Antwerp in September was rainy and rainy.

Early in the morning, under the drizzle, Yu Liang wore a sweatshirt and a football under his feet, and came to the empty training ground again.

Because yesterday was a match day, this morning's training session was cancelled and the team had some recovery training in the afternoon.

But for Yu Liang, all this time is precious.

At this time, Yu Liang is like a sponge, fully absorbing nutrients, using every free time to train and improve his level.

After more than a month of training, Yu Liang's ball sense has obviously improved a lot, at least when he dribbles the ball now, he won't stumble like he did a few months ago.

"When did he come?"

Unbeaten in three rounds and accumulating five points, although such a start was a bit lackluster, Van Ake was very satisfied with such a start.

The players get half a day's rest, but as the head coach of the team, there is no such treatment.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Van Ack arrived at the club.

Standing at the gate of the club, Van Ake could clearly see Yu Liang training alone in the training ground.

He has heard of Yu Liang coming to train in advance every morning and staying to practice every night. It's just that he doesn't care, every club has no shortage of hard-working players, such as Mihem, who is also a training maniac.

But there was no training session this morning, and Yu Liang was able to come and continue training, which surprised Van Ake.

"Roar, he's been here for a long time! Every day I wake up and be able to see him. ”

Uncle Hank, the club's goalkeeper, took a look at Van Ake next to him and set his sights on the training ground.

"Perhaps, he'll take my job!"

"Huh...... Old man, even if he wants to get an extra salary, it depends on whether I want to or not! ”

Listening to Hank joking there, Van Ack laughed.

I am very satisfied with Yu Liang's diligent performance.

"Huh, if Dong is as diligent as Yu Liang, maybe ......"

Van Ack shook his head at the thought of this, and then walked straight into the club.

In the afternoon, the training ground became lively, and although the sky was still drizzling, the recovery training was still going on as usual.

Unbeaten in three rounds, with five points, they are in fifth place in the league, and although the results are not particularly ideal, the players are very relaxed. From time to time, there would be bursts of laughter in the training ground.

Before the start of the season, when the team was preparing for training, although there were fans and reporters on the sidelines of the training every day, there were never so many.

Lu Bing, who was standing outside the training ground, looked at Yu Liang and King Dong, who were training seriously in the training ground, and he frowned.

Coming to Belgium is an opportunity for him and a breakthrough in his career. Unfortunately, now, his future is beginning to become bleak.

Just like Yu Liang and King Dong in the field.

The moment they joined Manchester United pushed their lives to a high point, and they were accompanied by flowers, applause and praise. But in Antwerp, they are faced with a long wait, just like him, who has not been able to play.

When he got back to the office last night, he had already packed his bags and was able to fly back to China as soon as he settled the rent with his landlord.

But before leaving, he wanted to interview Yu Liang and King Dong.

After the two-hour training session, Lu Bing walked to the edge of the training ground and found Yu Liang and King Dong.

"Yu Liang, King Dong!"

"Brother Lu!"

Yu Liang, who was chatting with King Dong, wiped the rain from his face and turned to see Lu Bing.

After staying in Antwerp for more than a month, Yu Liang and Lu Bing were already very familiar with each other, and called Brother Lu directly.

"The training is over, can we talk together?"

Lu Bing smiled at Yu Liang, and then made an invitation.

"Yes! But you'll have to wait a minute, I'll take a shower! ”

"No problem, I'll wait for you at Johnny D'Hooge!"

When he came to Antwerp, he fell in love with Johnny D'Hooge, not only because of the delicious coffee, but also because of the good environment and the fact that he loved writing here.

"Okay, no problem!"

After speaking, Yu Liang and King Dong left the training ground.

Back in the locker room and taking a shower, Yu Liang and King Dong went directly to JohnnyD'Hooge Cafe.

"Brother Lu, your face is not very good?"

Listening to King Dong's question, Yu Liang realized that Lu Bing's face was indeed not very good.

"Hehe, I didn't have a good rest last night to catch up with the manuscript! How's it going, it's been three rounds of the new season, how does it feel? ”

Taking a sip of coffee, Lu Bing asked Yu Liang and King Dong.

"It's good."

Although he only played once in three rounds, King Dong scored a goal to help the team equalize, which is still quite good.

Seeing that Yu Liang didn't speak, Lu Bing asked again, "Yu Liang, what about you?" I haven't played a game for Antwerp yet, so what are your thoughts now? ”

"I don't have any ideas, just train hard and wait for the opportunity to play!"

Seeing that Yu Liang was still so confident, Lu Bing smiled. Although it has only been a month, every time he thinks of Yu Liang today, he thinks of what he said at the press conference when he joined Antwerp on loan.

"And what do you think is the reason for the delay in playing?"

Lu Bing was very curious about where Yu Liang's confidence came from.

When it comes to foot skills, Yu Liang is inferior to many domestic players. When it comes to physical fitness, it is not first-class in China.

But whether on or off the court, Yu Liang maintains his confidence.

Is it possible to maintain self-confidence simply by the pursuit of victory and perseverance?

Lu Bing didn't believe it.

He wanted to know what kind of answer Yu Liang, who had not been given a chance to play in Antwerp, would give.

He doesn't trust a player and remains optimistic and confident when a team doesn't get a chance to play.

Through Yu Liang's hesitation just now, he knew that Yu Liang had been shaken.

"I don't know!"

Listening to the lander's question, Yu Liang smiled, and then immediately returned to normal.

"As far as I know, you're the hardest working player in the team, but you still haven't been able to make your debut in Antwerp in a situation like this, have you ever had any other ideas?"

"Nope! As a player, training hard is a must! I have a lot of shortcomings, and in order to make up for my shortcomings, I can only train hard! As for the appearance, I think when my level is up to the needs of a manager, my debut will come naturally. ”

In fact, after three rounds of league games and a cup match in late August, Yu Liang no longer believes Van Ack's words of an indefinite ban from the team.

In these four games, Mihem, Holfast and Dong King have all played, and he is the only one who has not been given the opportunity to play, so there is only one problem, his technical level has not yet met Van Ake's needs.

"And when do you think you'll be able to meet Van Ack's requirements?"

In Lu Bing's opinion, Yu Liang has every chance to play.

Among Antwerp's current midfielders, Solexemani and Angelo Di Gregorio have not fully recovered from injuries and will have to wait at least early next month to play. The team's organizational attack can only rely on Welbyst, but Welbyster is relatively balanced in all aspects, and the overall situation is limited, and Yu Liang can make up for this.

"Maybe the next game, maybe the next game!"

"Well, what is your goal in Antwerp?"

Seeing that Yu Liang was old enough to avoid the truth there, Lu Bing could only change the topic.

"Advance! It's a goal that the big guys have in common, and I think we can do it! ”

"Xiao Dong, what about you? As a centre-forward, do you have any other goals besides helping the team qualify, such as the league golden boot? ”

King Dong looked at Lu Bing and smiled a little shyly.

"The league golden boot? I didn't think about it, just try to play every game! It would be better if we could get this. ”

Glancing at King Dong and Yu Liang, Lu Bing found that there was a big difference between the two.

Both have the fine Chinese tradition of modesty, but Yu Liang always shows strong self-confidence, while King Dong shows humility more often than not.

Humility, in a certain case, is a virtue. But in another case, it shows a lack of self-confidence.

Football is a game of the jungle.

Eleven positions on the field, capable people occupy it.

But if you only have the ability and no self-confidence, you will not be able to occupy this position for a long time, and vice versa.

Only with both ability and self-confidence can you become an indispensable member of a team.

If Yu Liang's self-confidence and tenacity can be placed on King Dong, perhaps King Dong at this time has already become a member of Manchester United, side by side with Rooney and Ronaldo.

"I may be going back home!"

After taking a sip of coffee, Lu Bing looked at the street outside the window with some reluctance.

"Visiting family?"

"It's not!"

"Why?"

Except for Zhang Wenxin, Yu Liang really didn't get along so well with a reporter. Yu Liang was a little puzzled about Lu Bing's return to China, and at the same time he was a little reluctant!

"There was no valuable news, and the editor-in-chief told me to go back to China."

Yu Liang shook his head with a smile, then looked at Lu Bing and asked, "Are you really willing to go back like this?" ”

"I don't know!"

From a personal point of view, of course, Lu Bing was not willing to go back like this. From Yu Liang's loan to the present, he has been tracking and reporting, and now he is going back a bit of a wasted effort.

But from the newspaper's point of view, Lu Bing understands the editor-in-chief's approach.

"You can tell your editor-in-chief directly that if you give up now, the loss may be even greater in the future! If you lose a little now and stick to it, the future gains will be incomparable! ”

Yu Liang knew that Lu Bing Newspaper made such a decision, which had a lot to do with the performance of the two of them.

However, Yu Liang firmly believes that he and King Dong will create a miracle in Antwerp!

Looking at the confident Yu Liang, Lu Bing's frowning brows gradually relaxed, and he sighed in his heart: "Yes, you Yu Liang can be so confident, why should I hesitate!" ”

At this moment, he Lu Bing made the most correct choice in his life!
