Eight Hundred and Seventy-Two, the Man Who Can't Run to Death and Can't Be Beaten

From the beginning of coaching Real Madrid 872, the man who can't run to death and can't be beaten

Western suburbs of Paris, France.

The Rueil-Malmaison district gathers many immigrants from Africa, so it is regarded by many people as a spot attached to the glamorous appearance of Paris.

The black teenager walked out of a small bungalow and walked east along the small street.

He is not tall, dark-looking, and has a big bald head. He is wearing a pure red jersey, which looks very out of place.

In fact, he was already twenty-one years old, but he was short.

They said that it was due to lack of nutrition since childhood.

Or, it was because his house was too small and crowded.

Because the eight of them lived in a very small bungalow.

When he was a child, he accompanied his father to pick up trash in the streets.

Although he is not tall, he is very flexible. He is a recognized expert in picking up waste.

It seems that at this moment, he walks through the street with brisk steps, as if he has returned to the years when he accompanied his father to pick up waste.

Going out of the house and walking about two kilometers to the east, you can see three sports fields side by side from north to south.

The northernmost is the track and field, where many people like to run. To the south are two standard football fields side by side, and there is a sports center in the middle.

This is a football club called JS Suresnes.

An unknown amateur team.

Many people don't know that, in fact, Everton's central defender Distin also received training here. After he emerged, he was spotted by Paris Saint-Germain. He didn't stay in Suresnes for a long time.

From a very young age, the black teenager has heard many people say that playing football can also make money.

When he came to Suresnes and heard about Distin, he dreamed that one day he would be able to perform well like Distin, be spotted by a big team, leave Suresnes, and take With his family, he left the small bungalow in Rueil-Malmaison.

But he was too short and thin.

The coach Peter Vointina from Poland praised him for being smart, quick to learn, quick to respond, very good in physical fitness and extremely flexible in movement, but his body is too poor.

Being thinner and shorter than others is very disadvantageous on the court.

"Professional football is a physical game, you are not fit to play, N'Golo."

N'Golo Kanter has heard words like this many times.

All the young players who come to js Suresnes have the dream of becoming a professional player. They are either talented and quickly picked up by other teams, or they are lost in the crowd and recognize themselves after a while. , accepted his mediocrity and left.

But only he persisted.

He played for ten years in this unknown amateur team on this uneven grass.

He is inconspicuous, and even a crop of students,

Coming and going, no one paid attention to him at all.

Until last year, one day, the chairman of js Suresnes saw Kanter’s persistence and persistence and won him an opportunity. He went to Boulogne-sur-Mer, a port city in northwest France 260 kilometers away.

This is a Ligue 2 team, but already on the verge of faltering.

On Kanter's first day with this team, they told another great story.

The popular French international and the core leader of Bayern Munich, Franck Ribery, came out of Boulogne that year.

There are even many legends about him left here, for example, he has moved bricks, for example, a certain teammate once went with him to a certain remote alley that cannot be seen by outsiders...

Everyone in this team is targeting Franck Ribery, dreaming that one day they will be able to walk out of Boulogne.

But Kanter dared not think so.

Because he couldn't even gain a foothold in Boulogne.

He's like someone who goes completely unnoticed.

Except for running.

Boulogne occasionally arranges an extreme running test, and Kante is the best runner in the team.

When everyone was exhausted and stopped, he could still run lap after lap, non-stop, as if he would never be tired.

Therefore, everyone gave him a nickname, Kanter who can't run!

He scootered every day, carried a small backpack to training, and then, came home.

In his life, there is only football.

Because he knows that he has a way out only by playing football.

In the just-concluded season, Boulogne ranked second to last in Ligue 2 and was relegated tragically.

Kante played well in Boulogne's youth team. In the last round of the league, after a few rounds of relegation in advance, he was distracted and fell apart. In order to prepare for the French third-tier league next season, he was transferred to the first team.

Even so, he only got 11 minutes.

But luckily, the team decided to keep him.

As soon as the season ended, Kante returned to Rueil-Malmaison from Boulogne-sur-Mer. He shared the good news with his family, made them all happy for him, and told them that he would take them away from this ghost. place, closer.

He walked briskly all the way to js Suresnes, and wanted to tell his teammates and coaches the good news.

As a result, when he walked two kilometers and came to the training ground, he found that there was no one there.

There are fewer and fewer people training here, whether they are coaches or bosses, they are all working part-time.

Kanter was standing on the sidelines, facing the dilapidated training ground. He looked at it for a long time, as if he saw the figure he was chasing in this stadium back then, and also seemed to see himself standing on the court, looking up at the sky, Visions of the future.

He is twenty-one years old.

Although he hasn't accepted his fate yet, he feels that he seems to be getting further and further away from his dream.

However, no matter what, he would never give up until the last moment.

He is not only an undead Kanter, but also an unbeatable Kanter!

Just when Kanter let out a long sigh in frustration and turned to leave, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

It was the cheapest Nokia he had bought when he left Boulogne-sur-Mer, and it could only answer calls.

"Hello."

"Hello, N'Golo Kante?"

"Yes, who is it?"

"Hello, N'Golo, I'm the chief scout for the Premier League team Leeds United, my name is Steve Walsh."

"English... Premier League? Leeds United?"

"Yes, you should have heard the name of our team."

"Of course, you are said to be the best upgraded team in the history of the Premier League."

"Oh, thanks for the compliment, but let's get down to business," said Steve Walsh.

"You say." Kanter's voice trembled.

"Someone recommended you to us. We specially arranged scouts to go to Boulogne-sur-Mer to understand your situation, including training and competition. Although I only watched one of your matches in Ligue 2, we think you are A player with great potential."

"Me?" Kanter was very surprised.

"certainly."

"But... I only played... 11 minutes." Kanter himself was a little embarrassed.

"It's more about your training, kid," Steve Walsh reassured.

Kanter was surprised because no one had ever said anything like that to him, ever.

"Excuse me, can you...can you tell me who recommended me to you?"

Steve Walsh on the other side of the phone was silent for about three seconds, and said with a smile: "You must have heard his name, kid."

Kantor didn't answer, he was waiting.

"profound!"

"High...deep?" Kanter exclaimed.

"Don't be surprised, kid, someone sent him your training video, he saw it and thought you were a very promising player, so he recommended you to us, I watched your game and training video, Your running coverage ability is really excellent, and there are still many shortcomings at the technical and tactical level, but we have learned that your learning ability is very strong and your progress is very fast."

"Come to Leeds United! We will definitely be able to help you improve and grow, and you will become an excellent professional player here."

"Can I...can I?" Kanter was suddenly not confident enough.

Because the whole thing came so suddenly that he was completely unprepared.

Leeds United, he knows it, and he knows it too.

But what qualifications does he have to be favored by Gao Shen and Leeds United?

"Believe in our professional vision, and also believe in our boss Gao Shen, you know, he is the best Bole in the world!"

Kanter was moved.

He has no reason not to be moved.

"Boulogne, we have already negotiated. They didn't even ask for a transfer fee, so they gave you the green light." Steve Walsh smiled a little bit on the phone.

"Looking back, I will arrange for our scouting colleagues in France to visit your home in person, and we will talk about it in detail at that time. Of course, if you want, we also welcome you to come to Leeds directly, and we will have a face-to-face interview."

"Can you see Gao Shen?" Kanter asked.

He really wanted to see this Bole who had recommended him.

Although, like everyone in the world, he has seen him countless times in newspapers and on TV.

"There may be no way for the time being. He is still on vacation. However, there may not be no chance. He has mentioned your name to us many times. He said that he has seen a different light in you."

Kanter was so excited that he almost cried.

Just a moment ago, he was still unable to play in a relegated French second team, but now, he has suddenly become a player favored by the world's number one coach, Gao Shen. The gap is too great.

It was so different that he could hardly believe it.

"Son, we have learned about your family's situation. You can come and have a look first. If we sign the contract, we can arrange work for your family and you can settle down in Leeds."

After listening to what Steve Walsh said, Kanter had no more hesitation at all.

Leeds United has considered almost all aspects for him, why should he hesitate?

"Sir, I would like to go to Leeds United!"

"Okay, our colleagues will contact you and book tickets for you. I look forward to meeting you in Leeds."

After hanging up the phone, Kanter was still in a daze.

He even felt like he was dreaming, which was very unreal.

However, looking at the mobile phone that hadn't turned off the screen, he knew that it was true.

He has a very strong premonition: the trajectory of his life will change from this moment!
