In the car, Li Ming also frankly explained to Torres why the Barcelona team, no, the Dutch team, came to him.

Torres was indifferent: "You grew up in the Netherlands, so it's reasonable for you to play for them, but if you are selected for their national team one day, I can't take you to the training camp in Spain."

Li Ming nodded silently, a trace of regret surged in his heart.

Back in the dormitory, Bernawi, Gil and Regalon were still staying up late waiting for him. The three roommates warmly celebrated Li Ming's outstanding performance tonight. Bernawi also changed from doubt and jealousy to full support and admiration now.

After the start of the new season, Regalon had difficulty finding a chance to play in the U18 team, but he was interested in Li Ming talking about Ronaldinho's technical characteristics. He said excitedly: "He doesn't look that strong, but he can actually fight Pablo and Perea from our first team. It's really incredible!"

Everyone said that Ronaldinho is actually a devilish muscular man, but the Barcelona jersey is too big and you can't see it. Regallon asked about Messi again. They were all the same age, and he really didn't understand why there was such a big gap.

Li Ming smiled and said, "What's the difference? There are so many late bloomers! As long as you really like football, it's normal to be strong without desire."

The other three thought Li Ming was becoming more and more literary, but they all knew in their hearts that the trajectory of fate would quickly separate everyone who was still in the same dormitory!

Li Ming earned 5 skill points against Barcelona that night, and the communication with Cruyff, Van Basten and Messi earned him 10 skill points. Earning 15 points in one night is really enough to make people laugh! Sleeping in the dormitory at night, I dreamed of the thrilling battle with Barcelona. In the dream, I saw Messi pass four or five Atletico players in a row. When he was about to score, I stretched my body and legs to block it. I didn't see whether the ball went in or not. Suddenly, I felt pain in both calves. The unbearable pain went straight into my heart. Li Ming also woke up. It turned out that he had cramps!

Li Ming sat at the head of the bed and panted. Looking at the time, it was already 9:30 in the morning, and his roommates had already got up early to participate in the team training. Now Atletico B team is in the West Second Division B League. Everyone is fighting hard to get into the second division, so that young players will have more exposure. However, the competition in the lower leagues is huge, and the B team has stagnated for several years.

Li Ming slowly got out of bed. His cramped legs were still weak, but when he looked closely, he found that the muscles on his calves were obviously bigger! Li Ming reached out to touch it and was shocked. Is this strong calf still his?

This is the voice of the queen system in his mind: "Hello, as your physical attributes change, your appearance and physique will also change to a certain extent. What's your expression? You don't believe what this system says? Go to the training ground and try it yourself! Humph, goodbye!"

Before Li Ming had time to refute, he was already confused. Fortunately, there was no training scheduled for the morning of the second day after the game. Li Ming had plenty of time to wash up and eat some bread downstairs in the dormitory as breakfast. After leaving the dormitory building, he jogged to the training ground and saw coach Ortega waving to him from a distance. Li Ming walked forward, held Ortega, and asked: "Boss, are you busy now? Can you help me measure my physical data?"

Ortega: "Don't worry, come with me to the office to see something first!"

Li Ming didn't know what treasure Ortega had hidden again, and happily came to the office outside the training ground. Ortega pointed to the two newspapers on the table and smiled: "You are still young, you have learned the ropes, right?"

Li Ming was panicked and picked up a newspaper. It was the "Iberia Sports Daily". On the second page, there was a headline printed on it: "Cruyff personally invites young goalkeepers to join the Dutch national team!"

Li Ming looked carefully again, and his happy look of eating hot pot and Cruyff's confident expression were all in the same photo. Li Ming shouted, "It's obvious that this was taken by one of their own people!"

Ortega patted Li Ming on the shoulder and praised, "No matter what, I believe Cruyff's vision is not wrong, and it proves that our Atletico Madrid's top scout Pantic has a first-class vision in choosing you!"

Li Ming blushed, "Boss, you are taking care of me, otherwise I would have packed up and returned home long ago!"

Ortega took out another newspaper, but it was the Spanish Sports Daily. The bottom edge of the front page was printed with "Dutch stars come together to support, Atletico Madrid goalkeeper will serve the country", and the text was exaggerated. One paragraph read:

"Li Ming is also getting closer to obtaining Spanish nationality. At this time point, the history of Dutch football isCruyff came forward to invite Li Ming. It is reported that when the Dutch national team members received Li Ming, they only served tea and water. This undoubtedly reflects the Netherlands' high attention to the young Atletico goalkeeper. Li Ming is now also a hot star in La Liga. He has started three times in the league and only conceded one goal. In the last game against Barcelona, ​​Li Ming performed bravely throughout the game and repeatedly resolved the attacks of superstars such as Ronaldinho. On the other hand, the Netherlands' desire for this young goalkeeper also deeply reflects the current lack of talent reserves in the Netherlands in the goalkeeper position. Unlike us in Spain, in addition to Casillas and Reina, there are many goalkeepers of national team level who are working hard to compete for the position of the third goalkeeper of the national team..."

Li Ming shook his head and talked for a long time. It turned out that he was trying to promote the fact that there are many good goalkeepers in Spain. Of course, it is also the actual situation.

Li Ming thought about how he was in the newspaper and felt a little embarrassed.

Ortega said beside him: "The boss's use of public opinion is a top-notch method. On the one hand, it is equivalent to a semi-official announcement that you will play for the Dutch team. On the other hand, it also cuts off the Spanish Football Association's thoughts. Of course, Spain does have many goalkeepers, and it is estimated that they will not recruit you..."

Li Ming only remembered at this time that Cruyff's "using his methods to promote this matter" originally referred to the use of the media!

Li Ming thought: Cruyff's heart is like a needle in the sea!

Ortega patted Li Ming on the shoulder again: "Boy, I support you! After all, playing for the national team is a long-term goal for professional players. If you can be selected for the Dutch national team at the age of 18, you will have many opportunities to succeed in the future! "

Li Ming nodded: "Then can you help me measure my physical data now? I feel that my muscles have become much stronger recently!"

Ortega smiled and said: "Okay! No problem, come to the training ground, we will help you measure it." After that, he looked around Li Ming and murmured: "Well developed!"

Back to the training ground, after a test, everyone exclaimed that Li Ming's 100-meter running speed actually reached 10.8 seconds! And there was a bit of headwind today. Ortega muttered in his heart: "This is faster than the forwards. You know, the fastest Petrov in the team only runs 10.7 seconds for 100 meters, and Torres' speed of 10.9 seconds is also impressive among forwards! "

Ortega pulled out the speed data of the players he knew and called Li Ming over: "Come and take a look, Inter Milan's Obafemi Martins's 100-meter speed is 10.5 seconds, you are not much behind him!"

Li Ming thought that his speed had reached the maximum level of 20 points. It was estimated that there was a range for each point in the scoring system. Besides, when he was running, he felt a little bit against the wind, so he was quite satisfied with his current speed.

Li Ming measured his jumping ability again. He reached 3.1 meters in the standing position and 3.3 meters in the running-up. It was basically worthy of the jumping ability of 14 points. Among young goalkeepers, this jumping ability is already quite good. Li Ming thought that he would increase his jumping ability in the next stage and simply become a jumping freak. , scare the forwards on the field to death!

After a test, Ortega just exclaimed that Li Ming was a god, and even suspected that Li Ming had been eating some hormone food recently, otherwise how could his physical fitness improve so much...

Li Ming was satisfied, after all, the improvement brought by skill points was visible to the naked eye. Now he has reached the full value of 20 points in reaction, one-on-one, and speed, plus his decent jumping and decisiveness, just like a demon-level young goalkeeper. Now he can't wait to wait for the next league.
