Chapter 97 I Don't Want to Go Home Yet
"Hurry up and go out! Everyone is assembled!" In the corridor of the dormitory building where Dongchuan Middle School lived, Yan Yan's loud voice sounded. "Hurry up!"
He walked from room to room, shouting. If someone closes the door, he knocks on it hard.
The sound of bang bang echoed in the corridor.
Someone opened the door and complained: "Don't rush! I'll be right away!"
Someone yelled through the door: "I'm going to the bathroom!"
Others had already packed up, walked out of their room wearing uniform sportswear and carrying a uniform sports bag, and stood at the door waiting for other teammates to appear.
The mess in the corridor lasted for about ten minutes, and all the players from Dongchuan Middle School were fully dressed and appeared in front of the head coach Li Ziqiang.
"Okay, let's go." Li Ziqiang nodded, and a group of people rushed out of the dormitory.
Some people have longing, some people are in a disturbed mood, and some people have serious expressions that are a little scary...
They are about to usher in their first game in the national competition.
When they came to the parking lot, Lin Jin was already waiting for them in front of their bus, waving at them enthusiastically.
However, there were not many people in Dongchuan Middle School who responded to her. Except for Hu Lai, everyone else turned their attention to the other bus next to her.
A group of depressed peers were wearing uniforms, carrying backpacks and dragging suitcases, queuing up next to the bus to put their luggage.
It's from Garden High School.
After yesterday's opener, their trip to the Nationals comes to an end.
After losing the game, they were not in the mood to visit the capital, but arranged to return today.
Dozens of people gathered together, except for the sound of walking footsteps and the sound of the wheels of the suitcase rubbing on the ground, there was no other sound at all.
This scene made the players of Dongchuan Middle School feel sorry for each other.
If they lost to that Xizi Middle School, they would appear here in this state tomorrow.
Chu Yifan took a deep breath, then turned around and said to his teammates: "Get in the car, hurry up, we have to warm up and get used to the field."
After everyone got on the bus, the bus closed its doors and quickly drove out of the parking lot.
And when they left, the Huayuan High School players were still queuing up to put their luggage.
The Dongchuan Middle School players in the car were still watching them until they could no longer see the bus in their field of vision.
Seeing them like this, Lin Jin thought they were frightened by the scene just now, so she became nervous. She was about to get up to comfort and encourage these young players, when she saw Chu Yifan standing up and facing she comes.
"Sister Lin, can you lend me the microphone of the bus?"
Chu Yifan said to her very politely.
"Ah? Okay, no problem, you can use it." Lin Jin handed him the microphone and added, "It's already on, just talk."
"Thank you, Sister Lin." After thanking Chu Yifan, he took the microphone, turned to his teammates in the car and said, "Did you all see it just now? That is the garden that was eliminated in the first round and went home." high school."
None of the teammates spoke, and everyone sat up straight from their seats, looking up at the captain at the front.
"I saw them in the cafeteria when we first came here. I don't know if people noticed, but I did. I paid attention to every team that came to the Nationals. Everyone's There are smiles on their faces, and they are full of longing for the national competition. But now, any longing is useless. If you lose the game, you have to pack your bags and go home. Let me ask everyone, do you want to go back to Dongdong tomorrow? Chuan?"
Hu Lai yelled, "I don't want to!!"
As soon as he took the lead, the others also shouted: "No! We don't want to!"
"I don't want to either!" Chu Yifan said to them. "So we must beat that Xizi Middle School! They should go home instead of us! I know everyone is participating in the national competition for the first time,
It is inevitable that you will be a little nervous, but when you are nervous, think about what you saw in the parking lot just now, and think about it, do we have to queue up in the parking lot with our luggage at this time tomorrow? "
Yan Yan jumped up and raised his arms and shouted: "Damn Xizi Middle School!"
More people howled after him: "Fuck them!!"
Behind Chu Yifan, Lin Jin stared dumbfounded at the group of excited Dongchuan Middle School players, as if she didn't need her comfort and encouragement at all...

Although the opening ceremony of the national competition was held at the Bird's Nest Stadium, and the opening game was also played there, this does not mean that all the national competition games will be held in the Bird's Nest, otherwise it would not be possible to arrange.
All games will be distributed to other stadiums in the capital, especially those university football stadiums.
The match between Dongchuan Middle School and Xizi Middle School was played in a university stadium in the capital.
Although it is a college football field, the scale is far smaller than the bird's nest, but the sparrow is small and complete. There are stands, locker rooms, referee lounges and other facilities that should be there.
The stadium is open to the outside world, and anyone who goes through a simple security check can enter the stadium to watch the game without buying tickets or having any credentials.
And this is not only the case in the first round of competition, but also in all competitions in the national competition. Even for the final final, it was only a symbolic distribution of free tickets to some social groups or guests, and the total number was not even 10,000. Except for the seats reserved for the cheerleaders of both sides in the final, all the remaining seats were vacant. Leave it for anyone who wants to come and see the game.
After all, football matches for middle school students are public welfare and cannot be operated commercially. It doesn't make sense for the organizing committee to earn this ticket money.
So when the match between Dongchuan Middle School and Xizi Middle School started, there were already many people sitting in the stands, and most of them were students from this university.
Many of them were once participants in the national competition, and many of them spent their three years of high school in the environment of the national competition, so they will naturally come to support the current national competition.
These people are neither fans of Dongchuan Middle School nor supporters of Xizi Middle School, they are very neutral.
But because of this, no matter which team played well, they could win the applause and applause of everyone in the stands, which made the atmosphere of this game very warm.
Just like now, there was a burst of loud cheers from the stands.
"Wow! That No. 11 from Dongchuan Middle School is so strong!"
"He is also handsome, and his serious side face is really awesome!"
"Hey, are you here to watch the ball or the people..."
"Look at the human ball, can't you!"
"By the way, is this Dongchuan Middle School really participating in the national competition for the first time? Why is it so strong?!"
"Looking at the people in Xizi Middle School, I feel like I've been beaten into a daze... Suddenly I feel a little sympathetic to them..."
There was a lot of discussion and cheers in the stands.
On the court, the players from Xizi Middle School really seemed to have been beaten into a daze. They stood still and let the players from Dongchuan Middle School run past them cheering, and then hugged the teammate who scored the goal.
At the same time, the commentator of this game said: "This is Luo Kai's second goal in this game! He dribbled forward quickly and scored a beautiful long shot! His goal also helped Dongchuan Middle School leads Xizi Middle School 3:0! There are 25 minutes left before the end of the game, Xizi Middle School is in a very dangerous situation now, if they don't want to be eliminated in the first round again, then they have to hurry up!"
※※※
After Luo Kai's goal, the Dongchuan Middle School's bench was full of cheering and celebrating players, which meant that their hopes of advancing to the quarter-finals were greatly increased.
The team leader teacher also stood up and applauded the team's performance.
As the head coach, Li Ziqiang did not participate in the celebration, but turned around and looked at the players on the bench.
Now that the team has achieved a three-goal lead, and there is not much time left before the end of the game, should we consider substitutions and rotations so that more players can go up and feel the atmosphere of the national competition?
If there are substitutions, there is a quota limit. The national competition stipulates that each team can only change up to three players per game.
But there are so many substitute players, who should go up?
Li Ziqiang's eyes fell on Hu Lai.
"Go warm up, Holly!" he yelled.
Hu Lai threw down his teammates who were still celebrating the goal, quickly put on the yellow vest, and ran to the warm-up area like a rabbit.
He knew that he was going to play.
