Chapter 64: A Season for Young People

"In a first-round match of the Chinese Super League that ended last night, the boys of our provincial team Anton Shining Star defeated the incoming enemy Yunyang Phoenix 1-0 at home after tenacious struggle...... Yunyang Phoenix finished seventh in the Chinese Super League last season and are an old powerhouse in the Chinese Super League. However, in the face of strong opponents, the players of the shining stars are fearless, and despite participating in the Chinese Super League for the first time in history, the young shining stars still perform well, playing in style and playing at a high level...... In the end, thanks to the goal of the talented player Hulai, he won the game ......"

When Li Ziqiang walked past the door of the guard room of Dongchuan Middle School, he heard such a news broadcast coming from the hands of the doorman in the room.

Seeing Li Ziqiang, the security guard beckoned: "Coach Li, did you watch last night's game?" ”

Li Ziqiang nodded: "Look." ”

"Heck, they said that Hulai scored the first goal of the flashing star in the Chinese Super League, Hulai is really good enough! Oh, I still have his autograph, hey! ”

"Then you're really good......" Li Ziqiang didn't continue to chat with the security guard, and after a simple perfunctory speech, he said goodbye to the security guard, walked straight to the stadium, and prepared to start today's winter vacation training for the school team.

When he arrived at the stadium, there were already some players from the Dongchuan Middle School football team who were busy hauling out the training equipment from the sports warehouse and putting them on the field.

From afar, Li Ziqiang could hear what the student players were discussing.

The Super League game that ended yesterday, of course.

'Did you see Hulay's goal? It feels so relaxed......"

"Hey, isn't that what Senior Hulai is all about? You can see that he scored a goal that seemed very simple, but it ignored the ...... he made to make the run in order to score so easily."

"Brother Xiao Yu started yesterday and continued to play in the Super Cup, I feel that Qin Lin can really retire with peace of mind......"

"Eh, I can't say that, Brother Xiao Yu respects Qin Lin very much. I don't think it's a matter of who replaces whom, it's a kind of inheritance......"

"Speaking of inheritance, our Dongchuan Middle School football team has produced three professional players, which is the most talented of all high schools participating in national competitions. It is said that Shining Star is considering cooperating with the school to use our school as a youth training pilot......"

"Wow? Really? It's cool after that, I'm going to be a professional footballer too! I want to be like Hu Lai and Xiao Yuge! ”

"Hello coach!"

Someone found Li Ziqiang, quickly stopped chatting, and hurriedly greeted him.

The others also stopped what they were doing and stood on the court, greeting their coach very respectfully.

Li Ziqiang nodded: "You continue." ”

With that, he turned around and entered his office with his hands behind his back.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see a red Chinese team jersey hanging from the office wall, the front of the jersey is facing outward, and there are two names signed with gold markers on the chest.

After careful identification, I could recognize the signatures of Hu Lai and Luo Kai.

This is after the Chinese Olympic team won the U23 Asian Cup, Hu Lai specially sent it to Li Ziqiang.

It is also a proof that the football team of Dongchuan Middle School has sent two outstanding talents to the national Olympic team.

This jersey made the old principal Zhai Guangming salivate, and he wanted to find Li Ziqiang several times to hang it in the honor room, but Li Ziqiang refused.

The latter said that it was a souvenir for the school's football team, and that it had to be hung in the office of the Dongcheon Middle School football team, not in the school's honor room.

Zhai Guangming was puzzled: Since it is for the football team of Dongchuan Middle School, why can't you put the honor room? The honor room is full of those honors won by the Dongchuan Middle School football team, and this jersey is also the honor of the team.

Li Ziqiang didn't care about this, he insisted that the championships and honors won by the Dongchuan Middle School football team were in the honor room, but the jersey had to be left on the wall of the football team's office anyway. Because he wants his players to see the shirt often, as a way to encourage them to train hard and play well.

Zhai Guangming had no choice but to give up - in fact, he was quite worried that Li Ziqiang would take the jersey home directly and still stay in school He can also accept this result.

Li Ziqiang's gaze did not stop on the jersey, but walked straight to his desk by the window.

On the pitch outside the window, the football teenagers under the morning light continued to talk about yesterday's Chinese Super League and talked about a bright future.

Xie Lan went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables ꓹ Thinking about making a sauerkraut fish for Lao Hu ꓹ Picked the fish on the scale and asked, "How much?" ”

Unexpectedly, the fishmonger in the vegetable market waved his hand, and neatly put the weighed fish into a plastic bag: "No money!" ”

Xie Lan was stunned, she used to come here to buy fish, and she had never enjoyed the treatment of no money.

The middle-aged fishmonger happily handed the plastic bag to Xie Lan: "Please eat!" ”

"Why?" Sheeran was confused.

"Thank you for cultivating such a promising son!" The fishmonger said, "I think I was also a fan of Andong Heungseong. It's just that I haven't watched the game since the disbandment of Xingcheng......"

Xie Lan was embarrassed: "Oh, I am embarrassed to come to you to buy fish when you say that......"

"Hehe, just this time, Sister Xie. After all, Hulai scored his first goal in 21 years, so this time, it is not an example. ”

"Then I'll ...... You're welcome? Xie Lan then withdrew his hand carrying the plastic bag.

"You're welcome, you're welcome!" The fishmonger waved his hand vigorously.

Watching Xie Lan turn around and leave, with a smile on his face, he felt as if he had finally made a small contribution to Anton football.

When Andong Xingcheng was disbanded, he was still a young man working in other places, and he was stunned when he heard the news, but he couldn't do anything. Even the depression didn't last long, because he still had to work, and he didn't have time to grieve and feel the loss of his youth.

Now I have sent a fish to the player's mother who gave Anton's football a new life, which can be regarded as making up for a little regret at the beginning.

Dragging a cart loaded with fish and vegetables, Xie Lan continued to stroll through the vegetable market, not knowing what the middle-aged fishmonger was thinking, but she was happy in her own heart.

for the light of his son.

She decided to have a good time with Lao Hu at the dinner table when she had lunch at noon.

Hu Lixin was jogging on the greenway, and there were children playing football on a lawn next to him.

When the football was accidentally kicked by the children, they shouted at Hu Lixin, the only one exercising on the greenway: "Uncle! Uncle! Please help pick up the ball, thanks! ”

Hu Lixin slowed down, and the football flying from a distance fell to the ground in front of him, bounced off a few times, gradually slowed down, and finally stopped at his feet.

"Thank you, uncle!" The children waved their arms at him and thanked him in advance.

Hu Lixin looked down at the ball at his feet, and reflexively wanted to bend down to hold the ball with his hands.

But he just leaned over and froze, and instead of picking up the ball, he straightened up again and picked up the ball with his toes.

Looking at the picked up football, he lifted his thigh and gently cushioned it, and when the football fell, he switched his foot to bounce the ball.

At first, his movements were a little jerky, like a machine that had not been started for many years.

He even almost threw the soccer ball upside down in front of a group of kids.

But soon he found his senses.

The machine roared and roared, and the rusted joints showed signs of loosening, and large swaths of rust residue were worn away and thrown everywhere.

And as these shackles are broken, the machine runs more and more smoothly.

After moving his feet several times in a row and reluctantly saving the football back, Hu Lixin's movements became more and more smooth and natural.

The little kids who were playing football were dumbfounded, and from time to time they let out exclamations of "wow" and "wow".

After a series of bumpers, when the football fell again, Hu Lixin turned his right ankle sideways and used the outside instep to pump the football into the open space behind the children.

"Hurry up!"

"This ball is mine!"

The children shouted and turned and ran to the spot where the football landed.

Hu Lixin gasped slightly and looked at their backs running away, with a slight smile on his face.

At the Energy Stadium in Hedong Shenglinji City, 40,000 home fans are cheering on their team.

On the right side of the pitch, a figure wearing a number 19 picked up his right foot and made a gesture to cross.

The Shanhai Blue Moon player who defended him raised his leg to stop.

But he didn't cross with his right foot, but slammed the ball inside to the left! The whole person then cut in from the side of the Blue Moon fullback who had lost his center of gravity!

"Luo Kai!!" The commentator of Hedong Satellite TV shouted excitedly. "Beautiful! Pretty!! ”

Luo Kai, who had passed his opponent, glanced up at the penalty area and picked up his left foot as if to shoot.

The central defender who attracted the blue moon pounced and blocked the eye with his body.

But Luo Kai's kick was still a feint, his left foot was a fake shot and a real buckle, and the football was dunked into the penalty area again!

"Continuous change of direction!!"

The cheers in the stands grew louder.

Rokai threw his leg a third time in the cheers, this time sweeping the ball straight into the middle of the box with his right leg.

There, Hedong Thunderbolt's foreign aid center Stuart Barragan slapped his horse and used his strong body to block the central defender of Blue Moon, and swept his feet!

Soccer balls fly into the goal!

The energy stadium radiated a huge amount of energy, and the cheers resounded through the sky, almost dispersing the dark clouds of the night sky.

After the goal, German centre-forward Stuart Barragan took the initiative to run to Rokai, gave him a bear hug, and finally lifted him up.

The rest of the Raiden team ran up and surrounded the two.

"Young talent Luo Kai used a series of wonderful individual breakthroughs to stir up the Blue Moon backline! They lost sight of one or the other, and missed Barragan in the middle! The latter also scored his own hat-trick of the game! ”

The televised broadcast gave a close-up of the goal-scorer Barragan and then quickly cut the close-up to Rokai's face.

Surrounded by his teammates, he smiled happily.

Luo Kai can feel that this will be his Super League season!
