my football i call the shots

Since Zhang Ziyang returned to China from Portugal, he needed to overcome jet lag. Cao Chen did not make arrangements for Zhang Ziyang's training session on the second day, but asked Zhang Ziyang to rest first. Let's talk about it later.

But in the training class the next morning, Zhang Ziyang unexpectedly appeared on the training ground like everyone else. Obviously, he asked Gao Yi and Bai Xiaolei to follow him. The situation is also unfamiliar.

When Cao Chen came over, he was very surprised to see that Zhang Ziyang had also come to gather.

"Huh? Ziyang, didn't I tell you to take a good rest to overcome the jet lag? Why do you get up so early?"

"It's okay, Coach Cao. I haven't trained with you for too long. Anyway, I woke up, so I'll come and train with you."

"Well... that's fine, but Ziyang, don't train too much today."

Cao Chen also looked pretty good looking at Zhang Ziyang, so he didn't stop Zhang Ziyang from training with the team.

"Understood Coach Cao."

After the simple communication with Zhang Ziyang, Cao Chen did not dare to waste time. After all, Xiao Wang reminded himself yesterday: Usually, it is because I talk too much nonsense that a training session takes so long. To be more efficient, Cao Chen decided to talk less in the future.

It's very simple. After Cao Chen explained the situation of Zhang Ziyang's return, he will repeat it to everyone based on Zhang Ziyang's tactics after his return. After Zhang Ziyang's return, the offensive task will be more inclined to Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang.

During this process, Cao Chen secretly glanced at Li Lei's expression from time to time.

However, Cao Chen was very surprised. Li Lei was not overshadowed by Zhang Ziyang's return, nor did he show any negative emotions on his face. On the contrary, Li Lei seemed to be relieved by Zhang Ziyang's return. Maybe, during this time During the training, although Li Lei has been earnestly and diligently improving himself, he can still feel that he obviously cannot keep up with the rhythm of Gao Yi and Jin Ling behind him.

Maybe, and that's a good thing, too.

The young man can understand that he is not qualified for the main position during training or actual combat, so that Cao Chen doesn't need to worry about similar locker room problems.

Seeing that Li Lei's potential problem no longer became a problem, Cao Chen felt relaxed and happy. After all, what Cao Chen is most worried about right now is the unity of the team.

Before the big battle, what the team needs to do most is to unite as a steel plate!
In this way, no matter how strong the opponent is, he still needs to be afraid of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School! ! !
After a brief explanation, the boys began to run laps to maintain their physical condition.Because of the rhythm of two training sessions a day, Cao Chen arranges the boys to run 4000-6000 meters in each training session. If the amount is too large, it will lead to accidental strain or physical exhaustion, which is not what Cao Chen wants to see.

However, just after the laps started, problems with Zhang Ziyang's return came one after another.

In the first 2000 meters, Cao Chen didn't notice anything unusual. Zhang Ziyang and Gao Yi beside him were chatting and laughing, just like usual. As if filled with lead, although he has always maintained a good speed in the middle of the team, compared with the calmness of his teammates, Zhang Ziyang's laps are particularly reluctant.

Ever since, Cao Chen deliberately blew the whistle in his hand.

"Beep!!! Ziyang, come here."

The boys were stunned for a moment when they heard Cao Chen's whistle, but when they heard that Cao Chen just called Zhang Ziyang over, the boys ignored them and continued to run around non-stop, continuing to complete the goal of this morning's training session.

And Zhang Ziyang didn't seem particularly surprised when he heard Cao Chen calling his name. On the contrary, Zhang Ziyang blushed. Obviously, he had already guessed that Cao Chen would call him out of the queue with his lap running quality.

Ever since, Zhang Ziyang didn't dare to be negligent, and hurried to Cao Chen's side, but obviously, Zhang Ziyang slowed down his pace, and Cao Chen was also very old-fashioned looking at the movement of Zhang Ziyang's legs.

It's not a problem if you don't pay attention, but once you pay attention, Cao Chen will find many problems.

I thought that Zhang Ziyang just didn't have enough rest, and the jet lag hadn't reversed yet, just like the lads of the Nanhu No. [-] Middle School team when they first arrived in Guangfu, they were depressed because of sleep quality problems.

But from Zhang Ziyang's not-so-obvious limping steps, Cao Chen could see: the problem is definitely not that simple! ! !
"Coach Cao, I'm sorry, I didn't get enough rest last night..."

"It's okay, I can understand this..." Cao Chen shook his head, because he knew the character of his beloved apprentice, not enough rest was just an excuse for him, right?
After Cao Chen finished speaking, he kept staring at Zhang Ziyang in front of him. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle that had already found its prey. Zhang Ziyang's face became hotter and hotter. Zhang Ziyang couldn't help but feel extremely uncomfortable. He lowered his head habitually, avoiding Cao Chen's sharp eyes.

"Ahem, Ziyang, I think, are you hiding something???"

"I……"

Zhang Ziyang wanted to lie to avoid Cao Chen's question, but Zhang Ziyang found that Cao Chen's eyes seemed to have a strong penetrating power and pierced his heart.Involuntarily, Zhang Ziyang put away the idea of ​​lying.

"Tell me, what's the matter with your right leg???"

"Hey! Coach Cao, did you see it?"

Now that Cao Chen has discovered the problem, Zhang Ziyang no longer conceals it, but directly stated his problem: "Whether the training intensity in Portugal is good, or the intensity of the team's competition is too terrible. , and in order to improve myself in a short period of time, the right leg and knee have been injured..."

"How can you hide your injury!!!"

Before Zhang Ziyang finished speaking, Cao Chen severely criticized him. Although Cao Chen pityed and valued his beloved apprentice, Cao Chen would criticize him mercilessly if his apprentice did something wrong.

"Ziyang! Did you know!? I can completely expel you from the school team if you hide your injury!!!"

"I……"

"Do you think it is an honor to train with an injury? Do you think I will be happy when you do this!? Ziyang, Ziyang! I don't blame you for going abroad for special training in such a willful way." Well, right now, you came back with an injury and didn’t even mention it, you even took part in the training without telling the truth! Seriously, this time! Uncle Chen is very disappointed in you! Very disappointed!!!”

Cao Chen punished every word, leaving Zhang Ziyang with no other emotions to speak of except depression.

You must know that when Cao Chen said this to Zhang Ziyang, he was already using the identity of "Uncle Chen", not the identity of "Coach Cao" he used outside.These words can be said to transcend the relationship between master and apprentice. Cao Chen is already training Zhang Ziyang as a good friend of Zhang Ziyang's father.

"Coach Cao, can I explain a few words?"

"Well, tell me." Cao Chen said with a sullen face, but at this moment, Zhang Ziyang said he wanted to explain, and Cao Chen would not stop him. After all, he also wanted to hear such a naive behavior from this mature boy. The choice is for what purpose.

"Ugh!!!"

Zhang Ziyang first sighed, let himself relax a little bit, and then explained his behavior one by one: "Coach Cao, I am very aware of how much my absence will affect our school team's training. This kind of knee Joint sports injuries are not something that can be healed after a day or two of rest. In order not to delay our Nanhu No. [-] Middle School's provincial finals match, even if it is closed at that time, I will stand up! Because I understand, we attack The frontcourt of the system does not allow me to play the role of 'bridgehead'!"

"Block it!??" Cao Chen looked at Zhang Ziyang with wide eyes in disbelief, and said in a broken voice, "You have already secretly injected the seal!?"

"This is not..."

Zhang Ziyang said with a grim expression: "I know that the seal will do a lot of damage to the knees, so if you can grit your teeth and persevere now, just stick to it. I think I will play the seal in the official game..."

"Nonsense!!! You are simply nonsense!!!"

Zhang Ziyang's words almost made Cao Chen go berserk.

Close the needle! ! !
You know, this thing can ruin an athlete's career!

This thing is like an anesthetic!But in fact, the closed needle is a method of local injection of anesthetics and neurotrophic agents, which can quickly relieve pain.But this can only act as a short-term paralysis effect. After the athlete seals the wound and plays the game, when the effect of the anesthetic fades away, the pain can be said to be doubled on the athlete's body!
Seeing that Cao Chen immediately ordered Zhang Ziyang: "You immediately go to Dr. Kang for me, and let Dr. Kang confirm whether you can participate in training! If the knee injury is particularly serious, I'm sorry Ziyang! Uncle Chen can only kick you out. The entry list for this provincial finals—I will definitely not let my players play closed matches with injuries for the sake of the team's results!"

"Hey! Coach Cao, actually, I don't know how my knee is doing..."

"Then why don't you go to Dr. Kang to help you see how the situation is going!?"

"But I don't know which room Doctor Kang lives in, Coach Cao..."

Zhang Ziyang had a bitter face.Now that Cao Chen knew about his knee injury, Zhang Ziyang didn't intend to continue. After all, he himself knew how much the impact of being closed would have on his future career. If possible, he would even Do you want to stay away from these things forever.

So, Cao Chen hurriedly signaled to Xiao Wang that he didn't need to help him with the training class this morning, and asked Xiao Wang to take Zhang Ziyang to Dr. Kang for a comprehensive examination of his right knee.

"No no no!!!"

Cao Chen felt that since Zhang Ziyang would choose to hide the hidden danger of his right knee for the sake of the team, it was hard to guarantee that he would hide the problems in other parts of his body.So, Cao Chen added: "Xiao Wang, you ask Dr. Kang to give Ziyang a comprehensive physical examination, remember! Comprehensive! Then give me a detailed and specific physical examination report. By the way, let Kang The doctor will see if there is any way to make Ziyang's right knee injury recover as soon as possible, or to slow down the injury..."

This string of crackling, like machine gun babbling, also bombarded Xiao Wang, who was suddenly a little confused.

Seeing Xiao Wang's bewildered expression, Cao Chen also helplessly slowed down his speech, and re-explained the main points of what he just said.

"Understood! Need more details...ah! Forget it, you can make a rough record of what happened after Dr. Kang's examination. I'll go directly to the old man after I disband later."

At this time, Cao Chen seemed abnormally irritable, but this was also a very normal situation.

After all, the long-awaited Zhang Ziyang finally returned to the team, but there was such a problem, which once again cast a dead shadow on Nanhu No. [-] Middle School's journey to the provincial finals.

Seriously, if Zhang Ziyang's knee injury is so serious that he will never be able to participate in the provincial finals, what Cao Chen thinks is: it's better not to come back!

This is what Cao Chen is most afraid of. He gave you the light of hope, but just when his confidence has recovered a little bit, he suddenly extinguishes the light, and the surroundings are once again plunged into endless darkness.

This endless darkness, in Cao Chen's view, is more deadly than the darkness at the beginning!Even more terrifying! ! !
