Chapter 69: The Golden Generation 1
As soon as it was dawn, old Colin, who was still asleep, heard a familiar sound, and he just rolled over and continued to close his eyes.
For old Colin, that's his alarm clock.
This is the sound of Colin getting up early and exercising in the morning, in the past few years, such things have been thunderous almost every day, and for a while, as Colin's father, the old Colin who thought Colin should give up his football dream and return to reality tried to dissuade him, but after all, he still couldn't resist his son.
That's not a bad thing after all. This was the reason that the elder Colin persuaded himself at that time. It's just that at that time, he definitely didn't expect that his son would have the opportunity to receive an invitation from Manchester City.
&n《zhuzhudao.combsp; You know, it's Manchester City. He thinks England is the strongest team.
Colin Sr. felt that his son had no reason to turn down the offer, so although he did not immediately reply to Mr. Harrison, he had no doubt that his son was about to leave for Manchester City, and as for Cambridge United, Colin Sr. would thank them for discovering and nurturing his son.
As for his father's thoughts, Colin knows very well that although the reason why he likes football is not because of his father, he will like Manchester United instead of Manchester City, but it is completely the opposite effect of his father's "forcible influence".
Closing the door, Colin began to go for a morning jog along the route he was used to.
As early as when Colin was in the amateur league, he had a nickname, which was given to him by his teammates, called pocket watches, which has two meanings, one is because Colin is very punctual, even in the amateur league with a loose sense of time, he is never late, and the other is to describe his training attitude.
The word amateur league and amateur means that many people don't actually see playing football as a real profession. The main force here is football fans from all walks of life, of course, there are also those who aspire to become official professional players one day, but more often than not, they just regard football as a side hustle or even a hobby.
For Colin at that time, his goal was of course to be a professional player, so even if there was little hope, even if he had been judged by many professionals in the training camp to be impossible to play professional football, he still demanded himself by the standards of a professional football. Obviously, this is a bit out of place in the amateur league, but Colin, who has always been persistent, is still like the hands in a pocket watch, never stopping unless something goes wrong.
Training is always boring, especially after a few years of training day out, but Colin has long been used to it.
Just as Colin had just run through a three-way intersection along the familiar road, he was in front of him on his left. A figure he was familiar with unexpectedly entered his field of vision.
Colin immediately frowned.
This is really a narrow road.
"What a coincidence." Without waiting for Colin to speak, George, who had converged on the same route, apparently spotted Colin as well, and he immediately said with a strange smile.
"yes, that's a coincidence." Colin replied lukewarmly.
If Colin is a pocket watch that is always punctual and never stops. Well, the George in front of him at this time is a runaway alarm clock, and you never know when it will go off. Colin and George, who have been teammates for a season, are already old acquaintances. Although the process of getting to know is not pleasant at all. A few years ago, in an amateur match, the two met for the first time in the ring as rivals. In that game, a goal from George almost caused a group fight on both sides, when George passed all the defenders on Colin's side, including the goalkeeper, in an attack, to say that this is not a bone of bones, there is never a shortage of skilled players on the football field, but the problem is that George, who passed everyone, did not score the ball with the trend, but stopped the ball on the goal line, and then deliberately used his head to the penalty area.
There is no doubt that this is a naked humiliation on the other side, although this game Colin finally won the game, but George's goal made everyone remember him, including Colin. Since then, the two have met on the pitch from time to time, and although most of the victories have been on Colin's side, George has continued to go his own way.
The two have gradually developed from a bad impression to a disagreeable look at each other today. But in response to what I just said, the road is narrow, and the two were favored by Tang Hua at the same time, and finally the ghost sent God to serve Cambridge United at the same time. is also in response to that sentence, the person who knows himself best will always be his enemy.
Even if Colin is looking at George unpleasantly, he has to admit that this annoying, self-righteous guy has something called talent, and Colin has no doubt that the reason why George "fell" to the amateur league is not because his talent is not valued by others, but because of his character. And this made Colin feel even more bad about George.
Talent is such a thing, God gives it, because Colin, whose talent is blocked from professional football, has no right to blame people who waste their talent. But that doesn't stop him from feeling bad for such people.
"I didn't expect you to be so early and couldn't sleep?" Colin originally had no intention of running with George, but George had no choice but to come to his side, and he was not so arrogant as to ask the other party to stay away from him, so he still mocked lukewarmly.
"yes, I can't sleep. Something happened. Not like George was not annoyed, but said with a smile.
"There's something you can't sleep about? It's new. ”
"Fresh, of course." George glanced at Colin and smiled, "You know, that's Manchester United." ”
Manchester United?
As soon as he heard the name, Colin's pace slowed down, and George, who had been walking with him, suddenly overtook him, but immediately after, Colin quickly followed.
"What do you mean?"
Colin had vaguely guessed something, but he couldn't help but ask.
"Literally, do you need me to be more straightforward? You don't look like such a stupid person, even though you play football and you're just a little bit worse than me. George said.
This is George.
Colin finally understood why George, who usually keeps up with the-for-tat, why he was so calm just now, and what he really wanted to say was this, he was a Manchester United fan, which everyone in Cambridge United now knew, just as everyone knew that George's favorite team was Manchester City, so George thought that his words were completely enough to stimulate Colin.
Thinking of this, Colin couldn't help but laugh.
"Sick?" Looking at Colin who was laughing inexplicably, George was stunned at first, then looked at Colin with a puzzled gaze, and said seriously.
"You're sick." Colin finally stopped laughing, and replied angrily, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth couldn't be concealed, "Actually, I have a similar message to tell you, do you seem to know?" ”
"Message?" George was stunned again, and then a bad premonition floated in his heart.
"God is really unfair sometimes, and He doesn't give me what I want." Colin glanced at George and asked, "God is fair sometimes, and He doesn't give you what you want." ”
"Hell philosopher." The corners of George's mouth twitched, and then he seemed to think of something, "Is it ...... You also received an invitation? Which club? ”
"What do you think?" Colin smiled wryly.
"Manchester City?!" George's eyes widened, and when he saw that Colin didn't deny it, he immediately yelled, "What a fuck." ”
Looking at George's appearance, Colin suddenly felt refreshed, and his steps felt a lot lighter, but George seemed to be deeply affected and slowed down.
The two of them ran like this for about ten minutes, and soon, Colin noticed that George was following again.
"What? Figured it out? Colin deliberately teased the other party, but he didn't think that George, who was eager to put on his wings and fight with God just now, seemed to be really calm down at this time.
"It's okay, that's it anyway. It doesn't matter anymore. George said in a relaxed tone.
"Yes. It's just Manchester City. ”
"Cut." George sneered, "Is Manchester United amazing?" But that's it. ”
"But so?" Colin exploded, "you?" ”
"Hey, hey." George smiled, "Don't say it, I've really been there, but I didn't hold back at the time and fought with someone, otherwise, now you can only watch my back on the TV screen." ”
Colin was speechless, but he felt almost out of breath.
Of course, he can suspect that George is just bragging about not playing drafts, if ordinary people had such an experience, they would have blown it up in the amateur league a long time ago, but Colin knew very well that if it was George, he wouldn't, because the person in front of him never cared about what other people thought, and for him, the only pleasure seemed to be to live on the court with a person he didn't like even knowing his mother.
So, since George said so, then he really went, and if it was someone else, Colin might still doubt whether he had this ability, but George was definitely possible, and he had been fighting him for several years, and Colin was very aware of his ability a few years ago.
"Who?" Colin asked suddenly.
"What who?"
"The one who fought with you."
“…… It's your business. George pouted, but in Colin's opinion, it was clear that it wasn't that George didn't like to bring it up, but because he didn't want to mention the man.
"This man ......," Colin's heart moved. Now in the Manchester United first team? ”
“…… It's about your. George was a little angry, and then began to change the subject, "I said, since we've been invited, then it's time for us to say goodbye, no, it's better to never see each other again, right?" ”
"What, you decided to go?" Although Colin was interested in the man who was fighting George, at this point, he obviously wanted to know more about the answer to this question related to himself. (To be continued......)
