The strongest blade in football

Chapter 1 Wang Nuo's Decision

"Are you sure you want to stay?" Wang Zhongshi saw from the corner of his son's tightly pursed mouth that he was determined to do everything he could.

He tentatively said, "Even if you go back to China, Dad will still support you in playing football. As long as you want, you don't have to take the college entrance examination."

"Dad, I decided to stay."

Wang Nuo looked at his father apologetically, and finally followed his heart and picked up the pen on the table.

He wrote his name neatly on the contract and handed it to the staff in suits across the table.

"Okay, I'm glad you made such a decision. On behalf of the Standard Liege Youth Training Department, I welcome you. Your choice is very wise."

"There is Belgium's top youth training here, I believe you have already experienced it before."

The staff glanced at the contract and smiled meaningfully at Wang Nuo.

He hadn't seen many oriental faces, and the young people in front of him were impressive, so he talked a little more than usual.

"I have seen your trial training. You have great explosive power and breakthrough ability. This is why the coaching staff decided to keep you."

"In Belgium, people like to see young people who are good at holding the ball and good at breaking through. Even if they stick to the ball and make mistakes, they will be tolerated enough."

"You're the type people like."

"However, what I want to remind you is that in the standard Liege U19 echelon, while giving full play to your strengths, you must remember the coach's overall tactics, which are good for you."

"thank you, sir."

Wang Nuo politely reached out and shook hands with the other party.

Farewell to the staff of the Youth Training Department of Standard Liege, Wang Zhongshi let out a long breath.

Now that a two-year contract has been signed, the son must stay.

Wang Zhongshi looked at his son with mixed feelings in his heart.

Because of the company's affairs, he had to go back to China, and he couldn't be with his son, and couldn't fulfill his duties as a father, which made him very uncomfortable.

He was unwilling to change his son's mind, but Wang Zhongshi couldn't help being a little worried about letting his son live abroad alone.

But having said that, even if he returns to China, he is not sure that he can give his son the life he wants.

He has been away from his country for too long.

Wang Zhongshi's ex-wife is Belgian, and his family has lived in Belgium for nine years.

Wang Zhongshi owns a small trading company. His ex-wife is a stage actress. Wang Nuo studied in the Wallonia and Flemish regions of Brussels respectively during middle school. He can speak fluent French and Flemish.

Compared with children of the same age in China, Wang Nuo seems to be much more mature. He was not as quiet as most Chinese children since he was a child.

He loved sports, liked football, had years of formal training, and was favored by several coaches.

Originally, Wang Nuo would continue to play football. If he didn't, he would study with peace of mind and go to a Belgian university.

The days will go on smoothly, but a month ago, something happened at home.

The marriage of Wang Zhongshi and his wife broke down.

Wang Nuo's mother empathized with another, and left without a trace of favor.

In the spring of 2009, Wang Nuo, who had just turned 18, faced a life decision—whether to return to China with his father.

And at this moment, Standard Liege, one of the three biggest clubs in Belgium, took a fancy to Wang Nuo and offered a two-year contract with the intention of cultivating this talented young man.

This is a youth contract. The contract stipulates that Wang Nuo will train and compete with the U19 echelon. Of course, if he performs well, he will have the opportunity to enter the reserve team before and after the winter break.

This is not without precedent before. The contract stated that the subsidy for Wang Nuo is 180 euros per week, and the bonus is not included in it.

In fact, this is already an affirmation of Wang Nuo.

Standard Liege has never been short of self-funded trainees. They train with the reserve team, live and eat in the club, but do not register to play. Last season, the cost of each self-funded trainee was as high as 19000 euros.

Wang Nuo participated in the trial training not long ago, and his outstanding performance impressed the entire coaching staff.

Therefore, Wang Nuo has two choices in front of him, stay in Standard Liege, one of the three major teams in Belgium, to play for U19, or go back to China with his father to study in the third year of high school.

Wang Nuo is both familiar and unfamiliar with his own country.

He came to Belgium with his father when he was in elementary school, and he hasn't been back for many years.

He doesn't know what the country is like now. He only heard that education is much stricter than in Belgium, and it is difficult for students to have enough freedom.

Wang Nuo doesn't like to be restrained, Wang Nuo likes to play football, he will feel very uncomfortable without football.

Chinese football is in a very bad situation. Returning to the motherland means that the road to football will become very difficult. For him who is still in the period of increasing goals, it is not a good choice.

In Belgium, there is a complete youth training system, football fields and the most professional football can be seen everywhere, and people put football in a very high position, just like Wang Nuo.

Wang Nuo wanted to become a professional player since he was a child, and his long-term standardized training and competition have strengthened his confidence.

There are only dozens of professional teams in Belgium, but there are eight league levels. Wang Nuo has been in several echelons of different age groups over the years. Named Most Valuable Player.

Therefore, when Wang Nuo faced these two paths, he signed the contract without any hesitation.

The only thing that makes Wang Nuo feel guilty is that the decision to stay in Belgium at this time is undoubtedly cruel to his father. Wang Zhongshi lost his wife and will lose the company of his son for a short time.

Wang Nuo silently walked behind Wang Zhongshi and gently massaged his father's shoulders.

Wang Zhongshi felt the well-proportioned force from his shoulders, felt his son's massage with his heart, and felt relaxed for a while.

He supports his son playing football, but he is worried that things other than football will interfere with Wang Nuo.

"Promise me."

"Guaranteed what?"

"The path you choose, don't regret it, don't get distracted, and walk like a man."

Wang Zhongshi held his son's wrist with his backhand and pulled Wang Nuo in front of him.

Looking at the serious expression of his tall and big son, he suddenly felt soft again, "If you regret it, tell me immediately, and I will take you back to China to develop."

Wang Nuo saw the worry in his father's eyes, and saw the changes in his father after losing his mother. Wang Zhongshi in the past was not so emotional, and was always strict and tough.

"I will take care of myself."

One morning a week later, when Wang Nuo got up from the bed, he saw a bank card on the table in the living room.

There is a piece of paper under it, which says - half a year's living expenses, save some money.

At this time, Wang Zhongshi's flight was already flying at an altitude of [-] meters.

Just left.

Wang Nuo has always been independent, and he has long been prepared in his heart.

After collecting the bank card and washing up, Wang Nuo made a salad mixed with green beans, ate half a banana and a few pieces of scallop meat, put on his running shoes, and went out for a morning jog along the path.

Liege is not a tourist city, so it looks deserted compared to Bruges and Brussels.

Especially in the morning, the city is empty, and there are only some people who are also jogging and walking along the Maas River.

As usual, Wang Nuo started with a 5-point speed, accelerated 5 seconds per kilometer, and finally ran 4 kilometers at a speed of 15 minutes and 10 minutes.

Sweat ran down Wang Nuo's cheeks, and when he rubbed it with his hands, he could touch some fine grains of salt.

Wang Nuo liked the feeling of being unobstructed. He looked at a sculpture in the distance, which was a person standing upside down and about to jump into the river.

At this time, the sun jumped out from behind the sculpture, and the whole sculpture was shrouded in a halo, full of holiness and vitality.

Summer is here, and I will report to the team in two days. Since I stayed in Belgium and chose to realize my football dream, I must put in 100% effort.

The first step is to become a professional player!
Wang Nuo clenched his fist and waved it violently towards the rising sun in the distance.
