Li Qingqing and Yan Yan both guessed correctly, and although Hu Lai came off the bench in the quarter-finals and scored a goal, it did not change his fate.

In the semi-finals of the qualifiers on the weekend, facing the strong rival Provincial Experimental High School football team from Jincheng, Dongchuan Middle School fell into a hard-fought battle on its home turf, and until the end of the game, Hu Lai failed to put on the game.

Luo Kai was closely marked by the opponent in this game.

It also exposed the flaw of Dongchuan Middle School's lack of scoring points other than Luo Kai.

In the end, it was Luo Kai who relied on his super personal ability to break the deadlock for Dongchuan Middle School. The Provincial Experimental Middle School fell short.

It was with this goal that Dongchuan Middle School finally defeated the Provincial Experimental Middle School and advanced to the final of the Andong Cup.

When the players of the Dongchuan Middle School football team were frantically celebrating their final, as a coach, Li Ziqiang was very calm, and even his face was a little ugly......

If nothing else, there should be no suspense about the result of the other semi-finals, and Jiaxiang High School will enter the final.

But if with the current situation of Dongchuan Middle School, if he meets Jiaxiang, Li Ziqiang is not sure that he can win.

Although this game was won by Higashikawa Middle School, it was a thrilling victory, and it can even be said that it was completely by luck to win the ball.

If they didn't have Luo Kai, they would have stopped in the semi-finals.

Luo Kai is indeed the biggest gain of Dongchuan Middle School, and it is not wrong to describe it with the phrase "picking up treasures".

So far, he has scored a total of 12 goals in six qualifying games, ranking first in the scorer list of the Anton Cup, five goals more than second.

It stands to reason that having such a great striker is something that any manager can only dream of.

But Li Ziqiang doesn't see it that way now.

Because apart from Rokai, the team lacks other scoring points.

Li Ziqiang believes that the coaching staff of the Jiaxiang High School football team is not a bunch of idiots, and must have noticed the importance of Luo Kai, as well as the discovery of the problems at Dongchuan Middle School.

As long as they lock up Luo Kai in the final, there is a good chance that Dongchuan Middle School will not be able to score.

Does Jiaxiang High School have this ability?

That's Jiaxiang High School, which is known for its defense......

Li Ziqiang can certainly adopt some tactical changes to get Luo Kai out of the defense and get more shots on goal.

But he felt that he couldn't put all his eggs in one basket, and he had to prepare some back-ups.

Who else is good at scoring besides Luo Kai?

Li Ziqiang's eyes searched the team, and then he saw Hu Lai, who was waving vigorously in the direction of his daughter.

His pupils constricted.

Then I thought about the kid's performance after coming off the bench in the last game.

He ran into the open space several times and finally scored with a bounce ball. A lot of people say that the ball was scored by shit luck, and he admits that Hulay's goal had a strong element of luck, but it wasn't luck that he was there.

His nose in front of the door was unusually acute.

Looking at Hu Lai, an idea popped into Li Ziqiang's mind, but he was still a little hesitant.

"Team Chu, you see I'm right, right?" While celebrating the victory and waving to the supporters in the stands to thank him, Yan Yan came to Chu Yifan's side and winked at him. "Hulai didn't play in this game."

"That...... Yan Yan, I have thought about what you said carefully when I went back, but there is one thing I have never figured out. Chu Yifan said.

"What's the matter?"

"You said that Hulai is the person that our coach is optimistic about, so where is our coach optimistic about him? A rookie with no football foundation, what is there to be optimistic about? ”

Hearing Chu Yifan say this, Yan Yan showed a mysterious smile on his face: "Team Chu, do you still know why Hu Lai entered the school team?" ”

"I heard that he scored a hat-trick in a test match......

"Yes, in our new test match, there are two people who have completed a hat-trick, one is Luo Kai, and the other is him. But do you know how he scored a hat-trick? The first ball was a kick from a defender and the ball fell right in front of him, and the second ball was a teammate who shot into the air and shook the opposing goalkeeper and defender before the ball rolled in front of him again. The third goal is even more amazing - he wanted to stop the ball, but he stopped the football in his face and bounced into the door - you see, you see, Chu team, this is all right! You can bounce back into the goal by hitting your face! ”

"I have an impression." Chu Yifan also nodded. "A lot of people say he's shitty lucky."

"yes, it's shit luck. Then after entering the school team, I was dissatisfied with only doing basic training, and I had to play. The special training specially arranged by our coach for him, and everyone can see that this special training is deliberately making things difficult for him. The result? He hit the world wave with great luck! Chu team, do you think that with Hulai's ability, it is possible for him to score with a barb in his normal performance? You don't know how high the level of that kick is, let me tell you, he finished the shot in my face, you know what level I am in the Chu team......" Yan Yan, as the person concerned, appeared to further enhance his persuasiveness.

Chu Yifan nodded slowly. To be honest, in the eyes of all the school players, Hulai is a football lover who has no foundation, maybe he really likes football, but his strength is almost zero, and he doesn't know that he plays poorly, and it's too normal to be ridiculed......

"Good. He scored a goal in the last game, and you can see exactly how that goal was scored, so I don't need to say anything. Once or twice is enough, three or four times to score in the same way, what does that mean? ”

"What does it mean?"

"It means that he is the chosen one!" Yan Yan slapped his thigh, "Of course, there's something about his off-ball running, but so what?" The most important thing is his strong luck! Lucky enough for him, I haven't seen anyone else in my life. Our coach must have taken a fancy to this trait in Hu Lai, so he plans to help him make up for his shortcomings, so that when he comes on the field with strong luck, won't the balance of luck be on our side? Maybe when the opposing goalkeeper clears the siege, he will kick and fall to the ground, giving us the football and the empty goal? ”

Chu Yifan was speechless, he didn't expect the truth to be like this......

He only thought that Hulai had some talent in judging the landing point of football and running without the ball, but he didn't expect Hulai's strongest thing to be lucky...... He wanted to refute Yan Yan, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard Yan Yan say to him, "Don't say that this is metaphysics." Know that the end of science is metaphysics! Are there fewer superstitions on the football field? It's like the number fourteen. Speaking of Hu Lai, you think, Team Chu, No. 14 is a cursed number, but it was worn by Hu Lai, but it was as if it had lost the effectiveness of the curse...... The lucky hat-trick in the varsity team selection, the lucky world wave in the special training, and the lucky center post in the last game rebounded to his feet...... You taste, Chu team, you taste. ”

Chu Yifan's mouth closed again.

Because in the face of these ironclad facts, he really couldn't come up with any convincing evidence to refute Yan Yan's statement.

He also knows that there are no wonders in the world, and there may really be those lucky people in this world who are so lucky that they explode and make everyone envious.

Could it be that this Hulay is such a winner in life?

He set his sights on Hulai, who was not frustrated in the absence of the match, and was happily celebrating the victory with the others.

He didn't know how to explain what happened to this rookie, and his brain was a mess.

The stands at the Jiaxiang High School Stadium were filled with cheers as students wearing Jiaxiang High School uniforms celebrated their school's seventh consecutive Andong Cup final.

In the deafening cheers, the players of the Jiaxiang High School football team on the field were much calmer.

After all, reaching the final of the Anton Cup is as ordinary for them as eating.

They will only be happy if they win the Anton Cup and reach the finals of the national competition.

This is the mentality of the king of high school football in Andong Province, the player of Jiaxiang High School.

After routinely thanking the students in the stands, they ran back to the locker room at the urging of the team's coach.

They need to quickly change out of wet clothes, take a shower, change into dry clothes, and blow dry their hair to avoid catching a cold.

The trick of Jia Xiang High School to become the football hegemon of Andong High School is reflected in these details.

After driving the players back to the locker room, the coaching staff of the Jiaxiang High School football team came to the office and had a meeting.

"Our final opponent is Dongchuan Middle School." The team's assistant coach said as he entered the office.

"This year's Dongchuan Middle School has really changed a lot. They invited Li Ziqiang to be the head coach, and this year's high school freshmen also included Luo Kai, the best player in the Anton Cup in junior high school. One of the coaches said. Luo Kai's school originally wanted to recruit him, but his family was unwilling to send him to Jincheng to attend high school, so in the end he chose Dongchuan Middle School......"

The old man sitting behind a desk in the middle of the office waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, we have Xu Gaofei, he is more suitable for our tactics." ”

This old man is none other than Feng Yuanchang, the head coach of the Jiaxiang High School football team.

His temples are gray, but he is in good spirits, and he has an unquestionable aura in his gestures.

I just heard him continue: "Li Ziqiang was a coach at Quanshun Football School before, and he is a very capable coach. But his problem is that he has just taken over Dongchuan Middle School, and he hasn't had time to implement his things into the team. From the time he took over the team to the start of the qualifiers, it seemed like there were only two weeks. It's too hasty. So he can only rely on Luo Kai's personal ability. Luo Kai's level is indeed very high, but it is not without weaknesses. He's got what looks like a decent number of goals, but that's been paid for with more shots than anyone else. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at his assistant coach, and the other party quickly took out his tablet and read out the data on it: "We have counted that Luo Kai has an average of 12 shots per game, which is not only the player with the most shots in the Dongchuan Middle School team, but also the highest average in the entire Anton Cup." In the quarter-finals against Brown North High School, he had a record number of shots on goal, scoring two goals in a match with as many as 19 shots on goal. In this Andong Cup, more than three-quarters of the shots of Dongchuan Middle School were finally completed by Luo Kai. ”

At this point, the assistant coach paused and looked at the old man.

Feng Yuanchang continued: "In other words, Dongchuan Middle School has put all the treasures on Luo Kai. As long as we can suppress Luo Kai, Dongchuan Middle School will not be a threat. As far as I know, in the semi-finals that ended before, Dongchuan Middle School eliminated the experimental middle school 1:0. Although he won, it was very difficult for Dongchuan Middle School to win, and the experimental middle school stared at Luo Kai for the whole game and did not give him a chance to get up, so he only completed five shots in this game, and the entire team of Dongchuan Middle School only had seven shots on goal. Although the experimental middle school lost the game in the end, it does not mean that there is a problem with their approach, the problem is their people - they do not have a defender like Wang Guangwei. ”

Entering the air-conditioned locker room, the players of Jiaxiang High School felt much more comfortable. After all, it's already December, and although Andong province is not located in the north and rarely snows in winter, it feels colder than the north due to the humid climate.

While undressing and preparing to take a shower, someone asked loudly, "Who is our opponent in the finals?" ”

"It seems to be the ...... of Higashikawa Middle School"

"Hey, it's them?"

"What's so surprising about this, after all, they have that Luo Kai......"

"Tsk, that Luo Kai is really powerful. The top scorer in the list, if nothing else, the top scorer of this Anton Cup is him, right? Dongchuan Middle School has really picked up a treasure! ”

"So what, no matter how powerful it is, it's not our captain's opponent!"

As soon as this was said, everyone in the locker room turned their eyes to a boy with a wheat complexion, whose hair was still meticulously combed back after a game, which was very eye-catching.

The focus of everyone's attention is the captain of the Jiaxiang High School football team, Wang Guangwei, a third-year high schooler.

"Captain, can that Luo Kai mess up your hairstyle?" Someone in the team asked.

Faced with this question, Wang Guangwei made a straight face: "What are you thinking about all day long? Hurry up and take a shower and change clothes, do you want to catch a cold? ”

Seeing that the captain refused to answer the question, everyone went to the shower room in the locker room with a smile, and the sound of rushing water and noise soon came from inside.

"Why don't you go to the shower?" Wang Guangwei retracted his gaze and looked at Wu Yue, who was standing beside him.

Wu Yue smiled: "Actually, I'm also curious......"

"You're as boring as they are." Wang Guangwei said helplessly.

"No, don't get me wrong." Wu Yue waved his hand again and again. "I'm not curious if that Luo Kai can mess up your hairstyle."

"So what are you curious about?" Wang Guangwei stared at his partner in the back line and asked.

"I'm just curious...... "Wu Yue looked at Wang Guangwei's hair, "how much hairspray do you have to use before the game......"

"You're more boring than them!"
