Chapter 1: When I Wake Up
"!!" Zhang Shu angrily kicked the suitcase on the side of the road. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"! ! ! ! !! Startled by his loud curses, several small birds flew away from the quiet woods in a hurry.
The fashion capital, Milan. There are fashions that make women fall in love with them, and there are also football that make men dream of football. Just a few minutes ago, Zhang Shu had just been rejected by the Milan academy.
"Boy, do you know where this is? This is a Milan club! β
The swaggering face of the training ground security guard seemed to still be shaking in front of his eyes, and Zhang Shu could even smell the bad breath that the security guard had sprayed on his face with his big mouth.
It's been three months since the end of the World Cup. In the past three months, Zhang Shu has sold the inheritance left by his parents and obtained a tourist visa to Europe. At the same time, I did not forget to enroll in a class to learn some simple English, Italian and Portuguese.
Zhang Shu thought very clearly, he played football to get the joy of victory, but if he stayed in China, he would not be able to get enough opportunities.
Since the national team returned from the World Cup fiasco, criticism of Chinese football will no longer have the concern of going against public opinion, and various media have emerged in an endless stream of news revealing the inside story of Chinese football, and Zhang Shu has seen a lot of these news.
He is just a powerless orphan, and although the money he has left on hand can make his life worry-free for a short time, it is not enough to make a relationship to change himself from an amateur player who has never received professional training to a professional player.
What's more, the big dye vat of Chinese football, what if you stay for a long time and are assimilated, you can not be the best player, but you can't lose your passion for football and your passion for victory. If football doesn't excite him anymore, then where is he going to find a way to make himself happy?
So with the idea of playing in the best league in the world, Zhang Shu came to Europe.
Before coming to Europe, Zhang Shu returned to school and participated in a competition for high school students. After all, he hasn't played a ball once since he got the jade pendant system. Although theoretically speaking, the jade pendant system is a very rebellious plug-in, but it is always uneasy that it has not been tested.
After a try, the result surprised Zhang Shu, and the jade pendant slowed down the world, which was equivalent to increasing Zhang Shu's reaction speed. The average player needs a reaction time to make his or her own action after seeing the opponent make a move. For Zhang Shu, the actions of the defenders are like snails in his eyes, and he can judge the opponent's intentions and make the most advantageous choice. And when you control the ball, because your body's running speed is also slowed down, you can touch the ball more accurately in slow motion, whether it is stopping the ball or shooting, it becomes extremely simple.
It's like playing a game with gear shifting, and an average gamer can do something as amazing as a pro.
This experiment also gave Zhang Shu confidence.
Unfortunately, he forgot that he was a Chinese. And it's a Chinese, amateur player.
I had planned to start my career in a second-rate league like Portugal, the Netherlands and even Belgium, but the cruel reality made the naΓ―ve Zhang Shu run into a bloody mess, and most clubs didn't even let him in the training ground.
During this period, it was not without the club that gave him a chance, but unfortunately his body that had not undergone professional training since he was a child made all the youth coaches give up on him at the first physical test.
"We're sorry, we're not a small club, and even if it's a youth team, it's impossible to recruit an amateur player from an unknown background."
"Haha,Chineseγγγγγγ Football is much more difficult than table tennisγγγγγ By the way, can you tell the difference between football and table tennis? β
"Your physical condition is too poor, your speed is not fast, and your physical fitness is even worse. I don't think it's necessary to let you go to training matches again. β
The same words are said by different people in different places. After being rejected countless times, Zhang Shu silently found that he only had one country left to go to. Italy.
In 2002, the Italian league has not lost the aura of the small World Cup, although the Premier League La Liga is eyeing up, but for Zhang Shu, who grew up watching Serie A broadcasts, Italy is still the first league in his mind. With such a high-level league, can you impress them?
After nearly a month of blows, Zhang Shu understands his shortcomings very well. Without an agent and family by his side, it's hard for a 16-year-old to convince big-shouldered stadium security guards that he's not trying to sneak in and ask for autographs. And he is thin, and he has no advantage in speed. But the biggest shortcoming lies in physical fitness. The youth players who have been trained since childhood can complete their own eight streets even if they are in the worst physical fitness, and the pace of the junior high school league they participate in is too slow, and in the opinion of professional coaches, they can't hold on to a half-time even in a relatively slow-paced game like a youth team game.
When he was turned away by Milan, Zhang Shu himself knew that maybe Italy would be the last place where his dream would be shattered. My European tourist visa is about to expire, and in the past month, I have gone to all the clubs I can go to, even if I have time... Of course, Milan City has another world-renowned club - Inter Milan, but can a giant like Inter Milan still look up to itself?
It was getting dark, and Zhang Shu stopped venting about the suitcase. He sat on the side of the road, his head buried between his legs, his whole body like a stone sculpture, lifeless.
I don't know how long it took, but the world around me was completely quiet. The players and coaches who finished training have long since left, the stadium staff have completed the aftermath and locked the gates, and the fans who came to see the training have left the stadium one after another. Zhang Shu raised his head, ready to go back to the city to find a place to live first.
"Damn, where's my bag??!!"
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and when Zhang Shu finally cheered up, he found that he had encountered even more trouble - his suitcase was missing without knowing when.
Italy's poor security environment has taught a good lesson to teenagers who have lived in harmony with China since childhood.
The suitcase contained all his clothes and most of the cash, and Zhang Shu touched his pockets, but there was nothing but papers and a little change.
"It's over..." Zhang Shu felt a burst of despair. originally thought that with the help of the jade pendant system, he could become a professional player, continue to win, and save his parents, but who knew that in the end it was a failure. I don't even know where I'm going tonight.
---------------------------------------------------------
Tulio Tynti has been in a good mood lately, although Milan brought in Rivaldo, who has just helped Brazil win the World Cup, this year, as the agent of Pirlo, who also plays as a striker, Tinti is naturally a little uneasy about this. However, the team's boss Carlo Ancelotti still told Tynti with certainty that Andrea Pirlo had not lost his place in Milan. Ancelotti was even ready to devise a strategy with Pirlo at its core.
Pirlo is currently just a young man who has just made a name for himself in the relegation team, and there is no need to lie to appease himself as Ancelotti.
"If Andre can really be the heart of Milan... Tynti was thinking in his heart as he drove.
"Danger!" So when the distracted Tinti found that he was about to hit someone, all he could do was to pray for the boy who was about to be knocked off.
But the teenager who was supposed to be hit by the car jumped up against the speeding car, put his hand on the hood of the car, and then stepped on the hood with his right foot in the air, and the whole person jumped from the roof of the car.
"What a situation! Super Warrior? Tinty, who finally got out of the car, opened the car door, ran out of the car, and looked at the young man with a frightened expression standing firmly on the ground, and finally let go of his hanging heart. Are you okay? β
---------------------------------------------------------
Looking at the gobbling teenager, Tindy rubbed his chin with his hand, slowly recalling the story he had just heard.
An amateur player from China? It's interesting. As an economist, Tinti also understands English. When I heard the boy say in English that he was a Chinese, I immediately thought that he was a martial arts master from China.
But if it's really a martial arts master, it won't be like someone stealing your luggage without knowing it.
Out of professional sensitivity, Tindy is more interested in teenagers. Judging from his skills just now, at least his reaction speed was the fastest Tinti had ever seen. And the fact that he was able to make that movement just now means that his physical coordination is also very good. You know, the average person can run from a stationary car. But it doesn't take a lot of power to step over a speeding car, it's a lot of timing and skill. In this way, the moment when the surface of the foot and the surface of the car are in contact, the force direction error caused by the huge inertia can be resisted. If it is an ordinary person, even jumping on a treadmill that is running at high speed is very easy to fall.
So maybe he's really a good player? Anyway, there is nothing to lose by taking him to a tryout, if he is really a piece of jade, then he will earn it.
After weighing the pros and cons, Tingdi finally spoke: "Zhang, although you are not injured, in order to express my apologies, how about I give you a chance tomorrow?" β
"What?" Zhang Shu, who was constantly stuffing food into his mouth, raised his head and asked.
"Actually, I have a good relationship with the Milan club, I'll take you to try it tomorrow?"
Bang~! The ceramic dinner plate was thrown out by the excited Zhang Shu.
