Almighty Coach

The day after the Triathlon World Championships ended, Li Daicai saw the final result of the competition on the news.

"Brown Brothers only won second or third place." Dai Li looked at the photo with the picture on the news, and Thiel helped Hansen cross the finish line together, feeling a little moved in his heart.

"Brother gave up the championship for the sake of my younger brother. I hope that after going through this competition, the barrier between them will be eliminated." Dai Li closed the webpage, stood up, and then he was going to meet a The guest from Spain is Fernando, the head of the sports department of the La Liga football giant and FC Barcelona.

"Coach Li, we meet again." Fernando spoke pure American English. Those who don't know may think that he is a native American.

When Li Dai visited the Barcelona club, he met Fernando. At that time, it was Fernando who promised that if Halles could grow taller, Barcelona would give Halles a chance. Today's Fernando is also here for this.

A few minutes later, Fernando saw Howles. At this time, Halls has grown a head taller than a year ago.

"Compared to when you came to Barcelona last year, this child has indeed grown a lot taller." Fernando nodded in satisfaction.

"Mr. Fernando, let's use data to speak." Dai Li stretched out his hand and pointed to the ruler on the wall for measuring height.

Halls walked over immediately.

"Wait a minute!" Dai Li called to Howers, and then said, "Take off your shoes."

Howers nodded, followed Dai Li's instructions, took off his shoes, and then occupied the wall.

A staff member immediately stepped forward to measure Howers' height.

"168 centimeters!" The surveyor reported the measured figure, and at the same time stepped aside, allowing Fernando to confirm the result with his own eyes.

"Bare feet measure 168 centimeters. If you wear shoes, you can reach at least 170 centimeters. Although you can't be a high center forward who can head the ball to grab points with this height, it is enough to be a winger who can penetrate and break through." Fernando He nodded with satisfaction. In his opinion, Howers' height has reached the minimum standard for becoming a professional football player.

With a height of 168 cm, he is naturally a short man on the football field, but there are also many players in football who are less than 170 cm tall, and there are many well-known "side killers" among them. Although they are not tall, they have flexible footwork, delicate techniques, and fast speed, which can easily pose a threat to the opponent's goal.

The current technical characteristics of Halls are obviously in line with the image of the "side killer".

Dai Li next to him continued: "If Howles continues to train with me, he should be able to grow taller, maybe he can grow to 175 centimeters, but it will take time, maybe a year or two But during this period, he may not get professional football training. I am not a professional football coach, and I cannot provide professional football training here. I think football training should be handed over to football clubs like yours. Giving him to you will not waste his talent in football."

"Coach Li, you are really well-intentioned." Fernando bowed in compliment, and then said: "I am very satisfied with Halles' current state, and I believe he will have a bright future after joining Barcelona. .”

...

Argentina is not having a good time recently. The Argentine peso has depreciated by 10% in just a few days, and it is about to trigger a new round of economic crisis.

But the people of Argentina have long been used to these. Since the middle of the last century, the struggle between Peronism and anti-Peronism has caused this country to fall from a developed country to a developing country, and then the crisis of foreign capital withdrawal, export collapse, and a large number of corporate bankruptcy triggered by neoliberalism, It is constantly consuming the vitality of this country. The astronomical debt default has made Argentines feel like there are too many lice, and the whole country is full of broken windows effect.

No matter how bad the economy is, it can't stop the enthusiasm of Argentines for football. Every weekend, when Argentina's domestic football league starts, people still gather to watch football matches.

In a dilapidated tavern, more than 20 people gathered in front of the old-fashioned picture tube TV that had been working for more than ten years. They drank the cheapest beer and stared at the screen that had chromatic aberration.

Old Forast is one of them. As a football coach, he naturally loves football very much. Although raising four children will put him under great financial pressure, he will still come to This bistro, drink two bottles of beer, enjoy this moment of happiness.

The cell phone rang, and the displeased expression suddenly appeared on Forast's face. He was interrupted while watching the game, which really made him feel a little bad.

But Forrest still picked up the phone. After a few seconds, his face changed drastically, and then he screamed crazily.

Everyone in the tavern was delusional about Forlast, and it is not a very strange thing to scream here. Whenever there is a goal, the tavern will always boil, but there is no progress now. For the ball, Forlast's screams are even more unusual.

"Hey, buddy, what's the matter with you?" a man next to him asked.

"My son Howles, Barcelona has decided to give him a contract!" Forlast yelled excitedly.

The people next to him immediately surrounded him.

"What did you say? Barcelona? The Barcelona in Spain?"

"Is it La Liga's giant club Barcelona? Is your son there?"

"What's your son's name? Is he a player?"

All kinds of problems hit in an instant.

"Of course, my son is of course a player, and he will soon become a professional player, playing in La Liga and Barcelona!" Forrest replied somewhat incoherently.

"Hey, Forrest, I think you are out of your mind, right? I remember that your son suffers from dwarfism, and he can grow up to 1.5 meters at most. It is impossible for him to become a professional player." Someone said from the side .

"My son has grown to 170 centimeters!" Forast said.

"170 centimeters? How is this possible? How can dwarfism grow to 170 centimeters?" The man obviously had a look of disbelief.

"Believe it or not, just wait and see. It will definitely be reported on the news in two days." Forast said and stood up. He was no longer in the mood to watch the game, so he decided to go back immediately. Home, share this good news with your family.

...

The Argentinian media really reported the incident.

Although Argentina has many football talents, it is definitely a big event to be able to play in La Liga, not to mention the giants Barcelona. Even if you just enter Barcelona's youth training system, you will be noticed by the sports media throughout Argentina.

River Plate, team experience Aguero looked incredible when he saw the familiar name appearing in the newspaper headline.

"How could that Halles be chosen by Barcelona? Isn't he suffering from dwarfism? He can't become a professional player. How could Barcelona choose him?"

Aguero couldn't help but carefully read the content of the report word by word.

"It was said in the newspaper that Hals' height is 1.7 meters. How is this possible? He has dwarfism and it is impossible for him to grow to 1.7 meters." Aguero said to himself.

However, there is a picture in the newspaper, which is the scene of Halls wearing Barcelona's training uniform and training on the court. Judging from the photo, although he is shorter than other players, he is definitely not a dwarf.

In the next second, Aguero suddenly remembered Hals' terrifying football talent.

"It's a big loss! If I had known that he could grow to 1.7 meters, I would definitely sign him. With his talent, he could at least get a transfer fee of 10 million euros from European teams!" Aguero Immediately, he showed a remorseful expression.

...

Real Madrid Club, in the conference room, the intelligence chief is holding a document and reporting to the team's management.

"In yesterday's U15 practice match, Barcelona's U15 youth team defeated Valencia's U15 youth team with a score of 7 to 1." The intelligence director said and raised his eyes.

"7 to 1? The point difference is so big? This is completely a one-sided rhythm, right? As far as I know, the strength of Valencia's youth academy is not weak. Even in practice matches, they will not lose so much to Barcelona. Right? This is a bit too embarrassing." Someone next to him immediately questioned.

"Indeed, this score is unusual. Young players at the U15 level have already mastered defensive skills and some complex tactical coordination. How could there be such a big difference in points? Did something unusual happen during the game? Something different?" asked another.

"Yes, Barcelona's seven goals are all related to a player. His name is Howles Forlast, he is Argentine, and he has just been selected by Barcelona. In this practice match, Howles Forlast Last scored four goals, two of which were penalties, both of which were of his own making, and a direct goal from a free kick. He also provided three assists for his teammates." The intelligence official said. Said.

"You repeat that person's name again." Sports Manager Henry said suddenly.

"Halls-Forast." The intelligence officer turned his head to look at Henry, and then asked, "Mr. Henry, do you know this player?"

"Could it be him?" Henry immediately shook his head: "Impossible, I do know a kid named Howles, he is indeed Argentine, but he suffers from dwarfism, it is impossible for him to become a professional player."

"Then they should have the same name." The intelligence officer said.

"Do you have a picture of the Argentine?" Henry asked.

"Yes." The intelligence officer pulled out a piece of paper from the file folder, handed it to Henry, and said at the same time, "The third in the first row is Halls-Forast."

Henry took the paper and looked down, his expression changed drastically.

"It's him, that Halles I know. How is this possible? He suffers from dwarfism, how can he play football?" Henry screamed, completely losing his composure.

"Mr. Henry, what's going on?" Someone immediately asked next to him.

"This Halls visited our club a year ago. I noticed him at that time. His talent is very good. He can be said to be a football genius. But he suffers from dwarfism and it is impossible to become a professional player. Yes, so I didn't try to keep him." Henry said.

"The information I have collected here shows that Halls is 1.7 meters tall. Obviously, his height has reached the standard of a professional player, and he can at least become a breakthrough winger." The intelligence officer paused. After a pause, he continued: "Mr. Henry, I think you may have been deceived. He may be at least shorter in stature, or a little later in development, rather than dwarfism."

"No, probably not. Coach Li probably won't lie to me. After all, he is Lawrence's best coach, and he has no direct relationship with our Real Madrid. He can't lie about such things." Henry said here , The voice stopped abruptly, and he remembered that when he met Dai Li a year ago, Li Dai had said at that time that Halles was following Dai Li for heightening training.

"Could it be that Coach Li? He really did it! My God, let a dwarf grow to 1.7 meters through physical training!"
