponents of the Chunshu Sub-district Team face strong enemies but dare not let up.
After learning that the opponent in the first round was the Cherry Garden team, they were ready to immediately start the pre-match training.
I don’t know if it’s the miraculous effect of the pre-match training, or the professional players really let go after retiring and stayed away from the green field for too long. From the first second after the opening whistle was blown, the Chunshu Sub-district team was fighting against their strong opponents. In the confrontation, the wind will never fall behind.
Even the most threatening shots in the audience were shot by them.
Once hit the door frame and shocked everyone present in a cold sweat, the other time was a successful goal, but his team fouled first and the goal was invalid.
Shao Jiayi is in the game.
Shao Jiayi was under the heavy guarding of his opponents, as if deep in the mire, even though he had eighteen martial arts, it was difficult to use.
The players implemented the tactical thinking of "Looking for Jiayi", but helplessly looking for him thousands of times, suddenly looking back, Jiayi was deeply surrounded and couldn't use it.
The staff of the Cherry Orchard Street Representative Team, who was anxiously watching the turbulence of the stadium, couldn't help but praise the opponents for indeed playing a very high level.
Winning the strong with the weak has always been the eternal aspect of competitive sports.
In the stands, the cheering and cheering voices for the Chunshu Sub-district Team also gradually gained momentum.
The Cherry Orchard team failed to attack for a long time, but the defense line frequently created dangers, which reminded people of an old Chinese football saying: "There is not much time left for Cherry Orchard."
However, unlike the regrettable ending left by Chinese football in most cases, even if the opponent was dragged into a cruel penalty shootout, with more stable psychological quality and shooting skills, the Cherry Orchard team still defeated the opponent 5:4 without any risk. , Advance to the next round.
In the spring of 2021, a community football match unexpectedly became popular due to the joining of the international football team, which received unexpected attention.
No matter who regrets to stop, this match is a more memorable victory for football.
In the past winter, six domestic professional football clubs disappeared into the long river of history with the sustenance and emotion of fans.
Among them, there are the newly promoted kings of the Chinese Super League, the "prodigal sons" who have drifted away from many cities, some of their fate ends in a "stop operation" announcement, and more are silently passing away.
Among the countless sighs, what was left was a questionnaire about when the cold winter of Chinese football will fade and get out of the trough.
But in fact, the answer has long been traced in this "normal" community football game.
As former international Xu Yunlong said after the game, “It’s a good thing for everyone to pay attention to social football. Only with attention can everyone value this (football)... Now the general environment may not be very good. I hope there are positive things. You can communicate more with everyone."
Just as Shao Jiayi said: We got together to regain the happiness that football once brought us; Chunshu captain Liu Jin said that the two sides learn from each other and the whole team also works together.
As a result, the result of the game became the least concerned existence in this fierce game.
After the two sides laughed and ended, the new two sides entered the field, and there was another whistle, and the green field became lively again.
The story of football is still going on. Here, there is enthusiasm, ridicule, youth, respect and never giving up.
