The Pan American Sports Pavilion, which is a large number of 24 university teams and 13 mixed teams, participated in this intense competition.
Our Southeastern University alumni team has a total of 10 players. Although many players are over 50 years old, the players insist on weekly training in the rain and rain in order to prepare for this game. Under the leadership and organization of captain Gao Juhong Beauty, all the players fully cooperated to make way for the game as much as possible, and some players even postponed the mission of travel. Technically, through close training, personal technology and on-field cooperation have been greatly improved in the past year. In terms of logistics, there is the active cooperation and coordination of the old secretor Li Ming, his own money to rent the space, about sparring ball friends. At the pre-game mobilization meeting, “old” president Jerry came to guide in person, and many alumni expressed their willingness to do cheerleading, which greatly encouraged the morale of the players.
At the same time, the main team member Chen Li invited his friend coach Wang to do the whole field guidance for us, coach Wang in their own game tasks at the same time, can come to the southeast university team guidance, but also let the captain and the main team put down the burden, full of force to make a great guarantee. The Southeast University Alumni Team previously sent our juice fish formal dress to attend the drawing ceremony, drew the S17 we think was signed, and won the title of the most handsome draw ceremony.

The schedule is more complicated, many people do not understand, it is difficult to understand how to analyze how to put water to choose the division like to understand the World Cup schedule, the advantage is that each team can only focus on playing each game. Since the Southeast University alumni team is in the afternoon, the opening game feels not enough to warm up enough, losing to the Zhejiang University team, although the score is close. The second game against the Shanghai Tongji Jiaotong United, it seems that it has not been able to adapt to and accept the fact of the failure to Zhejiang University, and it has also lost, fortunately, it has won 1 point. Next against Kawada, the players reversed the decline under the guidance of Wang, and the players seemed to be in a good state, successfully taking 5 points. Again, against South China Polytechnic and the Division’s United team are also full of 5 points. Against Chittagong, after winning three points in the first game, he lost a point in the second game. For the second team of HIT, it seems that the opponent is not in the state, and we are full of 5 points again. At this time, after continuous excitement, the physical exertion of the team members is huge. Wang Lilily aware of everyone’s consumption state, decisively suggested to strategically give up the end of the Dalian Science and Technology team, the collection of the main players, although it is a relatively large score to lose this game, but we have achieved the purpose of exercising the reserve force. The last game, after restoring physical strength, finally gnawed the hard bone of Wuhan University, the score was very close, got 3 points and lost two points at the same time, the second game was 5:10 behind, chasing 11:13. The fighting spirit of the team members greatly infected the cheerleaders on the field.
After the score of the day on Saturday, the Southeastern University Alumni Team Points were provisionally ranked in Group A of the 9th place successfully promoted to the top 12. Sunday morning’s game is a divisional match, and like Saturday’s format, each is 27 minutes complete. The team members heard that the Wuhan University team said that we were weak brigades, and Saturday’s defeat gave us very reluctant. Sunday’s first match was the Wu brigade, and the players showed very relaxed and scored three points in the first game. Next is met with the same city’s brother team Nanjing University team, Nanjing University team in many young faces, in the 2018 indoor football game, we lost to them. In the process of the score glue, the most exciting and exciting moment, cheerleaders said many times they closed their eyes and dared not see the moment of losing. This moment is also the most test of the patience and persistence of the players on the field, and finally we defeated NTU with 21:18 and 10:9, and the alumni of Southeast University are immersed in the ocean of joy. Due to overexcitement, the next two games were lost to two teams, Jeddah and Taishan Television University.
Sunday afternoon was a tense and brutal knockout round, with no longer a 27-minute limit to the knockout rounds, with the first two-game winners advancing. Not the wrong people do not gather, the first game of the knockout game and met the Wu brigade, the first game in the burning climbing score, with 19:21 defeat, the second game, the southeast university’s athletes calm, not arrogant, to 21:16 moved back to a game, the third game with 15:11 finally eliminated the Wuda this “do not see us in the eyes” team, so as to advance to the top 8. Although the next knockout competition will encounter the final first place in this competition, but this competition we have the first time with 50-year-old players rushed to the quarter-finals, which is our best result at present. I hope that the athletes at Southeast University will continue to work hard and get more good grades.
