Volume 1 Soccer Boys Chapter 2 Ambition
Grandma's raised arms still did not fall. Looking at Xiangnan who was crying like a tearful person sitting in front of the TV, the old man was stunned. Grandma, who had experienced many vicissitudes, could see that his precious grandson was crying from the heart and feeling uncomfortable.
The old man is not a fan. Although she doesn't understand why her baby grandson is so sad, is it necessary to be so sad just because the Dutchman stops playing football?
Grandma looked at Xiangnan who was crying bitterly, and did not say anything or ask Xiangnan to come for dinner. In her philosophy, since she cried, she had to cry enough. When her wife passed away, grandma carried her daughter on her back and her son-in-law cried all day. When Xiangnan's parents both passed away because of a vicious car accident, they endured the pain of sending black-haired people to the black-haired people, hugged their crying grandson, and the grandson cried into tears. Then, grandma took Xiangnan from Rio de Janeiro, a sad place, and it was about two years in a blink of an eye.
The old man looked at his extremely uncomfortable grandson at this moment, and he always kindly respected Buddha, and he actually felt a little hated for someone, that is what Bolie is. I heard that it was because of his despicable tackle that the Dutchman retired. If it weren't for this despicable Bolie, his precious grandson wouldn't be so sad, "Damn Bolie!"
At this moment, the old man began to think for the first time, whether it was right or wrong to keep this child away from his beloved football?
During dinner, Xiangnan had almost nothing to eat. After a hurry, Xiangnan greeted his grandma and went out.
Grandma knew that the child must have gone out to find Alexander. Alexander was his next door neighbor. It is said that he was a professional player and moved from Brazil. Because of this relationship, the two families have a lot of connections, so the two families often interact.
Xiang Nandu has been secretly learning football and practicing football skills with Alexander, and even reached the point of obsession. Grandma had known it for a long time, but pretended not to know it. She understood in her heart why this child was so obsessed with football, which was also very contradictory to this, and this reason was precisely the reason why the old man stayed away from football.
Alexander also liked this serious child very much and almost gave it to him.
In Brazil, almost every professional player's skills are first-class, and the difference is his talent and inspiration on the court. It is obvious that Alexander is such a first-class player with lack of talent. Otherwise, he would not have been in a Brazilian second-tier club for a few years and retired in less than 30. However, such a player is more than enough to teach Xiangnan, which is also very appropriate. This also creates Xiangnanza's solid basic skills. In terms of skills, it can be said that compared with Brazilians of the same age, it is not inferior.
In Alexander's view, this child has natural aura for football. It can even be said that he is a child born for football. He has excellent skills and strong understanding. He also has the terrifying speed of this child. Not to mention anything else, the speed of running away from the ball often reminds Alexander of a person, who stabbed Brazil and Italy with two swords from Feixian in the 1990 World Cup - the Son of the Wind - Canigia. Although he is a Brazilian, Alexander did not hide his admiration for Canigia, an Argentine.
This also made Alexander, who had always been depressed by his short professional football career, find a spiritual sustenance. This uncle, who was a little yy, even saw from Xiangnan that he was dominating the green field one day!
However, Xiangnan's biggest idol is the great Basten, which made Alexander a little unhappy. Although Alexander also highly recognized Basten, the natural elegant style of Latin Americans made him more inclined to like Latin American players.
"Andre, what's wrong with you?" Alexander saw Xiangnan's mood today, and even a little decadent. This was not like this kid's style. Xiangnan's extreme self-confidence often made him feel embarrassed as a teacher.
‘Andre’ is the European name that Alexander called it southward. Because his Chinese name is southward, this Brazilian comrade Alexander has never been able to make the sound of ‘Yang’.
"Uncle Alexander, Basten is retired!" Xiangnan's voice was crying.
"Oh!" Alexander was speechless when he heard this. He remembered telling Nan that the Dutch retired today. No matter what, he was still full of respect for Basten. After all, he was a great striker and a talented player.
"Go! Practice a thousand shots!" Alexander said sternly. He understood this child. Only football and crazy training would make this child temporarily forget the pain.
"Yeah!" Xiangnan nodded silently, walked over slowly, and began the boring, monotonous practice.
Alexander looked at the meticulous child who practiced shooting at the goal not far away, and nodded with relief. This was a serious child with extreme self-discipline. What would such a child look like in the future with the gifts given by God?
Today's training was one thousand shots, then five hundred times of overtime practice, of course, breaking south and Alexander defended.
Alexander has never regarded the south as a child. He is pushing and pulling hard when defending and doing everything he can. Of course, Alexander will not do such a shovel behind him. As for those small moves, don’t you know that this is the specialty of Latin American players, especially Brazilian players who play wild balls?
“Is it running on time this morning?”
"Yeah!" Xiangnan nodded.
Alexander also patted Xiangnan's shoulder with relief. Running three kilometers every morning is a compulsory course for Xiangnan. The difference is that in order to improve his speed, the child tied a sandbag on his legs. It is said that this method was learned by Xiangnan from a Chinese named Shaolin Temple. Alexander didn't care who Shaolin Temple is. He was happy that this method seemed to be very useful. Xiangnan was already very fast, and after such training, it was extremely fast. Therefore, Brazilian Alexander was still grateful to the Chinese named Shaolin Temple.
I looked at the time. It was almost ten o'clock in the evening. Xiangnan cleaned up and prepared to go back. I first came to Alexander's room and took a hot shower.
Alexander was very worried that he could speak in the south one night.
"Uncle Alexander, will I become a player like Van Basten?" When he walked to the door, Xiangnan, who had been silent, suddenly stopped.
Alexander was stunned. He looked at the confident and stubborn child in front of him, and even saw the tears in the corner of Xiangnan's eyes. It was obvious that the child had cried again while taking a shower.
"Yes, why not? Child, as long as you work hard! Yes!" Alexander smiled and patted Xiangnan's shoulder.
Xiangnan nodded seriously.
In the days that followed, residents of the Liezvalong District would see a child running, training, and playing football on the green field of all sizes every day.
Every day, going to school, training, and playing football became the main theme of this child's life, and grandma seemed to be no longer restricted by Xiangnan's football.
Alexander's advice to Xiangnan is, 'You are not the only talented player in this world. If you want to succeed, you can only pay ten times more and a hundred times more sweat than others!'
This was the most famous governance motto in football later, which came from Alexander, who was honored by the emperor's guide.
