The leisurely life of the rich start

"For the second round, we only need to rent two courts. The saved rent and personnel costs will be allocated to each team's 'participation award'."

"Well, I see." Kong Sheng said, "There is one more thing, have all the participating teams confirmed it? Didn't you invite players from sports schools and low-level leagues to play?"

"Mr. Kong, don't worry, there will never be any!" The staff said, "We have a general understanding of the situation of the participating teams. Most of them are from the previous competition. The few extra teams are mostly college students. our team."

"Also, our prize money for the championship and runner-up has not been set high, in order to prevent some people from looking for a 'gun' to play the game."

"Very good, I'm relieved now, thank you for your hard work!" Kong Sheng nodded and said to Zhang Jun and Ding Weijun,

"Two dudes, we're going to have a big fight this time!"

"Old Kong, don't worry!" Zhang Jun said, "I've been training lately!"

"That's right, I went to the gym to exercise." Ding Weijun also said, "I see, those young people may not be as good as us in terms of physical strength."

"Okay, then let's aim at the top four and keep the top four for the championship!"

Looking at the three people full of confidence, Zhang Da suddenly panicked.

During the last training session, it was obvious that they were "holding back".

Chapter 173 The Family and Wife Are Watching

"What? Are you going to Jinling on Saturday?"

"How could it not be welcome? It's my dad's birthday on Saturday, and then he will play football on Saturday afternoon."

"Huh? You came to see me play?"

"Okay, then I'll ask Master Zhou to pick you up at the airport. Do you want to have dinner with my family at night?"

"Don't be shy..."

"Okay, then I'll eat faster and come to you after eating."

"You come here alone, right? I'll book a hotel for you."

On an unremarkable Wednesday, Zhang Da received a call from Cheng Mingming.

Migrant worker Xiao Cheng took annual leave and planned to come to Jinling for vacation.

After finishing the call, Zhang Da booked an executive suite for a week at the newly opened Jumeirah Hotel in Jinling.

...

"Dad, happy birthday!"

On the morning of March 3, a family of three sat around the dinner table and ate noodles.

Zhang Jun's black Ferrari has also been parked in the underground garage.

"Son, you have to perform well in today's game!" Zhang Jun urged after finishing a big bowl of Changshou noodles, "Your uncle and aunt will all come to watch the game. It's going to lose, how embarrassing it is."

"Whether I can be happy on my birthday today depends entirely on whether I can win the game!"

Zhang Da said seriously: "Dad, don't worry, this is no longer a ball game, but a war!"

Just kidding, this is Cheng Mingming's first time watching him play football.

If you lose, just "retire" on the spot.

"Son, well said!" Zhang Jun applauded, "When we get to the stadium, we must implement this idea to every player."

"Dad, there is something I don't know if I should say it or not."

Zhang Jun shook his head and said, "Then don't talk about it."

Zhang Da: "..."

In the end, he could only complain silently in his heart:

Zhang Jun's previous words somehow reminded him of some "foot-harmonious" officials.

At this time, Zhou Geng walked into the door: "Boss, good morning!"

Zhang Da got up and invited: "Morning, Master Zhou, sit down and eat a bowl of noodles, my dad celebrates his birthday."

Zhang Jun also stood up and said, "Yes, Lao Zhou, let's have some food together!"

Zhou Geng smiled honestly: "Thank you."

Although he had eaten breakfast, he still worked hard to finish a bowl of noodles.

Zhang Jun quietly asked Zhang Da: "Aren't you driving by yourself today?"

Zhang Da explained: "No, I have a friend who came here today, and I can't leave, so I can only ask Master Zhou to pick it up."

Zhang Jun nodded.

After arriving at the stadium in the afternoon, Zhang Jun and Kong Sheng performed a simple morale boost in the locker room.

"Everyone, the family and wives are all watching from the stands. We can't afford to lose this game."

"That's right! If I miss the first round, I, Kong Sheng, will quit Jinling football!"

"it is good!"

Ding Ran, who was wearing the new pair of sneakers, took the lead in responding, and the locker room soon burst into applause.

Coincidentally, in another locker room on the court.

Zhang Da's opponents are also encouraging before the game.

This is a team of office workers.

The captain is a middle-aged man called Lao Han.

In the locker room, Old Han said:

"Friends, today's game, you must keep your movements in check, and don't make dangerous moves."

"You don't know, I happened to see our opponent when I came."

"Hey, all luxury cars, such as Rolls-Royce, Lambo, Ferrari, and the last one is a Porsche 911."

"If you accidentally hurt someone with a shovel, it may be very troublesome."

"Don't worry, Lao Han, everyone plays football very cleanly." Someone responded immediately, "Unless the opponent gets dirty first, otherwise we won't."

"Okay, I just want to remind everyone again." Lao Han said, "Also, we must do our best to win today!"

"Brothers, think about it, usually when we participate in the company's sports meeting, we can only be 'actors' and deliberately let the boss win."

"Today, we have a rare opportunity to compete fairly with a group of big bosses, and we must play with style!"

Teammates responded one after another.

"Definitely!"

"That's right, what Lao Han said is right! This is called being willing to be fat and dare to pull the emperor off his horse!"

One of the young people said: "Come on, these big bosses are usually pampered, and their physical condition is definitely not as good as ours!"

'It's not necessarily true. We work in an office every day, but others have time to exercise every day...'

The other person wanted to refute him, but seeing the high morale of everyone, he decided not to pour cold water on it.

In the end, someone even shouted: "Princes and generals, I would rather have a kind!"

Old Han had to persuade: "Brother, calm down, calm down."

When Zhang Da stepped onto the court, his eyes drifted to the stands for the first time.

The first thing he saw was Yang Jinping and the relatives sitting around her.

Looking to the higher stands, he finally caught Cheng Mingming who was sitting behind Yang Jinping and the others.

Zhang Da smiled and waved towards the stands.

With a camera hanging around his neck, Cheng Mingming, who was wearing a Liverpool fan jacket, also saw Zhang Da.

She stood up and waved to Zhang Da.

Sitting next to Yang Jinping, Shao Yu pointed to the venue and said, "Auntie, look, my cousin is waving at us."

"is it?"

Yang Jinping looked at the situation in the arena and waved to Zhang Da.

Zhang Da smiled awkwardly, and waved more vigorously towards the stands.

As the captain and "birthday star", Zhang Jun won the kick-off in the coin toss on behalf of the team.

Jia Xiaowei, who relied on his own strength to squeeze out Kong Sheng's friend as the starter, stood in the middle circle.

Zhang Da returned all his attention to the court.

With the whistle of the referee, the game that cannot be lost begins.

Jia Xiaowei kicked the ball to Kong Sheng in the midfield and ran forward by himself.

Without hesitation, Kong Sheng passed the ball to Chen Bing, who also won a central defender position by virtue of his strength.

At this time, the president of ICBC gave full play to his ability to coordinate the overall situation, and sent the ball to Zhang Da with a big foot.

Zhang Da unloaded the ball steadily. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Zhang Jun who was raising his hand demanding, and passed the ball decisively.

Zhang Jun dribbled left and right twice, seeing that Zhang Da was sprinting forward, he kicked the ball directly in front of Zhang Da.

It's a pity that the strength is a little stronger.

Zhang Da, who was running at a constant speed, had to run forward with all his strength.

Before the football went out of bounds, he flew and passed the ball into the opponent's penalty area.

It's a pity that the forward who grabbed the point was held up by the opponent, and the opponent's defender could not make a clearance.

Still, his performance sparked sporadic cheers from the stands.

"Wow!"

Cheng Mingming looked at Zhang Da who was flying to save the ball, and instantly felt that his boyfriend had become a lot more handsome.

"Oh, what a pity."

After Shao Yu sighed, he was attracted by the exclamation behind him.

He looked at Cheng Mingming, who was standing in the stands, holding a camera.

She suddenly felt that this person was a bit like Zhang Da's girlfriend she saw on Yang Minjun's phone.

On the court, Zhang Da is trying to run towards his penalty area.

The midfield defense formed by Zhang Jun and Kong Sheng was broken through by the opponent in an instant.

Chapter 174

Fortunately, the ball missed.

Chen Bing blocked the opponent's through ball like defending a depositor's money bag, and a big foot kept the football away from the danger zone.

His clearance ball just landed in front of Zhang Da.

Zhang Da quickly blocked the opposing player with his body and touched the football first.

After taking the ball to his own half and running two steps, Zhang Da crossed the ball to Kong Tianyin on the right.

After Kong Tianyin received the ball, he ignored Kong Sheng who was shouting from behind, and rushed forward with the ball.

After passing an opponent's player with speed, he continued to dribble the ball to the baseline.

The opponent's full-back quickly stepped forward to defend, and a situation of two central defenders against two forwards was formed in the penalty area.

Jia Xiaowei held a defender on his shoulders, and stretched out his hand to signal for Kong Tianyin to make a cross.

Kong Tianyin who was running didn't see Jia Xiaowei.

But at this time, he had no choice but to cross.

Unfortunately, the ball was blocked by the defender from the bottom line.
