Chapter 217 Debut? An Assessment!

Goat was discovered after all; in fact, he was caught on camera as soon as he entered the training base.

They were quickly apprehended by security personnel.

The unrest here also forced training to stop.

"What happened?"

Morton immediately went over to ask.

A security guard pointed at Goat and said, "Someone has broken in illegally."

Unable to defend himself, Goat-kun could only cover his face and pretend he didn't know Wei Lai.

He can't cause trouble for others.

"elder brother?"

Suddenly, Wei Lai ran over.

He pointed at Goat and said to Morton, "Sir, this is my brother. He was supposed to come see me today, but I forgot to let you know. How did you get in?"

"Huh?" Goat-kun was stunned.

Wei Lai grinned; "Okay, it's not important anymore. I'm sorry, sir, for causing you trouble."

Morton glanced at Wei Lai before nodding and saying, "Remember to report next time, but we still need to check his electronic devices."

“No problem!” Goat-kun immediately replied.

After the security personnel checked Goat's phone and camera and found no signs of filming, they decided to let him go.

On one side of the field, Wei Lai grinned as he looked at Goat.

How did you get in?

"Crawl through the dog hole!"

Wei Lai: "."

Goat said awkwardly, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Wei Lai waved his hand; "It's not much trouble. Don't try to break into the training base anymore. It's easy to get in."

Goat-kun nodded and looked at Wei Lai: "You've been practicing quite well?"

Wei Lai laughed and said, "Not bad, right?"

Goat sighed and said, "Haven't you thought about briefly explaining your current situation? The whole country is in an uproar. You've been missing for almost four months."

Wei Lai scratched his long hair.

"Has it been that long?"

Looking at Wei Lai's wild-man-like appearance, Goat-kun shook his head and sighed, "You need a haircut."

Wei Lai: "There's a chance, I haven't even left the training base. If all else fails, I'll buy a pusher and push myself."

At this moment, Felix walked over and patted Wei Lai on the shoulder.

"Let's go! Hearts' angels!"

Wei Lai nodded and looked at Goat Jun, saying, "I'm leaving now. Go out by yourself and let the fans back home know I'm safe."

After saying that, Wei Lai waved his hand.

"I'm leaving!"

Goat-kun stared blankly at Wei Lai, muttering to himself:
"The Angel of Hearts?"

He exclaimed in astonishment;
"Is Wei Lai Felix's fifth angel?"

this.
Goat was completely devastated.

Another name for 'Hearts' is 'The Curse of Felix'.

The first four 'angels' all perished along with Felix!
Even Toni Kroos, Germany's top midfielder, couldn't withstand the pressure. After just one season, his form visibly declined, and he eventually left one of the top five leagues.

It's over! Can Wei Lai withstand this curse?

Do you know another name for Hearts' angel?

Felix, walking alongside Wei Lai, suddenly spoke up.

Wei Lai nodded; "I know! Felix's curse!"

Felix stopped. "Aren't you afraid? I destroyed the first four."

Wei Lai stopped and turned to look at Felix.

Why do you think it's your fault?

"Huh?" Felix was taken aback. "But this is the curse, not one or two, but four!"

"You're just unlucky!" Wei Lai said with a smile.

The 'Curse of Felix' is just a media gimmick.

It's just that Felix's reputation was too big; the once-sensational "Save Felix Plan" caused quite a stir.

In fact, this had nothing to do with Felix, as later generations have confirmed.

The first three are just slackers; their abilities simply don't meet the standards.

Cross is the key to confirming the curse, but Cross's downfall has nothing to do with the curse; he simply got sick on his own.

This will only be confirmed in the future, but by then, Felix will have long since retired.

Felix is ​​currently 31 years old. Although he is indeed getting on in years, he still has a lot of experience.

The only difference is that I can't sprint like I used to.

But he still has consistent shooting skills and a wealth of match experience. Moreover, he has been preparing for this transition for a long time; he just lacks a suitable midfielder to complement him.

Wei Lai was not so arrogant as to think he could activate Felix and bring him back to his peak.

But he did feel that his crescent moon scimitar was quite compatible with Felix's.

In the four months that followed, Wei Lai didn't have much interaction with Conrad Lehmann, but instead sparked a strong connection with Felix.

Wei Lai smiled and looked at Felix:

"Perhaps I really am an angel sent by Hearts?"

"Hey guys, meet at my villa tonight, I'm treating you all to a barbecue party!"

Felix announced loudly, and everyone echoed his sentiments.

Joao Felix may not be the most important player for this Atlético Amsterdam team, but he is definitely the richest.

Wei Lai had just changed his jersey when Felix pulled him over.

"You're coming with me too!"

Wei Lai paused for a moment; "I'll go too!"

Hendrick, standing to the side, chuckled. "Of course, you're the main character!"

Wei Lai asked, puzzled, "Am I the main character?"

Hendrick shrugged and pointed at Felix: "He's helping you integrate into the team!"

Wei Lai turned to look at Felix.

The latter put his arm around Wei Lai's shoulder and winked at him.

"Hearts' Angel!"

hum!
The roar of sports car engines filled the underground parking garage of the base.

This is a brand new Aston Martin, with a streamlined body and a unique front end, giving it a sense of speed and muscle.

Felix took out his car keys and looked at Wei Lai: "Do you want to drive?"

Wei Lai shook his head: "I don't have a driver's license!"

Finally, Felix drove Wei Lai to his villa.

Upon arriving at Felix's villa, Wei Lai felt for the first time the difference between a star player and a regular player.

There is a huge difference in material alone.

The villa is luxurious, with an outdoor swimming pool and a huge lawn covered with flowers and plants.

"What a pity! It would be great if it could be converted into an individual court!" Wei Lai shook his head regretfully as he looked at the lawn.

Felix isn't on a top salary at Atlético Amsterdam, but he doesn't need the money.

He had already earned enough in the Premier League in his early years.

But the most important thing is not these, but the trophies displayed in the cabinet of honor inside the villa.

"Premier League trophy! European Championship trophy! La Liga trophy! Golden Boot! Is this... the Champions League?"

Wei Lai pointed to a trophy in the trophy cabinet and said with envy.

Felix nodded; "This is a replica. The real one is with the club. We won the Champions League in the 15/16 season."

Wei Lai blinked; "The 15/16 season was... the Red Dragons' Miracle Night!"

In the 15/16 Champions League final, Liverpool faced FC Milan. After trailing by two goals at halftime, Liverpool rallied to score three goals in the second half.

At just 21 years old, Felix scored the first goal in the 51st minute of the second half.

In the 78th minute, he scored the winning goal after a solo run, completely reversing the score.

That match took place at the Red Dragon Stadium in Portugal, hence it is known as the 'Miracle Night of the Red Dragons'.

Felix walked over with a pair of hair clippers in his hand, smiling as he said, "I'm actually quite well-known!"

Wei Lai grinned. How could the world's top striker back then be described as merely having some fame?

"Sit down, I'll give you a haircut!"

Wei Lai put on a bed sheet and sat in a chair.

Before long, Wei Lai's hair on both sides of his head, including the back of his head, was straightened, and the hair on his forehead was also cut shorter.

Felix's skills are quite good; after all, he used to be a cool guy and is very good at managing his image.

"This layered fringe hairstyle suits you well. Do you need me to style your hair?"

Felix took out the hairspray and asked.

Wei Lai shook his head; "Let's decide on a date during the competition!"

"no problem!"

Before long, the first-team players from Atlético Amsterdam began to arrive.

All the first-team starters have arrived, and some substitutes have also come.

Some of those who didn't come were mostly peripheral members of the team.

Previously, Wei Lai was also a peripheral figure, but because of Felix, he has gradually entered the inner circle.

For example, he is now sitting next to Felix, with Hendrick on his right and Conrad Lehmann next to him.

"Come on, guys!"

Felix raised his glass; "This toast is to wish us a perfect ending!"

Everyone raised their glasses.

Felix raises his glass again:

"For our second cup, we welcome our new partners!"

After saying that, he grabbed Wei Lai and pulled him up.

Conrad Lehmann chuckled and said, "The Angel of Hearts?"

Felix laughed loudly; "That's right!" Wei Lai awkwardly raised his glass.

Hendrick, standing nearby, shouted, "Let's welcome Wei to the Amsterdam team!"

With a shout, the crowd drank again.

Because Wei Lai is a minor, he can only drink fruit juice.

When Wei Lai sat down again, he saw many substitutes looking at him with envy.

After all, this guy is protected by a big shot!
Hearts' angel, that is certainly a 'curse'.

But it could also be a blessing!
"Back then, you couldn't beat us for an entire season, but you got away with the Champions League by getting a free win!"

"What do you mean by getting a bargain? Who dares to say the Miracle of the Red Dragon has no merit?"

"But you didn't beat us in the league!"

"We won the Champions League!"

Hendrick and Felix were arguing.

These two guys are a former captain of Manchester City and a former star player for Liverpool.

It's hard to imagine these two sitting together, drinking and chatting.

Wei Lai, while eating his barbecue and watching the two bickering, suddenly spoke up;

"I remember that season, Rafael was playing for Manchester City, right?"

Hendrick nodded; "Yes! But he played terribly back then, and his body couldn't take it at all."

"It wasn't that bad!" Wei Lai pouted. "I just wasn't used to it. The second season was much better. I scored six goals and had a lot of assists in a single season."

Hendrick glanced at Wei Lai and suddenly laughed, "You're his fan?"

Wei Lai nodded; "Of course! Nobody dislikes Raphael!"

Hendrick raised an eyebrow; "Didn't you say you were my fan from the beginning?"

Wei Lai was stunned and immediately blushed deeply.

puff!
Conrad Lehmann spat out a mouthful of wine and pointed at Wei Lai, laughing uncontrollably.

"He's flattering you, Captain!"

Wei Lai, his neck stiff, retorted, "I didn't!"

"Hartz's sycophant?"

"you shut up!"

“Hahahahaha!!——”

Hendrick took out his phone; "Should I call him?"

"No need!" Wei Lai quickly waved his hand, somewhat embarrassed. "I don't know what to say, I'm quite embarrassed."

"Alright then!" Hendrick put his phone away.

"Huh?" Wei Lai was stunned; "You really aren't going to fight?"

Wei Lai saw Hendrick, Conrad Lehmann, and the others raise a slight smile as they looked at him with amusement.

He realized he had been tricked again!

Oh shit!

Wei Lai turned his head and began to gnaw on the meat.

The others burst into laughter again.

Two days later, the intensive training ended.

Mr. Morton stood in the locker room announcing the match roster.

He first announced the list of forwards and defenders, and finally the list of midfielders.

A total of five midfielders were selected for the squad.

"Hendrick, Reyesa, Welohosman, Clayson"

Mr. Morton paused, closed his notebook, and looked at Wei Lai; "Wei!"

The locker room fell silent instantly.

All eyes were on Wei Lai.

Wei Lai blinked and turned to look at Felix; "Why is everyone so quiet? What should I do? Celebrate?"

Konrad Lechmann laughed and said, "You have to flatter the captain so he'll pass you the ball more often!"

"Get lost!" Wei Lai glared.

Ha ha ha ha!!!--

Everyone laughed loudly.

Felix patted Wei Lai on the shoulder: "Congratulations!"

Hendrick gestured with his chin toward Wei Lai: "Making the roster doesn't mean you'll play. When you do play, don't hold us back. Matches are different from training."

Many people congratulated Wei Lai, which was also thanks to the dinner party two days ago.

Most of the team members have accepted Wei Lai.

However, some players looked serious.

For example, Reyessa.

He knew that his position overlapped with Wei Lai's.

Despite their different styles, Wei Lai will always pose a threat to my position.

Moreover, Wei Lai's performance in daily training is visibly improving.

Reyesa clenched her fist.

He felt an immense pressure!
Shanghai, China, the headquarters of "Football" magazine.

After Yao Chaoyang went to work, he immediately logged onto the official website of Atlético Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Before each match, the team would announce the roster.

Since last December, he has been watching the Eredivisie matches every week before they start, hoping to see that name appear.

Despite being disappointed each time, he persisted.

Ha~~~~!

Yao Chaoyang yawned, took a sip of an iced Americano, and finally managed to ward off some of his drowsiness.

He opened the latest roster page and dragged the mouse down.

Suddenly, the mouse cursor froze, and my eyes widened in shock.

He rubbed his eyes and checked again.

At the end of the list, he saw a name.

Amsterdam Athletic #25, Wei, L!

"Holy crap!—"

Yao Chaoyang suddenly stood up and rushed into the editor-in-chief's office.

"Boss, it's in! It's in! It's in!"

Yao Chaoyang's loud shouting left the editor-in-chief completely bewildered.

"What came in?"

Yao Chaoyang exclaimed excitedly, "Wei Lai! Wei Lai is on the roster! After four months! He disappeared for four months, and he's finally on the roster!"

"They're really in?"

The editor-in-chief was also taken aback for a moment, then immediately stood up and said, "I'll submit an application to headquarters. You go to the airport immediately and be ready to depart at any time."

Yao Chaoyang immediately nodded; "No problem, the visa has already been processed in advance, we've been waiting for this moment."

"Excellent!" The editor-in-chief slammed his hand on the table. "Let's get started!"

Immediately, the entire magazine office became busy.

At the same time, a trending topic suddenly appeared on Chinese social media.

[After disappearing for four months, Wei Lai has finally made the roster!]

This news has already gone viral and caused a sensation across the internet.

Many fans still remember Wei Lai from the U17 World Cup last November.

Wei Lai disappeared for four months after that.

Now that they've finally made the roster, their expectations are skyrocketing.

Holy crap! Finally, some news!

'He's on the roster! A cause for celebration!'

After disappearing for four months, is Wei Lai finally set to play in the Dutch Eredivisie?

'Don't get too excited! Even if you make the roster, whether you'll actually get to play is another question.'

Who will Atlético Amsterdam play this round?

'Rotterdam Warriors! A mid-table team in the Eredivisie, they should be able to beat them, especially since they're playing at home. They might even get a chance to play during garbage time!'

The news continues to spread, especially after it was confirmed on the official website of Atlético Amsterdam. Domestic media, social media, and football short video bloggers are all rushing to the Netherlands.

For Chinese football, the two most watched players playing abroad right now are Li Lei, a former Hongyun striker who currently plays in Ligue 1.

Another one is former Willie midfielder, currently playing for Atlético Amsterdam.

They play at a league intensity that is fundamentally different from other players who play abroad.

Moreover, compared to Li Lei, Wei Lai is only 17 years old this year.

He is perfectly capable of saying "the future is promising".

Therefore, every game he plays is crucial, and even if he makes the roster, there is still a possibility that he will play.

This is also why domestic media flocked to the scene.

Meanwhile, at the training ground of Amsterdam Arena.

Wei Lai kept sending crosses into the penalty area.

He moved back and forth between the right flank and the sideline during tactical simulation training.

"The Rotterdam Warriors are very likely to park the bus at our home stadium!"

The Rotterdam Warriors are in a mid-table position, but they have a chance to qualify for the UEFA play-offs.

The Rotterdam Warriors' overall strength is not strong enough, which makes it difficult for them to take the initiative to win the game.

They currently have only 6 wins, while they have a whopping 12 draws.

This is the result of laying out buses one by one and slowly wearing them down.

Conversely, Atlético Amsterdam was not particularly adept at breaking down defensive barriers.

They primarily rely on aggressive drives to create scoring opportunities.

But Morton had a different idea for this match.

If Konrad Lehmann fails to make breakthroughs on the wing in the first half, creating threats or scoring goals.

He will then appoint Wei Lai.

We'll use Wei Lai's crossing ability and set-piece tactics to break through this turtle shell!
Old Master Morton watched Wei Lai's figure and slowly said;
"Athletic Amsterdam's debut is never a chance to shine, but a test!"
