In April 2007, Wolverhampton was still cold and the flowers, plants and trees broke free from the shackles of winter and began to spit out green and beautiful under the call of spring. This small city in the mid-west of England is rejuvenating.

Wolverhampton is located in the West Midland metropolitan area, 19 kilometers northwest of Birmingham, with a population of more than 200,000 and an area of ​​69 square kilometers. This is a typical small city, with no history that makes people proud, and no earth-shaking figures have appeared in history.

If you must list the reasons to make Wolverhamptonians, be proud and proud, then there are only two reasons:

One is that the city has one of the largest universities in England - the University of Wolverhampton; the other is that this city with a population of more than 200,000 has a professional football team - the Wolves.

A city with a population of more than 200,000 can have a professional football team, and this team has won the FA Cup and won the top league in England three times in the 1950s and twice in the 1970s.

This is obviously the most proud thing for Wolverhamptons.

After the glory of the 1950s, the Wolves began to slump and even dropped to the D-League. Then, with the hard work of several generations, the Wolves began to recover and finally entered the top league in England again in 2003 - the Premier League.

However, the good times did not last long. A year later, Wolves fell into the Championship again. In 2005, they fell from the Championship to the League One. In two years, they fell from the Premier League to the League One, and fell two levels in a row, which was surprising and made Wolverhampton people feel sad.

In 2006, they finally stopped their decline and did not fall into the League Two. At the beginning of this season, Wolves boss Morgan made a bold statement and wanted to enter the League Championship. The Wolves started well and ranked fifth in the standings in the first five rounds, but the good times did not last long, and their results plummeted.

In order to get rid of the team's dilemma, the boss Morgan fired head coach Jones. However, the Wolves' nightmare continues and their condition continues to be sluggish. So they changed their coach and became Morgan's killer weapon. The current coach Stillman is already the fourth coach of Wolves this season.

Stillman has not allowed the team to get out of the predicament. The team is now ranked third from the bottom in the standings. This is the relegation zone. According to the regulations on promotion and relegation of the English League One, the last four will be demoted to the English League Two.

The Wolverhamptons did not fulfill their boss's bold statement at the beginning of the season, but instead fell into the relegation zone, which made the Wolverhamptons feel heartbroken.

As the saying goes, the monkeys fall and the monkeys scatter, the Wolf players are starting to find opportunities to transfer, and the morale of the whole team is depressed.

...

On Saturday, April 7th, at 5pm, a few white clouds hung in the blue sky. It was a bright day and a pleasant day for Wolverhampton, which had been raining for more than a dozen days.

Wang Rui rushed off the bus with his sports bag on his back. The first thing he did after getting off the bus was to bend over and exhale a long breath. Then he inhale a sip of moist air and then spit out a sputum.

"Damn it, it's such a bad day!" Wang Rui straightened his waist and frowned and cursed softly.

It was indeed very unlucky today. I was injured again during training. Not only did my teammates not comfort him, but instead spitted into the turf and snorted "Glass Man" in contempt.

Wang Rui has long been accustomed to injury, as if he is as natural as eating and dressing. If he is not injured within a month, it will be a miracle.

After training, Wang Rui limped onto the bus. Soon he felt sad. After a stop, two big fat men came up and sat in front of him. The two big fat men kept giving off disgusting body odor.

Wang Rui originally wanted to change to another location, but he was sadly aware that there was no empty space in the car. So he suffered more than 20 minutes of damage.

In the end, he couldn't help getting off the bus one stop early, and would rather walk a few hundred meters more than escape from the disgusting body odor.

Wang Rui didn't take his contempt and even ridicule from his teammates. He had been used to the Wolves for more than a year. He had let himself be called "Star of Hope" but had never contributed to the team. What's more, he had a foreshadowing that his career was about to end.

The contract expires in one month. The Wolves are unwilling to renew the contract. Does anyone want a glass person?

"I haven't played a professional game, can I be called a professional football player?" Wang Rui limped on the slightly wet concrete road and sighed: "Dad, it's not that I don't insist, but that there is nothing I can do. You have to forgive me."

"We have to consider the future."

What can I do if I leave the Wolves?

Go to school and take the college entrance exam and find a job?

Or... go to take the coaching license and find a club to be a youth football coach?

Wang Rui thinks that the latter idea is more reliable. With his own skills, as long as he obtains a coaching license and his experience in Manchester United's youth training camp, some clubs may be willing to accept him. As for whether he can go further after becoming a youth coach and become the head coach of the first team...

That's too far away, not the time to think about it now.

Thinking of this, Wang Rui's stiff face became softer, and the gloom in his eyes also dissipated. The worst thing about a person is that he has no goals in life. People without goals are like walking corpses. Wang Rui is only seventeen years old and his life is just beginning. He doesn't want the walking corpse to live his life.

Looking back at Manchester United's youth training camp, he was the best player. He once won the best player in the U14 in England. Some people even believe that he will become the greatest midfielder. The main basis for those who hold this view is that Wang Rui has a delicate and ghost pass, which comes from his extraordinary sense of ball.

What does a great midfielder need most?

Of course, you need a midfielder who can deliver shells to the striker to be considered great. Of course, if Wang Rui wants to become a great midfielder, there is another premise, that is, he can grow up healthily without falling due to injuries or other factors.

At that time, Wang Rui was a genius player. His future was bright, flowers and spotlights, and a football superstar standing in the Premier League and even the world arena.

However, as he grows older, training and competitions become stronger and stronger, Wang Rui finds that his biggest problem has emerged - he is often injured, which is what people call "glass man".

Wang Rui fell from the clouds to the mortal world. Fortunately, he was strong-willed and did not become decadent from now on, so he continued to persevere. Manchester United did not take risks and signed this young genius who was destined to be bumpy in the future. The Wolves were willing to take this risk and paid 500,000 pounds to buy the genius of Manchester United's youth training camp.

Manchester United's youth training camp is well-known in the UK and even has a great reputation in the world. Manchester United achieved the triple crown in 1999 and became the most famous club in the world at that time. Its main hero was the "Golden 92 Generation" of Manchester United's youth training camp.

Beckham, Giggs, Scholes, Neville, etc., these stars have long become familiar names for fans around the world.

Wang Rui came to Wolverhampton and became a good story at that time. Local media called him the "Star of Hope" and was hailed as "the hope for the future rise of the Wolverhampton!".

There is a faint fragrance of pollen in the air. Wang Rui's mouth slightly raised, he shook his head with a self-deprecating look, and walked along the river towards home. So what if he has ambitions, can the "glass man" achieve great achievements?

"Someone fell into the water, save people quickly!"

A scream woke up Wang Rui who was thinking. He quickly looked at the river and a girl fell into the water. Out of instinct, Wang Rui did not hesitate and quickly threw down his sports bag. Regardless of the pain in his right ankle, he ran two steps and jumped down.

"Bang dong..." With a sound, Wang Rui crawled into the cold river and dived towards the girl who fell into the water. The winter in April had just left, and the river water was cold. A few seconds later, Wang Rui forced himself to hold back the cold and came out of the water.

What surprised him was that the girl who fell into the water was not panicked, but her face was full of smiles and she skillfully paddled the water.

"Are you here to swim? Or come to save me?"

The girl paddled the water and asked at Wang Rui who was close to her. The girl's voice was crisp, nice, and pure London sound.

It turns out that he is self-indulgent!

Wang Rui scolded the guy who just shouted to save someone in his heart. He was so amused that he was amused and crying. It just passed a week after April Fool's Day, why...

After wiping the water on his face, Wang Rui couldn't help but shiver. He looked at the girl and said, "Who can swim in this ghost weather? Unless there is a brain problem..."

The girl heard his anger and said apologetically: "Sorry, my foot slipped and fell into the river, which made you misunderstand."

"No matter what, I still have to say thank you!"

The girl's long golden hair is wet, a skillful nose, a slender face, slender eyebrows, rose-like lips, a large hazel mole on the corner of her mouth on the right side, fifteen or six years old.

Whether from the perspective of Westerners or from the perspective of Easterners, girls deserve the word "beauty". Due to the cold river water, the girl's face was a little pale and her lips were a little white, but she still couldn't hide her beauty.

The girl said so, what else can Wang Rui say?

The river water was still cold. He had no interest in continuing to soak in the water, nor was he in the mood to take the opportunity to get close to this beautiful and pure girl in the water, and turned around and swam towards the shore.

Twisting the wet clothes, Wang Rui found that his right ankle no longer hurts. He shook his head and said in his heart: This is a reward for doing good deeds.

As a professional football player who has not participated in a formal professional competition, of course, he knows that his right ankle will no longer hurt because of the cold river.

The first treatment step for athletes after injury is to apply ice to reduce blood and tissue fluid accumulation under the skin, which is conducive to later recovery.

The cold river water had the effect of ice compressing, so the pain in Wang Rui's right ankle temporarily left him.

The sound of clothes twisting came from behind him. Wang Rui did not turn around and asked, "Go home quickly and be careful of a cold."

"Ahh, it turns out you can swim, I thought you can't swim."
