At 16 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, Nan Xiao's team ushered in the second round of the English League Cup, the opponent was Plymouth from the English League, due to the huge disparity in strength, so even if the Sunderland team used a lot of young players, it was still easy to win the game with a score of 3-0; And the goals for Sunderland were Borini, Carlos and Van Aanholt.

After a bloodless game, Sunderland also progressed to the third round of the Carabao Cup, while also receiving a small prize money from the English Football Association.
After returning to the villa, Lu Ying had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, and after being full, everyone sat on the sofa, Nan Xiao continued to study things at work, Chen Mingshuo was chatting with Shi Yao in London on his mobile phone, Lu Ying was watching the latest issue of fashion magazines on the side, and Shen Chao was holding a tablet and watching movies and pulp fiction intently.
"By the way, I have something to tell you." Lu Ying suddenly broke the silence.
"What's the matter, Lu Ying, you can say it." Chen Mingshuo said.
At this time, Nan Xiao also put down the work he was doing, but Shen Chao was still watching the movie intently on the sidelines, and he didn't hear the conversation between the two at all.
"Superman." Nan Xiao shouted at Shen Chao.
"What's wrong?" Shen Chaozheng was so engrossed that Nan Xiao's shout was suddenly startled.
"Lu Ying has something to say."
"Oh." Shen Chao quickly pressed the pause button when he heard this, and then put the computer on the coffee table.
"Lu Ying, say it." Nan Xiao said.
"Hmm." Lu Ying nodded, "That's right, our school has recently held a five-a-side football competition, requiring each major to organize a team to participate in the competition, but there are very few male students in my major, so I can't form a team at all." ”
"You're not pulling us to be foreign helpers, are you?" Shen Chao had a surprised expression on his face.
"What is foreign aid?" Lu Ying was unfamiliar with this word.
"So you want us to help your profession participate in the competition?" Chen Mingshuo asked.
"That's what I mean, but I don't know if you'll agree." Lu Ying whispered.
Nan Xiao and the three looked at each other, they seemed to be very interested in this matter from each other's expressions, but in the end, it was Nan Xiao who made the decision, so Nan Xiao asked, "Lu Ying, what day is the time of the game?"
"The first game is next Tuesday." Lu Ying replied decisively.
"It's no problem in terms of time, so can you only send two boys to participate in the competition in your major now?"
"We can play three, because the rules of the game require a substitute, so we need all three of you to participate." Lu Ying said cautiously.
"Then it's okay if the three of us aren't students from your school?" Nan Xiao asked the question they were most concerned about.
"Of course there is no problem, otherwise I wouldn't have spoken."
"In that case, I have no problem, Dizi, Mingshuo, what about you?" Nan Xiao asked Shen Chao and the others.
"Since you're all right, we're even more fine, aren't we?" Shen Chao said excitedly.
"yes, I just want to play too, and the three of us haven't been interested in playing for a long time." Chen Mingshuo is also full of interest.
"So you all agreed?" Lu Ying couldn't hold back her joy.
"Agreed." Nan Xiao said with a smile.
"It's wonderful." Lu Ying was so happy that she was about to jump up, "By the way, how is the level of playing of the three of you." ”
Hearing this, Nan Xiao and the three looked at each other again, and finally Nan Xiao raised his chin at Shen Chao and motioned for him to answer Lu Ying's question.
"Let's put it this way, the three of us have won more awards in football matches since we were children than we have won the first place in the Mingshuo exam." Shen Chao said proudly.
"So you're so confident in your level?" Lu Ying clapped his hands and said.
"Of course, the Iron Triangle has not been called for nothing for so many years, we are the Chinese version of the MSN group." Shen Chao began to talk again.
"What's an MSN combo?" Lu Ying asked.
"It's one of the most powerful trios in the world right now, and the initials of their names are MSN, so they call them MSN groups." Chen Mingshuo patiently explained.
"Oh, so how are you the Chinese version of MSN group?"
"You see, I'll explain it to you." Shen Chao leaned over to Lu Ying's side, "Look, Mingshuo, Shen Chao, Nan Xiao, what are the first letters?" ”
"Brother Mingshuo is M, Brother Shen Chao is S, Brother Nanxiao is N, haha, that's what it means?" Lu Ying suddenly smiled with a realized smile.
"So the three of us join forces, and no one is our opponent." Shen Chao had a smug look on his face.
"But don't be too careless, you used to play in China, but this time your opponent is a student from a British school!"
"What's wrong with England, it's not the same by then?" Shen Chaoyue said more and more.
"Superman, you stop, it's really a brag and no taxes, Lu Ying is right, in this land, basically one out of a few people can play football, and standard football fields can be seen everywhere, not to mention that the British people's love for football is far from comparable to our country, so we'd better keep a low profile, don't let Lu Ying see jokes at that time."
"Nan Xiao is right, although the three of us are still a bit of a level in the domestic wild courts, but here, maybe our level is really nothing."
"You are too ambitious for others, so you can destroy your own prestige." Shen Chao had a disdainful expression on his face, "Proper modesty is a good thing, but low self-esteem is not a good thing; Isn't this the same relationship with the self-confidence and conceit you taught me before? ”
Shen Chao's words made Nan Xiao and Chen Mingshuo speechless, they didn't expect Shen Chao to use a trick to treat others in the way of others.
"Brother Nan Xiao, Brother Ming Shuo, I think what Brother Shen Chao said is not unreasonable, since you were so powerful before, you should have confidence in yourself, what happened to the British, not necessarily they must be better than us Chinese, as long as we don't fight, we are not worse than them, we must first be able to compete with them in mentality, and then go to the court to compete with them." Lu Ying said on the side.
Nan Xiao and Chen Mingshuo listened to Lu Ying's words, and finally understood the true meaning of Mr. Kong's words, which is called "Threesomes, there must be my teacher"; Lu Ying usually looks petite and cute, and her mind is simple, but these words touched Nan Xiao and the others very much, and she made the two understand a very profound truth with a very small thing.
"Lu Ying, you're right, this matter is not in a good state of mind for me and Mingshuo, thank you for letting us wake up in time." Nan Xiao said to Lu Ying with a smile.
"It's not a flute, it should be a buddy who makes you miserable, and it's the shore when you turn back, right?" Shen Chao complained on the side.
"Superman, do you have a gentlemanly demeanor, and you are embarrassed to fight with Lu Ying?" Nan Xiao suffocated him with a word, and Shen Chao had no choice but to blush with anger and have a thick neck, but he had no way to vent.
After the discussion about the campus competition ended, the four of them began to work on their own things, Nan Xiao sorted out the materials and prepared to go upstairs to rest, Lu Ying went to the bathroom to take a shower, Shen Chao continued to watch the unfinished movie, and Chen Mingshuo also picked up his mobile phone again and sent a message to Shi Yao.
"The three of us are going to a Sunderland football game next Tuesday, are you going to come over and cheer us on?"
