Chapter 4: A group of jugglers
The Birds are a traditional powerhouse in the first division, a big club that has been developing for nearly two decades, and has done a very good job of receiving young players for trials. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as they entered the door, a staff member came up to ask Bang Lin and Luo Tian about their intentions, and then took them to an auditorium, where hundreds of people were already seated, most of them were teenagers, and some were parents. The staff who led the way took Bang Lin and Luo Tian to a table in the front row of the auditorium, and respectfully said to a fat man sitting at the table, "Director Wang, there are two more who have come for trial." ”
"Hmm." The fat man replied lightly. The staff turned and left. The fat man took out two training vests from the cardboard box beside him, threw them to Bang Lin, glanced at Luo Tian, who was more than half a head shorter on the side, frowned, and said, "One piece per person, register your name first." ”
"Bang Forest, Neighboring State, Forest of Forests." Bang Lin was the first to register.
"Huh?" The fat man was bypassed by Bang Lin's introduction, and he didn't know how to put pen to paper for a while.
"The help is half of the help, and the forest is the forest of the woods." Bang Lin put it another way. His name gets into trouble every time it's introduced.
"Hmm." The fat man understood this time. "What's the number?"
"Huh?" This time it was Banglin's turn to not understand.
"What's the size on the vest?" The fat man was impatient.
"Oh. Number 71. "The vest that Bang Lin was given is No. 71.
"Next." The fat man looked at Luo Tian.
"My name is Luo Tian, and Luo is... Uh..."
"Okay, what's the number?" Luo Tian wants to learn from Banglin, and he is still thinking about how to use Luo to form a word, and the fat man has already written it here.
"Number 10." Luo Tian got the No. 10 very domineeringly.
The fat man was probably also startled by No. 10, and glanced up at Luo Tian again, before continuing to register. After doing this, the fat man stood up and shouted into the room: "Our batch can start, and those who have registered will follow me, and the parents will not follow." Then he walked out through another door.
Bang Lin and Luo Tian hurriedly followed the fat man, and the other teenagers also followed one after another. Bang Lin secretly estimated that there should be more than 60 people in their batch. I don't know how many batches there are, but it seems that the attraction of big clubs is still very impressive.
The team was taken to another room, and the fat man first pointed to a corner and said, "There is a bag of shoes over there, and a bag of jerseys, if you don't have it, go and change it first, and find your own size." Others came to measure their height and weight first. ”
Banglin originally planned to wear the T-shirt on his body for a trial, but when he saw that the jersey was changing, he decided to change it first. The light-colored T-shirt was basically useless after a kick, and he didn't have that much money to waste on buying new clothes now.
Walking to the corner where the jersey was placed, Bang Lin found that Luo Tian had also followed. "You're going to change it too?" Luo Tian wore a set of regular sportswear today, and he came completely prepared.
"Nope. I'll wait for you together. Luo Tian said and stood aside and waited.
Bang Lin thought about it and understood that Luo Tian was only a high school student after all, he had no social experience, and his personality was still a little shy, so he was definitely not suitable for such a strange occasion. It may already be a challenge for him to come to the trial alone, but now that he knows Banglin, it seems that he already treats the two of them as a collective, and everything should be done together. Thinking of this, Bang Lin simply asked Luo Tian to help him find his shoes.
About half an hour later, Bang Lin and Luo Tian mixed in the crowd and set off towards the training ground. Banglin is 181 cm tall and weighs 67.5 kg, which is somewhat thin. And Luo Tian's height is 169 cm, and his weight is 51 kg, a data that makes girls envious and jealous, but Bang Lin pinched a sweat for Luo Tian, and it can be seen from the frowning brows when the fat man measured Luo Tian just now that such physical conditions do not meet the requirements.
Along the way, we passed several small training grounds, and the people running on the field were all my age, and it seemed that they had already started a trial. When walking through a field the size of a regular stadium, their group suddenly became commotion, pointing at the field, and a few bold ones had already shouted,
"Oooh! Tang Haoyu! ”
"Li Xiaotong!"
"Look! Wu Feng! That's Wu Feng! ”
Bang Lin was at a loss, Luo Tian had already squeezed in front of him, pointed to a corner near the court with an excited face, and whispered: "Look! It's Li Xiaotong over there! ”
Bang Lin followed Luo Tian's direction and saw that there were three players doing warm-up activities over there. "Which one?"
"That's it, I'm doing a leg press."
"Oh. Who is Li Xiaotong? ”
Luo Tian turned his head abruptly and looked at Bang Lin incredulously, "You don't know Li Xiaotong!?" Frightened, Luo Tian's tone rose all the way, and the people around him heard it, and they all looked at Bang Lin, and everyone's expressions were the same as Luo Tian's, full of incredulity.
"Ahem, joke, joke." Bang Lin said that his heart was not good, so he hurriedly explained to everyone, then raised his hand and shouted at the audience, "Li Xiaotong!" ”
Bang Lin's voice was very loud, and Li Xiaotong, who was pressing his legs, obviously heard it, raised his head and glanced at this side, and then waved his hand at the crowd. This wave of his hand aroused even greater enthusiasm, and for a while everyone shouted, "Li Xiaotong!" Li Xiaotong! "I have long forgotten the existence of Banglin. Bang Lin breathed a sigh of relief and joined the crowd and shouted.
Probably infected by everyone's enthusiasm, Li Xiaotong straightened up and waved his hand to the crowd a few times, and then picked up a football next to him with his toes, and performed a juggling ball, which attracted even more cheers. Several teenagers who were tryouting on the adjacent field also noticed this scene and joined in the cheers, Li Xiaotong seemed to enjoy such cheers, and used his thighs, shoulders, foreheads and other parts to make a fancy juggling ball, and several players nearby also approached and played various fancy moves, the scene was dazzling, and the movement caused was getting bigger and bigger.
"Li Xiaotong!"
"Wu Feng!"
"Xiang Wenxing!"
The names of the players were shouted and people kept coming to join Banglin and their team, teenagers from further afield, ordinary fans who were already watching training from the sidelines, and club staff. The fat man who led the team originally had the heart to maintain order, but after seeing Li Xiaotong start to juggle the ball, he also stood silently on the side and watched.
This lively scene lasted for more than ten minutes before stopping, and in the end, almost all the players ran over, some showed off their skills, some waved to the fans, some signed autographs for the fans, and some took photos with the female fans in their arms.
Banglin, who was watching all this in the crowd, shook his head secretly in his heart, where is this a group of players, it is simply a group of jugglers, the regular training time of a first-tier league team, the players have the time to interact with the fans to such a degree, and the personnel of the club seem to be accustomed to this kind of scene, and even happy to see it, it is like child's play.
If such a thing is placed in a developed country in football, even a team in a lower league, it is impossible to see it. Player-fan interaction is something that clubs should support, but it should never interfere with the players' daily training and games, it's an iron law.
The development of football relies on the joint efforts of all levels, and the blame is placed on the ability of the players, the level of the coach or the shortcomings of the system are very narrow, and the management of the club itself is what should really be valued.
Bang Lin's heart suddenly felt a little sad, he used to be a club manager, but he could only use his abilities in a foreign country. Now he has the opportunity to play, but there is still nothing he can do to change other than to improve his level.
"Keep up, run! Warm up thoroughly. The fat man's voice interrupted Banglin's thoughts, and the trial officially began.
The trial process in the morning was very simple, after the warm-up, everyone lined up to practice sprinting and jumping, and then passed in groups of two and threes, and after about 50 minutes, the trial was over. The fat man picked a dozen people, and then announced to the rest of the people that this trial was over.
Bang Lin and Luo Tian were both selected, standing behind the fat man, looking at the disappointed teenagers in front of them, some of them had begun to complain to the people around them that the ball was not stopped just now, or that a pass was a little off, Bang Lin was not happy at all because his level was affirmed, because he could see that the people who were selected were all over 180 tall and not too slow, or people with obvious talent in speed like Luo Tian.
It can be said that the first round is to select the physical condition, and the passing practice after that is just to satisfy the trial experience of these teenagers, and it is not really paid attention to at all. It's right to pay attention to physical condition, but if you use physical condition as a threshold to judge whether you can play football like this, I don't know how many young people with football talent will be missed.
Bang Lin is very glad that his height has not been changed back to 16 years old by Xiao Qi, because he has not grown to 180 cm when he is 16 years old.
At lunchtime, the people who participated in the afternoon trial had been gathered, a total of exactly 40 people, and sure enough, most of them were taller than Banglin, and most of them were physically strong. Bang Lin secretly compared, and found that if he simply competed in height and strength, he was ranked last, and those who were weaker than himself, according to the fat coach's selection ideas, should be players who were better at speed, so it seems that he is actually the last of the 40 people, and the situation is not optimistic.
The noon break Bang Lin was spent in Luo Tian's chatter, and he really didn't see it before, Luo Tian, this kid, turned out to be a chatter after getting acquainted with it. According to the observation in the morning, Luo Tian is really a good seedling who plays football, with fast speed, good physical fitness, and relatively accurate passing, but he is not very good at power control, the ball is passed more rushing, and he doesn't seem to be very good at stopping the ball. As for the performance in the actual game, Banglin estimated that he would be able to see it in the afternoon.
