Lishui Football Super League kicks off
Wu Shunze, Zhu Linsen, Zhu Qinan and others attended
On the afternoon of December 20, the Lishui City Football Super League kicked off at the Lishui City Sports Center. The north-south city derby showdown between the Liandu team and the Lishui Economic Development Zone team started the first focus battle of the Lishui Super League. Wu Shunze, Secretary of the Lishui Municipal Party Committee, Zhu Linsen, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, Zhu Qinan, Member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the Zhejiang Provincial Sports Bureau, and others attended the event.
One of the highlights of the Lichao League is that it is purely grassroots. Professional players are not allowed to participate. Most of the players are office workers, teachers, students and other ordinary people, restoring the true nature of football competition. With a precise kick from Ji Junyu, the whitewater canoeing champion of the 15th National Games, the opening match officially started.
The Liandu team playing at home had a balanced lineup, fierce offensive, and quickly controlled the rhythm of the court; the Lishui Jingkai District team playing away had a solid defense and sharp counterattack, showing strong resilience. In the 34th minute of the first half, Wu Wei, the No. 11 player of the Liandu team, received a pass from his teammate outside the penalty area. After a slight adjustment, he made a wonderful long shot. The football shot into the net as accurately as a cannonball, and the first goal of the Lichao League was born.
In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again. The Liandu team took advantage of the victory and continued to launch fierce attacks on the defense line of the Economic Development Zone team. The Economic Development Zone team resisted tenaciously. The two sides formed a crazy confrontation, and the offensive and defensive transition rhythm was extremely fast. Every wonderful pass and defense attracted bursts of cheers from the audience, making the game fully enjoyable to watch.
With the strong offensive momentum, the Liandu team repeatedly tore through the defense line of the Jingkai team and broke into the penalty area. In the 67th minute, player No. 30 Jiang Yansheng scored the second goal, expanding the score to 2-0. Facing the lagging situation, the Lishui Economic Development Zone team was not discouraged. All the players were united and insisted on tight defense until the end of the game. The goalkeeper of the Economic Development Zone team, Zou Junmiao, performed bravely throughout the game. He eliminated the Liandu team’s scoring opportunities many times and made many wonderful saves. He showed a high level of competitiveness on both ends of the offense and defense, winning the respect and applause of the fans at the scene.
Finally, at the end of the game, the Liandu team defeated the Lishui Economic Development Zone team with a score of 2-0, getting a good start in the league.
“It’s so exciting! It’s really fun to watch the football match at home!” Chen Luli, a fan watching the match, said excitedly, “I will come to support every match if I have the opportunity. I hope Lishui football will get better and better and encourage more people to play.” Citizen Huang Yili brought her daughter to watch the football. She said happily: “Such an event not only enriches our weekend life, but also allows children to feel the charm of football and cultivate a fighting spirit, which is very meaningful.”
It is worth mentioning that in order to deeply integrate the passion of football with the charm of cultural tourism, Liandu has launched a series of cultural and tourism preferential activities. From now until the end of January next year, with this game ticket, you can visit the two major scenic spots of Guyan Painting Township and Dongxiyan for free, and enjoy exclusive discounts from cooperative merchants such as related accommodation, dining, and shopping. In addition, tourists can also participate in the “Follow Lichao Tour to Liandu” activity.
