Fox in the Penalty Area

When Zhao Kangming saw his first-team players on the training ground, he suddenly felt that there were a lot fewer people, so he asked his assistant coach Chen Mo: "Is it my illusion? I feel that many people are late today." It's..."

Chen Mo just laughed: "Why are you late? I was transferred to play the national team and the Olympic team!"

Only then did Zhao Kangming come to his senses, and he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Cough, I've never encountered such a thing, and I didn't realize it for the first time..."

"You will be very experienced in the future, Old Zhao."

Flash Star's first team does lack some people, but these people are not late, but did not come to training at all.

Because of Flash Star's outstanding performance in the league and the FA Cup this season, many of Flash Star's players have also entered the field of vision for the talent selection of the national team.

Not to mention Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei, but for Zhao Kangming's pressure, both of them might have gone to the national team.

On this international competition day, the two of them were selected by the Olympic team to participate in the three warm-up matches of the Olympic team.

In addition, Chen Xingyi also went to the Olympic team with Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei by virtue of his outstanding performance in Flash Star this season.

Zhang Qinghuan was also selected for the Chinese national team again after three years because of his performance this season.

He is also the only player in this national team from a Chinese team.

But he will not feel any pressure because of this, after all, he is an "old player" of the Chinese national team...

"Alas..." Zhao Kangming sighed, "We Shanxing will also face the situation of lack of staff during the international competition day. Who would have imagined that?"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "This shows that our work has been recognized."

"I just hope that the FIFA virus will have less impact on us." Zhao Kangming made a wish from the perspective of a club head coach.

This is a very serious question, Chen Mo couldn't laugh anymore.

It is of course a good thing to send players to a national team to play football and win glory for the country, and it can also show the club's level of talent training.

But on the other hand, you also have to bear the risk of players winning glory for the country. After all, if a player was injured in a national team match, it was the club's match that was delayed, and the club had to spend money to treat the player's injury. At the same time, his salary had to be paid while he was recuperating, so he was just supported.

Although it is said that the national team will give a certain amount of compensation, that amount of money is just better than nothing, and does not solve practical problems at all.

And after being injured, the club still has nothing to say. You can't even complain, otherwise you will be attacked by public opinion.

So this is really a dumb thing to eat coptis.

"I hope they all come back healthy and safe." That's all Chen Mo could say in the end.

"Tsk, this training camp turned out to be at Flying Fish Island in the mountains and seas, not Hongfengling in the capital." Sitting on the plane, looking through the portholes at the suburbs of mountains and seas densely covered with water nets below the plane, and the faintly visible coastline in the distance, Hu Lai complained.

"Is there anything wrong?" Chen Xingyi asked.

"I am familiar with Hongfengling. I will take you with me when the time comes. At least you know how to get to the restaurant, so you won't be hungry."

Wang Guangwei next to him couldn't hold back: "Hu Lai, don't say that Chen Xingyi is like an idiot."

Hu Lai pointed to Wang Guangwei who was sitting on the other side of the aisle, and said to Chen Xingyi in the middle, "Hey, you heard it all, it was Lao Wang who said that, I didn't say that."

Chen Xingyi ignored the two sluts, but lowered his head to study the training list, and then said to Hu Lai: "This time Luo Kai will also go."

"Just go." Hu Lai didn't care much.

"I want to settle accounts with him!" Chen Xingyi said.

"Why? Did he steal your girlfriend?" Hu Lai asked.

"Ask him why he blocked me on WeChat!"

"Hehe." Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei laughed dryly.

No one wants to talk to this bitch.

Then Chen Xingyou said: "Hey, Guan Xinyan was also selected..."

"Who is Guan Xinyan?" Hu Lai blurted out this question like a conditioned reflex.

Chen Xingyi turned to look at him: "Did you do it on purpose?"

Hu Lai was stunned for a moment, and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, really... Oh, I remembered, they have always been the main force before, isn't it normal to be selected?"

"I counted, including the two of us, Luo Kai, and Guan Xinyan...a total of seven strikers were recruited for this warm-up match. Isn't that too much?" Chen Xingyi said.

"For the warm-up match, Director Shi must inspect more players. How can we inspect more players?" Hu Lai said.

"That's what I said, but the competition is fierce enough..."

"Fierce is fierce, little Xing Xing, are you still afraid of competition?"

"I'm afraid of a hammer!" Chen Xingyi snorted. After staying in Jincheng for almost a year, he has already mastered some Jincheng dialects, of course the main ones are "Jincheng foul language".

※※※

"Xinyan, look at what I said before? Don't worry, no matter what, you must have a place in the Olympic team. Didn't Director Shi recruit you this time? What does it mean? It means that you must still be in the national team. An important member of the Austrian team's front line! Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai are all newcomers, and they can't threaten your position at all. It's that Hu Lai who is troublesome..."

In the distance ahead, two people pulled their suitcases into the Haishan Football Association training base on Flying Fish Island, which is also the training base for the Olympic team to prepare for the competition.

One of the tall ones was talking to the person next to him in a loud voice, blown by the wind.

Luo Kai, who was behind them, heard his name amidst the gossip, and he didn't pay much attention to it, so he asked Liu Jinge beside him: "Who are those two people?"

Liu Jinge looked up and said, "Oh, Xiao Xiao and Guan Xinyan. The tall one is Xiao Xiao, the substitute goalkeeper. The one next to him is Guan Xinyan..."

Speaking of this, Liu Jinge suddenly thought of a rumor, and laughed: "I heard that Guan Xinyan has a crush on Li Qingqing!"

After Luo Kai heard the key words, he took another deep look at Liu Jinge: "What else is there?"

Liu Jinge smiled happily, but didn't notice the deep meaning in Luo Kai's eyes: "Yes, why not? Isn't he and Li Qingqing both in the same club? He and Li Qingqing were chosen by the club to cooperate with the publicity campaign of football entering the campus. After that event, Guan Xinyan's fans spread a rumor that Guan Xinyan and Li Qingqing are the 'golden players' in the Shanhai football circle. Tong Yunv'...His fans scolded Hu Lai as Guan Xinyan's spare tire before going to the Olympic team, but he didn't expect Hu Lai to slap them in the face in the Olympic team, that scene was embarrassing, ha!"

Luo Kai turned his gaze to the figure next to the tall man in the distance.

Today is the day for all the players of the Olympic team to report for duty. From morning till night, players will report to the training base of the Shanhai Football Association on Feiyu Island in the northeast suburb of Shanhai.

By coincidence, we will meet each other at the sign-in office. When we meet, we will greet each other. If we have a good relationship, we will get together and chat, telling what happened from the end of the East Asian Cup to the present.

There are also some players who have already signed in and will show up at the registration office if they have nothing to do, waiting for their teammates and watching the fun by the way.

In addition to the busy staff of the Football Association and the base at the sign-in area, there are also some players from the Youth Team of the Shanhai Football Association who came to volunteer.

These teenagers are responsible for leading the way for their senior brothers, answering their questions, and running various errands.

For them, this is an opportunity to see their role models and idols. It is also quite interesting to be able to watch the big brothers of the Olympic team chatting up close. If you inquire about the gossip of the Olympic team, you will have the capital to brag when you return to the team. So most of the junior team players are willing to sacrifice their rest time to volunteer.

Now these teenagers looked at Guan Xinyan who came up with envy and admiration.

Guan Xinyan and Xiao Xiao first met the Olympic team leader Ran Jiachang, who shook hands and greeted him, and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Long time no see, Xinyan!"

The friendly attitude of the team leader made Guan Xinyan feel warm in his heart—as expected, Team Leader Ran still remembered him!

After saying hello, Ran Jiachang pointed to the sign-in desk next to them and said to the two of them, "Go sign in first."

Guan Xinyan and Xiao Xiao went to sign and at the same time greeted the teammates behind.

He saw Guo Junfu among his teammates, and happily greeted Guo Junfu: "Old Guo, where is your luggage?"

"I have already completed the formalities and put all my luggage in the room." Guo Junfu explained, but the expression on his face was not very happy. He frowned and approached Guan Xinyan, and whispered: "Xinyan, are you in the club?" What's the matter?"

The smile on Guan Xinyan's face froze for a moment, he knew that Guo Junfu was saying that his club's performance was not good.

It's really not good, Guan Xinyan admits this, but generally speaking, his performance in the second half of the season is better than the first half of the season. In the last four Chinese Super League games, he played three times, two of which were starts, and one goal, This works pretty well.

He felt that his state was gradually recovering, and his heart sank, not as impetuous as before.

Xiao Xiao was unhappy when he heard Guo Junfu say this: "What's wrong with Xinyan's performance in the club? Isn't it good? Just scored a goal..."

Guo Junfu ignored Xiao Xiao, but stared at Guan Xinyan and said in a low voice: "Let me remind you, Xinyan. Today's Olympic team is completely different from before. Have you noticed? This time Director Shi recruited seven forwards, The competition is fierce, you can't take it lightly..."

Seeing that the teammates who signed in at the front had already completed the sign-in, he pointed to the sign-in desk: "You guys report first..." Then he stepped aside.

Guan Xinyan looked back at his friend from the National Youth Team and National Olympic Team, and frowned. He really didn't expect that after seeing him for a long time, the other party came to throw cold water on him.

They signed in quickly, and were about to go to the staff next to them to get their room cards, when they heard someone talking next to them: "Liu Jinge from Lingnan Nanhai, he is..."

"Luo Kai." A strange voice sounded.

The female staff member of the training base who originally planned to assign room cards to Guan Xinyan and Xiao Xiao heard the voice and looked up, but was stunned for a moment when she saw the tall and handsome young man standing next to Guan Xinyan.

Guan Xinyan noticed the stupidity of the female staff, he turned his head and looked over.

He found that the person who called himself Luo Kai was also looking at him.

But what surprised him was that when the newcomer to the Olympic team looked at him, he felt a trace of... hostility in the eyes of the other party?

This is outrageous, I have never had contact with him before, and if I don't know him, what can I do?

How can there be hostility?

Is it my own illusion?

But Guan Xinyan also frowned after seeing this person's appearance clearly - this person seems to be more handsome than himself...

Originally, Guan Xinyan thought he was the most handsome in the Olympic team, but now he feels a strong threat.

Perhaps the hostility of the other party also comes from this: handsome guys are always hostile to other handsome guys...

The female staff's absence was only a momentary thing, and she quickly returned to normal, and she knew what her duties were.

She rummaged through a pile of room cards for a while, then handed them the room cards with the names of Xin Yan and Xiao Xiao on them, and pointed to the left at the same time: "The elevator is over there."

Guan Xinyan and Xiao Xiao took the room card, but did not leave immediately, but looked at Luo Kai and Liu Jinge.

They saw that the team leader Ran Jiachang also walked up, first greeted Liu Jinge, then looked at Luo Kai and asked, "Are you Luo Kai?"

Luo Kai nodded: "I'm Luo Kai, Hello, Team Leader Ran."

"Okay, okay." Ran Jiachang said two good times, and raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder.

This action made Guan Xinyan a little concerned.

Because Team Leader Ran also patted himself on the shoulder just now, and Xiao Xiao next to him didn't pat, but patted me on the shoulder specifically. Do you need to explain the meaning of this action?

Obviously, only players who have enough weight in Team Leader Ran's heart can receive this special treatment.

As a result, Team Leader Ran patted Luo Kai's shoulder again. He didn't pat Liu Jinge's, but patted Luo Kai's...

Does this mean that in Team Leader Ran's heart, this Olympic rookie has the same status as himself?

He thought of what Guo Junfu said to himself before, Director Shi recruited seven forwards this time, and this Luo Kai... seems to be one of them.

He looked at Luo Kai with more hostility now.

Luo Kai seemed to have noticed Guan Xinyan's eyes, he turned his head and looked at him expressionlessly.

The eyes of the two collided silently in the air, as if a spark had flashed.

At this moment, the young volunteers suddenly started commotion. Not only that, but also the players of the Olympic team who gathered around the sign-in booth to watch the excitement meeting their friends also made noises.

This aroused the dissatisfaction of the team leader Ran Jiachang. He was about to scold him when he suddenly saw three people walking from a distance.

Not only did he understand why the young volunteers were making a fuss and the Olympic team players were making noise, he even took the initiative to walk up to them!

Because the one in the middle of the three who came was Hu Lai!

※※※

"Let me tell you little Xingxing, although I am not familiar with the Flying Fish training base of the Shanhai Football Association, but it doesn't matter, I can play well in the Olympic team now, so you don't need to worry about being able to blend in if you follow my brother. team……"

Hu Lai was bragging with Chen Xingyi.

Chen Xingyi sneered: "Then why don't all the players of the Olympic team come out to welcome you..."

At this moment, he and Hu Lai saw a figure walking towards them at the same time.

"That's Ran Jiachang, the leader of the Olympic team, leader Ran," said Wang Guangwei, who was dragging his suitcase.

Hu Lai laughed: "See, little Xingxing, what is a card face!"

After he finished speaking, he took small steps and walked quickly to meet him.

Chen Xingyi said behind him: "If you are capable, don't go up to him..."

"I'm not stupid!" Hu Lai dropped this sentence, walked up to Ran Jiachang in two steps, and bowed respectfully: "Hello, leader Ran!"

Ran Jiachang didn't expect that Hu Lai would take the initiative to come up and bow to him, but this made him feel very good - he was fine when he saw Hu Lai, but now it's even better...

He laughed loudly, opened his arms, patted Hu Lai's shoulder from two directions at the same time, and then grabbed his arm vigorously: "You boy! I watched your FA Cup match against Poseidon, it was really beautiful!"

Hu Lai hurriedly nodded and bowed: "I'm overwhelmed, leader Ran..."

"I told you Director Shi, I wonder if you would like to contribute your set-piece tactics to the Olympic team? Didn't Zhao Kangming say all of that, are those set-piece tactics your idea?" Ran Jiachang smiled. ask.

"Of course it's okay, Team Leader Ran!" Hu Lai patted his chest, "Play for the country and do everything you can!"

Ran Jiachang got the answer he wanted, so he hugged Hu Lai happily, wrapped his arms around his neck, and exerted all his strength.

"I'm dying, leader Ran..." Hu Lai stuck out his tongue, bared his teeth and claws, and shouted exaggeratedly.

Ran Jiachang didn't care, and after releasing Hu Lai, he even kicked his ass.

"Hurry up and sign!"

Everyone watching this scene was dumbfounded.

The rookie Chen Xingyi asked Wang Guangwei in a low voice from behind: "Is leader Ran so easy to get along with?"

Wang Guangwei shook his head: "No, he only does this to Hu Lai..."

ps, I wish you all a happy National Day!

When you read this chapter, I was driving on the highway with my wife and children—afraid of traffic jams, I set off at 5:30 in the morning, and I probably haven’t reached my destination yet.

In fact, with my temper, I don't want to go out on national holidays such as National Day and May Day, because there are traffic jams everywhere, there are many cars on the road, and there are many people in scenic spots.

In the past, I could still laugh at those people on Weibo and Moments who were stuck on the road and in restricted areas at home.

But now, as the children grow older, I also become the person who is laughed at by myself...

After all, children are only free to go out to play at such times. No matter how free my job is, if my children are not free, neither am I.

Fortunately, I have saved manuscripts, so the regular updates for the past few days have been set.

Report to everyone.

If there are any beautiful scenery during the tour, I will also send an Easter egg chapter to share with you.

In addition, it is still during the period of double monthly tickets, and everyone’s monthly guaranteed monthly tickets are now voted out for one and two tickets, please ask for monthly tickets!

thank you all!
