On March 12, there is a football game between Blue Devils from XJTLU and Daliesun from Shanghai University of Engineering Science. Though Blue Devils lost the game, they also did great job during the game. Both of them bring a gluttonous feast for the audience.

An hour before the game, it began to rain. Blue Devils started to do stretching, hitting, and jumping Jack to warm up. After that, Coach Jay leaded everyone to do basic exercises and everyone of them was in high spirits, and ready for the game with self-confidence.

At the beginning of the game, Daliesun directly into the state and took the lead in scoring. Then Blue Devils caught the ball but punted eventually. During their attack, the ball was dropped many times until the half-time has passed. In the second half of the game, Blue Devils focused on high-frequency attack and went through the 20 yards line twice. Unfortunately, they lost two excellent chances. The time was almost over. Blue Devils did not win in the end. Although they lost, the players’ heroic struggle and tactical cooperation, regardless of offense or defense have done their best. Especially Haocheng.Zhao, the 51th player of the defense, has contributed a lot.

 We interviewed the defense coach Jay after the game.

 Question: Can you make a simple evaluation of the game?

 Jay: Ur…Our offence is a little flab, their offence is also flab. But we both played a good defense in the game. There is time we could have done something, and they made one-on-one tactic and saved their team. They did very good at that. So my hats off for this team’s defense play today, my hats also off for our defense play. We pushed them back 85 yards out of today. Our defense stopped them at the goal line, stopped them from score. We did very well today. It’s a tough day for both offenses since its rain and wet. But hats off to them, they were better team today and they deserve the victory. We just gonna do better next time. I would say that the difference today was that they got a little something going on the offence and we didn’t get anything. Both defense played well.

Question: I hope you can do better next time.

Jay: Thank you. I hope that maybe we can do well on the play offence. We are a good team, there are no excuses. And we just gotta regroup and get better; I think we’ll have chance.

Offensive captain Jiaxin.Zhao says that they made many mistakes today and lost this close game in the end. It’s a pity that they failed two good offences. But they do well in high-frequency offences and basic tactics. In future training, they will pay more attention to basis and details to avoid mistakes.
