Fox in the Penalty Area

"Qu Chu fast pass!"

On the football field of Nanshan University, there are two teams playing an eleven-a-side football match. A team wearing blue jerseys attacked the goal of the team wearing white jerseys.

Along with this shout, Chu Yifan, wearing a blue jersey number ten, sent a straight plug.

Just after the football kicked, a blue figure was suddenly killed in the white team's back line.

The defensive player of the white team followed the football and turned his eyes, only to see that the blue team player had appeared behind them.

Someone raised his arm conditionedly and shouted, "Offside!"

But the blue team player didn't even listen to him. After receiving Chu Yifan's pass, he drove the ball into the penalty area and then faced the attacking white team goalkeeper. His left shoulder sank and his right foot pushed the football far away angle.

The football crossed over the opponent's goalkeeper and easily entered the goal.

"Don't shout, Lao Guo. Hu Lai is not offside. Ha!" Chu Yifan smiled and said to the opponent who raised his hand and called offside. After listening to this tone, the two were already very familiar.

"Fuck! The two departments are only playing games. You still need foreign aid. If you ask foreign aid, please invite foreign aid. You also invite the Poseidon youth team..." The person who was called "Lao Guo" pointed at Chu Yifan and scolded.

Chu Yifan smiled: "Don't tell me that your No. 30 is not from the South China Tigers."

Lao Guo's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"Everyone is called foreign aid, so the eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother. Besides, you call foreign aid to win us, but we don't call foreign aid..."

"Damn, this is the most shameless thing I've ever heard. What do you call foreign aid not to win?" Lao Guo said angrily.

"Of course, to help Hu Lai maintain the state of the game." Chu Yifan smiled and said goodbye to each other, and then ran to Hu Lai to celebrate the goal.

"...We called foreign aid because we were temporarily short of people!" Lao Guoqi shouted behind Chu Yifan, but Chu Yifan had ignored him.

Chu Yifan hugged Hu Lei, who had grown a little, and patted his chest happily: "Hu Lai shot beautifully!"

Hu Lai said quickly: "It's the Chu team that you just passed that well. You don't go to the college team at this level, it's a pity to play the college league..."

Chu Yifan shook his head: "Don't you say that? My body is playing a game of this intensity. I really play the college league. The old injuries recur, and I can't even play this kind of game."

"I know, Chu team, but I still feel sorry for you."

"Don't worry about me, it's you. Zhao's resignation, what do you do with the Poseidon youth team? Don't tell me that it has no effect, if it doesn't affect you, you can be excluded from the competition for three consecutive weeks. Outside the list?"

Facing Chu Yifan's question, Hu Lai did not answer.

Upon seeing this, Chu Yifan knew that he could not ask anything, so he patted his shoulder and said nothing.

"That 14th is really amazing! Is this the fifth goal in the game? When did the Chemical Institute have such a powerful person?"

In the stands of the college stadium, two girls gathered together, one of whom was clearly interested in Hu Lai.

They have been paying attention to their boys, and havetened together to solve problems for them: "Don't you know Hu Lai?"

"Hu Lai?" The two girls looked at him questioningly.

"Yeah, this is the number 14. He is not a student of the Chinese Academy of Chemistry... They are the champions, best shooters and best players of the National High School Football Championship last year. Now they are our youth team from the Poseidon Club in Lingnan, Professional club echelon players are certainly great!"

"Wow, professional player?!" The girl's eyes were shining when she heard the other party's explanation.

"Uh, it's not..." The boy was a little embarrassed. "He should have just signed a youth contract with Poseidon Club now. Of course, he has the opportunity to become a professional player in the future..."

"Since it's a professional club player, why come to play in our college?" The girl is still very strange, she frowned at Hu Lai on the court.

The blue team, the teammates of the chemistry academy football team, have gathered up and surrounded him in the center, celebrating the goal.

"This... I don't know." The boy shook his head. He also wanted to help the beauty, but he really didn't know...

"Hu Lai, thanks to you, you will wait for us in a while, we will go to the dormitory to change clothes, please have dinner!"

After the game, Chu Yifan said to Hu Lai who was packing up.

His roommates immediately echoed: "Yeah, yeah, we must stay and eat!"

But Hu Lai shook his head and refused their good intentions: "No, Chu team, I have to go back. It takes nearly two hours to take the subway from here. I should go back early."

"Don't spend too much time eating a meal..." the roommates persuaded.

"Really stop eating, next time, let you treat you next time!" Hu Lai shook his head with a smile, and then carried a backpack, ready to go.

Everyone looked at Chu Yifan, hoping that Chu Yifan, the old captain of Hu Lai, would be able to speak and might persuade Hu Lai to stay and eat before leaving.

But Chu Yifan nodded: "Okay, then next time."

With a smile on her face, Hu Lai waved to everyone: "Goodbye, next time."

"Da Chu, why don't you persuade him to eat a meal and go again? I said you wouldn't be reluctant to treat you?" Roommates complained as they looked at Hu Lai's back.

"What's the matter, can I still lack the money for a meal? Didn't you see that Hu Lai is in a low mood today?"

The roommates carefully recalled Hu Lai's performance today and found that it was indeed different from usual.

"It's as if the mind is heavy..."

"Isn't it better to invite him to dinner and care about him? Is there anything annoying? Wouldn't it be nice to tell us?"

Chu Yifan shook his head: "I think Hu Lai should be quiet at this time. Based on my understanding of Hu Lai, if he really wants to tell us, then he will take the initiative to speak, but if he doesn't say , That is, do not want others to know."

"Ah, what other things can I do? Isn't Zhao Kangming's future uncertain in the youth team after he resigned and left?" Some roommate sighed. "When Zhao Kangming was there, Hu Lai was like the son of Zhao Kangming. As a result, as soon as Zhao Kangming resigned, Hu Lai couldn't even play in the youth team. The Poseidon Club vowed to Hu Lai Reasonable professional football planning, the result is so planned? The person in charge patted the **** and ran away, throwing Hu Lai here. This is to trick people into killing..."

"Can't say that, old Li. Zhao Kangming is also a victim of the club's high-level struggle." Another roommate persuaded. "He is definitely not willing to leave Hu Lai. How good is his relationship with Hu Lai... Saying "sympathy to father and son" is not a problem. But the idea of ​​not being able to hold the club's top management is changing!"

"That is, in the past few years, South China Tiger, a rival in the same city, used gold dollar football to gather a lot of stars, won three league championships, and won an AFC championship... Lingnan has a Chinese Super League team called the South China Tigers, but Poseidon, which was established earlier than the South China Tigers, has not improved its results so far. It is normal for the club's top executives to change things..."

"Yes. Poseidon is very concerned about youth training, and these years have not given us less training talent for Lingnan football, but with youth training and a small amount of input, it is really difficult to fight those wealthy local tyrants. Looking at South China Tiger The champion has a soft hand, it is impossible to say that Poseidon has no idea at all?"

"That being said, if you want to spend money to bring in stars, then what are you doing with youth training? You must force Zhao Kangming, who has served the team's youth training for eleven years, to resign..."

"Poseidon is so kind of money, if you want to spend more money to buy stars, do you have to reduce the investment in youth training? Zhao Kangming also resigned because of dissatisfaction."

"Eh, I want to say, the grandson is the youth training supervisor who succeeded Zhao as the director. What was the former elite team coach of Transit Football School? I thought it was high. As a result, Hu Lai I won’t be able to play. I suspect he was deliberately suppressing Hu Lai, in order to eliminate Zhao’s influence in the Poseidon youth training system...”

"Every day the emperor and the imperial court, normal operation. How can we not dissipate our own position?"

※※※

"Modern football's requirements for center are getting higher and more comprehensive. What's the use of shooting? What kind of center do you have? It doesn't meet the requirements and definitions of modern football... I'll be honest, I'm not saying You have no future in Poseidon, I mean you have no future even if you go to other teams. Sorry, I speak more straightly, but I’m doing it for you. Instead of wasting everyone’s time like this, it’s better to find another way... …"

This is what the new youth training supervisor Sun He said to Hu Lai at the training ground after yesterday's training.

When he said this, in front of all the youth team players and coaches, everyone heard what he said and turned their eyes to Hu Lai.

Hu Lai didn't even want to fight this youth training supervisor who had just missed the previous month. He would say this in front of so many people.

Until now, the day has passed, as long as Hu Lai is willing to recall, he will easily recite the full text of Sun He's remarks, he remembers the tone and expression clearly.

After all my hardships, I came from the school team to the professional football club echelon. I ran away from home for this reason, and received more rigorous training than others in the Poseidon Youth Team, and paid more effort than other young teammates. , Finally got such a comment?

This youth training supervisor came from Transit Football School... When he first heard the news, he still had a glimmer of hope for his prospects in the youth training camp of Poseidon Club. After all, coach Li Ziqiang also came from Transit Football School. A youth training supervisor and coach Li Ziqiang come from the same football school, and that level is certainly not far behind.

The uneasiness caused by Zhao's sudden departure has also stabilized.

Anyone thought that the other party gave him such a head start!

People have said this point, they still fantasize about being able to stand out in the Poseidon Club, isn't that stupid?

But he still has a four-year youth team contract with Poseidon Club. Even if he wants to go, where can he go?

For the first time, Hu Lai was puzzled by his future.

He also finally realized the cruelty and uncertainty of professional football that Li Ziqiang had told him.

At the beginning of the plane from Andong Jincheng to Lingnan City, he imagined many unfavorable situations. For example, the teammates of the youth team did not like themselves. For example, they were dissatisfied with the soil and water of Lingnan. For example, their football style was not suitable. Poseidon's football philosophy... He even thought about whether he would encounter something like his dad, so he should be vigilant and beware of some seemingly dangerous actions in training. Of course, the most important thing is to have a good relationship with your teammates, so that others don’t take themselves as a threat, they will grow arrogantly, don’t wave...

But he never imagined that he hadn't encountered any of these things, but he would be affected by the dispute over the club's top line.

Now that he is favored and taken care of by Zhao’s guidance, it is natural to bear the cruel clean-up of the new youth training supervisor’s line of Zhao’s enlightenment. How much Zhao’s preference for him was. How deep...

In this regard, his youth team coach Chen Mo is a lesson to learn. At the beginning, Zhao Zhao just resigned. Two days later, the new supervisor Sun Hesun came to the air. Only one day later, coach Chen Mo resigned.

Why quit? Because Coach Chen Mo is a competent cadre of Zhao Guidao, and he is the most trusted youth training coach of Zhao Guidao. He has cooperated with Zhao Guidian for many years, and the label of "Zhao Kangming's lineage" has been stuck on his head. If he is not under pressure from the new supervisor, can he quit his job and leave the Poseidon Club where he worked for nearly ten years?

Hu Lai wanted to curse the **** "MMP" in his hometown-he just wanted to be trained in the Poseidon youth team and become a professional player...

When he first joined the Poseidon Club, he received a task issued by the system. The task required him to sign a professional player contract. After successful completion of the task, he would be rewarded with a [medullary washing agent], and 50,000 points, as well as the system. Will be upgraded once.

These rewards are full of temptations for Hu Lai, but until now this task has been quietly lying on the task list, there is no sign of completion...

The voice of the dialect station sounded in the subway car, and then Hu Lai recovered, and an arrow struck down the car.

Then follow the crowd of people standing on the escalator and slowly climb up.

After leaving the station, there is a square open space in front of the mall. He needs to cross this square, then cross the wide Binjiang Road through a pedestrian bridge, go to the station across the road and take the bus back to the youth training base in the suburbs.

It is now evening and Saturday again, and the square in front of the mall is full of people.

Like him, there are people who come out of the subway station to change trains, some are specially for shopping malls, and some residents who live nearby walk for a walk.

At the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, tourists are like weavers.

The landscape trees in the center of the square are covered with light strips, and each small light bulb emits orange light, bringing some warmth to the coming night.

A street artist stands in front of the landscape tree and is shouting to people coming and going: "Don't miss it when you pass by! Feel the power of music! You can get a song sung for you for only fifteen yuan !Straight into the heart and hit the soul!"

Hu Lai has not seen street sing, most of them are holding a guitar while playing and singing, and putting a speaker next to it. They do nothing except singing, what the singer sings, what the onlookers listen to, and give money if they feel good. .

How could there be street singers who solicit business for this? And I also sing for you, what else do I get into the soul...Isn't that too particular?

Hu Lai followed the prestige with some curiosity, only to find that the street performer not only had peculiar practices but also peculiar shapes. He is holding the guitar like other street singers, but behind his back... a set of drums!

The drumsticks were connected to his feet and the guitar head by steel wire. As he stepped on the spot and flicked the guitar head, the drumsticks beat the drum behind him rhythmically.

For the first time, Hu Lai saw a singer dressed up... This is to play a band alone!

Many people like Hu Lai were attracted by the singer's peculiar dress, words and deeds, and stopped to watch.

But no one is willing to go up and give him fifteen dollars to let him sing a song for himself.

Maybe it's because the singer is acting arrogantly and unreliably, or he is embarrassed to be the first bird in public.

In short, everyone just watched, but no one stepped forward.

The singer continued to shout hard, stomping his feet from time to time, knocking on the drum twice, attracting more people to come.

Hu Lai saw him like this, and then listened to his Mandarin without Lingnan accent, it is estimated that he is like Nan drifting like himself. Suddenly, there was a feeling of "being a stranger in a foreign country".

So he took out his mobile phone and stepped forward, scanned the QR code, and transferred 15 yuan through WeChat.

But he didn’t want the other party to sing a song for himself, and he didn’t plan to stay. He had to catch the car... So he waved his hand to the thanking singer: "You don’t need to sing anymore, I just express your support for you. ..."

I didn't expect the other party to raise his face seriously and said seriously: "That's not okay! I have to provide you with the corresponding service after receiving your money, otherwise I will be different from begging along the street? If you don't let me sing, then I Just give you the fifteen dollars!"

Seeing the other party's seriousness, Hu Lai had to say, "Well, you sing, you sing..."

He retreated into the crowd and planned to wait for the singer to sing and listen to half a song to show respect before leaving.

Seeing that someone paid for it, the onlookers also came to the spirit and stopped to watch, waiting to listen, wanting to hear what song the singer was going to sing to the young man who paid the money.

The singer tuned the string, and at the same time, he kept looking up at Hu Lai during the tuning process. He saw that he was wearing a normal sportswear and carrying a backpack, and could not see his identity. In the end, he set his eyes on Hu Lai's face. He felt that there was some sadness in the customer's eyebrows. Maybe something annoying...

Reminiscent of his non-native accent mandarin, he already had some thoughts on what song to sing.

So he plucked the strings and sang:

"Brave you, standing here, with a thin face but proud; in this distance, there is no one to accompany, only fantasy and trouble..."

Hu Lai, who hadn't taken the song that the street singer wanted to sing seriously, was stunned when she heard the first lyrics.

He originally planned to listen to the meaning of half a song and walked away, but it was like rooting under his feet. He stood there and listened to the entire song.

"...The short-lived splendors are exploding fireworks; that dazzling flame is burning you and me; that unforgettable love always hurts me; that plain water-like life is fiery because of you... "(Note 1)

The finished singer stared at Hu Lai and said to him: "Brave you, stand here, your face is thin but proud. Life is hot because of you. Come on!"

Hu Lai also recovered from the emotion brought to him by this song, and he laughed when he heard what the singer said at last.

The depressive emotions brought about by the lost future have really reduced a lot.

No matter what life is like, it's always going to be so hot...

He said very sincerely to the singer: "Thank you!"

At this time, the onlookers also recovered, and cheers, whistles, and applause broke out in the crowd.

The wonderful performance for this singer and the song selected for him actually touched the listener...

With a successful precedent, there are naturally more people interested in the singer's performance, so everyone crowded up and scrambled to scan the code, hoping that the singer could sing a straightforward song for himself.

In such a hustle and bustle, Hu Lai squeezed from the crowd and walked to the sky bridge across the square with his bag on his back.

At this time, his mood was completely different, he also had the mind to look at the sky, only to find that the western sky has sunset.

The setting sun appears and disappears in the clouds, and the clouds are covered.

While he was staying to enjoy the sunset, the phone rang: "... No one makes you give up, and no one makes you live scribbled. The thinner you are, the more you must resist, and no one can stop until the end..." (Note 2)

He picked up the phone and found out that Zhao Kangming had called Zhao.

"Ouch, Director Zhao, you can call me..."

"Hah, Hu Lai, I'm sorry... Hey, listening to you being so yin and yang, how do you feel you are in a good mood?" Zhao Kangming, who was speaking over the phone, was really guided by Zhao Kangming.

"Because I'm watching sunset, the sunset in Lingnan is very beautiful today, Zhao instructs." Hu Lai held the phone and looked to the western sky.

"Look at sunset? You still have the mood to watch sunset... Then I'm relieved. When I walked too suddenly, I felt sorry for you, so I never dared to call you, afraid you would scold me..."

"Look what you said, Director Zhao, where would I dare to scold you..."

"Well, if you say that, I know you have grievances against me. It's normal to have grievances. After all, it's such a thing... It's too fucking! In addition, I heard that you haven't entered the game list for three consecutive games. Alright?"

"Yes, the new supervisor doesn't seem to like me very much."

"Oh, he regarded you as my person..." Zhao Kangming sneered at the other end of the phone, and then said: "I called you, I wanted to apologize to you, after all, I pulled you to Poseidon's, but I ran halfway... second, I want to ask you, are you interested in kicking the middle armor?"

"Middle Class A?" Hu Lai froze after listening to Zhao's remarks.

"Yeah, although UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is not a Super League, but for young players, it can actually get more opportunities. I am now the head coach of a Chinese team, I thought of you... …"

"But Zhao, the transfer has ended."

"It's okay, we can sign the agreement first, and then transfer when the transfer window opens in summer. By the way, it's not a lease. I plan to buy you directly. How? Interested? Chen Mo also came over to me As an assistant coach, I am ambitious."

"Then, Zhao, which team are you going to coach now?" Hu Lai asked.

"Ha! Do you mean what happened?" Zhao Kangming over the phone laughed, "Your hometown team, An Dong Flash!"
