Chapter 39 How long can he hold on?
"Push forward! Keep running after passing the ball! Run! Don't stand and play! Where's the bad habit!"
Li Ziqiang's loud voice echoed on the court.
After the first week of freshness, there are obviously fewer people gathered around the stadium to watch the training. Except for those who really like football, they are Luo Kai's fans.
Li Qingqing and Song Jiajia come to watch Hu Lai train every time.
However, Song Jiajia always carries two mobile phones with him. Most of the time, he will hold his 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. Except when doing passing and receiving training, Yan Yan also needs to be paired with Hu Lai. At other times, Hu Lai Lai can do it all by himself, including dribbling the ball around the pile.
Li Qingqing cast his gaze in the direction of Hu Lai.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Li Qingqing always felt that Hu Lai's movements seemed more smooth and skillful than a week ago.
Although it is said that after receiving training, it will definitely be different from before receiving training, but isn't this change too fast?
So much so that Li Qingqing felt that it was 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 to have such an illusion.
Dad was right, he was still a blank slate.
Although white paper is easy to draw on, it also takes time to draw a good picture. You can't expect your painter to do it overnight and draw a good picture in one go.
She slightly turned her eyes away from Hu Lai and looked at the team that was training together.
Dad is leading them in offensive routine training.
Just yesterday, my father went to Jincheng, the provincial capital, to participate in the draw for the Andong Provincial Qualifiers for the National Middle School Football Championship and the Andong Provincial "Andong Cup" Middle School Football Championship.
Starting from this weekend, the qualifiers for the national competition in Anton Province will begin. Until the winter vacation, all the qualifiers will be played to finally determine a place to participate in the national competition next spring.
That is the dream spot for every football-loving teenager.
Li Qingqing knew that Dongchuan Middle School specially hired his father to coach in order to achieve this goal.
But this time, due to the temporary change of coach, everyone's time was very tight. The team's recruitment was delayed, and there was not much time left for the whole team to practice together. Under such hasty preparations, the team is about to usher in a big competition, and the person this team can currently rely on is another classmate of his.
Li Qingqing stood on the rostrum, condescending, and could clearly see that Luo Kai was the undisputed core of the offensive tactics his father was currently building.
Everyone must revolve around this core.
Of course Luo Kai is also qualified to be the core.
Even based on Li Qingqing's experience, Luo Kai is very outstanding among his peers.
※※※
Facing the incoming ball and the pressing of the defensive players, Luo Kai made a move to catch the ball, but when the football rolled over, he suddenly stepped back and turned around. After deceiving the defensive player who came up to press him, he easily caught the ball. Football that leaked over.
Luo Kai, who turned around, didn't even catch the ball, he just swung his foot. With the power of turning, he shot a powerful and heavy ball.
The football flew toward the goal like a cannonball.
"This ball..." Before the goalkeeper Meng Xi who was guarding the door could finish his words, the football had already flown into the goal he was guarding just halfway through his movements.
"...Mine." When he finally finished saying this, the football had bounced several times on the goal floor behind him.
His words, which were originally intended to demonstrate his sovereignty, turned into a proactive admission of responsibility for conceding the ball...
After scoring the goal, Luo Kai clenched his fist and waved it vigorously, as if to celebrate the goal.
Although this is just a goal in offensive training, not a game.
As expected, there was a burst of cheers from the sidelines.
While pumping his fists in celebration, Luo Kai also turned his attention to the rostrum and locked onto the tall figure.
It's not too difficult to find, because Li Qingqing's height and temperament are really conspicuous in a group of people.
He didn't know what happened between Li Qingqing and Hu Lai, and he didn't care why Li Qingqing was so close to Hu Lai. He was sure of one thing, Li Qingqing liked football.
She would watch every training session silently from the sidelines.
Since she likes football, she should know very well who is the best performer in football and who is the person worthy of entrusting her hopes and feelings.
Is there anyone else besides Luo Kai?
No.
Luo Kai didn't intend to go directly to trouble Hu Lai like an idiot like Li Zhiqun, even though he now disliked the brat who was getting more and more arrogant. But if he really does that, it will only make him lose his status and lose his dignity, and it will make Hu Lai look bad.
He will use his own way to regain the goddess in his heart.
That's football.
He believes that if Li Qingqing really understands football, she will definitely understand his efforts, and she will definitely not let him down.
And Hu Lai?
That lame guy is a good foil for me.
It is said that red flowers need green leaves, but Hu Lai is not even qualified to make green leaves, he can only make soil.
Behind his handsome figure pumping his fist, "Greenleaf" Meng Xi angrily punched the artificial turf of the school field: "Damn it!"
※※※
"I don't know why, but I always feel that Luo Kai seems to be very motivated..." During the break between training, Yan Yan was chatting with Chu Yifan about the stars in the team.
Chu Yifan smiled and said: "You were worried before that someone would join the team to show off. Isn't it good now? He has been training so seriously, how can other people have the nerve to be lazy?"
Yan Yan looked in the direction of Luo Kai and sighed: "How strong... So strong, I even think he should not 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 have really gone 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 just a formality. We just do some 'football exercises' and call it 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 time there are professional clubs going to the national competition to select young players for the echelon. "
"You've caught up too, Captain 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 did not intend to continue discussing this issue with Yan Yan, so he took the initiative to change the topic: "By the way, how is the Hu Lai you are responsible for?"
"There is progress, but that's it. I think he will never have a chance to play in this competition..." Yan Yan thought for a while and changed his words. "No, I think he won't have a chance to play in the three years of high school. We now have a total of thirty-six people, and he will never get a chance to play. To be honest, I don't know why the coach wants to recruit him. Come in..."
Chu Yifan turned to look at where Hu Lai was.
It was now a break in training and everyone was resting, but that kid didn't get such treatment. The coach personally went to catch him for training.
They were doing passing and catching exercises. The coach passed the football to Hu Lai, and Hu Lai had to stop these 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 places far away, which shows how powerful the coach's pass is.
Ten meters away from the coach, although Hu Lai raised 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 still bounced ten meters away. He fell back to the coach's feet.
Then the next second, everyone present heard the coach's roar: "Are you stopping and passing in one go? What are you doing! Stop the ball for ten meters! You think the football field is a prairie, and there are ten people around you. There’s no sign of Mi? Come again!”
Then there was another "Bang!"
Chu Yifan withdrew his gaze and looked at each other with Yan Yan.
This is not the first time such a scene has happened, and many people are even used to it. Although the new coach has strict requirements and usually looks very fierce, when they make mistakes during training, the coach is also rude when he scolds people.
But everyone can still feel that the coach treats them differently from Hu Lai.
Scolding other players is, after all, because those players made mistakes in training and deserve to be scolded.
But when you scold Hu Lai, you don't seem to need a reason at all. You can just scold him if you want.
Take this pass for example. In fact, everyone can see that the coach’s passing force is too strong. It is almost difficult to stop the ball at a distance of ten meters. It would not be easy for Luo Kai to stop the football. feet.
Of course, stopping the ball ten meters away is a bit too bad, but considering Hu Lai's status as a beginner, the coach's requirements for him seem to be too strict...
At first, Hu Lai tried to defend himself, saying that the coach passed the ball too hard, but after being scolded by the coach, he was fined. So now Hu Lai no longer refutes, 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, right?"
"Otherwise, I really can't explain why our coach sees Hu Lai as if he were an enemy. This is not training him, this is abusing him..." Yan Yan spread his hands. "I quite agree with what those high school freshmen said. This kid will probably regret being selected for the school team."
※※※
"I just said it, that kid will regret joining the school team sooner or later."
A little distance away from Chu Yifan and Yan Yan, there were many first-year high school players who had just joined the team. They were also attracted by the movement on the training ground just now.
Someone in the crowd said this, and many people immediately agreed.
"To be honest, I feel a little sympathy for him. Thinking about how happy he was when he first joined the team..."
"Yes, our coach is really fierce. Even if he just looks at me without saying a word, I feel palpitated. Not to mention being scolded by the coach like this..."
"Hey, how about we start a bet on when this kid will quit the team? I don't think he can last long..."
This proposal was quickly echoed by others.
"What a great idea! I don't think he can do it either. Don't talk about him. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to hold on for a week if I was scolded like that..."
"Then I bet he won't come next week!"
"Be confident, I bet he won't come tomorrow!"
"Poof!"
"You're going too far. I think he should be able to hold on for another two weeks. When the qualifiers started, he found that he couldn't play at all. I think he would have quit the team..."
Luo Kai sat in the crowd, quietly listening to the discussion of his teammates, and did not express an opinion aloud.
However, he is also happy to see Hu Lai withdraw from the team.
Because if Hu Lai really couldn't hold on anymore and quit the team, wouldn't that mean she told Li Qingqing that she was entrusted to a wrong person? When she saw clearly who Hu Lai was, Luo Kai thought that Li Qingqing would definitely return to his side.
Luo Kai firmly believes that his ability in football can win the favor of the goddess.
※※※
Li Qingqing stood on the rostrum. Next to her, Song Jiajia was sitting cross-legged on the ground, immersed in playing with his mobile phone.
Even the roar just now only made him raise his head briefly, and then he turned his attention back to the mobile game.
Li Qingqing frowned and stared at Hu Lai and his father.
She knows what kind of coach her father is. He is strict, harsh and stern. In the hearts of many players who have been trained by him, he can be called the "devil coach".
But Li Qingqing knows that this kind of severity is good for the players being trained.
Dad has trained many outstanding players, which shows his strength.
He's fierce and doesn't sound nice, but his training really works.
So you must hold on, Hu Lai. Don't give in. No matter how uncomfortable you feel in your heart or how tired your body is, you must persevere.
As long as you survive it, I believe you will see a rainbow!

PS: The Senior Official Cup looks very awkward, so I just changed it all.
Just change it to "Anton Cup".
