Two days later, this year’s Mercedes-Benz Champions Cup came to an end.
The final was between Bayern and Arsenal. The score was 4:0. Bayern swept the cup with a victory in seven games.
Outside the hotel building, buses from various clubs were parked on the roadside.
Chen Mo, who was wearing sportswear and carrying a backpack, was sitting on the suitcase eating bread and waiting to get on the bus. At this time, the sturdy Bastian Schweinsteiger came over and said with a slumped face: "I wanted to get rid of you here." , but you were lucky not to play in the final."
"...What does it mean to get rid of me? Do you know how to use the words?" Chen Mo rolled his eyes and joked: "By the way, I am going to participate in the World Youth Championship soon. Are you participating too? We are going Don’t want to decide the outcome at the World Youth Championship?”
"I...don't think that you will win by being tough!"
"I hope you can see my post-match interview at the World Youth Championship in Germany."
"I hope the coach lets you play!"
Schweinsteiger was trembling with anger and resentment, and turned to leave. On the other side, Ramos, who was also prepared to talk a few words, saw this scene, silently lowered his head, and turned back to his team.
"I'm so envious that I can participate in the World Youth Championship."
Watching Bastian Schweinsteiger leave, Messi stood aside with his hands on his hips, a little sour on his face. Chen Mo smiled and said: "I'm so jealous. Grandpa said that I went to the game this time just to go through the motions and satisfy some people's needs." Due to political needs, I will probably come on as a substitute in one or two games where the strength of the team is unequal at most. Unlike you, who can play the main role in the league, I will have to sit on the bench for several months."
"Please, the World Youth Championship and the Youth League are completely different, okay? This is an international-level competition! You just got the advantage and behaved!"
Messi was angry, Chen Mo smiled and hugged his neck: "Hahaha, let's go, let's get in the car and go home."
"snort!"
.
Originally, Chen Mo thought that he would be recruited by the coach to join the National Youth Team in February or March. After all, he had to play in the South American Youth Football Championship in March before playing in the World Youth Championship in May. Only in this tournament consisting of ten South American teams Argentina can qualify for the World Youth Championship only if the team finishes in the top four in the event, which is similar to the World Cup qualifiers.
However, it is obvious that the coach regarded him as a mascot and did not recruit him during the South American Youth Football Championship stage.
Pique and others all felt a little pity and felt that they had lost a great opportunity for exposure, but Chen Mo felt that it was okay because he could sit on the bench for two months less. And with the end of the Mercedes-Benz Champions League, the outstanding performance of the four of them was noticed by the club, and they directly completed the triple jump from the U14 echelon to the U17 echelon.
The games played by the U17 echelon are obviously more confrontational, and the opponents are also stronger. The physical gap brought by age alone is huge, but geniuses are geniuses. Although the four Chen Mo are only 14 years old, they have experienced After the first one or two weeks of adapting, he quickly secured his main position in the U17 echelon.
However, even after coming to U17, the living conditions of Chen Mo and Messi have not changed much. They get up every morning and run ten kilometers in the morning, then have breakfast, and then play games when there are games. If they are not on game days, they go to school.
Of course, with the revelation of football talents, clubs and coaches no longer have strict requirements for their academic performance, as long as they can meet the minimum standards of the Spanish Professional League-get a high school diploma.
This made Chen Mo sleep openly in the classroom. After all, since Guardiola decided to leave Camp Nou and the main team played less and less time, the special training time at night has been lengthened and the frequency has become more frequent. Very tired.
Time flies like water, winter turns to spring in a blink of an eye, and the eagle flies in April.
"I said Keli, you don't care about this guy sleeping on the table every day?"
"What does it matter?"
"Buy him a pillow. Sleeping like this is bad for blood circulation."
"..."
At Gallia Junior High School, during recess time, Chen Mo, Messi, and Pique were all lined up in a row, sleeping in a row by the window on the right side.
Her best friend Ona leaned against the corner of the table and muttered, while Keli rolled her eyes speechlessly: "He is an athlete, so why do we need to worry about blood circulation..."
Ona nodded thoughtfully and glanced at Chen Mo at the table: "That's right, but wasn't there a big fuss in Argentina some time ago about recruiting Xiao Mo into the national team? Why is there no news yet?"
"I guess it will be soon. I heard from him that the group stage of the World Youth Championship will start at the end of April or the beginning of May."
"That's it...then are you nervous?!"
Ona winked and had a teasing expression, but Keli pursed her lips and said in a sour voice: "I'm so nervous. I have a girlfriend, so it's not my turn to be nervous."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I asked you to take action earlier, but you put aside your pretense of being reserved, now we can only be friends! I don't know what you think, Xiao Mo is handsome, has a good personality, plays football well, and has little future. When it comes to making millions a year, the key is that you still have the fate arranged by your teacher! It's a pity that the fate of Mrs. Rich has left you just like this."
Ona teased, Keli crossed her arms and shook her chin: "Hey, I Keli don't need to rely on others to support me!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, she is really a career-minded woman. However, under normal circumstances, shouldn't I say [I don't like him, Keli] or [I'm not interested in this kind of man]? It seems..."
"Ah! Shut up!"
Two pretty little lolita were making a fuss. The boys next to them looked at them and then at Chen Mo, who was sleeping soundly on the table, with some envy. At this time, the dean of students and old coach Zach appeared at the door of the classroom.
The dean knocked on the classroom door with the middle knuckle of his finger, and the classroom immediately became quiet. The dean looked around and soon saw Chen Mo sleeping by the window. A smile appeared on his face, and he led old Zach to the podium: "Kelly, put it there." Please wake up, classmate Chen Mo."
Keli quickly shrugged Chen Mo's arm. Chen Mo woke up leisurely, with a confused expression on his face.
"School is over?"
"...The dean is here, he's looking for you!"
"Oh ah!!!"
Subconsciously, Chen Mo immediately stood up and hurriedly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
This scene made many students in the class burst into laughter. The dean laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, Chen Mo. Come out, your coach Zach has good news to tell you."
good news?
Chen Mo was stunned and immediately understood what was going to happen. He ran out of the classroom. As soon as he left the classroom door, there were whispers in the classroom.
"The notification is coming?!"
"What an exaggeration. He joined the national team at the age of fourteen."
"I'm not sure yet. Who knows if there is an admission notice..."
There was an uproar in the classroom. The classmate closest to the door listened with open ears. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and said excitedly to the classmate next to him: "He was selected! I heard that old uncle said that he would go to Argentina in two days. Report!”
The classroom exploded instantly!
"Really selected?!"
"My junior high school classmate joined the national team! Oh! How can I feel like I am participating in history? This is simply... exaggerated!"
"Ah! Keli, he is really selected!"
The faces of the students were full of disbelief. They all turned sideways and whispered to each other, and there was a lot of discussion.
Keli by the window was shaken by Ona's shoulders in excitement, her little head tossed back and forth, her face was calm, but the little fist under the drawer was clenched so tightly that it was shaking!
"Why are you running so fast..."
