greenfield legend

Chapter 1 Teenagers have dreams
"One, two...thirteen...ah!!!" Xiao Xiao bounced the ball cautiously, but in front of his awkward ball-handling movements, the football still flew away from his feet and fell into the distant flowers all at once.

Why!The young man stared blankly at the ball among the flowers, thinking absentmindedly, could it be that he is really not suitable for playing football?

In this football-crazed world, becoming a professional footballer is every child's dream.And Xiao Xiao, who has been in touch with football since he was seven years old, has seen those superstars running wildly on the field in the video, and he feels that he was born for football.can now.I am already 15 years old, and I can't even bounce a ball a few times. Thinking about it is enough to make people discouraged.

"It doesn't matter, just work harder... you can succeed if you work harder." Xiao Xiao suddenly clenched his fists tightly and waved vigorously towards the sky.Then he ran quickly towards the flowers, picked up the ball and continued to practice.

"Tsk tsk, what an energetic kid." In the center of the flowers was a large open space, and a stone tablet was built with jade-colored bricks, without any words on it.A dirty old man with a wine bottle took a few sips of wine violently, occasionally watching Xiao Xiao bouncing the ball, occasionally stroking the stone tablet, his eyes were slightly sad, and he muttered something softly in his mouth.

Seeing Xiao Xiao's clumsy performance again and again, the old man seemed unable to stand it and shouted to Xiao Xiao: "Xiao Xiao, come here."

"Ah...Grandpa, do you have something to do?" Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the ball and walked quickly towards the old man.

Xiao Xiao is not very familiar with the old man, but these years, he sneaked here to practice on the remote grass field, and occasionally bumped into the old man drinking among the flowers and muttering to himself.After coming and going, the two also had some simple conversations.

"It's been more than a year, why haven't you made any progress in your game?" The old man gulped down another gulp of wine, looking dissatisfied.He left the small town for more than a year due to business, and after returning soon, he found that the little guy's game skills were still the same, as bad as ever.

Xiao Xiao hugged the ball, grinned awkwardly, and said nothing.

"Have you participated in the academy's team selection this year?" the old man asked.

"Participated... but still not selected." Xiao Xiao smiled awkwardly again, and added: "But I will work hard, next time... I will definitely be selected next time."

The old man shook his head when he heard the words, but when he looked up and saw Xiao Xiao's firm and confident face, he secretly praised the little guy for his good mental quality and his toughness.I heard Xiao Xiao said that he didn't know if it was the eighth or ninth time he was not selected for the college football team.

"Do you really want to be a professional player?" the old man asked, changing the subject.

"En." Xiao Xiao nodded vigorously without thinking.

"But you don't have football talent, you know?" the old man looked at Xiao Xiao and said every word.

Xiao Xiao nodded slightly, his face flushed, but he quickly returned to the old man calmly: "I know, but I still want to try hard. I really can't play professional football until I'm 20, so I'll give up..." At the end, Xiao Xiao smiled embarrassedly and scratched his head.

"But real professional football training is very hard. It's not as simple as bouncing the ball a few times and running around the flowers with the ball a few times. Can you endure the hardship?" the old man continued to ask.

"En..." Xiao Xiao still nodded heavily, and didn't say anything else.But the old man still saw the boy clenched his fist vigorously, expressing his determination.

"Well, come here at six o'clock tomorrow morning, and the old man will teach you how to play football." The old man suddenly said something surprising.

"Ah... Grandpa, you can also play football?" Xiao Xiao had a look of disbelief, no matter how you look at this old man with a dirty and sloppy face, he doesn't look like a hidden expert.

"Stop talking nonsense, pull it down if you don't want to." The old man was very dissatisfied with Xiao Xiao's hesitation and suspicion, and he shook his fist vigorously at Xiao Xiao.

"No, no. I'm willing, I'm willing." Xiao Xiao quickly responded, but he was praying in his heart, hoping that the old man wasn't drunk and talking crazy to make fun of himself.

※※※

When I got home, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.Although it is summer, the sky is getting dark.

Xiao Xiao's family lived in an old-fashioned villa, of course not his family lived there, but lived with his uncle's family and his uncle and grandma.So Xiao Xiao is most afraid that people from a large family will gather for dinner, because at this time, the uncle and aunt who don't like his parents will always praise his cousin's outstanding football talent, and he was selected into the junior team of the academy team, and then stop and wait for other people in the family to praise his cousin. He will surely become a great football star.

Every time this happened, Xiao Xiao unconsciously lowered his head, and remained silent like a parent.But he felt a strong unwillingness in his heart, always thinking that one day he would be able to achieve something in football, and he would also let his parents talk about him proudly in front of his family and even neighbors, making them proud of his son.

"Ah Xiao, are you going to practice again...?" Xiao Xiaocai stepped into the villa compound, and found that her aunt suddenly appeared from nowhere, with a hypocritical and concerned expression on her face.

"En..." Xiao Xiao responded and quickened his pace.

"I heard that you went to participate in the qualification selection of the academy team again today, have you passed?" the aunt asked hotly.

"Ah..." Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, unexpectedly her aunt even knew this.

He raised his head and saw his cousin A Kai who was bouncing the ball behind his aunt and doing all kinds of fancy moves, and suddenly realized.It must be Akai who told his aunt, because Akai is not only studying in the same college as himself, but also a key training target for the college's football team.Knowing this news is an easy thing for Akai.

Seeing Xiao Xiao looking towards him, Akai, who is a cousin, glanced at Xiao Xiao and the ball in Xiao Xiao's hands with disdain, lifted the ball under his feet as if arrogantly, played a few fancy moves, and looked up at Xiao Xiao again.

Xiao Xiao suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and shook his head.

"Oh...it's okay, it's okay, just work harder next time." The aunt seemed relieved when she saw the expected ending, but immediately changed her regretful expression to comfort Xiao Xiao.

"En...thank you, auntie..." Xiao Xiao was a child after all, he hugged the ball tightly, responded quickly and left quickly.

"Hey, it's useless to practice without talent." The aunt squinted at Xiao Xiao who rushed into the room, then looked back at her son, and said with satisfaction: "I see, this guy Xiao Xiao will never compare to my family's Akai in his whole life."

※※※

"Mom and Dad, I'm back." Xiao Xiao pushed open the door and called into the room.

"Ah Xiao is back, hurry up and wash your hands. Look at your clothes are dirty." Xiao Xiao's father Xiao Dasheng put down the newspaper, looked at Xiao Xiao who was dirty again and shook his head helplessly.

"Ah Xiao is back?...How about today's team selection?" Xiao Yingying, the mother who learned of her son's return and had been waiting for news all day, rushed out of the kitchen and asked expectantly.

Xiao Xiao's smile froze, he didn't expect his mother to ask this question the first time.To be honest, repeated failures in the selection of the academy team made him not know what to say to his parents.

"Okay, okay, my son just came back, why are you asking so many questions... Hurry up and cook." Xiao Dasheng saw Xiao Xiao's reaction, and he could guess the result.A trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, and changed the subject to let Xiao Ma cook.

Mama Xiao turned to Xiao Dasheng, who kept winking at her in vain, and turned to cook.But no one could see the disappointed expression on her face after she turned around.

Seeing Xiao Xiao still holding the football at the door, Xiao Dasheng coughed softly: "What is Xiao Xiao still doing? Come over here, let's have a bowl of old chicken soup with mushrooms cooked by your mother."

"Dad, I failed again this time..." Xiao Xiao said the result with difficulty.

"Hmm... It's okay, if it doesn't work this time, it's next time, if it doesn't work next time, it's next time... Don't be discouraged, Dad is optimistic about you." Xiao Dasheng patted his son on the shoulder: "In any case, you have to believe in yourself. Even if you can't, you have to work hard yourself."

"En..." Xiao Xiao bit the bowl and took a sip of the chicken soup, feeling warm in his heart.I can definitely do it, and I can definitely become a professional player.Old man, don't lie to me... hey!The old man really won't lie to me, will he? …

With extreme doubts, Xiao Xiao was sleepless all night, full of preoccupations.

※※※

"Yes, quite on time." The old man looked at Xiao Xiao who was listless and had two dark circles under his eyes, and asked jokingly, "Did you get too excited last night to sleep?"

Really wanted to pooh the old man's face drooling, Xiao Xiao squinted his eyes and looked the old man up and down again, nothing had changed, he was still so dirty, his expectations plummeted.

"Okay, my surname is changed to Dongfang, and you will call me Master Dongfang from now on." The old man suddenly said solemnly to Xiao Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, if you want to worship me as your teacher, you must promise me not to pass on what I have taught you to others, otherwise...hehe...the teacher will be very angry, and the consequences will be very serious."

Wow!Xiao Xiao looked at the old man whose demeanor had changed suddenly, and his heart immediately brightened up a bit.From this look, Grandpa Dongfang is still a bit superior.

"Okay...Old Grandpa Dongfang..." Xiao Xiao bowed respectfully and said, "I will never pass on what Grandpa taught me to others, otherwise...well...the sky will be struck by lightning, and I will die..." After finishing speaking, Xiao Xiao was very satisfied with his answer, and all the apprentices and apprentices seen in the video said so.

"Bah, it's Master Dongfang. What old man, I'm only around fifty this year." The old Dongfang rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction.

"Oh... Dongfang... Master Dongfang..."

"Hey, forget it...Come here, I'll take a look at your muscles..." The old man Dongfang motioned Xiao Xiao to come over, stretched out his hands and pressed Xiao Xiao's shoulders, waist and legs up and down.

For a moment, the old man Dongfang nodded, shaking his head like a magic stick: "Xiao Xiao, your aptitude is mediocre, your hands and feet are not flexible enough, your body coordination is poor, and..."

Seeing Xiao Xiao's face that he was about to cry, the old Dongfang quickly patted Xiao Xiao on the shoulder comfortingly: "Ahem, apprentice, don't be afraid, there is a teacher here, and I guarantee that you will become a new generation of legends in the green football world in the future. Look..."

A new legend in the greenery?Xiao Xiao was shocked, he looked up at this cheap master, and then froze again.

The old Dongfang took out a yellowed picture album from nowhere, on which were written four large characters in traditional characters: Eight Meridians True Art! ! !

God, which show is this on? ? ? ?

　Some people say they want eunuchs, but after thinking about it, they are still reluctant. If you have a good title, you should work hard to write it down.
