Chapter 32: Experimental High School gives up the game? No. in the scorer list
"I called you here so late because I have something to tell you."

He Qiongshan stood in the middle of the team's locker room, surrounded by a circle of players from the Qingshan Middle School football team. From the starters to the substitutes, all of them were here without exception.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Yushuo asked first, frowning. The atmosphere at the scene was a little cold, and it felt like something bad had happened.

But when I think about it, there shouldn’t be any problems with the team now, I just don’t know what He Qiongshan wants to do.

"Tomorrow our opponent in the quarterfinals, Experimental Middle School, they f*cking gave up the game..."

"What!?"

More than 20 team members in the equipment room shouted in unison. They were all very surprised by the result.

We were fighting well, why do you want to stop playing?

Among them, Jiang Yuan, who was reborn, was the most surprised one. He remembered that Experimental Middle School not only participated in the top 8 competition, but also defeated Qingshan Middle School.

Now you don't want to kick at all?
With doubts in his heart, Jiang Yuan asked: "Coach He, why didn't they play anymore?"

He Qiongshan sighed first, then said: "Two main players were injured, and three main players have the flu..."

"???"

Chen Yushuo, who was sitting next to Jiang Yuan, asked, "When I watched the game, the players from Experimental Middle School didn't seem to be injured. Why can't they play?"

"It wasn't an injury during the game. It was about 2 hours after we played against the group of heroes today. Two main players from the Experimental Middle School sprained their ankles during training."

He Qiongshan also frowned as he spoke. To be honest, he was not much less shocked than the players.

"What about the flu?"

Jiang Yuan stood up.

"It's a good thing for us that they give up. Jiang Yuan, calm down and sit down first."

He Qiongshan pushed Jiang Yuan back onto the bench and said, "According to the notice from the Experimental Middle School, their three main players actually had the flu a long time ago. They were only discovered this afternoon when they had a fever. Now they have body aches and can't even run."

"..."

There was silence in the equipment room.

"This is the provincial super league. Will their school agree to the football team giving up the game?"

Jiang Yuan asked.

He Qiongshan nodded: "I have a college classmate who teaches in the experimental school. He told me that the experimental school has never entered the knockout stage. This year's record is created. The school is very satisfied. The leaders just hope that the players will not get injured and strive to achieve better results next year."

"All right……"

Jiang Yuan nodded.

Although the notice said that the main players were injured, Jiang Yuan felt that Experimental Middle School's withdrawal from the game was probably related to today's game.

Because once they gave up the game, Experimental Middle School would be directly sentenced to a 0:3 loss, and Qingshan Middle School would get three goals without even having to play.

"Okay, don't think too much. I'm here to emphasize some precautions when dealing with Wangdao Middle School. You can also call it a tactic."

He Qiongshan interrupted everyone's thoughts.

"We also met Wangdao in the semi-finals last year. Does anyone remember the score at that time?"

"2:1"

The person who answered was Yang Rui. He was in his second year of high school at that time and was a quasi-main midfielder in the provincial competition that year.

"That's right. From this score, we can see that the gap in strength between us and Wangdao is not that big. So, if we want to win, it won't be that easy. I need you to be mentally prepared for this."

"Remember, we have a damn reason to win this year!"

He Qiongshan's voice became louder and louder. As for the so-called "reason for winning", it was because Qingshan Middle School was the home court for the semi-finals.

If we lose, it's not a loss at home.

But we really lost the game at home!
"We are in the upper half, and will start the semifinals one day earlier than the lower half. And that day is Monday, so I hope you guys can go back to school earlier this weekend so we can play a low-intensity training match to get back in shape..."

...After the tactical meeting ended, Jiang Yuan and Lou Junhao stayed until the end in tacit understanding.

The equipment room was very quiet at night. Finally, Lou Junhao broke the silence: "Brother Yuan, just pretend I never said anything before."

The previous matter was of course referring to asking Jiang Yuan not to pass the ball to Jin Junjie, which would lower his overall performance in the game.

Now that Qingshan Middle School has secured its place in the top four, Lou Junhao, as a key player, no longer has to worry about not getting a first-level certificate.

"It doesn't matter, just keep working hard later"

Jiang Yuan smiled. In fact, he didn't care about this matter at all. He just kept kicking as usual.

"You don't blame me?"

Lou Junhao raised his head, his face full of shock.

"Why should I blame you? You performed very well in the game and tried your best. And I saw that you were more active in passing the ball to Jin Junjie than I was!"

Jiang Yuan said with a smile, he was right, compared to himself who was always rushing on the left side, Lou Junhao on the right side did give Jin Junjie more opportunities.

If this were not the case, Jiang Yuan would have gone to Lou Junhao to ask for an explanation long ago.

Hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Lou Junhao smiled: "Hahaha, it's true that I didn't want to pass the ball at first, but then I thought, you are right, as long as we make it to the finals, there will be nothing to worry about, so I just let go!"

"Come on, there are only two games left, we can't lose any!"

Jiang Yuan stood up, patted Lou Junhao on the back, and walked outside.

"We can't lose a single game!"

Lou Junhao repeated what Jiang Yuan said, and the two walked side by side towards the dormitory.

"Brother Hao, do you think I didn't pass the ball to Jin Junjie enough?"

"What's the big deal? You're so powerful on one side, and you're just passing the ball!"

"That's right..."

"Hey, Brother Yuan, do you know that you are now number one on the scorer list?"

"Hahaha, I remember I already have 6 goals, right?"

"The second one now has 5 goals. He may score more goals after the semi-finals. Don't let him overtake you by then, because you have penalties. The second one is Xiong Xu from Shishan Middle School. He hasn't had a penalty yet."

"Wait"

As they were walking, Jiang Yuan suddenly stopped, leaving Lou Junhao confused.

"Brother Yuan, what's wrong?"

Jiang Yuan frowned, licked his lips, and then said, "Do you think there is any relationship between the surrender of Experimental Middle School and the ranking of the scorer list?"

"Fuck, Brother Yuan, this is indeed possible!"

Lou Junhao widened his eyes, not saying that it was possible, but that the probability was very high.

If Jiang Yuan plays one less game, his one-goal advantage at the top of the scorer list will probably be gone.

"What should we do, Brother Yuan?"

Lou Junhao was worried about Jiang Yuan. Qingshan Middle School had won the provincial super league championship many times in history, but no player from Qingshan Middle School had ever won the provincial super league golden boot.

This year, Jiang Yuan was temporarily leading the scorer list, but then this happened.

"fine!"

Jiang Yuan shook his head.

"I can score more goals than they think"
