Chapter 131 This is your choice
"Hey, have you heard? Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Rui actually went to the coach and asked for extra practice!"
"What? You're lying, right?"
"Why am I lying to you? I saw it with my own eyes today. Before morning reading, Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Rui walked out of the football field. They were covered in sweat, especially Chen Rui, who had white hair on his head. It's like being steamed..."
"So exaggerated?"
"It's not an exaggeration at all. The two of them look exhausted. They must have just finished training. Hasn't our coach been training Deputy Hu all the time?"
"Did they go to train with Deputy Hu?"
"That's right! I ran to confirm at noon. I'm training with Deputy Hu!"
"Damn, these two people... are so cunning! They actually sneaked away to give me extra training! No, I have to go too!"
"Are you going too? What are you going to do?"
"Go to training! Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Rui are the main players, right? They are still working so hard. If I don't go, won't I be pulled further and further away from them? Let me tell you, don't look at us now We can only play as substitutes. But what about next year? If all the seniors are withdrawn next year, is it our turn? If we can’t keep up, wouldn’t the vacant positions be reserved for the freshmen? What monster will come next year..."
"Hey, what you said seems to make sense..."
"Please remove the word "like". I have to train anyway! Don't I just have to arrive at school half an hour early every day? What a big deal!"
"Then I'll go too!"
……
"Do you know? Xia Xiaoyu, Chen Rui, Li Xiang, and Liu Yiwei went to practice extra with Deputy Hu!"
"What?! They are too cunning! Why don't you call me!"
"Shen Yulin, are you going too?"
"Of course I want to go!"
"Then I will come too, go together!"
……
"By the way, I heard something. The new players who were freshmen in high school ran together to participate in the extra training in the morning and noon!"
"What? Isn't that extra training specially prepared by the coach for Hu Lai?"
"Yes, but now a group of high school students are practicing with Hu Lai all day long."
"Eh? Can we practice together? I always thought this training was only for Hu Lai..."
"I have never thought about this. I have to say that those first-year students are very tricky... It is said that Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Rui went to find the head coach at first. Unexpectedly, the coach actually agreed... and then the two of them I practiced with Hu Lai, and then for some reason, more and more people gathered together, and in the end all the first-year players went to practice with me..."
"Hey, let me tell you, we seem to be looked down upon by the freshman in high school..."
"I also think it totally makes us look like a bunch of lazy people!"
"No, I want to go too!"
"Count me in!"
"Damn it, we can't be looked down upon by those freshman in high school! It makes us not as willing to endure hardship as they do!"
"I'm going to ask Classes 7 and 8 if we want to go together!"
"We, the sophomores, must unite and not be outcompeted by the freshmen!"
……
"Those high school freshmen and high school sophomores are so arrogant! They secretly went to practice extra without even saying a word to us seniors! What's the matter, do you think we have no time to train since we are seniors? Damn it! No matter how heavy the study task is, there is no time for training. There are still some! ”
"Yes, if we really don't have time to train, then why don't we seniors just quit the team?"
"Captain Yan, go tell the coach. Don't do any extra training. Just normalize the training before morning reading and lunch break and make it the training time for our whole team!"
"That's a good idea from Tang Yuan, Captain Yan. Why can they go to practice in their first and second years of high school while we have to do exercises in the classroom? As long as the team is training normally, we should go and no one can stop us. Us!”
"Yes, yes, when we reach the national competition, the first and second graders in high school will go through training. What if our position is taken away? We must not fall behind others!"
A group of senior members of Dongchuan Middle School's football team gathered outside Yan Yan's classroom, chatting around their captain.
Yan Yan, who had always remained silent before, frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head to face everyone's earnest eyes.
"Okay, I'll go and tell the coach that if we want to practice, we can practice together. What does it mean to only practice for the first and second grade students?"
“Team Yan is wise!”
"How about we go together? There are so many people and we are so powerful. The coach is embarrassed to refuse so many of us, right?"
"Okay, then we will gather here after lunch today and then go find the coach together!" Yan Yan made the final decision.

Hu Lai felt that these days were really magical. He had been training one-on-one with the coach for several months, and he was used to this boring but fulfilling special training.
As a result, starting from noon this Monday, his peaceful training life was broken...
The first ones to come were Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Rui. They suddenly went crazy and wanted to train extra hard with him.
The head coach didn't know what was wrong, but he actually agreed to them!
Just like opening Pandora's box, the next development of the situation was completely beyond Hu Lai's imagination, and it was out of control.
All the first-year players appeared on the sidelines and asked the head coach to allow them to train together. They also pointed at Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Rui and used them as examples. Why can they do it but we can’t?
So the head coach asked them if they had eaten much for lunch...
Then, Hu Lai saw his sophomore teammates Mao Xiao and Meng Xi on the sidelines, and they also came to ask to join the training.
As a result, today, when he was doing strength training with his teammates in the first and second grade of high school, his teammates in the third grade, led by Captain Yan, came towards them in a mighty manner!
After a few words, these seniors happily joined the team and started training with them...
Hu Lai was stunned - this was the devil's special training! If we all go out for an outing together, why are you all so happy?
I practice like I'm dying every day. Do you think I'm kidding you?
Okay, let's die together.

On Thursday morning, all the players of the Dongchuan Middle School football team came to the school early and gathered on the football field. They didn't even go to their classrooms, their bags were left in the locker room.
Head coach Li Ziqiang stood in front of all the players, looked at them, and said with a straight face: "This was originally the training content I designed for Hu Lai. Since you have to follow suit, I can't lower the training requirements and training requirements just to accommodate you. Intensity. I told you in advance that the training in the morning and noon will be very intense. I believe the first-year players who have trained with me for two days have already experienced it.”
Many of the first-year high school players in the team had expressions of pain on their faces.
"So I give you one last chance. If you are not willing to endure such training intensity, you can choose to give up. It will not affect your normal training in the afternoon, nor will it affect your chances of playing. This is training outside of normal training. Your performance in training is not included in the evaluation of daily training, but if you choose. If you choose to stay, you must persist. I will not allow anyone to quit casually, because the training plan will definitely take the entire team into consideration. If someone quits midway, they will not be able to keep up with the team. The training rhythm has changed, and I’m sorry, you may not be able to get a chance to play.”
Having said this, Li Ziqiang looked at the players with changing expressions on their faces: "Now, whoever wants to quit can leave directly."
After that, he stopped talking and stood aside, not even looking at the players anymore.
In the team that he couldn't see, everyone looked at each other. You looked at me, I looked at you. The changes in the expressions on their faces fully demonstrated the entanglement in their hearts. Then everyone's eyes became the same. Players from each grade would turn their attention to teammates from other grades, as if they wanted to see if any of them would quit...
Under such mutual gazes, when the senior players showed confusion, the expressions on their faces became determined as soon as they saw the teammates of the first and second grade students - they must not be looked down upon by the juniors!
When the sophomore players were unsure about their decision, they immediately gritted their teeth when they saw their teammates in the freshman and senior years - they must not be looked down upon by their seniors!
The first-year players looked at their sophomore and junior teammates and thought - we have practiced a few more days than our seniors, and we have all adapted to the training intensity. How could we desert under such circumstances? Whoever quits has no balls!
So under this situation of looking at each other, no one stood up from the team and left.
After a full minute, Li Ziqiang turned his attention to them again: "It seems that no one quits? Well, this is what you asked for. When you feel tired and miserable, don't complain that I didn't give you a chance. Since the whole team has Agree to add two training sessions every day, then we will focus on the training content Let’s make a new allocation. We will focus on physical fitness in the morning, strength training at noon, and all training in the afternoon will be adjusted to ball training. Extracting the physical fitness, strength, and physical training content from the usual afternoon training will help us better Do technical and tactical training”
This is the new training plan that Li Ziqiang considered after going back last night.
Although he didn't quite understand why these players suddenly had to participate in morning and noon training as if they were on a drug. But for him, that's a good thing. Originally, there were only three afternoons a week for training. For a team aiming for the national competition, training three times a week was a little less. The training time was less, and the training content could not be arranged.
As a result, the problem is now solved.
"Now, let's start the formal training! Warm up first!"
The whistle sounded on the football field and reached the campus across the wall. (End of chapter)
