“... To cultivate... Have a high ethical standard... Possess, good psychological quality, and modern technical combat level... And, brave and tenacious and dare to fight, football, athletes!! ”

Amid the dogma, twenty-two young players stepped onto the plane with their luggage on their backs.

In the crowd around the airport, some people pulled banners, some held flowers. Some people's faces are full of glory and expectation, while others have tears in the corners of their eyes.

"Child, take care, when you get over there, listen to the coach more!"

"Come on, son, Mom and Dad are waiting for you to come back!"

"Child, you must work hard, and after you finish your studies, you must win glory for the country!"

In the bustling send-off of parents, a boy's cry came.

"Dad, why, why can't I! I was born 77 years later! ”

"Jihai, you are still young, and there are many things you still don't understand."

The grandfather in the crowd hugged the child in his arms, and his face was full of chagrin and loneliness.

The young Sun Jihai almost gritted his teeth when he looked at the teenagers who walked on the stairs of the terminal with their heads held high.

In this "battle" with you without me, with me without you, he obviously acted as the loser.

In the winter of 1992, after the final winter training in Wuzhou, Guangxi, 22 outstanding students selected from all over the country won the final quota to study in Brazil. And Sun Jihai unfortunately failed because of his overage bone age.

Who can tell what is going on?

...

“... Hello passengers on this flight, the plane is about to take off. Please put away the small table in front of you..."

"Radisson and the Chiefs..."

"Whoosh!"

"Ahh

The teenagers in the cabin couldn't help but exclaim the moment the plane left the ground, and the centrifugal force brought a trace of horror and excitement. The cabin is full of anticipation for the future.

While most people talk about this trip abroad, a handsome young man with a deep and deep face sinks into the water sits by the window, looking at the distant land, gently chewing gum.

Chewing gum is a habit of teenagers for many years, and chewing gum during take-off can also be a good way to suppress the discomfort caused by a sudden drop in air pressure to the ear, nose and throat.

The crowd around the airport gradually became the size of a soybean grain, and the marshmallows in the air slowly floated to his side.

It all seems like a dream, but why is it so real?

"If you come, you will be safe. Since there is no 'me' in this world, and I have come to this world, then everything is fate! ”

I don't know how long it took, but the plane began to land slowly.

The swoop, taxi, and straddle flight landed steadily on the runway.

"Tiezi, are we here?" A delighted voice came.

"What's the hurry, didn't you listen to the coach before leaving? We're going to Germany for a layover. The man called Tiezi said casually.

"Yo roar! So, we're in Europe? The young man who asked the question was ecstatic, he was already sitting in the aisle, and at this moment he saw that the plane was taxiing, and his impatient heart could not hold it back.

"Li Jinyu, sit down for me! Danger, don't you know? Don't stand up until the plane is completely stopped! A majestic voice rang out, and the called boy stuck out his tongue, sat back in his place, and grimaced at his companion.

Unlike his lively and active fellow countrymen, Li Tie still sat in his place, straightening his waist, like a primary school student who had just entered the first grade, even if he was extremely excited in his heart.

And the gumball boy sitting in the innermost part beside him is really light and breezy.

As the cabin door opened, twenty-two teenagers, led by three instructors and five staff members, stepped out of the cabin.

Looking at the blue sky, these teenagers, who had never breathed foreign air, suddenly felt a burst of freshness.

"Don't wander around, be careful of falling behind! We've got to catch the next flight! Head coach Zhu Guanghu said sharply.

It is said to be "catching" the next flight, but in fact the next flight will take off in five hours. In those five hours, it was enough time for them to get their tickets again, queue up to go through security, and enter the departure hall.

"EXCUSE ME..." At this moment, a pair of reckless old men in the sixtieth armor carried trolley suitcases and hurriedly stopped a young teenager in the group.

They were reckless because they wanted to ask for directions from a Chinese teenager who had come here for the first time. It seems that they are in such a hurry that they think these teenagers are local children attending summer camp.

Maybe in Germany, there are also middle schools that are all Chinese.

The discussion who was pulled by the arm was flushed, and he stood in place in embarrassment, looking at his teammates with his eyes full of pleas.

Most of the young players who were swept by him lowered their heads, especially Chen Wenkui, who has not yet spoken standard Mandarin, how can he speak foreign dialect?

"Hello, uh... That one... Saorui! Hey, hey, mother..."Zhang Xiaorui looked like he was not afraid, and took the initiative to stand up with a mouth, which was a pure Tianjin accent.

Unfortunately, although he is not afraid to talk to foreigners, his English is really poor. I danced for a long time, but I didn't express my meaning clearly.

Sensing that the team stopped suddenly halfway through, Zhu Guanghu and the others also turned around, and just happened to see an anxious foreigner couple and Zhang Xiaorui who was "dancing with teeth and claws".

"Lao Li, what's the matter? Let's go over and see. ”

"Okay." The person called Lao Li also looked embarrassed, thinking why didn't you ask the translator to accompany you to call me? I'm just a goalkeeper coach!

At this moment, a delicate voice sounded.

“LOOK AT THAT！” An authentic London accent attracted the attention of the two foreigners.

With the fingers of the gumball boy, people saw the teaser board overhead. The sign not only contains the flight time, but also the boarding gate and other information.

“#￥%……！ @#……%”

After a round exchange of words in English, the old man took off his hat and thanked the gum boy. Then he took his wife with one hand and the trolley box with the other, and left in a hurry.

And at this time, the discussion of being "rescued" looked at the face of the gumball boy with a burst of admiration.

"What just happened? What are you talking about? Zhu Guanghu came over and asked with a frown.

"Coach, they want to go to Lisbon and can't find Gate 3." The gumball boy replied directly, his language concise and clear.

"Really?" Zhu Guanghu glanced at the foreigner couple who walked away, thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I know." If there is nothing else to do in the future, don't take it personally, you know? This is a foreign country, unlike China, and if I get lost, I can't be responsible for it with your parents. ”

"Okay coach, I got it!" Zhang Xiaorui replied.

Zhu Guanghu saw that there was nothing wrong, so he returned to the head of the team again.

"Lao Li, do we still have talents on the team who are so fluent in English?"

"Who knows? Let's patronize and see the life under our feet, and we didn't care which child would do this during the selection? ”

"Hmm, you're reminding me, when we get there, let's do a statistic..."

Seeing the coach leave, the teenagers came alive again.

"Wow! It's amazing, I speak English so fluently! ”

"At first glance, he is from a big family, so this may be a bilingual tutor, right?"

"Bilingual? I don't look like a half-breed?! ”

In a whisper of praise, Zhang Xiaorui stretched out his hand and hung his arm around the neck of the gumball boy.

"Okay, buddy, cow, can you speak a foreign language? Make a friend! My name is Zhang Xiaorui and I am from Tianjin Sports School. In the future, I want to be a star like Maradona! Dude, what's your name? ”

The gumball boy smiled slightly, looked at the expectant eyes of his peers around him, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "My name is Ou Chuliang." ”
