But in the business game against Dortmund, his hard work was not to attract Dortmund's attention...

I didn't expect to be so careless.

Go or not?

Of course he wanted to go, but he had just become the main player in Chongming, Shanghai. His experiences when he went to Europe to participate in the reality show filming are still vivid in his mind. He has not even entered the ranks of first-class players in China. When he went to Europe, he was in a giant team like Dortmund that just won the Champions League championship. What opportunities can he get?

Originally, his plan to go abroad was to join a mid-range team in the five major European leagues, with more opportunities to play. Only by playing in the game can he train and improve himself. When he goes to a wealthy family, his reputation sounds beautiful, but he can't even enter the big list. What's the point? Such examples were once everywhere among the senior Chinese players who went abroad. Wasn't Hao Junmin also very glorious when he went to Schalke 04? What happened in the end?

Although Yan Min is second in the middle, he is not stupid. Starting from the youth team, he has been able to reach this point today. It is not just relying on middle and motivation, but he still has a clear plan for his future.

As a result, Dortmund's interest in him suddenly disrupted his planning.

This made him hesitate.

If he goes to Dortmund, is it a good choice? Will he waste a few years in Dortmund, achieve nothing, and finally have to return to China in shame?

...

Seeing Yan Min suddenly stopped talking, how could Xu Genbao, a teacher who has been taking him to the top since childhood, not telling what he was thinking about?

So he said, "Min Min..."

Yan Min raised his head. When he was very young, Xu Zhi used it. It was the nickname given to him by his parents. Later, as he grew older and as his performance in the team became better and better, Xu Zhi rarely called him that, especially he wanted to maintain the majesty of his head coach and club chairman in front of the whole team...

"Do you still remember how you answered me when I asked you if you wanted to come to Chongming to learn football?"

Yan Min looked at Xu Genbao blankly.

"You were not alone at that time, and you had two children. I remember correctly... Both of them said to me without hesitation, just you, you drooped your eyebrows and asked me: 'Can I do it?' Hahaha!" At this point, Xu Genbao burst into laughter.

Yan Min felt a little embarrassed, and he also remembered that his performance was inferior at that time, and later he was laughed at by two little fellow villagers who were traveling with him for a long time. But where did those two little fellow villagers go? I can't remember it. Anyway, I'm not in Chongming and haven't contacted him for a long time...

"Those two children also came to Chongming for training, but they are no longer with me now. You are the only one." Xu Genbao continued, "Do you know why you can stay for the end?"

Yan Min shook his head, actually he wanted to say: I have good talent?

Of course, he could say such words to others, but he could not say this to his mentor in front of him. In that case, he would definitely be scolded by Xu Zhi...

"Your talent is not particularly good, but you have a characteristic that I like. When I was selected by three children in your city, you performed the most inferior and had no confidence at all. I know what your current teammates said about you, saying you are arrogant. You know this yourself, right?"

Yan Min scratched his head again, indeed. He knew that his personality was sometimes not likable, but he did not plan to change it. He lived his own life. It doesn’t matter whether others like it or not, whoever they love it.

"But in my opinion, you are not arrogant at all, and you are even a little... inferior."

Xu Genbao's words surprised Yan Min a little. The reason for this surprise was very complicated. On the one hand, Xu Zhi's conclusion was different from Yan Min's own feelings. On the other hand, Yan Min actually wanted to agree with Xu Zhi's conclusion in her heart...

"At that time, your physical fitness was not very good. Apart from running fast, you were almost useless, you were very thin, and you were not tall. I even thought you had been malnourished all the time, and of course your family was not in good condition at that time..."

Yan Min nodded in his heart. If Xu said that he had not agreed to pay the tuition for meeting him, his parents would not have agreed to go to Shanghai, thousands of miles away from his hometown to learn football.

"After coming to Chongming Island, you were the one of the most hard-working and crazy-performing children among the group of children. Since then, your teammates have said that you are arrogant and annoying. Am I right?" Xu Genbao said to Yan Min.

Xu Zhi is of course right. Since entering Chongming Island, Yan Min’s friends have been very rare. At first, there were two fellow villagers. Later, after they got along with other children, their relationship with Yan Min became weak, and they only had the friendship of fellow villagers. Yan Min knew that he was not likable, but at that time he didn’t care about pleasing others. He was determined to improve himself so that he could achieve success in learning here, and not waste his parents’ jobs every month and then remitted living expenses to himself. On the one hand, it was naturally to be able to stand out in football. He liked football and hoped to be able to use it as a profession. For this reason, he believed that his innate conditions were not outstanding enough, of course he had to work harder and more crazy than being more human.

What Yan Min didn't know was that his impulse was like a burning flame. While pushing him to keep running forward, he also turned himself into a scorching fireball, making it difficult for ordinary people to get close to.

"At that time, I thought of some attention for those children from poor families, and solved the problem of living expenses for learning football in Shanghai, which was to accept the relatives. I asked Wu Lei to recognize Cheng Dafa as his grandfather, and solved his living expenses. But I didn't find a relative for you, so I could only let your parents support your living expenses for playing football here. Do you know why?" This time, Xu Genbao did not ask Yan Min to think about it or say it himself, but immediately continued, "Because you have such a bad temper, you can offend people too easily. When you accept the relatives and offend people, you will have to ask me to wipe your butt? I don't want to do it! I just thought, how did you get this personality? Later I figured it out, it was because of your lack of confidence."

Yan Min was very surprised. How did this involve himself being unconfidence? He has a low education and does not study much, but he also knows that arrogance and unconfidence are completely antonyms, right?

"Some people are not confident, and they will throw their heads. Some people are not confident and will feel that others are targeting him. But your lack of confidence makes you work harder, and at the same time makes you work very confident. However, if you accidentally exert too much force, you will become arrogant and arrogant. But no matter how you disguise, deep down, you are still a little kid in your bones. So when I asked you if you would like to go to Dortmund, you must have wondered in your heart if you can adapt to Dortmund and whether you can do it... Just like when I asked you if you wanted to play football in Chongming, right?"

When Xu Genbao asked, Yan Min was struck by lightning, sitting on the sofa, opening his mouth wide, and staring at the mentor in front of him, his eyes as if he was looking at a Taoist monk.
