After playing the first game, Chen Long drove to the next venue. It was like fast food takeout and postal delivery. Wherever there is need, go wherever you need. Naturally, in this low-level amateur game, Chen Long played for five minutes. He did not show any difficulty in the game. In the two games in the afternoon and evening, he continued to score goals and money. It was wonderful. The weekend just passed by with the sunset.
For a child who has been playing football for eight years, at the age of eighteen, in Italy, a country where football is popular, he is already considered a football veteran. Eighteen-year-old friend Balotelli is already a first-line forward for Inter Milan, eighteen-year-old Del Piero is already the golden boy of Juventus, and seventeen-year-old Ronnie and Pele have already gone to the World Cup. And what about Chenlong? The life of an eighteen-year-old is still so bleak and hopeless. He is just a temporary worker on the football field.
Idols have never been surpassed, but Chenlong has been imitating them. For thirteen years, Chenlong spent every five minutes of his life imitating Ronnie's every move, obsessed with every move. But is he really a waste? No matter how you look at it, he must be a monster!
Chenlong, who was riding his bicycle, recalled his thirteen years of ups and downs, feeling a little lonely and unwilling. But he was unwilling to do so. Two years ago, he tried to send his edited video to every club, even clubs in regional leagues, but the result was still the same tragedy. Everyone was shocked after seeing his performance, but after knowing that he only had five minutes of physical strength, everyone expressed silence and gave up until now.
The root of all evil is the result of that one candy.
Chenlong even thought that if he had not eaten that piece of candy, he might have stood in the European Cup finals yesterday...
***********
The summer training camps of the Italian League have begun quietly in various places. In addition to Palermo, the team that chose to train in Palermo this year, the defending champion Juventus has also arrived here for its two-week training camp. Except for the six players participating in the European Cup who are still on vacation, other players have already started training.
The city of Palermo has been a lot livelier in recent days. The shadow of the defeat in the final has been diluted by the arrival of Juventus. Football is a game after all, but life must go on.
"Long, do you want to go watch Juventus' training?" A familiar shout like a butchering pig came from downstairs. This is his best friend since he was a child, Yang Twenty. He is also a mixed race, a chubby short fat man.
"No, let's rest." Chenlong replied calmly from the top of the building.
The afternoon sun shone lazily on Chen Long's body, making him feel indescribably comfortable. He did not enthusiastically run to the training ground to watch Juventus train like others. Instead, he lay quietly on a wicker chair alone, eating local grapes, drinking soda, and quietly dazed.
Without Juventus, there is nothing to see. Atomic Ant is good, but in the end it's still a bit lacking. Pirlo didn't come back either, and he was nowhere to be seen. Chenlong murmured in his heart.
In fact, Chen Long is a complete Juventus fan. His idol is Ronaldo, but his favorite team is Juventus. In the crucial match between Juventus and Inter Milan in 1998, Ronaldo was knocked down and a penalty kick was not awarded. This left Chen Long entangled for more than half a year. One was his favorite star, and the other was his favorite team...
"There is good news, you must be crazy after hearing it." Yang Shiwen continued to shout like a pig, "Tomorrow we will play a training match with Juventus." The voice went from loud to low, and Yang Shiwen was sweating and panting. He was so angry that he felt as if he would suddenly die of asthma if he continued to speak.
Although the voice was soft, Chen Long on the roof could hear it clearly.
With a snap, he stood up instinctively!
What? ! Can you say that again!
While speaking, he had already walked downstairs, and soon came to Twenty.
"Juventus is going to play a training match with our boys," Twenty stated with difficulty, wiping the sweat from his head.
"Um, seriously? What time?"
"Yes, the team leader has agreed, tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon. You have to work hard then, maybe you will be spotted by Juventus," Twenty encouraged from the side.
"Huh, you're interested? If you were interested, Palermo would have taken notice a long time ago. I've already played in the league. Why am I still playing in the amateur league when I'm eighteen?" After hearing what he said, Chen Long couldn't help but mock. I told myself a few words, but if I said this, was this what I was thinking in my heart
When Twenty heard his taunting, he didn't know how to reply for a moment, so he had to pat his shoulder with his hand, and finally said: Then think of it as a big bargain for us, and we can compete with Juventus in this life. One game, what a blessing that is!
"That's right. I'm going to score the ball into the Juventus goal tomorrow. I think this life will be in vain! I can brag to my son when I get old, haha." Chenlong's thoughts were moving very quickly. He was already used to it. In order to comfort myself, I naturally got out of that low mood quickly.
"You think, can I score the ball into Juventus' goal?" Chen Long suddenly turned his head, staring at Twenty with sharp glasses and asked seriously.
Faced with his expectations, Twenty-one answered sincerely: "The chance is almost zero. First, you can't hold the ball. Second, how can you hold them up with their size? They are top defenders. In fact, the chance is zero."
"Then just let me get the ball. I will definitely be able to do it. I will definitely be able to score!" Chen Long bit his lip and replied firmly, "In five minutes, I will not lose to anyone. ”
"Even if I can't play in the professional league, I won't lose to anyone!"
Twenty looked at Chen Long's smug look and sighed in his heart, "This child is suffering enough. If it weren't for his physical limitations, he would have become a figure like Ba Shen, right? No, maybe it would be better." Twenty has been with him since childhood. When Chen Long grew up, he naturally knew about Chen Long’s past and his interactions with Ba Shen.
"Well, come on, you can do it!" He encouraged Chen Long.
Chen Long was excited, but he didn't know why he was so inexplicably excited. It was not that he had never played against Palermo before, but this time the arrival of Juventus made him a little too excited. This night It was the first time in a long time that he couldn't sleep.
Does he really not care? No, he cared, he just didn't show it in front of others. Because he has suffered too many blows, he doesn't want another blow to show up in front of others.
He lay on the bed excitedly, already thinking about what kind of technology he would use to score goals tomorrow. Tomorrow he will meet a championship-level defender who is the champion of the First Division. In five minutes, can he hope to get past those defenders and score in five minutes
Is he okay? He turned his head and looked at the Ronnie poster posted on the opposite wall. It was a picture of Ronnie flying high, full of confidence and domineering. He thought to himself, why wouldn't he want to be like his idol
What does he want? Maybe he just wants a chance, a chance to be recognized by the other party, or a chance to become a professional player
In this infinite reverie, he gradually fell into sleep.
