Frenzy [football]

That night, Lei Yi received a UPS express mail from China, which turned out to be from the leader of the Chinese team!And what is contained in the package is the legendary rhodiola rosea, which is used to relieve altitude sickness!Lei Yi opened his e-mail belatedly, only to find that the staff of the Chinese team had sent him an e-mail three days ago, telling him that the team had checked his hometown and found that he My family is from the plains, so I sent him this to remind him to start eating in advance.

Seeing this, Lei Yi realized that the problem of high altitude... seems a bit serious!

When he went to the club for training the next day, Lei Yi, who realized the seriousness of the problem, asked all the South Americans in the team if they had represented the national team at home in Ecuador, and if so. , how did it feel at that time.

Lei Yi, who asked the club teammates these questions, seemed extremely serious. He even took a small notebook and recorded all the specific feelings his teammates told him.But the more he recorded, the more he felt...he was afraid of heights!

Especially, after he heard a certain club teammate tell him such a sentence: [Altitude sickness is insurmountable, and no amount of tenacious willpower can overcome it] In this way, in just one morning, the entire Sao Paulo The team knows that the youngest player in their team will go to Ecuador to play the intercontinental play-offs of the World Cup at home in a month.Regarding Lei Yi's hesitation and the faint fear in his heart, everyone said that there is a bird here that is afraid of flying high.

The group taunts from his teammates made Lei Yi feel very frustrated. Before that, he never thought that such a thing could affect his heroic and extraordinary performance on the field!Doesn't anyone think that Ecuador is cheating like this!

After Lei Yi uttered such a heartfelt sentiment, although every World Cup qualifier was played hard at the Ecuador team's home court, but with the idea that we have all suffered losses, how can we make you not suffer, everyone turned to Lei Yi Yi said that this is just his home field advantage, how can Ecuador be said to be cheating!If people in your country are willing, you can also build your home court in a higher place!

This round of group ridicule made Lei Yi completely sad and angry, and even the next day was a rest day, he couldn't make him feel better.He even blurted out a sentence on the way home: Ah, what a painful realization!

After singing that sentence, Lei Yi was silent at that time, and then felt ashamed to open the door of the room he rented, and rushed all the way into his room, a slippery kneeling raised his head and shouted: "I'm going to the world Fly to the highest peak!!"

After shouting this sentence, Lei Yi felt even more ashamed.He seems to have a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Even when he is making a hasty dinner for himself, he can't help but use his mobile phone to check the symptoms of various altitude sickness.And when eating, it is even more impossible to stop.

"Hey, in the end... will I suffer from altitude sickness?"

Before preparing dinner for himself, Lei Yi sent an email to ask the staff of the Chinese team about the arrangement of the national team match this time.But there is a twelve-hour difference between Beijing time and Sao Paulo in Brazil, maybe Lei Yi will have to wait a long time for the other party's reply.

Just when Lei Yi was hesitating, there was a knock on the door of his house.

"Hello?"

"Open the door, it's me, Dominguez."

As soon as he heard his friend's voice, Lei Yi jumped up and ran to open the door for Dominguez.But Domingos didn't seem to intend to come in and sit for a while, instead he said to Lei Yi: "Clean up, take your toothbrush, towel and pajamas, let's go."

Lei Yi: "Out out out out out... out?"

Dominguez: "Yes, we went camping on Monte Manteguera, the highest mountain in the state of São Paulo. There is a Mina mountain there."

Lei Yi: "Is it taller than Kido!"

Dominguez: "Probably, it's less than 100 meters shorter."

Lei Yi hesitated for a few seconds on the "less than 100 meters short", and then immediately called Domingos in, and hurriedly said: "Then wait for me to take a shower first! Soon! 5 minutes!!"

In this way, Lei Yi got into Domingos' car and went to the highest mountain in the state of Sao Paulo together with his club teammates at night.Such an atmosphere actually made Lei Yi feel like he was filming that old American western.Of course, there are no such beautiful tropical natural scenery in American Westerns.

"You take this World Cup very seriously."

There was a very samba-inspired song playing in the car, and when Dominguez's voice came on, the enthusiasm was immediately cut back a lot, a lot.That immediately gave Lei Yi a feeling... that he needed to discuss a certain topic with his club teammate seriously.

"Ahem." Lei Yi cleared his throat, and then said: "Yes! But it's not this World Cup, but all the World Cups. As a player, no one will not pay attention to the World Cup, right?"

When the car is driving on uneven roads, the car body will always shake slightly.Dominguez glanced at Lei Yi, and then continued: "No. However, I always feel something different about you. You think you are a hero, and you appear at a critical moment , save your national team, is that right?"

What Domingos said made Lei Yi feel a little dazed, and then felt that the facts were very similar to what Domingos said.

Knowing the answer he wanted from Lei Yi's expression, Domingos turned his attention back to the road ahead and continued: "You have a sense of mission, and in your heart, you will never be there if you fall down. , and the idea that someone else can take over from you. But you have to know that you are only 16 years old this year. Even in Brazil, most of the players were in the club's youth team or even the junior team when you were your age. .”

Lei Yi: "So you're trying to say... I'm luckier than most people?"

Dominguez: "No, I want to say that you should enjoy the happiness that football brings you while you are better now, instead of always thinking about creating something for the team. For you, now Your time is precious, and the past will never come back."

Lei Yi: "I can understand what you said, and thank you for reminding me of this, but I feel very anxious. Very anxious, very anxious."

Dominguez: "Worried?"

Lei Yi: "Yes! Hurry to become the king of the ball!"

Domingos was obviously taken aback by Lei Yi's words, and then he laughed helplessly.But Lei Yi didn't seem to pay attention or care about these things, but said very seriously: "Pelé has already scored goals for the club when he was 15 years and nine months old! Although I am the same as him, in Two months after entering the club, he got the chance to make his debut, but it was a few months later than him when he scored the first goal for the club. And Pele has played for 22 years, Played 1364 games and scored 1281 goals. He won the World Cup, the South American Club, the Copa Libertadores. He did so much to be crowned champion! So I'm really anxious!"

Lei Yi raised his fingers to count the numbers, and began to calculate very hard how many years he should play, how many goals he should score every year, how many assists he should get in each game, and how many assists he should make to complete such a huge number.Counting and counting, Lei Yi's head was getting bigger. Seeing Lei Yi scratching his head, the most dazzling defensive midfielder in the Sao Paulo team couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, then you should be serious and be the king of the ball."

Hearing his friend wishing him so, Lei Yi didn't think about it, but turned his head to look at Dominguez very happily.

In South America in October, it is already a warm spring here.But on such a mountain with a height of 700 meters, it will still be a little cold at night.But Dominguez was well prepared, and he brought a tent for camping.As for the sleeping bag, this Brazilian with a yearning for freedom in his nature doesn’t seem to like being squeezed into such a small cloth bag to sleep. He prefers to be able to stretch his body and relax himself during sleep.So he brought two light and warm blankets.

Lei Yi: "Dominguez, is altitude sickness coming?"

Dominguez: "Probably."

Lei Yi: "Dominguez, why hasn't the altitude sickness come yet?"

Dominguez: "Yeah."

Lei Yi: "Dominguez, the altitude sickness hasn't come yet, so it won't come!"

Lei Yi: "Domingos..."

Lei Yi: "Domingos..."

Lei Yi: "Domingos..."

Lei Yi quarreled for a long time, and found that his club teammates just ignored him and ignored him, so he unzipped the light-blocking cloth on the top of the tent out of boredom, planning to watch the stars for entertainment by himself.

Whether it is a physique prone to altitude sickness, you can't tell just by staying in a place with a height of half a height for a few hours.Many people tend to feel that violent discomfort after a night.

It is precisely because of this that once a South American team chose to stay at a lower altitude before the game in order to overcome the Ecuadorian team's devil plateau. The seaport city of Ecuador did not go to Ecuador's home until the game was about to be played. The capital Quito.That, they thought, might allow the team to finish the game before the altitude sickness set in.

There is also a team that arrived in Quito ten days before going to the Ecuador team's home stadium, and conducted daily training in this city at an altitude of 2850 meters, in an attempt to make this group of young and strong players ten days. time to acclimate to the altitude.

But no matter what, they don't seem to be able to completely avoid the huge impact of high altitude on players.It is also a fierce 90-minute race, and of course there will be a big difference between completing it on the plains and at an altitude of 2850 meters.

The reason why Domingos brought Lei Yi here at night is to let this boy who still doesn't know whether the altitude sickness will affect him very much, sleep at this high altitude place, Then on the second day, run and dance for nine to 10 minutes, feel and simulate in advance, so that Lei Yi can have a clear idea when he goes to Quito to compete.

Before finally finishing up and going to sleep, Lei Yi called again the names of his club teammates who were sleeping in the same tent with him at the moment.

"Dominguez...we must not lose this time against Ecuador. If we win, I will be able to play in the World Cup! There must be at least three games! I'm kicking stones on the side of the road during the first game! That's so sad..."

Saying that, Lei Yi pulled up the blackout cloth in the tent again, lay down, turned over and fell asleep.

Domingos on the side seemed to have not fallen asleep, opened his eyes after Lei Yi's breathing became very steady, and helped the little guy beside him cover the blanket.

Five days later, Lei Yi received a notification from the national team.The team leader told him that the country now attaches great importance to the intercontinental play-offs of the World Cup. In order to pave the way for the national team, the Football Association even decided to suspend the Chinese Super League for three weeks in order to allow the national team to assemble in advance and go to the base in Ecuador. Much, get used to the altitude there.

Considering that Lei Yi is currently in South America, the team decided not to let him gather in Beijing first, but go directly to Ecuador to join everyone.The team leader specially told him not to lose himself, the phone must be turned on, and he must not lose people at critical moments.

Lei Yi was very happy that he didn't need to fly from South America to Beijing to assemble and then fly back to South America from Beijing, so he happily told his club coach Mr. Mel, and then got the head coach of his own club yelling.

"Bastard! You have to go to the training camp three weeks in advance for a national team match! Is this something people living on earth would think of! A World Cup qualifier can make them come like this, so if you really enter the World Cup It’s the final round, don’t you need to stay in the club for the next six months, just go back to your hometown for closed training for half a year!! Don’t let people go! It’s impossible to let people go three weeks in advance! That old bastard Andrik came in person If you ask me, I will not agree!"

Mr. Mel, the head coach of Sao Paulo, Brazil, said that this season's Brazilian League One has reached the last few rounds, and all teams are working hard to hit the league rankings.Coupled with the loss of the Sao Paulo team in the South American Copa Libertadores held in the first half of this year, it is even more necessary to do their best to play the South American Club Cup that ended in early December without leaving any regrets.

So let him release three weeks early?

Mel said, is this teasing him! !
