Chapter 92: The End of the Ford Cup (5)

Yi Fan was startled by the cold voice. Looking back, it was an old gentleman in a formal suit who spoke.

"Hello, who are?"

"I'm a staff member of the organizers, please don't leave yet, and I'll participate in the award ceremony later."

"There is still a reward for fourth place?"

Everyone looked at each other, they thought the game was over, but they didn't expect this kind of benefit.

"Otherwise, you can stay here and wait a little longer, and I'll take your two friends up to the store and pick one. You'll come back later when you're done. Robert said.

At the same time, the staff of the venue are also in full swing to set up the podium. They brought out the podium and flowers and ornaments that had been prepared early in the morning, and decorated them in a proper manner.

Afterwards, Mr. Fox, the organizer of the event, walked up to the podium to present awards to the winning teams.

They finished fourth and didn't stand a chance of getting on the podium. I can only stand on the sidelines and watch the dazzling figure of the victor on the stage.

"Next time, I must win it." Connor said reluctantly.

The three Aruru brothers also clenched their fists.

Failure does not mean the end, but a new beginning.

Although they didn't make it to the podium, they were still rewarded. A certificate and $2,000 in prize money, and not only that, but they also got the right to attend the gala.

Yi Fan couldn't believe his ears, attending the party meant being able to see well-known football stars, which was the main purpose of their trip.

"Great! Meet the Stars! ”

"I didn't think that the fourth place would be able to participate!"

Looking at the cheering figures of the young players, Yifan once again found the old gentleman of the organizer to confirm, and the reply was: "The boss said that the top four teams are eligible to participate in the party."

"What is the maximum number of people who can attend the party?" Yi Fan asked with some apprehension. Such a rare event, if only everyone could participate.

The old gentleman took out a small notebook from his chest, looked at it a few times, and said, "The other teams are all 12 people, and you can only have 12 people at most." ”

After the award ceremony, Yi Fan ran to Robert's store with a group of little guys, and he was here for the first time.

Robert's shop is on the third floor, and there are quite a few shops in the area dedicated to rugby supplies, and they all look tall.

However, since it was the first time it opened, many stores had large discounts, and there were a variety of billboards with great discounts.

"Wow, this is the coach's shop, it looks so handsome!"

Connor couldn't help but sigh when he saw Robert's shop.

Three connected shops, lots of lights and floor-to-ceiling glass, stocked with a variety of helmets, sneakers and clothes.

Seeing Yi Fan and them coming, Robert hurriedly greeted the guest and gave him a strong hug.

"How's the two of you going? Got it? Yi Fan asked.

Matthews and Barkley shook the bags in their hands, looking satisfied.

"The owner is very nice and gives a great discount on everything, which is great." Matthews laughed and said that after buying a few sets of clothes, only a third of the budget was left.

Barkley didn't speak much, but his mood seemed to be much better. After listening to Robert's explanation, he knew that he was a little wrong and blamed Yi Fan.

"Would you like to go to the party together tonight and meet the NFL stars?" Yifan invited and said. Although they are already college students, their admiration for football stars is not much different from that of junior high school students. After all, it's not easy to see a star.

Because there were only 12 people attending the party, Robert smiled and refused: "I'll forget it, I know a lot of Lions players, so I'll leave this opportunity to you little fresh meat." ”

In addition to Robert, there are seven players on the team, plus five of them, exactly 12 people. Barkley didn't have much interest, but at the instigation of Matthews and Yi Fan, he could only agree.

The party was held in a western restaurant in the sports complex, in addition to a sumptuous buffet dinner, there were also a variety of game activities.

Shortly after dinner, Fox walked in with a few players. This is the most anticipated moment. However, everyone looked at it, and there were no stars Abdullah and Stafford, not even a starter, all of them were players in the second or third positions.

Although these people are placed on an ordinary court, they are also fierce generals above 10,000 people under one person, but the league is so cruel, and there are many masters, even the most powerful players are usually difficult to stand out on this stage.

Yifan They are okay, but many young players are not happy, and their faces of unhappiness and disappointment are directly written on their faces, and the atmosphere is very embarrassing for a while.

"Cut, what kind of star meeting, that's it."

"It's disappointing, garbage."

In the face of such a bad atmosphere, Fox acted as if he didn't know what to do, and still said with a smile: "Please invite our Lions players!" Please applaud and welcome, and please keep order if you take pictures and shake hands. ”

At the same time, a magnificent symphony sounded, and the lights flickered.

The problem is that the young players at the bottom don't buy it, and they are embedded in the ground like stone Buddhas, which makes Fox and the bench players a little unsure of where to hang it.

Yi Fan saw that Connor was not interested, and he understood their feelings of loss, but he knew that as the leader of the team, he should do something at this time.

He pointed to one of the substitute wide receivers and said with a look of surprise:

"Ahh Conigrates! Oh my God, it's him! In the Christmas game, he made that 40-yard catch at the last minute, pushed the game into the red zone, and finally had Abdullah's stunner game! It's so handsome! ”

Hearing him say this, Connor and in retrospect, it seemed that there was indeed such a thing.

"And the lineback Stirongo! A drop in the fourth quarter disrupted the Hawks' rhythm! It's so handsome! I'm going to have to get them to get an autograph. Seeing that Yifan had made a good start, Wang Yang also said.

At their instigation, the atmosphere has eased considerably. The Robert training camp team took the lead in shaking hands and taking a group photo.

The Lions and Eagles played a very close Christmas game, and the score was chasing each other, with ups and downs, which left a deep impression.

Because the game was so intense, many players, including the substitutes, had their highlight moments. Although there are too many important moments after the game, the brilliant moments of the substitutes are easy to forget. But once it's brought up, it's immediately recalled.

Nice was still hanging in bandages on one hand and holding a football ball in the other to sign for Conigrates, much to Graty's relief.

Driven by them, other teams also came forward, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
