Chapter 42: Betting
On January 26, the last friendly match before the league, Bochum hosted Paderborn, this time the opponent was the same as Cologne before, and it was also their rival in the Bundesliga, currently ranked eleven, not up or down, no hope of promotion, no relegation worries.
In terms of rankings alone, Paderborn is stronger than Bochum, but the two teams have already met twice this season, with one win and one defeat each, and they are temporarily equal.
The first was on August 11 last year, when Paderborn beat Bochum 4-0 at home; The second was on 16 December last year, when Bochum beat Paderborn 4-0 at home.
Now they don't have a game in the league anymore, that's why there is such a friendly game.
The match took place at 1 p.m. and ended up losing 2-1 to Bochum, with striker Ortega scoring the goal.
Shen Peng still got a ten-minute chance to play in the second half, but this time he didn't have a brilliant performance, he could only be regarded as decent, and on the whole it was much better than the previous trial.
……
A day later, in the evening, Shen Peng took some time to find Xibeier and complete the task of sparring table tennis once a week.
To Shen Peng's surprise, Xibeier seems to be quite talented in table tennis, and now he has only played with Xibeier three times in total, and her progress has been obvious, from the beginning of the powerless, to the current occasional back and forth.
For example, the first time it was 11 to 3 that night, the second time it was 11 to 3, 2 games were 11 to 5, 1 games were 11 to 4, and this time it was 11 to 6.
"You're progressing so fast, I may not be your match in a few more times." Shen Peng put down the paddle and said.
"Hehe, it's better for you to find a sparring partner. I found that I didn't raise my level because the people I played with were too low; But you're different, and when I practice with you, I learn a lot of new things. ”
Xibeier also put down the racket, took a towel and wiped her sweat, she is not like Shen Peng, she has been sweating a little after three games of table tennis, "As for surpassing you, it's still early!" After all, I learned from you, and if you want to surpass you, you have to find someone stronger than you to practice with. ”
"Then how did you practice to be the first in the club when you didn't have an opponent before?" Shen Peng smiled when he heard this.
Xibeier was stunned when she heard this, usually she said others dumbfounded, but she didn't know how to respond to Shen Peng's words.
"Okay, it's almost over today, I'll come back next week." Shen Peng put down his racket and prepared to leave.
"Wait!" Hibel suddenly shouted.
"What's the matter?" Shen Peng turned his head.
"The videos I found on the Internet are all competition videos, and I can't learn them at all, can you help me find some basic teaching videos?"
Shen Peng thought something was wrong, and immediately replied, "Okay, no problem." ”
In his memory, there should be a lot of such videos in China.
After saying goodbye to Xibeier, Shen Peng prepared to go back to the dormitory.
Since there was also a football field between his dormitory and the table tennis hall, he had to walk through the court when he went back.
"Shen Peng!"
Hearing someone call himself, Shen Peng looked at the place where the voice came from, and there was a big man standing there.
"Drura? Are you looking for something with me? ”
"Stay away from Hibel in the future." Because Drura had his back to the light, Shen Peng couldn't see the other party's expression clearly, but he could imagine that the expression would not be smiling.
"If you tell me to stay away from her, will I stay away from her, why?" Shen Peng's anger also came up, regardless of whether the other party was pursuing Xibeier or not.
"With this!" Drura waved his fist and slowly walked towards Shen Peng with an oppressive momentum, he remembered that the man next to Xibeier last time, he was so frightened that he immediately promised not to appear next to Xibeier, and the kid in front of him, it is estimated that the reaction will be similar!
However, when he walked up to Shen Peng, although Shen Peng was not as tall as him, he just looked at him with his head held high, and his eyes didn't blink.
The two looked at each other like this, and after a long time, Drula said word by word: "Very good, there is a kind!" ”
Of course, he couldn't really do it, so now that Shen Peng is like this, there is nothing he can do.
"Boy, since you're so kind, why don't we make a bet?" Drura said suddenly.
"What bet?" Shen Peng asked, it's okay to bet, but he wants to hear what the bet is, and he won't rush to agree.
'We're both midfielders, so that's more than which of us will score more goals in the league from now on! Do you dare? ”
Drura has a good calculation: he is currently the main force, and Shen Peng is a substitute, there is a huge gap in playing time, under normal circumstances, Shen Peng will not agree, but he knows that Shen Peng has a long-range shooting ability, so Shen Peng will most likely agree to his bet on impulse; In the German Second Division, as long as this kind of long-range shot is used once or twice, the opponent will pay attention to defense, and Shen Peng's own strength is not good, so he can score two or three goals at most in the league.
As for himself, he is confident that he can score five goals in the next dozen rounds, and in this way, he will be sure to win.
"What's the stake?" Shen Peng didn't immediately refuse or agree, but asked.
Drura had a joy in his eyes, "If I win, then you get out of here; If you win, I'll get out of here. ”
He originally wanted Shen Peng to keep his distance from Xibeier, but he also learned that Xibeier took the initiative to find Shen Peng, so it was useless to keep a distance, and the only way to let Shen Peng leave here forever was the best way.
"What if we score the same goal?" Shen Peng asked.
"Then you win, okay?" Drura seemed to have expected Shen Peng to ask this.
"Okay, I'm fine."
Drura was overjoyed when she heard this, Shen Peng really agreed, in this way, in just half a year, he could get rid of this damn guy.
"Hey...... Then I'll wish you the best of luck. Drura received an affirmative answer and left satisfied.
"Than a goal? Interesting. ”
Shen Peng looked at Drura's back and whispered.
When I returned to the dormitory, I habitually turned on my mobile phone and looked through the messages sent by Zhu Xian.
"Barcelona beat Osasuna 5-1 today, Messi scored three alone, he is amazing! Pep Guardiola is also a great coach, but unfortunately he will go to Bayern Munich at the end of this season. ”
"If you are as good as Messi in the future, it is estimated that you will become a star in Europe, I don't know if I can see this day."
Shen Peng replied: "Okay, okay, I know he's amazing." By the way, can you help me find a teaching video about table tennis, it's not convenient for me to get on the domestic Internet. ”
After the message was successfully sent, he put down his phone and began to wash and rest......
