Chapter 28: Into Spring City
Guan Xiaolong and the Lions completed the contract renewal, and Cao Jie immediately fulfilled his promise, and the salary plan was launched immediately, without waiting for Guan Xiaolong's original contract to expire.
Now Xiaolong is cool, ho!
After renewing his contract with the club and being called up by the national youth team, Guan Xiaolong felt that he was already at the top of his life. Of course, don't be so pompous, where is this?
People are in good spirits at happy events, Guan Xiaolong is in full state when he competes, and life is really full of rhythm!
However, since the end of the game against Guangzhou Green Spring, the Lions players seem to be discouraged. After winning Green Spring, the emotions of the players were like a roller coaster to the top, and the state suddenly relaxed.
Head coach Li Ming expected this to happen, strengthened the team's defensive depth, and actively adjusted the mentality of the players. But this is a common problem of young teams, immature and not tenacious enough.
Next up is the home game against the CD Buffaloes, which is a battle for points between the third and fourth places. However, the Lions were equalized by the Buffaloes after scoring the first goal, and only one point was picked up at home. Guan Xiaolong gave an assist.
A week later, the Lions traveled to Hangzhou to play against Zhejiang Construction. The Lions played well in this game, and the offensive end was very good. But Zhejiang Construction is also very tough, the two sides drew 2-2, Guan Xiaolong scored one goal, and Xue Hang scored another goal. Thankfully, the Buffaloes were in the gutter at home, and the Lions were able to breathe.
After two consecutive draws, Li Ming severely criticized the players and organized a peeling meeting. A video replay of several games with poor performances was carefully analysed for all the goals conceded and the attacking disadvantage. What's more important is to explain the current situation in the standings, and warn the players not to think that it is okay to mix in the fourth knockout round, but to try to win and maintain the mentality of winning. If you have the luck mentality that you can only make it to the knockout rounds, the team will not go far.
Li Ming was also in pain at this time, the main team was injured, and the defense was a little unstable. But he also firmly believes that a strong team should not be able to function properly without a certain player. Therefore, he is also strict with the substitute central defender Lin Chen and left winger Liu Jin.
On July 3, at home against Suzhou Fun Pool, the Lions successfully rebounded and defeated the opponent 3-0, giving the Suzhou team 4 consecutive defeats. Guan Xiaolong scored 1 goal and 1 assist, and Ding Li and Xue Hang scored one each.
After this game, the Lions accumulated 25 points and were able to retain third place in the league. The first place in the ranking is still Guangzhou Green Spring, since the loss to the Lions, Green Spring has won 4 and drawn 1 in the next 5 games, accumulating 31 points to continue to maintain its strength. Although the Xiangtao team lost two games, it still ranked second with 27 points.
After the match on July 3, the second division will take a one-month hiatus. After Guan Xiaolong said a brief goodbye to his teammates, he rushed to Spring City to participate in the training camp of the national youth team.
Originally, Father Guan insisted on sending Xiaolong over, but Guan Xiaolong said that it was just a training camp, just like when he went to Lushi from his hometown, don't let Father Guan follow. Dad is honest with a farmer, and maybe I'll have to take care of him when I get there.
In this way, Guan Xiaolong set off.
Guan Xiaolong, who was on a plane for the first time, felt miserable, his eardrums seemed to be about to explode, and he was not happy.
I went, and I didn't feel so bad when I was attached to Da Luo in the side quest! How do you feel that other people's planes are so quiet? I'm going to be booming, I'm going to be deaf.
Seeing Guan Xiaolong's embarrassed face, the beautiful empty sister hurriedly came over to guide.
"Open your mouth as much as you can, and yawn. Then swallow your saliva and swallow hard. Do it with me. "The beautiful empty sister opened her mouth, yawned, swallowed, and did it all in one go.
Guan Xiaolong was still very uncomfortable at first, but after using Sister Kong's method, it was much better. What's more, Guan Xiaolong enjoyed the beautiful empty sister like this in front of him, hehe......
"Is that how you yawn? How to swallow? Alas, it's so hard! Guan Xiaolong's expression was still painful, pure and innocent, but he continued to ask shamelessly.
"So, open your mouth a little wider." Sister Kong did it patiently, and Guan Xiaolong slowly realized it.
"Oh...... Really, it's so much more comfortable! Guan Xiaolong exhaled.
"When the plane is about to land, the air pressure in the cabin will be unstable, so the eardrums will react a little. According to the method I just said, if there is any uncomfortable reaction, press this light and call me. Sister Kong's voice was sweet.
"Uh-huh!" Guan Xiaolong's heart is incomparably silvery.
After getting off the plane and saying goodbye to the beautiful air sister, Guan Xiaolong walked out of the airport.
"The meeting place address is in ...... Peace Hotel. Guan Xiaolong took out the call letter and looked at the address.
Spring City is known as the four seasons like spring, and after coming, I found that it really deserved its name! This is to be in the city of Egret, July and August days can be hot individuals. It was almost 8 o'clock when Guan Xiaolong landed, and it was more than 6 o'clock local time, and the sun had not yet set. However, it is clear that the temperature here is much cooler than in Heron City.
It's so late, and he is not familiar with life, Guan Xiaolong is worried about how to go.
took the airport bus out to the city, Guan Xiaolong casually found a stop and came down. This temperature is so comfortable! The urban greening of Spring City is particularly good, and it has a fight with my hometown. Walking on such a road, I feel better, and it is really a healing street.
Suddenly, I saw a motorcycle coming to my face, hehe, this is down-to-earth. Ask Mo Shu Huang directly, he must know how to get to the Peace Hotel.
After some inquiry, Mo Di Shu said with a smile: "I know about the Peace Hotel, I'll take you there, 50 yuan." ”
When Guan Xiaolong heard it, I'm damn it, grab the money!? Shu Xiao, don't you know that my hometown is a paradise for Mo, and I have been very good at bargaining since I was a child?
Guan Xiaolong turned his head and left, reaching out to recruit other motorcycles, of course, there were no other cars on the road at this time.
This Shu millet hurriedly shouted: "Give you 10 yuan cheaper, it's not easy to take a taxi so late." ”
Guan Xiaolongtou didn't reply, and said, "10 yuan to go." ”
Mo's Shu is dumb, knowing that he is blindly bidding, thinking that children are easy to deceive? Especially the little ones out of town!
"15, let's go!" Mo Di Shu millet deliberately pretended to be impatient.
Guan Xiaolong put the bag down and sat on the stone pier ignoring the Mo Xiao.
"Let's go, 10 bucks!" Mo Di Shu millet compromised.
Guan Xiaolong slowly picked up his bag and walked towards Mo. I thought that Shu Huang was not authentic, and deceived me as a successor of communism, and actually offered 50! The oil cylinder of my dad's abalone car must be bigger than yours, and it only costs 60 yuan to refuel once, and it can run 500 kilometers! Even if you make some money, you can't be so cheating.
Guan Xiaolong got into the car and drove towards the Peace Hotel.
Mo's Shu Huang is quite talkative, completely forgetting about what he just said, and chatting with Guan Xiaolong.
In fact, this Mo Shu Huang is not a local, he came from other places to work. The two chatted while talking, and when it came to the excitement, Mo Di Shu Huang actually took out the flow slip he went to the bank to complain that his banknotes were missing.
and so on! Uncle, are you serious about driving?
The Mo is back in shape, drive well. Guan Xiaolong sighed: "Hurry up and change your card, these unlucky people choke on water." ”
Mo Di Shu was waiting for the green light, but when he saw that the green light was on, he just turned the accelerator when a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of him.
"Ahh Mo's Shu Huang struggled to hold the front of the car, Guan Xiaolong was clever, and jumped out of the car decisively. The motorcycle leaned on the side of the road.
Guan Xiaolong looked at it fixedly, it was a sturdy young man who was almost hit.
The man wasn't hurt, but he was scared enough. Turning around to leave, he scolded: "What kind of bird car is driving with a pen!" ”
How can Mo Shu Huang endure it, run a red light and cause me to fall, you dare to scold me?
"TM, you ran a red light and don't want to live anymore?" Mo Shu scolded loudly.
When the young man heard this, he immediately turned around, and the expression on his face looked very hideous in the dim light.
"Who are you talking about?" The strong guy stepped forward and lifted the Shu millet that was slipping up.
