There is a dream called football

Ring ring ring.

The phone rang rapidly. Zhou Ling looked at the phone number and frowned.

"Li Qiao, this is Lei Wen's phone number."

Li Qiao clasped his hands together and said, "Mom, please."

"If you ask me to lie for you every time, something will happen sooner or later."

After picking up the phone, Zhou Ling agreed softly: "Is this Raven's mother?"

"Lei Wen, do your homework with Li Qiao at our house."

"Don't worry, Li Shan is supervising, and these two boys are being honest!"

"Why……"

"Why……"

"No trouble, no trouble."

From junior high school to high school, Zhou Ling told such a lie countless times. Lei Wen’s family situation was special. His parents were educated in elementary school. However, under the tide of the great times, he became a small and accomplished child with his own hard work.

boss.

They were rich, but their biggest worry was that they didn't go to school well, so their biggest wish was that Raven could get into a good university.

As long as they see Raven doing his homework, they will be happy. As soon as they hear that Raven goes to play football, they will immediately become cold-faced.

so……

Every time Raven goes out to practice, Li Qiao becomes his best cover.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ling smiled bitterly at Li Qiao and said, "How long can I be Pinocchio?"

"It shouldn't be long. We will be seniors in high school in the second half of the year. Raven and I must either study hard or..."

Li Qiao's eyes flashed with cunning, and Zhou Ling smiled and said, "You brat, don't tell me that you were really bewitched by your father."

Li Qiao tied a sandbag on his legs and picked up a football. "Mom, stop talking. Raven should be waiting for me."

Every time Raven's family calls to check on him, it means that Raven must be waiting for him at his old place.

After leaving the door, Li Qiao dropped the football on the ground. The sandbags on his legs were not heavy, weighing five kilograms on both sides, in order to make dribbling a little more difficult.

"Zidane Zidane" is Li Qiao's nickname since childhood. Everyone in this neighborhood knows that Dr. Li's son likes to play with the ball when he has nothing to do.

Li Qiao was jogging with the ball when he suddenly saw a bicycle on the road.

Crotch-wearing is awesome!

The ball passed between the two tires of the bicycle. Li Qiao immediately followed. The ball passed and the person arrived.

It can be said that everything in this community is a prop for him to practice dribbling. In the first few years, he often got into trouble because of it, but now it is better and it is impossible to get into trouble.

While I was running, someone's dog jumped out. I don't know why, but when dogs see round things, they chase them.

Seeing that the dog was about to pounce on the football, Li Qiao stepped on it with his right foot and pulled, but the pup missed.

"No!" Li Qiao shook his finger at the dog, warning it to leave.

Just like this, Li Qiao carried the ball all the way to a nearby elementary school. There was a pitch here where he and Lei Wen usually played football.

The administrator was a nice guy and made a three-part agreement. Raven and Li Qiao could use the court, but they had to help clean and do some things.

When Li Qiao arrived, Lei Wen was already practicing dribbling, doing some very fancy moves from time to time, such as riding a bicycle, and passing by with an ox's tail.

Li Qiao and Raven have completely different football philosophies. Raven likes Spanish football and likes Real Madrid the most, using technology and ball control to win games.

The German football that Li Qiao likes is simple and direct, does not need to be too fancy, but is very practical and the offensive rhythm must be fast.

Lei Wen had already caught a glimpse of Li Qiao and deliberately showed off his footwork, "How about it? This ox tail looks fake, right?"

Li Qiao waggled his fingers and said with a smile: "It's flashy. You can just move it, speed it up, and pass the ball or shoot the ball. Why waste so much time?"

Raven laughed and said: "The Germans' tactics are no longer good. I didn't see how they were defeated by the technically inferior Portugal in the 2000 European Cup."

Li Qiao spread his hands and said, "Then why was Germany, not Portugal or Spain, the one that reached the World Cup final last year?"

"That's shameless."

"Hahaha."

Although Li Qiao and Lei Wen have differences, they have reached a high degree of consensus on the shamelessness of Bangzi.

Raven continued: "Li Qiao, think about it, if our ball possession rate reaches 100% and we don't even give you the ball, then what are you going to do to fight with me?"

Li Qiao laughed and said: "Football is about scoring goals, not ball possession. Even if your ball possession is 100%, if you don't score a goal, you still can't beat me."

Every time we talk about this, we get stuck. It's like Goldbach's conjecture, and no one can explain it for the time being.

Raven's flushed face slowly returned to its original state. No one could convince anyone anyway, "Okay, let's stop arguing. Let's practice football. Practice passing first."

The two people separated from each other and practiced long-distance passing first. In terms of basic skills, Li Qiao and Lei Wen were both similar, and both could unload the ball steadily.

"Li Qiao, draw flat, pass the ball faster and make it more difficult."

With a flat kick, Raven touched the ball, and suddenly a great force came over him. The ball touched his foot like a disobedient child, and then flew away.

"How about it?"

Raven scratched his head, "I've seen players on TV who can easily pass the ball farther than this, but I always can't. I don't know what went wrong."

Li Qiao knew the problem. The two of them had reached a bottleneck in their Wild Fox Zen training. They were considered the best among their peers, but if they wanted to go further, they must receive professional training.

Li Qiao suddenly asked: "Lei Wen, have you ever wanted to go play football..."

Raven laughed and said, "It's so funny. What have we been doing these past few years?"

"No, I mean to play professional football."

As soon as these words came out, Lei Wen was stunned, like an ice sculpture. Many people were like Liu Xing in the TV series "Family with Children", holding a football, patting his chest and shouting, I will join Real Madrid in the future.

But actually taking that step! It’s extremely difficult.

After a while, Raven stammered: "I think! I have been at the Bernabeu in my dreams countless times, but my parents would not agree."

If Li Qiao in the previous life heard this sentence, he would probably have lowered his head and said nothing, but he had met the later Raven. Like himself, he graduated from college, found a good job, and lived a depressed life.

, and the cycle begins again and again.

Li Qiao put his hand on Lei Wen's shoulder, "Le Wen, today we are going to discuss a more profound topic. What kind of life is considered successful?"

Raven was stunned again.

rich?

A job that everyone envies?

A happy family.

Longevity?

Raven thought of many answers, but he did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked: "If I asked you the same question, what would be your answer?"

Li Qiao did not sell it, but said with a smile: "If I look back at the end of my life and feel that I have no regrets, then my life will be successful."

This answer shocked Raven, and it also completely changed the trajectory of Raven's life in the near future.
