"Tuk, tuk."

There was a low thud in the door.

"Goode, it's time to get up." Sun Xiaoying pushed the door in, "Your Uncle Hai said that it is best to warm up in the yard now and find the feeling of playing football." ”

Although he still felt a little sleep deprivation, Qin Gude didn't dare to sleep anymore, so he hurriedly got dressed and glanced at the clock on the wall, it was already eight thirty.

After he hurriedly washed, he walked out of the room with a football in his arms, but saw that Sun Jihai was already practicing changing direction between several corner cones: "Uncle Hai, it's early." ”

"Early." Sun Jihai stopped slightly, "We will leave on time at half past nine." ”

"Won't delay your training?"

He shook his head and said with a smile: "I just finished playing yesterday, and I have a day off today." ”

"That still delays Uncle Hai's rest." Qin Gude was a little apologetic.

"What did you say!" Sun Jihai waved his hand, "You jog with the ball first and adjust your physical condition." ”

Qin Goode nodded, lifted the football into the air, and turned his left and right feet up and down, and after more than thirty times, he gently stretched out his foot to unload the ball, and took the ball to drill between the corner cones.

Sun Jihai looked at his back, although there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, there was no smile in his eyes: although Manchester City's youth training level is not top, but with the level of the teenager in front of him, whether he can be affirmed by Manchester City's youth training director, he is not very sure in his heart.

He is not a person who likes to take care of everything for others, but this time he recommended Qin Goode, although it was because he was carefully diagnosed and treated by the Qin family, but it was more because of his heartfelt love for this child.

There are not many talented children in China, but it is rare to find someone who can maintain a hunger and enthusiasm for football like this child. He didn't want this seedling to die on the dry and polluted land of the country.

Manchester City's Carrington training base.

"Next door is Manchester United's training ground," Sun Jihai said with a smile as he drove into the gate, "but Manchester City's gate is more generous." ”

Qin Goode leaned on the car window and looked around, except for the green trees and green grass, this place was no different from other places.

"Don't be too nervous, do what I told you before." Sun Jihai stopped the car and told him one last time.

Qin Gude smiled reluctantly: "This is the fifth time you have instructed, Uncle Hai." ”

Sun Jihai was slightly stunned, shook his head, and led the three members of the Qin family to a training ground.

"Morning, Danny!" He greeted a staff member with a smile on his face, "Did you watch the game last night?" ”

"Haha, Chinese Sun, yesterday's long pass was so beautiful!" His popularity looked good, and the staff member named Danny not only waved his hand to him in a dashing manner, but also whistled loudly, "It's like the Beckham bred next door!" Hahaha! ”

"Thank you for your massage on weekdays," Sun Jihai smiled and nodded, "Have you seen Frank?" ”

"I'm warming up with the kids." Danny gestured to the grass not far away, "I won't bother you." ”

"That was a masseuse in the team just now, I usually look for him before and after the game, of course, it's not as good as Brother Bin." Sun Jihai explained while leading the three of them to a meadow.

More than 30 young players are jogging in the grass, a coach-like young man is blowing a whistle to adjust the pace of running, and four other men are standing on the periphery with their hands behind their backs.

"That half-bald guy is Frankie Byrne, the director of the U18s and U15s." Sun Jihai whispered to the three people behind him, then raised his voice and changed it to English, "Hey, Frank." ”

The half-bald guy turned around and laughed too: "Dear Chinese Sun, didn't that guy Stuart give you a vacation?" ”

"Haha," Sun Jihai raised his right hand and slapped Frankie hard, "The Chinese children I told you before, my fellow countryman, these two are his parents, and they just flew in from China." ”

"Hello, Mr. Byrne, I'm Goodqin." Qin Gude hurriedly changed to a basic English introduction.

“GoodQin？ I hope you can be good," Frankie smiled and nodded, and greeted Qin Wenbin and his wife again, "Welcome to Manchester as well." He called out an assistant from the other two coaches, "Paul, this is the Chinese little player recommended by Sun, goods Qin, you help me check his basic body elements." ”

The coach named Paul Powell nodded: "Hello, Chinese kid, how old are you?" ”

"Sir, I'm 15 years and two months old."

"Height, weight?"

"5.8 feet (174 cm), 137 pounds (62 kg)." Qin Gude reported the number jù that had been converted in advance.

"Oh?" Paul looked at it a few times, "It's too thin and light, but it looks pretty strong." First of all, let's test the speed, 100 meters run, do you know the rules? ”

Qin Gude nodded: It's not that he hasn't practiced in China, and Sun Jihai has told him many times.

He followed Paul to a nearby straight runway, while Frankie, Sun Jihai and the others stayed where they were, talking.

"Take it easy, lad." Paul grinned at him, "Sun Ke is a person with good eyes, and the children he recommends will definitely not be bad." ”

"Thank you." Qin Goode moved the muscles and joints of his legs again, and stood in front of the starting line, "I'm ready, sir." ”

"Listen to my whistle." Paul stood in front of the finish line and shouted loudly, for fear that he would not understand, he spoke very slowly, almost word by word.

Qin Goode gave him a thumbs up, then took a breath.

"Toot!"

A shrill whistle pierced the air.

Pushing hard with his left foot, his arms swinging quickly behind him, using all his strength with every step, the morning breeze hit his face, there was a feeling like a storm, and his chest beat violently in an instant, as if it was a high-speed motor.

“ok！” Paul gently pressed the button on the chronograph, "11.94 seconds, there's still room for improvement, but as a 15-year-old, it's already a good result." Take a half-minute break, then test the 30-meter sprint, sprint run, do you know the rules? ”

"Yes." Qin Gude calmed down a little and let out a breath.

Then he found that these items were no different from his tests in China......

Perhaps it was the gradual relaxation, or perhaps the air of the British Empire was good for breathing, or perhaps the quality of the grass was better for running, whether it was the 30-meter sprint, the 10-meter round-trip run, or the dribbling event, he ran his best.

Paul also smiled with satisfaction: "They have reached the Under-15 average, and they can even go straight to the Under-18s. Let's go, come with me and report back to Frankie. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Paul." Qin Gude hurriedly followed his footsteps.

"Frankie, No." Paul wasn't too polite to his leader, and stuffed the record he had just made into his hands.

Frankie glanced at it and spread his hands to Sun Jihai: "Sun, you fellow countryman is basically good, I welcome his arrival." ”

Sun Jihai was slightly stunned: "It's that simple? ”

Frankie tilted his head: "Do you want me to arrange another confrontation match for him?" Or try out for two weeks before making a judgment? ”

Sun Jihai knew that he was joking, but he also hurriedly waved his hand: "Then thank you very much." He gave Qin Wenbin a thumbs up, "Brother Bin, sister-in-law, Coach Frankie agreed." ”

"Thank you, thank you." Qin Wenbin and his wife were not familiar with English, so they had to repeat the words of gratitude.

"But there's a question that we have to mention," Frankie said slightly, "Sun, do you know the FA's special rules for academy players?" ”

Sun Jihai could only shake his head.

"In England, you can only sign a professional contract with a club after the age of 17, and before the age of 17, you must strictly be accompanied by your family to receive youth training, and your parents must have a legitimate ......career in the local area," Frankie looked at him, "although it is said that players do not need to pay for youth training, but living in Manchester is not cheap in other aspects, can you tell them?" ”

Sun Jihai couldn't help but restrain his smile, turned around and translated to Qin Wenbin and his wife.

"This ......" the Qin family and his wife looked at each other.

"Wait a minute," Sun Jihai asked Frankie again, "Is there a rule that you must be a parent, and other relatives can replace you?" ”

Frankie patted him on the shoulder: "Sun, these regulations ...... In fact, it is not so strict, how can the FA officials be so pervasive. ”

"That's good." Sun Jihai nodded, "Brother Bin, you don't have to worry about it, if you don't worry, let Gude recognize me as an uncle, and let me take care of him here." Anyway, at least my sister-in-law and I are a big family, and these foreigners can't recognize them just by name. ”

"This ...... How embarrassing? Qin Wenbin was a little moved.

Sun Xiaoying even said: "Otherwise...... Just let me accompany Goode here, I see that there are a lot of Chinese in Manchester, and it shouldn't be difficult to find a temporary job in Chinatown. ”

"It's really unnecessary," Sun Jihai waved his hand repeatedly, "unless you can't trust your brother." ”

"That's naturally trustworthy...... Qin Wenbin and his wife could only agree.

"You see, let the child live with me, at least you don't need to worry about food, drink, housing and transportation," Sun Jihai is a good person to the end, "My mother is a careful person, and she will never let the child go hungry." Also, if he has any questions about his training, he can ask me on the same day, so that he can improve as well. ”

"Since my brother said it, I won't be from Dalian anymore," Qin Wenbin nodded, "But you let me, the elder brother, eat such a big benefit, you can't not show it without meaning at all, right?" ”

Sun Jihai laughed: "Then how about you come to see the child every once in a while, and do muscle physiotherapy for me for a few days by the way?" ”
