The third day of the national competition was also the first day of the official start of the national competition.

After eating in the cafeteria at noon, we took a break and went to the parking lot to gather and take the bus.

Their destination is the Bird's Nest Stadium, which is not far away.

In fact, it is a ten-minute walk from the Olympic Village to the Bird's Nest. However, in order to show their attention, all the players had to go by car.

It's also easy to manage.

Otherwise, in the ten-minute journey, some people walk fast, some people walk slowly, and they can't find anyone halfway through, so that passers-by can see the long snake formation of the contestants dragging and procrastinating, which is really too undignified......

So it was "one more move" and let everyone take the car.

In the car, the players from Dongchuan Middle School saw their "tour guide sister" Lin Jin again.

Seeing the players, Lin Jin was also very happy, with a smiling face that was extremely bright, "Everyone looks very energetic, that's right!" It seems that everyone has lived well in the Olympic Village for the past two days, right? When you arrive at the place for a while, you must listen to my command, don't run around, there is no rehearsal part of our entrance ceremony, so we must succeed at the first time...... Of course, you don't have to be nervous, just follow the team in front of you into the field, walk past the rostrum, and then go around to the court...... Rest assured, there is a young lady of etiquette in front of each team to show you the way......"

Chu Yifan put the neatly folded team flag on his knees, stroked his hands lightly, and listened to Lin Jin tell the process very intently.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, he will unfurl this banner in front of the television broadcast camera, in front of the tens of thousands of spectators in the audience, and in front of those leaders and colleagues.

Since entering high school, he has been dreaming the same dream every year, that is, he has represented Dongchuan Middle School in the national competition.

It wasn't until the third year of high school that the dream came true.

And this is thanks to the two freshman students in high school.

Thinking of this, he set his eyes on Luo Kai and Hu Lai.

One was wearing headphones and swiping his mobile phone, and the other was chatting happily with Mao Xiao and Meng Xi, but the car was too noisy for him to hear clearly.

Chu Yifan had also secretly observed in the past two days, and he didn't find any traces on Hu Lai and Luo Kai's faces, and the two of them were no different from when they were in the team......

It seems that we get along fairly happily, and there are no conflicts.

Thinking of this, Chu Yifan, as the captain, was much more relieved.

He was afraid that the two of them would have a conflict in the dormitory, which would make everyone panic and affect the team's performance in the national competition.

Now it seems that the two of them still have a general understanding......

In other words, in fact, the contradiction between the two people is not as exaggerated as Yan Yan said, what "one mountain does not allow two tigers", what "the king does not see the king"......

Alas, speaking of Yan Yan, there are so many thoughts in his head all day, and I don't know if it will be reassuring to hand over the captain's armband to him after he graduates.

Can this person really be as calm as himself?

"Hey, Team Chu, what do you want?" Chu Yifan was thinking about Yan Yan, so Yan Yan came up and hugged his neck.

"I miss you." Chu Yifan gave him a roll of his eyes.

"Wow, you're still thinking about me at this time? I don't know that Team Chu turned out that you ...... me "Yan Yan was shocked.

"!"

Yan Yan laughed and said, "Team Chu, don't get distracted, when the time comes, you will walk in front of the rostrum and forget to wave the flag, we will come here for nothing......"

"Die, we're not here to wave the flag......"

Chu Yifan was talking when suddenly someone in the carriage exclaimed

"Look, Bird's Nest!"

Everyone's eyes were on the car window, and sure enough, the famous stadium stood under the blue sky and white clouds.

Today's weather is beautiful, and the stadium is exceptionally beautiful in the afternoon sun.

On the square outside the stadium, flagpoles were erected, all of which were propaganda flags for the 6th National High School Football Championship.

A dense crowd was walking under the flags and toward the stadium – all fans who had come to watch the opening ceremony and the opening game.

Hulai was almost lying on the window, looking greedily at everything outside the window.

Magnificent stadiums, flags fluttering in the wind, event mascots played by humans, satellite broadcast vans, police officers in charge of security...... And the fans who poured into the stadium.

Some of them are middle school students of the same age as themselves, some are parents with children, and some are even gray-haired elderly people......

How could a football match of middle school students come to watch so many people in the world before him?

To have a thousand people in the stands is a big scene.

Maybe the stories that happened in this world before are the same as the world he wears, but now the world is trying to change those old and rotten things, they have moved the cake of many people, they have the courage to be fearless, they have a long-term plan, and they have the determination to stick to it......

It's an amazing world!

When Chu Yifan led the team past the rostrum, he vigorously waved the flagpole in his hand forward.

With this action, the flag that he was holding in his hand was thrown away, arced in the air, bypassed the flagpole, and finally hung down and was unfolded in the camera lens.

The sunlight shines through the yellow silk flag, making the four big characters of "Dongchuan Middle School" very conspicuous.

At the same time, on the TV, the host of Capital Satellite TV said with emotion, "Now it's the Dongchuan Middle School football team!" From Dongcheon City, Andong Province! In last year's qualifiers, they defeated Jiaxiang High School, a football powerhouse in Jincheng, and qualified to represent Andong High School Football in the national competition, which was also their first time participating in the national competition! ”

There were huge cheers from the stands, and the people of the capital gave the warmest applause and cheers to every team that came to participate in the national competition, showing the friendship of the hosts.

The old principal Zhai Guangming was sitting in his office, the door had been locked by him, and the TV hanging on the wall was playing the live broadcast of the opening ceremony of the sixth national high school football championship.

Seeing the Dongchuan Middle School player walking by with his head held high in front of the camera, he also laughed, and then his eyes drifted to the metal plaque hanging in front of the other side.

Under the sunlight outside the window, the words on the plaque are still clear despite the weather, and it is obvious that they are well cared for.

It is hereby awarded to Dongchuan Middle School

The honorary title of "Football Tradition Strong School".

National Association of Secondary School Students

1995.05

After walking to the rostrum, the players of Dongchuan Middle School followed Miss Manners to the place where they belonged on the court and stood still, waiting for the other teams to finish.

This was followed by the leader's speech.

Change the leader and then speak.

The leader said, "I'll say the last two sentences."

The leader said, "It contains the following three points."

The leader said, "I wish this competition a complete success!" ”

The players on the pitch applauded and applauded desperately. The slap was red, and I didn't know whether my face was excited or sunburned, and it was red.

Amid cheers and whistles, the balloon boxes that had been prepared long ago were opened, and countless colorful balloons flew into the sky, like festive flowers.

The 6th National High School Football Championship was officially opened.

※※※

After the opening ceremony, each team did not return to the Olympic Village, but went directly to the stands and took their seats in the specially reserved area to enjoy the simple cultural performances that followed, as well as the opening match after the cultural performances.

The home team will play against the People's High School in Nam Han City, Viet Chau Province.

Renmin Middle School ranked fifth in the last competition, while Garden High School ranked 26th, and the difference in strength between the two sides is as huge as this ranking, so there should be no suspense.

In the cheers of the home fans, the People's Middle School from the capital took the initiative and formed a siege on the Garden High School.

In the first half, the People's Middle School took a two-goal lead, and in the second half, it had no idea of staying strong, and continued to bombard the penalty area of Garden High School.

Let the fans of the capital in the stands be excited.

This is the first time Hulai has watched a national competition, and he has never seen it even on the Internet, let alone being in the field before.

The atmosphere and the match between the two sides on the field made him feel something completely different from the Anton Cup.

If he is still shocked that the Anton Cup can play at the Provincial Sports Center and Jiaxiang High School has its own cheerleading team, then it is too small to come to the national competition......

In the end, both sides scored another goal in the second half, and Renmin Middle School defeated Huayuan High School 3:1.

And this is the end of the national competition of Garden High School.

Looking at the players of Garden High School who were crying on the court, the players of Dongchuan Middle School were quiet one by one.

They remembered what Mao Xiao had said about last year's national competition, and the tragic situation after the defending champion Chongwen Middle School was eliminated by Shuguang High School in the first round.

At that time, just listening to Mao Xiao, I thought that the picture must be very tragic, but now that I see the actual picture, everyone is still greatly impacted.

Think about the players of Garden High School, they must have broken through many obstacles in the qualifiers in their province, defeated one opponent after another, and finally came here with the expectations of high school football in the province.

As a result, he was eliminated on the first day of the opening ceremony......

Tomorrow they will pack their bags and go home.

For them, the national competition is so short that it really feels like a dream.

Everyone in the audience gave a round of applause to the Garden High School, which was eliminated.

The players of Garden High School supported each other and lined up to thank the spectators in the stands with tears in their eyes......

"It's cruel......," someone at Dongchuan Middle School muttered.

For the players of Dongchuan Middle School, who participated in the national competition for the first time, this scene was really shocking.

At the opening ceremony, they were all looking forward to their future in the national competition, but now, they have also seen the cruelty of the national competition.

The single-elimination system does not allow any team to make mistakes, and the winner or loser determines the fate of the team for a year.

Will we be like Garden High School? Someone thought uneasily.

Some people think no, I don't want to be like them!
