I am the Coach of the National Youth Team

Tian Runtao lay on the bed in despair, looking at the ceiling, Tian Runtao didn't dare to watch the news anymore, because Tian Runtao knew that he was scolding himself.

"What's wrong with me?"

Tian Runtao asked himself countless times. Looking back on his career, Tian Runtao was first selected for the Huaxia National Youth Team and quickly became the main force of the team.

Then scored twice in the first show of the friendly match, scored twice in the second warm-up match, also performed well in the Panda Cup, followed by the first show in the Chinese Super League, and finally the big four shocked the Chinese football world.

Tian Runtao went smoothly all the way. After a sleepless night, Tian Runtao came to the team training in a daze. His teammates who were upset with him before looked at Tian Runtao pointing, and some even laughed.

Tian Runtao did not have any conflicts with his teammates. Now Tian Runtao was very disappointed. After finishing training in chaos, Tian Runtao returned home and lay on the bed again.

"Maybe, what is said on the Internet is correct. I may not be a genius, and I may not be suitable for football." Tian Runtao said silently in frustration.

Now Tian Runtao has no pride, only endless confusion. Suddenly he thought of a person, who was once said to be the best striker of the young generation in China. This person is Li Long who discovered Tian Runtao.

Tian Runtao hopes to hear the most authentic voice, and Li Long is undoubtedly the best candidate, because Li Long is definitely the person who knows himself best, so Tian Runtao decides to call Li Long.

"Hello! Is it the coach?" Tian Runtao said weakly, and Li Long could hear that Tian Runtao was in a low mood.

Li Long quickly realized that it was Tian Runtao's most dangerous time, and he needed someone to lead him at this time.

"What's wrong, Oda?"

"Coach, am I really not suitable for football?" Tian Runtao asked, and Tian Runtao hoped to hear Li Long's answer.

"Why do you ask that?" Li Long asked incredulously.

"Because..." Tian Runtao didn't know what to say, he stuttered a little.

"Oda! Do you know, I once said that you are one of the best strikers of our young generation in China, but that's not actually the case."

"Hehe, sure enough." Tian Runtao laughed at himself with a disappointed smile.

"You are not one of the best strikers of China's young generation, you are the best striker of China's young generation, no one!" Li Long said firmly.

Listening to the phone, Tian Runtao raised his head suddenly. The seriousness was unbelievable. He didn't expect Li Long to have such a high opinion of him. Tian Runtao seemed to have an electric current passing through his body, and his whole body was numb.

But Tian Runtao has been too pessimistic recently, and quickly realized that Li Long was just comforting himself.

"I watched your latest game, do you know what you are doing? What's wrong with you recently?"

"I..." Tian Runtao stopped, not knowing how to answer Li Long's question.

"If you want to use an analogy, you are like a tortoise who wants to run faster than anyone else, and you are like a rabbit who wants to compare someone's tail with others."

"Dribbling and technique have never been specialties, but you have to use what you are least good at to compare with others, so how can you be better than others!" Li Long pointed out the key point.

When Tian Runtao heard Li Long's words, his eyes lit up for the first time, but then dimmed, and then he became confused again.

But Li Long, who was on the other side of the receiver, was very anxious when he heard that Tian Runtao didn't respond at all.

"You have height, body, and superb header ability. You will definitely be a top standing center forward in the future." Li Long concluded.

"Standing center? Hehe." Tian Runtao smiled self-deprecatingly.

"What do you think?" Li Long heard Tian Runtao's reaction, but Tian Runtao obviously didn't accept it, so Li Long continued to ask.

"What do I think? I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled to be a standing center forward! I'm not reconciled to being a center forward! I'm not reconciled to being a header! I want to do more for the team! Do you understand, coach!" Tian Runtao said to Li Long shouted.

Li Long fell silent when he heard Tian Runtao's cry. Li Long finally knew what happened to Tian Runtao, but Li Long didn't know what to say.

"What happened to the standing center? An excellent standing..." Li Long was interrupted by Tian Runtao before he could finish speaking.

"I know it's important to be a center forward, but I hope I can do more!" Tian Runtao was a little disappointed when he heard Li Long's words, so Tian Runtao said anxiously.

"I understand." Li Long confirmed Tian Runtao's thoughts.

"Coach! What should I do?" Tian Runtao asked Li Long hopefully.

"How can I be sure about your future?" Li Long replied.

Suddenly Li Long thought that Tian Runtao was different from himself. He had a scouting system, but Tian Runtao was a fan of the authorities and might not know some of his advantages, so Li Long continued.

"But I can tell you what your strengths are. I can't decide your future. You can only rely on yourself."

"My advantage?" Tian Runtao questioned.

"Yes! Your advantage!" Li Long said firmly.

"First of all, of course, is your heading ability. Don't think that heading is a low-end attacking method. You have talent in this area, why don't you use it?"

"The second is undoubtedly your physical advantage. You haven't made good use of your physical advantage at all. A strong body can bring you many benefits. It takes time for you to realize it."

"The third is the problem of attacking methods. You are very accurate in judging where the football will fall, and there is work under your feet. Your volley ability should be very good."

"Fourth, you have a good vision. Although it is not top-notch, it is also very good."

"Fifth, I may not even know it. In fact, your short pass at close range is very good, and the timing of the pass is very clever." Li Long introduced Tian Runtao's advantages one by one.

"I can only tell you this. I don't care about your future. The next thing is to test yourself. This is your own future."

"That's right! The next time the team trains, apologize to your teammates and staff properly." Li Long gave a suggestion.

"Apologize? Why? They still laughed at me!" Tian Runtao said aggrievedly.

"Believe me, go and apologize to them, you will understand." Li Long taught earnestly.

. . . . . .

After Tian Runtao ended the call, he felt a lot more at ease. Tian Runtao told Li Long all he wanted to say.

Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, at least there was a way, which made Tian Runtao look forward to tomorrow's training.
