Chapter 27 Preparing for Future Stars
"Ugh! Ugh!"

Yang Fan crawled out of the track and lay on the ground like a lump of mud.

He Chaoyue walked over, handed her a bottle of chilled energy drink, and nodded, saying, "You've improved! You kept up for two quarters!"

"Old Wei is a beast!"

Yang Fan grumbled as he watched Wei Lai running back and forth on the track.

“In terms of physical ability alone, I really haven’t seen anyone better than him,” He Chaoyue nodded.

"It's not just about physical fitness!" Yang Fan gulped down a big mouthful of his drink, wiping his mouth as he said, "That kind of cardiopulmonary capacity is the key! I felt like my lungs were about to explode, and my legs were so sore I could barely lift them, but that guy was completely fine!"

He is a full-back, and also an attacking full-back.

Yang Fan needs to run back and forth frequently, so he has a certain degree of confidence in his physical abilities.

But that confidence has now been completely shattered by Wei Lai.

I've never seen anything like it that can run so fast!
"He should go participate in the marathon!" Yang Fan gritted his teeth, unsure whether he felt helpless towards Wei Lai or annoyed with himself.

The two chatted intermittently, while Wei Lai continued training.

After a while, Yang Fan finally recovered.

He looked at Wei Lai, who was sweating profusely, and especially at his constantly flickering eyes, and was filled with puzzlement.

"Old He, how does that guy manage to stick to such monotonous training?"

He paused, touched his chin, and felt that the word 'persistence' was not quite appropriate; Wei Lai seemed to be 'enjoying' the training.

Does anyone actually enjoy training?
Yang Fan has also met some training fanatics.

Leaving aside others, He Chaoyue next to him is one example.

He is undoubtedly a genius, but he also put in extraordinary effort, which is what made him the super genius he is today.

However, He Chaoyue's training volume was only a fraction of Wei Lai's.

"He has a goal!"

He Chaoyue said softly.

"A goal?" Yang Fan turned his head; "Everyone has a goal!"

He Chaoyue turned her head: "What is your goal?"

"What else could it be? Perform well in the youth training program, try to pass the trial with the first team next year, and then play in the Chinese Super League! If all else fails, go to the reserve team to play in the second division to get some experience. Anyway, for Willy Football School, this is our path to advancement!" Yang Fan said casually.

Traditional youth training programs typically have very clear and straightforward progression paths.

If you perform well enough, you'll be promoted directly to the first team and become a professional player.

This is also the ultimate goal of many youth players at the Willys Football School!
He Chaoyue continued, "What about setting more specific goals? For example, what are you going to do this week? What standards do you want to achieve this year?"

"Huh?" Yang Fan scratched his head; "It just means playing good football!"

He Chaoyue smiled and said, "That's what I admire about Wei Lai!"

"What?"

"He has detailed goals!"

He Chaoyue narrowed her eyes and said, "He tries to cover the field in the game, but in training he focuses on foot frequency and some basic skills. What do you think this means?"

Yang Fan blinked: "I don't understand!"

He Chaoyue sighed and said, "To put it another way, what do you think is Wei Lai's best quality?"

"Defense!" Yang Fan said bluntly; "You've seen this guy's defensive ability before. Even you would have a hard time if he got close to you!"

He Chaoyue nodded; Wei Lai's defensive abilities were indeed making him feel very troubled.

"But he's still training his foot speed and basic skills!" He Chaoyue exclaimed. "This means he's not satisfied with just that!"

"Tongue frequency and basic skills are all preparation for dribbling. Later, he might practice passing, train offensive thinking, and so on. He's not content to be just a piece of the puzzle!"

"He wants to be the core member!"

"Most importantly, he is exploring forward step by step!"

Yang Fan grinned and said, "Being teammates with a guy like this is incredibly stressful!"

He Chaoyue smiled and nodded; "But the progress is just as great!" Yang Fan nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Wei Lai jogged over, his feet still pacing in place, and looked at the two of them, saying, "Finished resting? Want to play another round?"

"Give me an egg!" Yang Fan laughed and cursed; "I'm not an animal, get lost!"

Wei Lai shrugged and jogged away, with He Chaoyue immediately following after him.

Yang Fan called out, "Old He, take it easy, don't end up like last time, turning into a seaweed head!"

He Chaoyue turned her head and raised her middle finger!
Convex!
The following day, U15-Level B coach Zhao Xiaotang announced preparations for the 'Future Star Cup'.

"A total of 32 teams will participate in this Future Stars Cup. In addition to us, Hongyuan Primary School from Shanghai, Guangfa Youth Training School from Guangdong Province, and Bohai Bay No. 3 Middle School, the champion of this year's National Junior High School League, will also participate."

Hearing Zhao Xiaotang's words, Guo Fan grinned and said, "Goodness! We're only missing Tengfei Football School, otherwise we would have all four traditional youth training schools!"

"Bohai Bay No. 3 Middle School is pretty strong too, after all, they are the national champions!"

"They were really strong; they defeated Pei Le's team from Madu No. 1 Middle School in the finals!"

"But Guangfa is still the most threatening, right? After all, they have that guy Chen Shaojie!"

"Didn't Chen Shaojie go to be a foreign aid worker?"

"The match was canceled, and he came back to play against Future Star!"

"Dry!"

Seeing the whispers among the crowd, Zhao Xiaotang shouted, "Silence!"

Everyone immediately fell silent.

Zhao Xiaotang continued, "The main players should prepare well, and the substitutes should not be careless either. They should always make sure they can play and perform well. This cup competition will determine the starting lineup for the next round, so it depends on whether you can seize the opportunity!"

Upon hearing this, the substitutes immediately became full of energy, while the starters also felt threatened and their faces turned serious.

There is competition not only from the outside, but also from the inside.

"Let's rest today, pack our bags, and head to Shanghai for the competition tomorrow!"

"Disband!"

With the head coach's order, everyone completed a day's training and looked forward to the upcoming match with great anticipation.

Wei Lai was also in high spirits.

After all, this was his first official competition since his return.

Moreover, compared to his previous life, he has indeed made great progress.

However, he wasn't entirely clear on the specifics of his progress and was eager to test it out through a formal competition.

Inside the dormitory, Wei Lai and the others were packing their luggage.

"Hongyuan! Guangfa! And Bohai Port No. 3 Middle School are all here. With us, that makes four seeded teams. It's highly likely that we'll all be in the top four!"

Three top-tier domestic traditional youth training + campus football champions.

They practically swept all four spots in the finals.

After all, these cup competitions select seeded teams to enter four different groups.

Through the group stage, one team from each group advances to the knockout stage, followed by the semi-finals, and the winners of the semi-finals, who then participate in the final.

It's not that untrained youth training is bad; there are some outstanding examples.

However, overall, the gap is still quite large.

As a result, domestic youth training cup competitions often feature scores that are exaggerated to an extreme.

Upsets have happened before!

Back then, the Green Lions made a stunning debut, going all the way through with their black-clad skills and outperforming a host of traditional youth training programs.

However, this is just an isolated case and should not be taken as a reference.

Looking at the current rosters of these teams, the three traditional youth training teams and school football champions have a significant lead in overall strength.
