Chapter 9: The Eve of the Competition
The stands at Yuying Middle School were full of people, and this was the last warm-up match before the qualifiers, although Zhang Shujie and Yan Tao did not play, but this did not hinder the enthusiasm of the students. The team won the last game www.biquge.info, although there are no two strong players in this game, but the opponent is a team that is weaker than Yuying Middle School, and it should not be a problem to win the game.
An Rong didn't let Zhang Shujie and Yan Tao play, the reason why he agreed to the other party to take over this game was to let everyone find some confidence without the two of them.
Now the game has reached the thirty-fifth minute, the score is 1:0, Yuying Middle School leads. The goal for Yuying Middle School was Pan Yongcheng, who changed to the front midfield, and the person who passed the ball was No. 18 Tang Wendong, who replaced Pan Yongcheng to play left forward.
In the 42nd minute, the opponent's No. 20 striker rushed forward with the ball, defender Tang Shun went up to block, and the No. 20 player divided the ball to the side and gave the ball to the No. 8 of his side, who is also their captain, an attacking midfielder.
No. 23 Liu Zhengyang was in charge of defense, and No. 8 handed the ball back to No. 20, and they were in front of the penalty area.
Liu Zhengyang hurriedly stepped forward, while Tang Shun was in charge of defending No. 20, and the two squeezed together. The No. 20 player saw that the captain was unmarked, and distributed the ball again. Single Knife!
Three seconds later, the ball was lying in the goal of Yuying Middle School.
Tang Shun blamed Liu Zhengyang a little, and this ball was indeed Liu Zhengyang's mistake, and the marking was not tight, which caused the opponent to equalize the score. An Rong stood on the sidelines and saw all this clearly.
"He's out of play. Zhang Shujie in the stands said lightly.
A girl next to her asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Shujie replied: "The coach intends to get rid of two more people from the team, which is why he agreed to play this warm-up match with his opponent." ”
"You're saying the team's No. 23 is leaving the team?"
"That's for sure. The opponent is a very weak team, and I am afraid that the whole city will not find a weaker team than them. But it is such a weak team, Liu Zhengyang will still make this kind of mistake, and the coach will never want such a player. ”
The girl asked again, "If you get rid of two people, who is the other person?"
Zhang Shujie thought for a while before saying: "It is estimated that it is a striker, now the team has four strikers, we may not need so much, and the Pan vice team can also play shadow strikers, plus the team has a total of twenty-three people, so for us, four strikers are too much, which will cause insufficient midfielders and defenders." ”
"I think you must be Coach An Rong's first choice in the forward line. ”
Zhang Shujie smiled and said: "There are three situations that will not be me, one is that I am injured, the second is that I am sick, and the third is that I am suspended. Other than that, I think it's going to be me. ”
Zhang Shujie still has this confidence, otherwise wouldn't he, the best player, be in vain?
The girl who spoke to him was not Zhou Ying, Zhou Ying had officially become the manager of the team, and she was now also with the coach, watching the team's every move on the sidelines. The girl sitting next to Zhang Shujie is Zhou Ying's best friend Wang Shihan.
There is no need to ask Wang Shihan why she came, it was Zhou Ying who asked her to come to cheer for her first game as a manager. These two friends who grew up together since childhood, as long as there is nothing particularly important, they are generally together.
The first half ended with a conversation between Wang Shihan and Zhang Shujie, who were also waiting for the second half. Wang Shihan stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side of Zhang Shujie, he looked back and saw Yan Tao wearing a headset, his eyes closed, his palms stretched forward, his body twisting incessantly, looking intoxicated.
He grabbed Yan Tao's headset, and Yan Tao protested: "What are you doing?"
"You're insane?"
"You're crazy!"
"Seeing you writhing so hard, I thought you were sick. ”
"I'm listening to a song, don't bother me. After saying that, he put on the headset again and continued to writhe. He didn't seem to care at all about the course of the game.
Zhang Shujie didn't care about him, let him go.
These two will not play today, and An Rong did not arrange them in the lineup, so he appeared in the stands to watch the game. In fact, Zhang Shujie is watching.
Today is the last day before the National Day holiday, and there is no evening self-study in the evening, so the students come to watch the game generously, not worried that the teacher will gossip. Li Mu knew that Zhang Shujie would not play today, so he was too lazy to come. Xiong Kui had something at home today, he didn't come to class, and naturally he didn't come to watch the game, Zhang Shujie thought it was okay, without that kid yelling in his ears, he was also happy.
The second half began, this time with Yuying High School kicking off, and the team's formation changed from 4-4-1-1 in the first half to 4-3-2-1, and the players were also changed in half. In the warm-up game, there is no substitution limit, you can change as you want. However, Liu Fang and Pan Yongcheng always remained on the court, and An Rong's intention was obvious, asking these two to organize an attack and win the game.
At this moment, both sides were in a stalemate in midfield, looking for opportunities, and the game was a bit boring and lacking in passion.
In the 56th minute, Pan Yongcheng shot from outside the penalty area, the ball was blocked by the opponent's defender, and Shen Xiaogang, who was replaced on the field in the second half, made a supplementary shot, and the ball hit the side netting. Eight minutes later, the opponent was still colored, and the ball was saved by He Xin. Both sides then organized one or two attacks, but the score remained unchanged.
It's now the seventy-seventh minute, Yuying Middle School has a slight advantage, but it can't turn this advantage into a goal, Zhang Shujie gradually felt bored, and glanced at Wang Shihan next to him, this girl is playing with her mobile phone.
"Huh~~~~Huh~~~~"
A sound of snoring alarmed Zhang Shujie and Wang Shihan, they turned their heads to look and found that Yan Tao was tilting his head, his eyes were closed, his chest was rhythmically rising and falling, the headset was still on his ear, and his body was also shaky.
Wang Shihan and Zhang Shujie looked stunned, glanced at each other, and laughed at the same time.
Yan Tao, a bastard, asked him to come to watch the game, but he actually fell asleep.
On the field, Huang Zhou broke the opponent's ball in the middle and passed it to Liu Fang. The latter controlled a few times, and a long diagonal pass was made to Li Jian on the right. Li Jian got down to the bottom and raised his eyes to see Pan Yongcheng running to the front point, Liu Fang in the middle began to outflank, Tang Wendong on the periphery, and Huang Zhou also came up.
The four's runs inside and outside the penalty area attracted the opponent's entire back line, Li Jianqi crossed with his feet, the ball reached the back point, Shen Xiaogang jumped up and shook his head, and pushed the ball into the opponent's gate six yards in front of the goal. It was already the eighty-second minute of the game, and Yuying Middle School led 2:1.
The stands that had been silent for a long time resounded with cheers, and An Rong, who had been standing on the sidelines, also sat back in the coach's seat, but Zhou Ying was so excited that she danced, this was her first game as the team manager, and now the team has overtaken the score, and there is not much time left, and victory is already in sight.
Zhang Shujie sat calmly, not cheering with others, Wang Shihan asked him, "Are you unhappy?"
Zhang Shujie shook his head: "No." ”
"Then why don't you cheer?"
"Aren't you the same?"
"I'm a junior high school student, and it's a high school ball game. I have enough reason, what about you?"
Zhang Shujie smiled: "I just think the opponent is too weak, and winning is a matter of course." ”
With the remaining time and stoppage time, there were 10 minutes in total, and neither side scored again, and in the end, Yuying Secondary School won the game 2-1.
Yuying Middle School won both friendly matches, which bodes well for the qualifiers to be held soon.
The sound of cheers did not wake up the sleeping Yan Tao, and Zhang Shujie pushed him: "Don't sleep." ”
Yan Tao said "ah" and "um" a few times, and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth: "What's wrong?"
"It's over. ”
"Oh, are you done?
"If this kind of belly team can't win, what kind of national competition can it say? ”
Yan Tao stretched: "Where are we going now?"
Zhang Shujie said: "Go down and join the team, I just happened to have something to do with Zhou Ying." Looking at Wang Shihan: "Where are you?"
Wang Shihan thought for a while and said, "I'll go to Zhou Ying too, so that she won't say I'll leave her alone." ”
The three of them walked down, and the team was gone. Zhou Ying saw the three of them coming and made a victory gesture.
An Rong said to everyone: "Very good. This game proved that we are not bad, even without Zhang Shujie and Yan Tao on the field, we have a way to win. ”
When Yan Tao heard this, he felt that something was wrong, and whispered to Zhang Shujie: "Coach, is this reducing our role in the team?"
Zhang Shujie said: "The big game is coming, the coach is just to improve the morale of the team, telling them not to rely too much on us, I don't believe you look at the teammates." ”
Yan Tao looked at it, it was really. The players were full of confidence one by one, and felt that the team really no longer relied on two people, and they would be able to win the national competition.
An Rong changed his words again: "But there are still players whose performance is not satisfactory to me." His gaze stayed on Liu Zhengyang's face, Liu Zhengyang hid in the crowd, not daring to show his body.
"Okay, let's go change our clothes, and I'll ask Liu Fang to inform the two players who have left the team later. ”
The team members walked into the lounge one after another, and Zhou Ying was inconvenient to go in, waiting for them outside. Zhang Shujie and Yan Tao did not appear, so naturally they didn't need to change any clothes.
At this time, Zhang Shujie walked to Zhou Ying's side: "Do me a favor." ”
Zhou Ying asked, "What's busy?"
"Have you done your English homework today? ”
"yes, what's wrong?"
"I won't do it, borrow it and copy it. Zhang Shujie's answer was very direct.
Zhou Ying's eyes widened: "You mean, you haven't done a good job?"
"I can't read the Martian script, so I have to do it alone...... Is it a ghost drawing talisman?"
"But...... I've already turned in my English homework. ”
"What?" This time it was Zhang Shujie's turn to glare: "When did you hand it in?"
"This afternoon, you don't know?"
"I want to know and ask you?"
Zhou Ying said: "Don't worry, the teacher said that the football team can be handed in later because of the special situation." ”
"The circumstances are exceptional...... I'm the only one in the class who is a varsity player!Zhou Ying, when can I be late at the latest?"
"Before 7 p.m., it's too late, and the teacher has to leave after 7 p.m. ”
Zhang Shujie took out his mobile phone to look at the time: "It's only a few minutes past six, and it's still too late." You teach me how to do the questions, I won't. ”
"You take out the question paper, and I'll tell you how. ”
"I'm empty-handed, and I don't have a backpack, so where did I get the question papers? ”
Zhou Ying sighed after hearing this: "Then I may not be able to help you." ”
Zhang Shujie was stunned: "Why?"
Zhou Ying explained: "You know that tomorrow is the National Day, so there is no evening self-study tonight, many classes are on holiday in advance today, and the students in our class have also walked a lot, the classroom door is locked, and the class leader takes away the key." But the class leader didn't watch the ball, and the few students in the class who stayed to watch the ball didn't have the keys to the classroom. ”
Zhang Shujie lowered his head: "It's over! After I come back from the National Day, I will be punished for copying the test papers at least 30 times." It's going to kill me!"
Yan Tao stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, looking sympathetic.
"What is your question paper? Is it on the "High School English Weekly" that the school subscribes to?" asked Wang Shihan.
Zhang Shujie nodded in frustration: "Yes." ”
"Otherwise, I'll tell you how. ”
Zhang Shujie turned his head abruptly and looked at her. Yan Tao also opened his eyes wide, looking at this girl in the third year of junior high school.
Zhou Ying slapped her forehead: "Yes, I almost forgot, Shihan will do it!"
"Can she do high school English?" Zhang Shujie looked incredulous.
"Don't underestimate her! She's been learning English since she was a child, and she can write hundreds of words while we're still practicing the pronunciation of letters. Her current level of English is much better than that of the average high school student, and she is preparing to teach Italian on her own in the future. ”
Yan Tao was confused: "Why do you want to learn Italian? That language is not widely used, right?"
Zhang Shujie said: "This is not important! The important thing is to help me get my English homework done quickly! By the way, you don't have the "High School English Weekly!" The last sentence was said to Wang Shihan.
"You don't have to worry, in order to keep pace with the school, I have a separate subscription, I don't know which issue you want?"
This question asked Zhang Shujie, and he really didn't pay attention to which issue.
Zhou Ying replied for him: "The fourth issue of the new edition in September." ”
"I have, at my desk. ”
Zhang Shujie only felt that this was the most beautiful sentence he had heard in his life.
"God open your eyes!" he shouted, and Liu Fang, who happened to be changed into clothes and had already walked over, heard it: "What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Shujie didn't have time to pay attention, and said to Wang Shihan: "Let's go, go to your classroom." ”
"Well, good. The two of them went to the junior high school as they spoke. Zhou Ying is now the manager of the team, and she wants to be with the team, and she can't leave before the team leaves, so she didn't go with Wang Shihan.
Yan Tao said with a smile: "I'll go to see the excitement." So he shook his feet and followed.
The team members walked to Zhou Ying's side one after another, and when they saw that the three of them were walking faster than the other, they all asked Zhou Ying what happened, but Zhou Ying didn't say. This kind of thing, it's inconvenient to say it.
In the middle school, the first and second students have gone home from school, and only a few students in the graduating class are still in the classroom. Wang Shihan's junior high school class is a top class, and there are more than 20 people. She found the question paper in her place, it was still white, and she had to start from scratch.
She took the question paper and pen to find Zhang Shujie and the others standing outside the door, Zhang Shujie wanted to do it himself, but he felt troublesome, so he simply asked Wang Shihan to do it for him.
So Wang Shihan started the question directly in the corridor, and in order to save those few seconds, the classroom was not entered. This is the first time Zhang Shujie has seen Wang Shihan write, and her handwriting is as beautiful as her person, although it is written in English.
Yan Tao watched the excitement happily, Zhang Shujie pulled him aside and lowered his voice: "Yan Tao, let me tell you, you must not tell anyone about this matter, especially the people of the team." ”
"Why?"
"Are you stupid? The junior high school student helped the first-year high school student to do English questions, and I am not ashamed to be ashamed? Anyway, I am also the team's positive Indian striker, and I can't afford to lose this face. Besides, it's not good for the team's reputation either. ”
Yan Tao nodded fiercely: "I understand, I will keep it secret for you." But Zhou Ying knew. ”
"Don't worry, she won't say it. ”
Forty minutes later, Wang Shihan handed over a complete answer sheet to Zhang Shujie, Zhang Shujie took it, thanked him repeatedly, and then took the finished question sheet and rushed to the English teacher's office, Yan Tao also ran behind him.
Wang Shihan smiled helplessly and shook her head, looking at Zhang Shujie who was running away, and she didn't walk back to the classroom until her back disappeared.
She packed up her textbooks and prepared to call Zhou Ying home with her. But at this time, she suddenly thought of a very serious problem.
"Oh no, the handwriting is wrong!"
