Chapter 59 The Road to Thorns

"You really have to become stronger faster?" Unexpectedly, Ye Saining did not shake his head and refuse this time, or said nonsense that "You can become stronger if you just keep going like this."

However, his sudden rhetoric question did not surprise Chen Yingxiong. He said, "Nonsense! Didn't you see how I looked at Luzhniki Stadium?"

"But in this way you need to put in more sweat and effort, and your body will have to bear more pressure. And... Maybe you may be injured, physically collapsed, completely withdraw from professional football, and unable to continue playing football... Even so, are you willing?"

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

"No, it's not an exaggeration at all. If you want to succeed, you have to pay a price that ordinary people can't imagine. I think it's already very polite to not take your life. Do you know that a guy named Guo Nu gave his protagonist the punishment of not succeeding and dying?"

Chen Yingxiong didn't know what Guo was angry, so he shook his head.

"So, if you want to succeed, to become a real hero, and to defeat those who laugh at you, you have to... pay these prices, risk being seriously injured, possibly physically collapsed, and completely withdrawing from professional football and not being able to continue playing football. Do you think heroes are so easy to be? Just a few talents can you be a majestic on the court, sweep your opponents, and slap the media?"

Every time Ye Saining said something, he would take a step forward. When he finally walked to Chen Yingxiong, Chen Yingxiong actually found that Ye Saining seemed to be as tall as he was, and the temperament he exuded was different from before...

Is it an illusion?

"Do you feel it's exaggerated to be injured, physically collapsed, and quit professional football early? Then look back, those people, those seniors, what they have experienced... look back."

Ye Saining pointed behind Chen Yingxiong.

Chen Yingxiong really looked back... and then he was startled!

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

In front of him, two groups of players were fighting fiercely, one was wearing Lazio's sky blue jersey, and the other was wearing Inter Milan's blue and black sword shirt. In front of the goal, a No. 9 player wearing Inter Milan's blue and black sword shirt was doing a pendulum-like fake move. At this moment, he suddenly lost all his motivation, fell to the ground in depressed manner, and then howled in pain with his knees.

The Meacha Stadium suddenly lost all the noise and fell into a deadly silence.

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

The commentator's voice gradually became smaller until it disappeared, and the picture changed as well.

A player wearing a blue and white Brescia jersey stood on the sidelines, raised his hands to say goodbye to the fans of the court, and the fans in the stands made a huge call.

"Robert Baggio finally retired... Actually, as early as 1984, I thought he was going to retire. He dragged a leg and persisted for twenty years. It is really admirable to be able to get to this point. In a game between Vicenza and Rimini on May 3, 1984, he was injured, had a meniscus on his right knee and a cruciate ligament torn. His wound was stitched in the wound for that operation..."

The sound faded out again and the picture gradually changed.

At a crowded press conference, the cool man wearing a casual T-shirt spread his hands: "In a very simple sentence, I decided to say goodbye to football..."

Suddenly, the flashing light appeared, and the man's eyes seemed to be flashing in the white light...

Ye Shengning's voice sounded behind Chen Yingxiong: "Ronaldo, Robert Baggio, Van Basten, Michael Irving, Sebastian Deisler... How many players have affected their careers due to injuries? How many players have decided to leave the Green Field early because of injuries? They are all talented, but they have to bid farewell to the football world because of injuries, or they cannot reach the level they should have reached in their entire lives. Is this an exaggeration? No, this is what happens every day in the world football world, but you can see the experiences of those famous stars. Who will do the unknown people like ants to leave?"

"When Pele played football, his rough defensive style was rampant. He was repeatedly knocked to the ground by his opponents. Due to injuries, he even missed the two World Cups in 1962 and 1966 due to injuries. But he was the king of football, and the number he chose became the number pursued by countless players now. When Maradona was playing football in Barcelona, ​​he was tackled by Goicoccia of Athletic Bilbao. This serious injury later led him to leave Barcelona and transfer to Naples. But he founded his own dynasty in Naples, and he became the king of football that was as famous as Pele in football history."

"Some people have not stood the test, some have stood the test. This is football, hero. If you want to be the hero you call a hero, you have to withstand this test. So, that cost is actually normal."

"If you choose to take this path, it doesn't mean you will be able to succeed, because there are still many tests along the way. This is not a comfortable and pleasant journey, it is a road full of traps, thorns, dangers, and various forks. In fact, if you don't choose this path, just like you work hard now, you can become a world-class star, slowly upgrade, step by step, and the danger is much less..."

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

"So you chose to take this dangerous path?"

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

Ye Shengning smiled: "No."

"Then it's over, tell me how to do it."

Ye Shengning 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 was full of his teammates...

"This is..." Chen Yingxiong was stunned. Has he traveled through time?

"Train, hero! If you want to improve yourself and improve yourself faster, you need to spend more time on more intense training." Ye Shengning's voice sounded. He looked around and found that Ye Shengning was standing behind him.

"What's going on?"

"Simply put, a training copy. You will get more training opportunities here, and... it is training meaningfully against each other, rather than the kind of training where you are shooting with a football. Everything you consume here will have perfect feedback in reality. Now it is..." Ye Shengning looked at the watch. "At 3:00 pm, when you finish training for two hours, after you exit, you will find that the time for reality is also at 5:00 pm. You consume your physical strength in training, and you will also find that you are exhausted. Similarly, you are injured in training..."

"I will also be injured in reality?" Chen Yingxiong asked.

"That's right. Since you can improve your training here, there is no reason only the benefits will make you get, but the disadvantages will be gone? So you can improve here and you can get hurt here."

Chen Yingxiong was listening to Ye Saining's explanation to him when he heard the assistant coach Porter yell: "What are you rushing around? Chen Yingxiong! Come here to 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 felt that his legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead. And not only his legs, two arms, two shoulders, and his whole body... were very heavy!

"Do you think it's enough to just let you practice for a few more hours? You're training now!"

"Damn..." Chen Yingxiong shouted. "Isn't it too cruel?"

"Men, you have to be more ruthless to yourself." Ye Shengning said.

"Your sister! You are right to me!"

"What I mean is that you should be more cruel to yourself." Ye Shengning waved: "Go, be careful that the assistant coach will cause trouble for you. Your interpersonal relationships in reality will be perfectly reproduced here. In addition, you can quit at any time, just say it to me. I'm here." Ye Shengning pointed to the place under his feet.

Chen Yingxiong glared at Ye Saining, took heavy steps and ran to the training ground.

Just after running onto the training ground, he felt that his breath had begun to be uneven... The weight was not light.

If he wants to complete the training under such circumstances, even some daily training will be enough to make him feel difficult, let alone... In fact, all the training here is designed for Chen Yingxiong.

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

When the football was passed, he didn't even swing his legs, and the football was stabbed away... because his legs were so heavy.

"What are you doing? Hero? You're moving too slowly!" Potter's roar sounded.

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

But he found that Porter had no response to his words at all, and just said to himself: "Concentrate! When you see the football pass, you have to judge the landing point in advance and then react quickly! This is in the penalty area, you don't have so much time to adjust, don't be slow!"

Chen Yingxiong thought, it seems that these characters are just program settings after all, and it is impossible to respond to all his actions... But it is good, so it will avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. Just train with peace of mind.

During the entire training, Potter kept roaring at him. Fortunately, Denisov, Anyukov, Kerzakov and others could comfort him, otherwise they would be so depressed.

Everything here is exactly the same as outside. Chen Yingxiong even felt that Ye Saining copied the real training outside and moved it directly into this virtual space. It felt not very real, but... this is real!

Chen Yingxiong only persisted for half an hour and was completely exhausted. Although he did not say he could withdraw, Ye Saining decisively terminated the training.

In a blink of an eye, Chen Yingxiong found himself lying on the training ground before he entered the dungeon. Apart from Ye Saining, he was empty. There were no teammates and the assistant coach Porter who always roared...

He did feel exhausted and had no strength to even speak.

Ye Saining squatted down.

"How is it like the first experience?" he asked.

Chen Yingxiong opened his mouth, but no sound came out. Then Ye Saining focused on his slightly raised right hand.
Chapter completed!
