Young Football Player

"John, help me get in touch with Dundee United."

While eating breakfast, Li Chenglong successfully attracted the attention of his family to himself in one sentence.

"Really, Bruce? Did you figure it out?" Old John didn't seem to believe that Li Chenglong suddenly changed his words, but he quickly said, "Don't worry, I'll help you."

As if afraid of Li Chenglong's change of mind, Old John was not in a hurry to eat breakfast, so he ran to the side to make a call.

"Bruce, have you really thought about it?" Kate Lee asked with some doubts.

Just two days ago, Li Chenglong was very frustrated because he failed to enter the first team. At one time, he had signs of giving up professional football, but now he has suddenly strengthened his confidence, which makes Kate a little strange.

"Don't worry, Kate, this is a choice I made after careful consideration. No matter what happens in the future, I will continue to persevere." Li Chenglong knew that the other party was worried, so he comforted.

"I'm going to go to Luka later and let him do some exercises for me."

"Bruce, you're ready. I've already called Scotland. I'll go back to Scotland after breakfast." Old John happily returned from the phone call.

"Bruce, even if you plan to continue to play football, I would recommend you to stay in London. Although Crystal Palace is only a British Championship team, the British Championship is more influential than the Soviet Super League..."

Before Kate's words were finished, Old John was displeased and said angrily, "We are the first-level league in Europe, will it be inferior to England's second-level league?"

"Actually, in terms of media attention, player salaries, league broadcast fees, or the number of people in the stadium, the British Championship is higher than the Soviet Super League, and it is much higher."

Kate's cold answer made old John a little unconvinced, but after holding it for a long time, he just said: "They just hype it up, what's so great..."

Of course, Jackie Lee knew that Kate was telling the truth.

Scotland is geographically adjacent to England, and the commercial influence of the English league is attractive. Most of the players in the Scottish league flow to England. However, only a small number of them can enter the Premier League to play football. Most of the Scottish League players have entered England. .

Purely from the level of sports competition, the British Championship and the Soviet Super League are almost at the same level, and the British Championship also has a commercial bonus, which is indeed better than the Soviet Super League as a whole.

However, Li Chenglong still prefers to play in the Su Chao, or in other words, he prefers to play in Dundee United, because of Old John.

Old John used to be a professional player. He joined the youth training camp of Dundee United when he was very young. It is said that he was once a talented player in the youth training camp of Dundee United. After suffering a serious injury in the game, it never reached the expected height.

Although delayed by injuries, the old John became a professional player as an adult. He played for Dundee United for several seasons, even if most of the time he was only a rotation player of the team, but it was hard work.

Later, injuries became more frequent, and before the age of 30, John chose to hang up his boots and retire, and then entered the Dundee United club to work.

Now Old John has been working in Dundee United for more than 30 years. Although he is not a powerful figure in Dundee United, he definitely has a certain influence.

This is why Jackie Lee is willing to play at Dundee United.

Staying at Crystal Palace, he will definitely have to wait for the opportunity slowly. If he goes to Dundee United, it will be much better to have the care of Old John.

Although it is impossible for him to rely on the relationship of old John, he will directly occupy a main position when he goes to Dundee United.

But there are definitely more opportunities to perform than Crystal Palace.

After breakfast, Li Chenglong went out.

He drove the first car of his life, the cheap Volkswagen Polo that was very popular in Europe, after he got his first monthly salary.

Start near your home in South London, head north, cross the Thames from Chelsea West Bridge into Chelsea, turn east at Chelsea, cross all of Chelsea, and finally enter Fulham, park at Kings Near the road, and then walked into the Fulham Preparatory Primary School not far away, the primary school that Li Chenglong studied after he came to the UK.

Fulham Preparatory Primary School is one of the top primary schools in London. Most of the children studying here are from middle-class families and above. The enrollment rate of students in the school is also very high. When Li Chenglong came to the UK, Kate spent a lot of money. He was sent here to study for a small amount of money.

But Li Chenglong came here not to reminisce about the time, but something else.

Li Chenglong skillfully came to the family building area of ​​the school, identified the target and went upstairs directly, and came to one of the third floor and knocked on the door.

"Bruce? Why are you here." The door was opened by a middle-aged man with obvious Eastern European characteristics, yellowish hair, and the same straight nose as most Europeans, but with a more pronounced nose hook.

"Because I haven't seen you for a long time, Luca." Li Chenglong went up and gave him a hug.

Luka Savage, this is Li Chenglong's school football coach when he was in primary school.

When he first came to the UK, Li Chenglong went to a professional club for trial training. He tried several in a row and was rejected. This was a big blow to Li Chenglong, who thought he played football well at that time.

However, after entering Fulham Preparatory Primary School, Li Chenglong successfully joined the school football team and received a lot of encouragement from the school team coach Luka Savage. The other side also took good care of him during the school team training. One of the reasons for entering the Crystal Palace Academy.

At that time, Li Chenglong was obsessed with those Chinese kung fu movies. He must worship each other as a teacher and call each other Master Luca. It is quite embarrassing to think about it now.

However, later Li Chenglong graduated from primary school and successfully joined the regular professional club youth training camp, and the relationship with Savage was not so close. Fortunately, although the number of meetings is less, there are still phone calls and text messages every festival or something.

"Master Luca, I'm already planning to play in the Scottish League." Although it was a little embarrassing, Li Chenglong still shouted Master to the scalp, so as to enhance the relationship.

"Is it the old John's team?" Savage still knows something about Li Chenglong's family.

"Well, I think it's hard to get a chance at Crystal Palace, so I'm going to try it in Scotland."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Li Chenglong was waiting for this sentence, so he immediately said: "I want to invite Master Luca to help me do a special training, otherwise I'm worried that it will be difficult to get a chance when I go there."

Savage paused and thought for a while before saying, "Okay, school has summer vacation recently, and I happen to be fine."

The blue Joaquin card that Li Chenglong lit up last night has a number 21 on it, which is the percentage of fusion, which means that the current fusion degree after he lights up the Joaquin card is 21%.

If Li Chenglong wants to continue to light up the next card, he must not only increase his physical attributes and technical attributes to more than 60, but also make the fusion degree of Joaquin cards reach more than 33%. These are all through training. Completed.

That's why Jackie Lee came to Luka Savage for help.

Li Chenglong can of course go directly to the club's youth training camp, but he does not know how effective this system is. He has been training there for 5 years. If the system is too powerful, his strength will suddenly improve by leaps and bounds, which may cause some unnecessary troubles.

Although this possibility is very small, it can be said that players of his age suddenly become enlightened and their strength increases from time to time, but Jackie Lee doesn't want to take that risk, not to mention that he has already planned to play at Dundee United. No need to go back and mess with Crystal Palace.
