Ender's Football

Facts have proved that games are really the best way to draw in the friendship between boys.Especially for a group of football academy students, what better video game than a soccer game?

Therefore, when Ender finished this round of competition, he also successfully learned the names of every boy present.

The boy who first came out of the dormitory and approached Ender was named Lynch. He was a local—strictly speaking, he should be from Dresden, the capital of Saxony where Leipzig is located.However, the two cities of Leipzig and Dresden are not far apart, and they are both in Saxony, so in the eyes of the boys who came from the north and south these days, Lynch knows this place best.

During the conversation, Ander learned that Lynch is one of the Leipzig Red Bull U16 players, and he will probably be his teammates in the future. His two friends are in the higher-level U17 team and can already start. Playing in the Northern League.

——As mentioned earlier, at the U15 level and below, the youth training teams of each club can only participate in regional leagues.For example, when Ander was Uwensburg U15, he participated in the Baden-Württemberg Youth League.But after young players are promoted to U16 and U17, the whole of Germany will be divided into three divisions: North, West and South. The opponents of each youth team will no longer be limited to their own regions.Still using Uwensburg U17 as an example, their league opponents are the entire youth team participating in the southern division, which will include well-known echelons like Stuttgart, Hoffenheim, and Frankfurt. Of course, the youth team of Bayern Munich Participated in the Southern Regional League, so Sighard has also galloped in the southern arena.

For Leipzig Red Bull, because the city is located in northern Germany, they participate in the northern league. There are also strong youth teams here, such as Werder Bremen, Hamburg, Wolfsburg and so on.

As an intruder, Red Bull is ambitious. In addition to building a team that can enter the Bundesliga and even aim for the Bundesliga championship, they have also made long-term plans for the youth training echelon.Albeck directly stated to Ender that the goal of the Red Bull Youth Training Center is not only to win the northern league championship, but also to provide talents for the first team. Such a prospect will undoubtedly attract these boys in the north who are full of football dreams Together with Red Bull's strong economic strength, the entire youth training center gradually began to welcome young talents from all over the world.

For example, Sieghard, who was once the captain of the German youth team, was sitting next to Ender.

When everyone can only stand outside the stadium and look enviously at the players who are running on the stadium and have tens of thousands of fans cheering for them, Sieghard is already one step ahead of all of them.He's played for the best team in Germany, he's had face-to-face communication with one of the world's most prestigious managers, he's seen superstars who were out of reach for the boys, and maybe even shared a training ground with them, He is the favorite of the head coach of the national team. When everyone is still unknown, his name has appeared on the news and is well known by local fans.

However, Sieghard, who was just like this, fell quickly in one day, fell from the clouds into the ordinary world, and became an ordinary young player.

He voluntarily left Bayern Munich, left the spotlight, lost many moments of halo, and came to an extremely brand-new team with an uncertain future.

When Ender and Lynch chatted with each other, he frequently observed Sigurhard from the corner of his eye, and found that he hadn't spoken much.

This is not to say that Sighard didn't speak at all, but that when he responded to Lynch, he used very simple words-no words, basically relying on nasal voice, and never took the initiative to talk, which made him seem a bit cold.And when he introduced himself, he didn't say his full name, but just said "Sighard" lightly.

But this was enough to make Lynch and the others fuss.

"You're the one—ah, that, Sieghard!" Lynch was surprised for a while, and then his expression changed from surprise to a little awkward, because the other party just gave a very cold "um", for what he just showed His expression didn't pay any attention.

Lynch's friend, a boy wearing a peaked cap, couldn't stand it anymore. He squeezed Lynch's shoulder with his shoulder, and said in a rather yin and yang tone: "Lynch, hey, buddy, don't be so surprised. We all know that 'His Royal Highness' just came to Leipzig to experience life."

His words were quite provocative, and before Sieghard could respond, Ender couldn't help it.

"I think, if there must be a 'His Royal Highness' here, it shouldn't be us two outsiders." Ander retorted.

He then ignored the boy and looked back at Sieghard worriedly. Seeing that Sigurd was still sitting there silently, he gently pulled his sleeve and motioned him to go with him: "Let's go to the air. Better place to play games, Sig."

Sieghard didn't move, he patted Andra's hand holding his sleeve, it was a soothing force, very gentle; then, he raised his head and looked at the provocative boy, and there were people around the boy Lynch, who was embarrassed, squinted his eyes and asked back: "'Experience life'? Thank you for looking down on yourself so much."

Obviously, the lethality of Sieghard's words was much sharper than Ender's innocuous retaliation, and the boy jumped up instantly: "What did you say?! Did you just mock me!"

Ender was a little at a loss. He looked at Lynch to the left and Sieghard to the right, and took a step in the middle, trying to isolate the two sides, using his body to block the suddenly tense atmosphere.

The boys around also rushed up to persuade them to fight, fearing that they would turn the verbal conflict into a physical conflict here.

"Don't worry, friends—friends, don't clenched your fists. Believe me, what Mr. Ahlbeck will say then, think about his face! Calm down!"

"Yeah, the youth training center has rules and regulations. The two newcomers don't know it, don't you know it? Then you will be fined again, and if it is more serious, you will be kicked out!"

The boys stopped the boy wearing the peaked cap with all their tongues, and the other boy let out a "hum" dissatisfied, but he had already let go of his clenched fist. He pulled his cap and curled his lips unnaturally: "Surprised!" What?"

Sieghard was calm from the beginning to the end. Ender looked at him and felt that this man seemed to have expected that he would not be able to fight, so he was so silent. When the boy opposite was jumping in anger, he didn't even bother to react. Do it—although such a gesture aggravated the anger on the other side.

Ender was worried that he would irritate the other party by speaking again, and in the end it really turned into a fight, so he retreated to Sieghard, tugged on his cuff again, and whispered: "Let's go, Sieg, let's go to the dormitory keep playing."

Sieghard looked down at him. He didn't feel much just now, but now he was so cute by the nervous and wide-eyed eyes of this Chinese boy and his pitiful expression pulling his sleeves. This is a little bit of a smile.

"Okay." He said, ready to take his game console away from the TV.

Perhaps because he felt ashamed, the boy in the peaked cap who had just provoked him heard that they were leaving, and immediately took a step forward to stop Sigurhard.

"Are you going to leave like this?" He asked in a high voice, "You just said that I——!"

Sieghard looked a little human at the moment, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Otherwise? Do you really want to fight with me?" He even smiled a little because of this sentence, "Your My friend has made it very clear, I advise you not to."

The boy choked on Sieghard's words, but he still refused to let go: "Of course I won't violate discipline here, but I don't accept your ridicule."

The boy rolled his eyes and looked at his friend Lynch: "Let's compete! If you lose, you have to apologize to me for your arrogance!"

"Compared to what? Football?" Sieghard raised his eyebrows, he pointed at himself, a little funny, "Me? Goalkeeper? What position do you play?"

"...in the middle." The boy paused, and felt that the plan he proposed was not feasible.

He was stuck in place, and the more he thought about it, the more embarrassing he became, his face flushed red.

Lynch couldn't stand it any longer. He didn't know why the friendly communication was going this way, and now it has developed into a provocation from his friend. He walked over bravely and tried to persuade the boy in the peaked cap: " forget it……"

"No!" His friend reacted violently, "I have to... I have to win him! He just said...!"

"You were the one who mocked Sig's 'Crown Prince' just now." Ender muttered softly.

Then he got the boy's stare too.

But Ender didn't think that the other party was very fierce. He even smiled at the blushing boy and put forward his own opinion: "Well, how about you two competing in FIFA?"

"FIFA is not real football," the boy retorted, "it's just a game... How can I prove that I am good at football!"

"You play well in football games, and you are also good at football," Ender said. While he began to output his fallacies, he quietly pulled Sieghard's sleeve and asked him to agree, "Nowadays many football clubs start An e-sports team has been formed, and they all play FIFA, do you dare to go to the e-sports team in Leipzig and say the above again?"

His theory stunned the scene for a moment, and the boy in the peaked cap froze for a moment, then looked at Sigurhard.

The way the other party looked over made Sieghard speechless.

He felt that this scene was a little funny and a little strange, but Andre pulled his sleeves. The boy had just stood up to defend him, and now he was kind enough to let him get rid of the weird peaked cap in front of him, Sig Hader didn't want to refuse his kindness, so he could only nod in agreement.

Then, the scene came to an even stranger scene:

Sieghard was still sitting where he had just been sitting, but the seat next to him had been replaced by the boy in the peaked cap, and Ender moved behind him, and the two of them were very close—Ender only had to lean forward a little , can touch his back.

The other boys gathered around them, everyone's face was full of "what are they doing" and "enjoy the moment if you have fun watching", and some of them even couldn't wait to start playing on the sidelines Coach, I can't wait to personally choose players and formations for both sides.

Ender approached Sigurhard, and explained in a low voice behind his back: "You just play it casually, just get rid of him."

It's still winter, and the winter in Leipzig is not warm. They were all wearing sweaters indoors, so Ender was still warm when he came over, and the faint temperature swept Sigurhard's back. Close, breathing seems to be in the same area.

Sieghard suddenly changed his attitude. He put away his smile, sat up straight, and replied lightly: "I will win."

He suddenly said so solemnly, which surprised Ender, but he was also very happy to see Sieghard win the peaked cap boy, cheering him up in a low voice: "I believe in you, Sieg!"
