Jiangcheng is a small city. Because the city runs through the river supplying the province's resources, the city's development plan is strictly restricted. The people here know that even if the whole province pays money to support Jiangcheng every year, Jiangcheng is not allowed to engage in industrialization. Excessive commercialization is also strictly prohibited.

Urban greening is the top priority, and environmental protection is also the top priority. Therefore, the picturesque scenery here, coupled with the mild climate, has made Jiangcheng a well-known retirement city in China, rather than young people who are willing to start a business with a shocking future. Well, the pace of life here is so slow that young people are not interested.

As the sun sets, on the other side of the river, on the slope of the embankment, a young man sits kneeling on the slope of green grass, with a drawing book on his lap, and uses a pencil in his right hand to quickly outline the scene of the setting sun in front of him on the drawing book .

The green space below the slope is a shared football field. At this time, two teams are playing an entertainment match. Looking at the clothes of the two sides, they are the famous "Manchester United" and "Real Madrid". One is red and the other is white. The two colors of the mainstream of European football.

Of course, it is impossible for England's Red Devils and Spain's Galaxy Battleship to come to the small city of Jiangcheng, especially two months ago, the number one star belonging to Manchester United, and even the most attention-getting superstar on the planet, David Beckham Due to the break with his teacher Ferguson due to Flying Boots, he finally switched to the star-studded Real Madrid. The Spanish white giant Real Madrid Galactico officially set sail!

It is impossible for Jiangcheng to hire these two teams.

It is obvious that the local teenagers are in love with the two world-class giants and chose to wear the jerseys of the Red Devils and the Galacticos.

The young man sitting on the slope is doing a simple sketch. The lower part of the picture outlines the nearby stadium and the two teams playing football. In the middle and long distance, there are continuous towering green hills. The upper part of the picture , everything looks normal, the sunset glow, the soft light is refreshing, if the picture is only the end of it, then this sketch is a masterpiece.

However, above the rosy clouds, the young man is depicting a scene that does not exist in front of his eyes: a green dragon with a ferocious face!

The blue dragon overlooks the world, ferocious as a demon, as if it symbolizes bad luck and disaster, and looks at the world with covetous eyes!

The young man's right hand holding the pen is getting faster and faster, and the tip of the pencil is constantly adding to the dark color on Qinglong's body. His eyes are full of persistence, as if the whole person is possessed by a demon.

A cry brought him back to reality.

"Dude, do me a favor!"

The young man looked up and saw a dirty football at the bottom of the slope, and the players on the field in the distance were all looking at him, beckoning, hoping that he could help kick the ball to them, lest they run out to pick it up and waste their energy.

The young man who came back to his senses put away the drawing books and pencils, and put them in the leisure bag on the slant. He stood up. At this time, those teenagers who were playing football in the distance noticed that this man sitting on the slope The stranger who has been with him for a long time, with a slender figure, looks from a distance, making many men envious.

A young man dressed in sportswear walked down the slope, gently stepped on the football with his right foot in sneakers, and looked at the goal on the left side of the field from a distance. It was about 100 meters away from him. The young man stepped on the football with his right foot towards the goal He kicked lightly in front, then stepped forward with his left leg, supported his body with his left foot, and pulled his right leg back, like a full moon stretching its bow, a picture that dazzled the eyes of teenagers in the distance appeared in front of them.

It's hard to say whether it's too standard, or too smooth and natural, but the kicking posture of this stranger is particularly pleasing to the eye.

boom!

The inside of the youth's right foot hit the football, and the inner instep exerted force. The football spun violently as it rose into the air, and an arc that seemed to cut through the sky suddenly appeared.

The teenagers on the field opened their eyes wide, looked up at the sky collectively, and caught the trajectory of the football spinning.

That arc surprised them!

Banana balls!

But where is this going?

When the football flies in the sky, it sometimes presents a beautiful and unpredictable picture.

And the football kicked by this strange youth, after drawing a big arc in the sky, fell rapidly, and flew straight into the goal on the left side of the field!

The goalkeeper standing in front of the goal couldn't react in time. At the first moment, he had a premonition that the ball was flying towards him, but the arc of the football was too large, and the acceleration after falling caught him off guard. The angle at which the football flew into the goal In fact, it was not tricky, it was just two feet away from him, but he was affected by his panic, and almost staggered and fell to the ground.

Except for the goalkeeper, everyone else was dumbfounded!

You must know that the strange young man was facing the goal obliquely. Correspondingly, the angle of the goal was compressed and reduced, and it was still nearly a hundred meters away!

When they went to look for the figure of the young man after the shock, they found that on the side of the road above the slope, the young man was walking away with a shoulder bag and hands in his pockets.

The teenager who reacted immediately shouted: "Hey, are you Qin Xiong?"

The youth drifting away on the sidewalk did not look back and did not respond.

"It must be him! It must be him! Except for him, no one in Jiangcheng can do such cool things with football!"

"Looking at his figure, it might really be him!"

"Oh my God! He was sitting there just now, the whole time! I really should take a photo with him, the prince of Chinese football!"

On the court, the distracted teenagers got together and discussed with great interest.

In 2002, the Chinese team suffered a disastrous defeat at the Korea-Japan World Cup. The local Korean team made it to the semi-finals, and the Japanese team also entered the top 16. Teams representing Asia performed well. Although the achievements of the Korean team are highly controversial, But in contrast, the Chinese team could not raise its head in front of South Korea and Japan anyway.

At the end of 2002, a U18 match between China and South Korea was held in Busan. It was a friendly match between Chinese private companies and the Korean Football Association. In this match, the U18 Chinese team defeated the U3 South Korean team 1:18.

In the first half of 2003, the same U18 Chinese team rushed to Tokyo, Japan. A private company also contacted the Japan Football Association to finalize a U18 friendly match. In that game, the U18 Chinese team defeated the U4 Japanese team 0:18.

In these two games, the player who served as the captain of the U18 Chinese team was Qin Xiong, who was only 17 years old!

Although these two games are not well-known and influential, but under the attention of many caring people, especially those who love football in Jiangcheng, they all know that it is a friendly match for the Tang Group to go out to contact, and most of the players representing China are from The home of youth football in Jiangcheng, Qin Xiong, is a native of Jiangcheng. After two exciting victories, Qin Xiong, who served as the captain and played a leading role, was praised by Jiangcheng fans as: the prince of Chinese football!

They are waiting, waiting for Qin Xiong's next development, whether to take off in China or choose to study abroad. Now, he is the prince. When he grows up, will he become the emperor of Chinese football?

Especially teenagers who love football, while worshiping Qin Xiong, they are also eagerly looking forward to the day when he ascends the throne!

The young man left the embankment by the river and walked towards the north of the city. Half an hour later, the end of the road under his feet was the end of his return journey: Jiangcheng Youth Football Home.

This is the industry of the Tang Group, with a history of nearly 20 years. At first, the outside world thought it was an orphanage. Ten years ago, it was officially listed as a youth football training base. It occupies a small area, like a slightly larger middle school. Dormitory, dining room, gymnasium, medical room, four football fields, etc., although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

The young man started jogging towards the destination, and when he ran into the gate, he and the doorman showed a slight smile, and the doorman returned a kind smile, watching the young man go away, sighing in his heart: young, so good!

The youth ran to the dormitory. His residence was different from other teenagers. More than 90% of the teenagers here lived in collective dormitory buildings, but he was in an independent apartment.

On the upper floor of his apartment, living opposite him is a foreigner named Kyle Freddie, a very elegant and gentlemanly Englishman. He is just 40 years old this year. He has known this young man for 11 years. , and took care of him as a guardian for 11 years.

At this time, Freddy was reading a book standing on the balcony on the third floor. When he saw a young man jogging from the road next to the restaurant in the distance, he immediately put down the book and placed a camera supported by a tripod beside him. The lens was aimed at the place , it was the relatively open road downstairs, he pressed the video button, and immediately shouted condescendingly to the young man: "Qin, run, run, run! Quick, quick, quick!"

The young man jogging over took off his shoulder bag and threw it on the ground, and then his running speed suddenly accelerated. If outsiders noticed, the place where he started to speed up happened to be the edge of the small flower bed in front of the building, and the road leading to the apartment building below , the length is exactly 30 meters!

The running young man is fast, with firm eyes, like a cheetah galloping on the grassland!

As if a gust of wind passed by, the young man crossed the flower bed and came to the front of the building, then slowed down, then trotted back to pick up his shoulder bag and headed towards the apartment building.

Freddie on the upstairs balcony smiled and went to watch the recorded video, repeatedly confirming the speed achieved by the young man in the 30-meter sprint.

When he confirmed that the youth was a little faster than the previous sprint speed, yes, it was only 0.09 seconds faster, but he still showed obvious joy.

I often hear the description of the speed of football players as how fast the 20-meter speed is. In fact, this is one-sided, because on the football field, the sprint at a critical moment is generally 30-[-] meters!

What really determines success or failure at the critical moment, speed is only the foundation, explosive power and acceleration are more critical!

Freddy walked back to the room, took out a notebook from the bookshelf in his study, turned to the latest page, and recorded the date and the precise time of the youth's 30-meter sprint.

On the bookshelf full of notebooks, ordinary people may not be able to imagine that this is the accumulation of Freddy's work for more than ten years. The content of each notebook is all about recording or analyzing the growth of the young man and football-related data.

After putting away the notebook, Freddy walked out of the house, and happened to see a young man with a shoulder bag opening the door of his house. Freddy smiled and said hello: "Hi, Qin Xiong, where did you go today? Did you have an affair?"

His Chinese is really smooth!

However, Qin Xiong seemed in a bad mood, he didn't answer, and went directly into his room after opening the door.

Freddy followed in helplessly, sighing softly in his heart: I'm not happy.
