Chapter 1

In November 1999, in a large park in the town of Virton, southern Belgium, a boy with yellow skin and black eyes was sweating profusely and playing football. His technique is not very good and he often drops the ball but he still practices non-stop.

Just after the rain, the road was still muddy, dirtying the boy's shoes and feet. The people around looked at him with surprised eyes but he didn't seem to notice.

This young man is Chinese, his name is Vuong Phong. He is only 16 years old this year. Just a few months ago, he listened to his agent and went to Belgium in hopes of joining a team and making more money. .

But this representative is very irresponsible, you can even call him a liar. After receiving 10,000 yuan from Wang Feng's family, he took Wang Feng to a Belgian second-tier football club called Verton and signed a half-year contract. The youth training agreement immediately evaporated.

Vuong Phong's family is very difficult. His father died very early. He, his older sister and his younger sister were raised alone by their mother. I worked to make money so I dropped out of school after graduating from high school. Vuong Phong has loved football since he was a child. He was a member of his school's soccer team when he was in middle school, so he wanted to see if he could play professionally. While trying out for a certain national team, he was deceived by this unscrupulous agent. Not only him, but the whole family was immersed in the dream of going abroad to make a lot of money, so my mother gritted her teeth and borrowed money from everywhere to cover Vuong Phong's introduction fee and part of her living expenses.

It was only when he arrived in Belgium that Wang Feng realized that his small football skills were nothing compared to foreign athletes trained since childhood. He could not reach the second team level of the Belgian second division team despite training very hard with the team. But up to now, it has not been confirmed or approved by the technical team and has not been allowed to play on the field.

Therefore, until now he has not earned a penny and his living expenses are almost gone. The team manager made it clear that if Wang Feng's level did not improve significantly before the winter transfer window, he would no longer be with him. If the contract is renewed, he will only be able to return home in despair. Vuong Phong feels extremely embarrassed every time he thinks of his family's serious eyes and the sad scene when he raised money for him. So he trains hard every day, comes early in the morning, leaves late in the evening, and goes to the park to practice soccer on his days off. What he lacked was not something that hard work could compensate for, and at this moment he was almost desperate.

After stumbling and completing 500 ball jumps, Vuong Phong wiped off his sweat. Suddenly, a white light shone on him. He unconsciously raised his right hand to cover it, but the light penetrated straight into his arm and into his mind. He then lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he saw a middle-aged man squatting next to him, constantly calling out to him: "Wake up, are you okay? Do you need me to call an ambulance?" Hearing that, Vuong Phong quickly got up from the ground, stood up and said: "I'm fine, no need to call an ambulance." Just kidding, ambulances are very expensive abroad.

He asked suspiciously: "What's wrong with you?" The middle-aged man replied: "I saw you suddenly fainted so I quickly ran to check, are you okay?" Vuong Phong waved his hand and felt his physical condition. I just felt a little tired, but I wouldn't fall into a coma because of this. Is it because I've been eating very little lately that I'm malnourished? The middle-aged man saw that Vuong Phong had nothing to do and left. Vuong Phong stood up and patted the ground on his body. He still plans to continue his training. No matter how successful he was, at least he tried his best.

When he hit the ball again, the tip of his right foot touched the ball and a mysterious feeling overcame him, as if telling him that the angle of contact with the ball was curved and the force was a bit too strong. . Sure enough, the ball went sideways and forward.

He stared at the balloon slowly moving away, feeling very surprised. Was he hallucinating during football practice? So he picked up the ball and kept bouncing it. Every time he touches the ball, Vuong Phong can feel whether the starting force is good or bad, like a sophisticated computer instantly calculating the results and returning them. Gradually, Vuong Phong's movements became more and more standard, and his strength and angle became more and more appropriate. The ball went up and down on his toes, more and more steadily, even the height was getting closer and closer. These wonderful footsteps also attract the attention of surrounding tourists. They gradually gathered, wanting to see how many moves Vuong Phong could perform.

It wasn't until Vuong Phong jumped 200 times in a row that he felt a little pain in his legs and felt like he needed to rest so he stopped. At that moment, the crowd burst into joy and applause. The man walked out, smiled and asked: "Your skills are really good, are you a professional player?"

After learning that Vuong Phong was a player in Wilton's youth training facility, he was obviously a bit surprised and praised: "At this age, it's really rare for you to have such strong basic techniques." Thanks to the feedback, my ball juggling skills seem to have improved a lot.

The man gave Vuong Phong a business card. It turned out to be André Diest, the recruiter for Genk Club in Belgium. Genk is a veteran team in the Belgian First Division. The current performance is not good, only ranked 14th and we are still very far from the Europa League goal. Of course he didn't want to tell Vuong Phong this news, but just told him that he was very optimistic about him, hoping to see him compete.

Hearing that, Vuong Phong couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. It would be great if he could compete, but he still solemnly accepted the business card, thanked the compliment and decided to move on to the next practice session. Diest did not continue to look at him. Practicing, he just smiled encouragingly and then he left.

Next, Wang Feng plans to practice dribbling, which is also his weakest point because he does not grasp force well and cannot protect the ball. But the situation today is different. After running, each pass gives him precise feedback and his foot adjustments are also very precise.

This feeling of complete control over the ball made Vuong Phong very excited, so he ran faster and faster, between the ball and his toes there seemed to be an invisible boundary, always following each other regularly. Finally, his running speed was close to his running speed without the ball. Wang Feng's advantage also lies in his speed, far surpassing the rest of the team members.

He got more and more excited and even wanted to do some flower arranging on the bike, but he regretted it as soon as he walked away and the feeling of stiffness returned to him clearly. Sure enough, his left foot tripped over his right foot, causing him to fall very hard. Come down, it will take him a long time to recover.

"Looks like we have to continue practicing." Vuong Phong was silent and thinking. He didn't know what happened to his body. Maybe it has something to do with that mysterious white light, but it doesn't seem like it's a bad thing. It seemed that understanding had been raised to a higher level, the feeling of the ball that I couldn't grasp before seemed to no longer be a problem. UU Read www.uukanshu.com It can be considered an adventure.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that Vuong Phong picked up the ball and slowly walked towards the dormitory. The dormitory provided by the club is not far from this park so he will go to this park to practice during his rest time.

When Vuong Phong reached the end of the dormitory, a tall man hugged a sexy girl and kissed her. When he saw her coming, he patted the girl's butt and told her to leave. "Hey, Wang, are you planning on doing it again?" » the man asked. He is Wang Feng's roommate, Renée Delvaux, Verton's reserve midfielder. However, Loi Nghe is different from Vuong Phong. His family is relatively wealthy, so he only plays football for fun and to flirt with girls. He never understood Wang Feng's ascetic practice. Vuong Phong was used to seeing many different girls constantly appearing around him, so he just nodded. Loi Nghe hugged Vuong Phong and said: "Brother, you can't do that, except for practice, sometimes you have to relax."

He said softly: "I heard that since our company's main wingman was injured, Paul Chuck has not been performing well. As long as you can perform at a super level in tomorrow's training camp, you will have a chance to make the team. "

When Vuong Phong heard these words, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Wilton are a small club and only have two replacement wingers. He and Paul, because they didn't perform well in the past, couldn't make the team. Nowadays, for some reason, their skills have improved. He seems to be able to fight.

So he gently hit Rennie's chest, smiled and said: "Okay buddy, this message is so timely, I just want to seize this opportunity." Rennie is a very fair person. Sometimes the representative disappears and the language is not good. Thanks to Rennie's care, he gradually adapted to the environment.
