The next afternoon, Donn and Chris Lak met Humpty Dumpty and his son Gareth at the Forest Academy. Bel.

"I'm afraid you won't come." Don was delighted to see the father and son.

"Why aren't we coming? Of course we will come, I am very confident in my son's ability, he is a genius! Humpty Dumpty yelled and shook hands with Don and Chrislac.

"Yes. But we still have to do a little bit of a test. Chris Rac was on business, and before he met the father and son, Donn told him about it, and he was worried if it would be another bull that Donn picked up from the street on a whim and couldn't play football.

The father seemed a little unhappy with Chrislac's cold attitude: "What? Do you look down on my son's abilities? ”

Don hurriedly came out and said to the mud, "Coach Chris Rac is serious and responsible, and your son can train under him to make you feel more at ease." Okay, okay, let's go......"

The content of the test is very ordinary, complete some technical movements according to the coach's requirements, and then accept a simple experience, if everything is qualified, you can sign a contract on the spot.

The test lasted for half an hour, and Don tried to keep his face expressionless, or rather a faint smile...... To be honest, he was a little disappointed to see Bale's performance, Chris Rac didn't say anything, maybe he didn't have much hope in the first place.

This is completely different from the Bell in Donn's impression.

Unlike ordinary FM players, although he did learn about this Welsh kid from the game, in order to get a more intuitive impact, he once searched for videos about this kid playing football on famous foreign video websites, and the most impressive thing about Donn in it was Bale's accurate left-footed free kick.

Tricky angles, great power, speed and distance are the hallmarks of Bale's free-kicks, with his first goal in Southampton and Wales coming from a direct free-kick.

During the test, Donn specifically asked Bale to shoot a free-kick, and his reaction at the time was a little confused, and he was completely eager to try without showing his unique skills. It was a little strange to see this, and the performance of the subsequent test made Donn even more puzzled - why the left-back who was skilled at free-kicks in his memory seemed to have never taken a free-kick...... If it weren't for the fact that this kid's left foot skills were really good, Don might have thought he had found the wrong person. Having said that, it is necessary to find two people with the same name, surname, same city, same year, same month, and the same name...... It's really not that difficult.

Fifteen minutes later, the medical report was also delivered to Donne, and with this report and the previous test report, Donn asked the Bell father and son to wait outside for a while, and then walked into the office with Chris Rac and the team doctor, Flement.

The door was closed, and the three of them got together to discuss the results.

Chris Rac asked Donn, "Tony, what do you think?" ”

Don shook his head, "I'd like to hear your opinion first. ”

"I think I can sign it, but whether I can become a good player, I don't know now." Krislak voiced his inner concerns, "This kid is average in all aspects, and his physical fitness is not too bad, barely meeting the requirements of a player. ”

Flement nodded beside him, agreeing with Chrislac. "It's not good, it's not bad."

"Well, it's up to me......" Donn walked to the door, observing the situation outside through the crack.

Gareth. Bell, it's really that person, yes, looks, age, place of origin, and habitual feet...... But why is the situation so different? Could it be that because of his arrival, the world really rippled, pushing the familiar things away from where they were supposed to be?

Humpty Dumpty seems to be reassuring Bell, who is not very emotional, the child is sensitive, and perhaps he already knows that he is not doing well on this test. It was his smug father who was patting the child on the head vigorously and encouraging him. Donn couldn't hear what he said, but he could imagine what it was - "My son must be a genius!" Trust your dad! When did Daddy cheat on you? ”

It's a father and son again...... Looking at them, somehow, Don thought of another father and son. Michael should have started a new life in the United States with his wife now, and maybe they will never see each other again...... Donn turned back to Chris Rak and Flement and said, "Sign him, I'm sure he won't let us down." ”

Chrislak nodded: "Okay, I'll go get the apprenticeship." ”

Don pushed the door open, and the three of them walked out of the office. Humpty Dumpty looked up at Donn, "What are you muttering in there?" Does I still need to have a roundtable to sign my son? I tell you, my son is a genius! If you don't want him, sooner or later you will regret it! ”

That's right, fat man. Southampton will regret it in a few years...... If they remember that their youth team used to have such a number one.

"Before that, Mr. Bell, I want to tell you and your son a story, would you be interested in hearing it?"

The father and son looked at Don En suspiciously, they didn't know why Don En did this, yes or no? What is storytelling? Hungry?

The father shook his head in disagreement, but the son nodded.

"Ahh I listen to you, son. The fat man immediately changed his mind.

Don looked at the funny father and son and laughed. Humpty Dumpty glared at him, "What are you laughing at, what story do you have to tell?" ”

"Well, that's right...... Sean. Wright. Shaun'Wright-Phillips, have you heard the name? ”

Both nodded, and Bale's father added: "The little man of Manchester City." ”

"That's right. He's done a good job at City. But did you know that he was actually cultivated by our forest team? ”

Bell and his son shook their heads.

Even though his home is in London, he travels back and forth to Nottingham every week for training. However, the youth director of the forest team at the time, Paul. Hart told him one day that he wanted him to change clubs, considering that he had come from home to train too far and it would be detrimental to his development...... You know what that means, right? ”

Father Bell nodded: "To put it simply, the little man was driven away. ”

"That's right, Coach Hart thinks Sean. Wright. Phillips was too poor to adapt to professional football, so he found such an excuse to get rid of him. Unexpectedly, this kid later went to Manchester, which was farther away from London than Nottingham. So far, he has played a season and a half in the Premier League and a season in League One for Manchester City, playing 85 games. Hart once said to me...... "Actually, Don doesn't know if Hart actually told his former self, but that doesn't stop him from making it up into the story." "Even if he brings out a star like Jenas and lets Sean go. Wright. Phillips remains his biggest regret. I've said all this to tell you...... The mistakes that Coach Hart made are not going to be repeated in my Donn. ”

He saw that Walker had returned with his contract, so he reached out and patted Gareth. Bell's shoulder: "Good job here, boy." You will succeed. ”

Bell nodded vigorously, even if he didn't talk much compared to normal people, maybe the words were all finished by the father who always likes to chatter.

After signing the contract in Donn's office, Donn reached out and shook Bell. "Very well, you are mine now, say goodbye to your father." Then he waved his hand at Father Bell, and said in a milky voice, "Goodbye, Daddy!" I won't miss you! ”

Everyone in the room laughed, and Bell, who had been straining his face because of his nervousness, finally smiled. Don took out his phone and took a picture of the moment, then handed it to Bell before everyone could figure it out, and asked him to look at his smile on it. "What do you think?"

Bell didn't speak, and his father leaned over and pouted, "It's too vague, shaky." ”

"But you can tell he's laughing, don't you?" Don took a sip of water. Chris Rac and Fleish suddenly realized, yes, they hadn't seen a child laugh since they saw the father and son today.

"Gareth, would you like to hear some advice from me?"

Bell nodded.

'First of all, I want you to switch to left-back from today, and I'll give you more of the reasons later.' After testing, Don found out about this Gareth. Bale didn't play left-back, but left-midfield. But in Donn's eyes, letting the kid play left midfield would be a waste of half of the left hallway, and he wants to develop Bale into the Robert of Real Madrid. Carlos-like figure - at his peak, the entire left side of the pitch was his.

Bell hesitated, but nodded in acceptance.

'Secondly, I want you to try to practice free-kicks and I think you have the talent for that.

Chris Rac looked at Donn, who said this. He was next to him when he was doing a free-kick test just now, but I didn't see any talent at all. He couldn't understand why Donn was so obsessed with getting Bale to take a free-kick.

Bell agreed.

"Finally." Don pulled up the corners of his mouth with both hands, forming an arc with two heads raised, "I want you to be more like this, smiling, confident." ”

As for this, Bell did not immediately nod in agreement. He looked down at his toes, then whispered, "They laughed at me for looking like a monkey......
