Three days later, on the playground of Xinhua Primary School, that is, the depression that was used as a football field by Chen Long and others, there were more than 20 children of the same age as Chen Long, in addition to several children who passed the selection of the original Xinhua Primary School represented by Chen Long, there were also some children who passed the selection of other schools in City A, and in front of the children stood several middle-aged men in sportswear.

One of them stood out, wearing black sunglasses, and almost everyone's eyes were focused on him.

He is the main striker of the former Chinese national team, the first striker in Asia, Dong Hao, who has retired and is wearing casual clothes today, and now appears in front of everyone as the youth coach of Evergrande Club.

Of course, except for a few colleagues who came with him next to him who knew his identity, none of the children in front of him knew his identity.

Among these twenty or so children, naturally Chen Long was also included, and at this moment, he was also like other children, carefully observing the man in sunglasses.

Soon after, the man in sunglasses took off his glasses and began to speak.

"Hello everyone, my surname is Dong, you can call me Coach Dong."

Dong Hao stood in front of more than two dozen teenagers and was speaking.

“…… First of all, congratulations to the children for passing the selection, you are already the best 20 people in this age group in Xinhua Primary School and City A. In the next few years of training, I hope that you will be able to use your football talent, play well, try to be a winner, and become a real professional footballer in the near future, being selected by the club and even the national team to play in competitions. ”

It stands to reason that a club like Evergrande, which is second to none in today's Chinese Super League and even Asia, will have its own professional football school, so the football children recruited should be directly brought to the school for training.

In fact, the club's top management also planned to do so at the beginning, but it was opposed by Dong Hao, who was hired by the club in charge of youth training at a huge cost.

The reason given by Dong Hao is very simple, football is a happy sport, the club's football school, indeed, has advanced training conditions, but there is no freedom there, if the children are not happy, how can the training be effective, on the contrary, it is different here.

In fact, there is another reason why Dong Hao is against it, but most people in the club don't know it, that is, Dong Hao is from City A, and his football career started here, it is this old city, but not this school, which is why he came here to train in person as the head coach of the youth training, and the reason why the children selected by other schools in City A are gathered here.

His words made the children excited.

To go to the game, to play for the club, that's exactly what these people dream of.

Now, it's a starting point – if they can do well in training for the next few years and win the club's attention, it can be a dream come true!

"For the next four years, you will be here to receive all the training about football, and in a few days, the field here will be processed, there will be a proper field, of course, there is a certain schedule for daily training, in addition to training, there will be special teachers for you to give other lessons, homework can not be pulled down, we want well-rounded players."

Dong Hao cleared his throat and continued, in fact, as a former leader of the national team, he is always paying attention to the development of national football, and every year he tries to find some talented children similar to what he wants to see in his heart, but unfortunately, after so many years, there is still no gain.

"Okay, you have a total of 22 players, and now I'm going to divide you into two groups of 11 people each, and it won't change for the next few years until the time you graduate from the sixth grade."

So he waved his hand: "Okay, let Coach Li take you into groups." ”

After speaking, a slightly chubby middle-aged man next to him stood up. This is Coach Lee.

Dong Hao turned around and walked to the school principal's office on the sidelines with the others, and he had to negotiate with the school about a series of issues such as lawn maintenance.

"The selection from backward areas is different. I think most of them are quite emotional, and they can endure hardships......" said a man who was traveling with him, who looked slightly younger than Dong Hao. "Maybe you can really find good seedlings!"

Dong Hao said noncommittally: "Let's take a look first, Xiao Wang." In his heart, he also hoped to be like Xiao Wang said, but at the same time, he also knew that it was too difficult.

He took off his sunglasses clipped to his neckline, put them on his face, and glanced up at the sky. The scorching sun at four o'clock in the afternoon took on a blue-green color in the sunglasses, the light was less dazzling, slightly softer, but the temperature did not decrease, and the sun burned on the top of everyone's head, making people feel like they were in the oven.

Dong Hao left, and Coach Li slapped him beside him: "Okay, let's divide a team." ”

The children's eyes reluctantly moved away from Dong Hao's back and turned to Coach Li.

"I called the one by name, come out and get this." Team Leader Wu raised his hand, and he grabbed this red training vest with a white number on the back.

"Huang Feng, Wang Hao, Liu Deyu, Zhang Haoran......"

Every child whose name is called will run out of the line with a happy face to receive their own vest, while those who are not called will look at the lucky ones with envy and longing, hoping that their name will be called.

Eleven people were quickly chosen.

Next, Coach Li picked up a blue training vest and said, "I'll call the person whose name comes to get this." ”

This is the blue team.

"Chen Long, Jiang Yadong, Han Fei, Li Bao, Guo Haowei, ......"

Another individual stepped out of the crowd and took their waistcoat.

Twenty-two people are divided into two teams, and one team of eleven people, which is not necessarily such a coincidence, in fact, this is the number of people set at the time of selection.

"Xiaolong, I didn't expect that the two of us were divided into a group, so you can help me more in the future"

Chen Long was assigned to the blue team, just received the vest, this is the first time he has his own jersey, although it is a training uniform, but he can't put it down, at this time, the shoulder was gently pushed, and a voice sounded.

When he looked back, it turned out that he was in the same class as himself, and he often played football and played Guo Haowei together.

Guo Haowei is an orphan, his parents died in a car accident, he was raised by his grandfather since he was a child, he has dark skin, and his personality is usually a little silent, but like Chen Long, he also likes to play football.

"Haowei, let's cheer together", and then, the two imitated the TV series and came to a bear hug.
