Chapter 167 The Way of Gratitude
"Roger has started systematic training." Yi Le asked.
In foreign countries, children start to play football when they are 6-8 years old. It is very important before the age of 12. This is the period of technical ignorance. Let's take the example of the second breakthrough opportunity, but most children show their talents by the age of 12.
Therefore, Yi Le was not surprised that Roger started systematic training at the age of eight.
Speaking of Roger, Martina covered her head and said helplessly; "Yes, Roger is undergoing training, but Flander is very strict with him and always wants him to play football in your way. But in fact, Roger does not have the talent in this area. This kid has good skills, but he is too sticky to the ball. He doesn’t know how to share it with his teammates and keeps running with his head buried. This makes Flander very angry.”
Hearing this, Yi Le couldn't help but smiled and said: "Don't worry too much, he is only 8 years old now, just polish his skills, and teach other aspects later."
"I hope so."
After finishing speaking, Martina slapped her forehead and said, "It's almost time for lunch, and Flender and Roger are coming back soon, so we can hold a family reunion."
Yi Le nodded with a smile.
Even after five years, Yi Le is no stranger to this place.
At about 12:00, Flander came back. He was a middle-aged rough man. Since he worked in the factory all the year round, his tendons were very strong and his figure was very burly.
When he saw Yi Le, he hugged Yi Le in surprise and praised again and again: "The savior of Barcelona is back!"
Flender looked at Yi Le and was also full of emotion. The little guy who used to be on his side was already half a head taller than him, and his body was much stronger.
From a skinny youth to a true professional.
Flender is very gratified and proud at the same time. For Flender, he has witnessed Yi Le's youth training period, so he has a more say in his current success.
The three prepare to have a barbecue in the backyard.
That is Chuaner, this is the barbecue method Yi Le told them, and it is very popular with the family now.
And there is no need to put the beef in the oven, and it takes hours to bake it, which is time-consuming and laborious.
around one o'clock in the afternoon,
Roger is back too.
The little guy was wearing a loose ball uniform, holding a football in his arms. The ball was covered with mud, but his eyes were full of light.
As soon as he entered the room he started shouting: "I scored! I scored!"
The little guy ran around excitedly, not even noticing that Yi Le looked at him with a smile on the side.
Flender grabbed his son and asked with a stern face, "Did you cooperate well with the team this time?"
Roger shrank his neck, he was a little afraid of his father, and said timidly; "They can't keep up with my speed, why should I cooperate with them."
Flender angrily slapped the little guy on the buttocks, making the little guy scream.
"The pass is too weak, I want to shoot!"
Flender chased and killed the little guy angrily, and the little guy also ran like a rabbit in panic.
The two short legs fell fast and were extremely agile.
However, the horse stumbled, and the little guy knocked his feet while running, exclaimed, and fell forward.
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Yi Le stretched out his hand and picked up the little guy.
Then put his hands under the little guy's armpits and lifted him up.
Only then did Roger see Yi Le clearly, his eyes widened.
Yi Le smiled gently and said, "Long time no see, Roger!"
Roger's face flushed red.
A little apprehensive, nervous...
Even though his father told him that Yi Le used to stay at his house and hugged him, but that happened when he was three years old, and Roger didn't remember it at that time.
Therefore, Yi Le is still a strange and distant person to him.
But at this moment, Yi Le suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, it was like a dream.
Luo Jie just looked at Yi Le in a daze, and Yi Le put down the little guy with a smile, rubbed his head, and said with a smile; "Go and wash, ready to eat."
The little guy lowered his head, and said with some twitching, "Mmm..."
While eating, Roger still looked at Yi Le curiously.
Flender said unhappily: "If you have any questions, just ask."
Roger hurriedly pulled the small stool, moved closer to Yi Le, almost stuck to Yi Le, and asked, "How does it feel to play in the Champions League?"
Yi Le blinked and smiled, "Very tired!"
Roger nodded, touched his chin, and pretended to be an adult; "After all, is it the highest league in Europe? And then... and then?!"
"Fun too!"
"interesting?"
"There are many powerful opponents and clubs in the Champions League. The preparation before the game, the maintenance of state, the use of tactics, etc., in the contest of these top teams, there is no room for the slightest difference, because no matter which team it is It takes a small mistake and they kick the ball into the other goal."
"Who is better, you or De Bruyne?"
"De Bruyne is a very good player, but the outside world is saying, I am even better!"
"Wow, Paris has won the Champions League again. I heard that the whole city is crazy! This should be very lively, right?"
Yi Le smiled and nodded, "It's very lively!"
The two sat together, asking one question and answering the other. The little guy quickly opened up the conversation box, and the small mouth kept asking questions.
And Yi Le answered one by one without the slightest bit of impatience.
Listening to Yi Le's talk about his career, Little Roger became more and more yearning.
It's just that Yi Le was talking about the good side of his career, and he didn't mean to mention the troubles in it.
Moreover, the profession is cruel.
After Yi Le had lunch with Flander's family, it was time for Yi Le to leave.
Before he left, he handed over a bank card.
"Aunt Martina, when I went to London, you provided me with travel expenses, and this is returned to you."
Flender took the bank card and asked, "How much is in it?"
Yi Le said; "There is an old saying in China that the grace of a drop of water is reciprocated by the spring..."
Needless to say, it must be a lot of money.
However, Flender did not put it away, but slapped the bank card on Yi Le's chest with a smile, and said with a smile; "Put it away."
Yi Le said anxiously; "This..."
Flender raised his hand, interrupted Yi Le, and said, "There is an old saying in Spain, gratitude is not with money, but with your feet!"
Yi Le subconsciously looked down, his eyes full of doubts.
Flender laughed and patted Yi Le's shoulder, saying, "Come back to see us often in the future, this is the best reward for us."
Martina also nodded with a smile: "Come on, Yi! Help Barcelona reach the top of Europe, when the time comes, we will go and shout for you!"
Little Roger jumped up and down excitedly, saying: "GO! GO! GO! Fuck them!"
Looking at the expressions of everyone, Yi Le let out a sigh of relief: "Okay, I understand."
After speaking, Yi Le said goodbye to the Flanders family and left the shopping street.
