In November 1999, in a large park in the city of Virton in the southernmost part of Belgium, a teenager with yellow skin and dark eyes was sweating profusely with a football. His skills were not very good and he often dropped the ball, but he kept playing.

Keep practicing.

The road that had just rained was still muddy, staining the boy's shoes and legs. The passers-by looked at him in surprise, but he seemed not to notice it.

This boy is Chinese, his name is Wang Feng. He is just 16 years old this year. Just a few months ago, he listened to an agent and came all the way to Belgium, hoping to join a team and earn more money.

.

But the agent was very irresponsible and could even be said to be a liar. After receiving an introduction fee of 10,000 yuan from Wang Feng’s family, he took Wang Feng to a Belgian second division football club called Velton and signed a six-month contract.

The youth training agreement simply disappeared from the world.

Wang Feng's family is very difficult. His father passed away very early. He and his elder sisters were raised by their mother alone. His elder sister went out to work very early. His younger sister had good grades. After careful consideration, he decided to let his younger sister continue to study.

I came out to work to earn money, so I dropped out of school after graduating from junior high school.

Wang Feng has been fond of football since he was a child. When he was in junior high school, he was a member of the school football team, so he wanted to see if he could play professionally. When he was trying out for a domestic team, he was deceived by an unscrupulous agent. Not only did he

It was him, and the whole family was immersed in the dream of going abroad to make a lot of money, so my mother gritted her teeth and borrowed money from everywhere to collect the introduction fee and a little living expenses for Wang Feng.

It was only when he arrived in Belgium that Wang Feng discovered that his little football skills were nothing to mention for those foreign athletes who had been trained since childhood. He could not even reach the level of the second team of the Belgian second division team, even though he trained very hard with the team.

, but still has not received the recognition and trust of the coaching staff and has not played on the court.

So until now, he has not earned a penny and has almost spent all his living expenses. The team manager has made it clear that if Wang Feng's level has not improved significantly before the winter transfer window, he will no longer be with him.

If the contract is renewed, he will have no choice but to return to China in despair.

Wang Feng feels extremely ashamed every time he thinks of his family's ardent eyes and the sad scene when he collected money for himself. So he trains hard every day, arriving first in the morning and leaving last in the evening. He also takes a football with him on his days off.

Practicing in the park, his physical fitness and ball sense have improved a lot compared to when he first arrived, but his lack of talent cannot be made up for by hard work. Now he is almost in despair.

After completing five hundred tumbling balls, Wang Feng wiped his sweat. Suddenly a white light came towards him. He subconsciously raised his right hand to block it, but the light penetrated directly through his arm and entered his mind.

He then lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he saw a middle-aged man squatting next to him, calling him constantly: "Wake up, are you okay? Do you need me to call an ambulance?" Upon hearing this, Wang Feng quickly sat up from the ground.

He got up and said: "I'm fine, there's no need to call an ambulance." Just kidding, ambulances abroad are very expensive.

He asked doubtfully: "What's wrong with me?" The middle-aged man replied: "I saw you fainted suddenly, so I quickly came over to take a look. Are you okay?" Wang Feng waved his hand and felt his physical condition.

, I just feel a little tired, but I won’t fall into a coma because of it. Could it be that I have been malnourished because I have been eating sparingly recently?

The middle-aged man saw that Wang Feng had nothing to do and left. Wang Feng stood up and patted the dirt on his body, but planned to continue training. No matter what the results were, at least he had tried hard.

When he bumped the ball again, the toe of his right foot touched the football, and a mysterious feeling came over him, as if telling him that the angle of contact with the ball was crooked and the force was a bit too strong. Sure enough, the ball deflected to the side and forward.

He stared blankly at the ball slowly rolling away, and was very surprised in his heart. Did he have an illusion while practicing? So he picked up the football and continued to bounce it. Every time he touched the football, Wang Feng could feel how powerful he was.

Bad, as if a sophisticated computer calculates the results instantly and then feeds it back.

Gradually, Wang Feng's movements became more and more standard, and his strength and angle became more and more appropriate. The ball bounced up and down on his toes, becoming more and more consistent, and even the heights became closer and closer. This superb footwork

It also attracted the attention of surrounding tourists, who gradually gathered together to see how many jumps Wang Feng could make.

When Wang Feng bounced two hundred times in a row, he felt that his legs were a little sore, and his feeling told him that he needed to take a rest, so he stopped. At this time, the crowd of onlookers burst into cheers and applause. A man in a sports shirt

The man came out and asked with a smile: "You are really skilled. Are you a professional player?"

After learning that Wang Feng was a youth training player from Vertone, he was obviously a little surprised and praised: "It's really rare for you to have such solid basic skills at your age." Wang Feng didn't know what was going on, so he relied on the thoughts in his mind.

From the feedback, my ball-bobbing skills seem to have improved greatly.

The man handed Wang Feng a business card. He turned out to be Andre Diest, a scout from the Belgian League Genk. Genk is a veteran team in the Belgian First Division. This season, the striker has been plagued by injuries.

The current record is not good, ranking only 14th, and it is still far away from the goal of the Europa League. Of course, he will not tell Wang Feng this information, but only tells him that he is very optimistic about him and hopes to see his game.

After hearing this, Wang Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. It would be great if he could play in the game. However, he still took the business card solemnly, thanked him for the compliment, and then decided to carry out the next training. Dist did not continue to look at him.

Training, I just smiled and encouraged him, and then left.

Next, Wang Feng plans to practice dribbling, which is also his weakest skill, because he can't always control the strength and can't protect the ball. But today's situation is different. Every time he touches the ball after running,

It will give him precise feedback, and the adjustments under his feet are also very precise.

This feeling of completely controlling the football made Wang Feng very excited, so he ran faster and faster. There seemed to be an invisible line between the football and his toes, always following them steadily. In the end, his running speed was close to

The speed when running without the ball. Wang Feng's advantage also lies in his speed, which is far higher than the others in the team.

He became more and more excited, and even wanted to play a trick and ride a bicycle, but as soon as he made the move, he regretted it. The stiff feeling was clearly reflected in his mind. As expected, his left foot tripped over his right foot, causing him to fall hard.

After going down, it took me a long time to regain my composure.

"It seems that I still need to keep practicing." Wang Feng thought silently. He didn't know what happened to his body. Maybe it had something to do with the mysterious white light, but it didn't seem like a bad thing. His own football skills

My understanding seems to have been raised to a higher level. The feeling of the ball that I had never been able to grasp before seems to be no longer a problem. This can be regarded as an adventure.

It wasn't until the sky completely darkened that Wang Feng picked up the football and slowly walked to his dormitory. The dormitory provided by the club was not far from this park, so he would come to this park to practice football during his breaks.

When Wang Feng walked to the bottom of the dormitory, a tall man was hugging a hot girl and kissing him. When he saw him coming, he patted the girl's butt and asked her to go back. "Hi, Wang, are you there again?"

Are you going to practice?" This man asked, he was Wang Feng's roommate Reni Delvaux, Vertone's substitute central defender.

However, unlike Wang Feng, Reni's family is relatively wealthy, so he plays football purely for fun and to pick up girls. He has never understood Wang Feng's ascetic training mode. Wang Feng is used to seeing different girls constantly appearing around him, but

Nodding, Reni hugged Wang Feng and said, "Brother, you can't do this. In addition to training, you also have to relax occasionally."

He quietly said: "I heard that since our club's main winger was injured, that guy Paul Chark has been performing poorly. As long as you can perform at a super level in tomorrow's training camp, you will have a chance to enter the big list."

Wang Feng couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this. Vertone is a small club, and there are only two substitutes at the winger position. He and Paul, because they had not performed well before, were not able to enter the main roster, but now for some reason their skills have improved.

It looks like we can give it a try.

So he lightly punched Reni in the chest and said with a smile: "Okay, buddy, this information is too timely. I just want to seize this opportunity." Reni is a very loyal person. When Wang Feng first came to Belgium,

At that time, the agent disappeared and the language became difficult to speak. Thanks to Reni's care, he was able to gradually adapt to the environment.
