Chapter 59 The Path of Thorns

"Really want to become stronger faster?" I didn't expect that Ye Saining didn't shook his head this time to refuse, or said some nonsense that "you can become stronger just like this".

However, his sudden rhetoric did not surprise Chen Yingxiong. He said: "Nonsense! Didn't you see me at the Luzhniki Stadium?"

"But this way you need to put in more sweat and effort, your body has to bear more pressure. And... Maybe you may be injured in the process, your body will collapse, you will completely withdraw from professional football, and you will not be able to continue playing. ...Even so, are you willing?"

Hero Chen was stunned for a moment: "So exaggerated?"

"No, it's not an exaggeration at all. To succeed, you have to pay a price that ordinary people can't imagine. I think it's very polite to not kill you. You know that a guy named Guo Nu set his protagonist not to Is it a death penalty for success?"

Where did Chen Yingxiong know what Guo was angry about, he shook his head.

"So, if you want to succeed, if you want to be a true hero, if you want to defeat those who laugh at you, you have to...pay these prices, risking serious injuries, risking physical breakdown, risking complete Withdraw from professional football and risk being unable to continue playing. Go forward. Do you think heroes are so good? With a few talents, you can be majestic on the court, sweep your opponents, and slap the media?"

Every time Yesenin said something, he took a step forward. When he finally walked in front of Chen Yingxiong, Chen Yingxiong unexpectedly found that Ye Saining seemed to be as tall as himself, and the temperament exuding from his body was different from before...

Is it an illusion?

"Do you think injuries, physical breakdowns, and early withdrawal from professional football are exaggerated? Then you look back, those people, those of your predecessors, what they have experienced... You look back."

Yesening pointed behind Chen Yingxiong.

Hero Chen really looked back... and then he was taken aback!

Behind him, the stadium that was supposed to be empty, suddenly became a stadium with stands, fans and players playing... He could hear the loud noise, even the voice of the commentator... …

In front of him, there are two groups of players fighting fiercely, one is wearing Lazio's sky blue jersey and the other is wearing Inter Milan's blue and black sword striped shirt. In front of the goal, a No. 9 player wearing Inter Milan's blue and black sword striped shirt was doing a pendulum-like feint. At this moment, he suddenly lost all his motivation, fell to the ground, and then hugged his knees in pain. Howled.

The Meazza Stadium suddenly lost all the noise and fell into deathly silence.

"Oh! Oh! Oh... God! Ronaldo! Ronaldo is injured! This is his comeback game four months after the injury, but he... fell again! Look at his painful expression... his The career is over..."

The voice of the narrator gradually became smaller, until all disappeared, and the picture changed.

A player wearing a blue and white Brescia jersey stood on the sidelines, raising his hands to bid farewell to the fans, and the fans made a huge call in the stands.

"Robert Baggio has finally retired... Actually as early as 1984, I thought he was going to retire. He dragged a wounded leg for twenty years. It is really admirable that he can reach this point. On May 3, 1984, during a match between Vicenza and Rimini, he was shoveled and tore the meniscus and anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee. During that operation, his wound was stitched with two hundred and twenty stitches. ..."

The sound faded out again, and the picture gradually changed.

At a vocal press conference, the handsome man in a horizontal striped casual T-shirt opened his hands: "In a very simple sentence, I decided to bid farewell to football..."

Suddenly the flash shot, and the corner of this man's eyes seemed to flicker in a white light...

Yesenin’s voice sounded behind Chen Yingxiong: "Ronaldo, Robert Baggio, Van Basten, Michael Owen, Sebastian Dessler... How many players have affected their lives due to injuries? Professional career? How many players decided to leave the green field early because of injuries? They are all talented, but because of injuries, they had to say goodbye to football, or they could not reach the realm they should have reached in their entire life. Is this an exaggeration? No, this is something that happens every day in the world of football, but you can see the encounters of famous players, those unknown players like ants, who will affect their departure?"

"When Pele played, his rough defensive style was rampant. He was repeatedly knocked to the ground by his opponents. Because of injuries, he even missed the 1962 and 1966 World Cups due to injuries. But he is the king of the game, he chose. The number has become the number pursued by countless players now. When Maradona was playing in Barcelona, ​​he was tackled by Athletic Bilbao’s Goicochea. This serious injury later caused him to leave Barcelona and transfer to Barcelona. Naples. But he created his own dynasty in Naples, and he became the same as Pele in football history."

"Some people have not withstood the test, some people have withstood the test. This is football, a hero. If you want to be the one-in-one hero you say, you have to withstand such a test. So, that price is actually very high. normal."

"If you choose to follow this path, it does not mean that you will be able to succeed, because there are many, many tests on this road. This is not a comfortable and pleasant journey. It is a journey full of traps, thorns, dangers, and various Kind of a fork in the road. In fact, if you don’t choose this road, you can become a world-class star by working hard as you do now, gradually upgrading, step by step, and the risk is much less..."

Chen Yingxiong suddenly interrupted Ye Saining's words: "Who wants to be world-class? I want to be the strongest in the world!"

"So you chose to take this dangerous road?"

Chen Yingxiong spread his hands: "Is there any other way to choose?"

Yesenin smiled: "No."

"Then it's over. Tell me what to do."

Yesenin snapped his fingers.

Chen Yingxiong discovered that the environment he was in had changed. The training ground was still a training ground, but the training ground was no longer empty, but full of his teammates...

"This is..." Chen Yingxiong was stunned. Has he crossed?

"Train, hero! If you want to improve yourself, and improve yourself faster, you need to spend more time for more intense training." Yesenin's voice rang, he looked around and found that Yesenin was standing there. Behind him.

"How is this going?"

"Simply speaking, a training copy. You will get more training opportunities here, and... there is a meaningful training against confrontation, not the kind of training that one person holds a football to shoot. What you consume here Everything will be perfectly fed back in reality. Now it is..." Ye Sening looked at his watch. "At three o'clock in the afternoon, when you finish training for two hours, you will find that the realistic time has reached five o'clock in the afternoon after you quit. You have consumed your energy during training, and you will find yourself exhausted when you quit training. The same goes for , You got injured in training..."

"In reality, I will also get hurt?" Chen Yingxiong asked.

"That's the case. Since you can improve here, there is no reason that you can only get the benefits, and there are no disadvantages? So you can both improve here and get hurt here."

Yingxiong Chen was listening to Ye Saining to give him an explanation, and he heard assistant coach Potter yelling: "What are you rubbing against? Yingxiong Chen! Come and train!"

Chen Yingxiong turned around and was about to run, but as soon as he took a step, he staggered... almost fell to the ground!

"What's going on?" Chen Yingxiong only felt that his legs were as heavy as lead-filled. And not just two legs, two arms, two shoulders, the whole body... is very heavy!

"Do you think it's just a matter of just letting you practice for a few more hours? You are now training with weights!"

"I rely on..." Chen Yingxiong shouted. "Too ruthless?"

"Men, you have to be cruel to yourself." Ye Sening said.

"Your sister! You are cruel to me!"

"I mean you have to be cruel to yourself." Ye Sening waved his hand: "Go, and then be careful that the assistant coach makes trouble for you. Your interpersonal relationship in reality will also be perfectly reproduced here. In addition. , You can quit anytime you want, as long as you tell me. I'm here." Yesenin pointed to the place under his feet.

Chen Yingxiong glared at Ye Saining, and ran to the training ground with a heavy step.

Just running on the training ground, he felt that he had begun to breathe unevenly...this load is not light.

To complete the training under such circumstances, even some daily training is enough to make him feel exhausted, let alone... In fact, the training here is all designed for Chen Yingxiong.

All you have to do today is the ability to shoot in a confrontation.

When the football was passed, he didn't even open his leg, and the football was stabbed away...because the leg was too heavy.

"What are you doing? Hero? Your movements are too slow!" Potter roared.

"You can't blame me for this, it's because...I'm carrying a heavy load!" Chen Yingxiong wanted to defend himself.

But he found that Potter did not respond to his words at all, and he just said to himself: "Focus! When you see the football coming, you have to judge the target in advance, and then react quickly! This is in Forbidden zone, you don't have so much time to adjust, don't be slow!"

Chen Yingxiong thought to himself, it seems that these characters are only programmed after all, and it is impossible to respond to all his actions...but it is also good, it avoids a lot of unnecessary trouble. Just train yourself with peace of mind.

Throughout the training process, Potter kept barking at him. Fortunately, Denisov, Anyukov, and Krzakov could comfort him, otherwise he would be really depressed to death.

Everything here is exactly the same as outside. Chen Yingxiong even thinks that Ye Sening just copied the real training outside and moved directly into this virtual space. It doesn't feel very real, but...this is real!

Chen Yingxiong only persisted for half an hour and was completely exhausted. Although he died and did not say to quit, Yesenin decisively terminated the training.

In a blink of an eye, Chen Yingxiong found himself lying on the training ground before he entered the dungeon. All around him was empty except for Yesenin. Where are my teammates and the assistant coach Potter who is always roaring...

He did feel exhausted, and he didn't even have the energy to speak.

Yesenin squatted down.

"How does the first experience feel?" he asked.

Chen Yingxiong opened his mouth, but there was no sound. Then Yesenin focused his attention on his slightly raised right hand.

The four fingers curled up slowly, leaving only one middle finger.
