The place where Hu Xuefei lives is called Brand Garden, which is a very ordinary residential area, a red building that can be seen everywhere. The house is not very demanding for Hu Xuefei, and he even feels that this room is very warm and comfortable, and it is not very far from the Dalhalk Stadium, the training ground of the Espanyol youth team.

At this time, Hu Xuefei sat in the back seat of a small car, looking at the red brick house that was gradually moving away behind him, but he scolded in his heart: "Horlyon on the dog day, if you don't come sooner or later, you just came when I ran away, and I happened to meet at the door, I went, am I so unlucky?" ”

Hu Xuefei looked at Horion in the driver's seat and felt very depressed. Facing Horion, Hu Xuefei really couldn't think of any excuse to explain why he went out with his duffel bag, as if his head was down at that moment, and inexplicably said that he planned to move to the base for work.

Hu Xuefei looked at himself in the rearview mirror, angry, angry, and angry, he gave himself a big mouth, telling you that you can't speak, aren't you usually very good at speaking, why did you just say such a thing, Hu Xuefei, Hu Xuefei.

Horion, who was in the driver's seat, glanced up at the rearview mirror, was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Hu, it doesn't matter to you, how can you smoke yourself?" ”

"It's okay, I'm just depressed."

Horion smiled dumbly, "This is not your usual life. ”

Hu Xuefei really didn't have the strength to talk to Horion, and all he was thinking about was what to do when he got to the base.

Brand Gardens is a quarter of an hour's drive from Darhark Stadium, and within a while, Hu Xuefei saw a sky-blue wall with the words Real Espanyol Football Club on the wall.

In the end, Hu Xuefei looked at this very ordinary building, and had mixed feelings in his heart, for him, this building did not have any meaning, and even as long as he gave Hu Xuefei 5 minutes, he could escape from here immediately. However, Hu Xuefei now has a different feeling in his heart, love, reluctance, yearning and so on, and many other feelings come out, feeling that he belongs to this place and will never leave.

The car drove slowly, and instead of parking in the parking space inside, Horion looked for a parking space outside and stopped.

After the car stopped, Hu Xuefei stood beside the car with his duffel bag on his back, looking up at the base, unable to take his eyes off it.

Maybe I shouldn't have run away, maybe I just belong here.

After Horion locked the car door, he patted Hu Xuefei on the shoulder and motioned for him to follow, as if he was very accustomed to Hu Xuefei being stunned.

There are only two football pitches at the Darhalk Stadium, which are located next to each other, with Espanyol Senior on one side and Espanyol training and matches for the rest of Espanyol's youth teams on the other. Espanyol U19 are playing the Spanish U19 Primera Liga on the other side.

This is their home turf.

It's just past 1 o'clock at noon, U19 training time is in the afternoon, because there is only one football field, so, the time allocation is very tight, the Spaniards attach great importance to youth training, and now most of the members of the club's first team are from their own youth team, and in the world, there are still more than 123 active players who debuted in the Espanyol academy to play in major European leagues can be said to be very obvious youth training results, and the field allocation time can be seen from this, From 2pm to 4pm, it's Under-19 training time.

Hu Xuefei followed in the footsteps of Horion to the third floor of the base, which is mainly the coach's office, and Horion is the coach of the U19s, mainly responsible for teaching the children technical knowledge. Don't ask Hu Xuefei how he knows, when he sees Horion, his information automatically appears in his mind, just like another Hu Xuefei lives in Hu Xuefei's mind now.

"Hey, Hu, are you looking for something with me? Why did you follow me to my office? ”

Horion's question interrupted Hu Xuefei's thoughts, Hu Xuefei looked up at Horion's office, which was a very ordinary office, a mahogany desk, two office chairs opposite, and a 3-story cabinet next to it, like a data desk.

"I'm sorry, I was thinking about something, I didn't notice, I'll leave now, I'll go back now."

Hu Xuefei smiled awkwardly, waved his hand, and exited Horion's office. After closing the door, Hu Xuefei began to look for his office.

Darhark Stadium, the base is not very large, and there are not so many corridors on the third floor, Hu Xuefei followed the nameplate on the door and found his office very easily.

"U19 Head Coach - Xue Feihu"

The nameplate was engraved with red letters, Hu Xuefei looked at him for a long time, stretched out his hand to scrub this series of letters, and his heart couldn't help but feel reluctant, as if he was saying goodbye.

Hu Xuefei felt that the one in his body was still there from the moment he saw the base, but he knew very well that he was about to leave.

He was saying goodbye, his consciousness was clinging to this familiar scene, this familiar life, but he couldn't change anything, he couldn't do anything, he was so helpless, and in the end he had to say goodbye one by one.

Hu Xuefei's office is basically the same as Horion's, with an HP computer on the table, and a plate of sunflowers on the windowsill, sunny every day.

Hu Xuefei sat on the chair and looked around, the reluctance in his eyes became more and more intense, and finally, it turned into a sentence,

"Please cherish your life now"

When he left, Hu Xuefei clearly felt the reluctance in his mind, the sense of familiarity disappeared, and the photo frame on the table in front of him didn't even give him a trace of touch.

It was a picture of him with his children.

In the photo, Hu Xuefei is smiling very happily, as if he has no heart or lungs, and in the center of the photo is a trophy, surrounded by children, facing the front, as if they are laughing about their future.

Hu Xuefei picked up the photo frame and gently wiped the lenses with his sleeve, feeling a little shaken, I can't live up to his efforts and his entrustment.

Hu Xuefei was a little uneasy, put down the photo frame, and rummaged around again to see what else was on the desk.

Crackling, Hu Xuefei rummaged through the drawers randomly, not interested in those materials at all, he couldn't understand these things at all.

Well......

What is it

Hu Xuefei found a thick book, the brown book cover, the edges and corners were a little worn, and it looked like it was some years old. Hu Xuefei unfastened the lock on the book cover, and the first thing that came into view was a sentence in large bold

Football is not about life and death, but football is higher than life and death

Is this his obsession, Hu Xuefei was very surprised, the previous Hu Xuefei's love for football was too crazy, he saw through life and death, but he still couldn't let go of football, it was too crazy. Hu Xuefei didn't know that this was a famous quote from legendary Liverpool manager Shankly, and even in the 21st century, it would cause controversy. But this does not affect Hu Xuefei's view of the previous Hu Xuefei,

This is a man who loves football to the point of madness

Hu Xuefei continued to look through the notebook and found that it was a diary, recording the previous Hu Xuefei from the first day he entered the Spaniards.

On June 30, 2007, Hu Xuefei joined RCD Espanyol because of some personnel changes in the club's academy and needed to recruit some staff. Hu Xuefei, who loves football, walked into the door of Darhark Stadium in this way. His initial job was as a stadium cleaner, but Hu Xuefei was not satisfied with this, he knew what he wanted to do and what he wanted to do. So, he began to pay attention to the work of the coaches, would listen carefully to the communication between the coaches and the children on the sidelines, and on the game day, he would do some of his own understanding of the game, and then think and learn by himself. This year, he was only 23 years old.

Espanyol's first team had not been very good that year, finishing 12th in the table and winning nothing in the cup, with last year's joy of winning the Spanish Cup being swept away by this year's poor results.

But these did not affect Hu Xuefei, he still cleaned the stadium and secretly learned football knowledge, and finally, in 08, Alex Garcia's stadium follow-up changed the trajectory of Hu Xuefei's life.

During the youth team game, Hu Xuefei watched 22 teenagers playing football on the field outside the field, constantly writing something with a signature pen in his hand, and looking up from time to time to observe the situation on the field.

Alex unconsciously came behind Hu Xuefei, jokingly wanting to see what the stadium cleaner was doing. Alex didn't bother Hu Xuefei's record, just stood quietly behind Hu Xuefei, looked down at Hu Xuefei's record from time to time, and looked up at the situation on the field from time to time, it seemed to be comparing. Until the end of this invitational tournament.

Hu Xuefei put away his notebook, wanted to get up, and was ready to start his work. Hu Xuefei did not turn around, nor did he find the Spanish youth director Alex behind him, but went directly to the stadium, ready to start cleaning up the garbage on the field.

Alex looked at Hu Xuefei's back, looked at the assistant beside him, and asked with a smile: "Has this kid always been like this?" Alex pointed to Hu Xuefei's back.

"Yes, sir. He was the stadium cleaner who was recruited last year, and everyone knew about his desertion, but because it didn't affect normal training and work, he didn't care. ”

"Do you need me to fire him?"

"No, it's not, ....., maybe we can give him a new contract and see what he achieves in the future, isn't that interesting?"

In this way, Hu Xuefei embarked on the road of coaching.

Hu Xuefei is very serious and studious, he never chatters nonsense, and gradually won the favor of the youth team coaching team, and everyone began to accept this airborne household.

In just a few years, Hu Xuefei was admitted to the UEFA C certificate, and in 2015, under the recommendation of Alex, he officially began to coach the U19 team. And Hu Xuefei is naturally very grateful to Alis, and between the lines in the diary, there is a strong sense of gratitude.

Time passed quickly, just 2 hours passed in this diary, the past time can be recorded in the notebook, but people are things and people.

When browsing the diary, Horion once came to look for Hu Xuefei, and when the U19 training session began, Horion came up to find Hu Xuefei down. As soon as Hu Xuefei heard that it was a training session, he was already distracted, wouldn't he be exposed this time, if he didn't go, he waved his hand and rejected Horion, just let Horion proceed according to the usual training schedule, and just sent Horion away.

Closing the diary, Hu Xuefei had mixed feelings in his heart, this trip made Hu Xuefei feel very uncomfortable, it felt like stealing the fruits of other people's labor, but he couldn't keep it and lived up to the support of others.

I should stay, I shouldn't go, maybe on the other side of the world, there is no other Hu Xuefei in Shandong, maybe there is only one Hu Xuefei in this world, if I go back, where should I go, and truly become a loner. Stay here, I still have my teammates, I still have those partners who can discuss day and night, even if you don't understand anything, you can just learn, where is there any need to be afraid.

It's decided, stay, stay and be a coach, the last Hu Xuefei didn't have the desire to complete, I will complete it, I am now Hu Xuefei, the head coach of the Spaniard U19.
