Fox in the Penalty Area

"Everyone. Tomorrow, the company will postpone work for half a day. You can come back to work after watching the game between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team at home."

When Yan Yan saw this announcement in the company group, he also heard cheers from the office.

He followed his colleagues and shouted: "Long live the boss!"

Then cut to the WeChat group of the "Dongchuan Middle School Football Team Jincheng Sub-rudder" to show off: "Haha! Our company just notified that we can go to work half a day late tomorrow!"

Soon Zhong Shihao returned to him in the group: "Damn, I really envy you! Our company will let you go to work two hours late... Two hours is enough for me, it takes me more than an hour to commute on the road!"

Tang Yuan: "Be content, old Zhong, our unit doesn't offer evening shifts at all."

Zhong Shihao: "The problem is that our company is only two hours late. Do I still have to go to work? Then I can only watch the game on the subway and buses..."

Chu Yifan: "Isn't that good? Just to pass your boring commuting time to work."

Meng Xi: "What is the arrangement of the Chu team with your company? How do you watch the ball?"

Chu Yifan posted a photo of him at the airport.

Everyone was shocked: "Damn! Team Chu, you are going to the United States to watch the game live?!"

Chu Yifan: "What the hell! I'm on a business trip. I'll be watching football in the hotel tomorrow morning."

"Envy! You can enjoy this moment alone..."

"Team Chu, you didn't deliberately apply for a business trip at this time? So you can avoid the sister-in-law..."

"Team Chu, you run out to watch the football on the excuse of a business trip. Your sister-in-law won't be jealous, right?"

Chu Yifan: "Damn! You guys are enough!"

The chat group was full of enthusiasm, Yan Yan had put down the phone and started to work.

But in the office, it is obvious that most people's minds are not at work.

Their hearts have all flown to the distant Los Angeles of the United States.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon on June 25th, local time, and 8 o'clock in the morning on June 26th, Beijing time, the final round of Group B will be the start of the match between China and Brazil.

This is the first time that Chinese fans don't have to stay up late to watch a Chinese team game.

However, since this day is a Friday and not a day off, many office workers happen to be on their way to work.

In order to make it easier for everyone to watch football, some companies will announce that employees will be allowed to work for a few hours at night, or they will simply take a half day off, just like Yan Yan and his company.

However, some companies were unmoved, saying that the World Cup is a World Cup, and one minute of work should not be missed.

In the past few days, there has been a lot of noise on the Internet regarding this matter. Many people have released their company’s holiday regulations or no holiday regulations.

Almost every piece of such news will attract the attention of the media and netizens.

In general, everyone supports the company’s holiday, or allows a humanized arrangement of being a few hours late, so that everyone can watch football with peace of mind.

After all, this game is the last game of the Chinese team in the World Cup group stage, and the opponent is the world's top team like Brazil.

Surely no one wants to miss this opportunity.

There has been news on the Internet that some fans resigned directly because the company did not allow him to take time off and did not take a holiday in order to be able to watch the match between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team...

The reason for resignation is just one sentence: I want to cheer for the Chinese team!

It drew everyone crazy likes and forwards and scolded his company.

At the beginning, some companies did not allow employees to be late or take time off to watch football at home. They were put on the Internet and were unanimously condemned. After the public opinion became louder. They also had to change the company's regulations under pressure.

Some companies simply use the opportunity of crisis public relations to turn bad things into good things. They not only allow employees to take time off to watch football at home, but also temporarily install large projections in the company so that employees can watch football together in the company and cheer for the Chinese team. It won the goodwill and welcome of many netizens.

Large and small squares, parks, commercial centers, pedestrian streets in major cities...everywhere with big screens, it is decided to broadcast the game to the general public on these big screens on this day.

There are also major movie theaters, and they have launched activities one after another, opening the theaters and private rooms for free for everyone to watch the game.

Some cities even decided to open the stadium so that more fans can gather in the stadium and watch the game on the big screen of the stadium...

The Chinese people's enthusiasm for football reached its climax at this moment.

The reason why they are so enthusiastic is naturally because the Chinese team performed well in the first two group matches. Although they failed to win, they scored in both rounds and remained unbeaten.

Chinese fans, or the Chinese people, after seeing the performance of this team, are naturally willing to support such a group that is truly winning glory for the country.

In fact, the Chinese fans' thinking is very simple. Don't look at the usual online bragging, saying "I'm sorry to come back if I don't make the quarterfinals." But in fact, as long as the Chinese team can show their fighting spirit and fighting spirit, even if they lose the game, everyone will support it.

The so-called "winning also loves you, losing also loves you" is of course not a brainless support, but to let the fans see something worthy of support.

Through the first two group matches, Chinese fans have seen the shining points of the Chinese team.

Qin Qiyi walked into the gate of Jiaxiang High School and saw the classmates gathered under the school's bulletin board, crowded and very lively.

He walked over and heard someone in the crowd say loudly: "...In order to allow the majority of students to watch the game with peace of mind, to cheer for the Chinese team, and to cheer for Wang Guangwei, the senior of Jiaxiang High School, the school decided to take a half-day holiday tomorrow. Return to normal classes again..."

Before the words fell, huge cheers erupted from the surrounding crowd.

"Okay!!" Qin Qi also shouted, raising his arms.

There was a fuss in front of the bulletin board for a while, everyone gradually dispersed, and Qin Qi also followed the students to their respective teaching buildings.

Along the way, I heard that everyone was still excitedly discussing the World Cup.

In the past ten days, the "World Cup" has been the number one hot topic on the campus of Jiaxiang High School. Regardless of whether men, women, teachers or students, whether they watch football or not, they will talk about the World Cup and the Chinese team.

In the Jiaxiang High School Post Bar, there are seniors who sent you videos and photos of Wang Guangwei playing football at Jiaxiang High School. Soon I got a lot of comments and likes.

Of course, the senior who made Wang Guangwei famous deliberately avoided the story where Wang Guangwei and Hu Lai first met. After all, it hurts their image as a "king team."

I heard that in the post of Dongchuan Middle School, the seniors of Dongchuan Middle School told the students about Hu Lai's wonderful performance in the first Anton Cup final. His encounter with Wang Guangwei is naturally the focus of the story...

"Hey, what do you think the national football team can do with Brazil?"

"I'm not very demanding, as long as I can score a goal..."

"Eh, have you heard? There are rumors on the Internet that China is bidding to host the 2034 World Cup!"

"I have seen this statement too, I don’t know if it’s true or not... But I think it’s normal to want to bid for the World Cup based on our performance in this World Cup. This time there shouldn’t be anyone spraying our face on bidding. Is the World Cup?"

"Hehe, if someone dared to spray, I would kill their whole family on the Internet!"

"The 2034 World Cup... feels so far away..."

"What's far away? Think about it, after this World Cup is played, the next one is 2030, and then the next one is 2034? In fact, it's after two World Cups..."

"That will take eight years. After eight years, I still don't know where I will be..."

"It doesn't matter where he is, if the bid is really successful, I will go to watch the game wherever he is!"

"How come Jincheng should be able to get a place in a host city? I will be in Jincheng then..."

"Eh, Old Seven? Old Seven!"

The person who was discussing saw Qin Qi, hurriedly stopped him, and then went up and put his arm around his shoulder: "Lao Qi, you must be playing the World Cup in the national team by then!"

Qin Qi waved his hand quickly: "What are you talking nonsense..."

"This is not nonsense!" The classmate who hugged him said seriously: "You will definitely take a career path in the future, right?"

Qin Qi froze for a moment, then nodded and shook his head: "But that doesn't mean that I will definitely be able to participate in the World Cup... There is still a long way to go between professional players and the World Cup."

The classmate patted him hard: "Oh, don't be humble, I believe you can definitely!"

Qin Qi smiled without saying a word. Deep down in his heart, he was extremely eager to participate in the World Cup, especially after feeling the ubiquitous World Cup atmosphere in society at the moment.

When he saw Hu Lai, Zhang Qinghuan, Wang Guangwei, Xia Xiaoyu, Chen Xingyi and other stars who usually play with him in the World Cup, he couldn't help thinking-if I could also be there!

It is a pity that he is only sixteen years old, and he is still far from this goal.

If China can really successfully bid for the World Cup, he will be 24 years old in eight years. In fact, he can really look forward to it...

Of course, now he won't say it in front of his classmates if he is killed.

Dreams are the goal of one's own efforts, not to promote them everywhere.

The most important thing is-wouldn't it be embarrassing if it didn't happen?

Low-key, Qin Qi, low-key.

"Today is the last training session of this semester. You won't use it for school training tomorrow morning. You should have received the notice, right?" Li Ziqiang looked at the young players who had just finished training in front of him.

Everyone nodded: "It's all posted."

Dongchuan Middle School issued a notice today that it will be half a day off tomorrow. All students can watch football at home without coming to school in the morning, cheering for the Chinese team, and cheering for their seniors Hu Lai, Luo Kai and Xia Xiaoyu.

In order to prevent parents from not believing the decision to take a holiday, or to prevent some students from not watching the football and cheating their parents to go to class normally, and then ran out to play, the parents will find the school to be responsible for what goes wrong... A paper notice was sent and asked them to take it back to their parents, telling them that the school will be closed for half a day tomorrow, so students do not need to go to school, and it is recommended to stay at home to watch football.

This notice must also be signed and confirmed by the parents. At the same time, when returning to school in the afternoon, the students should bring back the notice signed by the parents and return it to each class teacher.

The whole set of procedures is very clear to ensure that there are no safety hazards left as far as possible.

The whole process is so proficient, of course, because Dongchuan Middle School already has mature experience in this regard-in the first two games of this World Cup, Dongchuan Middle School also made the same arrangement.

Even though the competition was midnight in the early morning, Dongchuan Middle School also gave all the students except senior third year a half-day holiday, allowing them to come back to school the next afternoon. The same is to issue paper notices to the parents of students, and let the parents sign to ensure that they know what their children are going to do.

Except for the third year of high school, because the high school students passed the college entrance examination in early June and ended their high school career. They don't use it for school at all, no one cares about what they want to do, staying up late to watch football or something. This World Cup will surely become an extremely fond memory in the lives of these senior high school graduates.

"Watch the ball tomorrow, and then prepare for the final exam." Li Ziqiang waved his hand and disbanded the team.

From tomorrow on, he doesn’t need to come to school again. He enters the summer vacation ahead of schedule. He can spend time with his daughter at home. When that time comes, he must take her to the surroundings for fun and enjoy this rare family happiness.

When walking out of the gate of Dongchuan Middle School, Li Ziqiang saw that many students, teachers and passers-by were taking pictures or taking photos with the gate of Dongchuan Middle School.

Without looking back, he knew that President Zhai must have put up the new banner again.

Not to mention, thanks to Principal Zhai’s little hobby, the small advertising companies near the school that specialize in making banners are doing much better. Banners can be hung several times in a game:

Before the game, hang "Warmly celebrate our alumni Hu Lai, Luo Kai, Xia Xiaoyu!", after the game hang "Warmly celebrate our alumni Hu Lai, Luo Kai, Xia Xiaoyu remain undefeated in the World Cup (forcing back strong enemies) !", another banner is hung below: "Warmly celebrate our alumni Hu Lai/Luo Kai's goal in the World Cup and win glory for the country!"

Just like the subtitle under the news report...

Not only the main entrance is hanging, but the side entrance is also hanging. There are hanging on the upper floor of the school. The old principal must not only let the people outside the school know how awesome Dongchuan Middle School is, but also let the people in the school know that their alma mater has it. How powerful.

Although knowing that the contents of the old principal's banners were inseparable, Li Ziqiang couldn't help but glanced back at the end, and then slightly lost his senses.

This time it was not those particularly simple and rude to show off.

"The wind starts at the end of Qingping, between dance and heaven and earth-Dongchuan students cheer for the Chinese team!"

Li Ziqiang smiled, it's really rare, our old principal is going to pull text...

He retracted his gaze, walked under the school gate, and gradually walked away, turning to the parking lot to drive.

After the wind blows from the campus, it blows people's clothes and hair, rolls up the fallen leaves on the ground, takes the sky, and dances lightly in the sunset, like golden butterflies.

PS, Spain played really badly in the early morning game, not good enough to qualify for the semi-finals. And once the lead is played, it is particularly ugly and arrogant. Always think that the overall situation is set when leading, and then start to wave. Playing Croatia is to feel that the overall situation is set to start substitutions and adjustments. As a result, Croatia scored two goals in a row. This game is also, after replacing Morata, let Switzerland equalize the score.

However, Switzerland dragged the game into a penalty shootout with one less person~www.novelmt.com~, which is worthy of admiration. It's a pity that the young players still failed to withstand the huge pressure of penalty kicks, and they were blinded by Sommer's general performance... alas!

Italy and Belgium played very well in the first half, but I couldn't stand it in the second half. Although I usually write code words in the middle of the night, it is still rare to stay up until five or six in the morning like during the European Cup. So in the end, because I was already sitting in the chair and almost falling asleep, I went to sleep without seeing what happened next...I don't know what the final result will be.

In the two games tomorrow morning, I am optimistic that Denmark will beat the Czech Republic on a penalty kick.

There is no suspense in the match between England and Ukraine. England will definitely win with two goals!

But I didn’t even think about it. I couldn’t afford it...

In the two games tomorrow morning, I am optimistic that Denmark will beat the Czech Republic on a penalty kick.
