Chapter 64: Mother's Support

Regardless of whether he signed with Manchester United or not, he was going to play in the professional league. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 InfoAfter two fantastic FA Cup games, how could he be willing to fight in the amateur arena? Any man with football dreams is not willing to stay in the amateur league in this situation.

However, men also have families, and when they pursue their dreams, they also need the support and blessings of their families.

Since Li Qingshan has made such a decision, of course, he needs to discuss it with his parents and get their support.

After a night of training in the world of football training camp, Li Qingshan seemed to have been fished out of the water, and his whole body was sweating.

After a brief wash, Li Qingshan wore gray-blue jeans, put on a white T-shirt, and put the books needed for today's class into his backpack.

Although he was the hero who almost saved the team on the pitch yesterday, now the hero must also go to class on time, Li Qingshan promised his mother before coming to the UK: study hard and never skip class.

It stands to reason that Li Qingshan has made up his mind to take the road of professional football, and it doesn't matter if he goes to school or not today, but for Li Qingshan, as long as he doesn't sign a contract for a day, he is still just a student at the University of Manchester. He's a guy who can find his place very well, and as a student, you naturally have to be a good student, and as a player, you have to train well.

Having said that, Li Qingshan was a little distracted by this morning's class. Since I was a child, my mother has maintained an attitude of opposition to playing football by herself, what if my mother does not agree? He thought about it all morning, but he couldn't come up with a reason.

As the morning class passed, Li Qingshan walked out of the teaching building with his backpack on his back, walked to a small bench under a big tree on the campus, sat down, and took out his mobile phone. After a long while, he sighed - what should come is always coming, he can't hide that his mother dropped out of school to become a professional player, can he hide it for a while, can he hide it for a lifetime?

Maybe when I earn my first professional salary, my mother's attitude will change. He turned on his phone and dialed home.

At 7:50 p.m., Li Xiong, who had not long had dinner, was mopping the floor with a mop, while his wife, Gao Meimei, was washing dishes in the kitchen.

Just then, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

Li Xiong put the mop against the wall, took out his mobile phone, and it was his son who called back: "Son, call back at this time, is there something wrong with the son?" ”

"Dad, I want to discuss something with you...."Li Qingshan on the other side of the phone whispered, he chose to call his father's mobile phone instead of calling the family's landline or his mother's mobile phone, because his father supported him in playing football, if his mother received the call first, it was okay to play football, although his mother objected, but because he was used to playing football since he was a child, the most important thing is that he mainly wants to say two things today, the first is of course to play professional football, and the second is not to go to school. This second part is definitely strongly opposed by Mom, and even Dad may not necessarily agree to it. So let's start with the easy side first, so that parents can be prepared.

Therefore, Li Qingshan said: "Dad, I plan to play football." ”

"Kick the ball, aren't you playing now?"

"I mean, I'm not playing amateur football anymore, I'm going to play professional football."

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, and Li Qingshan waited anxiously for the news on the other side of the phone.

Li Xiong was not surprised at all when he heard his son say these words to him. In fact, a month ago, when he saw his son playing Liverpool in the FA Cup, he had a hunch.

Naturally, he was concerned about his wife's attitude, he looked over to the kitchen, then retracted and said in a low voice, "What about the university?" ”

"I don't plan to go to school anymore, since I decided to sign a contract, I have to train every day to become a professional footballer in the future."

"Well, is there a team looking for you?"

'After yesterday's game, the manager approached me personally. Li Qingshan told the conversation between himself and Ferguson.

"That's the way it is, I thought about it all night, Dad. I love playing and now that I have an opportunity like this, I can't say no........."

Li Xiong listened carefully, occasionally saying "um".

After Li Qingshan finished speaking in one breath, he said, "What are you going to say to your mother?" ”

"I ......" Li Qingshan hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "I want to talk to my mother." ”

Li Xiong on the other end of the phone smiled: "That's right, son, if you want to play football, your mother's support is very important, if your mother doesn't agree, can you play football with peace of mind?" I'm glad you can do this, pay attention to the tone when you talk to your mother later, don't be anxious, don't be noisy, be calm, your mother is also good for you, as long as the reason makes sense, she won't object, you wait a minute, I'll give your phone to your mother, she's in the kitchen now. ”

Gao Meili was washing dishes in the kitchen, and suddenly saw her husband appear at the kitchen door, "What's the matter?" ”

"My son misses you and wants to talk to you....... Li Xiong said and handed over his phone.

Gao Meili wiped her hands on her apron and turned out her phone.

"Hey, son."

"Ah, Mom, it's my ....." Li Qingshan sat on the bench and carefully organized the language for a while. Mom, I want to discuss something with you. ”

"What's the matter? Is the cost of living over? ”

"No, Mom....... Oh yes, listen to Dad, you watched me play with him last night..."

"Yesa, I'm ......... sleepy at work today," Gao Meili thought of going to work today, and she yawned almost all day.

"Then look at how your son and I played..."Li Qingshan said with a smile.

Gao Meili was silent, she was not a fool, and she also heard what her son meant. "You're going to play football?"

"Yes, Mom, I'm going to play professional football." At this point, Li Qingshan did not hesitate, and said very simply.

"After yesterday's game, the manager of Manchester United approached me...... Li Qingshan repeated the conversation between himself and Ferguson, and also introduced his mother, who does not know much about football, Manchester United and the weight of Ferguson in English football.

"I've thought about it, I still like to play, I've always loved it, and now there's an opportunity in front of me and I can't give it up, Mom."

Gao Meili was silent, Li Qingshan heard that there was no sound on the other end of the phone, and his heart began to beat faster and faster. What is your mother's reaction now?

"I know you've loved playing football since you were a kid." After a long while, Gao Meimei's voice came from the phone. "It's not impossible if you want to play."

Li Qingshan, who heard this sentence on the other side of the phone, was not too excited.

"But .........." Sure enough, Li Qingshan knew that his mother would not be so good at talking about playing football by himself.

"I know you like to play, but I'm worried." Gao Meili said.

"First of all, you're going to play professional football, have you thought about it, if you don't succeed, you don't make money by playing football, and you don't go to college, what are you going to do in the future?"

"I ......."

As soon as Li Qingshan was about to defend himself, his mother interrupted him: "You listen to me first, even if you succeed and become a professional player, but this industry is a youth meal, and it is easy to get injured, what if you don't play football in the future?" I have a pension, and your father plans to buy a pig farm in a few years to get back some pension money, and we will have a bowl of rice to eat when we are old, and we will not die of hunger. What about you? What will you do in the future, and when you are old, what else will you have? ”

"Okay, answer me these two questions first."

Li Qingshan thought for a while, organized the language, and replied: "First question, Mom, I think as long as I work hard, I will definitely succeed, you see I have been playing football since I was a child, and I am no worse than others, right?" When I was 11 or 12 years old, I trained with those who were thirteen or fourteen, and they didn't kick me. The football school closed down and I went to high school, and at that time, many relatives said that I entered high school because of your relationship, what was the result? I didn't disappoint you, did I? It's the same with playing professional football, even if it's hard, I'm going to grit my teeth and persevere. ”

After answering this, Li Qingshan waited for his mother to score him.

"What about the second question?" Gao Meili didn't make an evaluation right away, but continued to ask.

"Well, you know me, I'm not a big spender, Mom. If I succeed in playing professional football, I will definitely earn more money than the average person, and I will make a financial savings plan when the time comes. And even if I retire in the future, I can go back to college, I can go to a sports management or something, and now there are still a lot of retired players to coach, no matter how bad it is, I can also go to school as a physical education teacher to teach children to play football, as long as the current society is not lazy, it will not starve to death. ”

"I'm done, Mom."

After listening to her son's words, Gao Meili said: "Son, my mother is from here, and I don't want you to be rich and rich, so I hope that you will be safe and stable in this life, and you will not suffer too much and suffer too many sins." Mom isn't hurting you, you know? ”

"Yes, I know, Mom."

"If you have to choose the path you want to take, I can't help it, you are my son, now you are almost twenty years old, grown up, you have to play football What else can I do?"

"I only hope that you will not regret your decision today in the future, and I hope that you will have a good life in the future, and I will have nothing to say..........."

Li Qingshan didn't know how he hung up the phone, he sat alone on the campus bench and was stunned, he really didn't expect his mother's answer to be like this. Before that, he thought his mother would strongly disagree with his decision to play professional football.

Can you really pursue your goals without any worries?

I'm not dreaming, am I?

He pinched his arm, grinning in pain, and then he laughed – it's true! I can really play professional football with confidence and boldness! Ahaha!
