Chapter 088 Life is more than just a slap in the face
"I'm not going!" Juan Carlos said, scratching his neck.
It is absolutely impossible for yourself to play football under this bastard!
He will never forget the shame of that day. The team lost by a huge score, and then he was sent off with a red card, and then Getafe chased him out like a stray dog!
Before that day, he was full of longing for his future in Getafe. He seemed to see himself becoming a professional player step by step, making money, and his sister no longer had to work hard with her sick body!
After that day, everything changed. I was terminated by Getafe, and then I recommended myself to other teams, but was always rejected. In the end, I had to play wild football in an amateur club, and at the same time, I secretly worked as a boxing sparring partner behind my sister’s back to supplement my income.
Home use!
These days of suffering are unforgettable for this child. That tragic defeat and that game are scars in his heart!
And seeing Li Ang, seeing this Chinese, this coach of Real Madrid at the time, it was like opening up this scar!
The scene when the Chinese coach brazenly celebrated Real Madrid's goal on the sidelines was undoubtedly the most painful moment for Juan Carlos.
For Carlos, that game was so important. He was so looking forward to it and had great hopes. He had many, many sweet dreams. However, after that game, the dreams were completely shattered.
"The team has decided to terminate your contract, but you can leave now!" These were the ruthless words of Getafe's coach.
"Ha, you are the kid whose contract was terminated by Getafe. It's you. Sorry, we don't need you here!" This is the treatment he received when he recommended himself to other clubs.
"Juan, just like us, just find a job, play football and become a star. For us n people, that is just a daydream, you know?" This was what some people in the slums were trying to persuade him.
Carlos was so resentful about that game and Real Madrid. He had been feeling depressed these days. Now when he saw Leon and the 'culprit', his negative emotions exploded.
*************
"Are you going?" Alice asked her brother. She seemed very angry, as if she didn't expect that his brother would be disobedient. This also made her very angry. She glanced at Li Ang, fearing that she would make Li Ang unhappy and make her angry.
Her brother lost this opportunity, and she knew how important this opportunity was to her brother.
"Don't go!"
"You!" Alice stood up, her face flushed with anger, and she suddenly coughed rapidly.
Li Ang looked at the quarreling siblings. He glanced at Alice who kept coughing in surprise, and then frowned.
"Sister, are you okay?" Carlos asked with concern.
"None of your business! Are you going or not?! Cough cough!" Alice coughed again, her smooth face turning abnormally red.
Carlos said nothing and raised his head stubbornly.
Alice coughed, looked at her brother disappointedly, and was about to speak.
Li Ang came over and motioned for the girl to sit down. The latter looked at him puzzled. Li Ang made a gesture to hand it over to him.
Looking at Leon who came over and stood in front of him, Carlos stared at this man fiercely.
Li Ang sneered at this.
"Do you know?" Li Ang said, "Do you know what I just said to your sister?"
Carlos said nothing.
Li Ang did not expect him to answer. He said, "I told your sister that you are very talented and it would be a pity not to play football. You will be very successful in the future! So, I came to you and invited you to join my team."
!”
Carlos glanced at Leon and then at his sister, as if he didn't expect that this person would evaluate him like this and give him such a high evaluation!
Alice turned her head to the side angrily, ignoring her brother.
"But, I must admit now that I lied to your sister." Li Ang said.
Alice looked at Leon in surprise.
Carlos clenched his fists. Sure enough, this guy!
*************
"I only watched that one game of yours. I don't know much about your strength." Li Ang said, "Among the talented young men I know, your name is not included!"
Li Ang glanced at this stubborn child.
"How do I define genius here?" Li Ang said, "In my previous team, many players were geniuses, and their strength was more than one step higher than yours! They were all obedient, why? I was
Their coach! I can bring them victory and improvement!”
"Mata! Juan Mata, do you know?" Li Ang said, "I am now the coach of Sporting Gijon, and this kid is now packing his bags to go to Gijon. He is willing to follow me! In my eyes, he is like that
That’s genius.”
"And you, who do you think you are? After being expelled from Getafe, no one wanted you, so you had to play football! Harlonbottom Athletic, what kind of team is this?"
"You are not allowed to insult my team!" Carlos yelled through gritted teeth.
"It feels like a collective honor." Li Ang raised a finger and shook it, "I am just saying this to tell you that you are not a genius. In my eyes, someone like Mata is a genius!
Who do you think you are? Why do I have to travel hundreds of kilometers to come to Madrid, come to this hellish place in person, come to your door to invite you, give you a chance, give you a chance to continue playing football?!"
"Have you ever thought about it?" Li Ang raised his voice.
"What do you have that I value? Do I owe you anything?"
Carlos glanced at Leon and opened his mouth, but did not speak.
"Here, I might as well speak frankly." Li Ang said, "The only thing I admire about you is your hard work! In that game, you were the only one who was still fighting hard despite Getafe's disastrous defeat! This
That’s why I value you and am willing to give you a chance!”
Carlos stared at Leon with twinkling eyes, while his sister covered her mouth. She really didn't know that Leon valued his younger brother for this reason.
"When I was at Real Madrid, I sent people to Getafe to find you. They didn't find you and said that you had been terminated." Li Ang said.
Did he send someone to Getafe to look for him?! Carlos' heart was racing.
"I went to Sporting Gijon!" Li Ang said and glanced at Alice, "To tell you the truth, my start there was not easy. Under such circumstances, I found an independent scout to look for you.
News! This is the reason why I know your address now and come here!"
Alice looked at Li Ang. If this person didn't tell him, she really wouldn't know the story behind it.
