Fox in the Penalty Area

Assistant coach Chen Mo came to visit the head coach's room, and as soon as he entered, he saw Zhao Kangming frowning thoughtfully.

"What are you doing? Are you in any trouble?" He asked with concern.

"No, I've always found it strange... Old Chen, haven't you noticed?"

"Find what?"

"The morale of the team doesn't seem to be very high... The players who came to the away game this time are not interested and excited enough. I even think...they don't want to come to the away game." Zhao Kangming explained his confusion just now come out.

"Isn't it? What you said is the same as passive competition." Chen Mo waved his hand, and then recalled carefully, "It's a little emotional, but it's not as serious as you said. And if you really care about it, Call Qin Lin and Li Tielin and ask them, don't you know?"

Zhao Kangming nodded: "Good idea, old Chen, can you help me call them both to my room?"

Chen Mo took out his mobile phone and called the two of them one by one.

Soon Qin Lin and Li Tielin came to Zhao Kangming's room one after another. After listening to Zhao Kangming's question, they didn't answer, but immediately looked at each other.

Only seeing the first reaction of the two of them, Zhao Kangming felt that there must be a ghost.

"It seems that you know what happened?" He asked in a deep voice, his tone not very good.

Something happened to the whole team under his nose, but he, the head coach, has been kept in the dark. This made him feel like he couldn't handle the 40-meter sword anymore?

Hearing what the head coach said, Li Tielin quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, Director Zhao. There is a reason, but it may not be the same as you think..."

"What do I think?" Zhao Kangming looked directly at the team captain Li Tielin coldly. Even if a head coach is usually gentle, he is still the manager of a team and has natural authority to suppress the players.

At this time, Qin Lin stood up to help his teammates. After all, he had a "teammate" relationship with Zhao Kangming. The relationship was extraordinary, and some things were easier to say. He explained: "The thing is like this, Zhao Kangming Guidance. Didn’t we draw the amateur team in the FA Cup draw before? But before the draw, we all made a bet with Hu Lai..."

Then he told the whole story to the two coaches present.

After listening, Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo looked at each other.

"It's that kid again!" Chen Mo said.

Zhao Kangming shook his head, and then asked Qin Lin: "So you all plan to line up to shine Hu Lai's shoes when he scores a goal?"

"Yeah, with so many people, you can't just let it go?" Qin Lin was also speechless. Who would have thought that such a low-probability event would be bumped into by Hu Lai?

Everyone wondered if Hu Lai's broken mouth was opened.

"Okay, it's okay, you two go back, get some rest early..." Zhao Kangming waved.

Qin Lin and Li Tielin bid farewell to the two coaches and walked out of the room. Just after closing the door, they heard a burst of laughter from the room behind them.

The two looked at each other, and both saw helplessness and depression in each other's eyes.

"If I knew it earlier, I would have stopped their nonsense." Li Tielin sighed.

"Who would know that?" Qin Lin shook his head, "Let's go, go back and rest, don't rest well then, if you lose the game tomorrow, you will be in big trouble."

Li Tielin also knew the seriousness of the problem: "Well, now the coaches know about it. If we lose, Director Zhao will wonder if we deliberately lost the game because we didn't want to shine Hu Lai's shoes..."

"Yeah, yeah, not only has to win, he has to score goals, he has to score goals. Sebastian will force cakes down his throat."

Hu Lai just got a chance in the penalty area, but at the same time he took a shot, the football was poked out of the baseline by the opponent's defender. He would rather give the flashing star a corner kick than let Hu Lai in their penalty area Taking a shot, Tongqi Eagle's defense against Hu Lai is really strict.

On the Xingxing bench beside the court, Chen Xingyi yelled regretfully and slapped his thigh hard.

Not only him, but the other Flash Star substitute players on the bench looked very annoyed.

Just watching this scene will definitely make people feel that the atmosphere in the Flash Star team is really good, and the players who can't play are so sincerely cheering for the players on the field. hang high" attitude.

Although the atmosphere in Flash Star's team is indeed good, the excitement of these substitute players obviously has nothing to do with outside speculation.

They are just because if Hu Lai scores the goal at this time, then they can collectively escape the disaster of shining Hu Lai's shoes...

Especially Chen Xingyi, originally he scored a goal in the FA Cup away game against Haixi Elite, and he played well. On the way back, he still dreamed of whether he could rely on such a performance to clear the flag for him in the next game. The Eagles game earned a starting spot.

If the head coach wants to let him rest on the bench considering that he played in the FA Cup away game, then he will follow the example of Hu Lai and go to Director Zhao, take the initiative to ask for a fight, and tell him that he is young and physically strong, and there is no problem at all in continuous battles. .

But when Director Zhao really didn't put him on the starting list before the game, he breathed a sigh of relief-this meant that he didn't have to shine Hu Lai's shoes on the court.

He thought that Hu Lai couldn't wait until he came off the bench and didn't score a goal, could he?

As a result, Hu Lai really didn't score in the first half, and Tongqi Eagle's defense of him caused him a lot of trouble.

During the intermission before, Chen Xingyi also questioned Hu Lai: "Didn't you say that you can score with me or without me? Then you scored one!"

As a result, Hu Lai said to him very nastyly: "Little Xingxing, I need you!"

Chen Xingyi turned around and complained to Zhang Qinghuan: "Brother Huan, Hu Lai doesn't want you anymore! This heartless and heartless man!"

Zhang Qinghuan waved his hands again and again: "I don't blame him, I wish you happiness."

Wang Guangwei couldn't take it anymore: "What kind of Qiong Yao drama are you doing here!"

Hu Lai corrected him: "The line is wrong, Lao Wang."

"What line is wrong? Where is it wrong?" Wang Guangwei was at a loss.

Hu Lai was serious: "You should say: 'Obviously I was the first'..."

There was wild laughter in the locker room.

Although Hu Lai did not score a goal, his running position attracted the defensive force and created opportunities for others to score. Therefore, in the first half, Flash Star still used Zhang Qinghuan's long shot to score a goal, temporarily leading the home team by one goal. eagle.

Now the game has entered the second half, the score is still 1:0, and the flashing star in the away game is leading.

At this time, whether Hu Lai can score a goal has become the most concerned thing for everyone.

Hu Lai almost got a kicker in the penalty area just now, but was cleared by the opponent's defender first, which made Flash Star's substitute players sigh and be happy in vain.

※※※

From the corner of Zhang Qinghuan's eyes, he caught a glimpse of an opening, which was in the distance, just behind the defense line of Tongqi Eagle.

And he believed that Hu Lai must have seen the gap and would run there.

Therefore, as a midfielder, he should pass the football and let Hu Lai get a chance to shoot in the penalty area.

It's just that if Hu Lai scores a goal, I have to polish his shoes...

But can he not pass the ball to Hou Lai for this reason?

Of course not.

The jokes between the teammates are the jokes, and they can't delay the team's game...

So whenever he gets the chance, he has to pass the football.

This is his professional responsibility and his work ethic.

But Zhang Qinghuan was a little unwilling to let him see himself handing over such a good opportunity to Hu Lai.

So he turned his head and looked at the area beside him, as if he was looking for an opening to pass the ball here, but he kicked the football to the opening in the distance.

Can't bear to look straight, can't bear to look directly...

"Zhang Qinghuan passed the ball...Wow! No Look Pass!" Shen Lang, the commentator of the Tengfei video, keenly noticed Zhang Qinghuan's small movements when passing the ball, and he exclaimed. "Beautiful!! Pass in the space, Holly! He catches the ball! Makes a little adjustment and shoots—"

In his roar, Hu Lai shot the football towards the goal this time before the opponent's defender jumped up to block it.

The football ran towards the near corner against the turf. The goalkeeper of Tongqi Yingying turned over and rushed back, but he couldn't touch the football, so he could only watch the football rush into his own net!

"The goal is scored!! Hu Lai!! Zhang Qinghuan's pass is really beautiful! This is the strength of 'Francis of China'!"

Although Shen Fei boasted about Zhang Qinghuan's pass, Zhang Qinghuan on the field couldn't be happy at all after seeing Hu Lai's goal. But he didn't run to Hu Lai who scored the goal immediately.

On the contrary, Hu Lai turned around after scoring the goal and ran back to the corner flag area, while hooking his teammates: "Come on! Be happy!!"

Chen Xingyi and his teammates on the bench jumped up, first hugged each other, and then raised their arms and shouted: "Hu Lai is awesome!!"

Chen Mo and Zhao Kangming on the coach's bench stood together on the sidelines after high-fiving to celebrate, casting expectant gazes on the field.

They want to see how the team's starters shine Hu Lai's shoes alone.

"Isn't it? I'm going too?" Goalkeeper Yu Zhiming asked Captain Li Tielin, pointing at himself.

Central defender Li Tielin grabbed Wang Guangwei and said to Yu Zhiming, "Go, all of you. Didn't you all have fun at the beginning? Go all of you!"

Yu Zhiming sighed, he was just joining in the fun at the time, but who would believe what he said now?

So he had no choice but to run to Hu Lai with other teammates.

The only thing he can comfort himself is that he doesn't have to be the first one.

The first one is the foreign aid Murphy, the foreigner Shicheng, just knelt down on one knee, took Hu Lai's right foot and put it on his lap, and started to shine shoes...

※※※

"Wow! Shoeshine celebration! Murphy shines Hu Lai's shoes! This kind of celebration is amazing!" Shen Lang exclaimed, and then gave the audience the symbolic meaning of this celebration. "This often means that the goal scorer has a very high status among his teammates and is very popular! Otherwise, how could ordinary people be willing to kneel down and shine shoes for others?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Qinghuan running up, knelt down on one knee, held Hu Lai's right foot, and polished his shoe...

"Ha! Zhang Qinghuan is here too! That's awesome, Hu Lai, to have two teammates shine shoes for him!"

Before Shen Lang finished speaking, he saw Qin Lin, the third Shining Star player, also knelt on one knee and polished Hu Lai's shoes...

Not only that, behind Qin Lin, there were more Flash Star players running up, and then lined up, kneeling down one by one to shine Hu Lai's shoes!

Shen Lang was dumbfounded.

"this is……"

Let alone him, the commentators of Anton Satellite TV, Tongqi Satellite TV, the fans watching the live broadcast in front of TVs, computers, and mobile phones, as well as the fans in the stands, the home team players, and the coaches were all dumbfounded --What's happening here?

The entire Shining Star team came to shine Hu Lai's shoes?

Is this battle too big? Isn't this status too high?

One or two players come to shine his shoes, and they can still say that he is popular and has a high status. But now that the whole team is here, can this be explained clearly only by good popularity and high status? Is there another meaning?

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Hu Lai landed on one foot, raised his right foot, put his hands on his hips, and laughed with his head up!

Happy like a child.
