Chapter Seventy-Nine: Reaching the Final

Zhang Jun woke up and saw that the clock on his desk was 6:15 in the morning, he muttered, turned over and wanted to pick up someone, but wondered that he couldn't sleep.

Yesterday you played so hard, how can you get up so early today? Zhang Jun turned over again, but no one was there. The sound of morning exercise sounded downstairs, and Zhang Jun stared at the ceiling for a full five seconds, and he finally sat up and began to put clothes on his body.

My parents haven't gotten up yet, and it's Sunday. Zhang Jun put on his sneakers at the door, closed the door gently, and went downstairs lightly.

Standing in the courtyard on an early winter morning, Zhang Jun took a deep breath of cold air and completely cleared up his still somewhat ignorant brain. Then, after doing a little warm-up, he started his jogging the next day.

Yesterday afternoon seemed like a beautiful dream for the team members of Dawn. Defeated the powerful Dingding and successfully entered the finals. Such an achievement was unimaginable for many Dawning players two years ago. In just two years, they have completed the transformation from a dark horse to a strong team.

When Fan Cunjie's shot was saved by Chen Bo and the referee blew the final whistle, the cheerleaders of Shuguang threw the prepared confetti onto the court, gongs and drums sounded in unison, as if they had won the championship.

Yang Pan left the players' tunnel as soon as the game ended, and he had to rush back to his hometown, which was an agreement between him and his father. The reporters also regretted that he was not caught. The truth is that when the reporters swarmed up, they surrounded the man in the No. 7 Dawn jersey for a long time, only to find out that the person who was almost scared by the flash was a substitute who had never played.

However, this has little impact on the reporters, Zhang Jun is the protagonist, and he is surrounded by the most reporters.

Countless microphones and flashes made Zhang Junhuang's legs weak. Fortunately, Liang Ke came over to help him relieve the siege: "Zhang Jun! Lead the team to thank you! Just go! ”

After queuing up to thank the fans, he saw Fan Cunjie, who had also finished thanking him, who was standing alone in the field in a daze.

While there were no reporters coming up to entangle, Zhang Jun walked over, took off his jersey and handed it to the other party.

Fan Cunjie was stunned, took off his team uniform, took Zhang Jun's, and gave him his own.

"Take care!"

"Thank you!"

The two shook hands.

Zhang Jun's move reminded reporters that Fan Cunjie is also another protagonist of this game. failed to win the championship for three consecutive years, and is truly a "tragic hero". So most reporters surrounded Fan Cunjie again. Zhang Jun had no one to take care of him for a while.

When he looked up, he saw Sophie leaning against the awning of the dugout and smiling at him. Zhang Jun lowered his head and smiled and walked towards her.

"Here's for you." Zhang Jun untied his braids and handed the rubber band to Sophie.

But Sophie didn't stretch out her hand, "Don't." ”

"Why?"

"This is for you, you are not allowed to send it back!"

Zhang Jun stopped, looked down at the rubber band on his right wrist, and when he didn't tie the braid, he put it on his wrist.

The sky is getting brighter, Zhang Jun looks at the sky, it's time to go home.

At the entrance of the stairs, he met Sophie, who had come down to fetch milk.

"What for?" Noticing Sophie looking at him with the eyes of a rare animal, he raised his eyebrows.

Sophie didn't answer him, she just watched, and then suddenly laughed: "Zhang Jun, you're not tired, are you?" ”

"Exhausted?"

"Aren't you still in bed today and Sunday at this time of the day?"

I finally understood that it was all this morning jog. "I can't sleep, why are I still lying in bed?" Zhang Jun muttered.

Sophie reached out and ticked.

"Why?"

"Put your head out."

Zhang Jun leaned his head over as he said, Sophie lifted the hair on his forehead, and also put his head up, and the foreheads of the two people were pressed together.

"Hey! I don't have a fever......"

"Go get a national victory, okay?"

Sophie said softly, slowly swaying on Zhang Jun's forehead, her breath spraying on Zhang Jun's face, tickling.

"In the finals, don't lose, there's also the national competition. Let me continue to watch you play together, okay? ”

"Hmm."

A ray of sunlight entered the corridor at some point, the sun had risen, and a new day had begun.

In the second semi-final of this afternoon, Tongxing without Lin Ling lost 0:4 to the High School Affiliated to the University of Science and Technology. Li Yongle wore the No. 10 shirt and scored a hat-trick. While lamenting the decline of another veteran powerhouse, the media is also looking forward to the final next Sunday. The cover of the latest issue of "High School Football" is the celebration of Li Yongle and Zhang Jun after scoring a goal, the two of them are one left and one right, which means self-evident. Many people even call it a "Mars vs. Earth" final.

Monday is especially lively on campus. Zhang Jun stopped at the school gate and looked up at a banner hanging above the school gate. "Congratulations to the Dawning Football Team for reaching the final of the Chenguang Cup!"

"Wow! It's very punctual! Anke also stopped, looking at the banner waving in the wind.

"Idiot, if you don't go in, you'll be late." When Ren Yu walked past Anke, he threw down such a sentence.

"You ......," Anke chased after him.

"It seems like the first time I've been here so early." Kaka's voice sounded behind him, and Zhang Jun turned his head, "Hi! Kaka beckoned to him.

“hi!”

"Everyone's spirits are high! Hehe! Kaka laughed.

"yes, after all, it's in the finals." Zhang Jun looked at the classmates who were talking and laughing around him.

"What about Yang Pan?"

"It's still in Xinxiang, and today it seems to be grandma's cremation." Zhang Jun's voice lowered again.

Noticing that Zhang Jun's mood was lower, Kaka knew that he had aroused his sadness again, and hurriedly changed the topic: "What about Sophie?" Why didn't you see her with you? ”

"She? This week, she is worth it. So come to school early every day to clean up! As soon as he talked about Sophie, Zhang Jun's face really had sunshine.

"Cleaning? Hey! Aren't you that again? Kaka rubbed Zhang Jun with a wicked smile.

"Where did you kid go?"

"Huh! Where do you think I want to go...... Wow! All right! Stop! Just kidding! Kaka put his hands on Zhang Jun's outstretched legs and smiled. Really, is it true that once a man is done, he can't even make jokes? ”

Seeing Zhang Jun change his legs, he hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't!" I won't say it! ”

Waiting for Zhang Jun to retract his legs, Kaka turned his gaze to the banner hanging above: "Very magnificent, isn't it?" ”

"Hmm." Zhang Jun nodded.

"Warmly celebrate the dawning football team to reach the final of the Chenguang Cup...... It feels good! ”

Zhang Jun remembered what Sophie had said to him face to face on Sunday morning.

"Go get a national victory, okay?"

Zhang Jun looked at the banner fluttering in the wind again, "In a week, the words on it should be changed." ”

"Change? Swap it for what? ”

Zhang Jun smiled: "Warmly celebrate the right to participate in the national competition for the Shuguang football team. ”

Zhang Jun hit the post with a shot, and the sound of color immediately shook the sky outside the field.

"Good shot!"

"It's so beautiful!"

"Look at people, how accurate! Wherever to hit! ”

……

"That's an exaggeration, isn't it? Just a goalpost, so much applause? Anke said and handed the ball to Zhang Jun who came over, "These people are too ignorant!" Don't take it seriously! He patted Zhang Jun on the shoulder.

Lin Xiaofang's shot was firmly held in Anke's arms.

"Yummy!"

"Anke, good job!"

"Well guarded!"

……

Anke threw the ball to Chen Bo and shouted and posed in front of the door: "Okay! Again! Again! ”

After a whistle blew, he threw another lunge to save Chen Bo's ball from the bottom line.

Zhang Jun rolled his eyes: "Don't take it seriously......"

Kaka smiled: "Hehe! Don't blame him, if you look at the sidelines, it's all three layers inside and three layers outside. Everyone's enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high, after all, we have reached the finals! ”

"Kaka!" Liang Ke shouted.

As if they had been specially trained, the girls immediately screamed, and the boys shouted to cheer Anke: "Pounce out!" Anke! "One more!"

Kaka dribbled the ball and looked up slightly to see Anke's position. This kid got carried away, and he was standing so far forward. Kaka didn't intend to make Anke proud for a third time, he rubbed it lightly, and the ball arced against the crossbar, avoiding Anke's backwards and outstretched hand, and fell into the goal.

"Beautiful!"

"What a light kick!"

To Anke's frustration, the boys who had previously unanimously supported him immediately became Kaka's loyal fans. Then Kaka elegantly raised his hands to the audience, and the color was louder.

Anke jumped up from the ground: "No! Not counts! I was careless about that ball just now! Again, I promise you won't get a goal! ”

"Don't laugh! I don't believe it! Then give it a try! ”

"Kaka, if you win once, you want to run! Again! ”

Anke eventually went on a rampage, and the students who were working hard in the main teaching building could hear Anke's roar in the stadium.

Chen Huafeng leaned on the railing of the stands, and looked at the Dawning team, which can already be called "chaos", with some tears and laughter. "Is it that easy? The next game is the final! ”

Li Yongle noticed that since Monday morning, He Wen's face has not been very good, and this cute manager, who is usually always smiling, has been looking worried for the past two days.

"He Wen, do you have anything on your mind?" Taking advantage of the gap in drinking water, Li Yongle took the initiative to step forward.

"Ah, no, no ......"

"He Wen! Go get some clean towels! Sun Laihong shouted, why Wen was relieved. She hurriedly said yes and turned to get something. After a while, Li Yongle saw her coming over with a bunch of socks.

Sun Laihong was puzzled and held the socks: "This...... I want to give them the ...... to wipe their sweat."

He Wen understood, and hurriedly bowed her head and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'll change it immediately!" ”

Then, Li Yongle watched He Wen run past him with socks, and after a while, he ran back with a bunch of towels.

After delivering the towel, she came back to continue washing her clothes.

"Are you really unconcerned?"

He Wen's face turned red.

"Are you hesitating about cheering us on Sunday, or cheering for your brother Anke?"

The soap in He Wen's hand slipped, and she looked up at Li Yongle in surprise: "Huh? How do you know Anko is my brother? ”

"Hehe, this is a secret!" Seeing He Wen frowning, Li Yongle hurriedly changed his words: "Actually, well, this is because the author didn't think about it himself, how did I know that Anke is your brother." ”

(Author: Khan ...... )

He Wen shook her head: "No, I'm worried about our team, the dawn is very strong, I'm worried about whether we can win......"

Li Yongle interrupted her: "The dawn is strong, but we are stronger than them!" The final champion must be the High School Affiliated to HKUST! ”

ps: Off topic: to all my friends......

I will never forget July 4, 2003. Because that's when I left school and went out into society. At 10:00 p.m. that night, I boarded the train to Luoyang. Goodbye to my friends, my classmates......

In front of the window of our dormitory in the school dormitory building is Huangshan Road, which is the road I am most familiar with in Hefei. It's so familiar that it's almost oblivious. It wasn't until we left that we got into a taxi, where we could have made a straight turn and turned east towards the train station. But that night the U-turn was blocked by a large truck and a small truck, and the driver cursed, and then had to continue driving west, until the next intersection could turn around and drive east. That's why I had one last chance to take a good look at the Huangshan Road where I had lived for two years, like any night, brightly lit and full of people. But in addition to sadness or sadness in my heart, I don't know if Huangshan Road knows that I am leaving and leaving. In the future, it will lose a partner who comes every day, and I don't know if it will be sad. I remembered a song, Power Train's "Walking Nine Times on Zhongxiao Road", in those days, I don't know who changed the words, and sang all day long: "Huangshan Middle Road Walk Nine Times...... Those smoky roast mutton stalls, Unicom Internet Garden, Briqi Internet Cafe, the PS game room that Xiao Li and I often go to, and the wide street lawn with the same Go chessboard, thousands of miles of fragrant wontons stewed...... It was like a ritual, and the taxi walked back and forth around the road, allowing me to relive the old days.

On the way, Xiao Li held my hand until the train station.

There were three of us going that night, and I was the last one. The first light rain back to Suzhou, the 8:50 train. Seventeen of us discussed going to the platform to see him off, but due to [***], Hefei Railway Station does not sell platform tickets. If we can't get to the platform, we won't be able to send a light rain. Later, someone said that they entered the station through the staff entrance, but the two staff members who guarded the gate were very conscientious and were stillborn without letting us plan to pay for it. As a result, while the squad leader was still negotiating with the two conscientious staff, we all heard a long whistle, and no one said anything for a while, because Xiaoyu was gone, and we didn't have time to send him off. When I was still in the dormitory, he came up with a bag on his back to say goodbye to me, his eyes were moist, his voice was infarcted, I just hugged him, I thought there was still a chance to get to the train station anyway. As a result, I stupidly missed this opportunity. Xiaoyu was one of the fastest wingers on our football team, but the cross was not flattering...... He was saddled with the striker's greatest number, the 9, and as a result, he scored just one goal in two years of collegiate play...... But we all like him because he is "a man like the wind". Unexpectedly, he was in such a hurry and left alone.

Then there was Wang Xin, who was the car that arrived in Zhengzhou at 9:35. He has a work permit for the railway, and he can go directly to the worker passage. But the remaining fifteen people had no choice, and in the end they had to decide to climb over the wall. I didn't go with them because I was in the 10:10 car, so I waited alone in the waiting hall to check in and hoped that they could catch Wang Xin at the last minute and see him off. I can't imagine how they could climb over such a high wall, especially with two girls in the group...... Then, I heard the news that the 1432nd train from Hefei to Chengdu had started to check tickets, and I began to carry two large boxes and squeeze into the platform with the frantic flow of people. When I finally squeezed out, I saw Dasha, and Xiaotao, and then I saw other people rushing down from the upper floor. The first thing I asked them was, "Did you really come in over the wall?" They nodded. I asked again: "Did you send Wang Xin?" They shook their heads again, and then I stopped talking.

I started queuing up to get on the bus, and I hugged each of them goodbye, so much so that I was in the front of the line, and then I fell all the way behind. After getting in the car and putting away my luggage, I went to the window again to say goodbye to everyone. said goodbye, but at first he just said, "I must come back in the future!" "Let's go! Bon voyage! "Goodbye! Take care! "I didn't want to cry in front of everyone before this, because I hadn't cried for a long time, since the third year of junior high school. I have almost forgotten what it is like to cry. But when Xiao Chen, a native of Henan, rushed to me all of a sudden, hugged me tightly, and cried unabashedly: "I haven't cried for a long time......", I began to say firmly: "Don't cry!" Don't cry! But after three sounds, I couldn't stop crying, and I said with a crying voice, "Don't cry! "The result was only to make me cry more unscrupulously. The whole affection of the two years came out with this tear...... Then, more people came and put their arms around me and cried and told me not to cry. It was so chaotic that I don't remember who put their arms around me and told me not to cry, but I cried just as well. Dasha is a very nice person, I often go to his house to take a shower, use his computer to make things, and use his printer to print homework, and every time I go, I always have to scavenge something to eat, or a few apples, or a breakfast pie. But he didn't complain, some people said he was stupid, but I think he was a sincere person to his friends. I felt like I owed him a lot, especially when he put his arm around me and said, "We're friends, aren't we?" ". Dong Dong is a retired tank soldier, and his physical strength is comparable to the iron man Schwarzenegger, and many times he is indeed an iron man. But the first time, and probably the last time I saw him cry, it shook my heart. Such a strong man, suddenly crying with his hands covering his face, bending over and about to squat on the ground, Mr. Luo tried his best to support him, so that he didn't really squat on the ground. Although the girls on one side didn't cry as much as the boys we, they kept wiping their eyes with facial tissues.

I keep saying that "men don't flick when they have tears", and they really can't flick! If a man cries, it is enough to cry ghosts and gods, enough to make people feel that the word "heroic" was coined for them at this moment.

I think I was lucky, because the first two people didn't make it, so I pinned all their reluctance and parting sorrows. I was lucky because I had so many friends who came to see me off while I was gone. I still remember clearly that after I cried, they lined up in three columns for me to be happy, Ah Yuan, Xiao Li, and Brother Qiang kept grimacing. Lao Zhao, my captain, kept extending his thumbs to me and silently wished me a smooth journey. I will never forget what they looked like at that time, Xiao Li, A Yuan, Brother Qiang, Yang Zi, Lao Zhao, squad leader, Mr. Luo, Dong Dong, Liang Liang, Xiao Tao, Dasha, Lao Wu, Xiao Chen, Xi Ping. Their names will always be in my heart......

As soon as the train left Hefei Station, the raindrops of beans smashed on the window and flew into the car......

The weather forecast for that day said: "Heavy to heavy rain today and tomorrow......

Some people say that the most attractive thing about "Do You Care When I Play Football" is the sincere feelings. I confess that when I wrote this book, I poured all my emotions into football, about my loved ones, about my friends...... But if I didn't have such a group of good friends around me, I wouldn't have been able to write about my little deeds. Fortunately, I have never been short of friends, I always have friends of one kind or another, no matter where, no matter when, no matter what changes, they always support me and tell me to "never give up".

Thank you to my friends, primary, secondary, college, around, online...... Without you, there would be no Lin Hai listening to the waves; Without you, there would be no "Do You Care When I Play Football"......
