football is not round

Next time:
Mengxi Stadium is still in the fifth round of the National Men's Football League A match. The two sides of the match are Shengcheng PIP Football Club and Shenbei Team of the same city.

In the second half of the game, the two sides were still evenly matched, and the scene was anxious.The head coaches of the two sides dispatched troops, and Piruk unexpectedly left the last substitution spot to Li Weifeng, a young central defender who had just been promoted to the first team in the new season.

Li Weifeng, who played for the first time, was alright. His parents and his mentor, Coach Ma, who lived far away in Xiaolian City, were a little nervous.

With the appearance of Li Weifeng, the situation of the game changed.Li Weifeng, who finally came on as a substitute, seized the chance to equalize the score in front of the goal. Now the score is [-] to [-].

The big screen above the south side of Mengxi Stadium shows that the game time has been 10 minutes. At this time, the fourth referee on the sidelines also raised a light board, and the number above shows: three.

The broadcast of the stadium is also turned on again: "Second half stoppage time: 3 minutes."

At this time, the loyal fans in the East Stand and North Stand waved the team flag again, and shouted to encourage the team:

"Boom boom boom" "Shengcheng!" "Enter one!"

"Boom boom boom" "Shengcheng!" "Enter one!"

"Boom boom boom" "Shengcheng!" "Enter one!"

"Boom boom boom" "Shengcheng!" "Enter one!"

"Boom boom boom" "Shengcheng!" "Enter one!"

. . . . . .

At this time, Li Qingcheng took the ball again, and the Shenbei team obviously strengthened their defense because of the tie.Li Qingcheng took the ball in the midfield and still moved to the right. Soon, a player from the Shenbei team rushed up and Li Qingcheng was knocked to the ground.

"Di..." A whistle sounded, and the referee signaled Shen Bei's defensive foul and awarded a free kick.

Li Tie quickly ran to Li Qingcheng's side, stretched out his hand to lift Li Qingcheng, said a few words and then ran to the penalty area of ​​the Shenbei team.Li Qingcheng also waved to his teammates to signal to press forward, and at this time, except for Zheng Tao, the extremely fast Li Xu and a central defender in the midfield, the rest of the Shengcheng team stood in the Shenbei team's penalty area.

I saw that Shen Bei's penalty area was full of players from both sides, and everyone was pulling each other's clothes when the referee couldn't see it.Ike yelled at the referee, and signaled that his jersey was torn into half by the opposing player.

The referee ran to the penalty area and pressed down with both hands, signaling the players to abide by the rules and remain calm. Both players said that they did not tear it up by themselves, and that the opponent moved too much.All kinds of gestures, shirk responsibility.After the referee suppressed the scene, Ike hurried to the sidelines to change his clothes, but did not make further penalties for the actions in the penalty area.

The Shengcheng bench in the half-court had clearly seen what happened in the penalty area of ​​the Shenbei team. The staff had already taken Ike's game uniform and ran behind Shenbei's goal.After Ike quickly changed his clothes, he returned to the penalty area and continued the game.

"Di..." After the silence in Mengxi Stadium, the referee blew his whistle.

Li Qingcheng ran up, and then kicked the ball four or five corners towards Shen Bei's penalty area.I saw that as the ball flew into the penalty area, players from both sides jumped high to compete for the top.

"Li Weifeng!" The TV commentator shouted this name.

At this time, everyone in the stadium also saw Li Weifeng jumping high and standing out from the crowd, grabbed the football, and headed towards Shen Bei's goal.

Seeing everything in front of her eyes, Nuan Xiaoxi also clenched her left fist tightly.

Even Governor Chen's secretary, who didn't know much about football, was staring at the direction of the football's flight.

Li Weifeng's parents in the stands watched intently, and there was silence in the sports city at this time.

. . . . . .

Time goes back to ten years ago from this moment.

"Mom," Li Weifeng, who was only eight years old, called when he came home from school.

"Why?" Li Weifeng's mother agreed while cooking in the kitchen.

"Today it's time for our extra-curricular football tutoring after school. The provincial head coach, Coach Ma, is here." Li Weifeng put his schoolbag on the sofa in the living room and ran into the kitchen to report to his mother.

"Has Coach Ma watched your game?" Li Weifeng's mother asked while kneading the dough.

"Yes."

"How did you play today?"

"I played well today and scored a goal."

"Really? Well done." Li Weifeng's mother praised Li Weifeng.

"Today, the coach asked me to go over alone to perform juggling for Coach Ma." Li Weifeng started to show off a little.

"How are you doing?"

"I flipped more than 100 times."

"Well, okay, I'll put more meat stuffing in the dumplings for you later."

"Thank you mom."

After more than an hour, Li Weifeng's father also got off work, and the family had dinner on time.After the dishes and chopsticks were placed, there was a knock on the door.

"Go, open the door and see who it is." Li Weifeng's father said to Li Weifeng.

Li Weifeng ran to the door and stood on tiptoe and saw his school coach and Ma Lao, the head coach of the provincial football team who came to see him in the afternoon, standing outside the door.

"It's our school coach and the head coach of the provincial football team, Coach Ma." Li Weifeng hurriedly turned around and shouted to his father.

"Then open the door quickly." Li Weifeng's father reprimanded him, and then quickly got up and walked towards the door.

Li Weifeng opened the door of his house, only to see two coaches, one carrying a large bag of cooked food, and the other carrying several bottles of wine.

"Hey, welcome to Coach Li." Li Weifeng's father went to school many times to see Li Weifeng play football, communicated with Li Weifeng's school a lot, and knew the coach of the school football team in front of him, Coach Li.

"This is Mr. Ma, the head coach of our provincial football team. Hurry up and invite him in first. This is a rare visitor." Coach Li complimented Mr. Ma.

"Hey, how dare you dare." Old Ma said politely.

Li Weifeng hurriedly handed slippers to the two guests who came suddenly.

"Silly boy." Li Weifeng's father slapped Li Weifeng on the head, "You don't need to change your shoes, just come in, or you have to wipe the floor at home." Li Weifeng's father was polite to Ma Lao.

"Hey... I'm here tonight for business, and I have to eat a meal at your house, so loosen your slippers." Ma Lao put down the wine in his hand and changed his shoes. "By the way, this wine is for you, and Lao Li still has cooked food in his hand, so he is afraid that the food at home is not enough." Ma Lao looked up after changing his shoes.

"You're being polite. It's an honor for you to come." Li Weifeng's mother also came to the door and ended up with a large bag of cooked food that Coach Li handed her.

"Don't worry about eating, this is what Ma Lao brought from the canteen of the provincial team." Coach Li instructed.

Li Weifeng's father hurriedly let the two coaches into the room, "Don't be dazed, go to the storage room to get the stools, wipe them well, and serve the bowls and chopsticks." Li Weifeng's father said to Li Weifeng.

"Oh." Li Weifeng began to get busy.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm making some dumplings and getting some vegetables."

"Don't make dumplings, I think it's almost enough, and there are cooked food. Do you have cucumbers and peanuts at home?" Ma Lao, the head coach of the provincial football team at the time, said when he saw four plates full of dumplings on the dining table.

"Yes, yes." Li Weifeng's mother hurriedly answered the conversation in the kitchen.

"Then take a cucumber, fry a peanut, and break the cooked food, that's enough. Do you have anything else tonight?" Ma Lao arranged.

"No, no." Li Weifeng's father quickly replied.

"Then let's have some drinks together. Li Weifeng, bring some drinks too." Coach Li came out of the bathroom after washing his hands, and said.

"Hey, that's great." Li Weifeng happily agreed.

"Is there any beer at home?" After Ma Lao asked, he also went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

"Xiaofeng, you go down and buy two more boxes of beer, and you're also buying some more drinks. If you can't move, ask someone to help you in the store." Li Weifeng's mother instructed.

Mr. Ma came out after washing his hands, and saw Li Weifeng's mother quickly making dumplings: "No need to make dumplings, it's so troublesome."

"It's okay, the minced meat is ready-made, hurry up." Li Weifeng's mother said politely.

"Sit down," Li Weifeng's father let Mr. Ma onto the sofa.

"His father, there are good tea leaves on the kitchen cabinet. The Longjing tea that Xiaofeng's uncle brought back from Hangzhou last time is in the kettle." Li Weifeng said.

"It's a real family, both parents are employees." Coach Li introduced to Mr. Ma.

"Yes," Mr. Ma agreed, stood up and walked around looking around Li Weifeng's house.Although Li Weifeng's house has two bedrooms, the total is less than seventy square meters.Entering from the door is a ten square living room.On the left is the kitchen, on the right are two bedrooms, and directly opposite is the four-square-meter bathroom.

Because the living room is not big, there is no coffee table in Li Weifeng's house, so Li Weifeng's father temporarily used two stools as coffee table.Put the cups in front of the two coaches and pour the freshly brewed tea.Ma Lao looked at the tea leaves in his cup, and Li Weifeng's father poured the tea into the cup before the color had reached it.

"How long has it been since you bought this house?" Mr. Ma asked, seeing that the house hadn't changed much.

"Well, it's only been two years." Li Weifeng's father replied.

"Not much decoration?"

"Yes, when I bought the house, I borrowed a lot of money, so I didn't do much decoration." Li Weifeng's father said honestly.

"Well, these two spend a lot of money for their children. They are willing to let their children participate in any summer camp. In recent years, Li Weifeng's equipment for playing football and the couple have been very concerned about eating." Coach Li explained to Ma Lao on the side.

"Hey, isn't there just one family?" Li Weifeng's father said truthfully.

"Hmm..." Mr. Ma was thoughtful, and then asked, "Is there any sports at home?"

"My son's uncle used to play basketball in college, but now he doesn't play basketball when he's at work."

"Why do you want to send your child to football?" Mr. Ma continued to ask.

"At the beginning, the kid liked it. After playing for a few years, the more he played, the better he got, and this kid really worked hard. I always go to school to communicate with Coach Li, and I think that since the kid likes it and can keep up, let him continue to practice. The two of us have nothing to do in this life, so that's it. I hope Xiaofeng has something to do."

"Well, but what should I do if I fail?"

"What else can I do? The conditions are much better now. If it doesn't work, I can start some business or something, and I won't starve to death. At least Xiaofeng has worked hard on his own, and he won't regret it when he grows up."

"Effort and talent are indispensable." After Ma Lao said, he picked up the cup and blew on the tea with a few tea leaves floating in it, and the tea was slightly colored at this time.

"Mr. Ma is an old coach in our province, do you know who he has trained?" Coach Li asked from the side.

"I know, I know. The well-known players in our province are all trained by Mr. Ma, and so is Li Jinyu now." Li Weifeng's father replied.

"Do you want to give me the child?" Mr. Ma sipped his tea and looked up.

"I want to, why don't I want to, I want to dream." Li Weifeng's father said excitedly.

"I can train children hard, and I can't guarantee that Li Weifeng will be able to kick them out." Ma Lao said to Li Weifeng's father heavily.

"I...I, I know, I know." Li Weifeng's father thought about it when he opened the door and saw Mr. Ma with his own eyes, but now he is still excited when he hears it with his own ears, "Look, is Xiaofeng really good?"

"Football requires hard work and talent, both are indispensable. Without hard work, you can't succeed, and without talent, you can't do it. Have you seen Li Jinyu?" Ma Lao said to Li Weifeng's father.

"Well, well," Li Weifeng's father nodded frequently.

"Zhang Enhua was quite honest back then, and he practiced extra every day. But he was beaten by my belt, and I whipped him several times." Ma Lao recalled.

"Don't worry, the child is entrusted to you, you can hit it as you like." Li Weifeng's father promised.

"Also Li Jinyu, don't look like the Asian Footballer, he was not honest a few years ago. He didn't train well, and went out to play games at night over the wall. The next day, I sat on his bedroom bed and waited for him. At that time, they all came in through the window on the second floor." Ma Lao recalled to himself.

"I took the mop in the dormitory and hit it directly. In the end, I discounted the mop handle. It was only later that Li Jinyu became obedient, and he hasn't gone out since then." Ma Lao recalled that year, and sipped his tea again.

Mr. Ma went on to say: "Talent determines the height of a player. Whether you are a world star or a domestic star. But there are more people without talent. As long as they are not stupid and work hard, they still have a chance to succeed."

"Hmm," "Hmm," Coach Li and Li Weifeng's father on the side nodded.

"Whether it's going to school or playing football, learn to be a person first. Be an honest person, an honest person, and a hardworking person. I still have the confidence to lead Li Weifeng well." Ma Lao finally promised.

"We don't worry, we don't worry." Li Weifeng's father assured him.

"What conditions do you have? Titi." Old Ma said politely.

"What conditions can we have? If you bring Neng Xiaofeng, we will burn incense." Li Weifeng's father said politely.

"Today, I'm here to communicate with you. Let's talk. If you don't understand, you can ask." Mr. Ma continued.

"Well, I want to know if Li Weifeng still goes to school?"

"Go, keep going to school. The youth team has culture classes. If you can't read, how can you read tactics. Besides, there are many players studying abroad now, and English is also a compulsory course. When you go abroad, you can't communicate, you can't communicate, and the coach doesn't understand tactics. How do you play football?" Ma Lao explained.

"Oh, then I'm relieved."

"Any more?"

"Then live in school? Or?"

"It's closed when there are games, and it's fine to go to school when there are no games." Ma Lao said while sipping his tea. "Oh, by the way, our club has a bus to pick you up, don't worry about that."

"How much is the tuition fee for a year?" Li Weifeng's father asked after hesitating for a long time.

"Well, the normal year is [-], depending on the family conditions. I'll go back and talk to the leader about your family's situation. After all, I like Li Weifeng too. I will try to give you half of it." Ma Lao said.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Ma." Li Weifeng's father said excitedly.

"Let me tell you Xiaofeng's father, if Mr. Ma doesn't like the child, he won't take it even if he gets [-] a year." Coach Li chimed in.

Li Weifeng's father knew about this. After all, he always went to school or played games with the school football team, and occasionally communicated with his parents. Li Weifeng's father knew about it.So today Mr. Ma took the initiative to visit his home and accepted Li Weifeng as a child. Li Weifeng's father was still very excited.After all, he spent countless nights in bed dreaming of the day when Li Weifeng would enter the provincial youth team.

Then Mr. Ma briefly introduced other situations of the youth team. Coach Li added, although he didn't know how much Li Weifeng's father could listen to in his excited mood.

Over there, Li Weifeng's mother's dumplings have already started cooking, and other dishes are also coming up one after another.Hearing the sound of the door opening, Li Weifeng took the clerk from the supermarket downstairs carrying two boxes of beer and one box of drinks back home.

"Professional players can't drink carbonated drinks." Ma Lao said when he saw the drink.

"Yes," Li Weifeng agreed.

"I'm happy to reward you with a bottle today." Coach Li said happily from the side.

"That doesn't work either. You will have to demand yourself as a professional player in the future." Coach Ma said emphatically.

"Have you heard that? From now on, you will always listen to Coach Ma's words. Whether you listen or not, I won't beat you to death." Li Weifeng's father chimed in.

Several people got on the table, and Mr. Ma saw that the plate of dumplings placed in front of Li Weifeng was obviously different in color from the other three plates.Mr. Ma is also from the north and loves to eat dumplings. He knows that these are Li Weifeng's dumplings, and the fillings are obviously much better.

Li Weifeng's father saw Ma Lao staring at the dumpling in front of Li Weifeng, and quickly moved the dumpling in front of Li Weifeng to Ma Lao.

Mr. Ma put the dumpling that Li Weifeng's father had just put in front of him back in front of Li Weifeng, picked up a dumpling from other plates, took a bite, and put it in a bowl.He raised a glass of beer to respect Li Weifeng's father, and at the same time said to Li Weifeng: "Poor parents in the world!"

"New dumplings, Mr. Ma, you come here." Li Weifeng brought out two steaming dumplings from the kitchen and put them on the table in front of Mr. Ma and Coach Li respectively.

Today, ten years later, Li Weifeng finally made his debut, playing for the team that is now called Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club for the first time.

Li Weifeng's parents stood on the east stand of Mengxi Stadium, with two excited hearts and four trembling hands.

When the game came to stoppage time, Shengcheng took a free kick in the frontcourt and Li Qingcheng took the penalty. The ball hit Shenbei's penalty area. Li Weifeng jumped high and hit the football. The football changed its original direction and spun towards Shenbei's goal. . . . . .

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.

This chapter is over.

Postscript (interlude, tidbits, extra episodes):

When Nuan Xiaoxi and Li Xinyi first started dating, one night Li Xinyi finished the live broadcast and returned to her bedroom where she lived.

"Hey, why didn't the broadcast end?" Nuan Xiaoxi complained while flipping through the book.

"The eldest brother in the room just finished his drink today, so he went online late." Li Xinyi said while sitting on the dressing table while removing her makeup.

"Hey, an anchor without talent has to watch the elder brother eat." Nuan Xiaoxi flipped another page of the book, sarcastically.

"Who has no talent!" Li Xinyi was a little angry.

"No, no, I dare not say you." Nuan Xiaoxi hurriedly put down the book, got up from the bed, stood up barefoot and hugged Li Xinyi from behind.

"Get up." Li Xinyi snapped angrily, trying to get rid of Nuan Xiaoxi.

"You still sing very well, to be honest, I like it very much." Nuan Xiaoxi explained.

"Then you still say that I have no talent, hmph." Li Xinyi acted coquettishly, and Li Xinyi knew that this sentence was true.Because she didn't know that when Nuan Xiaoxi was a teapot, the teapot sincerely expressed her love for Li Xinyi's singing, and also seriously discussed singing skills with Li Xinyi.

"But I think the live broadcast is too late at night, and I like your figure more than I like your song." Nuan Xiaoxi said euphemistically.

"You forgot, you didn't pick the clothes I wear in these live broadcasts?" Li Xinyi looked at Nuan Xiaoxi from the mirror.

It was only then that Nuan Xiaoxi realized that she had dug this hole by herself. It was indeed most of the clothes that Li Xinyi was wearing during the live broadcast. Nuan Xiaoxi used her identity as a teapot to help Li Xinyi choose from the Internet.

"Hey, I can't help it. Who told me my wife is naturally beautiful..." Nuan Xiaoxi sighed and lay back on the bed.

"Okay, okay, okay. Can't I dress conservatively in the future?"

"No, I'm not so stingy." Nuan Xiaoxi quickly waved at Li Xinyi in the mirror.

"Okay then, I'll listen to you." Li Xinyi said with a smile.

Nuan Xiaoxi is not stupid, she knows that women love beauty.

After a while, Li Xinyi took off her makeup and washed and lay on the bed with her back to Nuan Xiaoxi.Nuan Xiaoxi hugged Li Xinyi tightly from behind, with one arm lying on Li Xinyi's neck, and the other on Li Xinyi's chest.

"Why is yours so big? You can't hold it with one hand." Nuan Xiaoxi said with her lips pressed against Li Xinyi's ear.

"Well, I have been drinking soy milk since I was a child. It seems that there is something in the soy milk, I forgot." Li Xinyi turned and said to Nuan Xiaoxi with her face close to her.

"Oh..." After Nuan Xiaoxi answered, she began to kiss Li Xinyi.
