Chapter 40: If only I could be gentle

Hu Lixin finished breakfast, put the bowl on the table, got up and walked to the door: "I'm going to work." ”

"Okay, go slowly. Be careful on the road. Wife Xie Lan poked her head out of the kitchen to say goodbye to her husband.

Hulai was drinking porridge when he suddenly felt eyes on him, so he looked up, and sure enough, he saw his father standing in the doorway looking at him.

"Uh, goodbye Dad......" Hu Lai said quickly.

"Study hard, don't mess around." Hu Lixin said with a straight face.

"Don't worry, Dad. I promise to finish all my homework in the morning! Hulai said with a smile on his face.

Hu Lixin didn't speak again, but nodded, and then went out of the house. It takes half an hour to go to work in the community to ride an electric car.

If nothing else, he will work there until half past six in the evening, where he will have dinner before riding back.

Hulay calculated in his mind that the kick-off time of the game was 3 p.m., and the 80 minutes of play plus the 15 minutes of half-time and injury time would probably be about 100 minutes.

It was supposed to be around 4:45 after the game, and it was completely too late for him to rush home from school at that time.

So I don't have to worry about my dad finding out that he joined the varsity team and went to the competition.

The only one who can't hide it is his mother.

But Hulai didn't want to hide it from his mother.

With what he knew about his mother, there was a good chance that his mother would agree to him going to school to participate in the competition. Provided, of course, that his own performance is good.

So what he just said to his father was not nonsense, he really planned to study seriously in the morning and finish all the homework that should be done.

In this way, the rest of the time is arranged by yourself, and your mother will not have any opinions on what she wants to play.

It's just that he's going to a football game now, and if it's a normal day, he's probably just going out to play.

So after eating, Hu Lai helped his mother clean up the table, and then said to his mother, "Mom, that, I don't eat at home at noon......"

Mom's eyes widened: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Didn't I join the football team? There's a game in the afternoon, I'm going to ...... Don't worry, Mom, I'll make sure I do all my homework in the morning! Seeing that his mother had a tendency to go violent, Hu Lai explained in a loud voice that he didn't dare to stop at all, for fear of giving his mother a chance to interject. Guarantee the completion of quality and quantity! In this way, I can arrange the afternoon freely, and I will go to the school to participate in the competition. Definitely coming back before dinner. Don't worry, Mom. It's better to play football than to go out to an internet café to play games, right? It's also a workout! ”

When the mother did want to interject several times, but every time she opened her mouth, she found that there was no chance to interject at all, so she could only let Hu Lai finish the words in one breath. Then she glared at her son and asked, "What does this have to do with you not eating at home at noon?" ”

"Our coach asked the team to go to the school cafeteria and eat together." Hulai wasn't lying.

Considering that there is a game in the afternoon, in order to better grasp the situation of the team and avoid the players from eating nonsense, which will lead to bad stomach and affect the state of the game, Li Ziqiang asked that the meal before the game must be eaten centrally.

Even the players who don't play have to come together, it's all about building team cohesion.

Xie Lan looked at his son, shook his head and sighed: "If only you were so serious about football......

Hu Lai hurriedly defended: "I study very seriously! Bad grades are because I can't do it in my head! ”

"You don't let you go if you talk nonsense again!" Xie Lan raised his hand.

Hu Lai hurriedly ran into his bedroom with a cigarette: "I'm going to do my homework!" Thank you Mom! Mom is the best! ”

Looking at his son's back, Xie Lan's raised hand slowly put it down, and then laughed helplessly.

Li Qingqing was wearing pajamas and had messy hair, and when he walked downstairs, he saw his father sitting in the living room, eating breakfast while holding his tactical notebook.

"Up?" Li Ziqiang, who heard the movement, didn't raise his head and said.

"Hmm......" Li Qingqing replied a little confused.

"Wash first, the buns are in the pot."

"Oh......"

Li Qingqing went to the toilet, combed her hair with a comb in front of the mirror, then put her hands behind her head to pull her hair up, and then smoothed off the rubber band wrapped around her wrist to tie her hair tightly.

Then she shook her head, and the ponytail flicked around the back of her head, not loose.

She smiled at herself in the mirror with satisfaction.

After washing, Li Qingqing returned to the living room and found that his father was holding a half-bitten bun in his hand and was still reading tactical notes.

"Dad." She screamed.

"Huh?"

"Oil. The oil ...... of the bun"

Only then did Li Ziqiang react and found that the bun oil in his hand was dripping down his wrist.

"Oh oh......" Li Ziqiang hurriedly put down his notebook and went to clean up.

"Is fifty strong?" Li Qingqing stretched out his long legs, straddled the chair in front of the dining table, and asked very strangely.

"It's not strong, but in the first game, you have to pay attention to it. And we have too little time to prepare. Li Ziqiang wiped the oil off his hands with a napkin.

"Doesn't it mean that Dongchuan Middle School is actually quite strong, in the entire Andong Province, that is, second only to Jiaxiang?"

"That being said, the school, which is second only to Jiaxiang, has also had two experiences in the past five years that it has not even reached the semi-finals of the Andong Cup." Li Ziqiang explained.

Li Qingqing glanced at his father's tactical notes.

443 formation, Luo Kai was not placed in the center of the striker, but played as a left winger.

Every time she went to see the school team for training in the past two weeks, Li Qingqing was no stranger to her father's arrangement.

Don't look at the center is not Luo Kai, but the nominal center is not a scoring point, but only helps Luo Kai attract the opponent's defensive strength and suppress the opponent's defense.

In addition, because Luo Kai himself is more comprehensive, good at both left and right feet, can shoot and score, and can also send passes for teammates, so letting him play the position of winger is also convenient to give full play to his all-round ability.

When it is time to score, he can go straight into the opposition penalty area and act as a scorer for attacking the city. And when there are too many people in the penalty area, he can also pull to the wing, or go to the midfield, to attack in tandem, and send wonderful passes to his teammates.

If he feels that the team's attack is too left-leaning, he can also switch positions with the right winger and go to the right. The location is quite flexible.

Having such a capable and well-rounded player allows the team to be more flexible in their tactics, which is a player that any coach dreams of......

Li Qingqing sighed in his heart that Luo Kai was strong.

But that's all there is to her, she doesn't have any special thoughts about Luo Kai, she's just a classmate.

Hulai fulfilled his promise and finished all his homework in the morning.

Then he said goodbye to his mother, rushed downstairs, and rode his broken bicycle to the school with a clang.

Seeing her son's happy back riding on the bike on the balcony, Xie Lan thought of the way he cowered in front of her husband.

Why is she willing to help her son hide from her husband, maybe she doesn't want to see the cowering son all the time?

She wants her son to be full of vigor and energy, so if she likes football to bring him such a change, then she likes it.

She knew why her husband didn't want his children to be exposed to football, but why not just use it as a hobby at school?

"I'm going to school, the dishes are in the pot, just heat it up when you eat it later." Li Ziqiang stood at the door and said upstairs.

The daughter's head peeked out from the staircase above: "Okay. I went to school in the afternoon to watch the game, dad come on! ”

She stretched out her fist and waved.

Looking at his well-behaved daughter, Li Ziqiang felt a hint of apology in his heart.

Originally, her daughter was doing well in the previous football school, and she has become the main core of the women's football team of the same age.

If it weren't for her own reasons, she could have continued her studies at that football school and finally embarked on the path of professional football.

But now, she can only follow herself as a transfer student in such an ordinary middle school. And this school does not yet have a girls' soccer team......

Since the death of his wife, he and his daughter have been left to rely on each other, and he has long vowed to make his daughter happy.

The main thing is that I have just arrived here, and there is too much work to do. When the work on the team's side is on the right track, I go to find a team for my daughter, so that she can continue to train and maintain her condition in addition to school.

Thinking of this, Li Ziqiang showed a gentle smile to his daughter, and then waved his hand: "I'm leaving." ”

"Well, goodbye Dad."

Li Qingqing stood on the stairs with her hands behind her back, smiling, and watched her father go out.

When facing her, Dad is always so gentle.

Just as she was thinking this, the scene she had seen on the training ground that day appeared in front of her eyes again.

Her gentle father was leaning over and roaring at Hu Lai, roaring with teeth and claws, as if he was going to eat Hu Lai alive.

Even though Li Qingqing has seen his father's strict requirements for those players in training, he still feels that his father is always more fierce when facing Hu Lai.

She knew that her father was strict with Hulai for the sake of Hulai's good, but it would be nice if her father could be a little more gentle with Hulai......

Thinking of this, the smile on Li Qingqing's face dissipated, and he stared at the door that had been closed and pouted.
