Chapter 55: A New Journey
"That's a weird question, can't I have both?" Chen Mo smiled and shrugged: "Besides, don't you yourself pounce on your studies every day and never date boys, then do you think studying is more attractive than boys?" ”
"Hey, hey, you're not allowed to answer questions with questions!" Klee crossed her waist with her backhand, wrinkled her little nose, and then laughed again: "But my question is a bit stupid, which superstar is not accompanied by beautiful women, women and football don't seem to conflict." Let me ask you another way, why do you like to play football so much? Is it to make money? ”
"Can you not ask such a sharp question?"
"Say it!"
“...”
Klee leaned close to her little head, and the smell of soap poured into her nose, Chen Mo was embarrassed, and flipped the roasted sausage in her hand: "Of course you want to make money, who hates money?" But the main thing is that I like to play football. ”
"So why do you like to play football? I heard Leon and Antonella say that you were quiet when you were a kid and didn't like strenuous exercise at all. ”
Klee held her chin like a curious baby, and Chen Mo shrugged with a smile: "How can I say it, a very strange chance." As Xiaomei said, I was very introverted when I was a child, and I had few friends, except for him and Antonella, who basically had no friends, but I was very happy at that time, reading comics every day, practicing with him, living in my own small world, and dreaming of becoming a cartoonist in the future. But then I moved to Dragon Country with my father, and the school there forbade students to read comic books, and the teacher confiscated my comic books, and even tore them up in public at the parent-teacher meeting and said that I was a rat.
Later, many of my classmates' parents thought I was a bad boy and told them not to play with me. I was so angry that I skipped school, but I had nothing to do when I was absent from school, and I didn't have the money to play game consoles, so I happened to meet some guys who were playing wild ball, and they invited me. Slowly, I made a lot of friends through football, and we played together every day, and that's when I found myself in love with football. ”
"I think you like the atmosphere of being with your friends more than football."
Klee was thoughtful, Chen Mo nodded: "There is a saying in the Dragon Kingdom called [no brothers, no football], for me, the charm of football itself is not how many goals are scored, but from the things that extend from this sport to get happiness." ”
"Like friendship, like honor, like other people's recognition?"
"Hahaha, of course these are indispensable."
"That's right, but didn't Daddy care when he saw you skipping school?"
Klee blinked her big sparkling eyes and took a sip of juice, Chen Mo shook his head, his eyes seemed to think of something interesting, and said with a smile: "I don't care much, he also quarreled with my homeroom teacher." I remember that day he drank some liquor before going to school. In the teacher's office, the head teacher said that I would be a social moth after I didn't study, but he slapped the table and said that people can only succeed if they do what they really like, and only by doing what they like can life be meaningful, which made the head teacher tremble..."
"Hahaha, your dad is really personal!"
Klee covered her stomach with a smile and shrunk up on the sofa, Chen Mo pouted and smiled: "Everyone has a personality after drinking, and after waking up, I didn't honestly carry a gift to the teacher's house to apologize... But after that, I joined the school football team, and the homeroom teacher didn't care much about me. ”
"I really envy you for having an enlightened father. By the way, do you think your dad is right? ”
"Huh? Which sentence? ”
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, the corners of Klee's mouth still had a smile on her lips lying on the sofa, but her eyes were a little fluttering: "Only by doing what you really like can you change your fate." ”
"Well, isn't that a living example? If my mind were to work in a field related to mathematics, I would probably be hungry for the rest of my life, but with football, I can support myself now. ”
"Is that so... I understand! ”
Klee sat up suddenly, and Chen Mo was startled: "What do you understand?" ”
"I decided I wanted to be a computer software engineer!"
“...”
Chen Mo was stunned, and Klee smiled: "You should have heard of my situation, my father is an addict, and in order to snatch the deposit from my mother, he fell off the bridge and then stayed at a relative's house." Eh, don't look at me like that, I don't want to hear anything comforting from you, and I don't need anyone to comfort me. I said, just listen quietly! ”
"Uh... Okay. ”
Chen Mo handed over the roast hot dog, Klee put her fair and slender calves on the sofa, biting the hot dog and looking at the night sky: "To be honest, my life is not happy now, to be precise, it is very depressing." If it weren't for the government subsidy and the annual scholarship, Uncle Jim would have kicked me out of the house a long time ago. In short, the situation is very bad!
I've been pushing myself to study hard to get a scholarship, but I don't really have the slightest interest in the subjects that my current teachers teach. It's painful to learn, and I have to learn, and without a scholarship, I will be swept away, but even so, I feel that as the textbook knowledge becomes deeper and deeper, it is becoming more and more difficult to get a scholarship, you don't know how difficult it was for me to have a while ago, I was worried that I wouldn't get a scholarship, and I couldn't sleep all night. At the end of the day, I don't like these subjects myself, and no matter how hard I try, I can't compare to those who like and are talented, so as long as I'm still on this track, I'll be left behind one day! ”
Chen Mo raised his eyebrows: "So, do you want to do what you like?" ”
"Or else? I don't want to be kicked around like a ball by my relatives like I used to, like a stray dog! ”
"Oh, I know this feeling, when my father and I first returned to the Dragon Kingdom, we were short of money, and those relatives were also far away."
Chen Mo nodded, "But, what is that computer software engineer?" ”
"It's just writing code! Like the game consoles you play, and the webmail website software and everything else are written through code, let me tell you, I've been secretly buying books to study for a long time..."
Speaking of computer software engineer Klee, she came to the spirit, and she was enthusiastic about Chen Mo's popular science.
A little smoke drifted into the night sky, and the two leaned on the sofa eating barbecue and chatting, completely ignoring the noisy people around them, and the bell of Chinese New Year's Eve was quietly approaching.
.
At the same time, the other side.
The Salvador Palace Hotel on Via Skolz Street brings together the management of Barcelona.
This is the first year that Joan Gasparte has been elected president of Barcelona, and although the team's results have been poor, everyone from the club's top management to the academy coaches have come, and the atmosphere in the box is very lively.
Smelling the strong smell of tobacco and alcohol in the air, Old Coach Zack, who had few good teeth left, chewed a barbecue steak in his mouth and touched the arm of the middle-aged white man next to him.
"Joseph, I heard that you are going to take the second-tier team to Madrid for the Mercedes-Benz Champions Cup next month?"
Joseph turned around, nodded and smiled: "Well, many second-tier players haven't played this month, I'm going to take them to practice, maybe they can win bonuses, what's wrong?" ”
"Is the candidate decided?"
"Not yet."
"That's right." Zach swallowed the barbecue and rubbed his wrinkled palms with a napkin: "How about bringing Chen Mo, Leon and Pique Xiaofa?" ”
"What?"
Joseph was stunned for a moment, his facial features were tangled together, and he was puzzled: "This Mercedes-Benz Champions Cup is a U19 age group competition, you let me take four U13 little guys?" ”
Coach Zach smiled: "Real Madrid and Bayern also brought a few sixteen-year-old little guys, Schweinsteiger and Juanfran, oh yes, Bayern also has a little guy named Lahm who has just turned seventeen." ”
"That's over sixteen years old, Chen Mo and they are only fourteen years old, they can't play this level of competition."
Joseph sternly refused, Zach smiled: "Take it and try it, anyway, you don't have anyone to use now, Xavi can't go, Iniesta was also mentioned by Ferrer to prepare for the first team, just those little guys in the U19 now, there is no way to compete with Bayern Real Madrid, you don't want to lose to them." ”
"But..."
When it came to the pain points, Joseph's face was a little hesitant, and Zach smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not just letting a few little guys go to see the world, mainly... Now the U15s, or even leagues below the U16s, can't adapt to them at all. ”
