this is football

On the bus back to the low-rent apartment, Su Mei sat by the window, the breeze blowing on her face, and she felt very happy.

Su Mei stretched out her hand and rubbed Lei Ou's head, her eyes full of love.

"Don't you regret giving up a contract with a monthly salary of 20,000 euros?" Su Mei said with a smile.

"Of course, your nephew is a genius who wants to become a football superstar. How can you look at him for only 20,000 euros?"

As he spoke, Lei Ou smiled, which was charming even though he was a child.

"I'm a little worried now..."

Su Mei turned to look out the window and murmured: "Can we really enter La Masia?"

Barcelona's youth training camp is different from the Spanish one. It is no exaggeration to describe it as full of talents. Generally speaking, they are top talents selected from all over the world.

If he is eliminated by La Masia, it is estimated that the Spaniards will not want him anymore, which will be a big thank you then.

Lei Ou nodded and said confidently: "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to do it!"

Confidence comes from strength.

Regarding his own strength, Lei Ou already has a good understanding of his own strength after going through trial training with the Spaniards.

After walking for more than half an hour, the two got off the car and went home. When they walked to the door, they saw a white-haired young man leaning on the door, smoking a cigarette casually.

"What are you doing? I've been waiting for you for a long time." Sheldon put out his cigarette and asked dissatisfiedly.

Su Mei looked a little embarrassed and opened the door without saying hello. She felt guilty for him and didn't know how to face it.

"Let's go and talk outside."

Lei Ou took Sheldon to the small park outside the apartment and sat on a bench, thoughtful and silent, mainly because he didn't know how to speak.

Who would have thought that he would come to the house? After all, I haven’t figured out how to deal with it yet.

"My intuition tells me that something bad must have happened." Sheldon asked sensitively.

"You smoke a cigarette!" Lei Ou suggested.

"No, tell me what happened?"

Sheldon was a little anxious. The task assigned to him by his supervisor was to get Lei Ou to sign the contract within two days to avoid unnecessary complications.

But why do you feel like it has already sprouted branches?

"I have decided to go to La Masia Youth Academy for a trial in a week."

Feeling helpless, Lei Ou told the truth. He had a good impression of Sheldon, so at least he shouldn't lie to him.

"What the hell?"

Sure enough, Sheldon was shocked and became furious: "Brother, are you playing with me? No, are you playing with the Spaniards? Is there anyone like you..."

Sheldon started to criticize non-stop, feeling that Lei Ou's approach was unethical. Since he decided to go to La Masia, why did he go to Espanyol for a trial training, and why did he fight for a contract?

Sheldon didn't understand very much.

"I can only tell you that I have my own reasons, but I am really sorry for this! I apologize!" Lei Ou solemnly apologized.

Sheldon took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it blankly, and then remembered that the boy asked him to smoke first before speaking.

Is this smoking to relieve sorrow?

After a long silence, Sheldon smiled bitterly and said, "No matter what, La Masia is better than the Spaniards. As a compatriot, I hope you can make a difference. Maybe you can lead the Chinese football team out of the quagmire in the future."

Lei Ou had not considered such a long time ago, and now he was seizing the opportunity to enter La Masia.

"Thank you!" Lei Ou said solemnly.

"Okay, stop being pretentious, maybe we will have a chance to cooperate in the future."

Although Sheldon smiled, there was a bit of bitterness in his smile. How should he explain it to his boss?

Taking a deep drag on the cigarette, Sheldon looked to the east, feeling an urge to escape.

Why the hell should I suffer here?

"Then shall I go back?" Lei Ou said apologetically.

"Wait a minute, give me your fucking phone number!"

After withdrawing his thoughts, Sheldon said angrily.

When Lei Ou returned to the low-rent apartment, his aunt had already prepared a meal, and it was another big meal.

Su Hu wolfed down the food and talked about things at school while eating: "Mom, brother, I ran first in the 100-meter race today."

“What’s the use of running first?”

Su Mei extinguished her son's pride, then smiled and said: "I want to learn from your brother, he is going to La Masia for trial training."

"Really? That's great!" Su Hu's little face was filled with excitement.

"Little Tiger is not bad either. He always ranks first in the 100-meter run." Lei Ou said with a smile.

The family happily had a meal and rested for a while. Lei Ou resumed his usual running and training routine.

The next day, Su Mei took Lei Ou to the mall and bought a pair of brand new sneakers and two pieces of clothing to prepare for the trial training.

Seeing the prices of clothes and shoes, Lei Ou regretted giving up the 20,000 euro contract.

It is impossible to get a contract in La Masia, unless you are a very talented talent. If you are lucky, you can play for the Barcelona B team before the age of 18, and then you can become a professional player.

As soon as he got home, Lei Ou received a call from his football friend, asking him to go to the stadium immediately because there was a football match.

Lei Ou put on his old washed and white sneakers again and ran to a rented stadium.

About twenty teenagers were playing football on a real grass field. One person waved vigorously: "Lei Ou, this way!"

Lei Ou walked closer and said, "I don't have the money to pay the rental fee."

You need to spend money to play football here, and it is basically an AA system. Lei Ou explained the situation in advance.

"We don't need to spend money!" After the boy said this, he pursed his lips in a certain direction of the crowd.

Lei Ou looked over, his eyes stagnated, and he saw another oriental face.

The fair-skinned boy, who is sixteen or seventeen years old, is wearing a white shirt, dark trousers and black leather shoes. He looks a bit like an adult, and his hair is meticulously combed.

The young man came over with a spring breeze on his face and said in fluent Spanish: "Are you the genius they call you?"

"They deserved the award." Lei Ou replied calmly.

The young man changed his voice and spoke in Chinese: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Park Shichang, Korean."

Lei Ou was stunned for a moment, and the young man smiled and said, "I can speak Korean, Chinese, Spanish, and English."

"If you play football, I will accompany you. If you show off, I won't accompany you." Lei Ou said calmly.

Park Shichang was obviously taken aback. He looked at Lei Ou with a playful look, "Of course he is playing football. When I change my clothes, I want to see why he is so crazy?"

After speaking, Park Shichang got into an extended Hummer next to the stadium and changed into his jersey and shoes when he came out.

"How about you lead one team and I lead another, 11 versus 11, 30 minutes each half?" Park Shichang asked.

Lei Ou did not hesitate and said "Okay."

The teams are divided and the game begins.
