Zhou Zijing stood on the court, staring at the opponent's small forward.

It was obviously him who stopped Chen Xingyi at the door of the cafeteria and said what he had always wanted to say.

But why was it this kid who stole the show in the end?

Yes, Zhou Zijing called being scolded by Chen Xingyi on the Internet as "showing off".

He is not afraid of being scolded by Chen Xingyi's fans, and he doesn't even think it's a scolding. He thinks it's a compliment to himself, because he successfully angered those idiot fans of Chen Xingyi.

The so-called enemy's fury and boos are one's best medals.

Zhou Zijing has always thought so.

As a result, within one night, things took a turn for the worse.

The whole Internet was cursing the man who shamelessly admitted that he was more powerful than Chen Xingyi, but they forgot about him as the instigator...

How can I bear this?

Now looking at No. 14 of Dongchuan Middle School, Zhou Zijing snorted.

Finally, he no longer needs to talk. He can defeat this bastard face to face in the quarter-finals of this national competition and tell him that he is the only one qualified to challenge Chen Xingyi.

As for Chen Xingyi saying that this person is better than him...then he will also use his actual performance in this game to tell Chen Xingyi: Although you are good at football, your vision is too poor. It is clear that I am the one who is better than you.

people!

Thinking of this, Zhou Zijing withdrew his gaze and prepared to start the game.

The referee blew the whistle, Hu Lai passed the football directly to the backcourt, and the quarter-finals of the 7th National Competition began!

※※※

Chu Yifan stood in the stadium stands with his roommates.

This game was played on the natural grass football field of Nanshan University.

They don't have to go to other schools to watch games, but they still have to take the school's dedicated shuttle bus to come here from their dormitory and the West End, where classes are held.

In order to watch this game, he and his roommates took the shuttle bus directly to the east side of the school after lunch.

We arrived on the court more than an hour before the game started.

Although neither team from the participating teams had arrived at that time, there were already many people sitting in the stands.

When they arrived, they also saw that the television broadcast agency was setting up camera positions, and there were some people who looked like reporters at the scene.

As the national competition approaches the finals, it has attracted more and more attention.

He still remembers the first game between Dongchuan Middle School and Renmin Middle School. Most of the stands were empty.

Now, in the quarter-finals of the national competition, half an hour before the start of the game, the stands are basically full, and more people can only stand on the steps and corridors.

"Oh, the quarter-finals are really different from the first round!" His roommates couldn't help but sigh when they saw this scene.

"That's right, after all, if we win one more game, we will be the semi-finals, the semi-finals."

"Hey, Da Chu, you just stopped in the quarter-finals last year, right?"

Chu Yifan nodded.

In last year's national competition, Dongchuan Middle School ran into Shanhai Chongwen Middle School, which made a comeback after realizing its shame and courage, but was ultimately eliminated.

"If you can pass Qingyang No. 1 High School this time, you might still have to meet someone from Chongwen Middle School in the semifinals..." his roommates reminded him.

Chu Yifan smiled and shook his head: "I didn't think that far ahead. I will first be able to defeat the opponent in front of me..."

As if to prove what he said, before he finished speaking, Qingyang, who was attacking, shot a high shot.

Zhou Zijing hit the goal with a heavy kick from the edge of the penalty area, causing Meng Xi to let go during the save. Fortunately, Mao Xiao reacted quickly and quickly kicked the football that fell at his feet directly out of the baseline, preventing Qingyang from giving it a high kick.

opportunity to shoot.

But even so, there was a burst of exclamations from the stands.

"Wow...it seems that this Qingyang Yigao is really not easy to deal with..."

※※※

Zhou Zijing, who failed to score, put his head in his hands and looked very regretful.

But he quickly turned to Hu Lai and looked at him provocatively.

It's just that Hu Lai didn't look at him at all...so he squeezed to the goal again to prepare for the corner kick.

Qingyang Yigao's corner kick came out, and Zhou Zijing once again grabbed the opportunity to header in front of the goal. However, this time his header was directly high and flew out of the baseline due to the interference of Mao Xiao.

"ah--!"

Meng Xi was startled by a sudden shout from beside him. He turned around and saw the opponent's No. 9 center Zhou Zijing, looking up to the sky and roaring.

He glared at the other person with disgust, but the latter didn't notice it at all. He clenched his hands into fists, gritted his teeth, turned around and ran away.

※※※

"Zhou Zijing is very active. Looking at his performance, it is hard to believe that this is his first time participating in a national competition. He scored an astonishing 19 goals in the Ningtian Provincial Qualifiers at the end of last year and won the best

shooter. And now he has brought his crazy scoring momentum in the qualifiers to the national competition. In the first two games, he has scored five goals and currently ranks first in the scorer list..."

In the canteen of the Asian Games Village, Chen Xingyi was watching the quarter-final match between Dongchuan Middle School and Qingyang No. 1 High School on his mobile phone.

There were only some cold leftovers on the plate in front of him. The Dawn High School game kicked off at 7:30 in the evening, so their dinner time was also advanced, so that there would be enough time for the players to finish the meal.

They need to digest. And even so, don’t eat too much to avoid indigestion.

There is no need for the head coach or team leader to remind them of this. As a team that has won two national championships, everyone knows this common sense.

Chen Xingyi didn't eat much for dinner, and now his eyes were fixed on the screen of his mobile phone.

Ten minutes into the game, the score is still 0:0.

Some teammates noticed Chen Xingyi's actions, came up to watch, and then said in surprise: "Isn't that right, Team Chen? Do you really regard these two people as your opponents?"

Chen Xingyi raised his head and responded: "What if one of them really reaches the finals?"

The teammates next to them showed an incredulous expression: "How is that possible? If nothing happens next, they will encounter Chongwen Middle School. Neither Dongchuan Middle School nor Qingyang No. 1 High School can pass the test of Chongwen Middle School.

Dongchuan Middle School was eliminated by Chongwen Middle School last term..."

Chen Xingyi thought for a moment and then nodded: "You're right. But anyway, I have nothing to do, so I'll just take a look."

The teammates thought for a while and felt that what the captain said was right, so they came over to continue watching the game. When Chen Xingyi saw this, he took off his headphones and changed them to external speakers.

After only watching for a few minutes, this teammate exclaimed: "Qingyang Yigao's offensive is so fierce. Is that Zhou Zijing?"

At the same time, the voice of the commentator came from the speaker of the mobile phone: "... Qingyang Yigao just completed another shot. Their center Zhou Zijing headed the goal. The ball was missed by Dongchuan Middle School goalkeeper Meng Xi.

Hold him directly in his arms..."

"Yes." Chen Xingyi said. "This Zhou Zijing does have two skills. No wonder he ranks first in the scorer list."

"Captain Chen, are you saying that you are a little too ambitious? He is your competitor on the scorer list..."

"What's the point? I can't even praise him enough for the Golden Boot." Chen Xingyi shrugged. "Besides, I'm not sure whether he can continue on."

"I think the momentum of Qingyang No. 1 High School is hard to predict. If Zhou Zijing can continue his previous form, maybe Dongchuan Middle School will be eliminated?" Teammates have different opinions.

Faced with everyone's different opinions, Chen Xingyi did not refute, but smiled and continued to watch the game.

Everyone is talking a lot, and the competition ahead does not stop for a moment.

Qingyang Yigao launched another attack. This time their attack hit the left side of the frontcourt. When the assisting left back tried to single out Dongchuan Middle School right back Wang Junchao, the ball was interrupted by the latter.

Wang Junchao, who successfully intercepted the ball, handed the football to Chen Rui, who came up to meet him, and then sprinted forward!

Chen Rui passed the football to Xia Xiaoyu, who was closest to him.

Facing the Qingyang Yigao player who came up to tackle, Xia Xiaoyu passed the football to Tang Yuan on the wing.

After passing the ball, he turned around and continued to move forward. Tang Yuan waited for him to turn around and passed the football diagonally to the front of where he was running.

After a one-two, Dongchuan Middle School's offense quickly passed through the midfield and went straight to Qingyang No. 1 High School's backcourt!

The cheers in the stands suddenly grew louder, interrupting the discussion among the Shuguang High School players at the table.

Everyone turned their attention to the small mobile phone screen.

"Dongchuan Middle School's counterattack opportunity!"

※※※

After Xia Xiaoyu received the pass from Tang Yuan, he took it straight towards the opponent's penalty area without hesitation.

At the same time, both Tang Yuan and Wang Junchao were running wildly on the wing, leaving Qingyang Yigao's left back behind.

As the Qingyang No.1 High School midfielder who stepped forward to tackle was passed by Xia Xiaoyu and Tang Yuan in a one-two, another Qingyang No.1 High School midfielder returned diagonally to defend, trying to catch up with Xia Xiaoyu.

Qingyang Yigao's defense also quickly made adjustments. The left center back quickly pounced on the path of Xia Xiaoyu dribbling the ball - which is the left rib of the penalty area.

The right center back, the team's captain Wu Xiaodong, moved towards the center, and at the same time, he did not forget to take a look at the situation behind him - forward No. 14 and No. 9 from Dongchuan Middle School rushed towards the penalty area at the same time.

But fortunately, the team's right back has quickly returned to the center, and the defense is in place. The defensive problem in the center is not big...

After confirming this, he turned his attention to Xia Xiaoyu.
