Football was the most popular sport in the world. It used its own charm to transcend the barriers of history, constantly enriching itself and perfecting itself. This sport was both a physical confrontation and a competition of wisdom. It emphasized individual ability and demonstrated the cohesion of the team.
Carlos went to the meeting alone. He expanded his running range from the midfield to the entire area. If no one passed the ball to him, he would snatch it himself. If no one helped him resist, he would charge in. He did not care about the Yellow Team!
The stalemate between the red and yellow teams lasted for half an hour. Carlos finally broke the situation with a goal.
The sky in Barcelona was surprisingly blue, and there were no clouds in the clear sky. Carlos's golden hair was hot under the light, and it danced with dazzling light. His eyebrows were raised, and his eyes were disdainful and cold. There was a smile on his exquisite face, but the middle finger that he raised made it impossible for all the members of the Yellow Team to appreciate this blond young man.
Teammates who were wearing the same team uniform declared to them that he would be better off without them!
The enraged Yellow Team member rushed forward." Take your finger back!”
"Little bastard, don't think that we won't beat you up!”
"Go back to your orphanage and don't come to La Masia! You are not welcome in U14!"
“……”
Carlos did not respond to them. He listened to the shouts and reached out his hand. He waved it in front of the Yellow Team players and then turned his middle finger to point at the ground.
The 10 players of the Yellow Team were completely enraged. They waved their fists and surrounded Carlos in anger.
The referee whistled non-stop, his sharp voice piercing through the sky.
The referee's yellow card was stepped on the ground, and no one paid attention to him.
Benajes rushed into the arena, and Su Qingjia followed him. She was very worried, afraid that Carlos would get hurt.
"What the f * ck are you doing! Ah, what are you all doing!" " You're all from the same team. Are you going to fight?" Did La Masia teach you how to fight? Ah!"
"Is this the match you want to show me? It was simply sh * t! Are you guys crazy? Isn't it great to isolate him?”Benajes took out a red card from the referee's pocket.
"As for you, Carlos, I admit that you're very good at breaking the situation alone, but I'm very dissatisfied! Now, immediately, immediately, go to the locker room and face the wall!”The angry coach threw the red card at Carlos 'face with great force.
"I now announce that this match is over. It's a draw. Carlos, I reject your application. You are not suitable for U14!”Bernajs turned around and walked to the locker room." Now, everyone except Carlos. Gather here!"
Carlos's face was covered in red marks. He bit his jaw tightly, and the white joints of his clenched fists could be seen clearly. His head, which was originally raised, was now slightly lowered. He was trying his best to suppress his anger.
Su Qingjia walked forward and heard his heavy breathing. It was the first time she had seen Carlos lose his composure." Carlos, are you okay?"”
Carlos raised his head. Su Qingjia saw that his eyes were red and gray, as if dark clouds had covered the blue sky before a heavy rain.
"Carlos, listen to me. Don't be angry and don't be anxious.”Su Qingjia was frightened by his appearance. She was afraid that Carlos would lose control. Su Qingjia began to look for a topic to talk about." You did a great job, Carlos. I was very happy to see your goal today. Really, you amazed me. Oh, right, I believe that you will become a superstar soon. Carlos, I will be proud of you, you…"
Carlos closed his eyes, and his expression became calm. His eyelashes trembled almost only when he exhaled. Under the sun, the red marks on his face became deeper and deeper. He bent down to pick up the red card on the ground and said to Su Qingjia,"I'm fine. Don't worry. Go back first. I might not be able to send you off today. I have to face the wall.”
His tone was very flat, completely different from his usual self. His calmness was a little scary.
Su Qingjia still wanted to say something, but Carlos walked to the locker room without looking back.
Su Qingjia returned home with worry.
Along the way, her mind was filled with Carlos 'gray eyes, which were filled with coldness.
When she returned, Ming Ling told her that Supervisor Rexatch had called to tell her that Carlos had asked her not to come to La Masia for the next few days. He had to focus on training.
Su Qingjia stayed at home for three days, and her worries gradually increased. On Wednesday morning, she sat in bed for a long time. She decided to ask for leave from school and go to La Masia.
For the past few nights, she had been having a dream. In her dream, Barcelona was experiencing unprecedented heavy rain. The sky was overcast, and every street was filled with water. The Rambla Avenue was filled with mud again. She walked on the road with an umbrella, but she could not see any light.
Carlos was waiting for her at the bus stop in front of the orphanage. The water had already reached his neck. His gray eyes were wide open and filled with despair.
Every time she was about to touch him, the rain would drown him. She could only watch him move his lips in the water, saying," Adios."
Su Qingjia was awakened by this sentence every time. In her dream, Barcelona didn't have the bright sunlight, only water curtains. The entire city was quiet and noisy, and the rain covered the sky.
She had to see Carlos.
Ming Ling was a flexible mother. She could see that Su Qingjia had been restless for the past few days because of Carlos. Her daughter's cute little face had lost a lot of weight. She applied for leave for Su Qingjia and told her that she could go home later.
When they arrived at La Masia, Su Qingjia tried her best to look for Carlos on the field, but after walking around the field three or four times, she still could not see the shiny blond hair.
"Are you looking for the little golden retriever?" Oleg asked. He was not as lively as before. He was a little silent." He hasn't come to train for four days. Every day, he leaves early and then comes back late. No one knows where he went.”
Oleg kicked the ball slightly," Yesterday I greeted him, but he didn't respond to me. He, he..." He thought for a while and searched for some words," Yes, he's like a walking corpse, as if he has lost his soul."”
"What did the coaches say?" Hearing this, Su Qingjia's heart sank even more.
Oleg's expression was a bit distressed, he stomped his feet on the spot," Well, to tell you the truth, the coaches seem to be discussing with the director to stop focusing on Carlos. They..." She glanced at Su Qingjia's face." They might give up Carlos." Ah, I don't know the specific reason. Sigh, if you can find the little golden retriever, remember to persuade him. He only listens to you.”
Su Qingjia was startled and thanked Oleg.
How could this be? Su Qingjia's heart felt as if it had been drowned by the heavy rain in her dream with Carlos.
Su Qingjia managed to calm down. She needed to calm down and find the real reason."Big brother, do you know where Coach Benajes is?”
"I know. Come with me." Oleg didn't expect her to ask where the coach was. He was a little anxious." Hey, if you see the coach, don't cry. Don't tell him that I brought you there. I will be scolded badly."”
"Okay, I won't do anything. I'm just going to check on Carlos. Really, I promise." Su Qingjia said.
The warm-hearted and childish Oleg sent Su Qingjia to the door of Bernajes 'office."We're here. It's right here. Knock on the door and enter. I'm going to train." She added," Remember, don't say that I sent you here. Do you remember? Be careful, I'll beat your boyfriend up next time.”
Su Qingjia gave him a look." Yes, I'll remember."”
Oleg received her gaze and ran away. Along the way, he was thinking, what did this little girl mean? Why didn't he understand? Just like her boyfriend, she was full of drama.
Su Qingjia knocked on the door. After receiving a reply, she tidied her clothes and pushed the door open.
"Hello Coach Benajes, I'm Bella. I wonder if you still remember me."
Of course, Benajes had a deep impression of the little girl who had asked him to celebrate Carlos 'birthday. He had also seen her in the match a few days ago. He nodded and said,"I remember you. You're Carlos 'friend. Please take a seat. Would you like something to drink? Water, milk, or juice?"
" No need," Su Qingjia waved his hand and looked at him." Thank you, sir." I think you should know why I'm here, so I'll get straight to the point. I want to know what you think of Carlos.”
Benajes sighed and said with a slightly regretful tone," Vela, Carlos is indeed very talented and great. If we focus on training him, he will be the new generation of Barcelona's superstar..."
"Then why don't you focus on nurturing them?”Su Qingjia interrupted him.
"This is the decision of the higher-ups. It's the result of our discussion.”
"Can your discussion decide Carlos 'future and his life?”Su Qingjia questioned. Her voice was a little sharp, and anger could not be suppressed from her chest.
Bernajs took out a document from the cabinet." You saw it in this match. He couldn't integrate into the team at all. This is a fatal injury for a professional athlete who plays team sports. Do you understand? We've been keeping a close eye on him for more than a year. He's been a loner ever since he came to La Masia. He never talks to anyone about anything else. He has no friends except you.”He handed the document to Su Qingjia." Take a look at this report.”
This was a psychological test report. Su Qingjia skipped to the end and looked at the diagnosis given by the professional doctor.
It was confirmed that he had low-risk depression and was unable to integrate into normal life. It was recommended to guide the treatment.
The owner of this report was Carlos.
She looked at it several times before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath." So, because of this, you gave up on Carlos, right? Just because of this match, you're sure that he won't be able to get along well with his teammates?”
Bella, La Masia needs to consider a lot, we…"
"Coach Benajes, I want to know if it's true or not.”
"Sorry, yes." Bernajes looked at the stubborn little girl. His daughter was just as stubborn as her. He wanted to comfort her, but the truth was sometimes cruel." When we first found out that he had a mental illness, we were all optimistic. We hoped that life in La Masia could change him, but unfortunately, we failed.”
Su Qingjia returned the report to the coach." Thank you, sir. But I want to know, besides you, who else knows about Carlos's illness?"”
"You are the first. And the last, I promise." Benajes said.
The manager was actually very old. He had dedicated most of his life to football. In the youth training camp, he had seen many geniuses. Some had succeeded, some had fallen. So many people had dreams, but they were destined not to fly.
Carlos was not the first, and he would not be the last.
