my football i call the shots

Since the three core players on the blue team's side were withdrawn by Cao Chen for the purpose of protection, Bai Xiaolei was left as the absolute main player on the court.

Because the blue team is comparable to their own strength, the yellow team also started to attack the blue team's goal many times in the second half of the game.

It's a pity that Bai Xiaolei, just like his nickname "Brother Octopus", kept jumping up and down, defusing the yellow team's attacks again and again.

The blue team has no offensive core in the frontcourt, and their offense has also stagnated.

After this back and forth, everyone was still deadlocked on the scene, and no one could break the deadlock.

I don't know why, but the 45 minutes in the second half passed very quickly. Gao Yi felt that he had only rested for a while, and Cao Chen blew the whistle in his hand.

But looking at the electronic timer, Gao Yi found that Cao Chen was right, and the 90-minute game had already been played.

As soon as the game was over, both the players of the blue team and the yellow team were so tired that they collapsed to the ground. Of course, except for Bai Xiaolei, who basically didn't have much work to do in the whole game, he was still walking.

After the game, Cao Chen didn't rush to blow the assembly whistle in his hand. He took a pen in his hand and carefully wrote down in a small notebook.

Everyone understood that Cao Chen was counting the players who had the strength to stay in the 23-man roster of Nanhu No. [-] High School Team.

The players who represented the yellow team in the game held their breath at this time. They all hoped to stay in the school team, and they all hoped to continue to represent Nanhu No. [-] Middle School in the high school football league in the new season.

After about ten minutes, Cao Chen finally stopped the pen in his hand, but he didn't put the booklet back into his trouser pocket.

"Beep..."

A long whistle sounded, and Cao Chen gathered his players together again.

And this round of gathering may also be the last time for some of them to gather in the No. [-] high school team.

"Everyone, I need to tell you with great regret that after these 7 days of intense training, I have basically confirmed the 23-man roster for the new season."

There was silence underneath, no one spoke, let alone any noise.

Cao Chen glanced at the 36 players.

It's a pity that the time is too short. Before Cao Chen can remember them one by one in his mind, he will bid farewell to some players in front of him.

"Ugh……"

After Cao Chen sighed deeply, he picked up the booklet in his hand.

"First of all, I need to say with great regret to the high school seniors except Wang Bo: 'I'm sorry'...you are all eliminated."

After Cao Chen finished speaking, there was still silence.

"You are eliminated not because of your lack of ability, but because of the college entrance examination! The college entrance examination is a very important hurdle in the Chinese education system. I don't want football to affect your future university qualifications, so you were eliminated. In the same way, I wish you good results in the college entrance examination next year, and carry on your football dreams in college."

After all, Cao Chen gratefully applauded those high school seniors who were eliminated.

After a slight delay, the players below applauded at the same time.

These third-year students are all veterans of the No. [-] Middle School team. Even if they failed to bring No. [-] Middle School out of the "round trip" spell, they have been in the No. [-] Middle School team for more than two years. Consecrated tremblingly, and never left the No. [-] middle school team when they were lonely.

Their spirit is enough to win the applause of all the people around them.

Even Gao Yi, a newcomer who couldn't even recognize their names, applauded without hesitation.

"Next, I will announce the players selected for the 23-man roster for the new season."

"Ahem." Cao Chen cleared his throat.

"Zhang Ziyang, Wang Bo, Bai Xiaolei, Gao Yi, Li Lei..."

In this series, Cao Chen named more than a dozen names, and those who were named were filled with ecstasy, while those who were not named were anxious and eager.

None of them wanted to fail.

They also hope to continue walking with the No. [-] middle school team, even if they continue to "round tour"!
Before he knew it, Cao Chen had counted the names of more than 20 players.

And those who have not been named yet, they have no expectations on their faces at this time, except for disappointment, there is nothing but disappointment.

At this point it can already be said: the overall situation has been decided.

"The last one: Li Haohan!"

Everyone turned their attention to the last lucky one——Li Haohan.

Li Haohan couldn't believe everything in front of him. He even looked at Cao Chen questioningly. It wasn't until Cao Chen nodded to him with a positive expression that he finally believed it: it's true!
Ecstasy, nothing but ecstasy on Li Haohan's face is ecstasy!

Unexpectedly, he hurt the team's absolute main force Gao Yi with such a rude action in the first half, and he was favored by the head coach Cao Chen and got the chance to be selected for the 23-man roster.

"AH!!!!" he screamed in ecstasy.

All of this came too suddenly, too suddenly, for him.

This feeling is as if I am about to fall into the ice cave, or when I have already fallen into the ice cave, a pair of big hands pull me up and save myself back.

"Thank you, thank you, Coach Cao, thank you for allowing me to continue playing, thank you..."

At this moment, Li Haohan was so happy that he couldn't make a sound, even speaking intermittently.

This is the real version of crying with joy, right?
And this scene, Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang were also very moved, especially Zhang Ziyang, immediately, he changed his mind about this second-year senior brother who was crying like a child.

Because, they absolutely do not have such a strong desire to play football like Li Haohan.

From Li Haohan's face blurred by tears and sweat, Gao Yi could see the traces of years of hard work for his dream.

Perhaps, Li Haohan is not a football genius.

However, Li Haohan is definitely a dream chaser worthy of respect from others!
Perhaps, Li Haohan's tears at this time can explain why he fought so hard in today's game.

Li Haohan wiped away the tears from his face and came in front of Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang.

He didn't say anything at first, and bowed to Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang.

After raising their heads, Gao Yi and Zhang Ziyang were surprised to find that Li Haohan's face was full of tears again.

"I'm sorry, Gao Yi, I'm so eager to stay in the school team. My childhood dream is to play football, kick out of South Lake, and play in the professional team..."

"Okay, Hao Han, stop talking."

Zhang Ziyang hugged Li Haohan's shoulders, unconsciously, Zhang Ziyang's eyes were blurred with tears.

What a misunderstanding.

What a knot.

At this time, a deep hug mixed with emotional tears has resolved everything.

Because a person who works tirelessly for his dream deserves respect from others, even if he was slightly at fault for shoveling Gao Yi regardless of the consequences, this trivial fault deserves to be forgiven by others!

Also because of this scene, the players who lost the selection did not appear too lonely, and they were also moved by Li Haohan's joy.

After all, the law of survival of the fittest is the norm in society, and they also need to follow it.

Cao Chen also tried his best to appease the 13 players who were not selected.

"Guys, come on! After leaving the school team, don't lose your football dreams. When you go to university or work in the future, I hope you don't forget football and this grain that once brought you laughter. little things."

"Similarly, thank you for your contributions to the school team these days, thank you!"

After speaking, Cao Chen shook hands with the eliminated players one by one.

This world is so cruel, there is no permanent banquet, maybe this is not a bad thing for these eliminated boys, they can also have more time to do other things, can't they?

In this way, on this football field with cheers, parting sounds, and choking sounds, the National Day training period of Nanhu No. [-] Middle School came to a successful conclusion!
And what awaits them is the tough battle against Nanyu Middle School on the 10th!

Come on!boys!
