Yan Min sat in the large and bright office, the leather sofa was very soft underneath, and his whole body was almost sunk in, this posture made him a little uncomfortable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He tried to sit up straight on the couch so that he would look more upright, but it turned out to make him more uncomfortable, because his back was helpless and his ass was as unstable as quicksand......

His muscles were tense, and he felt that it was more exhausting than an afternoon of mechanical training.

At the same time, it was not only the difficult sitting posture that made him so nervous, but also the person in front of him.

Across from him sat an elderly man, wearing a pair of wide metal-rimmed glasses, drinking tea with his head bowed. His hair, which was supposed to be gray, was dyed black and meticulously attached to his scalp, and the color of his hair alone probably didn't tell his actual age, and only the criss-crossing furrows on his face could make people realize that he was already an old man.

This elder is the chairman of Shanghai Chongming Club, a well-known legend in Chinese football - Xu Genbao, and he is also the mentor who unearthed Yan Min from the second-tier cities in the southwest, brought him to Chongming Island in Shanghai, cultivated him, sent him to participate in reality shows, and promoted him to the first team.

Yan Min, who is in the second year of secondary school, is not convinced by many people, and still wants to defeat Zhou Yi. But in front of his teacher, he is well-behaved like a good student in elementary school, serving "Xu Zhi" inside and out.

Xu Genbao, who put down the teacup, looked at Yan Min's hard work to maintain his upright sitting, smiled and waved his hand: "Relax and relax, I didn't call you here to train you." A Mandarin with a Shanghai accent, he also used Mandarin with such an accent to ask the young Yan Min: "Little friend, would you like to follow me to Shanghai to learn football?"

Yan Min didn't listen to the teacher's words and still sat up straight.

Xu Genbao saw that he was stubborn, so he didn't insist, he was very familiar with his student's stubbornness.

"You know about Dortmund, right?" he asked.

Yan Min nodded: "Got it, Xu Zhi." ”

At first, he listened to what his teammates said, and then he went to check the authenticity on the Internet, and found that it had been discussed on the Internet.

"Well, what do you think?" asked Xu Genbao quietly.

"I listen to the club's arrangement. Yan Min replied very formally.

Xu Genbao frowned: "There are no outsiders here, you don't come with me like this." Tell me what is in your heart, whether you want to go or don't want to go. ”

Yan Min was taught a small lesson by the teacher, and scratched his head with a smile, but he did not immediately answer Xu Genbao's question.

Do you want to go to Europe?

It's hardly a matter of hesitation.

Of course he wanted to go, and when he went to participate in a reality show, he soon had a thought of "maybe he would be favored by European teams"?

As a result, the reality was cruel, he went to Europe and saw the high-level football in Europe, only to realize how whimsical his original idea was, and there was still a big gap between himself and his European peers. As it turned out, he was not contacted by a single European team.

After the reality show shooting, he returned to Chongming Island in Shanghai and continued to train in Xu Genbao's football training base and play in the youth team in Chongming, Shanghai.

But this does not mean that he has lost the idea of continuing to study abroad.

However, in the commercial match against Dortmund, he really tried to show for the attention of Dortmund......

I didn't expect it to be so unintentional.

To go or not to go?

Of course he wanted to go, but he had just played the main force in Chongming, Shanghai. When he first went to Europe to participate in the reality show shooting, he has not yet entered the ranks of first-class players in China, and when he goes to Europe, he is in a giant team like Dortmund that has just won the Champions League, what opportunities can he get?

Originally, his plan for going abroad was to join a midstream team in Europe's top five leagues and have more opportunities to play. Only when you can play the game can you train and improve yourself. What's the point of going to a big club, the name sounds beautiful, but you can't even get into the squad? Such examples once abound among the predecessors of China's overseas players, wasn't Hao Junmin also very beautiful when he went to Schalke 04, and what happened in the end?

Although Yan Min is in the second middle school, he is not stupid, starting from the junior team, he has been able to go all the way to this point, but not only relying on the second middle school and momentum, he still has a very clear plan for his future.

As a result, Dortmund's interest in him suddenly disrupted the plan.

This made him hesitate.

If he goes to Dortmund, is it a good choice? Will he spend a few years in Dortmund without achieving anything, and finally have to return to China in disgrace?

......

Seeing that Yan Min suddenly stopped talking, how could Xu Genbao, as the teacher who brought him from childhood to adulthood, not see what he was thinking?

So he said, "Min Min, ......."

Yan Min raised his head, this title was used when he was very young, it was the nickname that his parents gave him. Later, as he got older and better in the team, Xu Zhi rarely called himself that, especially when he had to maintain his majesty as head coach and club president in front of the whole team......

"Do you remember when I asked you if you wanted to come to Chongming to learn to play football, how did you answer me?"

Yan Min looked at Xu Genbao in a daze.

"You weren't alone, you had two children, if I remember correctly...... Both of them said yes to me without hesitation, just you, you raise an eyebrow and ask me, 'Can I do it?' Hahaha!"

Yan Min was a little embarrassed, but he also remembered that his performance at that time was inferior, and later he was laughed at for a long time by two small fellow villagers in the same company. But where did those two little fellow villagers go later? I can't remember, anyway, I wasn't in Chongming, and I haven't been in touch for a long time......

"Those two children also came to Chongming for training, but they are no longer with me. It's just you. Xu Genbao continued, "Do you know why you can stay until the end?"

Yan Min shook his head, in fact, he wanted to say: I have good talent?

Of course, he can say this kind of thing to others, but only to the teacher in front of him, he can't say this, and in that case, he will definitely be punished by Xu Zhi and violently......

"Your talent isn't particularly good, but you have a trait that I like very much. When the three children in your city were selected by me, your performance was the worst, and you had no confidence at all. I know what your current teammates say about you, that you're arrogant. You know that yourself, don't you?"

Yan Min scratched his head again, indeed. He knows that his character is sometimes unlikable, but he doesn't plan to change it, he lives his own life, it doesn't matter if others like it or not, who he loves.

"But it seems to me that you are not arrogant at all in your bones, even a little ...... Inferiority. ”

Xu Genbao's words made Yan Min a little surprised, and the reasons for this surprise were very complicated, on the one hand, Xu Zhi's conclusion was different from Yan Min's own feelings, and on the other hand, Yan Min wanted to agree with Xu Zhi's conclusion a little bit in his heart......

"At that time you weren't very physical, you were pretty much good for nothing but fast running, very thin and not tall. The first time I saw you, I even thought you had been malnourished, and of course the conditions in your family were not very good at that time......"

Yan Min nodded in his heart, if Xu Zhi hadn't promised to pay him tuition, his parents would not have agreed to go to Shanghai, which is thousands of miles away from his hometown, to learn football.

"As a result, after you came to Chongming Island, you were the hardest training and the craziest of those children, and from then on, your teammates said that you were arrogant and annoying. Am I right?" Xu Genbao said as he looked at Yan Min.

Of course, Xu Zhi is right, since he entered Chongming Island, Yan Min's friends have been very, very rare, and there were two fellow villagers at the beginning, and later after the fellow villagers got acquainted with other children, their relationship with Yan Min was weak, and they only had the friendship of fellow villagers. Yan Min also knew that he was not likable, but at that time he didn't care about pleasing others, he was bent on working hard to improve himself, so that he could learn and succeed here, and not waste his parents working several jobs every month and then remitting the living expenses for himself, on the one hand, naturally in order to be able to get ahead in football, he likes football, and he also hopes to be able to make it a career. For this reason, he thinks that his congenital conditions are not good enough, of course, he has to work harder and be more crazy than more people.

What Yan Min didn't know very well was that his momentum was like a raging flame, pushing him to run forward, but at the same time, it also turned himself into a hot and dazzling fireball, making it difficult for ordinary people to approach.

"At that time, I thought about paying attention to those children whose families were not very good, and solving the problem of their living expenses to learn to play football in Shanghai was to recognize their relatives. I asked Wu Lei to recognize Cheng Dafa as his godfather and solved his living expenses. But I didn't find you a godfather, I can only ask your parents to support your living expenses for playing football here, do you know why?" This time, Xu Genbao didn't let Yan Min think or say it himself, but immediately answered, "Because you have a stinky temper, it's too easy to offend people." When the time comes, you admit your godfather and offend someone, and you want me to wipe your ass? I don't do it! I just thought, how did you come to be this character, but later I figured it out because of your lack of self-confidence. ”

Yan Min is very strange, how did this involve his lack of self-confidence? He is not highly educated, and he does not read much, but he also knows that arrogance and lack of self-confidence are completely antonyms, right?

"Some people are not confident, and they will break the jar. Some people are not confident and feel that others are targeting them. But your lack of self-confidence makes you work harder, and at the same time, it also makes you try to be very confident, but if you accidentally use too much force, it becomes arrogant. But no matter how you disguise it, deep down, you are still an unconfident little kid in your bones. So when I asked you if you would like to go to Dortmund, you must have thought to yourself whether you would be able to adapt to Dortmund and whether you would be able to do it...... It's like when I asked you if you wanted to come to Chongming to play football, right?"

As soon as Xu Genbao asked this, Yan Min sat on the sofa as if he had been struck by lightning, opened his mouth wide, and looked at the teacher in front of him in a daze, as if he was looking at a monk who had attained the Tao.

"One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father" and "knowing a son is not as good as a father" turned out to be this meaning!
