Chapter 52: It's on
Li Qingqing and Song Jiajia stood in the stands, and every time she was able to occupy a position with a good view with Song Jiajia's size.
This time they were diagonally above the bench of the Dongchuan Middle School football team, and when she turned her head slightly, she could see Hu Lai sitting on the bench - Dongchuan Middle School does not have the kind of bench with a roof, the so-called bench is actually more than 20 folding chairs side by side, divided into two rows, front and back, which is considered a bench.
The student players who are not on the pitch sit in their seats and watch the game.
It doesn't matter if the weather is good, if it rains, they may have to hold an umbrella alone.
However, in the high school football game, the conditions are a little simple and normal, and there are still chairs to sit on, and in some places, all the substitute players can only sit on the ground, because there are not enough chairs, so they can only give priority to ensuring that the coach has a ......
Now Hulai was sitting in one of the chairs, and the number behind him was very prominent.
Number fourteen.
In the first game, Li Qingqing saw this number and knew why it was worn on Hu Lai.
Generally, if you are not popular in the team, or if you are a marginal person, you will be assigned this number, after all, there is no rule that because the fourteenth is unlucky, there can be no ...... in the team
This number illustrates Hulai's position in the team.
But Hu Lai himself didn't seem to care, Li Qingqing privately asked Hu Lai what he thought of this number, and Hu Lai actually told her that he liked it a lot......
Considering Hu Lai's consistent performance, Li Qingqing didn't think there was anything abnormal about this. This man doesn't seem to care what others think of him.
Now wearing the number 14 jersey, Hulai sat in his chair and watched the game very intently, he leaned forward, his elbows propped up on his thighs, his head turned with the football, and he looked at the ball wherever it was.
Seeing this, Li Qingqing also turned his attention back to the court.
She still remembers that her father said that this traditional football powerhouse has also failed to reach the semi-finals of the Anton Cup twice in the past five years.
And today's game is related to whether the Dongchuan Middle School football team can reach the semifinals.
This is the quarter-final of the pre-Andong Provincial Qualifiers and Andong Cup of the national competition, and Dongchuan Middle School will host Brown North Middle School.
Brown North Middle School is not an unknown person, as a strong football school in Binh An City, Andong Province, it also has a fine football tradition. It is said that this school specializes in collecting football seedlings in Ping'an City, and as long as students with football talents join Brown North Middle School, they will have preferential treatment for extra point admission.
Before the establishment of the national unified middle school football competition, Brown North Middle School was a traditional strong team in the "Andong Cup" in Andong Province, a frequent visitor to the quarterfinals, the semi-finals, and four finals. Of course, it was a long, long time ago that we reached the final......
Since the establishment of the unified national competition, they have also reached the semi-finals twice.
So much is introduced to show that this is a team that should not be underestimated.
It's just that now this traditional powerhouse has fallen behind by two goals in the score......
And both goals are related to Luo Kai, who scored a goal and assisted a goal.
※※※
After receiving a pass from Chu Yifan, Luo Kai scored his second goal of the game, and it was also the third goal of Dongchuan Middle School in this game.
Now the score on the field is 3:0, and Dongchuan Middle School, which is playing at home, is ahead.
After the goal, Luo Kai habitually turned his eyes to the shadow in the stands.
This time, he was somewhat surprised to see the shadow cheering with her arms raised.
Although Luo Kai wanted to win Li Qingqing's cheers after every goal, he had failed to do so once before that.
So this time, when he saw the elated Li Qingqing, he almost didn't dare to believe his eyes.
Then he also showed a bright smile on his face, and waved vigorously to Li Qingqing in the stands.
At this moment, he felt that his tireless goals were worth it.
He finally used his strength to prove that he regained the favor of the goddess!
Sure enough, the football field is still a place where strength speaks, and Mr. Nan Guo, who has no strength, can't deceive people!
※※※
"That's great!" Li Qingqing said to Song Jiajia next to him after cheering. "Then Hulai has a chance to play!"
"Why?" Song Jiajia didn't quite understand it yet, he only knew that the better Luo Kai's performance, the more embarrassed Hu Lai would be.
"Now we are 3-0 ahead, the lead is so big, I ...... Only then can the head coach be confident and bold to let Hulai play! Li Qingqing almost blurted out the title "my dad". 'If we're only one goal ahead, or it's just a draw, it's not going to be easy for Hulay to play. The most important thing at that time is to win the game, not to make good on the promise to get Hulai to play. ”
Song Jiajia suddenly realized: "In other words, Hu Lai wants to play, only if he is sure of victory." ”
"Yes, everything has to be able to reach the semi-finals." Li Qingqing nodded. 'Now that we're three goals ahead, we have a lot of hope of reaching the semi-finals, and in that case, the manager could give Hule a chance to play.'
Song Jiajia: "No wonder you cheered after Luo Kai scored, I just said, Luo Kai scored so many goals before and I didn't see you say anything......"
Li Qingqing grimaced.
She could guess what Luo Kai meant to herself, but she didn't mean anything to Luo Kai, so she deliberately restrained herself and didn't show any emotions in front of Luo Kai's goal, just to not give Luo Kai any illusions.
But just now, she was thinking about Hu Lai, and she still couldn't hold back.
Song Jiajia looked at the elated Luo Kai and felt that Luo Kai was nothing remarkable, and he was far from Hu Lai.
※※※
After Li Ziqiang saw Luo Kai's goal, he lowered his head and raised his wrist to look at his watch, and there were twenty-three minutes left before the end of the game.
Then he glanced back at Hulai, who was sitting diagonally behind him.
The kid was still sitting in his chair, looking at the pitch intently, and judging by his eager expression, it seemed that he couldn't wait to play.
As if sensing that someone was looking at him, he turned his gaze and happened to meet Li Ziqiang's eyes.
Seeing that the head coach was looking at him, Hulai quickly grinned and showed a flattering smile.
is like this, which makes Li Ziqiang really don't like it at all.
Now that I think about it, the way he looked up and roared at him on the court was even more interesting, at least there was no hypocritical flattering smile now, and there was no cunning in his eyebrows and eyes.
But whether he likes it or not, he still has to keep the promises he made in front of the whole team. Otherwise, people's hearts will be scattered, how can he lead the team?
So he beckoned to Hulai.
Seeing that Hu Lai on the seat seemed to be a little incredulous and pointed at himself, coupled with his smile, Li Ziqiang really wanted not to let him play.
But he nodded with a serious expression.
I saw Hu Lai get up from his seat excitedly, and then ran to Li Ziqiang, and asked excitedly: "Coach, am I going to play?!" ”
Li Ziqiang couldn't help but roll his eyes, which was very undignified, and glared at Hu Lai: "What's the matter?" Warm up and go! ”
"Oh oh......" Hulai scratched his head and ran to the warm-up area.
※※※
"It's time to play!" Seeing Hu Lai running to warm up, Li Qingqing became excited.
"But he didn't run on the field......" Song Jiajia didn't understand.
"You have to warm him up before he comes out to avoid getting injured when he comes on the pitch." Li Qingqing explained to Song Jiajia. "When he's done warming up, he'll be back and ready to play."
"I see." Song Jiajia put away the mobile phone in her hand and put it in her trouser pocket.
He used to come to the game every weekend, not because he was interested in football, but because he was coming to help Hulay get his jersey and shoes - before the game started, he would give Hulai the shirt and boots, and when the game was over, he would take Hulai's shirt and shoes home and keep them for him.
As for the game itself, he had no interest, and after helping Li Qingqing occupy a favorable terrain, he took out his mobile phone and started playing his game.
But now, now that Hulai is going to play, he won't play the game.
Although he doesn't understand football and doesn't like football, he is a friend of Hulai, and of course he wants to come and cheer on his friends.
As Li Qingqing said, Hulai quickly ended the warm-up, returned to the sidelines, and stood in front of head coach Li Ziqiang again.
Li Qingqing watched this scene with some nervousness, with her father on one side and her friend on the other.
She was really worried that her father would give Hulai an impossible task, and then use this as an excuse to ban Hulai for a year......
Although her father said that he was strict with Hulai, the girl's instinct always made her think that things might not be so simple......
※※※
Li Ziqiang looked at Hu Lai standing in front of him, different from what his daughter was worried about, he didn't plan to arrange any special tasks for Hu Lai, in fact, he didn't plan to arrange any tasks for Hu Lai at all.
Because even if he wanted to, it wouldn't be.
Hu Lai had never practiced with the team at all - Li Ziqiang didn't expect Hu Lai to pass his devil special training, so he didn't arrange any joint training with the team for Hu Lai, which led to the upcoming game, but Hu Lai only had basic training. He doesn't know the team and the team doesn't know him.
In such a situation, what other tasks can be arranged?
So facing Hu Lai, who was looking forward to it, Li Ziqiang sighed in his heart: "You play...... Play center. ”
Hu Lai nodded vigorously: "Okay, coach, no problem!" Do you need me to involve the opponent's defense? Or run behind them? Coach, I know where the goal is......"
When Li Ziqiang heard Hu Lai's words, his temples couldn't help jumping - what kind of drama did you kid add to himself!
He suppressed his anger and said, "No, nothing. You don't have a task. You're in the center of the pitch......"
Hulai was puzzled: "But what exactly should I do, coach?" ”
I watched a few qualifiers before, as long as there is a substitution, Coach Li Ziqiang will definitely pull the players who are going to play to explain for a long time, I am afraid that I can't speak clearly with my mouth, and I also write and draw on the tactical board. Although Hulai couldn't hear what the coach said, just looking at the movements made him feel very professional!
He also fantasized that when it was his turn, should he also put on a very professional expression and posture in front of the tactical board, such as listening attentively to the manager's arrangement, nodding from time to time, and finally casting his resolute eyes on the opponent's goal to show his determination......
Unexpectedly, it was his turn to play today, and the head coach had no arrangements for himself. This left him with no room to play at all.
"You can do it!" Li Ziqiang didn't want to deal with Hu Lai, and after he said this, he pushed Hu Lai to the fourth official.
After handing in his pass and substitution list, Hulai finally stood on the sidelines, waiting to be replaced.
He was still thinking about the manager's words.
Let me do it myself?
Is it for me to find my own time?
The coach is really professional, and he knows how to use my talent right away!
In Hulay's mind, if he knew where the goal was, why bother to be told how to find it? Therefore, the coach did not assign him specific tasks, it must be because he fully realized his talent.
Find time when this is your forte!
Hulai twisted his ass excitedly on the sidelines, and he couldn't wait to get on the court.
After all, this was his first official competition!
After the ball flew out of bounds, the game went to the dead-ball stage, and Dongchuan Middle School made the first substitution of the game.
With No. 14 Hulai, he replaced the starting center Zhong Shihao of No. 9.
The moment Hulay stepped onto the court, he heard a pleasant voice in his head: "The game has been played, the mission has been completed, and the mission reward [Primary Training Scroll: Shot] has been obtained." ”
Hearing this, Hu Lai almost jumped up with joy, and he just shook his hands and ran to his center position under everyone's gaze.
Song Jiajia in the stands saw this scene and couldn't help but complain: "How is this posture the same as a kindergarten child going to the playground?" ”
Li Qingqing was amused by Song Jiajia's words, but in her eyes, Hu Lai was not a kindergarten child who went to the playground, because there was a tail that flicked happily behind his buttocks...... He's a dog who has been locked up at home for months and can finally go out and let loose!
Li Ziqiang looked at Hu Lai's happy back, his face was as black as dripping ink - how can this be a little bit of a player! It's a joke!
