Chapter 4 – Old Jess Has Connections

"Fing hell, Halim, did you use all your strength on a woman last night? Pass the ball faster!"

"FUCK!"

"You're running ten laps later, you damn fool!"

"Joey!!!"

"Where's your position???"

"I told you to stay wide when receiving the ball! What the hell are you doing in the middle?"

"And damn Hughes! You..."

.......

On the training ground of Schalke 04's U18 Youth Team.

A burly man with a full beard was roaring madly.

Even though the bearded man was spewing profanities, the players on the field being scolded were as obedient as quails.

Talk back?

Impossible!

Who would dare talk back to Schalke's notorious Giles Daniel?

Unless they had a death wish.

As the head coach of the U18 Youth Team,

Giles Daniel had been the head coach here for five years, and no one dared to say a word against him!

However, just as Giles Daniel was fuming over his players' performance, cursing them out,

Search "pawread.com" for the original.

The assistant coach came over.

"Boss, Old Jess is here!"

Hearing the assistant coach's words, Giles Daniel frowned.

Old Jess was no ordinary person.

This old guy was a famous scout for Dortmund.

He had been serving Dortmund for almost twenty years.

He had discovered more than ten talented players.

So, all the teams treated Old Jess with great respect.

"What's he doing here? I'm in the middle of training!"

"Boss, he brought an Asian kid with black hair, probably found a genius somewhere!"

"Asian??"

Giles Daniel was a bit surprised.

Old Jess was an experienced scout, and he wouldn't usually bring someone directly to the field like this.

Originally, Giles Daniel planned to meet him later.

But after thinking it over, Giles Daniel decided to let the assistant coach bring Old Jess onto the training ground.

Giles Daniel's eyes immediately focused on Su Bai!

Like a scanner.

Giles Daniel looked him over from head to toe.

1.8 meters tall, a bit thin, weak in physical confrontation!

That was Giles Daniel's first impression of Su Bai.

However, Giles Daniel didn't mind too much, considering the players from Japan and Korea in the Bundesliga were about the same.

"Hi! Daniel, I could hear you cursing from the entrance!"

Old Jess didn't give Daniel any face.

But despite Old Jess's words, Daniel still reached out to shake hands with him.

He respected someone who had fought for the club for twenty years.

"What brings you here, did you find another genius player for me?"

Daniel said with a smile.

"You're right, give this kid a try!"

"He was just kicked out by Dortmund, but I think we might have found a gem!"

With that, Old Jess pushed Su Bai in front of Daniel.

"Hello, sir! My name is Su Bai, from Yan Country!"

Yan Country?

When Su Bai mentioned his nationality, Daniel was a bit surprised.

He knew about Yan Country, after all, there was a player from Yan Country in the first team, someone named Hao Junmin, but that guy had only played a few matches and was quite inconsistent.

He heard that Hao was the best player from Yan Country.

"This kid has good passing skills, why not let him try?"

Old Jess straightforwardly pointed out Su Bai's strength.

However, hearing Old Jess introduce him like that, Su Bai felt a bit frustrated.

Passing?

Fing hell, he wanted to score goals, and as a forward, he had to pass...

"Passing?"

Daniel was intrigued.

He didn't lack forwards or fast players, but a good passer was exactly what he needed.

He had just been cursing out his main attacking midfielder, Halim O'Shea, for his poor passing despite his strong physique!

"What position do you usually play?"

Daniel asked, looking at Su Bai.

"Forward, sir!"

This answer made Old Jess cover his forehead.

Despite all his persuasion along the way, this guy still claimed to be a forward.

Daniel, however, laughed.

"A forward who's good at passing?"

Looking at Daniel's smile and thinking about the enticing system rewards, Su Bai reluctantly changed his tone.

"Sir, actually, I'm best at midfield, but being a forward is my dream!"

Daniel didn't hesitate.

He called a halt to the on-field scrimmage.

"Go on, you're in, Halim O'Shea, get off and give your vest to this kid!"

Daniel shouted at Halim on the field.

Halim O'Shea, hearing his coach's words, immediately got off the field and handed his vest to Su Bai, giving him a grateful look at the same time.

Su Bai was a bit surprised.

He had taken this guy's position, yet he seemed thankful.

"Ben Casey, explain the tactics to this kid!"

At this moment, a handsome young man with blond hair walked over.

"Hi! I'm Ben Casey, I guess we're temporary teammates now!"

Su Bai shook the hand Ben Casey extended.

"We're Team A! See that big guy up front? He's our right winger, Joey French, fast and strong!"

"And that bald guy, that's our forward, Whit Benedict!"

"I play attacking midfielder, and we're in a 4-3-3 formation!"

"I'll pass the ball to you, and you organize the attack!"

Ben Casey seemed experienced in this.

In a flurry of words, he introduced the players' characteristics and tactics to Su Bai!

Clearly, Ben Casey understood the coach's intentions.

It was just a simple trial.

They'd see the kid's level, and if he made it, someone would contact Su Bai. If not, they'd be strangers again.

Old Jess stood on the sidelines, arms crossed, silently watching Su Bai.

Daniel remained expressionless.

Su Bai took his place on the field.

However, to Su Bai's surprise,

Perhaps because his passing skills were maxed out,

Unlike standing on the forward line,

At this moment, it seemed like lines and numbers were faintly appearing around him....

Was this the system turning passing routes into data?

This system is insane???

"Beep!"

With a whistle from the temporary referee,

The internal training match that would determine Su Bai's fate began!

Ben Casey was a veteran, seeing that his coach wanted to quickly dismiss this unimpressive kid from Yan Country.

So, as soon as the whistle blew, Ben Casey received a back pass from forward Whit Benedict and immediately passed the ball to Su Bai in front of him.

However, the pass was a bit too sudden!

Unexpectedly, the kid from Yan Country couldn't even control the ball!

Hmm!!!

Not exactly couldn't control, but the ball was awkwardly stopped two meters in front of him!

What kind of lousy basic skills are these!!!

Not only Ben Casey, but even the head coach, Giles Daniel, on the sidelines, was speechless.

He turned to look at the scout, Old Jess, beside him.

Old Jess's face was a bit embarrassed for a moment!

But having been around Schalke 04 for so many years,

Old Jess calmly turned his head!

"This kid is probably nervous, and he played a match this morning, so he's probably tired!"

Giles Daniel forced a smile and didn't respond!

What do you mean tired?

This is clearly incompetence!

This level is amateurish at best, how can he play professional football?

At this moment, Su Bai on the field was a bit embarrassed too.

However, Su Bai had thick skin and a strong heart.

Even though he stopped the ball a bit far, he quickly rushed forward and controlled the ball before the B team's forward could snatch it!

Looking at the B team players closing in, the passing routes in front of Su Bai turned almost entirely red!

Without hesitation, Su Bai pulled the ball back and turned.

He passed it to the team's defensive midfielder, Lloyd Anquiro, behind him.
