"Ding dong."
Jing Gao was waiting at the elevator door on the 20th floor with his backpack, mobile phone, power bank, and car keys.
An old man happened to walk out of the elevator. He was wearing a blue shirt and trousers. He was of medium height and slightly thin. His short hair is a bit gray and he wears a pair of glasses. Leaning on a cane and holding two books.
The whole person looks elegant, handsome, steady and restrained.
"Hey, young man, are you a resident of 2001?" The old man said hello to Jing Gao proactively.
Jing Gao said politely: "Hello, old man."
The old man joked: "Yes, very polite. The young man has a future."
"Goodbye, old man." Jing Gao walked into the elevator, unable to complain in his heart. The old man looked "human-looking", but he spoke like an "old kid".
Arriving at the underground parking lot, Jing Gao drove the black Volkswagen Magotan toward Tongcheng District. The playing field is over there.
…
…
Tongcheng District.
In big cities, there are usually some small plots of land next to residential areas and schools used for golf courses:
After laying artificial turf, erecting high nets, searchlights and goals, it can be rented out to football enthusiasts.
Generally speaking, the rental period is two hours per game, and the rent ranges from 400 to more than 1,000. A box of Yibao mineral water will be given as a gift.
Calculated based on the 7-a-side game, divided by 14, the starting price per player is almost 30 yuan. Many fans are willing to pay this fee to play one game a week.
The limiting factor is that it is difficult to assemble a fixed team. Unless communities and companies organize themselves in this way.
The "Zhongbu Stadium" is a venue located next to a primary school in the central area of Tongcheng. There are three 7-a-side venues.
At about six o'clock, the searchlights in the stadium were turned on, illuminating every corner of the stadium brightly. Luo Yi, who arrived early, and his friends were changing sneakers and drinking water by the goal.
A fat man tightened his shoelaces and shouted: "Xiao Luo, hasn't your friend come over yet?"
Luo Yi was very short. He smiled warmly when he spoke, "Brother Zeng, I just called him. He's stuck at Poly Plaza. He'll be here soon."
A tall and lanky man said: "Fat Zeng, what are you doing? Aren't the people on the opposite side not here yet? Luo Yi, your friend plays that position? How is his level?"
Luo Yi said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, he plays as an attacking midfielder. In college, he was the main force of our team."
Obviously, this "Mr. Zhu" is a joking and somewhat respectful title.
Fatty Zeng sat down on the artificial turf, picked up a bottle of mineral water, drank two sips, and sneered: "The level of the main force of your team is just like that. Xiangzi didn't come today. Don't hold back!"
Just let him play goalkeeper. This week's work was already boring. It’s finally a day off to play football, I’m going to kill everyone today. "
Luo Yi was a little unhappy and remained silent without answering.
At this time, the "captain" Cao Le, who was communicating with the captain on the opposite side, came over. He was about 20 years old, with a short hair and medium build. He smiled and cursed: "Fat Zeng, I want to kill everyone to find your wife. I'm afraid you can't do it. .”
"I'll go. Lao Cao, you're in a hurry! How can we not be good at playing football? My waist is fine."
Talk and laugh to resolve awkward situations.
Jing Gao drove the car and slowly drove into the open-air parking space next to the stadium. He was still on the phone with Xiao Qiao, "Well. You arrange for two people to live in the community. Either rent or buy. It doesn't matter. Okay, I'm here. Let's talk later."
When he was just driving, he received a call from Gree to install the air conditioner. He was not at home. So he simply asked Xiao Qiao to arrange for two employees to live in his community. Dedicated to his service.
After changing into the old red Manchester United uniform in the car, Jing Gao took the keys and walked into the stadium.
"Jinggao, this way."
Jing Gao raised his hand, smiled and said hello to Luo Yi. Under his leadership, he shook hands with Cao Le, the captain of this temporary team, "Captain Cao, I'm here to play football today. I'm sorry to disturb you. The game will be over later." , I’ll treat everyone to a meal.”
Cao Le said with a smile: "Don't say that. We happened to have a friend who didn't come, so it's just right for us to get together and play football together. Just call me Lao Cao. What kind of captain? I serve them."
Cao Le speaks very well, no wonder he can be the "captain".
…
…
The people from the opposite team also came together. "Turn the ball" to determine the goalkeeper before kick-off. In this "entertainment game", the goalkeeper is the least popular position. I originally wanted to exercise, but ended up staying at the door!
They usually sit in a circle and "turn the ball" to determine the order of numbers to serve as goalkeepers, and make substitutions after a goal is scored.
Soon, the game begins.
Igao played as a full-back and gave the opponent several consecutive breakthroughs, which also resulted in a goal being scored for his team. His physical fitness has been good during this period, but his ball feel is very poor. I haven’t played football since I graduated five years ago.
"Hey, new guy, can you kick?"
After a while, Fatty Zeng shouted again, "Pass the ball, pass the ball. Don't pass it."
"Hold."
It will be halftime in a moment.
Seven people sat on the lawn in twos and threes drinking water.
Fatty Zeng said dissatisfied: "Xiao Luo, tell your friend, he was on goal in the second half. What the hell was he playing?"
This was said in front of Jing Gao.
Jing Gao looked very unhappy.
Luo Yi said unhappily: "Brother Zeng, my friends basically play in the backcourt. If you play forward, it won't affect you, right?"
"Fuck. Xiao Luo, you mean we scored five goals and it's my fault?"
Mr. Zhu, who is tall and lanky, said: "Old Zeng, football is round. It is normal to win or lose. The main thing is to exercise."
Fatty Zeng said with a cold face, "That's what you think. I was very unhappy in this game. It was very depressing."
The other people started to persuade him. They turned out to be from the same company. It's just a game, there's no point in falling out.
Cao Le said: "Old Zeng, you will retreat a little later and I will pass the ball to you." As he said that, he glanced at Jing Gao.
This newcomer's skills are not what Luo Yi said. However, the physical strength is still very good. Running all over the field. However, there is no tacit understanding with them and there is no way to cooperate.
The second half started quickly.
Luo Yi took the initiative to be the goalkeeper. He called Jing Gao to play football, but he couldn't really let Jing Gao be "squeezed out" to guard the goal. Wouldn't that offend people? Furthermore, this way he can calm down the grievances of his teammates a little.
Fatty Zeng's "roar" continued to be heard on the court, blaming his teammates in various ways.
The score is 8:2.
This is simply like the situation of King of Glory falling behind, a large-scale rollover scene. But Fatty Zeng is indeed the best player in the team. He is very good at picking up the ball, breaking through, and shooting. The opponent focuses on marking.
At 8:30, the game ends.
The score is: 15:5.
Jing Gao was covered in sweat and his jersey was soaked. He held mineral water in his hand and drank it, saying, "Luo Yi, let me treat you to a meal. Call me and see if anyone is willing to join me?"
He was a little depressed and a little embarrassed.
That's how it is on the football field, strength speaks for itself. It is to adhere to the principle of "if you can do it, you can beep". He didn't play well, and Luo Yi also suffered from "complaints" from his teammates.
At the same time, this game was very depressing.
Luo Yi patted Jing Gao and said with relief: "It's okay." After saying hello, the tall and lanky Mr. Zhu and another team member were willing to go together.
…
…
Jing Gao drove and called Li Wei, "Li Wei, I'm in Tongcheng, not far from Poly Plaza. Are there any better restaurants nearby?"
