Chapter 75 What kind of person is he? (Please vote for recommendations in the new week)
When the referee blew the full-time whistle in the fourth minute of stoppage time, a Jiaxiang High School player collapsed to the ground.
The players from Dongchuan Middle School could not contain their excitement and rushed onto the court when the whistle sounded, rushing towards their teammates.
They defeated the overlord Jiaxiang High School 2:1 in the Anton Cup final, and they won the right to participate in the national competition for the first time!
There was not much cheering at the scene, because after all, this is half of the home court of Jiaxiang High School. Apart from Jiaxiang High School’s own cheerleading team, most of the people who can come here to watch the game are from Jincheng. Of course, they cannot support Dongchuan.
school, no matter how much they usually like Dongchuan’s special snacks...
Xia Wu's face turned gray in the stands. He originally wanted to bring his cousin to see the high school football overlords in Anton Province, in order to strengthen his determination to attend Jiaxiang High School.
Who would have thought that the car would overturn in the end.
"Xiaoyu, will you still come to Jiaxiang next year?" he asked reluctantly.
Xia Xiaoyu kept smiling: "You know, cousin, I haven't thought about it yet."
Hearing his cousin say this, Brother Dang's face turned even more ugly.

When the whistle sounded, Li Ziqiang did not celebrate the victory. Instead, he turned and walked to the coaching bench of Jiaxiang High School. When he was still five or six meters away from Feng Yuanchang, he already stretched out his hand and strode forward with a smile.
Although Feng Yuanchang's face was very ugly, at this time he still managed to cheer up and shook hands with Li Ziqiang, and said polite words: "Congratulations to Coach Li, this time you will represent our Anton in the national competition."
"Thank you Feng Zhi, we will try our best not to embarrass Anton High School football."
Logically speaking, the polite words between the two parties should have ended here, but after Feng Yuanchang retracted his hand, he suddenly asked: "By the way, Coach Li. I have a doubt..."
"Ah, Feng pointed out to you." Li Ziqiang was younger than Feng Yuanchang, and he assumed the attitude of a junior.
"That No. 14, we also learned a little bit about his information here and found that he had no football-related records at all when he was in junior high school. Do you understand what I mean? It means that he has never participated in the junior high school group Anton
Cup...did he transfer from another province?"
Feng Yuanchang put it tactfully. He actually suspected that Hu Lai was brought over by Li Ziqiang from Quanshun Football School, and Quanshun Football School is in another province. If he is a student who attended a professional football school and comes to an ordinary high school to join
School team, that would explain why he performed well but was unknown before that.
According to Feng Yuanchang's understanding: since a player of Hu Lai's level has no record of playing in the Andong Cup in the junior high school group, it can only mean that he did not study in a school in Andong Province in junior high school.
After hearing this, Li Ziqiang showed a stunned expression: "Ah, you are talking about Hu Lai. It's true, Feng Zhi. Before he joined our school team, he was a newcomer with no football foundation at all."
Hearing what Li Ziqiang said, Feng Yuanchang's eyes widened. His bulging eyes stared at Li Ziqiang, as if he wanted to see through his surface and look straight into his heart.
Seeing Feng Yuanchang's expression, Li Ziqiang spread his hands and said helplessly: "I know this is incredible, Feng Zhi. But what I said is true. Why did he only record these two appearances in the entire Anton Cup? Because he didn't even
My son cannot meet the requirements for the Dongchuan Middle School football team."
After he finished speaking, he saw that Feng Yuanchang was still standing there, looking at him blankly but not speaking, so he said: "Feng Zhi, if nothing happens, I'll leave first. I want to..." He pointed to the side
The players of Dongchuan Middle School were having a party at the stadium.
But Feng Yuanchang still didn't respond to him, so Li Ziqiang had no choice but to shake his head and leave on his own.
The assistant coach standing behind Feng Yuanchang came forward and stared angrily at Li Ziqiang's back and said: "This Li Ziqiang has gone too far. He even humiliated us like this after winning the game! How could a newbie with zero football foundation play in Wang Guangwei's position?"
Scored a goal under constant defense?! The game is over, we have lost, so why should we keep it a secret in front of us?"
Feng Yuanchang did not answer his doubts, but stared at the thin figure in trance. The old man's back seemed to be a little more rickety than usual...

"Okay, come on, everyone squeezes into the middle, forming an arc shape, and stands forward on both sides... Oh, yes, that's it..." The official photographer of the competition is holding a SLR camera and is directing the students of Dongchuan Middle School.
Players take positions.
The golden championship trophy was placed in the center of the formation. Captain Chu Yifan and vice-captain Yan Yan were behind the trophy, separated to the left and right. The others were divided into three rows and lined up one after another, like stars over the moon, holding the trophy
Surrounded in the innermost.
The head coach Li Ziqiang and the team leader stood at the outermost ends of the team respectively.
Just after everyone was in place, the photographer picked up the camera and wanted to press the shutter, but Chu Yifan suddenly raised his hand: "Wait a minute!"
He turned around and looked around, and he first saw Luo Kai in the second row behind them, in the center of the line, in the center.
Then he found Hu Lai on the left side of the third row. He stood up and waved to Hu Lai: "Hu Lai, come here!"
In the eyes of everyone, Hu Lai came around from behind and was pulled to his side by Chu Yifan, in the first row, next to the trophy.
Then Chu Yifan said to the photographer: "Okay."
Everyone saw this scene and knew why their captain did this, but no one raised a voice to object.
No matter how much they looked down on, disliked, or disliked Hu Lai before, everyone saw his performance today.
Things in football can be said to be complicated, but they can also be said to be simple.
As long as you show enough strength, no matter what your personality is, you will win respect.
Just like Luo Kai, he actually has a cold temperament and is a bit arrogant. He doesn't have many friends in the school team, but everyone just believes in him and passes the ball to him when he comes on the court. Is it because Luo Kai knows how to be a good person?
No, Luo Kai is strong and has proven that he is strong, so everyone is willing to believe in him.
And what about Hu Lai?
Before this game, he didn't show any convincing strength at all - the hook in the special training was considered by many to be another piece of bad luck on his part, and had nothing to do with his strength - of course many people were dissatisfied with him
The rating is quite low.
After all, they didn't know much about Hu Lai before, so they could only evaluate this person based on his football level. If he is not good enough, he will not be taken seriously and respected.
But after this final, everything was different.
Because Hu Lai proved his strength with his actual actions.
It was completely different from the lucky goal in the quarter-finals. This time he scored the goal that helped the team take the lead while being closely guarded by Wang Guangwei throughout the game.
It is of great significance and fully reflects his strength.
Now when captain Chu Yifan pulled him into the middle of the team, everyone acquiesced to this arrangement.
If someone wants to express dissent without opening their eyes, others will ask: "Can you also kill Jiaxiang High School with Wang Guangwei's close guard?"
If it is possible, then it is reasonable to stand in the C position.
If you can't, then shut up.
Through the viewfinder of the SLR camera, the photographer discovered that many people were not looking at the camera, but were looking at player No. 14 who had just been pulled into the middle from different angles. He had to remind everyone: "Everyone is looking at the camera.
Ah, look at the camera, the smile on your face is brighter, let me tell you, this photo will be on the homepage of our Anton Cup official website, occupying half of the page!"
Under his gentle guidance, everyone looked at the camera and showed the happiest smiles.
Then he pressed the shutter in time.
"Okay! That's it! One more picture! Good! Perfect! Beautiful!"
With the continuous sound of shutters, the scene of the entire Dongchuan Middle School football team surrounding the Anton Cup was frozen.
When these photos were taken, all the players and cheerleaders from Jiaxiang High School had left, so the scene was a little deserted.
But the players at Dongchuan Middle School didn't care at all.
They broke Jiaxiang High School's five-year monopoly on the Anton Cup, which is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that they will represent the high school football team of Andong Province in Lingnan City to participate in the 6th National High School Football Championship in March next year.
This is their first time appearing in a national competition.

Hu Lixin sat on the sofa and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall for an unknown number of times.
"What time is it now and you haven't come back yet?" There was dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Didn't you say you were going to celebrate your classmate's birthday?" Xie Lan said casually while scrolling through his phone.
"How long has it been since your birthday?"
"Maybe you can go sing after dinner? You are a young man. You won't go to school tomorrow anyway, so why do you care so much? Besides, don't be so strict with boys. Be careful that he will be timid in the future and dare not do anything.
Do."
Facing his wife's words, Hu Lixin did not refute. He just sat on the sofa and continued to stare at the clock on the wall.
After a while, he suddenly asked: "You said our son wouldn't hide anything from us, right?"
Xie Lan, who was scrolling through her cell phone, paused for a moment, but after that moment she continued to scroll through her circle of friends and said without raising her head: "Of course children nowadays have some privacy. If he really has something to hide,
We are normal, maybe we fell in love secretly."
"Nonsense." Hu Lixin frowned, but did not continue to delve into the matter.
At this moment, there was the sound of the door being unlocked, and their son opened the door and appeared at the door.
"Dad, Mom, why didn't you watch TV..." Hu Lai felt a little guilty when he saw his father sitting on the sofa with a serious look on his face, and the volume of his greetings was reduced by half.
"What are you doing?" Hu Lixin asked with a straight face.
"It's...Song Jiajia's birthday. Mom, didn't you tell dad?" When Hu Lai said this, his eyes naturally looked at his mother. He saw his mother behind his father making a V sign towards him.
, he knew that his father still didn’t know what he really went out to do, so he felt relieved.
"I told him that your dad was afraid that you would go too crazy playing outside... How about you, do you have fun?" Xie Lan stood beside her husband calmly and said to her son.
"Happy!" Hu Lai smiled. "Song Jiajia invited a lot of people. After we finished eating, we went to sing songs. They were still singing, so I came back first..."
Hu Lixin looked his son up and down, then paced back to the bedroom without saying anything.
Xie Lan asked his son with his lips from behind him: Did you win?
Hu Lai made the "V" gesture to her.
Xie Lan laughed, then bent down to pick up the mobile phone on the coffee table, and followed her husband into the bedroom.
Before closing the door, she didn't forget to tell her son: "Remember to take a shower. After playing outside all day long, you must be covered in stinky sweat."
"Don't worry, Mom, just leave me alone." Hu Lai, standing in the living room, waved to his mother.
After the door to his parents' bedroom was completely closed, he held his heart and let out a long breath.
Then he turned around, a little tired and a little excited, and walked towards his bedroom, twisting his butt and pumping his fists as he walked.
On this day, he participated in the final of the Anton Cup and scored a goal in the final, helping the team qualify for the national competition... It was simply fulfilling and perfect.
In this new world, he really felt like he was participating in it.

When the sound of the door opening came from downstairs, Li Qingqing was browsing the official website of the Anton Cup on his mobile phone. A news flash had just appeared on it, reporting the results of the game three hours ago in a short text:
The Dongchuan Middle School football team defeated Jiaxiang High School 2:1 in the final and successfully qualified for next year's national competition.
The three goals were scored by three players. Forward Xu Gaofei from Jiaxiang High School and Luo Kai and Hu Lai from Dongchuan Middle School.
When he saw the last name, Li Qingqing jumped up excitedly in his room.
Then she heard the sound of the door opening from downstairs. She didn't even bother to put on her shoes, so she rushed downstairs and saw her father who had already entered the door at the corner of the stairs.
"Dad, congratulations!" she shouted happily. "I've seen the news. You led the team to win the championship!"
But after she finished shouting, she realized that the expression on her father's face was very strange. Instead of being excited and happy after winning the championship, she had a trace of doubt.
And she noticed that there was a black sports bag in her father's hand. This sports bag looked familiar to her...
"Dad, is that the bag containing the trophy in your hand?"
Li Ziqiang lowered his head and glanced at the sports bag in his hand: "How could I get the trophy back? The team leader brought it back to school. This is Hu Lai's sports bag."
"Eh?" No wonder it looks familiar!
But what surprised her so much was how did this sports bag end up in her father's hands? Didn't she usually give it to Song Jiajia after games? Even after away games, Song Jiajia would go to the school gate and wait to get the bag.
"He said he came back too late from the finals today and his classmates couldn't come to help him get it, so he asked me if I could keep it for him temporarily." Li Ziqiang seemed to know what his daughter was wondering, and raised the sports bag in his hand.
, explained to his daughter.
The expression on Li Qingqing's face is difficult to describe in words.
"He said that because his father didn't allow him to touch football, he had been training and competing without telling his father, and he was not allowed to have anything related to football at home..." At this point, Li Ziqiang turned his eyes from the sports bag
He moved away and looked up at his daughter standing at the corner of the stairs, "Qingqing, you are his classmate, how much do you know about him?"
"Uh..." Li Qingqing scratched the hair on the back of his head, slightly confused, "I don't know him very well... but I did hear some things about him, um, some things."
Next to the living room with no lights on, Li Ziqiang stood under the warm light of the entrance hall, raised his head and said, "Qingqing, tell me about him. What kind of person is he?"
