Hunter and Hussar

Chapter 23 The Fierce Battle in the Rain

"Shoulders, it's shoulders!" Ye Ruiyang explained to the referee over and over again where the ball hit just now, and slapped his shoulders desperately with his hands.The rain rolled down his face, and I kind of wondered if he was going to cry.But the referee still shook his head unquestionably, thinking that Uchida's header hit his hand, which was a handball foul that required a penalty kick.Captain Kuang Hao led Yuan Yikong and He Mingming up to surround him.I wanted to go too, but before he walked over, he signaled us to disperse, otherwise he would show a yellow card.

The penalty cannot be changed.Everyone retreated outside the penalty area, and No. 20 An Dongyou walked in holding the ball.

"No. [-] goalkeeper, you can't move ahead, understand?" The referee held the whistle in his hand and ordered, "Beichuan takes the penalty, the shooting movement must be consistent, understand?"

We all nodded.The ball was placed on the penalty spot, everyone on and off the field held their breath, only the rain continued to fall on every corner of the earth.

He runs up and is about to shoot with his right foot.The process was very coherent, and it could be seen that he wanted to hit my right hand.My body reacted much faster than my brain, and I quickly jumped to the right, spreading my arms as far as I could.The damn ball flew high, I didn't reach it, it smacked the bar and went into the net.Thunderous shouts erupted from the stands, and the Korean who scored the penalty kick jumped up in the rain to celebrate. I stood up in frustration and slapped my arm on the crossbar again. The door frame helped me once 2 minutes ago, but luck didn't stand with us this time.

However, the referee's whistle sounded inappropriately amidst the cheers, and this time it was Beichuan's players to surround him.There were also sporadic boos from the stands.

The law enforcers determined that Beichuan's teammate who took the penalty kicked the player into the line early and made a foul. The goal was invalid and a heavy penalty was required.Uchida clasped his hands together to reason with the referee in a loud voice, speaking in Chinese, just repeating a sentence, "no foul", with his strange accent.Obviously, he was the one who entered the line ahead of time.Jin Min pulled him away, saying it was okay and asked Dongyou to kick him again, and he could still enter.

An Dongyou walked towards the penalty spot with the ball in his arms again, and smiled at me, feeling a little helpless.Everything has changed subtly.His approach distance is significantly longer.Will it change the direction of the shot?He is still retreating, which seems to be a kind of psychological warfare, giving me more time to guess where he will kick.Players who are confident enough will punish in the same direction, such as Shi Zhenhua.And he's stretched the distance so far and hasn't stopped yet... is it on purpose trying to trick me into thinking he's going to hit the left and then right again?still……

His run-up started, and there was a slight pause in the middle, which was a change of rhythm.In the rain, he ran to the ball...

Looking back, I'm sure the ball went behind the bar.Ye Ruiyang rushed up and hugged me tightly, as if I had scored a crucial goal.All members of the defensive line surrounded me, or patted my shoulders or touched my head, and all the water in my hair was squeezed out.Those who shook their heads became the Beichuan players who had just cheered, and the sighs in the stands were like dark clouds gathering.

There was also an element of luck, he slipped a little bit, the ball flew to the middle, I didn't move and lifted the penalty over the crossbar.

"Ke Ke, you are Ye Ruiyang's biological father today." Brother Chuan smiled.Ye Ruiyang scolded him back, saying that his mother was in the stands, don't forget to call grandma when it's over.

I don't really want to have a son, it would be awkward if someone called my mom grandma - she's not that old.

An Dongyou took a corner kick again.This time the ball was directly cleared by Yuan Yikong out of the penalty area.The opponent's defender took a long shot and sent the ball into space.

After missing a penalty kick, Beichuan's offensive weakened.Under the organization of Kuang Hao, we also completed a few shots, but the threat was not too great.As the halftime whistle blew, we walked back to the locker room on the slippery artificial turf.

You could see everyone was exhausted and I was probably the easiest one on the field as a goalkeeper.Including the cheering substitute players, everyone was covered in rain.Coach Wang is no exception. Her hair is a little messed up as she has been sticking to the sidelines.As soon as we entered the door, she applauded for us and praised everyone for their good performance in the first half.

Yue Yin also came in, and the boys who were taking off their clothes were so frightened that they let go quickly.Fortunately, she didn't show any signs of taking pictures with the camera, but took out papers and distributed them to everyone.We didn't know how embarrassed we looked, all of them were unkempt until the end of the scene.

"Is it cold?" Mi Le took Yue Yin's paper and came to wipe my hair without my consent.

"It's okay, how about you?" I saw that his hair was hanging down, and his clothes were more than half wet.Although he didn't play, he was still fighting with us on the sidelines.

"Are you tired? If there is a problem with your physical fitness, you must tell us in time." The coach circled around us, and went to several players to talk about the points to pay attention to during the game.She was the only one who didn't take the paper.In the end, she came to me, didn't say anything, and patted my head, and Mi Le's by the way.

I feel like everyone is twisted into a rope.

The second half of the game started, and Beichuan Middle School was the first to make substitutions.An Dongyou was replaced, which is a bit surprising.However, judging from the final situation of the first half, he made several mistakes in holding the ball. It seems that his physical fitness cannot keep up, and the missed penalty kick may also have an impact.

Not all Koreans are so good at running?Just like Uchida is not a technical stream?Maybe it's because we're all amateurs, and we're all kids.We haven't been molded yet, far from being professional grown-ups.However, how many children with their level, or better than them, are there in Japan and South Korea?
It was too late to think so much, and the battle started again.With the gradual decline of physical fitness and technical and tactical level, the relatively smooth offense and defense in the first half began to degenerate into a struggle in the midfield.The whistle continued to sound, and the stands and benches shouted one after another.The referee showed three yellow cards in the second half, and we have one here for Brother Chuan, who brought Jin Min down in the fight.

The coach on the sidelines played his first card and asked Huang Minxue to replace Brother Chuan.He limped a little when he walked down, and Zhao Rui and Mi Le picked him up from the sidelines.

Will it be replaced by Mi Le?To be honest, I very much hope that he will get the chance to appear as soon as possible, but in today's hand-to-hand combat, is it really good for him to come up?
Huang Minxue's debut was a press, almost a tackle on the ground, and the slippery ground made his movements smoother.Although the ball was intercepted, the referee still called a dangerous action foul and gave Beichuan a set kick.

"Study, pay attention to your movements!" Mu Zheng reminded him.He ignored it and continued chasing the ball, like a hound chasing prey.

The smell of gunpowder is escalating.The lack of physical strength distorted our movements, and the rain aggravated the anxiety of the players.Although Huang Minxue is not high-level, but his bones are very hard, and his enthusiasm for fighting is obviously superior to others.When Jin Min was dribbling the ball, he was directly intercepted by him.Without hesitation, he rushed forward with the ball like a four-wheel drive with a motor on.The quick counterattack after the midfield steal was Beichuan's forte, but it was copied by Huang Minxue at their home court.The player who returned to defense had no choice but to bring him down, another yellow card.This time Huang Minxue didn't talk too much, but quickly got up and put the ball to the scene of the incident, and passed it forward with one kick.The set ball was sent quickly, and he found Zhang Taotao who was plugging in from the side.At this time, Taotao was unguarded, and the Beichuan players hadn't recovered yet, and even the fouled player was ready to explain to the referee.The man in black ignored him and ran to the front to enforce the law.

Mu Zheng had already entered the penalty area, Taotao passed the ball through the rain and rushed forward. Mu Zheng threw his body out and shook his head as hard as he could. The ball ran towards the gate of Beichuan Middle School and passed the goalkeeper's fingers. Closed, and then smashed on the beam, and popped out of the door frame.In just a split second, darkness may flicker for a second before the eyes of all Beichuan students on the stadium and stands.

Just a few centimeters off, the jamb helped both teams once in each half.

After completing this wonderful attack, we changed two people in a row, Yan Xi replaced Mu Zheng, Xu Xiang replaced Zhang Taotao.Yan Xi stood at the front alone, looking for opportunities to fight back.Xu Xiang is an engineer, who plays the right back position as a cameo to strengthen the defense.

The time should have passed 50 minutes, and the two sides are still unable to score.Kim Min received the ball in midfield, a corner kick a few minutes ago, and I heard him retching in the box, but he was still trying to hide his discomfort.Probably he had to pass back, Xu Xiang and Huang Minxue were already blocking him in front of him.However, seemingly exhausted, he suddenly accelerated and changed direction, passing Xu Xiang.Huang Minxue went up to block them, and the bodies of the two collided head-on. Huang Minxue fell to the ground, and Jin Min also staggered, and finally insisted on not falling down.The referee did not blow the whistle, but raised his hands and pointed in the direction of the attack.This is a gesture that is beneficial to the offensive side and does not call for a foul.Jin Min, who had regained his balance, dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area. Uchida tried his best to open up space for him. He Mingming stepped forward to defend. empty.His powerful long-range shot was thrown like a shot put, but it was pressed very low and went straight for the goal.

The angle was too positive, I hugged the ball and pressed it firmly under my body, as if I was transferring the power of the remaining ball to the ground little by little.If the angle is a bit tricky, it must be a world wave.The continuous dribbling in the midfield this time is really pleasing to the eye.

The referee signaled me not to kick off, and I realized that there were two people lying on the court.Jin Min was right in front of him, while Huang Minxue fell far away.Jin Min was fine, with cramps, but the pain hit the turf. Mingming and Uchida were helping him to stretch his legs.

How is Huang Minxue?Everyone is surrounding him.Can't see clearly, I should go up.

I did go, and Mu Zheng, who was on the bench, also ran on the field.Xuexue clutched her thighs and lay on her back on the turf.As a teammate, the first thing I thought about was whether he wanted the referee to give Jin Min a yellow card.However, he didn't yell or roll, he just gritted his teeth tightly and didn't even hum.

"Xuexue, where are you hurt? Tell me!" Mu Zheng called to him.

"It's nothing..." Two words squeezed out between the teeth.This is obviously not performing, but restraining oneself.He must have put in a lot of effort, and he didn't cry out for pain when he was injured, he just shattered the pain and swallowed it in his stomach.Strong willpower and self-esteem make him so strong, I just speculated about him like that, fortunately I am still his teammate.

Am I wrong in judging many people?
Mu Zheng and Zhao Rui drove Huang Minxue to the end.The game restarted and all the attention had to come back, no matter how much I wondered what was going on with him.

This is simply a battlefield.

A few minutes later, I saw Xue Xue stood on the sidelines again, and the referee signaled that he could come back. Although he was a bit awkward to run, he ran in the direction of the ball again.Xuexue's timely return greatly boosted morale, and the race was approaching the finish line minute by minute, but the spirit was not slackened.Beichuan made a mistake in passing and catching the ball in midfield. Huang Minxue intercepted the ball, turned around and handed it to Kuang Hao, and the captain gave a precise long pass.Yan Xi received the ball at the front of Beichuan's penalty area, and there was not much time before the end of the game.Facing the defender, he paused, made a false move, and then kicked the goal in the space.Another defender came to help in time, threw himself onto the turf, and blocked Yan Xi's shot with his waist.The referee blew three long whistles to end the game. The Beichuan defender who blocked the hole of the gun hadn't gotten up yet, and rolled twice on the ground in pain.Yan Xi knelt down and patted him with concern.

The battle is over, but the soldiers on both sides still maintain the solemnity brought about by hard work.No one spoke, and they all went up to watch the defender who was bored by the ball.Fortunately, after a while, he slowed down, and Kuang Hao and Jin Min pulled him up.So everyone walked back to the middle circle and lined up to shake hands.The players on the bench also came to the court to say hello.

"Good save." The tall Uchida came over to say hello to me, and wanted to say something in Japanese to respond to him for a while, but I really didn't know how much, so I just smiled.

"Xuexue, are you okay?" I heard Mi Le asking, and when I turned around, Xuexue was panting with her hands on her knees.

"A flaw, it's not a big problem, it'll be fine after a few days of pain." He smiled with difficulty, grabbed Mi Le's hand that was reaching out to him, and slowly straightened his waist.

The rain stopped, we went to the stands to thank the audience, Xuexue walked a bit reluctantly, and was supported by Mu Zheng.I saw Ye Ruiyang's mother, she was standing in the rain with her son without an umbrella.The birdsong in autumn reverberates on the century-old campus of Beichuan Middle School. After a hard-won draw, today we are here to retreat and continue to rank first in the group.Returning to the locker room wet, the coach not only praised us, but also asked us to dry our bodies quickly to avoid catching a cold.After she finished speaking, she turned around and went out, finally able to change clothes freely.Ye Ruiyang was the first to finish it, and was about to go out when he opened the door, but he heard the coach say outside the door that after changing clothes, he had to clean up before leaving, and he couldn't leave any water or garbage in other people's changing rooms.However, you are an exception today. Mom is waiting for you outside the door.
