Chapter 182 Because I want to be a professional player

Chapter 182 Because I want to be a professional player

When Dongchuan Middle School resumed training on the football field of the Asian Games Village the next day, they found that many media reporters were surrounding the field with tripods on which were SLR cameras and video cameras.

How have the Dongchuan Middle School players who have not participated in the last national competition seen such a scene? They stood on the court blankly, looking at the reporters.

Dongchuan players who participated in the last national competition had seen similar scenes. At that time, because of Luo Kai's outstanding performance, reporters were attracted to report and interview Luo Kai.

But even the scene back then couldn't be compared to today.

It feels like there are twice as many reporters on the sidelines today as there were in the last competition.

“The effect of ‘Five Sons Admission’ is so terrifying?!”

Everyone thought that these reporters were here for Hu Lai, who scored five goals in the last game, just like they came to interview Luo Kai last year.

But they got it wrong.

Li Ziqiang walked onto the training ground and said to everyone: "They are here to film our training. After the training, they will conduct individual interviews with everyone. Because it is impossible for everyone to be interviewed, I selected a few people, and everyone was called by name. All need to be interviewed.”

"Hey, coach, aren't you interviewing Hu Lai?" Mao Xiao was surprised.

"Of course not, I'm interviewing the whole team." Li Ziqiang said with a straight face.

Someone secretly went to see Hu Lai and found that his face was as normal as usual.

"I'll tell you some names, Hu Lai."

Although this was not an interview with Hu Lai, Li Ziqiang was the first to report Hu Lai's name, which may explain some problems - these reporters are indeed here to interview the whole team, but there must be a key goal, right? The focus of this interview should be Hu Lai.

"Yan Yan, Xia Xiaoyu, Meng Xi. The four of you will stay for interviews alone after the training."

The others looked at the four people whose names were called with envious eyes, but no one was unconvinced.

After all, the level and contribution of these four people are obvious to all, and from the forward to the midfielder to the defender and the goalkeeper, there are representatives on all four lines, which is considered thoughtful.

"Okay, now warm up!"

There is another football field in the Asian Games Village, which is only separated from this football field by a row of woods. There are also cameras and reporters, but it is much shabby in comparison.

This is Sun Yonggang and three photographers taking pictures of the recovery training on the second day after the Shuguang High School game.

The two golf courses are actually quite close to each other, but they are separated by woods, so we can't really see what's going on on the other golf course. But the woods are not soundproof, so you can still hear constant shouting.

Sun Yonggang stood outside the training area. The three photographers were performing their duties and were shooting the materials needed for the documentary step by step. He did not need to instruct him on how to shoot, so now he had time to lower his head and brush his phone.

In the group of media reporters, someone sent a photo of the stadium next door.

It can be seen that it was really a big battle.

There are also people who started live broadcasting pictures and texts in the group.

"...Dongchuan Middle School is conducting simple shooting training. All the training contents are very simple...In fact, there is nothing interesting to watch, and there is no meaning to shoot..."

"Nonsense, how can we conduct tactical training in front of reporters like you?"

"Okay, okay, their serious training is finally over, and now they can shoot what we want to shoot!"

"What do you want to take pictures of?"

"Of course I was filming how they rehearsed their celebrations!"

"Haha! I want to see it too!"

"Sure enough, after negotiating with them, they started rehearsing the celebrations..."

A reporter sent photos of the scene. In the photo, the players of Dongchuan Middle School are rehearsing celebrations on the training ground, and reporters are surrounding them with cameras. Everyone who appears in the photo has a smile on their face.

Sun Yonggang watched the heated discussion in the group.

Whether it is Chongwen Middle School or Shuguang High School, the limelight seems to have been stolen by Dongchuan Middle School.

He remembered that last year, the media also went to interview Dongchuan Middle School, but it was different from this time. That time there was a sense of top-down mission. Everyone went to interview because they wanted to support Luo Kai in the national competition. , have the mentality to get things done.

But this time, the National Competition Organizing Committee did not have any publicity tasks. Instead, the media had a keen sense of smell and smelled a certain smell, so they came swarming to interview, report and promote Dongchuan Middle School.

Hu Lai's five-goal score in the last game and Dongchuan Middle School's eye-catching collective celebration made this team full of topics.

Everyone is tired of watching the feud between Shuguang High School and Chongwen Middle School. This is the third time that the star Chen Xingyi has appeared in the national competition. To be honest, it is inevitable that there is some aesthetic fatigue.

Under such circumstances, Dongchuan Middle School appeared in people's field of vision with a unique style, and naturally quickly became the focus of attention.

They don't have a superstar like Chen Xingyi, nor are they like Chongwen Middle School, a national football powerhouse with sufficient historical heritage.

But the spirit they displayed was completely different from those other teams. After all, who would have thought that a high school team would use all kinds of celebrations during the game?

It gives the impression that they are not here to participate in the national competition, but to enjoy football.

We always talk about "happy football". What is "happy football"? Isn't this what it is?

What could be more representative of high school football than Dongchuan Middle School’s football that always brings happiness to everyone?

Sun Yonggang couldn't find a second team.

And he believed that others would not be able to find a second team. Otherwise, why would they all come swarming to interview and report on Dongchuan Middle School instead of teams from other schools?

Although he is filming a documentary about Shuguang High School, he now feels that Dongchuan Middle School should also have a documentary...

There was laughter coming from the stadium next door, and Sun Yonggang could tell that it was the laughter of reporters.

He looked at the photo on his phone again and suddenly felt that the photo had a sound.

Everyone who sees the group of teenagers from Dongchuan Middle School will probably burst into such happy laughter...

Thinking of the scene when he went to Dongchuan Middle School to interview and film them last year, Sun Yonggang himself couldn't help laughing.

When they were eliminated last year, I wrote a special article to feel sorry for them.

Thinking about it now, how reasonable my original opinion was - if we couldn't see a team like Dongchuan Middle School in this national competition, how much less fun would it be?

Zhou Zijing was carrying a backpack and a large suitcase beside him. He was wandering downstairs of the dormitory of Dongchuan Middle School. Taking advantage of his height, he looked through the window into the room on the first floor.

The room was still empty.

"Let's go, Zhou Zijing." Several teammates like him, who were carrying backpacks and pulling suitcases, called to him in the distance.

But Zhou Zijing seemed not to hear it and still stood stubbornly at the door of the dormitory building of Dongchuan Middle School.

Seeing this, the teammates in the distance had no choice but to shake their heads and sigh, and then continued to pull their suitcases towards the parking lot.

After losing in the quarter-finals, Qingyang Yigao bid farewell to the national competition and the Asian Games Village today and took a bus to the airport to go home.

They didn't know why Zhou Zijing had to go to Dongchuan Middle School, and they didn't want to think about it. Because they were eliminated, everyone was in a low mood and too lazy to care about other people's affairs.

Even if they passed by a lady with an outstanding figure, these teenagers did not take a second look at her.

Instead, the lady glanced at them curiously, and then turned her attention to Zhou Zijing, who stood in the distance like a sculpture.

"Are you Zhou Zijing, a classmate of Qingyang No. 1 High School?" When she walked to the door of the dormitory building, she asked proactively.

"It's me, who are you..." Zhou Zijing looked at her strangely.

The lady smiled and said: "I am the staff responsible for connecting with Dongchuan Middle School. My name is Lin Jin. You can call me Sister Lin. What do you want here?"

"I'm waiting for Hu Lai." Zhou Zijing said.

"Waiting for Hu Lai? They are still training."

"Have you not finished training yet? It's almost noon." Zhou Zijing frowned.

"Well, there were many reporters watching their training today. They should be being interviewed at this time, right?" Lin Jin guessed.

"How long will it take for it to end?" Zhou Zijing asked.

"I don't know about that." Lin Jin spread his hands and smiled.

Then there was an awkward silence between the two.

Zhou Zijing frowned, looking embarrassed, and Lin Jin didn't know what to say.

At this moment, a voice sounded in the distance: "Zhou Zijing! What are you doing?! The whole team is waiting for you!"

Lin Jin and Zhou Zijing looked at the sound at the same time and found that it was Wu Xiaodong, the captain of Qingyang No. 1 High School, who was striding towards here. When he walked up to Zhou Zijing, he said dissatisfiedly: "What? Are you still seeking revenge after losing the game?"

Zhou Zijing quickly shook his head: "No, captain. I just have something to say to Hu Lai."

"What are you talking about? We have to leave now, do you still want to cause trouble?" Wu Xiaodong reached out and pulled his arm, "Let's go! Go back!"

Zhou Zijing did not move: "I really have something to say to Hu Lai, captain. I don't want to cause trouble..."

Seeing the two people fighting, Lin Jin hurriedly said: "How about this? Tell me what you said and I will pass it on to Hu Lai..."

Wu Xiaodong and Zhou Zijing both looked at her at the same time.

"I think it's okay." Then Wu Xiaodong nodded.

Zhou Zijing frowned and hesitated for a moment. Just when the captain was about to become impatient again, he said: "Okay, then...Sister Lin, tell Hu Lai that I, Zhou Zijing, will definitely win in the national competition next year." Whoever defeats him must not lose before he meets me!”

"Student Hu Lai, you and your teammates will face Chongwen Middle School in the semi-finals. This is also the team that eliminated you in the last national competition. What are your expectations for this game?" A reporter asked Asking a decent question and then waiting for a decent answer is enough to complete the interview.

Unexpectedly, Hu Lai said categorically: "Of course I will succeed in revenge, eliminate them, and reach the finals!"

When the reporter who had his head lowered heard what he said, he raised his head and looked at him in surprise.

"Are you so confident?" The doubts in his heart blurted out.

"We've already reached the semi-finals. We can't possibly be here to prepare for the third or fourth place finals, right?" Hu Lai asked rhetorically.

The reporter laughed when he heard this.

Yes, Hu Lai is right, they are all the top four, and it would be too hypocritical to be humble in front of the camera. Which child of this age can really bow his head?

But not all reporters had the same idea as him. Perhaps they thought Hu Lai's attitude was too frivolous, so someone asked: "What if we lose?"

As soon as this statement came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many people, and other reporters all turned their attention to the person who asked the question.

Some people even frowned. This question was really not very friendly...

If it were a more mature interviewee, he would not continue to entangle with the reporter at this time. He would either change the topic or show modesty appropriately, even if it is a bit hypocritical...

But how could Hulay be a mature interviewee? He is not mature among his peers, let alone facing a group of adults...

He shook his head directly: "That's impossible, we must win."

The words caused a commotion among the crowd of reporters.

The reporter who asked the question also looked a little unhappy.

Although he didn't ask the question in a friendly manner, isn't your answer a naked arrogance?

What is "impossible"? What does "must win" mean?

You have the final say on winning or losing?

"Why must we win?" he asked.

Hu Laixin said: How can I explain to you that because the task requires me to defeat Chen Xingyi, I must reach the finals to face him and challenge him? If you are eliminated in the semi-finals, will this mission still be completed? In other words, do I think that Chen Xingyi and Shuguang High School will also lose in the semi-finals, and then he and I will successfully meet in the third or fourth place finals?

Is that true?

But this reporter had no intention of letting him go. Instead, he stared at him, as if he would not give up until he gave a reason.

He suddenly thought of his purpose of participating in the national competition.

The reporter who asked the question had his eyes firmly fixed on Hu Lai's face, with no intention of moving away. It was actually very rude to do so. No one wanted to be stared at with such questioning eyes.

But since the other party wants to argue with him, the reporter certainly doesn't intend to let Hu Lai go easily. At this time, he doesn't care that Hu Lai is actually an underage child. How can he, an adult, be like a child?

"Why..." Seeing that Hu Lai remained silent, he planned to repeat his question.

"Because I want to be a professional player, I must win and give a convincing performance!"

Hu Lai smiled and blocked the reporter's question with two "musts" in his throat.

But he was not ashamed, because all the reporters present were shocked by this answer... (End of Chapter)
