The first official match of the new Cuju competition finally came to an end. In the end, the Huangtian team led by Wang Da and Wang Yi entered the sudden death stage in the penalty shootout. With the outstanding performance of Wang Da and Wang Yi,
, successfully won the game and defeated the grassroots team led by Chen Chen. The winner takes all, and the loser retires. No matter what, if you lose, you lose, and there is a certain strength gap between the grassroots team and the Huangtian team. For this
As a result, almost everyone thought about it at first, especially the hundreds of people who came to watch the game. Most of them bought the football lottery tickets for the Huangtian team's victory. They all made a lot of money today, so they
They all left the field with smiles and very happy hearts.
The Huangtian Team and the Grassroots Team exited together. The first to leave was Zhao Zhen and his team of officials. When Wang Da and Wang Yi left the Bird's Nest with the Huangtian Team, they met Zhao Zhen who stayed behind.
An official came with Zhao Zhen’s order and passed on the emperor’s oral instructions, saying that Zhao Zhen was very happy that the Huangtian team won today, and then told them to go back and continue to train hard to prepare for the second round of competition.
Of course, there are naturally rewards for them in this oral instruction. Among them, Wang Da, Wang Yi and goalkeeper Zhou Zhe received the most rewards. After all, throughout the game, the Huangtian team played the most stable and outstanding three players.
They are the ones personally. All other members of the Royal Sky Team also have some rewards.
After thanking the emperor for his grace, the Huangtian team did not choose to return directly to their resting place in the palace. On the contrary, the nearly three hours of competition made them feel physically and mentally exhausted, and they were in a state of ravenous hunger.
Wang Da just accepted the reward. He looked at his team members. In any case, winning today's game is something worthy of joy and celebration. You must know that if they lose today, what awaits them
It's not a reward, maybe it will be some kind of punishment. Therefore, all the members of the Huangtian Team will not care about the reward. Looking at the hungry team members, Wang Da spoke and prepared to take these more than ten people to Fan
Lou Hao gave him a good meal, so naturally Wang Da and Wang Yi were the guests.
The members of the Emperor's Team were naturally very happy. What was more important to them was that they received the emperor's evaluation of their game. Before the official announced the emperor's reward, these players were still full of anxiety.
.Although they won the game, looking back now, the grassroots team still posed a great threat to the Huangtian team. The rhythm of the entire game was not controlled by the Huangtian team. It can be said that the grassroots team almost defeated the Huangtian team.
was defeated. Therefore, although he won the game in the end, no one knew what the emperor was thinking. There might be no reward or punishment. However, the final result was still good. The emperor rewarded everyone and left them hanging.
My heart felt relieved.
Although the Huangtian team has the convenience of a training ground that the other seven teams do not have, they do not take credit for it, nor do they say they are lazy and do not train. In fact, only a few members of the predecessor Royal Cuju team are now in the Huangtian team.
More than half of the players who won the game were not members of the Royal Cuju Team before, but were new players brought over by Wang Da and Wang Yi. Naturally, the audience who came to watch the game did not know this. In their view, this Royal Cuju team
The predecessor of the team is the Royal Cuju Team. There is nothing to defend. Therefore, for these new players, their foundation is actually the same as the members of the grassroots team. The reason why the strength of the Huangtian Team today is stronger than that of the grassroots team is that
Because Wang Da and Wang Yi are very strict about training on weekdays, even if they get the benefits of the palace training ground, they do not relax their vigilance and still let everyone train normally, so they have such good tactical coordination and overall
Improvement in strength. Naturally, the players who were formerly members of the Royal Cuju team are also stronger in the team. The two players who replaced Wang Da and Wang Yi in starting penalty kicks were also formerly members of the Royal Cuju team.
Therefore, Wang Da and Wang Yi are not inferior to Chen Chen in terms of tactics. Judging from the training and the seriousness with which the players take the game, the Huangtian team is also worthy of this victory.
The members of the Huangtian Team followed Wang Da out of the Bird's Nest Stadium with bursts of cheers. Wang Da got the reward, and naturally he became very generous in his actions. He directly rented two carriages and took the players straight to the inner city.
Leave Fan Lou.
The moment the carriage set off, Chen Chen and the members of the grassroots team also left the Bird's Nest. Chen Chen happened to see Wang Da and the others cheering for joy.
Originally, Chen Chen planned to take the members of the grassroots team to have a meal. After all, after three hours of competition, the players were very physically exhausted. However, after the idea of having a meal appeared in Chen Chen's mind,
He doesn't want to do this. Everyone's mood is not high. Even if we organize a group to go to dinner now, I'm afraid no one will be in the mood to eat a lot.
A group of team members left the Bird's Nest Stadium and followed Chen Chen as they walked aimlessly through the streets of the outer city.
However, they still have to make a decision quickly, otherwise when the people start to leave the field, they will probably be surrounded and ask questions non-stop. This is all at best, and those viewers who look down on the grassroots teams may even
He would be rude, but Chen Chen had no intention of refuting the opponent now. He was the winner and the loser. If he lost the game, he would have to bear the insults from the audience. This was natural.
Lu Yang and Luo Wen looked at each other, and Luo Wen spoke first. He said that he wanted to go home and have a good rest. Tomorrow, everyone would have to go to work at Lu Yao's bank.
One person took the lead, and other members of the grassroots team also joined in. It seemed that they were not in the mood to have a meal together. Seeing this, Chen Chen did not do much to persuade him, saying that everyone was too tired today.
Go back and have a good meal, get some more rest, and then go to work at the bank tomorrow.
So, in the midst of saying goodbye, the members of the grassroots team left lonely and went their separate ways. Fortunately, their team was not dispersed. Except for Chen Chen, the other team members would go to work at the bank tomorrow. As long as Chen Chen was willing
, we can still see them, which is good news for Chen Chen.
After everyone had dispersed, Chen Chen stood alone. At this time, the number of people at the entrance of the Bird's Nest Stadium gradually began to increase. Obviously, the audience began to disperse. Chen Chen thought someone would talk to him, so he
He deliberately found a corner position that was not too conspicuous and watched the spectators leaving. Not that Chen Chen really wanted to be recognized or questioned. The main reason was that his father, Lao Chen, was watching from the sidelines today.
The whole game. No matter how old I am, I am always a child in front of my parents. I lost the game today. It was a major setback for a young man like Chen Chen. Because this grassroots team can be said to have cost Chen Chen a lot of time.
After putting all his effort into it, he thought he had a chance to defeat the Huangtian team, and Chen Chen, who saw his father cheering on the sidelines, tried his best to win the game. However, things didn't go as planned.
, the final result was that the grassroots team lost the game, and Chen Chen was psychologically hit hard. He originally wanted to wait here, look for his father, and then try to find some comfort. However, in addition to hearing
The common people communicated with each other about how much money they made in football lottery through this game, but they did not find their father. In fact, some spectators walked past them without recognizing Chen Chen.
Maybe it's because Chen Chen has changed out of his team uniform.
Maybe his father was old, and he felt uncomfortable after the grassroots team lost, so Chen Chen continued to wait until the crowd gradually subsided, and finally everyone had left the Bird's Nest Stadium. Chen Chen still didn't notice his father.
figure.
He recalled that in fact, since the penalty shootout started, Chen Chen had not looked towards the audience again, and he had no way to determine whether his father had left the field early. When facing a situation where he was destined to lose,
Chen Chen thought that if he were a father, he would probably leave early.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then started walking towards his home.
At this time, Lu Yao, Zhe Kexing, Su Shi, Su Zhe and the referee trio were the only ones left in the Bird's Nest Stadium. Lu Yao said that he would invite everyone to have a meal at Jiuzhongxian, but before leaving the Bird's Nest, Lu Yao
Yao also held a small meeting for these people.
After all, this is only the first game. Although there are only eight participating teams in this new Cuju competition, the number of games is not very small, so the commentators and referees must pay attention to this aspect, because this game is not like modern football.
, the commentators and referees will be changed in every game, and in this Cuju competition, they will be the only commentators and referees throughout the whole process. Therefore, the first point Lu Yao said is to let them maintain their integrity.
Due to their physical condition, the commentators must pay attention to protecting their throats. Lu Yao himself has made some throat-protecting drinks in private and said that he will send Tangxi to deliver them to them tomorrow.
Naturally, the referee didn’t need to say much. Bao Zheng said that as long as every game didn’t last as long as today, his physical strength could still keep up. Gongsun Ce, who stuttered, was a little worried about Qi Zhan Zhao’s physical strength.
, after all, as side referees, he and Bao Zheng can only be tired for an hour at most. Once the game enters the penalty shootout stage, Zhan Zhao is the only referee on the field, and they will all be resting afterwards.
Lu Yao was also a little worried about this. Although Zhan Zhao was still trying to say that he had no problem at first, after being questioned by Lu Yao and others, he still said that he was actually a little confused during the penalty shootout. So.
Lu Yao made adjustments. Originally, the amount of running of the referee should be similar to that of the players. When it came to the penalty shootout, the physical strength of these ancient people was naturally not comparable to that of modern football players, so Lu Yao set a distance.
Once the game reaches a penalty shootout, the person with better physical strength among the three will be the referee. After all, it is not that tiring to decide a penalty kick, and Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce both know what to do after watching today's game.
The judgment is correct.
Bao Zheng was the first to agree. After all, he had been unhappy because he could not be the referee.
So, the refereeing matters are settled.
Next is the commentary aspect, which is what Lu Yao is most worried about. In this first game, the three people can be said to have tried their best to commentate. This is naturally also because Zhao Zhen was present to watch the game, and except for the last one
Except for the finals, Zhao Zhen does not need to be present. However, anyone's throat will feel a little uncomfortable after three hours of commentary, and the schedule is relatively tight. They only have one day of rest, and the day after tomorrow
Sometimes they have to commentate on the game between the Fan Lou team and the Tigers, which is an excessive drain on their throats.
Lu Yao was thinking about whether there was any way to solve this problem. At this time, Katsuki Zhejiang put forward his own idea. He said, why not find the leader of other teams, or like Chen Chen, the team that has no subsequent games to take the lead
What about people to commentate? In this way, there will not always be three of them on the commentary stage. For example, a combination of Su Shi and the leaders of the two teams can be used to commentate on the game. In this way, the three people will rotate
After enough rest time, the three of them will give commentary until the finals.
Lu Yao slapped his forehead and thought it was a good idea. Take Chen Chen for example, although the grassroots team has been eliminated, his understanding and enthusiasm for Cuju has not diminished. As long as he has ideas about tactics and understands the essence of Cuju, he can
You can appear on the commentary desk as a commentator. As the game progresses, the leaders of the eliminated teams and even the core players can appear on the commentary desk. This is a very good way to ease these three commentators.
pressure.
Su Shi and Su Che both expressed satisfaction, because when there are other professionals on the commentary stage, they are mainly responsible for the atmosphere team and can talk less. Why not?
Therefore, Lu Yao asked Zhe Kexing to go to Chen Chen tomorrow to settle the commentary for the next game. Zhe Kexing was still a little worried about Chen Chen's condition, but Lu Yao was very confident that Chen Chen would agree.
After settling these two issues, the meeting ended. The Bird's Nest Stadium also became completely quiet. Lu Yao then took the group of people on a carriage driven by Tangxi and rushed to Jiuzhongxian.
Chen Chen didn't know how he walked home. It was not completely dark at this time. Chen Chen walked all the way. He didn't know whether it was because he was in a low mood or because of excessive physical exertion. Chen Chen actually felt a little hungry. But then, Chen Chen
He cursed himself secretly, "Do you still have the nerve to eat after losing the game?"
After returning home, Chen Chen went directly into a small house at home, which was used as a warehouse by Chen Chen. Then, Chen Chen took out the team uniform from the package. He looked carefully at the team uniform representing the captain of the grassroots team.
, and then throw it in the warehouse, which means saying goodbye to it, and it is estimated that it will never be taken out again.
"Why did you throw away such a beautiful team uniform? Keep it as a lesson. Every time you see it in the future, you will be reminded of today's failure. This is right."
Old Chen's voice came from behind Chen Chen. His words made Chen Chen a little unhappy. Originally, when he was near the Bird's Nest Stadium, Chen Chen originally wanted to find where his father was and then tell him about his depression. Unexpectedly,
, my father actually saw that his team was about to lose, so he left the Bird's Nest Stadium first, and now he is preaching to himself here again.
However, Chen Chen still listened to his father's advice and did not throw away the team uniform in his hand. He left the warehouse and locked the door. Old Chen waved and said: "While it's still dark, come in and eat. Your mother and I will come back early today."
Just to make you something delicious, you must be starving after working on the game for almost two hours."
After saying that, Lao Chen walked towards the house.
This sentence alone cleared up Chen Chen's misunderstanding about his father. After hearing what he said, Chen Chen felt that he was indeed a little hungry, so he didn't reply.
After a while, the family of three began to eat dinner. During this period, the three of them did not speak. Chen Chen just kept eating, trying to forget what happened before by chewing.
After the meal, Chen's mother put away the dishes and chopsticks. Old Chen looked at Chen Chen who was full, and then said: "What I just said was actually what Mr. Lu Yao asked me to tell you. He thought you might
I didn’t believe you were going to give up the sport of Cuju after this game, but when I saw you trying to throw away your team uniform, I was sure of it, so I stopped you.”
Chen Chen was a little surprised. From the end of the game to now, Chen Chen had not found Lu Yao. He originally thought that even if Lu Yao was busy, given his relationship with Lu Yao, he would come to comfort him. Even if Lu Yao was
The actual organizer of the new Cuju competition, the emperor, also came to watch the competition, but in that case, he could also let Tangxi come and say a few words to him.
However, Lu Yao didn't say anything, and Chen Chen could understand. After all, he lost the game, and in the penalty shootout, his mentality collapsed. Lu Yao could clearly see that, even if he was because of his performance today,
It's understandable not to let him be Lu Yao's housekeeper.
However, after hearing what his father said, Chen Chen knew that Lu Yao still cared about him very much.
Seeing Chen Chen's surprised expression, Old Chen continued: "Master Lu Yao is the organizer of this competition. He doesn't have so much time to talk to you specifically. He still has many things to deal with. Don't talk about it yet, I
It was only after arriving at the scene today that I was completely convinced by Mr. Lu Yao. He must be such a smart person to be able to create such a venue and hold such a beautiful game. You and I are both the right people.
Already."
Chen Chen nodded and said, "What else did Mr. Lu Yao tell you?"
Lao Chen said: "He said, let you have a good rest, and after a week, go to the Lu Mansion to find him and be his housekeeper."
These words can be said to be reassurance for Chen Chen. Obviously, Lu Yao did not kick him out because of his ugly behavior today, but still made him his butler.
Chen Chen was very moved, and Lao Chen continued: "Master Lu Yao said that you are a little younger than him, and it is a good thing to encounter such a thing when you are young. Your performance today actually did not make him
How surprised, after all, this is the first time you have suffered such a big blow. He hopes that you will not have such an expression again until you encounter something in the future."
Hearing this, Chen Chen could no longer control his emotions. The sadness and unwillingness he had been holding in his heart completely burst out at this moment on the playing field and on the way home. He lay on the table
Cried loudly.
"I really want to lead my team to play more games. I really want to win this game."
Sure enough, it is easy for people to show their most vulnerable side in front of their parents. Old Chen and Chen's mother sighed when they looked at their children.
Lao Chen stood up and said calmly, "I understand."
Compared with Chen Chen's sad mood, Lu Yao is now having a good time with the referee team and the commentary team in a drunken atmosphere.
Overall, today's Cuju competition was very successful. Although it was indeed a pity that Chen Chen failed to win the final victory, Lu Yao also felt a little sad for Chen Chen. However, as the organizer of the competition, today's competition
It can be said that it was very successful. The most important thing is that in front of the emperor Zhao Zhen, Lu Yao showed him the charm of the new Cuju. This charm not only comes from the team and players, but also from the commentators and referees.
There were also spectators at the scene. Zhao Zhen enjoyed watching it very much, and he was very satisfied with the result. The most important thing is that by holding this event, Lu Yao completely shut up the officials who usually dislike him. From now on.
Now that he has entered the court, this competition can also become a source of conversation for him. Therefore, overall, Lu Yao is still very happy today.
Naturally, the two teams of commentators and referees were also very capable today. Lu Yao will have to rely on them more in the future, so today he treated them to hot pot at Jiuzhongxian. The group was very impressed with this new style created by Lu Yao.
He was very interested in the catering project, and Su Shi even said that he would go to Lu Yao's hotpot restaurant when it opened. However, considering that he was short of money, Su Shi naturally had to drag Bao Zheng and the others along.
Therefore, the dinner lasted until very late. Before the end, Lu Yao talked to Su Shi and Su Zhe about their previous imperial examinations. It was obvious that both of them were very confident about their results. It seemed that they would be successful in the imperial examination.
Among them, Lu Yao will also meet the two of them.
After sending these people away, Lu Yao took advantage of the wine and went back home with Tangxi.
