Chapter Ninety-Seven: I Don't Want to Go Home Yet

"Hurry up and get out the door! It's all assembled! "In the corridor of the dormitory building where Dongchuan Middle School lives, Yan Yan's loud voice sounded." Hurry up, hurry up! ”

He walked from room to room, shouting. If someone closes the door, he bangs it hard.

The thumping sound echoed through the hallway.

Someone opened the door and complained, "Don't rush! Good right away! ”

Someone shouted through the door, "I'm going to the bathroom!" ”

Others had already packed up, dressed in uniform tracksuits, carrying uniform sports bags, walked out of their rooms, and stood at the door waiting for other teammates to appear.

The mess in the corridor lasted for about ten minutes, and all the players from Dongchuan Middle School were already dressed and appeared in front of head coach Li Ziqiang.

"Okay, let's go." Li Ziqiang nodded, and a group of people poured out of the dormitory building in a hula.

Some people are longing, others are apprehensive, and some have serious expressions that are a little scary......

They are about to have their first race in the national competition.

When they arrived at the parking lot, Lin Jin was already waiting for them in front of their bus, and waved to them very enthusiastically.

However, there were not many people in Dongchuan Middle School who responded to her, except for Hu Lai, everyone else turned their attention to the other bus next to them.

A group of depressed peers dressed in uniform and carrying backpacks and suitcases are queuing up next to the bus to put their luggage.

It is a person from Garden High School.

After yesterday's opener, their journey to the national competition came to an end.

After losing the game, they were not in the mood to visit the capital, but arranged to return today.

Dozens of people gathered together, and there was no sound at all except the sound of walking footsteps and the rubbing of the wheels of the trunk on the ground.

This scene made the players of Dongchuan Middle School feel related.

If they lose to that Xizi Middle School, then tomorrow they will be here like this.

Chu Yifan took a deep breath, then turned around and said to his teammates, "Let's get in the car, hurry up, and go over to warm up and adapt to the venue." ”

After everyone got on the bus, the bus closed the door and quickly drove out of the parking lot.

And while they were leaving, the Garden High School players were still lining up to put their luggage.

The Dongchuan Middle School players on the bus were still watching them until they could no longer see the bus.

When Lin Jin saw them like this, she thought that they were frightened by the scene just now, so she was nervous, and she was about to get up to comfort and encourage these little players, when she saw that Chu Yifan had already stood up and walked towards her.

"Sister Lin, can you lend me the microphone of the bus?"

Chu Yifan said to her politely.

"Huh? Okay, no problem, you can use it. Saying that, Lin Jin handed him the microphone, and added, "It's already open, just say it directly." ”

"Thank you, Sister Lin." After Chu Yifan thanked him, he took the microphone, turned to his teammates in the car and said, "Everyone saw it just now, right?" That was the Garden High School, which was eliminated home in the first round. ”

No one spoke, and everyone sat up straight from their seats and looked up at the captain at the front.

"When we first arrived, we saw them in the cafeteria. I don't know if you've noticed, but I did, I paid attention to every team that came to the national tournament. At that time, everyone had a smile on their faces, and they were full of anticipation for the national competition. But now, it's useless to hope, and if you lose the game, you have to pack up and go home. I ask you, do you want to go back to Dongchuan tomorrow? ”

Hulai shouted, "I don't want to!! ”

As soon as he took the lead, the others shouted, "I don't want to!" We don't want to! ”

"I don't want to!" Chu Yifan said to them. "So we must defeat that Xizi Middle School! It's them, not us, who should go home! I know that it is the first time for you to participate in the national competition, so it is inevitable that you will be a little nervous, but when you are nervous, you should think about what you just saw in the parking lot, and you should think about it, will we also have to line up in the parking lot with our luggage at this time tomorrow? ”

Yan Yan jumped up and raised his arms and shouted, "Xizi Middle School!" ”

More people followed him and howled, "them!!" ”

Lin Jin looked at the excited Dongchuan Middle School players behind Chu Yifan in a daze, as if he didn't need her to comfort and encourage him at all......

Although the opening ceremony of the national competition was held at the Bird's Nest Stadium and the opening match was played there, it did not mean that all the national competitions would be held at the Bird's Nest.

All matches will be spread across other stadiums in the capital, especially the soccer stadiums of the universities.

The match between Dongchuan Middle School and Xizi Middle School was played in a university stadium in the capital.

Although it is a college football field, the scale is far less than that of a bird's nest, but the sparrows are small and have all kinds of organs. Stands, locker rooms, referee lounges and other facilities are available.

The stadium is open to the public, and anyone who goes through a simple security check can enter the stadium to watch the game, without the need to buy tickets and no vouchers.

And this is true not only for the first round, but also for all competitions in the national competition. Even if it is the final final, it is only a symbolic gift of tickets to some social groups or guests, the total number is not even 10,000, except for the seats reserved for the cheerleaders of both sides of the finals, the remaining seats are all vacant, reserved for anyone who wants to watch the game.

After all, the football game for middle school students is of a public welfare nature and cannot be operated commercially. There is no point in the organizing committee earning this ticket money.

So when the game between Dongchuan Middle School and Xizi Middle School started, there were already a lot of people sitting in the stands, and most of them were students from this university.

Many of them have been participants in the national competition themselves, and many of them have spent their three years of high school in the environment of the national competition, so it is natural that they will come to support the current national competition.

These people are neither fans of Dongchuan Middle School nor supporters of Xizi Middle School, and they are very neutral.

But because of this, no matter which team played well, it could win the cheers and applause of everyone in the stands, which made the atmosphere of this game very warm.

Right now, for example, there was a huge cheer from the stands.

"Wow! That No. 11 in Dongchuan Middle School is so strong! ”

"People are also handsome, and the side face that gets serious is really fascinating!"

"Hey, you're here to watch the ball or the people......"

"Everyone watches the ball, can't you!"

"In other words, is this Dongchuan Middle School really the first time to participate in the national competition? How is it so strong?! ”

"When I look at the people at Xizi Middle School, I feel stunned...... Suddenly there was some sympathy for them......"

There was a lot of talk and cheers in the stands.

On the field, the players from Xizi Middle School really felt like they were stunned, they stood still, let the players from Dongchuan Middle School run past them cheering, and then hugged their teammates who scored goals.

At the same time, the commentator of the match said, "This is Luo Kai's second goal in this game!" He dribbled forward quickly and scored a beautiful long-range shot! His goal also helped Dongchuan Middle School lead Xizi Middle School 3:0! With twenty-five minutes left before the end of the game, Xizi Middle School is in a very dangerous situation, and if they don't want to be eliminated in the first round again, then they need to hurry! ”

※※※

After Luo Kai's goal, the bench at Dongchuan High School was full of cheering and celebratory players, which meant their hopes of reaching the quarterfinals were greatly enhanced.

The team leader also stood up and applauded the team's performance.

As the head coach, Li Ziqiang did not participate in the celebration, but turned to the players on the bench.

Now that the team has a three-goal lead and there is not much time left until the end of the game, should we consider a substitution rotation to get more players up and feel the atmosphere of the national competition?

In the case of substitutions, there is a limit to the number of places, and the national competition stipulates that each team can only make a maximum of three substitutions per game.

And there are so many substitutes, who is going to go up?

Li Ziqiang's eyes fell on Hu Lai.

"Go warm up, Hulai!" He shouted.

Hulai threw down his teammates, who were still celebrating the goal, quickly put on his yellow vest, and ran like a rabbit to the warm-up area.

He knew he was going to play.
