Hunter and Hussar

Chapter 110 The Time of Victory
"I know everyone's feelings are very complicated. But we have traveled so far and put in so much effort, isn't it just to be able to enter the final battlefield? Don't hesitate to win the victory, this is the best respect for the opponent , but also respect for ourselves!"

In the past, I might have questioned the steadfastness behind those words, and wondered whether football was really the dream I was chasing.But when the referee blew the final whistle and everyone briefly formed a circle in front of the bench, the coach's final speech before the penalty shootout was the only thing I was sure of at the moment.When the feet really step on the ground, people are naturally guided to the front where they will never turn back.

"I'm going to decide the order of taking the penalty now. Don't put too much pressure on you, just take the penalty normally like training." The coach held his chin with his hand, glanced around sternly, and then the order he spoke made everyone feel uneasy Some surprises.But no one is dissatisfied or complaining, the only thing we have to do is firmly believe that this is the best arrangement.In the desperate struggle, only with the belief of victory can one survive.

"Everyone, don't worry about the penalty. The goalkeeper may not be able to predict, so try to play from an angle, and don't kick in the middle." After telling me again, I walked towards the referee and the captain of science and engineering who were waiting near the sideline.Guess again.Li Tiancheng chose heads, I was tails, and the coin of fate fell heavily without turning much.One penalty first.The three referees explained to Li Tiancheng and me the precautions for the penalty shootout and wished us good luck.After shaking hands one by one, I walked over to No. 14.

"I'm sorry about today's incident."

"Come on."

We spread out.The colleagues from the Polytechnic and I walked towards the left goal, and the rest of the people were divided into two teams, standing side by side on the center line.Perhaps it was the first time for everyone to experience a penalty shootout, tension and excitement fluctuated up and down in their trembling little bodies at the same time.

"Brother, we're going to play the final tomorrow. If it's a penalty shootout, which one do you think you'll be the first to take?"

"Me? It's probably the last one. But I guess it won't be my turn. I must have finished the game long ago."

"Not necessarily. For example, Neuer took penalty kicks in the first five rounds. Everyone always thinks that the goalkeeper will take the penalty at the end. If they go up first and score the penalty, it will definitely improve morale."

"You can say whatever you want. Chirp, squeak, are you annoying?"

"Hey, brother, is he afraid of being punished?"

"No way! You have to be careful, if you don't dare to punish, just let Shi Zhenhua do it!"

"Of course I will be the first one to punish. Ah Hua, he can be the fifth one, let's make a final decision." Xianxian blinked his piercing eyes, and secretly put his hand on my shoulder, "Brother, To be honest, I think you can definitely get a penalty."

"Why?" In order to refute him, I did not hesitate to "belittle myself".

"Because as long as my brother is sure of one thing, he will definitely be able to do it. My brother is such a person." He poked a finger on my cheek and twirled it slightly.

"Hmph, then I'm sure of one thing now, which is to pin you on the bed and beat you up. Can I do it?"

"Well... If my brother wanted to beat me, he would have made up his mind to practice fighting well. But you haven't." He waved that finger in front of my eyes proudly, "Why didn't you go to practice?" What about it? Let me guess...you can't bear to part with me, right? So, brother was lying just now. You little liar, be punished!"

As he said that, his hand was like a flash of lightning, and he quickly scratched my nose.I pursed my mouth, turned over and lay down on the bed, and kicked his waist gently with my foot.Want to drive him away.

"Only you can! Go to sleep! If you don't sleep again, I will call you mother!"

"Okay. But brother, if you are so nervous that you can't sleep, I can come down to sleep with you tonight."

"Shut up! Go up to me!" Kicked twice more.Although later I climbed up.

On the second day, we ended the suspense of the game in three 10 minutes.Xianxian made a red card and scored another wonderful rubbing shot, leaving no chance for the opponent.

Now I have what you have never had, and behind it is too much misfortune.But anyway, I've put the gloves back on.It was kind of wet and I was sweating again, nothing to do with being nervous.The wetness has not penetrated the fingertips, and I believe that the goal I guard will be as stable as mountains and rivers.

"Pretty!"

I, near the white front line and the bottom line, burst into shouts of excitement, and my fluttering ponytail told everyone with a light gesture that we had undisputedly won the victory first.Xu Mu's first appearance may have surprised everyone, but in one go, she kicked the ball into the right side neatly.After making the penalty, he ran back to the middle circle without looking back, without delay, as if he had just completed an easy task.

It's my turn.The first opponent is Li Tiancheng.He missed a couple of chances over the two legs and now stands with the captain's armband on his shoulders in front of me and the woodwork.Without any interaction, he rushed to the ball with solid steps, and his performance was worthy of the responsibility Aziz entrusted to him.A wonderful shot, the ball ran into the dead corner against the post. 1:1, after the first round, the two sides were evenly divided.

The second one to appear was Li Baichuan.He didn't have any superfluous movements, and his run-up distance was very short. He made smart choices. It seemed that he was usually a person who couldn't show his emotions. He had never seen him have too many ups and downs in his emotions.

But how did he hit a half high ball?Before my heart had time to "thump", the ball shot by brother Chuan was thrown out of the door by my colleagues, followed by a deafening roar.The ball is neither high nor low, and the shot is also a little bit straight. As long as the judgment is in the right direction, the goalkeeper will make a pounce.

It is Mo Da's courage to stand in front of the penalty spot without being surprised, let alone shooting is not Brother Chuan's strong point.When he tilted his head and shook his head in frustration, I quickly ran to his side.Nothing, just look at mine.Looking into his dark eyes, I said so.He smiled sadly, hit my back with his hand, and straightened my spine.

"Don't be afraid! There's still me!" Ye Ruiyang's voice came from a distance, Brother Chuan went there, I tiptoed, raised my right arm high towards them, and opened my palm as much as I could Hold the sun in your hands.

No. 8 of Polytechnic is my second opponent.He had a good performance in two rounds.I put the ball on the ground, and I judged the right direction, but the ball got into the goal from my armpit.Maybe it was only a few tenths of a second slower, my body touched it.The score became 1:2.It's like this again, every time a little bit.His palms were turned into fists, and he slammed on the ground unwillingly.

still have a chance!Destiny is still in my own hands.After getting up quickly, Lao Ye had already reached the penalty area line. "Look at mine." He picked up the ball, twirled it against his fingertips a few times, and blew on the ball lightly, and caught it lightly when it was about to fall, making a gesture A stretch to shoot.I watched Lao Ye play basketball a few times before, and turning the ball is his forte.After a series of "pre-movements", Ye Ruiyang put the ball on the turf, took a deep breath, and only took a step back.With almost no run-up, his powerful shot hit the top right corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper had no time to react.

That's what a penalty kick should be!Don't give the other party a chance!After Ye Ruiyang decisively scored the goal, he ran near the bottom line and slammed his palm onto my glove.Through a thick barrier, the numbness brought by the huge force still runs through my arms like an electric current.

The score is back to balance!The third one to come forward is the No. 5 defender of Polytechnic.This time I guessed the right direction, and the ball bounced to the post after I threw it.I held down the rebounding ball at the first time, and when I opened my palm carefully, more than half of the outline of the ball was beyond the goal line.Silently, I stepped on the ball and stood up to look at the referee.After the latter nodded affirmatively, I slowly bent down and hugged it in my arms.The two teams had completely returned to the same starting line, and I stuffed the ball into Luka's arms.He walked from the long midfield line to the door alone, gently combing his somewhat messy chestnut hair with his hands along the way.Sunlight bounced off his curls and shoulders and neck.

"Captain, I will work hard too."

"let's work hard together."

Even at the critical moment, Luca still maintained his seriousness as always. No. 10 put the ball firmly on the penalty spot, retreated outside the penalty area and started a run-up.His footsteps were a little broken, and he kicked a low flat ball.The opposing goalkeeper guessed the direction correctly, and the ball bounced inside the post and into the net.This time it was replaced by another person "beating the ground" in front of the door.After scoring the goal, Luca didn't celebrate much, but covered his chest with his little hand raised up, looking undecided.If he hadn't entered, he would have embraced his still somewhat messy hair with his habitual hand raised to his chest.Little guy, you really can't lie, you should act more confident, so that when you brag in the future, you can still say that you aimed at the post on purpose.This guilty expression can reveal himself at once.I ran up behind him, squeezed his shoulders, and shoved him back to the halfway line—the teammates were waiting to meet the hero who had regained the lead for us.

The pressure is on here.The fourth is No. 11 who came off the bench.He chose to volley vigorously to the top of the goal, probably to give Ye Ruiyang a "response", to regain his momentum, and at the same time he was eager to equalize the score.But just as Pu Yun said, "Painting a tiger is not an anti-dog." Even professional players, not all dare to hit high balls when taking penalty kicks.It is said that "great efforts will produce miracles", but the result is often a skyrocketing cannon.What's more, the goals used by our junior high school students are much shorter than normal goals. Ye Ruiyang's shots take into account both angle and height. Only the left and right upper corners are the sure dead ends.Although this student's shot was suppressed so as not to hit the plane or clouds in the sky, the angle was not controlled properly.After soaring into the air, I slapped the ball down like a fly swatter, without any difficulty or sympathy.The scene was a bit embarrassing, so that I might look at the opponent who lost the point with a blank face. Perhaps such a "not angry and proud" posture has a stronger sense of oppression than passionate celebration.

It was almost four o'clock, and the fresh sunlight flowed like the wind over the breath-holding stadium.The score came to 3:2, and we were only one blow away from advancing to the final.The trump card was saved until the last moment, and the fifth player who took the penalty was often the one who could decide the outcome.We have Huang Minxue, who has scored three penalty kicks in the past two years, and the trade union must have sent Aniwal, who equalized the total score with his big heart at the end of the game.As long as you study and score, the game will end directly.And once I fail to score and Anibal breaks my goal, the penalty shootout will enter the "sudden death" stage, and the two sides will take penalties indefinitely until one side misses.There are only six people left in No. [-], and all five of them have stood on the penalty spot.No doubt, as soon as I got to that stage, I was the first to greet it.

People can't always be just a little bit worse.The masked person walked to the place where he witnessed life and death, and the final fate would drop the hammer of judgment after this shot.Small jump, his usual trick.The winner and loser have already been separated in the short moment of jumping up and down, and the will and strength shot out of a strong and brave heart fully determine the real winner.Before Xuexue's foot touched the ball, the goalkeeper of Science and Technology had already shown signs of a side attack.Under high tension, people will inevitably lose control of their body and spirit.It is enough to hit the ball into the opposite angle. Xuexue's shooting angle is neither tricky nor fast, but it is impossible for a rash opponent to turn himself upside down.It was a very mediocre shot, so ordinary that it is so mediocre in all point shots today, but it may be the most important shot in the history of our school. It sent us to the final decisive battle.

Xuexue grabbed the mask suddenly and threw herself into my arms.I almost want to kiss our little hero. Countless efforts have finally reaped rewards, and history is also created and witnessed by us at this moment.

When I hugged his waist and lifted him up with full of excitement, I suddenly remembered something.The passionate emotion was like throwing pebbles in a pond, and after a short noise, it disappeared without a trace.

I seem to have picked up another person like this today, although it was from behind.

At that time he still wanted to quarrel with me.

Probably noticed my strangeness, Xuexue broke free from my arms.

"Captain, give me the armband. I'll take everyone to shake hands, and you go back to the locker room." He looked at my eyes that were drifting away, "I've been there before. He told me not to tell you. Okay Lah, you go. Take care of him."

I didn't say anything, took off the armband, turned around and ran out of the court.When passing by in a hurry, I found that everyone's celebration was so restrained.The previous teams that had reached the final were either running wild on the field or throwing towels and jerseys into the sky.Everyone just hugged and supported each other, or comforted the opponent who fell to the ground, as if they just won an insignificant victory.

Is the realized ideal no longer an ideal?No, it may be that the price behind this is too heavy, so heavy that the final harvest is not worthy of what is on our hearts.

In fact, I really want to talk to Anival.It's sad that tough fighters don't get the chance to go to war.But I have to go back to the dressing room, maybe it's overdue for me to be there.

"Congratulations."

When I was about to run off the pitch, Aniwar's tall body blocked me like a wall, and he stretched out his thick hands to me again.He blinked tiredly, and the vitality on his face was visibly shed, but the warmth of his palm was sincere.

"Strike." I believe I looked him in the eyes seriously and patted him.Maybe I will meet him again in a while, but definitely not as an opponent.
