"I'm sorry, but your speed, technique, and tactics aren't up to standard. Please try other teams."
"Sorry, Chu. Our trial quota is full, so we don't have a trial plan for the time being.”
"To be honest, your various indicators do not meet the manager's requirements. Besides, you're already 19 years old…"
"We only recruit players under 18.”
……
Xuan thought the situation would be bad, but it was this bad.
He had visited all the professional and semi-professional teams in Sheffield.
Even a small club like Haram FC, which they had never even heard of, could be mercilessly rejected.
On the one hand, Xuan's talent on the surface was indeed very ordinary. Without his explosive power, he was like a layman.
On the other hand, there might also be some arrogance in it.
It was not discrimination, but he did not look down on Eastern football.
Isn't this funny? What kind of amazing star player is there in the East?
Due to the above mentality, Xuan didn't have the chance to train.
Without a match, Xuan's ability to score couldn't be displayed.
Just like that, they fell into an endless loop.
Fortunately, Xuan's careless actions had given him the last spark of hope.
"Coach Adams, I want to…join the team.”
……
"Well, actually, we're just an amateur team. We don't have much training time.”
"You better have another job to support yourself.”
"The highest contract I can give you now is 30 pounds a week.”
"So what? It's not too late to regret now.”
Steve Adams joked in the Steelers office at Stokes Bridge Park.
To be honest, a weekly salary of 30 pounds in the football world was simply a beggar.
However, they were an amateur team, and the players 'main sources of income were other main businesses.
Playing football was more of a hobby and a little bit of football dream that had not been completely shattered.
From the lowest level of the amateur league, there would occasionally be one or two star players.
For example, Waldi, who had achieved the miracle of Fox City, or Klose, the God K...
Presumably, the players who played in the amateur league all hoped to be able to enter the top league stage one day.
Steve Adams had seen many of these daydreaming youths, but the feeling Xuan gave her was completely different.
The others were just 'dreams'.
Xuan, on the other hand, was certain.
Sure enough, Xuan smiled faintly.
"No problem, I've thought about it."
Afterward, Xuan signed his name on the contract.
"Our jerseys are all sponsored by Steel Mill. You can pick up two sets of training jerseys and two sets of home and away game jerseys later.
I haven't printed a number for you yet. I'll make do with it first. After some time, I'll print a number for you when I'm done registering.
By the way, what number do you like?"
The head coach, Adams, unknowingly said a lot before realizing that Xuan's English wasn't very good.
This was bad…
The club did not have the budget to hire a translator for him. He needed to solve it himself.
If the communication was not smooth, it would be difficult to form a cooperation.
An opportunity-type striker like Xuan needed the support of his teammates the most.
He needed to talk to him about it later.
Adams was pondering, but she didn't expect Xuan to reply.
"Coach, do you have number 13?"
"Eh? Yes, yes. I'll arrange the 13th for you.”
Most Europeans were superstitious and thought that the number 13 was unlucky, so very few people chose this number.
And Xuan was wearing the national team's uniform in the World Youth Championship, with number 13 behind him.
This number had a special meaning to him.
It was great that no one was occupying it!
As for what the coach said in English, he did not fully understand it.
However, these days, other than training everywhere, he spent the rest of his time learning English.
His English improved so fast that he could basically guess what the coach meant.
Steve Adams was impressed.
"With this kid's willpower and ability to act, as long as those future coaches of professional teams can discover his brilliance…
This child will definitely have great achievements!"
……
There was no signing ceremony for amateur teams. As for reporters taking photos and interviewing them…How was that possible?
Even though there were only the two of them present, the contract was personally printed by Coach Adams.
Other than that, the Steelers at Stokes Bridge Park were doing pretty well.
The club's office buildings were not stylish, but they looked clean and tidy.
The training ground and the competition ground were all natural turf, and there was even a special maintenance team!
In addition to the First Team's training ground, the youth team also had their own training ground!
It was summer vacation, and the training ground was used to hold football interest classes. Many children under the age of six played football and had fun here. It was very lively.
Xuan couldn't help but take a few glances.
Heh, even a six-year-old child could play very well. It was indeed a place where football culture flourished.
As for the First Team, there was still some time before the league tournament began.
What Xuan had seen before was only the recovery training of some players.
A week later, most of the players would be back, and they could start pre-season hitting training!
Everyone had work to do during the day, so the training time was usually arranged at night.
The head coach said that he would introduce the new player, Xuan, to everyone when the team gathered for training.
That night, Xuan lay in bed, unable to sleep.
He could not wait to step onto the field!
