When my father saw Zhang Jun in the restaurant on Saturday morning, he was no longer surprised.

Zhang Jun put the cup on the table and got up to go out.

"Why are you going?" Dad asked, turning his head.

"Morning jog."

Then there is the sound of the door closing.

"Morning jog?" Dad was holding the bread and didn't react for a while, "When did he start his morning jog?" ”

Taking a deep breath of fresh morning air, Zhang Jun moved his muscles and began his first morning jog. It's a jog, and it's almost the same as a walk.

"! Next time, I will definitely not run after breakfast! You can't run hard at all! Zhang Jun "walked" while holding his stomach and complaining.

When he passed the downstairs of Yang Pan's house, he hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to go up and have a look. Yang Pan's house was on the third floor, he climbed up and rang the doorbell, but after a long time, no one came to open the door. Zhang Jun sighed, had to turn around and go downstairs to continue his "walk".

Sophie was wearing pajamas, standing on the balcony to breathe in the fresh air, she stretched her waist very comfortably, but as soon as she was halfway stretched, she stopped, she raised her hands high, and watched with some surprise Zhang Jun running from a distance, running closer, running downstairs, and then continuing to run, running downstairs, forward, until the next building, he suddenly stopped, looked up at the building next to him, looked back again, and then patted his head and turned back.

Sophie was crying and laughing with her hands raised upstairs, but she knew that the usual Zhang Jun was back.

After eating at noon and taking a short break, Zhang Jun and Sophie went to school, and the team had to gather at the school first, and then take the bus to Xigong Stadium.

Cheerleaders and other students will gather at the entrance of the stadium on their own. When the time comes, we will arrange to enter the venue and take a unified seat. Because all the games in Xigong Stadium are open to the public, the stadium has a special ticket window, and each school that enters the top four can get a large number of free tickets to facilitate students, teachers and parents to watch the game, which is also a measure to attract popularity.

Zhang Jun and Sophie's parents both have free tickets, but Zhang Jun's mother will not come back because she is too busy with business matters, but she made an appointment with Zhang Jun, and when Zhang Jun reaches the finals, she will definitely put aside her business for a day to cheer for her son. Dad must have come here and run around with a camera in his hand to continue his photography career. Sophie's parents didn't have anything to do, although they were not very interested in football, but for the sake of their daughter, they still wanted to come. Each team member was given two or three tickets, and their families came back to cheer them on. After all, it is the top four, and there is a live TV, which can be regarded as a beautiful thing. It's a pity that my parents aren't there at such a beautiful time.

For this competition, the cheerleaders of Shuguang can say their best, make several flags and various slogan banners, and also buy a big drum to strengthen the momentum. The school paid for a truck to pull all the props to the stadium.

The cheerleaders have done their job, and the rest is up to the football team. See if they can continue to bring happiness to their supporters, and see if they can carry on to the victory.

When gathering at the school, Zhang Jun still didn't see Yang Pan, he sighed, Yang Pan couldn't catch up until today. Then I threw myself into the semi-finals that were about to begin.

The teammates were talking about the semi-finals in the afternoon, full of anticipation and nervousness, but they didn't seem to laugh enough and their voices were not loud enough.

Yang Yong was a little too nervous, he didn't say a word, and checked his equipment over and over again, whether the team uniform was taken wrong, whether the shin guard was brought, and whether the participation card was forgotten......

Zhang Jun walked over and patted Yang Yong on the shoulder: "There's nothing to worry about!" Just come up with a training mentality. Although the two are at the same level, Zhang Jun has been the main force for two years, so he has a bit of a predecessor in front of Yang Yong.

"But this is the semi-finals!"

"Semi-finals? Hum! When I was in junior high school, I even participated in the national competition, and I was still the champion! At that time, the audience was called more than one! But I ...... Yang Pan and I" Zhang Jun originally wanted to use this to give Yang Yong confidence, but when he thought of Yang Pan and thought that he was now waking for his grandmother in his hometown in Xinxiang, he had no interest in talking. I had to pat Yang Yong's shoulder again and turn around and leave. Yang Yong was confused.

Liang Ke looked at his watch, the time was almost up, and he motioned for the team members to get in the car. He was the last to get in the car, and before getting into the car, he deliberately glanced at the door a few more times, hoping to see Yang Pan's figure. But he was disappointed in the end, so he got into the car and said to the driver, "Master, let's drive." ”

Xigong Stadium is located not far south of the most prosperous city center in Luoyang. At the intersection of Jiudu Road and Stadium Road, the second main road, there is a "big pit" lower than the road surface, and that "big pit" is the comprehensive stadium of Luoyang City - Xigong Stadium. There is a sculpture outside the stadium: two people fighting for a soccer ball. In the first half of this year, in order to welcome the International Peony Festival, the Xigong Stadium, which was the venue for the opening ceremony, was renovated. The original cement grandstand has been replaced with beautiful plastic seats, and a new imported turf and plastic runway have been paved. It seems that the colorful seats, the red track, the green turf, and the large LCD screen really have the feeling of a modern stadium.

Playing in this kind of environment is a dream for many high school players!

According to the schedule, the ball at 15:00 on Saturday afternoon is the semi-final between Dawn and Dingding. Sunday afternoon at 15:00 will be the other semi-final between HKUST High School and Tung Hing High School. Then the following Saturday afternoon will be the third and fourth place finals, and Sunday will be the much-anticipated championship and runner-up finals. The winning team will qualify for the 15th National High School Football Championship and a ticket to Shanghai, where this year's tournament will be held.

It was barely two o'clock, and a lot of people gathered outside the stadium. Except for the respective cheerleaders and student supporters of the two schools, all of them are fans from all walks of life. It can be seen that in Luoyang, the society pays attention to high school football.

There are two TV broadcast trucks parked in front of Gate 3 of the stadium, and it can be seen from the logo on the body that one is from Luoyang TV Station, which is responsible for broadcasting the game to the Luoyang area. The other is Henan TV, and their signal covers the whole of Henan.

The staff is working on the antennas and equipment in an orderly manner, and various other equipment has been transported into the stadium from Gate 3. The gate had not yet opened, and the crowd had all gathered outside the venue, and the small traders and vendors had seized all the time to walk through it, doing all kinds of small business. The goods it sells are nothing more than fan horns, whistles, small buntings, and all kinds of inflatable sticks. It's simple, but it's practical.

The team hasn't come yet, but the cheerleading team has already started to perform. They waved the banner of "Victory at the Dingding" and shouted a uniform slogan by beating gongs and drums. The atmosphere was quickly stirred up by them.

is really a frequent visitor to the top four, and even the cheerleading team has been on the battlefield for a long time. In comparison, the cheerleading team of Dawn was a little shy when facing this kind of scene for the first time, and they brought all the things, but they were all neatly placed against the wall. The team members are curious about everything, but they forget about their own work.

The entrance to the bus was surrounded by heavily armed reporters, various cameras and cameras were set up, and reporters held microphones, waiting for the arrival of the two schools.

13：55。 Two buses printed with the words "Luoyang Dingding High School" drove into the gate amid the cheers of the tide. Dingding's cheerleaders immediately raised their decibels.

"Sure to win!"

"Come on!"

"Champion! Champion! Nationwide! ”

……

As soon as the bus stopped, reporters swarmed up. The door opened, and the two substitutes jumped down first, lining up for the reporters, making way for the main players.

The first to get off the bus was the captain of Dingding, Fan Cunjie, who has the reputation of "master of art" in the football world of Luoyang High School.

Flashing lights. Fan Cunjie smiled calmly at the camera, and then began to squeeze out.

"May I ask Fan Cunjie, this year is your last year, what is your goal?"

"Participate in the national competition."

Three years, in the same venue, he said the same thing three times, the first two times they all stopped in the final, what about this year?

"Dawn is not weak, how will you defeat them?"

"We come at our own pace."

"Can Dingding still have such a strong strength next year?"

"I don't know, but I trust my juniors. But the most important thing now is to win today's race, then the final, and finally the national competition! ”

……

This kind of question and answer has been like this for three years, every year.

"Dingding says every year that it wants to enter the country, but it fails every year. Does this year's Dingding still insist? ”

Fan Cunjie stopped, he turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from, and a young reporter was looking at him.

"Of course. This year's Dingding will not give up easily! We are confident that we can defeat any opponent! ”

"But what do you have what it takes to stop Dawn's attacking combination in today's game?" The man continued to ask, pressing forward step by step.

"You ......"

"Chen Huafeng. Reporter for High School Football. ”

"Oh. A journalist who specializes in covering the dawn. ”

"Exactly."

"Then you can just watch it when the time comes. In a match, the team that can score goals doesn't necessarily win the game! ”

After speaking, Fan Cunjie struggled to squeeze out of the encirclement of reporters and no longer paid attention to the questions of other reporters.

Xia Bo jumped out of the car and was surrounded by reporters. As a goalkeeper, he will face the offensive combination of "Luoyang No. 1", and he is naturally also in the spotlight.

"Shabo-san, Dawn's offensive combination ......"

Xia Bo interrupted the reporter: "I don't care what combination it is, as long as they shoot, I'll catch them all!" ”

"Yang Pan's shot is very powerful, will you catch it too?"

"Don't worry about that, I've heard he hits the post a lot."

Everyone laughed.

"What about Zhang Jun? He's scored a hat-trick in two games in a row......"

"He doesn't want a point in front of me!" Xia Bo said confidently. He does have the capital of self-confidence, and before the appearance of Zhang Lintao from the High School Attached to the University of Science and Technology, he was recognized as the first goalkeeper in Luoyang. Quick to react, bold in attack, not tall but with outstanding jump, apart from the occasional mistake, his performance in major competitions is still very trustworthy.

When Dingding was interviewed, five minutes later, Shuguang's school bus also arrived. Some of the reporters shifted their targets, but compared with Dingding, Dawn is like an old and yellow woman, and no one applauds. After all, it is the first time to enter the Xigong Stadium, and the degree of attention is far less than that of the regular visitors here.

The car door opened, and it was Liang Ke who got out of the car first, and then Sophie. Her appearance has earned back the lost face for Dawn. Those big men were amazed, many people had only seen Sophie's photos on the cover of magazines, but they didn't expect that real people were a hundred times more beautiful than photos. Suddenly, the flash flashed at Sophie. Of course, there is good reason to suspect that these journalists must have had selfish motives while taking pictures of Sophie.

Anke, who jumped out of the car after Sophie, was almost knocked to the ground by the flashing lights. When he realized that the object of these flashes was not him, but Sophie in front of him, he cursed secretly: "A bunch of old perverts! Then he pushed through the crowd and walked towards the stadium's player entrance.

Kaka's getting off naturally caused the female fans to scream again and again. Although the support rate of Shuguang's reporters is not high, the number of fans with female surnames can definitely make Dingding embarrassed.

Ren Yudi, Wang Ning, Li Hao, Li Jieguang, Lin Xiaofang, Chen Bo, Xie Wei, and then the substitutes, Zhang Jun was the last player to get off. He got out of the car, and the bus closed the door and headed for the parking lot.

No Yang Pan!

Chen Huafeng was surprised by his discovery. He suspected that he had just missed the count, and wanted to recount, but in the face of the crowd, he had to sigh.

Zhang Jun, who was the last to get off the bus, was naturally listed as a "key protection object" by the reporters. But no matter what questions the reporter asked, Zhang Jun just said, "We will definitely win." He replied, then desperately squeezed out of the encirclement and walked briskly towards the stadium.

Chen Huafeng felt that even Zhang Jun was a little abnormal today. Is it the first time to play in Xigong Stadium, nervous?

"What? Only a few games have been won! It's bigger than the shelf of Dingding! Phew! ”

A colleague next to him complained.

The doors opened, the fans began to check in, and the stadium began to heat up with the influx of fans, baking this early winter afternoon.
