Chapter 2: Am I Running Too Fast? (Ask for push...)
See the fastest updates
"Hah!" Leko laughed when he saw that Glory didn't catch up with the football and let it fly straight off the sideline, "Mr. Godot, I honestly don't think it's fast. The tone was slight, with a slight mockery.
Mauro also frowned beside him.
In fact, Rongguang is not slow, and he only almost receives the ball at the end, but for Godot's "extremely fast", it is still far behind. Naturally, such a performance could not impress anyone.
I didn't have a football foundation, I didn't start playing football until I was sixteen, and my athletic talent wasn't as exaggerated as my agent said...... He didn't know what the use of St. Paul's need for this kid.
Godot stared dumbfounded at the training ground. He was genuinely stunned. Because he had never seen such glory—slow indeed! For Rongguang, this speed is really not worth mentioning!
But how could the speed of glory be so slow?
He couldn't figure it out.
But he knew that things were not going to be good—the two people who decided Glory's life and death, Leko and Mauro, seemed to be losing patience.
It was then that he saw Glory sitting on the ground and began to take off his shoes and socks.
"Looks like your players are going to give up, Mr. Godot." Leko sneered.
He only accompanied Mauro to inspect the academy today, Mauro has just taken up his post and needs to familiarize himself with the environment. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing when I came. Don't look at him sitting in the office, he is actually very busy, how can he waste his time looking at an agent and his Chinese kid who doesn't know what to say, who doesn't know where he came from?
"I ...... if I want"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a voice.
"Not this time! Not this time! "It's loud, the accent is weird, I can hear it, and I'm not very proficient in Portuguese." Do it all over again!
Glory, the Chinese kid had jumped up from the ground, and he was waving his arms and shouting loudly at his side.
"The shoes don't fit, they're a little smaller, and when I run, my feet hurt!" He was still yelling. "I'll just run barefoot! Barefoot! I ran barefoot in the mountains! ”
As if he was afraid that the other party wouldn't understand, he also raised his left foot directly, and came to an independent appearance of the golden rooster! The soles of the feet are exposed to everyone.
Godot immediately cooperated and pointed to the glory of maintaining the independent posture of the golden rooster in an exaggerated posture, and said to Leco and Mauro: "Look, two gentlemen! What a great strength he has in his waist and legs! What a sense of balance! And his big feet! Don't you think it's very disproportionate to his whole size? It's too big! With such a big pair of feet, you were born to play football! ”
His tone became more and more like that of a door-to-door salesman......
However, Rongguang didn't give Godot face, he only supported it for a few seconds before falling down, of course, he didn't forget to maintain his left foot high when he fell, and the golden rooster was independent. So he fell directly to the ground in a forked posture like a one-word horse...... "Oops! ”
"Poof!" Among the onlookers of the youth team, some people couldn't help but laugh when they saw this scene.
"He actually saw that we were training too hard, and invited us from the circus to make us happy and relax, right?"
"What are you doing with that red vest? Just like the clown...... "Some of the onlookers also expressed such feelings.
Godot was also shocked when he saw this, but he reacted immediately, and continued to shout, raising his voice: "Look! What a great flexibility! Extremely difficult split! Isn't that physical fitness good enough? It's just ......."
"Enough!" Leco, who was full of bruises, finally couldn't help it. "I'm not here to see you put on a clown show......
He's about to leave.
Mauro didn't move, but said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, just let him do it again." ”
Leko looked at Mauro in amazement.
He can't be really tempted, right?
Mauro smiled at Leko and said, "It's only a few seconds to run once." ”
Leko thought about it for a while, and felt that it was right, so he regained his feet and said to Godot in a very bad tone: "Although I don't have much hope, please also ask your players to be serious for me!" This is the training base of São Paulo, not a park lawn on the streets! ”
Godot didn't care about Leco's very unceremonious tone at this time, he turned around and ran in front of Glory, it was rare for a fat man to run so fast......
He saw Glory squatting and rubbing the base of his thigh after getting up from the ground, and he was worried that Glory had strained his ligaments.
"It's all right, Rong?"
"Still not working, Godot?" Rong Guang is more concerned about this trial, which is related to his dreams.
"No, they promised to give it another chance, the last time, the last time! So this time ......," Godot said very seriously.
As soon as he heard that there was another chance, Glory seemed very happy, and he immediately jumped up from the ground: "That time was a mistake just now, this time it will definitely not be, Godot!" This time we will succeed! ”
"It's good that you have that faith! Rong, think about why you came to Brazil! ”
"Make money!" When it comes to making money, Glory's eyes light up. "Make a lot of money! Make lots and lots of money! ”
"Yes, if you can't even get into a team, you're not qualified to make money! So run hard this time and let them see how fast you are! Scare them to death! Godot clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"Run! Let them see how glorious I am! Glory clenched his fists and shouted through gritted teeth like Godot.
※※※
"What are those two psychopaths doing...... Leko saw two people whispering head to head, then clenching his fists and shouting, feeling more and more that he had chosen to stay.
Lucas Sutton looked at Glory and Godot in the training area in the youth crowd: "It looks like a lot of fighting spirit......
"That's a lot better than you, Lucas." Rico said to Lucas Sutton.
"You have to take care of it!" Lucas Sutton rolls Rico's eyes. "It's you, but people are said to be fast, maybe faster than you!"
"It can't be." Rico is also confident in his speed. "You can't run fast with your shoes on, let alone barefoot. This is natural turf, the soil is soft, if you don't wear shoes, it will be very uncomfortable, and it is not easy to exert force. Moreover, the natural turf is relatively slippery, and it is easy to slip when running barefoot. ”
Lucas Sutton didn't argue with Rico, because he also felt that Rico was right...... Soccer boots are spiked to increase grip and prevent slipping on natural turf, especially freshly watered turf......
※※※
Once again, Glory stood next to youth team coach Waldemar.
Even Waldemar had to look at the glory one more time.
In the end, the gaze naturally fell on the feet of Glory.
That's a pair of big feet...... The ten toes are like the tentacles of an octopus, moving very flexibly, opening together and clasping together at the end.
This pair of feet...... Maybe it's really good for playing football......
Waldemar thought to himself.
Glory's knees were slowly pressing down and then slowly lifting, but his feet were not off the ground, and he was feeling the touch of the turf and the feedback of the force.
"It's about to begin." Waldemar whispered a reminder of Glory.
Then he heard a deep breath coming from next to him.
He ignored it, but blew the whistle in his mouth to remind the other players who took part in the test that the test was on!
He then swept the ball out of the way and passed it to the player on the left in front of him.
When he saw Valdemar pass the football out, Rongguang slowly exhaled the breath he had just taken deeply.
Then he leaned forward slightly, pressed his weight on the ball of his left foot that was bent forward, dragged his right leg behind, bent slightly, lifted his right foot, pointed his toes on the ground, right arm in front, left arm back.
Run!
Run as fast as you can!
Let them see how glorious I am!
The five fingers of Rongguang's left foot clasped tightly, grasping the turf tightly, and the muscles of his left thigh tensed suddenly, and then released the accumulated strength in an instant!
At the same time, he twisted his waist to the right, swung his left arm forward, and threw his right arm behind him, driving his right leg forward and lifting his right foot up. Glory's whole person was like a bullet, and it was shot out in an instant!
By this time, the football had reached the feet of the second player.
※※※
Waldemar, who finished passing the ball, felt a flower in front of him! A red figure flashed by!
Then grass clippings and dirt were thrown on him, and even ...... Face!
He opened his mouth wide and stared dumbfounded at the Chinese boy in the red vest who was away from him in an instant...... He ran to the touchline, which was left by the second player after he went to the middle, and Glory would run there and start turning in, arcing down the left wing of the training area to the ribs behind the opposing defence......
At this time, the wind blew and blew the bangs in front of his forehead.
※※※
"My God......" The fans who were waiting on the sidelines to see the glorious joke were on the same face as Waldemar.
They stared at the inside of the training ground with disbelievable eyes, staring at the red figure!
It was like a red lightning bolt that streaked across the sky above the Brafonta training base!
"What a strong explosiveness!" In the youth team, there were also people who made such exclamations, and then there was no follow-up.
Everyone was suffocated by the speed at which Glory was displayed in an instant.
It's as if there is a strong air pressure blocking their mouths, making them silent!
Lucas Sutton's eyes widened suddenly, and his fists were clenched unconsciously.
And Rico next to him was even more sluggish.
※※※
The second player moved closer to the middle and returned the ball to the third player who took him.
The third player was facing in the direction of Glory, and he saw that Glory had appeared behind the second player, who had just been blocked by the second player, and only poked out the hair on his forehead.
So he shoved the ball diagonally.
Oops, it seems that the passing power is a little bigger, and the timing is a little bit early......
After passing the pass, he realized that he had made a mistake.
But it doesn't matter, no one would expect that red vest to actually catch the ball......
He was quick to comfort himself.
※※※
"It's early." Mauro, who had been watching from the side, couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene.
Damn, it's early!
Godot held his head in his hands and cursed in his heart.
If you spread it early, you won't be able to receive it! Bastard, that kid did it on purpose!
The silver-white soccer ball flies above the dark green turf, and because it does not have to rub against the turf, it is very fast, and it looks like a silver light cuts through the green ground from the air.
It's really hard to catch up with such a fast pass, right?
No...... Wrong!
What is it?
"Huh?" Mauro let out a slight exclamation.
Godot, who had been holding his head in his hands, also stopped pulling his hair, and looked at the training ground in a daze.
※※※
Glory's bare feet clasped their toes as they hit the ground, clutching the turf like an iron plow. And when his legs were pulled back, his toes opened again, and the turf that he had grasped with his toes was turned upside down!
The frequency of his legs was fast, and as he moved on his legs, there was turf and dirt that were constantly turned up, like a tank moving at high speed.
He's got to catch up with football!
Be sure to pass the tryout!
Be sure to make money in Brazil!
If I don't mix well, I won't go back!
But...... Hey?
What about football?
Glory suddenly found himself patronizing and running, but he didn't see the football!
Where's football?
Glory turned back as he ran, and he saw the silver-white ball streak behind him before disappearing from his vision......
He turned his head to look at the other side, where the ball had just flown over the sideline.
How...... What's going on?
How can football be behind me?
He realized that he hadn't received the ball again and finally stopped.
He stretched out his hands and asked Godot from afar, "Am I running too fast, Godot?" There was confusion in his tone, and there was a slight nervousness about making a mistake.
But Godot did not answer him, and no one else responded to him.
There was a sudden silence on the training ground and on the sidelines.
The training ball that was stepped on by someone didn't know when it rolled to the side; After holding it in your hand and waiting for the end of training, the cards and pens signed by your favorite players fell to the ground and became dusty; The whistle that Waldemar had been holding in his mouth fell out of his open mouth and hung down to his chest, no longer shaking, apparently hanging down for some time......
Players from youth teams such as Lucas Sutton and Rico, dozens of fans watching the training, coach Waldemar, new youth director Mauro, Sao Paulo football director Lecco, agent Godot...... Everyone has one thing in common at this moment, and that is their expressions!
Their stunned expressions were as if they had seen a ghost!
"Uh...... What's wrong with you guys? "I was taken aback by the glory of not seeing this formation.
※※※
Godot was the first to react, because he had seen with his own eyes many times how fast Glory was when he was in China, otherwise he would not have been so confident in Glory.
Of course, Rongguang didn't receive the ball, but this test was not to let Rongguang receive the ball, but to test Rongguang's speed! Generally speaking, as long as the speed is fast enough, this back row plug can be able to receive the ball, and it makes sense. Nobody is going to do this back-row plug-in with a slow player.
Glory runs faster than football, which means he's fast, and that's enough!
He wowed, opened his arms and rushed towards the glory. The fat on his waist swayed up and down, left and right as he ran, and it seemed that he could hear the fat swaying inside......
Then he hugged Rongguang: "Well done, Rong!" You really have to scare them! Because you even scared the fucking hell out of me! ”
He was so excited that he even burst into foul language.
He held Glory as if a huge sponge had absorbed Glory directly, and Glory was trapped in his fat.
"I'm out of breath, Godot...... Death, death! ”
Glory struggled in vain in his arms.
※※※
Seeing the funny appearance of the two of them, the people around them reacted.
The crowd of fans outside the training ground was the first to erupt in exclamation.
"Speed...... It's fast! ”
"It's like a gust of wind...... No, it's a bolt of lightning! Red lightning! ”
"What the hell is he coming from?"
"Red vests are actually sprinters, right?"
"So fast! Faster than Ricodu! I thought Rico was already the fastest man in São Paulo's youth team......"
On the training ground, the youth team players also reacted.
Lucas Sutton poked Rico next to him with his elbow, and laughed very lewdly: "Who said it was impossible just now?" This is natural turf, the soil is soft, if you don't wear shoes, it will be very uncomfortable, and it is not easy to exert force......"
He mocked Rico's tone, mocking Rico.
Rico didn't pay attention to Lucas, who was playing treasure next to him, and just said in a very helpless tone: "Although I don't want to admit it, he is really faster than me...... Perhaps, he is faster than Kakadu! ”
After hearing Rico's words, the other teammates next to him reflexively retorted: "It's impossible!" ”
"yes, how can you run faster than Kaka? Kaka is faster! ”
"Rico, are you scared silly?"
"At the very least, his explosive power must be faster than Kaka." Rico insists on its own opinion.
※※※
At the same time, on the sidelines of the training ground, Leko, who had reacted that he had been frightened just now, spoke even worse: "Hmph! I still didn't get the ball! What's the use of saying so much? I don't think São Paulo needs this kind of ......"
At this time, Mauro interrupted him with a smile: "But didn't you say the test speed at the beginning?" His speed is really amazing, he can run faster than the ball, haha! It's so much fun! ”
Leko was surprised to see Mauro so happy: "What do you mean ......"
"You might as well sign him and see how far he can go, Mr Silva." Mauro thought of Rongguang, and after only watching the training once, he knew what to do, and Godot's exaggerated voice sounded in his head: "He has a strong ability to learn!" ”
The director of football at the São Paulo club, nicknamed "Lecco" and whose real name is Carlos Augusto de Barros Silva, opened his mouth again in surprise and his eyes widened. He didn't expect the youth director to be willing to sign that Chinese kid!
In other words, there are a lot of times his expression appears today......
At the age of sixteen, four months and ten days, he became a member of the youth team of the Brazilian giants São Paulo.
The goal of making money by playing football and making a lot of money seems to have finally revealed a little smile from the fog, and she continues to tempt and seduce the high-spirited mountain boy who is fighting to realize his dream.
