经历了循环赛和半决赛的激烈角逐，昆仑学院足球队与黑马横断学院足球队会师决赛。昆仑学院是本届比赛的夺冠热门，阵中拥有实力最强的米文朝、高效射手蔡子淇和潜力新星裴圣卿等实力战将。而横断的整体实力则更为均衡，阵中有多名校队轮换球员。
After the round group matches and semi-finals, Kunlun and Hengduan housesmet at the final, with Hengduan being the dark horse of this tournament. Kunlunhad been the most popular would-be-championship team across school as the team has Verbena Mi, known as a player with great stamina, Kevin Cai, an efficient scorer, and Wilson Pei, a potential football star. Hengduan is holistically more balanced across the entire team, and they have several players in theschool football team.

Verbena ran back for the long-range goal, helping Kunlun to lead with 1: 0. However,Hengduan players did not give up. Just before the end of the final, Captain Jason scored a spectacular goal, making the final score 1: 1, and the match came to the point where winner would be determined by penalty kicks.
点球大战横断先罚，郭子锐先拔头筹。此后双方门将程浩宇和娄泽宇皆表现出色，接连扑出点球，而昆仑门将娄泽宇更是亲自主罚命中。横断李肇男的进球锁定胜局，最终横断总比分3:2艰难赢下决赛。

四强巡礼
Brief on Performances of Each House
横断学院足球队
横断球队中包含较多校队轮换球员，整体实力较为平均，队员之间配合默契，在合作中有着良好的化学反应。去年的比赛中，横断半决赛负于昆仑，遗憾未能进入决赛。本次比赛拿到冠军，是横断队员一直以来坚持刻苦训练提高球技的收获。爆冷战胜强大的对手，是横断队员永不放弃、拼到最后一刻的精神的体现。横断队长潘致远的关键球、门将程浩宇的稳健发挥助力球队逆转，拼得冠军。只有在团结的集体中，个人能力才能如鱼得水地发挥。功夫不负有心人，团结的横断收获了理想的结果。
Hengduan House Football Team
There are several players in Hengduan House from the school football team. Their overall strength is relatively balanced and they work very well with each other across the team. Last year, Hengduan failed to make it to the final as they were beaten by Kunlun in the semi-final.They eventually won the championship this year as a result of their hard work in honing skills. They were named as ‘the black horse’ in this year’s tournament due to their resilience and perseverance. The critical goal by Captain, Jason, and vigorous assistance from goalkeeper, Henry, made the reversal and their victory a success. Only in a unified and cooperative teamcan each individual team player fulfill his value, which was here by showcased by Henduan’s victory at the end.
昆仑学院足球队
昆仑拥有实力超群的米文朝、得力干将何鹏与蔡子淇，以及潜力神锋裴圣卿。就每个位置的实力而言，昆仑在四个house中属于上乘，所以在比赛中总能展现出强大的统治力，取得了多场大比分胜利。场上核心米文朝总共攻入5球、蔡子淇也攻入4球，昆仑包揽射手榜前两名。然而足球是圆的，什么事都有可能发生。昆仑经历了小组赛的逆转取胜、半决赛的大胜，却意外在决赛失利。昆仑的绝对实力有目共睹，相信经历了挫折，昆仑明年定会重整旗鼓、卷土重来！
Kunlun House Football Team
Speaking of individual competence, Kunlun is superior to other three houses, with Verbena, Nick, Kevin, and Wilson ascore outstanding footballers. Kunlun House has displayed considerable dominancein the match, having achieved several big victories. In total, Verbena had five goals, and Kevin four, who secured the first two places in the scorer rank. Nevertheless, nothing is definite in the football pitch! Kunlun obtained the victory in group matches and semi-final, but was defeated in the final unfortunately. It is believed by all that Kunlun has the competence to strike us with a strong come back next year.
祁连学院足球队
祁连的场上核心赵笑之是孤胆英雄，在多位队友受伤的被动局面下，依然带领祁连奋勇向前。赵笑之不仅攻入三球荣膺铜靴奖，更是获得了两场小组赛的单场MVP。在半决赛中，祁连与横断在常规时间战平进入点球决胜。在前两轮点球0:2落后的情况下，祁连依然顽强地扳平。即使在加罚轮失利，祁连也依然踢出了精神、展现了实力。祁连足球队的人员结构较为合理，阵容主要由高一高二学生组成，高三的毕业不会对祁连造成太大影响。如此年轻的队伍，在经历新高一的补强和一年的磨炼后，明年必然会提升实力、剑指冠军！
Qilian House Football Team
George Zhao has been the leading player in Qilian who led the team to march forward courageously, given the fact that many teammates were injured during the tournament. He not only won the Bronze Boots, but was also nominated as MVP in two individual group round matches. In the semi-final, when Qilian and Hengduan fought against each other in penalty kicks. Even though Qilian lost two goals in the first two rounds, they still worked together to make the result even.Qilian lost the match at the end, but their tenacity and teamwork impressed all spectators. Qilian football team was assembled mostly by senior one and senior two students, which means that the senior three graduation will not have negative impact on their team overall performance. It is believed that they will further hone their skills and achieve higher goals in the tournament next year!
太行学院足球队
作为卫冕冠军，太行承载了观众们的期待。去年绝地反击的奇迹依然令人记忆犹新，而太行已不再只是一支球队，它更是一种永不放弃的精神。今年的太行同样经历了伤病潮，在最困难时甚至只能6人应战。只要站在场上，太行队员就赢得了所有人的尊重。正如世人不会忘记欧冠决赛伊斯坦布尔之夜、不会忘记英超冠军莱斯特城的壮举，人朝分ALC同学们也不会忘记太行的奇迹，随着时间的推移、年龄的增长，这奇迹尘封进青春的回忆。胜负不是比赛的全部，每一年都有联赛，但太行去年展现出的拼搏精神将历久弥新，烙在我们的心中，时时刻刻激励我们在人生的长河中迎难而上、勇往直前！
Taihang HouseFootball Team
This year, Taihang house carries the expectations of the audience to be the defending champion. It was still clearly remembered by all that last year they fought back and won the final at the end. Unfortunately,they had, again, many teammates being injured in the tournament, with the worst scenario of having only six teammates capable to present on the pitch, winning respect of all. Just as people will never forget the Champions League Final at Istanbul and the Premier League Champion at Leicester, ALC students will never forget the miracle Taihang had presented even with the passage of time. Tournamentis not all about winning the championship. More importantly, it is about delivery of the key message of possessing tenacity, courage, and perseverance.
在人朝分ALC的赛场上，没有输赢的压力、更没有名利的追逐，球员们便能获得更加简单质朴的快乐。“那些令人叹为观止的进球瞬间，在以后的学习生活中，恍如昨日的画面，不会随时钟的滴答声渐行渐远，而是能镌刻在这些未来希望的脑海深处，每当回忆便无法抑制内心的热血沸腾。时光可以改变足球的一切，改变不了的，是那些永远不会被遗失的美好。”
Here at ALC,footballers are capable of enjoying the happiness that football can truly bring them, rather than the pressure of victory or the pursuit of fame. "Memory of those of breath taking goals will not vanish with the passage of time. They will be engraved deep in our memory, accompanying our future study and life,which will bring us irrepressible excitement whenever we think of it. Time is potent to change almost everything, but not those ever lasting memories.
