In the face of the stubborn resistance of Brown North Middle School, Luo Kai failed to complete the hat-trick in the end.

And after the goal, Hulai was no longer in a state of herding sheep without a Brown North Middle School player, so he only scored that goal.

At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 4:0, and Dongchuan Middle School eliminated Brown North Middle School and successfully advanced to the semifinals.

Considering the results of Higashikawa Middle School in the past two competitions, it is already a good idea to be able to reach the semi-finals now. After all, in the past two editions, they have made one round of qualifiers and the other to the round of 32.

So everyone was very happy when they celebrated after the game.

This year they have changed a high-level manager, and they have also brought in a super talented player, and it seems that this year they can really look forward to that unattainable goal!

When the vice captain Yan Yan touched the captain Chu Yifan with his arm during the celebration after the game, he winked at him: "Maybe I can really go to the national competition this time!" ”

Chu Yifan said very seriously: "And Jiaxiang, according to the matchup, if we can enter the finals, we will meet Jiaxiang." ”

"Be confident, we have Luo Kai!" Yan Yan patted Chu Yifan's back.

"Luo Kai is really strong, but you see he still can't complete a hat-trick under the dense defense of Brown North Middle School......

Yan Yan laughed: "What are you thinking, Team Chu? Ordinary people should be praised for scoring a goal, but Luo Kai scored two goals and assisted a goal, even if he didn't complete the hat-trick, it was not a big deal at all. Now you think he didn't finish his hat-trick and didn't do it well enough...... If I were Luo Kai, I would have to beg you to be a person, Team Chu. ”

Hearing Yan Yan's words, Chu Yifan also laughed, and he put away his tense expression: "You're right, it's my request that is too unreasonable." ”

After the game, the players of the team still came to the stands to thank the fans who supported them at the request of the head coach.

Hulay stood in the crowd, his head held high, waving his arms, and taking the cheers with peace of mind.

He saw Li Qingqing and Song Fatzi, who were waving vigorously at him.

So he waved his arms too.

Unlike before, when he just pretended, this time he was really involved.

Mao Xiao leaned up and bent down to hug Hu Lai, and hugged him hard: "Okay, Hu Lai!" I didn't expect you to be able to score! ”

Meng Xi also said beside him: "You kid is so lucky!" ”

Hulay rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Mao Xiao retorted to his friend: "No, that's not luck. I think Hulai's off-ball movement is very good, and this goal is what he can score when he runs into the right space. ”

Meng Xi said: "Then how do you explain that the football hit the goalpost and fell in front of him?" ”

"That's also because of Hulai's ability to run without the ball, and people who don't have this ability will naturally not be able to run on the landing point of the football." Mao Xiao said.

Meng Xile was happy: "So the dare is not the football to find him, but the football to find him?" ”

Mao Xiao nodded and said seriously: "Yes, that's it." ”

Hearing this, Meng Xi looked at Hu Lai, who was still waving towards the stands, with a red bracelet tied to his wrist.

He said, "Then his luck is good enough!" ”

After thanking the students who cheered for themselves in the stands, everyone went back to the locker room to change their clothes, which was the end of the game, and they could go back to their respective homes and find their mothers after changing their clothes.

The players who were not yet excited were changing their clothes, chatting about the game that had just ended, looking forward to the future, and the atmosphere in the locker room was very relaxed.

But at this moment, the door of the locker room was suddenly pushed open.

As soon as everyone turned their heads, they saw the head coach standing at the door with a black face.

Everyone who was talking and laughing saw the head coach's expression, and they all fell silent.

They don't understand why they are not happy at all when they look at the head coach's face when they win by a big score and reach the semi-finals?

Li Ziqiang came in and closed the door of the locker room, looked around at the people in the locker room, and finally set his eyes on Hu Lai.

When everyone saw this, it dawned on them - they must be looking for trouble with Hulai again.

As for why...... Does the coach still need to ask why for Hulai?

Hulai saw the manager's gloomy gaze, and he was also a little apprehensive in his heart. He's always been happy that he scored a goal, and although there was an obvious element of luck in that goal, how can it be said that it was also a goal?

How do you think that the manager doesn't seem to be very satisfied with his performance?

When Zhong Shihao saw this scene, he sneered in his heart - make you proud!

But to everyone's surprise, the head coach looked away after staring at Hulai, and then looked at the whole team: "You guys are quite happy to win by four goals and reach the semi-finals." So can anyone come out and explain to me why no one passed the ball to Hulay during the game? ”

As he said this, he pointed his finger at Hulai.

After hearing what the manager had to say, there was an eerie silence in the dressing room, and no one could have imagined that the manager was going to say about it...... Most of them don't know how to answer the manager, but they haven't recovered from the shock at all.

In the game, there were very few passes to Hulai, on the one hand, he didn't look down on Hulai's ability, on the other hand, he was naturally afraid that Hulai would lose possession after taking the ball, and the third reason was that he wanted to help Luo Kai complete his hat trick, so as long as he was in the attack, he would definitely pass the ball to Luo Kai.

Even after Hulay's goal, those thoughts did not change. After all, Hulai's luck is too strong, and in everyone's opinion, it doesn't mean that Hulai's performance has won their trust.

Seeing that no one was talking, Li Ziqiang snorted and said in an unkind tone: "I know what you guys are thinking. But I want to remind you that you are a team! As long as Hulai is on the field, he is also part of this team! ”

In the depressing atmosphere, captain Chu Yifan finally stood up and bowed his head to apologize to the head coach: "I'm sorry, coach." It's me who is wrong, I, as the captain, didn't lead by example. ”

Li Ziqiang still had a straight face, did not look at him, but looked at all the players: "You guys should reflect and reflect!" Don't think you're going to be lucky if you win. You only won by Luo Kai's personal ability! ”

With that, he turned and left, leaving a room of silent players.

Hu Lai was stunned during the whole process, he never thought that this head coach, who usually didn't seem to deal with him, would speak for himself. Was it because he scored a goal?

He was not the only one who was confused, there were other players, and after the head coach left, everyone turned their puzzled eyes to Hulai.

At this moment, Chu Yifan walked up to Hu Lai and said to him very solemnly, "I'm sorry, Hu Lai. I apologize to you on behalf of the whole team! ”

This startled many people, and some of the people who were represented by the captain even had unnatural expressions on their faces.

Hu Lai hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't worry about Team Chu, I don't have anything." Besides, didn't I score a goal? Hey! ”

As he spoke, his hand was inserted into his waist, and if Li Qingqing was present, he would definitely see a tail cocked up behind Hu Lai's buttocks, straight up......

It's good that he doesn't say that he scored goals, but when he mentions goals, many people's expressions are even more colorful.

They looked at this scene with mixed emotions and felt that the reality was so absurd.

Obviously, they defeated their opponents 4-0 and advanced to the semi-finals, but the head coach rushed in and scolded them.

The reason for scolding them was because they didn't pass the ball to Hulay during the game.

But Hulai is a rookie who has almost zero foundation after joining the team and has to practice from scratch...... And didn't the head coach keep targeting Hulai before? What's going on today? Is it because Hulay scored a goal? But that ball was obviously hit by shit luck!

※※※

"I said Team Chu, even if you want to apologize to that kid, you should apologize in private. You apologized to him in front of so many people like this, don't you look good? Look at the last thing that kid did......"

At the end of the game and when he left the school, Yan Yan and Chu Yifan walked together, and he asked his doubts.

"I apologized to him in front of the whole team, just to show the rest of the team. This time it was indeed our problem, and the coach was right. Chu Yifan, who was riding a shared bicycle, said to Yan Yan. I also hope that everyone can pay attention to it, regardless of Hu Lai's level, he is a member of the school team after all. ”

Yan Yan frowned and said, "I just can't figure it out...... How did the coach's attitude towards Hulai turn one hundred and eighty degrees? Huh? He suddenly frowned, "I have an idea - do you think that in fact, our head coach has always been very optimistic about Hulai, so he deliberately treated him so viciously, just to hone him." That who has a saying that doesn't say that? "The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, and empty their bodies...... what else is coming? ”

"Acting chaotically is what it does, so it is tempting to endure it, and it has benefited what it can't." Chu Yifan continued. This is what Mencius said. It means that when God wants to befall a heavy responsibility on a person, he must first suffer in his heart, tire his muscles and bones, and endure hunger, so that he will suffer from poverty and make everything he does not go well. In order to make him tenacious and increase the abilities that he did not have before. ”

"Yes, yes, that's it! That's what I mean! "For the Chu team that can recite the whole text and translate, Yan Yan gave a thumbs up." Do you think our coach tortured Hulai like this because he wanted him to take on the big responsibility? If Hulai can get through it, it means that he has the ability......"

Chu Yifan turned his head to look at Yan Yan and said with a smile: "I think you think too much, the coach scolded us simply because we forgot the spirit of teamwork." Otherwise, what do you think the coach could do with Hulai? Did you lead our team to the national competition? ”

Yan Yan thought seriously and shook his head and said, "That's too exaggerated, it's up to Luo Kai to do this." The coach's last sentence today is right, in fact, we have been able to win so far, and it is really Luo Kai who relies on it. ”

Luo Kai sat on the bus, the road was lit up, the whole city was gradually entering the night, only the western sky still had some orange and yellow, it was the afterglow of the setting sun.

He stared at the neon streetscape outside the bus.

The moment when his shot hit the post was still replaying in my mind was repeated.

It was as if it had been made not on the goalpost, but in his face.

The goal he hit on the post ended up setting up for Hulay – according to the rules of the Anton Cup, a shot that hits the post and bounces back to the net with a team-mate's follow-up shot counts as an assist from the player who shot at the post.

He felt God's deep malice towards him.

Hulay's goal turned out to be his own assist! I personally won him a cheer!

Luo Kai, who was full of worries, didn't know how tempting his melancholy appearance was in the eyes of some girls on the bus.

He just stared out the window with a deep gaze and sighed faintly.

This scene broke the hearts of many girls.
