Chapter 7: Unsolvable Little Misunderstandings

Coach Qiu strode in front of the young man and took the initiative to extend a strong hand to him.

The slightly uneasy young man Jingcai couldn't help but stretch out his right hand and shake it with him, and he felt that this old Qiu was holding it very hard.

"Thanks to you today," Coach Qiu said in a sincere tone, "Your wonderful cameo just now not only saved the team, but also made me, a 'dirt bun', see the charm of Italian football." ”

The careless physical education teacher said this, let go of the big hand holding Jingcai, turned his head again, reached out and patted the shoulder of the smiling black baby, and said: "Haoyu, the teacher has to thank you specially, just now at the most critical moment, you helped me recommend the wonder soldier of Jingcai, oh, by the way, you just said that he played in Italy, I guess, with his current age and level, it should be in the academy of a big club, right?"

When Mr. Qiu said this, he turned his head, looked at the young man with anticipation in his eyes, and guessed hesitantly: "Young man, I don't know...... Which team in Italy did you train in the Academy? ”

Haoyu next to him, it suddenly dawned on him, it turned out that Mr. Qiu misunderstood what he said when he introduced the lottery.

He hurriedly "interrupted" next to him and said, "Teacher Qiu, I just said that he was ...... in Rome."

Haoyu's words were just halfway through, but he didn't expect Coach Qiu to suddenly widen his eyes at Jingcai, and let out a long "oh-" sound from his mouth, so Haoyu's next half of the sentence was not spoken, Haoyu actually wanted to say: Jingcai has played football in the public football field on the streets of Rome since he was a child......

Perhaps because he was impressed by the two magical goals just now, Coach Qiu was full of his understanding at the moment, only to see him hold Jingcai's hand again, and suddenly said: "It turns out that you are a youth player of the Serie A Roma team, no wonder your footwork is so amazing......"

The members of the football team of the second vocational school who were gathered in a circle, hearing the coach say this, also invariably let out exclamations and sighs, which made Coach Qiu want to spit out the football knowledge he knew about football to his disciples.

I saw that this physical education teacher and football coach, who was called Qiu Monster by his classmates behind his back, scanned the surrounding players with a calm gaze, and then, with an excited look on his face, said loudly: "Students, I won't tell you, the old captain of the Serie A Roma team, No. 10 Totti, that is the idol I have been worshipping since I was young!"

As a result, more than a dozen pairs of curious eyes around him were all fixed on his face, and obviously, everyone was waiting for his next step.

Haoyu knows this Coach Qiu's character very well, and he knows that when the Qiu monster comes up, anyone who interrupts him will inevitably be stared at, even the principal!

Therefore, while closing his mouth tightly, he quietly compared his fingers to his lips, reminding the young man not to interrupt Mr. Qiu's topic at this time.

Jingcai is also a very smart person, how can there be no reason?

In the quiet expectant gaze of the surroundings, I only heard Mr. Qiu put on the unique tone of an instructor and continued: "Well, any of you have heard of Totti, please raise your hand."

As soon as his words fell, seven or eight members of the football team of the second vocational school raised their hands one after another.

Nodding thoughtfully, Mr. Qiu raised his tone and continued: "Totti is an excellent player cultivated by the Roma Club Academy, and the Jingcai students in front of us are also from this academy!"

"Oh-" One of the onlookers made a half-truthful sound.

So, Qiu Monster's professional habit of teaching was reinstated, he didn't allow others to interject, cleared his throat, and began a textbook narrative: "Speaking of Totti, I have to popularize football knowledge for everyone, he once represented the Roma youth team in the 1996 European Youth Championship for under-21 players, and led the team to win the championship, and later he entered the first division team of the Roma club, won the 2001 Serie A championship with the team, and soon Totti was selected for the Italian national team, And in 2006, together with his teammates, he won the World Cup for Italy! ”

At this point, he looked around and continued, "Totti has a resounding nickname - the Wolf King!" As an attacking midfielder, he has performed far better for club than for country, with a habit of moving behind two strikers and creating chances for them through passes, while as a shadow centre-forward, he is a good running player who can follow up on the ball and score. Totti was one of the few midfielders in world football at that time who had both strength and skill......"

Qiu Monster spoke to himself, but he didn't notice that some of the team members were already talking to each other.

The teenager on the side, Jingcai, was thinking about whether he should explain to the coach of the football team who was a bit of a "two" to resolve the misunderstanding, and at this moment, the mobile phone in Coach Qiu's pocket suddenly rang, interrupting his self-absorbed narration.

He took out his mobile phone unsatisfied, looked at the screen, suddenly changed his expression, and said to everyone: "I'm sorry, students, it was the principal's call, what I didn't finish just now, let's talk about it later."

After saying that, he hurriedly answered the phone and turned to leave.

Haoyu exhaled a long sigh of relief, and said slightly apologetically to the young man Jingcai: "Jingcai, it's all because I didn't make it clear, so there was a misunderstanding just now, don't worry, I will explain it clearly to Mr. Qiu."

"Hey, Haoyu," the tall and handsome goalkeeper of the second-vocational school football team, who looked very careful, asked next to him, "Are you saying that Mr. Qiu has any misunderstanding, isn't Jingcai from the Roma team academy?" ”

"He-actually......" Haoyu said, thinking about the wording behind, but the young man had a strange feeling in his heart, probably, it was a kind of mood that was raised up by someone to make a mistake, in short, he didn't want to explain anything inexplicably, so he quickly took over the conversation, and said to the goalkeeper with a confused expression: "I did grow up in Rome, but the big star I often come into contact with is not Totti, but ......" At this time, All the team members, including the smiling black baby, and the beautiful school doctor Zhang Furong, who was standing farther away, were all full of expectation.

Purssing his lips so lazily and indifferently, Jing Cai said, "That name, you should all have heard of - his name is Pirlo......"

"Pirlo!" Someone exclaimed, indeed, this name was like a thunderclap, shaking the heartstrings of every onlooker.

In a pair of surprised eyes, Jingcai continued: "There is nothing strange about it, in fact, at that time, my home in Italy was very close to Pirlo's residence."

"Can you tell us about it? How did you meet? Haoyu first asked impatiently.

Elusively squeezed his right eye, and seemed to be reminding Haoyu of something, and then, Jingcai still smiled lazily and said: "Actually, you don't know much about me, tomorrow morning, the old place will find you to practice, don't be late......"

After saying that, he turned around so dashingly, and in a dozen pairs of longing eyes, he lazily walked towards the athlete's exit, and at the same time, the vicissitudes of life, like a commander's face appeared in his mind...... That figure with long hair and a shawl, not majestic, but it was the heart of the once irreplaceable Italian team, and that was the world-class master of tactical passing and free kicks - Pirlo!

Two years ago, in the early morning in Rome, they had an encounter......
