Green Dragon

Chapter 6 Turning around?

"Drip, drip, drip!"

Three whistles pierced the sky above Finch Farm.

"The three-month trial training has come to the last day today. The four young players from China have all performed very hard. They are diligent and studious, train hard, respect the coach, and are united and friendly..."

Everton's U15 echelon coach Kevin Stie gave a lot of praise, and then changed the subject:
"Unfortunately, with your current strength, you can't meet Everton's requirements for the time being. I hope you will not be discouraged, and continue to train hard in the coming days to improve yourself..."

Then there was a burst of sparse applause. Those young local players didn't show much enthusiasm and retention for these black-haired and black-eyed foreign guests. They even felt that today's team training game was worthless.

After the players had dispersed, Steve shook hands with the Chinese representatives and the young players one by one.

"That goal at the end was beautiful."

In front of Long Shute, the coach said something extra, and then extended his right hand to him:

"You have great speed and physical fitness, but you still need to improve your technique and the way you play the ball."

Long Shute bit his lip and nodded, looking up at the coach.

The sun had just risen to its highest point, and the light was dazzling.

It was clearly a sunny summer, but Long Shute felt as if the sky was about to collapse.

His Everton tour is over!

Although they will accept trial training from other Championship clubs in the future, they all know in their hearts that this trial training has completely failed!
He is going to become a eunuch! -
Long Shute didn't even know how he got out of the training ground until he was blocked by a man in his 30s.

This man looked to be in his early thirties, round and round, with a slightly high hairline and a broad forehead. Under a head of dry yellow hair like a mess of grass, a pair of piercing eyes showed that he was very energetic.

He was looking at Long Shute with a slight smile, trying to slow down his speech: "Hey, little guy, tell me your name?"

His English has a strong Northern Irish accent. Of course, Long Shute must not know this kind of thing.

"Long," he replied to the chubby fellow, "Long-Shute, sir."

"Long?" The other party nodded with a smile, then took out a business card, and still spoke slowly to him, "Are you interested in coming to our place?"

The writing on the business card is very simple, so simple that even Long's special English level can understand it.

This person is called Brandan-Rogers, which translates into Chinese as Brendan Rogers. He is the head coach of the Chelsea club's youth team.

What level of club is Chelsea? After these three months of study, Long Shute, who knew nothing about football before, also learned a little bit.

With the arrival of Russian local tycoon Abumovich and the joining of Portuguese champion coach Jose Mourinho, Chelsea has risen rapidly in just a few years, from a strong team in the ordinary sense to a powerful team. Super powerful, monopolizing the league championship for two consecutive years, added the most terrifying championship contender to the Premier League, which was originally dominated by Manchester United and Arsenal.

"Are you kidding me, sir?" Long Shute asked in disbelief.

Rogers put his hands in his trouser pockets and said with a smile on his face: "I have taken a fancy to your running ability and game attitude in the midfield, so I am willing to provide you with a trial training opportunity, would you like to follow me?" Back to London?"

Chelsea has a lot of money, and their performance in the past two years has been the best in England, but they are still dubbed as local tyrants and upstarts. If they want to increase the background of the rich, they must start from various aspects, such as the stadium, such as scouts, Such as hardware facilities, such as club culture, such as humanistic care, such as... youth training.

Rogers was dug to Chelsea because of his excellent work at the Reading Youth Academy. He also has his own unique way of judging the potential of young players.

What's more, with Chelsea's financial resources, they can bring any player they fancy back to Stamford Bridge, and they don't have to worry about their youth players quitting due to poor treatment.

Since Chelsea and Liverpool are fighting fiercely in the semi-finals of the Champions League, he originally followed several other Chelsea coaches as spies to investigate the status of Liverpool players, but perhaps it was God's will, or he was attracted by the halo of the protagonist, he unconsciously Went to the Everton training camp where the youth training work is even better.

Then he met him.

"Of course, sir." Long Shute nodded vigorously, and his hands even trembled uncontrollably.
-
After hearing the news, Li Bing, the Chinese team leader, felt that this was a surprise. After weighing it, he decided to split into two groups. The other three young players continued to go to Sheffield United to participate in the trial training. The representative accompanied Long Shute to London with an interpreter.

After all, the head coach of the Chelsea youth team nodded, but Sheffield United didn't say anything about that side. Judging from the success rate, it is obvious that this side is more confident.

What's more...London is the capital of the British Empire. Even if it's traveling and shopping to see beautiful women, it's better here.

Rogers himself drove a spacious off-road vehicle, and Li Bing and others squeezed into it unceremoniously, and followed him to the Comba training base on the outskirts of London.

"You guys have a good rest today. The trial training session will be arranged at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Don't be late."

Rogers not only found a three-star hotel for them, but also introduced the surrounding traffic, becoming their waiter.

Of course, Li Bing would not let this enthusiastic coach leave empty-handed. He extended the dinner invitation more enthusiastically, but Rogers, who was eager to return home, rejected their kindness and drove away in a hurry.

"Should we give him a red envelope?"

Li Bing looked at the representative of the sponsor and asked with some headache.

But he also knows that if the Chinese can impress the British, then the Chinese players who have been wandering abroad for these years will not be so miserable...

So he was just talking.
-
When the sun began to slowly descend towards the west the next day, Long Shute and others had already arrived at Komba.

Rogers, who was dressed in sports gear, shook hands with them with a smile, and then called his assistant: "Neil, do a simple test for me."

The young assistant named Neil Beth was also very approachable. He patiently introduced the content of the test, and then the translator conveyed it word by word to Long Shute.

"Understood?" Li Bing asked with concern, and then patted him on the shoulder, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you must do your best."

Long Shute licked his dry lips and gave him a forced smile.
-
After fully warming up, the first event is the [-]-meter sprint without any surprise.

The rich and powerful Chelsea has a high-quality runway, and there is almost no feeling of stiffness when pedaling.

The afternoon breeze seemed to form a coat around Long Shute, and he ran extremely comfortably.

Neil Beth looked at the stopwatch in his hand, showing a somewhat astonished expression.

Rogers, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but raised his chin, and shouted loudly, "Neil? What's the problem?"

"11 seconds 34!" Neil Beth gritted his teeth and answered him, "This time can be ranked among the top in the first team!"

This data surprised the former international Li Bing.

Although manual timing will improve the performance slightly, considering that Long Shute is only 15 years old, if he continues to train, his speed is likely to continue to improve-more importantly...his age is true.

But Rogers' expression didn't change much, he just nodded: "Next item."

30-meter sprint, 10-meter sprint, switchback, 12-minute run, 24-meter pole run...

Neil Beth's expression was numb.

Until Rogers kicked a football to Long Shute's feet, Long Shute, who was not prepared enough, obviously had a mess under his feet.

"Uh……"

Neil Bass scratched his hair: "It's really rough dribbling..."

From the beginning to the end of the test, including the rest time, it took less than half an hour in total, but Long Shute was a little out of breath. He sat down on the bench beside the field and listened to Rogers and Bess talking quickly.

He has already used the strength of breastfeeding, which is already his full strength.

It is even 120% strength.

If he still can't impress these coaches, then he can only accept the fate of being castrated by the system.

After all... the weakest system in history didn't give itself any cheats.

Long Shute, who was panting, saw Rogers smile at him.

Then he grinned too.

"I'm pleased to inform you, Long," the Chelsea youth director extended his right hand a second time, "Chelsea Academy welcomes you as a member of our team."
