Chapter 385: More Haste, Less Speed
During the day at school, little Jiming was a little melancholy at first. When he thought that he would not be able to see his father for a long time, he would still comfort his eyes. M.
But whenever he had such thoughts, the smiling face of Chang Sheng would appear in his mind and he would hear what he said to himself.
"No matter what difficulties and situations you encounter, when you feel uncomfortable, just think about it. If a dream is hanging on a cliff, only the bravest people can pick it."
When he thought of this, Xiao Jiming was full of courage and motivation.
He thought that he was a little man, carrying his father's hopes on his shoulders, and he must succeed.
So he threw all his melancholy to Java.

After studying at the local school, Ji Ming spent the afternoon receiving training from Lazio coaches at school.
I have to say that the ever-victorious [Golden Eyes] is really very accurate.
Ji Ming is really a monster with -10 potential.
It's only been a year since he joined the elementary school's team, but he's already standing out in training. Even if Chang Sheng didn't say hello specifically, the two coaches of the Lazio youth team who came to this school to coach would regard Ji Ming as a key training target.
Because his talent is obviously much higher than other people of his age.
In Italy, being able to receive high-level football training, Ji Ming made rapid progress.
Now he is only ten years old, but he can already surpass two age groups and compete with children two years older than him.
Although his body is still a little thin, his skills and speed are very powerful.
And his golf IQ is very high, which may be his biggest advantage.
He knows his strengths and weaknesses, so when competing with kids older than him, he will avoid his weaknesses and maximize his strengths.
For example, he knows that his body is not strong, so he tries to avoid physical contact with his opponent. He will use speed and technology to get rid of the opponent before the opponent has time to touch him.
But if you can't get rid of it,
He will never rely on his good skills to deal with the opponent. He will pass the football very quickly so that the opponent cannot continue to mark him, and then he will cut and run.
These are really not what anyone taught him, but his innate abilities.
This may have something to do with the fact that he is more mature than his peers.
During this afternoon's training session, two Lazio coaches noticed that Ji Ming worked extra hard today and was more engaged in training. In the past, he had somewhat of a boyish nature, such as being playful and unable to concentrate 100% during training.
This is a characteristic shared by many child players.
But today, nothing like this appeared on Ji Ming's body. His focus would put many adult professional players to shame.
This surprised the two coaches.
But they didn't ask, anyway, they liked Ji Ming like this.
After the training, they also praised Ji Ming's focus and seriousness in front of other players: "If each of you were like Ji! You would also play as well as him!"

After the afternoon training, Ji Ming's father would usually come to school to pick him up at this time.
But not today, because his father has returned to China. The training of the first team is not over yet, and it will take some time before Chang Sheng comes to pick him up.
Ji Ming was not in a hurry. He put his schoolbag on the playground and ran with the football on the track. As he ran, he kept changing his rhythm. He also imitated how to respond when he encountered an interception. He changed from time to time. Moving in the direction, sometimes stopping suddenly, sometimes accelerating, a 300-meter track became Ji Ming's "football field".
Of course, sometimes he will make a mistake, and he will have to run farther to retrieve the football.
He just kept running round and round.
He didn't count either. He didn't know how many laps he had run.
He just feels that only in this way can he make greater progress and realize his dream as soon as possible.
Because didn’t Uncle Chang say that?
When others can play, I practice.
While others are at home with mom and dad, I have to practice.
When others are sleeping in bed and can't get up, I have to practice ball...
I cannot relax or be lazy in the slightest.
This way I can achieve success!

Chang Sheng was standing on the edge of the court. He had been here for a while.
He did not disturb Ji Ming, but stood in an inconspicuous corner and observed him.
Speaking of which, this was the first time he had seen Ji Ming play... Yes, although he knew that Ji Ming was very talented, he had never seen Ji Ming play.
When Ji Ming came to Lazio for trial training before, he was leading the first team training. When he finished training, the trial training was also over. Regarding Ji Ming's performance in the trial training, he only gave a rough account of it from the two coaches at the time.
Later, even if Ji Ming became a member of the Lazio club, he never watched Ji Ming's training. Because he is too busy and has no time at all.
Later, for a while, he even forgot about Ji Ming...
So it wasn't until today that he saw how Ji Ming played football...
Although there was no opponent or confrontation, Chang Sheng could still see the characteristics of Ji Ming's playing just from Ji Ming's running with the ball in circles.
Fast speed and good technology.
Because he was alone, he couldn't see his passing and awareness.
He just watched for a while, thinking that when he turned sixteen, if his level was up to standard, he would let him play for the first team!
Maybe he would become the youngest player to play for the first team in Lazio...
That would be a great moment!
Changsheng was excited when he thought of this future.
He wished that day would come sooner.
Coming back to his senses from his vision, Changsheng saw Ji Ming was still dribbling the ball, but his speed had decreased and his movements were not coherent enough. It was obvious... he was tired.
Next, when he was about to dribble the ball, he stumbled and not only kicked the ball far away, but also fell on the runway.
Ji Ming, who fell, lay on the ground without moving.
Changsheng raised his eyebrows, with a concerned look on his face. He wanted to go over to see where Ji Ming fell.
At this moment, Ji Ming turned over and lay on the runway.
He still didn't get up, just lying in a big character.
Chang Sheng then realized that his chest was rising and falling violently, and he was obviously tired...
※ ※ ※
Ji Ming was still lying on the ground gasping for breath, and he could not get up.
After all, he was a ten-year-old child. After such high-intensity exercise, his body seemed to no longer belong to him.
At this moment, a dark shadow appeared above him.
"Although hard training is a good thing, you should also be careful not to damage your body. You are still young and your body has not yet developed. You don't need to train too hard."
It was Uncle Chang's voice!
Ji Ming heard the voice and tried to turn over and sit up.
But he found that his body was stiff.
He groaned and failed to get up.
Chang Sheng squatted down, supported his shoulders, and slowly stood up.
"My feet are sore, Uncle Chang." Ji Ming said with a bitter face.
Chang Sheng smiled: "Of course they are sore. How many laps have you run? Even an adult would not dare to run like you. Stand still and don't move."
After that, he walked around in front of Ji Ming and squatted down. "Come closer."
He said.
Ji Ming was stunned. Uncle Chang was going to carry him!
"I can walk by myself, Uncle Chang..."
Chang Sheng shook his head and said in an unquestionable tone: "Stop talking nonsense. This is the order of the head coach. Come up if you are told to!"
Finally, Ji Ming surrendered to Chang Sheng. He was afraid of making Chang Sheng angry. He felt that he might have made him angry...
So Chang Sheng carried Ji Ming on his back and walked towards the parking lot outside the school.
Ji Ming leaned his face on Chang Sheng's shoulder, and his body rose and fell with his steps.
For a moment, he had an illusion that the person carrying him was not Chang Sheng, but his father.
If the media reporters saw this scene, they would be very surprised-when would the arrogant and annoying Chang Sheng have such a warm scene?
The number of people in this world who he could be willing to carry on his back could probably be counted on one hand, right?

"It's my fault. I forgot that you are still a ten-year-old child. I shouldn't have told you that. Your body can't bear excessive exercise. Your father gave you the TOEFL exam to me because he trusted me. I can't let anything happen to you. So Xiaoming, you don't have to work too hard. This matter... can't be achieved by working hard." Chang Sheng said with Ji Ming on his back.
Ji Ming nodded: "I know, Uncle Chang. I promise I won't do it again next time. Can I still play football in the future?"
He was a little worried. His body was sore and almost not his own. He was afraid of serious sequelae.
"Yes, of course. You just need to go back and have a good rest for a day." Chang Sheng smiled.
"I'll ask for leave for you tomorrow. You can rest at home. You can sleep in and play as much as you want. This doesn't prevent you from pursuing your dream in the end." Chang Sheng said.
He walked to the front of the car, put Ji Ming down, opened the door of the back seat, and helped Ji Ming climb up.
He then got into the driver's seat.
He looked back and saw that Ji Ming was having some trouble fastening his seat belt. He was really exhausted.
So Chang Sheng got off again, came to his seat, and helped him fasten his seat belt.
After finishing all this, he started the car and set off.
"Look, Xiao Ming. The road to fulfilling our dreams is like our road home. Although we have a car, which can make the road home easier, we can't be impatient. If we drive too fast, we will also have a car accident. By then, we won't be able to go home even if we have one. The seat belt should also be fastened. This road is long, don't be anxious, drive steadily, and everything will naturally come to fruition."
Chang Sheng said to Ji Ming behind him while driving.
Ji Ming nodded: "I know, Uncle Chang. I will remember it!"
While waiting for the red light, Chang Sheng turned his head and smiled at him.
"Take a good rest tomorrow, recharge your energy, and set off for your dream again!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward (this site). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
