Fame with a ball

Just returning to the club on the team bus, Lin Zhigao ignored the head coach Warnock who wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with him. pile of banknotes.

Although the money is not much, only one thousand euros, for Lin Zhigao, this is definitely the first huge sum of money he has earned after coming to the UK.He couldn't help but kissed the banknote in his hand and shouted: "ILOVEMONEY!"

"Oh, Lin, there are so many bacteria on it." The head coach Warnock who followed Lin Zhigao couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene.

"Every banknote is absolutely pure when it is first printed, and it is us who carry bacteria all the time that stains them." No matter what the head coach says, Lin Zhigao will not be dismissed. The love of money.

For this boy who used the word "pure" to describe money, Warnock was completely speechless, but he knew how to change the subject: "Lin, have you considered signing a formal contract with the club?"

Lin Zhigao's eyes lit up: "A formal contract refers to..." money!Every player who has signed a formal contract with the club has a fixed and expensive weekly salary!

Warnock said with a smile: "The weekly salary is 5 euros, a three-year contract, plus a [-]% annual bonus."

Ten thousand euros is almost 10 RMB!Lin Zhigao never thought that he would embark on the road of professional football so soon. It has to be said that such a weekly salary is really attractive to him, especially compared to his previous weekly salary of 1000 to [-] pounds.

but……

"Coach, don't try to lie to me." Lin Zhigao said triumphantly, "I've read the newspapers a long time ago. Last year, the average weekly salary of Premier League players was 2.2 pounds. Do you want to send me 1 euros just to get rid of me?" What’s more, you haven’t told me whether it’s pre-tax or post-tax, your British tax is so scary, it’s almost half of it at one time.”

Warnock couldn't help but look embarrassed.

Lin Zhigao felt a little embarrassed, touched his head, and said with a smile: "Coach, don't blame me for speaking badly. Everyone has to fight for their own interests, right? Besides, you are not the one who pays me for this club. How much do I want?" , it has nothing to do with you, doesn't it?"

"Lin, what I want to tell you is actually." Warnock felt a little awkward, but in order to sign the boy he was optimistic about, he said: "Since we changed the boss last year, the team The salary of the players here has long been unable to catch up with the average level of the Premier League, and he is reluctant to spend a penny to buy new players for the team when he transfers, let alone increase the average salary of the club."

Lin Zhigao nodded, and suddenly realized: "Let me just say, Italians are the most stingy and love to take advantage of small things."

"...the owner of the club is a Malaysian."

"Uh, I'm not familiar with Malaysians, so I can't comment on that."

Warnock took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, I will fight for your best interests, but I hope you can consider signing with the club, Lin." He has always preferred young players with high development potential, and Warnock worried that Lin Zhigao would be poached by other teams.With his two goals against Manchester United, this kind of thing can happen very easily.

Lin Zhigao waved his hand indifferently: "What are you thinking about? Didn't I come to the club just to sign a contract with you? Coach, you can help me figure this out. I'll just bring a pen with me when I come to training tomorrow."

Warnock said happily: "Then you have a good rest today. After signing the contract tomorrow, I will combine your physical condition with the coaching staff to make a detailed training program for you!"

Lin Zhigao nodded, and trotted out of the gate of the club.

The club is more than ten miles away from Lin Zhigao’s rented apartment, and there is a direct bus to get there. Lin Zhigao usually takes a red bus to go between the apartment and the training ground, but occasionally runs back and forth with his legs.

Today's two goals against Manchester United gave Lin Zhigao a direct harvest of 1 euros, almost [-] yuan.Although living in the UK for a longer time, Lin Zhigao has long learned not to multiply the price by the exchange rate coefficient when buying things to make his heart hurt, but this money is different, this is the first huge sum of money he has earned!Of course, it would be great to convert it into RMB!

And the strength of Manchester United is well known, and being able to score Manchester United's goals shows that he is really capable.Lin Zhigao couldn't help but began to look forward to the days when he entered the first team, where he would play games every week, score goals and get bonuses every week. Thinking of this made him even more excited.

Lin Zhigao, who was extremely excited, ran all the way back to the apartment by the Thames River. There are many universities in this area, and there are many apartments for rent to students, and they are cheap. When he first came to London, Lin Zhigao rented a house here. He was in the same group as a black African, and later signed into the Queen's Park Rangers Club. With income, he rented a room by himself.

I have to say that there is a big difference between white people, yellow people, and black people. The black brother smells bad. If Lin Zhigao couldn't bear it, he wouldn't bear the rent of an apartment by himself. It's all money that goes out!

"Hi, Rebecca~" Greeted the landlady's wife who was obsessed with watering the flower beds outside the apartment with a kettle, and Lin Zhigao plunged into the apartment.

In her 50s, the landlady's wife, who often has a serious face, said solemnly to Lin Zhigao's back: "How many times have I told you to call me Madame Bovary."

Rushing to the second floor, Lin Zhigao threw himself onto the bed regardless of the sweat all over his body, then excitedly picked up his mobile phone and dialed the number at home: "Hello, Dad?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and a female voice came: "Old Lin, I'm looking for you."

"Who is it?" Lin Changan had just brushed his teeth from the toilet and hadn't had breakfast yet, when he heard this, he stuck his head out of the door and asked his wife.

"Your son."

"My son isn't your son?" Lin Changan watched his wife walk into the kitchen with a straight face, and hurried to the living room to pick up the phone: "Gao Gao, miss Dad?"

"Dad, is my mother still angry?"

"Your mother is like that. Ever since you said you wanted to play football, she has kept a straight face all day long, but don't be afraid, she is just worried about your future. If we are high-spirited and earn a lot of money, you Mom will change her mind."

Lin Zhigao was not worried about his mother being angry with him, his father was right, when he made a lot of money and had a good future, his mother would still love him as much as before.I am angry with him now, because I feel that there is no future in playing football, and I still want him to go to college.

"Dad, I played against Manchester United today and scored goals against both of them." Thinking of today's game, Lin Zhigao said happily.

"Oh, Manchester United, is your team playing against their youth team?"

"It's not a youth team, it's an all-main team. Rooney, Berbatov, and Ferdinand are all there. It's such an awesome team. Your son and I are still going forward, pouring in two at once!"

Father Lin was taken aback. Although he didn't pay much attention to football, it was not that he didn't know what kind of team Manchester United was. Intuitively, he didn't believe what his son said.

Lin Zhigao looked at his watch, "Dad, I won't tell you any more, international long-distance calls are expensive, you can wait until tomorrow morning to read the newspaper news or something, your son and I will definitely be on it." After finishing speaking, he said, " He hung up the phone with a bang.

Lin Changan put down the phone and went to the kitchen to get breakfast.Qian Hongyan handed him a bowl of soy milk with a stern face, Lin Changan glanced at his wife's face, pretended to be casual and said: "My son said that he will formally sign a contract with the team, and he also said that he won a thousand euro bonus for playing yesterday. "

Qian Hongyan snorted coldly: "He has spent one hundred and one thousand and one thousand euros on me since he was a child, and he was so excited to learn from you just after earning such a small amount of money?"

Knowing that his wife was still angry with his son, Lin Changan chuckled, stopped arguing, and went to the living room to have breakfast.

……

Lin Zhigao took a shower and changed his clothes. He carried the football and went to train himself in the football field of a nearby university. After running for two hours with the ball back and forth, all the players of the university's school football team arrived .

Lin Zhigao tactfully picked up the football and walked out of the field. Before he was far away, he heard someone calling him, "Lin from Queens Park Rangers?"

Lin Zhigao turned his head and found that it was the captain of their football team calling him.He walked over with the ball in his arms and asked, "Are you calling me?"

"Haha, it's really you." The red-haired football captain said with a smile: "When we started the game this afternoon, everyone said that the kid who scored the goal was a Chinese who came to our football field every day. I didn't believe it at first. It really is you."

"What do you want to do?" Lin Zhigao asked curiously and warily, "Every time you train, I walk away."

"It's nothing, I just want to practice with you." The football captain said with a smile: "We are also going to play in the college league. I see that your game skills are very good today. Would you like to teach us? In exchange, you can come anytime in the future Training on the court, make sure no one chases you."

Lin Zhigao nodded, the football slid from his hands to his feet, and with a hook, the football was caught by the red-haired youth in a hurry.

Lin Zhigao pointed at them: "You guys come first, let me see your skills."

……

Lin Zhigao returned to his apartment after practicing with the players of the college football team until the lights came on.The whole day of competition and training made him sweat layer after layer, and at least three clothes were soaked, but Lin Zhigao was still full of energy, and he still had the time to pick up language books to read after taking a bath.

After coming to the UK for three months, he spent the first two months adapting to the environment and learning the language. I don’t know if it’s because of being struck by lightning. Lin Zhigao’s memory is very good now, basically he can’t forget it. , In two months, he successfully integrated into the surrounding environment.

If someone wants to ask in doubt and shock: Thunder strike? !

Yes, struck by lightning.

Before he discovered the benefits of lightning strikes, Lin Zhigao had been very cynical and wanted to curse the injustice of God.Half a year ago, he was just an ordinary sophomore in high school in Z City, China, living a boring and boring life facing books, parents and teachers every day.

Life in high school is too depressing, and he urgently needs some stimulation, so Lin Zhigao secretly falls in love with Banhua.Originally, according to this law, this book can only be written as a pure love movie on campus, but unfortunately, Banhua's father is the principal of the high school. Besides this difficult father, Banhua's classmate also has a dead man. A loyal admirer, his father was a member of the underworld in Z City, and he himself was a well-known gangster in high school.

The story of Lin Zhigao's puppy love with Banhua got out somehow, and the gangster found out. On the way Lin Zhigao sent Banhua home after school, the gangster blocked the way of the two of them. Holding a fruit knife, with a ferocious expression, there are at least seven or eight people.

混混一边让手下揍林志高，一边威逼班花跟他谈恋爱，还对班花动手动脚的。With Banhua crying hoarsely and his eyes hazy with tears, Lin Zhigao, who was beaten into a pig's head, was angry from his heart and evil from his gallbladder. With a knife.

This incident became a big issue later on. Lin Zhigao and the gangster who came out of the hospital were both expelled from their respective schools, and Banhua was also transferred by his father.Lin's family is not rich and powerful. Lin Zhigao's parents begged for countless schools, but no one would accept Lin Zhigao as a student. Lin's father sent gifts to ask many people before someone secretly told them: "Your son dares to fight with the principal. His daughter fell in love, and now he has been expelled from school, the principal has already said that Lin Zhigao is morally corrupt and unworthy of going to high school."It directly made the Lin family angry.The gangster with everyone like Lin Zhigao didn't go to school anymore, so he followed his father to join the underworld.

But the beams on both sides have been formed, and the gangster has a lot of free time after he doesn't go to school. Every day he either leads people around the gate of Lin's community, or goes to Banhua's new school to block people.

Lin Zhigao fell into a trough during that time. His former classmates and teachers no longer contacted him, and even pretended not to know him. His parents and colleagues also thought he was a bad boy. Lin Zhigao's parents were anxious about his schooling. Huo, and not in the mood to care about his mental health.

Later, Lin Zhigao couldn't bear it and went to Banhua's new school to find someone, but he was treated indifferently. Dispirited, he went home in a daze, only to be blocked by gangsters.

Then there was a melee between a pair of N. This time the gangsters learned to be smart. They were afraid that they would not be cruel when they got into the game. Lin Zhigao's nose was bruised, his face was swollen and his stomach was bleeding, and then when the sky suddenly darkened and it was going to rain, he let go of Lin Zhigao. Throw it in the alley and walk away.

Lin Zhigao was still sane. Drenched in the heavy rain, he struggled with all his hands and feet. He was about to walk home, but he was struck by a rolling thunder from the sky just as he left the alley...

Then things were simple, his hair was scorched black, and he passed out on the road and was rescued to the hospital. His mind was once diagnosed as seriously injured, but after being rescued, he miraculously healed within a few days. You can leave the hospital.

But because he was seriously injured when he was admitted to the hospital, and no one believed that people could survive being struck by lightning, they all thought he was severely tortured by that gangster. They all entered the juvenile labor camp, and Lin Zhigao's parents were also terrified. After Lin Zhigao was discharged from the hospital, they agreed that he could no longer stay in the country. Fearing that their son would be retaliated, they decided to send their son abroad.

Among Europe, America, Canada and Australia, Lin Zhigao chose Europe, and Lin Changan and his wife took a lot of effort to send him to the UK, and told him to study hard and go to university abroad.

But Lin Zhigao, who stayed in London alone, was suddenly taught the importance of money and power by reality in his previous life.If their family had money or power, he would not be expelled from school, and he would not be pinched by that gangster as a persimmon.

He couldn't calm down to study at the language school in London. He was thinking about how to find ways to make money every day. After half a month of being so impetuous, in an exam organized by the school, his grades were unexpectedly low. It's not bad, and Lin Zhigao gradually discovered that his memory has improved. Some articles can be completely recounted after reading it, and it is not even a problem to memorize it.

And at some point, he also suddenly realized that he had become very physically strong, and he helped the landlord Rebecca move the furniture to the third floor without being breathless or tired.After thinking hard for a long time, Lin Zhigao suddenly took these as blessings after being struck by lightning.

Football, the number one sport in the world, is not very popular in China. The key reason is that the national football team is too stinky.But in Europe, this is truly the number one sport in the world. In the community, in the streets, in schools, football can be seen everywhere, and even a language school has a team with great player mobility.

Under the influence of the environment, Lin Zhigao gradually realized how popular football is in Europe and how much money professional players can earn. After graduating from the language school, he suddenly decided not to go to university. Use your strength to be a professional player!

Although this idea was a flash of inspiration, it made him feel more and more reliable. Therefore, Lin Zhigao did not apply for high school admission, but watched the game on TV every day, and then went to the court to test himself until he felt that his The strength is as good as half of the players in the TV game, so I mustered up the courage to go to the football club to recommend myself.

Going to Queens Park Rangers was actually only his first stop. He had already planned to recommend himself all the way and not be accepted all the way. Unexpectedly, Warnock is a talented Bole, and he has a good heart, so he accepted him like that.

After signing a probationary contract with the club, Lin Zhi happily told his parents about it. He originally thought that his parents would support his decision, but to his surprise, his father Lin Changan felt that he was still young. Little, it’s okay to take more detours, but his mother got angry about it, and scolded Lin Zhigao on the phone: If sending you there should be to make you lose your mind, your father and I are exhausted in China. What is the purpose of saving money for your education? !

Since then, Lin Zhigao's mother stopped answering his phone calls, and only called him for the monthly living expenses.Lin Zhigao felt very uncomfortable for a long time, until he decided to use his performance on the court to change his mother's view of him and support him instead, then he regained his spirit.
