my football i call the shots

"Assemble!!! Assemble!!! Assemble!!!"

With a gloomy face, Cao Chen went back to the hotel to rest not long after, and went to the corridor of the players' dormitory to call the assembly horn. Hearing Coach Cao's slightly impatient voice, the boys didn't dare Neglect, after all, after training in the morning, everyone basically came back to take a shower and catch up on sleep. At this moment, sleep is basically no problem.

Bai Xiaolei walked out of his room with a puzzled expression on his face, looking at Cao Chen with a gloomy face, he also asked depressedly: "Oh! Coach Cao, didn't you say that we gathered at 4 o'clock, it's only 3:[-] o'clock now... ..."

Cao Chen glanced at Bai Xiaolei with a serious face and said, "Assemble as I said! Xiaolei, do you think I can punish you!?"

"Uh, Coach Cao, I was wrong..."

Bai Xiaolei was immediately frightened by Cao Chen's aura. After all, Cao Chen usually had a refined expression on his face. Even if he was annoyed by the boys, he would be angry at most, but now he was so serious. Expression, this is the first time Bai Xiaolei saw Cao Chen so serious.

The sensible Bai Xiaolei didn't dare to talk too much, so he quickly slipped back into the room to change clothes, not daring to procrastinate at all.

The others watched Bai Xiaolei's "defying the law" in exchange for such serious words, and the big guys also sped up their actions one by one. Although it was only 3:2 at the moment, seeing Cao Chen's emotions, even if it was [-] o'clock at the moment At half past one, the boys didn't dare to complain!

After all, Cao Chen's elegant personality has long been ingrained in the hearts of the boys, and now he suddenly changed his normal temper, and no one dared to provoke this inexplicably irritable head coach.

Because of Cao Chen's inexplicable anger, the boys took less than 10 minutes to gather at the training ground led by assistant coach Xiao Wang.

Compared with the ones who were dozing off in the morning, the mental outlook of the boys after catching up on sleep at noon is obviously much better at this time, but at this moment, taking advantage of Cao Chen's spare time before being present, the boys are also doing various things. Talking about Cao Chen's abnormal reaction today.

"I heard that Coach Cao didn't return to the hotel after training in the morning!"

"I know this. I wanted to find the old man for something else, but no one answered no matter how hard I knocked on the door!"

"I don't know where Coach Cao went during the noon period. Why did he come back with such a serious face?"

……

Seeing all kinds of gossips from his teammates and Cao Chen's inexplicable anger today, Gao Yi also joined the "discussion group" with great interest, and he joked with a smirk on his face: "Could it be that I went to see you before noon?" An old lover in Guangfu, and then recalling the past, all kinds of heartaches, and whenever he was in a bad mood, he would blame us..."

However, when Gao Yi was making fun of Cao Chen, Cao Chen's angry voice came from not far behind the queue: "Gao Yi! Get out of the queue!!!"

"Mom, it can't be so evil!"

Gao Yi yelled for help in his heart, and turned his head with an innocent face. The one he saw was Cao Chen standing at the back of the queue. At this time, Cao Chen's face turned darker, perhaps because he heard Gao Yi Was it the joke just now?
Or as the saying goes: you can't talk about people during the day, and you can't talk about ghosts at night.

Now, whenever Cao Chen is mentioned, Cao Chen will appear behind... Oh, as the saying goes: "When Cao Chen is mentioned, Cao Chen will arrive"!
Gao Yi naturally knew that what he had just joked about Cao Chen was heard, and he didn't dare to pretend to be crazy. He obediently ran to the back of the queue, stood in front of Cao Chen, bowed his head and obediently admitted his mistake: "Coach Cao, I was wrong..."

"10000 meters! Go!!! 100 meters less, I will let you practice 10000 more!!!"

"Follow orders!!!"

After receiving Cao Chen's punishment order, Gao Yi didn't dare to be negligent at all, and immediately ran out to the outside of the court, and started the hard-working lap this afternoon.But fortunately, Cao Chen's punishment is not too harsh. The 10000-meter lap training volume is just a piece of cake for Gao Yi now. You must know that some time ago, during Gao Xun's "devil training" Next, Gao Yi's physical training is running more than 20000 meters.

However, just as Gao Yi ran out of the door, Cao Chen added another sentence behind him: "10000 meters is just a punishment! After the run, you have to come back to participate in the training class like everyone else, including running laps to warm up ,Did you know!?"

Hearing Cao Chen's words, Gao Yi's body trembled as if he had been electrocuted.

It turns out that Coach Cao's punishment is "ruthless" like this...

But at this moment, what else can Gao Yi do?

After all, gossiping about others behind their backs is indeed a very disgusting thing, and Gao Yi can only nod obediently and swallow today's super-intensive training session.

"If you die by yourself, you have to carry it yourself..."

After talking to himself, Gao Yi started Cao Chen's 10000-meter penalty training.

Seeing Gao Yi begin to accept the punishment swiftly, Cao Chen let out a cold snort and returned to the front of the queue.

He glanced at the 21 young men below with a frosty face. At this moment, the young men stood more upright than ever before, and no one dared to offend Cao Chen anymore. No one wants to end up like Gao Yi... What a terrible thing it is to add an extra 10000 meters of running laps and a complete training session!

"Today I want to tell you one thing very seriously!!!"

"Um???"

The boys hurriedly pricked up their ears and waited carefully for Cao Chen's next words. After all, Cao Chen's words at this moment also meant why he was in such a gloomy mood today.

"Today is 8 days before the kick-off of the first round of the provincial finals. I told Zhang Ziyang before that if he fails to come back within a week before the start of the provincial finals, then I will eliminate him. He is qualified to participate in the provincial finals!!!"

Speaking of this, Cao Chen suddenly felt the restlessness in the team. Obviously, everyone was surprised why Cao Chen brought up this matter now.

"Everyone be quiet! Don't whisper in the background! This time, it's very serious!!!"

Cao Chen's deep voice made the boys startled, so the boys hurriedly stood upright, corrected their attitudes, and waited for Cao Chen to continue speaking.

"There is only one day left until the deadline for Ziyang to return to the team. Here, I need to be serious about the team rules: If Ziyang fails to come back tomorrow, he will be removed from the provincial finals squad !Everything will be done according to the previous agreement between me and him, and there will be no change! In other words, we are very likely to participate in the provincial finals with a roster of 22 people!!!”

After saying this, Cao Chen's face finally softened a little.

It turned out that Cao Chen's gloomy expression in the afternoon was precisely the problem that Cao Chen suddenly discovered when drinking morning tea in the morning: Zhang Ziyang's return date!
To be honest, Cao Chen was very conflicted because he didn't know what to do if Zhang Ziyang returned to the team to report before the registration deadline after passing the deadline he set.

Speaking from the bottom of his heart, Cao Chen certainly hoped that Zhang Ziyang would not miss the provincial finals.

But what Cao Chen thought was more far-reaching, if he was kind enough to let Zhang Ziyang, who did not return to the team on his original scheduled return date, sign up for the provincial finals, what would the other boys in the team think?Doing so will inevitably lead to problems in the locker room, and those boys who have made promises to themselves will definitely have objections in the future!

The war is approaching, and the morale of the army is not stable, that is a big taboo!

Cao Chen felt that no matter how important Zhang Ziyang's tactical significance to the team was, no matter how powerful Zhang Ziyang was, it would be more important for the team to unite as one!

What's the use of being powerful on paper but different in heart?That's just a paper tiger!

What's even more pitiful is that in the provincial finals, regardless of his qualifications or paper strength, Zhang Ziyang can't scare anyone after his return. This is the most embarrassing situation for Nanhu No. [-] Middle School at present.

Therefore, Cao Chen did what he did this afternoon in the hope that he would stop hesitating on this matter. It would be an official explanation in front of the boys. At that time, even if he wanted to go back on his word, he would have nothing to do. This was considered deliberate. Let's block your own back road.

Oh... As for punishing Gao Yi, that was not Cao Chen's original intention. Even if Gao Yi usually made fun of himself, Cao Chen didn't bother to punish Gao Yi.This is, when Cao Chen said these words, he needed to find an excuse to distract Gao Yi. After all, with the friendship between Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang, if Gao Yi stood in the team at this time, he would definitely stand there without hesitation. Come out to speak for Zhang Ziyang.

It just so happened that Gao Yi sneered just now, and Cao Chen just used this as an excuse to dismiss Gao Yi—anyway, running an extra 1 meters before training, for Gao Yi who has now inherited the banner of "running to death" in Yanbian football, that's nothing. It is a matter of "normal difficulty", and it is not considered corporal punishment at all.

After hearing the reasons for Cao Chen's gloomy expression today, the reactions of the boys can be described as wonderful and varied.

Some were shocked, some were relieved, some were nonchalant, some were dissatisfied...

No, after Cao Chen finished speaking, the 21 boys in the team commotioned for about a few seconds, and then the first voice of opposition came out.

"Coach Cao, you can't do this! Our lineup cannot lack Ziyang!!!"

The one who stood up to speak for Zhang Ziyang was none other than Zhang Ziyang in the school team. Besides Gao Yi, Bai Xiaolei was the best friend.

"Why can't Ziyang be missing?!"

Cao Chen's voice was so serious that it was irresistible: "First of all, Ziyang left without saying goodbye and ignored the school rules. This is enough for me to expel him from the school team! Second, Ziyang's willful choice caused the school to The team’s winter training period has now undergone a complete lineup run-in! Third, the content of the agreement between me and Ziyang is the same, and he himself agreed to it. This, no wonder others!!!”

Hearing Cao Chen's serious voice, Bai Xiaolei originally wanted to say something, but was suddenly discouraged. He struggled on the spot for a while, and then tried to ask a word: "Coach Cao... Can't we give Ziyang the green light? As you know, Ziyang is very important to our frontcourt offense! His role as a tactical fulcrum is something that no one in our school team can replace."

"I know the importance of Ziyang, even, I know it much better than all of you!!!"

Cao Chen remained unmoved by Zhang Ziyang's pleading, and he said with a rare stubborn face: "But the agreement is so, so we must do it according to the agreement! Even if Ziyang comes back tomorrow, but the body If the situation and competitive state can’t keep up with the provincial finals competition in a week, then I still have to remove him from the provincial finals competition list!!!”

"hiss……"

Hearing Cao Chen's words, the boys gasped involuntarily. They realized now that Cao Chen was not being serious about Zhang Ziyang leaving without saying goodbye.

"Ugh!!!"

Seeing that Cao Chen's intention was so decisive, Bai Xiaolei didn't continue to touch the steel plate, but retreated to the team with a sad face. At this time, Bai Xiaolei was also silently praying for Zhang Ziyang, hoping to leave Iberia Zhang Ziyang from the peninsula will be able to come back in the end.

The boys saw that Bai Xiaolei's intercession was useless, and everyone didn't dare to say anything at this moment. After all, at this moment, except for Zhang Ziyang's ability to come back in time, other words are superfluous.

Seeing that the young man was silent, Cao Chen couldn't help but relax.

His voice was a little gentler and he said: "Boys, don't blame Coach Cao for being so determined this time. There is only one more week left before the provincial finals. At this moment, Coach Cao Can’t hesitate! Wait one more day! If Ziyang fails to return to the team tomorrow, then we will put all our efforts into adapting the frontcourt offensive system without Ziyang in this period of time... Li Lei!!!”

After being called by Cao Chen, Li Lei hurried out of the queue to report: "Coach Cao."

"Um!!!"

Cao Chen looked at Li Lei who came out of the line with encouraging eyes: "If Ziyang really can't make it back, then you will be the center player of the team! At that time, you can set an example and stand up to Ziyang's The position is up! The team's goals cannot be scored by Gao Yi alone, and you, the center forward, need to contribute..."

Having said that, Cao Chen looked at the other boys off the court: "Of course, including Jin Ling, Xin Lin, Dong Nan, Wang Fei, Wang Bo, Hao Ming... you all need to get Play your own skills, use quantity to make up for quality in the offensive link, do you understand!???"

"Understood!!!!!"

Except for Gao Yi who was being punished, the boys in the center and front responded enthusiastically.

It has to be said that Cao Chen's ability to mobilize the players' emotions and improve morale is indeed extraordinary, first restraining and then raising, making the boys feel like they have been beaten.

Of course, this has to exclude Gao Yi who is being punished. At this time, Gao Yi who is running around outside the field is muttering dissatisfiedly.

"Hey! Why is Coach Cao so angry? It's really strange."

However, for some unknown reason, Gao Yi's brain circuit suddenly switched to another question.

"There is only one day left before that guy Zhang Ziyang returns, and I don't know if that guy will be able to come back in time tomorrow? Sigh! This question is really annoying, annoying!"

……

all right!So, Zhang Ziyang, can he come back tomorrow?

Moreover, what kind of state will it return to?

The answer will be revealed tomorrow! o(∩_∩)o
