Chapter 55 Pick the yellow side(1/2)
Xilin said that the solution to the problem was a penalty kick, but the penalty kick in the team was captain Kevin Cooper. Isn't this challenging the captain's authority?
Kevin Cooper stood up and said, "If I don't let you see women running naked, you will definitely hate me, right?"
Everyone laughed. They already knew the captain's attitude.
"But I think we'd better not tell the boss about this," he added.
Everyone nodded in agreement. If they told the boss, he would definitely not agree with the boss's temper... "In addition, I think this matter should be done more properly after we lead." He put forward the last condition, but it was reasonable. No one had any objections or was dissatisfied with it, and believed that the captain was deliberately making things difficult for him.
"Of course, Coopers. First of all, we have to ensure that we can win. After all, compared to naked beauties, I prefer to upgrade more!" Xilin shrugged.
Everyone burst into laughter.
In this way, when Chu Zhongtian didn't say a word, his fate in this game was already arranged - if Wimbledon could take the lead, he would try every means to create a penalty for Chu Zhongtian and let him take the penalty. Penalty is the best of all shooting methods. Even if Chu Zhongtian's shooting skills are poor, he always knows some of the shooting skills? Faced with this almost uninterrupted shooting method, the hope of scoring is always greater than scoring goals in a sports battle?
After the discussion on the countermeasures, everyone continued to change their clothes and prepared to go out to warm up. It was raining today and the temperature was a little low, so warming up seemed more important - no one wanted to be injured in the game because of insufficient warm-up.
Chu Zhongtian approached Xilin and pulled him and whispered: "Where did the beauty come from? Where did the beauty come from? Where did the beauty come from running naked?!"
"If you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows?" Xilin quickly covered Chu Zhongtian's mouth, for fear that his voice would be louder and others would hear it.
"You are cheating..." Chu Zhongtian pried away Xilin's hand and lowered his voice again.
"Let you score the goal first and then talk about it, stupid!" Xilin glared at him. "Do you want to score a goal? You said! Do you still want to score a goal?"
Chu Zhongtian was stunned for a moment. He really wanted to score a goal... "If I told them that the person who was going to run naked was a fat man, do you think they are still interested?"
Chu Zhongtian was speechless. No one liked to watch the fat man run naked, unless his sexual orientation and aesthetics were different from ordinary people... Xilin patted Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder: "Okay, just wait and enjoy the goal - if possible. As for the beautiful woman running naked, let's talk about it before you see it, ha!"
Xilin ignored Chu Zhongtian and lowered his head to wear shoes.
Chu Zhongtian thought about it and seemed that there was no other way, so he also went to change his clothes and prepared to go out to warm up. He could only hope that there would be a road before the car arrived at the mountain, and the boat would naturally be straight when it reached the bridge.
※※※Phillip and Kenny squeezed into the stands, put the umbrella away, put it at their feet, and took out the prepared raincoat from their backpacks. Now they can slap in the stands without getting wet into the rain. Because it is rainy in the UK, raincoats are a must-have equipment for English fans to watch football. The umbrella must be held with one hand, and it is inconvenient to do many things, especially when cheering for goals, and when you raise both hands, the umbrella may make the person next to you bleeding from the forehead.
Kenny glanced at Philip, who was tightly wrapped, and said, "I feel more and more troublesome now that you are taking off your clothes."
Philip glared at his friend: "You're fine and always wondering what to do if you take off my clothes? Are you a damn glass? Tell you, I'm not bisexual!"
"I have a premonition." Kenny pointed his finger at the sky, "I always feel that Chu can score a goal today!"
"Put down your hand and be careful of being struck by lightning! You lightning rod!" Philip said dissatisfied, "You and I canceled Chu's goal count yesterday, why did it change today?"
"Because I suddenly want to see you running naked..."
Before Kenny could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jackson next to him: "Running naked? Who!" He looked at Kenny, and Kenny signaled him to look at Philip with his eyes.
"Someone wants to run naked? What's going on?" Old Bente, wearing a raincoat, also came up to join in the fun.
Then, Phil, Colin John... a group of people from the Duns Bar came up and asked who was going to run naked.
Philip's face suddenly changed... After everyone figured out that it was fat Philip who was going to run naked, they all lost interest. However, Kenny immediately said that the prerequisite for Philip to run naked was that Chu wanted to score a goal in the game, and they became excited again.
"Chu wants to score? That's a good thing!" Colin John was debugging the DV in his hand. When he heard someone saying that Chu Zhongtian was planning to score, he hurriedly came over and shouted loudly, "If he can come to my side later, I will tell him that if he scores, I will reward him with one hundred pounds!" He felt that Chu and Philip bet on the goal was definitely not to see Philip's naked body. The real reason might be that what he said to him the night before and the cross-border phone call, but he couldn't say this. This is too gossip... But if Chu Zhongtian really scored, his reward of one hundred pounds would not be less. Putting aside the fact that he wanted to give Emily a birthday gift, Chu Zhongtian was worthy of his reward - this is not often the case.
"You are so willing to let it go, Old John..." Bente looked at the dv in John's hand and smiled. He already knew that this dv was to take pictures of this game as a birthday gift for Emily, so he didn't ask much.
Boss John aimed the dv in his hand at Philip and Kenny: "I have been advertising in his name for so long, so it's time to pay a little endorsement fee..."
The rest of the people expressed their expectations and support for Chu Zhongtian's goal, but no one discussed Philip's naked run.
But this made Philip's face even more ugly, because they all hoped that Chu Zhongtian would score, so they had to run naked... "But I don't think he can score..." Philip weakly wanted to find some sense of security for himself.
Everyone stopped and looked at Philip. He thought he was wrong and was about to apologize. Someone sighed: "It is really difficult to see Chu score the goal..."
His speech was approved by others. When it comes to Chu Zhongtian's defense, he has to give him a thumbs up, and he has nothing to say. But if he is asked to shoot and score, then... Anyway, after watching his game for most of the season, everyone believes that unless God possesses his soul, Chu Zhongtian will not have the chance to enjoy the cheers of the fans after the goal... Philip patted the two balls of flesh on his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
※※※In fact, Wimbledon's opponent in this game, North_greenford United (north_greenford_united) is not a weak team. They are now ranked tenth and are also the backbone of the mixed county league. The first time the two teams met in the league was at North Glenford United's home court. Wimbledon narrowly won 4:3 in that game. They fell behind twice in the game, and the maximum score difference reached two goals. As a result, Wimbledon chased after the second half. It was not until the 83rd minute that Russell scored a goal and locked the score at 4:3. Wimbledon, who played away, narrowly scored three points.
Therefore, in today's game, North Glenford United, who came to visit, actually came with a "revenge" mentality. They had the opportunity to win at home, but were reversed. This tone could not be swallowed no matter how hard they were, and they must find the place in the second round of the two sides!
However, Wimbledon's players don't care what their opponents think now. They are thinking in their hearts how to help Chu Zhongtian score a goal, and then experience the beautiful woman running naked. Fortunately, the beauty fell in love with her, and maybe she would take the initiative to pounce on her arms and throw herself into her arms. She then made a righteous posture, used the excuse to help maintain the order of the game, grabbed the beauty, then used the force of her arm, twisted her waist again, pulled the opponent to the ground, turned over and rode, and put her hands up and down... It's great!
Many people showed expectant smiles on their faces, but this smile fell into the eyes of head coach Eames and assistant coach Ingrich, and they only felt a confident smile.
North Glenford United is not a fish-bare that can be kneaded casually, but the team can show such a confident smile, which also makes the two coaches feel relieved - they just thought that after they set the team's goals for this season, everyone's morale was high, and even the most powerful opponent could defeat it. Who would have thought of the dirty things in the players' minds?
After the tactics were talked about, Eames clapped his hands and signaled everyone to prepare to appear.
Chu Zhongtian stood up and walked towards the door. On the way, Russell leaned over and whispered to him: "Don't rush to score the goal first, stabilize the defense first."
Chu Zhongtian nodded, and he naturally knew that. He would not ignore the overall situation just because he wanted to score a goal and wanted Philip to make a fool of himself.
"But...is he really a beauty?" Russell suddenly leaned into Chu Zhongtian's ear and asked in a low voice.
"Uh..." Chu Zhongtian had not had time to answer.
Russell said again: "If Emily hadn't gone to the United States, I thought it would be her... Do you know, in school, many people regard Emily as their dream lover!"
Chu Zhongtian was not surprised by this. As the most beautiful girl in the school and still single, Emily is indeed qualified and qualified to be a partner that many boys dream of.
Speaking of Emily, Chu Zhongtian remembered that today was her birthday: "By the way, today is Emily's birthday, Russell."
Russell stopped and turned his head to look at him in confusion: "Really? How did you know?"
"She called me the night before yesterday. She also asked Boss John to record the game in a DVD and then mail it to her as a birthday gift."
"Awesome!" Russell waved his fist, "I have to try to score a few more goals, ha!"
Looking at his excited look, Chu Zhongtian thought to himself: Are you among so many boys who regard Emily as their dream lover, Russell?
※※※When Chu Zhongtian stood on the court, the drizzle was still falling, and his shoulders were quickly wet.
Although Kings Ranch is a professional football stadium, Wimbledon and the Kingstons Club, the owner of the stadium, do not have much financial resources to maintain it, let alone any underground drainage system and underground heating system. In March, the stadium was full of large tiny yellow patches, and green grass was just an embellishment.
After a warm-up just now, the stadium looks no big difference from the rotten vegetable fields.
Chu Zhongtian wore the Nike sneakers that Emily bought with him, and experienced the feeling of his feet moving on the ground. It was a bit slippery, which was a troublesome for defense and offense. The boss's approach was correct. In this game, he asked the team to mainly go in the air and let the football fly as much as possible in the sky instead of rolling under his feet. Russell's role has become very small, but the two sides will be very important.
I believe the other party is the same. The competition in the air will be very fierce. Chu Zhongtian is not afraid of fighting with his opponent. He has always been very confident about his bounce and header. If someone intends to header in front of him, he is willing to tell the other party that this is a no-fly zone and is prohibited from passing.
His height is not very tall here, only 1.80 meters, and it may be over 1.8 meters around him to catch any person. However, he bounces very well, and his position selection is very accurate in defense, and his judgment of the ball landing point is quite accurate. He is an absolute rookie in shooting and needs to be humbly asked others, but in defense, even Keith Ward, an experienced old defensive player, admits that Chu Zhongtian is actually experienced and more talented.
Chu Zhongtian looked up at the back of the opponent's goal. He was looking for the group of people in the Duns Bar. It rained today, but there were still many fans coming to the scene, almost filling the stands of more than 4,000 people. He didn't look for familiar faces, and he couldn't see them clearly when it was too far away. He was looking for those eye-catching banners and slogans... "Da Chu, your fellow villager, classmate and roommate Yang Yang cheered for you!"
"Chu, you are the pride of our Duns Bar!"
"Chu is a classmate of Charles Philip and Joseph Kenny!"
Following these slogans, Chu Zhongtian found the person he was looking for - Charles Philip. He waved his fist to the other side.
※※※"Look, Charles Chu is greeting you!" Kenny teased Philip next to him.
"Nonsense! So many of us are all his friends. How do you know he is saying hello to me?" Philip shrank his neck and stared at Kenny.
Kenny shook his head and said the basis for his judgment: "In the past, he waved his hands when he greeted us all." He stretched out his hand and waved to Chu Zhongtian. "Look, it's like this - the palms of the five fingers are spread out." After waving his hand to Chu Zhongtian, Kenny did not put it down, but pointed directly at Chu Zhongtian. "Look at it now, he is clenching his fists!"
"Hey!" Philip rolled his eyes, "What's your basis..." He was a little guilty about saying this, so he simply shut up and stopped talking.
Boss John pushed the DV camera back, giving Chu Zhongtian a close-up look of waving his fists.
"Well...the expression is good."
※※※ After Chu Zhongtian demonstrated to Philip, he observed the venue in front of him. He found that the half of the stadium where North Glenford United had warmed up before seemed to remain the same style and did not suffer much trampling. He looked at the opponent standing on the other side. He remembered that most of the players in North Glenford United were doing warm-up movements on the side of the court, and they didn't even shoot a few times.
He understood what was going on.
Instead of letting both half-fields become muddy, it is better to keep one. If you can get the right to pick the edges by guessing the coin, you will definitely pick one side of the vegetable field, so that they will have the advantage in the first half of the attack. Wimbledon, who has this "good land", will not only face the fierce offensive of North Glenford United when defending, but also will be twice the result with half the effort when attacking by himself because of the poor conditions in the half-field field.
In the second half, the only "good place" became muddy due to the opponent's bombardment in the first half. The conditions of both sides returned to balance, but it is likely that the score was unbalanced. Then as long as you make full use of the venue conditions and maintain the lead in the score, it will not be too difficult to win the game in the end.
This is really a good idea... Chu Zhongtian touched his chin and thought about it. He saw that captain Kevin Cooper had already stepped forward to guess at the referee's request.
The captain has no talent for guessing coins, and his intuition is not as accurate as Chu Zhongtian, so it is normal to have a win or lose. But to this day, this "has a win or lose" is not enough.
Chu Zhongtian immediately followed up after he had a problem.
Captain Kevin Cooper and the other guy with the captain's armband on the left arm walked to the referee together. The referee took out a coin specially used to pick edges. Although it is used to be called a coin, it is actually not any currency that can be circulated, but is made and issued by FIFA. The edge picker is circular and the size of a coin. Therefore, if the referee forgot to bring the edge picker during some games, he will directly ask someone on the sidelines to borrow coins instead of the edge picker.
The referee took the edge picker in blue one side, with the FIFA logo and the abbreviation "fifa" printed on it, and the other side is yellow, with the fair competition logo printed on it. The logo is not unfamiliar. Before the opening of many football matches, people specially entered the court with this yellow fair competition logo. However, in the ninth level league, this kind of procedure is not seen... But not all edge pickers are like this, such as a large event like the World Cup, and the yellow side is the logo of the current cup.
The referee put the edge picker in the center of his hand and signaled the captains of both sides to come and pick the color. After a while, he threw the edge picker into the air and fell down to see which side face up. He asked the team who chose this side to pick the edge, and the team that did not guess will automatically get the kick-off. It does not mean that it is necessary to get the edge picker. Some people prefer to get the ball possession at the beginning of the game, so they prefer the kick-off. Therefore, there is actually nothing to worry about when guessing the result of coin.
But today this situation is different.
It would be fine if Chu Zhongtian wanted to be the captain, and he would not let the right to take the lead. Kevin Cooper was not him. He leaned over and called behind the captain: "Coopers."
When Cooper turned around and found out that it was Chu Zhongtian when he heard someone calling him.
Chu Zhongtian pointed to the side picking tool and said to the captain: "Choose the yellow side."
Cooper glanced at Chu Zhongtian in confusion, but he didn't explain. The referee's inquiry sounded again behind him: "Which side?"
Cooper turned around and hesitated for a moment and said, "Yellow."
Since Cooper chose yellow, the opponent could only choose blue. So the referee didn't ask the captain of the visiting team and threw the edge picker high. He didn't wait for the round "coin" to land. The bottom was full of mud. If it was inserted vertically into the soil, what was that?
So when the coin fell to the right height, the referee decisively took action, intercepted the coin halfway, and held the coin in his palm.
Chu Zhongtian watched from the side. He was not worried that the referee would use the thumb of the hand holding the coin to secretly turn the coin over another side. This is a football novel, not a legend of the god of gambling... This is a pick-up before the game, and there is no need for a cheater in the casino.
He was very confident. After a while, the referee opened his hand, and 85% of the one inside might be yellow and face up.
Sure enough, when the referee took away the palm of his hand that was buckled above, everyone saw the edge picker facing up, lying quietly in the referee's hand.
To be continued...
