Fox in the Penalty Area

A car parked on the side of the street outside Dongchuan Middle School, Xia Xiaoyu was about to open the door and get out of the car.

"It's here, Xiaoyu, go in by yourself, your parents won't see you off." A middle-aged woman sitting in the co-pilot turned her head and said to Xia Xiaoyu who was sitting in the back row. "There are many people in the car, and the road is narrow. It will be troublesome for your dad to reverse the car after driving in..."

"Okay, Mom." Xia Xiaoyu put his hand on the door handle.

"Hey, open the door and look behind, be careful not to hit anyone..." the father who was driving reminded.

"I know, Dad."

After the son opened the door and got off with his schoolbag on his back, he stood outside the co-driver's door and waved to his parents. Then he turned and followed the crowd into the small street where the gate of Dongchuan University was located.

"I really don't know what Xiaoyu is thinking. Let Jiaxiang not go, but come here... No matter how good Dongchuan Middle School is, can it be better than Jiaxiang in Jincheng?" The mother turned her head and watched her son run away. Far away, complained.

"Isn't that great? If he really goes to Jincheng to attend high school, you probably won't be able to bear it anymore. Now that he is studying in Dongchuan Middle School, he can see us every day, and we can keep abreast of his situation in time." Besides, Dongchuan Middle School is not bad, it is the best school in Dongchuan." As a husband, Xia Xiaoyu's father persuaded his wife.

"Hey, do you think it's because Jiaxiang High School didn't enter the national competition this year, so he gave up Jiaxiang High School and came to Dongchuan Middle School? Dongchuan Middle School participated in the national competition this year." Mom asked.

"Who knows...Okay, don't worry about these things. Hurry up, otherwise the traffic police will come to take pictures..."

The husband turned on the turn signal and slowly drove into the crowded traffic.

And their son was standing at the gate of the school at this moment, looking up at the four brass characters on the gate.

"Dongchuan Middle School"

"Finally here..." He took a deep breath.

In order to attend this school, he rejected Jiaxiang High School in Jincheng. He still remembers the surprised expression on Jiaxiang High School's teacher's face when he refused to go to Jiaxiang High School.

He also asked himself why he made such a choice.

Xia Xiaoyu didn't tell the truth, but just made up an excuse. He didn't want to leave his parents and go to Jincheng to go to school. Dongchuan Middle School is close to home, so he can go home every day. If he went to Jincheng, he would only see his parents once a week.

Faced with such reasons, the teacher in charge of recruiting students at Jiaxiang High School was also speechless.

In fact, not only Jiaxiang's teacher was surprised by his decision, but his parents also didn't want to understand.

And his cousin, I heard on WeChat that he would not go to Jiaxiang to study, I don't know how disappointed.

Xia Xiaoyu didn't tell anyone the real reason for coming to Dongchuan Middle School.

Because he felt that they would not understand even if he said it.

Yeah, who would decide to attend this school because a rookie who only played football for a semester?

Xia Xiaoyu turned his eyes away from the school name, adjusted the shoulder strap of his schoolbag with his hands, and then walked through the gate of Dongchuan Middle School with other students.

After entering the campus, he didn't look for where his classroom was, but walked straight towards the school's stadium.

There was an important reason why he chose Dongchuan Middle School. He wanted to see where he would fight in the next three years.

As soon as Xia Xiaoyu entered the training ground, he was a little surprised to find that there were already people on the football field.

And he still knows this person.

It's the number fourteen.

Later Xia Xiaoyu found out that his name was "Hu Lai".

A rope is tied around his waist, and at the end of the rope is tied a tire--he is dragging this tire to sprint on the court.

From his clenched teeth and the bulging blood vessels on his forehead and neck, it can be seen that this training is not easy at all.

"Damn it, is the Dongchuan Middle School football team's training so hardcore?"

Right next to Xia Xiaoyu, a surprised voice sounded.

Xia Xiaoyu looked over curiously. He was a stocky boy who was slightly taller than him.

He was also wearing the school uniform of Dongchuan Middle School, but under the loose school uniform jacket, the lines of the T-shirt could be seen, which were the marks of chest muscles and abdominal muscles.

Seeing Xia Xiaoyu looking over, he smiled and said to Fang Fang: "My name is Chen Rui, and I'm from No. 21 Middle School."

"My name is Xia Xiaoyu, from Longyang Middle School." Xia Xiaoyu also responded to him with a smile.

"Longyang Middle School? The school that ranked third in the Anton Cup in the junior high school group last year? Your name is Xia Xiaoyu? Wait...you are that Xia Xiaoyu?!" Chen Rui was a little surprised.

Xia Xiaoyu was a little surprised: "You know me?"

"The core midfielder of Longyang Middle School, I've heard of your name, but I didn't expect you to come to Dongchuan Middle School... Didn't it mean that you were spotted by Jiaxiang High School?"

Xia Xiaoyu scratched his head, and brought up the excuse he used to declare to the outside world: "Uh, I can't bear to leave home. I go to Jincheng to go to school and come back once a week. I don't like it..."

"Hehe, actually Dongchuan Middle School is not bad. It is also the best middle school in our Dongchuan Middle School. Moreover, Dongchuan Middle School's football team defeated Jiaxiang and represented Anton in the national competition. I applied for Dongchuan Middle School because of From the football team. When I was in junior high school, I was the main force of our school team, playing as a midfielder." Chen Rui introduced himself cheerfully.

"I'm in Longyang Middle School..."

"No, you don't need to introduce, haha, I know it all! I didn't expect you to come to Dongchuan Middle School, and now the hope of participating in the national competition is greatly increased! You don't know, when you heard that Luo Kai left the team, I think it is almost impossible for Dongchuan Middle School to beat Jiaxiang High School to go to the national competition..."

Xia Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed by the other party's naked praise, he smiled a little shyly, and then said: "No, although Luo Kai is gone, Dongchuan Middle School still has him."

As he spoke, he cast his gaze on Hu Lai on the field.

"Him?" Chen Rui stared at this person on the field for a while, "Who is he?"

This time it was Xia Xiaoyu's turn to be a little surprised: "You know so much about Dongchuan Middle School, don't you even know about Hu Lai?"

"Huh? He's Hu Lai?" Chen Rui looked in surprise at the man on the field who was struggling to pull the tires and run forward.

"Well... Although it's not the same as when he was in the national competition, he is indeed Hu Lai."

In fact, when Xia Xiaoyu saw Hu Lai for the first time, he didn't dare to admit it. It was indeed a big change from what he saw in the Anton Cup final.

The body is a little stronger and the skin is darker.

"I saw something about him on the Internet. It is said that when he joined the school team last year, he hadn't had much contact with football... It's unbelievable, but in the end it was he who helped Dongchuan Middle School enter the national competition... "

Hearing the emotion from Chen Rui beside him, Xia Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I was there at the time."

Chen Rui turned his head to look at Xia Xiaoyu strangely.

"I watched the match between Dongchuan Middle School and Jiaxiang High School on the spot."

"Wow! Is what is said on the Internet true? Hu Lai really killed Jiaxiang under Wang Guangwei's constant defense?" Chen Rui asked curiously. Because the Anton Cup game was not broadcast live, he could only learn about the game through posts posted by others on the Internet.

However, netizens' posts, relying only on words and pictures, are always exaggerated.

For example, at the beginning, some people said that Hu Lai scored a goal against Jiaxiang under the defense of Wang Guangwei.

This post was sprayed to death as soon as it was sent out - can the players targeted by Wang Guangwei still score goals? Don't you think we haven't seen Wang Guangwei's game!

Who is Wang Guangwei? Can be scored by a nobody?

Chen Rui also felt that this post was too exaggerated at first, but later there were more and more such statements, and he was a little uncertain.

Now that I have met someone who is on the scene, I must confirm it.

Xia Xiaoyu nodded: "Yes, Wang Guangwei has been staring at him. In fact, the defense was successful most of the time, but in the end... Finally, he found a chance to score a goal."

"It's unbelievable..." Chen Rui murmured as he looked at Hu Lai who was sprinting with tires on the court. "Wang Guangwei is now a professional player playing in Flash Star, and Hu Lai can score goals under his defense..."

"He also scored three goals in the national competition. After Luo Kai left, Dongchuan Middle School should rely on him for scoring." Xia Xiaoyu said looking at Hu Lai on the field.

Hu Lai finally finished the training of dragging the tires and sprinting. He didn't even have time to untie the rope, so he collapsed on the ground, sprawled on all fours, looking at the sky with dead fish eyes, panting heavily.

Today is obviously the first day of the second year of high school, the day to report to school, and there is no class.

However, at the request of Li Ziqiang, he came to the school ahead of schedule to accept the "start-of-school training package gift package" prepared by the coach.

The coach said it was for his own good, to prevent him from overindulging in the summer vacation and causing his physical condition to fall below the standard.

As for why he is the only one in the team who needs to do this, the coach told him that because he is the vice-captain, he has to lead by example.

Hu Lai really wanted to say to the coach: Coach, you'd better hire another Gao Ming, take this vice-captain back, I'm not the material to be the captain at all!

But now he has absolutely no strength to speak.

While he was panting heavily, Li Ziqiang walked up to him, then squatted down, looked at him carefully, and said: "It seems that you have maintained a good body this summer vacation, and you haven't gained much fat."

Hu Lai grinned, but still couldn't say a single word.

Then he patted Hu Lai on the shoulder: "Okay, have you had enough rest? Get up, it's time to practice heading. Don't be lazy on the first day of training for your sophomore year. Give your sophomore year a good start!"

Panting heavily, Hu Lai gritted his teeth and got up from the field, took off the rope still tied to his body, and walked towards the penalty area.

In the penalty area, a dummy support for training has been set up, as tall as one person, standing in front of the goal to indicate the position of the defensive player.

Li Ziqiang went to the sidewalk, took out a football from the net bag, blew the whistle in his mouth, and then passed the football to the goal with a bang.

The football flew into the penalty area in the air, and Hu Lai ran towards the landing point of the football, then bypassed the dummy in the penalty area, and then jumped up to head the ball.

When he jumped up, the football flew right in front of his head, and he was seen pushing his waist and abdomen in the air, shaking his head and attacking the goal!

Boom!

The football was pushed into the goal by him, making a crisp sound of rubbing against the net.

Swish!
