When Hu Lai walked into the locker room under the rostrum, he saw Mao Xiao give him a thumbs up and say to him, "Come on, Hu Lai." ”

And Meng Xi, who was standing next to Mao Xiao, looked at him differently than before.

It wasn't just these two men, Hulay could feel the mood in the dressing room change. In the past, except for the adventure and Meng Xihui in the locker room, everyone else basically treated him as air. And now, it is clear that he has become the center of everyone's attention, and some people's eyes are even firmly nailed to themselves.

It's been a weekend since the last training session, and on Tuesday of the new week, the football team regrouped to start training.

And this day is also the first day that the coach said that he would start special training for Hulai.

Everyone didn't know what the special training would be, and even Captain Chu Yifan and Vice Captain Yan Yan, who were close to the coach, didn't know.

They all discussed it privately, but regardless of the process of discussion, the final conclusion was very unanimous - this time Hulai may be more than lucky.

Although the head coach didn't say that he would expel Hu Lai from the team directly, but after a year of basic training, I am afraid that Hu Lai himself will not be able to stand it and voluntarily quit the team.

Or rather, this is the real purpose of the manager, he doesn't be a villain, he just forces Hulai to give up himself......

Of course, the premise of all this is that Hulaitong is not a special training - but there is almost no suspense, Hulai is 100% unable to pass the special training arrangement of the head coach.

※※※

As soon as Li Qingqing got out of school, he carried his schoolbag and Song Jiajia to the stands outside the football field, relying on Song Jiajia's size advantage and everyone's prejudice and discrimination against the "greasy fat man", they easily occupied an excellent position, and they didn't have to rub shoulders with the people around them like other places, and their bodies were next to their bodies - there were a lot of people who came to watch the training today.

"Why are there so many people?" Li Qingqing asked.

"It's said that they all came to see Hulai's jokes." After Song Jiajia looked around, she pouted and said, with disdain in her tone.

"Look at Hulai jokes?"

"Bad things spread thousands of miles, and what happened last Thursday afternoon spread to everyone in the school soon. Everyone wants to see how the worst guy on the varsity team can face the wrath of the devil coach. Song Jiajia sighed, and there was a bit of the vicissitudes of time in her tone. Alas, I remembered that Hulai had asked me how I was going to be the school's man of the hour, and now he was a man of the hour......"

Li Qingqing was speechless.

When she returned that night, she asked her father very vaguely how he was going to train Hulai, but he told her to think about it.

She didn't dare to show that she cared too much about Hulai in front of her father, because the whole team, she had never cared so much about the others.

So she didn't question her father after she went back because of her father's attitude, but just hoped to inquire about her father's special training, and then tell Hu Lai in advance, or help Hu Lai think of a way.

But I didn't expect any valid information to be found.

Because of this, to this day, she has not been able to help Hulai.

I don't know if it's because Dad was dissatisfied with the performance of the opponent's team in the third round of qualifiers 2-1 away, so he was so irritable.

In that game, Dongchuan Middle School really didn't play well, maybe after beating the opponent 5:0 in the first game and 3:0 in the second game, everyone was a little proud and underestimated the enemy, which led to a bitter battle in the third round of qualifiers.

However, last weekend, the team won 2:0 away against Luochuan High School, and the whole team performed well, hoping that this will make Dad feel better.

Dad is in a good mood, maybe he will let Hu Lai go......

※※※

In the previous training, the only part of Hulai that he was able to train with the team was the warm-up before training, after which he had to go to his own basic training alone.

Juggling training and dribbling training, he can complete it alone, and shooting training does not need a goalkeeper, just kick the football into the goal, but it is a little more troublesome from passing and receiving training. At first, he arranged for Yan Yan to cooperate with him, and then simply let him practice passing and receiving the ball against the wall by himself, and only when the training of the large army was in between, Li Ziqiang would personally "guide" Hu Lai.

But today, in full view of everyone, Hu Lai, who had finished his warm-up training, was left behind by Li Ziqiang.

"I said last week that I would give you a chance, and I did what I said." Li Ziqiang, who was standing in front of Hu Lai, said.

Hulai no longer begged for mercy, because it was useless to beg for mercy, and he had a task to complete.

In fact, he doesn't care much about the reward of this task, what he cares about is that he completes this task, which is equivalent to indirectly getting the opportunity to appear, so the reward of another task can be obtained.

Although the effect of only ten training sessions has been improved, it is still better than none at all.

"You put 'striker' in the team, right? Then I'll ask you according to the striker standard. I know you have some talent, and I know your shortcomings, so rest assured I won't set up training programs that you can't complete to make things difficult for you. You think I'm going to take this opportunity to get rid of you? You're underestimating me. Li Ziqiang said coldly.

"I don't think of you like that, Coach. Even if I don't pass your test, I will willingly do a year of basic training. I'm not hard-mouthed, that's what I really think. This time, Hulai did not lower his head in front of the coach anymore, but raised his head to look at the manager and said his thoughts bluntly.

The others were secretly surprised to see this, because Hulai would not have spoken to the manager like this before. Not even to mention Hulai, there are very few people in the team who dare to be so blunt and speak to the manager with an almost equal attitude. Luo Kai may be one, but people have this capital.

What about Hulai? How could he possibly have this capital?

But that's what he did, and he was very calm and calm with the manager.

Now that I think about it, this change must have happened after he sprayed his saliva in the manager's face that day, right?

Li Ziqiang didn't expect Hu Lai to talk to him with such an attitude, he snorted coldly: "Whether it's a hard mouth or not, you'll know when the time comes." ”

Then he rallied his team: "Next we will work on set-pieces. Note that this training can only be done in the penalty area, and when the football is out of the penalty area, the training session will be over. ”

Then he handed the yellow training vest to Hu Lai, and said to Chu Yifan: "You will be responsible for serving the set-piece in a while." ”

Chu Yifan nodded: "Okay, coach." ”

Li Ziqiang named the names of three more players: "Meng Xi, Yan Yan, Mao Xiao." The three of you are in the defensive group and are in charge of the defense. ”

Among the three people he spotted included a goalkeeper and two defenders.

All of them are the starting mainstays of Dongchuan Middle School.

"The three of you have only one task, which is to stop him from scoring."

Hearing the head coach say this, everyone, including Luo Kai, was surprised.

Even if you put aside the goalkeeper Meng Xi, it is two people to defend against one person......

Let the school's two main central defenders defend a newcomer who is the bottom of the team, and it is also the team's main goalkeeper who is responsible for guarding the goal, and so far only one goal has been conceded in three qualifying games.

Li Ziqiang ignored the surprise and confusion of the players, turned to Hu Lai who was standing beside him and said: "And your task is very simple, score a goal without fouling - as long as you can score a goal, you will pass the special training." Today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, as long as you can score a goal in these three days of training, the special training will be over, and then you and I will give you the opportunity to play. ”

Wow!

There was a commotion in the team, but it quickly disappeared again.

Everyone just looked at Hulai with a mixture of surprise and sympathy.

"Any comments?" Li Ziqiang asked Hu Lai.

Hulai asked, "Will you listen to my opinion, coach?" ”

Li Ziqiang shook his head: "No." ”

"Oh, then I'm okay with that." Hulai said.

"Okay, let's train like this. All in place! Li Ziqiang blew a whistle.

※※※

Li Qingqing and Song Jiajia, who were standing in the stands, couldn't hear the sound of the goal clearly, and they still didn't know the specific arrangements for the special training.

However, when Li Qingqing saw the position of the players on the field, she was taken aback.

In front of the goal, in addition to the goalkeeper, there were two players in red vests, standing in front of Hulai.

Other than that, there was no one else in the box, no more defenders, but no other attacking players either.

This means that Hulai will have to face two of the school's main central defenders and one main goalkeeper in this special training session.

This...... Dad is too strict, right?

This kind of thing is one to two, and if Luo Kailai is replaced, it may be possible.

But now this is Hulai, what level is Hulai, can he still not know?

It seems that Dad is determined to let Hu Lai do basic training for a year......

Although Li Qingqing agrees that the current Hu Lai needs more basic training, he can train with peace of mind by attacking Hu Lai in public...... Is this a bit too drastic?

Song Jiajia beside him couldn't understand it, he asked, "Li Qingqing, what are you doing here?" ”

"It should be to let Hu Lai face the defense of two people alone...... Li Qingqing explained.

"One against two? Is Hulai so powerful? ”

Li Qingqing shook his head.

Obviously, he's not that good.

The onlookers also understood what Li Ziqiang was going to do, and similar discussions sounded on the sidelines, buzzing.

Li Zhiqun, who was standing in the crowd, did not participate in the discussion of others, but looked at Hu Lai, who was lonely in the forbidden area, and sneered.

In any case, you can't escape the fate of being a joke!

※※※

"I'm telling you, don't think about putting water in training, and treat training as if it were an official competition. Otherwise, go and do a year of basic training with Hulai, don't think about playing if you don't practice for a year! Before the start of training, Li Ziqiang said.

Hearing his words, Meng Xi shrugged his shoulders at Hu Lai.

As the goalkeeper for this special training, Hulay's performance will be crucial if he wants to score.

It's true that he didn't want to deliberately sell a flaw in training and let go of the water a little so that Hulai could score a goal. He and Hu Lai are not friends, and this is done entirely for the sake of his friend Mao Xiao's support for Hu Lai.

But apparently this little bit of caution has long been seen through by the manager......

Li Ziqiang blew the whistle, and the special training officially began.

After Chu Yifan blew the whistle, he kicked the football in front of the goal, and the whole process was like a set-piece. At a 45-degree angle to the goal, he slid the ball diagonally towards goal.

And Hulai ran diagonally almost at the same time as the whistle sounded.

His reaction was so fast that Mao Xiao and Yan Yan didn't expect it, so Hu Lai took the lead.

Hulai managed to get the ball in front of the two defenders, and instead of trying to keep dribbling or make a few more adjustments, he shot the ball straight towards the goal!

But just as he shot the football towards the goal, a long leg stretched out and blocked the football from the bottom line!

※※※

"Oops, what a pity!" Li Qingqing almost jumped up in the stands.

In her eyes, although Hulai has only done basic training this month, he has made great progress. The articulation between his movements and movements is much faster and smoother than before. This is also the meaning and function of basic training, allowing him to produce muscle memory in repeated training.

For example, when you see the ball, your body can instantly react to how to stop the ball.

When the ball is stopped, it is possible to say what to do next.

If you can't stop the ball well, stop the ball and stop ten meters away, then what's the connection?

Just lose possession, okay?

Another thing that makes Li Qingqing feel that Hu Lai's performance is good is that he did not continue to dribble the ball after receiving the ball, or try any feints to get rid of it, but directly connected to the goal, and the shot can be said to be very decisive.

It's a shooter's intuition.

The only regret is that the central defender Mao Xiao reacted faster, arrived in time, and blocked his shot with his legs.

※※※

Mao Xiao, who blocked Hu Lai's shot, gave Hu Lai a thumbs up: "Good job, Hu Lai, you reacted a little faster than I thought." ”

Hu Lai pouted: "But it's still not as fast as you, you actually just want to take the opportunity to praise yourself, right?" ”

Mao Xiao showed a simple smile: "No, you think too much." ”

Hulai didn't bother with him, he felt hope in the attack just now, and he felt that if the training went on like this, he would still have a chance to score in three days.

But just when Hu Lai was feeling good, he suddenly heard Li Ziqiang's hurried whistle: "Stop, stop!" What are you guys doing?! ”

Then Li Ziqiang walked into the forbidden area menacingly, and came to the three people, he glared at Mao Xiao, and said very unceremoniously: "This is your defense?" Remember what I said earlier, what would anyone do if they released the water? ”

Mao Xiao, who was quite happy just now, panicked, and hurriedly explained: "But coach, I didn't release the water, I blocked his shot......"

"Oh? Is it? Looks like I'm going to praise you again? Li Ziqiang sneered. But don't forget what your performance would have been like if it had been an official competition. You shouldn't even let him catch the ball! You let this rookie striker pick up the ball in front of you at will, and even give him space to shoot with his feet! You call this a good defense?! ”

Li Ziqiang pointed at Hu Lai.

Mao Xiao lowered his head and couldn't say a word in the coach's criticism.

He admits the manager was right, his mentality was completely different from what he was in the game. He's going to be more aggressive in the game, and he didn't even have physical contact with Hulai just now......

"And you, Yan Yan!" After Li Ziqiang finished criticizing Mao Xiao, he pointed the finger at the vice captain. "Two defenders facing an offensive player and one of them just watching? What about co-defense? Where did all the things you usually practice go? Do you watch the whole game in defense like this?! ”

Faced with the head coach's unceremonious accusation in front of many people, Yan Yan blushed: "I'm sorry, coach ......"

"What did I say before? Approach training with the mentality of an official competition! Remember, this isn't training, it's an official competition! What you did in the official competition, give me how to do it now! ”

Then he turned and walked out of the penalty area and blew the whistle again: "Come again!" ”

This time, Hu Lai was pushed by Yan Yan as soon as he received the ball, and he lost his balance, and then the ball was intercepted by Mao Xiao, and the attack ended.

Even people who don't know how to play can see that Mao Xiao and Yan Yan are obviously much more serious than last time.

But the coach was still not satisfied, and the rapid whistle interrupted Chu Yifan's serve again.

Li Ziqiang walked up, shook his head at the two defenders, and said, "I'll show you what physical confrontation is." ”

After speaking, he beckoned to Chu Yifan: "Pass!" ”

Chu Yifan passed the football out, and Hu Lai ran to the landing point of the football.

At the same time, Li Ziqiang, who was stuck on the inside, also moved, and he ran to the football landing point like Hu Lai.

The football was in the air, Hu Lai jumped up and wanted to fight for the top, Li Ziqiang also jumped up, towards the landing point of the football, and also jumped towards Hu Lai.

Then there was a muffled bang.

Li Ziqiang slammed into Hu Lai's ribs, knocking him out flat......

Hulai felt like he had been hit by a speeding car, and his internal organs were displaced. By the time he could react, he had fallen to the ground five meters away.

He looked at the coach blankly, and the coach who landed on the ground was facing away from him and was saying to Mao Xiao and Yan Yan: "This is the physical confrontation!" Let me do it according to this standard! If you can't do it, you can release the water! ”

Then he turned around, looked at Hu Lai, who was still sitting on the ground, and said condescendingly and coldly: "You want to play?" I'm telling you, boy, that's how you're going to be treated on the field. ”

After saying this, he turned around and walked out of the forbidden area and said to everyone: "Come again!" ”

Behind him, Hulai slowly rose from the ground.
