Chapter 30 Live freely and happily
To be a man, you must have a dream, otherwise, what is the difference between it and salted fish. This sentence is the most profound in my memory. At the same time, this sentence also inspired me to go through the long and difficult years.
At the moment, our dream is simple, which is to score a goal. It's not a big dream, but it's enough to support the soul of our makeshift team.
In the second half, Jia Ge didn't formulate tactics for us and let us play at will. Brother Jia's meaning is very simple, we just need to keep an eye on people and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. Even if we don't score a goal, we can't let the opponent score. Defeat is assured, but you can't lose too badly.
Actually, we all understand. We were a makeshift team and several of them were playing for the first time, including me. Instead of restricting us tactically, let's go our separate ways.
With the whistle blowing in the second half, the game officially began.
At the beginning of the game, the opponent attacked strongly and caught us off guard. In the blink of an eye, two goals were kicked in. When Brother Jia saw it, he didn't give up, waved his hand and shouted, "Defend." ”
I saw my players defending in order to grab a ball. The other party has too much strength, plus the reason for being too strong. Our team members were knocked out of the way.
This phenomenon appeared in front of my eyes, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to get closer, and I had to defend the opponent's number 3. Brother Jia stared at each other with his eyes, and deeply suffocated his internal injuries. As the opponent scored another goal, Jia Ge instantly suffered a 10,000-point attack.
The referee blows the whistle and the opposing team replaces the player. I also ran on the pitch and used a lot of energy. I wanted to take a break, but we didn't have any extra people to exchange.
Taking advantage of the gap between the opponent's exchange of players, we also went to drink water to replenish our strength. I saw that the new player on the other side was Breath Co Qiaoyu. Qiao Yu also walked up to me and asked, "Do you know how to play football?"
"It's all about engagement. "I naturally knew that I wasn't playing well, but I couldn't lose the position, so I found a word to perfunctory the other party.
Qiao Yu smiled: "Give up! you didn't win the chance." ”
"The ball is round, and until the last moment, no one knows who will win or lose. 'They scored eight goals and we didn't score a single goal. We lost this battle. However, it is okay to lose, but not to lose. I can't win against each other in terms of skills, at least I have to outperform them in words.
As the saying goes, if the hardware strength can't keep up, the software must also win. If you lose, you don't lose. No matter what, keep playing to the end.
Qiao Yu lowered his jaw to gesture to the outside of the court, and the corner of his lips smiled, "Look who's coming." ”
My eyes followed the direction he indicated, and the person was Xiao Xiao. Qiao Yu lowered his voice and said, "If you don't want to lose face in front of your old classmates, admit defeat as soon as possible!"
I was provoked by the other party's words, and when I saw the other party's sneering appearance, not only did I not flinch, but I was high-spirited. I looked him in the eye and replied, "It's not necessarily who is disgraced." ”
Qiao Yu wanted to listen to my soft words, but he didn't expect that I didn't know what to do, and said contemptuously: "With her, I won't lose." I'm not going to let you score a goal, I'm going to kick you in double digits. ”
"We'll see. I put those three words down and walked towards the arena.
This battle is not only a friendly match between departments and departments, but also a personal contest between me and Qiao Yu. Didn't he want to be able to do it in front of Xiao Xiao? I'll let him lose completely.
When I got on the pitch, I took the initiative to swap defenders with our players. The goal I want to defend against is very clear, and that is Qiao Yu.
The whistle begins and the game begins.
With my efforts, Qiao Yu played for more than ten minutes, and he didn't even have a chance to touch the ball. Qiao Yu saw that I defended him tightly, and shouted, "Brother, let me touch the ball." ”
I shrugged my shoulders in frustration. Didn't you say you were going to kick me in double digits? I can't help others, but I'm more than enough for you. Rather than me losing by double digits, you can't even touch football. I don't know who is disgraced?
I said, "You're too weak. ”
After I finished these words, I didn't look at him. As for what kind of expression he has, I don't want to know at all.
Qiao Yu wanted to show his skills in front of Xiao Xiao, but he was disturbed by me. For some reason, a strange thought welled up inside me. I really want to see Qiao Yu lose face in front of Xiao Xiao.
It was also with this sense of energy that I fully developed my potential in the second half. Due to a foul by Qiao Yu, I was given a penalty opportunity.
I stuck my tongue out at Qiao Yu, just to anger him. Qiao Yu looked at my expression and wanted to kick me to the other side of the Pacific Ocean. The more angry Qiao Yu was, the happier I felt in my heart.
At least, on the court, I didn't lose to him.
I heard someone say, "This kid, how can you get a chance to get a shot." ”
"You say, can he score?"
'It's his first time playing and it's good to be able to kick the ball away. It's harder to score than to climb to the sky. ”
"It's a pity! Such a good penalty opportunity was wasted. ”
"Who's to say it's not? It's humiliating to be kicked 8-0. ”
Seeing that we had won a hard-won penalty, Jia Ge encouraged me: "Relax, come on." ”
When I met Jago and the team, they were full of expectations for me as a first-time player. All of a sudden, I suddenly felt a lot of stress. The opponent fought in a row and defended tightly. I looked at the ball in front of me and my head was a little dizzy.
I think of the scene of Messi and Ronaldo's penalty kicks, and the whole person is shocked. Even if I can't score a goal, I have to show that I have a lot of respect for football and that I am very professional.
As the referee's whistle blew, I kicked the ball in. Surprisingly, the goal went in. Although, this ball was not kicked by me, but by Qiao Yu's head.
We didn't expect an own goal.
My team-mates rushed towards me and scored the first goal for us, cheering in unison. In the eyes of others, scoring a goal, what is there to cheer about. But, for us, it's memorable.
At this moment, we were happier than if we had won the game.
I watched Qiao Yu lying on the court, with a look of chagrin and remorse. I walked up to him and reached out very generously, "Thank you for scoring for me." ”
Qiao Yu saw my gloating expression, and he must have felt bad. And what about me? That's what I want.
We scored a goal because of the own goal and the morale of the whole team was high. We went on a rampage, led by Jago, and not only in the final moment, did not allow the opponent to score a single goal. We scored our first two goals with our quality.
As the referee's whistle blew, the game was finally over. The result of this match is 8:3, we lost. But our cheers were even happier than when we won the game.
To commemorate this precious moment, we took pictures of each other. Emotions can really be contagious.
The opposing team also came over and took pictures with us.
"Friendship first, competition second. ”
We chanted in unison, frozen in time in this moment. At this moment, I finally understood a truth. Actually, winning or losing is not very important. The important thing is the team, the collaboration, the hard work, and the spirit of never admitting defeat.
Even if you know that defeat is decided, you can't say defeat, let alone give up.
It is more important to live freely and happily than to be a person who only pays attention to winning and losing.
