Chapter 8: Pain Doesn't Exist

Shi Hao came to the site of the dribbling test. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When they were in the club's youth team, they often used triangular cones for dribbling. It's the same in this draft, but the triangular pyramid used is more advanced, with sensors that beep if touched.

A total of 20 triangular cones were placed on the test site, with the first 15 at 1 meter 5 intervals and the last 5 at 1 meter intervals.

The test rule is to dribble around all triangular pyramids as fast as possible, and there can be no omissions; When dribbling past the last 5 triangular pyramids, you must do fancy maneuvers, and at the end you will be scored according to the time you have completed. Each person will be tested 3 times, and the best one will be selected.

After asking the staff for clarity on the rules, Shi Hao quietly lined up and waited patiently for his last basic ability test.

He watched the teenagers in front of him nervous or confident, skillful or stumbling through the test, and suddenly felt that such a test was actually unfair to defensive players. It's okay to say that the ball sense is very important. Long passes are also important to enrich the team's attacking tools. But what does a defender do with dribbling and shooting? Are you preparing to start dribbling and dribbling from the back?

But since it's a draft, not a serious tryout, you have to give up some pragmatic things and add something eye-catching.

And defensive players don't need to compete with offensive players. According to the draft rules, players are divided into 6 categories based on position: goalkeeper, central defender, full-back, midfielder, full-back/winger, forward. Everyone just has to compare themselves to the candidates in their own position.

So don't look at Daniel Zhang's loss to Shi Hao in the long passing project, even if he is worse than Shi Hao in every project, he may stand out in the position of central defender; On the other hand, Shi Hao may not necessarily be able to compete for other candidates in the winger or striker position.

Moreover, these four basic ability tests only account for 50% of the total score, and the other 50% depends on the results of the randomly assigned offensive and defensive group half-court offensive and defensive drills.

What made Shi Hao feel unconfident was this half-court offensive and defensive drill.

The basic skills are real, you can do it, and if you can't do it, even if you are lucky, don't want to get top-notch results.

The half-court offensive and defensive drills are different, on the one hand, this depends too much on the strength of teammates, if teammates are all pigs, they can't even get the ball, how to behave? Second, what is the level of the judges, do they really understand the ball? Will it be favoritism? None of this is easy to say.

While waiting, Shi Hao wandered outside, and when he began to recall the touch of Liu Xiyu's thigh, the staff called his name.

He calmly stepped forward, placed the ball thrown by the staff firmly on the starting line, and sank down slightly.

When the staff blew the whistle, he rushed out with the ball like an arrow from a string.

The moment he activated, he knew it was broken.

His dominant foot is the right foot, although the left foot technique is also very good, left and right bow is not a problem, and he can also use the left foot skillfully to pull the ball and play the ball in the dribble, but when running with the ball, it is more comfortable to start this time with the left foot as the support foot, and the right foot to go out of the ball feels more comfortable, and it always feels a little awkward to use the right foot to support.

The moment he activated, he clearly heard a crunch on his left ankle. It's not a fracture, but it's definitely broken.

When his left foot lifted and landed again, he was right in front of the first triangular cone.

It hurts to the heart. The body staggered.

Shi Hao reluctantly flicked the ball around the triangular cone and chased after it. For no reason, he remembered Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Daughter of the Sea", in which the mermaid princess turned the fish's tail into human legs and came to shore, and every step was painful.

It's this pain.

But I can't be defeated.

He went around the second triangular cone.

Maybe I didn't have a chance in this draft. The so-called signing of Inter is also just a gimmick.

But every step of the way is real, fulfilling my dream. If I stumble here and give up, I'm no longer qualified to say the word dream.

He went around the third triangular cone.

His speed is like the wind.

The foot is not mine. Pain is non-existent. When I'm done, whatever you want, don't make trouble for me now!

Shi Hao gritted his teeth and bypassed the fourth triangular cone.

Mr. Court came to the side of the venue at some point, with a smile on his lips, and looked at Shi Hao with great interest.

After the 15th triangular cone, Shi Hao successively left Marseille and right Marseille, 5 consecutive Marseille slaloms, and passed the last 5 triangular cones with fancy movements.

The moment I crossed the last triangular cone, an electronic voice sounded in my head again: "The power of dreams is insufficient, please recharge as soon as possible." Currently 94%. ”

Then he sat down on the ground, clutching his ankles, not even wanting to listen to the results.

"Shi Hao, Shi Hao!"

"What?" Shi Hao raised his head and saw the staff impatiently waving the recording paper.

"Two more times, hurry up!"

"Not coming."

"What?"

"I didn't expect it, so let's take this result as the standard." Shi Hao reluctantly stood up and limped away from the venue so as not to affect other people's tests.

The staff muttered something, Shi Hao didn't hear it clearly, and he didn't want to pay attention to it, now he just wanted to find a place to sit well, and it was best to buy a bottle of ice mineral water for a cold compress.

"Please wait!"

Shi Hao turned around and saw the blonde Curt and the translator walking briskly, and Curt kept talking as he walked.

'Mr Court said you did a great job with the ball and the feel and rhythm of the ball, it was a wonderful Marseille slalom.

"Thank you!" Shi Hao nodded slightly.

"Mr. Court, do you have an injury to your left ankle?"

"Yes."

After hearing the translator's paraphrase, Court said another sentence, and then looked at Shi Hao with kind eyes.

"Mr. Court said, I hope you have a good rest and adjustment, and I look forward to seeing your wonderful performance in tomorrow's half-time offensive and defensive drills."

"I will. If nothing else, I'll go first. Shi Hao didn't deliberately pretend to be cool and wanted to be cold, but his ankle hurt so much that he couldn't stand it.

After the translator paraphrased, he smiled, "The next words are my own. Mr. Court has watched a lot of young players here today, and he shows the most interest in you. Come on, I hope you can make it through the final election and travel to Italy. ”

That being said, his expression betrayed his true thoughts in his heart - he wasn't that optimistic about Shi Hao.

Shi Hao understands very well that the football in Tsurumai City is at a low level in the country, even if he is the best performer in Tsurumai City, he is not necessarily competitive compared with those teenagers in the province with strong football.

But he still responded politely to this blessing: "Thank you auspiciously, see you tomorrow!" ”

Half-court drills will take place on the second day of the draft. Shi Hao's ankle hurt so badly that he didn't bother to watch other teenagers' performances, and after completing the tests of the four basic items, he limped home.

In the evening, Liu Xiyu called to ask, Shi Hao told the situation calmly, he didn't think there was anything, but Xiao Nizi seemed very excited, and kept asking for details.

Hearing that Daniel Zhang was willing to gamble and lose, and squatted for ten minutes, Liu Xiyu giggled on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Shi Hao still had three points of reluctance, and six distractions, but in the end, it was a warmth.

If it weren't for Liu Xiyu, he might have given up football completely two years ago. When he first transferred to another school, he was still on crutches and could only watch his classmates running on the playground with envy. Therefore, he has been lonely and depressed. Until that day, Liu Xiyu came over and handed him a book.
