Football: I am a goalkeeper, averaging 1 goal per game

The next day, at 12 o'clock.

Since today's game is played away.

Middlesbrough is about two hours' drive from Nottingham Forest.

Speechless all the way.

At 14 o'clock, the bus of the Boro U18 youth team drove into the Nottingham Forest City Stadium.

For today's game, Nottingham still arranged for the official venue inside the stadium, not an auxiliary venue outside the stadium.

After changing his jersey in the locker room of the visiting team, Xu Jin followed his teammates through the player tunnel, ran onto the court and started adaptive training.

There are not many fans present today.

Whether it is the home team Nottingham Forest or the visiting team Middlesbrough.

The combined fans of the two teams did not reach 2000.

The main reason is that today's game is a Friday working day.

"Hello! Xu Jin!"

Just when Xu Jin was doing stretching exercises with David, a deep voice suddenly sounded.

"Hey! Cranes, this is our training ground in Boro! What are you doing here?"

David, who was standing facing Xu Jin, straightened up, looked behind Xu Jin and said.

Cranes?

Nottingham Forest striker?

Xu Jin frowned, stood up, and thought to himself: The forward of the forest came to us before the game, and he came to find fault again?Can you stop doing this!Can't you play well?

"Haha, David, have you forgotten that the place you are in now is the City Stadium?"

Behind him, the deep voice said: "Everything here belongs to our forest! Long time no see! Old man!"

Afterwards, Xu Jin saw a tall and burly man appearing from behind him.

The man opened his arms and hugged David hard.

After that, the two faced Xu Jin and stood shoulder to shoulder.

David said: "Xu, this is Forest's midfielder, Chris! Chris, standing in front of you now is the No.1 scorer in the Youth League, Xu Jin!"

Cranes has short blond hair and piercing eyes.

"Hello! I was still watching your goal collection yesterday! Your dribbling and shooting, you don't look like a goalkeeper at all."

original……

Creans didn't come here to find fault!

Xu Jin smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for the compliment! I heard you say it's been a while? Have you two known each other for a long time?"

"Of course!" David said, "Crience is also from Middlesbrough. We were in the same class in primary school! But he is 13 years old..."

Cranes patted David on the shoulder and corrected: "No! 14 years old!"

David said: "Yes! When he was 14 years old, the whole family moved to Nottingham."

It turned out to be the case.

Xu Jin nodded. He was actually quite friendly to those who didn't come to find fault on purpose: "Then...it's nice to meet you, Creens."

Xu Jin stretched out his hand while speaking.

Cranes smiled and held out his hand in the same way.

Holding hands together, Creans said, "Although David and I are very good friends, today I will not show mercy!"

Xu Jin smiled faintly: "It must be so! I have no interest in crushing the game."

"Haha!" Creens smiled heartily: "That would be great. If possible, please don't just use 100% of your strength, but 120%, no! Please use 200% of your strength! In this way, I'll find it more interesting!"

"A word is settled!"

……

After the adaptive training, the two teams returned to the locker room.

On the way, Xu Jin was surprised to find that many of his teammates and Nottingham Forest players seemed to know each other, and the relationship was not bad.

Talking and laughing along the way.

Xu Jin asked David what he was puzzled about.

David explained: "Because we have a good relationship with Forest. Our two first-team clubs have a lot of player exchanges, such as loaning players to each other, and then inviting friendly matches during the offseason!"

"I see!"

Xu Jin nodded.

After returning to the locker room, head coach Leonardo was impassioned.

"Boys! As most of you know, our club has a good relationship with Forest."

"So, today's game, you all have to win! Do you know?"

"Because if we lose, these forest people will post Instagram and Facebook every day to connotate us!"

"Maybe, they might still call you!"

……

The same dialogue also appeared in the dressing room of the home team Nottingham Forest.

Forest U18 head coach Waller clapped the tactical board in his hand.

"Boys, today our opponent is Middlesbrough!"

"If you let them take a point from our city stadium, maybe even three!"

"These smokers will call you every day!"

"So, we must win today's game!"

"As I said yesterday, you must pay attention to that goalkeeper, Xu Jin!"

"As long as you find him attacking, go up and press no matter what! Never let him dribble past the midfield!"

"Taylor, today is your time to play!"

"Bring out your pressing and intercepting abilities!"

"Do you still remember what position you played in when you first started playing football?"

Taylor, wearing the No. 9 jersey, smiled, stood up and said, "Of course, Coach Worrall, when I first came into contact with football, I played as a central defender!"

Waller nodded in satisfaction.

"Then let me kill Xu Jinfang in the restricted area!"

……
