Fox in the Penalty Area

Zhang Qinghuan had just returned to the luxurious apartment he was renting when he received a congratulatory call from his agent Xu Tianning: "Qinghuan, I saw in the news that he was included in the list of 18 people?"

"Yes, Brother Xu. I'm still a little surprised..." Zhang Qinghuan said.

"Hey, what's the accident! I told you a long time ago, he's a super genius! It's just a drizzle to hit the top of the class with his ability! Just kick it, it's okay! See if I'm right? When Qin Lin was injured , I told him that I will definitely play again. Zhao Kangming still wants to hide in the snow, his brain is flooded! But now he can’t hide it? Ha! Don’t worry, it’s okay. Wherever you go, you will definitely have a place!" Xu Tianning, the agent on the other end of the phone, praised Zhang Qinghuan one after another.

"It's just the list of 18 people. It's not certain that they will be able to appear on the stage. Brother Xu..."

"Stupid? I've already been selected into the 18-man squad. What else could be the reason? The midfielder of Shining Star is gone. Can they play well?! Let me tell you, they will definitely be able to play in the game the day after tomorrow! Just right, I am helping to find a new home. If you perform well on the field, Brother Xu, I am confident that he will return to the Chinese Super League next season! We are not staying in the third-rate team of the Flash Stars in the Chinese Premier League! Don’t go back to Tenglong, what are you doing when you go back? Yeah? Let's go to a team that really values ​​and respects!"

Zhang Qinghuan hung up the phone, and the bold words of manager Xu Tianning seemed to be still echoing in his ears.

He didn't know if what the agent said was true, because he found that Brother Xu liked to brag too much, and some things were obviously impossible, so he had to pat his chest to assure himself that he would definitely be able to do it.

It's not something that happens once or twice.

But he still hoped that brother Xu didn't brag this time.

He played a good game, and then went to a Chinese Super League team. He didn't want to be bad in a first-tier team... When the Dragon Club agreed to the lease-to-buy clause of Flash Star, he had strongly opposed it. But the club warned him at the time that if he didn't go to the Flash Star, then he would not get a chance to play until the contract expired.

At that time, he still had a three-year contract with the Tamron Club.

Not playing football for three years is no different from abolishing him...

Only then, under the persuasion of his manager Brother Xu, did he agree to the conditions of coming to Shanxing.

But he never thought of staying here. For him, the Chinese Premier League team is a quagmire. Once he gets stuck, he will never want to return to the Chinese Super League...

The phone rang again, awakening Zhang Qinghuan from his memories.

See the name of the caller,

Zhang Qinghuan froze for a moment before answering the phone: "Mom?"

"Are you going to play, Huanhuan?" A joyful and expectant voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

"I don't know yet, Mom. It's just a roster of 18 people, it doesn't mean you can play in the game..." Zhang Qinghuan repeated what he told his agent Xu Tianning.

"Oh. That should be able to appear on the stage, right?" The mother was very obsessed with whether her son could appear on the stage, and continued to ask.

"It should be possible..." Zhang Qinghuan said somewhat ambiguously.

"That's great, I'll watch the live broadcast..." The mother on the other end of the phone laughed.

"Mom, the Chinese Premier League doesn't broadcast live to China, so tomorrow's game won't be watched at home."

"Is there such a rule?" Mom was stunned.

"Yes, this is the Chinese Premier League, not the Chinese Super League, mom."

"Oh, it's the Chinese Premier League, not the Chinese Super League..." Mom murmured and repeated.

It is the Chinese Premier League, not the Chinese Super League.

Zhang Qinghuan suddenly got a little irritable, and ended the call roughly: "Mom, don't tell me, I have to pack my things, and I will live in the base directly tomorrow."

After putting down the phone, Zhang Qinghuan really went to pack her luggage.

But when he took out the clothes he wanted to bring from the closet, he was stunned again - he hadn't played with the team for too long, and he forgot where he put the suitcase...

Everything that was once taken for granted seemed strange.

But I will eventually return to where I belong!

Zhang Qinghuan thought of what his manager Brother Xu said, and murmured to himself.

※※※

I will return to where I belong after all!

Zhang Qinghuan stood on the sidelines of the football field, repeating this sentence in his heart.

As if to cheer yourself up.

At this moment, in the stands of the Provincial Sports Center, fans of Shining Star are constantly shouting slogans and cheering for the team.

On the big screen in the stadium, the current real-time score was played - 0:0.

In the first half of the game, neither the home team Anton Shining Star nor the visiting team Wuzhou Dongshan scored a goal to break the deadlock.

Wuzhou Dongshan is currently ranked seventeenth, second to last. This ranking can somewhat explain their strength. But they also played very tenaciously in the away game, fighting for relegation.

Without Qin Lin, the flash star midfielder lacks creativity, and it is difficult to create any opportunities for the striker.

Even if Hu Lai and Murphy ran to the open space in the frontcourt and could not receive the pass from their teammates, it would not help.

Therefore, facing Wuzhou Dongshan, who is not as strong as himself and is still playing away, it is difficult for Shanxing to open the situation for a while.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Kangming finally made up his mind to send Zhang Qinghuan on the field.

During the intermission, he made substitution adjustments, and even called Zhang Qinghuan from the bench to the locker room, and listened to him arrange tasks.

Now the second half has just started and he is going to play.

He was given a full forty-five minutes.

"Zhao Kangming actually replaced Zhang Qinghuan... This face is long-lost for all of us..."

"It's been a long time. I remember that the last time he played for Shining Star was in the fourteenth round of the league. At that time, Shining Star was playing Meiling Ranger away."

"Yes, Zhang Qinghuan still started that game, but his performance was not good, and he was replaced after only 60 minutes of playing. Now that he is playing again, I don't know what Guanlin thinks about this?"

"Only in theory, this substitution adjustment is correct. But if it is combined with the player's own situation, it is hard to say..." Lu Guanlin, a guest commentator of Anton Satellite TV, analyzed. "After all, we all know Zhang Qinghuan very well, right? Of course, Zhao Kangming's replacement is obviously a helpless move, because apart from Zhang Qinghuan, he can't think of a better candidate... After Qin Lin was injured, Shan Xing Zhang Qinghuan does have this ability. However, he has been absent from the battle for a long time, and no one knows what he will be able to play as a substitute..."

"Understood, it's about Zhang Qinghuan, now there is no way to analyze and judge from football?" The commentator asked.

"Indeed it is……"

※※※

Because it was a midfield substitution, Zhang Qinghuan didn't have to wait for his teammates to come down and hand over to him. After the fourth official raised his sign, he could go on the field directly.

Shi Junde, who was replaced by him, was already sitting on the bench. Looking at the background of Zhang Qinghuan running into the field, he snorted: "Director Zhao is really a dead horse! Even Zhang Qinghuan can play..."

On the one hand, he was dissatisfied because he was replaced early, and on the other hand, he was naturally unhappy with Zhang Qinghuan himself.

He is a big mouth himself, when Lin Ge transferred, he was the only one who dared to compare blindly in the locker room. So it's not surprising that other people on the bench heard his complaints.

Someone came up to chat with him in a low voice: "Hey, I heard that this should be Director Zhao's last chance for Zhang Qinghuan. If he still can't show a good performance, he probably won't do it again by the end of this season." There is a chance to play. And the club will definitely not buy him out again..."

"You shouldn't have bought out that kid!" Shi Junde's voice was a little louder, and the assistant coach Chen Mo on the bench next to him immediately cast his eyes on him.

He immediately shut up.

The teammate who was chatting with him immediately sat upright, looked up, and watched the game on the field.

※※※

Zhang Qinghuan ran to his position - the front midfielder. Next to him was Wuzhou Dongshan's midfielder, Yuan Yue, who was wearing the No. 8 jersey.

After seeing Zhang Qinghuan standing beside him, he spat in disgust, and the phlegm just spit at Zhang Qinghuan's feet.

Zhang Qinghuan noticed the other party's move, and he raised his head and cast a glance at the other party.

"What are you looking at?" Yuan Yue puffed up his eyes, "The detention center is the place to stay!"

Even though Zhang Qinghuan knew that the other party was fighting a psychological battle with him and disturbing him in this way, the fire in his heart was still almost out of control, and it burst into flames.

If it weren't for the referee's whistle at this time to signal the game to continue, he might have stepped up.

He took a deep look at the other party, turned and ran away.

Behind him, the back of Wuzhou Dongshan spat again: "You're pretending to be a mom!"
