Chapter 42: The Almighty Midfielder

The big victory against the seventeenth middle school did not make the players of Yuying Middle School get carried away, if such a weak opponent can't win, let alone the arrogant talk of entering the national competition. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because the opponent is too weak, the coverage of the game in magazines such as the "Youth Cup" is relatively simple, not as attractive as usual, just saying that Yuying Middle School won a hearty victory, and the content is not very detailed.

On Sunday afternoon, it was raining in the sky, Zhang Shujie was playing "Pro Evolution Soccer" at home, and when he was fascinated, the ringtone of the mobile phone on the table scared him a lot, he was a little unhappy, and someone called when he was playing.

As soon as he looked at the caller ID, it was an unfamiliar number, and now he was even more unhappy, seeing that he was about to win the game in the game, this string of Arabic numerals that appeared on the mobile phone screen affected him, making him lose another battle.

Zhang Shujie pressed the connection, and he was so angry that he "heyed" a sentence: "Who?"

The question on his lips was very simple, but his thoughts were very complicated: Don't call early, just call at this time! If it's a man, I'll greet the most beautiful woman in your family! If it's a beautiful woman, I'll circle you!

While thinking wildly, a girl's voice came from the phone: "Is it Zhang Shujie? I'm Wang Shihan." ”

When Zhang Shujie heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and almost shook his mobile phone to the ground.

It was actually a call from Wang Shihan, which Zhang Shujie didn't expect. Although there was a lot of communication between the two before, they never left each other's phone numbers, and Wang Shihan shouldn't know his number.

However, Zhou Ying, the manager of the team, knows the contact information of all members of the team, which is a necessary condition for a manager. Wang Shihan and Zhou Ying are best friends, and it is estimated that she found Zhang Shujie's mobile phone number from Zhou Ying.

"Hey, are you Zhang Shujie?" Wang Shihan didn't hear a reply, and asked again.

Zhang Shujie replied: "I am, what are you looking for me?"

"Are you out now?"

"Go out?" Zhang Shujie didn't react yet: "Where am I going?"

"Come to Yat-sen Square in Zhongshan Park, I'll wait for you here. ”

Zhang Shujie was even more surprised: he called me to go to Zhongshan Park on Sunday, and he was still waiting for me there...... She probably wants to date me, does she?

Zhang Shujie wanted to get into trouble, why did he suddenly go on a date? It seems that there has been no progress, right? Could it be that girls nowadays are so active? If this continues, the "circle and fork" that was just accidentally hit will be realized in less than three months! However, it is raining outside, how can this be "dated"? But then again, walking in the rain is quite romantic. Women are all small and fresh, and they prefer this kind of nihilistic thing.

He thought about it, but he was a little distracted. Although he doesn't have any feelings for Wang Shihan, his feelings are cultivated. Besides, a big beauty like Wang Shihan asks a boy to go out, as long as she is not gay, she will not refuse.

Zhang Shujie can be sure that he is heterosexual, so he ......

"You're waiting for me in Zhongshan Park, aren't you? No problem, I'll be right there! You see it's raining right now. Let's go and book a table for dinner first, and then buy two movie tickets, what kind of movies do you like to watch? Horror movies or romance movies? I think the action movies of the island country are better, but unfortunately the movie theaters can't see them. ”

On the other end of the phone, Wang Shihan was obviously stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "What are you thinking nonsense? ”

"What is the reason?"

"Have you forgotten what Coach An Rong said yesterday?"

"What did the coach say?" It seems that Zhang Shujie really doesn't remember what An Rong said yesterday.

Wang Shihan said: "He said that at four o'clock this afternoon, he asked us to go to his house, and he had something to tell us. ”

After Wang Shihan's reminder, Zhang Shujie also remembered that An Rong had indeed said this. He looked at the time, and it was almost 3:15.

Wang Shihan's voice continued to come from the phone: "Zhou Ying and I are now in Zhongshan Park, Zhou Ying called the coach, but the coach said that he was at the airport and asked us to wait for him in the square for a while, saying that it was very close to his home, and it was more convenient to wait here." ”

"What is he doing at the airport?"

"Maybe it's a pick-up. We notified Deputy Team Pan and Yan Tao, as well as you, and Team Liu. But Team Liu's phone has not been able to get through, and Zhou Ying is still calling. ”

"Okay, I'll come over right away, you wait for me for a while. ”

"Well, here's my mobile number. If you don't see me in the square, just call this number. ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

Zhang Shujie wrote down the number and ran to the living room to put on his shoes. His father, Zhang Hongwei, asked him, "Ajie, where are you going in such a hurry?"

"If you're in a hurry, go to the coach. ”

"Do you still go out when it rains, do you come back for dinner in the evening?"

"No, you eat first, leave me alone. Before he could finish speaking, he ran out.

His mother, Fang Minqing, shouted, "Have you finished your homework?"

There was no Zhang Shujie's voice outside the door, only an echo.

Fang Minqing blamed her husband: "Look what you are used to your son? What will we do if this continues?"

Zhang Hongwei felt that he was very wronged: "I have taken care of it, but is it useful? I have figured it out now, and in the future, I will get him to work in my unit, and there will be no problem with my relationship in the unit." ”

"That's all you think about. ”

"I don't want to, but I can't help it, he's been like this since he was a child, he can't be high or low, and it's useless to force him. Besides, he plays football so well, maybe he can be a star in the future. ”

"You just dream, you. ”

The rain was not heavy, and there were still many people around Yixian Square in Zhongshan Park, Wang Shihan, Zhou Ying, and Pan Yongcheng were the first to arrive. Zhou Ying held an umbrella in one hand and kept calling Liu Fang's phone with the other, but she didn't know what was going on, and she couldn't get through.

"Captain, where the hell is he in the deep corner? Zhou Ying complained, and asked Wang Shihan again: "How is Zhang Shujie?"

"He'll be right away. ”

"Where's Yan Tao?"

"Deputy Pan said that he can be there in a minute. ”

Zhou Ying still persevered on Liu Fang's call, and after two fruitless attempts, she finally got through.

"It's through! Hey, is it Team Liu? I'm Zhou Ying, where are you? The phone can't get through......

During the call between Zhou Ying and Liu Fang, Yan Tao had already arrived, and as soon as he came, he kept complaining: "The coach is really, what are you calling us to do when it's raining?"

Pan Yongcheng said: "The coach will definitely not call us over for no reason. ”

"Then why don't we go to his house, what are we doing in the park?"

"The coach went to the airport for a while, and told us to wait in the park for a while, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get in even if we went to his house. ”

Zhou Ying ended the call with Liu Fang and said to everyone: "The captain was not at home just now, he was at his grandmother's house, and the signal was a little poor, but now he has rushed over and will be there soon." ”

Yan Tao asked, "Where is Zhang Shujie, when will he come?"

Wang Shihan stretched out his hand and pointed: "He is already here." ”

Zhang Shujie held an umbrella and walked in front of everyone with a smile: "I've been waiting for a long time." Hey, what about the captain?"

"I'll be there soon, wait a minute. ”

Everyone had to wait. Needless to say, how cold the weather is when it rains, but one thing is very strange, this year's Dalian has not snowed so far, but it has rained several times, but it snowed this time last year. Zhang Shujie saw that it was raining today, so he wore an extra piece of clothing, thinking that it would not be cold, but he was wrong, he still felt a little cold.

I don't feel anything about staying at home with the heating on, and it's a little unbearable to come out.

He put his left hand in his trouser pocket, held an umbrella with his right hand, and occasionally took a few light steps to warm his body. Wang Shihan didn't know why, so he stepped forward and asked, "Why are you jumping around?"

"Isn't it cold? I'll exercise and get some warmth. ”

"Who told you not to wear a little more. ”

Zhang Shujie joked: "Why don't you take off your coat and borrow it for me?"

Wang Shihan smiled lightly: "Are you wearing my clothes?"

"So I had to exercise to keep my body calories. Saying that, he jumped high on the spot, showing his super bounce power.

Wang Shihan looked back at Pan Yongcheng and Yan Tao, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Shujie: "Why don't you let Deputy Pan and Yan Tao lend you clothes?"

"Excuse me. The clothes of the deputy team must be too small for me to wear, and Yan Tao's clothes will be too big. ”

"How do you know if you haven't worn it?"

"Do you still need to wear it? The two of them are not as big as me. ”

"Stinky beauty. ”

Wang Shihan was dressed very warmly, with an off-white woolen jacket, light gray tight leggings, black mid-cut flat boots, and a lilac scarf. This outfit, coupled with her long shawl hair, delicate facial features and fair skin, will really sparkle a man's eyes when she stands in this crowd.

Especially when she is still holding an umbrella, this is even more pitiful.

Yan Tao's eyes wandered on Wang Shihan intentionally or unintentionally, and he wanted to go over and say a few words, but he saw Zhang Shujie beside him.

Zhang Shujie glanced at Wang Shihan a few times, and remembered the "circle and fork" he came up with at home, and felt funny, but he didn't laugh out loud, so he had to hold back. Wang Shihan saw that his expression was very strange, so he asked, "Are you...... Is there something you want to say that is inconvenient to say?"

"No, I don't. Zhang Shujie was still holding back.

Wang Shihan didn't eat this set: "Deceive." ”

"Not really, haha. ”

"And what are you laughing at?"

"Did I laugh? No, haha, haha!" he finally burst out laughing.

The passers-by around looked at him as if they were looking at him as if they were nervous, and Zhou Ying, Pan Yongcheng, and Yan Tao were also confused. But it was also at this time that Liu Fang came to Yatsen Square.

He was a little far away from the position of the five people, but he didn't walk over, but beckoned and shouted from afar: "Zhou Ying, you come to me, hurry up!"

Everyone saw him, Zhang Shujie smiled and said to Wang Shihan: "The captain is here, let's go first." ”

A group of five people walked up to Liu Fang, and Liu Fang said, "The coach just called me and said that he will be home soon, let's go first." ”

Yan Tao asked, "How long does it take to get from here to the coach's house?"

"Five minutes at most, let's go. ”

Liu Fang told the truth, it was indeed very close from Zhongshan Park to An Rong's home, and they had only been walking for more than three minutes before they arrived at the gate of the community. It happened that An Rong also rushed back at this time and bumped into a few people.

"Coach!" Liu Fang shouted, seeing that An Rong was still followed by a young man, so he asked, "Coach, you go to the airport to pick him up." ”

"That's right. ”

"Then he's ......"

Before Liu Fang finished asking, the young man said to Zhang Shujie: "You should be Zhang Shujie, right?"

Everyone was stunned.

Zhang Shujie looked at the young man and said for a moment: "You are ...... Chen Zihua?"

Chen Zihua smiled: "Good eyesight, I really didn't expect you to recognize me." ”

"One of the best midfielders in the national junior league, how could I not recognize it. ”

Wang Shihan asked, "He also plays football?"

Zhang Shujie replied: "Of course, it is also a very powerful character. I just don't know how he ended up here with the coach. ”

An Rong said, "Go into the house, let's go into the house and talk about anything." ”

Chen Zihua, born in Hebei Province and registered in Guangdong, represented Guangzhou Kaisheng Middle School in the National Junior High School Football League during junior high school, participated in the National Junior High School Football League three times, and was eliminated in the first round of the first two times. The best result was in the tournament that ended this summer, when Chen Zihua, who won the main team, led the team to the third place, and he personally played five games, scoring seven goals and providing eight assists, and was selected for the best team of the tournament.

However, Chen Zihua, who came all the way from Guangdong, seems to be very familiar with An Rong, how did they meet?

Several people sat around the living room, and An Rong poured a cup of hot water for each of them, and talked about how he met Chen Zihua.

Things have to be traced back to 2000, when An Rong had just turned 30 years old, when China did not have a Chinese Super League, and the highest level of competition was the A League, An Rong was the head coach of a B team's reserve team, and also trained many excellent players. But due to the corruption of Chinese football, most of the players lost their qualifications to enter the first team, and An Rong was angry and walked away, away from the rights and wrongs of professional football.

At this time, An Rong did not come to Yuying Middle School immediately. He had a friend with a strong family background, and on the recommendation of this friend, he went to Europe to study, which was five years, during which he also returned to China to visit his family, but he did not stay for long. It wasn't until last year that he really said goodbye to Europe and returned to China.

Soon after returning to China, An Rong stayed in Guangdong for a while, and it happened that Kaisheng Middle School was recruiting a coach for the school football team. This is actually because Chen Zihua studied relatively early, a little younger than the students of the same period, and even now he is one year younger than Zhang Shujie and Yan Tao, who are also high school students.

This excuse caused Chen Zihua to be unable to sit in the main position, and it was An Rong who changed him. In the qualifiers, An Rong built him into an all-round midfield king, he was the absolute main force in An Rong's hands, and he lived up to his expectations and led the team to the national competition with an undefeated record.

In this regard, Chen Zihua is very grateful to An Rong, if there is no An Rong, Chen Zihua can only be a substitute, or a substitute who can't play a few games. Unfortunately, before the start of the national competition, An Rong resigned as the coach of Kaisheng Middle School due to an urgent matter at home, returned to Dalian, and became the coach of the Yuying Middle School football team this year.

Chen Zihua has been retained many times, but An Rong has made up his mind, and Chen Zihua is also sad. An Rong jokingly said: "If you really want to play under me, come to Dalian to find me." This was an unintentional move, but Chen Zihua took it seriously: "As long as it is possible, I will definitely go to Dalian to find you." ”

After An Rong left, the team's new coach didn't understand tactics at all, and actually put Chen Zihua in the position of center forward! Although Chen Zihua's offensive ability is very strong, he is not suitable for playing as a center forward. He also proposed it to the coach about it, but the coach didn't listen at all.

Later, in the national competition, Chen Zihua, who could not adapt to the position of center at all, could only play the game in his own way, although Kaisheng Middle School finally won the third place in history, Chen Zihua also had a good result of seven goals and eight assists, but he had a conflict with the coach, which also made him miss An Rong even more.

As soon as he graduated from junior high school, Chen Zihua wanted to come to Dalian to find An Rong, so he called An Rong in advance and said that he would come as soon as he completed the transfer procedures. Unexpectedly, his father was busy with business all day long and had no time to take care of him, which also caused him to fail to transfer to Yuying Middle School at the beginning of the school year, so he had to ask his mother for help.

Chen Zihua's parents divorced very early, and the court sentenced him to his father, but his father didn't care about him, as long as he didn't kill people, set fires, fight, and make trouble, he didn't bother to ask. When Chen Zihua found his mother, he was worried that his mother would not pay attention to it, but her mother is a mother after all, because she has not seen her son for many years after divorcing her husband, she loves her son even more when she meets her, no matter what her son says, she will agree.

Mother's love will always be the greatest in the world.

The mother searched for all the connections and spent a lot of money, and the football team of Kaisheng Middle School finally agreed to release him. Yuying Middle School learned that the transferred student was a football student, so he accepted it immediately without saying a word. However, because Chen Zihua changed schools halfway, according to the school's regulations, he could only come after the midterm. Chen Zihua doesn't mind, as long as he can play under An Rong, it doesn't matter if he waits for two more months.

He told An Rong the news, and An Rong was also overjoyed when he found out. As soon as the midterm exam passed, Chen Zihua packed his bags and went north to Dalian. But because of some messy procedures and files, he has not met An Rong until now.

Several people in the living room were silent after listening to An Rong and Chen Zihua's previous experiences. Yan Tao glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Don't be so quiet." It's a good thing that Chen Zihua has joined our football team. ”

Chen Zihua looked at him and said, "I know you, your name is Yan Tao, right?"

Yan Tao nodded and said, "That's right." ”

"In this year's junior high school football league, we would have had the opportunity to meet. ”

"It's a pity that my Rising Sun Middle School stopped in the quarterfinals and couldn't meet you. ”

"But you're very capable, and I've watched your game on purpose. ”

"It's so-so, it's okay. ”

Chen Zihua asked An Rong: "Coach, I only know Zhang Shujie and Yan Tao of the six of them, don't you introduce the other four friends to me?"

An Rong smiled dumbly: "I only cared about telling them about you, and I forgot to introduce it to you." So he introduced these four people to Chen Zihua one by one. When talking about Wang Shihan, Chen Zihua was also slightly surprised.

"She's a correspondent, what does she do?"

"It is to help the team take photos of the game, and then hand it over to the colonel's press corps and publish it in the "School Newspaper". ”

Chen Zihua smiled: "It's not simple, the school also arranges a reporter for the team separately, and he is still a junior high school student." ”

"Because these days, the team has played some results and the school has taken good care of us, as long as our requests are not excessive, they will say yes. ”

Liu Fang said: "No wonder the coach wants us to practice defense in the midfield these days, it turns out that it is because of the arrival of Chen Zihua." It's good that with him in midfield, we just have to help him a little more and then concentrate on defending. ”

An Rong took a sip of water: "I don't need to say much about Chen Zihua's ability, anyone who has watched the junior high school competition knows it." Liu Fang, you still have to continue to practice hard in the midfield defense, this is a dirty job, you can't get too much limelight, you have to hold on. ”

Liu Fang resolutely said: "Coach, don't worry, for the sake of the national competition, we will definitely be able to persevere." ”

An Rong was very satisfied, he looked at the time, it was already 17:00: "It's hard for everyone to come today, why don't we go to dinner together, just wash the dust for our new teammates." I'll invite you, okay?"

When it came to having a dinner party, these teenagers and girls couldn't wait to get up and go to the restaurant.

Zhang Shujie pulled her behind Wang Shihan and asked quietly, "Do you remember what I said to you on the phone before?"

Wang Shihan asked rhetorically: "What words?"

"That's what I said I wanted to book a table for dinner! Now I really want to eat out, right? It's just that it's not just the two of us, and I don't have to pay for it, haha. ”

"You ......"
