"Eh, Sun Jihai? Brother Sun, you were looking for me?"
Xuan was stunned. He would never have expected Sun Jihai to come looking for him and find him at the restaurant.
In 2004, when he was training with the National Youth Team, he was in the same training base as the adult men's soccer team.
At that time, Xuan had seen Sun Jihai from afar.
At that time, the national football team was at its peak in terms of strength and reputation.
The star players on the team were also role models for the young players of the National Youth League.
Unexpectedly, after four years, the two of them had fallen from the peak to the bottom.
Just like the Eastern men's soccer team.
……
There weren't many customers in the restaurant. Xuan and Sun Jihai found a quiet place to sit opposite each other.
"Have you seen me before?"
Sun Jihai was a little surprised.
He looked up information and found out that Xuan was a famous kid on the national youth team, but he disappeared without a trace.
It was a pity that he had never come into contact with him before and couldn't help Xuan.
"Yes, when I was on the National Youth Team, I was in the same training base as you.”
Xuan smiled faintly.
He estimated that Sun Jihai probably wouldn't care about the national youth players.
As expected, Sun Jihai was enlightened.
"No wonder. I remember that time when your National Youth League was preparing for the World Youth Championship. Later on, at the World Youth Championship, you…"
Sun Jihai did not continue.
He remembered that the national football team's star of hope had been seriously injured in the World Youth Championship.
At that time, Xuan was high-spirited and unruly.
He was a completely different person from the calm and profound young man in front of him.
"Yes, I injured my leg. I couldn't find a chance in China, so I came to the amateur team here to play.”
Xuan didn't mind, calmly telling him his most painful experience.
In reality, Xuan had let go of it the moment he joined the team.
"Sigh, it's not easy for you either. If it weren't for the Football Association…you would definitely have had a chance to be selected…"
Sun Jihai shook his head helplessly.
Sun Jihai was all too clear about the nature of the Football Association.
He really felt sorry for Xuan.
"By the way, why is Brother Sun looking for me this time?”
"Actually, it's nothing much. I just heard that there's a fellow countryman in Sheffield and wanted to get to know him.
I didn't expect that we had a relationship before.
Moreover, we are opponents in the next FA Cup match.”
Sun Jihai's smile was somewhat helpless and complicated.
If it was in the past, there would definitely be domestic media wantonly exaggerating the concept of the " Eastern Derby."
The two Eastern players each served their own masters and launched a battle full of gunpowder on the same field.
He and Li Tie had a few " Eastern Derby ", which caused the media to be on cloud nine for a month.
But now, no one was paying attention to an insignificant FA Cup game. Even the fans could not remember their existence.
"Brother Sun, are you starting?"
"Yes, I'll be the starter."
"It's pretty good. Although I didn't enter the national football team to play with you, it's not bad to play against each other on the field.”
Xuan still had that calm smile.
But Sun Jihai's defense was almost broken by Xuan.
Damn it!
Why did the original star of hope end up like this?
The future of the men's football team was very promising at that time!
Damn it!
Sun Jihai's heart was full of unwillingness, but he did not want to strike a blow to the young man's football dream.
The old man, who was over 30 years old, could only squeeze out a smile."See you at the arena."
"Okay, see you at the competition."
The two former national footballers looked at each other. They both knew that they would give their all in the next game.
……
Sun Jihai casually chatted for a while before politely bidding farewell and leaving.
Before he left, he even encouraged Xuan to stick to his dreams.
Xuan finally had the time to think about the illusion in front of him after watching his big brother leave.
It seemed that the moment Vardy decided to go on a date, the illusion appeared involuntarily.
Xuan felt that this illusion was somehow familiar.
That's right! Phantom!
The phantom of the Fox of the Forbidden Zone!
Could it be that the ability of the phantom of the Fox of the Forbidden Zone was actually to predict the future?
His performance on the field was that if there was a chance to score in a certain position in the future, the phantom would be there to remind him?
Including the celebratory action in his dream, which seemed to be the signature action of a certain world superstar…
The ability of this cheat was getting more and more ridiculous.
Compared to these…
Xuan wanted to see if he could become a professional footballer again in the future. Could he join a wealthy family?
Could he still run as fast as lightning like he used to?
Unfortunately, there was no movement for a long time.
He simply gave up and didn't think about it.
Since he couldn't see the future, he would write about it!
……
"What is it? You chatted with Sun Jihai?"
Returning to his third uncle's house, Xuan shared his experiences with his little sister, Chu Qianqian.
Chu Qianqian was a little excited when she heard that Sun Jihai had appeared.
Sun Jihai did not have much reputation in the football world, but he was also one of the faces of the national football team.
It was the ceiling of a player who had stayed abroad. He could barely be considered a famous star player.
However, Chu Qianqian did not even get an autograph.
"Damn, when I become a superstar in the future, my autograph will be worth a lot of money too.”
" Then you should become a superstar first!"
"Right!" Chu Qianqian suddenly remembered," The next FA Cup is the Eastern Derby!”
"This is just a gimmick from the media. It doesn't make any sense.”
"It's meaningful!"
Chu Qianqian pouted, feeling a little unconvinced.
"This is your first derby match! No, I want to record it and explain the game to you!”
Xuan's head hurt.
He really did not understand. It was just an FA Cup match. Was there a need to be so grand?
