Fox in the Penalty Area

"star!"

Jorge Dillon spoke in Mandarin with a strong accent and was very unfluent, and asked him to get a "nickname" for Chen Xingyi.

Hearing the shout of the head coach, Chen Xingyi ran up: "Do you call me the coach?"

Dillon nodded: "Next you are going to the national team. The national team’s two warm-up matches are against European teams. This is a good opportunity for you to get close to European football and understand Let’s take a look at how high the level of European teams are."

After speaking, he looked at Yu Jintao beside him and waited for Yu Jintao to translate his words.

After Jin Tao finished his translation, he continued: "I have a little suggestion. If you want to impress those picky European scouts, then you must dare to act and express yourself in the game."

Hearing the sentence translated by Yu Jintao, Chen Xingyi was a little surprised: "Coach, I am very happy to be at Golden Arrow now..."

"Stop acting in front of me, Star." Dillon curled his lips. "I know you're crazy if you want to go to Europe all day long!"

Chen Xingyi waved his hand quickly: "No, coach. Ever since I watched Luo Kai's "tragic situation" in Veronica, I have been particularly relieved to train with you in the team..."

Dillon laughed after hearing what Yu Jintao had translated.

After laughing, he asked Chen Xingyi again: "Are you learning languages?"

"I've learned it, I've been learning it all the time."

"How are you learning?"

"Uh... okay, right?"

"It's not okay. Come on, let's talk directly in English...Yu, you can rest."

Yu Jintao stared at Dillon with widened eyes: "Are you sure you want to talk to him alone?"

"I'm sure." Jorge Dillon answered him categorically.

"Ok……"

Yu Jintao reluctantly translated Dillon's words to Chen Xingyi.

Chen Xingyi's eyes widened after hearing this: "Uncle Yu, coach, is he joking? My level of English..."

"What? You lied just now, but you didn't learn it?" Yu Jintao asked Chen Xingyi back.

"I have learned, I must have learned. It's just a bit... uh, suddenly. I'm afraid I can't keep up with the coach's rhythm..."

Yu Jintao shook his head: "Don't worry about that, Chen Xingyi. Now you can imagine being suddenly thrown into the European language environment. No one will just take you. If you don't work hard to improve your language level, you might even have a meal. I can’t eat it. I force myself to give it a hand and throw away all my shame.”

"Okay..." Chen Xingyi finally reluctantly agreed under Jin Tao's persuasive temptation.

"Very good, Star." Dillon looked at the young man with the stubborn scalp in front of him, and nodded approvingly. "If you want to go to Europe, you must first overcome the difficulty of opening your mouth. Be brave to speak, don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Don’t be afraid that you don’t understand, and don’t be afraid of being laughed at. In fact, communication is not as difficult as you think. Look at Hu Lai. The spirit of the face...Okay, come and talk to me about your thoughts on the problems Luo Kai encountered in Veronica?"

Chen Xingyi's brows were frowned, and the whole person was engrossed in listening to the head coach, so that the head coach had said it for a few seconds. He seemed to be connected to the front reporter in the rear studio without responding.

When his brain finally processed the head coach's words roughly and understood the general meaning, he began to think about what words and grammar should be used in his mind...

Dillon didn't urge him, just stood opposite him and watched. If Chen Xingyi raised his head in embarrassment, he would see the encouraging glances from the old coach.

"Uh, sir, sir...I, uh, I think, uh, Luo Kai's problem is that he has...er, has..." Chen Xingyi stumbled and said, but he got stuck here without saying a few words. shell. After a long period of thought, he said to the head coach: "Uh... "idolbag"..."

Dillon heard that the smile on his face disappeared and replaced it with a puzzled expression. He thought for a long time in silence, but still couldn't figure out what it meant. I had no choice but to ask the off-site audience for help: "Hey, Yu, what is ‘idolbag’?"

Yu Jintao twitched at the corner of his mouth: "I guess Chen Xingyi wanted to say'idol baggage'."

He said this word in Chinese, and then he explained the meaning of the word again: "That is to say, Luo Kai is a bit embarrassing and afraid of being laughed at, so he dare not speak..."

Dillon slapped hard: "Aha! That's right, that's it! Say, what are you afraid of being wrong? What about being laughed at? In the end, when you perform well on the court, look at who it is. Who is the joke?"

...

"Dillon is really good to Chen Xingyi!"

"Of course, now Chen Xingyi is our Golden Arrow's number one genius! If you have this ability, you can also be valued..."

"Hey, I want to be at the level of Chen Xingyi, I went abroad a long time ago! Chen Xingyi is already here, and I can bear it..."

"It may not be good to go out early, and it may not be good to stay in China. Look at Luo Kai..."

The Golden Arrow players in the distance watched Chen Xingyi and Dillon interacting, and they talked a lot.

But no one would be jealous of Chen Xingyi's treatment, because everyone knows that they deserve it.

Jin Yong looked at Chen Xingyi and said to Mao Junzheng beside him: "I always have a hunch, Team Mao. After this World Cup, Chen Xingyi may not return to our team..."

Mao Junzheng turned his head and glanced at him: "Nonsense. How many of the young people who have met outside are willing to stay in the small town?"

"It's enviable..." Jin Yong murmured.

Mao Junzheng didn't answer the conversation, he just looked at the old and the young over there.

Lin Zhiyuan, wearing a Westin Athletics goalkeeper jersey, stood on the far right side of the team, with his hands around his chest, grinning grinningly.

The players of the entire team are the same as Lin Zhiyuan, with immature faces and happy smiles.

A hand suddenly appeared, picked up the photo on the table, examined it carefully, and put it back.

"Mr. Meyer had a phone call with me some time ago. Although you have left Westing Athletics, he has been paying attention to you." Qiu Xinrong, who put down the group photo, turned and said to Lin Zhiyuan, who was packing his luggage. "He asked me if you have any plans to return to Westin Athletics."

Lin Zhiyuan put the folded jeans in his suitcase: "Did they make an offer, Uncle Qiu?"

"No, I just want to inquire about your intentions first..."

"Isn't it illegal to contact players in private?"

"We mentioned this incident accidentally in the process of chatting and retelling the past based on the identity of an old friend." Qiu Xinrong replied without leaking.

"Hey!" Lin Zhiyuan straightened up and looked at Qiu Xinrong, "I didn't think about it, Uncle Qiu. I want to wait for the World Cup to make a decision. What if I do well in the World Cup and I am taken by the giants?"

"Then become the second Luo Kai?" Qiu Xinrong asked blankly.

"Ouch, Uncle Qiu, can't you say something good?"

"What is good? Westin Athletic is really suitable for you. They are familiar with you, you are also familiar with them, and there are your echelon teammates there. At that time, three of your team are now in the first team. "Qiu Xinrong pointed to the group photo on the table.

"Then the four of us will be on the bench together in the first team?" Lin Zhiyuan shook his head, "I really didn't think about it, Uncle Qiu. Recently I have been thinking that I am now playing the main force in the South China Tigers, and then...Go to Europe What are you doing? As a substitute? Is there any team that would make a twenty-year-old man like me the main goalkeeper?"

Hearing this, Qiu Xinrong turned to look at him: "Ooo, can you say such a thing from your mouth?"

"Hey, Uncle Qiu, what do you think I am?"

Qiu Xinrong ignored Lin Zhiyuan's questioning, but instead asked himself: "But can you have such reflections because of Luo Kai?"

"There is a part of the reason. When I came back from Germany, it was not just because of my parents' work. I still felt that I was a Chinese goalkeeper and it was too difficult to get a chance in the European professional league. If I were a German, then I I am confident to play in a professional team with my ability. But I am a Chinese..." Lin Zhiyuan sighed and looked at Qiu Xinrong, "You can ask Old Maier if he is willing to give me a main position. "

Qiu Xinrong grinned: "I think Mr. Meyer will think your brain is flooded..."

"No." Lin Zhiyuan grinned, "He will feel that he deserves to be Lin!"

※※※

"As expected of Lin!"

After hearing Lin Zhiyuan's request from Qiu Xinrong, Masalo Maier laughed and expressed such emotion.

After laughing, he said to Qiu Xinrong:

"I'm just the manager of the sports department of the team, not the head coach of the first team. Who can be the main player, who can't, the head coach still has the final say~www.ltnovel.com~ I can understand Lin's concerns. Indeed, let one second The ten-year-old young man is the main goalkeeper. There is currently no team in the entire five major leagues... I can't guarantee that he will be the main player when he comes. The goalkeeper position is unique and the replacement is not so fast. But no matter what. How to say, this time he and the Chinese team are going to play in Europe, I will let the scouts follow him, we will make a very detailed scout report...In short, we will continue to observe him, especially him Performance in the World Cup."

"That's great, thank you, Mr. Meyer."

"Why do you want to thank me, Qiu? I regretted sending Lin back to China for a long time. If it is possible, I don't want to miss Lin again. Could you please tell Lin to me as long as he wants to come back, the gate of Westin Athletics Always open to him."

"I'll tell him, Mr. Meyer. But I can't control what Lin himself thinks."

"understand."

※※※

"That's what Old Meyer said?"

When Lin Zhiyuan received a call from his agent Qiu Xinrong to relay Meyer's original words on his behalf, he had already landed at the Capital International Airport.

"Okay, I know. He wants people to see it. Anyway, I play at my own pace. Well, okay. Don't worry, Uncle Qiu. I'm not the one I used to be! Hang up, Team Yao are still waiting for me..."

Putting away the phone, Lin Zhiyuan trot two steps, dragged his suitcase, and caught up with Yao Huasheng and other South China Tiger teammates in front.

Yao Huasheng turned halfway, wrapped his hand on Lin Zhiyuan's shoulder, and pulled him to walk side by side.

On March 14, 2026, after the AFC Champions League group match, the Chinese national team players gathered in the capital. They will take a flight from here to far away Europe, and start a ten-day training camp.
