Chapter 12: The First Friend
Black, long and curly, brown skin, bright eyes.
It looks like it gives people a sense of elegance and agility, which may be the natural charm of samba football.
Park Shichang suddenly sighed, "To be exact, it's not a threat to the two of us." β
Yes.
I'm afraid he is a crushing existence.
For this point, Lei Ou agrees that South America produces geniuses, which is the consensus of the whole world.
The bus drove back to La Masia, and the first day ended with just a show to all the trial players about BarΓ§a's heritage, splendor and culture.
It's not just a club!
After dinner, the two returned to the dormitory, and Park Shichang took out a bowl of noodles and a box of kimchi from his bag, and ate happily.
"I didn't expect the food in La Masia to be so bad."
Seeing that Lei Ou didn't respond, he raised the volume: "Did you say?" β
"I think it's very good!"
The sight of the thunder gull fell outside the window, on the grass outside, the sun was setting, and life was beautiful.
He's not lying, for him, steak seafood is definitely a good dinner.
Lei Ou turned his head and saw the box of kimchi, and was suddenly stunned.
Anyway, it's better than your kimchi, right?
"You taste it, it's delicious." Park Se-chang was very welcoming.
Lei Ou shook his head and said seriously: "Pickled radish is not so delicious. β
Park Shichang's mouth twitched for a while, and then an expression came that you don't understand.
After resting for a while, when the lights were on, Lei Ou changed into sportswear and went out for a run.
Running on the course feels very different from running on the beach, and you can smell some faint grass at ease.
Lei Ou suddenly thought of the black companion, and he not only smelled it, but actually chewed it.
I don't know what it tastes like!
There is an old saying in Huaxia that Cao Cao arrived.
There was a sudden movement behind Lei Ou, and then the black companion ran over, and the two walked side by side.
Approaching him, Lei Ou had a deeper experience, as if there was a sense of oppression.
He should be about 1.85 meters tall, strong enough to be like a cow.
The black partner smiled, and then spoke in English, fortunately, Lei Ou had learned some English vocabulary from his aunt and could barely talk.
The black man, named Mira, is from Cameroon and previously played in the Netherlands as a center forward.
These are not strange, Lei Ou is puzzled, he is only eighteen years old this year.
Can an eighteen-year-old mature to this extent?
"Bibi?" Mira said with a smile, he smiled and showed a pair of small white teeth, a silly feeling.
"Yes."
Lei Ou accepted the challenge, but soon regretted it, the guy was unimaginably fast, and the game seemed to be over at the beginning.
After the sprint, Lei Ou was a little unconvinced, and even said with a gesture, asking for a long-distance run.
Mira readily agreed, but Thundergull lost again.
He has not only speed, but also stamina.
It's really different for those who have played professionally.
Having won the game, Mira did not show off or appear happy, but gently rubbed the head of the thunder gull, and then raised his thumb.
Lei Ou smiled and gave the same thumbs up.
It was getting darker, the moon was creeping up the branches, and the two men were sitting on the grass in La Masia.
Mira looked up at the moon and smiled innocently, "It's so nice here!" β
Lei Ou nodded seriously.
"Can I be your friend?" Mira asked, looking a little shy.
How can such a strong man be shy?
Thunder Gull smiled, then nodded vigorously.
And just like that, on his first day in La Masia, Thundergull made his first friend.
The next morning, the thunder gull was still running.
Without any agreement, the two of them came to the lawn again.
Fate?
No.
Two people who work hard will always have an intersection.
The trial started today, and all the young players were grouped according to the echelon, and Eleven people including Lei Ou Park Shichang came to a lawn alone.
U16 head coach Reus introduced the trial content of the past few days, which is simply to test the players' various abilities, such as dribbling, passing, shooting, defending, speed, etc.
On the last day, there is a competition to test the overall ability and quality, and then it is announced who will go and who will stay.
Today's tryout was all about dribbling, one of the most important fundamentals of a player, and can even determine a player's ceiling.
Some rely on talent and some are trained by hard work in the later stage.
Royce, with a big belly, sat on the grass with a pen and notebook in his hand, recording the performance of the players.
The first was dribbling the ball over obstacles, and the Brazilian Rudi volunteered to be the first, only to see him wading through the obstacles as if they didn't exist, and his speed did not drop.
With his performance, exclamations rang out at the right time.
"Holy! How can it be? Park Shichang said incredulously.
He thought he was good at dribbling, but he couldn't compare to him.
He was mentally ready, the Brazilian must have been particularly talented, but he didn't expect it to be so good.
Shame on oneself, dwarfed by it.
Lei Ou frowned, staring at Rudy without blinking, and he was shocked to pay attention to the dribbling skills.
I've seen a lot of dribbling masters on TV, but it's never as real as this.
"Don't look at it, we can't learn it, it's called goddamn talent." Park Shichang said angrily.
Rudy quickly put on a show and finally picked up the ball and kicked it straight to the feet of the second trial player.
"What are you selling? It is not a test pass. Park Shichang said angrily, but he was convinced in his eyes.
"There's nothing you can't learn. As long as you put your heart and mind to work, even if you can't learn everything, you can learn some of it. It's enough. β
Lei Ou said lightly, while recalling the scene of Rudy taking the ball in his mind.
Royce's gaze retracted and landed on Ben, who scored on Rudy's dribbling ability, though only one of them.
86 points!
"It's not a good score!" Puyol suddenly sat down next to Royce and quipped as he glanced at the score.
"Not high? Mr. Puyol, he was only sixteen years old. Royce argued.
Puyol laughed: "When Messi was 13 years old, his dribbling ability was better than him. β
"Messi ......"
Royce smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Can there be a Messi in fifty years?" β
There have been many talented players in La Masia before, known as Spain's Messi, England's Messi, Japan's Messi and so on.
But in the end, they all fell.
Puyol put away his smile and said, "The only good thing Fidel did was probably to bring Rudy to La Masia. β
Rudy was exactly what Fidel dug up.
Royce nodded: "I hope Rudy lives up to expectations." β
After watching the Brazilian's performance, Puyol stood up and said, "How about I go to the U18 to see that demon?" Is it unworthy of the name or worthy of the name! β
