Chapter 7: The Last Stand

"Brother Hero, come on! You'll make it, but be sure to call me every day if you have time. Otherwise, hmph, see if I'll forgive you so lightly this time! ”

"Male baby, when you go out, be careful! If you have something to do, you can make two more phone calls home, so that grandma and I don't have to worry, do you hear me? ! ”

"Son, come on! Daddy has your back. Since this is the path you have chosen, then stick to it, this is what only the men of our Ying family should be! Okay, kid, stop crying! Why are you crying? Really, the child is going to fly alone, which is a good thing! Come and say a few words to your child. Ouch! You twist me to do it..."

"Humph! Xiaoxiong, you want to go out and do a career, mom has no opinion. However, you must take care of your body and eat well at every meal. Things can't be done for a while, don't worry, don't be angry, how can this world be done once. Also, if it's difficult, go home, and ...... at home."

In the concern and sincere wishes of his family and friends, the hero, who had been home for a few days, took his luggage and Jorge and set out on the road away from home again.

For Hua Ming's dream, he made up his mind to continue to struggle.

However, the cruelty of professional football is still beyond the expectations of this confident teenager. It slammed his head so hard that it almost knocked him unconscious.

"Damn! Damn it!! ”

In a single room in an ordinary hotel in Seville, the hero is losing his temper unwillingly. As he cursed, he clenched his fists and pounded the wall with a "thump".

In the room, pillows, quilts and other items have been scattered all over the place, and they are messy. Apparently his love affair is very bad and has been venting for a while.

Now, his whole body is like a wounded beast, and his whole body is full of unwillingness, anger and loneliness.

The reason why the hero is like this is that not long ago Mendes brought him bad news, after the trial, Sevilla turned down the hero and did not show any intention to sign him.

Since Mendes officially became his agent, Mendes has taken the hero with him and began to look around for a family willing to accept the hero. And as the heroes demanded, they first focused on 20 La Liga teams.

But in fact, Mendes is not optimistic about the hero's decision in his heart. Because even if the hero has talent and the possibility of success, he is only 18 years old, and he is still a rookie who has not played a professional game. Although he comes from La Masia, it is still difficult to get him straight into the first team of any La Liga team.

In other words, even if the hero is signed, the fate that awaits him is more likely to be a second-tier team or a loanee. If you want to play directly in La Liga, it's hard to get to the top.

Unless the hero is the kind of young player who hasn't played a professional game, but has long been famous, then maybe it's still possible. But unfortunately, the hero is not, and now he can only be regarded as a young player with characteristics.

However, at the insistence of the hero, Mendes agreed to his request and now try it on the La Liga team.

But the confident and spirited hero didn't know that Mendes had secretly begun to look for a new home for him in the Portuguese Super League. In other words, he is still very pessimistic about the fact that the hero is going to play in La Liga, at least for the time being.

And the actual situation seems to be very much in line with Mendes's expectations.

Including Sevilla, this is the 10th consecutive rejection he has received in almost a month. In other words, half of the La Liga teams have rejected his signing, or they all believe that the hero has no value worthy of a contract.

One can imagine what a blow and setback such a continuous blow is for a young man who is only 18 years old. In particular, this is a young man with extremely high self-esteem.

Compared with the ambition of "fighting back La Masia", the current situation of embarrassment like a stray dog has given the hero, an ambitious football boy, a hard blow to the head, almost knocking him out.

However, the hero's bad love is not just because of this.

The reason why his trial results were so miserable was not just because of his strength, but also because of some humiliating factors that were unbearable.

Even if the hero's individual ability is still slightly lacking, it is still to the point that the relegation favorites in La Liga are not looked down upon. For the sole reason that La Masia is producing, he can get a minimum short-term contract with these teams, and he will never be reduced to the point of being completely ignored.

But football is like that, it is only a part of the real world, in addition to the glittering side, there are also some dark, dirty corners and dark areas.

During the hero's tryouts on various teams, his skin color brought him a lot of humiliation and trouble.

Even if he had La Masia's experience, it was clear that the negative effects of yellow skin were far greater than that. The hero can feel that whenever the trial directors of each team see his yellow skin, their expressions are always difficult to hide the light or deep contempt, even contempt.

On top of that, the same was true during the tryouts, where his temporary teammates always seemed to forget about his savings for granted, and the number of passes he gave to the hero in a game didn't add up to a slap in total.

As a striker, what else can you expect your hero to do without the support of your teammates. After all, he's not an all-powerful alien, he's not the ice prince Bergkamp, he's just a rookie in professional football.

In such a situation, the failure of the trial may have been a foregone conclusion.

However, in addition to the failure of the tryout, the actions of the hero's temporary teammates also brought a heavy sense of frustration to the hero.

Some of them may be subjective, they do not have racist views, and they do not ignore heroes.

But that didn't stop the hero from taking a hit, for him, a striker who couldn't catch a pass was a complete waste.

Because a striker who can't receive a pass is a striker who is not valued, or even trusted, such a striker often means that he can't score goals and is incompetent.

Although such a situation is not the strength of the hero itself, this feeling of not being trusted is real.

Among these 10 trials, the one who brought the most humiliation to the hero should be the promotion horse of La Liga in the new season, and Valladolid, who is also the relegation favorite.

Because, after the hero got there, he didn't get the scheduled trial opportunity at all, but just got a burst of spicy face-to-face sarcasm and contempt.

He will never forget how Valladolid coach Inácio, who was at the trial site at the time, sarcastically mocked him and directly and contemptuously canceled his trial opportunity.

"Why is there a yellow man here?! Hell, get him out of here, the yellow race can play football, what are you kidding me. It seems that La Masia is also starting to be dazzled, and even admitted a yellow person, do they take money?! ”

At that time, after hearing these words, the hero's ears immediately surged with rage, and if it weren't for the constant reminder of a voice in his heart, his fist would have flown towards Inacio's ugly face.

"Want revenge?! Want revenge?!! If you want revenge, don't move! Don't move!! ”

Inacio may never know how much willpower it took the Asian teenager standing in front of him to resist the urge to beat him up and vent his anger.

When the hero forced his anger out of Valladolid, his nails had sunk into the palms of his clenched fists, and there was a slight smell of blood in his mouth.

And his eyes have long become like vicious beasts, shooting out a cold gaze that chooses people and loves them!

He knows that as long as he does it himself, at least he has no hope of playing in La Liga in the short term.

Because Spanish football says that it is not big or small, the news that he beat Inacio is not small, it is not big, but it is enough to attract the attention of the athletic department of all La Liga teams.

At that time, no matter how he justifies himself, no matter how he clarifies the reason, he who has become a "violent element" and a "bad boy" in the eyes of others will probably not get the opportunity to tryout.

Because no team would want such a "cancer", unless he is Maradona.

Maybe some people will choose to fight and then say, anyway, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

But the hero is not such a person, he belongs to the kind of person who "a hundred years is too long, and only seize the day". A violent revenge was not what he wanted.

What he wants is to give Inácio an indelible humiliation and revenge on the pitch, with football, under the gaze of everyone.

This is what he wants, to nail Inacio to the pillar of shame in the shortest possible time!

Therefore, at that time, he gritted his teeth and endured it desperately.

Before completing the "Return to La Masia" ambition, Inacio became the hero's most recent and most urgent goal.

And this has become another important reason why he insists on staying in La Liga to play in the new season, and another nourishment that spurs him to continue to move forward.

Let the people who have humiliated and despised him become his own nourishment, which has become the most important nourishment for the hero's future football career.

For this reason, after the hero's retirement, he also said when he publicly commented on his career, "If it weren't for those who hated me, hated me, humiliated me, and discriminated against me, my career might never be as great as it is now." ”

However, that's all for later, so let's not mention it for now.

After venting in the room, the hero finally calmed down, and his eyes became clear and firm again.

took out his mobile phone, and after hesitating for a long time, the hero finally dialed Hua Wanli's mobile phone number.

"Hey, Xiaoxiong, why haven't you called back for so long. How's it going to be outside? You have been weak since you were a child, and remember to eat enough at every meal. Don't just eat your favorite meat dishes, green vegetables, you don't like them, you have to eat them, otherwise how can your body be better. Also, when you go out at night, you should wear more clothes anyway, you have cold hands and feet, it is better to wear more. Before going to bed at night, soak your feet more often, so that you can sleep well. ……”

Before the hero could speak, Hua Wanli on the other end of the phone was already chattering, her tone full of caring complaints, love and concern.

Listening to his mother's nagging, the hero's nose suddenly became a little sour, and the grievances he received during this time seemed to have the momentum to explode again, but this time the outburst was gentle and beneficial.

The mother's temperature has become the best spiritual soothing agent for this big boy who has been frustrated for a while recently, but is strong.

With a sniff, the hero stubbornly didn't let a drop of tears fall in the end.

But the whole person's expression was no longer angular, hard and cold, and slowly softened and warmed.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and then he said in a slightly coquettish tone: "Mom, look at you, I nagged again, and I didn't give my son a chance to speak." It's okay, I'm fine here, and the team's affairs are already a bit eyebrow-raised......"

It wasn't until more than an hour and a half later that the hero hung up the phone with a smile, only to feel that his mood seemed to be lighter, like a cloud.

At this moment, his phone suddenly rang again, it was Mendes's.

"Hero, Valencia accepted our request for a tryout, and the time was scheduled for four days later. But are you sure, do you want to keep going? I don't think the chances are too big, and it's time to think about going to another league..."

"Jorge, I'll go!"

"Even if I'm going to leave Spain, it's going to be when I get my 20th decision!"

"In the meantime, please let me continue like this."

"Success!"

"Or let this cruel reality become the driving force that spurs me on!!"
