Chapter 1 This is also called running fast?(1/2)
On the green grass training ground, a black player wearing a blue vest rushed forward from the wing and received an oblique pass from his teammate.
The fans watching the training on the sidelines burst into applause and cheers.
"Beautiful, Rico!"
"The speed of the front insert just now was so fast!"
"I am really worthy of being the player of Brazil's under 19 national youth team... It's so fast!"
"That's of course, speed has always been a characteristic that Rico is proud of!"
...
Rongguang stood by the training ground, saw this scene, and listened to the voices of the fans.
But he had a different opinion in his heart: Can such a person actually run fast? It seems that he is not as fast as my steamed buns...
Rongguang unknowingly used the white local dog he raised as a reference. When he was in the village, he had never seen other outsiders. He ran the fastest in the village, and the only one who could keep up with his speed.
He moved his eyes off the training ground and heard a middle-aged white man standing opposite him with a big belly asking him: "Where are you starting to get involved in football?"
"Seven years old!" Rongguang replied with certainty.
Hearing Rongguang's answer, the middle-aged man glanced at Rongguang suspiciously.
"In primary school physical education class... well!" Seeing the middle-aged man showing a look of disbelief, Rongguang quickly added that he was afraid that others would think he was lying.
It was indeed the first time he came into contact with football in the physical education class in the first grade of elementary school. It was the only football in their mountain village elementary school. Although it had been worn out and there were rag heads inside, everyone liked to play around. The ripped thread was worn open, and it didn't matter if the rag head flew out, and it was stuffed back and sewed again. That was the first time he came into contact with football, and it was the only time he came into contact with football - before he rushed over and kicked the only football in the school to the cliff outside the school wall...
Hearing Rongguang's answer, some veins appeared on the middle-aged man's forehead, but he still asked patiently: "Where did you play?"
"Ah?" Rongguang looked confused when he heard this question.
"Forward? Midfield? Or defender, goalkeeper?" The middle-aged man rubbed his temples and continued to ask weakly.
"I don't know!" Rong Guang gave a very positive answer in a daze but very energetic manner.
Hearing Rong Guang's nonsensical answer and seeing his nonsensical appearance, the middle-aged man sighed, spread his hands and turned his head to a brown-skinned, curly-haired man next to him, with a bigger belly than him, and he seemed to be pregnant for ten months and twins, saying: "I don't think it's meaningless, Mr. Godot. Your 'player' is obviously a newcomer who has never been in contact with football at all... No, it's not appropriate to describe it as a 'newcomer'. I can't find a suitable adjective, but I think you understand what I mean."
"Godor" Anderson Suarez da Silva hurriedly said: "Yes, Mr. Lecco. I have never denied that he is a newcomer who has never been involved in football. But I don't think it's the most important thing. The reason I brought him to Sao Paulo is because I believe that with the perspective of Sao Paulo, I can see his greater talent, that is his excellent athletic talent!"
Godot tried to make his voice sound confident.
In fact, he knew very well that it was a bold act to go to a wealthy family like St. Paul to promote a 16-year-old boy who had never been involved in football, and his success rate was really not high.
But on the surface, you must be very confident.
A qualified salesman, even if he is selling the worst products in the world, must make customers think that he is boasting about the most unique and cost-effective products in the world.
What's more, Godot believes that the boy he values this time is really a genius!
As long as he is given time and opportunity, he will surely shine.
"Speed! His speed is the fastest I have ever seen! I am a professional agent, Mr. Lecco. In my career, I have seen many Brazilian players, and they also have excellent speeds, but none of them can match the Chinese teenager around me!"
"He's just fast..." Leco retorted.
"Yes, it's just fast speed. But Mr. Lecco, don't you think it's already amazing to be fast? Technology and consciousness can be obtained through practice, and experience can be achieved by playing games continuously. However, these cannot change his speed. No matter how good the coach is, he cannot turn a slow player into a fast horse. Because this is a natural advantage and a real talent!"
Godo became more and more excited as he spoke, his speech speed began to speed up and his voice became louder. He had already entered the role.
"But he is already sixteen..." Leco seemed not interested in this thin Chinese teenager.
"He has just turned 16 and three months old... He has a strong learning ability. As long as he has excellent athletic talent as a foundation, I believe that even if he starts learning to play football at this time, he can quickly become an excellent professional player! The most important thing is his athletic talent, which is definitely first-class!" In fact, strictly speaking, Rong Guang is 16 years old, four months and ten days, but in order to make Rong Guang's age sound a little acceptable, Godot lied.
Leco glanced at another middle-aged man next to him who had been silent. This man was neither thin nor obese, and had a strong athlete figure. Although he was middle-aged, his figure was well maintained. He was wearing a sweatshirt and sneakers, which was completely different from Leco who was wearing a suit and tie next to him.
Lecco is the football director of the St. Paul Club. He sits in the office all day long and of course he can wear suits and leather shoes.
But the one next to him is the youth training supervisor of Sao Paulo, the person who commands the entire youth training camp, Mauro Aperesido da Silva.
Seeing that Lecco was asking for his opinion, Mauro smiled and said, "Actually, I am also very curious about Mr. Godo's speed."
This means to let Rongguang run to try it?
Godot was very excited. He clenched his fists and waved them slightly, and the flesh on his body was shaking.
He believed that as long as the people present saw the speed of glory, as long as his IQ is normal and his eyes are not blind, he will definitely be willing to sign him, and at least he cannot become a player in his opponent's family!
Hearing that coach Mauro, who is in charge of youth training, said this, Leco couldn't continue to persevere: "Okay, okay, I hope he is really as good as you said, this... Mr. Godo."

When Rongguang came out of the locker room and was re-wearing on the training ground, he was still wearing the big yellow shorts he had when he came here and the red vest. The only difference was that the toe on his feet was lifted by him in his hands, but under his feet he was wearing a pair of ordinary black-bottomed and white three-bar sneakers.
Seeing the glory coming, Mauro walked into the training ground and signaled the youth team that was undergoing training to suspend training: "Please add individuals to come in temporarily." He said to the youth team's coach Valdema de Oliveira.
Meanwhile, Godot is encouraging Rongguang: "Rong, do you still remember our trial experience?"
Rongguang nodded while curling his lips.
During those teams' trials, many teams refused his trial request just because he was a Chinese, and didn't even ask about his characteristics.
"Chinese people? Chinese people can play football too?"
The tone and eyes that were so arrogant that the glory was impressed by the glory. What happened to the Chinese? The Chinese have provoked you? Although I really can’t play football... but I can learn it!
Some people also feel uneasy about his age.
"I only came into contact with football at the age of sixteen - ah..." a tone of distrust.
What's wrong with the age of sixteen?
Can't you learn football at the age of sixteen? The teacher also said that you can learn until you are old! How can you know if I don't let me learn?
"Sooner or later they will regret it because they let you go, Rong. Now show yourself well, Sao Paulo is not inferior to a wealthy family like Corinthians, Santos, and Palmeiras! Even their youth training camp is stronger!"
"Is that true, Godot?" Rong Guang was not the kind of unbelievable rhetoric question, but was very purely curious, because he really didn't know what happened in Brazilian football. He also lacked understanding of Sao Paulo as a wealthy family.
"Of course, their most successful work in the past two years is to cultivate Kaka! Do you know who Kaka is, Rong?"
"I don't know, Godot." Rong Guang shook his head and said.
"It's okay, you will know soon. As long as you enter Sao Paulo... this doesn't matter now, what's important is..." Godot paused for a moment, then changed his anxious tone, stared at Rongguang and asked, "Rong, I'm flying to China to bring you to Brazil. Do you know why?"
Then he said to himself without waiting for Rongguang to answer: "Because I am sure you are a genius, Rong! No matter what the situation is, don't doubt yourself, because you are a genius!"
His expression was very serious, his tone was sincere, and his eyes were looking at Glory without any evasiveness.
Then he said, "Let them see your speed!"
Glory nodded confidently: "Look, Godot! I'm the best at running!"

After everything was ready, Rongguang walked onto the court wearing the red vest and yellowish-yellow shorts he brought from China. Apart from the pair of sneakers under his feet, he had nothing to do with football. If he didn't look at professional football shoes, he would be no different from those ordinary children in rural China.
After wearing this pair of black adidas sneakers that were originally very ordinary on Rong's barefoot, they became the most dazzling equipment...
Valdema de Oliveira already knew from Mauro's mouth why she had to suspend training.
But he didn't have to worry too much. Mauro was pulling Rongguang and explaining the training requirements to him.
"Your agent says you are fast, so we will run 100 meters. This is meaningless to football. Football cannot give you 100 meters to run. Football values short-distance sprints, which are about 30 meters. Now this training is very suitable for you. You will stand next to the coach later. When the coach kicks the football to the blue vest on the left in front, you will start running forward and go around from the outside of the blue vest that catches the ball..."
Before he could finish his words, Rongguang interrupted him: "I know, Mr. Coach."
Mauro was slightly surprised: "You know?"
Rong Guang pointed to one of the youth team players watching the fun, Rico, a black player who had finished this exercise before.
"I just saw him do it once."
Rico was suddenly pointed at by Rongguang, and was a little surprised: What did that guy point me to do?
Mauro looked at the surprised Rico. There was nothing on the surface, but he was also quite surprised inside - he saw it once and knew how to run away?
This is actually a normal youth team training content. The purpose of the training is to let players learn to use space in the back row.
In a rectangular area with a width of twenty yards (about eighteen meters) and thirty yards (about twenty-seven meters) in length, there are three attackers and two defenders. The players participating in the practice take the ball at the starting point and take two steps forward, and then pass it to their teammates in front of him. After receiving the ball, the teammates cut in the middle, forcing the players who defend him to shrink in the middle.
At the same time, the third player on the attacking side was originally on the other side, but also moved to the middle to meet the player who was dribbling the ball.
During the whole process, the first player who first took the ball had to go forward from the gap pulled out from behind the second player, go outside, and go around an arc, with the goal being the gap behind the defense line.
Because of the position of the second player, he may not be able to see the first player behind him, so he has to pass the football to the third player who comes to pick up his. The third player receives the ball and faces the first player's running route, and he can see the first player.
At this time, he passed the football diagonally to the open area in front of the first player in the running position, and made sure that the first player received the ball during the running, rather than stopping and receiving the ball.
In the end, the first player received the ball and completed the cross.
This is a complete exercise.
It looks simple, but for a rookie who has never been exposed to football, it is quite surprising that he can understand the tricks in it after just reading it once...
He thought of what Godot said, "He has a strong learning ability."
Is this what it is?
So he no longer continued to talk about the running requirements during training, but said to Rongguang: "You don't need to cross the game in the end. You just need to run over and receive the pass. Run as fast as you can." This is a training event that was originally found in the training class. It was not designed specifically for Rongguang, but this training event can be used to test Rongguang's speed.
Rongguang confirmed by rhetorical question: "How fast can you run?" If that's true, it would be really simple for him!
Mauro nodded: "Yes, run as fast as you can, let's see your best speed, boy."
