Chapter 30: Stand Firm
The day after the end of the game, the hero at this time had already finished his morning exercise and returned home in the company of a cool breeze.
Although the joy of the virgin ball made him fall asleep very late last night. But this spirit seemed to have continued until this morning, and instead of getting up early in the morning as usual, he was more energetic.
Even today's morning exercise, he deliberately practiced for an extra half an hour, and his energy seemed to be exhausted.
As soon as you open the door, the first thing that comes to your nose is the fragrance of breakfast, which is not as thick and mellow as big fish and meat, but it is fresh and pleasant, which makes people feel good when they smell it, and the gluttonous worms in the stomach are also hooked.
"Ahh After taking a deep breath, the hero unconsciously sighed, and a faint smile no longer knew when it climbed up the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Hero is back! Hurry up and take a shower, you can eat in no time. Seeing the hero come home, Lili said with a sweet smile.
At this time, the girl was wearing a pale apron, and her long hair was also coiled up to the top of her head, looking virtuous and gentle. After the soft sunlight shone obliquely through the window, the hero's heart was also attracted by this beautiful scenery, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
I don't know who has such good luck in the future to be Lili's boyfriend, looking at this scene, the idea unconsciously popped out of the hero's head, and then scared himself.
This slightly sour thought made the hero, who had not yet been in love, panicked, and hurriedly shook his head and threw it to the back of his head, and he was shy in his head.
"What's wrong with you?" Looking at the strange appearance of the hero shaking his head, the girl couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll go take a shower right away."
As if afraid that the girl would notice his embarrassment, the hero staggered up to the second floor in a few big strides, like a cheetah, which was his fastest sprint.
Then, the girl was left alone to look at his panicked figure, confused.
"Huh!"
After grooming and serving the table, the hero's eyes were immediately attracted by the newspapers neatly placed in front of him.
It's not a big newspaper, it's just some local newspapers in Valencia. However, the hero didn't care about that, he cared about the big picture on the front page, the photo of him celebrating the goal.
I'm in the newspaper?! The hero of the eldest girl's first time on the sedan chair couldn't bear her curiosity and excitement, and she picked up the newspaper and read it, and even the fragrant breakfast couldn't be taken care of for the time being.
"The fastest counterattack in history, the young player is the revenge of the trial!" 》
"18-year-old player, his debut is his debut, and another new star is born?! 》
"The first Chinese player in history to score in La Liga, a Chinese teenager set a record"
One by one, although it is not an authoritative newspaper, the hero also reads it with relish, and a sense of pride in his heart is like a wild horse, wantonly sprinkling joy.
Seeing the hero's joy, Lili on the side couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth, smiled, and pointed at the newspaper report.
The places she was referring to were the places where the hero was heavily praised in the report, and it was clear that the girl had read it carefully before.
As she spoke, she raised her delicate little chin slightly, looking like a cute little one that I was proud of and honored. When talking about the story between the hero and Inácio, she also wafts her little fist excitedly to express her small indignation.
In this kind of back-and-forth conversation, breakfast time has been delayed quite a bit.
However, this joy did not last long in the hearts of the heroes, and even if there were, it became a lot lighter.
Not to mention that when he disbanded yesterday, he received a warning from Benitez not to be too proud, and even the hero himself knew that this was just a small fight, and it was still too far from his goal.
It's okay to be happy and excited for a while, but it's never too much. It is necessary to calm down immediately and move on, inheriting the lofty goal of Hua Ming, so that he has enough concentration and calm enough at all times.
Although it was a day off today, after eating breakfast, the hero said goodbye to Lili and prepared to go to the training base in Valencia for another day of necessary training.
The hero is famous, that's for sure.
But the fame is only limited to the Valencia region, and the match between Valladolid and the feud between him and Inácio are all hot news spots that do not attract much attention in Spain.
At most, people in other regions have a vague impression of him because of his Chinese identity.
But for Valencia fans, that's not the case.
Not to mention that they immediately became their new favorites, but at least the hero has also become a focus of conversation among Valencia fans. They are very curious and interested in this Chinese kid who didn't pay attention to it, but suddenly came out of nowhere in yesterday's game and scored a killer goal.
Although the hero didn't get their liking right away, at least he became familiar with them and became the object of attention. This point, as long as you look at him on the bus, he will be pointed at from time to time.
For heroes, it is still a very novel thing to be recognized in public. For a moment, he felt as if he had broken into another world, and his mood was inexplicably excited.
"Good boy! You were our hero yesterday, it's amazing. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Smollen."
After thanking him, the hero walked into Valencia's training base and headed for the locker room.
Looking at his back, the slightly gray-haired Smollen smiled appreciatively. He has been exposed to the Valencia training base for more than 10 years, and during this time, he has seen many young people who have become famous overnight, but it is the first time that he has seen a hero who still come to train early the next day after becoming so famous.
If this little guy doesn't succeed, then who will succeed, he couldn't help but think in his heart.
"Whoop, whoop"
After completing the entire training process as usual, the hero, although not yet tired, was already sweating profusely, and began to gasp for air in his mouth.
The footwork and ball sense of shooting, these are all things that go against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. So, although the training is boring, the hero will complete it 100% every time. After all, this thing is his most advantageous weapon at the moment, and there will be no reason to relax.
However, these trainings are just a matter of sticking to the basics. The hero then began to make up for his own training non-stop, not for anything else, but for long-range shooting.
This is the hero's most diligent training and most content in recent times. He knows very well that compared to strengthening the ability to dribble and break through, and increasing the ability to attack from a distance, it should be the most important thing for him as a striker in the near future.
However, the results achieved are not very good, and the progress is really slow.
However, the hero is not discouraged, compared to the progress of the child's skill, the current unfortunate speed of long-range shooting, he is still acceptable.
After tying the iron sandbag, the hero exits the penalty area and begins to practice long-range shooting.
Due to the distance, during the long-range shooting training, the hero did not take the goal to divide the goal during the shooting training, but directly used the four corners of the goal as the aiming target for training.
In the face of long-range shots, the goalkeeper will have more reaction and time to save. This requires that under normal circumstances, the angle of the long-range shot must be tricky, otherwise even if it sends out a lot of power, it is just a problem that the goalkeeper can solve with both fists.
"Bang, bang, bang"
As soon as he started training, a dull and heavy sound immediately sounded over the training ground, and it gave people the feeling of being vigorous and full of strength.
In long-range training, the hero will train a group of 20 balls. So after a clear 20 dull sounds, he stopped and began to think about the training results of the group just now, the advantages and disadvantages of his own expression, and so on.
Work hard without brains, that will only do half the work, the hero is not a person who will only bury his head in hard work, proper reflection and thinking is the best mode of progress.
In the training session just now, 4 of the 20 goals barely reached the hero's goal. This made him very unhappy, as evidenced by the way he shook his head from time to time and the frowning brow.
"Hey, Hero! Come here. Just as the hero was immersed in thought, a voice of greeting suddenly came from the side of the training ground.
He hated being disturbed during training the most, so he instinctively frowned, revealing a little dislike. However, as soon as he turned his head to see who it was, his brow immediately widened and turned into a little joyful. The changes are so great that it is like a flower that has been crumpled suddenly becomes fresh again.
"Sir."
Before he could take off the iron sand bag on his calf, he rushed to Benitez, who was waving to him on the sidelines. It's not flattery or sycophancy, it's sincere gratitude.
In addition to those previous favors, the hero needs to take good care of Benitez. Because, in front of the media, he defended the hero well.
In yesterday's post-match press conference, Benitez did not take him with him because of his desire to protect the hero, but brought Mista. But even this did not diminish the media's curiosity about the hero, a Chinese American.
They have never seen a Chinese figure in La Liga, and they are full of curiosity and novelty about this Chinese teenager who made his debut and looked very individual. It's not because of the hero's goals or skills, but because of the color of his skin, the hero has become the one who "stands out from the crowd" in their eyes.
At the beginning of the press conference, the hero undoubtedly became the protagonist of the reporter's questions, from the origin to the celebration with him, everything was asked. Some even asked for an interview on the spot, but Benitez was rejected on the spot on the grounds of protecting young players.
In the end, the reporters didn't get any other information about the hero from Benitez. However, the uncrowned kings did not stop there.
Afterwards, they focused their fire on the hero's celebratory moves. As long as you are not blind, you can see that he and Inácio definitely have a story.
And, even if Benitez didn't speak, didn't he see that there was an Inacio next to him who couldn't sit still for a long time.
Sure enough, after getting the reporter's question, Inácio immediately began to complain with tears in his eyes, describing the hero as an arrogant and impolite wild boy.
However, this was soon met with a stern reprimand from Benitez as a calf-guard. The story of the conflict between the hero and Inácio was revealed to the reporters through the mouth of Guò Benítez.
In order to maintain the image of the hero, he can be said to have had a good war of words with Inacio. Those who are interested can also see Benitez's love for heroes, because the Valencia coach has not been a big talker in their minds in the past.
And that's why the hero is grateful to Benitez again, and at the same time, he is more and more convinced that he made the right decision to stay at Valencia, and that a good manager is sometimes scarcer than a good player.
"Pay attention to the amount of training, don't hurt your body." Benitez said with concern.
"Got it, sir."
"Well, you can get on with training."
After the hero started training again, Benitez watched for about 10 minutes before walking away. The hero's training attitude made him more and more cute to the hero in his heart.
"In that case, let's put him in the squad for the next league game. Maybe this little guy is still my lucky charm. ”
Before you know it, the hero's heels in Valencia have begun to stand still.
