Brutal Professional Football

  For three whole days.

  Su was like a robot, going through the routine of train-eat-train-sleep!

  His life was boring to the extreme.

  Even when Ben Cash called out for Su to go out for a drink, Su politely declined.

  Right now, all he could think about was how he could practice his ball handling attributes as quickly as possible.

  And, not just these, offensive awareness, speed, these were all attributes that had to be improved.

  In short!

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

  Friday morning!

  Su still woke up early as usual to start training at five o'clock.

  However, ever since Ben Cash inadvertently learned from the assistant coach that Su was actually working so hard, he also joined in the training with Su.

  What made Ben Cash a bit strange was that Su was practicing the most basic things every day.

  He even spent time practicing the ball-surfing.

  This made Ben Cash a bit confused, these were all the things he used to play when he was a kid. However, although he and Su were roommates, he basically never lived in Gelsenkirchen.

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

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

  It was all about practicing each.

  8.30am!

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

  It was a very special day for this season.

  Saturday was the first game of The 3. Liga league.

  And today, the head coach would establish tomorrow's starters in a group confrontation.

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

  The players guessed well.

  Wycliffe was holding a black notebook.

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

  You know, FC Schalke 04U18 is a full 32 people.

  This list, it can almost be said that this season can enter the rotation of the final list.

  If not in this list.

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

  Especially for those guys who only signed a Trainee Contract.

  Everyone eyed the notebook in Wycliffe's hand.

  Many of them, even trembled a little.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

  They didn't want to leave in disgrace just like that.

  “Tomorrow afternoon is our league opener!”

  “Last season, we were fourth in the league!”

  “Not a bad result, but the mainstay of our team, forward and attacking midfielder, also left, and they're now in the draft for the 2. Bundesliga!”

  “As long as you can play, even if we don't have a place for you in 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 road ahead is definitely bright!”

  Daniel spoke in a grandiose manner.

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

  What is professional soccer?

  There is no such thing as a bright future with hard work.

  That's all a lie.

  Without talent, even if you practice until you die, you can only be the fate of the roll.

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

  As the head coach, it was not his responsibility to read out the names of these guys one by one.

  With Daniel's departure!

  Wycliffe too opened his laptop and stood in front.

  The staff stood beside him pushing carts filled with yellow vests.

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

  “Bobby Edgar!”

  A tall man of six-foot-nine stepped forward with a grimace and took the yellow vest.

  As last season's starting goalie, Bobby Edgar had worried about his starting position from the beginning!

  “Esther Scott!” the team's main center - back!

  “Webster Geoffrey” is also the team's main center - back!

  “Morton Jim” mainstayleft-back!

  “Sidney Parker” starred right-back!

  “Lloyd Angelo” is a defensive midfielder!

  “Hardy Hunt” left-sided midfielder!

  “Wheeler Angelo” right wing-half!

  “Ben Cash” attacking midfielder!

  “Helim” is also an attacking midfielder!

  Forward Whit Benedict!

  The eleven starting lineups are read!

  Those whose names are read stand at the opposite end of the lineup!

  Thirty-two men, now only twenty-one!

  And now comes the most brutal moment of all.

  Of these twenty-one, only seven will make the big 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 replace one.

  But you'll have to wait!

  Wycliffe held up his glasses.

  Raising his head, he looked across at the rest of the team.

  It was a scene he had seen too many times.

  There was nothing to lament.

  “Smedley Lev!”

  Hearing the name, Smedley Lev clenched his fists hard.

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

  Being on the roster as a goalkeeper proved that at the very least, this season, he had a chance to play for FC Schalke 04!

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

  Already twenty years old, he tried hard, but his height of 6'5” made him lose the goalkeeper's duel.

  Unlike other positions, as a goalkeeper, even a second goalkeeper would have a hard time making his debut, let alone him being the third.

  ....

  After that, one name after another was read out.

  Some were elated, some were sad!

  After the sixth name was read.

  The remaining fifteen people were waiting with eager anticipation for the last name.

  Wycliffe also stopped at this time as if he was selling a story.

  Raising his head, he deliberately looked towards Su who was standing at the back of the line.

  I wondered if this would be, if that Chinese would be nervous as well.

  But to his disappointment, at this moment, Chinese, with a look of indifference, made Wycliffe also shake his head helplessly!

  It seems that people with talent are always so confident.

  “Su!”

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

  At this moment!

  Many people on the field were also a bit surprised.

  Although Su's talent was fine, he had only been on the team for less than five days, and you actually let someone who had been on the team for less than five days directly enter the roster?

  It's hard to believe that this guy can even go straight to the field?

  The people who were not selected began to chatter.

  Only this kind of twittering was completely useless.

  After reading out the names, Daniel also walked back up!

  “That's the roster for the first game, if anyone wants to leave, they can check in right away, registration for The 3. Liga is still open!”

  “Maybe on another team you can find an opportunity!”

  “As soon as you've made contact, the club side can release you completely according to your contract!”

  That's the ultimatum!

  This moment!

  As long as you leave the team, then you still have a chance to find an opportunity with some The 3. Liga teams.

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

  The remaining people, one by one, looked at each other.

  In the end, there were still two people who stood out.

  Daniel didn't say anything, smiled, shook hands and said goodbye, and then stopped paying attention.

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

  Professional soccer is so cruel ah!
