Wang Yuan sent her children to school and drove home. She was surprised to find that her husband Qin Lin was already dressed and waiting for her in the living room.
"Why are you looking like you're going out?" Wang Yuan joked.
"I'm going out." Qin Lin said, "Honey, please drive me to the training base."
Wang Yuan was a little surprised: "What are you doing at the training base? Do you still want to train with your feet like this?"
She glanced at Qin Lin's right foot, which was wrapped in plaster.
Qin Lin shook his head: "I'm not going to train."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to see them and cheer them up. The team's morale has been a bit low recently, and I'm afraid they will collapse," Qin Lin said.
Wang Yuan complained: "You are not the captain..."
She didn't want her husband to go out because she was worried that he might bump his injured foot and not recover well. Didn't the doctor tell him that he needed to rest? Can running around like this be considered a rest?
"If I'm not the captain, I can still do something for the team. Besides, if I cause trouble for the team, I always go to help..."
Wang Yuan interrupted him: "What does it mean that you caused trouble for the team? Does being injured mean that you are causing trouble? Then did you do them a favor by playing in the game?"
Qin Lin smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing. But I still want to go to the team. If you don't help me drive, I will have to take a taxi myself."
Wang Yuan knew how stubborn her husband was, and no one could change the things he decided, not even herself.
So I had to sigh: "Okay, I'll drive. I'll help you out first..."
"No, I can do it by myself. I'm a master of crutches now." Qin Lin pointed to the two crutches leaning next to the sofa.
"What's there to show off..." The wife rolled her eyes at her husband, grabbed the car keys on the cabinet, turned around and walked out the door.

After Wang Guangwei saw Hu Lai entering the south gate of the training base, he had no intention of going inside. He asked strangely: "What's wrong?"
"Old Wang, go to the locker room first, I'll wait for someone." Hu Lai waved to him.
"Who else can you wait for besides me?" Wang Guangwei was even more surprised.
"Hey, don't be too confident!" Hu Lai said, "I'm waiting for Zhang Qinghuan."
Wang Guangwei looked like he had seen a ghost: "No, Hu Lai, are you serious?!"
"Don't abandon, don't give up. Do you think I'm joking?" Hu Lai asked him.
"Is it because I didn't explain it clearly to you yesterday, Hu Lai? Do you think you can change his mind just by talking to him? Someone has done this for a long time, including the club manager Dong, Director Yang... none of them are alone with Zhang Qinghuan
Have you talked about it? Is it useful? It may be of some use after just talking, but it won't be long before he collapses again. Even if you are more sharp-tongued, it will be useless. If you can change a person by saying a few words, the world will have already changed.
Peace." Wang Guangwei became anxious when he saw that Hu Lai was serious.
"I have to give it a try. Maybe my charming personality will impress that kid?"
"Successful? I think it might be easier for you to break that kid..."
"No, Lao Wang, what are you thinking about all day long? Go back to the locker room quickly and don't disturb me here to exude your domineering spirit!"
"I won't go, I want to see how you hit the wall."
"Go, go, go. There is an outsider here. Maybe that kid won't be able to save face, but it will be self-defeating."
Hu Lai's words made Wang Guangwei wary - if he were here and Hu Lai failed, the blame might be placed on himself.
So he shook his head, turned around and walked towards the first team locker room.
As for Hu Lai, he waited at the south gate for a while, and sure enough, Zhang Qinghuan arrived.
He was surrounded by several female fans outside the base. After satisfying their request for autographs and photos, he entered the base.
As soon as he came in, he saw Hu Lai standing on his path, looking at him with a smile but not a smile.
He tried to avoid the other party from a distance, but he soon discovered that no matter how he went around, the other party would move in front of him.
Finally he gave up and asked Hu Lai from a distance: "What do you want to do?"
"Ahem, I planted this tree and opened this road. If you want to go this way... let's talk?" Hu Lai said.
"Damn, he's crazy!" Zhang Qinghuan felt that this kid really lived up to his name.
"Well, I have some chicken soup here... No, I really want to talk to you." Hu Lai said to Zhang Qinghuan sincerely. As he spoke, he slowly approached Zhang Qinghuan.
"You see you have unparalleled talent, but in the end you can't even make the roster for the competition. My friend, don't you want to change this situation? You..."
At first, Zhang Qinghuan was a little curious about what the other person wanted to say to him because he was holding her here. Could it be that he wanted to apologize to himself for betraying him in the first place?
So he waited patiently.
Unexpectedly, Hu Lai opened his mouth to say this.
He couldn't bear it anymore: "You are really out of your mind!"
After saying that, he ignored it and forced his way through.
But similarly, if he goes to the left, Hu Lai will follow him; if he goes to the right, Hu Lai will follow suit.
At the same time, this kid couldn't stop talking: "...I think you must be clear about what the outside world says about you. Are you really willing to continue like this? If you can't even play in the Chinese League One team, then you
I feel like I can still..."
Seeing that the distance between the two people is getting closer and closer, the speed of moving back and forth is getting faster and faster.
Zhang Qinghuan lowered his left shoulder and made a gesture of breaking through from Hu Lai's right side. When Hu Lai shifted his center to the right, he suddenly changed direction and accelerated to break through from Hu Lai's left side!
Hu Lai was deceived by Zhang Qinghuan's fake move and was defenseless. He could only watch as Zhang Qinghuan broke through him and walked away.
He turned around and looked back at Zhang Qinghuan's back, and opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
※※※
Wang Guangwei first watched Zhang Qinghuan enter the locker room. He stared at Zhang Qinghuan carefully, trying to discern any clues.
But of course nothing was seen.
After waiting for a while, Hu Lai also came in, so he grabbed Hu Lai to his side, lowered his voice and asked: "How is it?"
"I was so frightened by my righteousness that I ran away." Hu Lai said.
"I just said you would be asking for trouble..."
"Old Wang, I now feel that it would have been better if you had been there at that time." Hu Lai said to Wang Guangwei.
Wang Guangwei had a question mark on his face.
"At that time, he tried to break through from my right. After I saw through his intention, he suddenly changed direction and accelerated unexpectedly, and then got away from my left. You know I am a forward and not good at defense. If you are
If so, you can help me keep him..." Hu Lai sighed.
Wang Guangwei asked more questions: "What on earth are you two doing?"

When all the players appeared on the training ground one after another, everyone looked at Qin Lin in surprise, who was already standing on the training ground, chatting with head coach Zhao Kangming and assistant coach Chen Mo.
He was still using crutches and was obviously not here for training.
After the players all gathered, Zhao Kangming revealed the mystery to everyone: "Qin Lin is here to cheer everyone up."
"I'm sorry that I couldn't fight side by side with you when the team needed it most." Qin Lin stood in front of all his teammates and spoke to everyone while leaning on crutches.
His wife stood far outside the training ground, looking at her husband.
He has only been here for more than two months, but he acts like a big brother who has been in this team for many years...
Really, you can't change this style no matter where you go.
"... Actually, everyone calm down and think about it carefully. The situation is not as bad as we thought. We are now eight points away from the relegation zone. Many times we scare ourselves... As long as we calm down and perform normally, we will definitely not
Downgraded..." At this point, he turned his attention to Hu Lai, and then moved from Hu Lai's face to Zhang Qinghuan on the other side.
"Actually, I am not qualified to say these things to you, but I still hope that everyone can unite and fight hard in the next six rounds of the league. I also look forward to fighting with everyone next season after I recover from injury."
Qin Lin's words were not long, and he retreated after finishing speaking.
"Okay, let's start the warm-up now!" Assistant coach Chen Mo shouted and stepped forward to lead the players to warm-up.
Head coach Zhao Kangming accompanied Qin Lin as he walked slowly outside the training ground.
"You just said that you will still be in the team next season... I remember that your contract has a clause that allows you to return to free agency after relegation, right?" Zhao Kangming asked as he walked. "Why do you really plan to accompany the team?
Playing in the second division league?”
Qin Lin smiled and said: "Of course not, I just don't think we will be demoted. Old Zhao, have you found someone to replace me?"
"I want to give Zhang Qinghuan a try," Zhao Kangming said. "Give him one last chance. If it doesn't work, forget it. There won't be much time left for him and me."
After hearing this, Qin Lin just nodded and said nothing more.
At this time, he had already walked outside the training ground. His wife Wang Yuan came up to him and nodded to Zhao Kangming as a greeting. Qin Lin and Zhao Kangming had known each other for a long time. They were both in Lingnan City before, so naturally they had known each other for many years, so there was no need for them.
So polite.
Zhao Kangming also nodded in greeting, and then said to the two of them: "I'm going to train, you should go back quickly, rest, rest."
He emphasized to Qin Lin.
Qin Lin suddenly came to him, startling him, for fear that Qin Lin's injury would not recover well...
"Don't worry, I won't come again. There's no point in coming here all the time." Qin Lin laughed.
Zhao Kangming turned around and returned to the training ground.
With the help of crutches, Qin Lin turned to face the training ground and turned his attention to the group of teammates who were training.
Wang Yuan waited quietly for a while, then asked softly: "Let's go?"
"Okay, let's go." Qin Lin turned around again and left the training ground accompanied by his wife.
Behind him was the crisp whistle and the rustle of sneakers on the turf.
