Chapter 5: How to Convince a Brazilian

"Mr. Andrik!!"

"Mr. Andrik!!"

The Brazilian sitting in the car seemed to have heard something, but thought it must have been a mistake, so he didn't stop the driver.

Seeing the silver sedan with the Brazilian head coach of the Chinese team driving all the way forward, the 11-person bicycle team seemed to forget the fatigue of riding for two days, and used a speed beyond their limit to chase after it. Such a conspicuous team of cyclists finally made the driver in the car notice them and talked to the Portuguese interpreter next to them.

But the men in the car apparently thought that the team was just here to support them, so they continued to drive after talking about it.

Seeing that his shouting had no effect at all, Lei Yi picked up his riding speed, gradually overtaking the middle of the group to the first place with an astonishing body, and then continued to move forward.

"Thunder, Thunder Wing!! We can't keep up!!! Come on!! ”

Lei Yi, who gradually threw his companions behind him, just made a winning bid towards his companions who rode to Beijing with him, and then adjusted his breathing and tried to ride faster...... Faster! If he can't outrun these guys, he's going to follow them all the way to Mr. Andric's door!!

With this amazing body and hard work, Lei Yi actually rode his bicycle all the way behind the gray car that the Brazilian coach was riding, and followed all the way for five kilometers.

This bite finally made the Brazilian in the car realize that the other party might be trying to do more than just show support. Finally, the Brazilian made a decision. He asked the driver to stop the car, while he himself got out of the car with the interpreter, and met the persistent young man for a while.

Sure enough, just as the driver stopped the car, the young man who was following closely behind, riding a bicycle, also stopped suddenly, and was also taken out of a long way due to inertia, and went straight to the front of the gray car. He took off his windshield and looked at the Brazilian who had stepped out of the car, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"Kid, looks like you're looking for me."

When Lei Yi took off the windshield, the Brazilian saw clearly what a childish face the person in front of him had. Before the translator and Lei Yi translated that sentence into Chinese, Lei Yi had already replied confidently in a pure Brazilian accent of Portuguese:

"Yes, sir. My friend and I came to Beijing from a long distance on our bikes for seven days! Come to the training base of the Chinese team!! Just to be able to say a few words to you face-to-face!! ”

Obviously, Lei Yi's opening was not only stunned by the coach of the Chinese team, Andrik, but also by the translator beside him.

They could never have imagined that such a young teenager could speak Portuguese so fluently and without any mistakes, in China. But Andrik and the interpreter only exchanged a look, and then formally addressed the boy and smiled kindly at him:

"So, let's talk about it. I'm standing here right now. ”

When Andrik said this, Lei Yi, who had run away as soon as he braked, finally walked in front of the other party, he looked so young, even young. But he was full of confidence, and his black eyes were full of smiles that people couldn't take their eyes off.

"Sir, I want to play in next year's World Cup."

What kind of impact does that sentence have on that Brazilian? Oh...... It was perhaps bigger than he could have imagined.

In fact, it's not like nobody has said something like this to him, or even ...... There are a lot of people who have said that to him. But he never imagined that he could hear this sentence in China be expressed so bluntly, or from a completely unfamiliar, childish face.

Andrik burst out laughing. But before he could say anything, Lei Yi had already said with a smile again:

"I know you must be wondering how I could make such a request to you."

Another blunt remark from Thunder Wing made Andric laugh for a long time before he said, "Son, maybe I'll have to say that what you just said was not so much a request as a request. ”

This time, Lei Yi did not continue to say anything, but smiled at the corner of his mouth, and pulled up the trouser leg of the sports pants he was wearing, he let the Brazilian in front of him see his legs clearly, and then raised his head to look at the other party and said:

"I am 16 years old and my right leg is five centimeters longer than my left. I was born with it. And as I get older and taller, the length between my left and right legs is consistently increasing. I hope that the difference between the length of my left and right legs will eventually be maintained at six centimeters. ”

When Lei Yi said this, the expression on the face of the Brazilian in front of him was completely different. At first, it was as if he had just listened to a child's joke. Can ...... now

"Sir, I know you are Brazilian. As long as you are a Brazilian who loves football, it is impossible not to know what this means. Do you think that having such a pair of legs shouldn't be a reason for me to be able to participate in the World Cup? ”

With that, Lei Yi trotted all the way to his bicycle again, and took out from his backpack a large-screen mobile phone that his friends had lent him, which contained images of him playing football. Seeing that Mr. Andric was still silent, Lei Yi continued:

"I've brought some videos of my goals and I hope you'll be able to take a look. Aren't you curious? What would it be like for someone like us who has the same left and right legs to dribble? ”

Twenty minutes later......

Unable to catch up with people at all, he just watched their mountain king and the gray sedan disappear from his sight. Thunder Wing's companions, the ten outstanding members of this organization, collapsed to the ground like dead dogs.

was annoyed, the local tyrant's little boy's mobile phone rang! Caller ID That's Thunder Wing!!

The little friends howled and asked the local tyrant boy to answer the phone quickly! And the first thing the local tyrant boy asked after picking up the phone:

"Did you catch up with him!!"

What answered him was Lei Yi's smiling voice: "Caught up!" And, Mr. Andrik invited us to his house for dinner! He said we could camp in his yard today! ”

Lei Yi's words simply made his accomplices incredible, they originally just had the belief that they must accompany Lei Yi to ride to Beijing and help him meet the Brazilian coach. But what about after seeing it? Frankly...... Everyone didn't think about what Lei Yi said was .......

But what good news did their king bring!!

That night, the boys, who had been sleeping in the open for seven days, finally had a good shower at the Brazilian manager's home. Andrik's wife, of course, couldn't make enough dinner for so many adolescent boys, so she ordered takeout from a nearby restaurant.

Hearing about Lei Yi and his friends running away from home and coming to Beijing all the way, although the Brazilian couldn't bear to agree, he was still laughed by the enthusiasm of this group of boys.

"I really didn't know that Chinese children could be like you now. If your story were to be changed to a small country town, it would be very Brazilian. ”

When Mr. Andric said this, ten pairs of sparkling eyes looked at Lei Yi, and begged the king for a translation.

In fact, Lei Yi's Portuguese skills really stunned his friends again. They would love to accuse this long and short leg! Why did he let his friends know that he had such a special skill at such a time like this!! Compared to him, the full score of any English test is weak, okay!!

Seeing that the boys were all chirping like chicks looking for Lei Yi to translate, the Brazilian asked his companions to play by himself in order to have a good talk with this amazing boy, and called Lei Yi to his study alone.

"Sir, would you like to see me play? My friends and I brought soccer balls! ”

"Oh, no, no." Andrik laughed, "I don't think you can judge how talented you are by looking at the way you play with these kids. ”

That made Lei Yi look a little confused, but he just waited for the other party to tell him something.

"You can let your friends go home first. Don't let the parents of the children be in too much of a hurry. As for you, tomorrow you go with me to the training base of the national team. ”

"You promised!!?"

Seeing that Lei Yi's eyes lit up, and the whole person was even about to jump up with joy, Andrik suddenly felt a little headache, and he didn't know if his decision would be too bold. But he remembered the light, graceful, and stunning figure in the video. After a moment of silence, the Brazilian spoke:

"Can you tell me how far you can run in one breath? How long do you run 10K? Child, I know too little about you. ”

Andrik's question was a little stumped for Thunder Wing, and he thought for a long time with great difficulty, and then said, "I...... Every day I ran 2.5 kilometers to the nearest park to the school, and then I would climb over the wall and run on the grass in the park until I was exhausted. Then run home. But honestly, I can't answer those two questions you asked me. ”

Although Lei Yi's answer made Andric feel a little headache, from Lei Yi's honest answer, he could roughly know that this child's body should still be very good. So he finally said:

"Leiy, I've decided to let you follow me to the national team's training base tomorrow...... Tryouts. ”

"Go to the national team...... Tryouts? ”

Obviously, such an unfamiliar order between the two words would be confusing to Thunder Wing. Andrik then answered in the affirmative.

"Yes, go to the national team for a tryout, with my national team players. But you can't tell anyone that you've never been systematically trained and that you haven't played for any club. I will tell you everybody, you play at the São Paulo club in Brazil, and I don't think your Portuguese will make anyone question that. ”

Andric's plan made Thunder Wing nod his head very seriously and sternly.

Andrik: "I want to see if you can stick to the training plan I have assigned. And, as a player, you don't just have to play on your own, you have to work well with your team-mates. Do you understand that? ”

Thunder Wing: "Understood!!" ”

Andrik: "Alright, now, get me back to your tent." Remember, when you come to the training base tomorrow, you will be a player from Brazil, and you are my good friend, the manager of Sao Paulo FC Mel, who recommended me to the little guy. I just called you over to see if you were really as good as he said you were, but I didn't think about adding you to the squad. ”

Lei Yi: "Yes sir! I remember them all! ”

Before running to sleep, Lei Yi still hesitated and asked, "Can ...... What if they ask me a lot of questions and I can't give an answer that won't be debunked? ”

The Brazilian gave a somewhat comical expression: "Smile! That's when all you have to do is smile! ”
