Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 33 What?! They're all star players, why do they still need to study? (Please add to your favorites)

It wasn't until after the meal, when a credit card in his own name suddenly appeared in his pocket, that Su Hao realized he had misunderstood Old Su.

I'm so moved!
Especially when his mother went to the kitchen to wash the pot, Lao Su lowered his voice and said, "Don't listen to your mother's nonsense about how teenagers don't need money. China is a society that values ​​relationships. Don't be stingy. Take the opportunity to treat your teammates or the older guys to a meal! By the way, for holidays, don't buy expensive things. Buy some small gifts for all the teammates and staff. Just remember this: at home you are a child, but outside, no one treats you like a child. Even now, your mother still thinks you are a high school student! I've told her this so many times, but she won't listen. She insists that you are still young."

So, Old Su's idea is really great.
"Dad, no need, the team has everything. I have to go back to training soon!"

Although Su Hao verbally refused, he showed no intention of returning the card.

After all, it was really tough to only have a little over 6,000 yen in my pocket on this trip to Japan.

Having earned so much, Lao Shen cough cough Su Hao also wanted to be a little unrestrained, although it was just a thought!

"Yeah, you played fantastic in that match against Japan, haha, you have no idea how many people called to say that our Su family has produced a superstar."

"When your dad was young, I watched our Chinese team play against the Japanese. We could beat them like it was nothing. I don't know why, ever since football became professional and we had the Jia-A league, we've been getting all sorts of humiliations from Japan!"

"."

"Hey! Do some chores after you finish eating! I washed the dishes, could you at least mop the floor? You're so lazy! Yesterday's socks are still soaking in the basin, are you trying to have babies? I washed Xiaohao's clothes, couldn't you just fold them neatly and put them in his bag? You can't see me if I don't say anything, can you? Do you know how tired I am all day long? I..."

"Okay, okay! I'll go mop the floor right now!"

"I already told you to fold Xiaohao's clothes first. Xiaohao has to go to the club. Don't you want to fold them?"

"No! No, I misheard, I misheard! Boss lady!"

Got it!
Old Su had been lounging around like Ge You, giving Su Hao life advice for only a few minutes, when Su Hao's mother, wearing an apron, smoothed her stray hairs and expertly started directing Old Su to do chores.

He mopped the floor, wiped the table, cleaned his own ashtray, and tidied up his smelly socks. He even made a funny face at himself while doing so.
Su Hao sat quietly on the sofa, watching the scene unfold before him.

And you know what? These ordinary, mundane chatter and family gossip made Su Hao feel that everything he was experiencing was real!

However.
Good things are always fleeting.

It wasn't until Su Hao finished packing his clothes and was about to return to the club that he realized his nagging mother had already prepared a big gift for him.

"Xiao Hao, I know you're a professional player now, but I've talked to your homeroom teacher. You can't neglect your studies. Focus on team training. There are two ways to study: either find a tutor at the club, or after the training camp, when you return to school, your homeroom teacher will contact your other subject teachers to give you extra lessons in rotation!"

Oh my god
Oh my god!!!
head teacher???
study????
this.
These two words are such terrifying and distant terms, words of wolves and tigers.
He himself has become famous throughout the country for his 2 assists and 1 goal in the AFC Champions League.

Why do we still need to study?!
Who in this world would still be studying when they're already a key player on a professional team? (When Su Dalin traveled through time in 2022, Yamal was still in the U19 team and not yet famous.)
"Um, is it possible to learn it on your own?"

Su Hao initially wanted to refuse outright, but after seeing his father make a throat-slitting gesture behind his mother's back, he had no choice but to settle for the less desirable option of using self-study to get by.

Right now, his most important task is to train hard and improve his passing skills. And what about studying?
What a waste of time to learn!

However, in front of me, a 100% pure Shandong native, all his reasons were utterly worthless!

"Xiaohao, I've been there, you know? Being an athlete can earn you money, and you can live well when you're young, but what about after you retire? I've seen a lot of news, like about Tyson. That world boxing champion earned more than you soccer players, but in the end, he still went bankrupt. You're only 16 now. If you don't study hard, you won't even have a college degree. What will you do then? Besides, learning more knowledge will help your values ​​and outlook on life. Sixteen is the age when you need to learn the most. Not learning will be very bad for your future. Listen to me, at the very least, you need to get a college degree. That way, after you retire, you can still take the civil service exam before you're thirty-five."

have to!!!
How did we end up talking about civil service exams again?! "Honey, in today's society, as long as you can make it in football, universities will be scrambling to hire you. Forget about a university degree, if you do, you'll easily get a PhD. As for civil service exams, if Xiao Hao really becomes a world-class football star, I can't guarantee he'll get into the national sports bureau, but he could easily get into the Guangdong Shenyang sports bureau, at least starting as a section-level leader!"

"I"

Su Hao has returned to the club.

Behind him was the sound of Old Su being reprimanded while facing the wall, and on his back was a heavy load of all the textbooks for the second half of his first year of high school.

In the face of absolute power, all reasons are dismissed as sophistry.

Suddenly, Su Hao wondered if he could go abroad to study as soon as possible.

I doubt people abroad are still asking for private tutors to help them with their studies.

At least there aren't many final exams abroad?

"Hey? Aren't you that number 30 from Evergrande, Su Suhao?"

At the entrance of the residential area, Su Hao hailed a taxi, but before he could even say where he wanted to go, the taxi driver turned around and shouted excitedly!

Su Hao was a little confused.
What... what's going on?
Is he that famous now?
Seeing that the other person was so bald he could reflect light, Su Hao immediately greeted him politely as "Uncle".

"Haha, that lob shot was amazing! I've been watching football for almost 30 years, and I never thought Guangzhou could produce a Beckham! Haha, can I take a picture with that and get your autograph?"

"Oh, sure! Sure!"

Photo Signature
Su Hao had actually imagined this scene long before he returned from Japan.

Logically, shouldn't it be a group of female fans excitedly taking photos of themselves?
"Our Evergrande is awesome! Putting everything else aside, we're way better than those idiots from Jiangsu Suning. Last year we beat the Koreans five times, and this year we paid them back!"

"Haha, and that flying kick of yours was fucking satisfying! Those Japanese are so arrogant. Just wait until they come to Tianhe, then we'll definitely give them a good beating!"

"You know what? Tickets for Tianhe Stadium are really hard to come by right now. Luckily I bought a season ticket in advance. I just don't know if we can win the AFC Champions League this year!"

"I'm even thinking about whether Evergrande could create a kind of season ticket system like those overseas, where the seats are fixed so that when I get old or die, my son can continue to watch the game from my spot!"

"."

During the ten-minute drive, Su Hao just kept smiling and didn't dare to respond.

However, seeing the excited expressions on the faces of the taxi drivers along the way, Su Hao felt quite bitter inside.

Hey!
Perhaps this stranger never imagined that the team that made him so excited that he ran a red light, the team that made all the people of Guangzhou fall in love with red, would collapse in just a few years!

At the same time, their last remaining hope for Chinese football also collapsed!
