[Football] Because your eyes are too big

Stephanie entered the classroom humming a song. She said hello to her close friends before sitting in her seat.

As soon as she sat down, Stephanie looked at Mesut who was sitting next to her: "How is it? How is it?" She looked at Mesut with expectant eyes.

Mesut felt a little weak. He lay down on the desk and said in a muffled voice, "No, I failed. They said I didn't meet their selection requirements."

"How is it possible? Even the scout uncle of Red and White Essen said that you are very talented, but he warmly invited you to join them." Stephanie said in disbelief.

"Red and white Essen is a low-level league, while Schalke 04 is a Bundesliga team. Their requirements are higher." Mesut simply buried his face in the desk. Now he feels a little depressed and even ashamed to see people up.

That time, Stephanie took Mesut to entertain cousin Thomas from Bavaria.During the period, Thomas and Mesut competed in their skills, and also attracted the scouts from the red and white Essen.

At that time, Mesut rejected the scout uncle's invitation to join the red and white Essen, because he had already made up his mind to go to the youth training camp of Schalke 04.Around Mesut, many school team members, especially his good friend Neuer, have joined Schalke's youth training camp. Mesut has been secretly working hard for this goal before, and now he feels that It's time to realize this dream.

Soon after Thomas returned to Bavaria, Mesut applied to join Schalke 04's youth training camp.Yesterday was a rest day, and it was also the day for the selection of new players arranged by Schalke.Accompanied by his parents yesterday, Mesut went to participate in the assessment.

Stephanie should be regarded as Mesut's closest partner, although this intimacy is more of the intimate interaction between Stephanie's fist and Mesut's *.She had already known from Mesut about his idea of ​​going to the youth training camp. The little girl also thoughtfully stopped the daily fixed two-person tennis training for Mesut to prepare for the exam. Of course, she The original words are that she just moved the tennis training to make up after the Mesut exam.

The night before last, Stephanie called Mesut specifically to cheer him up and tell him that if he didn't succeed, she would be tortured later.Mesut accepted Stephanie's loving and gunpowder-filled encouragement in a dumbfounding way.

At that time, Stephanie had made an appointment with Mesut, and Mesut called her to inform her of the assessment results as soon as he came back yesterday.As a result, Stephanie waited at home for a long time but did not receive a call from Mesut. In the evening, she went out to watch a movie with her parents, and fell asleep when she came back, so she had to wait until this morning to ask about Mesut's assessment results. up.

Although Stephanie liked to bully Mesut since she was a child, she recognized that Mesut has a smart head, and this guy is very talented in football.

Now I have a good relationship with her, and my uncle Thomas, who often talks on the phone and chats on the Internet, also told her that Mesut's football is very good.So Stephanie didn't have the option of Mesut not being selected by Schalke 04 at all in her mind. She almost thought she heard it wrong just now.

"How is this possible? You are so good, how could they not want you?" Stephanie said in disbelief.

"Nini, have you forgotten that when we were in the first grade, I almost couldn't even make it to the school team?" Mesut said gloomily. Coach, he can't make the school team at all.

Mesut's words reminded Stephanie: "Yes, we can go to Schalke's coach again. We are all children of Gelsenkirchen, children of Schalke, and we watch them play. The ball has grown! I want them to give you another chance, and then you can show them a good performance and let them know that they must have been blinded to miss you at that time."

"Forget it, Nini. They said that my physical condition is too poor, and I can't compete with professional players on the court. In short, I am not suitable for the career of a professional player." Mesut's voice sounded peculiar dull.He has been shocked enough since hearing these words yesterday. You must know that he has always dreamed of becoming a professional player before.The coach's remarks yesterday seemed to have told him that the road to a professional player would not work for him.

Apparently, Stephanie didn't see it that way: "This road doesn't work, so let's go around!" She slapped the table suddenly, causing Mesut to look up from the table immediately in fright.

"Nini?" Mesut was a little confused.

"Give it to me!" Stephanie held out her hand.

"What?" Looking at Stephanie's white and tender hands, Mesut was a little puzzled.

"The uncle's business card."

Mesut still had doubts in his big eyes.

Seeing his stupid look, Stephanie wished she could directly clenched her outstretched hand into a fist and punched him according to his big eyes: "I mean the business card of that red and white Essen uncle scout that day. Since Sha Schalke 04’s youth training camp is not good, so let’s go elsewhere. Schalke 04 is not the only football club in North Rhine-Westphalia. Red and white Essen, Dusseldorf, Borussia… If it doesn’t work, there is Dortmund.” Stephanie gritted her teeth and said the name of her arch-rival Dortmund in a murderous voice, “We are from North Rhine-Westphalia, which claims to have as many teams as ants, and we will always find a club that you can join. When the time comes, Mesut, you should perform well, make Schalke regret missing you, and let them spend money to buy you over!"

"Nini..." Mesut was a little frightened by Stephanie's appearance, but she was more touched. You must know that Stephanie is a diehard Schalke 04, so she asked her to say that she would join the team. Other teams, including Dortmund, the opponent of the Ruhr Derby, show that the little girl cares about him.Woohoo, it turns out that Nini cares about me so much, so let me continue to be her sandbag... No, I can do whatever I want, but I can't make sandbags!As soon as Mesut thought of "promising with his body", he refused decisively. After being bullied by Stephanie for so many years, he and even that little witch's sandbag are not easy to do.

"Hey, Mesut, why are you in a daze?" Stephanie's patience was not that good, she stretched out her hand for a long time, why the guy was still staring stupidly.how?It looks like your eyes are big?

"Ah, oh, here you are." Mesut took out the business card from his schoolbag, and he has always carried it with him since the day he received it.Although he has never had the idea of ​​joining the Red and White Essen, he still cherishes the first scouting card he received in his life.

Stephanie flicked the business card: "We'll call uncle at noon, and then we'll be there after school."

"Nini, will this make you feel rushed?" Mesut asked worriedly. Since he was hit by the Schalke youth training camp yesterday, he has lost confidence.

"This kind of thing must not be delayed. It must be done while uncle still remembers you." Stephanie looked like I had more experience with this kind of thing than you, as if forgetting that she was even more experienced than Meisu Very young one year old.

"But..." Mesut wanted to say something else.

Stephanie resolutely refused to let him continue: "No but!"

Mesut was a little restless that day. During the lunch break at noon, Stephanie dialed the number on the business card belonging to Uncle Schmidt, the red and white Essen scout, in front of him, and then he heard Stephanie finalized the trial training with the uncle on the other end of the phone in a sweet and lovely voice, during which he didn't even say a word.

After discussing with Uncle Schmidt, Stephanie hung up the phone and told Mesut that she had made an appointment for him to try out after school in the afternoon.

So after school, Stephanie grabbed Mesut and escaped from the club activities, and waited directly at the school gate.

Red and White Essen was in the next town, and Uncle Schmidt drove over to pick them up in person, and he parked the car at the gate of the school early.

"Is it just the two of you? Mesut, won't your parents go with you?" Uncle Schmidt was a little surprised. Usually children will be accompanied by their parents when they come to tryouts. Why is this boy only surrounded by his "little girlfriend" "Accompany?

Mesut opened his mouth, just about to say that he hasn't notified his parents yet.

Stephanie has already said for him: "Uncle and auntie Ozil, they have something to do today, so they let me accompany Mesut. Well, uncle, I am the one who called you, my name is Stephanie Mueller."

Uncle Schmidt smiled: "Hello, lovely Miss Muller. By the way, do you have the willingness to join our Red and White Essen Women's Football Team?" He smiled and made friends with this lovable girl.

Who knew that Stephanie puffed up her face: "Uncle, my surname is Muller, but no one stipulates that all Muellers must play football? I want to be the best Muller who plays tennis. As for Müller is the best player in football, and my stupid cousin Thomas is enough."

Schmidt was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again. Muller's surname is a very prominent surname in German football. There was even a joke in the football circle before-all Muellers are the best strikers.But the little girl's serious look about being the best Müller in tennis is so cute and endearing.

"Then I look forward to seeing our lovely Miss Muller in the Grand Slam in the future." Mr. Schmidt would not have thought that when he would have a proverb, the future Miss Muller would be the successor to Grace. Another banner of German women's tennis after Fu.

Because of the conversation with Stephanie, Uncle Schmidt wanted to ask Mesut some things but forgot, so he warmly greeted the children and got into the car.

While the uncle closed the car door for them and walked towards the cab, Mesu tugged on Stephanie's sleeve: "Nini?"

"Let's try out first!" Stephanie whispered to him.

Mesut and Stephanie are usually at the same table, they are the closest people in school, but they have never been so close.Often when they got so close, it was when Stephanie was about to beat him up. At that time, he just went there in fear and didn't think so much.Today's atmosphere is a bit special. Mesut could even smell the fragrance of Stephanie clearly when Stephanie was close to him and bit his ear, which made him feel weird.

However, as Uncle Schmidt got into the car, there was one more person in the confined space like the car, and Mesut, who could have grasped some emotions in his heart, forgot all of a sudden.After many years, when recalling this passage, Mesut would sigh. It turns out that that kind of emotion is called throbbing.

Mr. Schmidt started the car slowly, and the car gradually went away, setting sail with a boy's dream.
