In fact, the whole book is a story about dreams. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first volume is the story of the teenagers about their respective dreams after they met, and the second volume is still this theme, but Zhou Yi met a new teenager.

It's the same story about dreams, but Mark is a little more cowardly and timid than Zhou Yi's previous teammates, and I know that this kind of character is not likable in today's online articles.

But I still wrote about this person, because I think it's real and representative -- the word dream, it's actually very simple to say, it can be said in less than a second, but how many seconds does it take to really realize a dream?

We are accustomed to talking about our dreams, and we just talk about them as if we are people with dreams.

Mark was also such a person before he met Zhou Yi, saying that his dream was to play for Dortmund and lift the Bundesliga championship salad plate in a Dortmund jersey. But in reality, he never worked hard for this dream for even a day.

For him, having a dream is like being fashionable, and the dream is just a dress to wear on his body, a scarf around his neck. Wear it on your body when you need it, show it to others, and tell them, "I have dreams, I really have dreams! I'm not a salted fish without dreams!"

After receiving praise from everyone, when I returned home and was alone, I put away my dreams, hung them in my closet, and waited for the next time I showed them off in front of everyone.

In real life, too many people also claim that they have dreams, their dreams are this and that, but if you ask them, "Have you achieved your dreams?", most of them will tell you that it is not that they don't work hard, but that the reality is too cruel. There are countless reasons not to achieve your dreams.

But to put it bluntly, they were not knocked down by the cruel reality, but by their own dreams. Just like Zhou Yi said to Mark.

Dreams can bring some vanity and accolades, but they can also bring a lot of stress.

But isn't that normal, and if dreams are always easy to achieve, then why do we celebrate dreams and the people who pursue them?

If a flower does not bloom on a cliff, but in a roadside flower bed, which can be picked at will, then what is there to be proud of to get this flower?

So I wrote about Mark, who used to think of dreams as a fad and who used to be afraid of dreams, but in the end he decided to face his dreams bravely, without complaining or grieving about the outcome of staying in the youth team, no longer as fragile and vulnerable as when he was just promoted to the U19s, he was growing and becoming mature.

Having said so much, will there still be people who think that no matter how meaningful I say this character, it still has nothing to do with the protagonist Zhou Yi? So I wrote this character, and spent so much pen and ink, and he was the second character in the whole volume, which is meaningless irrigation?

I wouldn't say that Mark's growth has a lot to do with Zhou Yi's growth.

Because to tell the truth, Mark's growth and changes really have nothing to do with Zhou Yi's personal growth. There is no need to have Mark, Zhou Yi will also experience his years in the youth team, and there will be his growth, his goals are clear and firm, his dreams are consistent, and nothing will change because of Mark.

Is it not necessary to write about characters that have little or nothing to do with the protagonist, or not to spend too much time writing about them?

If it were me in the past, I would agree with the idea that everything that has nothing to do with the protagonist should be discarded.

But now, in this book, I don't think so, I want to write something different, and Zhou Yi alone can't support the things I want to express in the book.

Zhou Yi's position on the field is a midfielder, an organizer, an assister, not a scorer who dominates the limelight.

Such a position and role setting is destined to have a lot of all kinds of people around him, and he will have all kinds of connections with these people, or fetters. There are good and bad, sad and joyful, these people and Zhou Yi together form Zhou Yi's colorful life and career, and also form the story in this novel.

Every human being is an inseparable part of this story since ancient times.

So I wrote a mark in a volume of 240,000 words, and I hope I will write more about such people and things in the future.

I've been writing football novels for thirteen years, and I've been writing them all over the years, and they've all been the results. If it had been just to write these things, I probably wouldn't have written them five years ago.

But if it's a different person, writing about their different lives, it's simply infinite to be written. Football novels, a small genre of off-the-beaten-path themes, have become popular that I can also write.

The above is a little understanding of me as an author and a creator, saying that listening to everyone, taking up a little time and word count for everyone to read the book, not to explain anything, just a simple sharing and confiding.

Any author has a desire to talk.

Finally, a little tidbit.

About dreams, about the last part of this chapter.

When I was in college, my dormitory classmates discussed my dream life after graduation, and I said that I wanted to use computers every day, whether it was surfing the Internet or playing games, and I could earn 3,000 yuan a month.

My roommate teased me for being a daydreamer.

At the time, I was in a state of nonsense and imagination, and I didn't quite believe that what I was saying could be done.

And now, I sit in front of the computer every month, play the computer, write novels, scroll through Weibo, play games, and watch movies...... The monthly income has long exceeded 3,000.

So you see, dreams always have to be there, right? What if they come true?

Thank you for seeing me nag so much, and I hope you can continue to support Volume 3, thank you!
