Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 20 Trial Training
At the beginning of September, the new semester began. The biggest news of Taixing Middle School these days is that Zhang Yuan, No. 9 in the third grade and the second grade in the previous school year, has dropped out of school!Why is this big news, because Zhang Yuan has two identities, a top student in his studies and the captain of the school football team.All kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky. Don’t think that only adults can gossip. In fact, the tradition of Chinese gossip is also grasped from childhood.Some students said that Zhang Yuan dropped out of school because of illness, some said that Zhang Yuan temporarily dropped out of school because his family had no money, some said that Zhang Yuan’s suspension of school was a fake, and it was true that he stopped studying and went out to earn money. The news is that Zhang Yuan has gone abroad to play football.The last statement is the weakest voice. Everyone knows that it is completely unreliable. The third-to-last statement wins everyone's approval, but no one knows the standard answer.Gu Lin, Zhang Yuan's closest friend, kept silent. When everyone asked questions, he innocently said: "I don't know, I really don't know, he didn't contact me during the summer vacation!"

Of course Gu Lin knew it well, but he hadn't heard from Zhang Yuan for more than half a month, and he just sent him a QQ message to report that he was safe after Zhang Yuan arrived in Italy. QQ is the only method of contact between them, and leaving messages is also the only way of communication, because Gu Lin can only use the Internet cafe on the street after school to surf the Internet. Today Gu Lin plans to go to the Internet cafe on the street to see if there is any latest news!
After school, he didn't bother to eat dinner, so he rushed out of the school gate, plunged into the Internet cafe, and logged on to QQ. Zhang Yuan's QQ profile picture, which hadn't flashed for a long time, flashed today. Gu Lin couldn't wait to open it and read it carefully. far message.

"Gu Lin, hello! It's been a long time since I left a message for you. I remember the last time I left a message for you was when I just arrived in Italy. How are you doing now? How is everything? Are you studying?"

Gu Lin smiled slightly, everything is fine for him now, he is in the third year of high school, he no longer plays football as often as before, and puts all his energy on his studies!My good brother, how are you doing?

"To be honest, this period of time has been very depressing. I gradually feel the gap between ideals and reality. I think I play football very well, but when I get here, I realize how difficult it is! During this time, my agent Morrow Sir, take me here and there, one club after another to try out, I have been to AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, I have also been to two clubs in Rome, and I have been to Atlanta, but unfortunately I failed all of them. I'm almost giving up! No club wants me! I'm really that miserable?!"

Gu Lin said silently in his heart: "My good brother, you are absolutely capable, and you will definitely succeed!"

"I don't believe it, so I will continue to work hard and hope to bring you good news next time!"

After the message was over, Gu Lin finished reading it, thought about it, and started typing on the keyboard.

"Zhang Yuan, everything is fine with me, and I don't play football much anymore. After all, studies are more important after the third year of high school. You know that I want to go to a key medical university, so now I spend all my energy on studying, but occasionally I will Go play football, Sheringham they all ask about you, I didn't tell them about you!"

"I always believe in you. You have strength, your dribbling, your speed, and your unyielding spirit are all your advantages. Gold always shines. I believe you will definitely meet and appreciate you. The club! You must not be discouraged, as long as you are still in the trial training, you still have a chance, you must not give up!"

"Finally, I wish you all the best and that you can realize your dreams as soon as possible!"

After sending it over, Gu Lin heaved a sigh of relief and prayed to God secretly, just open your eyes and help Zhang Yuan!

In far away Bologna, Italy, Moro took Zhang Yuan just after the trial training at the Bologna club. Unfortunately, Zhang Yuan was still not favored. Bologna, this fucking Serie B team, failed Seeing Zhang Yuan, Morrow was very, very depressed!During this period of time, he has taken Zhang Yuan to many teams. Of course, his first choice is the Serie A team. Unfortunately, the reality has hit him a bit hard. He is almost giving up on the rejection of each family. Zhang Yuan sold it as soon as possible, and the signing fee was hundreds of thousands. Forget it, he is now satisfied with getting tens of thousands!

Morrow is a pseudo-football agent. He naturally doesn't know how to do it. Moreover, he just loves football and doesn't know anything about the specific affairs of football. He thinks it is very simple, but it is not as simple as he imagined.For example, for the trial training, he didn't know how to contact the club at all, thinking that he just needed to bring Zhang Yuan there and let them arrange it!Faced with a large group of young people who are actively participating in the trial training, most clubs arrange a trial training game, and then observe and select players, which is basically a coping attitude!He thought that a serious trial training would be like this. Zhang Yuan only started to try out with the top three in the north just like this. He was a little nervous, shy, and he couldn’t understand the language. His teammates came from all corners of the country. , who will pass the ball to him, his characteristic is his strong ability to hold the ball, without the ball at his feet, his advantages cannot be displayed, and naturally he cannot be seen by others.Zhang Yuan is not stupid, and gradually discovered the problem. Few people are willing to pass the ball. He started to grab the ball and take it by himself, trying to show his strengths. Unfortunately, it’s a pity that it’s so good. Most clubs prefer the ball when they choose players. A player with high quotient and team spirit, not a player like Zhang Yuan who seems to have a low quotient and lack of team spirit. If they understand Zhang Yuan's experience during this period, they may change their views, but unfortunately they do not know!As Zhang Yuan's manager, Morrow didn't communicate effectively with any club coaches. He just kept praising his players. When Zhang Yuan performed on the field, it aroused disgust from the coaches, but that's all. That's all!
After failing again and again, Zhang Yuan didn't know that he was going astray, and Mo Luo couldn't give correct advice, so the two could only keep running into walls.

After another failure, neither Zhang Yuan nor Mo Luo was in a good mood. They packed up their things and left the trial training ground of the Bologna club. Even Mo Luo didn't know where to go next, so he had a simple meal at the pizza shop. After dinner, the two of them sat relatively silent in their positions. Zhang Yuan was depressed and hadn't given up yet, while Mo Luo was depressed because of his giving up.Just when Mo Luo was going to tell Zhang Yuan that you should go back to China like this, and we have failed, a strange man's words sounded: "Sorry, can I talk to you?"

Mo Luo didn't know this person, and Zhang Yuan was even less likely to know this person. In Chinese, there is a Chinese saying that you don't hit a smiling face. Facing the smiling strange man, Mo Luo asked, "I don't know if there is anything I can do for you, this gentlemen!"

After getting permission, the strange man sat down on the chair and said, "Well, my name is Emilio Lazzarini, and I'm from Rimini. What's your last name?"

"I'm Thomas Cleo Moreau from Brescia, and this is Zhang Yuan from China! Nice to meet you, Mr. Lazzarini!" Morrow extended his hand, and Lazzarini extended his hand He shook hands with Mo Luo, then shook hands with Zhang Yuan, and said greetings.Zhang Yuan doesn't know anything about Italian, but he has learned some simple greetings in the past few days.

Lazzarini sat down again, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Moro, Mr. Zhang, the thing is like this. I am a scout for the Rimini Football Club. I watched Mr. Zhang's performance just now. I hope Mr. Zhang can participate in the competition." Our tryout!"

There was actually a team that invited Zhang Yuan to participate in the trial training. Moro rekindled hope. Although he knew that Rimini is also a Serie B club, which is far inferior to Bologna, but now there is hope, right? He still has a chance to get one. money!

"Of course, Mr. Lazzarini!" Moreau replied hastily.

"So how about we make an appointment at nine o'clock tomorrow morning?" Lazzarini asked.

"No problem, we will arrive on time!" Bologna is not far from Rimini, about an hour away, and it will be no problem to participate in the trial training tomorrow.

"Then I won't bother you two, it's nice to meet you!" Lazzarini shook hands with Moro and Zhang Yuan to say goodbye, and left his contact number and club address.

Zhang Yuan didn't understand Italian, so naturally he didn't know what they were talking about. After Lazzarini left, Zhang Yuan looked at Moreau's happy expression and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Moreau?"

"Haha, good news, Zhang Yuan, that guy just now was a scout for the Rimini Football Club, and he invited us to the Rimini Club for a trial training!" Mo Luo said excitedly.

"Ah, that's really great!" Zhang Yuan was also very happy.

"Zhang Yuan, we are leaving for Rimini right now. We will stay there tonight and participate in their trial training at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. But this time, please perform well. If it doesn't work, we can only go home! " Moreau smiled bitterly.

Zhang Yuan didn't say a word, this is his last chance, if it doesn't work, he might have to go back to China with this posture!
Rimini is a seaside city in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. It is a small city with a population of 10,000+. Rimini Football Club is also a small club. It was established in 1912 and has long been mixed in the Italian low-level league. , has never played in the top league, and cannot produce a well-known football figure in the long team history.There are many such small football clubs in Italy, and almost every city has its own team, which is more like a part of the life of the locals.

Small clubs are limited by financial problems and naturally have their own way of survival. Rimini Football Club does not invest much in transfers, and relies more on loaning some players from Serie A teams who are temporarily unable to play games. To put it bluntly That's right, it is to be a training institution, and both parties get what they need!

Compared with other big clubs, the Rimini club has no advantage in competing for young player resources due to its lackluster history and insufficient capital investment. Therefore, the players in their youth training system are basically based in the region. There are few players from other regions or foreign countries. Lazzarini, the club’s only part-time scout, can only follow some big clubs to pick up leaks. It’s not his fault. The club has no money, so it’s impossible to conduct scouting on a global scale. For the players, it is impossible for him to go around to inspect the players all day long. All these need money, and the club cannot afford it, so it is a good way to pick up the missing ones. This time he picked up Zhang Yuan, a young man from China.

Lazzarini met Zhang Yuan for the first time in Atlanta. To be honest, like everyone else, he thought that Zhang Yuan did not show superior football intelligence. The distance is fast and the dribbling ability is very strong!Big teams may not like it, but a small club like Rimini can definitely consider signing Zhang Yuan, and there may not be no room for development.

Then he came to Bologna with Moro and Zhang Yuan. This time he found that as a striker, Zhang Yuan is actually good at running. Generally speaking, he summed up Zhang Yuan's characteristics as fast speed, outstanding dribbling ability, The running position is flexible. As for other things, I haven't found anything for the time being. The main reason is that Zhang Yuan didn't touch the ball much in the two games, and there are too few things to make judgments on.However, he still decided to give Zhang Yuan a trial training opportunity, which is a real trial training opportunity, and there may be surprises!
