Chapter 25 Unexpected

After visiting the training ground, the young players came to the locker room, and finally came to the highlight of this trip to Barcelona - the match with the Barcelona U17 football team of the La Masia Football School!

The teenagers put away the relaxed mood during the previous visit, and the expressions on their faces became dignified.

Although head coach Hao Dong was still outside for an interview on Barcelona's official website, the locker room was naturally quiet.

Before the start of the game, head coach Hao Dong will announce the starting lineup for the game.

Although in fact, everyone knows who can play and who can't, but people are always lucky-what if the head coach thinks he is more pleasing to the eye this time and lets him start?

Guo Nu sat in his seat, waiting anxiously.

He was one of those lucky ones.

There was a set of cameras in the locker room, filming the players getting ready for work. At this time, everyone didn't care about the awkwardness of having a camera next to them, and they didn't bother to care about the problem of the camera.

Soon, the door of the locker room was opened, and Hao Dong walked into the locker room with his coaching staff.

All eyes were on him, even Zhou Yi, who thought that he would definitely not be able to start the game.

"Okay, put away your pilgrimage mentality. In ten minutes, the first game of our European tour will start. It's just outside the training ground. There are no stands or spectators, but you Behind the Camp Nou is the Nou Camp. La Masia is very strong, I don’t need to introduce this point... In fact, no team on our way is very weak, they are all stronger than us. But the opponent is very strong, this is not We give up the reason to fight for victory. Every game, I will ask you to go all out to pursue victory. I hope you will remember that more important than winning or losing a game is to have a champion heart that always pursues victory! With this Heart, even if you temporarily encounter setbacks and failures, victory will eventually belong to you!"

What Hao Dong said was extremely provocative, and immediately made the young players excited, eager to compete with La Masia immediately.

However, Zhou Yi's performance is different from these people, because he has played against this team in the virtual system FIFAOL countless times. These days, when he sleeps at night, he is basically fighting against the opponents they are about to face. He even recognizes everyone on this team.

He knew that this game had no chance of winning.

That's why he was very interested in Hao Dong's last sentence. I don't know if the head coach is aware of this, so he finally said, "Even if you encounter setbacks or failures temporarily", is this an inoculation for everyone in advance?

Zhou Yi thought a little too much, but there was no way, who made him have such an active brain?

The enthusiasm of the young players cooled down a little when Hao Dong announced the starting roster. Guo Nu was excited at first, but when he heard that he was not in the starting roster, he quickly cooled down as if he had been poured with cold water.

Zhou Yi's friends Sun Pan and Yang Muge both got the chance to start, and roommate He Ying naturally also started.

When everyone left the locker room and re-appeared, they found that there were more people around the La Masia training ground, which was still a little deserted. In addition to the Chinese faces who were members of the film crew, there were also some unfamiliar faces. .

Zhou Yi and the others don't know who these people are. These people are actually the staff of La Masia's youth training camp. They are curious about this special game and come here specially - they also want to see the strength of Chinese football teenagers Exactly how.

The starters went straight onto the court, and the substitutes followed the coaches to sit on the courtside benches, a bench without a backrest. It's a veritable "bench".

Zhou Yi and Guo Nu sat down next to each other—in fact, Guo Nu didn’t want to sit with Zhou Yi.

But apart from Zhou Yi, no one seems willing to sit with him...

※※※

Although it was just a warm-up match that was not open to the public, the two sides still deliberately made it very formal. For example, there was a ceremony for the captains of the two sides to exchange small gifts before the game, there was also coin guessing, and there was a group photo.

As the captain, He Ying wore the captain's armband and exchanged team flags with the opposing captain.

Zhou Yi knew the captain of Barcelona—not that he was very familiar with this person, but that he had played against him countless times in the world of FIFAOL, and he knew the name and ability of this person. His information is actually ignorant.

After all, not all fans will pay attention to the echelon of a club, unless he is a die-hard fan of this team. But unfortunately, Zhou Yi is not a fan of Barcelona.

Marc Baltra, the captain of the Barcelona U17 youth B team, serves as a defender with outstanding strength.

Seeing Baltra shaking hands with He Ying, the image that popped up in Zhou Yi's mind was the image of Baltra successfully defending He Ying again and again in the world of FIFAOL.

I don't know if He Ying's performance in reality will be better...

At least...score a goal, right?

※※※

The game started very quickly. During the first period of the game, because the La Masia Youth B team didn't know enough about the Chinese teenagers, or maybe it was because they didn't pay attention to their opponents. In short, the Chinese team also played A threatening attack.

In the end, He Ying shot ahead of Bartra, and the football slid out of the goal.

The teammates around Zhou Yi were very excited and jumped up to cheer for He Ying, cheering for their team.

Zhou Yi regretted that He Ying missed such a chance to score, because he was very familiar with the La Masia Youth B team and knew that this might be He Ying's last chance to score in this game...

Zhou Yi guessed right. He Ying's kick certainly boosted the morale of the Chinese team, but it also greatly stimulated the players of the La Masia Youth B Team.

They didn't take this game seriously at first, but now they are all serious.

Xu Tao, the director of the reality show, was also very happy after seeing He Ying's wonderful performance. With such a wonderful performance by the Chinese team, why is the ratings of this reality show not high?

But soon his smile disappeared.

After the La Masia Youth B team started to go all out, the Chinese team quickly felt the pressure.

Just five minutes after He Ying missed the goal, the La Masia Youth B team scored.

Zhou Yi, who scored goals for them, is also very familiar-Guy Asulin, a small winger with fast speed and extraordinary sharpness.

And this ball was scored by his speed after breaking through the Chinese team's defender and entering the penalty area.

Faced with his shot, although Sun Pan made a save, he was still a little slow.

Sun Pan, who lost the ball, was very annoyed, and he beat the turf hard.

The teammates around Zhou Yi also sighed, and Zhou Yi still had a calm expression on his face.

It's not that he doesn't feel sorry for the team conceding the ball, but because he's used to it... In the FIFAOL system, he has seen such a conceding goal countless times, and that virtual Asulin also scored goals like this , relying on speed to throw off the opponent, enter the penalty area, and then directly face the goalkeeper.

Sun Pan attacked, and then Asulin kicked an arc, the football bypassed Sun Pan's hand and flew into the goal behind him...

La Masia scored and China conceded.

Even in reality, Sun Pan's performance after losing the ball is the same as in the virtual system, annoyed and unwilling.

Zhou Yi was annoyed and unwilling at the beginning, but when you lose dozens of games and witness more than a hundred conceded goals, no one will show the annoyance and unwillingness in your heart.

Zhou Yi knew that this loss was just the beginning...

※※※

Zhou Yi "guessed" right again.

After Asulin's goal, La Masia's Youth B team did not intend to stop. They seemed to be completely irritated by the Chinese team's opening attack, and they wanted to let the Chinese team know what would happen if they angered them.

So next, the goals appeared one after another.

In the first half alone, the La Masia Youth B team scored eight goals!

The number 8 on the scoreboard representing the score of the La Masia Youth Team B was red, as if it had been smeared with blood, and the wet blood continued to slide down, leaving streaks of blood... It was dizzying to see.

The number 0 on the Chinese side represents the black color of death.

The bench of the Chinese team has been completely silent. When they lost the ball at the beginning, they screamed again and again, and then there was only moaning and sighing. Now, even the moaning and sighing are gone, and the silence is like death.

No, it cannot be said to be deathly still.

At least by Zhou Yi's side, there were still some subtle voices.

Zhou Yi heard beside him, at Guo Nu's position, there was a low roar similar to that of a wild beast from deep in his throat.

He turned his head to look, and found that Guo Nu was gritting his teeth, clenched his hands into fists, staring at the field with a look of rage.

"Hello, old Guo."

he called softly.

But Guo Nu ignored him.

But Zhou Yi always has a way to move others.

"Do you like losing?" he asked.

Hearing this question, Guo Nu suddenly turned his head and stared at him, as if he wanted to kill Zhou Yi.

"You, like, like?" He stared at Zhou Yi, gnashing his teeth word by word. There was no stuttering this time, otherwise it would have spoiled the atmosphere too much.

"I don't like losing either." Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "But look, Lao Guo."

He points to the field.

"Whether you like it or not, this is the gap between us and them. It's like going from China to Barcelona. I don't want to lose, I just talk about it. It's very simple. But it's difficult to do it. The correct way."

Guo Nu sneered: "Then you have?"

"I'm looking for it," Zhou Yi said.

Guo snorted angrily, took this as Zhou Yi's shameless bragging, and decided not to communicate with Zhou Yi who was out of his mind.

Everyone on the bench felt frustrated and miserable about the score and the scene, just as he looked nonchalant, as if he didn't care about the team's winning or losing at all.

He has wronged Zhou Yi.

How could Zhou Yi not care?

He wants to win more than anyone else, otherwise how could he only play against the La Masia Youth B team from beginning to end?

He is indeed looking for a way to find everyone's weaknesses and test his ideas in repeated matches with this team. If there is only one correct idea in a hundred, then find the right way through ninety-nine failures.

This method sounds stupid, but it is the only way.

When you are facing a large swamp, you don't know whether you will sink into the mud if you step on it, and you also know how to get out of the swamp. The only way is to try, one foot after another, and if you fail, you will turn into bones in the swamp, reminding those who come after you - this place cannot be walked, please detour.

In this way, countless people's lives were finally used to wade out a road in the swamp, a road of life that would allow latecomers to walk out of the land of death.

For Zhou Yi and his teammates, La Masia is like a vast swamp, with no end in sight, no way to go around, lying on their westward road, if they can't get through, they will die here.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi has a system that can be tested countless times. He walks in the system without paying the price of his life, because even if he misses, he can still be resurrected with full blood and full state, and then start all over again .

PS, I found out that there is another leader today, thank you Tianruoshui for the reward, yes, I am back to the starting point again!

Because there is one more leader, a new chapter will be added tomorrow, three more!

In addition, let me make a complaint. This part of the plot is about La Masia. I found a lot of information to describe what La Masia is like. But the most difficult thing is not the two-story building, but the training ground of La Masia. , which is the venue where Zhou Yi and the others played.

I want to determine where the field is and what it looks like, but I found that there is no mention in the information, at most it is a field of artificial grass, and it is only one, but it is located somewhere in the La Masia Football School, and Barcelona What is the relationship between the location of the club's first team training base, it is unclear. There is information that the La Masia training ground is very close to the Nou Camp, but how close is it? Is it one kilometer or hundreds of meters?

do not know.

I always find it difficult to write without a specific direction in my mind, so I have to find it myself.

It took nearly a day, opened more than a dozen web pages, used Google Maps and Google Earth, and finally found clues in an old photo of the Nou Camp Stadium-in fact, the La Masia training ground is located in the Nou Camp. Next to Camp, there are no tens of meters, and it may be only a dozen meters from the outer wall of Camp Nou.

But why can't I find it on the map?

Because the maps are all versions of the last few years, the place where the La Masia training ground used to be on it has become a concrete parking lot!

The La Masia Football School has also moved from the farmhouse to the newly built Gamber Sports City in Barcelona. There is a dedicated training center called "Toth Training Center". So the former artificial grass training ground has become a parking lot. No wonder I can't find it on Google Maps or Google Earth...

But Zhou Yi and the others challenged La Masia in 2008. At that time, the La Masia football school hadn't moved yet, and it was still at the old address.

Although it took most of the day without writing a single word, but to be honest, when I found the final information, I still felt a sense of accomplishment. And there is a clear idea in my mind, I can finally write... no, it's typing on the keyboard.

This can be regarded as a little tidbit of the writing of this book.

I will take up a little of everyone's time and chatter for everyone. If you don't mind being bothered, I will tell you about similar tidbits in the future.

Thanks!

Don't forget that tomorrow is the third watch!
