Champion’s Heart

...The genius boy is determined to join Barcelona, ​​which will start the trend of a new generation of Chinese players studying abroad!

On the court, a teenager ran to Zhou Yi who was juggling the ball with a newspaper: Zhou Yi Zhou Yi, this He Ying is from your reality show, right?

Of course. Zhou Yi replied while juggling the ball.

Then why didn't you go to Barcelona?

Hey, I don't like Barcelona! Zhou Yi raised the ball above his head and stopped the football with his forehead.

It's a lie, it's almost like Barcelona looks down on you! The boy snorted.

The young man looked at the photo of He Ying in the newspaper again, and said in a tone full of longing: Barcelona...is amazing! If only I could play football in Barcelona!

Barcelona is so big. When you travel, take a football with you and kick it casually. Isn't that considered playing in Barcelona? Zhou Yi said, staring at the football above his forehead.

Who said he was playing football in Barcelona! I mean FC Barcelona! Camp Nou! At Camp Nou! the boy said angrily.

Zhou Yi let the football fall from his forehead and caught it with his feet.

Camp Nou? It's not difficult. Let me give you an idea. After you arrive in Barcelona, ​​​​visit the Camp Nou. When you visit the bench, throw the football into the field! Then rush in... ...isn't that fulfilling my wish to play at Camp Nou?

Seeing Zhou Yi being so unscrupulous, the boy rolled his eyes: I won't tell you anymore!

But only a few seconds later, the boy couldn't help but ask again: Hey, Zhou Yi. When are you leaving?

It's still a while, we have to wait for Dortmund to complete the formalities. Zhou Yi continued to juggle the ball.

Well, in fact, Dortmund is also good. At any rate, you can play in a real football club. Unlike us, you can only play in this crappy place...

Zhou Yi smiled and said nothing.

You said there will be a second season of The Heir to the Green Field?

The response is so good, should there be?

Then I'm going to sign up too! I'm going to be picked by Barcelona too!

Just you? First try to see if you can grab the ball from under my feet.

Zhou Yi suddenly picked the football over the boy's head and ran behind him.

Hey, underestimate me! The boy turned around and chased after him.

The two chased each other on the football field covered with a layer of loess, their shadows were drawn very long by the setting sun.

The club's general manager Zhang came out of the office and saw He Ying waiting outside.

Seeing General Manager Zhang coming out, He Ying also stood up.

General manager Zhang had a smile on his face: Okay, He Ying. In two weeks, you will be a Barcelona player!

When He Ying heard these words, a relaxed smile appeared on his previously tense face.

Look, I didn't lie to you, did I? I said that our club encourages and is happy to see players go abroad to play and improve their strength. This time the club really didn't create any obstacles for you.

Thank you, Uncle Zhang. He Ying smiled and thanked.

You're welcome. We all hope to see more outstanding players emerge from our country. If you have any problems in life over there, you can contact me at any time, and I will help you solve them. General Manager Zhang patted He Shadow's shoulders.

He really appreciates such a good seed cultivated by the club's youth training system. The absolute main force of the national youth team, as long as there is any accident, the future is simply limitless.

However, if he continues to stay in the country, it may cause some interference to his future. Such a fine talent. Play in China. There is no longer any breakthrough. He has to go to a high-level place, receive high-level football training, and compete with high-level opponents in order to grow up quickly.

General Manager Zhang usually serves as a guest commentator for the Serie A broadcast on TV, and he has an international perspective. He is very clear about how much progress young players can make in a high-level football environment.

The most important thing to play abroad is to be self-reliant and self-disciplined. I will take care of myself, Uncle Zhang. He Ying declined the general manager's kindness.

You... General manager Zhang was also familiar with He Ying's temper, so he responded to such an answer. He just shook his head and didn't say anything.

Come on, the hope of our national football lies in your generation.

I will, Uncle Zhang. This is also the motivation for me to play football abroad. He Ying said seriously.

Zhou Yi, I'll tell you, I'll tell you. I've been spotted by Chelsea!

Zhou Yi had to hold the phone away from his ears, because Sun Panhou's voice was too loud.

The club told me today! Damn! I thought I was dreaming! It's so cool! Chelsea! Sun Pan was still yelling.

Don't be too happy, what if your team doesn't let you go? Zhou Yi poured cold water on him, otherwise the kid could continue to yell for an hour, and the same sentence was repeated over and over again, Damn, Chelsea has taken a fancy to me!

They dare! As a result, Sun Pan became even more excited. If they don't let me go, I'll quit the team! I'm a free agent, and Chelsea doesn't have to pay a penny, just right!

Okay, okay, you are awesome. I just said it casually, you don't have to take it to heart. Zhou Yi quickly comforted him.

Anyway, I'm determined to go abroad this time. It's boring to mess around in China. It's better to go abroad. And there are big wild horses abroad, blond big wild horses! I want to win glory for the country and plant the world!

You can't think of anything normal? Zhou Yi was speechless about Sun Pan's motivation to go abroad to play football.

Isn't this normal? Reproduction is the instinct of human beings...

Okay, you've been with Yang Muge for two months, and you can say something like that. By the way, how about Yang Muge? Zhou Yi tactfully changed the subject.

Old Yang? He's not bad either. He seems to have been spotted by a German club... but which one... I don't know. Old Yang doesn't seem to know either.

Huh? German club? That's not bad, you're in the same country as me! Zhou Yi was very happy.

Yes. You can still meet often in the future. Maybe you can meet each other in the game!

Hey, what about Old Guo?

Old Guo? I don't know, I have no contact with him...

After Sun Pan said a word, he began to chatter about his happy life in Europe.

However, Zhou Yi never let go of the name Guo Nu in his heart.

The few of them have the best relationship in the reality show. Now I, He Ying, Sun Pan and Yang Muge are all interested in European teams, so what about Guo Nu?

Does he also have a team interested in him?

If everyone went to Europe, and only Lao Guo stayed in China...would he feel lost?

He remembered the first time when everyone went to visit the La Masia football school. Guo Nu looked up at the pictures of Barcelona stars on the wall full of longing.

Like a child looking at his dream birthday present.

But it is a pity that Barcelona finally chose He Ying and did not take a fancy to him.

At that time, everyone was congratulating He Ying, but Zhou Yi saw the disappointment in Lao Guo's eyes.

I hope he can have a good home too...

Liu Zhi, is there a player named '' in our first team? A club staff member in a suit and leather shoes found the coach of the first team, holding a fax paper in his hand.

What's your name? Coach Liu, who was wearing a tracksuit, didn't hear clearly.

For convenience, I handed over this piece of paper directly.

This is... Coach Liu couldn't understand.

The fax was sent from the Inter Milan club. They are asking about a player named '' in our club. They may be interested in him. The club staff explained.

Inter Milan? Hey! Who is so good in our team? Has it attracted the attention of the Italian giants?

So let me ask you. Does our first team have such a number one? How can I remember that there is no one?

Well, let me take a look... Coach Liu picked up the paper and looked it over carefully, Is this surnamed Guo? Our first team has two players surnamed Guo, but they all have three-letter names...Guo... angry?

After spelling out the name, Coach Liu's eyes lit up: It's him!

Do you know who it is?

I know too well! The youth team is known as a troublesome person with a very bad temper. He is not tall. But his physical fitness is extremely good. Wasn't he sent by our club to participate in the reality show of The Successor of the Green Green some time ago? Challenging European giants youth teams with impromptu teams... It makes sense to say that, it seems that they were spotted when they were playing against giants youth teams. Several of those people were spotted by European clubs Up. He Ying, you know, right?

The staff nodded: National youth champion.

Yes! People are going to Barcelona!

So powerful? The staff were all stunned. When can Chinese players get involved with Barcelona?

He was not so surprised that he had a relationship with Inter Milan. After all, there was a young goalkeeper who went to Inter Milan for trial training before and it was reported that Inter Milan had taken a fancy to him.

Not only that, that Zhou Yi was originally a high school student, but because he participated in this program, now he is attracted by Dortmund! From an amateur player to a youth team player of a professional football club! His whole life has changed! Coach Liu said with joy, it seems that he must have fallen in the first episode of The Successor of the Green Grass, and he has watched it all.

I didn't expect that kid Guo Nu to be spotted too. Let me tell you, we have talent from Hubei! The level of our club's youth training is also very high, no worse than those in Shandong, Liaoning, and Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou! The team's players can be recognized by the European giants. Coach Liu, a football player, is really happy from the bottom of his heart.

Hey, where are you going? He was talking happily, when he saw the other party turn around and leave.

Go to the youth team!

Mom, I want to go abroad to go to university. Zheng Lulu walked to the door of the living room, hesitated, and whispered to her mother who was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Her mother was taken aback for a moment at first, but she quickly came to her senses and turned to look at her daughter in surprise: My baby, have you finally figured it out? Oh, I just told you, we have the ability to send you abroad Studying abroad, what about the college entrance examination! Look at you going to bed so late and waking up so early every day. You can't finish your homework and exams, and your skin will get worse! By then, a twenty-year-old will look like a four-year-old Like a ten-year-old... Tell me, where you want to go, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada... Your mother can help you...

I want to study in Germany... Zheng Lulu bit her lip and lowered her head.

What?! Mom raised her voice in surprise.

No... can't you? Zheng Lulu raised her head, looked at her mother, and mustered up her courage to say, If it doesn't work, then I won't go abroad.

No, eh no... Germany, Germany is fine too. But baby, why Germany?

Can't it be Germany? Can't a German mother handle it? Zheng Lulu asked back.

Uh, no, no problem, Germany is no problem! As long as you are willing to study abroad, you can go anywhere!

Zheng Lulu laughed and said to her mother, Thank you, Mom.

Thank you. I'm your mother!

It was another Monday, and many students seemed to have not recovered from the relaxed feeling of Saturday and Sunday holidays. They stood listlessly in front of the flag-raising platform, and some people yawned exaggeratedly, squinted and stood in the line, shaking. shaking. It seemed that he might fall asleep on the ground at any time.

But soon. There was a commotion among the students, because they discovered that the old principal Lin Xianrong had appeared on the rostrum!

Isn't the old principal not attending the flag-raising ceremony every Monday? Why are you here today? Is today any special day?

When everyone was discussing and feeling strange, Lin Xianrong stepped forward and stood in front of the microphone.

I know that my classmates are surprised by my arrival. You must think that I am too old to leave the office door, right?

Lin Xianrong's first sentence amused many students, and there was a burst of laughter from the audience.

The students were laughing, dozing off and yawning away.

But the teachers were frightened. When did Mr. Lin say such witty words?

Whether it is Wang Shunquan or other school leaders, the head teachers and teachers of all classes in the audience. They all looked at their principal with surprised eyes. They felt that they didn't know Mr. Lin at all.

That's why I should come. I'm here today to take up some of your time. I hope to chat with you classmates. Because recently I met a peer of you, and he made me realize that I might spend time in the office. It's been too long, and I almost don't know what the young people are like now, so I want to chat with everyone, maybe you can make me younger?

Seeing Lin Xianrong talking like this, Wang Shunquan's mouth was so open that a light bulb could be directly inserted into it. The old principal, who is rigorous in his studies, is a very serious person. When will he play with the students at the flag-raising ceremony?

But the students seldom paid attention to it, looked at the rostrum with great interest, and listened carefully to the leader's speech.

This is really the first time.

※ ※ ※

Have you brought enough things? For the clothes you are wearing, it is still very cold in Germany in winter. You should keep warm. It will cool down after this time. I checked the weather forecast... Slippers, have you brought your slippers?

Zhou Jianliang squatted on the ground, in front of him, Zhou Yi's big box was open, and he was rummaging through the scene, talking while rummaging.

Zhou Yi stood beside him very helplessly: Dad, you have checked this way three times at home.

What do you know? Never forget to take something when you go out? But this time is different. You go far and walk for a long time. If you forget to take something, it will be difficult. Of course, you must be careful! Passport, passport Yet?

Here... Zhou Yi helplessly raised the little red book in his hand.

Put it away, put it away. Zhou Jianliang quickly waved his hand, Don't shake it in your hand, what if you drop it? This thing is very important, you can't lose this if you lose anything!

Oh, Dad, I've also been abroad...

What Zhou Jianliang was still talking about, his wife Li Cuiyun went up and snatched the box, and then clasped it hard: Okay! Why are there so many things? If you don't have enough clothes, go there and buy them by yourself. You can't even live alone Stop playing football!

Zhou Yi stood on his mother's side this time: That's right, Dad, don't worry, I'm not a three-year-old anymore.

What do you know? Zhou Jianliang said to his wife this time, Zhou Yi is not familiar with the place where he was born, and he can't speak the language outside, so it's not easy to live alone...

Can't learn the language? He has to rely on himself, and he can't rely on us for the rest of his life, right? Li Cuiyun did not back down.

Just when even individuals are fighting. Tim Kiester finally appeared.

see him. Zhou Yi let out a sigh of relief, and Zhou Jianliang and Li Cuiyun were too embarrassed to quarrel in front of outsiders.

Mr. Kist, I will leave my son to you, please. Zhou Jianliang enthusiastically shook Kist's hand, shaking it constantly.

Don't worry, Mr. Zhou. Zhou Yi is the treasure of our club. I will take care of him. I will never let him lose a single hair! Kist said with a smile in Chinese.

What's so ignorant about a child, take more care and more care... Zhou Jianliang was still shaking his hand.

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes beside him.

No, Mr. Zhou. Zhou Yi is a very sensible child.

Look! Zhou Yi snorted. As expected of a scout, this vision is good! You can see my connotation at a glance!

Shut up! You're still panting after being polite! Zhou Jianliang glared at Zhou Yi.

Li Cuiyun couldn't bear to watch it anymore: If you don't let go, they won't have time to go through the security check.

Only then did Zhou Jianliang let go of Kistor's hand, but he was still urging: Thank you, Mr. Kistor, I will trouble you to take care of him along the way...

Then he said to Zhou Yi: Call home when you arrive, don't be afraid to spend money, it can't be saved.

I know. I know, Dad. Zhou Yi turned his eyes to his mother for help. He felt that if he continued like this, he would not be able to leave today.

Li Cuiyun coughed: Do you not want your son to go to Germany to play football? I have no objection...

Zhou Jianliang immediately waved to Zhou Yi and Kester: Goodbye! Have a safe journey!

...in him, there were a lot of things in him that us old guys would consider flaws. If we continue to look at them that way, those are indeed flaws. But then I found out that's not the case. It's not a flaw. It's just Those of us old guys just look at things that people can't understand with old eyes. To be honest, that kind of thing appeared in him, and it may also appear in the students present. But that is not a shortcoming, I prefer to call it' possibility'.

As Lin Xianrong said, there was no sound on the playground, and the low-frequency humming and chatter that could not be suppressed at ordinary times could not be heard at all today.

The students who were playing with their mobile phones and reading books with their heads down put down what they were doing and listened intently to the old principal's speech.

Students, you have many possibilities, many of which you may not be aware of. But they do exist. This is your greatest advantage, because compared with me, an old man, you have too many possibilities in life Waiting for you to discover and create. That young man, according to the original standards, he is not a good student, his academic performance is not good, and he is not hard enough in his studies. But now, he resolutely gives up He has followed the route set for him by the society and the public, and chose a completely different path from most of his peers. Because he knows that there are many possibilities in him, and he wants to try it. He may fail, but I will not laugh at him, because a person who seriously tries every possibility in life is worthy of respect. Also, while worrying about his failure, please also remember that he is also likely to succeed.

Some of the students and teachers could already hear who the principal was talking about, and many of them were looking at the phalanx of Class Three, Senior Three.

Under these gazes, Zhai Liying was a little uneasy. She didn't expect Mr. Lin to have such a high opinion of the student who gave her the most headache.

So... am I wrong?

She wondered.

But beside her, her students all held their heads high and stood proudly. The principal said they were our classmates!

The dean of instruction, Wang Shunquan, also heard who the old principal was talking about, and he looked at the back of the old principal in surprise. I can't figure out why the old principal wants to speak for that famous bad boy!

Education is not about shaping you into identical copies according to a unified standard. Dear students, each of you is a unique individual with unique personality and thoughts. Education is laying a solid foundation for you At the same time, in fact, it is to discover the possibility of each of you, so that your life will have more possibilities and surprises. I hope that all students in Qingyang No. 1 High School can become top students admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and can also become A painter, a singer, a designer, a businessman, a soldier, a scientific research worker, an athlete... But please remember, no matter what industry you want to engage in in the future, you must be a person who is responsible for yourself and useful to society.”

Lin Xianrong looked far away, beyond the densely packed students in the audience, beyond the school's walls and gates, and cast his gaze to the infinite sky.

This is what I, an old educator, hope for all the students and teachers present. Thank you very much for listening to me. Thank you all!

After speaking, he took a step back and bowed deeply to everyone present.

And after the inertia-like silence on the playground, huge applause and whistles suddenly erupted, like rolling thunder, rolling over everyone's heads, stirring their hearts, and from their eyes, there seemed to be something Sparks are flickering.

※ ※ ※

After passing through the security check, Kist and Zhou Yi looked back and saw Zhou Yi's parents standing outside the security check, looking at them.

Thinking of the behavior of Zhou Yi's parents just now, Kist couldn't help laughing and said, Zhou Yi, your father is really an interesting person.

He's always been a little wordy, do you feel it? Zhou Yi said.

Yeah. Kester nodded, But that's an expression of parents' love for their children, maybe you still can't understand...

No, Mr. Kiester. I understand. Zhou Yi shook his head. To me, they are the best dad and mom in the world.

Kistor turned his attention to Zhou Yi. He saw that the child had a serious expression on his face when he said this, and he was not joking.

※ ※ ※

Let's go, I can't see you anymore. Zhou Jianliang pulled his wife's hand, but she stood there without moving.

Why...

He turned his head to look, only to find that his wife was biting her lower lip tightly, her jaw trembling slightly, and her eyes were already flushed.

Reluctant?

His wife suddenly leaned on his shoulder, sobbing, Nonsense! He's gone for two weeks...two months...

Call him if you can't bear it. You can't save money on international calls. Zhou Jianliang stretched out his arms and hugged his wife tightly.

No, too many phone calls will make him fall in love with home... The wife shook her head again. It's not good for him...

You...you're gone, go back to our two-person world!

Who wants to live a two-person world with you! His wife twisted Zhou Jianliang's waist.

Zhou Jianliang inhaled in pain, but hugged his wife even tighter.

ps, I finally finished writing the first volume on the plane from Madrid to Dubai.

What a coincidence, in the novel I wrote that Zhou Yi took a plane to leave his hometown, while outside the novel I was on the plane returning home. Outside the porthole was the starry night sky, and we were flying over the Nile, the largest river in the African continent.

It is two hours away from Dubai, thirteen hours away from Beijing, and twenty-three hours away from my home in Chengdu.

I am eager to return home. I am afraid that while Zhou Yi is reluctant to leave home, it is more about his longing and longing for a new life.

I'm already like an old man who doesn't want to leave home, but Zhou Yi is a young man with many possibilities.

The first volume mainly tells the story of Zhou Yi and his friends participating in the reality show, going from China to the world, and the things surrounding them.

They have one thing in common, that is, they all have infinite possibilities.

It took two and a half months to write 350,000 words, very slowly but with great care. I thought about this last chapter for two days before starting it. For the last ending, I went back and revised all the relevant content of the previous article.

Hope you enjoy this story.

Anyway, I like it very much, I like these stories, and I like those people.

I am very happy to be able to walk through Zhou Yi's student days with everyone. Next, let us look forward to the stories of him and his friends in professional football!

Then there will be more possibilities!

PS again, a chapter of 7,000 words! There is another one in the afternoon! Ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets! ! (To be continued.)
