Lin Jin met the children of Dongchuan Middle School in the parking lot again, she already knew the result of the game, the team that participated in the national competition for the first time came to a very amazing opening appearance, 6:0 defeated the national competition regulars Xizi Middle School.

She was really worried that the team she was in charge of would be going home tomorrow.

It would have made her a little frustrated.

They have a group of staff who are specifically responsible for docking with the team, and everyone in the group will also communicate and chat, joke and joke with each other. And everyone is also secretly competing, competing with the results of the teams they are docking.

I don't know when this "tradition" began to form.

If the team you are responsible for has a good result, you will feel a little bit of a light on your face, as if the team has a share of credit for its victory - in fact, there is, they provide meticulous service to the team, help them eliminate worries, and the team can train and play with peace of mind.

And when assigning staff, one principle is followed, that is, if everyone worked together in the last tournament and there is no problem, then this tournament will continue to be responsible for the work of connecting with this team - if this team can still come to this tournament.

This is also to allow the team and the staff to directly have less run-in and more tacit understanding, which is convenient for work and at the same time, so that the team can prepare for the game with peace of mind without being disturbed by other trivial matters.

In such a situation, the team that participates in the tournament every year and the staff who are responsible for connecting with them naturally become friends.

As for Lin Jin, because she was an intern who only joined last year, this year's competition is actually her first time leading the team.

Before coming into contact with the children of Dongchuan Middle School, she was a little nervous and didn't know how to get in touch with this group of teenagers.

But at the airport, the boy named "Hulai" shouted "sister" and let her put her mind at ease—just think of them as her own brothers?

Although she didn't have much contact time, she fell in love with this group of cute teenagers and hoped that they could go further and further in the national competition.

It's just that as a team competing in a national tournament for the first time, she is also well aware that the situation may not be too rosy.

Unexpectedly, this group of teenagers gave her a big surprise today.

After the results of the competition came out, the WeChat group she was in exploded, and everyone congratulated her, and expressed their surprise.

Lin Jin, who was sitting in the car at the time, smiled, with a face, like a flower.

Now she stood next to the bus, watching the excited Dongchuan Middle School players running towards her, and then stretched out her hand: "Congratulations on your victory!" Come and give a high-five celebration! ”

Then she high-fived every Dongchuan Middle School player who got on the bus.

After getting into the car, looking at the children who were still making noise, a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

She actually likes this job very much, because staying with these teenagers always makes her feel like she is back in that carefree youth full of dreams and longings for the future.

It's nice to be young......

Just when she was so emotional, she saw Li Ziqiang, the head coach of Dongchuan Middle School, who was sitting in the row behind her, stand up and borrow a microphone from her to use.

After handing the microphone to Li Ziqiang, Lin Jin was also thinking about what the unsmiling head coach would say, I am afraid that even such a strict head coach as him would be infected by the youthful vitality of the players and praise them fiercely, right?

Li Ziqiang, who was holding the microphone, did not speak immediately, but looked at all the players in the carriage behind him.

Under his calm gaze, the noise gradually disappeared, and everyone quieted down, looking at the manager, knowing that the manager must have something to say to them.

After all the voices disappeared and confirmed that every look was looking at him, Li Ziqiang spoke: "It is a very happy thing to win Xizi Middle School and enter the second round. You all did well in the game and as your coach, I'm happy for your performance. ”

Although he said so on his mouth, the expression on Li Ziqiang's face was very serious, and he didn't mean to be happy at all.

The players got used to their coach's unsmiling look, so they didn't make a fuss.

However, Lin Jin listened to Coach Li Ziqiang's words next to him, and he didn't hear the "happy" emotion from his tone, and muttered a little - is this head coach talking back? Wasn't he infected by the youthful breath in the carriage?

"Next, we will meet the fourth place winner of the last national competition, Huitang Middle School in Meiling. As a first-time team participating in a national tournament, I didn't set any specific goals for everyone before I came to the capital. Now we have reached the second round and become the top 16 in the country. It can be said that as a team participating in the national competition for the first time, our performance is already very good, at least better than Xizi Middle School. ”

Li Ziqiang said this with a cold face, but a burst of laughter broke out in the carriage.

Li Ziqiang didn't stop everyone from laughing, but waited for the laughter to subside and continued: "Now we have a very strong opponent in the second round, which is a good reason to lose the game - after all, the opponent is too strong, and if you lose at the feet of such a team, it seems that there is nothing to complain about." So I'd like to ask for your opinion here: Do you think you should simply lose to Huitang Middle School and stop at the top 16? ”

After speaking, Li Ziqiang put down the microphone and looked at the team members quietly.

Lin Jin was going crazy listening to it next to him - how could a head coach speak to his team like this? Although what he said makes a lot of sense...... But isn't that a blow to the team's morale and confidence?

At this moment, she saw Hulai, who was sitting in the back row, jumping up: "Then do you need to say?" It must be a dry renovation of Huitang Middle School! The game hasn't been played yet, so why are you thinking about whether to lose the game? Coach, you're definitely using a provocative approach to us, aren't you? ”

The players, who had been quite quiet, couldn't help but laugh when they heard Hulai's last sentence.

Even Lin Jin snorted, but she quickly covered her mouth, realizing that it was inappropriate for her to make such a laugh at this time on such an occasion......

Li Ziqiang tried hard to keep his face straight and not let his expression management get out of control, and then he glared at Hu Lai fiercely and didn't speak.

At this time, Chu Yifan, as the captain of the team, stood up from his seat: "Coach, I don't know what others think, and I don't know if we will definitely be able to defeat Huitang Middle School." But it was a very rare opportunity to play against the team that was fourth in the country. I want to give it my all in this game and see how far we are from fourth in the country. And even if I lose, then I won't regret it, because the strength is not enough, I accept this result. ”

After speaking, Chu Yifan sat back. Then Yan Yan also stood up: "Coach, I agree with what Team Chu said." I don't know if we'll win, but I just want to try. However, here I have some disagreements with the Chu team, because ...... What if we win in the end? Ha ha! ”

Even Luo Kai, who has always been a man of few words, raised his hand at this time and said: "I won't admit defeat before the game is over." ”

Others also expressed their opinions, and they were all unanimous - they would never accept the practice of losing to Huitang Middle School now and finding a high-sounding reason for losing.

In the noisy carriage, Li Ziqiang raised his hand.

Seeing the head coach's action, everyone calmed down again and looked at their coach.

"Very well, then it looks like we're on an agreement. After I get the video of the game between Huitang Middle School and Jincheng No. 6 Middle School, I will talk about this team with you in combination with the video. Let's rest now. ”

After speaking, he returned the microphone to Lin Jin and said thank you.

He then sat back in his seat, and the bus was back to its previous appearance...... No, it's still different from before, and some people look out the window, wondering if they're thinking about the next game.

Huitang Middle School from Meiling City, Nanling Province, that's a formidable opponent.

Lin Jin felt worried about the teenagers of Dongchuan Middle School in her heart, but she was infected by the courage shown by these teenagers, and had some unrealistic expectations for the next competition...... This made her very entangled in her heart.

※※※

Also on the bus returning to the Olympic Village from the first day of the game, Lu Jianbai, the head coach of Huitang Middle School, was criticizing his team with a black face: "Look at your performance! Facing the 25th place in the last tournament, you can all concede a goal! What's wrong? Feel stable when you're four goals ahead?! Just waves? Waves! And then the waves! Will it be okay to continue to wave in the next game?! ”

Wang Hao, who was sitting at the front door of the car and was specially responsible for docking Huitang Middle School, listened to Lu Jianbai's words, and kept complaining in his heart:

Big brother, why can't you feel stable when it's 4:0? 4:0 Ah! A four-goal lead can't feel stable, is there a stable enough score in the world?

However, he also knows that Lu Jianbai has this temper, and his requirements for his team are indeed very high. Facing Kaneshiro No. 6 Middle School, which was eliminated in the first round of the last edition, he may hope that the team can beat the opponent without conceding a goal.

After all, their opponent in the next round, Dongchuan Middle School, swept Xizi Middle School 6:0 in the first round. Moreover, in the last national competition, Xizi Middle School ranked higher than Jincheng No. 6 Middle School, ten rankings higher.

It is the difference between the top 16 and the top 32.

All the players from Huitang Middle School were scolded by the head coach so bloodied, they all lowered their heads and did not say a word, and there was no other sound in the bus except the voice of their head coach.

If people who don't know the truth only see this scene, they will definitely think that Huitang Middle School was eliminated in the first round of the national competition......

“…… I tell you, don't take it lightly because you're playing against a rookie team competing in a national tournament for the first time! If you face Dongchuan Middle School with the mentality of fighting Jincheng No. 6 Middle School, I can guarantee that you will die in the end! ”

"I've got the video footage of the game between Dongchuan Middle School and Xixi Middle School, and when we get to the Olympic Village, let's go to the conference room to study the team. Now reflect on it! ”

After saying the heavy words, Lu Jianbai sat back in his seat in a huff and stopped talking.

And the atmosphere inside the car seems to be more solemn than before......
