Fox in the Penalty Area

"Hey, have you heard? Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Rui actually ran to the coach and asked for extra practice!"

"What? Liar?"

"Why am I lying to you? I saw it with my own eyes today. Before the morning reading, Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Rui walked out of the football field, covered in sweat, especially Chen Rui, who was still covered with white hair. It's like being steamed..."

"So exaggerated?"

"It's not an exaggeration at all. The two of them looked exhausted. They must have just finished training. Isn't our coach always training Deputy Hu?"

"Could it be that the two of them went to train with Deputy Hu?"

"That's right! I ran to confirm at noon, and I was training with Deputy Hu!"

"Damn it, these two people...are cunning! They even sneaked off to practice extra training for themselves! No, I want to go too!"

"Are you going too? What are you going to do?"

"Go to training! Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Rui are the main players, right? If I don't go so hard, won't I be pulled further and further away by them? Let me tell you, don't look at us now We can only play as substitutes. But what about next year? Next year, all the seniors will retire, so should we be there? If we can’t keep up, then the vacant position will be reserved for freshmen? Who knows? What monster will come next year..."

"Hey, what you said seems to make sense..."

"Please remove the 'like'. Anyway, I have to go to training! Isn't it just half an hour early to school every day? What a big deal!"

"Then I'll go too!"

...

"Do you know? Xia Xiaoyu, Chen Rui, Li Xiang, and Liu Yiwei went to practice with Deputy Hu!"

"What?! They are too cunning! Why didn't you call me!"

"Shen Yulin, are you going too?"

"Of course I'm going!"

"Then I will go with you too!"

...

"Well, I heard something,

Those new players from the first year of high school ran to participate in the extra training in the morning and noon! "

"What? Isn't that extra training specially prepared by the coach for Hu Lai?"

"That's right, but now a group of first-year high school students are practicing with Hu Lai all day long."

"Eh? Can we practice together? I always thought this training was just for Hu Lai..."

"I haven't thought about this either. I have to say that the angle of the freshman group is tricky... It is said that Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Rui ran to find the head coach at first, but the coach agreed...Then the two of them I practiced with Hu Lai, and then for some reason, more and more people gathered together, and finally all the first-year players ran to practice together..."

"Hey, let me tell you, we seem to be looked down upon by the first year of high school..."

"I also think that this completely shows that we are all a bunch of lazy people!"

"No, I'm going too!"

"Count me in!"

"Damn it, you can't be looked down upon by those freshmen! We're not as good as they are willing to suffer!"

"I'll ask Class Seven and Class Eight, we're going together!"

"We high school sophomores must unite, we can't be outmatched by high school students!"

...

"That group of freshmen and sophomores are too defiant! They went to practice extra training secretly, and they didn't even tell our seniors! What's the matter, do you think we don't have time to train after our third year? Shit! No matter how heavy the learning tasks are, the time for training There are still some!"

"That's right, if you really don't have time to train, then why don't us high school seniors just quit the team?"

"Team Yan, go tell the coach, don't do any extra training, just normalize the training before morning reading and lunch break, and make it the training time of our whole team!"

"Tang Yuan's formulation is good, Team Yan. Why can they go to extra practice when they are freshmen and sophomores, and we have to do exercises in the classroom? As long as the team is training normally, we should go, and no one can stop us!"

"That's right, that's right, when the time comes to enter the national competition, the freshmen and sophomores have been trained, what if our position is taken away? We must not fall behind!"

A group of senior three members of the Dongchuan Middle School football team gathered outside Yan Yan's classroom, chatting around their captain.

Yan Yan, who had been silent before, frowned and thought for a while before raising his head to face everyone's earnest eyes.

"Okay, I'll go and tell the coach, if you want to practice, you can practice together. What does it mean to practice specially for the first and second graders?"

"Team Yan is wise!"

"Why don't we go together? There are so many people and the coach is embarrassed to reject so many of us, right?"

"Okay, then come here after lunch today and gather here, and then go find the coach together!" Yan Yan made the final decision.

Hu Lai felt that the past few days were really magical. Originally, he had trained one-on-one with the coach alone for several months, and he was used to this kind of boring but fulfilling special training.

As a result, starting from noon this Monday, his peaceful training life was broken...

The first ones were Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Rui. The two of them suddenly went crazy and wanted to train with me for extra training.

The head coach didn't know what was wrong, but he agreed to them!

It was like opening Pandora's box, and the subsequent development of the situation was completely beyond Hu Lai's imagination, and it was out of control.

All the high school players appeared on the sidelines and asked the head coach to allow them to come to the training together. They also pointed to Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Rui as examples. Say why they can, but we can't?

So the head coach asked them if they had much for lunch...

And then, Hu Lai actually saw Mao Xiao and Meng Xi, his sophomore teammates on the sidelines, who also came to ask to join the training.

As a result, today, when he was doing strength training with his teammates in the first and second grades, the teammates in the third grade, under the leadership of Team Yan, came to them in mighty force!

After a few words, these high school seniors happily joined the team and started training with them...

Hu Lai was dumbfounded—this is the devil's special training! It's not that everyone goes out for an outing together, why are you all so happy?

I practice like I'm going to die every day, do you think I'm teasing you?

All right, let's all die together.

On Thursday morning, all the football players of Dongchuan Middle School came to the school early and assembled on the football field. They didn't even go to their classrooms, their schoolbags were in the locker room.

The head coach Li Ziqiang stood in front of all the players, looked at them, and said with a straight face: "This is the training content I designed for Hu Lai. Since you have to follow along, I can't lower the training requirements and training requirements to accommodate you." Intensity. Let me tell you in advance that the training intensity in the morning and noon will be very high, and I believe the first-year players who have followed the training for two days have already experienced it.”

Many of the freshman players in the team had painful expressions on their faces.

"So I will give you one last chance. If you are not willing to endure such training intensity, you can choose to give up. It will not affect your normal training in the afternoon, nor will it affect your chances of playing. This is training outside of normal training. Your performance in training is not included in the inspection of daily training. But if you choose to stay, you must persevere. I will not allow anyone to quit casually, because the training plan will definitely be based on the whole team For consideration, if someone quits midway, it will not be able to keep up with the team's training rhythm, sorry, you may not be able to get a chance to play."

Having said that, Li Ziqiang looked at the players with changing expressions on their faces: "Now, anyone who wants to quit can just leave."

After he finished speaking, he stopped talking, stood aside, and didn't even look at the players again.

In the team that he couldn't see, everyone looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, the changes in the expressions on their faces fully demonstrated the entanglement in their hearts. Afterwards, everyone's eyes seemed to converge. Players of each grade would turn their attention to teammates of other grades, as if they wanted to see if any of them would quit...

Under this kind of mutual gaze, when the third-year players showed conflicts, the expressions on their faces became firm when they saw the teammates of the first-year and second-year seniors—absolutely not to be looked down upon by the juniors!

And when the sophomore players were unsure, they immediately gritted their teeth when they saw their teammates in the first and third years of high school—they must not be looked down upon by the seniors!

The first-year players looked at their teammates in the second and third year and thought - we have practiced a few days longer than the seniors, and we have already adapted to the training intensity. How can we be deserters under such circumstances? Whoever quits has no balls!

So under this look at each other, no one stood up from the team and left the field.

After a full minute, Li Ziqiang turned his attention to them again: "It seems that no one has quit? Well, this is what you asked for yourself. When the time comes, you will feel tired and tired. Don't complain that I didn't give you a chance. Since the whole team It is agreed to add two more training sessions per day, so we will redistribute the training content. In the morning, we will focus on physical fitness, in the afternoon on strength, and in the afternoon, we will adjust all the training to ball training. It will help us to do better technical and tactical training.”

This is the new training plan that Li Ziqiang considered after going back last night.

Although he didn't quite understand why these players suddenly had to participate in the morning and noon training as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. But for him, it's a good thing. Originally, there were only three days a week for training in the afternoon. For a team aiming at the national competition, three training sessions a week were a little less, and the training time was less, so the training content could not be arranged.

As a result, the problem is now solved.

"Then now, start the formal training! Go warm up first!"

The whistle sounded on the football field and spread to the campus across the wall.
