It was a university stadium, with a lot of people sitting in the low stands, and on the football field surrounded by the stands, twenty-three teenagers stood in a line, and in front of them, several middle-aged people stood.

One of them stood out, and all eyes were on him.

He is the former main striker of the Chinese national team and the first striker in Asia, Hao Dong. He has retired from the army, and today he appeared in front of everyone in casual clothes.

Not only the twenty-three teenagers present were watching him, but the people in the stands were also watching him, and some people took out their cameras to take pictures.

Zhou Jianliang was also in the group, he was taking pictures with his camera, but his lens was not a legend of Chinese football, but his son Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi was among the twenty-three teenagers.

When he first persuaded his wife to let his son participate in this draft, I am afraid that even Zhou Jianliang did not expect that his son would be able to pass all the way, stand out from the audition, and reach the final national finals. Although his results are the last among the 23 people, he can be regarded as one of the 23 best football teenagers in China.

He wants to take more photos of his son as a memento of this unforgettable summer vacation.

In his lens, Zhou Yizheng is looking at Hao Dong intently, just like the children around him.

For a teenager who loves football, Hao Dong, a former international player, is a big name and an idol for all of them.

Being able to get in touch with this idol so closely, Zhou Yi's face was filled with excitement. The nervousness of going to the finals was not visible on his face at all......

Hao Dong stood in front of the twenty-three teenagers and was speaking.

“...... First of all, congratulations to the children for making it to the finals, you are already the best 23 people in this age group in China. In the next finals, I hope you can play at your normal level, play well, strive to become the winner, and qualify to represent China to challenge the European giants in the youth team. ”

His words made the children excited.

Going to Europe and competing against the youth teams of the big clubs is exactly what these people have worked so hard to get to this finals.

Now, they are just one step away from that goal - if they can perform well in this finals and win the hearts of the national football legend in front of them, they can make it a reality!

It's just that the elimination rate is somewhat high...... Of the twenty-three people, only one person came out on top.

Of course, every teenager is very confident in their hearts and believes that they can be the best.

Hao Dong continued: "Before the finals begin, I would like to say one more thing: Remember, children, football is a team sport. ”

After speaking, he scanned the audience and saw the expressions on the faces of each of the twenty-three teenagers.

The children did not seem to have recovered from the beautiful vision of the outside, and after hearing his words, there was no change in expression on their faces.

He knew that the teenagers, who were both excited and nervous, had not listened to his last words.

So he waved his hand: "Okay, let Team Leader Wu take you into groups." ”

After speaking, a slightly chubby middle-aged man next to him stood up. This is Team Leader Wang.

Hao Dong turned around and walked with the others to the rostrum on the sidelines.

"It's different from all over the country. I think most of them are quite emotional, and they don't have much stage fright......," said a man who was traveling with him, looking slightly younger than Hao Dong. "Maybe you can really find good seedlings!"

Hao Dong said noncommittally: "Let's take a look first, Xiao Wang." ”

He took off his sunglasses clipped to his neckline, put them on his face, and glanced up at the sky. The scorching sun at four o'clock in the afternoon took on a blue-green color in the sunglasses, the light was less dazzling, slightly softer, but the temperature did not decrease, and the sun burned on the top of everyone's head, making people feel like they were in the oven.

Hao Dong left, and Team Leader Wu slapped beside him: "Okay, let's divide a team." ”

Only then did the teenagers' eyes reluctantly move away from Hao Dong's back and cast on Team Leader Wu.

"Whoever I called by name, come out and get this. Team Leader Wu raised his hand, and he grabbed this red training vest with a white number on the back.

"Huang Zhihua, Zhang Yihao, Liu Yiwei, Li Haoran ......"

Every teenager whose name was called would run out of the line with a happy face to get his own vest, while those who were not called looked at the lucky ones with envy and longing, hoping that their names would be called.

Unlike the various selection models in the audition, the rules of the finals are simple - 23 people are divided into two teams, play a game, and the player with the best performance can get a place in the reality show.

Eleven people were quickly chosen.

Next, Team Leader Wu picked up a blue training vest and said, "I called the person whose name came to receive this." ”

This is the blue team.

"Liu Yadong, Yang Fei, Li Xiang, Liu Haowei......"

Another individual stepped out of the crowd and took their waistcoat.

Twenty-three people are divided into two teams, one team of eleven people, and two teams are twenty-two people, so in the end there will be one unlucky person who can't get the chance to start.

When the team leader finished reading the last name, Zhou Yi was still standing in place.

He was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and asked, "Team leader, what about me?"

"You are a substitute. Team Leader Wu glanced at Zhou Yi and said.

There was a burst of laughter in the crowd opposite-twenty-two of the twenty-three people had the opportunity to play, and the remaining one must be a substitute, and they laughed at Zhou Yi for taking the initiative to ask, isn't this self-inflicted?

None of them were surprised that Zhou Yi was a substitute. Among the twenty-three people, he is the person with the worst results in the national audition, who will be the substitute if he is not a substitute?

Zhou Yi seemed to understand this, so after the team leader said this, he just sighed and didn't say anything else.

※※※

Zhou Jianliang, who has been observing his son, also found that his son has become the only substitute.

When the players of both teams ran onto the court and prepared for the game, only his son Zhou Yi turned around, walked to the bench on the sidelines, and sat down.

Zhou Jianliang remembered a conversation between their father and son after their son successfully broke into the finals.

At that time, he had successfully entered the national finals, this result had exceeded Zhou Jianliang's expectations, he didn't want to put too much pressure on his son, so on the way to Beijing, he talked to Zhou Yi about his expectations for the finals, and he told his son that he was very proud and satisfied to be able to reach the finals.

It means don't put too much pressure on your son.

But his son's answer was unexpected.

"I want to go to Europe, Dad. ”

Sitting on the train to Beijing, Zhou Yi said to his father with a smile.

Zhou Jianliang still remembers his son's expression, it was not a hippie smile, but a yearning smile.

As a father, Zhou Jianliang can see that his son really wants to go to Europe, and he really wants to join that team to challenge the youth team of the big clubs that he can only see on TV.

Before that, my thoughts were just to leave a good memory for my son in the last relaxing summer vacation before the crucial college entrance examination. And his wife, the mother of her son, must only think of using this defeat to dispel her son's "unrealistic" illusions in football.

What they didn't expect was that their son had a clear goal from the beginning, he was not here to travel.

Seeing his son sitting alone on the iron bench, Zhou Jianliang, as a father, felt a trace of unwillingness in his heart.

As the head coach of the team in this reality show and the final judge of the draft, Hao Dong is sitting on the rostrum, with his hands on the table and his chin propped up.

Staring at him on the court, he frowned slightly.

He didn't mean to imitate Commander Ikari in eVa, but the current situation did give him some headaches.

The national audition for the reality show "Superstar Heirs" has been going on for a month, and now it is finally coming to an end, which should have been a happy thing.

But Hao Dong couldn't be happy now, because he didn't see a candidate from the twenty-two teenagers on the court who was qualified to join his team.

Although the producer told him that this audition is a gimmick, the main purpose is to attract widespread attention from public opinion and arouse the interest of more fans, so in the end, as long as a symbolic selection of a person is selected, no one expects that person to be talented, is it really possible to gain a firm foothold in the team that will compete in Europe and make contributions......

But as a successful former professional player, Hao Dong has his own pursuits and principles for football itself.

He still hopes to try to dig up some good seedlings in this way. That's why he's turning a blind eye to the fact that people who have been trained in the echelons of professional football clubs are also coming to sign up - you must know that the registration rules say that no teenager who has received professional or professional football training is allowed to sign up.

The reason why Hao Dong did this is because he thinks that only people who have been trained by professional football clubs have that ability, football is a very professional thing, and it is difficult for a person who has not received professional football training to compete with foreign talents who have been immersed in the highest level of training since childhood. In addition, as a person who has come over, he also knows the dirty things in Chinese football, and there will be some very talented seedlings who will be expelled from the team because they offended the coach and leader?

This audition is actually to give them a chance.

But it's a pity that the nationwide audition came to the end, and finally selected twenty-three people to come to Beijing for the finals...... So far, he hasn't seen one.

Am I really asking too much?

Hao Dong asked himself inwardly.
