The selection targets for high school students aged 16 to 18. Despite the scorching sun, the young football players remain enthusiastic. Previously, the event had attracted more than 40 people to register, and 16 people signed up on the spot, and a total of about 60 people participated in the selection. The selection methods are carried out in the form of back-and-back running, group confrontation, etc. In the rebate run, each rebate point with a spacing of 7 meters is set up with a mineral water bottle, with a total of 4 rebates. The contestant needs to push down the mineral water bottle at the rebate point and return to the starting point. Subsequently, based on the comprehensive ability of the competition, such as technical ability, tactical ability, physical ability, and 1V1 ability, the players were divided into three levels: excellent, good, and passing. In the

crowd, a pair of twin brothers are particularly noticeable. They are 18-year-old Hu Zhonglin and Hu Hualin from Yuetang District. The two brothers have been playing football since the fourth grade of elementary school. They have participated in many provincial and municipal competitions and won awards. In the provincial national fitness competition held last year, the two brothers both achieved excellent results in the ball-sliding event. Hu Hualin won second in the province with more than 920 ball-sliding times in 5 minutes. Although they are studying at Hunan Normal University Affiliated High School, their original intention and enthusiasm to fight for their hometown remain unchanged. They hope to be selected for the Xiangtan team and fight for the honor of their hometown! The
