Chapter 56: Heaven will give a great responsibility to... that guy?
Facing the tenacious blocking of Brown North Middle School, Luo Kai failed to complete the hat trick in the end.
After scoring the goal, Hu Lai was no longer in a herding state without a Brown North Middle School player around him, so he only scored that one goal.
At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 4:0. Dongchuan Middle School eliminated Zongbei Middle School and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
Considering the performance of Dongchuan Middle School in the past two competitions, it is very happy to be able to reach the semi-finals now. After all, in the past two competitions, they lost one round in the qualifying round and stopped in the top 32 the other time.
So everyone was very happy when celebrating after the game.
This year they changed to a high-level head coach and also brought in a talented player with extremely high talent. It seems that this year they can really pursue that elusive goal!
When celebrating after the game, vice-captain Yan Yan touched captain Chu Yifan with his arm and winked at him: "Maybe I can really go to the national competition this time!"
Chu Yifan said seriously: "There is also Jiaxiang. According to the lineup, if we can enter the finals, we will meet Jiaxiang."
"Be confident, we have Luo Kai!" Yan Yan patted Chu Yifan on the back.
"Luo Kai is indeed very strong, but look at him, despite the intensive defense of Brown North Middle School, he still failed to complete a hat trick..."
Yan Yan laughed loudly: "What are you thinking, Captain Chu? Most people should be praised for scoring a goal. Luo Kai scored twice and assisted one goal. Even if he didn't complete the hat trick, it doesn't matter at all.
Big deal. Now you actually think that he didn’t complete the hat trick, so his performance was not good enough... If I were Luo Kai, I would have to beg you to be a human being, Captain Chu."
Hearing Yan Yan's words, Chu Yifan also laughed, and he put away his tense expression: "You are right, my request is too unreasonable."
After the game, all the players on the team, still at the request of the head coach, came to the stands to thank the fans who supported them.
Hu Lai stood in the crowd, holding his head high and waving his arms, accepting the cheers with peace of mind.
He saw Li Qingqing and Fatty Song, both of whom were waving vigorously towards him.
So he also waved his arms.
Unlike before where he was just pretending, this time he was really involved.
Mao Xiao came up and bent down to hug Hu Lai and hugged him hard: "Okay, Hu Lai! I didn't expect you to score a goal!"
Meng Xi also said beside him: "You are so lucky!"
Hu Lai rolled his eyes and ignored him.
Mao Xiao refuted his friend: "No, that's not good luck. I think Hu Lai's running without the ball is very good. This goal was scored because he ran into the space correctly."
Meng Xi said: "Then how do you explain that the football hit the goalpost and landed in front of him?"
"That's also because of Hu Lai's ability to run without the ball. People without this ability will naturally not be able to reach the landing point of the football." Mao Xiao said.
Meng Xili was delighted: "So it's not football that found him, but football that he found?"
Mao Xiao nodded and said seriously: "Yes, that's it."
Meng Xi heard this and looked at Hu Lai, who was still waving towards the stands, with a red bracelet tied around his wrist.
He said: "Then he is lucky enough!"

After thanking the classmates who cheered for them in the stands, everyone went back to the locker room to change clothes. This was the end of the game. After changing clothes, they could go back to their homes and find their mothers.
The players, who had not yet lost their excitement, were still chatting about the game that had just ended and looking forward to the future while changing clothes. The atmosphere in the locker room was very relaxed.
But at this moment, the door of the locker room was suddenly pushed open with force.
Everyone turned around and saw the head coach standing at the door with a dark face.
Everyone who was talking and laughing suddenly fell silent when they saw the head coach's expression.
They don't understand. They obviously won by a big score and reached the semi-finals. Why are they not happy at all when they see the head coach's face?
After Li Ziqiang came in, he closed the door of the locker room, looked around at everyone in the locker room, and finally focused on Hu Lai.
Everyone suddenly realized when they saw this - they must be causing trouble for Hu Lai again.
As for why...does the coach still need to ask why for Hu Lai?
Hu Lai felt a little uneasy when he saw the coach's gloomy gaze. He had been happy that he had scored a goal before. Although the goal had an obvious element of luck, it was still a goal after all, right?
Unexpectedly, the head coach seems not to be very satisfied with his performance?
When Zhong Shihao saw this scene, he sneered in his heart - Make you proud!
But to everyone's surprise, after the head coach stared at Hu Lai, he looked away and then looked at the whole team: "You are quite happy to win with four goals and reach the semi-finals. So there are
Can anyone come out and explain to me why no one passed the ball to Hulay during the game?"
When he said this, he pointed at Hu Lai.
After understanding what the head coach said, there was a strange silence in the locker room. No one could have imagined that what the head coach was going to say was this... most of them didn't know how to answer the head coach, but
I haven't recovered from the shock at all.
In the game, there were indeed very few passes to Hu Lai. On the one hand, he looked down upon Hu Lai's ability. On the other hand, he was naturally afraid that Hu Lai would lose possession of the ball after getting the ball. The third reason was that he hoped to help Ronaldo.
Kai completed a hat trick, so as long as he is on offense, he will definitely pass the ball to Luo Kai.
Even after Hu Lai scored, these thoughts did not change. After all, Hu Lai's goal was too lucky. In everyone's opinion, it did not mean that Hu Lai's performance won their trust.
When no one spoke, Li Ziqiang snorted and said in a bad tone: "I know what you are thinking. But I want to remind you that you are a team! As long as Hu Lai plays, he is also a member of this team!"
In the depressing atmosphere, captain Chu Yifan finally stood up and apologized to the head coach with his head lowered: "I'm sorry, coach. It was my fault. As the captain, I did not set an example."
Li Ziqiang still had a straight face and did not look at him, but looked at all the players: "You should reflect and reflect! Don't think that everything will be fine if you win the game. You only rely on Luo Kai's personal ability to win!"
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving a room full of silent players.
Hu Lai was confused during the whole process. He never expected that the head coach, who he usually didn't deal with very much, would actually speak for him. Was it because he scored a goal?
He was not the only one who was confused, there were also other players. After the head coach left, everyone turned their puzzled eyes to Hu Lai.
At this moment, Chu Yifan walked up to Hu Lai and said to him very solemnly: "I'm sorry, Hu Lai. I apologize to you on behalf of the whole team!"
This startled many people, and the expressions on the faces of some people who were represented by the captain even became unnatural.
Hu Lai waved his hand quickly: "Don't worry about Captain Chu, I have nothing to do. Besides, didn't I score a goal? Hehe!"
As he spoke, he put his hands on his waist. If Li Qingqing were present, he would definitely see a tail sticking out from behind Hu Lai's butt, pointing straight up...
It's okay if he doesn't talk about scoring goals. When he mentions that many goals have been scored, the expressions on the people's faces become more colorful.
They watched this scene with mixed emotions, feeling that the reality was so absurd.
Obviously they defeated their opponents 4:0 and advanced to the semi-finals, but the head coach rushed in and scolded them.
The reason for scolding them is because they didn't pass the ball to Hulay during the game.
But Hu Lai is a rookie who has almost no foundation after joining the team and has to start from scratch... And didn't the head coach always target Hu Lai before? What happened today? Is it because Hu Lai scored a goal? But
That ball was obviously a lucky hit and hit it in by mistake!

"I say Captain Chu, even if you want to apologize to that kid, you should apologize in private. If you apologize to him in front of so many people, it won't look good, right? Look at what that kid looked like in the end...
"
After the game was over and leaving school, Yan Yan was walking with Chu Yifan, and he asked about his doubts.
"I apologized to him specifically in front of the whole team, just to show it to the rest of the team. This time it is indeed our problem, and the coach was right." Chu Yifan, who was riding a shared bicycle, told Yan
Yan said. "I also hope that everyone can pay attention to it. No matter how good Hu Lai is, he is a member of the school team after all."
Yan Yan frowned and said, "I just can't figure it out... Why did the coach's attitude towards Hu Lai change 180 degrees? Eh?" He suddenly relaxed his brows, "I have an idea - do you think it's true?
Our head coach has always been very optimistic about Hu Lai, so we deliberately treated him so viciously just to train him. Who has a saying that doesn't say this? "When heaven gives a great responsibility to a person, he must first suffer."
The mind and will strain the muscles and bones, starve the body and skin, and deplete the body...'What else can you do?"
"What he did was messy, so he was tempted to endure it, and it helped him do what he couldn't." Chu Yifan continued. "This is what Mencius said. It means that when God wants to place a heavy responsibility on a person, he must
First, his heart is distressed, his muscles and bones are tired, he is hungry, and he is made to suffer from poverty, so that everything he does does not go smoothly. The purpose is to make his mind tough and increase his abilities that he originally lacked."
"Yes, yes, that's it! That's what I mean!" Yan Yan gave a thumbs up to Team Chu who could recite the entire text and translate it. "Do you think our coach just wants to let Hu Lai
Why is he tortured like this because he has a big responsibility? If Hu Lai can survive it, it means he has the ability..."
Chu Yifan turned to look at Yan Yan and said with a smile: "I think you are overthinking. The coach scolded us just because we forgot the spirit of teamwork. Otherwise, what big responsibility do you think the coach can let Hu Lai take on? Lead our team.
Will the team reach the national competition?”
Yan Yan thought carefully and shook his head: "That's too exaggerated. It depends on Luo Kai. The coach's last sentence today is indeed correct. In fact, we can win now only because of Luo Kai."
."

Luo Kai was sitting on the bus. The lights on the road were starting to turn on. The whole city was gradually entering the dark night. Only some orange remained in the western sky, which was the afterglow of the setting sun.
He stared at the neon street scene outside the bus in trance.
The scene when his shot hit the goalpost was still replaying in his mind.
That crisp sound seemed like it was not hitting the doorpost, but hitting him in the face.
The goal he hit on the goal post actually assisted Hu Lai in the end - according to the rules of the Anton Cup, if the shot hits the goal post and bounces back into the net by a teammate, it is counted as an assist by the player who shot the goal.
He felt God's deep malice towards him.
Hu Lai's goal was actually assisted by himself! I personally won a green cheer for him!
Luo Kai, who was full of worries, had no idea how attractive his melancholy look would be in the eyes of some girls on the bus.
He just looked out the window with deep eyes and sighed quietly.
