this is football

On another field, U18 players are having trial training, which is much more intense than U16. The first event is the competition.

On the court, Mila, wearing a green vest, stood in the penalty area like a tower, leaning on the opponent's defensive players and volleying the football into the net.

The head coach looked serious and stared at the situation on the field without blinking.

"Goal?" Puyol came over and asked.

The head coach didn't speak, but slowly stretched out three fingers. He knew who the manager was asking.

Among this group of players, there are only two who are most promising, one is Rudy from U16, and the other is Mila from U18.

"Three?"

Puyol looked in disbelief, "How long has it been since the start?"

"ten minutes."

The head coach paused and continued: "It's not conducive to Mira's growth here!"

With Mira's current strength, he is enough to play the main role in Barcelona B and even be a substitute in the first team.

At u18, it is equivalent to a dimensionality reduction blow, which will delay his growth.

Puyol's eyes fell on the court, he looked at it for about ten minutes, and said: "I will stay with you for three months first, then three months in U19, and then enter the B team. As for when to be promoted to the first team, that's all.

It depends on his ability."

For a promising player, a plan must be made from the beginning.

"Okay, let him get familiar with Barcelona's playing style first. No matter how powerful he is, he still has to adapt."

This is also what worries Puyol.

With Barcelona's style of play, it is difficult to field a big center forward, and Mira is in this position at this time.

As time went by, it was Park Shichang's turn for the U16 side. After a long period of calm, he once again brought applause, but it was incomparable to Rudy.

But it's already good enough.

Royce did not rate him. In addition to dribbling through obstacles, counter dribbling was also an aspect.

As for Rudy, because he is a genius, there is no need to look at other items.

"Am I awesome?" Park Shichang showed off.

Lei Ou nodded, "After Rudy and me, we are better than others."

Having played with him before, Lei Ou has seen his dribbling ability, which is indeed his strong point.

But if he mentioned obstacles, Lei Ou would not accept him.

"You have to practice for another hundred years before you can surpass me." Park Shichang patted Lei Ou on the shoulder and smiled.

Lei Ou didn't respond to his shamelessness, because he was the next one.

Dribbling, passing obstacles, body stretching and coordinated movements, the speed has not slowed down.

I have done this kind of training so many times that I can say that I am familiar with it.

Likewise, he received applause from the trial players.

Royce frowned slightly, then sighed softly, seeming a little regretful.

At the end of the first day of trial training, the young players had no idea how many points they had scored.

But everyone has reached a consensus that Rudy must be first.

After returning from the run, Lei Ou received a call from his aunt, reporting on today's situation.

Then, Sheldon called.

"Brothers, how are you?"

Lei Ou explained the general situation.

"Where do you think you are in dribbling?" Sheldon asked.

"Three or four," Lei Ou thought for a while and said.

This is already a bit conservative. Based on today's performance, he feels that there is hope for second place.

"Okay, if you succeed, I'll treat you to a big dinner." Sheldon on the other end of the phone smiled.

"No, I can't afford to invite you for the time being. If I can really enter La Masia, I would like to meet Mr. Francisco." Lei Ou said calmly.

"Okay, I'll take you there then."

After hanging up the phone, Lei Ou took a shower and went to bed.

What he didn't know was that he was only ranked fifth today.

It’s another sunny day, and it’s also the third day of trial training at La Masia.

The U16 trial event is shooting.

Long shots, penalty kicks, shots from small angles, shots with the ball at high speed, etc.

Come all over again.

On this day, Lei Ou received the highest score, surpassing Brazilian Rudy and the youngest son of a Korean chaebol family.

Royce still had that smiling expression, as if no matter what happened, he was always smiling.

The trial event on the fourth day was passing.

The trial event on the fifth day was speed.

The trial project on the sixth day is defense.

After five days, all projects were completed, and Royce had a good understanding of the players' various abilities.

In the dormitory, Park Shichang breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's finally over."

Lei Ou said: "Is there any hope for us?"

Before coming to La Masia, Lei Ou received a contract from the Spanish and was quite confident in his abilities.

But with the trial training, he only had a feeling that there is a mountain higher than the mountain.

Apart from his better shooting, dribbling and passing performance, there seems to be nothing special about him.

I thought I was very fast, but I didn't expect that there was someone faster. Even this chaebol young man started faster than me.

Nowadays, Lei Ou is a little unsure.

But he always felt that it shouldn't be like this. The trial training shouldn't end like this. There are still many things that haven't been shown.

"Of course there is hope. Rumor has it that the three of us are ranked in the top three overall." Park Shichang said in a low voice.

Three people, naturally including Rudy, and he is definitely the first.

Another rumor?

Lei Ou is a little suspicious of him now.

"Tomorrow is the last day, we have to perform well." Lei Ou said seriously.

Park Shichang sat on Lei Ou's bed and said: "Tomorrow's game, you pass the ball to me more. As long as we win and perform well, we will definitely stay in La Masia."

Lei Ou thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll tell you how to move..."

…

…

The lights in Puyol's office are still on, and U16 head coach Royce is sitting opposite him, reporting on the progress of the trial training.

"Looking at the current situation, who is the other one who can come in?" Puyol asked.

There is another one that I don’t need to ask, it’s naturally the genius Rudy.

Royce said: "After these few days of assessment, I think Park Shichang is more likely. But he has a shortcoming, his physical fitness is too poor."

"Where's Lei Ou? If I remember correctly, he ranks first in shooting."

Puyol was extremely impressed by Lei Ou, a poor but strong child.

Royce was silent for a moment and said: "That kid works hard and keeps running even during the trial, just like that monster. But he doesn't seem to have any talent. Although he ranks first in shooting, it is the result of long-term practice. My judgment on him

It’s not a big problem to be a professional player, but it’s difficult to gain a foothold in Barcelona.”

Puyol poured a cup of coffee, took two sips slowly, and asked: "The Spaniards gave him a contract with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan. Do you know about this?"

"I know, the Spaniards must have been confused." Royce said with certainty.

Puyol smiled and shook his head, "Mr. Francisco is not stupid. That boy always has some abilities that we have not discovered yet."
