Ball King Pioneer

Chapter 1
The pattering rain slapped the glass, making it impossible to see clearly from the inside. There was a thin layer of water vapor inside the glass, and no one could see anyone's face inside or outside.

The dark clouds outside accompanied the low thunder in the distance, making everything even more depressing.

No one wants to see this kind of situation. The partner who has been with you for 6 years suddenly tells you that only 18 of you can have a contract today, and the rest have to find their own way or look forward to a miracle.

He is tall, with a square face, and his hair is pitch-black at first glance, but when he looks closely, he finds that the roots of his hair are gray. He is obviously not young. He wears brown glasses on the bridge of his nose, and stands in front of the glass window like a javelin.

The half of the cigarette ash in his hand stubbornly did not fall off, which seemed to prove that the man had maintained this posture for a while.

"If what they do is really useful, can I just watch and not show up?" The man finally spoke with a slightly vicissitudes of mouth.

"Director Xu, they all say that the trapped beast is still fighting, this is the last effort these children can make, what else can they do.

There is nothing we can do in a hurry!

From the first day they came, they knew how difficult this road is. The little people in the big environment are talking about them and us.

The age has come, and no one is reconciled to leaving.I know you feel uncomfortable, but this is not once or twice, you can rest, there will be a farewell party tonight and you must attend. "

A middle-aged man in his 40s walked over with an ashtray in his hand.He is the old man's assistant!
Who is the old man?Anyone who pays attention to Chinese football will be familiar with him. He is the godfather of football in Shanghai, one of the important guides for the professionalization of Chinese football, and the champion coach --- Xu Genbao!
This is his football talent training base, Shanghai Chongming Island.

Today is a big day for the base. Many teams from the Chinese Football Super League and the Chinese Football League A came here to select talents.

Some clubs need to enrich their echelons and will choose some young players with potential. This is relatively rare. After all, Director Xu is not willing to let such players go, and most of the young players are local in Shanghai. In this case, parents are generally unwilling to rest assured. The most important thing is that they are too young to sign professional contracts.

There are also some teams that need some young players who can play or serve as substitutes. For example, the Shanghai East Asia Football Club, which has just been promoted to the Chinese League, is located in Shanghai and has a lot of cooperation with Director Xu, so it is more willing to choose local young players.

But in the end, the number of players selected by many clubs was only 18, which has satisfied Director Xu.

Someone gets selected and someone loses.

Just after New Year's Day, the temperature on the island is low. Coupled with the strong wind and light rain today, accompanied by the rare winter thunder, the temperature of 4-8 degrees makes people shiver.

On the training ground, the goalkeeper kicked the ball with a big kick, a tall red vest leaped high, and collided with the same tall red vest in the air.

Looking up, the nearest defensive player in front is about 10 meters in front of the left, and can choose to dribble forward.Toe poke, speed up, the right foot is straight, the football is accelerated first, adjust the pace, the body moves to the left rear of the football about 1 meter, and can block the defensive player's line in front of the left at any time.

The football is slowing down, the red vest is slowing down, and the rushing defensive yellow vest also lowers its center of gravity, preparing to force the red vest to stop 2 meters in front, waiting for teammates to assist in the defense. It is unwise for the central defender to attack rashly. A successful assist defense is always more reassuring to the coach than a single successful attack.The red vest with the ball saw someone coming. This is a brother who is familiar with him in a dormitory and wears a pair of pants. By the way, he has even borrowed his underwear. Can he not be familiar with him?

This kid will go up and grab, he will definitely do it, and now the deceleration and lowering of the center of gravity are just to confuse me.

As soon as he finished thinking about it, the yellow vest brother on the opposite side suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the football like a hungry tiger.As a midfielder, you have to be able to run, and you have to run fast when attacking.When defending, you have to be able to press the ball first.

As a frontcourt player, you have to have excellent physical fitness, unless you are Inzaghi.However, for this last possible opportunity, I have been running for almost 2 hours.The whole game plus overtime is only 2 hours, but this game does not have such a long intermission.

The physical decline was serious, the legs became weak, and then the movement was slow and deformed. I planned to pull and buckle and accelerate again, but the ball was pulled back, my feet were slow, and I couldn't hit the ball. My two feet bumped together, and the knees of the two people hit each other head-on!
This kind of collision will not hurt, but it will hurt, the pain of the heart.The pain caused the two of them to fall to the ground almost at the same time, the jerseys were stained with muddy water, and the two childish faces were covered with filthy scum.

Beep whistle sounded!The assistant coach who played the guest referee was panting heavily, his mouth was so dry!These children lived with him for several years, some of them were brought to the base by him himself, and he was really teaching them as his sons.

It was just to let the officials who came to select them take a closer look at these unselected children, hoping that they would find the lost pearls, and finally there was this unnamed game with no time limit.

I don't know how long it will be until the end, and I don't remember the score. In short, all he can do is let the children fight again. He is very clear about what it means to them. Maybe this game will be the last time for some of them to play in their lives.

"Xiaoyi, I can't run anymore. Is it useful for us to run like this? Those leaders are probably eating and drinking after they have selected people. We have worked so hard to show them that we are also very good, but is it really useful?
Xiaoyi, my father said that this time he was not selected and went back to his hometown. The family has an orangery of 200 mu.

I guess it's just a few days.Anyway, don't forget me, keep in touch! "

Panting while talking, the two good brothers just lay there, neither of them got up, and they had no strength.

Seeing that the two guys with the best physical strength on the field were tired and lay down, everyone stopped, and then they all lay down.If it is normal, the coach will definitely urge everyone to stand up and go back indoors, but let them go today.

"I'm not reconciled!"

I don't know who choked up and roared out.There was a deathly silence on the field, only the cold rain beating the young heart, and then tears were brought out through the emotional explosion deep in the heart.

But who can laugh at the tears of youth?
They also worked hard, even harder than those who were selected, but at the age of 89, which is not embarrassing or embarrassing, it is unrealistic to stay. There will be young players coming soon, and the base resources are limited, so they can only "graduate".

If it is not selected, it basically means that this road has come to an end.If it is a football developed country, they have multiple echelons of different age groups, there are transfers between echelons between clubs, there are several amateur leagues, and there are 3 to 4 levels of professional leagues.

So their young players have long enough to enjoy football, and maybe some late bloomers enter the professional league after the age of 25 and eventually become famous.Of course, there are many players who deliver food, work as doctors, sell insurance, and then participate in international A-level competitions. This is a complete football talent training system or league system.

In China, these are far from up to standard!Therefore, domestic fans always say that the joke that China's 13 billion people can't choose 11 who can play football is not correct.You have to look at the size of the football population and how many players are registered with the Football Association. There are few, really few!

"You are all good, don't be ashamed. You will be an outstanding person even if you don't play football, I am sure of this. Now go back to the dormitory, take a good shower, don't catch a cold. Lin Yi, are you and Li Xiaofeng all right? Get up when you are fine, the ground is cold."

"I'm fine, coach, I just want to lie down and get closer to this piece of turf!"

The boy named Ji Dong gasped and answered the coach respectfully.The coach went back to the room, Zhao Sanhu got up and went back to the dormitory.Song Biscuit also went to take a shower and left the court one by one.

When the best brother Li Xiaofeng got up and squatted down, patted Ji Dong's chest, and left, he was the only one in the whole stadium.

Ji Dong is unwilling to accept this result at this time, not because he is unwilling, he has not encountered unfair treatment, and the brother who was elected to the same position as him is, in all fairness, better than him, at least for now, it is the right choice for others to choose him.

He was full of reluctance and confusion.The image of Chinese football has never been good, and various negative reports emerge in endlessly.As an insider, Ji Dong doesn't know how true these reports are, but as a member of this base, he can say responsibly that everything here is fine.

There are no bullies who give red envelopes as the main force, there are no bullies who bully rookies, and there are no unscrupulous coaches. This place is like a big family.He has been here for 12 years since he was brought here by the coach from the junior school team when he was 6 years old.

Almost all of them are of the same age and have the same hobbies. The culture class is the same as the school, and the English class is more important than the school. It can be said that it is not much different from the school.This place with the best memories of 6 years, his childhood and teenagers, witnessed his growth.

But now, it seems like it's time to leave!I'm so sorry!

Also, how should I face my parents?

Many children in the base are from Shanghai, but Lin Yi is not. He was born in Copper City, JX Province, a small industrial county town that relies on the development of the copper industry.His parents are authentic farmers. When Lin Yi was ten years old, he brought Lin Yi and his sister to Shanghai to work. Because his father knew a little carpentry, he worked in a medium-sized furniture factory, and his mother also did packaging work in that factory. The combined monthly salary of 6000 was considered high among fellow villagers who came together.

Children from the countryside fell in love with this black and white elf when they first came into contact with football, and he seems to be very talented in this area.As a transfer student, he first came into contact with football in the fifth grade, and was recommended to the school team by the physical education teacher two months later.

Then in the 6th grade, he was able to participate in the SH City Primary School Football League as the main force of the school team. When he was in junior high school, Lin Yi was discovered by professional scouts when he participated in the junior high school student league.

He still clearly remembers that the coach went to the rental house of less than 20 square meters and talked with his father for 3 hours. Finally, his father agreed to let him go to Chongming Island, and he later learned that this meant that his father had to work overtime every day until 11 o'clock in the evening.The father did this because he saw in his son's eyes that he really liked football and the running for it.

My father also has his own ambitions. I used to farm, but now I work part-time. Will my son's path be different, will it be more exciting than mine?I don't know, but since there is a chance to be more gorgeous, why not?Ji Dong didn't know about this, but he knew a little bit. When he went back, his father would not say anything.But this hurt Ji Dong more than being beaten by his father.

Could it be that this is life!
Fate, who can decide whose fate?
God decides my life?
　I have wanted to write something about football for a long time. This time I made up my mind to write this novel, hoping to find fans who still support Chinese football.
