Two months later, on the training ground of the youth academy of Manchester United Football Club in England, children wearing red and blue jerseys were playing, and many scouts and parents were surrounding the field.

The score on the scoreboard is 2:1, with 2 points for the red team and 1 point for the blue team.

Chen Mo, who was wearing a blue jersey, warmed up on the sidelines, his eyes firmly fixed on the players on the field.

"It's been 57 minutes into the second half, why don't you let me play?!"

Chen Mo is a little anxious, it has been a week since he came to the UK, under the leadership of Li Zhiqiang, today he got the trial qualification for Manchester United's academy, and then came here, and put on the blue jersey when he just knew that the coach's name was Krosso.

However, in a hurry, Chen Mo did not feel unhappy.

Manchester United is a world-renowned super club, and the academy is even stronger, with David Beckham, Neville, Ryan Giggs, and Paul Scholes all produced by Manchester United's academy.

There are more than a few hundred people who come here for trial, and Chen Mo is already very satisfied with being able to rank up.

After waiting for a while, in the 70th minute of the second half, the red team scored another goal, and the score was 3:1.

The white coach with a hooked nose, Krosso, finally called Chen Mo to his side and pointed fingers: "Wait for you to go up and kick the back, I don't need you to clear the midfielder, and I don't need you to pass the ball, your task is to stop everyone who tries to pass by you, understand?" ”

Let me play in the back???

Chen Mo pulls out the cold in his heart, his technical characteristics are sharp passing, guiding the midfield, and his weakness is that his physical fitness is not too hard, and his strength and bounce are not good.

Let me play in the back...

Chen Mo Lizheng: "Understood, sir! ”

Krosso nodded: "Very good, go ahead!" ”

With a throw-in, the referee raised the electronic substitution card, Chen Mo took a deep breath and stepped onto the football field in England.

.

In the trial game, naturally there were not many fans cheering, and Chen Mo, who was on the court, didn't feel too nervous, or to be more precise, except for facing his father, he never knew how to write about nervousness and fear.

The game resumes with the blue side serving the ball from left to right.

I have to say that English football does have a foundation, even if it is a trial match under 15 years old, the blue team did not do anything to drive forward after serving, and the amateur operation of the dog holding the frisbee, the players are relatively stable, and they do not rush to plug it, but constantly pour their feet back and forth near the center circle, trying to control the situation.

Unfortunately, it takes a good sense of awareness and solid fundamentals to kick the pass.

It's all kids, the basics are usually crucial in the trial game, the red team players are very active, as if they were playing chicken blood, the strikers and midfielders immediately come up and press.

At this time, the blue team players panicked.

As soon as the white boy wearing the No. 99 jersey in front of him received the ball, the opponent's tall black midfielder was already in front of him, and in a hurry, he turned around and kicked the ball towards Chen Mo in a ten-twisted, almost unbalanced posture.

"Bang~~~"

It's limpy, the ball is slow, and it's crooked!

"Suffer!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the opponent's black center rushing towards the ball, Chen Mo's expression changed, and he ran without saying a word, rushing up against the way the ball came, but the moment his toes touched the ball, he seemed to feel that a truck hit his shoulder, his head was empty, and the whole person spun and flew out.

The whistle didn't sound, flying close to the ground, Chen Mo saw a black guy as strong as a wild boar snatch his ball, and then ran all the way towards the goal.

His grandmother's, what can he eat to grow so strong?!

Spit and complain, Chen Mo still got up to catch up at the first time, but his speed was average, and he couldn't catch up no matter how he chased it, and finally let the wild boar striker complete the single-knife goal.

Krosso, who was on the sidelines, shook his head and said unceremoniously to Li Zhiqiang beside him: "This kid's physical fitness is too poor, just now he did a physical confrontation at that angle, according to the perspective of inertia, he should have the advantage, and he was directly knocked away, and his failure in this confrontation directly led to the loss of the ball!" ”

Li Zhiqiang accompanied the smiling face: "Mr. Crosso, he just turned thirteen three months ago, and there is still room for development in the future." ”

Krosso shook his head: "Now all the people standing on the field with him are peers, he will develop, won't others?" And he is still a yellow race, born with a physical disadvantage. ”

This was a little ugly, and Li Zhiqiang's smile was a little stiff: "Mr. Krosso, Chen Mo's physical fitness is indeed not strong, he is characterized by guiding the midfielder and kicking the ball, and he has previously set a record of 12 games, 1 goal and 24 assists in the National Junior High School League in the Dragon Country." I don't know if I can.. Let him try to kick the heart of the organization? ”

"The core of the organization? This kind of physical fitness can provide 24 assists in 12 games, and Dragon Country football is really deserted. Listen, this kid is not Zidane, nor is he Beckham, it is impossible for the team to play around him! There are so many children here who are better than him in terms of organization! ”

Krosso clasped his arms with his hands, and there was a hint of disdain in his eyes, he had no friendship with Li Zhiqiang, and he had always looked down on Longguo football.

In his opinion, although Chen Mo is an Argentine, he was exposed to football in the Dragon Country.

What is Dragon Country Football? It's a desert!

The players who come out there are characterless, and they don't have any strengths other than defensive hard work.

Even the old bank can't do a good job of defense, so what's the point of talking?

You can't expect an Argentine who has learned technology in the Dragon Kingdom to be delicate and coquettish in passing, right?

It's simply impossible!

Li Zhiqiang didn't say anything more when he saw this, he was sociable and had a wide range of channels, but in the final analysis, he was a football reporter and had no right to speak, Krosso, the head coach of the youth team, asked Chen Mo to play an unfamiliar back, and he couldn't do anything, he could only say that Chen Mo was unlucky and couldn't get the stage to play.

"It seems that Manchester United is out of play."

Li Zhiqiang's expression was a little pity, he carefully studied Chen Mo's game video, and knew that Chen Mo's style was actually more inclined to be a midfielder brain, he needed to have space and ball, as long as there were these two conditions, Chen Mo's energy was definitely the best among his peers, even in the UK, but Krosso didn't know.

The game continued, the pass just now hurt Chen Mo, No. 99 was a little embarrassed, became more cautious, and did not pass the kind of pit ball again, and after suffering the loss of the black wild boar, Chen Mo also began to adjust his thinking, not to seek hand-to-hand combat, but to try to use the advantage of physical flexibility to pull.

But he is really not used to playing in the position of the midfielder, although many of the midfielders are also the presence of a midfielder and a metronome, but most of the organizational midfielders will be accompanied by one or two defensive gates.

This kind of back is said to be the back waist, in fact, the task of defense is not heavy, and the blue team in this game is a 433 formation, a single back and the main side, the two central defenders are very close to the sideline when attacking, and only Chen Mo is left in the entire midfield, that is to say, once he makes a mistake at this point, he is counterattacked, and he is directly facing the goalkeeper, and he does not dare to rush forward.

What's more, the task arranged by Krosso is equivalent to being a scavenger.

With a height of about 1.7 meters, what do you take to compete with Lao Hei?

How can a 120-pound weight go against the opponent's striker who is close to 180 pounds to get the ball?

Chen Mo could only run desperately and kept passing the ball to the defenders, but because his awareness was more than a grade higher than that of all the trial students here, the speed of the pass was very fast, from not sticking to the ball, the ball was passed as soon as it arrived, not only the opponent couldn't react, but the defenders on the blue side were also stunned.

After reaping several passing errors, Chen Mo did not complain, and continued to adjust himself, but he didn't dare to let go of the pass in terms of passing, paused and adjusted after receiving the ball, and waited for his players to run into place, which made him face more time to fight with the opponent's wild boar center.

Compared to strength, he is not an opponent, and he is not the top in ball control, and is often squeezed by the boar center to the deformation of his movements.

Mistakes are increasing.

Gradually, the other players stopped passing the ball to him, Chen Mo was not negative, he was still running, trying to find opportunities to pass the ball, but unfortunately, sometimes the opportunity came out, and his teammates no longer trusted him.

Twenty minutes later, when the whistle blew for the end of the game, Chen silently left the game, and Croso didn't even look at him, and walked straight to a few of his more optimistic trial students.

Looking at Chen Mo who bowed his head and left the game, a trace of distress flashed in Li Zhiqiang's eyes, and he quickly stepped forward and handed over a bottle of mineral water, cheering up: "Don't be discouraged, England is not only Manchester United Academy, we still have a chance, life, the sunshine is always after the wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow without experiencing setbacks?!" You're right! ”

"What are you talking about, Uncle Li?"

Chen Mo wiped the sweat stains from his chin and drank water while looking at the radiant Li Zhiqiang in a daze.

Li Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, put away the Buddha's light, and then said: "Hey, you kid, you don't have to hide it, I am a brother with your father, and I grew up wearing a pair of pants, and I feel sad to tell my uncle, just say it." ”

Chen Mo scratched his head and smiled: "I'm really not sad, I just think that football in England is not as good as you said, ahahahaha!" If I hadn't played in the back this time, I would have suffered physically, I couldn't control the ball and I had to take care of defense, and I had at least seven or eight chances in the game just now, and I could have sent the ball behind the opponent's defense! But this is also my own problem, the ball control and power are still too weak, and I have to work harder in the future! ”

"Quite self-aware." Li Zhiqiang's egg hurts: "However, English football is not good... You kid is really arrogant! ”

"There's nothing wrong with arrogance, my dad often says that arrogant people are saved, and people with low self-esteem are really not saved." Chen Mo smiled: "Okay, let's go to the field quickly, I don't believe that the entire England academy will let me play in the back!" ”

"You kid... It's just like your dad was when he was younger! Sooner or later, you will have to suffer! ”

"Then we'll talk about it later, hehe."
