Of course, one must have a late-night snack, and after the snack, there must be an additional match.
The current situation is that he is interested and she is willing, so how could they not spar together to improve their skills and grow together?
That night, in Zhao Zhao's apartment, after they had a little wine, the match officially began!
The two teams in the match were Zhao Zhao's Friends and, of course, Ma Fanfan's Friends.
Ma Fanfan's Friends deployed a traditional two-striker combination in the front field.
Although her two strikers were not very tall, they firmly attracted the attention of Zhao Zhao's Friends' players, feeling very dangerous!
So Zhao Zhao's Friends immediately applied a very high-intensity high press on these two tall strikers, preventing them from recovering their normal form for a long time.
Under constant pressure, the central and backline defense of Ma Fanfan's Friends began to loosen, and even the entire formation began to twist, tremble, and found it difficult to organize effective defense.
In the 10th minute of the match, Zhao Zhao's Friends found a gap, and a precise pass directly tore open a hole in the opponent's backline!
The entire goal of Ma Fanfan's Friends appeared in front of Zhao Zhao's Friends' striker.
Due to the excessive pressure upfront, the grass in front was very slippery, but this allowed Zhao Zhao's Friends' striker to smoothly dribble into the penalty area!
At this point, Ma Fanfan's Friends' two central defenders came over to double-team Zhao Zhao's Friends' striker, pressing him tightly!
But Zhao Zhao's Friends' striker was very strong, even hard as a rock. He directly pushed the ball forward and broke through the double-teaming of the two central defenders, forcefully carving out a bloody path.
This is the legendary 'dribble through tight pressure'!
Then, Zhao Zhao's Friends' striker took a powerful shot! Ma Fanfan's Friends' goalkeeper was already helpless against it.
Only a soft cry of "Ah" was heard from the goalkeeper, and the ball had already entered the net!
Goal! Goal, goal, goal!
Zhao Zhao's Friends, having successfully scored, did not let up their offensive. They once again launched a fierce attack on the heartland of Ma Fanfan's Friends, continuously taking shots!
Ma Fanfan's Friends seemed completely unable to withstand Zhao Zhao's Friends' attack, and their players had given up resisting. Especially the goalkeeper, who just kept yelling.
But Zhao Zhao's Friends did not slow down their offensive because of this. They were now like an arrow on the string, impossible to stop!
Zhao Zhao's Friends continued to attack! And their offensive firepower became more and more intense!
Ma Fanfan's Friends' Coach requested a timeout, but he was cruelly rejected by Zhao Zhao's Friends' Coach!
Zhao Zhao's Friends, instead, accelerated their offensive rhythm, continuously shooting! The power of the shots also grew stronger!
Ma Fanfan's Friends had been completely crushed, with no defensive capability.
Finally, Zhao Zhao's Friends ended all their attacks with a powerful world-class shot.
Zhao Zhao's Friends decisively defeated Ma Fanfan's Friends, winning this football friendly match!
-----------------
The next day.
Zhao Zhao opened his eyes and saw Ma Fanfan looking at him intently.
"What, do I have a design on my face?" Zhao Zhao asked.
"No." Ma Fanfan was a little shy, "I just realized you're not only handsome, but... also very impressive."
"Hehe." Zhao Zhao smiled.
The two of them had not just one match last night.
Shortly after the first match, Ma Fanfan's Friends, still wanting more, requested another friendly match, and Zhao Zhao's Friends accommodated this request.
And the result of the match? Zhao Zhao's Friends won again!
In fact, the second match played in a single day often lasts longer and is easier to win than the first...
However, this also consumed a lot of physical energy from Zhao Zhao's Friends' players, so they slept quite late.
"I should go back to the hotel. I'm returning to China this afternoon," Ma Fanfan said, then got up to get dressed.
"Mm." Zhao Zhao looked at Ma Fanfan's graceful back curve and nodded.
This child is just a bit too thin; during the match, he was afraid of breaking the opponent apart...
Now that she was up, he didn't need to be.
Anyway, he was quite tired, so he would just lie in bed and scroll on his phone.
Of course, Zhao Zhao mainly looked at the football news on it.
There was a lot of news about yesterday's match day.
Because with only two rounds left in the League, many things were starting to be decided!
"Conte's Chelsea won this season's Premier League title two rounds early. Will they usher in a new era for the Blues?"
"Chelsea will face Wenger's Arsenal in the FA Cup final. Can they win this season's double?"
"Tottenham, although missing out on the Premier League title, have also secured a Champions League spot two rounds in advance. The last two spots will be decided between Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester United. Currently, Manchester City and Liverpool have a points advantage."
"For Sunderland fans, they had two happy things and one unhappy thing on this match day."
"First, of course, they crushed Swansea four goals to nil in the relegation battle, which made their relegation prospects optimistic. At the same time, their arch-rival Middlesbrough was relegated to the EFL Championship two rounds early. This can be said to be a double blessing!"
"But at the same time, in the 44th round of this season's EFL Championship, Newcastle United defeated Preston 4-1 at home, securing a top-two League position two rounds in advance!"
"Sunderland's biggest rival, Newcastle, will return to the Premier League next season, and the Tyne-Wear derby is likely to reignite the passion of England's northeast!"
"Of course, the premise for this derby to happen is that Sunderland can successfully avoid relegation. Otherwise, they will have to continue to battle Middlesbrough in the EFL Championship and will be mercilessly mocked by Newcastle United fans!"
Seeing this, Zhao Zhao thought for a moment and then opened the current Premier League standings.
He then realized that besides Sunderland, Swansea, and Hull City, who had been entangled at the bottom of the table, many other teams had not completely escaped the danger of relegation.
Since the highest-scoring 18th-place team in the relegation zone, Hull City, had 34 points, and there were only two matches left, this meant that only teams with 41 points or more could be considered truly safe from relegation.
In that case, excluding the already relegated Middlesbrough, there were still as many as six teams struggling!
14th place, Burnley, 40 points.
15th place, Crystal Palace, 39 points.
16th place, Watford, 38 points.
17th place, Sunderland, 35 points.
18th place, Hull City, 34 points.
19th place, Swansea, 32 points.
20th place, Middlesbrough, 28 points.
"It seems my previous estimate that 40 points would be enough to avoid relegation was a bit too optimistic," Zhao Zhao nodded slightly. "I must win both remaining matches to get 6 points and reach 41 points to truly avoid relegation."
However, fortunately, although the relegation situation was still a bit complicated, Sunderland's destiny was completely in their own hands.
Since the opponents in the remaining two matches were direct relegation rivals, Sunderland could also drag down their points by defeating them, making their own survival more secure!
As Zhao Zhao was thinking, his phone rang.
Zhao Zhao looked and, hey, wasn't this Alan Tate, a contact he had just added yesterday!
He quickly picked up.
"Hello, Mr. Tate."
"Mm, mm-hmm, good, no problem."
"It's not a breach of contract, is it? That's even better!"
"Okay, you'll report to our club tomorrow... no, this afternoon!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Zhao's face also showed a brilliant smile.
Good news had been coming one after another these past few days!
"What's making you so happy?" Ma Fanfan also looked over curiously.
She had just finished dressing, but the buttons on her front were not yet fastened.
Now, leaning down to look at Zhao Zhao, her open neckline generously offered a 'benefit' to Zhao Zhao.
Zhao Zhao glanced, and with a 'whoosh', he suddenly felt 'ready to go' again!
Then he pulled Ma Fanfan towards him:
"Why dress so fast? Come on, let's do some morning exercises before you leave!"
