That night, Lei Yi received a UPS express from China, which turned out to be sent to him by the leader of the Chinese team! And what is in the package is the legendary rhodiola rosea used to relieve altitude sickness! Lei Yi opened his email after realizing it, only to find that the staff of the Chinese team had sent him an email three days ago, and told him that the team had checked his place of origin and found that his family was from the plains, so they sent him this and asked him to remember to start eating in advance.

Seeing this, Lei Yi realized that the problem of high altitude ...... It seems to be a bit strict!

When I went to the club to train the next day, I realized that there was a problem, so I asked all the South Americans in the team, asking them if they had played on the home side of Ecuador for the national team, and if so, how they felt at that time.

Lei Yi, who asked his club teammates these questions, seemed extremely serious, and he even took a small notebook to record all the specific feelings of his teammates telling him. But the more he recorded, the more he felt...... He's afraid of heights!

Especially, after he heard a club teammate tell him sù this sentence:

In just one morning, the entire Sao Paulo squad knew that their youngest player would be playing the World Cup play-offs at Ecuador's home stadium in a month's time. Regarding Lei Yi's hesitation and the faint fear in his heart, everyone said that there is a bird here that is afraid of flying high.

This group ridicule from his teammates made Lei Yi feel very frustrated, he had never imagined that such a thing could affect his heroic performance on the court! Isn't there anyone who thinks Ecuador is cheating like this!

After Lei Yi said this, although every time he played the World Cup qualifiers, he fought hard at the home of the Ecuador team, but with the idea that we have all suffered losses, how can you not suffer losses, everyone has said to Lei Yi that this is just someone's home advantage, how can it be said that Ecuador is cheating! If the people of your country wish, you can also build your home field on a higher ground!

This group ridicule made Lei Yi completely sad and angry, and even the next day was a rest day that couldn't make his mood better. Even, on the way home, he blurted out a sentence: Ah, what a painful realization!

After singing that sentence, Lei Yi was silent at the time, and then felt ashamed to open the door of the room he rented, and rushed all the way into his room, and shouted with a kneeling head: "I want to fly to the highest peak of the world!" ”

After shouting these words, Lei Yi felt even more embarrassed. He seems to have a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder, even when he makes a hasty dinner for himself, he can't help but use his mobile phone to check the symptoms of various altitude sickness. And when eating, it is even more impossible to stop.

"Well, what the hell am I ...... Will it be altitude sickness? ”

Before preparing dinner for himself, Lei Yi sent an email to ask the staff of the Chinese team about the arrangements for the national team event this time. But there is a 12-hour difference between Beijing time and Sao Paulo, Brazil, and perhaps Lei Yi will have to wait for a while to wait for the other party's reply.

It was when Lei Yi was hesitant that there was a knock on his door.

"Hello?"

"Open the door, it's me, Dominguez."

As soon as he heard his friend's voice, Thunder Wing immediately jumped up and ran to open the door for Domingos. But Dominguez didn't seem to intend to come in and sit for a while, but said to Lei Yi: "Clean up, bring your toothbrush, towel, and pajamas, and let's go." ”

Lei Yi: "Out out...... Hair? ”

Domingos: "Yes, we went camping in Monte Mandigella, the highest mountain in the state of São Paulo. There is a Mina Peak. ”

Thunder Wing: "Is it taller than Quito!" ”

Domingos: "Probably, less than a hundred meters shorter." ”

Lei Yi hesitated for about a few seconds on the "less than a hundred meters shorter", and then immediately beckoned Domingos in, and hurriedly said, "Then you wait for me to take a shower first!" Soon! It's just five minutes!! ”

In this way, Lei Yi got into the car of Dominguez and went to the highest mountain in the state of São Paulo with his club teammates in the evening. That kind of atmosphere actually gave Lei Yi the feeling that he was making that kind of old American western. Of course, American westerns don't have such beautiful tropical natural scenery.

"You take this World Cup very seriously."

There was a samba song playing in the car, and as soon as Dominguez's voice sounded, the feeling of enthusiasm was immediately cut down a lot, a lot. That suddenly made Thunder Wing have a ...... He needs to be serious about having a conversation with his club team-mate.

"Ahem." Lei Yi cleared his throat and said, "Yes! But not this World Cup, but all World Cups. As a player, no one doesn't take the World Cup seriously, right? ”

The car is driving on uneven roads, so the body of the car will always shake slightly. Domingos glanced at Thunder Wing, then continued, "No, it won't. However, I always felt something different in you. Do you think you're a hero yourself, showing up at a critical moment to save your national team, right? ”

Domingos's words made Lei Yi feel a little stunned, and then he felt that it seemed that the facts were very similar to what Domingos said.

Knowing the answer he wanted from Thunder Wing's expression, Dominguez turned his attention back to the road ahead and continued: "You have a sense of mission, and in your heart, there will never be such an idea that someone else can replace you if you fall. But you have to know that you're only 16 years old. Even in Brazil, most of the players are still in the club's youth team, even the junior team, when you're your age. ”

Lei Yi: "So you're trying to ...... Am I luckier than most? ”

Domingos: "No, I'm trying to say that you should be enjoying football better now, instead of thinking about what you want to do for the team. For you, time is precious now, and the past will never come back. ”

Lei Yi: "I can understand what you said, and thank you for reminding me of this, but I'm in a hurry. Very anxious, anxious. ”

Dominguez: "In a hurry? ”

Thunder Wing: "Yes! Hurry to become the king of the ball! ”

Dominguez was obviously stunned by Lei Yi's words, and then laughed helplessly. But Lei Yi didn't seem to pay attention to or care about this, but said very seriously:

"Pele has already scored for the club at the age of 15 years and 9 months! Like him, I got my debut two months after I joined the club, but it was a few months later than he had scored my first goal. And Pele also played for 22 years, playing in 1,364 games and scoring 1,281 goals. He has won the World Cup, the South American club title, the Copa Libertadores. He did so much to be named the king of the ball! So I'm really in a hurry! ”

Thunder Wing wrenched his fingers to count those numbers, and began to calculate with great difficulty how many years he should play, how many goals he should score in each game, and how many assists he should have to complete that huge number every year. Counting on the calculations, Lei Yi's head is big, and looking at Lei Yi's scratching of his ears and cheeks, the most dazzling defensive midfielder in the Sao Paulo team can't help but laugh.

"It's okay, then you can be serious and be the king of the ball."

Hearing his friend wish him this, Lei Yi didn't count it anymore, but turned his head to look at Domingos happily.

It's October in South America, and it's already a warm spring. But on such a 2,700-meter mountain, it can still be a little cold at night. Dominguez was well prepared, though, and he brought a tent for camping. As for the sleeping bag, the Brazilian with a sense of freedom in his nature does not seem to like to be squeezed into such a small cloth bag to sleep, preferring to be able to stretch and relax while sleeping. So he brought two light and warm blankets.

Thunder Wing: "Domingos, is altitude sickness coming?" ”

Dominguez: "Probably. ”

Lei Yi: "Domingos, why hasn't altitude sickness come yet?" ”

Domingos: "Hmm. ”

Thunder Wing: "Domingos, altitude sickness hasn't come yet, isn't it coming!" ”

Thunder Wing: "Dominguez ......"

Thunder Wing: "Dominguez ......"

Thunder Wing: "Dominguez ......"

Lei Yi made a fuss for a long time, and found that his club teammates actually ignored him and ignored him, and in a fit of boredom, he unzipped the layer of light-blocking cloth on the tent, planning to watch the stars and count the stars for entertainment.

Whether it is a constitution that is prone to altitude sickness or not, you can't tell if you just stay in a place that is not high or high for a few hours. Many people tend to feel that intense discomfort after a night's sleep.

It is precisely because of this that the South American team chose to stay in the lower altitude of Ecuador's seaport city before the game in order to overcome the Ecuadorian team's Devil's Plateau home, until the game was about to be played, and then went up to Quito, the capital of Ecuador. They thought that might be able to get the team to finish the game before altitude sickness set in.

There are also teams that arrive in Quito 10 days before the trip to Ecuador's home stadium and train daily in the city at an altitude of 2,850 meters, in an attempt to get the young and strong players to adapt to the altitude in 10 days.

Either way, it seems that they can't completely avoid the huge impact of high altitude on their players. It's also an intense 90-minute race, and it's certainly very different to finish it on the plains and at 2,850 meters above sea level.

The reason why Dominguez brought Thunder Wing here at night was to let the boy, who still doesn't know if altitude sickness will have a great impact on him, can sleep at this high altitude, and then run and jump for 90 minutes the next day, feel and simulate it in advance, so that Thunder Wing can have a bottom in his heart when he goes to Quito to compete.

Before he finally finished making a fuss and was about to go to bed, Lei Yi called out the names of his club teammates who were sleeping in the same tent as him at the moment.

"Dominguez...... We can't afford to lose against Ecuador this time. If I win, I'll be able to play in the World Cup! That's at least three games! If I can't make it to the World Cup, then when others play these three games, I can only kick stones on the side of the road! That's so sad......"

As he spoke, Lei Yi pulled up the blackout cloth in the tent again, lay down and fell asleep.

Dominguez, who was on the side, didn't seem to be asleep all the time, and only opened his eyes after Lei Yi's breathing became very stable and helped the little guy next to him put the blanket cover.

Five days later, Lei Yi received a notice from the national team. In order to pave the way for the national team, the Football Association even decided to suspend the Chinese Super League for three weeks, just so that the national team could assemble in advance and go to Quito, Ecuador, to adapt to the altitude there.

Considering that Lei Yi is now in South America, the team decided not to let him gather in Beijing first, but went directly to Ecuador to meet everyone. The team leader specially advised, saying that he must not lose himself, the mobile phone must be kept on, and he must not lose people at a critical moment.

Lei Yi was very happy that he didn't have to fly from South America to Beijing to assemble and then fly back to South America from Beijing, so he happily told his club coach Mr. Mel about it, and then got scolded by the head coach of his own club.

"Bastard! Just for a national team event, I have to go to the training camp three weeks in advance! Is this what people who live on Earth can figure out! A World Cup qualifier can let them come like this, so if you really enter the World Cup finals, will you not have to stay in the club for the next half a year, and go back to your hometown to train for half a year!! Don't let go! It's impossible to release people three weeks in advance! Andrik, that old bastard came to me in person, and I won't say yes! ”

The head coach of Sao Paulo, Brazil, said that this season's Brazilian league has reached the final rounds, and all teams are trying to improve the league standings. Coupled with São Paulo's defeat in the Copa Libertadores in the first half of this year, it is all the more important to do everything possible to play the Copa Libertadores in early December, leaving no regrets.

Therefore, let him be released three weeks early?

Mel said that this is teasing him!!
