Chapter 5: A Call from the First Team
"Hi ~ George, the head coach called you to his office and has something to talk to you about.!" George, who was in front of goal in a shooting practice, heard the words of a youth teammate.
George stopped training and thought about it suspiciously, what was the matter with the head coach Houllier calling himself his office at this time, was it because the club also wanted to loan him, as if he had given Wales too many assists during this time, shot less and scored fewer goals, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Could it be that it is for this reason that the club believes that it has lost the value of cultivation and can't wait to sell itself?
George thought YY as he walked towards Hollier's office.
"Hello coach, do you have anything to do with me?"
When George walked to Hollier's office, he found Hollier sitting on the table, writing something in his hand, as if it was a training session for the youth team players and something that had already been played, and he didn't notice his arrival, so he could only ask out loud.
"Hehe, George, you're here, come and sit." Hearing George's words, Holier woke up from his work, and when he saw that George had come, he immediately said with a smile.
"Coach, I heard that you are looking for me, I don't know what is the matter?" Sitting on the sofa next to him, George asked curiously.
"Hehe, don't be nervous, I just want to talk to you if I have nothing to do, how about it, can't you?" Houllier looked at George with a smile on his face, as if he was very amused by George's expression now.
It's okay, damn, what are you looking for me for, why don't you find someone else. Just now, I saw you so busy at the table that I didn't even know I walked in, and said that I had nothing to talk to.
George thought to himself, of course, he would say these words too.
"Hehe, since the head coach wants to talk to me, that's fine, I've just trained and it's almost over, I just want to take a break, I don't know what you want to talk about when you look for me, coach?"
"George, do you like Liverpool and do you want to play for the team at Anfield?" Suddenly, Hollier, who was still smiling, asked very seriously.
Hearing Houllier's words, George's expression couldn't help but change, and he took a deep breath and said:
"Yes, why not, my whole family (Ham) is a Liverpool fan, I am also a Liverpool fan, as a Liverpool fan, and I am also a professional footballer, who doesn't want to go to Anfield, the holy land of Liverpool, to fight for the team and win all the accolades that the team deserves."
George said solemnly, in fact, in the final analysis, George didn't like to drink and love Liverpool very much at the beginning, and his understanding of Liverpool was more forcibly cultivated by his grandfather Ham, but for the whole English football, George is the most familiar with Liverpool, and at the same time, these have George's good friends, which makes George gradually like Liverpool.
For the current George, every time he sees the mistakes of the first-team players, especially the good opportunity for the striker to waste a goal, George can't help but scold, it can be said that George has become a typical fan psychology.
Let's ask such George, why don't you want to go to Anfield Stadium and go to the first team to play with the team, otherwise, George will not train hard.
"Hehe, well, what would you think if I gave you a chance." Hearing George's affirmative answer, Hollier continued to ask with a smile, and at the same time gestured with both hands, telling George that this was just a simple and ordinary chat, don't be too nervous.
To be honest, from the very beginning of walking into Hollier's office, coupled with the strange questions asked by Hollier, there seems to be something hidden behind it, George's heart has always been relatively nervous.
"Me? I'd be happy if I had the chance, praise God, I want that to happen all the time, but I'm only 16 years old and I can't go to Anfield. ”
However, after seeing Houllier's gesture, the nervousness suddenly disappeared, and he just disturbed his head very casually, and replied embarrassedly, saying that he was unable to go to the Anfield game because he was too young to play in the end, and the frustration on his face was clearly expressed.
"O~ No, my dear George, listen to me, although you are only 16 years old now, but your skills, physical speed, and other conditions, can completely allow you to play in Anfield, you can officially participate in the professional league, you are my player, I know better than anyone how you are, I have confidence in you, and you have to have confidence in yourself."
Hollier said with a smile when he heard George's words.
"Hehe, yes, Mr. coach, in fact, I also think that my current strength is already very strong, and it seems that there is nothing too big to do to continue to stay in the youth team, because the competition between the youth teams can no longer allow me to continue to grow, I am very eager to join the first team and play in the top league in England, but I don't have that opportunity."
Listening to the coach's words, George thought about it or said what he wanted to say in his heart, it is true that there is really no one in the entire England youth team who is George's opponent, and it is a pure waste of time for George to stay in the youth team at present, and it is impossible to further enhance George's strength at all.
In fact, from a very early age, George knew that he had continued to stay in the youth team, and that he had any effect on his own strength, and since then, George has been eager to play in the first team and play in the top league in England.
But considering that he is only 16 years old, and there are many big names in the first team, and he doesn't want to be considered arrogant by the club because he has such a request, so he has endured it.
Now, with Houllier's question, George unconsciously spoke his mind.
"Oh my God, George, I really don't know what you think, you're shy like a little girl. If you had told me that, I would have passed your word on to the Frenchman [first-team manager Houllier] and I believe you would have been able to play in the top leagues in England sooner. ”
Listening to Houllier's words, George bothered his head, smiled embarrassedly, and didn't say anything.
In fact, in the end, George's thinking is still a Chinese, not an authentic Englishman at all, and the modesty in his head makes George even if he wants to participate in the Premier League, and he still has that strength, but he is afraid of leaving an arrogant impression on others, so he has been holding back.
In the final analysis, it is still the difference between Chinese and Western cultures, if George is an authentic Englishman, I am afraid that he would have spoken directly to Houllier and asked the club to allow him to join the first team and participate in the Premier League, instead of waiting silently for the club's call as George currently does.
You must know that whether it is Fowler or Owen, they both entered the first team directly at the age of 18 and participated in the Premier League, all of which was won by the two of them in the final analysis.
However, George did not know all this, otherwise, George would have asked the club to transfer him to the first team to participate in the Premier League.
"Well, I don't want to tell you more, I still have a lot of work to do, and I'm calling you here because I've just received a call-up from that damn Frenchman in the first team asking you to report to the first team tomorrow for the game against Arsenal in three days' time. Okay, that's it, you don't have to train today, go back and prepare. ”
With that, Houllier ignored George and just buried his head and went on with his work.
But Hollier didn't notice that when George heard the news, the expression on his face had frozen, and even when he walked out of the office, his whole body was stiff and walked out.
