9 Return and Waves

Videos and photos are different. It's active, and there's always something new to discover with every viewing. To paraphrase, video and art are depicting what could happen. Our generation is fortunate to have memories that are vivid and colorful, and can be easily evoked with the fingers at any time – as long as we have not completely forgotten the sounds and images that those data are made of. Although time has slipped away a lot, looking back at this period of the past, your voice is heard again, and it is inevitable that there will be that kind of intimacy, and time seems to reappear in front of you.

Summer is coming, and the sun is painting the earth a lush gold. In this city, spring is just a short dream, and when you wake up, you will be floating hot. Whether it's memory or present, the climate has always felt like this, and if it's not for the changes in your own body, who can prove that time is fluid, not quietly piled up in the city? Jiang Yuan is like a snail shell, with a solid and ancient city wall outside, burrow into it, fall asleep, and wake up like that, and you can have a longer dream than before.

But I know we're long gone. Dreams can be done for a long, long time, but eventually they have to wake up, just like every child must grow up.

I'm going to make it louder so that the footage can better capture my attention.

"Hello everyone. Today, I will explain the first leg of the semi-finals of the Jiangyuan City Mayor's Cup, Jiangyuan No. 1 Middle School will play at home against the High School Affiliated to Jiangyuan University of Technology. The players from both sides have not yet entered the field, so we take this opportunity to introduce the situation of the opponent, wearing a bright red jersey, the Polytechnic High School eliminated Xiling Middle School with an aggregate score of 4:1 in the quarterfinals. Their main player is ......"

My sister is always so methodical. However, compared to the commentary last semester, she seems to be less lively. Probably because I'm not in the stands. It seems that when I'm around, she can tease me unscrupulously, pretending to be a supporter or a bully. I've heard that she's usually very quiet, and rarely jokes with people, especially with boysβ€”it seems that I don't interact much with the girls in my class. It's the second year of junior high school, and there are a few girls I haven't taken the initiative to speak. Sometimes I don't really know how to talk to girls. First, I have a lot of things to do, and my homework and exams are endless, and I am anxious to think about it. The second is that there are all kinds of rules and regulations that make me feel that when I talk to girls, I may be looked at with suspicion by my peers or teachers. I don't know if my sister is like this, but this estrangement exists more or less. We grew up in the dense security doors of the unit building, and when we arrived at school, we had to separate ourselves from the gaps between the small desks - we were going to take the junior high school entrance examination, the exam was commonplace, and everyone's seats should be farther and farther away.

Why am I thinking about these things again? Obviously I was going to watch the video. Memories are like soaking yourself in a bathtub, the hot water is flowing, sometimes the water in the basin covers your feet, and the water spraying from the faucet splashes uncontrollably on your body. My thoughts flew away like a splash of water.

On the screen, the sister who only left her voice was still talking, and her accident came. There was a muffled sound, and someone sat down next to her, interrupting her explanation. The hesitation after saying hello seems to be visible from off the screen.

"I'll explain it to you."

"Okay. But aren't you going to play today? ”

"If you don't play, I'll accumulate yellow cards and be suspended."

"Hmm. Everyone welcomes Huang Minxue, the vice captain of No. 1 Middle School, who will provide us with professional perspectives and analysis......" My sister's tone was a little stiff. The two of us are indeed relatives, and our reactions after meeting school are not very natural. But maybe not, I'm not so "afraid" of him anymore, my sister may just not know him very well.

"I'm not a vice-captain, and we haven't had a vice-captain. The captain will always be Kopeway's. I don't have a professional perspective. He interrupted his sister again, who must have been so embarrassed that she didn't say anything, and I really didn't know what the duo would say about the game.

"Mu Zheng, are you there? Can you hear me? Let's wind barrage when I hear it. "It took me a long time to see the empty stadium before I heard the off-screen sound again. However, neither I nor my past studies have seen a single barrage. Silence reigned over again, and it wasn't until the "Fair Play Song" sounded rhythmically that the stalemate slowly disintegrated with the beat of the drums. In the picture, he and his companions and opponents slowly appear in the center of the arena.

"The starting goalkeeper of this game is No. 23 Kopewe. On the back line, from left to right, there are No. 10 Luka, No. 6 He Mingming, No. 5 Ye Ruiyang, and No. 3 Mi Le. The midfielders are No. 20 He Honghui and No. 4 Li Baichuan. No. 9 Yan Xi is a single striker. Am I right? "My sister seems to be asking for the advice of a temporary partner.

"Probably." He replied, his voice even more muffled, perhaps because Mu Zheng ignored him. And from afar, I would never have known that there was such an atmosphere in the stands.

The race is on.

Luka received the ball from Yan Xi and passed it back to Hemingming. Obviously, the opponent's defender is a little overhead......"

"Knock on the door! Beat! ”

In the picture, Yan Xi burst into the penalty area with the ball, and in the shouting of Xuexue, he gently knocked the ball to the right back. The ball that was inserted by Millet was a long-range shot, again with a left foot. The ball went just over the crossbar, and the leaping Polytechnic goalkeeper seemed to spread his hands towards his teammates with trepidation.

"It's not bad, the quality of the shot is still okay!" My sister encouraged.

"That's right! You can't be cowardly, you have to play with momentum! "Learn to add.

It seems that with the whistle of the referee's revelation, the barrier of estrangement shows signs that it can be broken. We got to know each other because of the sport, and it was with the beginning of it that we all came to a whole new world. It isolates the bloated homework, repeated exams, and looking eyes, and focuses us on the running and jumping on the green field, forgetting anything other than being supporters, and everything becomes a common voice with the movement and catapult of the ball.

But there is absolutely no time for anyone on the field to think about that. When Anival's tall body actually stood beside him, a powerful sense of oppression covered his head with the shadow. As soon as he gets the ball, he will run rampaging and running over our defense zone like an indestructible tank. Fortunately, we listened to Ming Ming's opinion and tried to cut off the connection between him and Huo Yuqi. The coach arranged Ah Hui to start and only gave him one task: to stalk Huo Yuqi from beginning to end. He stuck to the core and brain of Polytechnic like a plaster that could not be shaken off, not giving him a chance to catch the ball smoothly. The passing of other Polytechnic players is more or less lacking in the accuracy and accuracy of the captain. Their defensive back, the No. 8 classmate with a Scofraze printed on his back, was steadily intercepted by Brother Chuan several times. And Lao Ye and Ming Ming took turns behind Anivar, and it took a lot of effort for him to turn around. This kind of highly targeted defense is precisely our best respect for strong opponents.

Aniwal took the ball in front, and Ye Ruiyang carried it. You also need to help defend here, be careful not to foul, don't give set-pieces ......"

"Be careful! Don't let him break it out! ”

'Aniwal went wide and his team-mate stepped in to assist. Low cross, watch Aniwal and don't let him grab the shot. Stuck in his position! ”

"What kind of defense is this! How to leak clean at the back point! ”

Xuexue almost roared at the screen of his phone. I was quite impressed by Polytechnic's attack, Lao Ye and Ming Ming stuck Aniwal behind him left and right, the ball passed between me and the two of them, and when I turned to look at the left side of my body, Li Tiancheng had already completed the goal at the back point. The ball hit the side-netting with great force, and from the video it looked like it had gone into the goal, hanging very much.

"It's good if you don't get in, it's good if you don't get in." This time, she was replaced by her sister with palpitations, and she kept repeating, as if she was shocking herself.

However, there was a wave of unevenness, and this time Aniwal was crushed into our penalty area. As Yue Yin said, he is not just a "rough man" who eats with his body alone, and his movements are also very flexible. He was facing Miller after winning the ball on the right side, and did not rely on the advantage of being tall and big to crush him, but came to a set of "pedaling" movements, and the speed was so fast that Miller was a little reluctant. After a series of feints, Mi Le gradually lost his center of gravity, and Lao Ye hurriedly came to help. Seeing that he would have to face another two-man scramble, Aniwal lunged and suddenly swept past Millet, trying to devour our backline alive with a split second. Miller, who was about to be thrown away, stretched out his leg behind him to kick the ball away, but was bounced away by Anival's stocky body, like a stick that had been hit on a shield and bounced back with a strong shield, and Miller stumbled and fell to the ground. Fortunately, Aniwal's second ball was a little big, and Ye Ruiyang arrived in time and stuck his position to catch the ball. At this time, it would be good to clear the siege with a big foot, but Aniwal was able to step out of the gap and poke the ball in front of the goal. The already chaotic penalty area instantly turned on his back, and Li Tiancheng, who was inserted, shot again in the chaos, and after the shot, he stumbled with the supplementary defense, and both fell to the ground, and I who made a side pounce and Aniwal, who lost his center of gravity due to passing, also lay on the turf. The ball grazed the post and went out of the line, and the luck was really good.

I really can't look at it if I have a bad heart. Hearing my sister say this, I feel a little funny now, after all, it has become a "kind memory". Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, let's not coax him, we can keep it. Learning is comforting. But we tested her heart again towards the end of the first half. First of all, our corner kick, Miller drove it out, obviously giving the ball to Ye Ruiyang, who came and turned and hit the goal. The movements are extremely chic, but the ball is so high that even Yao Ming can't reach it. Polytechnic then drove the ball in goal, and Li Tiancheng broke through on our left and caused a foul on Luka. Huo Yuqi, who was given "special attention" by Ah Hui in the first half, had the first chance to take a free kick. It was just one chance that he made a near-perfect arc, and although Aniwal couldn't get his hands on the ball under the bag, the number 8 who was lurking behind him grabbed the spot. "God pounced, it's just hanging!" "How did you do it, Wei Wei is amazing!" They both exclaimed at the same time. Because of the angle, I couldn't see my save clearly. It's only three or four meters, and No. 8 also pushed out a rebound ball, and I didn't even have time to lift my hand, so I blocked the ball completely with my chest. It's a good thing my sister didn't see it clearly, otherwise I wouldn't even be embarrassed to go out of the class door.

"Aren't we a little too conservative?" At half-time, we went back to the dressing room, and the conversation that we couldn't hear was kept on video: "There were only one or two dangerous shots on goal, and we were pressed by Polytechnic at home. ”

"We were a defensive team. If you can't score a goal, what's the use of having a high ball possession? ”

"But it's not just about defending and not attacking. The game of one is all about passion, it's about playing well, isn't it? It's so boring to 'put on a bus'. ”

"Can you play well and make it to the final? Can you win the championship? We don't have this diamond, why do we have to do all those porcelain jobs? Xuexue's voice was a little dissatisfied, "Who doesn't want to play well?" But if we rush out to fight against Polytechnic, it will be good-looking, and the backline will probably make Aniwar bursting with holes. Does it look good to be brought in by three or four? ”

"Okay, I understand. It's just that the first half was a bit awkward. In the face of Xuexue's complaints, my sister's voice was much softer, "If only you could go." ”

"Alas, there aren't enough people. In fact, I can guess that in the second half, it is estimated that Xiao Qi will replace Ah Hui, if he is behind, he will go to Leben, and if he is not behind, he will change Xu Mu. We have too few cards. In case someone gets hurt again, do you want the captain to go up on top? ”

"Don't underestimate my brother. He's passing the ball very well, but I've seen it big since I was a kid, so it's really not okay to let him play in midfield. ”

"So why did he switch to goalkeeper? Of course, the captain played very well as a goalkeeper and if it weren't for his team-mates, I wouldn't have believed he had played in midfield before. ”

"For all sorts of reasons. When I was in elementary school, there was a lot of competition for those positions, and he was always a substitute and couldn't play. ”

"Is it because his rival is his brother?"

They even talked about it.

"How do you know?" My sister's tone was also very surprised.

"He mentioned it to me. Ah, I'm ...... I didn't mean to. Excuse me, are you okay? Xuexue was obviously panicked, and his tongue was a little knotted when he spoke.

"It's fine. I'm still pretty strong, right? ”

"Hmm...... Although I don't know you well, I only know that you are the captain's sister, and your grades are particularly good, and you are also the president of the literary club. But, I can feel that you are amazing. It's just that sometimes don't hold on, it's very uncomfortable. If you should cry, you should cry. ”

"Why do you say that to me? Because I'm a girl? ”

"I didn't mean that......"

"I understand. However, if a boy wants to cry, he must cry too. ”

The world outside the camera was silent, save for the sound of the wind shaking the trees and shrubs that grew around the stadium.

"I'm back."

The silence was broken by the familiar voice of a third man, and I wonder what their expressions were. But once you see the faces behind them, you may only feel the urge to cry in addition to ecstatic. He arrived shortly after the start of the first half and waited on the sidelines until the end of the half in order not to disturb our game. The man is here again, and the meaning behind it is far more than the game itself. If we do see him in the middle of a match, the most attentive of us will not hesitate to stop.

And when we walk out of the passage, we will see him reappear on the side of the stadium six months later. He was still draped in thick clothes, and his hands were firmly rested on the railing, as if the king of the castle was fully armed to look out at the battlefield filled with gunpowder. The body after a long illness is like an ancient relief on the cliff wall, the sea blows the straight mast and full sail of the ship, the turbid water bubbles white bubbles are broken by the unwavering hull of the ship, and shatter on the reef, mixed with the fearless breath of the flowers on the other side of the sea after blooming in summer. His face was illuminated by the near-hot sun back to the spirit of the past, as if to tell us that death is nothing more than a humble assumption in the face of life.

Came, saw, conquered. We have won in the past, and we will win in the future. The returning Mu Zheng reminded us in the most powerful way of life.

Aniwal was in excellent form in the second half, and he even made a shot that came close to an upside-down golden hook – not in the true sense of the word, of course, but leaning on Kawago with his back to goal and hanging the ball upside down with his toes. The ball went over the crossbar, he fell to the ground and was whistled for a foul that raised his foot too high, but even as an opponent would have been impressed by the imaginative and explosive shot. As my sister said, I never thought anyone would try a barb shot on the Mayor's Cup stage – this kind of action is simply not something a junior high school student can do. Who said it, Mu Zheng will definitely be able to do it! Xuexue retorted unconvinced. You think too highly of me, even if I'm at my best, I don't think I can play. Mu Zheng smiled, his voice was still a little weak, but that calm voice was enough to make people believe in his confidence in returning this time.

It was our aggressive close-quarters defence that forced Aniwal to use such a difficult way to attack. Also subject to the constraints is Huo Yuqi. To be honest, our pressing was a bit ferocious. Mu Zheng's appearance made us excited, and Ah Hui was obviously a little too excited, and several defensive actions were not small, and he was finally shown a yellow card by the referee. Aqi also saw Mu Zheng before the start of the second half, and the two didn't say anything, but looked at each other and smiled. When he returned to the field, he did not complain in the face of our encirclement and interception, and he was not emotionally flustered, and still supported the team with delicate feet. We have also met a lot of excellent midfielders before, compared to Andong You and Tong Jing, Azi's skills do not seem to have an absolute advantage, and his running range and physical reserves do not seem to be as good as Yin Rirong, but the most intuitive feeling of his playing is "reasonable". Every pass and reception seems to have been well thought out, like playing chess, and you know how to deal with the next three moves when you take one step, and there are few mistakes. In such a blood-soaked environment, he still had the energy to think and maintained absolute calm. He is both a warrior who reads the game and a commander who is in danger. In the second half, apart from testing me with a brilliant curling shot, he slowly gained insight into our tactics. Gradually, he and Aniwal seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, and began to use himself as a decoy to contain our defense.

"Oh my God, this is the third time! I thought I was going to lose it! "Another omission in our defensive line made my sister completely forget the identity of the "commentator", and she was more like a fan on pins and needles. Polytechnic played a smooth frontcourt cooperation, Aqi found Aniwal who was holding the ball with his back, and the latter, who was swayed by Lao Ye, reluctantly made the ball sideways with his long legs, and Li Tiancheng got rid of Luka's entanglement in the penalty area and got the ball. I held on to the near post and his shot hit the far end of the net accordingly. When he fell to the ground to make a save, he was out of reach, and the slow ball slowly ran towards the goal, bounced off the uneven turf, and was finally stopped by the post. Miller didn't bother to check the situation around him, and kicked the ball directly out of the bottom line.

"It's okay, it's okay. What is it called, 'three times over the goal without entering'? Ye Ruiyang is right, doesn't this guy know where the shooting button is? Xuexue laughed twice, probably to make the atmosphere more relaxed. After the game, he said the same thing in the dressing room, which made everyone laugh. But in that moment of frightening, the joke is not listened to, and it makes the person who is deeply involved even more anxious. The elder sister did not answer, but Mu Zheng analyzed a few words: Polytechnic's offense is a bit unsystematic, relying too much on Aqi's command and Aniwal's personal ability. No. 7 and No. 16 are undoubtedly the two best points of Polytechnic, but apart from them, the other players of Polytechnic may not be much better than us. Football is not something that can be solved by one or two people. Although the attack of Yizhong can only rely on Yan Xi's flash of inspiration, our defense has gradually become resilient and resilient after several tough battles, even if we will make mistakes, but as long as everyone is twisted into a rope, it is definitely not so simple to break our goal with individual performance.

"That's right, it's no longer that papier-mΓ’chΓ© line of defense." Mu Zheng's words made my sister reassured, "Actually, after watching these few shots, my own heart is getting stronger." ”

Hearing this, I suddenly felt that I should do more things in front of the door at that time, so that I could help my sister train and train my heart again.

"The coach used to say that we were good babies, but now we have learned how to fight. No matter how incomplete the lineup is, how much pressure the opponent puts on him. Our temperament has changed. 'Thousands of blows are still strong, and the wind is blowing, east and west, north and south'. Mu Zheng said, "It's a pity that I'm absent, it's a pity to think about it." ”

"If you're here, there won't be so many tough battles!" Xuexue snorted, "It's not easy for us this semester, starting from the third round of the group stage, every game is a battle of life and death, have you ever had such a miserable team?" ”

"Does Spain count as Spain in the World Cup in South Africa? He lost the first game, and then played more and more championships, eliminating Portugal, Paraguay and Germany 1-0 in three consecutive games, and the final against the Netherlands, which was beaten by Andres Iniesta in extra time. Mu Zheng replied, "That was the first time Spain won the championship." Iniesta also gave the goal to a friend who had died. I thought before that if we reached the final and Xuexue finished the final at the end of the game, and I was gone, would he give me the goal and the title like Andres Iniesta......"

"What do you mean? Damn, you're gone, don't talk about a rag Mayor's Cup, the World Cup winner is not worth a penny! Whoever wants it, whoever wants it! ”

"You're going too far, don't make such jokes."

"But I did think about it, when I was scared. This thought reassured me a little. Okay, I'm not going to just leave. I assure you. ”

People probably only talk about such things to their friends when they are not in a hurry, but this kind of calmness can also be divided into many situations: calmness in knowing that there is no longer a crisis, or calmness in understanding that everything is inevitable. Fortunately, time proved that Mu Zheng was not lying.

"Maybe we're the Spanish team." A few minutes later, my sister, who was once nervous, said this sentence, "If you win this game, you will really have a champion." ”

After entering the second half of the second half, our bounce finally came in the midst of Polytechnic's long-term attack. As Xuexue predicted, Xiao Qi replaced Ah Hui on the field, and also brought a new arrangement for the coach: Luka went to the midfield to defend Huo Yuqi. Full-backs targeting the heart of the opposition's midfield seem to be a very old-school tactical design. Xiao Qi was active on the right side of Luka's original guard, and his abundant physical fitness ensured that he could sprint back and forth. It was also during a defensive counterattack that he and Luka completed a long-distance "wall-hitting" near the center circle and broke through Polytechnic's midfield barrier. Xiao Qi took the ball to the left side of the front court, saw that Yan Xi was desperately rushing to the penalty area, and sent a pass over the top with his right foot. The ball passed a little wider, and Yan Xi rushed to the baseline before barely reaching the ball back with his right foot. The Polytechnic goalkeeper and defender both raised their hands in the air to signal that the ball was out of bounds, but the referee did not say anything. In a flash of lightning, Yan Xi shifted the ball to his left foot and found a slight angle. A bit of a reckless scramble by the opposing centre-back gave him a moment to catch his prey. After dodging lightly, Yan Xi completed the shot with his left foot. The goalkeeper pounced sideways, and the ball slipped through the gap between his legs the moment before he fell, rolling into the net almost gracefully, without hurrying or slowing. After watching the footage repeatedly, I could see the goal that I hadn't been able to see on the pitch – I had to turn off the sound, and the cheers from my mates in the stands shook the phones on the stand a little. Yan Xi must have endured the pain in his back, and did not celebrate too excitedly after the goal, as his companions gathered around him walked to the front of the stands, his hands comparing a full heart to the eyes that captured this exciting moment with the camera. The smugness between the eyebrows seems to be calling for the return of the front partner, and it seems so kind and cute today.

But they never teamed up again, and the away game against Xinjian was a swan song that no one could have predicted. As the saying goes, the forward combination that has been with us for two years has never had the opportunity to fight side by side in this life.

"Thousands of troops, the final word! The red robe of the middle school attached to the Polytechnic University was like a raging flame, and Yan Xi was a small white spray on the flame, extinguishing all the flames in a short moment! What determines victory or defeat is the ability to create opportunities, but also the ability to grasp opportunities! ”

But...... Maybe there's still a chance. Hearing my sister's voice through time, I suddenly felt that it was too early to say such things. We are destined to be separated, destined to be separated, but also destined to see each other again. I began to believe and look forward to it. Just like when the whistle blew at the end of that match, we believed we were destined to reach the final and lift the trophy.
