Chapter 3 Trial Training (Part 1)(2/2)

Maybe he is very optimistic about me?

Levi thought with some anticipation.

If he could know Mr. Gray's true thoughts, I'm afraid he would really spit out a mouthful of blood.

In fact, Andy Gray would not be so enthusiastic about helping young players in normal times. This time he looked at Levi in ​​a different light and it was definitely not because he liked the latter.

As for why he is like this, we have to mention Leeds United’s current predicament.

I believe that friends who are familiar with the football history at the turn of the century will never be unfamiliar with the passionate young guards under David O'Reilly, including Alan Smith, Kewell, Ferdinand and Wood.

Gate, Bowyer, Da Corte, these resounding names will shock the football world in the future.

But I believe you will never forget Leeds United's tragic journey from the semi-finals of the Champions League to relegation to English League One in just three years.

And this tragedy, which began with team chairman Ridsdale's wise operation, was almost unstoppable in this New Year of 2003.

In the original history, just this month, Robbie Keane, Robbie Fowler, Woodgate, Dacourt, and Lee Bowyer would all be sold at low prices one after another to fill the gap of the chairman.

That hole that can never be filled.

This winter is destined to make people in Leeds feel bone-chillingly cold.

When the nest is overturned, how can there be any eggs?

The results of the Young Guards are there. The young people of Leeds United are naturally the favorites in the eyes of major teams. Scouts from Arsenal, Liverpool, and West Ham United are waving checks and carrying various promises.

Flooded into Beeston's stadium.

Between money and loyalty, the choice for most people is obvious, isn’t it?

As a result, as early as before Christmas, Leeds United's youth training camp was already half empty. The youth training director and team legend Edwin Gray - he is one of the three major players who created the young guard.

One of the heroes, and the only one still staying at Leeds United at this time: O'Reilly had been sacked at the end of last season, and Paul Hart also went to Nottingham Forest - angrily approached the chairman and asked him to improve the youth team

Players' treatment, and mobilize all scouts to quickly add new blood.

However, Mr. Chairman, who had an empty pocket, only agreed to the latter.

And Andy Gray, as a senior scout of Leeds United and the nephew of the team legend, was assigned the most difficult task by his angry uncle - to dig for players on the territory of their arch-rivals Manchester United.

People.

Oh my God! Is there any fool who wants to leave Manchester United, which is in full swing, and join Leeds United, which is in turmoil?

Andy's whole body is not well.

Therefore, handing out business cards to all the losers of Manchester United's trial seemed to be the only way he could think of, and let the dead horse be the living horse doctor.

In fact, most local young players know what is going on in Leeds United now. Even if they don't know, their parents probably won't let them jump into the fire pit.

It’s just that the original owner still can’t tell the difference.

Alas, let us mourn for Levi's career prospects.

As for Andy Gray, he had been looking forward to hearing a response from the business card he sent out. However, several days passed and there was only one Levi.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

If this single seedling was gone, he simply couldn't imagine how furious his uncle would be. Maybe he could kick him from Sopuak into the Wolf River a few kilometers away!

Andy shuddered when he thought of that scene, so he had to help Levi survive until the day of trial training no matter what.

If not, he wouldn't have the leisure to look for a job and give instructions on the process to a trial trainee who he thinks is doomed to fail!

As for the above, our poor protagonist has no idea at this time.

So, let’s just let him fuck himself!

The receptionist led Li Wei into the training base.

The Sopuak training base is not as big as Levi imagined, but it has complete facilities and the surrounding environment is also very good. To the southwest is the largest shopping mall in Wetherby town, and one kilometer beyond the shopping center to the west is

That winding Wolf River that made Andy Gray tremble.

To the east of the base is Wetherby High School. In fact, many of Leeds United's youth training players attend this high school directly. After all, they only need a 5-minute walk to the training base after class.

The center of the base is naturally a football field, but unlike ordinary football fields, it is divided into four areas, obviously to accommodate some small-scale training events.

The legendary youth training director, Mr. Eddie Gray, was standing on the side of the training ground at this time, supervising the training of the U18 echelon. Levi walked forward quickly under the guidance of the receptionist:

"Hello, sir, I am Levi. Mr. Andy Gray recommended me to participate in the selection."

"Chinese? Well, that boy Andy can actually recruit people from Manchester United? It's a bit beyond my expectation."

"I'm not from the Manchester United youth academy, sir. I just met Mr. Gray in Manchester. He gave me a lot of help."

"Haha, then you should be glad that you are not from Carrington, son of a bitch. What did you say your name was? Wei Li?"

"It's Li Wei, sir," Li Wei corrected, "In my country, the surname comes first."

"It's up to you."

"David," Eddie Gray called his assistant, "take this kid to register his information, and then take him for a physical examination."

※※※※※※

"There are so many people coming to participate in the youth training camp selection today, and there are even Asians."

On the training ground, Milner poked Lennon. He realized that since the Asian man walked into the training ground, something seemed wrong with his friend. He was absent-minded in training and kept glancing at the Asian man.

"Who says it isn't?" Lennon responded nonchalantly, his eyes still looking in Levi's direction.

I didn’t expect you to come to Leeds United for a trial, Chinese boy.

Do you think everyone who dares to come here for a trial training is at the same level as those on the field? I want to see how embarrassed you will be in the group confrontation in the afternoon!

Lennon was thinking secretly, not noticing at all that he seemed to be belittling himself.

Behind him, Milner still looked confused:

What happened to Alang today? Does he know that Asian?

There must be something fishy here, well, there is something fishy.

He decided to keep an eye on Lennon all day today.

※※※※※※

In one morning, Levi tested his physical fitness, explosive power, strength, flexibility, and conducted many ball tests such as shooting, long passing, dribbling, etc. Even though he came very early, it was already close to lunch time after completing these tests.

.

Lunch was provided at the Sopuak base at noon. Although Mr. Chairman was so poor that he was almost too poor to open the pot, he still couldn't lose this bit of face.

By two or three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone's individual tests were completed. David sorted out the summarized data and walked into Gray's office:

"Eddie, there is a special little player here, take a look."

"Li Wei? That Chinese?"

"Yes, his endurance test ranks first among all. We even think that even in the Premier League, his endurance is definitely excellent."

"Huh? So Andy found a treasure this time? It seems like he won't have to worry about his butt next time!"

"No, Eddie, look down." David ignored his teasing and continued:

"His defensive skills are very average, and we think he is unqualified as a defensive midfielder. But even so, it can be seen that he has received professional training in defense, although the level is not high. We think if he receives higher

With the level of training, it is possible for him to barely reach the Premier League standards."

"It sounds okay, so what's the problem?"

"Here's the problem," David turned to the second page and pointed to Levi's test record. "His ball skills are very special. We can see that he is very talented, but he obviously has not experienced

Professional training. For example, in the free kick practice, he had 5 shots into the blind corner, and the other 5 shots. If there were planes passing by Wetherby today, then you would see 5 planes crashing in Sopuak, Egypt.

Dee."

"That would be a disaster!"

"Yes, we think this is caused by his unprofessional shooting posture. For example, the position of his supporting foot is too far back. For example, the back of his foot is not straightened after shooting, and there will be an unconscious swing. All this proves that he has not endured

Receive professional training."

"Really? A 16-year-old kid without professional training can achieve such results, which is not bad even when compared with Aaron and James."

"Yes, to be exact, he is 15 years and 311 days old. Gale and the others believe that children of this age have already formed their own technical habits, and the possibility of overthrowing them all and starting over from scratch is really low."

David looked a little helpless.

"Damn it, were the people who trained him before a pig? Did they never discover his offensive talent?"

Gray interjected angrily. Obviously, they couldn't know the fact that Levi had traveled through time and was good at defending and attacking with the original owner. Of course, even if Levi said it, they wouldn't believe it.

"I don't think this kind of meaningless abuse is helpful, Eddie. The coaching staff is not unanimous now, and the decision is in your hands."

"Okay, let's see the actual combat first and see if this Chinese boy can bring any surprises to Sopuak!"
