"Two years later, have you become the main force of the school team?"

This is written by a 15-year-old boy to himself two years later.

—————————————————————————————

In late autumn, Xiangshan has put on its fiery red coat, and the afterglow of the sunset retains the last touch of warmth in the city.

There is a court at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain. The net is already in pieces and there is only an empty rack left. The fake grass in the artificial grass has been worn out to the point where no one will come here to play football with the newly bought sneakers.

It is such a "modern" stadium. Every day around dusk, the ball will be released and the sound of a collision with the barbed wire mesh will be released on time.

"Yo, Xiao Sun! I'm here to practice football again!"

The guy who practices football is a boy who looks like a high school student, named Sun Xiang. Sun Xiang's father practiced hurdles when he was young, so he also thought that his son could inherit his talent in economics in the future, so he named him Sun Xiang. But who would have thought that when he was young, Sun Xiang had only developed a strong interest in football.

What I just spoke was Uncle Zhou, the "master" of the stadium. Sun Xiang didn't know the name of Uncle Zhou, but only knew that this person was there when he came here to play football since he was a child. Over time, his relationship improved, so he affectionately called Uncle Zhou.

"Good evening, Mr. Zhou, are you still coming out on such a cold day? I have the key here, just turn around and lock the door yourself." Sun Xiang lifted up his clothes and wiped the sweat from his head.

"It's okay, this person is old and he has to take a walk, let alone it's so cold."

Uncle Zhou stood on the other side of the barbed wire, looking at the young man sweating alone on the court in the sunset.

Sun Xiang's body size is actually quite suitable for football. His height is 185, his explosive lower limbs and waist and abdomen are all inheriting his father's athletic talent.

But even with such good prerequisites, Sun Xiang still couldn't touch the heart of the school coach. "Main substitute" was the only title given to him.

In fact, it’s not that he is not diligent enough. He will complete the training every day seriously, or even finish it. He has to practice for a while after the training. He will come here to practice football alone after school. For the sake of convenience, he also gave him a key here so that he can come at any time.

Day after day after day, Sun Xiang's football skills have gradually improved over time, but only one thing cannot be improved through training, that is talent.

It is said that Messi is a talented player, while Ronaldo is a role model for players without talent. However, we have to say that if Ronaldo doesn’t have any talent, he will definitely not be able to reach his current height.

Genius is composed of one percent talent and ninety-nine percent sweat, but that one percent is very important.

Sun Xiang is missing that one percent.

His father once said, "If you have even a little talent, you will become the absolute main force of the school, which is related to your sweat."

——————————————————————————————————

The last ray of sunlight sets down the west mountain, and the capital city becomes extremely cold.

Sun Xiang locked the iron door, carried his backpack, and walked home step by step with the sneaker bag in his hand.

"I'm back."

When I opened the door, a scent of meat came to my face with the warmth.

"I'm back! Change your shoes and wash your hands and have a meal. Today I made your favorite ribs for you!"

Sun Xiang’s mother’s voice came from the kitchen.

Sun Xiang's mother used to practice sports, but she was just a sports sports. At that time, she was also a teammate in the Bayi Integration School. After retiring, she married Sun Xiang's father, who was also a Bayi Integration School, so their marriage became a long-standing story.

During dinner, my mother asked Sun Xiang about his training today.

Compared to Sun Xiang's father, she supports her son's football. When Sun Xiang was unable to enter the main force, when his father persuaded him to give up, she always supported him from the standpoint of his son.

"It's okay, it's very tired and fulfilling."

After dinner and showering, Sun Xiang returned to his room.

That was his own football country.

Sun Xiang is a Blues fan, so the walls are covered with posters mainly in blue, including Lampard's signature poster, which he asked his friends in the UK to come back.

Lying on a bed covered with sheets with Chelsea’s logo, there was a poster of Fabregas on the roof.

That is his football idol and the person he yearns to be. He was once a demon midfielder in England and one of the midfield commanders of the Bullfighter. Although his halo is much dim now, he still cannot shake the status of the Spanish midfielder in Sun Xiang's heart.

"I must be the main force of the team. If I don't have talent, I will rely on 100% of my efforts."

After a day of high-intensity training, Sun Xiang fell asleep early.

———————————————————

"Hey Morale, you'll take the penalty!"

A man wearing a Samba Legion jersey came to Sun Xiang.

"Wait, who is Morale?"

The man who called Morale raised his head, looked at the goal, looked at the football again, and then took 4 steps back.

"This posture...would you shoot directly?"

No matter how you look, it looks like 35 or 6 meters. It’s not scientific to shoot directly.

"The goalkeeper on the opposite side looks familiar... It's Ximan!"

"That is to say, I am now a Brazilian player, and England is opposite?"

Sun Xiang now understands that he dreamed of traveling to Brazilian players.

Morale started, supported his left foot, swung his right foot back, and shot... Strangely, this ball did not go out like a cannonball as Sun Xiang thought, but instead drew a high parabola in the air.

It is still rising, rising, rising... suddenly falling.

It was too late to wait until Ximan felt the danger was too late, and the football was unfairly hanging into the upper left corner of the goal. You should know that the position of the set ball was on the right side of the entry.

Morale began to celebrate wildly, and the entire court was excited about the goal.

"That scene just now...I remembered it!"

This is Ronaldo's battle for fame, against England in the quarterfinals of the 2020 World Cup. This goal not only allowed the Brazilian army to reach the semifinals, but also made the name Ronaldinho well-known to the world.

The picture immediately changed and Sun Xiang came to the Bernabeu, a football temple that every fan yearned for.

The game is already in a white-hot stage, and now it is Sun Xiang who takes the ball.

A figure in white in front of the right ran over, and saw that the man just swayed over the defensive player with a light button.

"This end is long, is this Ramos?"

Then he rushed forward for about ten meters, and Real Madrid's Diyala approached.

This man turned to the right, and at this moment, there was only Cassie and the gate behind him in front of him.

Get up and shoot!

The football drilled into the left side of the goal with a strong rotation.

Thunderous applause rang out at the Bernabeu.

I believe many people are familiar with this picture, and Sun Xiang is no exception.

In the 25-year national derby, Barcelona was visiting the Bernabeu, and Ronaldo conquered the championship home court with his amazing performance.

Although this set was done by Luo Luo himself, every touch of the ball and every processing were imprinted in Sun Xiang's mind...

After that, the oxtail, picked the ball past people, shot on the spot, and passed the ball without looking at people...

Every Luo Luo’s representative work was like a lantern in Sun Xiang’s dream. Until he woke up, Sun Xiang still impressed him.

"What an incredible dream. It would be great if I could become a player like Ronaldo..."

With this unrealized dream, Sun Xiang walked to the bathroom and started washing.

In fact, when he got down to the ground, he felt something in his body swimming back and forth, and walked lightly.

However, Sun Xiang didn't think much about it. It was just a dream. These reactions should be just the sequelae of yesterday's training.

Now he just needs to adjust his mindset and make sufficient preparations, and not disturb himself because of other things.

Because there was a very important game today, in order to strengthen the team's strength, the school invited the Inter Milan youth team to conduct teaching competitions with the school.

Yesterday, Sun Xiang heard that not only the Inter youth team coach will come, but even the first-team head coach Spalletti will also come to watch. Putting aside political factors, since he has come, he will have the chance to be noticed by the head coach.

Although this is no different from a fairy tale, in Sun Xiang's opinion, this is a rare opportunity.

But the premise is that you must play in this game. As the best candidate for the "main substitute", those main players will definitely do their best in this game to win the appreciation of the coach.

It seems that my difficulty is quite...
