Chapter 8: Fight to the End!
At the end of the first half, the electronic scoreboard on the scene clearly stated that the score at this time - 6:0!
After Thierry Henry's hat-trick, another star of the New York Red Bulls, Australian Thiem. Gary Cahill scored two goals with ease. The sixth goal came from the Red Bull defender, Mexican Rafael, who played for La Liga giants Barcelona at the same time as Thierry Henry. Rui Manuel Marques - He dribbled the ball from the back as if no one was there, and his long-range shot from 35 meters was like a cannonball, directly penetrating the entire Stevenson University defence.
For the fans at the scene, the performance of the Red Bulls in the first half made them addicted, and many Americans who were originally not interested in football found football so exciting and wonderful for the first time, and they also broke out with great enthusiasm, cheers and applause.
For the coaches and players of the visiting New York Red Bulls, it was also extremely satisfying to score six goals in the first half. Although there are not many goals, at least in their opinion, the opponent is an amateur team after all, and only scored six goals in the half, which is really not much. However, three of those six goals were scored by new signing Thierry Henry, and all of them were brilliant, plus goals from Cahill and Max, which were enough to impress the American public and thus reciprocate with greater enthusiasm and support.
Of course, the first half was a nightmare for the boys of the home team, Stevenson's University football team, even though everyone was mentally equipped for the nightmare before the game, and there was no shame in losing to the opponent. However, when such a huge score gap is in front of them, it still makes them feel uncomfortable.
So as soon as the whistle blew at the end of the first half, the varsity players fled into the home team's locker room like defeated roosters.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Looking at the dejected players in front of him, John, who was angry because the team was behind by a large score, wanted to scold, but found that he couldn't say anything.
Yes, the opponent is a professional team in Major League Soccer, what is the Stevenson University football team? A rookie team that is even worse than an amateur team. This was originally a show game to build momentum for the New York Red Bulls, but it was ridiculous that he was lucky before, and even shouted the rhetoric of "Win the peace", now it seems that this is just a joke!
Despite thinking so, John still felt uncomfortable and lost in his heart. In the United States, a country where football is not prosperous and the audience is not high, to be able to insist on liking football and taking football as its own career, in addition to great courage, the rest is a crazy love for football.
John also had a dream, he wanted to be a professional footballer when he was younger, and now he is a football coach after more than a decade of playing wild football, and his dream has become that he wants his team to be a strong team, and now it seems that ...... This dream is still out of reach......
The dreams of the little people are very simple and ordinary, but such ordinary and simple dreams still seem to be just unrealistic fantasies.
"Alas!"
John sighed secretly, but he could only beat his spirit. The spirit of the lads has disappeared, and if they are depressed, then the blow to the team may be even greater.
'In the second half we continued to defend solidly. Judging from the 45 minutes of the first half, we were not at the same level as the New York Red Bulls, and even several levels worse. So our strategy can only be to focus on defense, and win with less loss. ”
After saying this, John smiled helplessly to himself. In fact, even he knew that this was nonsense, with the difference in strength between the two teams, even if Stevenson's school team wanted to attack, there was no other way than passive defense. As for winning with less losses, conceding six goals now, is it still a small loss?
Seeing that everyone was still wearing dejected clothes, John could only clapped his hands weakly and encouraged: "The New York Red Bulls are a professional team, strong, and there is no shame in losing to them." Okay, everyone, cheer up, there are still 45 minutes left in the game, and even if we lose, we have to show our best side. Let others take a good look, even in the face of professional teams, we will not lose momentum if we lose! ”
The spirit of the players is finally a little better, after all, they are all young people, and they are easily aroused. After all, if you think about it, it's really the same thing, and there's nothing to be ashamed of losing to a professional team by a big score, as long as you do your best, it must be impressive.
John nodded with a little comfort, but his eyes suddenly swept to Qin Shou who was sitting in the corner, looking at this guy's lazy and lazy indifferent appearance, John was suddenly unhappy.
"Qin, what are you doing?" John asked angrily.
Thinking that Qin Shou was as lazy as a walk in the first half, John was a little angry. This guy is a little abnormal today, you must know that Qin Shou in the past, but he has the nickname of "Desperate Saburo", and he is full of hard work on the field, and his fierce momentum alone is estimated to be able to intimidate many people. But today, did this guy just eat and go for a walk?
"Ah, there was a fly flying around my nose just now, so I sneezed......" Qin Shou responded lightly, but seeing John's appearance on the verge of an outburst, he quickly explained with a smile, "I didn't mean you, John, there really is a fly......"
The atmosphere in the locker room was suddenly relaxed, and even some players didn't dare to laugh, and their faces were red.
"Flies? Flies, your sister! John almost shouted at Qin Shou in a roaring manner, "You obviously know what I mean, don't talk nonsense!" What were you doing in the first half and why were you playing so lazily? If you had been positive, maybe we wouldn't have conceded so many goals! ”
Hearing the coach say this, everyone really remembered that in the entire first half, Qin Shou did not even touch the ball a few times, and basically had no sense of existence, just like a transparent person.
Facing everyone's puzzled gazes, Qin Shou didn't care, spread his hands, and smiled helplessly: "John, even if you want to divert the 'firepower', you can't aim the cannon at me, right?" Hey, I said can you please stop looking at me like that, the guys on the other side are a bunch of professional players, even if I defend desperately, it's probably not very useful, right? Come on, you can still play however you want, without thinking about my feelings. ”
"Don't have to think about your feelings?"
The people in the entire locker room are about to fall and pass out, big brother, even if the opponent is strong, you don't have to be so passive, right? Don't think about your feelings, can you please think about our feelings? Can you still play well?
If someone else said such irresponsible words, it is estimated that everyone would attack in groups, but thinking of Qin Shou's explosive combat power, and thinking about this guy's consistent lazy style, everyone would have nothing to say.
They all know Qin Shou's character, and what he can do, he will do it desperately. But if it was obviously unrealistic, then Qin Shou wouldn't be too lazy to waste that energy.
"Even Qin has given up, it seems that we really have no hope."
Thinking like this, everyone was silent for a while, and the little morale that had just been raised was about to disappear.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that the players showed a depressed look again, John's anger finally couldn't be suppressed anymore, and he rushed to Qin Shou with an arrow step, grabbed his jersey fiercely with his right hand, and stared at the other party with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Oh no, it's going to be a fight."
"Hurry up and pull John ......"
"Oh God, a moment of silence for John. Before the game is over, the coach will be sent to the hospital, which is a shame to get out......"
The hearts of the players are about to pinch - of course, they are not for Qin Shou, thinking about Qin Shou's terrifying combat power, if they really fight, it is estimated that they will not see their coach for at least two or three months.
But the next scene was beyond everyone's expectations.
I saw John staring at Qin Shou viciously, and said word by word: "Steal fifty cents once!" Goals and assists are rewarded with double the rewards! ”
The scene was so dramatic that the players who thought it would be a "bloody locker room" fainted and fell to the ground.
This Coach Nima is too funny, he actually wants to lure? Do you all know that a person as proud as Qin Shou may succumb to the temptation of money?
This is simply an insult to Qin Shou!
Sure enough, Qin Shou glanced at John indifferently, reached out and slapped away the opponent's grip on the jersey, got up, and walked towards the door of the locker room without saying a word.
Looking at his back, everyone seemed to feel a raging rage.
"Sure enough, Qin is angry......"
"The coach went too far, he actually insulted Qin in such a way!"
"Alas, Qin is usually a very good-tempered person, but now that he is so angry, it seems that John is really angry with him!"
The crowd whispered in whispers.
"Let's go!"
At this time, Qin Shou suddenly turned his head and raised his voice in an unquestionable tone towards the people in the room.
"Where are you going?"
Some of the two monks were confused.
"Fight to the end!" Qin Shou said firmly.
"We Stevensons are not soft bones that can be defeated without a fight! In our country, there is a saying called 'knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, but preferring to go to the tiger mountains'! No matter how difficult it is, no matter how difficult it is, as long as we are firm in our beliefs, then we will still be glorious despite defeat! ”
Qin Shou's face was firm, as if the person he said just now that he was not the one who gave up easily.
And the people who came to their senses fainted again, big brother, you are not angry, but impatient to prepare to fight to the end for the double reward!
Qin Shou threw John a look of "don't forget to promise me a reward", and waved his hand, "Cheer me up, if you lose the ball again in the second half, I will beat whoever is responsible!" If they are all responsible, they will all be beaten! ”
Thinking of Qin Shou's unequivocal means of beating people, all the players couldn't help but have a cold war, and then their eyes turned red one by one.
MD, in order not to be beaten, fight!
A group of people followed Qin Shou murderously and rushed into the players' tunnel.
And behind them, John secretly wiped a cold sweat from his forehead. And beside him, Uncle Huang gave him a thumbs up, and he didn't know whether to praise him for knowing Qin Shou's "wealth fan" nature, or to praise him for daring to provoke Qin Shou.
You must know that if you really provoke Qin Shou, it may be a fat beating. was beaten up in front of so many players, and that face was lost.
