Chapter 88: That pandemonic confession (3)

This was a football match which had turned into a war, an unprecedented war over Yanzhou University’s pride

At the final juncture of an incomparably important match such as this, as the final substitute for the final all-out attack, Yanzhou University’s coach finally roared the na

”Who’s Xu Tingsheng? Is he good?”

”I don’t know I've never seen him play before!”

”Zhixin, he’s on, he’s on! Will he score?” Lu Zhixin’s roommate pushed abruptly at her shoulder

”Yeah…I, I don’t know,” Lu Zhixin clenched her fists, looking a little hopeful whilst also a little nervous

Discussion was rife on the stands, but there were feho could provide an answer

Actually, even Xu Tingsheng himself was a little taken aback by this While he wanted to play, he hadn’t actually thought that he would really be given the chance to The final substitute bore everyone’s hopes on his shoulders It was truly too weighty a position to be in Yet, Xu Tingsheng was just a newcoet onto the substitute list, only having been added in due to his teaht before thechosen to send Xu Tingsheng on now, it was not because the coach thought that he was all that prolific Instead, it was because…

Xu Tingsheng looked at the substitutes' bench This being a competition in which Yanzhou University had been resolved to defend to the death, the starting lineup aside, the substitutes' bench was basically coinal reserve striker had been Chen Xiao Now that Chen Xiao had suffered an injury, that only left Xu Tingsheng

With there being no other choice, there was only leaving it to fate?

This hatand the coach stood by the sidelines, awaiting the substitution It was that doltish fourth year vice-captain as to be substituted off Of course, his perforiven his all and gotten the teaed his teammates all the way

Currently, it ith his final vestiges of energy that he ran towards the sidelines He wanted to finish the substitution as quickly as possible, yet his running speed was not at all high He was already completely out of stamina Otherwise, the coach wouldn’t have taken hi use of this short interval, the coach tried to tell Xu Tingsheng not to be nervous However, looking at his clenched, tre knew that the coach was actually ical University's coach leaned over, s a rookie on to accu, are you?”

As Xu Tingsheng and his coach ignored his blatantin the first half that the spectators were very happy Are they still happy now?”

He turned towards all the spectators of Yanzhou University, waving his hands as he yelled loudly, ”Are you still happy watching? …How co any, why not!”

…Everyone was taken aback by this

Perhaps he would be admonished over this after the fact, ad and refinement of a university football coach…Still, this wasn’t iain, Yanzhou University had been hu erupted amidst the stands As the coach, unable to suppress his fury any longer,reached out and stopped him

The vice-captain finally arrived by the sidelines The hug they exchanged as they effected the substitution was ’s eo…kill theht towards the face of Jianhai Technological University’s coach

Who could knohether this was due to his overwhel exhaustion or had been intentional? Whatever the case, that collision was not a light one

”Shoot, shoot, shoot…Your o to the front and shoot! Remember, shoot…just shoot!”

The coach repeated non-stop that Xu Tingsheng was to shoot, shoot Yet, right as Xu Tingsheng took his first step onto the pitch, it was a single word that blasted into his ears from behind, ‘Kill!'

”Kill!”

The first shout of ‘Kill' came from the coach

The second shout ca there Not having made their presence felt much at all earlier, the Yanzhou Universitythe spectators finally erupted with a collective roar of their own at this final juncture If they could, every single one of them wished to take to the pitch and do battle at this moment But they couldn’t Thus, they released their hot-bloodedness and fury in a single, fervent, frenzied roar: Kill!

This was a hich originally wasn’t supposed to appear on a football field: Kill!

However, this was a war Due to Yanzhou University's stubborn resistance having produced a staleical University who had never even thought about the before this was frustrated to the point of their ee

It was they who had began the hus It was they who had provoked this war, the two sides now being as irrevocably opposed as fire and water

A deeper, more intrinsic reason was that the two universities had always been at odds, neither thinking very much of the other

There were seven universities in this acade Yanzhou's academy city, Yanzhou University should naturally be the indisputable 'big boss' aical University didn't think so Rather than Yanzhou, it was Jianhai Province that their naical University; they were Jianhai Technological University Logically speaking, they should be established within the provincial capital, Xihu City Since they had unexpectedly graced Yanzhou City with their presence, hoasn't it only natural to clainty there?

Anyway, the relationshi+p between the two universities was not all that good Separated by just a river, they rather disliked the sight of each other

Originally, it had been theaccepted within as well as the fruits of their technological research that the two universities had always been co in Here, it was Yanzhou University which had steadily been gaining the upper hand in recent years Today, however, this football nificance had inadvertently beco off

It was like a swordser, a decisive battle beginning as a result

Just ical University's coach had added yettheir foe once er existed a path of retreat for Yanzhou University They ht not even be able to raise their heads out on the streets in the future any longer

”Kill, kill, kill!” The entire stadium resounded with the thirst for blood

For the first three et to touch the ball even once He was virtually stranded and without support in their opponents' half of the field There were already very feere able to try to make a break over with the ball Those balls which ca over via his teasheng could only try to steal the ball hi clearance from a teammate, he had only just stopped the ball when he had found hi players, the ball…swiftly being stolen by the Jianhai Technological University teahs resounded all around the stands

Xu Tingsheng realised what he should do He shouldn't just relaxedly stop the ball whenever possible and control it beforeoff to search for a chance There was no one who could help free up space for hi defenders Even if there was someone with the stamina to co able to get the ball first

He was not that proficient in breaking through defences with the ball In having been the core of his senior high football tea which he was ht before the feet of a teammate Yet, who could he pass to now?

Therefore, as the coach had instructed, there was but a single choice which Xu Tingsheng had: shooting Receiving the ball, then i

The second ti clearance frosheng didn't stop the ball, directly volleying it forth with his le, the ball flew out of bounds beyond the sidelines

It would be ical University

On the stands resounded the sighs of the Yanzhou University supporters as well as the ical University

Of course, after the sighing, the spectators of Yanzhou University still applauded Xu Tingsheng for his efforts Anyone could see how tough a position he was in, how stranded and without support he currently was Many a tiical University defenders at once

No one would ask so much of this newcomer, but they had heaped all their hopes on him nonetheless If they didn't have expectations of hiht they still have expectations of now? He was the sole attacking player on the pitch now, and there was just him who still had sufficient staement, also conveyed all of their hopes, their anticipation
