The Cruelty of Professional Football

  Three full days.

  Su Bai was like a robot, training-eating-training-sleeping on a routine basis!

  His life was boring as hell.

  Even Ben. Cash shouted for Su Bai to go out for a drink, Su Bai politely declined.

  Right now, all he could think about was how he could practice his ball control attribute as soon as possible.

  And it's not just these, offensive awareness, speed, these are all attributes that must be improved. Penjing

  Anyway!

  For the current Su Bai, other than training, he didn't have any mind to think about anything else!

  Friday morning!

  As usual, Su Bai woke up early and started training at five o'clock.

  However, since Ben. Keshi inadvertently learned through the mouth of the assistant coach that Su Bai was actually so hardworking, he also joined the ranks of training with Su Bai.

  Let Ben. Keshi a little strange is that this guy Su Bai these days, every day is practicing the most basic things without any trouble.

  Even the ball-bumping ones, he spends time practicing.

  This makes Ben. Keshi is also a little unclear, these can be his childhood play ah, but, although he and Su Bai is a roommate, but the home in the city of Gelsenkirchen, he is basically never lived.

  So, to be honest, he wasn't familiar with Su Bai either.

  Although he also woke up a lot earlier because of Su Bai, the two of them didn't cross paths at all on the training ground.

  It's all about practicing each.

  Points!

  Su Bai and his teammates stood quietly on the training ground waiting for Daniel to arrive.

  It's a very special day for this season.

  Saturday is the first Bundesliga game.

  And today, the head coach will establish tomorrow's starters in a group scrimmage.

  When the time came, the two men, Daniel and Wycliffe, walked into the training ground right on time.

  The team guessed well.

  Wycliffe was holding a black notebook.

  And that notebook, in turn, will determine the 18-man roster for tomorrow's game.

  You know, Schalke 04 u18 is a full 32 people.

  That list, pretty much, is the final list of guys who will make it into the rotation this season.

  If not in this list.

  Then sadly, this season, Schalke 04 doesn't need you and you can make your own way.

  Especially for guys who only have an apprenticeship contract.

  Everyone eyed the notebook in Wycliffe's hand.

  Many people, even trembled a little.

  They don't want to just leave in the dust.

  "Tomorrow afternoon is our league opener!"

  "Last season, we were fourth in the league!"

  "The results are not bad, but our team's main striker and front man have also left, and they are now playing in the Bundesliga!"

  "As long as you can play, even if we don't have a place for you at Schalke, then Schalke will absolutely send you to the right team for you!"

  "Even if you're not on the big list, don't be discouraged!"

  "As long as you can still work hard, the future is definitely bright!"

  Daniel spoke with a crown.

  However, none of the people listening really took his words seriously.

  What is professional soccer?

  Where is the bright future that comes with hard work.

  That's all a lie to fools.

  Without talent, you're just going to roll with the punches even if you practice until you die you're just going to roll with the punches.

  After an impassioned speech, Daniel also turned to the sidelines.

  It's not his responsibility as a head coach to go through and read the guys' names one by one.

  With Daniel's departure!

  Wycliffe, too, opened his laptop and stood forward.

  Staff pushed carts filled with yellow vests to stand beside him.

  Wycliffe looked up at the crowd and then began to read the names in his notebook!

  "Bobby. Edgar!"

  A tall man of five-foot-nine stood up with an expressionless face and took the yellow vest.

  As last season's starting goalkeeper, Bobby . Edgar has worried about his starting position from the beginning!

  "Esther. Scott!" The team's starting center back!

  "Webster Jefferies. Jefferies" is also the team's starting center back!

  "Morton Jim. Jim," the starting left guard!

  "Sydney Parker. Parker." Starting right back!

  "Lloyd Angelo. "Lloyd Angelo" is the main back!

  "Hardy Hunt. "Hunt", left wingback!

  "Wheeler. "Angelo" right winger!

  "Ben. "Ben Cash.

  "Helim O'Shea". O'Shea," also in the front!

  Forward Whit. Benedick!

  The eleven starting lineups were read!

  The person whose name was read stood on the opposite side of the line!

  Thirty-two men, now only twenty-one remain!

  Now is the cruelest moment.

  Of those twenty-one, only seven will make the grand list, and of the rest, you can stay or go!

  With a bit of luck, maybe one of those eighteen will get injured or be in bad shape to fill in for one.

  But you'll have to wait!

  Wycliffe held up his glasses.

  Looking up at the rest of the team across the room.

  It was a scene he had seen too many times.

  Nothing to be sorry about.

  "Smedley. Lev!"

  At the sound of the name, Smedley. Lev clenched his fists hard.

  The flush on his face could tell how excited he was at this moment.

  As a goalkeeper, being on the roster proves that at the very least, this season, he has a chance to play for Schalke 04!

  Unlike him, the other goalkeeper, Hancock, was bowing his head in disappointment.

  Already twenty years old, he tries hard, but his six-foot-five height makes him lose the goalkeeper's duel.

  Unlike other positions, as a goalkeeper, it's hard to make an appearance even as a second goalkeeper, let alone if he becomes the third.

  ....

  After that, one name was read.

  Some are elated, some are sad!

  After the sixth name was read.

  The remaining fifteen were waiting with baited breath for the last name.

  Wycliffe also stopped like a sellout at this point.

  Raising his head, he deliberately looked at Su Bai, who was standing behind the group.

  I wonder if this will be, if that Yan Guo kid will be nervous as well.

  But disappointingly, at this moment, the Yan Guo kid, with his indifferent face, made Wickliffe also shake his head helplessly!

  It seems like people with talent are always so confident.

  "Su Bai!"

  Wycliffe also stopped dawdling and directly read out Su Bai's name!

  The moment!

  A lot of people in the arena were also a bit surprised.

  Although this guy Su Bai's talent can be, but he only came to the team less than five days ah, you actually let a less than five days of people directly into the roster?

  It's hard to believe that this guy is going straight up?

  Those who weren't chosen began to twitter.

  Only this kind of gibberish does absolutely nothing.

  After the names were read, Daniel came back up as well!

  "That's the big list for the first game, so if anyone wants to leave, they can check in right away, registration for the Bundesliga is still open!"

  "Maybe on another team you can find an opportunity!"

  "As long as you're in touch, you'll be fully released on the club's side, in accordance with your contract!"

  That's an ultimatum!

  The moment!

  As long as you leave the team, then you still have a chance to find an opportunity with some fish out of water Bundesliga team.

  If you don't leave, then you're going to have to sit out the season honestly, even if you're sitting on the bench.

  The rest of them, one by one, looked at each other.

  Eventually, two people stepped forward.

  Daniel didn't say anything, smiled and shook his hand goodbye, then left it at that.

  Su Bai looked at the people who were teammates a second ago, and at this moment, they picked up their backpacks and left.
