Just as Chu Yifan’s roommate Lao Li said, the last four semi-finals were completely stunned by Dongchuan Middle School.
With ten minutes left before the end of the game, we were three goals behind.
This gap is enough to make many players lose their fighting spirit.
No matter how young you are, there is a so-called "youthful energy", but there is also a saying that you have an unstable mind. Young people are more likely to panic in the face of decline, and naturally they are more likely to collapse.
After the game restarted, there was nothing much to say about the remaining ten minutes of the game. Maybe some people in the Renmin Middle School team still had some courage and wanted to rise up to restore the decline.
But in the face of the overwhelming trend, their individual efforts are insignificant.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, all the substitute players from Dongchuan Middle School rushed out from the bench of Dongchuan Middle School. They jumped over their coaches, jumped up, swung their arms, and ran with cheers.
Celebrate the victory with your teammates.
Facing the fourth place in the previous year, they did not miss the first round of the national competition, but went one step further!
With them as the background, Li Ziqiang turned and walked towards Sun Yiming, the head coach of Renmin Middle School.
This head coach, who has been working hard in high school football for many years, never expected that just when he thought he would make a step forward in the national competition with his more mature "Four Knights of the White Night", he would be defeated by Dong in the first round.
Sichuan Middle School was killed by a horse...
When Li Ziqiang reached out to him, he seemed a little lost. After grabbing Li Ziqiang's hand, he did not congratulate him in a routine manner, but asked in an urgent tone: "Why? Your core Xia Xiaoyu has been locked up by us.
——He didn’t perform very well in this game at all…”
This is indeed a problem that Sun Yiming cannot figure out. In his opinion, although Hu Lai scored two goals, there is no doubt that the core of this team is Xia Xiaoyu. And his arrangement in the midfield is indeed so that
Xia Xiaoyu doesn't have much room to perform - Xia Xiaoyu didn't have a single assist in this game. Most of the time, he can only be an engineer like Chen Rui in the midfield to deal with the "Four Knights of the White Night" from Renmin Middle School.
That's why Sun Yiming couldn't understand why Dongchuan Middle School was still able to defeat them and win with three goals.
When Li Ziqiang saw Sun Yiming like this, he guessed what he was thinking, so he said seriously: "Coach Sun, to be honest, the core of our team is really not Xia Xiaoyu..."
Sun Yiming was a little surprised and shocked after hearing Li Ziqiang's words, and asked: "Is it really Hu Lai?"
Li Ziqiang nodded: "It is indeed him. He is our top scorer and the core of our team's offense."
"But he just..." Sun Yiming was still in disbelief.
Li Ziqiang said: "I know what Coach Sun is going to say. Is he just an opportunist?"
Sun Yiming said nothing and just looked at Li Ziqiang.
"Who said opportunists can't be the core? If it was like this before, it's just that the ability of those opportunists to seize opportunities is not strong enough." Li Ziqiang managed to squeeze out a smile on his serious face, and then said to Sun Yi again
Ming said: "Sorry, Coach Sun, I have to go back to the team."
After saying that, without waiting for any response from Sun Yiming, he turned around and walked straight towards the players who were already frolicking together.
"Stop making trouble! I don't know what to do?!" But when he walked up, he didn't want to celebrate the victory with his teammates, but shouted to them loudly.
The Dongchuan Middle School players, who were overly excited, then remembered that after the game, players from both sides were required to line up and shake hands with each other in accordance with regulations to show respect for their opponents.
After all, over there, the players from Renmin Middle School had already lined up under the control of their captain Song Yu and were waiting for them.
This makes Yan Yan, the captain of Dongchuan Middle School, a little embarrassed. Compared with others, his captain is really... unreliable.
So he also shouted loudly, calling his teammates to come over and complete the last procedure after the game.
Looking at the Dongchuan Middle School players who were so excited and even carried away with themselves, Wang Xun, standing next to Song Yu, gritted his teeth and said, "We actually lost to such a group of people..."
Song Yu turned around and glared at his teammates: "Doesn't that mean we are better?"
How could Wang Xun not understand what the captain meant when he heard this? He closed his mouth and looked straight at the other party.
Song Yu knew that he had lost the game and therefore his entire high school football career. Wang Xun must have been unwilling to do so, but there was no other way. Who told them to lose?
If you lose, you lose. There may be various reasons, but the result will not change.
It can be said that Renmin Middle School made a mistake from the beginning and did not defend Hu Lai tightly enough.
It can also be said that they lack a center who is as good at scoring as Hu Lai.
But what's the use of saying this now?
He, Wang Xun, Zhang Xi, Yan Zheng and other senior high school players will retire after today. The question of why they lost this game should be left to their head coach and let him worry...
Is there anything Song Yu is unwilling to do?
Of course there must be, but now he has no intention to care about it at all.
Behind him, some teammates were already crying. He wanted to turn around and remind them not to cry in front of their opponents, as that would be embarrassing.
But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them out.
What's wrong with crying after losing the game?
The opposing players have already walked over under the leadership of their captain.
As the captain, he took the initiative to extend his hand.
As the captain of the last four semi-finals, he still has to maintain the basic dignity of the team, even though he actually wants to cry...
※※※
Xia Xiaoyu and his teammates had just finished shaking hands with the players of Haihe No. 3 Middle School and walked straight to the locker room.
He turned a deaf ear to the voices of the fans calling his name in the stands and did not wave. After what happened at the airport, his attitude towards the fans changed. In the past, he felt that he could not control the fans' affairs, so
Just stay neutral.
But now he plans to actively alienate those overly enthusiastic fans...
Behind him, Sun Yonggang and the photographer quickly followed, with the camera always following his back.
Amidst the loud shouts, Chen Xingyi in the camera quickly ran into the players' tunnel without even raising his head, then hurried all the way to the door of the locker room and pushed in.
It looks like a disappointed performance after losing the game...
As soon as Chen Xingyi returned to the locker room, he took out his mobile phone in his bag and wanted to check the situation of another game.
Dongchuan Middle School 3:0 Renmin Middle School, goal scorers: Hu Lai (29,54) and Shen Yulin (67).
Seeing this result, Chen Xingyi was stunned for a moment.
Not a hat trick?

"Hu Lai! Hu Lai!"
When Hu Lai came out of the stadium and went to the parking lot to board the bus, he was stopped by Yan Yan.
Only then did he realize that many people had gathered under the bus, but no one got on the bus.
Everyone gathered around team leader Yan Yan.
And Yan Yan was pulling someone to wave to him.
He only glanced at it and then rushed forward in surprise: "Captain Chu? Why are you here?"
Then he immediately responded: "Are you studying at Lingnan Institute of Technology?"
Chu Yifan looked at Hu Lai and shook his head with a happy smile: "No, I'm at Nanshan University next door. Ever since you entered the national competition, I've been waiting for this day so that I can see you in person. Before I never said it, I just wanted to give you a surprise. I didn’t expect you to give me a surprise, you actually beat the fourth in the first round 3:0, ha! Your performance is really good!"
Facing Team Chu, Hu Lai waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay, after all, we were only fourth in the last term. Team Chu, you know, we are best at playing fourth in the last term..."
Chu Yifan burst out laughing when he heard this, but the three roommates standing next to him looked at each other and felt that this kid was too arrogant.
After laughing, Chu Yifan introduced the roommates behind him to his former teammates one by one, and also teased his roommates: "How about, don't you take the opportunity to ask for an autograph or something? It will be difficult to ask for it later... "
How could the roommates go to Hu Lai to ask for an autograph, but they couldn't refuse directly, so they had to say: "Who brings pen and paper when they go out..."
Chu Yifan just wanted to make fun of his roommate, so he didn't plan to continue talking about his signature.
Unexpectedly, Hu Lai suddenly said: "I brought it."
"Ah?" A group of people were stunned and did not come back to their senses.
"I said I brought pen and paper." Hu Lai repeated, looking at everyone with a happy face.
Even Chu Yifan's face looked a little strange now...
※※※
Watching the bus driving Dongchuan Middle School slowly out of the parking lot, Chu Yifan looked back at his roommates. Each of them was holding a piece of paper with crooked ghost symbols on it. He couldn't identify it as "Hu Lai" at all. Two words.
Seeing this, Chu Yifan was also a little embarrassed: "If you don't want it, just give it to me. I..."
But before he finished speaking, he saw his roommates folding the paper and putting it away: "Don't worry, Dachu, we won't just throw it away without changing hands. It's just that this Hu Lai is really interesting..."
"Yeah, how can anyone come out to a competition with a pen and paper and only focus on waiting to sign autographs for others?"
Everyone looked at the ghost-drawing talismans in their hands and sighed with emotion.
※※※
"Hey, Hu Lai, what do you think? You came out to compete with pen and paper in your bag..." Mao Xiao asked Hu Lai next to him.
"Of course I have to do my best to satisfy the fans' requests. If they want autographs, I have to prepare pen and paper in advance. There must not be a fan of mine who can't fulfill their wish for my autograph because they don't bring pen and paper!" Hu Lai
The answer was so confident that Mao Xiao was speechless.
In other words, facing such shameless and shameless Hu Lai, the honest man Mao Xiao really has nothing to say...
