Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 1 The Lost Emperor

In the winter morning, the sky was gray and gray, and the dawn was relatively late, and people who just wanted the cat to be under the covers also got up relatively late.But there are exceptions to everything. For example, those sanitation cleaners often have already messed up the sanitation when people officially get up for activities.

Pushang Village, an ordinary village in the Chaoshan area, has more than 2 people.Rows of houses and criss-cross lanes are like a huge spider web, and people are like little spiders in the web.

However, no matter how small the spider is, it will also produce garbage, so hygiene is not easy to do.The narrow alleyways of about two meters and sometimes with slopes are not suitable for the entry of various types of vehicles, so basically sanitary waste can only be pulled by human-powered carts, which is very challenging.

In an alley, there is an iron cart that is more than two meters long and one meter wide. The garbage on the cart is full of garbage, which is two meters high and looks like a hill. The weight can be seen.The man pulling the cart is a young man in his 20s, with a pull belt on his shoulders, and tightly holding the two handle iron pipes of the garbage truck with both hands, bending slightly forward and leaning forward, looking like pulling a plow The cow is about the same.

He clenched his hands tightly, kicked his feet hard on the ground, and vigorously pulled the garbage truck up a slope almost one meter high.He let out a long breath, looked to the left and right, and saw a similar slope 20 meters away. He no longer remembered how many such slopes he had pulled his cart on.

His name is Yan Feng. As you can see, he is a cleaner, a very young cleaner.He has long been accustomed to all this. Anyone who has been doing this for seven or eight years and goes up and down dozens of slopes every day will not feel it.

Yan Feng is 24 years old this year. Many people can't understand that a young man like him came to work as a cleaner to deal with garbage.But he doesn't care about other people's opinions, he only lives according to his own wishes.He is an orphan who was picked up by the cleaner Lao Yan from the garbage dump.Lao Yan had no wife, no children, no relatives, so he raised him as if he was his own.Lao Yan died of illness seven or eight years ago. Yan Feng, who just graduated from junior high school, simply took over Lao Yan's stick and became a cleaner because of the pressure of life.

The sky was gradually getting brighter, and some pedestrians who rushed to the morning market to buy vegetables began to appear on the road.Yan Feng pulled the car unhurriedly to the river bank on the edge of the village.This is a dirt road, and it is not easy to walk with potholes.This section of road is connected to the fields on the bank of the river, and has not been built into a concrete road.Just walk another kilometer and turn over the small bridge to the garbage dump next to the cemetery.Yan Feng tightened the straps on his shoulders. This is the last load of garbage, and we can call it a day after finishing it.Thinking of this, Yan Feng couldn't help using his strength to speed up his pace.

Not long after, Yan Feng pulled the car across the small bridge, and was about to reach the garbage dump, when suddenly a person rushed out from the nearby bushes.Yan Feng's hands trembled, the garbage truck tilted backwards, and a lot of garbage was scattered all over the ground.

"who?"

"Little brother, don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person."

As long as it is human, Yan Feng patted his chest and let out a breath.

He carefully observed the person who appeared out of nowhere.A pair of black trousers with a nice crocodile belt, and a white shirt looks very shapely, although there are patches of dust and mud on it.A face full of sunshine, no matter how much dirt is on it, it can't hide his handsomeness. With a height of more than 1.8 meters and a figure comparable to a model, coupled with melancholy eyes, the whole person looks a little downcast but still handsome and tangible.Why are you so familiar?Could it be ``````
"The Great Emperor? You are the Great Emperor?! The Great Emperor at dawn???" A figure flashed in Yan Feng's mind, and his voice became a little trembling.

"It's me!" The emperor looked around and said with a wry smile. "It is indeed dawn now."

"It's really you?! I finally saw the real person of the Great Emperor. I'm so excited to see you.`````` But, Great Emperor, why are you so downcast!?" Yan Feng couldn't help looking up and down The emperor said with a glance.

"Hey, it's a long story! ``````"

It turned out that the 14 Chinese League One was finally over, and the Shenzhen team, which had been owed wages for a long time, finally gritted its teeth at the last moment and survived, and the team successfully relegated.However, although the team succeeded in relegation, the players who suffered from wage arrears still have to eat.In the case of fruitless negotiations, many main players and potential players who could play in the game left the team freely.The remaining young players who couldn't play in the game are still hesitating.If the team's funds still cannot be resolved, let alone the competition next year, we don't know if we can get enough people to sign up.Although it has been rumored that a giant similar to Evergrande will take over the team, but there is only thunder but no rain.

Thinking about the situation of the team really made the emperor feel miserable. Although he hasn't received a salary for several months, he thinks more about making the team continue to exist.

In an accidental opportunity, I heard from a friend that the boss of a group in the Chaoshan area is a diehard Shenzhen team, has always liked the Shenzhen team, and has the intention of advertising in the Shenzhen team.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, the Great Emperor is like a drowning man grasping at the last straw, and he must try it no matter what.After learning about the situation of this group, and talking to the general manager Li Hong, the emperor took the bus to the east of Guangdong overnight.

Unexpectedly, since the emperor came to the eastern part of Guangdong for the first time, he took an illegally operated black car in the middle of the night, and was robbed of all his money in a remote place.

After learning about what happened to the emperor, Yan Feng deeply sympathized with it.Although the law and order in this area is good, no matter how good the place is, it is inevitable that some people will be attracted to Cai.It is better not to ride illegally operated black cars, especially in the middle of the night.Safety first, you still have to take a regular taxi.

Yan Feng brought the emperor to his home.The layout of Yan Feng's home is very simple, and the tired Emperor didn't have the energy to look carefully.

"My lord, the house over there is a bathroom, you go and wash it first, and I'll get some food."

"Little brother, thank you. Then I'll go wash it first." Looking at his dirty body, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, and the emperor was not polite.

Yan Feng watched the emperor go into the bathroom, and rode his electric scooter to the market.

Soon, the emperor rinsed and changed into clean clothes.When I came to the living room and sat on the sofa, I immediately felt lazy and stretched comfortably.It's different after taking a bath, I feel extremely relaxed, and at the same time sleepiness also strikes.

When the emperor opened his eyes again, he found himself sleeping in a very simple room.Apart from a simple desk and chair, there is only a bed left.Pushing open the door, the emperor walked out, just in time to see Yan Feng sitting in the living room watching TV.

"Emperor, are you awake? Did you sleep well?" Seeing the Emperor coming out, Yan Feng stood up and said with a smile.

"Well, sleep well, thank you, little brother. You got me to sleep in the room, right?"

"Well, when I came back from buying breakfast, I saw you fell asleep on the sofa, so I took you to the room to sleep. By the way, it's already noon now, you must be hungry? Wait for me, I'll go Get something to eat."

"Thank you, I'm really hungry." When the emperor heard this, he immediately heard his stomach protesting, and he, who was always forthright, was not polite.

Watching Yan Feng go out, the emperor came back to his senses and began to observe his surroundings.He was really tired before, and after the robbery, he didn't have the energy to pay attention to everything about the house.

This is a hall with a large wooden door in the middle, facing the yard and the outer gate.There is a door on each side of the hall leading to the bedroom.On the top of the hall is an old-style tiled roof erected by beams. The pyramid-shaped sides are low and the middle is high.It looks layered and has a unique aesthetic feeling, unlike the flat and pale roofs of buildings in the city.

There is a simple gray cloth sofa on the left side of the hall, and a glass table in front of the sofa. There is a coffee table and an induction cooker on the table. It can be seen that this house is a tea-loving owner.There is an LCD TV on the wall facing the sofa, and the news is playing on it. The performance of the TV is good and the picture is clear.

On the right side of the hall is a computer desk and a desktop computer on it, and beside it is a wooden shelf similar to a shoe rack.The emperor saw a pair of football shoes and a football on the shelf, so he walked over.

The emperor picked up the football, which was a black and white football, the most primitive style, and the quality was average, incomparable with professional balls.The football is worn out, very frayed around the seams, but the whole ball is very clean and doesn't even take up dust.The pair of shoes are also worn out but very clean. It can be seen that the owner has used them often but cared for them very much.Although these two are very shabby, there is no football poster or the like around.But the emperor was very sure that this master was a real football lover.The emperor couldn't help thinking of himself``````
"Emperor, it's ready, follow me to the kitchen to eat." Not allowing the Emperor to think too much, Yan Feng will make something delicious soon.

"Ok, thanks."

The emperor followed Yan Feng to the kitchen. The dishes were quite rich, with a combination of meat and vegetables, fish and vegetable soup, and the emperor moved his index finger.

"So many dishes, thank you so much."

"It's nothing. Some of them are cooked dishes I bought. I made some myself. I don't know if it suits your taste?"

The very hungry emperor began to eat unceremoniously.The emperor can adapt to all kinds of local dishes, and this dish is really delicious. "Delicious, your craftsmanship is good, and those cooked dishes are also very good."

"Then eat more."

Yan Feng hadn't eaten at noon yet, so he soon joined the ranks of eating.After that, the two chatted while eating.

"You like football very much! I saw the football and sneakers inside."

"Yeah, I've liked it since I was a child, you are my idol, Great Emperor."

"Oh! I didn't expect you to be my fan? I've been retired for many years! Haha, it's fate that you and I meet here today, just call me brother. By the way, I don't know your name yet."

"Then I'll call you Brother Yi. My name is Yan Feng. You can call me Xiaofeng or Fengzi."

"Yan Feng, the name is good." "Can you tell me about the football here? This is my first time here in Chaoshan and I want to know more about it."

If it wasn't the first time, and it came in such a hurry, it wouldn't have happened to be robbed.Thinking of this incident, the emperor didn't know whether it was bad luck or luck. Nowadays, there are frequent incidents of female college students disappearing in black cars.Maybe the driver of the black car is not as good as Long Yang, so let him escape.

"Football here? There is no football here anymore." Yan Feng couldn't help but feel a little melancholy when talking about football.

"No way? I think your balls and shoes should be used frequently!"

"There was football here ten years ago, but it is gone now."

"The first time I came into contact with football was in [-], when I was in the second grade of elementary school. I was deeply fascinated by this men's sport."

"The place to play football is in the school. Our school is a nine-year school. There is a grass playground for each of the primary and junior high schools. After school, it is full of people playing football, and it is often overcrowded. There is not enough playgrounds, and there is also a concrete floor in front of the auditorium in the middle." Can kick."

"At that time, the school was full of people playing football. Two teams were playing on the field, and several teams were waiting on the sidelines. The team that scored a goal had to leave the field and replace it with another team, every 15 minutes. And they often organized themselves. Leagues, other schools, other villages, there are often more than a dozen teams participating. It was a crazy era for football, and I am also a football crazy person."

"At that time, I played football with a good friend who was a few years older than me. I stepped on the ball to go to class at school, and played until dark after school. When it was dark, everyone dispersed, and we ran around the playground with the ball. Go to the school gate, where there is a light, and practice shooting against the gate. I don’t go home until [-] o’clock in the evening every day. When I get home, I think about how to pass people, then draw it, and practice how to use it the next day. At that time, my father said I was obsessed, but that was my happiest time."

"Then why do you say that there is no football now?" The emperor of the era also felt the same way. If he didn't love football, he would not take the road of professional football.

"Hey~~~ Later, the grass in the playground became a gravel field, so kick it; later, the construction of the teaching building changed the playground from 70 meters to 50 meters, and kicked it; and later, because the glass windows were often shot, the school did not allow it to be kicked. It doesn't matter, there are unfinished construction sites, and the fields that have just been harvested. As long as you can play football, it doesn't matter what kind of venue it is!"

"It's a pity that there are not many people playing football now. If you want to join the two teams to play a game, you can't get enough people. In addition, Chinese football has been really hard to do in these years, and many people have gone to play basketball. I am more concerned now. The most sport is to play basketball. Soccer, that was my dream, and now I think of it as if it was yesterday``````"

While talking, Yan Feng couldn't continue.

Why!This is a reality, very helpless, just as helpless as Chinese football can't play all the time.The emperor didn't know what to say, Chinese football had already fallen to this point, otherwise he wouldn't have come here.The emperor doesn't even know if his team will still be there tomorrow?Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, I don't know when his team will announce its dissolution and withdraw from Chinese football.Now the Great Emperor probably only has unwillingness and unbearable heart
