[Football] Because your eyes are too big

Stephanie was aroused by Thomas to be interested in conquering the kitchen again, while Mesut silently prayed for Thomas in her heart, and the atmosphere among the children was quite good.

But at this time, a stranger interrupted their conversation.

"My child, do you two like football?" This was a strange middle-aged man with a burly figure and even a little fat.

The three children glanced at each other, making sure that they didn't know this man, so they immediately became a little on guard, and suddenly struck up a conversation with them, who knows who he is?

The man probably saw the nervousness of the children, so he quickly smiled and waved his hands: "Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person, this is my business card." He took out his business card from his pocket and handed it to the children.

"Are you a scout for Red and White Essen?" Mesut asked angrily after reading the business card. This was the first time he had seen a scout.Thomas behaved more normally. He has seen many scouts, and he has long been familiar with it.

"Yeah, I'm Schmidt, a scout for Red and White Essen. Although our club is not a top league team, you know that we are quite famous in North Rhine-Westphalia. Boys, Do you like football? Would you like to come to the youth training camp of Red and White Essen?" Mr. Schmidt finally explained the reason for his strike-up.

As Mr. Schmidt said, the red and white Essen are just low-level clubs. In North Rhine-Westphalia, there are top league teams such as Dortmund and Schalke 04, and there are also sub-level clubs such as Duisburg. The team, their red and white Essen is really not in the forefront, not the first choice for those children with potential.So these scouts can only shuttle around the stadiums in various neighborhoods and towns to dig out those potential seedlings, and then use their tongues to lure people to the team.

Today, Mr. Schmidt came to Gelsenkirchen, which is next door to the Red and White Essen, and wanted to dig some seedlings back. At first, he thought there was little hope. After all, Gelsenkirchen is the residence of the Bundesliga team Schalke 04. Therefore, it can be said that most of the people in this town should be Schalke fans, and their red and white Essen may not be able to dig people under the nose of Schalke.However, Mr. Schmidt happened to pass by the sports field here, and then saw some people watching something. He came over out of curiosity, and was pleasantly surprised to find that two little boys were competing in footwork.

Although Mr. Schmidt is not the top scout, he still has good eyesight. In other words, these two boys are very talented, so good that he can't miss them no matter what.Immediately, Mr. Schmidt was so excited that he had to stop the two boys, talk to them, and try to drag them to Red and White Essen.

After getting acquainted with the two boys, Mr. Schmidt talked eloquently, nothing more than talking about how their red and white Essen attach importance to youth training, how ambitious they want to go to the upper leagues, the subtext is to come to their red Bai Essen, you won't regret it.

Stephanie sat on a chair beside her and listened. She was a little curious. Could it be that people who play football are always talkative? The uncle is, and so is this uncle. By the way, Mesut is also quite nagging sometimes. .The complex relationship between mouth and football has become a profound problem that Stephanie has not figured out for a long time.

Mr. Schmidt over there finally finished speaking, and then he looked expectantly at the two stars of hope in his eyes.

Before Mesut could speak, Thomas spoke first: "But my family is not in North Rhine-Westphalia. I'm just here for fun and to visit my relatives by the way."

Mr. Schmidt waved his hands again and again: "It's okay, it's okay, everyone is welcome to join us in Red and White Essen, and we can provide board and lodging. Where does your family live?" He wanted to fool people around before talking.

"Well, my home is in Bavaria, um, near Munich, Munich, you know, the Munich with Bayern and Munich 1860..." Thomas seemed very interested in giving Mr. Schmidt an impromptu speech about Munich .

Stephanie and Mesut had already understood how scary Thomas was when he was talking, so Stephanie immediately jumped up from the chair and cut Thomas off: "He's already a member of Bayern's youth academy. , really, I won't lie to you."

"Well, that's right, I'm sorry sir, I don't think I can become a player of Red and White Essen." Seeing that his niece had already said it for himself, Thomas still solemnly rejected Mr. Schmidt's invitation. He is still very fond of football. seriously.

"Bayern..." Mr. Schmidt was a little regretful. Who would have thought that the child he caught sight of was actually a young player from Bayern's youth training, but this is enough to show how much he has vision and how outstanding this child is.

Bayern is like a giant in the German football world. Now that this kid has entered the youth training camp where many people strive to enter, Mr. Schmidt knows that he cannot persuade him to give up such a good youth. The training camp came to switch to the red and white Essen.So he looked at the boy who had been silent all the time, wouldn't this boy also be a Bayern youth trainee?

Schmidt looked at Mesut with expectant eyes, but he looked at Mesut with disappointment and shook his head.

"I'm sorry sir, my dream is to join Schalke 04's youth training camp, so I don't think I can join the Red-White Essen either." Mesut also seriously rejected Schmidt.

"Yes, Schalke 04 is a Bundesliga team. If you enter their youth training camp, you will have the hope of playing in the Bundesliga. Unlike us who are still struggling at low levels." Mr. Schmidt shook his head, a little self-deprecating, He has experienced this kind of rejection many times. After all, the level and strength of the red and white Essen are there.

But Mr. Schmidt is not one to give up. He gave Mesut a business card: "Son, here is my business card, well, I mean, if one day you change your mind, you can give I'll call." When he gave this business card, he just hoped to keep one more hope, but he didn't expect that in the end he would still receive a call from this boy, making the red and white Essen the future German country The starting point of the team's midfield football road.

Watching Mr. Schmidt leave, Mesut did not speak.

Thomas took a bite of the sandwich that Stephanie handed over, then blinked and said, "Mesut, when are you going to go to Schalke's youth training camp?" I got to know the excellent goalkeeper Neuer and the aura midfielder Mesut. Neuer is already a member of the Schalke youth training camp, but Mesut still only participates in football activities organized by the school.But he feels that sooner or later Mesut will follow the same path that he and Neuer took to professional football.

Thomas' question also aroused Stephanie's curiosity, and she also looked over.

Mesut hesitated for a while, and finally said his plan: "I plan to try it out soon."

His good friend Neuer is already a youth player of the Schalke youth training camp. On the one hand, Mesut is young, and on the other hand, he wants to be more secure before going, but after communicating with Thomas in person After that, he couldn't wait any longer.If he joins the youth training camp of the Bundesliga team, will he have the opportunity to communicate with more players who are as good as Thomas?Mr. Schmidt's poaching just now also moved him.

"Come on, Mesut, I hope to meet you in the academy league, it will be fun! Ah, I can't wait, I will be back in Munich with my academy mates Let me tell you about you and Manuel, my companions are very interesting, they are very interesting..."

Thomas enthusiastically introduced his teammates from the youth academy to Mesut, and Mesut also listened with a smile.Thomas spoke vividly, as if the things he said happened before Mesut's eyes.Mesut seems to know a lot about many of Bayern's academy players, even if he hasn't seen them in person.

Maybe the path to professional football will be interesting too!Mesut thought to himself.

Seeing the two boys immersed in the world of football, Stephanie was not happy. The two guys were so excited when they mentioned football that they completely forgot about her.

The angry little girl immediately took out her tennis racket and hit the ball on the ground with the racket.

The banging sound of the tennis ball finally brought the two boys back to their senses. They looked aside and saw Stephanie hitting the ball on the ground with her mouth pouted.

Crap!Mesut didn't have time to fantasize about becoming a professional football player. He only knew that once the little witch got angry, he would definitely be the last one to suffer.

"Nini?" Thomas, as an uncle, immediately worried about his little niece.Even though he was only a month away from his little niece, Uncle Thomas was determined to be a kind and good uncle.

"Hum!" The little girl snorted arrogantly, then she continued to slap the racket to the ground deftly, while turning around and facing the two stinky boys who forget everything when they talk about football.Although angry, the control she showed in tennis is also great, of course, this is also thanks to Mesut's sweat and tears for her to improve her game.

As the person who knew Stephanie the best among the people present, Mesut bit the bullet and said, "Nini, Thomas and I will play with you." Fortunately, he still remembered that death would be delayed.

"Hmph!" Stephanie moved her ears, and then picked it up with her hand, and the tennis ball that was originally kicked to the ground was picked up, and then turned into a bouncing ball in her hand.She maintained the movement of juggling the ball, walked to the side and opened the tennis bag, took out a tennis racket and handed it to Mesut.

"You must remember to save me later!" Mesut took over the hot racket in his eyes, and secretly instructed Thomas.

Thomas still didn't understand what Mesut meant, but by the time he understood what Mesut meant, Mesut had already been repaired by Stephanie.

"Huh, Thomas, if I can be your teammate in the future, I will definitely not pass the ball to you!" Mesut, who had been waiting for Thomas to rescue him, said arrogantly in his heart. This guy is easy to talk and too slow to react. Yes, the pass will definitely not be received.

Thomas stayed here for two days in North Rhine-Westphalia and returned to Bavaria with his school team. Before leaving, he was still a little bit reluctant. After all, he had a good time here these two days, and he still knew I met a fun little partner and had a good communication with my cute little niece.

"Nini, Mesut, I will definitely be back!" Because Mesut and Stephanie, who were dragged to see them off, talked non-stop, and were finally dragged into the car by their own partners. Thomas was still in the car. They stopped shouting at Mesut.

Thomas' voice became farther and farther away. This cute uncle finally left Stephanie's life. Of course, someone may enter her life soon.
