The King of Football is a supreme glory.∽↗

For many fans, there are two most uncontroversial football kings, one is Pele and the other is Maradona. As for the controversial ones, there are countless, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, and Eusebio... Of course, even if there is controversy, one thing is undeniable, that is, they are all well-deserved superstars of that era.

Among these controversial football kings, there is a star of the same era as Pele, which is undoubtedly the most regrettable. This is the "bird" Galincha.

This star, known as the "most unprofessional player in professional football history", does not participate in systematic training, does not have agents, drinks, indulges... In the words of his old friend Malvena, he can become a compelling star entirely due to his talent. Even in Malvena's view, Pele became the darling of Brazilians and became the king of football, not because he is better than Galincha, but simply because Pele is more in line with people's moral standards.

Of course, the reason why Galincha is so special is not only because of these, but also because he is different from a "small" from ordinary people. His legs are different from normal people, just like Francis in front of him. No, maybe it should be said that Francis in front of him, his legs are the same as this former Brazilian legend.

God did not give him the same starting point as others, but he gave him a farther end point than others.

This is Galincha.

Francis in front of him had the same starting point as Garincha. Lin Sen dared not make a guess as to where the end point was, but if he believed in his eyes, then Francis in front of him had at least the conditions to run to the same end point.

"I want to meet him alone," Linson said to Bonaire.

"Single?" Bonaire was a little surprised. He was also optimistic about Francis, but he didn't expect that this young man could actually make Linson pay so much attention. "I'll call him. But where is Stam?"

"Stam? It's a very potential defender." Lin Sen said lightly, "but he is also a young man with obvious advantages and disadvantages, and he still needs to be crafted."

"Don't you meet me?" Bornell said.

Linson's evaluation of Stam is not new to Bonaire. Every coach in youth training can easily see the advantages and disadvantages of Stam. In fact, the advantages are no longer needed to be repeated. They are nothing more than excellent physical conditions, fierce style, and outstanding consciousness... and the disadvantages, although they are currently covered up by their advantages, are not so difficult for professional coaches to discover.

For example, if you have a fierce style, it means that you are easy to get a card. This is difficult to see in training matches and even in some low-level matches, because these events are generally very loose. Sometimes the law enforcement matches are not even professional referees at all, just like Bonaire just played a guest referee. But once you reach a formal professional match, how to master this level is one of the main judgments on whether a defender is qualified to sit firmly on the main force. For a young defender, this can only be accumulated slowly by time, which is why many young defenders look excellent but are unable to be entrusted with important tasks and can only sit on the bench and wait for opportunities.

Although Cambridge United is not a Premier League team, it is still a matter of whether they are willing to give Stam this opportunity, because first of all, you have to determine whether Stam is worthy of your price.

As for slow turning, it is a flaw of a central defender. Because slow turning, it means that you are easily beaten by your opponent. For the central defender who is the last line of defense in front of the team goalkeeper, this is a very fatal point. Stam can make up for this with his strong frontal defense, but once he reaches a formal professional game, which defender dares to say that he can definitely defend any offensive player head-on? In this game, Stam has been "teached" by Francis many times. Although it cannot be said to be completely abused, the truth is the same.

"No. I have a chance in the future." In the face of Bonaire's proposal, Lin Sen shook his head and said, "It's the same if you don't see each other now."

"Okay." Bonaire thought for a moment, and felt that too, so he nodded, "I'll call Francis."

Soon, Francis came to Lin Sen with the envious and jealous eyes of the young players.

"Francis?" Looking at the young man who was a little nervous in front of him, Lin Sen pointed to a clean grass next to him and said while signaling him to sit down.

Francis is not a restrained person, and he has a strong sense of self-esteem. The reason why he shows nervousness in front of Lin Sen is because Lin Sen is standing opposite him. Everyone knows the identity of the man in front of him, whether it is his past identity or his current identity.

"My name is Manuel Francisco dos Santos." Francis said his full name persistently, then thought for a while, and said, "But everyone who knows me calls me Francis."

"That's right." Lin Sen laughed and said, "Is this your original name?"

Linson's words stunned Francis, but this simple question silenced Francis.

Lin Sen was not in a hurry, but just looked at Francis' legs intentionally or unintentionally, and then waited for his answer.

"No." After a moment, Francis said, "This is the name my father changed for me."

"Why?" Lin Sen stepped straight into it.

"...I have to answer? Sir." Francis fell silent again, and after a long time, he said, "I don't think this has anything to do with my current situation."

"Of course. Francis." Linson said with a smile, "but this has something to do with my next question."

"What's the problem?" Francis asked subconsciously.

"Your legs." Lin Sen said lightly, "The reason why your legs are like this is probably not born, right?"

Upon hearing this, Francis suddenly raised his head, then looked at Lin Sen with surprise, and then blurted out: "How do you know?"

Yes, how could Lin Sen know? Even his friend Stam had never told him about this. Of course, this is because familiar people are basically unable to investigate this issue due to his "flaws".

"You may not know yet. Before I became a head coach, I used to be a team doctor." Lin Sen said with a smile. "And, it's not that I brag, I'm a pretty good doctor."

"But..." Francis originally wanted to say how Lin Sen knew that he hadn't even checked, but soon he felt that it seemed a bit impolite to say this, so he stopped talking.

"So, do you still want to answer my question just now? Francis?" Seeing that Francis didn't say anything, Linson continued, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you don't want to answer. You can make this my personal curiosity."

Hearing Lin Sen's words, Francis looked at his legs, then looked at Lin Sen, and then suddenly made a decision, and finally said, "Actually, you have just mentioned the reason. As you just said, my legs are not born like this. Before the age of six, I had a pair of legs that are the same as others, but when I was six, I encountered an accident... Well, it was a car accident. Although people are fine,..."

Speaking of this, Francis glanced at his legs again, "That's how the legs became."

Lin Sen nodded slightly. Francis' legs could deceive many people, but they could not deceive his eyes. The natural legs and injured legs are different after all.

"As for my name, although my father did not tell me the reason for the name change, I can actually guess a rough idea. Although I am not very clear about the memory behind it, the scene of the accident is still very clear. So, I think that the accident must have caused great stimulation to me at that time. Most of the reason why my father changed my name was this. Because, in my memory, I first met the name Galincha and watched his videotape from that time."

Francis' voice was a little low. Now, Linson understood why he was unwilling to mention this moment. At the same time, he also raised a little respect for Francis' father. It was an inescapable fault for any parent to let a six-year-old child encounter such a tragedy. However, this father obviously gave the best compensation, because although he could not erase the traces left by the accident on Francis's legs, he smoothed the trauma in Francis' heart.

"Sorry." Lin Sen said.

"No. sir." Francis smiled, "You don't need to say an apology, I don't think it's a shame."

Lin Sen smiled when he heard this, "So, let's talk about the things on the court. Your skills are good, no, it's very good. Have you received systematic training?"

"No." Francis shook his head and smiled bitterly, "In Brazil, there are thousands of children who like football and have soccer talents, and no team is willing to take in me like this."

"So. Did you learn your skills... by watching videos?" Lin Sen was a little shocked.

"Most of them are." Franci nodded, "and most of them were videos of Galincha. Because of that accident, I couldn't stand up for a long time, so watching videos of Galincha was my only fun during that time. When it got better, football became my only fun. At first I suffered a little, but the situation gradually got better."

Francis said this passage lightly, but Lin Sen knew that the little pain in Francis's mouth could never be just a little pain. It is a miracle for a child who encountered such a tragedy to stand up, and he could still go to the football field until now. So, it is not difficult to imagine how much hardship he suffered and how many times he had been rolling his eyes and ridicule in this process.

"Do you know?"

This time, it was Lin Sen's turn to remain silent for a long time, and then he suddenly spoke, "Francis, you are a genius."
