Almighty Coach

On the court, Halls broke through with the ball. His extremely fast speed, excellent ball-handling ability, and excellent dribbling allowed him to quickly break into the penalty area between the two defensive players, and then kicked and shot.

"Beautiful!" Henry couldn't help exclaiming.

"The ability to control the ball is very good. There are no redundant actions. When the ball is touched for the first time, it is ready for the next action. This kind of ball control is simple and effective."

"The dribbling of football is not rough, but it is very direct and very deadly. This kind of dribbling allows him to complete the dribble with ease."

"The acceleration is very good. After the body is activated, he can quickly accelerate to the extreme speed state, and his steps are very thin. When running, he can easily complete the change of direction without losing control of the ball. "

"Although he is not tall, his vision is very good. He can always observe changes in the situation on the court in time, and then appear in the position where he should appear most."

Henry completed his preliminary evaluation of Howles in his mind. At this time, he has realized that this kid from Argentina is a football genius!

"Where did this guy come from? Genius, this is a real genius!" After watching Halls' performance, Henry had to admit that even in Real Madrid's youth training camp, he couldn't find him. To a football genius comparable to Halles.

At this time, Henry suddenly felt a sense of frustration. Real Madrid's youth training camp can be said to be the best youth training camp in the world. It gathers talented football teenagers from all over Europe and even the world. It can be said that Real Madrid In the youth training camp, the most indispensable thing is "genius"!

However, today, the brilliance of all the geniuses present was overshadowed by the performance of this Argentine kid. Real Madrid, a team that can dominate the world at the U14 level, was eclipsed in front of Hals.

"This kind of talented player must be a member of Real Madrid! We must get him, he will become the future of the team!" Henry was once the world's number one attacking midfielder and a top superstar in the world. His vision is naturally Incomparably vicious, he has fully seen the infinite potential of Halles.

Henry looked at Dai Li and said, "Coach Li, the kid you brought here is really good at playing football. He has the potential to become a football star."

"Yes, I think so too." Dai Li smiled and nodded.

"I don't know which football club he is playing for now? Is it an Argentine club or an American club?" Henry asked tentatively.

In Henry's view, this kind of talented player must have been selected by the football club long ago, and then he was paid under his command and joined their youth training camp. And with Real Madrid's ability, if Halls was in the youth training camp of European clubs, Real Madrid must have noticed this talented player long ago. So Henry made a judgment that Halles must be playing for a football club in America.

Henry even believes that it may be a good thing for Halls to play in a club in the Americas. Real Madrid can spend some money and buy him directly. Although Halls is a football genius, he is a young athlete after all, and the price will not be too high. Those who are open to money will definitely not be able to withstand the temptation of the near future, but this investment from Real Madrid may Get a future offensive core on the front line.

Henry looked at Dai Li expectantly, hoping to hear the answer from Dai Li, but Dai Li shook his head: "This kid is free now, and he has not joined the youth training echelon of any football club. "

"No?" Henry suddenly showed an unbelievable look.

"Such an outstanding football genius, why hasn't he joined a football club yet? Are all football clubs in America blind? Can't they see the football talent in Hals? This kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable in Europe. It's possible!" Henry was thinking, but his heart became ecstatic, he suddenly had a feeling of picking up a big deal. Since Halls does not have a club, Real Madrid even saves the transfer fee.

So Henry couldn't wait to say: "Coach Li, I am very optimistic about this kid's talent. I think he was born for football. It would be a pity if such a good football talent was wasted."

"Mr. Henry, I understand what you mean. You want to invite Halles to join Real Madrid, right?" Dai Li said straight to the point.

Henry nodded: "Yes, you have also visited just now, our Baldbebas training base has the best football training system in the world, and our logistics support is also first-class, even the youth training echelon players, the accommodation standard is also built according to the four-star hotel. Our life here is no worse than in any other place..."

Henry wanted to continue the introduction, but Dai Li waved his hand and interrupted Henry: "Mr. Henry, please allow me to intervene. With all due respect, Holes may not be able to become a professional player now. Well, Don't get me wrong, I'm not rejecting you, and it's not because of some objective factors, he has some problems himself."

Henry was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly there was a trace of clarity in his heart. He realized that he seemed a little too excited just now, so that he was a little obsessed.

"How can this kind of talented football boy not be favored by professional football clubs? He is Argentine, and professional football in Argentina is also world-class. Those Argentine football clubs cannot miss such a genius. But he is not. The club, there must be something wrong with it, and it is a very serious problem, is it an injury? Or a mental illness? Heck, I should have thought of it just now, and I was really dazzled."

Henry blamed himself for a while, and then asked, "Coach Li, what's wrong with Halles?"

Dai Li didn't hide anything, but answered, "Dwarfism, he suffers from dwarfism."

"It turns out to be like this. I thought he was relatively short, and I thought it was natural, but it turned out to be due to dwarfism." Henry paused, and then continued; "However, if it is treated in time, such as regular injections of growth hormone, He can still grow taller, although it is unlikely to grow into a big man over 1.8 meters, but there should be no problem becoming a professional player."

"What if his epiphysis is closed?" Dai Li asked with a smile, but his tone seemed relaxed.

"The epiphyseal line is closed? Then it's really troublesome." Henry looked at Halls who was running on the court, couldn't help but shook his head, and sighed softly: "This child, what a pity."

Henry also knew what a closed epiphyseal line meant. At this moment, he finally understood why such a talented football boy was not favored by professional football clubs. Dwarfism combined with a closed epiphyseal line had already sealed off the child's players. On the road, it is impossible for him to become a professional football player. For football clubs, he naturally loses his value.

"Mr. Henry, you don't plan to recruit him to Real Madrid now, do you?" Dai Li smiled, and continued: "In fact, he is currently receiving treatment in my training center. Although his epiphyseal line has been closed, Growth hormone injections are no longer useful, but reasonable physical training can still make him grow taller."

"That's true, I hope he can succeed." Henry nodded, but at this moment he seemed a little absent-minded.

Henry knew that the reasonable physical training mentioned by Dai Li might indeed make adolescent children grow taller, but that was only possible. Halls now seems to be only 1.4 meters tall, and if he wants to become a qualified professional football player, he has to grow to about 1.70 meters tall, which is a gap of 30 centimeters.

A dwarf patient whose epiphyseal line has been closed wants to grow 30 centimeters taller only by physical training. In Henry's view, this is more like a good wish, which is almost impossible to achieve in reality.

Therefore, in Henry's eyes, the talented football boy Howers in front of him has lost his value.

What's the use of a football genius who can't become a professional player?

...

On the car back to the hotel, Holes was still breathing rapidly, obviously he hadn't recovered from the exercise just now.

"Did you enjoy playing?" Dai Li asked.

"Exciting!" Halls nodded, and continued: "I have never met such a great teammate, nor have I met such a great opponent. They are much better than the people I met in Argentina. ! I met quite a few new companions today."

"Of course, it's Real Madrid! They have the best youth system in the world, and their age group is also the best in the world. Here, there are many talents like you, and they have talent. , and work hard, maybe among the people you play with today, there will be several future stars." Dai Li said.

Halls nodded, his expression was still full of excitement, and he was still reminiscing about the goal just now.

"Do you want to play in Real Madrid?" Dai Li continued to ask.

"Yes, of course." Howers nodded without hesitation, and there was even more expectation in his eyes.

Dai Li patted Hals on the head, and then said: "Don't be delusional, you can't go to Real Madrid. I mentioned this to them when you were playing football, but they have already refused. You join Real Madrid. Madrid's doors are closed and you can no longer play with those players like you did today."

Howers' expression became lost in an instant. The excitement he had just now disappeared without a trace. Tears flickered in his eye sockets.

"Is it because I'm too short?" Halles refused in a crying tone.

"No." Dai Li shook his head, "It's because you can't grow any taller."

Halles lowered his head and fell into silence.

Dai Li didn't speak any more. He felt that it might be a better choice for Howers to think about it calmly at this moment.

...

Dai Li's next stop was Barcelona, ​​the capital of Catalonia.

Howles's grandmother is Catalan and immigrated to Argentina when he was a child, so for Howles, Catalonia makes him feel more intimate.

As a football giant with the same reputation as Real Madrid, Barcelona is comparable to Real Madrid in all aspects, including their training base and team echelon construction.

Facing Dai Li's visit, Barcelona also sent high-level team officials to personally receive him, and then conducted various visits.

Dai Li helped Halles win another chance to perform on the court, and Halles' talent really conquered the Barcelona club.

But when Barcelona learned that Howers suffered from dwarfism and the epiphyseal line had closed, they also flinched from Howers.

However, Barcelona did not say anything. They said that if Halls can grow taller in a few years, they are willing to give Halls a chance to join the youth academy.

It's a very empty promise, but it's better than nothing.

...

On the way back to the hotel, Halls fell into silence again.

"Barcelona is not worse than Real Madrid, right?" Dai Li asked with a smile.

Howles just nodded, but did not answer.

"Do you want to come here to play football?" Dai Li continued to ask.

"I know, they won't want me. Because I'm too short, no, because I won't grow taller." Halles said, but his tone was full of unwillingness.

Dai Li changed his voice, and then asked, "You also stayed in a professional football club for a while before. Spanish football is different from your Argentine football, right?"

"Here and Argentina are really very different. They are two worlds." Halls said.

"Do you think that you should actually belong here?" Dai Li's expression became serious, and he continued: "You have met a lot of new friends in Spain these days, right? To be honest, their starting point is better than yours. Higher, they are already in the echelon of giant clubs like Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​but you are still a free agent, at least Real Madrid or Barcelona are unwilling to accept you."

"Those who have a higher starting point than you, they are training hard now, they don't waste time and energy running out to play wild football for two or three hours after dinner, they strictly abide by the work and rest time, and they do it wholeheartedly. Training because they want to stay there, they want to be professional."

"I hope you understand that people with a higher starting point than you are working hard. If you want to join them, you have to work harder than them, so that you can narrow the gap with them. The gap between them. If you can't do it, you will really become people from two worlds."

Dai Li pointed to the ground under his feet, and then said: "This is Spain. We will leave here tomorrow. I hope that next time, when you set foot on this land, you will become a professional player. Come on, Halls!"

Howers nodded seriously. At this time, his heart was already burning with fighting spirit. He knew that he could not continue to waste time.

"Coach Li's trick of bringing him to Spain may really work." Chris Payton looked at Howles' stubborn expression, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "What a kid who is born to be strong."
