my football i call the shots

The next day, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Nanhu No. [-] Middle School arrived at the Dongjiao Field in Yuexiu District, Guangfu on time. Unlike the previous atmosphere of enthusiastic preparations, the boys in Nanhu No. [-] Middle School were in a very good mood today. Everyone All excited smiles.

Now that the school team has already qualified ahead of schedule, what else is there to be nervous about?

Even those boys who had never played for the school team looked calm. Perhaps, they also knew that no matter how serious they were, they would still be like that, and it would be better to be happy and face the game.

A group of people from Nanhu No. [-] Middle School entered the infield and saw that Baili Memorial Middle School had already started stepping on the field.

At the same time, on the bench of Baili Memorial Middle School, a [-]-year-old man who was about the same age as Cao Chen watched Nanhu No. [-] Middle School enter the field, and he greeted him with all kinds of happy faces.

Since Cao Chen was the only person in Nanhu No. [-] Middle School who looked like the head coach, the [-]-year-old man who came up to him accurately found Cao Chen, and he smiled flatteringly and said, "You are from Nanhu No. [-] Middle School." Coach Cao Chen???"

Cao Chen responded with a smile, "I'm Cao Chen, you should be Coach Lu, right?"

"Hello, hello! My name is Lu Jiang, and I am the head coach of Baili Memorial Middle School."

After all, Coach Lu also shook Cao Chen's hand very enthusiastically, and continued to say various polite words: "In my opinion, your team's strength is definitely the strongest in Group A! As a rookie in the Guangdong-Guangzhou Division, you can win the first In the first round, it overturned the Provincial Experimental Middle School. In the second round, it drew with the provincial champion Nanning No. 7 Middle School in Guanggui Province. In the third round, it defeated Guilin Middle School 0-[-]. Such a strength, I think! It is definitely the only one in our Guangdong-Guangzhou competition area A strong contender for a ticket to the National Finals!"

"Uh, Coach Lu has won the award..."

I have to say that what coach Lu Jiang of Baili Memorial Middle School said made Cao Chen blush. This is the first time his team has received such exaggerated praise... You know, half a year ago, Nanhu The combat task of the lieutenant colonel team is to break through the embarrassment of "not entering the second round" in the municipal competition area.

Now, unexpectedly, being praised by others as "the only strong contender in the national finals in the Guangdong and Guangxi competition area", no matter how thick-skinned Cao Chen is, it is really difficult to accept such a compliment.

And coach Lu Jiang didn't care. Cao Chen blushed when he heard that. He looked at the players of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School behind Cao Chen, and continued with emotion: "Wow! I have to say, Coach Cao, you The players under his command are really strong! With this average altitude, if we play high-altitude tactics, our team is really not the opponent of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School! Ah, you are 'Cheetah' Gao Yi!? Tsk tsk, too strong , I have been telling my players: Gao Yi in Nanhu No. [-] Middle School is like Ronaldo in the Guangdong-Guangzhou competition area! Your side lane skills are too good! Great!"

"Uh……"

Well, Gao Yi is as thick-skinned as Gao Yi. After hearing such "merciless praise" from Coach Lu Jiang, Gao Yi also blushed in various ways, and replied embarrassingly: "Uh, Coach Lu, you Too much prize..."

Cao Chen also hurriedly helped his boys out of the siege and said, "Okay! Let's go get ready to warm up first...Xiao Wang! You take everyone with you, and I will chat with Coach Lu, and I will go there later. "

"it is good!!!"

Obviously, Xiao Wang is also too lazy to continue to dawdle with the coach Lu from Baili Memorial Middle School who is full of polite words and runs the train. They are fully prepared, and Nanhu No. [-] Middle School has only come here now. Although this game is going to release water for Baili Memorial Middle School, warming up before the game is an important factor to avoid injuries during the game.

Although there are a lot of substitute players and marginal players in the team, some of them are still the team's regular rotation, or even the main players.For example, Gao Shiyu, Wu Xinlin, Ouyang Rui, Wang Fei, Li Lei, they are all likely to continue to play for the team in the knockout stage.

Ever since, under the greeting of Teacher Wang, everyone did not dare to neglect to walk to the sidelines—after all, it is better to obediently go to the side to warm up and prepare than to listen to this coach Lu who is full of trains.

After warming up, everyone can play and talk casually, but in front of that coach Lu, they still seem somewhat restrained.

After the boys from Nanhu No. [-] Middle School left, Cao Chen and Coach Lu Jiang went to the side to chat.

Coach Lu Jiang looked around, and after confirming that there was no ear in the partition wall, he said to Cao Chen cautiously: "Coach Cao! To tell you the truth, I have already sent my assistant coach to the Dongshan Stadium. Watching the match between Nanning No. [-] Middle School and Guilin Middle School, half an hour before the game, we will know how the starting situation there is. Also, I will let my teaching assistant stay there to track how the battle is going. Condition."

"That's fine..."

Seeing Coach Lu Jiang so focused on another game, Cao Chen felt relieved.

After asking about his health for a while, Cao Chen didn't forget to inquire about Zhou Shuquan's situation.

Cao Chen asked with concern: "How is your team's 'super midfielder' Zhou Shuquan recovering from his leg injury? Will he be able to catch up with the knockout stage???"

"Shuquan's condition is alright..."

I saw Coach Lu Jiang shaking his head helplessly and sighing: "The defensive players of the Provincial Experimental Middle School kicked too hard, so they kicked down! Sigh! Fortunately, after the inspection, no bones and muscles were injured. It can be regarded as a soft tissue contusion. Rest for a while God, I should be able to catch up with the last round of competition."

"Ah! That's good, that's good..."

Cao Chen also smiled and said, "As long as Zhou Shuquan can make a comeback in the fifth round, it will be much easier for your team to qualify for the group stage."

"Yes……"

Coach Lu Jiang also said with emotion: "Everyone knows that our Baili Memorial Middle School has two teams with Shuquan and without Shuquan. Shuquan's organizational ability is indeed the best player in this age group. I think , there is no one of them. It’s just that I am also very helpless. Apart from Shuquan, there is no other player in our Baili who can do it alone. Otherwise, I would not make such a bad move and ask you to be able to do it on the first day Four rounds... uh, hold your hand high."

"I also don't want a genius like Shuquan to return home so early. I think a talented player like Zhou Shuquan should have more opportunities to perform on the stage of the provincial finals..."

I saw Cao Chen also said to Coach Lu with envy on his face: "To tell you the truth, I am very envious that Baili Memorial Middle School can have a talented midfielder like Zhou Shuquan. Everyone knows very well that there is a genius If the midfielder sits in charge, the overall strength of the team can at least be improved a lot. An excellent all-round midfielder is really important to the overall operation of a team!"

"Ha ha……"

I saw coach Lu Jiang helplessly smiled and shook his head and said: "Let me tell the truth, in fact, compared to only a 'super midfielder' like Shuquan supporting alone, I envy your team more like Gao Excellent players like Yi, Zhang Ziyang, Bai Xiaolei, Jin Ling, and Wang Bo can spread the offensive firepower. Even if one point is blocked, other points can be filled. Just like your team's "Little Ibrahimovic" Zhang Ziyang in the first two rounds Without being a starter, he was still able to rely on his overall defense and 'Cheetah' Gao Yi's powerful side attack ability to win the provincial test and draw with Nanning No. [-] Middle School."

"wrong……"

I saw Cao Chen pretending to be serious and said: "We should be envious of having a 'super midfielder' like Zhou Shuquan, a goalkeeper like Xiaolei, and a striker like Gao Yi and Ziyang! The 'Black Bear' Lin Yaocong of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School, such a team is the perfect existence! If this is the case, it is estimated that they will be able to compete with those strong teams in China in the national finals!"

"Uh……"

I saw coach Lu Jiang of Baili Memorial Middle School laughing and said: "Such a team! It must be a dream! The allocation of resources should be fair. If these talents are all gathered together, then other The team has nothing to play with. Ah! This is like Evergrande bought out all the core players of other teams a few years ago when it was promoted to the Chinese Super League. How can other teams play with them? No need to play ah!"

After all, the two coaches immediately laughed, and they were not serious as head coaches at all.

Listening to Cao Chen's "daydream" of such a lineup, I saw Coach Lu Jiang also asked in doubt: "By the way, why does Coach Cao think that Lin Yaocong from South Lake No. Fame, is it stronger?? How to put it, that is also the 'No. [-] talent striker in Guangfu'?"

Regarding Coach Lu Jiang's words, Cao Chen smiled and shook his head.

"Although Lin Liangzhi is well-known, he is a rebellious wild horse, and it is not so easy to control it..."

Seeing Cao Chen also shrugged helplessly: "Such a locker room bomb, to be honest, no matter how strong I am, I wouldn't dare to take it. Besides, Coach Lu, you don't know, originally, 'Cheetah' He and 'Black Bear' are a pair of wing partners on the left and right. Just think about it, if Ziyang is at the forefront, and then there are two left and right wingers, Gao Yi on the left and Lin Yaocong on the right. It's picturesque..."

Speaking of this, Cao Chen immediately looked forward to it, and said with emotion: "Tsk tsk!!! Seriously, such a striker trident, going to the national finals, might really be able to beat 'Li Huitang'. Cup' brought back to Nanhu! Such a lineup, indeed, is great!!!”

"Since Coach Cao, you think it's great, why don't you try to operate it???"

I saw Coach Lu from Baili Memorial Middle School explaining with a smile: "Actually, as far as I know, since the national finals are held in the summer vacation, due to the recruitment work of each school and various transfers Now, the list of 23 people for the national finals needs to be reported again. Hey! Just like three years ago, after the Guangfu High School of the Southern Academy of Sciences entered the national finals, they directly selected the Nanhu High School of the Southern Academy of Sciences and the High School of the Southern Science Academy of Sciences. All the players from Yuanhehai High School were summoned to Guangfu, and then a new 23-man roster was selected from the players from these three schools, and then they were trained and sent to Liaolian for the national finals.”

Listening to Coach Lu Jiang's explanation, Cao Chen was also stunned.

I saw Cao Chen tentatively asking: "Can it still be like this??? Isn't the competition committee worried that other teams will poach the core of other teams, and then one family will dominate???"

"Haha, Coach Cao doesn't know something..."

Coach Lu Jiang explained with a chuckle: "Actually, the competition committees of every provincial competition area hope that the team from their competition area can win the championship, so as to win more operating funds. Therefore, I can't wait to save money. The championship team in the first-level division can use more ways to improve their strength, so that they can go further in the national finals. Naturally, there will be various green lights in the registration work..."

After all, Coach Lu Jiang still looked around, and after making sure that there were no passers-by A, B, C, D, he leaned into Cao Chen's ear and whispered: "As far as I know, the competition committee will give the championship team of the provincial competition area a prize. A special case of 2 registration places! That is to say, the provincial champion can poach two core players from other teams to participate in the national finals and compete for the final winner!"

"Uh……"

Cao Chen asked suspiciously: "Didn't you just say that the Guangfu High School of the Southern Academy of Sciences gathered all the players from the other two schools and re-selected them?"

"It's different..."

Coach Lu Jiang shook his head like a rattle: "Regardless of Guangfu Affiliated High School, Nanhu Affiliated High School, and Hehai Affiliated High School, these three schools belong to the ranks of the Affiliated High School of Southern Institute of Science and Technology. In the end, it is better to say that these are three schools These are the three branch campuses of the High School Affiliated to the South Academy of Sciences, so they can say that they took advantage of the loopholes in the rules, and a school like ours only has the unspoken rule of two special places."

After all, Coach Lu Jiang said with a smirk on his face: "So! If your team can reach the national finals, then you have to make good use of the 'hidden rules' of these two special places. If Lin Yaocong from Nanhu No. [-] Middle School is also recruited, you can form a satisfactory team."

"Then you have to lend Zhou Shuquan to us, Coach Lu!!!"

"Don't worry about this!!!" Coach Lu Jiang patted his chest very boldly and said: "Coach Cao, you helped us in the fourth round. I don't know how to behave. I promise you here! As long as Nanhu No. [-] Middle School can After reaching the national finals, I will definitely lend Shuquan to your team..."

After all, Coach Lu Jiang didn't forget to add: "Of course! It's only limited to the national finals! After the game, you have to return me... Bai Li can rely on Shuquan to lead the team alone .”

"Ha ha……"

Cao Chen burst out laughing and said, "Then we must be able to make it to the national finals."

Just as Cao Chen finished speaking, Coach Lu Jiang's cell phone rang beside him suddenly.

Coach Lu Jiang didn't dare to neglect, and quickly answered the phone.

"Hey! How's the situation over there?!"

"Good! Good! Good! Got it! That's right! Yes, yes! I was chatting with Coach Cao from Nanhu No. [-] Middle School... Well, I will pass it on to him. Okay, let's do this first, bye .”

After quickly ending the call, Coach Lu Jiang told Cao Chendao with a happy face: "The starting list for the match between Nanning No. [-] Middle School and Guilin Middle School is out!!!"

Cao Chen was also surprised and asked, "Oh??? How is it???"

"It turned out as I expected..."

Coach Lu Jiang responded with a smile: "When Nanning No. 5 Middle School was training on the field yesterday, they were indeed training for the knockout round. After the starting list came out, their main core Yao Huihuang and Li Yiming, including several of them The main players in the midfield and backcourt are all sitting on the bench. The starting lineup is similar to that of No. 30 Middle School. I just asked the assistant to check it. There are [-] players in Nanning No. [-] Middle School who played less than [-] minutes! So, I, Lu Jiang, really didn't lie to you, Coach Cao."

"Sorry……"

Cao Chen also nodded apologetically and said, "I misunderstood you, Coach Lu."

"Haha, it's okay! You are willing to help us like this, what is this little misunderstanding???"

After all, Coach Lu Jiang also stood up and gestured with a smile: "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's go back and prepare for the next game!"

"Okay, then let me first wish Baili Memorial Middle School a safe three-pointer later."

"Thank you."

After a few more polite words to each other, the two coaches separated and returned to their respective halfs to continue preparing for the game.

Look! The two games in Group A are related to the last ticket to qualify for the group stage, and they will also have a tacit understanding with each other.

I don't know, will there be a dramatic "failed understanding"?

Let's continue to pay attention! o(∩_∩)o
