Frenzy [football]

"You mean... I can go to Brazil right now!!!?"

"Of course, as long as you are ready, you can do it anytime."

Andrik didn't expect that the words "go to Brazil" could bring such great joy to Lei Yi.The 60-year-old Brazilian coach suddenly felt... oh, what kind of helplessness is this, and then he gave Lei Yi an affirmative answer with a look of weakness.That made Lei Yi very happy.

But after being happy for a while, Lei Yi became very depressed again.

Lei Yi: "But sir, my family is very poor."

Andrik: "Trust me, kid. In Brazil, a lot of kids come from poor families."

Lei Yi: "But...the air ticket to Brazil from here is very expensive. I can't afford it. Even if I just want a one-way ticket."

The Brazilian coach of the Chinese national team was obviously amused by this childish boy again. He said with an expression and tone of "we are our own, Brazil is not": "Let Sao Paulo give you Advance salary for a plane ticket!"

"Really... can I...? Wait!" Only when he was happy, Lei Yi realized a very important question, and asked: "Sir! You mean... you want to recommend me to play football in Sao Paulo? "

"Yeah, remember what we said yesterday? The head coach of Sao Paulo is an old friend of mine. I also asked you to pretend to be the player he recommended to me. You see, I was going to recommend you to him today. You Don't you think this is interesting?"

Andrik had just finished saying this, when he saw Lei Yi's mournful face, aggrieved and unsure of what to do, and a very vacillating look, so he was a little helpless and a little funny, as if the boy in front of him was his grandson Said: "What's the matter?"

"But... I want to go to Botafogo! Garrincha should go to Botafogo!"

Oh enough!Don't geniuses always have such and such stinking problems!Little Leiy, where did this bad habit come from! !Seeing the anger in Bishop Andrik's eyes, Lei Yi finally remembered that he was still a 16-year-old boy!So like a child, he lowered his head with a guilty conscience.

And Andrik finally said: "Bastard boy! Do you think Sao Paulo is worse than Botafogo! Garrincha should go to Botafogo? Wake up! If you say this to someone now! All Brazil Everyone will laugh out loud! I know you are very good, but you have to know that in Brazil, the most indispensable thing is football talent! If it is not because the head coach of Sao Paulo is my old friend, if I do not try my best to persuade him to watch it first One look at you, he will believe my fantasy, and promise me that if you are good enough, you will be admitted to the club instead of the youth academy? Do you think that as long as you say Botafogo, someone will let you go! !"

So Lei Yi began to tug at the hem of his clothes. He seemed to want to tell the other party that Brazil has no shortage of football talents, but I am sure there is no such thing as me.But Lei Yi finally held back, and heard Andric suppress his voice, and said more calmly: "Sao Paulo is a great team. Even in the whole of South America, no one can deny this. More importantly, if you grow up to be a great star, then you can choose the team you want to play. But now, you are just a poor kid with no name!"

Andrik's last words finally convinced Lei Yi.But he obviously couldn't be at peace even for a minute.Only a moment later, Lei Yi hurriedly asked: "Then when will I be able to participate in the national team competition with the team!"

Hearing the little guy yelling and asking such a sentence, Andrik wished to hit Lei Yi's little head, but he couldn't bear it.So I could only hum and say: "If you can score a hat-trick in your debut game in Sao Paulo, I will carefully consider this issue."

Hearing such an answer, Lei Yi pursed his lips and showed a weird smile, while the Brazilian in front of him raised his eyebrows and returned a relative smile.

Once this decision is made, Lei Yi seems to have entered the countdown to set off for Brazil.As he said himself, he couldn't stand every hour he wasn't able to play.Because he was worried that the Sao Paulo club would send the money to his parents' card, his parents would withhold the money because they opposed him going to Brazil, so Lei Yi and Andrik agreed that Sao Paulo would transfer the money to Andrik first. Ke's bank card.Then, after returning home and getting in touch with Mr. Andrik to confirm the date, let Mr. Andrik's assistant buy him a plane ticket.

Next, Lei Yi couldn't wait to go home and tell his parents that he was going to Brazil to play football!

The boy could hardly wait for the national team to go to the World Cup qualifiers.

The night before he left, Andrik was in a good mood to talk to this funny boy for a while.He also talked about the most successful Asian player in the history of modern football who will always be dragged out by hundreds of millions of fans on the eve of each World Cup, with various requests.

Andrik: "Oh, we will play the Japanese team in the next World Cup qualifier. I can almost imagine that if we lose this game, the Chinese fans will attribute it all to the fact that we did not invite Yue Coming out again. The previous head coach of the Chinese team complained to me when he left office. In China, people always attribute all failures to our failure to persuade Yue to return to the national team to continue playing. .”

Lei Yi: "Yue?"

Obviously, no matter how familiar you are with a foreign language, when a foreigner calls a Chinese person in this foreign language, people who are not familiar with the name will still be unable to react for a while.As if he understood what was going on, Andrik smiled and said: "Yes, Yue. It is the No. 11 of the Turin team. You should know him and have watched his games, right? In China, young people who like to play football regard him as their idol and God."

Although Andrik's words may be exaggerated, they are generally not wrong, and with Yue Yihuang's popularity, it can be said that if it is only in Asia, he has surpassed the old Beckham.But Lei Yi was not the kind of person who liked football since childhood.It was only after that bizarre journey that he realized he was supposed to be for football.It can be said that he doesn't know much about football after the 60s.Not to mention, like some boys who love to play football, they are familiar with the famous players of the past 30 years.

So he just chuckled, and said after hesitation: "I've seen it. But I think...his style of play is not my favorite type. It's too unexciting."

After Lei Yi gave the answer, Andrik immediately asked as if he had grasped the point of the question: "Which game of his did you watch?"

Sure enough, after hearing this question, Lei Yi's expression became very interesting, and he said hesitantly: "Well...that's...the last Turin Derby."

Such an answer made Andrik laugh out loud, and he bent his index finger, knocked Lei Yi's head hard with his knuckles, and said like a lesson: "Arrogant boy! The last Turin Derby was in a It was a month ago! He is already 33 years old this year!! I guess you must not know, he was still playing as a midfielder last season."

"Ah... ah!!?" ​​After Andrik's point, Lei Yi finally came to his senses, and asked loudly, "He is already 33 years old this year!!? I, I thought he Only in my twenties..."

"Yes, 33 years old." When Lei Yi covered his head, the Brazilian rubbed him again, and continued: "When he was young, he played as a shadow forward and midfielder. At that time, everyone shouted He is the son of phantom. His speed is extremely fast, every surprise can bring people a terrible sense of threat, and he plays football with a lot of brains. He is recognized throughout Europe and the player that all clubs regret most. Turin put him He only spent 100 million euros when he was bought, but he created billions of euros for the club in the following 14 years. He is humble, tough, determined, self-disciplined, responsible, and knows how to do for the team Sacrifice. He doesn't go to nightclubs, doesn't smoke or drink, and that's the kind of player that any coach would love."

This kind of description obviously caused the... in Lei Yi's head... who was always praised as miraculous, a suspicious golden light appeared on the head of the 33-year-old Asian player this year.Lei Yi, who is only 16 years old this year, pouted, "It sounds like a saint, but what fun is there in being a saint?"

Such a young man who is completely rebellious will say something that makes coach Andrik laugh out loud.Immediately afterwards, he said the last words of the night to Lei Yi: "Listen, arrogant boy. I will give you a piece of advice as a coach and as an elder. You only need to be like Garrincha on the court. That's it."

Just like Garrincha on the pitch.At the age of 16, Lei Yi did not understand this sentence.In other words, he seems to understand but not understand.

In his view, being a player should be like Garrincha, doing whatever he wants and retaining his innocence.Only then can players play such a creative and beautiful game.Of course, it would be even better if Garrincha could stop drinking, find so many girlfriends, and not quarrel with his girlfriends over drinking.

A day later, Lei Yi returned home. When he came home, his mother cried and hugged him and said that she would never beat him again.At that time, Lei Yi still felt very guilty, and said: "Mom and Dad, I found a very good coach. He said he was very optimistic about me and wanted to send me to Brazil to play football."

Imagine that one day your child comes back from a long absence and says, “Dad, Mom, I found a great coach.He said he was very optimistic about me and wanted to send me to Brazil to play football] What would your reaction be?

At that time, Lei Yi's parents' reaction was... very calm and said that was great, and then asked Lei Yi to give them the contact number of the coach, and they took that phone number to find the middle school student who was in charge of the incident at the time." The police comrades who were tied up in the "case" and told them excitedly: "The man behind the scenes has finally been found!!!"
