My Soulmate is a Libero

After playing against Brazil, all members of the Chinese National Youth Team fell into an indescribable burnout. Everyone felt that their bodies were drained, and the happiness after the huge victory swept through their bodies. Everyone was lazy.

So they only had the strength to lie down and applied ice packs and be massaged by the coach.

Usually, when Lao Niu scratched someone with a fascia massager, that person would probably howl so miserable that the whole arena could hear it, but now, Li Ling who was scraped by Lao Niu only uttered a low “ouch, ouch”.

Especially those main players.

Aizmaiti and Fu Biyang sat on the ground, their eyes glazed over, and they slowly applied medicine to their fingers and wrists. Fu Biyang’s nails were still a little bruised, and they were all smashed by Dominique.

Aizimati: “You still need to develop the habit of cutting and grinding your nails on time, and do more manual exercises. The habit of maintaining your body is very important for athletes. You see, I am also working hard to control my weight in order to prolong my professional life.  Otherwise it would be too heavy, and the joints would not be able to bear it because of the bouncing.”

Fu Biyang humbly accepted the senior’s suggestion, and handed Aizimaiti a bottle of sports drink: “Brother Ai, drink water.”

Qiao Mingming put the plaster all over his calf and ankle, smelling like medicine.

Li Ling next to him showed disgust: “Ah (↗↘↗) Captain, you have a really strong taste.”

Qiao Mingming directly put a sheet of activating blood and relieving pain paste on Li Ling’s face: “Come on, let the brain activate the blood, maybe you will be smarter in the future.”

Qiao Mingming also let go, his hands were strong, Li Ling struggled hard for a few seconds, and with a long groan, he crawled away with all four limbs.

Qin Chunxiao was also putting on the plaster. Seeing this, he rolled his eyes and said to Li Ling who hid behind him, “Since you can’t beat anyone, don’t provoke them.”

Seeing their poor appearance, Jiang Xiaohai was full of worry: “Can we still fight tomorrow?”

Lao Niu: “Aren’t there other people here? Tomorrow is the Egyptian team, the weakest team in this World Youth Championship. The Japanese team can beat them 3-0. Don’t worry.”

Chang Xiaole said to them coolly at this time: “But there are three players in the team who can set the ball, Mao has a dislocated finger, Er Leng and Xiaoqin also played five rounds today, the two of them are the most tired.”

Lao Niu brought a total of 3 setters. After a Brazil fight, he either lost blood or mana, and all of them were out of full state.

Newton was silent for two seconds, then turned his head and yelled at them: “You usually don’t care about robbing the rich and helping the poor. You just finished robbing Brazil, but you can turn around and help Egypt! They are the weakest team in this World Youth Championship, even Japan can do it.” Cut them 3:0! If you lose to them, you will have to pay back the face you earned when you won the Japanese team!”

The players responded sparsely, and Qiao Mingming got up: “Coach, I want cupping.”

Others also shouted: “Me too!”

“I want to smoke moxibustion.”

 -Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that involves burning dried mugwort (moxa) on or near certain points on the body to stimulate circulation and promote healing-

“I want noodles.”

Lao Niu: “Okay, okay, I really shouldn’t let you know that I know these skills, Wang Yan, help me.”

A group of guys finally got on the bus under the urging of the coach, went back to the hotel to rest, and on the scarf, a topic climbed up the hot search overnight.

#The Chinese team narrowly beat the Brazilian team! #

Since most of the fans were watching the game this time, the big guys had never been busy in competitive sports before, but there were so many people, you post a post and I build a building, and they will give enough traffic in a daze.

Unknowingly seeing such a big battle, the thought it was the men’s football team that had won the Brazil team. Seeing that it was the volleyball team, netizens didn’t care.

What, it’s not easy for women’s volleyball girls to win against Brazil, but it’s not rare, they were so strong.

Then some fans came out and explained: “No, the men’s volleyball team won this time.”

They were in their early twenties in the world, and they were not considered the number one team in Asia. Before the game, they were predicted to reach the quarterfinals at most!

Although it was only a youth competition, weren’t they strong enough to make the quasi-champion team go on in the preliminaries?

Many 10-year-old fans wiped their tears: “It’s a shame. I didn’t expect them to play so well. I didn’t expect the young people to explode like this.”

In this trending search, the most frequently called players, besides the handsome Qin team, Min team, Ai team, and Fu team in the base circle, was the unlucky injured player Mao Xunfeng.

Looking at the constant concern of netizens in the comment area, some passers-by thought that the player had suffered a serious injury that would affect his career. After asking, he found out that it was a common dislocation in volleyball blocking.

Wait, isn’t a dislocation serious?

Some fans explained that joint sprains, knuckle injuries, and tendinitis were the most common injuries in volleyball. There were not a few players of the older generation who play until their fingers were folded and bandages wrapped around them. Finger disabilities were not uncommon when retiring.

To sum up, Mao Xunfeng’s injury was not serious, but as the only full-time setter in the team, after his finger was dislocated, the coach immediately replaced him to deal with the injury, leaving Qin Chunxiao and Li Ling to catch the ball and spike. While passing the ball, they really loved Mao Xunfeng.

At first, Mao Xunfeng thought he could fight by himself, but was suppressed by Lao Niu.

Newton: “If this is the Olympic final, I don’t care if you get dozens of stitches to seal it up and die. It’s just the preliminaries of the World Youth Championship. We will definitely qualify. There is no need to fight with injuries just for this match.”

This treatment would make Gao Depi, Ding Rong, and Tong Shulan, who were beaten to death with brutal tactics, envious to the point of tears.

It was also after this game that this new team finally took shape.

As a coach, Newton conquered these young young athletes in all aspects with his dedication, tactical level, training level, and love for athletes.

Especially in the case of Zhao Youde, Newton, who borrowed the kitchen from the hotel after the game, cooked instant noodles and put poached eggs in them, was like an old angel wearing a halo.

In addition, after fighting against powerful enemies with their teammates and seeing each other’s hard work and strength, this group of talented teenagers also has a deeper recognition of each other.

By the way, everyone used to see Qiao Mingming and Qin Chunxiao as buddies and friends, and there was a bit of fear attached to Qin Chunxiao’s force value. The practice of mopping the floor for five full innings and serving as a setter also earned Captain Qiao and Vice Team Qin the respect of the players.

After a group of lads fell asleep, Jiang Xiaohai and Newton made a post-match summary and sighed: “Now they are finally like a team that has been twisted together. Before, it felt like they were playing their own way. Sure enough. A strong enemy can best inspire team spirit.”

Newton couldn’t help laughing: “They are all the best among their peers. In the provincial team, they are the aces that are held in high hands. If they want to score, they will be fed immediately. If they get together, they will not accept everyone.”

He was also a member of the national men’s volleyball team, and he knew the wonderful little pride of young people all too well.

Then in the group match of the Chinese team vs. the Egyptian team on the second day, the Chinese team successfully broke the spirit of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor….

Yesterday, the most tired individuals were all sitting on the bench. Newton calculated and chose Min Yaoyang, Liu Yuelou, Luo He, Qiao Mingming, Qin Chunxiao, and Xiong Wu to play on the field. He ranked their weaknesses and developed a tactical plan.

Then they still came close to hitting the fifth inning.

They didn’t know why the Egyptian team wanted to struggle again in the end. They played very hard. Originally, they also achieved good results in the African Youth Championships before winning the World Youth Championships. It is indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

They played a total of four rounds, the scores were 25:23, 23:25, 25:19, 25:16.

In the second game, Li Ling came on, Qin Chunxiao went off to rest, and everyone should know why this game was lost…

If before the Brazil game, everyone in the team was in good condition, and they were framed by Twitch’s setter, and they could play adjusted offenses, but now Qiao Mingming, You Ziyu, and Fu Biyang were on the field and played all five rounds yesterday. Yes, they were all exhausted, they were framed by the setter again, and the second round was not finished, they all began to miss the steady kitten and Deputy Qin.

After losing this round, Newton quickly changed his mind and left the game. “Chun Xiao, it’s your turn. Boys, end the battle quickly. Don’t drag it until the fifth round. We have a rematch tomorrow. If you don’t save your energy and encounter a strong team, what will happen?”

Qin Chunxiao pinched his sore left arm with his right hand, twisted his neck, and entered the stage aggressively.

After this match, the preliminaries officially came to an end. The organizer gathered the teams that appeared and divided the 16 teams into four groups again.

Among them, Group E and Group F are the top eight teams that qualify. They would fight around 8 to 4, 4 to 2, and 3 positions on the podium.

Group H and Group G are the 8 teams that were eliminated, but they still have to compete to decide the ranking from 9th to 16th. Even if they couldn’t make it to the top eight, it was not so ugly to fight for the ninth place.

Seeing his own team appearing in first place, Lao Niu happily went to the meeting and learned about his opponent in the rematch.

He called the players to a meeting again: “We are in Group E, with Poland, Iran and Cuba.”

Qiao Mingming looked solemn: “They are all strong teams.”

Especially Iran, it was not an exaggeration to say that they were the old enemies of the Chinese men’s volleyball team in Asia.

For a long time, even if the Chinese men’s volleyball team was not as good as the European and American teams, they were considered powerful in Asia. However, whether it was the Asian Championships or other internal Asian competitions, they were often overwhelmed by Iran and wanted to participate in the World Championships, etc. In world-class competitions, they must first get the top two in the Asian division. The Iranian men’s volleyball team often took first place, and the Chinese men’s volleyball team was the sad second.

Liu Yuelou whispered to Qin Chunxiao: “In fact, in the peak era of the four main players, Iran was overwhelmed by us, but then they were injured. Although we won the Asian Youth Championship, it was very dangerous to win.”

Qin Chunxiao blinked: “Then we should surely win this time.” Qin Chunxiao was very confident. His joining the national youth team meant that the team was stronger than before. There was really no reason to lose.

Newton added, “Groups E and F will be played at the DRFG Stadium in Brno. We will be changing cities, so the rematch will be two days later. Now, we have to pack our bags and move to our new positions.”

The children went down to pack their luggage at the urging of the coach. At the hotel entrance, Min Yaoyang was beaming: “Finally, I can say goodbye to the corridor with the big tooth ghost.”

Li Ling walked beside him and scratched his head: “Then what if the new hotel also has big tooth ghosts?”

Min Yaoyang: “Huh?”

Not far away, the Brazilian team was also boarding the bus. Dominique stood at the end of the line with his hands in his pockets, looked back at the hotel, and sighed.

It was finally possible to leave this haunted hotel.

However, before the bus left, another accident happened to the Chinese team. When Fu Biyang got on the bus, he staggered and knelt on the ground.

Qin Chunxiao was right in front of him. When he heard the movement, he quickly turned around and helped him up: “Little chicken! What’s the matter with you?”

He touched it on tiptoe and was burned: “Coach, the chick has a fever!”

Lao Niu and Wang Yan rushed over immediately and checked Fu Biyang.

Fu Biyang was weak: “I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m just a little tired and want to go to the toilet.”

Qiao Mingming: “But you went to the toilet twice before you left?”

Wang Yan asked a few words, and judged: “He has a cold, and he still has gastroenteritis.”

When playing against Brazil, Fu Biyang played all five rounds. When playing against Egypt, he was dragged up to play the third and fourth rounds to end the fight quickly. After the fight, he asked Lao Niu for noodles again to put in soft-boiled eggs.

Wouldn’t the already tired body be sick when it was tossed with half-cooked food?

The old cow sent the boy to the last row of the bus with a calm face, gave him medicine, let him lie down and rest, and his heart collapsed.

Thanks to this group of young men who have experienced constant accidents, they had learn an important lesson. They realized that they should bring more people with them in future competitions. Otherwise, high-intensity competitions could consume the physical strength of the athletes, and coupled with accidents such as illness and injury, it could be challenging. The day after tomorrow, they would be playing against a strong player like Poland, and they need to figure out what to do as a team.

Newton raised his voice and said, “Xiao Qin, sit by the chicken and watch, I’ll find out where the anti-fever stickers are.”

Qin Chunxiao: “Oh.”

He sat down and played with his mobile phone leisurely. Fu Biyang leaned over to look listlessly: “What are you playing?”

Qin Chunxiao: “Chat.”

Fu Biyang: “Are you chatting across borders? Is the Internet available? Is the traffic fee very expensive?”

Qin Chunxiao: “Well, it’s very expensive.”

On the screen of his mobile phone was displayed the page of bib’s private message.

Xuan Dong who can sing: 【Congratulations on your successful qualification. I wrote a song. This is the link to download the demo. 】

Qin Chunxiao: [Thank you, I’ll go and listen. 】

Is the Chinese men’s volleyball team hotly searched today?

Because Mei Xuandong wrote an inspirational song for his beloved Chinese men’s national youth volleyball team. Although the style was very similar to “Superstar in Troubled Times”, it was still very good. The predecessors during the golden age of records had a style of not hyping up and relentlessly producing new works, yet the quality of the new works remained excellent.

Only Mei Xuandong’s dear Boss Wan and Director Jiang felt that something was wrong.

Mei Xuandong, aren’t you filming a movie? Why do you have time to do other things?
