In the first round of the 15th National High School Football Championship Luoyang Division Qualifiers, Dawn on Pioneering. The game was played on the soccer field of Pioneer Middle School.

The school gate, the teaching building, the laboratory building, the dormitory building, the small shop, the parking shed, and even the toilet facing the runway are still the same, and they have not changed at all.

Regarding the toilet facing the runway, Zhang Jun also had a joke.

In the autumn track and field meeting of the third year of junior high school, he signed up for the 100-meter run. With his sprint speed, in the school, only Yang Pan did not have the confidence to defeat. However, that day, Yang Pan was not in a group with him, and now he had no resistance to get the first place. The referee fired a gunshot, and as soon as he rushed out, there was no one else within five meters. His sprint speed put him far ahead of the rest of the runners, crossing the finish line first to the cheers of his classmates. But to everyone's surprise, after Zhang Jun crossed the finish line with his arms raised, he did not stop, but maintained that speed and rushed directly into the toilet facing the runway. Everyone was stunned, and it took about five seconds for a loud burst of laughter in the room.

Later, Yang Pan used this incident to tease Zhang Jun, saying something, "I wonder why your kid ran so fast that day, it turned out that he was holding his pee." Your goal from the beginning was the men's restroom, not the finish line, right? ”

Although Zhang Jun repeatedly explained that it was because he was wearing spiked shoes and couldn't stop the car, he extended the distance to slow down. There's a toilet in front of him, so he can't rush into the women's toilet, right? So the men's toilet became his only choice.

But Yang Pan's version still spread on campus, and everyone knew that Zhang Jun won the first place that day because he held his urine. "People are terrible", and in the end, it turned out to be "Zhang Jun ran so fast on the court because he kept holding his urine, and he was naturally motivated and impulsive". made Zhang Jun cry and laugh.

The pre-game setup is short and effective. Liang Ke arranged for Wang Ning and Li Hao to guard against Yuan Gang. But in terms of offense, he did not choose to avoid Liu Peng, but asked the four people in the front court to take turns to attack Liu Peng. "He's the Iron Man, and we're going to crush him too!" Liang Ke clenched his fists and shouted like Hitler, a madman in World War II, and both of them were also people who pursued offense.

Before going on the field, Liang Ke stopped Zhang Jun.

"Zhang Jun, remember, a game is a game."

Liu Qi and his expanded cheerleading squad appeared in the stands of the Pioneer Stadium. In terms of creating an atmosphere and cheering, they are getting more and more presentable.

With the special attention of the editor-in-chief, the number of reporters covering the dawn increased to three, one full-time photojournalist and two text reporters. Chen Huafeng, as a text reporter, took intern reporter Xiao Zhang to the stands.

"You know, it's definitely a pleasure to watch the Dawn game, especially their attack." Chen Huafeng told Xiao Zhang. "You're going to have to keep your eyes open, and I'm counting on you to write me a great report."

"But the editor-in-chief wants you to ......"

"Ahem! It's a great opportunity to exercise! "You're going to have to catch it! There are fewer and fewer people like me who are willing to give young people a chance. Chen Huafeng patted the shoulder of this intern reporter who had just graduated from the Department of Journalism of Zhengzhou University, with the posture of a senior.

"Ahh You want to watch the game, right? But Xiao Zhang didn't appreciate it at all, "Hmph! You've only been in the club for a year! ”

Chen Huafeng smiled: "Hehe, but you have only been in the club for a month?" So, I'm your senior! ”

※※※

As soon as he walked out of the door of the lounge, Zhang Jun unexpectedly met Yuan Gang.

"Ape?"

"Call me Yuan Gang."

"What's wrong with you?"

"Not bad! Became a star player, appeared in magazines, and appeared in photos. You're a beautiful kid, and you've forgotten all your old friends, right? For a year, I haven't even made a phone call, and I haven't written a letter. You've made new friends at Dawn and had a lot of fun, isn't it? ”

"I ......"

"No explanation, no need to say anything." The expression on Yuan Gang's face seemed to have been seen somewhere, oh yes, in a dream. "Forget what you said! We'll see you on the court, Zhang Jun, don't be soft when the time comes! He turned and walked away, leaving Zhang Jun standing still.

※※※

"Wouldn't that be too much?" Liu Peng asked Yuan Gang, who came over, "You know, the reason why Zhang Jun didn't make a phone call and wrote a letter was because he was afraid that we would blame him and say goodbye." ”

"Of course I do. But everything presupposes victory. Yuan Gang put the captain's armband on his arm, "Let's go, Liu Peng, the game is about to start." ”

※※※

The referee blew the whistle and the game began.

Pioneer offense. Yuan Gang advanced with the ball, and the two forwards who were pioneering ran forward to attract the attention of the Dawning defenders.

Wang Ning and Li Hao forced Yuan Gang. Wang Ning went up to force closely, while Li Hao waited for an opportunity to move on the side.

Although Wang Ning grabbed very hard, Yuan Gang still showed ease, and the ball was firmly controlled at his feet.

The full-back came up to assist, Yuan Gang skillfully passed the ball to him, and the full-back crossed the first time!

Lin Xiaofang relied on his height advantage to push the incoming ball out. The ball fell to the feet of Yuan Gang, who had just gotten rid of Wang Ning and Li Hao, and Yuan Gang didn't dare to slack off, because the two tenacious guys had already pounced. Yuan Gang raised his foot and shot from a distance.

Anke pounced sideways and pressed the ball to the ground.

It was a long-range shot at the beginning, and the desire to open up and win was very strong. The long-range shot seemed to indicate that the game would not be smooth sailing.

After being held back for almost a year, Dawn's attacking lineup also wants to vent in this game.

Kaka catches Anke's big foot and deftly unloads the ball. Then a turn, dodging the defense that opened up the back midfield, from unloading the ball to turning in one go. His action immediately caused the girls outside the field to scream again and again.

A very clever pass, Ren Yu stopped the ball forward with the inside of his foot, and at the same time rushed forward, and the pioneering fullback No. 4 Li Ding immediately pressed up. He knows how powerful Ren Yudi is, this person who was rated as the top five in dribbling kung fu last year, if you give him a little space, he can get rid of you. Li Ding didn't dare to slack off at all, and every defensive move was cautious, for fear of making a little mistake.

Facing such a cautious opponent, Ren Yudi couldn't find a chance to break through for a while, and he passed the ball back to Kaka.

"Who will be watching this game? Yang Pan, Kaka, or Yuan Gang? Xiao Zhang said with some excitement while watching the game.

"Nope. It's Zhang Jun. Chen Huafeng said.

"Zhang Jun? That striker? It doesn't seem to be a very brilliant character! ”

"The key to this game is Zhang Jun, whether Shuguang wins or loses, it all depends on him."

"Wouldn't it? Yang Pan's long-range shot is an indestructible weapon! And he's still the captain, the spiritual leader! ”

Chen Huafeng sighed: "This is the difference between intern reporters and senior reporters. Yes, Yang Pan's long-range shot is indeed very powerful, and he is indeed the captain of Dawn. But when it comes to spiritual leaders, I think Zhang Juncai is. ”

"He? The unassuming protagonist? ”

"We look at it from a technical point of view. Yang Pan's long-range shot was really powerful, but Zhang Jun was the team's top scorer with five goals in last year's qualifiers, and he missed the final game due to injury. ”

"Yang Pan also scored four goals!" Xiao Zhang said unconvinced, "Moreover, it was still in the case that the coach deliberately suppressed his long-range shots." ”

"Not bad. In the game against the High School Affiliated to the University of Science and Technology, Yang Pan scored two goals alone, and even the back line of the High School Affiliated to the University of Science and Technology could not move for a period of time, but why did Shuguang still lose? How can a team, no matter how tenacious its defensive line, how tacit it it is, how sharp its passing is, if no one puts the ball in the opposing goal? Then all the efforts made before that are in vain. How important a high-quality goalscorer is for a team, you can refer to Argentina in 1978, Kempes was the epitome. Yang Pan and Ren Yudi cannot be regarded as strikers in the real sense, only Zhang Jun is a typical shooter, and he is a well-rounded and excellent shooter. Its efficient goals and consistent play were the key to the rapid rise of Dawn last year. ”

"Even if what you say is right, then why is he the spiritual leader of Dawn? As far as I know, a captain should be the spiritual leader of a team. ”

"Definitely. But the Dawn is in a special situation. Yang Pan is a player with a professional level, and Li Yongle of the High School Affiliated to the University of Science and Technology is also very strong, which is the top level in the country. For them, I can write an article right now to predict what their future holds. But for Zhang Jun, I can never predict what kind of height he will reach and how powerful he will be. Neither can others. His growth has been phenomenal, and the future is limitless. Besides, he always gives people the feeling of being lazy and indifferent to everything, but if you really think that he is like this, you will suffer a big loss in the game. If it's two, you know? When he steps on the court, Jang Jun will always exude a kind of power, and his teammates will trust him to pass the ball. The last stop of football is Zhang Jun. Either way, Jang Jun will kick the ball into the goal. It is often the seemingly inconspicuous No. 11 that breaks the deadlock. Think about how Shuguang scored a hat trick against Nanyang last year, you should understand. When he lives up to the trust of his teammates and always brings victory and hope to the team, what is such a person who is not the spiritual leader of the team? ”

Zhang still doesn't seem convinced. Indeed, it is not easy to quickly see Zhang Jun's characteristics, and Chen Huafeng also summed it up after following Shuguang for a year. He suddenly thought of the bet he made with Sun Liangliang last year, and he never seemed to miss it when choosing who to bet on. Thinking of this, Chen Huafeng smiled: "Otherwise, let's make a bet." I think the key figure in this game is Zhang Jun, don't you think so. Let's make a bet on this, and the loser will invite the winner to dinner tonight. What do you think? ”

Xiao Zhang, a hot-blooded young man, agreed without thinking: "Okay! No repentance! ”

"Absolutely! Absolute! Chen Huafeng nodded with a smile.

※※※

There were loud cheers from the stands, and the ball reached Yang Pan's feet.

"Long shot! Long shot! Long shot! The cheerleaders of Dawn shouted in unison.

Yang Pan raised his head, and sure enough, he saw a passage leading to the goal, he took two steps forward, and slammed his feet to hit the goal. However, the ball was tackled by one man.

"Liu Peng!" Yang Pan exclaimed.

Liu Peng smiled at him: "Long time no see, say hello first!" ”

"Are you staring at me? What about Zhang Jun? Don't you know how powerful Zhang Jun is? What made Yang Pan scream was this. As a teammate back then, Liu Peng should know Zhang Jun's strength better than anyone else.

"Yes. I know better than anyone else that it can only be ...... forever" Liu Peng's face darkened, but he immediately raised his voice and said to Yang Pan: "Instead of worrying about others, let's think about how to get past me!" ”

Yang Pan smiled: "You are so confident that you can stop me? ”

"Let the horses come!" Liu Peng pointed to his chest.

※※※

Yang Pan received the ball, Liu Peng did not force it immediately, but always kept a distance of about four meters from Yang Pan. At this distance, whether Yang Pan shoots or breaks through, it will not be out of Liu Peng's defensive range.

Facing Liu Peng, who was almost flawless, Yang Pan sighed and could only pass the ball out again. He knew very well that the big man in front of him who was 188cm tall was powerful. His athletic body, nimble pace, amazing explosiveness and excellent foresight earned him the nickname "Iron Curtain" when he was in junior high school. Even he himself has suffered at his feet. If you don't know for sure, it's best not to break through.

"What? Afraid of me? Liu Peng said with a smile.

"Humph! Seventy-five minutes left, are you still afraid that you won't be able to make a fool of yourself? Yang Pan snorted.

※※※

In this game, when Zhang Jun received the ball for the first time, six minutes had passed since the game. It's no wonder that he doesn't run more than he used to, and Kaka can't find the right time to pass the ball to him.

This time, there's finally a chance. Kaka dodged the tackle of Yu Wenjun, who opened up the back, and accurately sent the ball to Zhang Jun's feet.

Zhang Jun received the ball, but it was not the central defender or the midfielder who defended him, but ......

"Yuan Gang!" Yang Pan screamed. Yuan Gang is a forward midfielder, why did he appear in his own half, defending Zhang Jun?

Zhang Jun was also surprised.

"Ape?"

"Remember what I said? Don't be soft! Yuan Gang stared at Zhang Jun and said word by word.
