Chapter 387 The King of Football (Second update, please subscribe)
High temperature, sunshine and the noise of reading English finally woke Jiangdong from his deep sleep. He frowned and stared at the ceiling. Actually woke up again.
It was impossible to sleep peacefully anymore, and besides, he didn’t have the habit of sleeping in, so he might as well get up.
What next?
He sat on the edge of the bed in the dormitory and thought. The dormitory, which is less than twenty square meters, looks empty. The roommates must be in the library now.
Jiangdong took out the watch from under his pillow. Two years ago, when he received it from Kuching University, his uncle gave him the plum blossom watch that had been with him for more than ten years.
“Well done, we finally have a college student in our family. After entering such a university, it’s easy to read the time with a watch! Time is like gold, so you have to study hard and read good books. , It will be easy to build the country in the future, fight against the war and build the country. Now, it is finally your turn to build the country."
When the uncle spoke, it was unclear what the expression was on his dark face. It was the last moment between him and his uncle. One side, and then there were only a few letters, until a few days ago, a letter came from my mother, and my uncle was killed on the battlefield.
The uncle who said he had fought all the battles in his life died just like that.
“Huh…”
Taking a deep breath, the voice of the schoolmate reciting English loudly came from outside the door.
Brushing his teeth and washing his face as quickly as possible. When Jiangdong was washing his face, he looked at himself in the mirror and thought of his uncle again, whom he had not seen for eight years. When he learned that he was admitted to college, The look in his eyes full of hope when he specifically asked for leave to see him.
Finally, Jiangdong still didn’t go to the library as originally planned. He found a seat in that crowded place, spent the whole day studying, and spent 5 cents on a few pork and green onion stuffings. The buns were settled after breakfast. Now, he is sitting on the grass beside the school playground, enjoying the football match on the field that is not a game.
There is no doubt that the teaching facilities of all schools in Nanyang are first-class. As the highest university in the Kingdom of Sarawak, the facilities of the University of Kuching are naturally even more so, and its playground is also very high-it The football lawn here is very good. The grass on the field is lush and green, so green that it can submerge the instep of a person when he steps on it. The ground is made of loess and charcoal slag, which has good hardness and elasticity. It's no big deal if you fall or roll around. In the past two years, Jiang Dong, a member of the school team, has always sweated and vented on this ground. With the excess physical strength of youth.
Football and basketball are the most popular games in almost all schools. For many years, the Chinese team has dominated the Far East in the Far East. People love to watch athletes playing for the country. To gain glory, and the students also love to play.
Watching the two groups of people on the field fighting on the grass at lightning speed, Wang Dong felt a little depressed. "I can't do it, I can't do it!"
Sun Kun from the Department of Chemistry turned a corner while running and walked straight to Next to Wang Dong, he fell on the lawn with his back up, shouting,
"I really can't move anymore. Damn, I'm so exhausted!"
Looking at him as if he saw a savior. Yes, said.
"Dongzi, come on, come on,..."
Jiangdong, who was staring at the court in a dull mood, said hello to the others and joined the game, and the game started again. As a member of the school team, Jiangdong, who is new to the field, has not yet shown his kicking skills, but his running speed makes others dumbfounded.
Kodong’s method of playing football is so simple to the point of monotony. The moment he catches the ball, he just makes a strong move and then chases after the ball. Unless the opponent is waiting for him on his route, it will be difficult to stop him. Looking at him. Moreover, his body is also very flexible. If two or three powerful defenders did not use the method of "reasonable body collision", the defense line would probably collapse soon.
In everyone's eyes, Jiangdong's incredible speed and dexterity, coupled with his endurance, make him a tank-like presence on the court.
"Stop him! You must stop him, don't let him enter the restricted area!"
Feng Lei from the Department of Physics shouted loudly, directing three or five other team members.
"Glasses, glasses, watch the goal and don't come out!"
"Don't stare at the ball, don't stare at the ball! Stare at others! Just stare at him!"
Under the tight marking of the opponent Jiangdong, who had already rushed to the penalty area with a right sway, turned around and got rid of the two defenders entangled with him, turned slightly sideways, adjusted his pace, and then strode diagonally, facing Feng Lei who was unable to block him, and looked at him He looked at the position of the goal and goalkeeper, raised his right leg, and heard the sound of the collision between his foot and the football.
Shoot.
The ball went in!
...
Finally, after a not-so-fierce game, Jiang Dong sat down on the grass.
Sun Kun ran to him with a soda.
"Get Dongzi, steam...water!"
Sun Kun's voice suddenly became very long, his eyes widened and he looked at the person who came from nowhere, Most of the others also had stunned expressions.
Only Jiangdong, who was sitting on the grass, had not yet reacted.
"I heard Coach Holft said that you are a member of the school football team?"
Until the words with a Cantonese accent came into his ears, because the person who came had a light on his back, Jiangdong didn't even know that he was a member of the school football team. I didn't see clearly who this person was.
On the side, Sun Kun was already shouting excitedly. "Ball, ball king, ball king..."
The King of Football, until this moment, Jiang Dong finally recognized who the person was.
“You are Li Huitang!”
Standing up suddenly, Jiang Dong confirmed again.
“Yes, I am Li Huitang!”
Li Huitang smiled.
Li Huitang can be said to be the most famous football star in Tangshan. There was a saying in Tangshan: "Watch the theater to watch Mei Lanfang, and watch the football to watch Li Huitang." He once led the national team to participate in the Far Eastern Games football matches many times and won the championship for the national team 4 times.
Just a few months ago, he led his team to participate in the Olympic Games held in London, England - in fact, Nanyang also received invitations to this Olympics, and indeed sent athletes, including Singapore, Myanmar and the Philippines also sent people to participate. However, everyone is the same, that is, they just go there to raise the flag, and the important thing is to participate.
This is not because Li Yi'an does not pay attention to sports, but because Nanyang currently does not have the financial resources to engage in "national system" sports. Only universities have school sports teams. When he received the invitation to the Olympics, he was in the United States discussing the "Berlin Crisis" with Truman. Naturally, they didn't care about this matter. The athletes participating in the Olympics were all selected from universities and were true amateurs.
Li Huitang, who led the team to participate in the Olympic Games, did not return to China immediately after the game. Instead, he stayed in the UK to obtain a diploma as a British football head coach and received an international referee certificate issued by FIFA, becoming the first Tangshan player A person qualified as an international referee.
While passing through Singapore, he had never been to Nanyang and transferred a boat from Singapore to Kuching. The arrival of the football champion immediately caused a sensation in Kuching. Moreover, Kuching itself has many Cantonese people. The Chamber of Commerce immediately sent him an invitation to establish a football club.
To this, Li Huitang did not immediately agree. After learning that Kuching University had a school team and that the coach of the school team was actually from the German "Viennese" team, he immediately became interested in this school team. After all, in the past, there were No team has ever hired a coach from a top German club.
And this is just a university. Even if many professors in the university are from Germany, it is very unimaginable that a German football coach will teach here.
Unexpectedly, when he first came to school, he saw a good prospect. This guy's skills, strength and endurance were very good, and it could be seen from the other players at a glance that they must have been trained by the system. The training is very professional.
Coach Holft, who came from the German "Vienna" team, is indeed very capable!
But because of this, Li Huitang became even more curious.
"If you play football so well, why didn't you represent Nanyang in the Olympics in London?"
"Play well?"
Jiangdong didn't even react for a moment, and then he shook his head quickly and said .
"We play very average football. The best team in football is the "Red Hunters" team of the Air Force. Compared with them, we are just a group of students."
Sun Kun on the side also followed suit. .
"Hey, Dongzi, you think too highly of yourself. How can you be so proud of yourself? In front of the "Red Hunter", since when have we been students? We are obviously just a group of kindergarten babies..."
Feng Lei also said loudly.
"That's right, Dongzi, you played well, but you can't shame yourself like this."
"That's right, that's right, people must be self-aware."< br>
Although he knew that this was just a joke from young people, their words still made Li Huitang immediately interested in the "Red Hunter" and he asked curiously.
""Red Hunters"? I have never heard of them. They are also a team?"
"Yes, it is the Air Force team! The best team in Nanyang!"
Feng As soon as Lei finished speaking, Jiang Dong said.
“Not only in Nanyang, I dare say that it can be ranked first in the whole world!”
Oops!
Their words made Li Huitang full of curiosity about this team. He was curious about what kind of team could be so respected by people.
It is ranked number one all over the world!
He had never heard of a "red hunter" in the past.
