Football Queen
After having this idea, Yu Shu took Zhou Changqing to watch a game together.
A soccer game between little girls.
It wasn't very formal because the team size was barely enough, seven on one side and eight on the other.
But soon, not long after coming on the court, the extra little girl from the red team left the court.
I sprained my ankle.
Not many people were looking at this side in the audience. The people sitting on the chairs were college students who stayed on campus during the summer vacation to talk and date.
Yu Shu moved closer and closer, and finally got to the side of the little girl.
She was like a little mushroom, with her head down, massaging herself.
"Celebrity sister!"
It was the little girl who greeted her when she entered the school.
When Yu Shu leaned over, her expression was already composed, and her voice was sweet but also had a hint of spicy flavor.
"Have you ever seen my TV show?"
A five or six-year-old child who has no mobile phone or pocket money may not even recognize all the words, so Yu Shu felt that she had only seen her on TV.
The child's eyes lit up immediately, and his little mouth started chattering: "Sister is the queen, the queen in white clothes."
She raised her neck slightly again and said, "You are so beautiful. My mother has watched that TV show many times."
Zhou Changqing came over at this time and laughed when he heard the child's open flattery.
Yu Shu raised an eyebrow, prompting the child to speak more: "Oh, what's your name? When did you start learning to play football?"
"My name is Chen Huan, the one with ears. My mom is a school security guard. She's really good... She said girls need to have a healthy body so they can do whatever they want when they grow up and handle danger on their own... So my mom sent me to play football. The coach is great and didn't charge my family any money..."
It's probably like this when you meet someone you like. You want to tell them everything. Chen Huan started by talking about her name, then her mother, and how she worked as a security guard in the security department of Spring City University, catching thieves and perverts. She also talked about how her mother took her with her during her divorce, how she loved watching football games, so her mother sent her to play, and how her coach was a university professor—a university professor! And she was also a retired football player.
She spoke very seriously, and Yu Shu listened to her while looking at her legs.
"Your feet..."
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of pain..."
When she said this, she looked at the court again.
The partners on the court continued to play.
Her expression was childish and tough.
Zhou Changqing took out some ice water and said, "Don't be afraid of the pain, but it will feel better if you apply it."
Few adults listened to her so seriously. Chen Huan looked at Yu Shu and then at Zhou Changqing.
Her legs were cold, but not that painful today, so she could hold on a little longer. However, she wasn't a very good kicker, and staying on the court would only hinder others.
The child's thoughts are so easy to guess, but her friends don't think she is a burden.
After the game, they all gathered around.
The children were chattering and glancing at Yu Shu from time to time, then secretly looking away.
Their coach is a senior teacher employed by Spring City University for many years and a retired football player. In 1983, he represented Chang Province in the first domestic women's football championship.
But it can be said that the women's football team in domestic universities has received almost no attention.
The physical education classes at Spring City University are elective, and the women's football class has been cancelled for several consecutive years due to insufficient enrollment.
Coach Wu has been teaching Tai Chi classes to her students. Although she is about to retire in the next few years, she still pays attention to women's football matches and sees the current situation of the lack of young players in the domestic women's football team.
I feel powerless, but the success of a game cannot be determined by one person.
A teacher in the staff dormitory asked her to take care of the children during the summer vacation. Later, it evolved into a small summer football team, and then into the two small teams now.
“I won’t persuade them to pursue a career, but I will try my best to teach them.”
Coach Wu looked at the group of children, but his eyes were distracted, as if he was looking through them to see something else.
After leaving the stadium, the two walked side by side on the road.
If Zhou Changqing's grandparents are the most prestigious people in Spring City University, then Coach Wu is the most marginalized teacher.
I am about to retire and am just a lecturer.
The only way to become a university physical education teacher is to win competitions and obtain academic qualifications. Coach Wu has never won a championship or runner-up, and as an athlete in women's football, a sport that does not receive much attention in China, he would not have been able to teach at a university. However, that year, the country successfully held the 11th Southeast Asian Games, and the Chinese women's football team won the championship.
There was more attention at home, so Coach Wu was hired as an exception.
"But in those days, it was easier to get attention by participating in debates or other competitions. Spring City University's strengths in sports were still in things like table tennis."
Yu Shu listened to the child's talk, listened to Coach Wu's talk, and then listened to Zhou Changqing talk about the history of sports development in the university.
My mind is in a mess.
But if she wants to draw good football comics, she has to understand these things.
After I got back, I went to the library to borrow some books and searched for some competition information on the Internet.
It took me a week to finish it before I started writing the plot.
Before writing, I sent an advance notice to the editor of Manke website.
: In three days, I will open a new comic "Soccer Queen"
:? !!!!!!
The editor just turned on the computer and saw this message, and thought it was sent by other authors.
She closed her eyes, stood up and turned around, then looked back and saw the note in the dialog box was [Performance Teacher Xiaoyu].
So according to the great artist's summer vacation schedule, it's only been over a week and he's already working on a new work!
: OK, OK, I'll take note of it. If you have more content, please send it to me and I'll help you promote it.
The performance is very stable!
The editor happily ran to the team leader to share the news with her.
The team leader calmly turned on the tea-making switch and asked, "What comic is on?"
"The Queen of Football! Oh, no, it's about women's football. Is anyone watching?"
The editor realized that Yu Shu's comic this time was not the kind of virtual imagination comic in the past, although it was about football and the protagonist was definitely fictional.
But she has never watched a complete football match in her life, let alone the women's football team on the sidelines.
"Hmm, maybe? The protagonist isn't Chinese? Like Beverly? Or maybe an alien, like Yin Lihua?"
The team leader said uncertainly.
"How many people play football? There's a goalkeeper and a forward..."
The editor returned to her seat and searched for information online. If you asked her to talk about table tennis or badminton, she could say a lot. Even if you asked her about volleyball and basketball, she knew a little.
But when she searched online for football, she found a lot of information, all of which were about famous foreign male players.
The performance of domestic women's football in recent years can be described as dismal.
If I tell you about my football dream, people will laugh at me.
If it's something you don't understand at all, you can draw whatever you want, but the reputation of football...
I hope the master can draw it well. If it is a passionate sports comic, there should be... many people reading it.
Yu Shu had no idea of this anxiety.
She is writing the plot:
“What’s your name?
My name is Rao Ge.
——The most talented and greatest forward athlete in Chinese history!
Let's take a look back at her first game!
Seven-year-old Rao Ge changed his clothes and headed to the stadium as usual, but the difference was that there would be famous athletes coming to watch the game today.
Initially, Rao Ge played football just for physical exercise. His golden kick on the court made the retired coach Yang's eyes shine.
She found Rao Ge's home and from then on took little Rao Ge to train, find teammates, and formed a small football team.
On the field today were Xu Fan, China's most promising football player, and the former head coach of the national women's national football team. They were invited to the stadium to unveil the football field named after them.
The first team to play was the men's football team.
Xu Fan applauded and smiled, but these children were still too gentle, lacked explosive power, and lacked endurance.
Coach Yang pulled the players over and reminded them of the key points of the game in a serious tone.
Rao Ge has a good memory and had memorized it a long time ago.
Lean against the pillar and lick the last of the candy.
Before going on stage, Coach Yang sighed deeply at her back.
This team's uniforms were much worse than those of the previous game, and the child's clothes were obviously not hers and had been cut up.
"Coach, it looks like I can't retire yet."
Xu Fan watched several games of different age groups and came to a conclusion.
But as soon as the game started, this seemingly unremarkable team attracted the attention of everyone on the field. Their coordinated cooperation and super explosive power were like a leopard, moving forward bravely and charging recklessly on the court, while always remembering their teammates and the game.
They showed a sharpness and toughness that was inconsistent with their age.
Win!
Still won in a brilliant way that shocked the whole audience!
The most dazzling striker has appeared!
The reporters, who had already closed the lid and were taking a break, quickly took out their cameras to record the scene. Xu Fan and the head coach never took their eyes off the scene again.
Coach Yang knew: She succeeded.
During the award ceremony, Rao Ge, a member of the team, saw the athlete sitting high in the stands and squatted in front of her.
"What's your name?"
"Me? My name is Rao Ge."
From here, Rao Ge started to embark on a professional path and began to gain fame at the youngest age.
No matter how many doubts and difficulties there are, she faces them together with her teammates.
We couldn’t believe we could have such a great team.”
After Yu Shu finished writing a plot, she took a gulp of water. How could she have been so hot and sweating just writing a paragraph?
I haven’t gotten to the exciting part yet.
Yu Shu couldn't imagine how excited she would be when she actually drew the little girl on the green field stroke by stroke.
It may be unrealistic, but Yu Shu hopes that people who like and love football can get some strength from this comic.
If everyone's voices of encouragement and expectation are only directed to the men's football team and the boys, what about the girls who are also working hard on the green field?
Yu Shu wanted to tell the girls that someone can see your efforts.
Yu Shu also hopes to attract more people's attention to women's football. Only with attention can there be sponsorship and better development.
It is impossible for such a great country not to have a great football player.
No matter what, a great football queen will appear in Yu Shu's writing.
She thought of Chen Huan's smile and thought of it as a dream built for this little girl.
