Chapter 74

Sun Pan, Guo Nu and Yang Muge were sitting at the table, chatting about Zhou Yi while eating, they were curious why the head coach asked Zhou Yi to go.

"Isn't it clear about the fake resume?"

"Maybe it's something else?"

"What else can happen?"

...

While discussing, I saw Zhou Yi walking into the restaurant and looking around.

"Here!" Sun Pan stood up and raised his arms and shouted.

Zhou Yi followed his reputation, found them, and walked straight to them.

"You don't want to pick up the meal?" Sun Pan looked curiously at Zhou Yi who came empty-handed.

"Oh..." Zhou Yi came back to his senses, and he turned around to pick up the meal again.

"I always feel that Zhou Yi is a bit strange..." Yang Muge frowned.

"A little bit, I don't even have time to eat." Sun Pan nodded, agreeing with his roommate. "Look, he passed by his favorite ham, but he didn't even look at it! Speaking of it...why does it feel like he's absent-minded..."

Sun Pan frowned and took a breath.

"Hey, let's guess whether it's a good thing or a bad thing?" Soon Sun Pan had a new idea.

"I don't think it's a good thing..." Yang Muge guessed.

"I think it's a bad thing too!" After finishing speaking, Sun Pan cast his eyes on Guo Nu.

Guo Nu stammered, "Bad, bad...bad thing."

"It's all bad things? Damn, what a joke! No, Lao Guo, you have to say it's a good thing!" Sun Pan forcefully arranged.

Guo Nu wants to cry but has no tears—then you still let me guess!

"Okay, it's settled like this, Yang Muge and I guess it's a bad thing, Lao Guo guesses a good thing, and the person who guessed wrong will treat the person who guessed right to eat ice cream!"

Guo Nu wanted to say that this was unfair, but at this time Zhou Yi had already walked back with a plate.

Compared with his plate which was always full of food in the past, Zhou Yi's plate seemed much empty this time.

Just looking at the difference on the plate, Guo Nu felt that he was doomed...

"Come on, what's the matter?" Zhou Yi had just sat down, and Sun Pan said to him as if interrogating a prisoner.

Zhou Yi bowed his head and randomly fiddled with a broccoli on the porcelain plate with a fork, looking preoccupied.

"Tell me quickly, if there is something unhappy, tell it to make everyone happy!" Seeing Zhou Yi's appearance, Sun Pan was sure to win, and urged triumphantly.

Under the eager eyes of the three people, Zhou Yi said in a low voice, "Arsenal is looking for me..."

"Haha..." Sun Pan's laughter stopped abruptly: "What did you say?!"

"A scout from Arsenal came to me and asked if I wanted to go to Arsenal..." Zhou Yi looked up at the surprised Sun Pan and said.

"I—rely—!!"

Everyone in the restaurant turned their heads to look at Sun Pan, but he himself stood up at some point...

Yang Muge and Guo Nu who were beside them also looked at Zhou Yi in shock.

Someone in the restaurant coughed violently, it was Liang Qiqi. He was enjoying the after-dinner fruit—grapes.

As soon as he put the grapes in his mouth, he heard Sun Pan's ghostly crying "I'm sorry", which made his hands and mouth tremble, and finally sucked the whole grape into the trachea... Choked him to cough again and again, tears They coughed up, and a layer of sweat came out of their backs.

Fortunately... In the end, he spat out the grape and swirled it on the porcelain plate with saliva. The food that was delicious before almost killed him, and now it seems that he has no appetite at all...

"Let no one eat it..." Liang Qiqi roared angrily, but his roar was interrupted by Sun Pan, who had a louder voice than him.

"Arsenal?!! Arsenal looking for you?!!"

Hearing this sentence, everyone was shocked, and even He Ying raised his head and cast a surprised look at Zhou Yi.

"Is it bad news that Arsenal is looking for you?" Sun Pan still stood,

His eyes widened and he questioned Zhou Yi.

"I didn't say it was bad news..." Zhou Yi spread his hands, not understanding how the term "bad news" came out, and it obviously didn't appear in their previous conversations.

"Then you look like a dead relative! And!" Sun Pan pointed to Zhou Yi's empty plate and said, "You don't even have the heart to eat dinner!"

"Oh, I'm a bit distracted... because I'm not sure if it's the right thing to say no to Arsenal..."

"..."

This time Sun Pan was stunned for a moment, as if the frame was stuck, and then he suddenly turned into the "Roaring Emperor" Ma Jingtao, opened his mouth wide at Zhou Yi, and roared like a lion: "You have a sick mind! !You rejected Arsenal! Arsenal! Ah! Sen!!! Na!!!!"

With a "crash", all the teammates who were scattered all over the restaurant before appeared in a swarm next to Zhou Yi's table and surrounded them.

There were only two exceptions. One was Liang Qiqi. Although he was curious, he didn't want to flatter Zhou Yi's stinky feet. The other person was He Ying. He didn't get up because he was next to Zhou Yi's table. Although he was squeezed outside, he could clearly hear the voices inside.

Zhou Yi looked at Sun Pan in surprise: "So you are an Arsenal fan..."

"It doesn't matter! And neither do I! You ask your teammates, you ask them how they react after hearing you say that!" Sun Pan said to the teammates watching.

The teammates echoed and asked: "Yes, what's going on? Zhouyi?"

"Are you spotted by Arsenal? Awesome! How amazing it is to be valued by Arsenal! We are the first in the team! Why did you reject it?"

"Reject? Zhou Yi, are you out of your mind? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"That's right, Zhou Yi, what do you think?"

Everyone chatted to express their doubts and concerns.

"It's not a rejection, it's just... I didn't agree."

"Why don't you agree? There is no need to hesitate and think at this time!"

"Because they couldn't give me a first-team commitment."

The people around suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

For the first time, there was an obvious expression change on He Ying's face - he was dumbfounded.

※※※

Hao Dong sent the somewhat disappointed Alan Powell out of the room and turned back. Xu Tao looked at him, the two of them looked at each other, and then shook their heads.

"Why do you think that kid didn't agree?" Xu Tao asked. "Going to Arsenal, what a great opportunity! The first one in our team! I don't know if it will be the only one, just like that... let him blow away!"

"You can't say that, Old Xu." Hao Dong said, "I think the question Zhou Yi raised is also very reasonable. It is correct to think carefully."

"You think it makes sense?" Xu Tao's eyes widened.

"Of course, there is nothing wrong with taking a long-term view. Let me tell you, Lao Xu, we used to be unconfident and felt that we were inferior to Europe, but I think we need to change this understanding. People came to me on their own initiative. Under the circumstances, why can’t you be more confident? It’s not a big deal to ask for a first-team commitment. If you don’t even have this, what will you do? Zhou Yi is already seventeen years old, and he will be twenty years old in three years. If he can’t make it For the first team, he can only play in the reserve team, I think that ruined him."

Hao Dong, as a player, has also experienced studying abroad, and his words are still very convincing in terms of football.

Xu Tao was silent when he heard it, and then he sighed: "This kid is quite deceptive. His performance just now made me think he was stunned by a chance that fell from the sky. I didn't expect that later... Ha !"

He laughed.

Hao Dong also smiled.

Thinking of Zhou Yi's series of performances after he came in, he couldn't help laughing.

This kid has too many performances that they can't figure out, but it's this kind of incomprehension that makes him very curious and looking forward to it. How far can this child who dared to sit and sleep on the bench in the future achieve?

After entering the room and knowing that it was Arsenal who came to find him, Zhou Yi's reaction was as if he had won a five million lottery. He was completely taken aback.

If you only look at this point, you will definitely think that this is a young boy who has never seen the world, and he is easily deceived. A few words from others can make him dizzy.

But what happened next really opened Hao Dong's horizons.

As soon as Alan Powell came up, he asked Zhou Yi straight to the point if he was interested in joining the Arsenal club's youth training camp.

Ordinary children, if they have such an opportunity, they will be too happy, right?

Arsenal! A world-renowned football club, especially famous for its youth training. Arsene Wenger, the coach of Arsenal's first team, is notoriously fond of young players trained by youth training.

Going to Arsenal is an excellent choice no matter how you look at it.

If many people receive such an invitation, they may agree directly without even thinking about it.

But to the surprise of the other three people present, Zhou Yi didn't get carried away with joy like a teenager and nodded desperately when faced with such a blatant delivery of cakes.

He asked a question: "Sir, I don't know if you know about my situation? I'm not a professional player yet..."

Powell nodded: "Before you came, I had already learned about you from Mr. Xu, but it doesn't matter, what we value is your talent, and it has nothing to do with what you did before."

After listening to him, Zhou Yi continued, "I have not been selected for the national team either. I am not a national footballer. Then how can I get a labor certificate?"

Even Hao Dong, the interpreter, looked at Zhou Yi strangely when he heard Zhou Yi asking this question—you don’t know why he came to you?

Sure enough, Powell laughed: "We are looking at your talent, so we must sign you as a youth player. This does not involve labor certification issues. You don't have to think about training in Arsenal's youth team." The issue of labor certification, that is a matter for first-team players..."

He also felt that Zhou Yi was thinking too much.

But Zhou Yi asked: "I always want to be promoted to the first team? If I haven't been selected for the national team before that and played enough international A-level matches, it means that I still can't get a labor certificate. Excuse me. what should I do?"

"This..." Powell began to feel that Zhou Yi's question was a bit difficult to answer, or he began to feel that the child in front of him was not the kind of child who could be successfully signed as long as he mentioned the name "Arsenal"...

"I think... we have a lot of cooperative satellite clubs, and we will loan you out to play games to gain experience until you get your labor certification."

"How long is this time?" After listening to Hao Dong's translation, Zhou Yi asked directly without even thinking about it.

"This... I don't know, and actually no one knows, and no one can make such a guarantee..." Powell wondered if Zhou Yi's question was a bargaining tactic, but the problem is... Both sides still What's the point of bargaining without an offer?

After the translation was finished, Hao Dong asked Zhou Yi directly: "I didn't lie to you, Zhou Yi. It's really hard to talk about such things..."

He was afraid that Zhou Yi misunderstood the other party and was full of excuses.

"I know, Mr. Hao." Zhou Yi replied, "I just want to inquire about my status and importance in their hearts. The youth training of clubs like Arsenal is famous all over the world. Naturally, they search for young seedlings all over the world. If you just go to To replenish their youth training base...I always feel unwilling."

Hao Dong looked at Zhou Yi in surprise, he didn't expect Zhou Yi, a bastard, to say such a thing.

He is only seventeen years old!

Then Zhou Yi asked Powell again: "But I know that the Premier League teams have special talent clauses."

After hearing Zhou Yi's words, Powell was stunned for a while, then frowned and said: "There are some, but... there is only one quota every year, so..." He no longer knew what to say, and said bluntly, "So we Is it impossible to use this precious quota on you?"

Seeing his hesitation, Zhou Yi already had the answer, so he said to Powell: "Thank you very much for the Arsenal club's attention and your frankness, Mr. Powell. But I can't promise you now, I don't know whether to choose Arsenal or not. correct."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yi got up and extended his hand to Powell, which meant to shake hands and say goodbye.

Powell still wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he reached out his hand helplessly and shook Zhou Yi.

Then Zhou Yi bid farewell to Xu Tao and Hao Dong, said that he was going to eat, and turned to go out. This conversation is over.

Thinking of this matter now, Xu Tao also felt that Zhou Yi's performance surprised him: "Such a young man, but he is well-organized and polite in the conversation. Should he be said to have a city?"

Hao Dong thought of Zhouyi's explanation to him, shook his head and said, "No, he just has a clear mind and knows which way he should go."
