Young Football Player

"As an amateur team, it is difficult for Queen's Park to attract those capable players to play, but relying on their past influence, they can still attract some players who have been eliminated by professional teams to play here."

"But even if some players are kicked out, they will immediately switch to a professional team. This is the biggest problem at Queen's Park."

"Alex Ferguson, he was not able to join the youth training of the professional team at the beginning. He chose to play in Queen's Park. ..."

Old John was still talking enthusiastically, the elderly just like to recall the past.

But Li Chenglong was attracted by a player on the court.

The opponent was a full-back and played pretty well.

When Queen's Park finished training and rested on the sidelines, Li Chenglong took the initiative to walk over.

"Who is this guy? Is he new to the team?" A stranger broke in rashly, and the players at Queen's Park were all talking.

"It seems to be a bit of an impression. I must have seen this guy somewhere."

"I remembered, this guy is currently a super rookie in the Scottish Premier League. He seems to be called Bruce. He is very good at free kicks."

"Bruce Lee, that's him, how did he get here?"

...

A group of people were bluffing, and Li Chenglong said directly: "Hi everyone, I am Bruce Lee from Dundee United. I am here to visit Hampton Park Stadium today. It is a pleasure to meet you all."

After saying hello, Li Chenglong went straight to the side and sat down next to a young man who was sitting alone, with an unremarkable appearance and a small figure, and then asked, "Can I sit here?"

The thin young man seemed a little timid, pursed his lips, and did not speak.

"I saw you playing pretty well just now, what's your name?" Li Chenglong still asked familiarly.

"Robertson, Andrew Robertson."

"Why are you playing here?"

As long as you catch up with the conversation, it will be easy to talk next.

Andrew Robertson is a native of Glasgow, one year younger than Jackie Lee.

In China, people refer to the college entrance examination as "thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge".

In Europe, the competitiveness of professional football is no worse than China's college entrance examination.

Every year in Europe, a large number of children are admitted to youth training camps by professional teams, but at the same time, more than a hundred times as many children are rejected from the door.

Robertson has been fond of football since he was a child, and he is still a loyal fan of the Celtics, but he was rejected without hesitation when he went to the Celtics for trial training for the first time.

But he didn't give up, he played football while studying, and finally he was admitted by the Celtics by leading the school team to the semi-finals of the national school football game.

But the good times didn't last long. After two years in the Celtics, when he was 15 years old, last year, he was rejected by the Celtics again.

The Celtics believed that Robertson would not have much future in the future and directly persuaded him to leave.

Generally, when a child encounters this situation, the most likely thing is to go back to school and find a job after taking a college entrance examination.

But Robertson was still unwilling to give up. He chose to join the amateur team Park Queen, playing football here, working in a supermarket to support himself, and continuing to wait for opportunities.

"Although I don't like Rangers, I admire Ferguson not because of his coaching achievements, but because he was able to fight back step by step after being rejected by the professional team." Robertson shook his fist, said forcefully.

Jackie Lee also understood what Robertson meant.

Ferguson has been a die-hard Rangers fan since he was a child, and Robertson is a diehard Celtic fan. The two are not born in the same dimension.

But Ferguson was able to return to the team of professional players little by little after being rejected by the professional team.

Finally kicked the ball for Rangers.

This is what Robertson admires very much, so he admires Ferguson, and only admires Ferguson for this, not others.

The reason why Li Chenglong came here to talk to the other party was not because he wanted to listen to the story, but because he recognized this thin young man. Isn't he the future champion of the Champions League and the top left-back in Europe?

But he really didn't expect that Robertson's career is quite inspirational.

If there is no Jackie Chan, Robertson may have to play here for two years, slowly waiting for the opportunity.

But now that Li Chenglong has appeared, he is naturally willing to help the other party if he can, and at the same time, he also has another idea in his heart.

After Jackie Lee left, the Queen's Park players immediately surrounded Robertson.

"Andrew, what did that Bruce Lee ask you for just now, you've been talking for so long?"

"Just a brief chat, he said I play pretty well." Robertson replied honestly.

"Isn't it? I played so well and he didn't even come to praise me, but he came here to praise you on purpose?"

"Yeah, you are so skinny, I can throw you into the sky with one hand, and he actually said you kicked well?"

"Andrew, since he praised you for playing well, did he introduce you to play in a professional team?" This is what these people are most interested in.

"No, he just said to let me continue to work hard, and I will definitely be able to play in the future." Robertson replied with a guilty conscience.

Although the other party did not say anything about introducing a professional team, but the other party left his contact information, which made Robertson already have certain fantasies.

However, Robertson started to work hard at a young age. He is not a brainless person. It is better not to say such things, not to mention that he has only joined this team for a few months, and he is not very familiar with these teammates. .

On the car back to Dundee, Old John was driving, and Li Chenglong was playing with his mobile phone.

He was playing Twitter. When he asked Robertson to leave his contact information, the other party not only left his phone number, but also left a Twitter account by the way.

This reminded Li Chenglong that he didn't seem to have a dedicated social media account yet, so he also planned to register a Twitter.

Register an account, add Robertson as a friend, and then see that there is only one status of the other party.

"At this age, if you don't have money, you will be regarded as garbage."

Well, this guy looks a bit dull, but he is still a literary youth.

Seeing Li Chenglong playing with his head down for a long time, Old John, who had been driving in a muffled voice, finally couldn't help but asked the question in his heart: "You and that kid just talked for a long time, what did you talk about?"

"Just to see him play well, let's chat with him."

"real?"

"Well, I think Kate has become an official agent, but it seems that there are too few players under my current management, so I plan to introduce a client to her." Li Chenglong said casually.

Some time ago, Kate Lee called and said that she has passed the agent assessment and is now an official agent.

Li Chenglong felt that Kate Lee would also be a manager in the future anyway, whether he was a manager for himself or for a group of people.

It's better for Li Chenglong to introduce him a few good clients, so that he can use his past life memory, so don't waste it.

Of course, now that we are in the information society, those talented players who became famous at a young age must not be able to find them. They already have regular and familiar agents.

However, those players who were not favored in the early years and became late bloomers can still find a few.

This is what Li Chenglong thought of temporarily after learning about Robertson's situation.
