"That, mom......"

When Hulai ran to find his mother after his father went to work, as soon as the words were spoken, his mother guessed what he was going to do: "Is there another game today?" ”

Hu Lai nodded hurriedly: "The new Anton Cup has begun, Mom." ”

"Go, go, go." Xie Lan waved his hand.

But just as Hu Lai turned around happily, she added: "However, Hu Lai, you still have to take care of yourself when you reach the third year of high school." ”

Hulai stopped and looked back at his mother.

"It's only a year before the college entrance examination, and my mother hopes that you can put your mind on studying, football or something...... Let's suspend it for a year. When you go to college, no one cares about you as much as you want, and we're not with you anyway, and you don't have to worry about being found out by your dad - even if he does, he can't run to another city to care about you, right? ”

"Oh......" Hulay did not contradict his mother, but simply replied and went back to his room.

Sitting at his desk, looking at the spread out of his books and homework, he picked up the pen and put it down again, pursed his lips, and his eyes fell into a state of distraction.

He actually knew that his mother had a point, and his mother already understood him very well, so she didn't let him give up football completely, but suspended it for a year, and when he was admitted to college, he could play as much as he wanted......

These are all true.

It's just that in Hulai's heart, he doesn't plan for his future like this.

Luo Kai was successfully signed by a professional club in the last national competition, which gave him a great touch.

He also wants to play professionally, he wants to be a professional footballer.

But it is clear that his performances at the last national tournament will not be enough to impress the professional clubs.

He has to be better and more convincing.

If he hadn't caught the attention of professional football clubs in his sophomore year, he might have been forced to give up a year of soccer under family pressure.

After a year of hiatus from training and competitions, when he was admitted to university, who knows what would happen?

Besides, Mom's words all sound right, but only if he treats football as a good thing. I just like football, and if I want to play football, it's really nothing if I don't play football in my junior year of high school, and it doesn't matter if I start playing football again in college.

But if he wants to go to professional football, then this one-year gap will be a huge loss for him.

Hulai doesn't want to listen to his parents' arrangement, he wants to fight for his future.

When Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Rui were sitting in the school cafeteria eating, Hu Lai came to them with a plate.

"Ah, Deputy Hu, come and sit here......" Chen Rui saw Hu Lai and hurriedly wanted to beckon Hu Lai to sit down and eat.

But Hulai waved his hand: "I don't eat here." ”

He pointed to the distance, where Mao Xiao and Meng Xi were waiting for him.

Then he looked at Xia Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, when you play in the afternoon, you must pass me more balls." ”

"You don't have to say I'll do the same, Deputy Hu."

"Then I still have to emphasize, pass the ball to me when you have the chance, don't be afraid that I won't be able to receive it." After speaking, Hu Lai turned around to say goodbye to them and walked to the table where Mao Xiao and Meng Xi were.

"In the first Anton Cup game, I didn't expect Vice Hu to be nervous...... Chen Rui said, "I thought that we freshmen in high school would be nervous." ”

Xia Xiaoyu shook his head: "No, I don't feel that Deputy Hu is nervous anymore." ”

"Not nervous, he came to you to confirm such a trivial matter? As the playmaker of the team, didn't you have to pass the ball to him? ”

"Deputy Hu is saying 'pass the ball more', not pass the ball to him. There's a big difference. ”

Chen Rui frowned and thought for a while: "What difference can this be?" Isn't it going to be passed on to him anyway? ”

Because of the success of Dongchuan Middle School in the national competition, the football atmosphere in the school is much stronger than before. Even on Saturdays, many students come to school to cheer on the school team.

There were quite a few people sitting in the stands.

This scene is much more spectacular than last year's Anton Cup match at Dongchuan Middle School.

Even the veteran players were so frightened that they almost lost face in front of the new players when they heard the loud cheers that suddenly came to mind in the stadium when they came out......

"Ouch, I really didn't expect that without Luo Kai's guy, there would still be so many people coming to watch our game......" Meng Xi looked up and looked around, yin and yang weird aura.

"Be confident, we're also the quarter-finals of the national competition!" Captain Yan Yan raised his head and enjoyed the cheers from the stands.

"That's what I said. But captain, isn't our coach's luck not very good? In the new Anton Cup, everyone wants to get off to a good start, right? As a result, a provincial experimental middle school in the top four of the last session was drawn, which is toxic, right? Meng Xi complained to captain Yan Yan as he walked onto the court.

The results of the draw came out last weekend, and many people already knew the results of the match through other channels on the Internet such as the official website.

As soon as they saw this opponent, many people felt a headache.

Originally, in the first game, everyone wanted to have a hearty start.

But when it comes to the semi-finals of the last Anton Cup, this game may not be so easy to play.

Not to mention the last Andong Cup, when Dongchuan Middle School and Provincial Experimental Middle School played against each other, the memories were not good at all - if it weren't for Luo Kai's super personal ability, Dongchuan Middle School would almost not even be able to enter the Anton Cup finals.

That game left a deep impression on many players from Dongchuan Middle School.

The Provincial Experimental Middle School's defense against Luo Kai alone was very successful, making Dongchuan Middle School, which relied on Luo Kai, very embarrassed and passive.

Of course, in the end, the Provincial Experimental Middle School was just a foil for Luo Kai, and the more successful they were in defending Luo Kai in the game, the more they could reflect Luo Kai's super strength in the end.

※※※

The head coach of the Provincial Experimental Middle School sat in the coach's seat at this time, waiting for the game to start.

His eyes were on the Dongchuan Middle School players on the field.

Although Dongchuan Middle School played well in the national competition and won the top eight.

But in his heart, he has always been a little unconvinced.

He always felt that Dongchuan Middle School relied on one person and relied too much on Luo Kai's ability, so the results achieved were not convincing at all.

After all, if you rely on one person, you can't achieve stable results. The final result of the team depends entirely on the performance of one person.

For example, now, Luo Kai has left the team to go to a professional football club, what is left of Dongchuan Middle School?

Without Luo Kai, they are tigers without minions, not even cats!

He had already said that to his players before the game started.

Today's game was a great opportunity for them to get their revenge.

It would be great if I could win the flag for the quarterfinals of the national competition.

The goal of this year's Anton Cup of the Provincial Experimental Middle School is also to reach the finals and wrestle with Jiaxiang High School.

This time, Jiaxiang High School has no Wang Guangwei, just like Dongchuan Middle School without Luo Kai, maybe the Provincial Experimental Middle School will also have the opportunity to represent Andong Provincial High School Football to participate in the national competition......

After Xia Xiaoyu got the ball on the court, he immediately passed the football out again.

As soon as the ball was passed, the opposing defender pressed up.

The defense is still very tight......

But that doesn't mean there aren't opportunities.

Xia Xiaoyu kept shaking his head left and right to observe the situation on the field.

The game has been played for more than ten minutes, and after his observation, he found that the Provincial Experimental Middle School still attaches great importance to himself, but the defense of Hulai is almost meaningless......

What's wrong? Look down on our deputy Hu?

Let me tell you, Vice Hu is the man who scored three goals in the national competition!

You think he's lucky?

Hehe.

※※※

After observing the game for more than ten minutes off the field, the head coach of the Provincial Experimental Middle School was more sure of his previous judgment of Dongchuan Middle School.

Without Luo Kai, they don't even have a scoring point. If you lose Luo Kai, you will lose your scoring weapon.

If it weren't for Xia Xiaoyu in their first year of high school, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to control the midfield......

It is Luo Kai and luck that such a team can become the quarter-finals of the national competition. And now, with Luo Kai gone, luck is gone with them.

On the other hand, the Provincial Experimental Middle School emphasizes the whole, although there are no particularly outstanding players in each position, but with a strong overall game ability, the Provincial Experimental Middle School is still Anton's traditional football powerhouse.

This is also the thing that makes him the proudest, after all, such a strong overall football is the biggest credit for him as a manager.

At the end of the day, football is a team sport......

Just as he was thinking like this, he saw that the football was passed to Xia Xiaoyu again.

At the same time, his midfield defenders also immediately pressed up, not giving Xia Xiaoyu a chance to control the ball calmly.

Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on his face, his players were quite obedient, and they went up quite quickly......

But Xia Xiaoyu did not stop the ball, but directly pushed the football out diagonally with the inside of his right foot.

The football rolled quickly towards the penalty area of the Provincial Experimental Middle School.

※※※

Hulai also saw the vacancy, but he didn't run straight over, but moved sideways. At the same time, he kept turning his head to stare at Xia Xiaoyu.

After seeing Xia Xiaoyu's pass, he immediately turned around and changed direction, and came out of the state of maintaining a line with the opponent's back line!

He has practiced this set of movements on this court I don't know how many times. As soon as he heard the coach's shout, he had to rush into the square area and then change direction and run out, catch the ball, and shoot.

When Hu Lai suddenly appeared behind the defense line of the Provincial Experimental Middle School, their defenders saw that there were people behind them, so they raised their arms one by one to signal that Hu Lai was offside.

But there was nothing from the linesman to the referee.

Hulay's goal is not offside!

I saw him spread his arms to keep his balance unmarked, and at the same time raised his right foot to stop the football from Xia Xiaoyu.

Deafening cheers were already ringing from the stands of the stadium at Dongchuan Middle School.

At this time, the defensive players of the Provincial Experimental Middle School woke up like a dream and chased after Hulai.

It's just that at this time, Hulai has adjusted the football and shoots directly!

He kicked a ball against the ground, and the ball rolled against the turf to the back corner of the goal.

The Provincial Experimental Middle School goalkeeper was too late to attack and block the angle, so he could only save on the spot, and failed to block the far corner, and the football rushed into the back corner of the goal from the palm of his hand!

The referee's whistle was almost inaudible amid the thunderous cheers, but everyone could see his gesture - he pointed to the center circle, which means that the goal works!

Hulai successfully countered offside, the goal was valid, and Dongchuan Middle School broke the deadlock in the 16th minute and took the lead!
