The system rewarded him with a pair of feet that did not belong to him.
The day after Xu Bai woke up from Hamburg's youth training, the gray-white panel hung in the corner of his field of vision. This thing didn't talk to him or explain to him. It only popped up a line of words after every official game: It can be drawn once. Then flip the cards. It doesn't matter what it turns over - Kanter's lungs, Beckham's arc, Ronaldo's pendulum, sometimes it's Quan Hongchan's diving moves, sometimes it's Su Bingtian's starting blocks. It's time-limited, use it once or less, and remove it from the bones when the time is up. Occasionally, permanent cards are drawn. Morata's double inverse foot, Benteke's stop, and Di Maria's right foot that only knows how to pass. The words "Permanent Binding" are embedded in the ankle like a soldering iron. They cannot be removed or replaced.
So he stopped the ball three meters away at the Dortmund training camp and hit the corner flagpole with his shot. Reus squatted on the ground and laughed until he breathed out, calling him the corner flag killer. Klopp watched three training sessions and drew a circle on the tactical board - his brain is diamond, his left foot is shit. Gotze taught him to stop the ball with his right foot, Lewandowski taught him to sail the ball with his header, and Hummels patted him on the shoulder and said it was okay. Xu Bai said don't lie to me. Hummels said I didn't lie to you, I have never seen anyone with such a bad left foot.
He still broke into the first team in the fall of 2012. The group of death in the Champions League includes Real Madrid and Manchester City. In the knockout round, they will play against Malaga for a stunning victory. They will meet Real Madrid again in the semi-finals. The Wembley turf is waiting at the end of May. His teammates didn't know how that season would end. Gotze would leave and Dortmund would lose. Xu Bai knows. He doesn't say
