"Shoulder, it's shoulder!" Ye Ruiyang explained to the referee over and over again where the ball had just hit, and slapped his shoulder desperately with his hand. The rain rolled down his face, and I was a little skeptical that he was going to cry. However, the referee shook his head unquestioningly, believing that Uchida's header had reached his hand and was a handball foul that would have been awarded a penalty. Captain Kuang Hao led Yuan Yikong and He Mingming up to surround him. I wanted to go, but before I could get over he told us to disperse or we would be shown a yellow card.

The penalty cannot be changed. Everyone retreated outside the penalty area, and No. 20 Andong Woo walked in with the ball.

"A goalkeeper, you can't move in advance, understand?" The referee held the whistle in his hand and ordered, "Kitagawa takes the penalty player, and the shooting action must be consistent, understand?" ”

We all nodded. The ball was placed on the penalty spot, and everyone inside and outside the pitch held their breath, except for the rain that continued to fall on every corner of the earth.

He ran and was ready to shoot with his right foot. The process was very coherent, and it was obvious that it was trying to hit my right hand. My body reacted much faster than my brain, and I quickly pounced to the right, trying to spread my arms out. The damn ball flew high and I didn't reach it, and it grazed the crossbar and went into the net. Thunderous shouts erupted from the stands, and the South Koreans who had scored the penalty jumped up in the rain to celebrate, and I got to my feet in disbelief and slapped my arm to the crossbar again. The jamb helped me two minutes ago, but this time luck wasn't on our side anymore.

However, the referee's whistle sounded rather inappropriately in the cheers, and this time it was Kitagawa's turn to surround him. There were also sporadic boos in the stands.

The enforcers determined that Kitagawa's teammate who was the penalty player had fouled in advance, and the goal was invalid and needed to be heavily punished. Uchida clasped his hands together and theorized with the referee, speaking in Chinese, just repeating the phrase, "no foul", with his strange accent. Obviously, he was the one who entered the line early. Jin Min pulled him away and said that it was okay to let Dongyou kick again, and he could still get in.

Andong Woo once again walked to the penalty spot with the ball in his arms and smiled at me, feeling a little helpless. Everything has changed subtly. His run-up distance has become noticeably longer. Will you change the direction of the shot? He's still backing away, and it seems like a kind of psychological warfare, giving me more time to figure out where he's going to kick. Players who are confident enough will be punished in the same direction, such as Shi Zhenhua. And he stretched the distance so long that he hasn't stopped yet...... Was it a deliberate attempt to trick me into thinking he was going to hit the left and then kick to the right again? Still is......

His run-up began, with a slight pause in between, a change of pace. In the rain, he ran to the ball......

Looking back, I was sure the ball was behind the crossbar. Ye Ruiyang rushed up and hugged me tightly, as if I had scored a crucial goal. All the members of the defense line surrounded me, patting me on the shoulder or touching my head, and all the water in my hair was swept down. Those who shook their heads turned into the Beichuan players who had just cheered, and the sighs in the stands were like dark clouds gathering.

There was also an element of luck, he slipped a little at his feet, the ball flew down the middle, and I didn't move to lift the penalty over the crossbar.

"Ke Ke, you are Ye Ruiyang's father today." Brother Chuan said with a smile. Ye Ruiyang scolded him back, saying that his mother was in the stands, and he didn't forget to call his grandmother when it was over.

I don't really want to have a son, and it would be awkward if someone called me Mom and Grandma - she's not that old.

Andong Woo takes another corner. This time the ball was directly cleared by Yuan Yikong out of the penalty area. The opposing defender came in with a long-range shot and sent the ball into space.

After missing the penalty, Kitagawa's offensive weakened. Under Kwong's organisation, we also made a couple of shots, but none of them were too threatening. As the half-time whistle blew, we stepped on the slippery artificial turf back to the dressing room.

I can see that everyone is tired, and as a goalkeeper I am probably the most relaxed on the field. Including the cheering substitutes, everyone was drenched in the rain. Coach Wang is no exception, her hair is a little messy all the time she has been sticking to the sidelines. As soon as we entered, she applauded us and praised everyone for their good performance in the first half.

Yue Yin also followed, and the boys who were undressing were so frightened that they hurriedly let go. Fortunately, she didn't have the posture of taking pictures with a camera, but took out the paper and distributed it to everyone. It wasn't until we got off the field that we knew how embarrassed we were, unkempt.

"Is it cold?" Mi Le took Yue Yin's paper and came to wipe my hair without permission.

"It's alright, what about you?" I saw that his hair was hanging down and his clothes were mostly wet. Even though he didn't play, he was still fighting with us on the sidelines.

"Are you tired? If there is a physical problem, say it in time. "The coach walked around us and walked up to a couple of players and talked about what to look out for in the game. She was the only one who didn't hold the paper. Finally she came to me, didn't say anything, patted me on the head, and by the way, patted Millet's.

I feel like everyone is twisted into a rope.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the first substitution was Beichuan Middle School. Andong Woo was replaced, which was a bit of a surprise. However, judging from the situation at the end of the first half, he made a few mistakes with the ball, and it seemed that his fitness could not keep up, and the penalty missed may have had an impact.

Not everyone in Korea is that good at running? Just like Uchida isn't a tech stream? Maybe it's because we're all amateurs, and we're all kids. We haven't been molded yet, and we're far from professional adults. However, how many children are there in Japan and South Korea who are of their level or better than them?

It's too late to think so much, and the battle resumes. With the gradual decline of physical fitness, the technical and tactical level is decreasing, and the attack and defense that were relatively smooth in the first half began to degenerate into a midfield struggle. The whistle kept blaring, and the shouts from the stands and the bench came and went. The referee showed three yellow cards in the second half, and we have one for Brother Chuan, who brought down the opponent in the grappling with Jin Min.

The coach on the sidelines played his first card and let Huang Minxue come on the field to replace Brother Chuan. He limped a little as he walked down, and Zhao Rui and Miller picked him up from the sidelines.

Will it be changed to Mile? To be honest, I really want him to get a chance to play as soon as possible, but is it really good for him to come up in hand-to-hand combat like today?

Huang Minxue's appearance was a pressing, almost close to the ground tackle, and the slippery ground made the movements more fluid. Although the ball was intercepted, the referee still blew a dangerous action foul and gave Kitagawa a set-piece.

"Xuexue, you pay attention to your movements!" Mu Zheng was reminding him. He ignored it and continued to chase the ball, like a hound chasing its prey.

The smell of gunpowder is escalating. The lack of physical strength deformed our movements, and the rain exacerbated the anxiety of the players. Although Huang Minxue is not tall, his bones are very hard, and his enthusiasm for fighting is obviously superior. Jin Min was directly tackled by him when he was dribbling the ball. Without hesitation, he drove a four-wheel drive car with a motor, and rushed forward with the ball. The quick counterattack after the half-time steal was Beichuan's forte, but it was replicated by Huang Minxue in their home stadium. The player who returned to defend had no choice but to bring him down, and it was another yellow card. This time, Huang Minxue didn't say much, but quickly got up and put the ball at the place of the incident and passed it forward. The set-piece was sent quickly, and he found Zhang Taotao who was inserted on the side. At this time, Taotao was undefended, and Beichuan's players had not yet come to their senses, and even the foul players were ready to explain to the referee. The man in black ignored it and ran to the front to enforce the law.

Mu Zheng has been inserted into the penalty area, Tao Tao's cross ball through the rain curtain to the forward point, Mu Zheng threw his body out, shook his head as much as he could, the ball ran to the gate of Beichuan Middle School, crossed the goalkeeper's ten fingers, and then smashed on the crossbar, popping out of the door frame. In just a moment, all the Beichuan students on the court and in the stands may have flickered in front of their eyes for a second.

Just a few centimeters short, the door frame helped both teams once in each half.

After completing this wonderful attack, we replaced two people in a row, Yan Xi replaced Mu Zheng, and Xu Xiang replaced Zhang Taotao. Yan Xi was at the front alone, looking for an opportunity to counterattack. Xu Xiang is a sapper, playing a cameo role at right back to strengthen the defense.

The clock should have passed 50 minutes, and both sides were still unable to find the back of the net. Kim Min received the ball in midfield, and from a corner a few minutes earlier, I heard him retching in the box, but he was still hiding his discomfort. Probably going to pass it back, Xu Xiang and Huang Minxue were already blocking him in front of him. However, seemingly exhausted, he suddenly accelerated and changed direction, passing Xu Xiang. Huang Minxue went up to block it, the bodies of the two collided together, Huang Minxue fell to the ground, Jin Min also staggered, and finally insisted on not falling. The referee did not blow the whistle, but raised his hands flat and pointed in the direction of the attack. This is a gesture that the attacking team is advantageous and does not blow for a foul. Jin Min, who regained his balance, took the ball to the front of the big penalty area, Uchida tried his best to tear up space for him, He Ming stepped forward to defend, Jin Min's arm opened slightly, made a suspected foul pushing action, and flashed the vacancy. His powerful long-range shot was like a shot put, but it was pressed very low and went straight for goal.

The angle was so positive that I held the ball and pressed it under me, as if I was transferring the power from the remaining ball to the ground. If the angle is a little tricky, it must be a world wave. The midfield dribbles were a delight to watch.

The referee signaled for me not to kick off, and I realized that there were two people lying on the pitch. Jin Min was in front of him, and Huang Minxue fell at the far end. Jin Min is fine, cramping, but it also hurts so much that he hammers the turf, and obviously he and Uchida are helping him press his legs.

How is Huang Minxue? Everybody was around him. I can't see clearly, I should have gone up.

I did go, and Mu Zheng on the bench also ran on the field. Xuexue lay on his back on the turf with his thighs covered. As a teammate, the first thing I thought about was whether he wanted the referee to give Jin Min a yellow card. However, he didn't shout, he didn't roll, he just clenched his teeth and didn't hum.

"Xuexue, where are you hurt? Tell me! Mu Zheng was calling him.

"I didn't ...... Affair. Two words squeezed out of his teeth. This is clearly not a show, but a restraint of oneself. He must have put a lot of effort into it, and he didn't cry out for pain when he was injured, and he simply broke the pain and swallowed it in his stomach. Strong willpower and self-esteem made him so strong, I just thought about him like that, and I was still his teammate.

Am I wrong about a lot of people?

Mu Zheng and Zhao Rui drove Huang Minxue to the end. The game is restarting and all the attention has to come back, no matter how much I want to know how he is.

It's a battlefield.

A few minutes later, I saw Xuexue stand on the sidelines again, and the referee signaled that he could come back, and although he ran a little awkwardly, he ran in the direction of the ball again. The timely return of Xuexue greatly boosted morale, and the race was towards the finish line minute by minute, but the spirit was not distracted. Beichuan made a mistake in receiving the ball in the midfield, Huang Minxue broke the ball, turned around and handed it to Kwong Hao, and the captain gave a precise long pass. Yan Xi received the ball at the edge of the penalty area in Beichuan, and there was not much time left before the end of the game. Facing the defenders, he paused, made a feint, and then kicked the ball in the air. Another defender came in time to help, threw himself onto the turf, and blocked Yan Xi's shot with his waist. The referee blew the three long whistles at the end of the game, and the Kitagawa defender, who blocked the gun's hole, did not get up and rolled on the ground twice in pain. Yan Xi squatted down with concern and patted him.

The battle was over, but the soldiers on both sides still maintained the solemnity brought by the hard work. No one spoke, they all went up to look at the defenders who were smothered by the ball. Fortunately, after a while, he eased up, and Kuang Hao and Jin Min pulled him up. So everyone walked back to the center circle and lined up to shake hands. The players on the bench also came on the pitch to say hello.

"Nice save." Takataka Uchida came over to say hello to me, and for a moment I wanted to respond to him in Japanese, but I really didn't know much, so I had to laugh.

"Xuexue, are you okay?" I heard Miller asking, and when I turned around, Xuexue was panting with his hands on his knees.

"Hard injury, no big problem, it hurts for a few days." He grinned hard and pulled Millet out of his hand, slowly straightening his waist.

The rain stopped, and we walked to the stands to thank the field, and Xuexue walked a little reluctantly, carried by Mu Zheng. I saw Ye Ruiyang's mother, she didn't have an umbrella and stood in the rain with her son. Autumn birdsong echoes on the century-old campus of Beichuan Middle School, a hard-won draw, and today we are here to continue to top the group. Wet back to the locker room, the coach praised us and told us to dry off to avoid catching a cold. With that, she turned around and went out the door, finally free to change her clothes. Ye Ruiyang was the first to finish it, and he was about to go out when he opened the door, but he heard the coach outside the door saying that he had to clean up and clean his clothes before leaving, and he couldn't leave a little water and garbage in someone's locker room. However, you are the exception today, your mother is waiting for you outside the door.
