She felt a pang of heartache.
"It's a minor issue. What do you expect from trash who can't even control the ball? Do you think he could cripple me?"
Ye Lingfeng casually flexed his ankle, then reached out and patted the top of the girl's head.
He and Su Qianqian had known each other for a long time.
Although he didn't attend school in China,
their parents were good business partners.
The two families also had a very good relationship.
Su Qianqian's appearance at the National Youth Team's training base today was specifically to watch his practice match.
"But… I just saw those reporters outside being detained by them. The upcoming media reports might twist the facts, which would be very unfavorable to you…"
Su Qianqian looked worried.
Hearing this, Ye Lingfeng frowned.
But he wasn't particularly surprised.
Manipulating the media, controlling public opinion—
this was perfectly normal for those people.
However, for him, being of Chinese descent, there was nothing to worry about.
After all, after this incident,
his future would inevitably not be in China.
Even if his reputation might be damaged, what was there to care about?
Unless the Chinese Football Association could ban him overseas!
But how could that be possible?
Where would the Chinese Football Association get such power?
Regarding China as a country, Ye Lingfeng held a deep love for it.
Having lived two lives, China would always be his favorite.
Moreover, in this life, he grew up abroad.
He could tell from the attitudes and impressions of those around him towards China that
China's reputation overseas had been very good in recent years.
But this was only for the country.
As for the National Football Team… Ye Lingfeng only felt endless disappointment and disgust!
He believed that
the kind of incident he encountered today was just a microcosm of China's football system.
There were far more dark and disgusting things everywhere!
"So, are you going back to Spain next?" Su Qianqian smoothed her skirt and sat beside Ye Lingfeng, reaching out to adjust his collar.
"Yes! Back to Barcelona, to continue my football dream!"
Ye Lingfeng smiled and replied.
Two years ago, while still playing in Argentina, he was scouted by the world-renowned La Masia Youth Training Camp.
He passed the tryout, signed a contract,
and thus came to Spain, beginning a new chapter in his dream.
Holders of Latin American nationality can apply for local nationality after residing in Spain for two years.
It was precisely because of his two years of study at La Masia that Ye Lingfeng successfully obtained Spanish nationality.
And with the FIFA U-20 World Cup approaching,
he received invitations from both the Spain National Youth Team and the Argentina National Youth Team!
At the same time, of course, there was also a call-up from the China National Youth Team.
Originally, he wanted to return to China to see, with a trial attitude.
After all, because he was a pure Chinese in his previous life, Ye Lingfeng still had a soft spot for China.
But now, it seemed he had been completely mistaken!
China was great.
But Chinese football truly wasn't worth it!
Su Qianqian nodded.
"That's good. The football environment in Europe is indeed much better than in China…"
As the two were talking,
just then,
several sudden mechanical sounds rang out in Ye Lingfeng's mind.
[Ding! Detecting that the host is experiencing a significant life moment, the Football King System is activating…]
[1%… 5%…]
[System activation successful!]
[Ding! System activated for the first time. Congratulations to the host for receiving a Newbie Gift Pack . Would you like to open it?]
Listening to the voices echoing in his mind,
Ye Lingfeng's expression couldn't help but be shocked!
...Late at night.
Ye Lingfeng looked out through the porthole, taking one last glance at the land below.
He resolutely closed the shade.
The last trace of nostalgia in his eyes also vanished.
This was a flight returning to Barcelona, Spain.
In the seat beside him was the sleeping Su Qianqian.
What was originally a solo return journey
was no longer lonely with the accompanying girl.
Su Qianqian, from a wealthy family, had already planned to study in Spain next semester
to prepare for her future studies in Europe.
It was currently the high school summer vacation, and her visa was complete.
At her insistent urging, Ye Lingfeng had no choice but to allow her to accompany him back to Spain.
Regarding this, Su Qianqian's parents not only didn't object,
but upon hearing she was going back with Ye Lingfeng,
they even strongly supported it.
They even came to see them off at the airport.
Two minors, without the accompaniment of a guardian, thus embarked on a flight to Spain.
Ye Lingfeng, who had inherited the original owner's body and memories, hadn't yet figured out how to handle his relationship with Su Qianqian.
However, it was evident that this girl seemed to like him quite a lot.
In his memories, the two had known each other since childhood.
Their parents were moderately well-known businessmen in Argentina.
Both owned large supermarkets.
Argentinians were famously known worldwide as spendthrifts, spending as much as they earned.
And the urbanization in various parts of Argentina was particularly high.
Daily necessities were basically bought at supermarkets.
So, in earlier years, owning a supermarket in Argentina was an extremely lucrative business.
Ye Lingfeng was born in Argentina, receiving basic Spanish education, while also learning Chinese and English.
His proficiency in all of them was quite good.
Although Ye Lingfeng didn't attend school in China, Su Qianqian would go to Argentina every winter and summer vacation to reunite with her parents.
