Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 3 The Successful Sellers Show
The next day was Sunday. In order to test his real progress, Zhang Mai came to the Hammond Sports Center, the nearest community court to Chinatown.

Because Sunday and weekend are community football match days, the football field is full of people,

Zhang Mai can only conduct adaptive warm-up and training without the ball on the track and field training ground next to him.

Simple short-distance (30-meter) sprints and 60-meter back and forth runs, one set of ten times, with a 5-minute rest in between.

After completing three sets of speed training, Zhang Mai carefully appreciates the changes in his physical fitness.

The height and weight have not changed, but the strength has increased, and the start and stop have improved greatly. I can feel the improvement in the sprint and switchback running just now; the coordination and balance of the body have also improved a lot, and the rhythm and rhythm have become better. Good running can save yourself a lot of energy and improve your competition ability.

"Mike John, it's really you, I thought I was wrong!"

A Chinese chubby man who was about the same age as Zhang Mai walked over, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Hello, Wen Xiaopang, I'm here to watch the community competition again."

It turned out that it was Wen Xiaohai, the second-generation mainlander who often came to Zhang's restaurant to eat, and was Zhang Mai's only Chinese friend in Liverpool.

This kid is also strong enough. He went to England alone after graduating from a junior high school in China, and even boasted that he would go to world-class universities such as Cambridge and Oxford.

"Mike John, believe it or not, if I yell there are Everton players here, the Red fans will come and beat you."

Seeing that Zhang Mai lacked interest, Wen Xiaopang patted Zhang Mai on the shoulder and made a joke.

"Pang Wen, please remember from now on, my name is Zhang Mai!"

Zhang Mai stared at Wen Xiaopang's eyes and said seriously.

"From today onwards, this name will gradually spread throughout England, Europe and the whole world! You will be honored to have known me since childhood."

Wen Xiaopang was overwhelmed by Zhang Mai's serious look and his tone as if he was reading a letter of credence, and he stammered:

"Then I...then what do you want me to do?" Yes, what a striking little fat man!
"Get out your phone and help me time it."

Well, let me see what incredible results you can achieve!Although Wen Xiaopang was muttering, he still walked to the end of the runway.

"Get ready, get up!"... Click!

"Get ready, get up!" ………………………………………………… Click!

100 meters is nothing, 3000 meters is still a bit tiring, Zhang Mai is on the sidelines with his hands on his knees, panting.

"Such a poor result is far worse than the world record. I'm too embarrassed to say it. You can take a peek for yourself!"

With a dark face, Wen Xiaopang came over and threw the phone to Zhang Mai.

张迈打开手机一看：11秒20、11秒29、9分46秒。

手动计时有误差，自己百米的真实成绩应该是11秒40左右，芬奇农场U16的纪录才11秒6。

"Looking at your coquettish appearance just now, I thought you were going to break the world record when you switched to track and field!"

Wen Xiaopang retorted, and immediately added after thinking about it wrongly:
"This speed is enough to gain a foothold in the Premier League, but football is not a track game, it's just a matter of running fast!"

"I don't have the conditions to show the others for the time being." Zhang Mai looked at the empty track and field and spread his hands helplessly.

"Then...then you continue to make your voice heard all over the world, I'm going to watch the game."

Wen Xiaopang looked at the lively football field next to him, rolled his eyes and walked away.

Zhang Mai continued to practice fixed-point and jumping skills, and at the same time noticed a middle-aged white man on the sidelines observing him.

Soon Wen Xiaopang came over with a Chinese youth wearing a jersey, saying that the captain of the "Jiangnan Leather Team" had something to ask for.

The young compatriot captain invited Zhang Mai to represent the "Jiangnan Leather Team" against the All-British "Docker Team" in the port area.

When Zhang Mai heard the words "Jiangnan Leather", he almost screamed out of laughter, and felt that it was inappropriate and quickly agreed.

Wen Xiaopang and the youth captain's faces darkened, and they smiled when Zhang Mai agreed.

"Mike John!..."

"Call me Zhang Mai!"

"Mr. Zhang Mai, we know that youth training students are not allowed to participate in outside games without the club's permission, but this time the Jiangnan Leather Group office has been tossing with the wharf for a long time because of the problem of cargo loading and unloading. This time it is agreed to use football to speak. We all Huaban may not be able to do it, you have to help brother once!"

Wen Xiaopang still doesn't know that Zhang Mai was kicked out of Finch Farm.

"We are both Chinese, how can we not help our own people, please tell me your name?"

"Miangui's surname is Li, Brother Zhang Mai is really kind and righteous! It really won't affect your future in Everton."

"It should be. Compared with patriotism, Everton is nothing! Each other, hahahaha."

Zhang Mai put aside the greasy Wen Xiaopang and had a cordial conversation with the captain. Wen Xiaopang on the side felt that he had a lot of fish at the moment.

"Pang Wen, what does Jiangnan Leather have to do with you?" Zhang Mai finally turned around to talk to the broker.

"What's the relationship? Jiangnan Leather belongs to my family, and I'm the only child in the family!" The infinitely proud voice was mixed with anger.

"Oh, insider, can you tell me some inside information?" Zhang Mai's compliment made Wen Xiaopang regain the confidence of the second generation.

"There is nothing in the Jiangnan Group that I, Wen Xiaohai, don't know about! You have found the right person."

"I heard that your father and your aunt went on a trip and..."

"Roll rough!……"

The two were playing around and followed Captain Li to the football field, followed by a middle-aged white man.

"Zhang Mai, you play the forward center, what do you want to tell everyone?"

Captain Li called all the players together, assigned their respective positions, and finally asked for Zhang Mai's opinion.

I'm a good forward, but I should be called a "single strike forward". According to the formation you just made, I will have no friends in the frontcourt!

Zhang Mai glanced at the murderous white man across the way, and then looked back at the nervous faces of his thin compatriots, and couldn't help but make a loud joke:

"If you can play the famous BGM of '...Closed!', you will be awesome!"

The audience burst into laughter, the tension of the teammates was swept away, and even the dock guy on the opposite side was inexplicably surprised.

"It's not that enemies don't get together." As soon as Zhang Mai rushed to the opponent's backcourt, he saw Joan Joe Kenny who knocked him unconscious yesterday.

"Big bear, you are so shameless, the England U16 players are also here to play community football games!" Zhang Mai sprayed when they met.

"you you!"

It's not easy for Kenny to reply. He is not even a youth training player now, so he can do whatever he wants to do!

"F×××! I'm going to torture you to death today." Kenny, who was a defender, gritted his teeth at Zhang Mai.

Originally, Zhang Mai had no choice but to take Kenny, and his body and skills were completely crushed by the opponent. Now his skills have improved, hum!
Offense always has an advantage over defense. Zhang Mai is not at all afraid to single out Kenny, and leads his teammates to set off an offensive frenzy in the frontcourt. In the middle, left, and right, Zhang Mai walks around with Kenny who is staring at him. If you don't pay attention, you can catch the ball and get rid of it or use it as a fulcrum to make the ball.

Kenny is tired, and what's even more exasperating is that this Huaguo kid seems to have changed, smoother than the black forward in the team.

Finally, Zhang Mai, who once again wiped Kenny with his speed, was kicked down, and the "Jiangnan Leather Team" won a penalty.

Zhang Mai stepped on the ball with one foot, and raised three fingers towards Kenny who was furious outside the penalty area.

The whistle of "Qu" sounded, and the referee ran over to warn Zhang Mai not to deliberately provoke the opponent.

"Dear referee, I didn't provoke the opponent, I just told this England U16 defender that I will score three goals on him!"

The referee was stunned. There is a U16 master in the amateur game. You are so arrogant. You are the yellow-skinned boy Ronaldo!

1:0, "Jiangnan Leather Team" happily entered the intermission.

Amateur games in the community are different from professional leagues. The full game lasts 60 minutes and the half time lasts 30 minutes. There can be unlimited substitutions.

The "Dockers" had head and strength, but their tactics and techniques were messed up. They all swarmed to where the ball was. Kenny was expected to score a clean sheet, but Kenny even gave the opponent a penalty.

The team leader Hessen also approached the referee and complained that there were youth players mixed in.

The referee waved lightly, "Don't you know you have England U16 players?", and let Hesse hide his face and walk away.

For the next three to ten minutes, Kenny tried all means of dragging, hugging, bumping, pinching, etc., but did not stop Zhang Mai from fulfilling his promise.

The "Jiangnan Leather Team" finally defeated the "Dock Workers Team" 3:1.

The furious Kenny Bear wanted to make trouble, but was dragged away by the team leader Hesse, but he kept yelling "Let's do it again!".

"Let's do it again! TM will have another drink, I must have gone to the bar last night!"

Hessen wished he could punch this unlucky nephew unconscious...

Team Li and Zhang Mai made an appointment with the "Jiangnan Leather Team" to have dinner at Zhang's restaurant in the evening, and they dragged Wen Xiaopang to leave together.

Zhang Mai stayed on the side of the court where the crowd gradually dispersed, silently recalling his feelings on the court just now.

Football is more at your own command, passing, breaking, intercepting and tackling are much more efficient than before,
The vision on the field, my own judgment of the game situation, especially the handling of emergencies (shooting, rescue, one-to-many ball handling, etc.) all have increased confidence. I really reborn myself.

Zhang Mai has been beaten by the people of Finch Farm for more than a year, and now he enjoys the feeling of controlling the green field very much.

"Nice lad, scored three goals under the marking of England U16 defenders!"

A gentle baritone voice suddenly came from the ear.

Zhang Mai looked up and saw a middle-aged Caucasian man standing in front of him. He was bald with sideburns, his chin was clean-shaven, and he was wearing a dark sports coat.

"Sir, if I remember correctly, you should have followed me for a while, are you a scout?"

Zhang Mai stared intently at this unexpected visitor who looked exactly like Jason Statham.

"Yes, I noticed you on the track and field, and I watched the game just now. Let me introduce myself, my name is Robert Edwards, and I am currently the head coach of Tranmere Rovers."

The stalker readily admitted and extended his hand generously.

"I'm Zhang Mai, a student from the Everton youth training camp who was terminated early. Nice to meet you, Mr. Edwards."

Zhang Mai quickly grabbed Edwards' hand, shouting wildly in his heart that it was just right!

Close to home, lower leagues, desperate for reinforcements (I hear Tranmere is doing badly), I'm counting on your team for my taskbar to open.

"Early termination! Damn, when did Finch's farm have such high standards?"

Edwards does not believe that Everton's people will go wrong.

"Mr. Edwards, my performance in the youth academy was mediocre, and I offended Tom Davis. In addition to my skin color, Waldron has no reason to keep me." Zhang Mai confessed frankly.

Anyway, in the Liverpool football circle, there is no news that can be kept from people for a long time. Zhang Mai just hides the credit of the system a little bit.

Next, Edwards warmly invited Zhang Mai to settle in the Tranmere Youth Elite Center.

Young players can only sign professional contracts when they reach the age of [-], and Zhang Mai is still more than a month away.

Zhang Mai accepted Edwards' kind invitation, but asked to play in the second division.

"No problem, I'm the head coach, as long as you can convince me in the team training match, you can play!"

Edwards and Zhang Mai agreed to leave after contacting tomorrow.

Zhang Mai is also happy here. If he wants to fall asleep, someone will give him a pillow, which is so cool!
