Starting with Real Madrid

Popular recommendation:

Every time he returns to Tocopia from Kamala, Sanchez feels as if he has returned from a ghetto to a war zone.

The rugged roads with potholes, broken tiles and ruins can be seen everywhere on the roadside, garbage is everywhere, and when the wind blows, sand and plastic bags dance in the air with the wind.

For all this, Sanchez and his compatriots have long been used to it.

Before, every time he came back from Kamara, he would feel a little lost, but today it was even heavier.

Because he finally saw the outside world.

...

His family lives in an old house with mottled exterior walls in Tocopia by the sea. There is a small courtyard in front of it, and there is only a rusted iron gate guarding the courtyard. Standing in front of the house, you can see the blue In the sea, there are fishing boats in the distance. Occasionally, a large ship carrying copper mines will pass by, and the sound of the whistle will attract bursts of cheers.

Once upon a time, Sanchez, like all children, was lying on the road rail by the sea, cheering to the big boat.

Back then, he vowed to take his family out of Tocopia and let them live in a big city like Kamala.

This is his dream since he was a child, and it is also the dream of all who live here.

Until now, he has not realized it.

Even if he is already a member of the Chilean national team.

...

Sanchez's father left home when he was very young to dig in the mines.

But after he went, he never came back, and no one knew his life or death.

Perhaps, like countless others, he was buried alive in that dark mine.

It was not easy for his mother to raise five children by herself, so she found another person, his stepfather, who was not very respectable in Kamala, but envied enough in Tocopia work.

His stepfather brought the family to Kamara, where Sanchez was introduced to football and showed his talent to join Cobrello's academy and become a first-team player.

At the age of 16, he represented Cobrello in the competition, and the second game was the Copa Libertadores, which broke the record of the youngest player ever to appear in the competition.

He performed well in Cobrello and was called into the national team by the national team coach Nelson Acosta.

Yes, he is only eighteen years old, and he has crossed all age groups and entered the national team directly.

Not long ago, the national team started training, left Chile, and went to Europe for a training match. Sanchez was fortunate to be one of them and went to Europe to play two games against Cote d'Ivoire and Sweden.

He was a substitute in the first game, and he played the main force in the latter game.

Those two games, and the half month in Europe, were eye-opening.

On the pitch, he saw Drogba, Cone, Kolo Toure, Yaya Toure, Sedou Keita and Eboue and other Ivorian stars, who are also from poor and backward countries, but Made a lot of money in Europe by playing football and everyone looked happy and laughed.

He was in Sweden, where he met superstars like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Larsen and Ljungberg, all of them from wealthy northern Europe, everyone seemed carefree.

The match against Côte d'Ivoire is held in Nancy, France. It is not a big city, but the roads are very wide, the air is very fresh, even the sky is very blue, the people there are very clean and neatly dressed, and each of them is doing a decent job. Working, driving, drinking coffee...

In the Swedish stadium, he saw those middle- and lower-class people from northern Europe. They are the most decent group of people in Kamara.

This made Sanchez and Chile's internationals feel inferior.

Because the kind of people they dreamed of being, in France, in Sweden, they were all just poor people.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that from entering France, to Sweden and to leaving Europe, they were prohibited from moving privately throughout the whole process. Every time they went out, they were strictly controlled by someone because they were afraid that they would not return with the team after they left secretly.

Captain Jimenez plays in Italy and will tell them a lot of European football stories. He will encourage his teammates to go abroad as much as possible. He will tell them that just this summer, there is a 25-year-old Chinese who leads the world. The top giant Real Madrid, under impossible circumstances, won the double crown of La Liga and the Champions League, which is a miracle!

"He told us with facts that in the football world, nothing is impossible!"

Sanchez always remembers that when the captain said this, his hands were clenched into fists and his teeth were clenched.

He is ashamed of what happened to the national team!

Sanchez remembered the name that created the miracle, Gao Shen!

...

After returning from training in Europe, Sanchez returned to Kamara, and after hearing that his mother could not stay there, he returned to Tocopia, so he had to return to Tocopia.

From the picturesque and clean air of Europe, back to this small town that has been seriously polluted by heavy industries such as copper mines, Sanchez has a great psychological gap. He is always depressed and unable to lift his spirits.

He doesn't know when he will be able to take his family out of this disaster.

Yes, he is the most promising person in the whole family and the hope of the whole family.

"Is the club still unwilling to sign a new contract with you?"

The family sat around the dining table, the mother asked with concern.

"Yeah." Sanchez nodded sullenly.

"Didn't I say before that a European team is interested in you? Is there a chance?" the mother asked again.

Sanchez shook his head, "I don't know, they didn't say it."

They, referring to the management of the Cobrello club.

Although Sanchez is already a Chile international, he still has no right to speak in front of the club, because he and his whole family need this job. Even now, his salary is still quite meager, but compared to his mother, stepfather and uncle. For others, it's already pretty good.

The whole family is now living on his salary. He doesn't dare to make trouble with the club. He can't afford to gamble.

"If you can, go to Europe, there is hope when you go." The stepfather only spoke at this time, and his eyes were red as he spoke.

In fact, he was only about forty, but he was as old as a person in his fifties or sixties.

So is the mother.

This is the price of long-term labor-intensive work.

But there is no way, if they don't do those jobs, they will all starve to death.

"Yeah, we have hope if you go. If we don't go, we will stay here and see no hope." The mother said sobbing.

The son is getting bigger and bigger, and it's hard to go home. They don't want to say this in front of the child, adding so much pressure to him, after all, he is only eighteen years old.

But they really can't do it!

If, like everyone else, Sanchez can't play football, then they will accept their fate.

But he can play football and play well, which gives them hope, and allows them to see an opportunity to escape this devil's fate, and they must seize it firmly.

This is the life of poor children!

It's not just Sanchez, in Chile, there are countless families like this, children like this, who have been indoctrinated with this belief.

"Don't worry, I will work hard!" Sanchez said heavily.

From childhood to adulthood, he has always been a smart and sensible child, matured very early, and has seen the world.

But when he heard his words, his mother couldn't hold back and cried directly on top of him. His stepfather's eyes were also flushed, full of shame.

They were supposed to be the backbone of the family and take good care of the children, but...

...

After dinner, Sanchez walked out of the yard to the side of the road overlooking the blue sea, and his brothers and sisters stood around him, just like when he was a child.

"You know what? In Europe, people don't seem to have to work, the government gives them money every month, they can wear nice clothes, eat delicious food, drive a brand new car, and play football every weekend. Watch the game," Sanchez muttered.

"Is that heaven?" the youngest brother asked innocently.

Sanchez laughed, "Yeah, it's a place like heaven."

With that said, he turned around, scratched his brother's dusty head gently, and asked, "Let's live there in the future, okay?"

"Okay, I have fries and a hamburger every day."

"I want a Coke."

"I'm going to buy a doll."

"I don't want to wear ragged clothes anymore."

Sanchez listened in silence, taking it to heart.

What humble dreams these are, but now, even this humblest dream, he can't help them realize.

Yesterday, when he returned to Cobrello, he was told by the club that Udinese in Serie A was interested in him, but he has not paid for it.

He was afraid to tell his family the news because he was afraid of disappointing them.

In the past period of time, such news has been spread more than once, bringing them hope again and again, but disappointing them again and again, which is cruel.

"Don't worry, I will definitely play harder. I will work hard every game and every training session!"

Sanchez shouted to the sea with all his strength ~www.readwn.com~.

"I want you all to wear nice clothes, buy fun toys, eat the most delicious food, live in the biggest house, and I want you to live in heaven every day!"

"I, must succeed!" Sanchez roared hoarsely.

Before he knew it, he was already in tears.

He has such a determination, but he doesn't know when the opportunity will come.

…………

…………

When Sanchez was roaring at the seaside at the door of Tocopia's house, in Kamala, dozens of kilometers away, an old Jetta that was temporarily rented was rumbling on the westward road.

Sitting in front, Roman Dias, who was in charge of driving, angrily scolded the deceitful fitness quotient.

"This **** bastard, he clearly said that it is comfortable, but he even rented us an old and dilapidated car that was about to fall apart!"

"Haha, don't mind, maybe this is the most comfortable luxury car in their store." Gao Shen was very open.

"Yeah, understand, that's what this kind of place is like." Lucas also laughed.

Roman Dias looked helpless, "It's obvious that a phone call can be done, why do you have to make a trip yourself? Is that kid really as strong as you said?"

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who I have known for ten years, Mimi read! It’s so easy to use, I rely on this reading aloud to pass the time before driving and before going to bed, you can download it here]

"Strong! He will become one of the best players in the world!" Gao Shen said with great certainty.

"Cut! I believe you are a big bastard! Do you really think you are a prophet when you say that?" Roman Dias almost pointed his middle finger.
