Big back

Chapter 38 The Red Vest
The team lost the game against Valencia with a score of 2:6. In this game, Valencia's young player Alcacer was brilliant. Not only did he perform a hat-trick, but also once Assists, even Vilanova commented that this little guy has already stood at the top of players of his age and has the strength to enter the first team.

Witnessing the rise of a new star is something that is enjoyable and worth looking forward to on other occasions, but if this expectation is built on Barcelona, ​​​​it will make many people feel painful. , It seems that Vilanova, or the other young players in the stands, all looked sad on the way back.

However, there are also things that make them feel comforted, that is, Bojan's performance is also very good. He scored the two goals of Barcelona. Although it does not help the overall situation, it can be regarded as saving a little face for the team.

Fan Bizhuang doesn't care about these things. For him, everything has nothing to do with him. He is just an unnoticed football apprentice. Although it seems that there is a glimmer of light in the road of football now, but before the light comes, He still had to struggle and wander in the dark.

Days have returned to their previous peaceful trajectory.

The young players were tortured by the head coach who was furious because of the loss on the training ground, while Fan Bizhuang was in the corner, accepting the "abuse" of Vilanova.

His training programs gradually increased and became more cumbersome. In addition to facing passes from nowhere and running back and forth with footballs tied, he also had to tie footballs on both legs In the case of the situation, practice fast dribbling training, as well as slalom, and leapfrog...

Vilanova’s ideas are quite wild. Fan Bizhuang thinks some projects are very good and can improve his football ability, while some projects make him feel inexplicable, such as holding a huge tire mat. Jumping around corners...

Well, Fan Bizhuang really suspected that Vilanova was using the pretext of special training to "retaliate" himself, but he did not show resistance. He would do what the other party said, and his temper In addition to being indifferent, he was also very stubborn, but more importantly, he didn't want the guy with the same sudden face as him to show contempt.

But in his heart, Fan Bizhuang was looking forward to the scene of one day in the future when he would be able to take off his shoes and slam them on the opponent's face.

Of course, the day of revenge is far away, and Fan Bizhuang has to continue to sink in reality. What makes him speechless is that Vilanova seems to have found a fresher way to play.

When Fan Bizhuang came to the training ground again, there were already a lot of long black sandbags standing in his exclusive corner. Around the sandbags, there were still many young players watching. Pointing.

Fan Bizhuang, who was puzzled, soon realized the usefulness of these sandbags.

When he got inside with the football strapped to his legs, Vilanova called in a few helpers and the sandbag was pushed and started rocking from side to side.

"Now practice your confrontation ability. Yes, you need to try your best to maintain your figure under the impact of sandbags and pass the football to the designated place."

Bilanova's explanation is more like an unquestionable order, so under such an order, Fan Bizhuang started his new journey.

The team's daily training is extremely boring, but the young players are very excited recently, because they can enjoy a Chaplin-style drama under Enrique's devilish training at the same time—— The dense sandbags swayed constantly, and Fan Bizhuang, who was in it, was like a small boat floating on the sea, constantly being overturned, getting up again, and then being overturned again and again, standing up again, and the cycle repeated.

People are like this, they have been tortured to the point of exhaustion, and when they see others in a more miserable situation than themselves, they will comfort themselves and feel that their life is simply too happy.

Whether it is bitter or not, whether it is tired or not, whether it hurts or not, look at poor Fan Bizhuang, all pain and sorrow can be swept away.

.....................................................................................................................

If the initial ball-stopping training is regarded as easy and difficult, then the subsequent training programs gradually become difficult mode, hell mode.

Up to now, Fan Bizhuang no longer knows how to describe this difficulty, is it the abuser mode?Well, that should be it.

Although every time he stood up after being knocked down by sandbags, he wanted to rush out of the sandbag forest and knock down the owner of the half-smiling cheek next to him, but Fan Bizhuang still forced himself to endure it.

Time passed quickly. During Fan Bizhuang's tormented period, the Barcelona reserve team often went out to play some games besides training. Some were youth group leagues, and some were friendly matches with surrounding teams.

Fan Bizhuang felt like an outsider. He would accompany the team wherever they went, but that was all. He seemed to be only a spectator forever. Apart from sitting on the audience stand, everything else had nothing to do with him. He has nothing to do.

Lauren has worked hard in training, and he is about to get the red vest of his dreams. Hefferen and Krosas have also entered the main lineup. Bojan, who has performed well both in training and in competitions, has begun to emerge. Now He is already the unshakable main striker of the reserve team, and even has a faint tendency to become the core of the offense.

There are also a few new faces on the training field. The only ones Fan Bizhuang knows are Baltra and Dos Santos. The former left the team for a while due to injury, and the latter is the B team he "taught" Little milk boy, now he has also been promoted to the reserve team and is very appreciated by the head coach.

Fan Bizhuang has seldom participated in the team's rivalry. He really wanted to verify the training results during this period, but Vilanova directly deprived him of this right. His daily tasks now include cleaning the training ground, It's just training and... training.

Fan Bizhuang seems to have once again become a transparent person on the training ground. Except for some new players who will cast curious glances into the corner, other players have long been accustomed to this scene.Apart from the fact that coach Vilanova's new idea of ​​torturing Fan Bizhuang made them laugh for a while, there was nothing to say.

Sometimes, Fan Bizhuang doubted that his aimless training would serve any purpose besides embarrassing himself.He even wanted to vent his anger directly, beat Vilanova and Enrique into pigs' heads, and then leave gracefully, never stepping into the gate of the La Masia training camp again.

Such thoughts appeared in his mind more than once, and several times he almost put them into action.

But in the end, he was still in the corner, in his own little world, doing whatever Vilanova arranged for him over and over again.

.....................................................................................................................

Enrique stood outside the training ground, flipping through the files and records sent by his assistants. Vilanova was beside him, not saying a word, but looking at the lonely figure in the corner from time to time.

"It's not bad. This group of players has been working hard recently and has made great progress, especially a few little guys who have performed extremely well. It seems that they will not stay here for too long."

Enrique closed the notebook, nodded and said this, and then smiled at Vilanova, "Frank mentioned to me a few times that his team is short of people recently. Ha, it really is. I'm not a brainless idiot, that guy must have taken a fancy to a few good seedlings from me. He wants to get people from me, hehe!"

"It's just a matter of time." Vilanova shrugged and said to the point, "It seems that the performance of some little guys has attracted the attention of the first team."

"Yes, sooner or later, as the reserve team of the first team, it is our job to continuously deliver fresh blood and excellent seedlings to the club." Enrique shook his head and sighed again, "It is our job to be able to serve the club well." It is a very fulfilling thing for the club to do its best to contribute. It’s just that every time it comes to this time, I still feel a little bit sad. After all, I bring out the players by myself. They are like my children. Here, I can protect them from the wind and rain, but after leaving here and truly stepping into the professional arena, what the future will look like, whether it is sweet or bitter, can only be tasted by them, we... can't do anything."

"The eaglets will leave their mothers one day and fly high. How can they see the gorgeous rainbow after the rain without going through hardships and tribulations." Vilanova is not a person who likes to leak emotions. His reaction is very calm. "If you watch a lot, you will get used to it. I just hope that they can be firm in their hearts, no matter where they are in the future, what achievements they have made, success or failure, they can remember why they took the path of professional football. It’s enough not to let yourself regret it.”

"It's enough not to let yourself regret it." Enrique froze for a moment, chewing on this sentence repeatedly, and then smiled again, "Tito, sometimes I think you shouldn't be a football coach, Really, I feel like you might be more successful if you went into philosophy."

"maybe."

Enrique didn't continue on this topic, he glanced at the far corner, and brought the topic to Fan Bizhuang again.

"How's Fan? You've tortured him enough during this time, and he hasn't blown up yet. To be honest, I'm really surprised."

"I'm not surprised at all, or rather, I know he will throw the shoe in my face one day." Vilanova thought of a day in the future when he would be hit in the face by a smelly shoe In the scene, I suddenly laughed, "It's almost there. If we continue, there will be no obvious improvement. I can only do this. The rest is to use more games to practice. Can you To learn from it, and how much to learn, can only be seen by himself.”

"I'm looking forward to the day when you get hit in the face by Fan with a shoe." Enrique also smiled, then nodded, "Okay, let him train with the team again tomorrow, by the way, there just happens to be a training match, tomorrow Then you can see the results of our special training."

"En." Vilanova was noncommittal, and glanced at his immediate superior, "Give him the red vest."
