Wednesday afternoon's school training camp was the last training camp before the national competition. After the early end of the training session, Zhang Guangda gathered everyone together and announced a news he had just received.

"The group list for this tournament has been confirmed, and the seeded team in our group is Jinhai No. 5 Middle School."

As soon as they heard the news, several veteran players in the team couldn't help but be in an uproar: "Damn! Why is it Jinhai No. 5 Middle School again? "It's not going to be the first round again, is it?"

Last year, this group of players went to participate in the national competition, and they met Jinhai No. 5 Middle School in the group draw, and they played with their opponents in the first round, but they were eliminated in the first round.

There are a total of 32 divisional leagues in the national competition, so there are 32 teams in total, and the knockout system is adopted, so in order to avoid the strong teams being eliminated prematurely, eight seeded teams will be listed before the start of the tournament, and then eight group draws will be held.

Each group plays in the same stadium and the draw for the quarter-finals is rescheduled when the winners are determined.

The selection of seeded teams is based on the results of previous years, and the teams with good historical records can be treated as seeded teams to avoid playing against other strong teams too early.

Guanglin Middle School's best result in the history of the national competition is the top 16, so there is no seeded team qualification, so every year it will encounter a seeded team with the strength of the top eight, and every year it will not be able to break through the curse of being eliminated in the group stage.

This year's grouping rules were no exception, and they also met their old rivals, Jinhai No. 5 Middle School. Last year, they played with Jinhai No. 5 Middle School in the first round, were kicked 0:3, lost completely, and went to Yanjing for two days before returning home.

Zhang Guangda said with a straight face: "What's wrong with Jinhai No. 5 Middle School?" Do you think that the seeded teams of the other groups are weaker than Jinhai No. 5 Middle School? At least we have fought in Jinhai No. 5 Middle School, and we know it in our hearts, what's wrong? ”

When he roared, everyone was immediately silent, and then they heard him say: "But our opponent in the first round is not them." It's another team, Zhenglin Middle School in Tien Nam Province, which was the top 16 team last year. When you go back tonight, you will take a look at the two competitions of Zhenglin Middle School last year, analyze their characteristics, do you hear? ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

I heard that the first round was not a seeded team, and many people were glad that at least they would have a much better chance of winning the first round. Wang Bai asked: "Coach, which is the fourth team?" ”

Without waiting for Coach Zhang to answer, Lu Guanghe interjected: "It doesn't matter who the other team is. Anyway, we can't touch it, if we win Zhenglin, the next step will definitely be to hit Jinhai No. 5 Middle School. ”

He feels that Jinhai No. 5 Middle School is strong and seeded, and has already seen it as an opponent in the second round.

Zhang Guangda made a note of the other team in the group and replied: "It is Yangde Middle School in Bashu Province that participates in the national competition for the first time. ”

Wang Bai was shocked when he heard this: "Isn't that a dark horse?" "The overall football level of Bashu Province is still relatively high in China, and many professional players are born there, so it is not easy to qualify from this region and advance to the national competition.

Lu Guanghe said disapprenously: "The teams in Bashu Province change almost every year. It's very competitive, but that's what it takes to get into the national competition. What's more, if you participate in the competition for the first time, you will suffer a lot if you have no experience, and it should be no problem for Jinhai No. 5 Middle School to win them. ”

"Don't underestimate Yangde Middle School too much. As the saying goes, there are no weak teams in the national competition. But we don't have to think about the opponent in the second round, let's prepare for the first round seriously," Zhang Guangda interrupted the topic and said. "Zhenglin Middle School is also a frequent visitor to the national competition, with rich experience and mature playing style. It's not easy to deal with, so don't underestimate the enemy. ”

Lei Hu smiled for a while: "Coach, don't worry, let's get you a national championship back this year!" "He is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, a freshman in high school, and has never been on the national competition, so his heart is very high.

Everyone laughed for a while, just thinking that he was playing a treasure. Zhang Guangda couldn't help but laugh and said, "You fool dare to say such things......"

Although he took this sentence as a joke on the surface, he was thinking in his heart: give me another year, and in just one year, I can build a championship team.

The current football team of Guanglin Middle School is basically composed of the first and second years of high school, which is very different from the over-reliance on senior players in previous years.

The senior players who will leave next year are a goalkeeper, a centre-back, a left-back, and all three positions already have enough substitutes to fill that position.

Zhang Guangda believes that with the existence of Wang Bai, as long as the team's playing style with it as the tactical core is becoming more and more mature, the football team of Guanglin Middle School will be the strongest school team in the history next year, and it will definitely have the strength to attack the throne of the national champion!

However, this year, Wang Bai joined the team too late, the team's playing style is not mature, and he himself lacks experience in national competitions, so Zhang Guangda did not set too high expectations.

"At seven o'clock next Monday morning, gather at the school gate and take the bus to the train station with the basketball team. Don't be late, do you understand? ”

This year, the basketball team of Guanglin Middle School maintained its previous record, and also qualified from the Haidong Division and will participate in the national competition, so the two teams are both participating again.

The school holidays are going to be on Friday, and the long summer vacation is about to begin, but as members of the school team, there is no chance to relax, because they are about to participate in a big event, and they have been fighting for it for a whole year.

After the team was disbanded, on the way back to the classroom from the training ground, Lu Guanghe asked: "Wang Bai, how many rounds do you think we can play this year?" ”

"Gotta get to the quarterfinals." Wang Bai said categorically that this was his minimum goal, not only because it was related to the system task, but also because of his original intention of joining the school team.

What's the point of his joining if it doesn't bring an improvement to the varsity team's grades?

Therefore, reaching the quarterfinals and breaking through the best results in history is the minimum requirement for himself and the football team.

Lu Guanghe smiled, then stretched out his palm and said, "Okay!" I'll make a bet with you, if the team can reach the quarterfinals this year, I'll let Hyun be the captain next year! ”

The current captain of the team is the goalkeeper Ge Zhen in the third year of high school, and Lu Guanghe is the vice captain and the next captain recognized by everyone before.

But with the emergence of Wang Bai, the absolute core, he can feel that the cohesion of the team has gradually moved towards Wang Bai, and everyone can only work hard together under his leadership.

In this regard, Lu Guanghe was not unconvinced. Because Wang Bai does have this strength.

He wanted to find an opportunity to abdicate and make way for Xian, but he didn't open his mouth because of his face, so today he just took advantage of this topic to make a bet and give himself a step down.

Wang Bai understood what he was thinking, and Lu Guanghe's approach undoubtedly had great trust in him, because he knew that Lu Guanghe had deep feelings for this team, and he also had a strong sense of responsibility.

His heart was hot, and he didn't shirk it, high-fived him happily, and joked: "A word is a deal!" Don't be a fool of yourself! ”

"Hahaha. As long as I can make it to the quarterfinals, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I repay the debt! ”

In the Guanglin District Central Hospital, Liu Yan's cousin-in-law He Feng, who is Wang Bai's current intelligence officer, is undergoing prenatal checkups. Now she is five months pregnant, the bulge in her lower abdomen is becoming more and more obvious, and she walks carefully.

After the examination, He Feng sat in the hospital for a while. After looking at the time, he went to a doctor's office, where he met his superior, Fang Tianlin.

"Normally, this kind of meeting is not arranged. You should know the rules," Fang Tianlin was looking at an X-ray and asked lightly, "You are in such a hurry to ask to see me." What is it for? ”

"I would like to introduce someone to join the back office team and gradually take over my job," He Feng said bluntly. "This person is my husband's cousin, Liu Yan, who is currently living in my house. She is the same age as Wang Bai, and they are classmates, so they are very suitable to be partners, and if you agree, I can train her during the summer vacation. ”

The ordinary work of the internal service team is not as dangerous as that of a field worker like Wang Bai, and all that is required is some basic communication skills, password recognition and intelligence gathering capabilities.

He Feng herself is an elite internal service officer, and because she was pregnant, she was arranged by Fang Tianlin to work as an intelligence officer for Wang Bai, a non-editorial staff, but she will definitely be transferred from this position in the future.

On the one hand, for the sake of the future, on the other hand, because her body is getting heavier and heavier, her concentration has begun to decline, and she gradually has a feeling of powerlessness, for fear that when she is about to give birth, if Wang Bai needs her to contribute at work, there will be a delay at that time.

Therefore, she wants to use the summer vacation to train someone to come out, and let her take her place at the right time, and become Wang Bai's long-term partner in the future.

"Are you sure Liu Yan is up to the job?" Fang Tianlin frowned slightly and said, "You should know what the rules of this work are, there will always be only a working relationship between partners, and no personal feelings can be mixed with it." ”

This is a kind of protection for internal and external personnel, and at some point, especially when working abroad, the problem of revealing one's identity will arise at any time, and in order to take into account the overall situation, those who can protect themselves from danger must do their best to protect themselves. But if there is a personal relationship between the partners, it is likely that they will be wiped out in order to save their partners.

He Feng smiled slightly: "Wang Bai's girlfriend is Liu Yan's best friend, it is impossible for her to have that kind of thought about her best friend's boyfriend." ”

She was analyzing this problem from the perspective of ordinary people, but she also slightly agreed with Fang Tianlin, he pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "If you can ensure this matter, then Liu Yan is indeed a good alternative, you can give it a try." I approve this matter, you can train her, and if she is really qualified for the job, then tell her the identity of Wang Bai. ”

As the person in charge of the Haidong Station of the Fourth Operations Department directly under the Ministry of National Defense, Fang Tianlin has certain personnel authority in the expansion of the station's internal and non-staff personnel. This is different from his recommendation of Wang Bai to join the organization, because Wang Bai joined as a reserve agent, and he is also a non-editor, but the development prospects are different, and the review system is also different.

Therefore, when Wang Bai joins the company, he must not only have a guarantor, but also arrange an assessment. But He Feng recommended Liu Yan to join, as long as he got his approval. (To be continued......)
