Chapter 1957 Boys Will Never Grow Up

Every player of the Dongchuan Middle School football team who came to Chu Yifan's house would show a surprised expression when they saw that there were too many girls in the room.

Then after Yan Yan introduced to everyone that this was his colleague, their eyes became ambiguous.

Although they didn't say anything and their conversation was normal, how could Yan Yan not know what they were thinking?

I can only look back with blank eyes.

Then he lowered his head and explained to Jiang Yin on WeChat: "Those people are like this, don't take it to heart!"

Jiang Yin also bowed her head back to him: "How come? You really deserve to be Hu Lai's teammate!"

"Ah? How do you say that?" Yan Yan was very strange.

"Because it's all very interesting! It really is the same as the legendary Hu Lai!"

Yan Yan: "...you can just say that you are cheap..."

The girl returned him with a smirk covering her mouth.

When the takeaway is ready, so are the people.

Everyone sat down and started eating dinner.

During the meeting, they talked about many topics.

As a "newcomer" who participated in this kind of gathering for the first time, Jiang Yin was relatively silent at first, or rather reserved.

After a few glasses of wine, coupled with the atmosphere, it also became active. Frequently ask Hu Lai's alumni and teammates about the past gossip.

Those past events, in fact, we don't talk much about them anymore - because we talked too many times.

But this time a newcomer came, and everyone naturally talked about the past with great interest.

From when Hu Lai just entered the school team until he left school to join the Poseidon youth team.

From their different perspectives, everyone told those past events vividly and interestingly, as if making people revisit the first volume of "Fox in the Forbidden Area".

After eating, everyone moved to the living room, turned on the game console, and started the repertoire before the game—the football game.

This time it is natural to use the Chinese team and the England team to compete.

Everyone rotates, and whoever uses the Chinese team and who uses the England team is determined by guessing.

There were also those who drank too much and were already lying on the sofa and snoring.

Those who smoke go to the balcony outside the living room, smoke, and close the glass sliding door to obtain an independent "smoking area".

Jiang Yin observed all this curiously.

Until Tang Xiuyuan's question interrupted her: "What are you looking at?"

"Ah?" Jiang Yin came back to her senses, and explained with some embarrassment, "I think they have a really good relationship... After graduating from high school for so many years, everyone is still the same as when they were in school..."

When she said this, Yan Yan, who lost the game with the Chinese team, was booed: "Old Yan, your level is too good!"

"What kind of food? I'm helping the Chinese team save their character!"

"Hey, does the archbishop still need to save character?"

"You guys don't understand, this is a necessary ceremony!" Yan Yan explained.

"Day, food is food!"

Looking at this group of men fighting and fighting, Tang Xiuyuan said with a smile: "Men are always like children who can't grow up..."

"So Hu Lai is like this too!" Jiang Yin figured out a problem.

That's why Hu Lai is always so... "special temperament".

Tang Xiuyuan smiled and said nothing, neither affirming Jiang Yin's statement nor denying it.

The two turned their gazes to the yelling men again.

Then I saw that in the game, England striker Marvin Stones broke into the penalty area, and was knocked to the ground by the defender Qin Qi of the Chinese team!

The referee blew his whistle decisively and awarded a penalty kick!

The men shouted louder:

"My day! Is this okay?"

"System Bureau!"

"Qin Qi sent another point... Absolutely! Did he get a penalty kick?"

"Meng Xi, don't push it!" Yan Yan instructed Meng Xi, who was in charge of the Chinese team.

Meng Xi looked wronged: "I didn't push! I just pressed the push button... Does this game have the same hidden attributes as "The Godfather of Champions"? Qin Qi's filth is full value?"

"You can't hold down the press button all the time. This generation is very strict in the judgment of the press in the penalty area. If you move your hands, you may be called a foul..." Mao Xiao next to him explained.

Meng Xi reacted: "Do you want to be so real? When I defend, I always press the pressing button..."

"It's just to prevent players like you from mindlessly pressing the press button while defending."

After everyone laughed at Meng Xi, it was time for penalty kicks.

"This is my specialty!" Meng Xi said while turning around and putting the handle on the outside of his body.

Chen Rui, who was controlling the England team, also made the same move. Neither of them wanted to be seen by the other party in the direction of the joystick.

Then they make choices at the same time!

In the game, Pete Williams shot the football into the bottom right corner of the goal, while Mengxi threw himself in the exact opposite direction!

When the football flew into the net, everyone began to laugh at Meng Xi too much.

Meng Xi defended himself and said: "Oh! This is a game, and there is a delay in the control of the game! If I were to keep the goal, Chen Rui would definitely not want to kick the ball in!"

"Hey!" Yan Yan yelled, "Let's train next weekend, and then you and Chen Rui will be singled out on penalties!"

Others also booed: "I also apply to play!"

"Let's give Meng Xi a penalty kick!"

After everyone was laughing and joking around, someone suddenly said: "If we use the Chinese team to play against the England team, it can't reflect the true level of the two teams. The reason why the Chinese team can win against England is because the players have good skills... Why don't we just let the computer simulate the match between the two teams and let's see the result?"

His proposal was quickly followed by others.

So began to set the lineup of the Chinese team.

Because there are still a few hours before the game, the starting lists of both sides have not yet been released, and everyone can only guess based on their own experience.

Guessing the starting list is actually a kind of fun.

Everyone has no objection to the offensive lineup in the frontcourt, and it must be the strongest lineup that can be deployed.

But there were differences in the backcourt.

Some people think that Qin Qi's performance in the last 20 minutes of the game against Nigeria was remarkable, and that Dillon should start him instead of Liu Yan in this game.

But some people took Qin Qi's performance in the game just now as an example, thinking that Qin Qi's performance was unstable, and it was impossible for Dillon to start a young central defender who was only 20 years old in such an important game. That would be a huge pressure on Qin Qi, and it would not be a good thing for the team. At that time, if he loses the game, Qin Qi may be infamous...

Everyone couldn't convince anyone, and finally voted, and the majority agreed to remove Qin Qi from the starting list.

So Qin Qi sat on the bench.

Everyone also has different opinions on whether Luo Kai will start.

Some people think that although Luo Kai was injured, he rested for the whole game and should be able to catch up with England.

And the reason why he was allowed to rest for the last group match was to allow him to play in the knockout round.

What's the point of resting him if Roquet is not played against England at the end?

Some people also think that whether Luo Kai can play depends on how well his injury recovers.

Before the game, there was news that Luo Kai had recovered from his injury and could participate in the match against England, but there was also news that Luo Kai's injury was not healed. Out of caution, Dillon might not let Luo Kai start.

None of these news has been officially confirmed by the Chinese team. In view of the fact that the previous news of Caesar's injury was confusing, it was a smoke bomb deliberately spread by the Italian team.

Everyone is not sure what kind of situation Luo Kai's injury is now.

However, out of the simple feelings and expectations of the fans, in the end everyone put Luo Kai into the starting lineup.

Starting forwards Hu Lai and Zhou Zijing, starting midfielders Zhang Qinghuan, Xia Xiaoyu, Ou Yangjin, Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai, starting defenders Wang Guangwei, Cai Shuyi and Liu Yan, starting goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan.

This is basically the strongest lineup of the current Chinese team.

But such a Chinese team with the strongest lineup, under the control of computer AI, played ten times and lost seven times.

It seems to be some kind of "ominous omen" that makes everyone in front of the screen both angry and shocked.

So everyone shouted:

"Fuck, what a trash game!"

"Sun, no matter how good the Chinese team is, it's impossible to only have a 30% winning percentage, right?"

"Actually, you don't need to pay too much attention to this..." Chu Yifan said. "Football games have value after all. The total score of the Chinese team in the game is 78, and the England team is 86. The difference is so many points, the winning rate is naturally not high. And the AI ​​operation is still far behind the player operation. , not to mention comparing with real players."

Yan Yan echoed: "That's right. At the very least, Hu Lai in the game can't use 'Cross Talk Football' on the opponent's players!"

When he said that, everyone burst into laughter.

Since the simulation results of the game have no reference value~lightnovelpub.net~ everyone will not simulate the game, but start playing again.

It's just that this time it's a different way of playing, it's no longer a two-person battle.

Instead, two to four people control the Chinese team at the same time, and then face off against the most difficult AI.

Everyone seems to want to return to the computer ten times the anger provoked by the computer simulation just now...

Just when everyone was enjoying themselves, the real starting list of the Chinese team was released.

"My day?"

Meng Xi exclaimed when he saw the starting list of the Chinese team on his mobile phone.

"Luo Kai didn't start?!"
