Chapter Forty-Nine
At the end of the training, Zhang Qinghuan met Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei at the south gate again.
Seeing him, Hu Lai took the initiative to say: "Wang Guangwei wants to invite you to dinner, we ......"
Wang Guangwei glanced at Hu Lai in surprise.
Zhang Qinghuan didn't give him a chance to continue, and snorted: "I'm not interested." ”
With that, he walked past the two of them.
When Zhang Qinghuan walked away, Hu Lai complained: "Lao Wang, why don't you help me keep him, aren't you very good at marking people?" ”
Wang Guangwei's face was black: "What to stay?" Is this a stadium? Returning the ball to someone else...... Besides, Hulai, what the hell am I inviting to dinner? ”
"Oh, you know, I still owe 400,000 foreign debts......" Hulai quickly explained. Besides, didn't he say yes either, you have nothing to lose. ”
"Hey, you don't really want to change Zhang Qinghuan, do you? I'll tell you that even if you send him to 'Metamorphosis,' it's useless......"
Hu Lai glanced at Wang Guangwei, he couldn't tell this person that he was so interested in Zhang Qinghuan because he was greedy for the reward of the system task, right?
He could only stare at the direction where Zhang Qinghuan disappeared, gritted his teeth and said, "Lao Tzu is in trouble with him!" ”

Zhang Qinghuan was sitting in a taxi and received a call from Qin Lin, and the content of the call made him a little panicked.
"Qinghuan, are you free? Come to my house for a meal, right? Don't worry, no one else, just you. ”
Zhang Qinghuan showed a very painful look on his face, and struggled to say, "This ...... Ringo, I'm home......"
When the taxi driver heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Qinghuan in the rearview mirror.
"And Brother Lin, you need to recuperate now, so you can rest...... I'll come to see you next time......"
The other end of the phone was silent for a while and then said, "Okay, you can rest well, don't go to those places." ”
"I know, Ringo. Then I'll hang up......"
Zhang Qinghuan hung up the phone, leaned on the back of the seat, and sighed silently.
He knew what Qin Lin was going to do when he called him.
He didn't want to go.
He didn't know how to face Qin Lin, and he didn't know how he should react when Qin Lin said those words.
So simply don't go.
Qin Lin looked down at his phone, shook his head, and then said to his wife, "Don't prepare, he won't come." ”
Wang Yuan said "oh" for a moment, and then frowned and said, "Old Qin, don't meddle with things......"
"I just regret that I didn't meddle in the first place." Qin Lin shook his head.
Seeing this, his wife had no choice but to stop talking.

Before training the next day, Hu Lai blocked Zhang Qinghuan at the south gate again.
As a result, Zhang Qinghuan had just entered the south gate, and after seeing him, he turned around and ran out......
Then I ran half a lap around the Liucheng training base, and I didn't react until I was halfway through - why should I run? It scared me like he did......
But now the people have run out, and they have run halfway, whether they turn back or go directly to the north gate, the distance is about the same.
And what if he turns back, and the kid is still waiting for him?
Thinking of this, Zhang Qinghuan had no choice but to continue to move forward and enter the training base from the main gate in the north.
When everyone looked at Zhang Qinghuan who walked in out of breath in the locker room, it was very strange.
However, with their relationship with Zhang Qinghuan, no one went back to ask him why he looked so embarrassed.
However, Wang Guangwei later got the answer from Hu Lai.
"Look at how you've forced people...... Do you know why Zhang Qinghuan usually takes the south gate instead of the north gate? Wang Guangwei said to him, "There is a parking lot at the north gate, which is the gate where most players enter and exit, and there are the most fans gathered there, compared to the south gate, there are much fewer people." As a result, in order to avoid you, Zhang Qinghuan ran all the way from the south gate to the north gate......"
"You can't blame me for that, can you? I just wanted to have a good talk with him. Hulay spread his hands.
"Don't talk about it, there will be no results, it's a waste of time."
"Even if it doesn't work out, it's fun to see him so embarrassed......" Hu Lai couldn't tell Wang Guangwei his true reason, so he could only go sideways.
After Wang Guangwei listened to Hu Lai's answer, he didn't feel disobedient at all, but he felt that this was Hu Lai's real purpose, and it was because he was unhappy that Zhang Qinghuan squandered his talent so much, so he teased him.
This guy is so cheap......
※※※
Before the third day of training, Hulai was still at the south gate waiting for the badgers...... No, it's "Huan".
But this time, he never waited for Zhang Qinghuan.
In the end, Wang Guangwei called him, and he learned that Zhang Qinghuan was already in the locker room......
I don't know if I came in from the north gate, or if I arrived earlier than all of them...... Anyway, as soon as Wang Guangwei arrived in the locker room, he saw Zhang Qinghuan and hurriedly called Hu Lai.
When Zhang Qinghuan saw Hu Lai walking into the locker room with a chagrined face, he knew that this kid was waiting for him at the south gate......
He resisted the urge to roll his eyes - how can a person be so cheap?
He further wondered if the fans who were waiting outside the training base for Hulay to sign autographs and take pictures with them knew that the idol they worshipped was actually a slut? If you know this, will you still like him?
※※※
On the fourth day, Hu Lai went to the north gate to wait for Zhang Qinghuan.
As a result, Zhang Qinghuan finally got rid of those female fans, entered the training base, and saw Hu Lai as soon as he looked up.
Then the two of them started a one-on-one offensive and defensive battle without a football in full view of everyone - Zhang Qinghuan suddenly ran to the left, and Hu Lai also pressed up.
Next, Zhang Qinghuan changed direction to the right, and Hu Lai also changed direction.
When he was close to Zhang Qinghuan, Hu Lai stretched out his hand to pull the latter, but he dodged and dodged. And Zhang Qinghuan just took the opportunity to speed up and get rid of Hu Lai.
Then run to the small building where the first team's dressing room is located.
This scene made head coach Zhao Kangming and assistant coach Chen Mo watch it from a distance.
"What are they doing?" Zhao Kangming frowned.
Hu Lai was about to catch up, when he heard the head coach Chen Modi shouting from the side: "Hu Lai! ”
He had to look at the team's assistant coach and see that he was hooking his hand at himself: "Come here!" ”
After he ran to Chen Mo and Zhao Kangming, Chen Mo asked him, "What are you doing with Zhang Qinghuan?" ”
"This ...... I'd like to talk to Zhang Qinghuan. Hulay replied honestly.
"What are you talking to him about? What do you two have to talk about? Conflicted? Chen Mo frowned and asked three times.
"No, no......" Hu Lai quickly shook his head, "I just want to persuade him...... I see that our team is not missing an offensive playmaker now? If Zhang Qinghuan can play normally, won't this problem be solved? ”
When Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo heard Hu Lai say this, the two of them glanced at each other, and then Chen Mo said to him with a blank face: "Where do you need to worry about this kind of thing?" Are you a coach, or are we coaches? Hurry back to the locker room, get ready for training, and don't mess with these moths! ”
"Okay, okay......" Hulai quickly turned around and ran away.
Looking at his back, Chen Mo shook his head: "This kid! What does he think, he really thinks he can do things that no one else can do? ”
Zhao Kangming smiled and said, "The mind is still very good." ”
"It's just nosy!" Chen Mo glared at his old superior, "Don't get used to him." ”
"Sometimes I think, Old Chen. Expect a little more from this kid, and hell knows what surprises he can bring us......"
"It could also be a fright."
"Hah!" Zhao Kangming laughed, "You're right, Zhang Qinghuan is not something he should manage." ”

At the end of the day, there were two days left before the competition.
Traditionally, the manager will announce the 18-man squad at this time.
Why was the list announced two days before the game? Because the 18 people who were selected for the squad the day before the game could not go home, they had to live in the dormitory of the training base for the home game, and they had to stay in the away hotel for the away game.
If the list is announced in front of us, then the players who have been selected for this squad will not have time to go home and pack their things, so should they go to the away stadium with their hands in their pockets?
So the list was announced two days in advance, and the selected players went back today to pack their things and bring them directly to training tomorrow.
After training, follow the team directly to the airport, or live in the dormitory of the training base, which is convenient for management.
After everyone finished stretching on the training ground, they gathered and waited for the manager to announce the roster.
If it had been before, this time would have been very much worth looking forward to.
The team has good results, and everyone hopes to be selected for the 18-man squad, after all, only if they are selected for this list, they will have the opportunity to play.
The number of appearances is related to bonuses and contracts – in some players' contracts it is stipulated how many times they must be made in order to be eligible for a new contract at a certain annual salary.
But lately, people have not been very enthusiastic about making the eighteen-man roster.
Because the team's performance has deteriorated, losing three games in a row, the pressure to change who will play is not small. Especially in a home game, how embarrassing is it to be applauded by your own fans if you don't play well?
And the day after tomorrow, the shining star is playing at home.
Everyone has their own agenda, but Zhang Qinghuan has a sense of detachment from the situation - although the team lacks a playmaker in midfield, he doesn't think he will get his chance. Because if there is a chance, it will not be two games after Qin Lin was injured, and he has not been selected into the eighteen-man squad......
He believed that Director Zhao should have given up on him completely.
As for him, he is just waiting for the loan to expire and return to Tenglong......
Just then, he heard someone calling his name.
"Zhang Qinghuan."
He looked up and saw that his teammates in front of him were all looking back at him, their eyes full of surprise, and he looked back in confusion - he didn't understand why his name was called.
"The above are the eighteen people who were selected for this competition, bring their personal belongings when they come to train tomorrow, and we will live directly in the training base at night."
Zhao Kangming announced the disbandment amid the shocked eyes of the players and the irrepressible whispers.
When almost all players leave the training ground, they will turn their heads to look at Zhang Qinghuan.
And Zhang Qinghuan was unaware of these eyes, he stood on the field in a daze, until he was the only one left in this training ground.
