Chapter 154 Dreams Are Flowers That Bloom on a Cliff

Lazio implements a training system combined with schools for children under the age of ten.

There is no special echelon for under ten years old, but cooperates with some schools in the region.

The football activities in the school are sponsored by the Lazio Club, which provides equipment and talents. The coaches of the youth training camp will regularly go to different schools to carry out football teaching activities to cultivate these children's interest in football.

At the same time, select excellent seedlings from them, and when they reach their age, they can join Lazio's youth training camp and receive more professional training.

In this age group, they still focus on studies and interests, and are not so utilitarian.

Ji Leng brought his son Ji Ming to this elementary school with two coaches. Together with them was a translator that Chang Sheng hired temporarily for them. After all, neither of them could speak or understand Italian.

Without a translation, I'm afraid I can't even understand the training requirements...

After the team assembled, Lazio's youth training coach asked Jiming to join the team and introduced him to other young players.

Everyone applauded to welcome Ji Ming to join.

Then began training.

When the coach said the training requirements, Ji Ming stared at the coach with wide eyes and listened carefully to every sentence the translator said, for fear of misunderstanding.

Although he is only eight years old, his attitude towards football is quite mature.

※ ※ ※

When Ji Ming was working hard to patrol the forest for his future, Chang Sheng was also training with the first team.

But today he was a little absent-minded.

Ever since he knew that Ji Ming had a potential value of 186, his thoughts were all on this kid.

186 potential genius!

Even if such a player plays for Lazio at the age of sixteen, it will be enough after eight years.

If you don't hold it in your own hands, I'm afraid you will regret it for the rest of your life!

If it wasn't for him being too young, Chang Sheng really wanted to use "This is how a genius is made" and various training skills for Ji Ming,

Then after one season, let Ji Ming play for Lazio!

I don't know how he's doing over there...

After finishing the training of the first team. Chang Sheng announced his dissolution and left in a hurry.

Everyone looked at his background and felt that he was a bit strange today.

"Is there something urgent? It seems that I am in a hurry..."

"Are you worried about your wife and the baby in your womb?"

Everyone was talking about it.

※ ※ ※

When Chang Sheng felt the youth team training ground, he saw Ji Leng and his son from afar.

But unlike when he bid them farewell this morning, the two looked downcast.

Chang Sheng's heart skipped a beat.

He strode over. Greet them warmly.

"Hi. Old Ji, hi. Mingming. How's the situation?"

After speaking, he looked at the two expectantly.

Under his gaze, Ji Ming lowered his head, while Ji Leng sighed.

"What's wrong?" Chang Sheng asked suspiciously.

"Uh... Chang Sheng... That... may have disappointed you, maybe my son is not suitable for playing football?" Ji Leng hesitated. He stammered and said.

"impossible?"

People with 186 potential are not suitable for playing football? What a joke!

If Ji Ming is not suitable for playing football, then there are no more than ten people in this world who are suitable for playing football!

"In the training and competition in the afternoon, Mingming performed very badly..."

Ji Leng said helplessly.

At this moment, Stella Marjoni came over, followed by two youth training coaches.

Chang Sheng made a gesture to signal Ji Leng to wait, and then he turned to face Stella Macioni.

Stella Marcioni sees constant victories. He also saw Ji Leng and his son behind Chang Sheng. He didn't know the relationship between these two people and Chang Sheng, but no matter what the relationship was, he had to tell the truth.

He was just about to open. Chang Sheng wrapped his arms around his shoulders and neck, and pushed him back.

"Let's go over there and talk."

※ ※ ※

Chang Sheng stopped when he was about 50 meters away from Ji Leng and Ji Ming, and then he let go of Stella Marcioni.

"what's the situation?"

"Uh... Kaka!" Stella Maggioni coughed a few times covering his neck. "That kid might not be very fit for professional football."

He speaks the truth.

"Lucho and Francis are the coaches this afternoon, and they will tell you the specifics..."

Stella Macioni pointed to the two youth coaches behind him.

Chang Sheng looked at them and didn't speak.

One of the two coaches hesitated before recounting the afternoon's events.

※ ※ ※

When Chang Sheng was listening to the story, Ji Leng was squatting on the ground to comfort his son.

"Okay, it's no big deal, Mingming. In fact, you are already much luckier than your classmates. They may not have the opportunity to come to a European team for training in their lifetime, but you have at least one day of such opportunities... Do you know how many people would give money for this day?"

Ji Ming lowered his head and sobbed without saying a word.

"It's just as if your father brought you to Rome for a while, and then went to the Lazio club to see and see...you can think so..."

※ ※ ※

"The situation is like this..." The two coaches introduced the situation.

Chang Sheng shook his head: "It's not a big deal, a game and a training session can't explain the problem at all. You have to know that before today he was just an ordinary sophomore in China who likes to play football. Can you count on What did he do in his first professional training session?"

The two youth training coaches were too scared to say anything by what Chang Sheng said.

Chang Sheng is not as old as the two of them, but his influence and status in world football are definitely much greater than them.

So Chang Sheng put on the appearance of his immediate boss, and the two dared not have any dissatisfaction.

"If it's only for this reason, I'm in charge - keep him!"

Stramaccioni couldn't help asking: "Chang, is that kid your...relative?"

Chang Sheng shook his head: "No, what's wrong?"

"No, I just think...he is still so young, but he wants to come to Italy from China. He left his hometown...if he is really not suitable for professional football, wouldn't it be a waste of more than ten years of youth? Doing this...what the hell OK?"

Chang Sheng smiled: "I didn't expect you to be quite artistic, Andre."

Stella Marcioni rolled his eyes.

Chang Sheng continued: "Believe me, I have never missed people's eyes. Andre. I believe he has enough talent for him to become an excellent professional player."

Chang Sheng is quite conservative.

If it is not afraid of scaring the other party. He might say "the talent of a world superstar".

Stella Magioni thinks that if he can be the director of youth training, he must be responsible for the team's youth training. He will not let go of any good seedlings, but he will not waste too many resources on those children who are destined to fail.

This kind of thinking is somewhat utilitarian, but it coincides with Chang Sheng's pragmatism.

"Have you seen him play? Often?" he pressed.

Chang Sheng smacked his lips: "I have seen his game video, his father showed it to me..." He turned and pointed to Ji Leng who was squatting on the ground.

"The performance of this kid there is simply heavenly! Although he is only eight years old, he has completely conquered me. So I contacted them and asked them to come to Italy for a trial training... If possible, I even want to go with them now Just sign the contract!"

His words still frightened the three of them.

Signing with an eight-year-old? Chang Sheng's mind is alright, right?

"Video? I'm even more curious when you say that. Can you show me the video?" Stella Maggioni stretched out his hand.

Chang Sheng spread his hands and shrugged: "I'm afraid I can't, I didn't bring it here in China."

Chang Sheng began to play rogue.

"Anyway, this player, I am very optimistic about his potential. I think the club should focus on cultivating him. And now he does not need to join the echelon. It is enough to train in school. When he is ten years old, we will see. If You still have doubts about his prospects, let's discuss it again..."

Chang Sheng did not say "we will give up on him". Because he intends to continue playing rascals to comfort them for another two years.

Stella Maggioni knows exactly who the real boss of this team is...

And Chang Sheng's vision is indeed not missed.

Many people on the list he gave have now played in all echelons of Lazio, which shows his vision.

So Stramaccioni nodded: "Okay, but I have reservations."

Chang Sheng smiled: "This is up to you, Andre."

After finishing these coaches, Chang Sheng turned and strode towards Ji Leng and Ji Ming.

※ ※ ※

"Mingming, tell Dad, do you like playing football?"

Ji Leng was still comforting the child, and finally Ji Ming stopped crying.

Ji Ming sniffed and nodded.

"If you like football, you can play anywhere, and you don't have to be a professional, right? Don't you enjoy playing football in school?"

Although Ji Leng was so comforting, the graffiti of his son still flashed in his mind.

"Big football star Ji Ming!"

The words stung him.

How can you become a big star if you just play on the pitch on weekends?

"That can't be done, Old Ji. If you like to play football, you have to play in the best place, or waste his talent!"

Chang Sheng's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Then he saw Chang Sheng also squatted down, and stroked Jiming's hair with one hand.

"Do you like playing professional football, Mingming?" Chang Sheng asked, which was different from what Ji Leng asked. Chang Sheng said "professional football" instead of simple and general "football".

Ji Ming still lowered his head and nodded vigorously.

"Your dad said your bedroom is full of posters of all kinds of stars. Do you want to be one of those stars on the posters?"

This time, Ji Ming stopped nodding. He raised his head and mustered up the courage to answer loudly: "I want to!"

Seeing this scene beside Ji Leng, he thought of that graffiti again.

That was my son's dream...how could he not want to?

"Very good." Chang Sheng nodded. "You are only eight years old this year. Even if you join the professional league at the age of sixteen, there are still eight years in between. These eight years are the key. You may be eliminated early in these eight years, or you may encounter There are many difficulties, such as what you encountered today. But I hope you will persevere no matter what difficulties you encounter, and never give up-if you really want to become a star..."

"I won't give up, Uncle Chang, I definitely won't give up!" Xiao Jiming replied loudly, almost yelling.

As if his loud voice could prove his determination.

Chang Sheng smiled.

"That's fine. You had a bad day today, but what's that? You'll soon find out that when you're working towards your goals, when you're moving forward to achieve your dreams, there are plenty of setbacks like this. If How can you make progress when you lose a ball and cry? Let alone realize your dreams. Dreams are flowers that bloom on the cliffs. They bloom in the most dangerous and barren places. They take root tenaciously in the storm and then bloom. ...It belongs only to those who are brave and don't like cowardice and tears. So don't cry, Mingming. Let every failure be your motivation to improve yourself and keep moving forward. Got it?"

Xiao Jiming nodded vigorously again, clenched his fists and said loudly: "I won't cry! I'm not afraid of failure either!"

Ji Leng stared blankly at Chang Sheng who comforted and encouraged his son.

I spent a long time on my own, but it was not helpful for Chang Sheng to say such a few words.

Who is his real father?

Chang Sheng turned to look at Ji Leng: "Old Ji, don't be dazed, take your son to go through the formalities."

Ji Leng came back to his senses and was surprised: "The procedure? What procedure?"

"Training procedures, your son is now a member of our Lazio! In order not to be robbed by others, we have to sign an agreement..." Chang Sheng said that the eyes of the two people opposite him changed.

He laughed loudly and rubbed Xiao Jiming's hair vigorously: "Congratulations, Mingming! You are now a member of the Lazio Junior Team! You have taken a big step towards your dream!"

Ji Leng asked him excitedly: "You mean we can stay in Lazio?"

"certainly!"

"You didn't lie to us, did you, Uncle Chang?" Ji Ming wept with joy, and then began to cry again.

Chang Sheng stared at him: "Nonsense! How could I lie? Starting tomorrow, have fun in Rome, and then go through the admission procedures. The club will help you with these things, but you also have to be present. "

As he spoke, he turned to Ji Leng: "I said it, old Ji. I said your son has the talent to play football, and I will teach your son. I will do what I say!"
