When Li Qingqing got out of the taxi and took the suitcase out of the trunk, the taxi slowly drove away, and she stood alone at the gate of the community where she rented a house.

At half past seven in the evening, the streets outside the neighborhood are lively.

There are cars parked on both sides of the road, and only two lanes are left in the middle for two-way vehicles, so there are still people who park their cars on the motorway and go down to get couriers and buy things, causing traffic congestion.

Although honking is forbidden in the city, there are still some drivers who honk their horns when congestion occurs.

At the corner of the street, there is a small square, where the aunts who dance the square dance and the people who teach the children to roller skate are divided evenly, and the sound of music and the shouts of the roller skating instructors are intertwined, and some of them are indistinguishable from each other.

There are a couple of snack bars across the street that are doing good business, tables are stretched out onto the sidewalk, the smell of barbecue and skewers wafts across the street, and people sitting around the tables can be heard punching and drinking.

Li Qingqing glanced at this familiar scene, then took a deep breath of the air mixed with the aroma of various delicacies, pulled up the box and walked into the gate of the community.

Two children passed her on balance bikes, followed by an elderly man who followed at a trembling pace: "Slow down, slow down, don't hit people......"

For Li Qingqing, who has just finished the national team training camp and also played in the warm-up match of the national team, this is the life she is familiar with.

And those bright flashing lights and noisy football stadiums are like a wonderful dream.

In the past week or so, she has become the most popular person in Chinese football, and was selected for the national team training camp at the age of less than 17. Of course, if you are only selected for the training camp, it doesn't mean anything, because if you can't represent the national team, you just train with the team, you still can't be considered an "international player".

The media often exaggerates when promoting, but in fact, the difference between them is still very big, and it also deceives those who don't understand the ball.

The media needs to create a gimmick, and they can't wait for Li Qingqing to report on it after the game.

Fortunately, in the end, Li Qingqing still got the opportunity to play in the warm-up match of the national team, and after officially representing the national team, her title of "the youngest women's football international in history" was also implemented.

And there is more attention from the media.

Despite only playing 10 minutes and not scoring, she was surrounded by reporters after the game.

Facing the camera and the microphone, she always kept smiling and answered every question carefully, which made her a little tired.

It wasn't until she returned home, surrounded by the fireworks from the world, that she felt relieved.

She took out her mobile phone, and there were some new friend applications in the WeChat address book, most of them were reporters, and she added them to their corresponding groups one by one.

Of all the requests to add her friend's name, she still didn't see the name she'd always wanted to see.

What are you doing, this bastard!

This time she went to the national team for training, although she only played ten minutes in the warm-up game, but both the leader and the head coach of the national team still affirmed her level, so she will follow the national team to the United States to train during the Spring Festival next year, and there is no way to go back to Dongchuan to celebrate the New Year with her father.

Otherwise, she would have gone to Hulai to find out.

Ask him if he has forgotten the secret base, the football marked with the mark that belongs to him only in the world.

By the way, this year's Anton Cup should be in the semi-finals, right?

The opponent of Dongchuan Middle School in the semifinals is Jiaxiang High School.

I hope my dad can lead the team to participate in the national competition this year!

Wang Guangwei's mother was cleaning up the dining table at home and putting the uneaten leftovers in the refrigerator when she heard the sound of unlocking at the gate.

As soon as she turned around, she saw her son walk in with a sports bag on his back.

"Huh?" She was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Not selected for the first team competition?" ”

As Wang Guangwei's mother, even if she didn't know much about football before, she has figured out the pattern from the number of times her son came home in the past year - as long as he goes home the night before the game, it means that he will definitely not be able to play the next day's game.

Because if you want to play the next day, if you play away, you will definitely have to go away with the team, and you won't go home at night.

If it is at home, the team will also arrange for the team to live in the dormitory of the training base, and the players will not be allowed to go home to facilitate pre-match management.

So as long as Wang Guangwei didn't go home before the game, it at least means that he was selected for the squad, although he may not be able to participate in the competition, but it is better than going home directly, and it can make people think more.

Wang Guangwei nodded: "Well, it's not in the list." ”

"What is your coach up to?" Hearing her son say this, Wang Guangwei's mother complained, "This season is obviously hopeless, and there is no danger of relegation, there are only two rounds left in the league, why don't young people have the opportunity to go up and exercise in this kind of competition?" ”

Wang Guangwei's father, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, heard the movement outside, turned off the water and came out to look, only to find that it was his son who came back, and as an old fan, he understood what the situation was now. He coaxed his wife into the kitchen before he walked up to his son and asked, "Have you eaten?" Do you want your mom to serve you a bowl of noodles? ”

"I've eaten it, Dad. I came back after dinner at the training base. ”

"Well, if you don't make the list, you won't be selected. Anyway, you're still young, and you have a chance. The point is not to get hurt, and it is more important than anything else that you don't get hurt at this time. The father comforted his son, "It's okay not to play, and have a good rest for two days on the weekend." ”

"Dad, I'm going to watch the game tomorrow."

"Going to the game?" Dad was a little surprised, "Isn't this game an away game?" ”

"It's not a game of shining stars, it's an Anton Cup." When he said this, a smile appeared on Wang Guangwei's face. "The semi-finals between Jiaxiang High School and Dongchuan Middle School, this time we are at home, I want to go and see it."

"Oh, yes, it's time to check it out. Wu Yue, they are all holding back their strength and want to avenge you. ”

Wang Guangwei smiled and shook his head: "I don't need them to avenge me, but I hope they can make it to the national competition." ”

After Wang Guangwei walked back to his bedroom, the father returned to the kitchen.

As soon as he entered, his wife stared at him and lowered her voice with some urgency: "How is it, our son has not been affected by this, right?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." The husband waved his hand, "And I always feel that it is a good thing for Guangwei not to be selected for the first-team squad this time." ”

"A good thing? What good thing can that be? His wife's eyes widened when she heard this, "You've been here for a season, and you've only played a few first-team games?" Count it all over with one hand! Seeing that this season's superposition is out of play, can't you let the young players exercise? What did Shining Star say when he recruited our family Guangwei? Keep saying that you attach importance to local players, and you keep saying that you pay attention to youth talents...... Oh, that's it? I really think Guangwei has nowhere to ask for it? ”

"Okay...... the husband frowned and waited for his wife to finish before he said, "I just said that this time, if I am really chosen, I am afraid that Guangwei will be absent-minded." ”

The wife looked at her husband suspiciously: "What? What's on his mind? ”

"Tomorrow is the semi-final of the Anton Cup, and it happened to collide with the first team."

"Anton Cup? What else does Anton Cup have to do with Guangwei now? ”

"Tomorrow's semi-finals are a match between Jiaxiang High School and Dongchuan Middle School."

The wife's mouth was open and she wanted to contradict her husband, but when she heard this, she closed it again.

She knew too well what this rival meant to her son.

It can be said that it has changed the trajectory of his son's life - if it weren't for the defeat last year, his son would now be in the team of a Chinese Super League professional football club, and maybe he will play in the Chinese Super League. How can he be reduced to a fringe player in the first team in the Chinese League?

"Heh, that Dongchuan Middle School has reached the semifinals?" She opened her mouth again, her tone tinged with sarcasm and dissatisfaction.

"How can you say that they are also the quarterfinals of the last national competition, isn't it normal to reach the semifinals?"

"Huh, quarterfinals? If you change to Jiaxiang High School, you will start in the top four, and you may be the champion! The wife snorted coldly.

In the football field of Nanshan University in Lingnan City, although it is 8 o'clock in the evening, the field is still divided into areas of different sizes, and dozens of people are playing in their respective areas.

The floodlights around the stadium are not all on, but even if they are only half open, they are enough to light up the football field, so that the college students who play here can see the football under their feet and the goal on the opposite side, so that they can continue to play even when it is completely dark.

"Pass the ball!"

"This way! Give me! ”

"Mine!"

"Leak!!"

"Beautiful!"

"Fuck me!"

Everyone's shouts echoed across the pitch with the thud of a football kick.

On the sidelines, there were a few people sitting, some of them taking off their sneakers and putting them aside, stepping barefoot on artificial turf, watching the game on the field, while chatting casually.

"Eh, have you heard? It is said that our school has been selected as one of the venues for next year's National High School Soccer Championship! ”

"What? Won't we be able to play here? In preparation for the game, this place will definitely be closed......"

"You think too much, it's the natural grass court in the East Side that has been chosen. We don't affect it here. ”

"Oh, scare me......" the speaker breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, what are you still playing when the national competition comes? Aren't you going to watch the game? It's a national competition! I didn't participate in it when I was in high school, and our school was sparse...... I don't know what it's like to compete in a national competition......"

"Didn't Da Chu participate in the national competition? Isn't that the end of asking him? ”

As he spoke, several people turned their heads to look at Chu Yifan, who was sitting next to them: "Da Chu Da Chu, what does it feel like to be in the top eight of the national competition?" ”

"That's it...... It's okay. Chu Yifan said lightly.

"Die! It's forbidden to pretend here! Everyone gave him a middle finger up.

Chu Yifan laughed.

"Eh, Da Chu, do you say that your alma mater can still participate in the national competition next year? Didn't you say that Luo Kai, who was particularly powerful, went to play professional football, and you graduated again, is there anything else you can play? ”

Chu Yifan thought of Yan Yan and Hu Lai, that kid should have grown and improved a lot under the devil's training of the coach, right? After all, seven goals have been scored in five rounds of the Anton Cup so far. Although it is not as good as the original number of goals scored by Luo Kai, considering his past experience, this is already a very good performance.

Speaking of which, tomorrow is the semi-finals of this Anton Cup, and the opponent happens to be Jiaxiang High School.

Jiaxiang High School must be holding back enough energy to take revenge this time, right?

It's not a good game......

"It should be fine." Chu Yifan said.

"I'm not sure!"

"Heh, I'll take you to see the real talent of our team." Chu Yifan said.

"Isn't the genius that Luo Kai?"

"That's right, Luo Kai is gone, how can there be any genius?"

"Hehe, you'll know then." Chu Yifan didn't bother to talk to them so much, anyway, when he saw it, he guaranteed that they would be surprised.

At that moment, the ball was kicked into the goal in front of them, making a "whoosh" sound.

"Let's go, it's time for us to play!" Chu Yifan got up and patted the rubber particles on his buttocks, and took the lead in stepping into the court.
