I'm going to start today. Senior Shuoshi went to participate in the essay competition, but he didn't take the school bus with us to the experimental middle school. The coach said that if we play normally, we will definitely win the game. Today's starting list was immediately announced. Wang Xiaoliang is a striker, the midfielder is Xu Xiang on the right, Mu Zheng is on the left, Kuang Hao is in charge of the middle, the three defenders are He Mingming, Yuan Yikong and Zhang Taotao, and the goalkeeper is naturally me.

It was not surprising that the experimental middle school lost 0:3 to Beichuan Middle School in the last game. Kitagawa was last year's runner-up, and I heard that this year's strength has increased unabated. Experiment are the weakest team in the group and we will have to win home and away if we want to qualify.

Zhang Taotao obviously didn't expect to arrange for him to start today, so he hurriedly changed his shoes. Ye Ruiyang ordered the goods on the Internet early, ensuring that the shoes would be given to him on the first day of returning to school on the National Day.

"But my birthday is next month?" When Miller and I gave him the shoes in the dorm room, he clearly didn't understand. Ye Ruiyang told us in advance and threw all the pots on his head. So I said, it's all Boss Ye's fault, I remember the days wrong, but since I bought the things, let's accept them as gifts, just enough to use them.

He was happy. It was obvious that he was a little clumsy in his words, but a word of thanks made us feel that he was trying to express it. I'm really happy.

Miller asked him if he was a Scorpio, and he said no, his birthday was November 24, Sagittarius. He scratched his head and said that he didn't pay much attention to the horoscopes and didn't celebrate birthdays much, but his sister's birthday was spent at their house.

Mi Le told me alone, when the 24th arrives, let's give Brother Tao a small cake. I also said that I thought he was close to my birthday. I'm from November 5th. It would be nice to be closer, he said, so that we can celebrate with us.

I didn't tell Miller, I'm similar to Taotao, and I've never had "my birthday". Before, birthdays were spent by two people. Now I haven't had a birthday in two years, and I don't want cakes, gifts, greeting cards, etc. at all.

"So, my mom didn't tell you anything else?"

"No, really not, don't look at me like that. Feel...... You're like a spy, you're about to whip me a tiger chair and chilli water. ”

Of course, there will be no whip tiger stool and chili water in the room, and if there is, it is impossible to use it, at most it will only scratch him. But seeing this righteous and awe-inspiring expression, forget it.

"If I knew anything, I'd tell you. Don't think so, okay. "He seemed a little annoyed, climbed out of bed, and sat cross-legged on the floor with his back to me.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little too sensitive." As I said that, he twisted his head and struck a posture of ignoring me.

"I'll sleep on the floor today, and you won't believe me anyway."

It's good now, I'm going to have to coax him up.

But it's important to me. If Xianxian didn't die of a heart attack, then it means that all the people have been hiding from me and lying to me, and there is no way I can get the slightest truth from them.

What really happened that day? Whatever happens, it's going to be about me, it's already about me.

I really needed Millet to keep me company, and I had a hunch that as soon as the lights were turned off, the darkness would come and fear would drown me in from beginning to end, like night could swallow the room in an instant. And now I'm so angry that I'm sitting on the ground and ignoring me. Too bad. Did I never trust people? I'm having so much fun with him, but I'm still going to hurt him suddenly. I was like a hedgehog, shrinking myself up, and whoever tried to comfort me and give me a hug ended up being stabbed by me. But the people who hurt me are the ones who care about me the most.

"If you don't speak, I'll go home." He got up to leave, and I couldn't be silent, so I immediately pounced on him from behind and grabbed him and begged him. Then he smiled and said that I knew it was going to happen. Then I obediently promised him not to scratch him casually, in addition to a series of unequal treaties, signed one by one, with a lot of content, including that I want to study hard and try to get to his current ranking this semester. Not only what I have to do, but also what he has to do, for example, if my family tells him something, he will tell me in time. At such a young age, you will be a double agent.

"I'm always on your side."

A few days after the National Day, he went home to accompany his parents, and I stayed alone at school to do my homework, and when I was done, I went to the library to read books, or I was desperately playing mobile games. Otherwise, it's been a bit difficult these days. It's not good if the vacation is too long.

"Why are you in a daze again, you can't be like this when you come to play." Miller spoke to my ear, for fear of being heard. If an adult sits motionless for a long time, some people may say that he is thinking, but a child will only be in a daze. Millet recognized my thoughts, and I nodded slightly, reaching out for him to help me put on my gloves.

"Ke Ke, come on, don't lose the ball, I can count on you." Ye Ruiyang also came over, there were three substitutions per game, and half of the team had not appeared on the court. He definitely wants to make his debut today.

"Then you should also count on Mu Zheng and the seniors, they have to score goals." I frowned helplessly.

The coach asked us to gather again and start talking about today's tactical thinking. Just because soccer is round doesn't mean the best team on paper will win. As the stronger side, scoring early is crucial. If they don't score for a long time, the confidence of the opposition defence is a little bit solid, and they could have used the home advantage to hold us to a draw, or even win with a sneak attack on the counter-attack. The coach especially emphasized that the back line should be vigilant and concentrated, once carelessness leads to the score falling behind, it is not easy to catch up and overtake. "Dominating the game", this is the essence of her speech today, to choke the opponent's throat from the first minute of the game, completely control the rhythm of 60 minutes, and kill the suspense with an early goal.

The bell rang, and it was the announcement that the team had left the locker room to get ready to enter. "Fair Play Song" is about to be played again, and we are about to usher in the second competition of the semester. Yue Yin appeared outside the passage with her camera as promised, along with several parents, all sitting in the stands. The coach said that football is also a kind of humanistic care, and the school team of No. 1 Middle School is indeed very humane, and everyone who wants to participate in the game can follow the school bus to the away game.

The black-clad referee blew the whistle and the game officially began. The experimental striker, who kicked off first, returned the ball to his midfield teammate in the middle circle, and the receiver who was not pressed didn't say a word, picked up his leg and fired a shot from midfield. Almost reflexively, I took two steps in the direction of the ball, and before I could jump, the ball flew high over the crossbar and out of bounds.

It's not a big threat, but it's a real thing to be vigilant about. Even if it didn't fall within the door frame, the experiment declared the sovereignty of the site from the outset.

However, for the next ten minutes, the experiment did not create any shots on goal. The technical and tactical strength of the players on both sides is indeed quite different, as long as they see someone trying to steal the ball under Kuang Hao's feet, everyone knows that this person is going to be passed. The opponent who couldn't get possession was firmly pinned down in the half, and it was not so much a face-to-face field battle as it turned into a siege after the first minute of hard work. With the exception of the strikers, all of them retreated to defend near the penalty area, and all we needed to do was tear apart the defence and break through the city goal under Kwong's command.

The experiment seemed to have been anticipating the defensive side of the game today, with a couple of dangerous passes in front of the box intercepted. But the biggest problem was that they couldn't get the ball out after they stopped it, and they didn't form an effective counter-attack. A mistake in the pass put the ball back at our feet very quickly. They only have one striker in front of them, and behind him without exception stands He Mingming or Yuan Yikong, who is basically unable to hold the ball in the air, and the passing route on the ground is also blocked by our midfielders. We were like an impenetrable net, covering the route of their sneak attack.

Just ten minutes later, we got on the scoresheet. Kwong Hao moved his position to the right, shook off the defender in front of him on the left with a brilliant feint, and slotted straight into the goal. The experimental goalkeeper stuck in the near corner and was about to meet his shot, but he gently pushed with his right foot and passed the ball to his left back, and when the experimental defender came to his senses, Mu Zheng, who followed up to the penalty area, had already touched the ball. He didn't stop the ball and fired a decisive shot that ran fast against the turf towards the unattended back post. The ball went in, and the referee pointed to the center circle, a very easy inverted triangle match. Mu Zheng didn't make too excited celebrations, and after high-fiveing his teammates, he raised his right arm with a fist on the bench, which should have been learned by Huang Min.

Taking the lead for two games in a row, everyone on the bench was not as excited as the first, and everything seemed to be expected. This kind of confidence and ease is really the smoothest state.

The experiment was the second kick-off in midfield, and I consciously looked at my position and didn't deviate too much.

Sure enough, it was another midfield hanging door, this time they obviously improved their accuracy, but the strength was not grasped well, the ball fell early, I took it firmly in my arms and threw it to Yuan Yikong in front of me. I heard Yue Yin scream a good pounce, maybe she also expected the other party to shoot again, and she had already raised her camera on the sidelines.

It seems that I heard my sister say a famous saying, I don't know whose it is, talking about the same thing will appear twice, the first time is tragic, and the second time is funny. This second shot has lost the firmness and momentum of the opening, and is more like a kick to brush up the shooting data. [1]

Of course, I can add a save to the stat bar because of this. Not bad either.

The wind picked up, so I had to trot on the spot once in a while, and it was a bit thin to wear only one jersey, albeit with long sleeves. They're fine, they can run and get warmed up quickly. I'm here, I haven't had anything to do, so I can only be blown up.

It didn't take long, about twenty minutes or so, for Xu Xiang to be pulled down while dribbling in front of the penalty area. We had a set-piece opportunity and we were in a good position and the right-footed player was able to shoot straight at goal. There is no doubt that standing in front of the door is Kwong Hao. The goalkeeper of the experiment yelled several times to line up the human wall, and I saw that they were blocking the left side, and the goalkeeper was standing on the right. When the whistle blew, Kwong Hao didn't make any special moves, and his crisp shot hit the lower edge of the right crossbar and fell into the net, the sound was clearly recognizable, and the goalkeeper failed to touch the ball.

Everything was a little bit easier, it was like going down the drain and we were 2-0 up so quickly. I was still ready for the third kick-off, but this time they didn't shoot again.

At half-time, everyone went back to the dressing room very calmly, as if it was us who were two goals behind and not the opponent. Yuan Yikong came over and talked to me about a call, mainly complaining about the wall of the goalkeeper row opposite, leaking the left doorpost completely, and he couldn't defend the right side, which was really funny. Obviously, I asked a more practical question: I didn't have a cold, did I?

The coach affirmed the performance in the first half in the dressing room and let us keep going. There were some bananas, chocolates, and of course, water on the table, and everyone was busy refueling.

Mi Le didn't come to me directly, but asked how Taotao felt about his debut. He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said it was okay. The coach also came over to encourage Tao Tao and make him confident that he could properly participate in the attack. He played more restrained today, after all, the players in the defensive position are mainly stable, for fear that he will make some mistakes. Strikers can miss multiple chances, but scoring a goal can be a hero. Defenders, on the other hand, don't seem to get enough attention for a lot of good defense, and a single mistake can cost you a place in the main force. Tao Tao must have known, so he kept his position open, Yuan Yikong rushed to the midfield several times, and also came with a shot, allowing the experimental goalkeeper to pick up the ball on the sidelines for half a minute.

"Keke, little surprise!" Miller suddenly popped out of the back of my head, and was about to turn around, when it was suddenly dark and soft. Before I could figure it out, the shady curtain was removed, and it turned out that he had put a scarf on me. He said that when it was cold, he could wear a scarf on the court to keep warm, and he looked quite temperamental. As he spoke, he picked up his phone and took a picture of me. It's pure black, cotton, has no pattern and no team's logo, and it does warm up a lot to wear around your neck. He said his mom bought it for me and he had a pure white one.

Blushed, I mean me in the picture. He didn't shoot very well.

"You're a little too sweet, aren't you?" Ye Ruiyang smacked his lips.

"Why, didn't you tell me that Ke Ke is going to have a birthday?"

"I'm still a month away from my birthday."

"Look, you remembered Ke Ke and Brother Tao's birthdays wrongly, and you were embarrassed to say me."

Ye Ruiyang covered his face and smiled, until he found out that I was also smiling. Ke Ke actually laughed, he shouted as if he had discovered a new world, I thought you were old and paralyzed.

"Jiang Yuan's No. 1 squadron asked for a substitution, replacing No. 7 Xu Xiang and replacing No. 14 Yan Xi." At the beginning of the second half, we made substitution adjustments, and Yan Xi got the opportunity to make his debut. By next year, it will definitely be him and Mu Zheng who will prop up our attack line.

The experiment also brought on a striker and looked like he was going to step up the attack. In the first 10 minutes of the second half, they fought more fiercely, and although they couldn't get the ball off Kwong's feet, it still hindered the connection between our players. After a half-time break, the new striker received a pass from a team-mate and fired a long-range shot from the edge of the box. It was a good shot, but it was powerful, and I didn't dare to slack off, so I didn't take it and hit the ball off the crossbar with my hands.

No one shouted for a good save this time, but it was certainly a little more difficult than the unsuspenseful save in the first half.

The experimental corner kick was opened, there was not much threat, Yuan Yikong's huge body did have what the coach called "dominance" in the penalty area, he shook his head to push the ball out, and Zhang Taotao received this clearance ball.

"Brother Tao rushed, pass them!" Millet shouted from the sidelines, and so did I. As if this sentence gave him a little confidence, he ran two steps with the ball, and when he saw Yan Xi asking him for the ball on the right hand, he passed it with a kick, and he continued to move forward, past a defender. At this time, Yan Xi should return the ball to him, which is the classic two-by-one, also known as "kicking the wall". Yan Xi plays the role of a wall, attracting the attention of players who are marking Zhang Taotao, and after receiving the pass, he "bounces" the ball to his teammates, so that Zhang Taotao can continue to carry the ball forward.

But Yan Xi didn't pass the ball, but ran with the ball quickly, probably starting from the midfield line. The player who was guarding him couldn't keep up, and could barely chase his shadow. Yan Xi ran wildly along the side, and the defenders were thrown farther and farther away by him, and they were about to hit the penalty area. He began to cut inside, and the experimental centre-back pressed towards him, and the difference in height between the two was extremely obvious, and Yan Xi deftly dunked the ball from his right foot to his left foot when he was about to hit a real wall, and dodged the defender's side. The central defender who had been beaten was trying to turn around, he didn't dare to foul, Yan Xi entered the penalty area, and as long as he fell to the ground, it was likely to be a penalty.

With only the goalkeeper left in front of him, the opponent abandoned the goal and lunged towards him, trying to catch the ball at the last minute. Yan Xi almost mischievously flicked the ball from his left foot to his right foot again, and the goalkeeper who had already fallen to the ground could no longer touch the ball beyond his control, and could only watch Yan Xi gently push the ball into the net.

If you use one word to describe this goal, it is undoubtedly a thousand miles to ride alone. He beat three defenders, including the goalkeeper, and sealed the win for us completely by himself. The only difference is that Yan Xi is not as tall as Second Master Guan, with a long bare face.

Yan Xi, who scored the goal, rushed to the sidelines and high-fived the coach, then turned back to hug his teammates. Ye Ruiyang also ran to the sidelines and touched his head, and then went to warm up.

After that, the game was not shocking, with a three-goal lead, we played more calmly, and the opponent did not fight too fiercely, until Huang Minxue replaced Mu Zheng, he effectively helped the students in the experimental middle school practice how to pass the ball quickly under the opponent's pressure. The only suspense is whether Ye Ruiyang can get on, I saw Brother Chuan jogging on the sidelines, and Ye Ruiyang also followed. Finally, after more than 50 minutes, Ye Ruiyang came on the field to replace Zhang Taotao. Millet took the waves down. Ye Ruiyang didn't touch the ball much after he came on the court, and only had one big foot clearance, but he was still so excited that his face was flushed.

Three long whistles, the end of the game, we got the three points comfortably on the road, no injuries on either side and the clean sheets for me and the team continued. The atmosphere in the locker room after the game was really good, Huang Minxue was the first to enter, he took off his socks and sat on the chair with Erlang's legs crossed, plucking the non-existent strings in his hands, and the soles of his feet were beating and humming to welcome us back. It's a shame that there are no guitars here.

"Hey!" Ye Ruiyang shook his head helplessly when he entered the door, Mi Le asked him if he was struggling with whether to take a bath today, he said no, his mother came to see the ball, but it was only a few minutes. If his dad knew, he would have felt that the last few minutes were not as good as not, and then thought that playing football was indeed a waste of time.

No wonder he cares so much about whether he can play today. As he spoke, he suddenly found that Huang Min had learned to "cut songs" and changed his hum to "Listen to Mother". Ye Ruiyang rushed up to clean him up, he smiled and hid behind the chair, regardless of the fact that he was barefoot, stepping on the floor and crackling.

He's so much cuter than I thought.

"By the way, do you know what I told Brother Tao after he came down?" Mi Le was talking to me, and Yan Xi came over to listen. "I said, in our third goal, your pass to Yan Xi was the most difficult!"

We all laughed and asked Yan Xi how he felt about that goal. Yan Xi said that he felt that his physical fitness was not bad at that time, and he wanted to rush with the ball, but he didn't expect to run up and find that the other party couldn't catch up, so he simply fought alone.

"Next time, I'll pass the ball to Brother Tao." He seemed a little embarrassed, and Brother Tao definitely didn't care. Maybe for him, one assist is very satisfying.

The coach pushed the door in. After praising us, she said the result of the other match, with Beichuan High School winning 2-1 away at Polytechnic High School. This means that we are now tied with Kitagawa on six points and are in the top two of the group. As we applauded and cheered, her face became a lot more serious: the schedule has been advanced, and we will go to Beichuan next Sunday to take on Beichuan. Rest well, it's going to be the most difficult game of the year.
