Chapter 42 Sympathy

If both sides are equal teams, then the Oxford Holiday Street Vido football team wins, but unfortunately they are an amateur student football team, and there is no problem with the general football game to insist on 90 minutes, but the consumption of this game is too great, except for one II is still flying, the other midfielders are already heavy and unsustainable. There is no problem with substitutions, but the strength is not good and the effect is not great.

What about the Podik Town team? It's also the sixth tier of the English league, and most of the players eat by playing football.

Just as the Oxford Holiday Street Team made a substitution, the Podick Town team launched another onslaught.

The time has been in the last five minutes, although the Podick Town team has not yet scored, but the strength of the Podick Town team has overwhelmed the Oxford Holiday Street Team, like a storm and waves that do not stop hitting the dam, fortunately, the turtle shell is strong, and the second has also retracted to help the defense. Defending doesn't have to be a lot of people, but if there is no one to defend, it's definitely not going to work.

Just when the Podick Town team was scoreless, and the time was running out, when the players of the Oxford Holiday Street Victor football team were about to celebrate another victory, then the second was suddenly startled, raised his eyes and looked towards the penalty area. The figure of No. 6, who was not tall and could be said to be very short, reappeared in the restricted area.

The second couldn't help but blame himself, how could he forget him? II, the feeling of blood boiling in the first half came, II stopped suddenly, started to defend back, and rushed towards No. 6 like a bullet, almost close, and it only took three or two steps to catch up.

However, God once again played a joke on the second, and when the second and the 6 were infinitely close, the second raised his leg to make a movement to prevent the opponent from shooting, and the ball went in. It was him again, No. 6, the little defender, who took the lead and shot the goal before the destruction of the two.

The second was wide-eyed, open, No. 6, without any fancy movements, with his keen judgment of the ball path and landing point, a series of extra runs, confusing the sight and judgment of the defenders, and then grabbing the ball with a light weight, the shot was successful.

The second couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, it's a pity that No. 6 doesn't play as a striker, he came up twice in the penalty area and scored two goals.

There was no celebration in the whole stadium, the fans of the Podick Town team in the stands just a few applause, and then it stopped, the time was gone, and the players of the Podik Town team did not congratulate, it was too embarrassing, the goal at the last moment, this was not a colorful dress, it was to tear off that fig leaf, **naked shame.

The players of the Oxford Holiday Street Team also crossed their waists, watched each other in silence, worked hard for 90 ten minutes, defended for 90 minutes, put on a turtle shell formation, and tried their best to defend. If it hadn't been for Ni's second-half goal, the team was scored at the last minute by the opponent and lost, maybe such a student player would not have been so upset. But in fact, there was hope, especially persevered until the last moment, I thought that I could happily return to Oxford with victory, but God is so fond of playing tricks on people, the greater the so-called hope, the greater the disappointment.

In the summer evening, in London, in the town of Bodik, the sun was no longer hot, and was shining red, trying to envelop people and objects within a radius of several hundred meters of the stadium, making a final dazzle, as if to drive away the thick unwillingness that was permeating the ground.

Draw, players on both sides are unwilling, although this is a warm-up friendly match, not so serious, the draw is a happy situation, but the competitive strength of the two teams and players are really not equal.

After the game, those fans were also unhappy, like a defeated rooster, and left in a hurry, and the players in the stadium also meant that they were uneasy, and the second was also ready to go back to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes and go back to Oxford, originally planned to play in London for a night, it is estimated that everyone's mood can not calm down for a while, it is better to go back and lick the wounds. Actually, the Oxford Holiday Street Soccer team should be proud, but that's what football is all about.

"Hey, number 11, get to know Kevin. Phillips. At this time, the number 6 of the Podick town team came over, stretched out his right hand to the second, and said sincerely.

II reached out and patted his hand, held it, let go, looked at the short wet hair, cheered up, and said, "Hello! Phillips, my name is Qin Long. ”

No. 6, he took off his jersey, handed it to the second, and said, "I still have you dragon or Qin, change the jersey, is it okay?" ”

"Wow, you can call me Long or Qin, it's okay. As you can see, I haven't changed jerseys with anyone else? The second also smiled and took off the jersey on his body and said.

"Really, for the first time? You bought your team's jerseys at your own expense. ”

"Well, well, I bought the jersey myself." But the second feels weird.

"Oh, wait for me, I'll give you the money, you can buy another set of jerseys. I know that student money doesn't seem to be a lot. ”

"I don't need it, thank you, Phillips."

"Hehe, I like to collect those excellent players' jerseys, and when I retire in the future, I open a jersey exhibition hall, how great it is."

"What a great idea! You're going to have to change a lot of jerseys a year, but if the rest of your team is like you, your club will lose a lot. II joked.

"How is this possible? The club gives four sets of jerseys in a season, and if they are lost or broken, they have to pay for them from the club. The club doesn't advocate changing jerseys, but that's what I do, and as long as I look at a player, I change shirts with him. Phillips said a little indignantly.

The second couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he really didn't know that there was such a rule, and he couldn't help but feel resentful that the club was slamming the door, and he was secretly happy that Phillips could look at himself.

"Qin, are you also a student at Oxford University? Where are you from? ”

"Chinese, from Hong Kong, China, is studying for a preparatory course in law at Oxford University."

"Hey, you didn't grow up in England, but I think you're a great player. I was just wondering how you went to college and didn't go on the path of a professional footballer? ”

"Huh." II didn't have anything to say.

"No, you're not that old now, are you? With your ability, why didn't you play in a professional league in your country? Is it true that the level of players in your country is so good? All like Brazil? What do I think of how few players from your country are seen in the European professional scene? Phillips suddenly woke up as if he had woken up, and asked a series of questions.

"Oh," this really stopped the second, and the second organized the language and said, "The level of football in our country is okay, right?" But so far, there is no professional league in our country, and major football is not the number one sport in our country. I only started playing football when I arrived in the UK. ”

Phillips' eyes widened like bull's eyes, and he looked at II in amazement, as if he had seen an alien. Then he was incoherent and asked in amazement: "Isn't your national football the first sport?" So what was your first sport? Ping pong? There is no professional league in your country? You didn't start training football until you arrived in the UK? You are currently studying at Oxford Foundation Year, which means you haven't been in the UK for more than half a year? ”

"Yes."

"Wow, you're such a football genius, I earned it today!"

The second was embarrassed to say that he had only been practicing for three months, but the second still sincerely flattered: "You are also a football genius." You see you're a full-back, and in this game, you scored two goals, and we didn't be able to defend you with so many people. But I think you're more promising as a striker than a defender! ”

"I'm not really a football talent, I wasn't favored by the coach at the youth school, I didn't get a club signing, so I wandered to Podick Town to play in the amateur league." As he spoke, Phillips was a little lost.

"No, that's your football coach who has no eyes, you're really a football genius, especially I see you are very good up front, I haven't really seen a player compare to you until now. I'm sure you're going to be a great star in the future. ”

What the second said was both true and not false, but it was not entirely true. If you know which teams the two are competing against, how many players are there that stand out? England's huge scouting system, as long as you have a football future, is generally very difficult to bury. However, Phillips's figure is really not exciting, and it is estimated that there will definitely be professional clubs looking for him after a few more years of training. But the second really thinks that Kevin. Phillips is a great player.

"Really, thank you, Qin. However, if you have a super body and speed, and if you practice your skills, you will definitely become a professional player. You also scored two goals today, but your team is not as strong as us, so you won! Phillips began to rejoice again.

"Well, well, I also have the idea of becoming a professional footballer, and I'm looking forward to competing with you on the professional court."

"Okay, as long as we work hard, there will definitely be such a day, and then we can fight side by side."

The two exchanged fists again, parted, and returned to the locker room with each other's jerseys.

II returned to the locker room, already the last man, hurriedly took a shower, and prepared to take the bus back to Oxford with everyone.

Mr. Baker was already encouraging everyone in the dressing room, saying that everyone played well in this game and that the score was not important. Moreover, the score of 2:2 was still unexpected, and no loss is a victory. The process and results of the game proved that the players worked hard and hard in football training during the summer vacation, and the results of football training were fruitful and worthy of celebration.

However, this group of student players is also adults, and it is not a matter of reversing their mood in a few sentences, which can erase the strong reluctance and unwillingness in their hearts.

It has been more than 50 days since the formation of the Oxford Holiday Street Vido Fight Team, and everyone has changed from unfamiliar to teammates, flying together on the field, cheering and glory together.

In the end, the palace closing competition did not have a satisfactory ending, and everyone was not in the mood to play in London for a night as originally planned.
