There is a dream called football

Outside instep curve ball.

On the small court, Lei Wen played over and over again for more than a dozen times, but he just couldn't find the feeling that Li Qiao had.

"Are you sure you're not blind?"

"Haha, just hide it and let me see."

The second year of high school is over and the summer vacation has begun. Li Qiao and Lei Wen have more time to play football. During the break in training, Lei Wen took out a booklet and handed it to Li Qiao.

"What is this?"

On the cover is a bald man with a pair of sunglasses, who looks just like the big guys in the movie The Godfather.

Raven pointed to the old man in sunglasses on the cover, "This is the famous Italian coach Arrigo Sacchi, who is also the current technical director of Real Madrid."

Li Qiao opened the booklet, and three lines of words appeared at the top. The top one was unknown, the middle one was in English, and the bottom one was in Chinese.

“Real Madrid Football Training Camp!”

"Yes, 100 countries around the world were selected, and our country is among them."

Li Qiao read quickly, first of all, the rules of the China area.

Registration is nationwide. The first round is a written test, which tests the theoretical knowledge of football. The top 100 students can stay in the capital and participate in the Real Madrid football training camp.

These 100 people will train for 10 days, and a dedicated coach will rate each person. After 10 days, the top 10 people can go to Madrid and enter Real Madrid's famous youth training base La Fabrica to participate in the global training camp.

The first 10 days are theoretical teaching and football English inspection, and then there is the exam, and the top 100 students will be given special training.

These 100 people will still receive 10 days of training in La Fabrica, and will be scored by a dedicated person. The top 10 people in the final score can enter the Real Madrid Youth A Team.

Real Madrid's youth training is very complicated, but to put it simply, under the first team is the famous Castilla, and then there is the U19 echelon.

Li Qiao closed the booklet after reading it, "This is harder than getting into Harvard."

Lei Wen was also happy. It was indeed like this. It was still possible for Li Qiao and Lei Wen to choose the final 10 people in China. But when we arrived in Madrid, there were 1,000 people and only 10 people were left. That would be really difficult.

"Do you want to go to the capital to participate?" Li Qiao asked with a smile.

"I thought about it in my dream, but in reality..." Raven smiled bitterly. Not only was it a difficult problem, but it was also impossible for his parents to agree to it.

"Go if you want. It's summer vacation anyway. If you can't choose, the best thing you can do is come back and study in your senior year of high school and take the college entrance examination."

"My parents won't agree."

"Then you can tell a white lie." Li Qiao laughed slyly.

"Fool them?"

"Don't say it so harshly. Just say you're going to the capital to participate in the National Mathematical Olympiad Summer Camp."

puff!

How dare you!

But as soon as these words came out, Lei Wen thought. Sometimes dreams need someone to encourage them, and this time Li Qiao played such a role.

"Li Qiao, are you going?"

"Go!"

"Uncle Li, can Aunt Zhou agree?"

"I will tell them anyway that I am going to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad summer camp. As for whether I will agree or not, I don't know."

"Haha, what if we get betrayed?"

Li Qiao stood up and said, "There are so many eventualities. We have no regrets in pursuing our dreams. We went to participate, but in the end we were defeated. There is nothing to say. That is because our skills are inferior to others. But if we don't go, we will come back in 10 years."

Thinking of today, I think you will regret it."

The blood in Raven's heart was always simmering, but Li Qiao's words were like turning on the gas. Raven felt a boiling feeling, and his hands began to tremble.

"Okay! Let's go then."

"Okay, let's get ready tomorrow, and we'll set off the day after tomorrow."

*****

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Li Shan arrived at the underground parking lot as usual, and was about to open the car door when he heard someone behind him shout "Dad."

"Li Qiao."

There is another person behind Li Qiao.

"Raven, what are you two doing here?"

Li Qiao was not good at lying, so he revealed his lies as soon as he opened his mouth, "We are going to participate in the National Mathematical Olympiad Summer Camp."

"Math Olympiad summer camp? Who is the teacher?"

"this……"

Li Qiao was stunned, and Li Shan suddenly turned serious, "Where are you going?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Li Qiao handed over the pamphlet. Li Shan scanned it and understood everything, "If I guessed correctly, Raven's family doesn't know about it, right?"

"Dad, if you can't choose us, come back."

"It's nonsense. This is cheating. Lei Wen, go home quickly and don't follow Li Qiao's nonsense."

Seeing that things were about to get worse, Li Qiao said: "Dad, let me ask you, if you were 20 years younger, would you go to this event?"

Li Shan glanced at the brochure and fell silent. To tell the truth, it was not impossible for him to have a chance to play professional football back then. Guangzhou is a big city, so if he really went all out, it would be possible to find a professional club for trial training.

But Li Shan didn't risk it, and he didn't dare to risk it. Thinking about it, he was successful, but he always felt that something was missing.

"Okay, you promise me one thing."

Things took a turn for the better, and the little fire in Li Qiao and Lei Wen's hearts ignited again.

"Dad, tell me."

"Uncle Li, tell me."

"First, since I have gone, I will work hard to get selected and go to Madrid. If I am not selected, then just study hard and stop thinking about football."

Li Qiao and Lei Wen nodded solemnly. They also understood what Li Shan meant. They must be proficient in playing football or studying, and don't do things half-heartedly.

Li Qiao stretched out his hand and said, "Dad, give me the money."

"Haha, this is the real purpose."

The money Li Qiao and Lei Wen saved was only enough to buy air tickets, and the rest of the living expenses and registration fees had to be obtained from Li Shan.

Li Shan took out a card and said, "There are 20,000 yuan here. The password is my birthday plus your mother's birthday. Don't spend money randomly."

"Don't worry, Dad, we will be diligent and thrifty when we get to the capital."

Li Qiao patted Raven and said, "Let's go to the airport."

Li Shan waved his hand and said, "Send Buddha to the West Bar. Get in the car and I'll take you two to the airport."

*****

At the beginning of the lanterns, Li Shan and Zhou Ling were finishing their meal.

"The child's father, our son is so awesome. He went to the National Mathematical Olympiad Summer Camp. I heard that if he won the first prize in the National Mathematical Olympiad, he would go directly to Tsinghua University."

Li Shan smiled bitterly in his heart, "Li Qiao, how do you explain your return?"

"Last year we went to Mount Wutai and the fortune teller said that our son would definitely go to Tsinghua University. I feel more and more that that person was right."

"By the way, where is the final exam? Is it also the capital?"

"Could it be that we are in Madrid?" Li Shan said with a smile.

Zhou Ling slapped the table and said, "Be more serious."

Li Shan was really worried that Zhou Lingkong would be having fun, so he asked tentatively: "If our son goes to the capital to participate in other activities, you...don't blame him."

Zhou Ling knew Li Shan too well, and there was obviously something behind his words. She became anxious, "What other activities? Make it clear!"

Li Shan said timidly: "For example, I went to play football."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Ling suddenly became as motionless as a stone statue.
