Chapter 38 How Long Can He Last?

"Front and forward! After passing the ball, keep running! Run! Don't stand up and kick the ball! Where did you come from!"

Li Ziqiang's loud voice echoed on the court.

After the freshman period of the first week, there are obviously fewer people around the stadium to watch the training. Except for those who really like football, only Luo Kai's fans are counted.

Li Qingqing and Song Jiajia would come to see Hu Lai's training every time.

It's just that Song Jiajia always carries two mobile phones with him, and most of the time he will hold the mobile phone next to Li Qingqing and concentrate on playing games.

After a week, Hu Lai is still doing basic training alone, but he no longer needs Yan Yan to teach him all the time. Except for passing and receiving training, Yan Yan also needs to be paired with Hu Lai. Lai can do it alone, including the training of dribbling around the pile.

Li Qingqing cast her gaze in the direction of Hu Lai.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Li Qingqing always felt that Hu Lai's movements looked smoother and more proficient than a week ago.

Although it is said that after receiving training, it will definitely be different from before receiving training, but this change is too fast, right?

So much so that Li Qingqing felt that it should be his own illusion—how could Hu Lai have made such rapid progress?

She smiled and shook her head, she must have cared too much about Hu Lai, that's why she had such an illusion.

Dad was right, he was still a blank slate.

Although white paper is good for painting, it takes time to draw a good painting. I can't hope that the painter can finish it overnight and draw a good painting in one go.

She slightly turned her eyes away from Hu Lai, and turned to the team that was training with the whole team.

Dad was leading them through offensive routine drills.

Just yesterday, Dad went to Jincheng, the capital of the province, to participate in the Anton Provincial Preliminary Tournament of the National Middle School Football Championship and the draw for the "Andong Cup" Middle School Football Championship of Andong Province.

Starting from this weekend, the national competition qualifiers in Anton Province will kick off. Before the winter vacation, all the qualifiers will be played, and finally a place will be determined to participate in the national competition next spring.

That is the dream of every teenager who likes football.

Li Qingqing knew that Dongchuan Middle School specially invited her father to teach in order to achieve this goal.

But this time, due to the temporary change of coaches, everyone's time is very tight, the team's recruiting has been delayed, and there is not much time left for the whole team to practice together. In such hasty preparations, the team is about to usher in a big game, and the team that can be relied on at present is another classmate of his own.

Li Qingqing stood on the rostrum, condescending, and could clearly see that Luo Kai was the core of the offensive tactics that Dad was creating now.

Everyone must revolve around this core.

Of course, Luo Kai also has the qualifications to be the core.

Even with Li Qingqing's knowledge, Luo Kai was very good among his peers.

※※※

Facing the incoming ball and the pressing of the defensive players, Luo Kai made a gesture to meet the ball, but when the football rolled over, he suddenly retreated and turned around. After the defensive players who came forward to press the ball were caught in the air, he easily caught it. The missed football.

Luo Kai, who turned around, didn't even catch the ball, he swung his feet directly, and with the strength of his turn, he shot a powerful kick.

The football flew towards the goal like a fired shell.

"This ball..." Meng Xi, the goalkeeper who was guarding the gate, hadn't finished his sentence, and only halfway through the action, the football had already flown into the goal he was guarding.

"... mine." By the time he finally finished the sentence, the football had bounced several times on the goal ground behind him.

Let his words that were originally to show his sovereignty become the meaning of voluntarily acknowledging responsibility for conceding the ball...

After scoring the goal, Luo Kai clenched his fist and waved it vigorously.

Seems to be celebrating the goal.

Although this is just a goal in offensive training, not a game.

Not surprisingly, there was a burst of cheers from the sidelines.

While throwing his fists in celebration, Luo Kai also turned his gaze to the rostrum, locking onto the tall figure.

It's not too difficult to find, because Li Qingqing's height and temperament are too conspicuous among a group of people.

He didn't know what happened between Li Qingqing and Hu Lai, and he didn't care why Li Qingqing and Hu Lai got so close. He was sure of one thing, Li Qingqing liked football.

She will silently watch every training session from the sidelines.

Since she likes football, she should know who is the best player in football and who is worthy of being entrusted with hope and affection.

Besides Luo Kai, is there anyone else?

No.

Luo Kai didn't intend to go directly to trouble Hu Lai like an idiot like Li Zhiqun, even though he didn't like that brat who was getting more and more arrogant now. But if he really did that, he would only make himself lose his status, and it would give Hu Lai a face.

He will use his own way to regain the goddess in his heart.

That is football.

He believes that if Li Qingqing really understands football, she must understand her own efforts, and she will definitely not let him down.

And Hu Lai?

That crappy guy is a good foil for himself.

It is said that safflower needs green leaves to match, but Hu Lai is not even suitable for green leaves, he can only make soil.

Behind his dashing back, "Green Leaf" Meng Xi angrily thumped the artificial turf of the school field: "Damn it!"

※※※

"I don't know why, but I always feel that Luo Kai seems to be full of energy..." During the break between training sessions, Yan Yan was chatting with Chu Yifan about the stars of the team.

Chu Yifan smiled and said, "Before you were worried that someone would join the team to play big names, isn't it good now? He has trained so seriously, how can others be lazy?"

Yan Yan looked in the direction of Luo Kai and sighed: "It's really strong...so strong, I don't even think he should be in an ordinary high school, but should go to a professional football school or a club echelon."

"If it weren't for the reform of the National Middle School Football Championship five years ago, people like him might really go to the echelon." Chu Yifan said. "I think our country is really determined to do a good job in football. Campus football has been called for so many years, but it has always been a mere formality. Some 'football drills' are called campus football. Now it is completely different. Middle school students across the country The football game is becoming more and more famous... It is said that this year there are professional clubs going to watch the national competition to select seedlings for the echelon. Luo Kai and the others really caught up with the good times."

"You caught up too, Team Chu." Yan Yan said.

Chu Yifan smiled and shook his head: "I only caught one tail."

"That's better than not catching up."

Chu Yifan didn't intend to continue discussing this issue with Yan Yan, he took the initiative to change the subject: "By the way, what happened to that Hu Lai you were in charge of?"

"I've improved, but that's it. I think he won't have the chance to play in this competition..." Yan Yan thought for a while, then changed his words. "No, it's because I don't think he will have the chance to play for three years in high school. There are thirty-six of us now, and it's never his turn to play. To be honest, I don't know why the coach recruited him. Come in……"

Chu Yifan turned his head to look at where Hu Lai was.

Now it's the training interval, everyone is resting, but that kid doesn't have such treatment, the coach personally went to catch him for training.

They were doing pass practice, the coach was passing the football to Holly, and Holly was going to stop those passes and then pass them back.

With a muffled bang, the coach kicked the football towards Hu Lai.

The sound can be heard clearly from far away from there, which shows how powerful the coach's pass is.

At a distance of ten meters from the coach, although Hu Lai lifted his foot to stop the ball as Yan Yan taught him before, after the football collided with his sneakers, it was like hitting an iron plate, and the ball bounced ten meters away. Falling back to the feet of the coach again.

Then in the next second, everyone present could hear the coach's roar: "Are you stopping and passing in one go? What are you doing! Stop the ball and stop for ten meters! You think the football field is a prairie, and you are surrounded by ten meters. Mi doesn’t even have a shadow? Come again!”

Then there was another "boom!"

Chu Yifan withdrew his gaze, and exchanged a glance with Yan Yan.

This is not the first time such a scene has happened, and many people have even gotten used to it. Although the new coaches have strict requirements, they usually look fierce. They made mistakes in training, and the coaches are not polite when they scold them.

But everyone can still feel that the coach treats them differently from Hu Lai.

Scolding other players, at least because those players made mistakes in training, should be scolded.

But scolding Hu Lai, it seems that there is no reason at all, just scold if you want to scold.

Take this pass for example. In fact, everyone can see that the coach's pass is too powerful. At a distance of ten meters, it is almost difficult to stop the ball. It is not easy to stop the football in Luo Kai. underfoot.

Of course, stopping the ball ten meters away is a bit too bad, but considering Hu Lai's beginner status, the coach's requirements for him seem to be too strict...

At the beginning, Hu Lai tried to defend himself, saying that the coach passed the ball too much, but after being scolded by the coach, he was punished again. So now Hu Lai doesn't refute anymore, anyway, whatever the coach says is what he says.

"I have a bold idea." Yan Yan said. "Maybe Hu Lai offended the coach somewhere..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Chu Yifan waved his hand. "The coach didn't know him before, did he?"

"Otherwise, I really can't explain why our coach sees Hu Lai as if he sees an enemy. This is not training him, but abusing him..." Yan Yan spread his hands. "I quite agree with what those first-year freshmen said. This kid should regret being selected for the school team."

※※※

"I just said, that kid will regret joining the school team sooner or later."

A little distance away from Chu Yifan and Yan Yan, there were a lot of freshmen who had joined the team, and they were also attracted by the movement on the training ground just now.

Someone in the crowd said so, and immediately got the approval of many people.

"To be honest, I feel a little sympathetic to him, thinking about how happy he was when he first joined the team..."

"Yeah, our coach is really fierce. Even if he just looks at me like this without saying a word, I feel palpitations. Not to mention being scolded by the coach..."

"Hey, why don't we start a game and bet on when this kid will quit the team? I don't think he can last long..."

This proposal was quickly echoed by others.

"Good idea! I don't think he can do it either. Don't talk about him. If I were scolded like that, I wouldn't be able to hold on for a week..."

"Then I bet he won't come next week!"

"Be confident, I bet he won't come tomorrow!"

"puff!"

"You guys are overdoing it. I think he should last for another two weeks. After the qualifiers started, he found that he couldn't play at all. I think he should quit the team..."

Luo Kai sat in the crowd, quietly listening to the discussion of his teammates, and did not express his opinion aloud.

But he is also happy to see Hu Lai's withdrawal from the team.

Because if Hu Lai really couldn't hold on and quit the team, wouldn't that tell Li Qingqing that she had entrusted her to no one? When she saw clearly who Hu Lai was, Luo Kai thought that Li Qingqing would definitely come back to him.

Luo Kai firmly believes that his strength in football will definitely win the favor of the goddess.

※※※

Li Qingqing was standing on the rostrum, and Song Jiajia beside her was already sitting cross-legged on the ground, concentrating on playing with his mobile phone.

Even the roar just now made him raise his head briefly before turning his attention back to the mobile game.

Li Qingqing frowned and stared at Hu Lai and her father.

She knows what kind of coach her father is. He is harsh, harsh, and strict. In the hearts of many players who have been trained by him, he is called a "devil coach".

But Li Qingqing knew that this kind of strictness was good for the players being trained.

Dad has trained many outstanding players, which shows his strength.

He's fierce and has a bad voice, but his training really pays off.

So hold on, Hu Lai. Don't retreat, no matter how uncomfortable your heart is, no matter how tired your body is, you must persevere.

As long as you survive, I believe you will see the rainbow!

PS, I found that the word shengzhang cup has been automatically replaced with Gaoguan cup. Originally, shengzhang cup and shizhang cup are football matches for middle school students that exist objectively, so this name is also used.

After being replaced with the Senior Official Cup, it looks very awkward, so I just changed it all together.

It was directly renamed "Anton Cup".

Hereby explain.
