A Legend From Soccer World Chapter 8

Although he was very reluctant, Leo went to school obediently.

Fortunately, after a short period of adjustment, he quickly adapted to school life.

Even because of the rules of world consciousness, Leo's teachers and classmates all assumed that Leo was just an ordinary student, and their attitude towards him was neither cold nor indifferent. He actually enjoyed the rare purity of being an ordinary person.

By the time Max informed him that it was time to go for a trial, Kaká was almost catching up with his studies at school.

However, between playing football and studying, Leo of course chose to play football, so without any hesitation, he happily followed Max to Milan.

Tryouts are scheduled for Monday.

They rushed to Milan's training base early. When he almost arrived at the door of the club, Leo saw a figure waiting at the door from a distance.

When I got closer, I saw it was Paolo Chris.

Chris looked elegant and calm in a gray coat and blue-black scarf.

His hair is already graying, and the sculpted face of his youth has now been stained by time, but his blue eyes still look deep and charming.

Max saw him and immediately waved hello.

Chris also saw them and trotted over.

When they arrived, the two old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time exchanged a big hug.

"I've lost weight." Chris held Max's arm and looked at it carefully, feeling filled with emotion.

When he left the team, Max was still a high-spirited young man. After so many years, the boy who followed his brothers has grown up.

Suffering and setbacks have transformed this once carefree child into a truly mature man.

Max also looked at Chris and gave his own opinion: "You are much older, but you are still handsome."

Chris couldn't help but laugh, patted Max on the shoulder, and laughed and cursed: "What else? I'm fifty years old. If I don't age, won't I turn into a monster?"

The strange feeling caused by not seeing each other for many years dissipated in this joke.

After a brief greeting, Max introduced Leo behind him to Chris.

In fact, Chris saw him from the beginning.

When he first saw Leo's photo, Chris began to expect that he would have the same talent as Max. So he contacted Max and wanted to ask Leo if he wanted to come for a trial.

However, in the world of football, the chances of a family having outstanding football talent are extremely small.

Chris knew this very well, so he didn't have high hopes. But when Max told him that Leo's talent was not inferior to his own, his heart began to beat wildly.

No one knows Ricciardo's talent better than he does.

As a former captain, Chris knows Max's abilities well. If Leo is as good as he said, then AC Milan may usher in the next "Son of God".

Just imagining it made his heart swell.

So almost at the same time as he received the news from Max, Chris notified the club's top management and Gattuso, telling them to prepare for trial training in advance.

However, when he actually saw Leo, Chris couldn't help but sigh again at the magic of genes.

These two brothers look so much alike.

The moment he saw Leo, he almost thought he had returned to the moment when he first saw Max on the training ground more than ten years ago.

Both of them are so young, with childish smiles on their faces, looking shy and well-behaved.

Perhaps because the first impression was so good, even after discovering Max's naughty nature, Chris always treated him like a child.

Now Leo also gives Chris the same feeling.

Thinking that Leo was as old as his youngest son Daniel, he couldn't help but soften his tone and greeted him gently: "Nice to meet you, Leo."

The two men exchanged a friendly hug.

"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Chris."

Leo is still not used to calling his former captain this way.

But his embarrassment was misunderstood by Chris as shyness, and the once resolute and unblinking iron-blooded captain's attitude became more gentle.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the stadium, Gattuso is already waiting for us."

The content of modern football trials is divided into two parts. One is the most basic physical examination, and the other is specific football abilities, including running, technique, physical confrontation, and mental state testing.

The club's coaching staff is already in place.

When Gattuso saw Max and Kaká, his eyes lit up and he rushed over and gave Kaká a hug. Then he let go of Max, hugged Leo who was following behind, and patted him on the back.

"You are Leo, you look so much like your brother."

Gattuso glanced at Leo and then at Max, amazed.

Leo feels that he is used to it. After all, everyone has to sigh when they see him.

The physical examination report came out soon. Leo's indicators were all qualified, but his physical fitness was still relatively low compared to first-team players.

It's fine for the youth team, but it looks a bit weak in Serie A. If you really stay on the team in the future, improving your physical fitness will become a top priority.

Everyone soon arrived at the training ground again.

The players on the field were undergoing regular training. When they saw a bunch of people coming over, the attention of many players was attracted.

"What position do you play?" Gattuso asked him.

"Forward midfielder."

Leo answered without thinking.

Everyone glanced at Max, who raised his eyebrows, indicating that his brother did play in the same position as him.

The initial test is the most basic five items of acceleration, short passing, dribbling, ball control, and long-range shooting. Leo's performance was very good, and the coaching staff's evaluation was excellent.

His movements have very strong personal characteristics. Compared with the gorgeous and fancy footwork of many Brazilian players, Leo's movements are more concise, clear, elegant and smooth.

"Did you teach your brother? He is exactly the same as you." Gattuso approached Max and asked him.

Max also responded in a low voice: "Absolutely."

They are all the same person, so they may not be exactly the same as him.

"How's it going? Not bad, right?"

Max's tone was showy. Gattuso said nothing, but gave Max a thumbs up.

What amazed everyone was Leo's high-speed dribbling ability.

Just like Max in his prime, Leo can also accelerate again when running with the ball.

He was like a gust of wind, whizzing by with the ball at his feet. His excellent ball control ability and excellent sense of rhythm made the ball behave very well at his feet.

Leo rushed to the outside of the penalty area with the ball.

In front of the goal, goalkeeper Donnarumma was doing daily training, but suddenly he saw a strange figure rushing towards him with a football.

The goalkeeper's instinct makes him immediately ready to defend.

Leo did not move forward, and his keen sense of the ball allowed him to quickly spot the opportunity. So he stopped on the spot and hit the goal with a long shot with his right foot. The ball spun quickly after being volleyed hard and flew toward the goal at an astonishing speed.

This is a very powerful and fast long shot.

Donnarumma jumped up and threw himself in the direction of the ball, but was unable to recover. The football flew into the net and made white waves.

The ball went in! ! !

This series of movements is done in one go, as smooth as mercury falling on the ground, making people feel hearty!

Leo waved his fist excitedly.

He felt that he was in particularly good condition. Now he not only has a healthy body, but also has more than ten years of football experience. Even though it is still a bit unfamiliar, it is enough for him to understand himself better and understand how to play better.

Leo turned around to look for Max and saw him applauding him with his hands raised high. Although he couldn't see his expression clearly, Leo was sure that the other party was also very happy.

However, the innocent Donnarumma was a little confused. He got up from the ground, surprised and confused.

What on earth just happened?

Not only Donnarumma had such doubts, but others were also shocked. The coaching staff on the sidelines widened their eyes, and the players training on the court also stopped.

Where did this monster come from?
