The next day, as usual, he got up early and practiced hard, and then rushed to the training ground in Shang Jiayuan's car.

He could feel that as he got better on the pitch, the players in the team started to have a different attitude towards him.

Players who have no competition with him naturally have a high reputation for him, and greet him from afar. But those who are in competition with him, such as Berio and Yang Xu, they basically ignore him, although there is no contradiction on the surface, but the cold attitude can be seen by everyone.

Needless to say, Yang Xu, as a local striker, since Shao Yifan was promoted to the first team, he began to slowly become a substitute, until Bale joined, he had no chance to play.

As for Berio, because his position overlaps with Shao Yifan, the competition between the two is naturally very fierce. At the beginning, he had the upper hand when Zhang Wailong was in charge, but after Inzaghi took over the team, he also began to be reduced to a substitute and did not get a single start. And recently, Shao Yifan has firmly pressed him on the bench with his outstanding performance on the court, so that he can't see a glimmer of hope to return to his original position.

A local Chinese player pressed foreign aid on the bench, which is also a big news in the Chinese Super League.

They are cold to Shao Yifan, and Shao Yifan naturally will not take the initiative to find it boring, especially after the game with TEDA, Berio's remarks that "you can't win anything by relying on children" made him not have a good impression of him.

Except for Yang Xu and Berio, the relationship between the other barefoot players and Shao Yifan is not bad, and they also take special care of this talented and humble little player.

After the morning training, captain Xie Zhen called him out alone. The two went to the club's lounge area and found a window seat to sit down.

"There are some things you don't want to take ......to heart too much," Xie Zhen said slowly.

"Huh? What the? Shao Yifan was a little confused.

"It's Yang Xu and Berio who ...... you about it," Xie Zhen explained.

"Oh, that! I didn't care. Shao Yifan waved his hand again and again.

"You are still young now, and there will be many such things in the future," Xie Zhen admonished him seriously, "As the saying goes, as long as there are people, there will be rivers and lakes." Our football circle is no exception. The competition between the players, the cold war, the open and the covert...... These are all the more common things. ”

Shao Yifan nodded again and again, it was not the first time he had experienced this, and he had faced a lot of competition in Manchester United's academy before.

The reason why Xie Zhen specifically called him over to talk so much is actually because he is more optimistic about Shao Yifan, he likes this humble and hard-working player more, and doesn't want him to take so many detours, "In our country, there may be more problems, our club is better foreign-owned, like all kinds of unprofessional operations in other local teams, it's really disgusting to say." ”

"Also, in our country, football doesn't have a good reputation. You can take a look, under every piece of news about football, there must be people who scold Chinese football. Even many people don't want to look at Chinese football, as long as they see these four words, it will be a scolding. So, you don't have to worry about this in the future, just play your own ball. Xie Zhen preached to him helplessly.

Shao Yifan nodded, he also had a certain understanding of these.

"If you have the opportunity to stay abroad, then don't let go of the opportunity, you still have to break through when you are young!" Xie Zhen said again. In fact, he is only twenty-four years old now, although he is much older than Shao Yifan, he is still a very young player on the court. How many young players don't aspire to go out and make a career of their own?

"I'll definitely go if I have the chance." Shao Yifan replied firmly.

Xie Zhen smiled with satisfaction. After that, the two chatted for a while, and then said goodbye to each other.

……

In the afternoon, in the club leisure area next to the training ground, Shao Yifan accepted an exclusive interview from Station D. For the Honored Academy

The reporter of Station D first presented him with an MVP trophy of Station D and took a group photo. Shao Yifan is also very happy, which is a recognition of him.

Then, the interview began.

The reporter asked: "You came out of the Manchester United academy, tell me your impression of it?" ”

Although he knew the problem in advance, he still pretended to ponder for a while and said: "There are some top youth schools in the world, there are many excellent teenagers, and Manchester United is also a great club. ”

"Then do you think there is a chance for young Chinese players to enter Manchester United's academy?" The reporter asked again.

Shao Yifan showed a confident smile and said: "Of course, there are many talented children in China, as long as there is a sound discovery mechanism, there is no problem at all to go to Manchester United Academy." ”

The reporter nodded and continued to ask: "You grew up abroad, did you feel uncomfortable after returning to China?" ”

"Although I grew up in the UK, I have been taking Chinese classes since I was a child and eating Chinese food a lot, so I don't feel uncomfortable." Shao Yifan replied step by step.

"What made you launch the England junior team and return to China?" The journalist asked.

"Hmm...... England was where I grew up, and China was my home, and in the end I chose to go home, and that's it. Shao Yifan said.

The reporter asked, "So who is your favorite star?" ”

"Kaka." He replied.

"What about active duty?"

"Cristiano Ronaldo." He continued.

"Can you explain?"

"Because Cristiano Ronaldo is Manchester United's No. 7." Shao Yifan said with a smile.

"Ha, I see." The reporter was a little surprised, he asked many players this question, and Shao Yifan's answer was really the first time he encountered it.

Next, the reporter continued to ask him questions, and he answered them one by one.

Soon, the interview ended, and after saying goodbye to the reporter at Station D, Shao Yifan breathed a sigh of relief, this was his first time being interviewed, and he was indeed a little worried about something going wrong. But now it seems that everything is fine, very well.

So, after a brief explanation with Shang Jiayuan, Shao Yifan returned to training.

After winning the match against Shenhua, they have reached the twelfth position in the league, and the pressure of relegation has eased. However, it should not be taken lightly, and the next away game against Chongqing still has to go all out.

However, the good news is that after the match against Chongqing, it will be a month-long break in the Chinese Super League, and they will have a chance to adjust.

Although Bale has scored in both games, his cooperation with the team is not tacit enough, and there should be a greater improvement after the training camp during the break.
