Junior football dream

Chapter 6 Winning streak
"It's developed, Xingxing! I didn't expect that there will be bonuses. It's really good."

Assunsang held a stack of bonuses issued to him by the club in his hand, grinning from ear to ear.

"Yeah, not bad."

Holding this stack of reals, Zhou Xing smiled happily.For him, it would be best if he could save some money.You know, air tickets are not cheap.

"How about it, I'm doing okay, Xing Xing."

Asunsang smiled.In the first game, he kept a clean sheet and tried his best to protect his team's goal from being conceded. Assuncao was very proud.

"Well, it's okay."

Zhou Xing answered casually, and his thoughts now returned to the last game. "Oh, I had two good chances, but I failed to score the ball!" Zhou Xing was very annoyed when he remembered that he had missed two chances.He is still not satisfied with his performance in the last game.

"You're doing well, why don't you look very happy."

Asongsang saw that Zhou Xing was in a bad mood, so he hurriedly asked.

"Hey, I think my shooting still needs to be improved. Let's go and practice shooting after dinner."

Zhou Xing tidied up his clothes, got up and said.

"You guy, don't ask for perfection. One goal, two assists, isn't it enough!"

The red-haired boy didn't expect that Zhou Xing was still not satisfied with his performance, so he said in surprise.

"Tell me, will you accompany me?"

Zhou Xing became impatient, and if Asuncang refused to agree, he planned to go to the court to practice alone.

"Okay, please have dinner. Anyway, you still have a bonus of [-] reais for scoring goals, which is more than mine."

At this time, the red-haired boy began to reveal his profiteering nature and began to blackmail Zhou Xing.

Seeing his good partner make a request, of course Zhou Xing couldn't refuse.You know, Assungsang has taken care of him a lot in the past two years, and a meal is of course indispensable.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you. After the training is over, we will go together, okay."

After Zhou Xing changed his sneakers, he planned to go out.

"Okay, wait for me, come right away."

Asunsang was only wearing slippers at this time, seeing this, he quickly picked up his sneakers and gloves, and quickly rushed up.

"Where are you going?"

Coach Scolari knew that this was the first time that Zhou Xing and Assuncao had won bonuses, and he was afraid that they would spend them indiscriminately.In addition, I performed very well in the first game, and I was afraid that they would become proud, so I planned to come to them to have a heart-to-heart talk.

"Oh, it's the coach. Zhou Xing said that his shooting was lacking in the last game. He wanted to practice shooting and asked me to help keep the goal. What, coach, are you planning to invite Zhou Xing and me to dinner to celebrate the victory? !” Assunsan laughed.

"Okay, please. You have to practice now. I will call you at the stadium at six o'clock."

Scolari laughed, turned and left after speaking.

Seeing that Zhou Xing was still training at this time, he felt very happy in his heart.Due to their age, Zhou Xing and Assuncao are the youngest in the team, and they live with those older players.At this time, the older team members who have been paid go out to have fun, or go to the bar to drink.Many geniuses ruined their football careers because of their casual lives.

"However, he may be an outlier." Looking at Zhou Xing Scolari who was training on the court, he laughed.

"Coach, you don't need to order so many dishes, the three of us can't finish them."

Looking at the sumptuous meal in front of him, Asuncang exclaimed.

"Yeah, that would be a waste."

Zhou Xing has been used to being poor since he was a child, so he can't see waste.He feels that waste is the most shameful thing.

"Okay, if you can't finish eating, you can pack it and take it home. Anyway, I think you have eaten enough of the team's nutritious meals." Scolari replied to the two with a smile.

"That's right, I can't get enough of that food at all." Assongsang said.With a big belly, he hates nutritious meals the most. Every meal makes him very annoyed, and he can't eat enough.

"That's right, I hate it too!" What Zhou Xing fears most is going hungry, and his greatest wish is to be full for every meal.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Scolari smiled and said, "You know what? Why are you told to eat nutritious meals? It's because of your health."

After taking a sip of water, he continued to add: "You have to know that an athlete's body can't have too much fat, otherwise it will affect your sports career. Although many people don't want to, eating a nutritious meal can indeed prolong your life. Sports life. You can see that Ronaldo is very good. However, you must know that he was even more powerful before he gained weight. He was originally the best striker in the world, but now he can only be regarded as one of the best strikers. Otherwise, with his talent, It's easy to score goals every game."

Looking at the thoughtful looks of the two, Scolari said again: "You got the money, how do you plan to spend it?"

"Money. I'll probably buy some things for daily use, and save the rest."

Zhou Xing replied.For him, having some savings is the safest thing to prevent some unexpected events.After all, he has no one to rely on here, nor does he have the help of his relatives.

"I keep one hundred, and ask my dad to save the rest for me."

Assuncao had already called home to tell his dad about his win.Although there is no shortage of his little money in the family, he still feels quite fulfilled by handing over the money to the family.Thinking of how his two younger brothers and one younger sister saw him making money, they would be surprised and said: "That's amazing, brother."

"That's good. I was afraid that you would waste money. You know, the life of a football player is very short, and he can only play for 20 years at most. Look at me, I have only played for ten years. Injuries and injuries. In addition, we have no education, can't do anything well, and if we don't have any savings, we will die. Look at the drunkard Garrincha, known as "Little Bird", who won the World Cup. It's just , Didn’t he die in poverty in the end?”

Scolari said with emotion, feeling very sorry.

"I see."

Both Zhou Xing and Asongsang nodded, understanding the painstaking care of the old man in front of them.

Zhou Xing said gratefully: "Coach, thank you."

For the first time, Assuncao did not joke with Scolari, and said seriously: "Thank the Lord for giving us Scolari!"

"Coach, it's been so long, the food is cold. Don't tell me, you didn't bring your wallet."

This sentence swept away the serious atmosphere at the dinner table, and all three of them burst out laughing.After laughing, the three of them began to eat and chew.

"Cheers!" The three raised their glasses while eating, drinking delicious wine.

In the next few games, both Zhou Xing and Assuncao played very well.In the second game, Zhou Xing relied on his own breakthrough, passed three defenders, and won the second goal of his career with a beautiful shot.

The Corinthians who followed had multiple chances.And Assuncao also blocked high blocks and low catches, resolving many threatening shots from the opponent.

Three to zero, the final result made Scolari very happy, which can be regarded as his second victory.If this momentum continues, the word "agent" of his acting coach will be removed sooner or later.

In the third game, Zhou Xing scored a hat trick.In the 3rd minute of the first half, he received a pass from his teammate in front of the penalty area and scored his third career goal with a volley.In the second half, he was even more unstoppable, shooting five times, all of which threatened the opponent's goal.

On 63 minutes, he scored his fourth career goal with a volley.

At the end of the game, he dribbled the ball into the penalty area at high speed, pulled and dunked, dodged the two guards defending him, and kicked a shot at a 45-degree angle to the goal, performing a hat-trick.

However, Assuncao was not so lucky.He conceded two goals in this game, one was a penalty and the other was a header that went straight into the far corner of the goal.Even so, he blocked the opponent's threatening shots as many as thirteen times and became the team's winning hero.

In the end, the game ended four to two.Scolari won his third game, and the Corinthians ushered in a three-game winning streak.

Upon receiving this news, the club was very happy and removed the word "agent" from Scolari and replaced it with an official one.As for Zhou Xing and Assuncao, they won their first professional player contracts.

"Look, if there is no problem, sign the contract."

Scolari smiled and said that he won this contract from the club.As the heroes of the three-game winning streak, they are eligible for this contract.

"Seven thousand dollars, oh, I'm worth that much!"

Zhou Xing burst into ecstasy, and his contract wrote: "Zhou Xing, the signing fee is [-], and the contract period is three years."

On the other hand, Asongsang shouted in dissatisfaction: "Oh, why? Why do I only have [-]? Isn't the goalkeeper a human?"

In this way, the two future stars of the Corinthians Club signed with the club for US$[-] and US$[-] respectively, and won their first contracts in their careers.
