"Highlights from today's national competition: You can score goals with your face!"
Song Jiajia browsed the official app of the national competition on her mobile phone. When she entered it, she saw this video pushed to the most prominent position on the homepage.
The cover is a freeze-frame image of a football hitting a person in the face, with comic-like speed lines pointing from all sides.
This player is wearing the yellow and blue Dongchuan Middle School jersey that Song Jiajia is very familiar with.
Although the player's face was completely blocked by the football, Song Jiajia still had a strong hunch... The person who could score in such an unexpected way must be his stupid roommate, right?
Sure enough, after he clicked on the video, he found that it was Hu Lai!
"Ha! It's really this idiot!" Song Jiajia laughed mercilessly at Hu Lai with her cell phone.
The video barrage is also full of joyful atmosphere.
"Hahahahaha!"
"I think if he didn't use his face to block it, Luo Kai's shot might not have been able to go in!"
"Huitang Middle School goalkeeper: mmp!"
"Kid, do you have a lot of questions?"
"???"
"This kid is famous. I bet when you mention him in the future, you will say: 'Oh, is he the player who scored with his face?'"
Song Jiajia was so amused by these barrages that her whole body was shaking with laughter.
Then he saw the "Guess You Like" related recommendations below this video. The cover of the first-ranked video was also Hu Lai, who seemed to be being interviewed.
"Damn, this guy I haven't seen for a few days, but he still looks decent when being interviewed..."
While complaining, Song Jiajia clicked on the video with her fat finger.
In the picture, Hu Lai is standing in front of the sponsor's brand background board for the national competition, his face is covered with sweat, and his hair is wet with sweat, sticking crookedly to his forehead.
Opposite him, a reporter was holding a microphone and said: "Classmate Hu Lai, first of all, congratulations to your team for advancing to the quarterfinals... Before the game, many people felt that it was the first time for Dongchuan Middle School to participate in the national competition.
I’m afraid it will be difficult for the fourth place last year to move forward..."
※※※
"Is it incredible to beat the fourth place in the previous year? I have never thought about this problem at all... After all, we eliminated the third place in the province from the national competition... which is Jiaxiang High School
Ah, weren’t they third place in the last national competition? I beat them all. So you see, it’s not that big of a deal to win fourth place in the last national competition, right?”
The video of Hu Lai being interviewed after the game is playing on the phone. In the picture, Hu Lai spreads his hands with a matter-of-fact look on his face, making it impossible to see any trace of artificiality in his performance.
So there is no way to defend what he said by saying "he just made a joke".
Yes, he just expressed his truest thoughts.
As for what people who heard his words think...that's none of his business.
On the video screen, dense barrages floated across the screen from right to left.
"Who do you think you are?! That's what you say about our Huitang Middle School!"
"If you have the ability, come to Meiling. I guarantee you won't be able to leave the house!"
"Damn, it's the first time I've ever seen someone so arrogant after winning a game!"
"roll!!"
"Pooh!!"
"If you are a wolf from Zhongshan Mountain, you will run rampant when you succeed!"
All kinds of angry criticism almost filled the small screen of the mobile phone.
"Pfft! This guy is famous!"
On the bus back to the Olympic Village from the competition venue, some Shuguang High School players laughed out loud while holding their mobile phones.
"Yesterday, the official was still promoting Luo Kai in various ways. Unexpectedly, in just one day, the spotlight of 'The Strongest Newcomer' was completely stolen by this kid!"
As soon as this matter was mentioned, the players from Shuguang High School became particularly excited, and someone immediately echoed: "That's right, that's right, it's like he stole Luo Kai's goal in the game... Hahaha! Originally Luo Kai
Kai might have been able to make a splash in the world, but he ended up having his face amputated... Ha!"
Originally, the national competition was trying so hard to promote Luo Kai, which made the players at Shuguang High School feel a little unhappy. After all, in their minds, Chen Xingyi was the strongest high school player. As the best player and top scorer last season, your national competition
But what does it mean to desperately promote a rookie player who is participating in a national competition for the first time?
The war between fans on both sides of the Internet was a big deal before, but now the official's behavior is regarded as a direct consequence of the official action, and Luo Kai is strongly encouraged to come out to confront Chen Xingyi.
Why?
Isn't it because Chen Xingyi doesn't cooperate with official publicity very well?
Shuguang High School players are all fighting for Chen Xingyi.
In line with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, they were particularly happy that Luo Kai's winning goal was snatched away by Hu Lai.
"Hey, Chen Xingyi, looking at their momentum, maybe they can really reach the finals..."
Chen Xingyi was also staring at the particularly sincere face on the phone screen. After hearing his teammates' words, he waved his hand: "You are overthinking. Their opponent in the next round is Shanhai's Chongwen Middle School."
As soon as they heard the name "Chongwen Middle School", everyone became quiet.
Although in the last competition, the defending champion was eliminated in the first round and became the laughing stock of many people.
But the people at Shuguang High School are very aware of Chongwen Middle School’s ability. After all, they were the ones who eliminated Chongwen Middle School in the last national competition...
As the most famous football specialty school in Shanhai City, before the national high school football championship, they were a nationally renowned traditional football school.
In the 1990s, when China's professional football was just emerging, many professional football clubs did not yet have a formal and complete echelon system. Chongwen Middle School even served as the talent transfer base for Shanhai's only professional football club, Blue Moon, every year.
People from the Yue Football Club come to Shanhai to select outstanding young players and select them into the Shanhai youth team or reserve team.
Until now, the football team of Shanhai Chongwen Middle School is still very strong.
In fact, although they were eliminated in the first round last year, there was a certain amount of luck involved.
The fact that Shuguang High School was able to defeat Chongwen Middle School had something to do with Chongwen himself underestimating the enemy at that time. After all, Shuguang High School had never participated in a national competition before, and last year was their first time participating.
It is somewhat similar to this year's Dongchuan Middle School.
As the defending champion, Chongwen Middle School thought to itself, if we encounter such a novice team, can't we win by playing casually?
But there is a monster named "Chen Xingyi" in this novice team.
He scored twice in that game, and it can be said that he single-handedly defeated Chongwen Middle School.
If Chongwen Middle School corrects its attitude and takes this game seriously, Shuguang High School may not be able to win.
After the humiliating exit in the first round of the last competition, it is said that Chongwen Middle School has learned from the experience and decided that their strength will be more balanced in this competition. No one position is the most outstanding, but they are all among the top.
This can be seen from their two rounds of competition.
The winning scores in both games were not big, but the performance was very stable.
In tournament-based competitions, such teams are often the scariest. Those who win a big victory in the first game are likely to go high and low, and will be eliminated without even being able to touch the edge of the semi-finals.
. Playing several games in a short period of time, stable performance is more important than anything else. This means that their team is very strong, rather than relying on one person or a few people.
After the first round of competition, there was a saying that this year's championship competition is likely to start between Shuguang High School and Chongwen Middle School.
Chongwen Middle School must be holding back its energy to seek revenge from Shuguang High School, and if Shuguang Middle School can withstand the revenge of Chongwen Middle School, then they will become the first team to successfully defend the title in the history of the national competition.
Therefore, these two teams will definitely not give in to each other. When the time comes, it will definitely be a duel between Mars and Earth.
Dongchuan Middle School’s opponent in the next round is Chongwen Middle School, which is indeed a disaster...
This kind of misfortune is not even the difficulty level of their match against Huitang Middle School.
※※※
On the bus back, the players in the carriage were so happy that they even asked Sister Lin for a microphone to sing karaoke.
This time Li Ziqiang did not stop them, nor did he stand up and ask them what they thought of the next game.
He was fascinated by the latest results on the screen of his mobile phone.
Chongwen Middle School 3:0 Haihe No. 3 Middle School.
The next round will be against Dongchuan Middle School.
His eyes stayed on the four words "Chongwen Middle School" for a long time.
