501 The unbearable lightness of life
readx;
Walcot dragged his heavy body out of the lab, tiredness written on the door of his head, and it was clear that anyone could see it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But even worse than the tiredness is that he seems to lack fighting spirit!
He has never been a child who likes to fight, he goes to school in a proper manner, he studies seriously, he trains at a glance, he is perfect in almost everything, even in the Red Rebel Academy, he has always been the most top-notch type.
He is smart, hardworking, and talented, and his exposure to the Red Rebels' tactical system since he was a child has made him more aware and familiar with the tactical characteristics of the Red Rebels than anyone else, which has allowed him to integrate into the first team better than anyone else.
The result was a career that no one of his peers could dream of, with a much-anticipated game, a blockbuster debut, a startling sponsorship, a dizzying accolade and now even a belief that he should be named for the England squad.
Oh my God, not so long ago he was just an ordinary apprentice in the Red Rebel Academy, and this change must have come too quickly, right? It was so fast that he almost couldn't get used to it.
Becoming famous and having fans, Walcoat gradually realized that he could not disappoint them, whether it was the club, the manager, the fans, or even the experts who were optimistic about him.
So he started to want to perform better, and he started to be afraid of making mistakes, so when he had the option to break through on his own, when he chose to hit the door by himself, he would make a move that even he felt afraid of at that moment.
Mr. Mourinho sent him back to the reserves and youth teams, and many of his former teammates looked at him with envy and laughed at him behind their backs, which made him feel very uncomfortable, and he was eager to prove himself, but the result was that his performance was getting worse and worse, even in the reserves and youth teams.
"Take your time, you're in trouble, little tiger, be brave enough to face it and solve it!" Muhrensteen always comforted him with kind words, but the more Mulenstin did this, the more uncomfortable Walcott felt.
It is good for a teenager to become famous, but many times, the pressure brought by becoming famous as a teenager is enough to crush a person.
Walking into the dressing room, Walcott, who had thought he would be the last to leave, found that Curtis, Kaka, Messi and Cech were all there, which made him a little surprised and a little trembling at the same time.
Standing in front of him are the club's top stars, who have made a name for themselves and made a name for themselves all over the world, while Walcott is just a fledgling kid who is nothing in front of them.
"What's the matter, Theo, don't you like to see us?" Kaka walked over with a smile.
Curtis put his shoulder on his shoulder and pointed at Messi, "Or you don't like to see this guy?" ”
Everyone burst into laughter, but Walcott quickly shook his head and said no.
"Don't be nervous, Theo, we're kidding, we're teammates, shower and change in a locker room, we're equal, relax, we're friends!" Kaka smiled and patted Walcott on the shoulder.
"Yes, I've heard that a lot of new young players in English clubs now have to scrub the shoes of old players, which is a tradition in English clubs, but we Red Rebels don't, because in our club, we are all about equality, you and we are equal!" Cech said in his slightly jerky English.
"Look, Ricardo, Peter speaks like a philosopher!" Curtis teased.
Everyone burst into laughter, and even Walket couldn't help but laugh, greatly diluting the strangeness between each other.
"Wait a minute, what's going on?" Cech asked.
Walcott shook his head, not knowing what the big brother was going to do.
"Don't you have a girlfriend?" Curtis stabbed out and asked suddenly.
Walket shook his head, the focus of his life is football and studies, and he really hasn't had a girlfriend, but a friend said before that he would introduce a very beautiful girl to him, but he has been at a low ebb recently, and he is not in the mood to pick up girls.
"Oh my God, you should hit the wall! When I was 15 years old, I began to know how to pick up girls, and I ...... "Curtis looked very exaggerated, telling his history of prestige in front of everyone, but I'm afraid no one will delve into how much of it is true and how much is false.
"Don't brag about it, when you signed a professional contract with the club, you had 3 girlfriends? Who believes! Kaka shook his head in disbelief, he felt that Curtis was getting more and more able to blow now.
"Hmph, people who are still virgins aren't qualified to comment on me, are they, are they, Peter!" Curtis retorted.
Kakaton said that he and his girlfriend still maintain a pure relationship, and he once said in an interview with the media that he would keep his virginity until the day he got married, and so did his girlfriend.
Once again, the crowd burst into laughter.
Walcott was soon pushed by the big brothers to take a shower and change into dry clothes, and the group all squeezed into Cech's Audi SUV and slowly left the training base.
…………………… Walk to the top of the Red Rebels Stadium and look down from one of the corners for an unobstructed view of the entire stadium.
Green lawns, red seats and green-gold passages in the stands, quietly, staff are tending to the turf.
For the second year in a row, it has been voted one of the best courses and turf in Europe, and the Red Rebels have always taken such details very seriously.
As if he were stroking his own child, Cech gently stroked each seat in front of him, walked down the stairs, slowly, with his slender fingers sweeping over each seat until he came to the fence of the stands on this level, turned around, leaned back against the fence, and couldn't help but smile.
"I still remember that when Mr. Xiao Yu told me that he was going to build such a new stadium, I was not much older than you at that time, I was very surprised, and I even thought at that time, if one day, the club really built such a stadium, would I still have the opportunity to play there?"
Curtis, Kaka, Messi and Walcott all came to his side, browsing the quiet stadium, but the excitement and excitement in his heart are difficult to describe.
For the players who came out of the Red Rebels Academy, this is their football temple!
Playing here is the biggest dream of their lives!
"At that time, Mr. Xiao Yu told me that he was also under great pressure on his shoulders, just like I was at the time, but he was not as lacking confidence as me, on the contrary, he always believed that everything would be better, so he slowly waited for the opportunity, and then seized, which led to our Red Rebel Stadium and our later glory!"
Xiao Yu would never have thought that Cech would say those things back then, he just wanted Cech to help Walcott with his personal experience, who knew that Cech would use such a method.
'I was very unconfident at the time, I doubted myself, I joined the team as a talented goalkeeper and I didn't get the chance to play for a long time, do you know what it was like when I first trained with the team? Cech asked Walcoat amusedly.
The latter shook his head.
"I was knocked off the pitch by Mr Mourinho!"
"What?" Walket was taken aback and looked at Curtis and Kaka.
Curtis and Messi, who were in the know, nodded in affirmation.
"At that time, Peter had never been trained as a professional goalkeeper, and he didn't even know that he had to put a bandage on his ankle, so he was scolded by the old guy and blasted off the pitch." Curtis said with a smile.
Walcoat was shocked, he would never have thought that the super goalkeeper who was standing in front of him now, known as one of the best in today's football, would have such an unbearable past, but when he saw him talk about it, the smile on his face did not feel pimple at all.
"I have to thank Mr Mourinho, he made me understand in the first training session that only people who pay attention to detail can be successful, but I didn't think about it at the time, and then I started to shake my confidence because I didn't play for a long time, but Mr. Xiao Yu appeared."
"He didn't say a lot of good things, he didn't say anything encouraging or acknowledging me, he just told me that if you want to be successful, you must be able to endure loneliness, be able to withstand pressure, regain confidence in yourself, be ready anytime, anywhere, wait for the opportunity, and once the opportunity comes, then seize him in one fell swoop!"
At this point, Cech couldn't help but smile again, thinking back to the experience he had when he first joined the team, Cech felt that without that experience, he wouldn't be where Peter is today. Cech, especially Xiao Yu's reminder to him in the first place.
"I'm reading the famous Czech novelist Milan right now? Kundera's book, The Unbearable Lightness of Life, says: If eternal return is the heaviest burden, then our lives can compete with it in all its splendor. However, is it really tragic to be heavy, but is it really brilliant to be light? ”
"The heaviest burden weighed down on us, and we sank, pinning us to the ground. … Perhaps the heaviest burden is also a symbol of the fullest life, and the heavier the burden, the closer our life will be to the earth, the closer it will be to the real and real. On the contrary, without any burden at all, man becomes lighter than the atmosphere, and will fly high, leaving the earth, that is, from the real life. ”
Walcoat was stunned, he quickly understood the deep meaning of Cech's words, and he also understood why these teammates were still in the dressing room at this time, they were not idle and bored to do nothing, nor did they want to pull themselves out to chat on a whim, but wanted to help him through the current predicament.
It made him feel a lot of emotion in his heart, for his team-mates, for being able to play for such a club.
"I'm in a similar situation to you, Peter, I only had a measly 18 minutes of group stage experience in the Brazilian national team in the early stages of the 2002 World Cup, and I felt like a dispensable passer-by, and I had some doubts about my own strength, and I even wanted to give up on myself."
Kaka thinks back to his first World Cup trip and he thinks it was like a dream, full of ups and downs, completely unexpected, and it was a World Cup that he really made a name for himself and he will always remember.
"But at this time, Mr. Xiao Yu told me that I must have confidence in my own strength, he said, if I am not strong enough, Scolari will not take me to Asia at all, will not give me any chance at all, and I can be selected for the Brazilian national team, which in itself is a recognition of my strength, what I have to do is to maintain confidence and wait for the opportunity!"
'The next thing everybody knows, Ronaldinho was suspended for a red card against England and I knocked on the door of the Scolari hotel the day before the semi-final, I dissected my thoughts with him and told him that I was ready and confident enough to do whatever he gave me.
"Originally, I thought I didn't have a chance, but who knows, the next day I started the game, so I desperately seized the opportunity and tried to show myself, even when I couldn't prove my strength, I had enough confidence in myself, because I believe that only when I am full of confidence, I can play my best and strength!"
Walcoat had heard about Kaka, and even though he was still young at the time, it had been rumored since then, and it was impossible for him as a fan not to know about it, but he didn't know that there was such a psychological process behind it.
The two parties dissect their past in front of themselves, and while their past experience is unbelievable compared to their current status as the world's top players, their success itself is the most convincing.
"Theo, no one is perfect from the start, everyone grows up with bumps and bumps, so that's why we have the training tradition of our Red Rebels' first team."
"Whoever gets scolded the most by the old guy and gets the worst punishment will be on the throne!" Messi took Curtis's words and said with a smile, which is also known as a unique feature of Mourinho's tuning of players.
But it's no wonder that Curtis, Terry, Drogba, Evra, Essien and others, almost every one of them came through Mourinho's scolding and punishment, and now each of them is a well-known and powerful player in Europe.
Although it is very uncomfortable to be punished, if you see punishment as a kind of encouragement and help, then the state of mind will be different.
"Since the old guy promoted you to the first team, it proves that you have enough strength to establish yourself in the first team, since the old guy chooses to let you start, it proves that you have enough strength to take on this heavy responsibility, and the only thing you need to do is to do your best to play your own strength and level, without any other scruples."
Kaka also took Curtis's words, patted Walcoat on the shoulder, and encouraged: "We all think you can, you should work hard, no matter how you are also the top student of our academy, you can't lose to a poor student like Cristiano, otherwise our academy will be too a failure!" ”
Kaka also made a rare joke about Xiao Xiaoluo, but the Portuguese was not present, otherwise, if he knew that the scar of his poor reading performance was revealed and laughed at, it is estimated that he would go crazy!
