Chapter 25 Give him a pair of shoes

"Come on, Adam!! You can do it!!"

"I know!!! Alan, Mr. Charles said I can definitely do it!! I'll be a star earning thousands of pounds a week!! That pair of sneakers you like will only be my day's salary!!"

"Can I have another tracksuit?"

"certainly!!!"

Next to the training ground of the Luton Youth Academy, two black children, one big and one small, crossed their arms and said loudly.

There was laughter all around.

The two children look alike, they appear to be two brothers, with curly hair, the older one looks like Adam, and he wears a red vest that hangs loosely on his small torso, with a Sports shorts, but on Adam, the trousers are already above the knee, and it looks as funny as this kid is wearing a skirt.

"What are they here for?" Gao Bo turned to his youth training director and asked.

Steve Powell didn't seem to know the situation either, and he called for a youth coach.

"It's for trial training, sir!"

"Trial training?"

"Yes, it was introduced by Mr. Charles, a part-time scout."

Steve Powell looked suddenly realized, he turned his head and explained to Gao Bo: "Mr Charles is a physical education teacher at a middle school in Luton, we signed a scouting agreement with him, if we signed a player he recommended. , he'll be paid anywhere from a hundred to a thousand pounds."

Gao Bo nodded, in England, such part-time scouts are everywhere.

Gao Bo is still very interested in how the English team selects potential young players. Just happened to meet today, and Gao Bo watched with great interest.

Gao Bo didn't know how much stimulation his behavior brought to the little players on the field. They were like chicken blood and wanted to show their best side. It seems that it has become a player's individual exhibition game. After the strikers on the field have the ball one by one, they all want to go it alone.

Gao Bo shook his head slightly when he saw it. He turned to the youth training coach and asked, "When will our trial players play?"

"It's usually the second half that puts them on the field."

Gao Bo nodded: "But I think this game is meaningless now."

Gao Bo pointed to the field.

Steve Powell is also shaking his head, football is a team sport, and now these kids on the field are obviously turning football into an individual performance because of the arrival of the head coach.

"Let them try it now."

Now that the head coach has spoken, other people naturally have no opinion.

Soon, the black player Adam who came to try out was ready to go into battle.

There was also a circle of small players around. They looked at Adam with smiles on their faces. After all, Adam didn't look like a football player at all. He looked no different from those black young people in the ghetto. Short and thin, can such a body compete with those muscular guys on the football field?

In fact, even the youth training coach next to Gao Bo is not very optimistic about Adam.

"What do you think of him? Tom?" Goble asked.

The academy coach, Tom Karadok, looked at the trial player who was about to be replaced.

"He's too thin and too short, sir!"

Gao Bo was noncommittal. The little player really didn't look like he could do anything on the football field. He was very thin, and his height seemed to be only about 1.65 meters.

"How old is he? How tall is he now?"

"Born in 1991, seventeen years old, 166 cm tall." Tom took out the data sheet.

Gao Bo saw the little player's name on the form.

Adam White.

"A winger?"

"Yes, that's what the documentation says. Besides, he hasn't had any formal football training, so it's too late to start professional football at the age of sixteen, if he wasn't recommended by Mr. Charles Yes, there won't even be a chance for a trial training. But I think this trial training is just a waste of time. It is difficult to play in an academy that has not received professional training by the age of 16." Tom's boss Talking in front of you.

"Oh...." Gao Bo nodded, from the youth training camp to the professional arena, this is a road with a very high elimination rate, not all the children in the youth training camp can finally stand in the professional league arena. , especially the youth training camp of a low-level team like Luton, it is difficult to get out of any big stars - football is a very gifted sport, when those gifted children show their football talent, those The big teams are already eyeing, where can they get a small team like Luton.

Adam White played quickly, and since he was a winger, he was naturally arranged on the wing.

And just taking advantage of the timeout, Tom called his players up for a training session. After the game restarted, the scene was much better. No player dared to take the ball to a dead end without passing the ball like before. .

Adam - Walter soon has the opportunity to catch the ball.

The ball is very fast when the ball is moved diagonally behind.

Adam - White lifted the instep and gently stopped the ball to his feet.

Gao Bo's eyes lit up!

Feet feel good!

But then, Adam White lost the ball. In the face of the defender who came up, he made a fake move, but he didn't pass, but he lost his focus and fell to the ground.

"Ha ha ha ha....."

The little players on the sidelines burst into laughter. Adam White got up from the ground in embarrassment and wanted to chase back, but he fell to the ground before he walked a few steps.

Tom shook his head slightly, his sense of balance was too bad!

Adam's next performance can be described as very bad.

He hardly won any confrontation, and as soon as his thin body was squeezed, he would lose his position immediately. And he doesn't seem to be fast. Sometimes he stops the ball very well, but the speed is not enough to let him get rid of the pursuit.

The first half ended quickly, and Adam walked to the sidelines with his head down.

It looks like this workout is over.

Tom thought so too, and closed the notebook in his hand.

The two black children on the sidelines silently packed up their belongings, and it seemed that they also knew that their trial training had failed.

Gao Bo felt a little pity. Adam's sense of the ball just now was really good, but why does he look so clumsy on the court? Normally, people with good ball feel should have a good sense of body balance.

"Show me his information."

Tom was stunned for a moment, but since his boss spoke, he immediately handed over the information card.

Adam - White: Advantages: fast, good technology; Disadvantages: streetball player background, poor team awareness.

Just a few simple lines.

Is it fast?

Gao Bo touched his chin, didn't he see it during the trial training just now?

With some pity, he looked at Adam who had already carried a shabby khaki backpack on his back.

He is not tall, but has wide feet.

and many more! !

"Wait a minute!!" Gao Bo said suddenly.

"Adam... your workout isn't over yet," Gao Bo said. "Tom, get him a pair of shoes!"
