Chapter 2 Confrontation on the field(1/2)

There are still three days left before the trial training, but to survive until then, the cash-strapped Levi must find a way to find a temporary job.

After packing his clothes, he went out early.

However, one morning passed, and almost all of them were rejected by Levi. For a guy like him who is young and has an unknown background, it is extremely difficult to find a job!

It’s no exaggeration that a penny can stump a heroic man!

Fortunately, Levi was different from the original owner. As a veteran who had worked for many years, he knew the importance of connections and quickly set his sights on the Leeds United scout who discovered the original owner.

Judging from the diary, the scout named Andy Gray is quite good.

Li Wei found a public phone and dialed it, and the other party was indeed very enthusiastic:

"Lee, take my business card and go to the southwest corner of Elland Road Stadium - do you know Elland Road Stadium? But anyway, no one here doesn't know Elland Road - find a place called Billy's Bar, just

Say you were introduced by me, I think the boss will hire you."

Following Gray's instructions, Levi quickly found this Billy Bar on Elland Road. Of course, this was also because of the bar's sign, which was quite eye-catching.

On the huge oak signboard, there is a bagpipe in the background. I think the owner of this store has a Scottish atmosphere. Well, it is an atmosphere, not flirting, but I wonder if there are any waiters who wear big pants into kilts?

Opening the door, Levi suddenly seemed to have arrived at a country bar in an old movie.

The fireplace, wooden beams, slate, dim lights, long wooden bar, and faded black and white photos look like they were lifted out of a Danny Boyle movie.

Is this the 1970s?

How can such an old-fashioned bar have any decent business?

Levi was very suspicious.

He arrived relatively early, and there were not many customers in the store yet, so soon a clerk came up to greet him.

"How can I help you?"

"Hello, I'm looking for a part-time job here. I was recommended by Mr. Andy Gray. Is the boss here?"

After hearing this, the other party started to look a little impatient:

"What Mr. Gray, I've never heard of it!"

"We have no shortage of manpower here, please don't hinder our business!"

Naturally, Levi would not give up just like that. When the two were arguing, an old man came out from behind the bar.

He looks about sixty years old. Although he is short in stature, his muscle lines are quite clear, which makes people feel that he still has plenty of energy. His curly hair is already a little gray, but he can still tell that he was in the 1960s and 1970s.

The shadow of the hairstyle of the Beatles in the 1990s.

The green sportswear on the old man's body has been washed and turned a little white, but Levi can still tell that this style of green sportswear seems to be exclusive to the Irish national team?

"Introduced by Andy?" The old man glanced at the business card in Levi's hand and nodded, "Young man, what's your relationship with Andy?"

"After I failed the trial at Manchester United, it was Mr. Gray who found me and recommended me to come to Leeds United for a trial."

"That's it." When Levi said the word "Manchester United", the old man's eyebrows raised imperceptibly, "Young man, I heard you say that you will go to Sopuak for a trial training in three days.

But you don’t have money to pay for the room, right?”

"Yes, sir, so I need a job that can give me thirty pounds in advance."

"Boss, I heard this is just to defraud money," the clerk next to the old man said anxiously, "Don't be fooled..."

The old man waved his hand and interrupted him:

"Well, let's do this, here is thirty pounds. If you succeed in the trial training after three days, this is your salary in advance. You can come to work with me at a salary of six pounds an hour. The working hours will be discussed later; if you fail the trial training

If you are ready to leave, then consider these thirty pounds as my sponsorship for you."

"Thank you so much, sir! I...

"Call me John, they all call me that." The old man reminded gently.

"Okay, first...John...Boss," Levi got used to the title and continued, "What I want to say is, even if I fail, I will definitely find a way to give the thirty pounds to

Yours!"

The old man smiled and said nothing.

After thanking Li Wei repeatedly, he said goodbye and left.

After he left, the clerk was still muttering dissatisfiedly:

"Boss, how could that Chinese pass the trial training at Leeds United? That thirty pounds was completely wasted!"

The old man smiled, and there seemed to be a trace of nostalgia in his smile:

"Everything is possible, isn't it? Let's wait and see."

※※※※※※

After coming out of Billy Bar, Levi breathed a sigh of relief.

Phew, the problem of food and clothing has finally been solved, now it’s time to face the most severe test!

Levi got up early the next day, hurriedly put on his jersey and shoes, picked up the football, and prepared to practice on the field.

After all, he is not yet familiar with the capabilities of this body, so he always has to improvise before the trial training.

From the diary, Li Wei had roughly learned about the original owner's past training in advance. The original owner's talent was not outstanding among his friends, especially compared to the one he said was Leizi, who was four years younger than him.

Very far.

Therefore, at this age when children who are good at football are playing forward, the original owner is fixed in the midfielder position.

Of course, he is not without merit. Whenever it comes to physical training, the original owner's diary seems to turn into a sunny day.

Among the nearly 100 children in Xu's coaching base, the original owner's endurance is firmly ranked first. After running 10,000 meters, he can still maintain his technical movements without deformation. This is something that many adult professional players cannot do, and it is also the original owner.

The main reason for being selected into this training team.

Levi was very envious of this. In his previous life, he was limited by his physical fitness. If he went all out, he could only last for half a game. This forced him to distribute his energy more reasonably, so he was nicknamed "The Big Sword" by his teammates.

"Kicking method".

But in this life, it seems that he will not have this trouble.

But apart from physical fitness, the original owner really doesn’t have any outstanding achievements in other sports. In terms of physical fitness, he is still above average among his peers at the base.

But in terms of technology, even the defensive skills such as blocking, anticipation, and one-on-one marking that a defensive midfielder should have, the original owner can only barely pass. As for the offensive skills such as dribbling, passing, and shooting, just look at

You can tell from the original owner’s diary during these trainings, which always ends with:

"It's so miserable that I don't want to write about it."

From this point of view, the original owner’s bleak trial training experience is really not a coincidence!

Fortunately, these are Levi's strengths. In his previous life, whether he was in the college team, the school team or the amateur team after working, he had outstanding footwork and exquisite skills and was the core of the team's frontcourt.

It's a pity that no matter how outstanding he is, he was not a professional player in his previous life. Didn't a certain writer say: Never use your hobbies to challenge other people's work?

In his previous life on the field, Levi had heard rumors that many retired defenders and even goalkeepers from professional teams could transform into Maradona on the field. Unfortunately, he had never played against them.

He was really unsure of how useful the Yehu Zen he had trained on the field would be in the trial training of a professional team.

But no matter what, you have to give it a try first!

※※※※※※

When Levi came to the court, two football games had already begun in the two halves of the court. There were still some primary school students on one side, so he set his sights on the other side and stepped forward with the ball in his arms:

"Classmate, would you like to add one more? I'm not very good at kicking."

In his previous life, Levi remembered seeing a very famous picture of Zidane, Del Piero, Podolski, Kaká, and Xavi Alonso holding a ball, with the text: "Classmate, 5

Play 5 and add one? We are not very good at playing."

He could only repay him in this life.

Speaking of which, I now have the physical fitness of a quasi-professional player, plus top-notch skills on the domestic field field. Am I pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger like them?

Li Wei thought rather narcissistically.

"Chinese? Chinese can also play football?"

A lean, short black boy walked out of the crowd. His mature face made Li Wei feel familiar, and his deliberately trimmed eyebrows showed a hint of fierceness, but his childish eyes proved that he was probably no better than him.

Levi is older.

Aren’t there some adults playing football here?

He glanced again and confirmed that he had read correctly. Most of the people here were adults in their twenties and thirties. But why did it seem that this boy was the leader? Could it be that he was responsible for the football?

But Li Wei didn't have time to delve into these details.

"Of course."

"Okay, but you have to use your ball. Our ball is a little out of air."

"No problem."

He waved and a big man came over:

"Woody, this guy is on your team."
