Chapter 2: Welcome to the world of FIFA
Seeing Gao Sheng return to the team, the discussion around him was a little smaller, but the snickering and ridicule were still real. In front of the line, Joseph. Samp closed the folder and scanned the teenagers a few times before finally landing on Gao Sheng.
Looking at the lonely figure in the corner of the team, unlike the previous sharpness, Samp became much softer, and at the same time a little more complicated.
For this disciple, Joseph. It was difficult for Samp to explain for a while. If it had been two years ago, he would have made no secret of his dislike for ascension, for no other reason, in the form of sponsorship, without his permission, shoehorned into a so-called "genius", a typical commercial football, Joseph. Samp was very disgusted.
But after two years of getting along, Gao Sheng used diligence and perseverance to completely reverse the opinion of the English coach.
There is no doubt that this is the shining point of exaltation, Joseph. Samp appreciated it very much, but the more he admired Samp, the more helpless and even sympathetic he felt.
Because compared to two years ago, Gao Sheng's promotion has barely improved, and his diligence and persistence have not brought him any changes, which is too fatal for players in the growth period.
Maybe when you are young, you have a good talent and a superior understanding, but after a long period of stagnation, you will eventually be out of the crowd until you are eliminated from this circle.
Gao Sheng was sixteen years old when he came to the team, and some things were already in his bones, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't change them. If it had been two years earlier, Samp believed that Yi Gao's diligence would not be the current situation, at least he would not lag behind his peers, coupled with his physical fitness and speed, there is every hope that he will gain a foothold in Ipswich and even have higher space.
It's just a pity that time doesn't turn back.
With this in mind, Joseph. Samp looked at Gao Sheng and sighed, and there was a little more regret in his soft eyes, but this softness was quickly replaced by sharpness.
"The end of the summer assessment does not mean that you can rest easy, in fact, if you want to enter the first team, the three games in ten days will really determine whether you have the qualification to enter the first team, good luck! Disband! ”
Joseph. Samp didn't say much, and left with two assistants after speaking, and the teenagers in the center of the field were also scattered, as for the summer assessment not long ago, it had long been forgotten, and at the same time, Gao Sheng in the corner had been forgotten, and the three games in ten days later had become the new focus of discussion. ……

"Brother Gao Sheng!"
Gao Sheng dragged at the end of the team, pacing aimlessly towards the exit of the training ground, and when he was depressed, about twenty meters in front of him, he heard a rough voice that was unique to the voice change period.
Gao Sheng looked up, and stood in front of a young man of mixed white and Indian race, who was only ten months younger than him, if Gao Sheng remembered correctly.
The mixed-race boy is none other than Yodel, a cousin who lives in the landlord's house, a younger brother who sleeps in the same room, and a genius boy who came to Ipswich a year ago.
Gao Sheng beckoned, and Yodel grinned a row of white teeth, fluffy curly hair, and a smile that looked extremely gorgeous.
"Brother Gao Sheng."
When he came to him, Yodel called out affectionately again, and at the same time showed the respect that his brother adored his brother to his brother.
"Am I still qualified to call you that?" Looking at Yodel, who was a lap younger than him but had rapidly grown into a future star of Ipswich, Gao Sheng asked bitterly, he was one of the very few people who did not treat him differently and still maintained respect after his stagnation.
"Brother Gao Sheng, you used to tell me that if you can't do it now, it doesn't mean that you won't work in the future, people live not only to be physical but also spiritual! Looking forward, life is meaningful. Yodel was very serious, and his voice was rough, but it was also heartwarming.
"Huh! I'm just casually talking, you look at my current appearance, what does it look like Xiaoqiang? Look forward...... It's time for me to look forward, the world is so big. Gao Sheng laughed at himself and replied with a smile.
In the face of the decadent Gao Sheng, Yodel frowned slightly and said seriously: "Brother Gao Sheng, are you going to give up?" You weren't like this before! No matter what difficulties you encountered before, you will always be full of confidence, and nothing can defeat you! Before, now, and in the future, I think so! ”
"I didn't know anything before, but now I understand." Gao Sheng reached out and stroked Yodel's hair, looked to the east, unmoved.
"Aren't there three games left unplayed? How do you know no? "Yodel is in a hurry.
"Hehe..."Gao Sheng glanced at him and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Do you think I still have a chance?" Then he stopped talking, threw his training jacket over his shoulders, and walked slowly towards the exit in a lonely way...
Stunned in place, looking at the lonely back elongated in the sunset, Yodel hesitated for a moment, and finally chased after him quickly, circled left and right, and walked side by side with the boy......

Ipswich is a municipality directly under the jurisdiction of the city of Ipswich, and its commercial boom has brought economic dividends to this small city that has existed since Roman times, as well as the pressure of dense population.
When night falls, eating can always become the most concerned thing for the residents of the small town.
Backed by the Olver River, the Ilmez run a restaurant at the end of the street, and they are Yodel's cousin and landlord in England.
It was the busiest time for the restaurant, and the couple were not idle, frequently shuttling between the kitchen and the antechamber. In the past, this point in time would always be present at the front hall cash register, but today it is not.
After saying hello to the landlord, Ilmez, he went straight to the second floor and locked himself in his room.
"Mom! It's me, I decide. ”
"Son! You've decided?! That's great! When will you return home? I asked the driver to pick it up..."
"No need Mom, I... I want to take a break first. ”
"Distracted? …… Good! It's good to relax, do you still have money on you? Mom will call you later......"
"No need mom......"
"Son? Son ......"
"Toot ~ Toot ~ "
Lying on his back on the bunk bed, the mobile phone screen was still on after the phone, and he lay quietly on the edge of his fingertips, and the low ceiling rose for a long time, and there were originally two posters pasted there.
Two of his favourite stars, former England Manchester United double No.7, David Brown, are two of his favourite stars. David Beckham, as well as the everlasting darling of the Theatre of Dreams, Real Madrid's leading striker Cristiano. Ronaldo.
But not long ago, it became two unwanted pieces of waste paper at the door, and two snow-white ceilings.
In the past, Gao Sheng always watched Manchester United's No.7 fall asleep, and then competed with them in his dreams, swaying wantonly.
Now, Gao Sheng has never been so hesitant and overwhelmed as he is now, and the future is like a newly exposed ceiling in front of him, blank.
He is proud of it, and regards it as all football, which has come to an end, he is not convinced, he is unwilling, but there is no way.
Looking back, proud, confident, and unwilling to admit defeat, he can always get the best he thinks, such as the first. In his cognition, no one seems to be able to make him say sorry and disappoint you.
If there is, the only thing Gao Sheng can think of is his father, a middle-aged man who has never said to himself, you must take the first place, and you must be the best.
He only remembered what his father said to the official when he left Spain, and his father said: I am smart enough to go bankrupt and will not let my son stay in the fifth level of the amateur team!
In this way, I came to England and Ipswich, who thought I could realize my dream.
Now, if he still wants to leave in disgrace, his father may not say anything, but he will definitely feel disappointed in his heart.
After watching it for a long time, I thought about it a lot, and Gao Sheng was tired.
With the moonlight coming in from the window, shouting from time to time, Gao Sheng fell asleep, and it seemed that there was no more.
He came to an unknown space that seemed to be real and false, shrouded in fog, and could not see the surrounding objects clearly.
Gao Sheng raised his palms and slowly groped forward, I don't know how long it took, there was still no change around his body, and the fog seemed to be thicker.
Gradually, Gao Sheng was afraid, he wanted to leave, but no matter how he walked or ran, he couldn't get out, and he was still trapped in that hazy and chaotic unknown space.
At this moment, there seemed to be a faint cry from the hazy edge.
High ascension ~ high ascension ~
Gao Sheng searched for the source of the sound and groped for the past.
And just as he was about to get close to the source of the sound, a sudden gust of wind accompanied by a dazzling bright light made Gao Sheng have to raise his palms to block his eyes.
In a moment, the wind stopped, the light stopped dazzling, and Gao Sheng saw everything around him clearly.
It's a stadium!
A huge stadium with a capacity of 100,000 people!
Gao Sheng stood in the middle of the pitch, surrounded by the turquoise and fluffy turf, with white-painted goals standing at both ends of the pitch and empty stands on either side......
"It's ...... Theater of Dreams? Gao Sheng couldn't help but shout.
He squinted his eyes, trying to figure out if it was a dream or reality, but someone had taken a step to find out what was going on in his heart.
"Welcome to the world of FIFA." ……
