This is a university stadium. There were many people sitting in the low stands. On the football field surrounded by the stands, twenty-three teenagers stood in line, and in front of them, several middle-aged people stood.

One of them was prominent, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

He is the former main striker of the Chinese national team, the number one striker in Asia. He has retired and appeared in front of everyone in casual clothes today.

Not only the twenty-three teenagers present were looking at him, but also the people in the stands were looking at him, and some people took out their cameras to take pictures.

Zhou Jianliang is also among this group of people. He is holding a camera and taking pictures, but his camera is not a legendary figure in Chinese football, but his son Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi is among those twenty-three teenagers.

When he first persuaded his wife to let his son participate in this draft, even Zhou Jianliang did not expect that his son would be able to overcome all the difficulties, stand out from the auditions, and enter the final national finals. Although his score was the last of these 23 people, he was at least one of the 23 best football boys in China.

He wants to take more photos of his son as a memorial to this unforgettable summer vacation.

In his camera, Zhou Yi was watching Hao Dong concentrate on his eyes, just like the children around him.

For a young man who loves football, Hao Dong, the former international player, is famous and is their idol.

Zhou Yi's face was filled with excitement when he was able to get in touch with this idol at such a close distance. There was no tension in his face to participate in the finals...

Hao Dong stood in front of the twenty-three teenagers and was speaking.

"...First of all, congratulations to the children for entering the finals. You are already the 23 best people in this age group in China. In the next finals, I hope you can perform at your normal level, play well, strive to become winners, and be qualified to represent China to challenge the European giant youth team."

His words made the children excited.

Going to Europe and competing with the youth teams of wealthy clubs is the purpose of these people working hard to achieve this finals.

Now, it’s only one step away from this goal - as long as they can perform well in this finals and win the favor of the legend of the national football team in front of them, their dreams can come true!

But the elimination rate is a bit high... Among the twenty-three people, only one person can stand out in the end.

Of course, every young man is very confident in his heart, believing that he can become the best person.

Hao Dong continued: "Before the finals start, I will say one more thing: Please remember, children, football is a team sport."

After saying that, he glanced at the audience and saw the expressions on each of the twenty-three teenagers' faces.

The children seemed to have not yet come back to their senses from their beautiful vision of the outside world. After hearing his words, there was no change in expression on their faces.

He knew that these excited and nervous teenagers did not listen to his last words.

So he waved his hand: "Okay, let Team Leader Wu take you into groups."

After saying that, a slightly fat middle-aged man next to him stood up. This is Team Leader Wang.

Hao Dong turned around and walked towards the rostrum on the sidelines with the others.

"The selected people from all over the country are different. I think most of them are in high spirits and are not very nervous..." said a man who was with him. He looked a little younger than Hao Dong. "Maybe he can really find good seedlings!"

Hao Dong said without comment: "Let's take a look first, Xiao Wang."

He took off the sunglasses clipped to the collar, put them on his face, and then looked up at the sky. The scorching sun at four o'clock in the afternoon showed a kind of blue-green color in his sunglasses. The light was not so dazzling and slightly soft, but the temperature did not drop. It was sunburned on everyone's head, making people feel like they were in the oven.

Hao Dong left, and Team Leader Wu clapped his face and said, "Okay, let's divide the team."

The teenagers then reluctantly moved their eyes away from Hao Dong's back and turned to Team Leader Wu.

"I called my name and come out to get this." Team Leader Wu raised his hand and grabbed the red training vest in his hand, with a white number on the back.

"Huang Zhihua, Zhang Yihao, Liu Yiwei, Li Haoran..."

Every young man who is called will run out of the team with a happy look on his face and pick up his own vest, while those young men who are not called look at the lucky ones with envious and longing eyes, hoping that their names will be called in their hearts.

Unlike the various selection modes in the auditions, the rules of the finals are simple - twenty-three people are divided into two teams, playing a game, and the player with the best performance can get a place to participate in the reality show.

Eleven people were quickly selected.

Next, Team Leader Wu picked up a blue training vest and said, "I called the person with the name to get this."

This is the Blue Team.

"Liu Yadong, Yang Fei, Li Xiang, Liu Haowei..."

Another person came out of the crowd and took away their vests.

Twenty-three people are divided into two teams, one team, one team, one team, and two teams are twenty-two people, so there will be an unlucky guy who can't get the chance to start.

When the leader finished pronunciating the last name, Zhou Yi was still standing there.

He was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and asked, "Captain, where is me?"

"You're a substitute." Team Leader Wu glanced at Zhou Yi and said.

A burst of laughter rang out from the crowd opposite - twenty-two of the twenty-three people got the chance to play, and the remaining one must be a substitute. They joked that Zhou Yi had to ask him on his own initiative, isn't this a humiliation?

None of them was surprised that Zhou Yi was a substitute. Among the twenty-three people, he was the one with the worst score in the national auditions. Who would be the substitute if he didn't serve as a substitute?

Zhou Yi seemed to understand this, so after the leader said this, he just said oh and stopped talking about anything else.

※※※

Zhou Jianliang, who has been observing his son, also discovered that his son has become the only substitute.

When both players of the Red and Blue teams ran onto the stadium and were preparing for the game, only his son Zhou Yi turned around, walked towards the long bench on the sidelines, and sat down.

Zhou Jianliang remembered a conversation between the father and son after his son successfully entered the finals.

He had successfully entered the national finals at that time, and the result had exceeded Zhou Jianliang's expectations. He did not want to put too much pressure on his son, so on the way to Beijing, he talked to Zhou Yi about his expectations for the finals. He told his son that he was already very proud and satisfied to be able to reach the finals.

It means don't put too much pressure on your son.

But his son's answer was beyond his expectations.

"I want to go to Europe, dad."

Sitting on the train to Beijing, Zhou Yi said to his father with a smile.

Zhou Jianliang still remembers his son's expression. It was not a hippie smile, but a smile that he yearned for.

As a father, Zhou Jianliang could see that his son really wanted to go to Europe and joined that team to challenge the youth team of the wealthy clubs he could only see on TV.

Before that, my idea was just to leave a beautiful memory for my son in the last summer vacation where he could relax before the key college entrance examination. And his wife, son's mother, must have only used this failure experience to dispel his son's "unrealistic" fantasy in football.

What they didn't expect was that his son had a clear goal from the beginning and he was not here to travel.

Seeing his son sitting alone on the iron bench, Zhou Jianliang, as his father, felt a little unwilling to accept it deep in his heart.

As the team's head coach in this reality show and the final judge of the draft, Hao Dong was sitting on the rostrum, with his hands on the table and lifting his chin.

He frowned slightly as he stared at the court.

He didn't mean to imitate Commander Ikari's outfit in EVA, but the current situation really made him feel a little headache.

The national auditions for the reality show "Superstar Heir" have been ongoing for a month, and now it is finally coming to the end, which should have been a happy thing.

But Hao Dong was not happy now because he did not see the candidates qualified to enter his team among the twenty-two teenagers on the court.

Although the producer told him that this audition was a gimmick, the main purpose was to attract widespread attention from the public and attract more fans to participate, so in the end, just select a person symbolically, and no one expects that person to be very talented. Can you really gain a foothold and make contributions in the European teams at that time...

But as a successful former professional player, Hao Dong has his own pursuits and principles for football itself.

He still hopes to try his best to discover some good seedlings through this method. This is why he turned a blind eye to those who have received professional football club echelon training. You should know that the registration rules say that no teenagers who have received professional or professional football training are allowed to register.

The reason why Hao Dong did this is because he felt that he had to have the ability to train people who had received professional football clubs. Football is a very professional thing. It is difficult for a person who has not received professional football training to compete with foreign geniuses who have been immersed in the highest level of training since childhood. In addition, as a veteran, he also knows that the dirty things in Chinese football may be guaranteed that some very talented people were fired from the team because they offended the coach and the leader?

This audition is actually to give them a chance.

But unfortunately, the national auditions came to the end and finally selected twenty-three people to come to Beijing to compete in the finals. Among these twenty-three people, there are those with good skills and abilities, but if Hao Dong really wants to make Hao Dong look bright and meet his inner standards... So far, he has not seen one.

Is it really that I have too high requirements?
