Chapter 2 Ambition
Grandma's raised arm still didn't fall down.Looking at Xiang Nan who was crying like a tearful person sitting in front of the TV, the old man was stunned.The vicissitudes of life of the grandma can see that her precious grandson is crying and suffering from the bottom of her heart.

The old man is not a fan. Although she doesn't understand why her precious grandson is so sad, is it necessary to be so sad just because the Dutchman stopped playing football?
Grandma looked at Xiang Nan who was crying so hard, she didn't speak, and she didn't ask Xiang Nan to come over for dinner. In her philosophy, if you cry, you have to cry enough.When his wife passed away, his grandmother carried his daughter on his back, and his son-in-law cried all day; when Xiangnan’s parents both passed away in a vicious car accident when Xiangnan was four years old, they endured the white-haired man sending the black-haired man away. The old man in pain held his crying grandson in his arms, and the grandson and grandson cried until they were in tears. Then, the grandmother brought Xiang Nan from the sad place of Rio de Janeiro to Liege, and it will be two years in a blink of an eye.

At this moment, the old man looked at his deeply distressed grandson, who was always kind and courteous to the old man, but he even had a slight feeling of hating someone, that so-called Bolie. I heard that it was because of his despicable tackling that the Dutchman retired. This despicable Bolie, his precious grandson will not be so sad, "Damn Bolie!"

At this moment, the old man also began to think for the first time, is it right or wrong to keep this child away from his beloved football?
At dinner, Xiang Nan hardly ate anything. After a hasty meal, Xiang Nan greeted grandma and went out.

Grandma knew that the child must have gone out to find Alexander. Alexander is the neighbor next door. It is said that he used to be a professional player and moved from Brazil. Because of this relationship, the two families are quite close, so the two families also Often come and go.

Xiang Nan has been secretly following Alexander to learn how to play football and practice football skills, even to the point of obsession.Grandma knew about it a long time ago, so she just pretended not to know. She knew the reason why the child was so obsessed with football, and she was also very contradictory about it, and this reason was precisely the root cause of the old man's respect for football.

And Alexander also likes this serious child very much, almost giving him everything.

In Brazil, almost every professional player's skills are top-notch, the difference is the talent and inspiration on the court.Obviously, Alexander is such a player with first-class skills and lack of talent. Otherwise, he would not have been in a Brazilian second-tier club for a few years and retired before he was thirty. Nan is more than enough, and it is also very appropriate. This has also created Xiang Nan's solid basic skills. In terms of technology, it can be said that compared with Brazilians of the same age, it is not inferior.

In Alexander's view, this child has a natural aura for football, and it can even be said that he was born for football. He has excellent skills, super comprehension, and the child's terrifying speed. The speed at which he dribbled the ball often reminded Alexander of a person, that in the 1990 World Cup, he stabbed Brazil and Italy with the two swords of the Flying Immortal, the Son of the Wind, Caniggia , Although he is a Brazilian, Alexander does not hide his admiration for the Argentine Caniggia.

This has also allowed Alexander, who has been depressed about his short professional football career, to find spiritual sustenance. This somewhat flirtatious uncle even saw from Xiang Nan that he would one day be a leader in the green field!
However, Xiangnan’s biggest idol is the great Basten, which made Alexander a little uncomfortable. Although Alexander also recognized Basten very much, the natural elegant style of Latin Americans made him more inclined to like Latin American players. .

"Andre, what's the matter with you?" Alexander saw that Xiang Nan's mood was quite low today, even a little decadent. This is not like this kid's style. Xiang Nan's extreme self-confidence often makes himself, as a teacher, very useless. face.

'Andre' is Alexander's European name for Xiangnan, because his Chinese name Xiangnan, the Brazilian comrade Alexander, has never been able to pronounce the sound of 'Xiang'.

"Uncle Alexander, Basten has retired!" Xiang Nan's voice was full of tears.

"Oh!" Alexander was speechless when he heard the words. He remembered that Xiang Nan said that today was the day that the Dutchman retired. Anyway, he was full of respect for Basten. After all, he was a great striker. A talented player.

"Go! Practice a thousand shots!" Alexander said sternly, he knew this child, only football, only crazy training can make this child temporarily forget the pain.

"En!" Xiang Nan nodded silently, walked over slowly, and started the boring, stereotyped practice.

Alexander looked at the scrupulous kid practicing shooting not far away, and nodded in relief. This is a serious kid with extreme self-discipline. Such a kid, coupled with the talent bestowed by God, will have a brighter future. What is it like?

Today's training is [-] shots, and then [-] dribbles. Of course, it is a breakthrough to the south, and Alexander defends.

For a long time, Alexander has never treated Xiangnan as a child, and he has used everything in defense. Of course, Alexander will not do such actions as putting a shovel behind his back. As for those small actions, don’t you know , Is this a good trick for Latin American players, especially Brazilian players who play wild football?

"Did you run on time this morning?"

"En!" Xiang Nan nodded.

Alexander also patted Xiangnan on the shoulder in relief.Running three kilometers every morning is a compulsory course for Xiangnan. The difference is that this child tied sandbags to his legs in order to improve his speed.It is said that Xiang Nan learned this method from a Chinese named Shaolin Temple.Alexander didn't care who the Shaolin Temple was. What he was happy about was that this method seemed to be very useful. Xiang Nan's speed was already very fast, but after such training, he became incredibly fast.Therefore, the Brazilian Alexander is quite grateful to this Chinese named Shaolin Temple.

Look at the time, it's almost ten o'clock in the evening, Xiangnan tidy up and prepare to go back.First came to Alexander's room and took a hot bath.

Xiangnan rarely spoke all night, which made Alexander very worried.

"Uncle Alexander, will I become a player like Van Basten?" Walking to the door, Xiang Nan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stopped.

Alexander was taken aback, looking at the confident and stubborn eyes of the child in front of him, and he could even see the tears in the corner of Xiang Nan's eyes. It was obvious that the child cried again when he was taking a bath.

"Yes, why not? My child, as long as you work hard! Yes!" Alexander smiled and patted Xiang Nan on the shoulder.

Xiang Nan nodded seriously.

In the days to come, the residents of the Liege-Walloon region will see a child running wildly, training, and playing football on the large and small green fields in the region every day.

Every day, going to school, training, and playing football have become the main theme of this child's life, and grandma seems to be less restrained about playing football in the south.

Alexander's advice to Xiangnan is, "You are not the only talented player in this world. If you want to succeed, you have to work ten times, a hundred times harder than others!" '

This is the most famous management motto in football later, and it comes from Alexander, who has the honorific title of "Genius Guider".

Primary school, middle school, university, time flies; 12 years have passed, that Chinese boy who is determined to become another Basten, how is it now?
