Green striker

The next morning.

Tarragona.

The pleasant weekend is over and it’s back to normal work Monday again.

"Please bring me a newspaper."

A blue-collar worker who went to work on Monday rubbed his sleepy eyes and came to the bus stop while waiting for the company bus to take him to and from get off work.

He walked to the newsstand next to him and asked the boss for a newspaper he often read as usual to pass the time.

"Jos, did you watch the game yesterday? You know, we won again."

The owner of the newsstand seemed to know him as a regular customer. After handing him the Marca newspaper that he often read, the owner greeted him.

When it comes to us, the team, in Tarragona, there is no doubt that the owner and José are both Tarragona fans.

José took the newspaper and didn't rush to read it.

Because when the boss talked about the game, Jos seemed a little sleepy and his face became energetic.

Jos responded to the boss's words, "Yes! We have won four consecutive games now. I went to watch the game yesterday. Chen Yang's hat trick was very exciting."

"Yes, that young man is great and performed well! He has already scored 7 goals for our team!" The boss agreed with Jos's words.

Then the boss remembered something and joked to Jos: "I still remember that young man you said you met during the trial training?"

"Yes, we know each other." Joss laughed, "I met him on the day of the trial training. At that time, he and I were assigned to the same team for trial training and competition together."

"The first header he scored in the trial match was my assist from a corner kick!"

"When I saw his performance at the time, I knew that this young man would definitely be signed by the team and stand out!"

"After the game, the club sent an email asking about my intention."

"If the Lord hadn't been there and told me that it was time to make another choice, maybe I would have been on the team by this time!"

Talking about what happened at that time, Joss's memory is still fresh when he talks about it now, and it's not bad at all, but the later embellishments are just like bragging.

What is more real is that during the trial training at that time, only Chen Yang was confirmed to have passed the trial training and signed to join the team.

But for the current office worker and white-collar Joes, who knew Chen Yang and even played football together, he used him as a source of conversation about his life and work.

In particular, the better Chen Yang's performance in the team, the more Jos can brag about knowing him.

As for whether Chen Yang still recognizes him, Joes, that is not important at all.

And here, Jos is still bragging along with the boss, and he is also reading the newspaper in his hand.

Spread it out and take a look at the first edition.

Just look at the front page cover of today's Marca newspaper, which shows a man roaring forward, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Next to Cristiano Ronaldo, there is a line of big words, "He makes people believe in the final shot!"

On the side panel, there are new news headlines.

"Seven goals in four games! Tarragona's Chinese striker leads the Segunda División scoring list with high efficiency!"

"Ha." When he saw this, Joss touched his beard. He wanted to read what the newspaper had written about yesterday's game.

Joss began to open the newspaper and read.

“In the third round of La Liga, Real Sociedad lost to Real Madrid 1:2!”

"In the 23rd minute, Real Sociedad forward Rodri scored first."

"Real Madrid equalized the score with a header from Benzema in the 55th minute."

"In injury time, Cristiano Ronaldo cut in from the wing to score the winning goal!"

"In the post-match press conference, Mourinho questioned the referee's professional ability. He said that the referee missed at least two penalty kicks for Real Madrid during the game!"

"For this reason, Mourinho was issued a yellow card as a warning because of his doubts during this game."

"In view of Mourinho's doubts about "bombarding" the referee's ability to take penalties and his relevant words and deeds at the post-match press conference, La Liga officials stated that they have intervened in the investigation."

"If the investigation is conclusive, Mourinho may be fined up to 10,000 euros for his "bombardment" and may be suspended for several games."

"The match between Sporting Gijon and Athletic Bilbao that started at the same time ended in a 2:2 draw."

"Sporting de Gijon ended their opening two losing streak with a draw."

"The coach of Sporting Gijon was very optimistic after the game and said that it is a good thing to score points at home against Athletic Bilbao."

"Currently Sporting Gijon has two losses and one draw in La Liga, and is at the head of the league's relegation zone with one point."

………

Jos looked at the news reports about yesterday's game. After flipping back two pages, he saw what he wanted to see.

"Seven goals in four games!"

"This is the data that the 20-year-old Chinese young forward Chen Yang has played this summer after he signed a free transfer and signed to join the Segunda División Tarragona team after the fourth round of the Segunda División this season.

.”

"At present, Tarragona has scored a total of eight goals in four La Liga games, and Chen Yang alone has scored seven of them."

"Now Chen Yang is leading the Golden Boot in the Spanish Second Division scorer list."

"If he continues to maintain such an efficient scoring momentum, it is initially speculated that this young Chinese forward will score at least 20+ goals after the end of the season!"

When Jos saw this, he automatically ignored the words at the end that other teams and clubs had expressed concern about Chen Yang.

"He's pretty good, isn't he?" the boss said as he watched Joss finish reading the newspaper and sit in the newsstand.

What the boss said, there is no doubt that it is Chen Yang.

"Yes, he is very good." Jos nodded, and then corrected his boss: "But it's not just very good, he is very good!"

"Is there any difference?" The boss didn't quite understand.

"Yes! How come there isn't?" Jos glanced at the boss, "You have never played football with him and you don't know him, so you don't know how good he is."

"Damn it! You just played one game with him and had dealings with him, so what's the point of bragging about it for so long?" The boss was obviously not satisfied with what Jos said.

Jos himself boasted that he and Chen Yang were friends, but after bragging for so long, Jos and Chen Yang had not seen any contact. After getting along for a long time, the boss didn't believe it.

"It's up to you!" And Jos doesn't care whether others believe it or not. "Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, this young man's future will definitely not be in Tarragona."

The boss rolled his eyes, "You're talking nonsense again! Do I need you to tell me?"

"We in Tarragona cannot keep players like Chen Yang even if we want to."

"Then that's it! He's very good, isn't he?" Jos asked the boss in return.

At this time, the company bus also stopped at the bus stop.

After Jos finished speaking, he put his newspaper under his arm and boarded the bus that opened the door.

It’s another day at work.

For Jos, work is boring and hard.

When I pass the time after work, the only things that interest me are things related to football matches.
