Chapter 7 on the Future
"You mean...... I can go to Brazil right now!? ”
"Of course, as long as you're prepared, you can do it at any time. (Baidu search 4G Chinese network update faster)"
Andric didn't expect that words like "going to Brazil" could bring such great pleasure to Ray Yi. The 60-year-old Brazilian coach suddenly had a ...... Oh, what kind of helplessness is this, and then he gave an affirmative answer to Lei Yi with some detachment. That simply made Lei Yi very happy.
But after only being happy for a while, Lei Yi became very depressed again.
Lei Yi: "But sir, my family is very poor. ”
Andrik: "Trust me, kid. In Brazil, many children come from poor families. ”
Lei Yi: "But...... Flights to Brazil from here are expensive. I can't afford it. Even if I just want a one-way ticket. ”
The Brazilian coach of the Chinese national team was obviously amused by this childlike boy again, and he said with an expression and tone of "we are our own people, Brazil is not": "Let São Paulo give you an advance salary for a plane ticket!" ”
"Really...... Can it really be...... Is it? Wait a minute! Before he was happy, Lei Yi realized a very important question and asked, "Sir! You mean...... Would you like to recommend me to play in São Paulo? ”
"yes, remember what we said yesterday? The head coach of Sao Paulo is an old friend of mine. I also let you disguise yourself as the player he recommended to me. You see, I'm going to recommend you to him today. Don't you think it's funny? ”
As soon as Andrik finished saying this, he saw Lei Yi's crying face, aggrieved and didn't know how to be good, and a very wavering appearance, so he was a little helpless and a little funny, as if the boy in front of him was his grandson and said:
"What's wrong again?"
"But...... I want to go to Botafogo! Garrincha should go to Botafogo! ”
Oh, enough is enough! Is there always a genius who has such and such a stinky problem? Little Leiy, where the hell did this bad habit come from!! Seeing the anger in Bishop Andric's eyes, Lei Yi finally remembered that he was still a sixteen-year-old boy at this time! So like a child, he lowered his head with a little weakness.
And Andrik finally said, "Bastard boy! Do you think São Paulo is worse than Botafogo! Should Garrincha go to Botafogo? Wake up! If you say something like that to someone right now! All of Brazil will laugh off their big teeth! I know you're great, but you have to know that in Brazil, there's no shortage of football talent! If it weren't for the fact that the manager of Sao Paulo was an old friend of mine, if I hadn't tried so hard to convince him to take a look at you first, he would have believed my fantasy and promised me that if you were good enough, he would have put you in the club instead of the academy? Do you think that as soon as you say a word of Botafogo, someone will let you go!! ”
So Lei Yi began to tug at the corners of his clothes, and he seemed to want to tell the other party that Brazil is not short of football talents, but I am sure that there is no such thing as me. But Lei Yi finally held back, and heard Andric's suppressed voice, and said more calmly:
"Sao Paulo is a great team. No one can deny this, even in the whole of South America. What's more, if you grow into a great star, you can choose the team you want to go to. But now, you're just an obscure poor boy! ”
Andric's last words finally convinced Thunder Wing. But he obviously couldn't be too peaceful for even a minute. Just a moment later, Lei Yi anxiously asked, "Then when will I be able to participate in the national team competition with the team!" ”
Hearing this little guy roaring so urgently and asking such a sentence, Andrik wanted to give Lei Yi's little head a look, but he was reluctant. So he could only hum and say:
'If you can score a hat-trick on your debut in Sao Paulo, I'll think about it carefully.
Hearing such an answer, Lei Yi pursed his lips and gave a strange smile, while the Brazilian in front of him raised his eyebrows and returned a reciprocal smile.
Once that decision was made, the countdown to Thunderwing's departure to Brazil seemed to have begun. As he himself said, he can't tolerate every hour he can't play. Fearing that if the São Paulo club put the money on his parents' card, his parents would withhold the money because they objected to him going to Brazil, so Lei Yi and Andric agreed that São Paulo would transfer the money to Mr. Andric's bank card first. Then, after getting in touch with Mr. Andric at home to set a date, he asked Mr. Andric's assistant to buy him a ticket.
Next, Lei Yi almost couldn't wait to go home and tell his parents that he was going to play football in Brazil!
The boy could barely wait for the entire national team to go to the World Cup qualifiers.
The night before he left, Andrik was in a good mood to talk to the funny boy for a while. He also talked about the most successful Asian player in the history of modern football, who is always dragged out by hundreds of millions of fans on the eve of every World Cup.
Andrik: "Oh, we're going to play Japan in the next World Cup qualifier. I can almost imagine that if we lose this game, the Chinese fans will definitely blame this qiē on not inviting Yue out again. The previous head coach of the Chinese team before me complained to me when he stepped down, and in China, people would always attribute the failure of Yiqiē to our failure to convince Yue to come back and continue playing for the national team. ”
Lei Yi: "Yue? ”
Obviously, no matter how familiar you are with a foreign language, when you hear a foreigner say what a Chinese person is called in this foreign language, people who are not familiar with this title will still be unable to react for a while. As if to understand what was going on, Andrik smiled and said:
"Yes, Yue. It's the No. 11 of the Torino team. You should know him and watch him play, right? I thought that in China, young people who like to play football regard him as their idol and god. ”
Although Andrik's words may be exaggerated, they are generally not wrong, and with Yue Yihuang's popularity, it is completely fair to say that he has surpassed Beckham in the past if only in Asia. But Lei Yi is not the kind of person who likes football since childhood. It was only after that bizarre journey that he realized he was meant to be football. It can be said that he does not know so much about football after the sixties of the last century. Not to mention, like some boys who love to play football, they have a lot of famous stars of the last three decades.
So he just laughed, and after hesitation, said, "Yes." But I think ...... His style of play is not my type of play. It's so unexciting. ”
After Lei Yi gave an answer, Andrik immediately asked as if he had grasped the key point of the question: "Which of his games are you watching?" ”
Sure enough, after Lei Yi heard this question, his expression became very interesting, and he said in a slurred voice: "Hmm...... It is...... Last Turin derby. ”
This answer made Andric laugh, and he flexed his index finger, knocked Thunderwing's head with his joint, and said lessons: "Arrogant boy! The last Turin derby was just a month ago! He is 33 years old this year!! I'm guessing you don't know, but he was playing as a striker last season. ”
"Ah...... Yes!!? After Andrik's suggestion, Lei Yi reacted, and asked loudly after realizing it: "He is already 33 years old this year!? I—I thought he was in his twenties......"
"yes, 33." The Brazilian rubbed him again as Lei Yi covered his head, and continued: "When he was younger, he played shadow strikers and midfielders. At that time, everyone called him the Phantom Child. He's incredibly fast, he gives a terrifying sense of threat with every raid, and he's very smart at football. He is recognised throughout Europe as the player that all clubs regret missing out the most. Torino bought him for only one million euros, but he made billions of euros for the club over the next fourteen years. He is humble, resilient, resolute, disciplined, responsible, and knows how to make sacrifices for the team. He never goes to nightclubs, doesn't smoke or drink, and all coaches love players like that. ”
Such a description obviously made the one in Thunder Wing's head ...... Always praised for his gods, a suspicious layer of gold appeared on the head of the 33-year-old Asian player this year. Lei Yi, who is only 16 years old this year, flattened his mouth, "It sounds like a saint, but what fun can you have in being a saint?" ”
The words of such a young man who is completely rebellious made coach Andrik laugh. Immediately after, he said to Lei Yi the last words of the evening:
"Listen, megalomaniacal boy. I give you a piece of advice as a coach and an elder. You just have to be on the pitch like Garrincha. ”
Only on the pitch like Garrincha. Lei Yi didn't understand this sentence when he was sixteen years old. Or rather, he doesn't seem to understand.
In his opinion, to be a player should be like Garrincha, do what he wants, and retain his innocence. Only then will the players be able to play such a creative and wonderful game. Of course, it would be better if Garrincha could not drink, not find so many girlfriends, and not quarrel with his girlfriend for drinking.
A day later, Lei Yi returned home, and when he came home, his mother cried and hugged him and said that she would never beat him again. At that time, Lei Yi still felt very guilty, and said: "Mom and Dad, I found a very powerful coach. He said he was very optimistic about me and wanted to send me to Brazil to play. ”
Imagine that one day your child who has been away from home for many days comes back and says to you, how would you react?
At that time, Lei Yi's parents reacted ...... said very calmly that it was great, and then asked Lei Yi to give them the coach's contact number, and they directly took the phone number to find the police comrade who was in charge of the case of the middle school student's "kidnapping" at that time, and excitedly told them:
"The man behind the scenes has finally found !!"
