"As an amateur team, it is difficult for Queens Park to attract capable players to play, but relying on their previous influence, they can still attract some players who have been eliminated by professional teams to play here."
"But even if a player is kicked out, they will immediately switch to a professional team. This is the biggest problem in Queens Park."
"Alex Ferguson, he failed to join the professional team youth training at the beginning, he chose to play in Queens Park, while playing as an apprentice in the shipyard, and then he went to the professional team with a good performance. ..."
Old John is still talking enthusiastically, the old people just like to remember the past.
But Lee Chenglong was attracted by a player on the court.
The opponent is a full-back and he played quite well.
When the Queen’s Park finished training and took a rest on the sidelines, Li Chenglong took the initiative to walk over.
"Who is this guy? Is the team new?" A stranger rushed in, and the players in Queen's Park were all talking.
"It seems a bit of an impression, I have definitely seen this guy somewhere."
"I remember, this guy is currently a super newcomer in the Soviet Super League. He seems to be called Blues. The free kick is very powerful."
"Bruce Lee, it's him, why did he get here?"
……
A group of people were bluffing, and Jackie Lee said directly:
Hello everyone, I’m Bruce Lee from Dundee United. I’m here to visit Hampton Park Stadium today. I’m glad to meet you all.
It was said hello, Li Chenglong walked straight to the side to sit alone, and sat down next to a young man who was not amazing and thin, and then asked, "Can I sit here?"
The thin young man seemed a little timid, pursed his lips, and did not speak.
"I just saw you play pretty well, what's your name?" Li Chenglong still asked familiarly.
"Robertson, Andrew Robertson."
"Why are you playing here?"
As long as it catches up with the word, then it is easy to talk.
Andrew Robertson is a real Glasgow native, one year younger than Jackie Lee.
In China, people refer to the college entrance examination as crossing a single-plank bridge.
In Europe, the competitiveness of professional football is not worse than that of China's college entrance examination.
Every year in Europe, a large number of children are absorbed by professional teams into youth academies, but at the same time more than a hundred times as many children are rejected outside the door.
Robertson has loved football since he was a child and is a loyal Celtics fan, but he was rejected without hesitation when he went to the Celtics for a trial for the first time.
But he did not give up. He played while studying. Finally, relying on the results of leading the school team to the semi-finals of the national school football match, he was accepted by the Celtics.
But the good times didn't last long. I spent two years with the Celtics. When he was 15 years old, last year, he was rejected by the Celtics again.
The Celtics thought that Robertson would not have much future, and directly persuaded him.
Normal children encounter this situation, and the most likely thing is to go back to school and get a job after taking a college entrance exam.
But Robertson is still unwilling to give up. He chose to join the amateur team Park Queen, playing here, while working in the supermarket to support himself, and continue to wait for opportunities.
"Although I don't like Rangers, I admire Ferguson not because of his coaching performance, but because he was able to fight back step by step after being rejected by the professional team." Robertson clenched his fist. Said forcefully.
Lee Chenglong also understood what Robertson meant.
Ferguson has been a standard Rovers die-hard fan since he was a child, and Robertson is a diehard Celtic loyalist, and the two are not born in the same dimension.
But then after being rejected by the professional team, Ferguson was able to save the country and return to the professional team a little bit, and finally kicked the ball for the Rangers.
This is what Robertson admires very much, so he admires Ferguson, and only admires Ferguson this point, but not the other.
The reason why Li Chenglong came to talk to each other was not to listen to the story, but that he recognized this thin young man, not the future Champions League champion, the top left back in Europe.
But he really did not expect that Robertson's career is quite inspirational.
If there is no Jackie Lee, Robertson may still be here for two years, slowly waiting for the opportunity.
But now that Li Chenglong has appeared, he is naturally willing to help each other if he can, and he also has another idea in his heart.

After Jackie Lee left, the players of the Queen's Park team immediately surrounded Robertson.
"Andrew, what did that Bruce Lee just ask you for, you have been talking for so long?"
"Just a brief chat, he said that I played very well." Robertson answered honestly.
"Isn't it? I played so well and he didn't praise me, so he came to praise you specially?"
"Yeah, your kid is so skinny, I can throw you into the sky with one hand, he actually said you played well?"
"Andrew, since he praised you for playing well, did he say to introduce you to the professional team?" This is the group of people most interested in.
"No, he just said that if I keep working hard, I will definitely be kicked out in the future." Robertson replied with a guilty conscience.
Although the opponent did not say anything about introducing the professional team, the opponent left his contact information, which gave Robertson a certain illusion.
However, Robertson started to work hard at a young age. He is not a brainless person. It is better not to say such things. Besides, he has only joined this team for a few months, and he is not too familiar with this group of teammates. .

In the car back to Dundee, Old John was driving and Jackie Lee was playing with his cell phone.
He was playing Twitter. When UU Reading www.uukanshu.com just asked Robertson to keep his contact information, the other party not only kept the phone number, but also kept a Twitter account.
This reminded Li Chenglong that he didn't seem to have a dedicated social media account yet, so he planned to sign up for a Twitter.
Register an account, add Robertson as a friend, and then see that the other party has only one status.
"People at this age, if you don't have money, you will be treated as rubbish."
Okay, this guy looks a little dull and doesn't talk much, he is still a literary youth.
Looking at Li Chenglong playing with his head down for a long time, the old John, who had been driving silently, finally couldn't help but asked the question in his mind: "You just muttered with that kid for a long time, what are you talking about?"
"Just to watch him play well, talk to him."
"Really?"
"Well, I think Kate has become an official agent, but there are too few players currently under my team, so I plan to introduce a client to her." Li Chenglong said casually.
Some time ago, Kate Lee called and said that she has passed the agent examination and is now an official agent.
Lee Chenglong feels that Kate Lee will also be an agent in the future anyway. It is for him to be an agent for himself or for a group of people.
It’s better than Li Chenglong introduce him a few good customers, just to use his past life memory, don’t waste it.
Of course, now it’s the information society. Those talented players who have become famous cannot be dug out. They have already fixed and familiar agents.
But those players who were not optimistic in their early years and were late bloomers can still find a few players.
This is what Li Chenglong thought of temporarily after learning about Robertson.
