Chapter 350 Queuing up for shoe shine
Assistant coach Chen Mo came to the head coach's room for a visit. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhao Kangming, who was frowning in thought.
"What are you doing? Are you in any trouble?" he asked with concern.
"No, I've always felt strange... Lao Chen, didn't you notice?"
"What did you find?"
"The team's morale doesn't seem to be very high... The players who came to the away game this time were all lackluster and not excited enough. I even think... they don't want to come to the away game." Zhao Kangming explained his confusion just now. come out.
"Isn't that true? What you said is like a negative competition." Chen Mo waved his hands, and then recalled it carefully, "I am a little depressed, but it is not as serious as you said. And if you really care about this matter, Can’t we find out by calling Qin Lin and Li Tielin?”
Zhao Kangming nodded: "What a good idea. Then, Old Chen, can you help me ask them to come to my room?"
Chen Mo took out his mobile phone and called the two of them one by one.
Soon Qin Lin and Li Tielin came to Zhao Kangming's room one after another. After listening to Zhao Kangming's question, the two did not answer, but looked at each other for the first time.
Zhao Kangming's first reaction when he saw the two of them was that there must be a ghost.
"It seems you know what happened?" He asked in a deep voice, his tone not very good.
The entire team was in trouble under his nose, but he, the head coach, had been kept in the dark. This made him feel like he couldn't lift the 40-meter sword?
When Li Tielin heard what the head coach said, he waved his hand quickly: "No, no, no, no, Director Zhao. There is a reason, but it may not be the same as you think..."
"What do I think?" Zhao Kangming looked directly at the team captain Li Tielin coldly. Even if a head coach is gentle at ordinary times, he is also the general manager of a team and has natural authority over the players.
At this time, Qin Lin stepped forward to help his teammates. After all, he and Zhao Kangming had a "teammate" relationship. The relationship was extraordinary, and some words were easier to say. He explained: "The thing is like this, Zhao Kangming Guidance. Didn’t we draw that amateur team in the Football Association Cup draw before? But before the draw, we all made a bet with Hu Lai..."
Then he told the two coaches present the whole story.
After listening, Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo looked at each other.
"It's that kid again!" Chen Mo said.
Zhao Kangming shook his head and then asked Qin Lin: "So you all plan to wait in line for Hu Lai to shine his shoes when the time comes?"
"Yeah, with so many people, we can't default on the debt, right?" Qin Lin was also speechless. Who would have thought that such a low-probability thing would happen to Hu Lai?
Everyone doubted whether Hu Lai's broken mouth was opened.
"Okay, it's okay. You two go back and have a rest early..." Zhao Kangming waved.
Qin Lin and Li Tielin said goodbye to the two coaches and walked out of the room. As soon as they closed the door, they heard a burst of laughter from the room behind them.
The two looked at each other and saw helplessness and depression in each other's eyes.
"If I had known, I would have stopped their nonsense." Li Tielin sighed.
"Who knows this?" Qin Lin shook his head, "Let's go back and rest. Don't get a bad rest then. If you lose on the field tomorrow, you will be in big trouble."
Li Tielin also knew the seriousness of the problem: "Well, now the coaches all know about this. If we lose, then Director Zhao will wonder if we lost on purpose to not shine Hu Lai's shoes..."< br>
"Yes, yes, not only must he win, he must also score goals. He must score goals. I have to force the cake down his throat."
※※※
Hu Lai just got a chance in the penalty area, but when he started to shoot, the football was poked out of the baseline by the opponent's defender. They would rather give Flash Star a corner kick than let Hu Lai in their penalty area. Taking a shot, the Tongqi Eagles were really tight in defense against Hu Lai.
On the sidelines of the Shining Star bench, Chen Xingyi yelled regretfully and slapped his thigh hard.
Not only him, but the other Flash Star substitutes on the bench looked very annoyed.
Just watching this scene will definitely make people feel that the atmosphere in the Flash Star team is really good. The players who can't play are also so sincerely cheering for the players on the field. They don't act like "it's none of their business" just because they don't play. "hang high" attitude.
Although the atmosphere within the Flash Star team is indeed very good, the excitement of these substitute players obviously has nothing to do with outside speculation.
They are just because if Hu Lai scores a goal at this time, then they can collectively escape the disaster of shining Hu Lai's shoes...
Especially Chen Xingyi. He originally scored a goal in the away game against Hercynian Elite in the FA Cup and performed well. On the way back, he was still dreaming about whether he could rely on such a performance to get through the flag in the next game. The Eagles game earned him a starting spot.
If the head coach considers that he played in an away FA Cup game and wants him to rest on the bench, then he should follow Hu Lai's example and go to Zhao to coach him, take the initiative to ask for a fight, and tell him that he is young and has good physical strength, and there is no problem at all in fighting continuously. .
But when Director Zhao really didn't put him in the starting lineup before the game, he breathed a sigh of relief-this meant that he didn't have to shine Hu Lai's shoes on the court.
He thought to himself that Hu Lai couldn't wait until he came on as a substitute and still hadn't scored, right?
As a result, Hu Lai really didn't score in the first half, and the Tongqi Eagles' defense caused him a lot of trouble.
During the previous halftime break, Chen Xingyi asked Hu Lai: "Didn't you say you could score a goal with or without me? Then you scored one!"
As a result, Hu Lai said to him in a very disgusting manner: "Little Xingxing, I need you!"
Chen Xingyi turned around and complained to Zhang Qinghuan: "Brother Huan, Hu Lai doesn't want you anymore! This heartless and heartless man!"
Zhang Qinghuan waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't blame him, I wish you happiness."
Wang Guangwei couldn't stand it anymore: "What kind of Qiong Yao drama are you doing here!"
Hu Lai corrected him: "The line is wrong, Lao Wang."
"What line is wrong? Where is it wrong?" Wang Guangwei was confused.
Hu Lai said seriously: "You should say: 'Obviously it was me first'..."
There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.
Although Hu Lai did not score a goal, his movement attracted defensive forces and created scoring opportunities for others. Therefore, in the first half, Flash Star still used Zhang Qinghuan's long shot to score a goal, temporarily leading the home team by one goal. Eagle.
Now the game has entered the second half, the score is still 1:0, and the away team is leading.
At this time, whether Hu Lai can score has become the most important thing for everyone.
Just now, Hu Lai almost got a chance to kick in the penalty area, but was saved by the opponent's defender first. The substitute players of Shining Star sighed and their happiness was in vain.
※※※
Zhang Qinghuan caught a glimpse of a gap in the corner of his eye, just in the distance, right behind the Tongqi Eagle defense line.
And he believed that Hu Lai must have seen that gap and would run in that direction.
Therefore, as a midfielder, he should pass the football and give Hulay a chance to shoot in the penalty area.
But if Hu Lai scores a goal, I have to shine his shoes...
But can he not pass the ball to Hu Lai for this reason?
Of course not.
It’s just fun among teammates, but it can’t delay the team’s game...
So whenever he gets a chance, he has to pass the football.
This is his professional responsibility and his professional ethics.
But Zhang Qinghuan was a little unwilling to let him watch him deliver such a good opportunity to Hu Lai.
So he turned his head and looked at the area to his side, as if he was looking for an opening to pass the ball here, but instead kicked the football into the far space.
Can't bear to look at it, can't bear to look at it...
"Zhang Qinghuan passed the ball... Wow! NoLookPass!" Shen Lang, the commentator of Tengfei Video, keenly noticed Zhang Qinghuan's small movements when passing the ball, and he exclaimed. "Beautiful!! Pass the ball into the space, Hu Lai! He caught the ball! He made a slight adjustment and shot -"
In the midst of his roar, Hulay this time shot the football towards the goal before the opponent's defender could rush to block it.
The football flew close to the turf towards the near corner. The goalkeeper turned over and rushed back, but failed to touch the football. He could only watch the football rush into his own net!
"The goal is scored!! Hu Lai!! Zhang Qinghuan's pass is so beautiful! This is the strength of 'Francis of China'!"
Although Shen Lang boasted about Zhang Qinghuan's pass, Zhang Qinghuan on the field was not happy at all after seeing Hu Lai's goal. In order to prevent the TV cameras from catching the strange thing, he could only force a smile, but he But there was no Hu Lai who ran towards the goal immediately.
However, Hu Lai turned around after scoring the goal and ran back towards the corner flag area while hooking his hands to his teammates: "Come on! Be happy!!"
Chen Xingyi and his teammates on the bench jumped up, hugged each other first, and then raised their arms and shouted: "Hu Lai is awesome!!"
After high-fiving and celebrating on the coaching bench, Chen Mo and Zhao Kangming stood on the sidelines together, casting expectant glances at the court.
They would like to see how the entire team's starting lineup polishes Hu Lai's shoes alone.
"Isn't it? I want to go too?" Goalkeeper Yu Zhiming pointed at himself and asked captain Li Tielin.
Central defender Li Tielin grabbed Wang Guangwei and said to Yu Zhiming: "Go, all go. Didn't you also cheer for it at the beginning? All go!"
Yu Zhiming sighed. He was just joining in the fun, but who would believe it now?
So he had no choice but to run towards Hu Lai with other teammates.
The only thing he could comfort himself with was that he didn't have to be the first.
The first one was foreign aid Murphy. The foreigner was so sincere. He simply knelt down on one knee, picked up Hu Lai’s right foot, placed it on his thigh, and started to shine the shoes...
※※※
"Wow! Shoeshine celebration! Murphy shines Hu Lai's shoes! Such a celebration is incredible!" Shen Lang exclaimed, and then educated the audience on the symbolic meaning of this celebration. "This often means that the goal-scoring player has a very high status and very good popularity among his teammates! Otherwise, how could ordinary people be willing to kneel down and shine others' shoes?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Qinghuan running up, kneeling on one knee, holding Hu Lai's right foot, and shining his shoe...
"Ha! Zhang Qinghuan is here too! It's amazing, Hu Lai can actually let two teammates shine his shoes!"
Before Shen Lang finished speaking, he saw Qin Lin, the third Flash Star player, also kneeling on one knee and shining Hu Lai's shoes...
Not only that, behind Qin Lin, more Flash Star players came and lined up, kneeling down one by one to shine Hu Lai's shoes!
Shen Lang was dumbfounded.
"This is..."
Forget about him, the commentators from Anton TV and Tongqi TV, as well as the fans and viewers watching the live broadcast in front of TVs, computers, and mobile phones, as well as the fans, home team players, and coaches in the stands were all dumbfounded. ——What is going on?
The entire Shining Star team came to polish Hu Lai's shoes?
Is this battle too big? Is this status too high?
One or two players come to shine his shoes, and they can still say that he is popular and has a high status. But now that the whole team is here, can this be explained by just good popularity and high status? Is there another deeper meaning?
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Hu Lai landed on one foot, raised his right foot, put his hands on his hips, raised his head and laughed!
As happy as a child. (End of chapter)
