Chapter 96 Dreams Into Reality

It is the third day of the national competition, which is also the first day of the official start of the national competition.

After eating in the cafeteria at noon, after a short rest, we went to the parking lot to gather for a ride.

Their destination is the Bird's Nest Stadium not far away.

In fact, it takes only ten minutes to walk from the Olympic Village to the Bird's Nest. But in order to show importance, all players have to go by car.

This is also convenient for management.

Otherwise, in a ten-minute journey, some people walk fast, some people walk slowly, and no one can be found halfway. It would be too undignified for passers-by to see the contestants dragging their feet in a long line...

So it was "overwhelming" and let everyone take the bus.

In the car, the players of Dongchuan Middle School saw their "guide sister" Lin Jin again.

Seeing the players, Lin Jin was also very happy, with a very bright smile on his face: "Everyone looks very energetic, that's right! It seems that you have lived in the Olympic Village these two days not bad? When you arrive at the place in a while, you must pay attention. Listen to my instructions, don't run around, there is no rehearsal for our entrance ceremony, so we need to be successful... Of course, you don't have to be nervous, just follow the team in front of you, walk past the rostrum, and then go around to the stage. Go to the court... Don't worry, everyone, there will be a lady of etiquette in front of each team to guide you..."

Chu Yifan put the neatly stacked team flags on his knees, stroked them with both hands, and listened attentively to Lin Jin's description of the process.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, he will unfurl this banner in front of the TV camera, in front of tens of thousands of spectators, and in front of those leaders and colleagues.

Since entering high school, he has had the same dream every year, that is, he represented Dongchuan Middle School in the national competition.

It wasn't until the third year of high school that the dream came into reality.

And this is thanks to the two freshmen in high school.

Thinking of this, he set his sights on Luo Kai and Hu Lai respectively.

One was wearing earphones and swiping his phone, while the other was happily chatting with Mao Xiao and Meng Xi. It was too noisy in the car and he couldn't hear clearly.

In the past two days, Chu Yifan has also observed secretly, and found no marks on the faces of Hu Lai and Luo Kai, and the two of them are in the same situation as usual when they were in the team...

It seems that we get along fairly well, and there are no conflicts.

Thinking of this, Chu Yifan, the captain, felt much more at ease.

He was afraid that the two of them would have conflicts in the dormitory, which would make everyone panic and affect the team's performance in the national competition.

Now it seems that the two people still know each other...

In other words, the conflict between the two is actually not as exaggerated as Yan Yan said, what "one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers", what "the king does not see the king"...

Alas, when it comes to Yan Yan, there are so many coquettish thoughts in his head all day long, and he doesn't know whether it will be reassuring to hand over the captain's armband to him after graduation.

Can this person really be as calm as himself?

"Hey, Captain Chu, what are you thinking about?" Chu Yifan was thinking about Yan Yan, and Yan Yan came up and put his arms around his neck.

"I miss you." Chu Yifan gave him a supercilious look.

"Wow, you still miss me at this moment? I didn't know that you were treating me..." Yan Yan was shocked.

"roll roll roll!"

Yan Yan laughed and said: "Chu team, don't be distracted. When the time comes, you forget to wave the flag in front of the rostrum. This trip will be in vain..."

"Go to hell, we didn't come here to wave the flag..."

While Chu Yifan was talking, suddenly someone in the carriage exclaimed:

"Look, bird's nest!"

Everyone looked out of the car window, and sure enough, the famous stadium stood under the blue sky and white clouds.

Today's weather is fine, and the stadium lining is extraordinarily beautiful under the afternoon sun.

On the square outside the stadium, flagpoles were erected, all of which were promotional flags for the 6th National High School Football Championship.

A dense crowd is walking under these flags,

Heading to the stadium - they're all fans coming to watch the opening ceremony and opener.

Hu Lai was almost lying on the car window, looking greedily at everything outside the car window.

The magnificent stadium, the flag fluttering in the wind, the game mascot played by people, the satellite OB truck, the police in charge of security... and the fans who poured into the stadium in a steady stream.

Some of them are middle school students who are about the same age as themselves, some are parents with children, and some are even gray-haired old people...

In the world before him, how could there be so many people watching football games for middle school students?

There can be a thousand people in the stands, which is considered a big scene.

Perhaps the stories that happened in this world before are the same as the world he traveled to, but now this world is trying to change those old and decayed things. They touched the cakes of many people, they have fearless courage, and they still have a long time to live plan, and have the determination to stick to it...

It's an amazing world!

When Chu Yifan led the team past the rostrum, he swung the flagpole in his hand forward vigorously.

With this movement, the flag that was originally held in his hand was thrown away, drew an arc in the air, circled the flagpole, and finally hung down, being unfolded in the camera lens.

The sun shines through the yellow silk flag, making the four characters of "Dongchuan Middle School" very conspicuous.

At the same time, on the TV, the host of Capital Satellite TV said emotionally: "The football team of Dongchuan Middle School is playing now! They are from Dongchuan City, Andong Province! They defeated Jincheng's football team in last year's qualifiers. Jiaxiang High School, a strong football school, has obtained the qualification to represent Anton High School Football in the national competition, and this is their first time to participate in the national competition!"

There were huge cheers from the stands, and the people of the capital gave the warmest applause and cheers to every team that came to participate in the national competition, showing the friendship of the host.

The old principal Zhai Guangming was sitting in his office, the door was locked by him, and the live broadcast of the opening ceremony of the 6th National High School Football Championship was playing on the TV hanging on the wall.

Seeing the Dongchuan Middle School players walking past the camera with their heads held high, he also laughed, and then his eyes drifted to the metal plaque hanging in front of the other side.

Under the reflection of the sunlight outside the window, the words on the plaque are still clear despite the wind and frost, and it is obvious that they are well taken care of.

It is hereby awarded to Dongchuan Middle School:

"Football Tradition Strong School" honorary title

NCAA

1995.05

After walking on the rostrum, the players of Dongchuan Middle School followed Miss Manners to their place on the field and stood there, waiting for the other teams to finish walking.

Then came the leader's speech.

Change the leader and speak again.

The leader said, "I will say the last two sentences."

The leader said "contains the following three points".

The leader said, "I wish this competition a complete success!"

The players of each team in the stadium clapped and applauded desperately. His palms were all red from the slaps, and his face was red from excitement or exposure to the sun.

Amidst cheers and whistles, the balloon box that had been prepared long ago was opened, and countless colorful balloons flew into the sky, like festive fireworks.

The 6th National High School Football Championship officially opened.

※※※

After the opening ceremony, each team did not return to the Olympic Village, but went directly to the stands, sat in the area specially reserved for them, and enjoyed the following simple cultural performances and the opening game after the cultural performances.

Renmin High School in the capital of the home team played against Huayuan High School in Nanhan City, Yuezhou Province.

Renmin Middle School ranked fifth in the last competition, while Huayuan High School ranked 26th. The strength gap between the two sides is as huge as this ranking, so there should be no suspense.

Amidst the roaring cheers of the home fans, Renmin Middle School from the capital took the initiative and laid a siege to Huayuan High School.

In the first half, Renmin High School took a two-goal lead, and in the second half, they didn't have the slightest intention to stay strong, and continued to bombard the penalty area of ​​Huayuan High School indiscriminately.

Let the capital fans in the stands excited.

This was the first time for Hu Lai to watch a national competition. He hadn't even watched it online, let alone at the scene.

The atmosphere of the scene and the competition between the two sides made him fully feel something completely different from the Anton Cup.

If he is still shocked that the Anton Cup can be played in the Provincial Sports Center and that Jiaxiang High School has its own cheerleading team, then it will be too insignificant to come to the national competition field...

In the end, both sides scored another goal in the second half, and Renmin High School defeated Huayuan High School 3:1.

And the national competition of Huayuan High School came to an end.

Seeing the Huayuan High School players crying on the court, the Dongchuan Middle School players all fell silent.

They recalled what Mao Xiao had said about last year's national competition, the tragic situation after the defending champion Chongwen Middle School was eliminated in the first round by Shuguang High School.

At that time, just hearing what Mao Xiao said, I felt that the scene must be very tragic. Now that I saw the actual scene, everyone was still greatly shocked.

Thinking about the players of Huayuan High School, they must have broken through many obstacles in the qualifiers in their province, defeated one opponent after another, and finally came here with the expectation of high school football in the province.

As a result, the first day of the opening ceremony was eliminated...

Tomorrow they will pack their bags and return home.

For them, the national competition was so short, it really seemed like a dream.

Every audience at the scene gave applause to the eliminated Huayuan High School.

And the Huayuan High School players supported each other, and they had to line up to thank the audience in the stands with tears in their eyes...

"It's cruel..." someone from Dongchuan Middle School murmured.

For the Dongchuan Middle School players who participated in the national competition for the first time, this scene was really shocking.

During the opening ceremony, they were all looking forward to their future in the national competition, but now, they have all seen the cruelty of the national competition.

The single-game elimination system does not allow any team to make mistakes, winning or losing in one game determines the fate of the team for a year.

Will we be like Garden High? Someone thought anxiously.

Others thought: No, I don't want to be like them!
