Chapter 216 Like Beginnings of a Harmonious Family: The Five Prodigies of Green Gun's Youth Training Program

Smalling's story has greatly inspired the young players.

Pond Convenience Store thus became a holy grail for teenagers.

Some confident contestants even took the initiative to volunteer themselves.

“Hello, my name is Pierre Aubameyang, from the French semi-professional football club Rouen. I'm a Dartford fan, I grew up watching the Green Gunners play, and I hope to get a trial opportunity. I know it's presumptuous, but…”

A tall, thin boy is standing in front of the cashier.

A long line formed behind him.

The room was already filled with similar young people, each holding a different kind of milk tea, but their eyes all showed a hint of resentment.

They all came to recommend themselves, but failed.

The self-recommendation process is also very simple: just come over and buy a cup of milk tea, and then take the opportunity to ask questions.

If you gain Director Jiang's favor, you might get a chance to try out for the Green Gun Youth Training Camp.

In the past few days, two or three people have successfully obtained a spot.

You know, if this opportunity were offered elsewhere, there would be plenty of people willing to spend thousands of euros, but Green Gun won't charge a penny and will even give you a cup of milk tea!
Tell me, is it worth it?
Ashley Young sat to the side, swirling his glass of red wine and sipping the nectar inside: "This guy has no chance."

Vardy asked, "Why? Is it because he looks too thin?"

Ashley Young shook his head: "No. It's because his name also has 'Young' in it, and Dartford only allows one person named Young!"

Jiang Mengyun finished making the milk tea that Aubameyang had ordered, handed it to him, and said, "Go to the stadium for a trial."

Aubameyang nodded dejectedly, but then realized what he meant: "Huh? What? Trial? This..."

The scene was in a state of excitement.

Sixteen-year-old Aubameyang was so excited that he cheered and hugged everyone else in the convenience store, then ran out and clapped with everyone in line to pass on the good fortune.

By the time he returned, more than ten minutes had passed.

The whole of Dartford became lively as a result.

Another Fan Jin has passed the imperial examination!
There'll be plenty of content on the headlines again tomorrow!

Aubameyang, one cup to fame!
Vardy looked at Ashley Young: "Young, now..."

Ashley Young smiled slightly: "He's smart to back down. His name is Aubameyang, you know what Yang means? Lu must have given him a trial opportunity for that reason."

"However, I think this person's physical condition is average, and he will most likely not pass the trial."

The Green Gunners' tryouts usually last for three days, and if they pass, the team will cover all their food and lodging.

Those who perform exceptionally well may have their trial period extended by one to two weeks.

Of course, this is just youth training.

It's possible that the trial period for the first team could last for several months.

However, soon, gasps of surprise also came from inside the pond stadium.

Everyone looked towards the field.

Aubameyang surged ahead, easily overtaking all the trial players.

Southgate then called Lu Kai, and after receiving Lu Kai's approval, publicly announced that Aubameyang had passed the trial and officially become a member of the Green Guns youth academy!
The scene was absolutely explosive!

Aubameyang surpassed the other teenagers who came for trials to become the second player signed by Green Gunners' youth academy this summer.

The trial training lasted less than half an hour from beginning to end.

Most of the time was spent warming up.

"Jamie, go and overtake him!" Ashley Young has a phobia of the 100-meter dash; he was completely outmatched by To Madeira on this very small sprint field years ago.

This Aubameyang is taller than Madeira, but he doesn't seem to be slow.

Vardy went to check on Aubameyang's running results and then came back.

He shrugged: "This Frenchman from Gabon is a bit faster than me."

Ashley Young's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Ashley Young is actually considered a fast horse.

Vardy is faster, ranking among the best in the entire Premier League.

So Aubameyang was faster?

Wouldn't that mean... the fastest player?
"Fuck! Lu has struck gold!" Ashley Young fully understands how terrifying a player like this would be if he were in Lu Kai's hands.

Madeira is a top-class Premier League player.

However, he only began formal football training after joining Green Gunners, and his physique was average, neither tall nor strong.

If Aubameyang's speed is no worse than Madeira's, and his other physical and software abilities are all superior to Madeira's, then isn't he... a potential superstar?
Green Henry?

Ashley Young felt threatened by Aubameyang.

Mei Yang, not Yang?
"This kid will definitely try to steal my GOAT position in the future!" Ashley Young is already planning how to bully Aubameyang within the team.

"Ashley, clear the table, what are you standing there for?" Jiang Mengyun called out to Ashley Young twice when she saw him standing there in a daze.

Ashley Young quickly grabbed a rag and got to work.

Aubameyang's story quickly spread throughout England and even back to France.

Green Gun negotiated with his former team and eventually completed the transaction for 50,000 euros.

For a semi-professional team, selling their youth academy players for this price is clearly a huge profit.

Even their first-team starters might not be worth that price.

The Green Gun youth training program is more attractive to everyone because it not only has the "competitive recruitment" of the youth training of big clubs, that is, a trial to see your ability and decide your stay or leave, but also a mysterious mechanism.

For example, players like Aubameyang and Smalling are inexplicably added to the team.

The latter can fill everyone with fantasy.

After all, only outstanding talents from various youth training teams have the opportunity to pass the first method, which means they have to be geniuses from a young age.

But ultimately, there are more non-genius children in the world.

But the green gun gave them hope.

Of course, this is only what the outside world sees.

Those lucky people who were "inexplicably" selected were actually chosen by Lu Kai.

Aubameyang is one of the most famous members of the Obama family besides Obama.

He is a future Bundesliga Golden Boot winner, Premier League Golden Boot winner, and African Footballer of the Year. At his peak, he was ranked 20th in the Ballon d'Or and had a peak market value of 75 million euros.

In the Pro Evolution Soccer mobile game series, he was known as one of the three great strikers in the earliest version, along with Cristiano Ronaldo and Romelu Lukaku.

Moreover, his peak period was precisely during his time at Arsenal.

If the red spear can kick it out, then my green spear can definitely kick it out even better.

A few days later, a similar situation occurred again.

This time, the lucky winner is Aaron Ramsey, a youth academy player from Cardiff City Football Club.

He is 15 years old and a gem of Cardiff City's youth academy; the team values ​​him highly.

But Cardiff is Dartford's second home, after all.

Every year, the finals of major English competitions are held at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, and the Greens have won numerous titles there since the FA Cup, including five League Cup finals, three FA Cup finals, and the Community Shield, among others.

Cardiff local fans probably watch more of Green Guns' classic matches than Dartford local fans.

How could one not get infected?

Ramsey is one of them.

Moreover, people strive for higher positions, and Cardiff City has been relegated from the Premier League to the Championship in the past two years and has yet to be promoted.

Green Gunners are not only a Premier League team, but also a "mythical team".

Ramsey came specifically to give it a try.

And he actually passed the exam!
After all, he's the future "Grim Reaper".

For a long time, a prominent person would inevitably die within a week of his goal, including but not limited to Osama bin Laden, Muammar Gaddafi, Whitney Houston, and Paul Walker.

Upon hearing that he was about to coach Cardiff, even the Pope of the Vatican couldn't resist and went to meet God.

Although it was just a series of coincidences and there was no disrespect for the deceased, it indirectly made people fear his performance on the field.

Cardiff City are very reluctant to let go of this promising talent. They have been nurturing Ramsey for seven years, and he is expected to be promoted to the first team in two more years, where he could earn millions of euros with a good season.

But Ramsey also wanted to leave.

Ultimately, Green Gun paid Ramsey 150,000 euros.

Cardiff City has come to terms with this.

……

"The Voice of Green Guns": "The Green Guns stage is here, what are you waiting for? Dartford's youth training spot giveaway in partnership with Green Guns is still in full swing!"

Sky Sports: "The Celtics are focusing on acquiring young academy players this summer, demonstrating a strong risk-averse approach. This means they currently have enough funds to support the construction of the Celtics amusement park!"

BBC: "Green Gunners sound the alarm about finances and prepare for hibernation! At their current level, they could survive for three years even if they are relegated from the Premier League!"

The Echo: "Look at Lu Kai's football wisdom in the Green Gunners' efforts in youth training! The Green Gunners have abandoned unrealistic fantasies of becoming a giant club, and may become a long-lasting powerhouse in the Premier League in the future!"

Green Gun's performance has been recognized by many professionals.

With such frugality, they are unlikely to follow in the footsteps of Newcastle and Leeds United.

However, this also means that this rising force in the Premier League, which emerged like a shooting star, will also disappear from the mainstream fans' view like a shooting star.

The China tour is about to begin, and the Green Gun Youth Training Camp has produced another lucky winner!

This time, the lucky winner is named Jordan Henderson!

At fifteen, he is a "cat prince"—a youth academy student of Sunderland, the Black Cats.

He joined the Black Cats at the age of seven and is known for his exceptional talent within the youth training team.

However, considering that he played as a midfielder, and everyone knows how talented England midfielders are, he was initially not considered by Alfred.

However, Lu Kai still specially recruited him.

After all, he is the future captain of both Liverpool and England, and has won awards such as England's best player. He is known for his hard work and all-around ability.

There can never be too many engineers like these, even if they're armed with green guns.

Sunderland and Dartford are considered friendly clubs, and Dartford's current star player, Marko Marco, is a product of the Green Gunners.

Henderson may be gone now, but he might come back someday.

Even if one becomes incredibly famous and successful, one can still return to one's roots in old age.

Therefore, the two parties ultimately agreed on a price of 100,000 euros.

Henderson quickly became a rising star in England.

Currently, among Green Gunners' four youth academy players, Smalling is an amateur player who came from an untrained background.

Aubameyang came from a semi-professional French team; he's an outsider.

Ramsey may appear to be English, but he is actually Welsh, demonstrating that there is still a distinction between English and Welsh.

Only Henderson is an outstanding product of "England's top clubs," best representing the strength and vision of England's younger generation.

At least in terms of star quality, Henderson is much better than the previous three.

Moreover, he immediately latched onto Ashley Young, the team bully, and thrived, filling the niche left by Amorin's departure.

Henderson gave numerous media interviews, during which he also revealed some of his little secrets.

Henderson: "Yes, I didn't get a definite answer at first, and I could sense that I was probably still a bit far from meeting the Green Gun standard."

"But fortunately, I told Mr. Alfred that I had a tourist visa for China and could go to China with them."

"If it weren't for that sentence, I might have gone back to Sunderland."

Henderson demonstrated a high level of emotional intelligence.

This led to a surge in applications for Chinese visas.

More and more people are learning Chinese.

Everyone knows that the elements of Zhong Guo might help everyone get into Green Gun.

As a result, Guo Xing's popularity has surged again.

Lu Kai was very satisfied with Henderson.

Beep beep!

Lu Kai's phone rang.

It's Daniel.

“Lu, this player is hard to find. I don’t know how you even knew about this kid,” Daniel complained. He was the chief transfer officer for Green Gunners, and he’d almost suffered a major setback in Norway this time. “Even Haaland couldn’t get in touch with him. I had to personally come to each club and ask them…”

Lu Kai nodded, indicating that he understood Daniel's hard work, and then checked the emails Daniel had sent back.

This player is seventeen years old, plays as a striker, and currently plays for Spartak Sarpsborg, a Norwegian third division team, a semi-professional team.

Full name: Jan Morton Arnisen.

Of course, in CM0304 people prefer to call him "JR".

His dribbling, speed, and stamina were all maxed out from the start, making him a higher priority among the "youngsters" than To Madeira and Markofer, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the number one youngster.

Unfortunately, his real-life career was far less legendary than his character in the game, and he spent most of his time playing for a semi-professional team.

The highlight of his career was helping the team gain promotion to the Norwegian top league and participate in the Europa League group stage.

From the message sent by Daniel, we can see that JR does have advantages in speed, dribbling, and stamina, but he is not as abnormal as he is in the game.

He's probably on par with Ashley Young, but with a fairer complexion.

Lu Kai's signing of this player suggests a strategy similar to scouting for promising young talents.

This also suggests that the team is preparing to accept Norwegian players in advance, so that Haaland can better integrate into the team when he grows up.

Furthermore, if JR really succeeds, his status as a CM0304 legend will also add value to his career.

The deal ultimately cost Green Gunners 50,000 euros.

For Sarpsborg, it was like a windfall!
However, Ashley Young became instantly nervous when he saw the news while en route to Hong Kong.

Yet another one with "Yang" in their name!

Moreover, all of them were signed by Lu Kai's designation, not based on their actual abilities. Is this some kind of sacrificial or blessing ceremony?
After all, Ashley Young knew a word when he was learning Chinese: San Yang, Kai Tai!

"Yang, didn't we say there can only be one Yang in our team?" Vardy questioned Ashley Yang's status.

Henderson also frowned.

Did I mistake the leader I recognized after joining the team?
Ashley Young has actually lost power?

Should I send some gifts to Patton?
However, Barton's group, including Pepe and others, are all second-rate players, which damages their media image and is not conducive to competing for important positions such as vice president of the Celtics in the future.

Ashley Young saw through the rebellious intentions of his underlings and casually uttered a few words: "They're nothing but imitations of Wanwan!"

Vardy and the others couldn't understand, so they went to ask Mr. Alfred.

Alfred explained, "Wanwan and Yang should both refer to different people. 'Lie' means similar. In other words, I chose you, Wanwan, but actually it's because you are like Yang, which indirectly expresses Yang's position in my heart."

Henderson breathed a sigh of relief.

At least I didn't lick the wrong person.

It turns out that Lu Zhuxi brought in Aubameyang and JR in the hope that they could become his right-hand men, just like Ashley Young!

Ashley Young also breathed a sigh of relief; young people these days are becoming increasingly difficult to fool.

I still miss the days when Amorim was here.

How could Henderson and his gang of traitors possibly support the immense power of his Green Gun Local Gang?
The Green Gun situation is constantly changing.

After the departure of many star players, the Modric faction, led by Modric, has shown a growing trend. This group doesn't seek any personal gain; they are all die-hard fans of Lu Kai.

The biggest conflict is with Ashley Young, who likes to secretly slip in his own agenda.

The Barton faction, led by Barton, and the likes of Ribery and Pepe, are all muscle-bound; it's best to keep your distance.

The Zhongguo Gang, led by Li Weifeng, holds a superior position, but is weak and isolated; it is best not to offend them.

This green gun will ultimately belong to the local gang led by Ashley Young!
Once he unifies the Green Gun faction and stands at the forefront of public attention, he will inevitably be sought after by various powerful families.

She'll have a grand wedding, making everyone envious!

Manchester United, you ignored me when I broke my leg, but one day I'll wait for your offer, then join Real Madrid and make you unable to afford me!
