Chapter 25: Waiting for the Moment
Chu Ge became the backup goalkeeper of the Cathay Pacific football team.
He was given a set of red jerseys and sneakers, number 29, which looked quite like that.
Chu Ge tried to run on the court, and this feeling of flying in the wind was really good.
Although the Cathay Pacific football team is an amateur team, the players are very arrogant, and Chu Ge's performance surprised them, but it failed to impress them.
Especially when the team has another main goalkeeper, Chu Ge, who has no roots, is difficult to have a chance to play.
"Chu Ge, pick up the ball!"
A tall young man shouted loudly to Chu Ge, this is the team's official striker Zheng Long, wearing the No. 11 jersey.
This is treating Chu Ge as a caddy, obviously, it is for his dismount.
Chu Ge took a breath, ran to the ball, and kicked it out.
Zheng Long took the ball: "Remember, next time you have to throw it with your hands." ”
After speaking, he didn't pay attention to Chu Ge's feelings at all, turned around and ran away, and went to organize the attack.
Chu Ge snorted, he knew that this guy was so unlucky, so he drove directly.
There was no one to practice with Chu Ge, so he hid to the side and practiced his skills on his own.
Chu Ge pretended to have a ball to attack the goal, kept receiving high and low blocks, and practiced extremely seriously.
The training is over.
Tong Xing saw Chu Ge's sweaty appearance, and couldn't help but move in his heart, perhaps it was because of his seriousness that he would have a good goalkeeping ability.
"Chu Ge, you practice hard first! Everyone is preparing for the FA Cup, and after this time, we will practice with you!" Lu Zhenqi said with a smile.
Chu Ge nodded.
He is not short of talent now, what he lacks is a platform to show, so he cherishes every opportunity.
This is one reason why Chu Ge chose the Cathay Pacific football team.
The bigger reason is that this is Chu Ge's hometown team, which makes him have a natural sense of belonging and wants to play for his hometown team.
"Hey, don't be stupid, go help clean up!" a mustachioed player chewing gum said to Chu Ge.
This is the team's main goalkeeper Wang Changdong, Chu Ge's direct rival.
In fact, there were only two boxes of water, and some spare items, so many people, it was easy to take away.
But obviously, Wang Changdong's positioning for Chu Ge is a miscellaneous person, just serve other players.
"Okay!" Chu Ge didn't want to cause trouble, so he hurriedly ran to pack his things.
in the club.
Everyone was resting, the training intensity was not small, and they were all a little tired.
Chu Ge couldn't rest, and from time to time someone instructed him to pour water and get clothes.
It's so easy, when this group of masters is quiet, Wang Changdong beckoned to Chu Ge again: "Come here." ”
"Is there something wrong?" Chu Ge stepped forward and asked calmly.
Wang Changdong said: "Since you are now a member of the team, then I will tell you the rules." ”
"What rules?" asked Chu Ge.
Wang Changdong said: "We are a regular club, with a collar and a salary, so there are rules for everything, how diligent and obedient you are, and you will definitely have a ......future with the club in the future."
Chu Ge wanted to laugh in his heart.
It's just an amateur club, and it pays a salary of 1,000 to 3,000 yuan a month, so many rules come out.
"Don't take it seriously. Wang Changdong said, "You must know that you are still in the internship period, and if you don't perform well, you may be fired at any time."
"I see, I'll take notice. Chu Ge replied casually.
The fact that the Cathay Pacific football team is going to participate in the FA Cup competition has been hotly hyped in Chongyang District, and it is difficult to find a ticket on the spot.
According to the results of the draw, this match is the home stadium of the Cathay Pacific football team, and the single-elimination system will be used.
For this game, the club's senior management attached great importance to it and rented Chongyang District Stadium as its home stadium.
The owner of the club even slapped 100,000 yuan in cash on the table, a piece of red, which was a winning bonus.
Zheng Long and his group were all hot, but they knew that this was just a fantasy, and it was too difficult to win the opponent.
After all, their opponent in the draw, but the Liaoshen Elite Team of the Second Division, ranked third in the Second Division, and almost succeeded in the first division.
The FA Cup match has become a hot topic in Chongyang District.
Chu Jinsong sighed: "It's a pity that I started late, and I can't book tickets." ”
Yang Mei gloated and said: "I can't book it well, why do you watch that thing, it's just a waste of money, it's better to watch TV at home." ”
Chu Jinsong snorted.
Yangmei is purely a woman's opinion, but he knows that he will never be able to figure it out when he breaks these things with his wife.
"I have two tickets here. Chu Ge took out two tickets from his arms, both of which were a little wrinkled.
"Really, aren't you buying scalper tickets, there have been too many fake tickets lately. Chu Jinsong got up to look for glasses so that he could identify the authenticity.
Chu Ge waved his hand: "Don't worry, it's absolutely true, it's a ticket issued by our club." ”
"Your club?" asked Chu Jinsong with a surprised expression.
"I haven't had time to tell you that I'm on the Cathay Pacific football team, and maybe I'll be playing. Chu Ge's words were not confident.
Chu Jinsong's eyes widened: "Do you know how to play?"
"Whether you can kick or not, you will know when the time comes, you can go and see how I perform?" Chu Ge said a little proudly.
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely go see it!" Chu Jinsong said happily, he was a die-hard fan.
Yang Mei was not interested: "I'm not going, if I have this time, it's better to rub two rounds of mahjong." ”
The day before the race.
The Liaoshen elite team came to Chongyang District and settled in Changhong Hotel.
In the afternoon, they went around the stadium, symbolically tried the venue, and went straight back.
In an interview with reporters before the game, the opposing striker Gao Fei released his words that he would score at least three goals in this game.
No one thinks he's exaggerating, but he's the top scorer in the Second Division, scoring 27 goals in 23 games.
It is said that in the next quarter, he will jump ship to another team and become a player in the middle league.
The opposing head coach said calmly: "Here, I want to congratulate the Cathay Pacific football team on reaching the FA Cup, but I don't think they will have any chances. ”
Relatively.
Coach Tong Xing was very modest: "Our game is mainly about the attitude of learning, to see how big the gap is between us and the strong team. ”
Zheng Longyi's arrogant posture: "In this game, we hope to get a goal. ”
The reporter asked: "I heard that the senior management of your club has offered a winning bonus of 100,000 yuan, don't you want to take it?"
Zheng Long smiled bitterly and said, "You have to have that strength." ”
Before the game, all sectors of society, including the news media and professionals, believed that this was a one-sided game, and the difference in strength between the two sides was too great.
Chu Ge is the only one who has some thoughts in his heart, so his training is also quite hard.
Chu Ge's understanding of football and his on-the-spot reaction are constantly improving, but his level is still only at the entry level.
This made Chu Ge very helpless.
On the day of the game, the Chongyang District Stadium was crowded with thousands of people, and it looked very spectacular.
Chi Chongliang and his gang came, and the people from their chess association received internal tickets and made a special trip to cheer for the Cathay Pacific football team.
They sat in the front row one by one, talking and laughing constantly, relaxing and watching the game.
"Hey, isn't that Chu Jinsong? Where did he get the internal ticket. Hao Youwei said with a look of surprise.
"It must have been given to him by Wei Changkong, don't forget, the Chess Association also got the ticket. Sun Guodong said.
In anticipation, the entrance ceremony for athletes from both sides began.
The starting line-up and substitute lists of both sides were reported on the radio, and one name caught the eye.
"Hehe, did you hear it, Chu Ge actually came to play football, this kid is really restless. Hao Youwei said jokingly.
A group of people will laugh knowingly.
No one thinks that this is that Chu Ge, after all, the thing of having the same name and surname happens often.
The Cathay Pacific football team at home is wearing a red jersey that looks like a flame at first glance.
The Liaoshen Elite team wore a yellow jersey, which was their away uniform.
The difference is that the jersey of the Liaoshen Elite Team is printed with the name of the sponsor, while the Cathay Pacific football team does not, which invisibly reflects the gap.
The parties determine the venue.
As the referee blew the whistle, a fierce football match began.
