Zhejiang Province, Xihu City, as long as it doesn't rain in the Jiangnan water town in early November, it is still warm, but Lin Hong, who is wearing a short jersey, still tightens his long down jacket.

As a substitute, he can't let his body cool down, otherwise it would increase the risk of injury if he needs to play immediately.

Lin Hong is actually very familiar with the substitute seat, because many times not the best person can start, usually the starters in a slightly more formal game have a good relationship with the coach, or the family has long dredged the relationship.

Lin Hong has absolutely no one on his side who will help him dredge up the relationship, and even he doesn't even have a home because he is an orphan.

Lin Hong grew up in an orphanage, although he was quite handsome, but he was too naughty since he was a child, as if he could never stop, so no one adopted him.

Orphanage policies vary across the country, and the exact age to which these orphans are raised is not the same.

However, how many people are willing to stay in a place like an orphanage, most of them want to leave after receiving compulsory education, and as long as they can earn their own living expenses, the orphanage is also happy to let them go out and face the society on their own.

Lin Hong is different from other children, he has not had many friends since he was a child because he is too naughty.

When he was 11 years old, a teacher who graduated from physical education found Lin Hong when he was interning in an orphanage, and he thought that this little guy was very athletic, so he took him to the city track and field team.

Although Lin Hong's sports talent is amazing, he grew up in an orphanage and his body is obviously not as good as that of ordinary children of his age, so that not very formal trial ended hastily.

However, it was also the first time Lin Hong saw someone playing football in that stadium during that trial, and looking at the figure of the players chasing after him in the field, Lin Hong suddenly had a throbbing from his heart.

He will always remember the feeling of the first time the football touched the surface of his foot, it was so real and wonderful. The black and white jumping elf left a deep impression on his mind, as if a seed had taken root.

At the age of 14, he graduated from junior high school, and Lin Hong, who had average grades, did not choose to apply for various grants to continue his education, although he was still a child laborer at the legal age, but the orphanage's tight beds and quota indicators, his application to leave the orphanage was unsurprisingly approved.

Sounds incredible? But that's the reality!

The social security department won Lin Hong a job in sanitation, without five insurances and one housing fund, only a simple 6-person dormitory and a meal at noon, with a monthly salary of 1,500 yuan.

In addition to the money for two meals a day and essential daily necessities such as clothes, shoes, toothpaste, and toothbrushes, Lin Hong can save 1,000 yuan a month.

After working in sanitation for half a year, by chance, Lin Hong helped people sweep an area that he had not been to before, which was a sports school, and he saw a group of people playing football through the fence.

The players on the pitch are about the same size as Lin Hong, but instead of sweeping the streets with brooms, they can run wildly.

Lin Hong didn't know if he was envious of them running so freely, or if he was envious of anything else, but there was no doubt that playing football symbolized freedom, happiness, and happiness.

Lin Hong, who was sent by the ghost, was fascinated by it, and the seeds planted three years ago were growing wildly.

After getting off work, when he returned to the cramped dormitory, Lin Hong couldn't sleep for a long time, and all he thought about was the appearance of a football jump.

Because of the life background of the orphanage, Lin Hong has been very assertive since he was a child, and he knows how to plan his life, and he does not have the idea of following the crowd.

Originally, he thought that after working in sanitation for a year, he would be able to work in a regular factory after he was 16 years old, and his salary would rise sharply.

Then when he saved enough 100,000 yuan, he was ready to take over the fruit shop diagonally opposite the compound of the Education Bureau.

And Lin Hong did some things for Uncle Zhang under the guise of helping, and he got acquainted with Uncle Zhang, not only could he get some fruits sent by Uncle Zhang, but also figured out the purchase channels of fruits, and learned some ways to do business.

In short, if there are no accidents, Lin Hong will have his own fruit shop before the age of 20 and save enough for a down payment to buy a house by the age of 30.

Lin Hong is too eager to have a house of his own, in his concept, with a house, there is a home, and there is a nest of his own.

However, the black and white elf kept jumping in Lin Hong's mind, and Lin Hong lost sleep that night.

Lin Hong has never been a timid and cowardly person, let alone an indecisive person, but if he wants to change his plan to buy a house before the age of 30, he still has to be cautious.

Perhaps he longed too much for the feeling of running and chasing freely, and after three days of suffering, Lin Hong finally made a choice that changed the fate of his life.

He resigned!

After resigning, Lin Hong went straight to the sports school, and he decided to play football!

"I am responsible for the sanitation and cleaning of the school, as long as I have food and accommodation, and I only need a salary of 1,000 per month, but I have to play with the team after cleaning!"

This is the condition offered by Lin Hong, and the person in charge of logistics of the sports school learned that Lin Hong is a professional sanitation worker, and as long as the salary is 1000, this is much cheaper than the previous 3000.

The most important thing is that there are meals left over in the canteen every day, and there are empty rooms in the dormitory, which is almost not a cost, as for playing football together after work, hehe, multiple caddies who pick up balls and hand water are also a good thing.

So Lin Hong stayed in this sports school called Green Vine, and has stayed until now.

In fact, Lin Hong didn't really come to the sports school with a hot head, the biggest expense in his life is room and board, and the sports school can solve most of these two expenses, and the remaining 1000 can save at least 800 per month, which is not much less than when he was in sanitation.

And because Lin Hong gets up early and returns late, he can squeeze out at least four hours of time every day to play football, which is what Lin Hong is happiest and most eager for.

Maybe many things really pay attention to talent and chance, Lin Hong kept up with his diet and exercise after entering the sports school, so his body gradually kept up with and surpassed children of the same age.

Although he missed the golden period of the 8-10 years old enlightenment of the academy, his comprehension ability and acquired hard work helped him.

Rain or shine, at least four hours a day has also allowed him to grow rapidly, and at least three years have allowed him to play as a substitute in the 17-18 age group.

This is the youth training base of the Hulk Club in West Lake City, and the Green Vine Sports School, as a cooperative unit under the Hulk Club, sent a team to play a friendly match today, and what is going on on the field is it.

Yesterday was the final game of the Chinese Super League this season, and Lin Hong was lucky enough to appear as a sideline caddie for the first time in the closest place to the professional players, he thought he would be very excited, but to be honest, he didn't.

With only three or four percent of the home stands, a 1-1 final scoreline, and a season final point just two points above the relegation zone, the final league standings in 12th place are like "Boruto".

But even after last night's disappointment, Lin Hong is still full of expectations for today's game, after all, this is an opportunity to directly compete with the best players in the same age group in the entire Zhejiang Province.

Lin Hong plays a defensive back that does dirty work, and his running and fierce steals at all costs are the foundation of his ability to stay in the team, and it is also a magic weapon that can slightly cover up Lin Hong's rough skills.

Lin Hong was very eye-catching in the team training session in the morning, and the main player in the same position had not been clean with a back muscle strain last month, so maybe he could mix with the main force to play.

But reality slapped Lin Hong hard, and he had no chance to play at all.

3:0, the 3 on the scoreboard is naturally the home team's Xiaolu, but only 19 minutes have passed, which makes Lin Hong unconsciously tighten his down jacket, and his heart is a little cold.

What can better reflect the gap between the two sides than the score is the situation on the field, in the face of Xiao Lu's wave after wave of offensives, the green vine sports school can only be tired of defense, and the goal is even more dangerous.

As for the attack, hehe, with less than 20% possession and about 50% pass completion rate, Green Vine has many chances, and even the ball past the midfield is only three or two feet.

It's not a game, it's a one-sided grind!

The head coach of Green Vine has a very ugly face, he knows the meaning behind this game, and he understands his situation even more, although the team must not win, but it must not lose too ugly.

"Warm up, everybody go warm up!"

The assistant coach's words were like heaven, and everyone on the bench quickly got up and started to warm up, originally thinking that it would be at least half time before adjusting the plastic surgery on the field, and it seems that the head coach is not completely blind.

Stretching, jogging, leg pressing, Lin Hong is meticulous, although the warm-up seems boring, but Lin Hong will never be lazy.

Perhaps seeing the temporary teammates on the field warming up, the green vine players on the field have a sense of crisis, and they are more active and hardworking one by one.

In the 36th minute, Green Vine's backfield cleared the ball and kicked the ball to 30 meters in front of the goal, and even made Little Green's defense panic, and Green Vine's starting center used a long shot from 25 meters away to make the shooting data change from 0 to 1.

Fortunately, the Hulk's training ground is far from the airport, otherwise the shot is likely to affect aviation safety.

Lin Hong and his teammates who warmed up together sat back on the bench, and the head coach never looked back at them from beginning to end, and everything was directed by the assistant coach.

It's not uncommon to use a warm-up from the bench to motivate the players on the pitch, but the manager will explain it afterwards.

Not to mention the head coach, even the assistant coach who commanded the warm-up didn't say anything, which made Lin Hong frown a little, but that's all, this bastard coach is not the first time to do such a thing, in order to stay in the sports school and continue to play, Lin Hong endured.

"Damn, Wei Chusheng is playing Lao Tzu again!"

The one who spoke was another substitute Lu Ming next to Lin Hong, and he was also the only friend Lin Hong had in the team, and only he would not look down on Lin Hong's background.

Lu Ming came to the sports school to lose weight at first, and then he continued to stick to it after the results were good, but this level was rougher than Lin Hong.

Lu Ming usually studies in an ordinary high school, and only after school and on weekends will he come to the sports school to play football, and it just so happens that today is Sunday, and he can come here temporarily.

Lu Ming looked left and right and saw that no one was paying attention to him, he thought that Lin Hong didn't hear him talking, so he whispered in Lin Hong's ear and asked.

"Do you know how much money I gave?"

Well? Money? What money? Isn't this an invitational training tournament? Food, accommodation and travel expenses, why do you still have to give money?

I don't have any money!

If you have it, you won't give it!

Lin Hong blinked innocently blankly, "Why do you still have to give money, don't you just eat a few more chicken legs?" ”

As soon as Lu Ming heard Lin Hong's words, he knew that he must not know anything, "Brother, do you think you came here to generate electricity with love?" You don't really know the purpose of this training invitational? ”

Lin Hong felt that a big melon was about to burst, but it seemed to be related to him, so he looked like he was humbly asking for advice.

Lu Ming was very satisfied with Lin Hong's reaction, his hidden gossip attribute was activated, and he once again confirmed that no one was paying attention to the two of them.

"The head coach of the Hulk is resigning, you always know about it, right?"

Takeshi Okada's resignation has made a lot of noise, as long as anyone who pays a little attention to Chinese football knows, Lin Hong nodded and said he knew.

"Although the Hulk's record is not good, this is not Takeshi Okada's pot, but the Japanese seem to have made up their minds, and the club is useless after two months of retention, and the internal information says that it will be officially announced tomorrow."

The melon that the deer burst did not have any substantial meat, just a pile of skin that had been seen for a long time.

"Does that have anything to do with today's training match?" Takeshi Okada was too far away from Lin Hong to arouse his interest at all.

"There is no half-dime relationship, but there is a 5,000 yuan relationship!" Lu Ming's face was a little painful, but when he saw Lin Hong's blank face, he felt a little superior.

"Takeshi Okada used to be a Japanese international and served as the head coach of the Japanese national team, and has good relationships with many Japanese clubs.

So the Hulk wants to play a lotus. Takeshi Okada's coaching team didn't know how much benefit they had received, and they agreed to cooperate with the youth training. According to reliable sources, Takeshi Okada will take a few people to Japanese clubs for youth training this time.

Seeing these little greens on the field, where would the usual training matches be so desperate to show, one by one I can't wait to wear all the underwear outside, not to go to Japan to feel whether Tokyo is hot or not, livestock! ”

Lu Ming's last sentence was definitely not only envy, but also with deep jealousy and deep hatred. Because the quota for exchange training in Japan only belongs to Xiaolu, it is impossible for the young players of the Green Vine Sports School to follow to Japan.

Although Lin Hong didn't know where Lu Ming's gossip came from, he seemed to be very credible. "What does it matter to us whether Tokyo is hot or not, and why do we have to pay for it?"

"Hehe, I don't know! Isn't this a few people who are going to be selected by Xiao Lu, and their U18 will vacate a few pits! ”

Lin Hong suddenly understood that this is the elimination and supplement of the ecological chain. "In other words, the Japanese choose people in Xiaolu, and then Xiaolu may also choose people to supplement us!"

Lu Ming looked like a teachable gratifier, and he felt a great sense of accomplishment to let Lin Hong eat melons, so he subconsciously exploded a bigger melon.

"It's an opportunity for us to get closer to professional football, and it's an opportunity for Wei Chusheng to make money.

Whether it's me, a lot of people secretly stuff him with money, just to get a chance to start this game.

I was going to make an appointment with my sister paper to drink milk tea and watch a movie today, but last night Wei Chusheng took the initiative to contact my dad and said that there was such an opportunity, where did my dad not know his dirty thoughts, but he still transferred 5000 to him, saying that he forgot to give the cigarette money he bought last time.

Damn, my dad doesn't smoke at all.

I can't let 5,000 yuan go down the drain, so I put the pigeon here! ”

Lu Ming is a talker, and he will be unhappy if he doesn't finish the 5,000 yuan in one go.

"But why do you spend money and sit on the cold bench with me?" It's not schadenfreude, it's just that there is a sense of wanting to find the company of an unlucky guy, and good friends should be neat and tidy.

"Grain, this is what I'm not happy about, I can't even buy a starter for 5,000 yuan, Wei Chusheng just promised to give me a chance to play, but he also said that he would be a substitute.

If you look at the two strikers on the front line, they overlap in position, and how can we need two strikers for our quality? But why are they still together?

Just because everyone gave about the same amount of money, there was no way, so Wei Chusheng arranged for them to play together. ”

Lin Hong has learned a lot of things from his three-year sports school career, including Wei Chusheng is a brute as his name suggests, this guy will do everything to make money, and a poor person like Lin Hong has always been the object of his displeasure, if it weren't for Lin Hong's willingness to do dirty work and the cheap labor of the sports school, he would have been driven away by him a long time ago.

But even so, he has a perennial white eye and verbal output to Lin Hong, and only once did Lin Hong sacrifice his life to block the gun and keep the victory, so he praised it.

"After all that, you don't have any ideas?"

Lin Hong smiled helplessly, what could he think of reporting to the Green Vine Sports School?

Forget it, even if the sports school says it, it's useless, he is a certified coach, and the sports school will offend him for himself? Lin Hong is sure that if he reports it, he will definitely be kicked out of the sports school, compared to a coach, a cleaner is nothing.

At this moment, Lin Hong thought of a popular sentence on the Internet, "There is only one disease in the world, and that is the disease of poverty!" ”

Last year, when a teammate was kicked out of the sports school because he couldn't pay the tuition, the principal said in front of everyone - "What kind of football do you play if you don't have money!" ”

Nowadays, there is some truth to this statement, at least in China.

Lin Hong doesn't know how dirty and black Chinese football is, and he has seen a lot of them in the past few years in the sports school, and those young players who have been wronged and calculated have also quarreled, made trouble, and even played, but in the end, they have not been able to change anything except expulsion and permanent fading out of this circle.

Lin Hong loves football, he really loves it from the bottom of his heart, otherwise he would not have given up his life plan before the age of 30 to come to the Green Ivy Sports School.

But he didn't think to report it to the Hulk Club, or anonymously break the news to the media.

Because Lin Hong knows that if he really does this, then he will tear off one of the few fig leafs of Chinese football, and he will be regarded as a poisonous snake and beast by all football participants, then he will never want to step onto the Chinese football stage in his life, and he will never have the opportunity to complete his dream of being a professional player.

For the sake of that ethereal dream, Lin Hong was silent, he was cowardly!

Although he is very aggrieved, he is only a person, what can he do when he is soft-spoken?

At the end of the first half, the score was fixed at 5:0, and Wei Chusheng's face was as black as coal.
