Champion’s Heart

This is a university stadium. There are many people sitting in the low stands. On the football field surrounded by the stands, there are twenty-three teenagers standing in line. In front of them, there are several middle-aged people standing. .

One of them stood out, and all eyes were on him.

He is the former main striker of the Chinese national team and the number one striker in Asia, Hao Dong. He has retired and appeared in front of everyone in casual clothes today.

Not only were the twenty-three teenagers present looking at him, but everyone in the stands was also looking at him, and some took out their cameras to take pictures.

Zhou Jianliang was also in this group. He was taking pictures with his camera, but his lens was not a Chinese football legend, but his son Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi was among the twenty-three teenagers.

When he first persuaded his wife to let his son participate in the draft, perhaps even Zhou Jianliang did not expect that his son would be able to pass all the way, stand out from the audition, and reach the final national finals. Although his grades are the last among the twenty-three, he can still be regarded as one of the twenty-three best football teenagers in China.

He wants to take more photos of his son as a commemoration of this unforgettable summer vacation.

In his camera, Zhou Yi is looking at Hao Dong intently, just like the children around him.

For a teenager who loves football, Hao Dong, a former international footballer, is famous and the idol of all of them.

Being able to get in touch with this idol at such a close distance, Zhou Yi's face was filled with excitement. From his face, you can't see the tension of participating in the finals at all...

Hao Dong was standing in front of the twenty-three teenagers, talking.

...First of all, congratulations to the children for being able to enter the finals. You are already the best 23 people in this age group in China. In the next finals, I hope you can play your normal level, play well, and strive for the finals. Become the winner and get the qualification to represent China to challenge the European giants youth team.

His words excited the children.

Going to Europe and competing with the youth teams of wealthy clubs is precisely the purpose of these people who have worked so hard to reach the finals.

Now, there is only one step away from this goal-as long as they can perform well in this finals and win the favor of the national football legend in front of them, their dreams can come true!

It's just that the elimination rate is a bit high... Among the twenty-three people, only one person can stand out in the end.

Of course, every teenager is very confident in his heart, believing that he can become the best person.

Hao Dong continued: Before the finals start, let me say one more thing: Please remember, children, football is a team sport.

After finishing speaking, he scanned the audience, seeing the expressions on the faces of each of the twenty-three teenagers.

The children seemed to have not recovered from their longing for the beauty of the outside world. After hearing his words, there was no change in expression on their faces.

He knew that these excited and nervous teenagers didn't listen to his last words.

So he waved his hand: Okay, let Team Leader Wu lead you into groups.

After finishing speaking, a fat middle-aged man stood up next to him. This is the leader of the king.

But Hao Dong turned around and walked to the rostrum with the others.

The ones selected from all over the country are different. I think most of them are quite high-spirited, and they don't have much stage fright... said a man who was walking with him. It seemed that he was slightly younger than Hao Dong. Maybe we can really find good seedlings!

Hao Dong said noncommittally, Let's take a look first, Xiao Wang.

He took off the sunglasses clipped to his collar, put them on his face, and then looked up at the sky. The scorching sun at four o'clock in the afternoon showed a blue-green color in the sunglasses, and the light was not so dazzling.

It's a little softer, but the temperature hasn't dropped, and it feels like you've been in an oven sitting on top of everyone's heads.

After Hao Dong left, Team Leader Wu slapped his hands beside him: Okay, let's divide into teams.

The eyes of the teenagers reluctantly moved away from Hao Dong's back and turned to Team Leader Wu.

I got my name, come out and get this. Leader Wu raised his hand, grabbing this red training vest with a white number on the back.

Huang Zhihua, Zhang Yihao, Liu Yiwei, Li Haoran...

Every boy whose name is called will run out of the team happily to get his own vest, while those who have not been called look at the lucky ones with envy and longing, and look forward to it in their hearts. Your name will be called.

Different from the variety of selection methods in the audition, the rules of the finals are very simple. Twenty-three people are divided into two teams, and they play a game. The player with the best performance can get the opportunity to participate in the reality show quota.

Eleven people were quickly selected.

Next, Team Leader Wu picked up a blue training vest and said, I'll call the person whose name I got to get this.

This is the blue team.

Liu Yadong, Yang Fei, Li Xiang, Liu Haowei...

Another individual stepped out from the crowd and took away their vests.

Twenty-three people are divided into two teams, one team has eleven people, and the other team has twenty-two people, so in the end there will be one unlucky guy who can't get the chance to start.

When the team leader finished reading the last name, Zhou Yi was still standing there.

He froze for a moment, raised his hand and asked, Leader, what about me?

You substitute. Captain Wu glanced at Zhou Yi and said.

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd on the opposite side—twenty-two of the twenty-three people got the chance to play, and the remaining one must be a substitute. They laughed at Zhou Yi for asking him out. This is not self-inflicted humiliation ?

None of them were surprised that Zhou Yi was a substitute. Among the twenty-three people, he is the one with the worst performance in the national audition. If he is not a substitute, who will be the substitute?

Zhou Yi seemed to understand this too, so after the team leader said that, he just oh, and didn't say anything else.

※※※

Zhou Jianliang, who has been observing his son, also discovered that his son has become the only substitute.

When the players from the red and blue teams ran onto the field to prepare for the game, only his son Zhou Yi turned around, walked to the long bench by the side of the field, and sat down.

Zhou Jianliang remembered a conversation between father and son when his son successfully entered the finals.

At that time, he had successfully entered the national finals, and the result had exceeded Zhou Jianliang's expectations. He didn't want to put too much pressure on his son, so on the way to Beijing, he talked to Zhou Yi about his expectations for the finals, and he told himself Son, he is already very proud and satisfied to be able to reach the final.

It means don't put too much pressure on your son.

But his son's answer was beyond his expectation.

I want to go to Europe, Dad.

Sitting on the train to Beijing, Zhou Yi smiled and said to his father.

Zhou Jianliang still remembers his son's expression until now, it was not a hippie smile, but a longing smile.

As a father, Zhou Jianliang could tell that his son really wanted to go to Europe, to join that team, to challenge the youth teams of wealthy clubs that he could only see on TV.

Before that, my idea was just to leave a good memory for my son in the last relaxing summer vacation before the crucial college entrance examination. And his wife, the son's mother, must only be thinking about using this failure experience to dispel his son's unrealistic fantasies about football.

What they didn't expect was that the son's goal was very clear from the beginning, and he didn't come to travel.

Seeing his son sitting so alone on the iron bench, as a father, Zhou Jianliang felt a little unwillingness in his heart.

As the head coach of the team in this reality show and also the final judge of the draft, Hao Dong was sitting on the podium with his hands on the table and his chin propped up.

Staring at the court, he frowned slightly.

He didn't intend to imitate the deep outfit of Commander Ikari in EVA, but the current situation really gave him some headaches.

The national audition for the reality show Superstar Successor has been going on for a month, and now it is finally coming to the end, which should have been a happy thing.

But Hao Dong couldn't be happy now, because he didn't see anyone who was qualified to enter his team from the twenty-two teenagers on the field.

Although the producer told him that this audition is just a gimmick, the main purpose is to attract the attention of public opinion and arouse the interest of more fans to participate, so in the end, it is enough to select only one person symbolically. I don't expect that person to be very talented, can he really gain a foothold in the European team and make contributions...

However, as a successful former professional player, Hao Dong has his own pursuit and principles for football itself.

He still hopes to dig out some good seedlings through this method as much as possible. This is why he turned a blind eye to the fact that those who have received echelon training in professional football clubs also signed up - you must know that the registration rules say that anyone who has received professional and professional football training is not allowed Junior signed up.

The reason why Hao Dong did this is because he thinks that people who have been trained by professional football clubs have that ability. Football is a very professional thing. It is difficult for a person who has not received professional football training to compete at the highest level since childhood. Competing with foreign talents soaked in the training. In addition, as a person who has experienced it, he also knows the nasty things in Chinese football. If it is not guaranteed, there will be some very talented seedlings who will be expelled from the team because they offended the coaches and leaders?

This audition is actually giving them a chance.

But it is a pity that the nationwide audition came to the end, and finally 23 people were selected to come to Beijing for the finals. Among the 23 people, there are people with good skills and abilities, but if Hao Dong is really going to A candidate who can catch his eyes and meet his inner standards... So far, he has not seen one.

Am I really asking too much?

Hao Dong asked himself in his heart.
