this is football

Ten years have passed, I don’t care about these days.

As usual, Lei Ou ran in the morning and evening to exercise physical fitness, practiced his ball skills on the field field, and worked as a cleaner for half a day with Aunt Laura.

As the time got closer and closer, Su Mei could no longer sit still, feeling anxious and uneasy mixed with excitement.

I am afraid that Lei Ou will not succeed in the trial training. At the same time, I am looking forward to the day when my dream will come true.

The motivation for the family to stay in Barcelona is that Lei Ou joins La Masia. This is the hope of the whole family and the last wish of the sister and brother-in-law.

On this day, the early morning sunshine poured into the rental house through the small window, and the day of trial training finally came.

Su Mei got up early, made a hearty breakfast, and then checked Lei Ou's luggage bag.

There were only two changes of clothes and toiletries in the bag. She had checked it several times, but she was still worried.

Elders may be like this, so nervous that they don’t know what to do.

For this trial training, all food and accommodation will be at La Masia Youth Training, so I have to bring my luggage with me.

The family had breakfast. Lei Ou wanted to go by himself, but Su Mei insisted on taking Su Hu to see him off.

I got on the bus and arrived at Gamber Sports City. There were many people crowded at the door, obviously all La Masia trial players.

"Okay, let's stop here!" Lei Ou grabbed Su Mei's luggage.

"Please pay attention to your health in there. You haven't left me since you were a child. I'm still a little uncomfortable with being away suddenly for so long." Su Mei's eyes were a little red.

"Auntie, how old am I? I can take care of myself. Besides, if you enter La Masia and I live here for a long time, you have to learn to adapt." Lei Ou said with a smile.

"Hey, okay! You can't help your mother when you are older!"

Su Mei suddenly sighed, then looked at Su Hu: "Goodbye, brother."

"Brother, you can definitely do it!"

Su Hu stretched out his small fist and bumped it with Lei Ou. This was a way of encouragement between men.

Su Mei and her daughter reluctantly left.

"Oh oh oh! Let me see who it is? Isn't this my old friend?"

Lei Ou turned around and looked at him with an oriental face with a smile. It was Park Se-chang, a wealthy young man from South Korea.

"Wrong, we should be considered new friends." Lei Ou corrected.

Pu Shichang frowned and said dissatisfied: "Brother, you deceived me, how can you make up for it?"

Lei Ou said seriously: "The most I can do is hide it from you, so how can I lie to you?"

Park Shichang thought for a while, sighed and said: "Strictly speaking, it is true, then I will forgive you."

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet someone."

As he spoke, like an old friend, Park Shichang hugged Lei Ou and walked to the extended Hummer, where a beautiful Western girl with blond hair was waiting.

Western girls look older than their age, and Lei Ou is not sure how old she is.

"Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend."

Lei Ou greeted the girl reluctantly, really at a loss for what to do on this occasion.

"I'll go in first." Lei Ou said and left.

"Wait for me!"

Park Shichang reluctantly said a few words to the girl, then kissed her on the forehead and turned to follow Lei Ou.

"Is this really okay with you?" Lei Ou said.

Falling in love at a young age is a bit disrespectful for a position player.

"What does this mean? Endrick broke up with his girlfriend when he was 16 years old. What does this mean to me?" Park Shichang said confidently.

Enderrick, 26 years old, Brazilian, No. 7 of Real Madrid, is also the team's star.

Lei Ou didn't know anything about these gossips. In short, he felt that it was a bit undisciplined to find a girlfriend too early.

Following the flow of people, the two came to the La Masia youth training camp to report. They were both assigned to the U16 echelon, and then were assigned to the dormitory to put their luggage.

In the two-person dormitory, after each chose their own bed, Park Shichang said dissatisfied: "If I had known about such conditions, I wouldn't live here."

It is not mandatory to live here, you can choose by yourself. La Masia considers the foreigners and poor people to implement this policy.

Lei Ou didn't want to be distracted, so he chose to stay at the beginning, "You still have time to leave."

"If I don't leave, why would I leave if I have a friend with me?"

Park Shichang lay on the bed and said, "Do you know anything about this place?"

"No." Lei Ou shook his head.

Park Shichang started talking nonstop, and Lei Ou gained some knowledge.

La Masia youth training camp covers an area of ​​6,000 square meters and is equipped with 7 mixed lawn training fields. There are 12 echelons from U8 to U19, each echelon has about 20 students, all with dedicated head coaches, assistant coaches, physical fitness coaches

Coaches and physical therapists, etc.

Lei Ou frowned unconsciously, "With such a big investment, are you sure it won't cost anything?"

I have long heard that La Masia does not charge any fees, but after hearing what Park Shichang said, I was a little worried. It would not be a coincidence, right?

"You really think too much. What does this little money mean to Barcelona?" Park Shichang stood up and wanted to smoke a cigarette but gave up after thinking about it.

This is not outside. If others see it, it will affect your future.

"How many people will we recruit this time?" Lei Ou asked.

"I don't know, but there will never be too many in each echelon. The 20 principle remains unchanged, and each echelon has a maximum of 21 people." Park Shichang answered confidently, having long been familiar with the various rules of La Masia.

The u19 echelon has graduated and some have become professional players, but many more have not been able to follow this path. The success rate of professional schools like La Masia is only about 10%.

Currently, u8 will recruit 20 people. Due to various reasons, people from each echelon are leaving, so they need to be supplemented.

This is also the case for the U16 team where Lei Ou is located. The key lies in the lack of a few people in the echelon.

The radio suddenly called for assembly, and the two of them ran out quickly.

At the La Masia training ground, a group of trial trainees stood on the grass. In front of them were Puyol and the coaches of each echelon.

Puyol held the microphone in his hand and said: "Dear children, good morning, welcome to La Masia!"

"Your dreams will start from here. So, in the next week, let me and the head coaches see your abilities, your perseverance, and your ambitions."

"If you can impress us, you will have a chance to stay here. If you can't, you will receive an unforgettable experience."

"Children, this opportunity should not be missed, it will never come back. Cherish this rare opportunity!"

With a few simple words, Puyol ignited the fighting spirit of the trial trainees, and the applause was particularly warm.

Of course, some children who didn't understand were confused, but they also clapped cooperatively.

Puyol continued: "There is no special task today, I just want to show you around and let you know about La Masia and Barcelona!"
