Ruud, 26, is an intern reporter for Valencia's local sports newspaper, Super Sport, and has only been working for two months at the newspaper.

The family belongs to the middle class in Spain, and belongs to the class that is not rich, but also eats and drinks without worry, and lives a comfortable and lazy life every day.

Under the influence of such a living environment since he was a child, Rude himself used to live a life of hanging children and idleness every day, clubbing and women, which was almost all the fun of his life.

It wasn't until this year that his father suddenly died of a heart attack, and such days came to an end.

The economic base determines the superstructure, and his father, as the main source of income for Rude's family, died suddenly, and even the living standard of Rude's family began to decline sharply.

Under such circumstances, Ruud also had to start to give up his leisurely life and start running away from home to earn a living. But the previous 20 years of sloth life made him almost unable to do any regular occupation. Sales, waiter, etc., he gave up in the early stage because he couldn't endure hardship.

It wasn't until May of this year that he got in touch with his mother and joined the newspaper Supersport as an intern journalist.

But the job of a journalist is not easy to do, although it does not require a lot of physical work, but it requires a high level of professionalism and interpersonal relationships, which the young Ruud did not have.

After the first two months of inactivity, after suffering from being isolated and despised by his colleagues because of the back door, he finally began to take the initiative in August to run around, hoping to get good news, news that his colleagues had not discovered.

First of all, if you want to discover the most attractive news that can be published in Super Sport, it is the news about the local team Valencia.

Due to the success of recent years, the influence of the Valencia football team in Valencia can be said to be unique, far exceeding that of ordinary politicians and celebrities.

The slogan "We can fight Madrid and Catalonia" has become a source of pride for Valencians and fans. Cheering on Valencia at the Mestalla Stadium on every home match day has even become a fashion event for Valencia.

So, in this city, there is a market for any news about the Valencia team.

Ruud's idea is good, but the truth is not so easy.

In a modern society where relationships and unspoken rules are ubiquitous, Ruud, who has no roots, is not taken seriously by the press officers of Valencia FC. Every time he visited, they just looked at the face of Super Sports and dealt with him casually.

After all, it is the mouthpiece newspaper of Valencia, and if you don't look at the monk's face, you have to look at the Buddha's face.

Faced with this treatment, Rude could only swallow it in his stomach. Because he knew that if it weren't for the "Super Sports" reporter's brand, he wouldn't even be able to enter Valencia's training base.

As the new season approaches, Valencia fans' expectations for the team's news are at a high peak, so Ruud came to Valencia's training base again today.

His hard work would have been an incredible thing one year ago, but by this time, he had already tasted the reality and cruelty of society. In order to succeed, he is already a little perverted in his urgency.

It's just that although he himself is very serious, the press officer in Valencia still ignores him and treats him coldly. But after an afternoon of idle talk with him, he was sent out of his office.

Just as he left disappointed, passing by the first-team training ground, a dull thud caught his eye. With an inexplicable expectation, he walked into the training ground.

Then, I saw the heroes who were sweating profusely.

Who's this? When he first saw the hero, a young Chinese man, he couldn't remember who it was for a while. As an intern journalist who aspires to success, he has memorized the entire Valencia squad in his heart, but there is no such yellow figure as a hero.

For this, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, even if it is a Valencia player, there is a difference between the top and the bottom. However, he did not leave there, because for him now, no matter how small a fly is, it is precious meat.

He pondered for a while before he remembered the hero's name, and in a small corner of Valencia's official website, he had browsed through the hero's photo and name.

It's just that out of discrimination against yellow people in the football circle, he didn't take the hero to heart at that time, just as another recruitment by Valencia Club for commercial development.

But after watching the hero's training for a while, he immediately overturned his first impression of the hero.

Hard work is not the first element of success, but it is an indispensable part. Judging by the sweat on the hero and his serious attitude, Ruud knew that this was an ambitious player.

Although he still doesn't think that the hero will succeed at this moment, it doesn't prevent him from becoming interested in the hero and wanting to talk to the hero for no reason.

So, there is the scene just now.

Reporter? Looking at Rudd's professional smirk, the hero did not doubt his identity, but wondered why he had found him.

In addition to giving him football skills and literacy, his football years in La Masia also allowed him to see a lot of what professional football really looks like.

In today's increasingly commercial football, in order to increase and develop the commercial value of football, the relationship between football and the media has become as inseparable as that between stars and media. For example, in the transfer period, whether it is the renewal and transfer of players, or the resignation and rotation of the team president, the power of the media has become an important and indispensable part of it.

However, as far as the hero is concerned, he does not like the media and journalists.

Malicious attacks, telling right and wrong, and promoting false news, the actions of these uncrowned kings make the heroes quite ashamed. Money supremacism, what he says about them.

Although he knew that he would deal with the media one day, he never imagined that it would be today, when he hadn't played a single official match and hadn't scored a single goal.

It's not that I'm presumptuous, but I know that I don't seem to have any commercial value at this time.

"I'm sorry, I don't give interviews without the manager's permission." Without knowing where the other party came from, the hero chose to refuse.

"Well, no, I've got Mr. Benitez's permission. The team needs to introduce you to the fans, so let me interview you. ”

It seems that he did not expect that such a young player as a hero would so decisively refuse an interview with reporters, Ruud was stunned when he heard it. However, he soon reacted and lied without blushing and heartbeat.

This was the first professional skill he learned after becoming a journalist. As a trainee journalist, he has not yet reached the level where he can engage with Benitez.

After saying that, he pretended to look at the hero calmly, praying that the hero would not check with Benitez.

As a result, the hero was deceived. Maybe he is psychologically mature enough, but after all, he is only 18 years old, and he still lacks a lot of life experience.

Although he will not be deceived in the general direction of his life, in such small aspects and small details, he is still easily deceived by a superficially decent person like Ruud.

"Oh, got it. So let's get started. After exhaling slightly dissatisfied, the hero said.

Having training interrupted was one of his least favorite things, but since it was Benitez's decision, he couldn't and had no reason to resist.

Not long after the two sat down to talk, some sketchy content about the hero immediately caught Ruud's attention.

La Masia was born, was brought in after a successful trial, scored two goals in the trial match, and Ruud smelled the euro from the hero just from these three points of news.

With just a brief analysis, he realized that the hero was not the inconsequential character of the new season that he had imagined. From the hero's narration, he could feel the importance that Benitez valued him.

At the age of 18, he was expected to stay in the first team by the first team manager, you must know that this is the first team of La Liga powerhouse Valencia. Looking at the hero in front of him, who was still immature, Ruud's eyes were filled with deep meaning.

At this time, the sweat stains on the hero's face have not yet dried, his cheeks still have a thick flush left over from the strenuous exercise, and his black hair that has not been repaired for a while is even more disheveled, which is a standard, ordinary, and somewhat sloppy image of a sports boy.

But Ruud noticed something different from it, and the vigorous vitality and self-confidence in the hero made him jealous.

As the conversation deepened, the hero's trial experience and so on were also guided by Ruud. Such an inspirational experience almost made Ruud think that he was reading the script of a youth inspirational movie.

"What do you think of La Masia, who swept you away?"

"I don't hate them, but if I have the opportunity in the future, I want to prove to them that I am better than they think, and I want them to regret and regret it."

For this slightly sensitive question, although the hero has tried his best to make the answer calm, his last sentence still shows the rebellion and edge of the young man. Rude, who made La Masia regret and sensitively grasped these words, lit up.

In addition to this question, the most sensitive question is Ruud's question about Oliveira and Mista.

After Carew left Serie A Roma on loan, Oliveira, one of the Santos tridents brought in by Valencia for $12 million from eight Santos clubs, and Mista, the team's meritorious veteran, are currently recognized as Valencia's main strikers in the new season.

That said, these two should occupy the vast majority of appearances in the new season.

Therefore, Ruud put such a question on a rookie striker like a hero, and his intentions were really sinister.

In fact, even the hero sensed that something was wrong with this question, and looking at Rude, who was still serious, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "The reporter really doesn't have a good thing." ”

After thinking about it for a while, he replied as quietly as possible without looking unconfident: "They are all very good strikers, and I am just a newcomer, and I still have a lot to do and learn from them." I hope the process won't be too long, though.

As for playing time, that's what the manager has to think about, all I have to do is make myself good enough. I'm not afraid of this kind of healthy competition within the team. I'm looking forward to doing my best to finish my career and make my debut in Valencia. ”

This answer is the answer given by the hero after careful consideration.

In his opinion, such an answer should be very safe.

But after all, he still underestimated the shame of the lack of discipline in the profession of journalist, and at this time he did not know what kind of trouble this decent young man in front of him and his interview today would bring him later.

This will be the first lesson that a hero learns in professional football.
